"Ta-ta-ta..." Such sounds echoed throughout the barbican city, and the ladder with a canine-like barb [flying hook] on its head was firmly fastened to the battlements.
"Ouch..." Countless Hu soldiers below the city cheered. There were even some Hu soldiers who were desperate, holding shields on their heads and holding scimitars in their mouths, and they had already begun to climb up.
Arrows and crossbows rained down, and countless bottles and jars falling together with them. In the air, some white powder was already scattered towards the city.
Many Hu soldiers smelled a pungent smell, but most of them were still confused and confused. But some veterans, those who had participated in siege battles, had already howled loudly and shrilly: "Ashes, what's going on?"
Lime jar, close your eyes."
It was too late to speak. The lime jars that fell from the urn city hit the lower end of the ladder one after another, and exploded. The lime powder inside spread like smoke, and for a while, everything was shrouded in white. Just listen.
Miserable screams continued to sound, and countless Hu soldiers dropped everything in their hands, covered their eyes and rolled on the ground crying.
"my eyes……"
It can be said to be a weapon for defending the city. They exploded one by one, and the choking lime powder flew everywhere in the strong north wind. A large number of recruited Hu soldiers, infantry archers, and crossbowmen took the opportunity to harvest lives one by one on the ground.
And because the lime powder is at the bottom, the wind can blow it away, but it is difficult for it to blow back up the ten-foot-high city.
When lime invades the eyes, it will immediately cause excruciating pain and make it impossible to open the eyes. Over time, the result will be blindness.
Normally, if your eyes are hit by quicklime, you cannot wash them with water. You have to use vegetable oil. But during the siege, where can you find vegetable oil? Besides, the Hu people don't eat vegetable oil very much.
Therefore, even if the general Hu Bing knew how to save his injured soldiers, it was unlikely that he would be able to save them.
More and more lime powder piled up a white line under the base of the wall of Weng City. Many Hu soldiers and veterans were covered in patches of white. Although they escaped the vital parts of their eyes, they were all coughing and had difficulty breathing.
Together with the wounded soldiers screaming on the ground, the Hu soldiers under Weng City turned into a mess like ants on a hot pot.
"Throw the stone," the leading captain shouted loudly.
The city was originally densely packed with barbarian soldiers attacking the city. There was no need to aim and throw anything. In addition, the lime cans were hit, and everything under the city was white and blurred. How could those barbarian soldiers see the next action on the city?
Only some veterans would not let go of their shields on the ground no matter how hard they coughed, or they would try their best to get into the ladder car. When the dense stones fell from the top of the city, they could hear the screams of the people below the city, which penetrated straight through.
At the same time, another group of barbarian soldiers were attacked, and they were hit by stones thrown down.
The stones that were thrown down weighed dozens of kilograms, ranging from dozens of kilograms to more than ten kilograms. They fell from a height of ten feet with such ferocity that even if they were hit or scratched, they would end up with broken muscles and bones. Many of them were broken.
The heavy stone directly hit the ladder truck, and even the rattling ladder truck was unable to withstand it. And the people who fell on it were directly smashed into a pile of rotten flesh. Even some Hu soldiers raised their shields and could not hold up at all.
The gravity above is even if a small stone falls with a force of hundreds of kilograms, it will also cause vomiting of blood and fractures.
Some of the stones would still jump and roll around on the ground after they hit the ground, just like the rolling stone bullets from a thunderbolt cart. It was the same thing. It was only Hu Bing's legs and feet that were unlucky.
The people around him were either covering their eyes and howling miserably, or they were smashed into pulp by rocks. By this time, even the bravest Hu soldiers had lost all their courage.
Whether they were veterans or novices, they all turned around and ran back like headless flies.
They even pushed each other and made a mess, but no one was trampled to death.
Seeing the embarrassment of the Hu soldiers below the city, the Han troops on the city cheered. Especially Ding Zhuang, who was transferred to the top of the city to transport supplies, saw the situation below the city and the embarrassment of the Hu soldiers fleeing. He was extremely relieved of his hatred and at the same time, his confidence was greatly increased.
, cheering more energetically than the soldiers.
A fierce attack by the Hu soldiers came to an end, leaving only corpses and wounded on the ground, as well as abandoned ladders.
…
The lime mist has dispersed completely, and the Hu soldiers rearranged their formation behind the heavy armored soldiers, and the carriages continued to move forward. Under the urn city, there were piles of meat parts, and all kinds of broken limbs and arms, scattered and blurred.
His internal organs were yellow and white, and his corpses were spread all over the ground.
Blood, puddles full of blood, dark red blood stains on the ground, shining coldly in the cold wind. The blood shed by these Hu soldiers has quickly condensed into red ice in the cold wind.
Along with the disgusting smell of blood, there were desperate moans and cries in the wind.
Many Hu soldiers under the city had their hands and feet broken by falling rocks, their bodies were injured, or their eyes were soaked in lime but luckily they were not trampled to death. They were unable to escape. They just cried and groaned and waited for the help of their companions.
"Ka, ka..." Taking advantage of the gap when the Hu soldiers retreated slightly, the swordsman wielded his machete and heavy ax and struck at the upper barb of the ladder that was buckling the battlement - the flying hook.
Once, twice, three times...a click, and the sound of wood breaking came.
"It's broken here, use a strike pole, a fork, a quick fork -"
A group of strong men, under the command of an officer, used a long, thick round bamboo tube with a large and thick head wrapped at the top, shouted slogans, and fiercely charged at the ladder from the side.
With a bang, the pole hit the top of the ladder hard. "Ah...ha..." Dozens of people exerted their strength together, and saw that the ladder tilted to one side first, and then the tilt angle gradually increased, increased,
Then increase the speed. "Boom -" Finally it tilted completely, and the entire car body tilted to the other side like a jade pillar.
Just like a towering tree falling down, with a rumbling sound, the upper end of the ladder hit another ladder truck not far away.
"Crack, click..." There was a sound of forest logging breaking and toppling. The tops of the two ladders were shattered, splinters of wood flying, wood thorns flying everywhere, and the whole thing was shattered.
It's a pity that it can't be like dominoes, one hit another, and the other hit the third, and the third...
The ladder has a huge body and a heavy base. Its heavy holding power makes it inherently lack the foundation of the 'Mino domino effect'. If one falls, all will fall together. Most of the collisions can only be smashed.
Even the upper end of the second ladder could not lift its solid lower body.
But this was enough. When the Hu soldiers came roaring up for the second time, there were less than forty intact ladder trucks left in front of the barbican.
However, as the Hu soldiers in the clouds holding swords, axes and shields rushed forward again, waves of cheers rose up from the distant Hu cavalry camp.
"Gold juice."
"Burn them to death..."
Many stoves on the city wall were burning large pots of boiling dung juice. The stench was soaring to the sky, and it was even more vicious. The steam was boiling, and many soldiers Ding Yong were gnashing their teeth and scooping it up with a long ladle.
He poured the boiling dung juice onto Hu Bing, who was climbing the ladder below.
Last time the wild dog couldn't help but fight, and only the lime jar and stone were enough to cook it. This treasure, which had been prepared for a long time, was only used now.
Miserable howls sounded that were not like human voices, and the golden juice continued to pour down. Even those barbarian soldiers with shields to cover themselves would inevitably be poured and splashed by the boiling excrement juice. One by one, they howled from the ladder.
fall down.
As the gold juice continued to pour down, bundles of firewood mixed with saltpeter and sulfur were ignited and thrown from the top of the city. "Burn them!" Another fire broke out below the city.
Although the taste of gunpowder in this time and space has completely changed, there is no doubt that saltpeter and sulfur assist combustion and have poisonous gases. There is a lot of saltpeter and sulfur wrapped in those firewood. After being ignited, the fire is accompanied by smoke, and soon the wood inside
It can also burn.
The ladders one after another were on fire. The Hu soldiers were affected one by one, turning into burning men rolling on the ground. Using fire attacks to deal with the Hu soldiers was more effective than dealing with the Han people.
These guys who eat meat all day not only have a smell of odor on their bodies, but their clothes are also shiny. In winter, Hu soldiers wear thick leather robes under their armor, and a layer of skin accumulates on the outside of the leather robes over time.
Thick grease, which is so hard in winter, can hold up a set of leather armor. But in a fire, it is the best flammable substance.
Even though the Hu soldiers below the city were not infected by the sparks, they covered their faces. In the thick smoke, many people were still coughing and breathless, and their eyes were so red and swollen that they could hardly open their eyes. The guard at the top of the city
The Chenghan army also took the opportunity to throw down shovelfuls of hot coals from the stove, causing the Hu soldiers to howl and yell as they became even hotter.
Countless soldiers were burned to death and burned. Viewed from the air, the location of the urn outside the north gate of Beiling City seemed to be shrouded in fire and smoke, as if it were burning the city.
But Hu Bing did not retreat for the second time. Although the golden juice and fireworks coming down from the city wall made them frightened, the sharp blades behind them were more capable of killing them. Fortunately, a few ladders with poor "confrontation effect" were able to kill them.
The densely packed Hu soldiers continued to attack. But they were not much better. The offensive and defensive equipment stored in Beiling City was too complete. When the Hu soldiers holding swords and shields howled and climbed to the upper half of the ladder,
After a while, I saw a log covered with barb-like sharp iron nails smashed down on my head. The leader of the Hu soldiers only had time to shout: "thorns and thorns..." before he was hit by the log covered with sharp iron spikes.
He was thrown straight down from the ladder, his arm was broken, his shield was thrown far away, and his chest was intimately touched by thorns. His flesh and blood were blurred, and it was covered with thick holes and thorns.
Both ends of the thorns are connected with iron chains. When they roll down from the top of the city, they will sweep along the ladder and wipe out all the barbarian soldiers within the distance of the iron chain. Even those who are lucky enough to survive can be swept away from the high ladder.
It is also a meat pie when tossed up and down.
People fell down from a height of seven to eight feet, and the Hu soldiers underground did not dare to catch them. None of them even had a chance to roll on the ground and howl in pain.
Two iron chains were wrapped around a wooden pulley fixed on the top of the city. As long as the famous soldiers from the two mountains worked together to shake the wooden pulley, like fetching water, the thorns could be taken back to the top of the city.
Just like now, after the thorns covered with flesh and blood were placed at the bottom, there was a sound of orders from the city head and the sound of the creaking wooden wheel turning, and the thorns, still ticking with blood, were taken back to the city. Go up to your head.
The Hu soldiers on the ladder suffered like this, and the Hu soldiers on the other ladders were not much better. They were viciously slapped on the ladder by the wolf fangs that fell on their heads. Everyone died in a horrific manner, and their bodies were riddled with holes.
Even the ladder creaked and made an overwhelming sound.
The wolf-tooth racket is made of elm locust wood, one foot and five feet long, six feet and three inches wide, and seven inches thick. It is made of hundreds of wolf-tooth iron nails, all one foot long. It weighs one pound and six taels, and is nailed to the cloth. On the beat, there is a six-inch and three-quarter piece of wood, with knives embedded on all sides and nail rings on the four corners. It is twisted on a pulley with a rope and hooked on the city. The enemy ants attack the city, pull it up and beat it down. It is very sharp.
It is much heavier than thorns and thorns. No matter how strong the ladder is, it will be destroyed after three or two hits.
Therefore, the Hu Bing who encountered the wolf-fang slap was more miserable than the Hu Bing who encountered the thorn thorn. The thorn thorn only smashed the head and chest, but the wolf-fang slap directly smashed the whole person.
"Cupping pot——, put it on!"
In Jinglan, the charging chariot was in sight. The crossbow soldiers on the city wall replaced their arrows and placed an oil can with a coarse cloth on the mouth of the can on the crossbow. The coarse cloth soaked in grease was set on fire. "Whoosh..." With a whirring sound, jars of fire pots filled with grease accurately hit the behemoths a dozen or twenty steps away.
Although the cupping pot is uneven, within such a small distance, it is enough to ensure that it hits the target accurately.
Arrows fell like rain. They accurately landed on the barbican city, and more fell on the wall behind the barbican city.
These kerosene are the most powerful weapon for defending the city. It is a waste to use them to deal with ladder trucks, let alone use them to deal with the barbarian soldiers below. Only wells and rams, these behemoths that can completely threaten the security of the city, are the ones they burn. The first object.
Whether the kerosene saw the well first and rushed the chariot and burned it, or whether the well was the first to rush the chariot and sent Hu soldiers to conquer the city, this is a matter of time. What you want to grab is "first"!
Accompanied by an unusually loud trumpet sound, the "wooden towers" that were slowly advancing came to an abrupt stop only two feet away from the head of Wengcheng. The remaining Hu soldiers under the city gathered again, and most of them gathered in the well. Lan, after rushing the car, the remaining small part ran to the remaining ladder, and regrouped and climbed up the ladder for the third time.
"Bang——"
"Bang——"
"Bang——"
Without any warning, the front panels of the twenty well rams and rams suddenly fell down, and a tree measuring three feet square was wrapped in wet rawhide, with several or a dozen fire feather arrows hung on it. The bridge was placed on the top of the Wengcheng city with a "boom" in the helpless eyes of the Han soldiers who were guarding the city. Immediately, a series of suspended suspension bridges were formed. One end was built on the top of the Wengcheng city, and the other end was connected to the towering "wooden bridge". tower".
"Kill, kill, kill—"
The deafening shouts of killing rang out, which made people's blood boil and at the same time roared out the tension in their hearts. The Huqi heavy armored infantry who had already exchanged positions with the archers surged out.
These elite Huqi are all wearing double iron armor, holding a round leather shield in one hand and a sword in the other. When charging, the light leather shield blocks the head and chest, and the blade of the knife sticks out like a head covered with thick armor and a sharp horn.
The giant beast rolled across the suspension bridge in the sky...
"Fire pot -" Amidst the nervous shouts, jars of burning kerosene were smashed on the wooden bridge.
"Zhila——"
The boiling kerosene immediately burned over a large area. Even if it was wrapped with wet rawhide, it could not stop the burning of the kerosene. Moreover, the height of some wells was much higher than the city wall. The wooden planks were not laid flat, but
It slopes downward.
The grease was so greasy that it was slippery even when poured on rawhide. However, the heavy armored infantrymen who were riding wildly could not stand firmly on the wide wooden planks. They would either slip directly towards the city wall, or even worse, fall with kerosene all over their bodies.
Take out the plank.
The Han troops guarding the city had been prepared for a long time. When the Hu soldiers slid down one by one, they swarmed up. Before the Hu soldiers had time to react, they were cut into pieces with swords.
But these can only be used for a short time, and cannot solve a battle instantly. Stimulated by the tragic situation of their own people, the Hu soldiers, whose eyes were red, rained down scimitars, short hammers, and arrows. The spears were blocked at the entrance of the wooden bridge like a dense forest.
, the sharp swords were pressed between the battlements like mountains. In each section of the Wengcheng wall, the sound of fierce killings resounded through the sky, the swords were shining, the blood was splashing, and the collision of iron and blood on the battlefield was the most perfect at this moment.
Interpretation.
Red robes, yellow robes, and black robes, hundreds of mages from the Celestial Sect mixed with the barbarian soldiers and rushed to the top of the city. Xing Tianxiao led his soldiers to also hit the city head-on. The city was only a hundred feet wide, a semicircular urn, and the total length was only
It is 314 feet long. With so many masters strangled together, the density is really unusual.
However, even such a high-density battle between masters could not help but be overshadowed by the desperate duel between ordinary soldiers of the two armies.
"Fire oil—fire oil—"
"Rolling logs and rocks, hit me quickly, hit them hard -"
"Rockets, fire rockets, don't stop——"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh-whoosh-"
Dozens of fire oil were thrown from the top of the city, and stones were smashed from the top of the city. The ground was burned. The entire foot of the city wall turned into a sea of fire, and countless Hu soldiers who could not escape were buried in the sea of fire.
The fire was burning, and the aroma of roasted human flesh could be directly conveyed to the top of the city. Even for those veterans of hundreds of battles, this kind of fighting was like a nightmare.
Zhu Biao concentrated on observing the battle situation, not only the front of the barbican but also the left and right wings.
"kill!--"
"kill!--"
In the midst of the bloody fight, fierce fighting spirit ignited in the chest. Whether it was the Han army defending the city or the Hu soldiers attacking the city, at this moment, the fear of death was far behind.
Blood was bleeding every moment, but Zhu Biao's expression was very indifferent. He stood on the top of the city and looked at the Wengcheng where Zhenglie was fighting in front. Only the burning murderous intention surged in his eyes. "Order, knife."
Players come in to help.”
The captain at the front commanded it very successfully, but Hu Bing's continuous offensive did not gain any advantage. When the fire burned through the wooden bridge, burned the well railings, and rushed the car, it was all over.
"Dong, dong, dong..." The sound of the rushing car was really harsh, which made Zhu Biao a little anxious. When Beiling City fell last time, not only was the barbican city destroyed, but even the city wall collapsed. Uweituo Battle Situation Beiling
Behind the city, labor was organized to carry out repairs, and after the Han army recovered, they strengthened it vigorously. However, the sound of the rushing car was like a thunderous impact, which still hit Zhu Biao's heart.
"These wells are too threatening to rush into the car." Xie Shuyan became agitated. Watching the city defenders being killed by the condescending Hu Qi elite shooters, his fists clenched.
