Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 386 Attacking Yilan County

As Lu Yulin issued the order, the Han army began to prepare siege ladders and the like.

At the same time, thousands of people worked together to build several simple siege engines for city siege in one day.

However, the defenders and officials of Yilan County were frightened out of their wits by this action of the Han army.

After all, the Han army marched so fast that it only took four days to get from Ningzhi County to the county seat.

Moreover, looking at the posture of the Han army and the construction of siege equipment, it is obvious that they want to capture the county in one fell swoop!

In response to this, the county guard asked General Fu in a panic: "Commander Fu, do you think we can stop these wolf-like tiger-like Han thieves?"

In response to the county guard's question, Mr. Fu was silent for a while, and finally chose to confess.

"No, I see that the Han bandits are well-organized and have such strong fighting spirit while marching hundreds of miles a day. It is impossible for us to hold on."

"Besides, I took a closer look at the Han thieves today. There are about 8000 of them, all of them elite. If they attack, we can't stop them."

"What's more, our military strength is insufficient, and the training of the young men recruited is extremely poor. The Han thieves only need to attack one place, and the young men will be defeated."

The county guard turned pale when he heard this, "Isn't it possible? Haven't we urgently recruited five thousand soldiers and horses? And there are tens of thousands of Dingkou in the county city. No matter what, there are more people than the Han thieves!"

Mr. Fu shook his head: "I still say the same thing, if you don't have enough food and training, you won't be able to be used!"

"More importantly, we don't have enough weapons."

As soon as these words came out, the governor's face became even more ugly.

Why the soldiers are not trained enough, why they don't have enough food to eat, why they don't have enough weapons, all of this has to do with him.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret putting yourself in such a dangerous place for a little money.

If he could do it over again, he would definitely pay attention to the training of soldiers and horses.

Of course, if he could do it over again, he would probably search more vigorously and then escape before the Han army arrived.

So at this time, he had already turned his attention to the north gate.

And could Mr. Fu not know about this?

Of course he knows, and he even knows what it means to be surrounded by three and missing one.

It's just that the vitality is there, and they can't help but be tempted.

The next day, the Han soldiers had breakfast early. As the horn sounded, they began to push simple shield carts and carry ladders to prepare for the attack.

As for why it is a shield vehicle, I can only say that a simple siege vehicle is not easy to make, and because it is too simple, if it is destroyed at the gate of the city, it will be a big problem.

I saw them holding up shields and carrying ladders, shouting to kill and rushing towards the city wall.

In response, the defenders on the city wall were also extremely panicked.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows go."

Being condescending, arrows always shoot farther.

But the premise is that the archers must have enough food and strength.

The defenders basically don't have these.

Coupled with the fact that the Han army was covered by chariots, shields, and armor, the arrows seemed so incapable of killing them.

Moreover, the Han army is not someone who only takes beatings without fighting back.

Therefore, after the archers in the army reached a certain location, they began to shoot arrows to suppress the enemies on the city wall.

Its focus is on the place where the ladder is set up and the archers.

This is where the most damage is done to siege soldiers.

However, as long as the guards hide behind parapets or crenellations, most of them can avoid the damage of arrows.

Of course, the purpose of the Han army was also the same. They did not seek maximum damage, but only sought to suppress them. As long as they could not cause much damage to the soldiers attacking the city.

At this time, all three infantry battalions of the Han army were engaged in siege, and each brigade was responsible for a separate section. Whether viewed from the outside or from the inside, Han troops were everywhere.

At the same time, I can only be thankful that the moat in Yilan County is not wide, only a mere ten feet. Otherwise, it would just be a temporary wooden bridge that the soldiers would not be able to pass.

Soon, the Han army crossed the moat and attacked the city wall, followed by erecting ladders and climbing up quickly.

And often, this time is the most tragic time.

After the ladder was hooked on the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city knew that the Han army had set up the ladder, so they wanted to push it.

Of course, this is something only inexperienced men can do.

The experienced soldiers took out their spears and tried to penetrate them.

As for letting them reveal their heads to attack, they would not dare.

"Quick, Golden Juice!"

In response, some officers guarding the city roared and ordered the gold juice to be poured out, but this stuff did not boil quickly, so pouring it down did not cause any psychological insult to the Han soldiers, and almost no harm was done.

"Stones and rolling wood, release it quickly, release it quickly!"

Seeing that the golden juice didn't start at all, the officer could only urge the strong men to smash rocks and rolling logs below.

However, the archers of the Han army had already noticed this situation.

Therefore, the arrows were shot very densely, and at the same time, there were magic archers watching closely, and if anyone dared to show his head, he would kill them with a wisp of arrows.

Of course, these magic archers are not from the combat brigade, but are drawn from the personal guards, reconnaissance brigade and guard force.

They used iron bows, which were very powerful and could shoot far and accurately.

Therefore, when the soldiers guarding the city, under the intimidation of the officers, tremblingly lifted up the rocks and rolled logs and prepared to throw them down, they were greeted by a precise arrow.

The arrows sometimes came out of the brain. Such tragedies were like hell to the strong man.

Therefore, despite the urging of the officers, it would be difficult for a strong man to rush forward directly.

Most of the strong men and soldiers went to the crenel or the female wall, without showing their heads, and just threw the stones and rolling logs down.

For a moment, the soldiers below were even more miserable than the soldiers climbing the city. The unlucky ones were hit by stones and their brains were split.

However, the situation at this time was that they could not stop at all. Even if they were splashed with golden juice, they could only endure the anger and climb up.

At this time, even Lu Yulin couldn't help but choose a better time to attack and did not give the defenders more time, otherwise the soldiers would suffer heavy losses under the golden juice.

In the fierce battlefield, there were not many shouts of killing.

Moreover, the siege was not that smooth. It was like some soldiers were knocked down by rolling logs just after climbing halfway up, and fell to the ground and died.

Similarly, some people saw the rocks falling and thought about their colleagues who were following them. Then they clung to the ladder to prevent the rocks from falling down, and died miserably on the ladder.

And this is just a corner of the battlefield.

In some places, soldiers rushed forward smoothly, but before they could gain a firm foothold, they were pushed down or surrounded to death by the soldiers guarding the city.

In short, the gap is difficult to open, even when wearing armor.

Seeing this, a captain gritted his teeth as he watched the brothers under his command suffer numerous casualties, and then roared angrily.

"Archers, wait for me to rush forward and cover the place where I stand with arrows."

After that, he put on his helmet, stepped forward and climbed up the ladder with the knife between his teeth.

Because among the Han army, all the captains must have developed internal strength, so although they cannot go up and down, they can still climb the ladder quite quickly.

With little time to spare, he climbed up to the top of the city and roared:

"kill!"

After roaring, he chopped down a soldier in front of him with one knife.

At this time, the archers under the city wall saw this situation and immediately fired their arrows.

The arrows almost covered the place where the captain was standing and the surrounding area.

"kill!"

Among these arrows, it was no surprise that some of them hit the captain. Even though he was wearing armor, it was inevitable that some of the arrows would hit unprotected or weakly protected areas.

However, the pain not only did not make him lose his fighting strength, but instead made him even more angry.

"kill!"

He roared angrily, drew his knife and slashed at the officers and soldiers in the distance.

The soldiers under the city wall also took advantage of this opportunity to climb up, and soon gained a firm foothold.

Once a breakthrough is opened, there will be a steady stream of military support.

"The Han thieves are coming, the Han thieves are coming!"

Daqian officers and soldiers roared crazily, trying to stabilize their formation.

However, a steady stream of Han soldiers climbed up the city wall, and with only their armor and knives in their hands, they rushed towards the officers and soldiers crazily.

In an instant, it collapsed at the first touch.

As the leading officers died or fled, the Han troops shouted.

"The city is broken, the city is broken."

For a moment, people on the city wall were panicked and at a loss. They could only follow the flow and run away when they saw someone running.

Then, the city wall was successfully captured by the Han army.
