Chapter 781: Difficult to Attack for a Long Time

As the Liangzhou Army began to attack the city, the stone bomb offensive inevitably stopped. Tens of thousands of Liangzhou Army surrounded the ladder trucks and well railings and advanced towards Jiameng Pass.

The well railing is a huge wooden platform with wheels that can be pushed. Soldiers can climb on the wooden platform, and then tilt the arrow rain from the wooden platform to suppress the enemy. During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao built a large number of well fences to suppress Cao's army.

Whoosh whoosh!

The well railings were crowded with Liangzhou soldiers in black. They held bows and arrows in their hands, aiming at the rain of arrows tilted above the city head. Tens of thousands of arrows were fired from top to bottom from under the well railings. When he came out, the top of the city was suddenly filled with arrows.

"Beware of enemy attacks!"

Zhang Ren gave an order, and thousands of Yizhou soldiers in the city immediately rushed out. The swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row raised their large shields to resist the rain of arrows pouring down from the well railings, while the archers behind the swordsmen and shieldmen raised their shields. He picked up the bow and arrow without haste and fired back. The arrows raining on the well fence and the top of the city were coming and going, which was extremely exciting.

"Siege the city!"

One after another, the ladder trucks hit the city wall with a loud bang, and then slowly stood up. Dozens of ladder trucks covered Jiamengguan City for a while, and then rows of soldiers climbed up the ladders. Above, they launched an offensive towards Jiameng Pass.

"Drive the enemy troops off the city!"

Previously, the Liangzhou Army used thunder chariots to launch a fierce attack on the city. Zhang Renyuan was naturally helpless on top of the city. Now that the Liangzhou Army launched an siege, he naturally had a place to use.

Zhang Ren's command was steady, and the archers and swordsmen of the Yizhou army poured out in a steady stream to resist the charging Liangzhou army.

I saw the Yizhou soldiers on top of the city one by one picking up the rolling logs and stones placed on the top of the city, and then throwing them down with all their strength. Some of the stronger soldiers took them on the spot and directly threw the stones that had just been shot by thunderbolt chariots. The stone bullets that came up were lifted up and thrown down hard.

"ah!"

Several screams were heard from time to time from the Liangzhou Army on the ladder. They were hit by rolling logs or rocks falling from the top of the city. They were all bloody and bloody on the spot. One accidentally fell from the ladder and landed on the ground very badly. Death means injury, so sad.

"Put on fire oil!"

Zhang Ren gave an order, and his soldiers threw several jars and smashed them on a manhole railing. They broke into pieces and the kerosene on them immediately spread on the manhole railing.

"ignition!"

Another torch was thrown out, and the kerosene in the altar was ignited by a spark. With the help of kerosene, the entire wooden frame immediately burst into flames.

The flames burned, and the Liangzhou soldiers on the wooden frame suddenly became chaotic.

"It's not good, the fire is coming."

"What should I do? The fire is so big, how can it go down?"

"It's over, it's over, I'm dead now."

The flames were burning brightly. The manhole railings were made of wood. When burned by the flames, they naturally burned quickly. The Liangzhou soldiers on the manhole railings were in a mess. The flames burned higher and higher. Sooner or later, they would be burned. But what to do?

In panic, some Liangzhou soldiers jumped directly from the manhole railing. The manhole railing was several feet high. They jumped from the manhole railing and suddenly turned into a ball of meat.

As the flames burned, the manhole railing quickly turned into a ball of ashes, but the Liangzhou soldiers above screamed and were either buried in the blazing flames or fell down and died alive.

Ma Teng was furious when he saw this, drew his sword and said angrily: "The whole army attacks fiercely, we must take Jiameng Pass today!"

Ma Teng was angry. Naturally, the front troops of the Liangzhou Army did not dare to neglect. They launched their troops and attacked fiercely. For a moment, an endless rain of arrows enveloped the top of Jiameng Pass. More and more Liangzhou soldiers climbed to the top of the city on the ladder. However, the walls of Jiamengguan were very tall, so they suffered heavy losses from the rolling logs and stones dropped by the Yizhou army.

After finally ascending to the top of the city, under the siege of the Yizhou Army, the Liangzhou Army was never able to occupy the top of the city.

This fierce attack lasted for half a day. Under the wall of Jiamengguan, there were corpses of the Liangzhou army. Liu Ye frowned when he saw them.

"Forget it, give the order to retreat."

After the news reached the Chinese army, Ma Teng was very anxious and said to the messenger: "Go and report to the general. Give me half a day. I will organize a fierce attack and we will definitely capture Jiameng Pass!"

"General Ma, the general has an order to withdraw his troops and return to camp. General Ma, please obey the order."

Ma Teng sighed: "It's a pity, okay."

Under Liu Ye's order, Ma Teng naturally did not dare to disobey, so he ordered to withdraw his troops. Suddenly, the sound of gold ringing sounded. After hearing the sound of gold ringing, the Liangzhou army on the top of the city couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and started to follow Liu Ye's orders. Retreat downward from the top of the city.

The shafts and ladder trucks began to retreat slowly, and Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Counterattack!"

Generals Leng Bao and Deng Xian naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to beat the drowned dog, and led the Yizhou Army above the city to launch a fierce attack. The Liangzhou Army retreated steadily under the Yizhou Army's counterattack, and some of them had no time to respond. He retreated on the ladder and had no choice but to jump down and immediately fell into a puddle of meat.

Ma Teng was angry that he could not attack for a long time, so he ordered the Pili Chariot to launch a round of artillery bombardment at Jiameng Pass in retaliation.

Whoosh whoosh!

Stone bullets soared into the sky and landed hard on the city head. The Yizhou soldiers screamed and suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

However, Jiameng Pass is indeed very strong. Today, dozens of Pili vehicles aimed at Jiameng Pass and attacked it fiercely, bombarding it for no less than half an hour. However, Jiameng Pass seemed not to be damaged at all. It was indeed very strong.

"The Liangzhou Army's Pili Chariots are indeed powerful. No wonder the Liangzhou Army has been invincible in recent years."

Witnessing the power of the Pili Car with his own eyes, Leng Bao couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, it would be great if we could capture a Thunderbolt car and study it." Deng Xian agreed.

"What do you mean, you want to attack the camp at night and capture a Thunderbolt car?" Zhang Ren said slowly.

Deng Xian and Leng Bao nodded. The Thunderbolt Chariot fired stone bullets, which were invincible. The Yizhou Army could only retreat and defend. If they could use them for their own purposes, they would naturally be invincible.

"Liu Ye is cautious in using his troops. I'm afraid he is already prepared, so he might as well forget about attacking the enemy camp at night."

Zhang Ren shook his head. Seeing that Zhang Ren refused to agree, Deng Xian and Leng Bao couldn't say anything.

At this time, the Liangzhou Army camp was even more unhappy.

Ma Teng frowned and drank wine without saying a word.

Since the establishment of the army, the Liangzhou Army has been almost invincible and won every battle. However, he did not expect that today it would suffer heavy losses under the mere city of Jiameng Pass. This makes Ma Teng so happy.

And Liu Ye, who is in the main position, seems to have already made up his mind.

"Brother Shoucheng, I will give you a task, do you dare to accept it?"

Ma Teng put down his wine glass and said dullly, "General, just give me your orders."
