The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 566: Strange Siege Phenomenon
Li Suigang was terrified and was about to send more archers, but at this moment, he found that several ladder defense lines had collapsed, and his soldiers attacked the city wall.
Seeing this scene, Li Suigang's solemn expression suddenly revealed a mixture of joy and sarcasm. He felt that he was too worried and actually felt uneasy.
How could the Yan army compare with him in terms of strength? It would be very easy to attack the city wall.
The generals around were also delighted. Soldiers from several ladders attacked the city wall, and at least hundreds of people broke in. With these hundreds of people, they could quickly expand the victory.
However, they were happy for nearly half a quarter of an hour, but they were afraid when they heard a burst of dense gunshots from the city wall.
There were screams, but there was no sign of chaos among the Yan army on the city wall. Their soldiers attacking the city kept falling down, and as soon as they reached the top of the wall, they were either shot by arrows or fell off the wall inexplicably.
This... Li Suigang and his generals who were too proud of themselves were dumbfounded. They thought they had seen it wrong.
How is this possible! They can obviously capture it, so why can't they? Moreover, half an hour has passed since the battle started, and they seem to have not seen any losses in the Yan army.
What the hell is going on?! Li Suigang and the others felt their scalps go numb. They couldn't believe it was real!
Of the nearly 10,000 Silla soldiers attacking the city, nearly 2,000 died in half an hour. Up to now, except for the fact that they climbed the city wall several times, the other results of the battle were almost negligible.
In astonishment, Li Suigang quickly sent out archers again. He felt that he had to send more archers to expand the results of the battle.
Previously, he had sent out only 1,000 archers, with 50 people assigned to each of the 20 siege vehicles. This time, he sent out 2,000 archers. Among the 100,000-man army, the number of archers was only 10,000.
He had sent out nearly a third of his archers.
The 2,000 archers were assigned 100 people to each siege vehicle. They aimed at the Yan army on the siege and launched an attack. But as soon as they launched the attack, they all fell down one by one and died! No one knew how they died.
When Li Suigang saw this scene, he finally stopped being proud. He just sat down and stood up in astonishment. Looking at the strange phenomenon, his scalp became even more numb!
Just as his scalp was tingling, the twenty Dayan soldiers guarding the city on the ladders seemed to collapse completely. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Silla soldiers on the ladders rushed onto the city wall in an instant.
Because of this collapse, the Silla soldiers below were unable to catch up, causing the entire siege vehicle to break.
The moment this happened, Li Suigang's face was filled with ecstasy, his fists clenched tightly, and he looked up to the sky and cheered. This time it was a total collapse, at least five or six hundred people attacked in the shortest possible time.
With so many people on the city wall, no matter how strong Dayan was, they would not be able to hold on. He watched the soldiers under the siege vehicle rushing onto it again, and his face became even happier.
As long as the people above can hold on for thirty or forty breaths, the entire Youdu City will be broken! He really wanted to roar to the sky.
But before he could let out a long roar, he heard a series of banging sounds from the city wall and screams. This situation made Li Suigang frown.
He had seen such situations several times before. His side often had several ladders to defeat the enemy. They attacked, and at one time there were nearly two hundred people who attacked the city wall.
However, in the end, all these people seemed to have disappeared, as if they had never attacked the city wall. He thought it was because the Yan army on the city wall was powerful and the reserve soldiers destroyed those who attacked them.
But now there are five or six hundred people attacking. With so many people, they should be able to hold out for a while.
But who would have thought that after the dense banging sounds, their people stopped moving, and this situation made Li Suigang feel like he had seen a ghost. It was really too weird.
Before Li Suigang could react, he saw the Yan army on the city wall suddenly throw several huge packages onto the siege vehicle below.
The package was emitting black smoke and sparks. By the time he reacted, he heard a series of loud noises. Then, the twenty siege vehicles that he was so proud of were suddenly blown to pieces.
The soldiers beside the siege vehicles and the soldiers on the siege vehicles were all in trouble. Some were killed or injured. The whole area under the city wall suddenly wailed.
Li Suigang's eyes were filled with fear, and he stood there in a daze, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time. He couldn't believe this was real.
He had attacked the city wall several times, but why couldn't he break through it? It felt like someone was deliberately playing a trick on him.
But he didn't believe that the Yan army on the city wall would joke with the entire Youdu Prefecture. If the other party was playing a joke on him, he might end up shooting himself in the foot if things went wrong.
Unless the other party is sure enough to prevent them from attacking. But is this possible? No!
He could only think that the other party had just managed to hold on several times and was just lucky.
However, what shocked him now was that the siege vehicles were destroyed. Twenty siege vehicles, this was a heavy loss. He only had twenty siege vehicles with him. Now, without siege vehicles, how could he attack the city?
Li Suigang looked up at the wall of Youdu Prefecture and had a guess in his mind. The enemy might not be able to withstand their attack, and they almost let them break through the top of the city several times. As a last resort, he used the secret weapon in his hand to destroy their siege vehicle.
He believed that as long as the number of troops and siege vehicles was increased, it would not be difficult to capture Youdu Prefecture.
After coming to his senses, Li Suigang gave the order to withdraw the troops. The siege vehicle was destroyed and they could no longer attack the city, so they had to withdraw the troops.
But he did not give up and prepared to continue besieging the city. In addition to trapping the army in the city to death, he also prepared to dispatch more siege vehicles as soon as possible, preferably a hundred of them.
He didn't believe that with hundreds of siege vehicles attacking together, the Youdu Prefecture would be able to come up with weapons to destroy their siege vehicles.
After all, if the other side really had a lot of such weapons, it would be impossible for them to almost break through the city wall several times. They were obviously anxious, and after almost collapsing for the last time, they had to choose secret weapons.
Once this secret weapon is exposed, there will be no obstacle to their siege of the city.
After withdrawing his troops and taking stock of the battle situation, Li Suigang discovered that nearly four thousand people on his side had died. As for how much the Yan army had lost, they could not figure it out.
After all, there were no dead bodies of Yan soldiers under the city wall, and they didn't know whether there were dead bodies on the city wall. After all, those who rushed up the city wall were dead. Those who didn't rush up didn't know whether there were dead bodies on the city wall.
Li Suigang felt extremely aggrieved and annoyed. He was always successful in his battles with the remnants of the northern barbarians. He even beat the Jurchens so hard that they fled in panic.
