More than twenty tattooed Wu soldiers who were still setting up ladders to attack the city scrambled to start climbing the ladders to attack the city. More than a dozen big men held the ladder tightly at the bottom, and at the same time stretched out a hand, waved their swords, and let out war cries.
, and five or six warriors who were as agile as apes quickly climbed up the ladder, climbing up desperately amid the cheers and encouragements of their companions.
The tattooed man who was the first to lead held the big knife horizontally and held it in his mouth. There was almost no defense on the top of his head. He made indistinct sounds in his mouth. In a few clicks, he climbed halfway up the ladder. His movements were so fast that it was shocking.
Dizzying.
With a "Hudong" sound, a big stone was suddenly thrown down from the top of the city, hitting the big man in the first row. His impact was so fast that he didn't even have time to dodge. This time, his head was smashed open.
Alas, without the protection of a helmet, his brains exploded and he fell down the ladder upside down.
When his body fell to the ground, several companions around him were not even interested in seeing whether he was dead or alive. They threw his body back to prevent him from occupying the passage to continue climbing the ladder. The second, third
Three sergeants rushed forward.
Two or three figures poked out from the top of the city. They were several Yan Army sergeants. They were holding stones high in their hands. They seemed to be the big stones thrown by the catapults when the Jin army attacked the city before.
Stones weighing as much as a watermelon now became a deadly weapon for the city defenders. These men had ferocious faces and round eyes. They held up the stones and threw them down hard, chanting: "
Die, die."
Two or three rays of cold light flashed through, and the Yan Army sergeant who held the boulder high suddenly saw patches of blood on his throat. Several sharp daggers struck their throats fiercely. These flying knives struck.
, so steady and accurate that these Yan soldiers did not even have time to let out a scream, and even the men and stones fell to the bottom of the city.
Five or six tattooed Wu soldiers roared wildly, and rushed forward to face these fallen soldiers. The Yan army, which had already expired, slashed and chopped wildly. When blood and flesh were flying everywhere, there were two or three tattooed men. I didn't forget it.
He took off the helmets of these Yan soldiers. Although they were just leather helmets worn by ordinary sergeants, they also threw them up. The two big men who had climbed halfway up the ladder reached out to catch them. After all, with the first
A friend taught me a lesson. Even these dead soldiers knew that the more protection they had, the more hope they had of surviving. They might survive until the end of the war, and be pardoned and rewarded.
However, these sergeants continued to climb up with one hand while wearing their helmets, holding knives in their mouths. They did not even bother to connect the buckles at the bottom of these helmets, but just put them on their heads, perhaps just to prevent one or two small pieces.
The pounding of stones.
The first tattooed man had climbed to a height of about two feet, and the top of the high city wall was still less than a foot away. He became more and more excited as he climbed, and even began to roar a new round: "Xianbei, my son, grandpa
Come on!"
However, two long things, with two forked branches, emerged from the top of the city, directly pressing against the long poles on both sides of the ladder. Then, the ladder that had already climbed six or seven people,
He began to lean back. The dozen or so big men at the bottom tried their best to stabilize the ladder, but they still could not cope with the basic principles of physics. The ladder was inevitably pushed away from the city wall.
The sergeants on the ladder screamed and jumped to the side, falling to the ground from a height of one or two feet. Only the brother wearing a helmet at the top fell straight backwards, like a human bomb. He also knocked down the five sergeants at the bottom of the ladder together and fell into a pile. Dust was flying, accompanied by the sound of broken muscles and muffled groans. Then, the overturned ladder hit the fallen ladder hard. The six people were huddled together, making it difficult for them to move anymore.
Three hundred steps in front of the city wall, Shen Linzi frowned and looked at the offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city. From his angle, he could clearly see that there were dozens of Yan Army sergeants at the top of the city, six or seven of them standing on the ground. He was carrying a log that was more than ten feet long and as thick as his thigh. The top of the log was equipped with two forked halberd heads, similar to an enlarged version of a clothes pole. It was this thing that pushed the ladder down.
Shen Tianzi also came here at some point and gritted his teeth: "These stupid Yan troops came out of nowhere. We only have a ladder to go up the wall. They can just push it down. These A North Sea sergeant doesn’t know how to run fast, he’s just watching the show from behind.”
Shen Linzi shook his head: "We can't count too much on them. It's a pity that our hundreds of dead soldiers are using their lives to buy time for the follow-up troops to attack. Fourth brother, we still have to think of a way." yes."
Shen Tianzi stamped his feet bitterly and said bitterly: "Think of a way to find a way. It's the best way to do it yourself, but it's a pity that Brother A Shao won't let him. That boy Rongzu wants to make meritorious deeds, and we can't rob him. Fourth brother, you Say, is this fair?"
Shen Linzi frowned, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, retreat. I want to discuss tactics with Third Brother."
The nearest family soldiers, including the order soldiers, all retreated twenty steps away. The deafening sound of killing made it impossible to hear the conversation between the two from this distance. Shen Linzi sighed: "Third brother, even in front of the family soldiers, you must be careful. As for the words, if these words reach the ears of the commander, it will not be a good thing for us."
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth: "I hope the commander-in-chief hears it. I have no objection to Rong Zu's charge, but the fight has gone like this. The Beihai Navy is almost rushing to the city wall, but where is he? Could it be that, Do we really want to let these Beihai navy get the advantage of being the first to get there?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of drums and horns. More than thirty ladders from the Northern Navy were also put up on the city wall. Together with the first ladder for the Wu soldiers who were pushed down, they were also used for the tattooed Wu soldiers below the city. The soldiers carried it up again and put up the city wall. About thirty steps outside the city, the archers of the Northern Navy began to bend their bows and set arrows, and fired towards the top of the city. Dark rain of arrows flew with the wind. Go up to the city head.
The Yan army sergeants who were holding push rods and hitting the ladder would occasionally fall to the ground after being struck by arrows. Gradually, archers began to appear on the top of the city. In the crossbow holes on the city wall, there were even more crossbow arrows, almost With each round of firing, more than ten soldiers from the siege side fell. Inside and outside the city, both the attacking and defending sides screamed loudly, and hundreds of war drums roared, making the earth tremble. Even The two Shen brothers, two or three steps apart, had to shout at the top of their lungs if they wanted to make each other hear what they said.
