Trampling on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood stacked beneath the city, the second round of Xiliang troops finally reached the top of the city.
The Roman team defending the city had given up on defending the battlements and pushed a certain distance apart to form sporadic formations.
Formation, not giving in an inch, fighting to the death.
This time, they first let Yuan Rong's crossbows shoot at the enemy soldiers who were outcropping.
Usually, under such circumstances, the enemy soldiers who had just climbed onto the city wall would most likely be hit by arrows and fall down howling miserably.
The remaining enemy troops that were not taken into consideration were stabbed and killed by spears when their footing was unstable.
If they had strong force and quick reactions, they would be hacked and killed by Roman soldiers who rushed out.
And those Roman soldiers who broke into the battle were not reluctant to fight at all.
After they had made gains, they quickly retreated into their own formations.
In this way, although the enemy troops are coming in force, they seem to be deliberately seeking death.
The enemy soldiers behind him saw Xian Deng die tragically one by one, but they didn't know why.
And when they knew the reason, they could no longer talk about it.
Although the Roman team's method was not very strange and sharp, it was this very effective defensive formation that made a large number of enemies gradually become hesitant and timid.
In this siege, although the Xiliang army had a numerical advantage, the Roman army had a more reasonable battle formation.
For a time, the entire city almost turned into a sea of corpses, letting blood stain the entire Tongguan.
Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and the other thieves, who were standing aside in a daze, were both in disbelief and couldn't help but marvel.
"Damn it, why didn't we think of this method before?"
Zhou Cang stared blankly for a long time before saying in frustration: "If we had thought of this method earlier, how many brothers would have survived?"
"Boss, don't blame yourself.
Although this formation seems simple, it requires soldiers to have a high degree of discipline and tacit understanding.
If nothing else, let's just say that those soldiers holding short swords can kill the enemy without stopping.
Greedy for merit, quickly retreated to this point in our formation.
None of his subordinates can do that.
Not to mention the fearlessness of the crossbowmen and the all-round protection of the shield soldiers."
After observing for a long time, Liao Hua finally saw this.
Extremely high requirements for simple formations.
He patted Zhou Cang on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"That's right.
That Us asked us to leave earlier, and I was still a little angry.
It seems like this.
If we rush forward, not only will we not be able to help, but we will also mess up their formation."
Zhou Cang is not a fool either. , after Liao Hua said it, he immediately understood the brilliance of this battle formation: "From this, it seems that the military advisor has really anticipated everything."
Liao Hua nodded.
Then, the frown on his forehead became tighter and tighter: because after this period of fighting, enemy corpses had piled up on the battlements, and Publius's crossbowmen could no longer clearly aim at the target.
Lost the distance advantage.
What's more serious is that because there were too many corpses, the brave and capable Xiliang army stepped on the corpses and attacked the Roman battle formation, which put more and more pressure on Publius. finally.
When a crossbowman faced three enemies who attacked at the same time, he shot down a Xiliang soldier, and then that one was stabbed to death by the following spearmen.
There was also a Xiliang soldier who directly passed through the two sword and shield men and rushed into the Roman battle formation.
Publius immediately stepped forward and killed the Xiliang soldier himself.
But there is no denying that the Roman battle formation has begun to suffer casualties.
After all, it is expected that situations like this will occur frequently in the future.
"What should we do?
Are we just watching here?"
Zhou Cang was angry, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Among this kind of anger, there is not only the anger of not being able to kill the enemy personally, but also the anger of being insulted by the Roman legions.

"I think we will bring up the things we prepared before."
Liao Hua frowned and said with a final look of determination in his eyes.
"You mean those things used in robberies before?"
Zhou Cang also realized.
He naturally knew what Liao Hua was talking about.
However, will those things be useful if they are brought here?
Liao Hua didn't say anything and just ordered a dozen people to get those things.
At this time, the fierce hand-to-hand fighting finally began.
From the top of the city to the end of the city, countless sharp weapons were slashing and killing each other.
Both sides in the fierce battle were gnashing their teeth, bleeding, and there were swords and swords everywhere.
The two sides stepped on the bodies of the injured and dead and continued to fight, with screams continuing.
In this battle formation, the Roman legions were still the most effective deterrent to killing.
They used the cooperation of swords, shields, and Chang Qiang to organize a small battle formation of three or five people, although the enemy was coming fiercely.
But they found that the enemies in front of them were always three or five.
No matter how they charged together or how they tried to surround and attack them, they were always faced with a combination of swords, shields, and spears.
The iron steel knives and spears equipped by the Roman team were very powerful.
Their knives could easily cut off the Xiliang army's long sword and split the Xiliang army's armor.
They used teams of three or five to defend the entire defense area, preventing the Xiliang army from advancing.
This siege lasted from morning until now when the sun is starting to fade.
For several hours, the Roman battle group did not drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food.
They just persisted and fought.
They were like angry rocks standing on the seaside, standing alone on the shore with a lonely posture.
The edges stood up with hard edges, breaking the waves that hit the beach with great force into flying sprays again and again.
"Liao Hua, do you think this is okay?"
Zhou Cang asked hesitantly when he saw that his men had indeed obtained those things.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Liao Hua was also a little anxious, because he found that the enemy's offensive this time was definitely different from any of the previous three days: this time, it seemed that they planned to capture Qin Pass with all their troops.
"It's now."
Seeing that there was finally a gap in the battle between the Xiliang Army and the Roman Legion, Liao Hua waved.
He immediately threw those things into the middle of the Roman legion and the Xiliang army.
Publius took a closer look and found that those things had four protruding iron thorns, several inches long.
Whenever they hit the ground, one of the thorns would always point upward.
At first Publius didn't know what it was, but later he understood the beauty of it.
I saw those Xiliang soldiers coming over from the crowd again.
As soon as they landed, the unlucky guy was immediately stabbed in the foot.
He jumped three feet high.
Before the shouts could be heard, he was struck by a crossbow with sharp eyes and quick hands.
He shot him to death with an arrow from his hand, and rolled down the city together with the enemy troops behind him who were still trying to attack.
Of course, caltrops do not distinguish between friend and foe.
Some Roman soldiers who killed the enemy were accidentally pricked in the foot by caltrops.
But then Publius understood Liao Hua's intention and immediately shouted loudly: "Give up killing with sword and shield, keep a distance from the enemy, and prepare to start throwing javelins."
At the command, the sword and shield players gave up their daggers and shields and retreated behind the spear formation.
Start throwing javelins.
In this way, with the dual long-range advantages of Yuan Rong's crossbow and javelin, and because the enemy troops later did not know about the secret move of the iron caltrop, the enemy troops that followed were hit one after another, howling with pain in the soles of their feet.
Either die in the crowd, or fall under the city.

The Xiliang Army's offensive finally slowed down a lot.
After finally hearing the enemy's clanging of gold, Publius walked up to Liao Hua and Zhou Cang and said: "You Han people are so cunning.
However, I like you."
Liao Hua and Zhou Cang were stunned, not understanding what Publius meant by liking him.
They looked at each other and ran away quickly: "Brothers, help throw these enemy corpses down the city."
And Publius shook his head regretfully: I originally wanted to hug them both. s: The Battle of Qinguan took too long to write.
I will finish it in one breath tomorrow.
It may be an update of five chapters.
I hope friends who are capable can support me.
Thank you very much.
See you tomorrow:
