There was no ramming hammer, and they only brought bows, arrows, swords and other weapons, which meant that the vanguard sent by Ouyang Lixing was unable to have any idea about the city gate.

However, the ram could not be delivered remotely through the siege catapult, so for a while, they could only use ladders to forcefully fight against the defenders at the top of the city.

However, the result of the current battle is that he almost needs four to five soldiers to kill one of the opponent's soldiers. This battle loss ratio is not terrible.

But Ouyang Lixing also knew that if he wanted to take Juhe City by force, this sacrifice was necessary. No matter how much he planned, Zheng Yuanyun had made up his mind to hold on to Juhe City, so he could only use human lives to fill it and consume it.

.

This is also one of the reasons why Ouyang Lixing was very opposed to the forced attack on Juhe City.

After all, up until now, Chen Ze had only talked about it, but he actually needed to fight with the lives of soldiers.

Ouyang Lixing was not a cold-blooded person like Zheng Yuanyun who would do whatever it took to win. He still valued the lives of his soldiers very seriously.

If it is not necessary, he would prefer to achieve victory through his own planning rather than using human lives to fill the gap.

To be honest, if time was not tight, and Ouyang Lixing still had the idea of ​​using Zheng Yuanyun to contain Chen Ze, if he wanted to capture Ihe City without any bloodshed, there would be no way out.

For him, it seems that this kind of victory that is simply piled up with human life is not a pleasure for him, but it is filled with deep guilt.

But what can he do?

It is said that the situation is stronger than the people. No matter whether the information brought by Chen Ze is true or false, Ouyang Lixing can only deal with it with the worst plan.

And in the worst case scenario, Iai Castle became a hard bone stuck in his throat. No matter what, he had to swallow it forcefully even if he tried to break his throat.

"Is it ready over there?"

Sighing in his heart, Ouyang Lixing turned to the deputy general and asked.

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, I just received the news that the brothers have been deployed!"

The deputy general had just returned to Ouyang Lixing, but when he saw the commander-in-chief's eyes were deep and he was obviously thinking about something, he didn't dare to disturb him for a while. When he heard his question, he immediately replied.

"Very good, now that guy has no time to care, let's start it!"

Ouyang Lixing waved his hand, and the deputy general immediately responded to the order and retreated to prepare.

Not long after, in the Chinese army formation led by Ouyang Li, a phoenix-shaped flaming arrow exploded in the sky.

The Qingyang Empire has a unique method of sending messages with the sounding arrow, while the Zhu Yan Empire also has a phoenix mark as a secret signal. This flame explodes in the sky, making it clearly visible to almost everyone within a radius of a hundred miles.

"The Commander-in-Chief has an order, it's our turn!"

Just as the Phoenix Arrow took off, a troop hiding in the dark that had been looking up at the sky and waiting suddenly took action.

This force was a small team that Ouyang Lixing had originally sent out to attack the city gates on the left and right sides, but when it became hopeless, he was sent out again.

There are only 100,000 people in this army, and the direction they are responsible for is the last gate of Ihe City. For Ouyang Lixing and the others, it is the rear gate!

If there is no terrain to support it, most cities will have four gates. As a material transfer station, Iihe City needs geographical conditions to be accessible in all directions. Therefore, this city is not like Tianyuan City, which only has three gates.

Among Zheng Yuanyun's troops, the most ace was the heavy cavalry unit with the same number of 100,000 people, but this unit could not play a big role in defending the city.

It was impossible for Zheng Yuanyun to give up this advantageous unit of his own and chose to let the heavy cavalry give up their horses and then take off their armor to become an ordinary city defender.

Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun arranged the heavy cavalry troops at the rear city gate, intending to attack instead of defend. If an enemy attacked from the rear city gate, his instructions were to respond directly with a charge without hesitation.

In fact, this arrangement worked extremely well in the last siege. Although Ouyang Lixing had no fighting spirit and was using guerrilla tactics, he still couldn't avoid being hit by the heavy cavalry who had increased their charge speed.

Charge and kill and lose troops and generals.

This was also the only city gate where Ouyang Lixing caused casualties.

At this moment, Ouyang Lixing set his sights on this heavily armored cavalry.

After receiving the instructions, the troops that had been rushed to pieces by the heavy cavalry gathered together again, and unexpectedly rushed out of the hiding place on their own, and even beat the war drums like the other three city gates.

For a moment, the ground shook and the mountains shook. The troops of 100,000 were outnumbered by the force of 500,000, and they rushed towards the rear city gate in a mighty manner.

The leading general is called Chen Shen. He has been with Ouyang Lixing for hundreds of battles, large and small. He is rich in experience. After the last test, he knew very well that the only defender at the rear city gate was the heavy army.

Mount cavalry.

Zheng Yuanyun, who was severely under-strength, could not take care of the four gates at the same time, so here, there was not even a trebuchet unit. He could rush further forward without fear of being attacked by catapult fire.

"Come on, brothers, it depends on whether you can make a contribution today!"

Chen Shen charged at the highest position. He held his body high on his horse and pointed the spear in his hand at the rear city gate that was not closed. The tip of the spear kept trembling, as if he was provoking the heavy cavalry who had already formed a formation outside the city gate.

Formation!

"These guys, have their scars healed and forgotten the pain?"

The commander of the heavy cavalry was named Xu Tianci. He stared at the suddenly charging enemy troops with cold eyes, and his stern expression was filled with contempt and disdain.

He also had a lot of combat experience, but after just a glance, he discovered that although the opponent also had cavalry, they were not at the same level as the heavy cavalry he led. They were just light cavalry.

To use light cavalry to attack the city is to bully the rear city gate, which is not equipped with defensive equipment. But, is that enough?

Between them and the city gate, there is a steel city wall composed of one hundred thousand brothers!

Although the light cavalry was more flexible, he did not believe that it could fight against the heavy cavalry in a frontal charge and kill Xu Tianci.

"What do you think?"

Xu Tianci sneered, pointed his spear sharply, and shouted: "Brothers, since they are here to die, then we will help them!"

Of course, this is just a way of boosting morale. Xu Tianci knew very well that if the heavy cavalry wanted to exert its super combat power, it would need a certain distance to increase its speed.

The opponent was pressing forward very quickly. If they squeezed out the space for charging, the opponent would be able to engage in hand-to-hand combat before the heavy cavalry even started to run.
