Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator
Chapter 886: First to Climb the City
In this vast white land, Chunyu Cheng really felt like a dark cloud was pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
The Han army advanced step by step and surrounded the entire Chunyu City on three sides again. From a distance, they looked like thick black clouds.
Watching Li Ji sitting on the chariot from afar, Yu Jin felt pressured. He kept urging the defenders to prepare to defend the city while constantly scanning the Han army outside the city.
What made Yu Jin feel a little nervous was that due to the freezing weather, most of the soldiers defending the city were shivering as soon as they appeared on the city wall.
Moreover, many of the defense equipment stored on the city walls were buried after a night of snowfall, and some were even frozen to the point of sticking together.
Some bowstrings break as soon as they are pulled.
However, there is some good news for Jin.
Although Yu Jin still understood why the Han army was not afraid of the cold, it was completely different from the soldiers defending the city who were shivering in the cold wind early in the morning.
However, the Han army, which was advancing step by step, had difficulty pushing many large siege equipment because of the snow on the ground that was half a calf's thickness.
Yu Jin also quickly thought about what changes would occur in the offensive and defensive situation of both sides under the influence of the current climate, and how to respond.
The sudden drop in temperature may not be considered extremely cold, but it is cold enough to freeze water.
Under such circumstances, many city defense and siege weapons were difficult to use, and even bowstrings were extremely easy to break.
"It may turn into the most brutal close combat..."
Yu Jin's expression became serious. He quickly went to the military camp in the city to order more defenders to come to the rescue. He also ordered people to set up more braziers on the city wall as soon as possible to keep warm.
Yu Jin was still unclear about how the Han army kept warm.
But Yu Jin knew clearly that his soldiers were lightly dressed, and if he did not quickly build a brazier to keep warm, a large number of them would be frostbitten in less than half an hour.
Just as Yu Jin was hastily making a series of arrangements, Li Ji on the chariot outside the city raised his hand, the war drums beat, and the Han army that surrounded the three city walls moved accordingly.
Because there was a lot of snow on the ground, the siege equipment brought by the Han army were mostly ladders, and they were ready to force their way into Chunyu City.
Seeing the Han army approaching, Yu Jin quickly ordered the soldiers guarding the city to try to shoot arrows.
However, many bowstrings either could not be pulled apart or broke on the spot, leaving only a few scattered arrows shot weakly out of the city.
This made Yu Jin completely give up the idea of using bows and arrows, and he hurriedly ordered preparations to stop the Han army from climbing the wall with ladders.
At this moment, Yu Jin glanced down at the city wall and his pupils shrank slightly.
When did a small snowy mountain that was half the height of the city wall appear below the city? !
This sudden discovery startled Yu Jin, and then he reacted suddenly.
That location was exactly the position of the city wall that the Han army had been bombarding with catapults for the past ten days.
Before this, Yu Jin subconsciously thought that the Han army was preparing to use catapults to destroy a corner of the city wall, and secretly laughed at the Han army for their wild ideas and underestimation of the solidity of Chunyu City.
Yu Jin didn’t care at all about the rubble that was piling up under the city wall.
The reason is that, except for the previous ten days or so, the Han army had not launched any large-scale sieges on the city.
In addition, the gradually formed gravel hill was difficult to climb and there was no cover. If the Han army really wanted to attack the city from there, they would only become sitting ducks for the surrounding arrows.
But at this moment, a heavy snow fell, and the gravel mountain that was originally difficult to climb was covered with a thick layer of snow... Under Yu Jin's gaze, who felt cold all over, a large number of elite Han troops rushed to the small snow mountain under the city wall.
In addition to the rapid construction of ladders, there were even a large number of grappling hooks thrown onto the city walls, which, with the help of the height of the Small Snow Mountain, were quickly connected to the city walls. A large number of Han troops climbed up rapidly and densely.
The small snow mountain is rapidly leveling the advantage of the city wall's height.
"Quick! Quick! Don't let the enemy rush over!"
When Yu Jin realized the problem, he quickly led his personal guards to provide support.
However, by the time Da Jin arrived at this section of the city wall, which was originally manned by only a few people, dozens of Han soldiers had already gained a foothold on the wall and occupied a corner, and a steady stream of Han soldiers were rapidly climbing up from the rear.
The first ones to climb were Gan Ning, who was the best climber, and his Jinfan thieves.
Seeing Gan Ning holding a chain in one hand and a broadsword in the other, killing the defenders and advancing rapidly, Yu Jin led his personal guards to meet him without hesitation, drawing his sword and shouting.
"Don't be so arrogant, Yu Jin is here, die!"
Gan Ning, who was already extremely excited because of his achievement of being the first to reach the summit, was even more ecstatic when he heard Yu Jin's shout!
Yu Jin, this is a villain who humiliated the Prime Minister.
"Good, good, good, double happiness, today is the day to conquer the city and slay the generals!"
Gan Ning immediately left the rest of Cao's army and went towards Yu Jin without hesitation.
At this moment, Yu Jin was both anxious and frightened, realizing that there was no way out if he wanted to defend Chunyu City.
The Han army climbed the city too quickly.
The only way to turn the tide was to suppress the evil general, wait for the support of the defenders who were rushing in from the city, and then drive the Han army down the city wall again.
However, deep in Yu Jin's heart, there was a sense of despair that he dared not admit.
Previously, the Han army had continuously bombarded the city wall with catapults, and not only this section, but also the other two sides of the city wall, which also had locations that received special attention.
Even if he could lead his personal guards to barely drive back this section of the Han army, as for the other two city walls... who could turn the tide?
Yu Jin didn't dare to think about it too much, nor did he want to think about it too much. He clashed with Gan Ning with a fighting style that was willing to risk his life.
However, Yu Jin has never been known for his bravery. Compared with Gan Ning, a fierce general who is extremely good at water battles and infantry combat, even if he is willing to fight with his life, he will still be dwarfed within ten rounds.
Just when Yu Jin was feeling exhausted, Gan Ning swung the iron chain in his hand and rolled it towards the flaw in Yu Jin's swordsmanship, knocking Yu Jin to the ground. He spit out blood and was no longer able to get up.
Gan Ning was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly led the Jinfan bandits to kill Yu Jin's personal guards who wanted to come forward to rescue him, and then took a rope and tied up the captive Yu Jin on the spot.
"Clap!"
Gan Ning did not forget to slap Yu Jin's stinky mouth twice and said, "Let me see if you are still stubborn."
"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Today's defeat is not due to the failure of the battle, but the heavy snow helped you." Yu Jin retorted unwillingly.
Gan Ning grinned and laughed. "Oh, this heavy snow was expected by the Prime Minister. Otherwise, do you think the Prime Minister has the leisure to play attack and defense games with a young general like you for more than ten days?"
When Yu Jin heard this, he felt as if struck by lightning, and the last bit of pride he had left disappeared. (End of this chapter)
