With the sound of bowstrings, thousands of feather arrows were shot out from the Snow Riders who rushed to the city with all their strength, and even pierced the skulls of the first wave of galloping wolves that had rushed to the city. However, the few that followed closely
Not only did the hundred giant wolves not retreat, they actually jumped up on the bodies of their companions and jumped several feet straight up along the city wall!
The smelly hot breath exhaled from the wolf's mouth was like spraying directly on the faces of the soldiers guarding the city, making people almost nauseous. The scarlet tongue and yellow fangs in the wolf's mouth made everyone present feel sick.
The flesh is pounding and the heart is frightened.
Fortunately, Sa Xueqi's continuous shooting skills were unparalleled in the world. Before the corpses of the previous wave of dead wolves fell to the ground, the second round of arrow rain had arrived. As the galloping wolf was killed in the air, the pack of wolves attacked
The momentum was also slightly suppressed. In the loud howl of the alpha wolf, they all retreated back, but they were just outside the range of the arrows. The order was decisive, the change was rapid, and the formation
It is so rigorous that it is not inferior to the regular armies of many vassal states.
The pressure from the wolves was slightly relieved, but General Yan on top of the city could not get a moment's respite. Because rapid drum beats sounded one after another on the turrets at many places on the city wall, and then there was an emergency report. It was Yu Xi.
, traces of Chilang were found in the three directions of north and east!
"Are there any black crows in the city?"
The black-eyed boy asked the sergeant beside him, but turned to look to the south, worried: "Chilang is advancing too fast. If the troops sent fail to notify Ziyin in time-"
He did not dare to continue speaking, for fear of saying something that would become a motto. But Tuya knew exactly who her husband was thinking about, and took the pen and paper that had been delivered from the hands of the imperial guards without hesitation:
"Husband, if you still have things to explain, I will definitely help you complete them one by one. But if the wolves attack again later, I don't want you to be distracted by other things. You must remember that if Suiyao falls today, even if
I'm afraid it won't help if you inform your friends and make preparations early!"
His wife's words awakened Jiang Yan, who was troubled with his thoughts. He nodded, picked up his pen and quickly wrote a few lines on the white silk, and then carried Xiao Tianmo onto Wu Chen, who had followed him to the top of the city.
He began to set up defenses all over the city wall, trying to do everything possible to block the second round of attacks that might be launched at any time.
At the same time, the pack of wolves outside the city did not stop. Under the leadership of the alpha wolf, they circled Suiyao City, looking for loopholes in the city's defense that were difficult to detect.
Suddenly, the patrolling wolves were like sharks that smelled the smell of blood in the Chanying Sea. They suddenly turned around on the flat plateau and launched a charge from north to south. However, they did not concentrate their efforts like humans did when they attacked the city.
Instead of hitting the most vulnerable city gate, it surged straight towards the towering city wall like a raging flood!
Saxueqi once again drew the bow to full string, aimed at the pack of wolves charging in the distance and launched a salvo. Unexpectedly, the speed of the galloping wolf forward this time was actually several times higher than before. After a slight dodge, it was easy to do so at a very small cost.
He dodged the continuous rain of arrows and rushed straight to the city.
It was only then that people realized that the thick wall bricks of Suiyao City might be able to stand up in the face of human stone crossbows and rams, but the thickness of the female wall at the top of the city was too generous. Even if the crossbowmen were no longer capable,
No matter how you stretch your arms, you can't shoot the arrow to an area several feet wide at the foot of the city wall!
And those wolves are currently running towards the place where no iron arrow has fallen!
The surface of the seemingly solid stone city wall now looks like weathered gravel when faced with crazy wolves, and sharp claws can easily embed into it. Even if a wolf smashes the sharp teeth and breaks the hook claws, it still remains.
Climbing up to the top of the city wall along the bricks and stones one after another!
"Quick, pull the rope!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yan yelled while struggling to pull up the thick hemp rope attached to the wooden frame erected next to the city wall. The city of Suiyao was tightly defended, and there was a wide wooden frame every fifteen steps on the city wall.
, several boulders and logs were fixed on the frame by wooden wedges and ropes, and there was a slope on the front facing the city.
At this time, the hemp rope pulled by the defenders pulled up the mechanism on the frame, and dropped countless heavy wooden and stone rolls, which fell directly on the heads of the wolves. A blood-curdling wail suddenly sounded from the city.
The first batch of galloping wolves that climbed up the wall were smashed to pieces on the spot, and their brains burst out. However, the wolves seemed to be planning to climb up the city in one go, and they continued to rush up, even with the help of similar weapons.
The corpse stepped on its feet and rushed to a higher place on the city wall in the blink of an eye.
But it is no longer possible to replenish new rolling wood and stones.
"Prepare the kerosene!"
The young He Han couldn't help but feel lucky that when he was setting up his defense, he specially ordered people to move all the dozens of barrels of kerosene remaining in the city defense warehouse to the city wall. At this time, the defenders who had just prepared were able to split the two halves of the kerosene into the city wall.
Bamboo tubes were used as channels to lead the kerosene from the arrow towers at both ends of the city wall to various places. After lighting it, all the oil was poured onto the wolves.
The furs on countless giant beasts were ignited by the fire, and they immediately fell from the wall and rolled all over the ground. However, the burning hot oil spread everywhere, which not only failed to extinguish the fire, but made the fire even more intense.
The oil spilled on the city wall and instantly turned the dark blue brick wall into a wall of blazing fire. After all, wild beasts are afraid of fire. As a result, the surrounding galloping wolves no longer dared to easily approach the city wall where the flames were surging, so they had to scatter one after another.
He backed away and barked angrily.
After a brief silence, thunderous cheers finally erupted from the top of the city. The faces of the defenders, who had been holding their breath and concentrating without daring to relax in the slightest, also changed from the look of despair when they first saw the pack of wolves to the look of ecstasy after the disaster.
.
This battle lasted from afternoon to evening. However, it only repelled the second attack of the pack of wolves. The galloping wolves were huge, and even if they were temporarily frustrated, only a few hundred were killed. The remaining giant beasts again
He retreated beyond the range of the arrow, sticking out his scarlet tongue, staring at Suiyao City in front of him with a pair of light green eyes, refusing to leave just now.
The Suiyang defenders took a breather and finally had a chance to restore the mechanism that released the rolling wood and rocks. General Yan passed by the soldiers who were rubbing shoulders on top of the city, and saw that all the soldiers were thinking that they could advance before the wolves attacked.
City, and felt extremely lucky. However, the expression on his face became more solemn.
Tuya was waiting for him in the archery tower at the northwest corner of the city, looking equally worried. As soon as he entered the door, the young man opened his mouth and asked:
"How? How many weapons are there in the city?"
The mixed-race princess opposite shook her head, her expression extremely solemn:
"Taking into account all the armaments of the Forbidden Army, there are only more than 30,000 usable arrows left in the city. All the kerosene has been moved to the arrow tower before. Counting what you have in front of you, there are only seventy or eighty barrels. It's like the one just now
If you attack, you can defend for two more rounds at most!"
"We still have the Snow Cavalry and the Red Flame Army, and we still have the swords in our hands! If we can't hold on anymore, we will charge out with light cavalry and fast horses. No matter what, we can't take advantage of these beasts!"
The black-eyed boy remained silent for a while, then spoke again, but he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Could it be that you plan to fight for your life against those terrifying beasts with your flesh and blood? But now there are galloping wolves in four directions outside the city. Even if you are lucky enough to break out of the siege, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties! If you stay in the city, maybe you can survive
A glimmer of hope!"
Tuya actually wanted to fight to the death after hearing her husband's words, and grabbed her husband's wrist. But Jiang Yan seemed to have already considered all possible possibilities without any hesitation:
"The wolves outside will not retreat easily. For this reason, we must not hold on! Even if we can use the city wall to hold the wolves outside the city for a while, if we can hold on for three to five days, we will never hold on for three to five months! Back then, I once
One person killed two wolves on Leiyin Mountain, and now Saxue is riding a light horse and breaks through with speed, so he may not have a chance of winning!"
Since the first day when he crossed the Jinhe River southward, young Hehan had been thinking about what would happen to him and his wife if he failed to go to Suiyao. And the only way he could think of was to go south to Yujing.
, go to join forces with Qi Ziyin, and then plan for the long term.
However, before he could finish his words, he heard someone outside the archery tower shouting sternly: "The wolf has entered the city!"
"Could it be the Wolf Ladder?!"
Tuya was shocked, and before she could say anything more, she lifted up her skirt and rushed out. Jiang Yan followed closely behind, but she saw that dozens of galloping wolves had already rushed up the west wall of the city where they were the first to meet the enemy.
Fighting with more than a hundred soldiers.
Under the city on the north side where they were currently standing, the wolves that had gathered together howled loudly, as if they were cheering for their companions entering the city.
It turned out that the large group of galloping wolves that circled the city and tried to attack the city wall was just a feint attack. Now, they successfully attracted everyone's attention to the north wall area. Taking advantage of the moment when the defenders had just lowered their guard,
The hundreds of other galloping wolves that were lying in ambush unexpectedly came over quietly from the defensive to the weak western killer!
At the moment, the giant wolf is stepping on the bodies of its companions, stacking up layers one after another, forming a high tower under the city wall. And the dozens of galloping wolves running up to the top of the city are using such a wolf ladder to climb up.
Come up!
Tuya had seen on the grassland that wolves climbed into a fence as high as a person in this way, killing all the sheep in the pen. But she never expected that these wolves were huge, like a fierce lion.
The ferocious beast can actually use the same tricks, but they are more cunning and deadly!
The city wall is much narrower than the flat ground. Although there are many soldiers gathered around the wolves, only a few can actually launch an attack. With the help of his thick fur, Chilang not only withstood the constant attacks from all around.
The sharp blade even killed and wounded the defenders who rushed in front of him.
However, the giant wolves that rushed up the city wall were not just for killing people. After tearing a bloody path, they seemed to have planned it. They rushed towards the mechanism where the rolling logs and stones were placed and the arrow towers on both sides of the city wall, destroying them with their claws.
The only weapon that can stop the wolves from attacking the city!
In just a moment, the city defense that could still defend the two rounds of attacks was unable to cope with the immediate crisis. Without the powerful deterrence of weapons, the main force of the wolf pack lingering under the city rushed forward again, using the same trick.
Apply again.
The dusk haze was low, and the setting sun was like blood. More and more galloping wolves rushed to the top of the city, and some even rushed into Suiyao City, killing everyone.
Amidst the screams and screams, Jiang Yan still shouted loudly, trying to reorganize the defense of the Saxue Cavalry around him. However, with the help of the volley of crossbows that had no organization at the top of the city, he was able to do so.
The giant wolves shot and killed among the tidal wave of beasts were really rare.
A galloping wolf that was half a head taller than its kind killed seven soldiers in a row, and then rushed straight towards the arrow tower where Tuya and Jiang Yan were. Along the way, many soldiers were knocked off the city wall by it.
Then he was torn to pieces by the wolves guarding the city.
"Quickly enter the building and go to higher ground!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yan immediately pushed his wife into the gate of the archery tower with his left hand, and raised Xiao Tianmo with his right hand to greet her. With just one knife, he split the wolf from the junction of the shoulder and neck to the waist and abdomen. However, the giant beast
His body was so huge that he still rushed forward more than ten feet before falling to the ground. The huge wolf head hit Jiang Yan hard on the chest, sending him flying into the air and falling towards the rooftops of the rows of houses in the city!
"Jiangyan!"
There was a buzz in Tuya's mind, and she immediately wanted to rush down to save her husband. However, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and it was another giant wolf rushing towards the city!
Upon seeing this, another Red Flame Army hurriedly rushed forward with a knife, and pushed the princess away from the bloody wolf's mouth, but he was bitten at the waist. Then the wolf's head moved left and right, and the man's clothes were torn.
The armor, skin and flesh were torn, and the intestines and stomach were bleeding. When Tuya saw this, two lines of hot tears immediately rolled down her eyes, but she did not dare to act rashly anymore, so she had to retreat towards the highest point of the arrow tower surrounded by several other soldiers.
At the same time, General Yan who fell into the city smashed through several layers of roof tiles and floor slabs before rolling into a shop filled with shrines and incense candles.
The young man felt that all the bones in his body hurt as if they were broken. He didn't know where the injuries were or how serious they were. It took him a long time before he could barely support half of his body. Only then did he realize that this room seemed to be filled with people.
In the empty incense shop, there was actually a woman's body lying upside down.
The woman on the ground was wearing expensive brocade, but the gorgeous fabric was half soaked by a pool of sticky blood underneath her body. Her hair was disheveled, and her face could not be seen clearly. However, the golden-winged phoenix crown on her head was
The one who attracted the most attention was none other than Concubine Lan who had escaped from the city.
Jiang Yan speculated that the other party might have thought that he and Tuya would lead an army into the palace, so they took advantage of the chaos to find this closed incense shop and hide there, but unexpectedly they died there.
However, the cause of Concubine Lan's death was quite strange. Just when Jiang Yan was about to reach out to turn over the body, he suddenly saw something alive hiding in the shadow beside him, and he hurriedly raised his knife - and then he saw two huge fangs.
, biting Xiao Tianmo’s blade hard!
