The ones running at the front were the strong farmers. Of course, they did not need to fight with others. They just rushed the wooden planks to the moat at the fastest speed and jumped into the moat. They built the wooden planks on the moat the fastest speed and created dozens of wooden bridges.
Then, the strong farmers who acted as ladder drivers rushed to the city wall at the fastest speed and set up the ladder on the city wall. Dozens of eight-meter-tall scaling ladders were placed on the city wall. There were two iron hooks at the end of the scaling ladders, which were firmly stuck on the city wall.
At the same time, there were two large awls at the end of the ladder that was placed on the ground. They were used to block the ladder and prevent it from being pushed down by the defenders on the city wall.
Of course, without the iron hooks and iron awls, the vanguard of the city, with the weight of five or six people, would not be pushed down so easily. However, with these two things, it would be foolproof.
Morale was very important in a battle with cold weapons, especially in a siege, but the details could not be ignored.
All kinds of perfect siege weapons could reduce unnecessary casualties and buy time.
Time was especially important to the attackers!
Most of the time, a second of delay would result in the failure of a siege.
In this attack, the Liu Clan Island Army did not split the main attack and auxiliary attack. The four walls were the main attack direction. Their goal was naturally to make the Weihai Army, which was already lacking in manpower, unable to save them in time.
When it came to sieging a city, the swordsmen and shieldbearers had all been trained and were all experts at climbing ladders.
Each of them raised their shields high above their heads and climbed up the ladder crazily with one hand.
The archers at the back were not afraid of death at all. They continued to suppress the city wall with their firepower until they were 50 meters away from the city wall.
This distance was the best shooting distance for the bow and arrow. Whether it was lethality or accuracy, it was the best.
Any guards who dared to show themselves would be shot down by them!
Of course, this was only a suppression, it could not stop the counterattack of the defenders.
Immediately, the burning red oil on the city wall poured down on the scaling ladder, scalding the swordsmen who were climbing the scaling ladder. Many of the farmers who were holding the scaling ladder were scalded by the oil, and their screams were endless.
In an instant, the Liu Clan Island Army's casualties increased greatly.
However, these methods alone were not enough to stop the sword-shield soldiers who were not afraid of death.
The sword-shield soldiers who followed behind continued to climb the ladder. They carried the huge force of being scalded by the rolling oil and smashed by the stones from high above as they climbed the ladder at the fastest speed and climbed up the city wall.
Starting from the scaling of the ladder, the siege entered a white-hot stage.
Lin Feng, who was watching the battle from afar, felt his heart skip a beat. After witnessing the siege, he realized how difficult it was.
It could be said that every step forward was paved with corpses and blood.
There were soldiers dying all the time, and the number of injured was uncountable.
The stalemate lasted for a few minutes as they climbed the ladder and the wall. There were hundreds of casualties.
Finally, with the lack of manpower and rolling stones, the defense began to decline. Finally, some sword-shield soldiers seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and climbed up the city wall at the fastest speed!
"He's going up!"
At this moment, everyone around Lin Feng in the frontline command post cheered. All of them were excited, and their eyes were fixed on the battle on the city wall.
"You must stand firm!"
"As long as we build a defensive position on the city wall, gain a firm foothold, expand the space, and have a certain number of troops, we can drive them off the city wall and take the city wall!”
They began to pray from the bottom of their hearts.
As the first sword-shield soldier climbed up the wall, the battle officially entered the stage of the flesh mill!
The sword-shield soldiers were also made of flesh and blood, not impenetrable iron men. Although they wore steel armor and helmets, they could not cover their entire body.
In a place like the city wall, there were enemies everywhere. It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands!
The only thing he could do was stall for time so that more of his comrades could climb up the city wall.
He was extremely ferocious. He held a shield in one hand and a saber in the other as he pounced on the enemies on the city wall. He displayed his divine might and slashed down four to five people in a row, scaring the Weihai Guards on the city wall and forcing them to retreat.
However, in the end, the spear that came from behind pierced through his thigh, causing him to lose his balance. His fierce aura was greatly reduced, and more Weihai Guards rushed up and stabbed him to the ground, sacrificing himself.
His death was tragic, but also heroic. Because of his sacrifice, more sword-shield soldiers climbed up the city wall. The sword-shield soldiers who came up from behind began to charge at the enemy with all their might. They did not care about anything else, just to expand the space on the city wall and accommodate more comrades.
This was how climbing the wall worked. If there was one, there would be dozens, hundreds.
Every time a sword-shield soldier mounted the city wall, it would cause a chain reaction, making the situation of the city defenders more dangerous and difficult.
"Hold on, hold on!"
The Weihai Wei commander watched as the sword shield soldiers of the Liu Clan Island Army climbed up the city wall and charged forward in a suicidal manner, expanding the battlefield. He was completely panicking!
Although he was ignorant and did not know much about fighting, he knew that once the attackers had a firm foothold on the city walls, the city would not be far from being breached.
At this moment, the most important thing was to counterattack and drive the enemy down the city wall!
"Milord, our brothers can't hold on any longer!!!”
However, what made the Weihai Guard commander despair was that his personal soldiers were frightened by the fearless and high-spirited charge of the Liujia Island Army. They all retreated and avoided the attack.
It was almost irreversible, giving up precious space on the city wall.
The Liu Clan Island Army stood firmly on the four walls and began to defend with all their might until reinforcements arrived.
The last chance for the defenders was to counterattack with all their might and compress the battlefield.
However, because of their low morale and lack of fighting will, and because they were frightened by the fearless attitude of the Liu Clan Island Army, they did not dare to approach, let alone counterattack.
In less than three minutes, the follow-up troops came up. On the four walls, the Liu Clan Island Army began to counterattack crazily.
With the sword-shield soldiers blocking at the front and the spear-wielding soldiers at the back frantically stabbing their spears, their lethality exploded under the coordination of each other.
It was almost crowded on the tightly packed city walls.
Facing the spear's sudden thrust, it was simply impossible to defend against it.
Not to mention, how many people in Weihai Wei were wearing armor?!
Moreover, even if they were wearing armor, it was only armor. The quality was too poor, and they could not withstand the spear's piercing.
The Weihai Army was caught off guard by the ferocious attacks. They expressed that they could not hold on and began to retreat crazily. In the end, the four walls were completely defeated!
"The overall situation has been decided.”
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng revealed a smile on his face.
Liu Clan Island's Thousand Households Institute had achieved victory in the first battle. Not only had the combat strength they displayed reached his expectations, but it had also far exceeded them!
If he could even defeat the most difficult siege with such ferocity, then it would not be a problem for him to fight outside the city!
In fact, the Liu Clan Island Thousand Households Institute was set up and trained according to the field army.
