Chapter 201 How about a test?

People on the Tushan Mountain shouted and the horse was neighing, and the catapult was repeatedly running. Countless heavy stones of hundreds of kilograms roared and hit the city, and all the landing points were concentrated in the southern section of the Mayi city wall. Just when it collapsed, the Turkic army could enter the city in one fell swoop.

However, after an hour of continuous bombardment, although the Mayi city wall was smashed into a pit by a catapult, it still remained towering.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Mayi has been located outside Yanmen Pass and has always been the most important stronghold for agricultural civilization to resist the invasion of nomadic peoples.

Whether it is Gao Manzheng now, Wang Rengong, Liu Wuzhou, Yuan Junzhang and others in the past, every Mayi guard regarded city defense as the top priority. In addition to constantly strengthening and improving the city, thousands of civil craftsmen also gathered in the city, making the strength of the Mayi city wall and the repair ability of the defenders far exceed Gao Kaidao's expectations.

Of course, Gaoxingdao, which has broken through many strong cities, is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

When the soldiers and civilians guarding the city were covered with the city, Gao Kaidao immediately ordered the catapult to shoot the bulk stone. The leather bag of the catapult suddenly bounced up, and the fine stones covered the sky and hit the inside and outside the city wall, and the cry of pain suddenly sounded.

Most of the casualties were civilians without armor and shields. As the sounds on the top of the city gradually decreased, the sounds of horns from all sides outside Mayi City sounded one after another, and the day's siege battle finally began in full swing.

Gao Kaidao invested 60,000 people to attack the southern wall of Mayi at one time, almost reaching the maximum force that can be spread out in the area. Gao Manzheng also quickly mobilized half of the troops in the city for targeted defense.

Amid the thunder-like shouts of killing, soldiers surrounded by hundreds of huge siege equipment, rushing towards the city wall like a craze.

At the same time, drums were heard loudly on Mayi City Tower, and the defenders began to attack the enemy.

The soldiers of the nomadic tribes were riding and shooting, but if they were nn city, the ten thousand Yan troops in Gao Kaidao were the biggest threat to the Mayi defenders.

Among the piles of holes, more than 3,000 archers pulled the bowstring strings of a stone step bow. With Gao Manzheng's order, they shot out three-edged goose feather arrows, using their range advantage to suppress the Yan army's infantry archers in the enemy formation.

The clusters of these feathered arrows have a foul smell, which is obviously dipped in filthy objects. If the arrows are not drawn and treated in time, they will soon be infected with bacteria. In ancient times, there were no antibacterial drugs. Once the wounded is infected, they will be lying in ill for more than a month, and will die for several days.

In fact, the range of the zhemu bow used by the Yan army infringers of Gaokaidao was not bad, but the shooting distance increased by the defenders from being condescending was not even one or a little longer than theirs. Gaokaidao did not pile the earth mountain closer, mainly to avoid the catapult being covered by fire arrows.

But the shortcomings of the defenders were also very obvious. All powerful city defense equipment such as bed crossbows and stone throwing cars were reimbursed in past offensive and defensive battles. Therefore, Gao Kaidao sent orders to allow Yan army infantry archers to line up in front of the offensive team under the cover of shield soldiers to shorten the gap in range.

Seeing this situation, Gao Manzheng immediately ordered all defenders to use triangular cone-shaped armor-breaking arrows. The shaft of this arrow is as thick as an index finger. The sharp and heavy arrowheads have very strong penetration ability. They are often used to kill the enemy in medium and long distances.

From time to time, some people were caught in arrows and fell to the ground. Later generations stepped on wounded soldiers and corpses, constantly raising their bows to fight back. Under the rain of arrows woven on the city and under the city, hundreds of three-meter-high ladders were mounted on the top of the city as the winch turned.

The top of the long ladder of this large siege equipment has barbs and iron claws. Once hooked into the wall, the manpower could not push it away at all. The lieutenant supervising the battle immediately ordered the civilians to form a group, one holding a wooden board to defend the feather arrow, and the other using an axe to cut the part of the wooden pole connecting the iron claws, but the wooden pole was thicker than the human thigh, and many people had been killed before they could cut it off.

The focus of the siege battle is fighting will and determination to fight to the death. The victory or defeat is usually only in seconds. The Yan Jun swords and shields who rushed to the front are holding long swords, climbing up the ladder with one hand and raising a shield to greet them. Behind them are rows of hysterical nomadic warriors.

In order to avoid close contact as much as possible, the rolling wood and stones on the city walls greeted the invading enemy without hesitation, and dense spears and iron forks kept piercing. One after another nomadic warriors and Yan soldiers screamed and fell under the city. After one team of death, another group of people climbed to the city regardless of everything, one after another, and continued to continue.

Seeing that the enemy was about to attack the city, Gao Manzheng gritted his teeth and was about to order the use of precious tincture oil, but was stopped by the censor Li Yao, who was responsible for the military supervisor next to him: "Master, please leave more for us."

After Li Yao said that, he led thirteen members of Dongfeng Hall down the city tower. Don’t look at each of them wearing robes. In fact, they were covered with heavy armor inside. Li Yao put on his cheeks, pulled out his horizontal knife, and rushed to the most dangerous place on the city.

At this moment, dozens of enemy soldiers in the two teams rushed to the top of the city. Behind them, a large number of soldiers were still rushing up the ladders they sacrificed their lives to protect. These enemy soldiers were extremely powerful, as if they were wild beasts who didn't know what death was. Their crazy appearance scared some timid civilians ran away in a hurry, causing the city walls to quickly become crowded.

The captain of the supervising battle waved his knife and stopped him. A feather arrow suddenly penetrated his neck. His body shook and he turned to Li Yao. Li Yao dodged and avoided it. He then snatched the knife in his hand. Then he suddenly forced his feet, like a shell, knocking away several civilians running towards him, and then kicked a bloody shield hard on a muffled "bang". With a muffled sound, a knife and shield hand flew up, and then he cried and fell off the city.

"Crush them to death"

Taking advantage of the moment of surprise of the enemies, Li Yao shouted loudly, waved his swords and led his thirteen powerful companions to the enemy. Wherever he passed, his broken limbs and his arms were flying, and blood mist was filled with mist.

Li Yao, holding a double sword, was like a self-propelled meat grinder. In a blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers. After chiseling through the enemy's piles, she licked the blood that splashed on her lips through her cheeks, spat on the ground, turned around and fought back, and then burst into blood again.

Among Li Yao's twelve companions, Gao Lie was also a person with extremely terrifying force. He looked unique when he took action. With one arm, he strangled an enemy soldier who rushed over with his head. Then he used it as a shield and entered a flock of sheep and knocked him down like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Then, a long sword in his hand flew up and down, and in a moment he separated several enemy soldiers.

A Turkic centurion who had just climbed up to the top of the city was furious when he saw this tragic situation. He raised his sword and slashed at Gao Lie nearby. Gao Lie reacted very quickly and turned sideways and barely flashed through this fatal blow.

Just at this moment, a cold light suddenly passed through the centurion's neck, and a huge head flew into the air. Gao Lie glanced at the afterglow and saw Luo Renjun holding a head in his hand, smiling proudly at him, and asked with a point of view: "Try it, how?"

Gao Lie suddenly slashed the ground and cut a enemy soldier who was pounced on him into two pieces. He responded with a boiling blood: "Okay."

The chapter order is wrong and cannot be changed. It should have been Chapter 2O2. My family was sick and I really fainted. I will take time to write something like the extra. I will take time to write it tomorrow. Another ps: Cheek, as mentioned in the previous article, is actually a facial armor. In the Tang Dynasty, you can refer to the Japanese Cheek Oscar structure, nostrils and mouths, which have a certain amount of protection. It is not the same type as Baldwin's silver mask in the Heavenly Kingdom, it is just used to cover the face.
