"Fight back! Fight back!" Qianhu of the archery battalion was very angry with An Yan. Under the condescending advantage, the archers of his battalion were suppressed by the barbarians, and it was difficult to even fight back.
An archer poked his head out slightly, and an arrow shot over with a whoosh, hitting the archer right in the face. The brave archer tilted his head back and stared blankly at the sky, no longer alive.
It's not that the archery skills of the barbarians are so amazing, but that there are too many barbarian soldiers under the west city gate. The barbarian army has more than 20,000 siege troops, and 10,000 are attacking the west city gate, and the red sun on the city wall
The number of guards is less than 3,000. The number of barbarians is more than three times that of Chiyang soldiers. Moreover, the defenders of Chiyang City are basically new soldiers, while the barbarians are veterans who have fought for many years.
"Damn it!" Xiang Anyan glanced at the archer who fell to the ground, "Listen to me, don't stick your head out and use it as a target for the barbarian dogs. Every time you shoot an arrow, you only need to shoot it from the battlements. There are so many barbarian soldiers below.
, why are you aiming so accurately?"
Xiang Anyan didn't look outside at all. He just nocked the bow and raised his hand slightly to shoot the bow and arrow without looking at where the arrow flew. There were densely packed barbarians below. As long as the general direction was right,
You can always shoot an unlucky guy.
"Whoosh!" The arrow fired at An Yan really found an unlucky guy. A barbarian soldier was about to raise his hand to shoot the arrow in his hand at the battlements of Chiyang City, but an arrow flew over and hit him in the chest.
The arrows came out of the eye sockets and from the back of the head. The bow and arrow in the barbarian soldier's hand did not shoot out, and they fell to the ground together with the man. After knocking on the ground, the arrow shot out, hitting the butt of a barbarian soldier in front of him.
"Ah!" The barbarian soldier let out a scream, touched his butt with his hand, and found a handful of blood.
"Bang!"
With the cover of fierce shooting from bows and arrows, the barbarians finally carried the ladder to the bottom of the city wall after injuring some soldiers, slammed it onto the city wall, and placed it heavily on the wall. Then the barbarians immediately climbed up the ladder and quickly climbed up.
Climb upward.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liyuan immediately roared: "Stop hiding, the barbarians are coming. Pour down the boiling oil! Burn these beasts to death!"
Two Daqi soldiers immediately carried an iron pot and poured it down the ladder.
When the barbarian soldiers on the ladder saw the boiling oil pouring down, they hurriedly jumped off the ladder. Even so, they still couldn't escape being drenched by the boiling oil. The hot oil soaked through the clothes of the barbarian soldiers, immediately scalding them.
The barbarian soldiers were rolling on the ground in pain.
"Come on! Hurry up and rush forward!" Xirigoulige roared angrily.
The barbarians at the back immediately joined in, and the other barbarians kept shooting arrows at the city wall. A Chiyang Guard soldier who stuck his head out to look under the city wall was shot dead, with a bow and arrow stuck in his chest, and one of his arrows.
Fell down from the city wall.
Xu Liyuan quickly threw a torch down, and the boiling oil that had just been dumped immediately started to burn fiercely. The few barbarian soldiers who were filling in were covered with fire, and they rolled down the ladder in pain. As a result, the boiling oil stained on their bodies became more and more intense.
The more there were, the stronger the fire became, and finally turned into a burning man.
No matter how fierce the barbarian soldiers were, they could not withstand such a fierce fire, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the burning range of the boiling oil.
Xu Liyuan almost consumed most of the fire oil and gold juice before repelling the first wave of barbarian attacks with great difficulty. The barbarians threw down thousands of corpses and retreated out of the range of the Chiyang Guard archers.
The defenders at the West City Gate were not much better. Under the attack of barbarian arrows, the number of defenders killed was no less than 200, and many others were injured. The panicked residents of Chiyang City under the city wall also suffered many casualties.
"Quick, quick, quick! Put the pot up again! After the fire oil below burns, the barbarians will attack immediately." Xu Liyuan shouted.
Du Changgeng stood on the city tower, calmly looking at the barbarian soldiers in the distance. The barbarian soldiers were gathering, and the fire oil fire under the city wall had begun to weaken. The next wave of attacks was coming soon.
Luo Xifeng took two servants and followed the little boy to the little boy's home. There was a corpse in the main room of the little boy's house, covered with a white cloth. Now that the war was in chaos, no one had time to organize the funeral for the boy's family.
The body can be parked at home.
The boy's mother fell to the ground, and she didn't know whether she was unconscious or dead.
Luo Xifeng probed the nostrils of the boy's mother who was lying on the ground with her hand, and felt only a very weak breath. She quickly pressed the Renzhong point with force. After a while, the boy's mother slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xifeng asked.
The boy's mother said nothing, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"You can't do this. People can't be resurrected, and it's useless for you to be sad. You don't think about your own body, but you also have to think about your child. If anything happens to you, your child will no longer have relatives in this world. This way
Okay. You mother and son will stay with me in the Du Mansion first. After today's war is over, I will send someone to help you take care of your husband's funeral affairs." Luo Xifeng said.
The boy's mother nodded.
In a woods outside Chiyang City, Du Xuan's two thousand men and horses were all hidden in the woods. The two thousand men and horses seemed to be still, without making a single sound.
Hu Benrui rode a dragon-scale horse and ran quickly into the woods: "Third Young Master, the first wave of barbarian attacks has been blocked by Chiyang City. Now the barbarians are gathering again, preparing to launch a second wave of attacks. When will we dispatch?"
"Wait a minute. We have too few troops. The barbarians still have 5,000 troops who have not moved. The troops attacking the city have not been greatly damaged. If we go out now, it will be easy to be held back by the barbarian army, which is extremely disadvantageous to us." Du Xuan shook.
Shaking his head, although he was anxious, he knew clearly that now was not the best time to attack.
"Dong dong, dong dong..."
The war drums beat again, and the second wave of siege is about to begin. The barbarians have begun to approach the base of the city wall.
Although the kerosene under the city wall had burned out, the corpses were still smoking, and the unpleasant burning smell of burning corpses permeated everywhere.
The body of a barbarian soldier who was not completely dead was twitching slightly, and he howled in pain from his throat.
Xirigoulig raised the scimitar in his hand and roared: "Attack!"
The barbarian army immediately surged towards Chiyang City like a tide.
"Shoot!" Xu Liyuan also gave the order on Chiyang City. A hail of arrows immediately rushed towards the tide of barbarian soldiers.
The barbarian soldiers running in front fell to the ground one after another, but for the huge number of barbarian soldiers, this loss was nothing. The barbarian soldiers also began to use their bows to fight back, and the dense arrows were like dark clouds heading towards the red sun.
