Chapter 1,327: Flying stones attack the city and retreat
Liu Yu spun around and gave the man a heartbreaking kick with his right foot, hitting the man's heart hard. With the force of this kick, his body of nearly 200 kilograms changed direction and flew towards the city, while his sternum
The sound of breaking and shattering the heart armor could be clearly heard in the air.
Liu Yu wiped the blood on his face, but Tan Pingzhi's urgent voice came to his ears: "Ji Nu, the enemy's catapults are about to be launched in large numbers, retreat quickly!"
Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and looked outside the city. The dense siege formation of the Xiyan Army under the city had already surged forward. Behind the Xuanhu Army were three thousand heavy armored infantry with helmets and shields and ladders.
A little behind their queue, there were more than a hundred trebuchets that had moved less than two miles away from the city wall. The sergeants operating the trebuchets were busy hurling piles of stones from the baggage cart behind them.
The blocks were unloaded and stacked towards the nest. At the same time, other operators were adjusting the angle of the lever arms and the tension of the tendons to determine the new range. In just a minute or two, these hundred
The trebuchets will be launched collectively again.
Liu Yu frowned and swung his knife. The head that had just popped out from the crenel in front of him flew up from his neck. With another kick, the headless corpse behind him fell heavily. Several muffled groans came from under the city wall.
It was obviously the person who was knocked down by this corpse.
Liu Yu turned to the Beifu sergeants who were fighting more and more Xuanwu troops on the city and shouted loudly: "Rabbit, it's dangerous, jump from the city!"
The two brothers Wei Yongzhi and Wei Shunzhi were standing back to back, protected by three personal bodyguard brothers, like wheels, fighting in turns with more than 30 enemy troops. The space at the top of the city was small, which did not allow them to be defeated by the enemy.
The army surrounded them. Every time an enemy army came forward, within a few rounds, the Wei brothers, who had experienced many battles, would be killed on the spot. Around them, more than forty enemy corpses with incomplete limbs and blood had been piled up.
The cross current had already reached the surface of their military boots, and even the sharp ax in Wei Yongzhi's hand was curled by the cuts.
After Wei Yongzhi heard this, he pointed at the entrance and let out three sharp and shrill whistles, two long and one short. The more than 20 subordinates who were still alive at the top of the city abandoned the enemy troops fighting in front of them and waved their swords in a feint.
With an axe, he forced away the opponent in front of him, turned around and jumped towards the base of the inner city wall. Nearly thirty figures suddenly became aerial trapezes all over the sky.
Under the corner of the city wall, Liu Zhong had already led more than a hundred people, holding thick cotton quilts in his hands. When he saw someone falling behind, he rushed up and spread out these thick quilts, which were about two feet high.
It is not fatal. Even these Beifu sergeants wearing heavy armor are safe and sound when caught by quilts. They can jump up with just one push.
Liu Yu did not jump off the city wall with others. Tan Pingzhi and Meng Longfu were beside him. Black blood clots had condensed in the blood groove on the weapons in their hands. Meng Longfu's fine steel weapon
The halberd was chopped out of shape, and the small branches on the side of the halberd had been severely deformed. Liu Yu pulled the belts of the two men, turned around and ran into the tower behind him, and followed the three people into the tower.
, the door closed on its own, and more than ten Xuanhu sergeants who wanted to chase in, just approached the door, the switch of the three repeating crossbows hanging on the door was touched, and a burst of crossbow arrows as dense as locusts flew past, five
The guy who rushed in front was shot like a hedgehog and was killed standing there. The others were so frightened that they scattered on both sides, no one dared to step forward easily again.
Sun Xing held up the big flag and jumped onto the city wall. The fierce battle had reached this point. As the commander-in-chief, he also raised the flag to attack the city regardless of his own safety. He happened to see the scene of Liu Yu entering the city tower. He said sternly: "Liu Yu hides in
The tower has been destroyed, set fire to them and burn them to death!"
Dozens of sergeants around them, as if they had just woken up from a dream, took out fire-kindling things from their bodies. Some people even brought the brazier directly at the top of the city, or fire arrows, or torches, in short, anything that could ignite.
They were all thrown into the tower. Soon, the wooden tower was engulfed in thick smoke and fire. The more than 300 Xuanhu sergeants on the top of the city shouted in unison.
There was a burst of cheers, and several military flags of "Xiyan" and Xuanhu Army were raised at the top of the city.
Inside the tower, a wall flipped up and down, and Liu Yu and the other three fell down together. Less than three feet away, inside a wall, Liu Muzhi was looking at them with a smile, and Kuai En and Xiang Jing were also there.
Here, Xiang Jing laughed: "Brother Jinu, I didn't expect you to turn in from the enemy's formation."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "On the battlefield, if you know how to advance or retreat, you will only rush headlong. That is not a hero, but stupidity. The enemy is using these dead soldiers as bait to expose our city defense. Now, these are cheering
The guys are about to feel betrayed and betrayed."
He turned to Liu Muzhi and smiled and said: "It's true that you can design such secret rooms and mechanisms here in a few days. If I give you more time, you may be able to make the city wall full of these mechanisms.
The enemy troops can't even get close to the city wall, so I don't have to waste time."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "These mechanisms and secret passages already exist, I just slightly improved them according to the city defense drawings, that is, the three consecutive crossbows. Even if you don't have these, you three can just enter the building
Climb into the wall."
While he was talking, there were bursts of sound piercing the air outside. The air seemed to be torn apart, and the city wall was shaking violently. Even if there was no small hole in the wall for external observation, one could know that this must be Yan.
The soldiers were throwing a large number of stones, and the sounds above their heads, in addition to the sound of the burning towers on fire, were also the constant bombardment of boulders, the screams and curses when human bodies were hit, and even Sun Xing's roar
They all heard clearly: "Asshole, are you blind? The top of the city belongs to us..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a dull sound of stones hitting someone, and Sun Xing's voice could no longer be heard.
Tan Daoji was still frightened and said: "I didn't expect Murong Yong to be so vicious. Even these warriors who finally attacked the city gave up without hesitation. If we hadn't evacuated earlier, I'm afraid we would have been stoned right now."
.”
Meng Longfu sighed: "Brother Jinu is right, the most dangerous time is when fighting is red. But now that our army has abandoned the city, what should we do next?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and turned to look into the city through the small hole on the other side: "I'm afraid that the spies in the city should also start to launch their attacks at this time. After getting rid of the traitors, our army can go out of the city to fight back.
Take this opportunity to change your weapon, I will kill you soon!"
