Chapter 1114 Obstructed(2/2)
"Quick! Quick!" The captain held his shield and shouted loudly, and then urged the surrounding soldiers to speed up.
Amidst the roar, the soldiers pushed the chariot faster and faster and rushed towards Tongguan City Gate!
"boom!"
The huge battering ram made of simple swinging trees hit the city gate, making a deafening bang. At this moment, the Tongguan City Gate seemed to shake back, and you could even see the gap in the gate.
The light revealed in it...
As if seeing a ray of hope, Lieutenant Chang shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to hit the city gate again!
The loud sound of Tongguan hitting the city gate came over. Yang Jun couldn't help but feel happy, his brows relaxed, and he suddenly felt that the pressure on his body was reduced a lot. Normally, the city gate is the biggest weakness of a city, so if he broke the city gate open
After that, the morale of both sides was almost reversed, and the defending side would quickly fall into a passive situation.
And Yang Jun knew that most of the previous barbicans in Tongguan had collapsed due to disrepair, so if the gate was knocked open, it would basically be possible to break through!
"Chinese army is ready!" Yang Jun shouted loudly, "Come forward to pick up..."
Before Yang Jun could finish the word "response", he suddenly saw a fire under the gate of Tongguan City!
With a "hoo" sound, a huge ball of flame burst out from under Tongguan City, and immediately engulfed the city-attack vehicle converted from a baggage truck and all the surrounding soldiers!
The flames soared into the sky, reflecting a huge change in Yang Jun's face. The originally excited blood suddenly turned pale.
Several soldiers rushed out staggeringly with fire all over their bodies. They covered their faces, howled loudly, and rolled on the ground, but they still could not extinguish the flames on their bodies, and soon fell silent.
He fell to the ground, dead, but his body and legs were still twitching and twisting under the flames, and then gradually curled up into a ball and turned into coke...
In addition to the original smell of blood, the air under Tongguan City was filled with bursts of burning aroma...
Yang Jun's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously took a step back, as if the flames had burned him, and he swallowed back the order he was planning to give.
The flames at the city gate also completely ruined the rhythm of the attack. Before the flames were extinguished, no one could get close to the city gate. The archers on both wings lost the meaning of cover, so they quickly retreated despite the orders.
, leaving corpses here and there.
Seeing Lieutenant Chang retreat, Yang Jun barely suppressed the uneasy look on his face and asked calmly: "How?"
The captain took off his helmet. Even though it was winter, sweat was still flowing down his face, "Yang Congcao, judging from the defense of the city gate, Tongguan has already been prepared... If he charges again...
The city gate, I’m afraid, is also..."
The captain shook his head and continued: "If we still want to attack the city, we can only attack it with ants... Judging from the counterattack just now, there are at least a thousand defenders on the city. If we want to attack it with ants, we...
I'm afraid the manpower is still not enough, and we still need to mobilize additional reinforcements... Before, General Huangfu attacked the city, mobilized countless civilians, and injured thousands of soldiers... If the Xiliang soldiers had no reinforcements at that time, I'm afraid..."
Yang Jun heard this and looked at Tongguan in front of him. Although the city wall was dilapidated and some of the damage left in the last war had not been completely repaired, it did not damage the power of Tongguan. It was like a ferocious beast.
Even though his body was covered in scars, he still looked majestic.
"...Come here! Report this matter to Duke Yang immediately!" Yang Jun thought silently for a long time, and then said, "All the troops! Retreat five miles to form a stronghold!"
