As if the murderous intent was pressing in front of him, Chen Ping just sneered in his heart. He pulled out the knife from the hand of the soul under the knife with his backhand, and held the bloody blade across his chest.
She held up a beautiful sword with trembling hands and smiled provocatively at the soldiers of the Prince's Army.
"Kill -" both sides shouted loudly at the same time. The flash of swords and swords flashed across, and the four guards who rushed forward fell to the city wall before they could scream. Chen Ping held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.
Like a god of murder, he stood in front of the crenellations of the city wall, guarding the passage of the crenellations. Not long after, the old soldiers of the Song Army bravely climbed onto the city wall, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and fiercely charged into the defenders.
The sword flashed and he slashed hard. A Song Army soldier whose head had just emerged from the top of the city was decapitated by Zhonglang. The head that was thrown away rolled several times in the air before it hit the ground heavily.
The body gushing with blood slid down the ladder and fell diagonally down the city. The Song soldiers below did not even look at it, as if what just fell was just a tiny grain of dust, and they continued to bury their heads.
Climb up the city wall.
A long hook stretched out diagonally from the arrow hole, and tightly hooked the ladder. A guard captain used his arms fiercely, and veins appeared on his forehead as his internal energy surged. He pulled the long hook hard, and the ladder
The soldiers of the Song Army on the top were frightened one after another, and either retreated down or rushed up the city wall with all their strength. The soldiers of the Song Army at the bottom of the ladder saw the long hook sticking out of the city wall. They were all frightened and rushed desperately.
To grab the base of the ladder truck in order to stabilize the long ladder body, people on both sides of the city were fighting hard...
However, no matter how strong the wooden ladder is, how can it consume more energy than the iron hook? With just a "click" sound, the ladder finally couldn't bear the pull of two huge forces in opposite directions and broke directly from the middle. The man who rushed to the top
Sergeant Song's quick eyesight and quick hands jumped up into the air and grabbed the lower edge of the female wall. However, the other people who were climbing up with him were not as lucky as him. They lost their support and fell vertically to the ground.
The soldiers of Song Dynasty who were originally holding the base of the ladder car saw their brothers falling from the top. They all gathered below to hold them up. It was a distance of six to seven feet high. Moreover, Song soldiers below did not expect it.
Yes, what fell with the soldiers was the long hook thrown by the defender's captain with all his strength. It pierced a man's chest in mid-air, and the long hook passed through the body. The soldier of the Song Dynasty below was not injured at all.
Unprepared, he was nailed to the ground without even saying a word. Then, three or five soldiers fell heavily on top of the Song soldiers who had just been shocked. The crowd below dispersed and their attention was distracted.
, many Song soldiers were still in panic, how much more thoughts were on their heads? They were killed, injured and brought down a group of Song soldiers, which caused a panic in the city for the second time, but before they could wait for the following,
When people reacted, a corpse fell from mid-air and was crushed down.
The veteran of the Song Army who grabbed the lower edge of the parapet used the survival force that instantly burst out of his body. He bowed and tightened his whole body, and rushed to the top of the city using his hands and feet. But as soon as his head came out of the crenel, he saw
A big man with a beard all over his face, his rough face looked particularly ferocious and terrifying when reflected by the splotches of blood. Before he had time to react, the broadsword in the hand of the prince's military captain was slashed down, making him unable to hide even if he wanted to.
Open, the big knife that struck was too fast. As soon as he stood up, the blade had already cut across his body. The long wound brought up a stream of blood, and blood mist flew into the air instantly.
The city wall of Donglangguan is only more than one mile long, and there are five to six thousand soldiers in the pass. It can be said that the guard force is very sufficient. Although the Song army attacking the city was more powerful, with rain of stones, bullets and arrows, it was impossible to suppress it from a long distance.
No problem, but at the beginning of the siege, the Prince's Army used rolling logs, stones, kerosene, boiling water and other defensive equipment, which still caused considerable losses to Chen An's camp.
Of course, Chen An's troops, who were going all out at this time, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Chen Pingping, attacked the city after a life-and-death struggle. After several attempts to seize control, they paid a heavy price but failed.
It has already established a firm foothold at the top of the city.
"You are so fucking life-threatening!" He spat out thick phlegm, and cursed with hatred. The Song Army's desperate attack made him tremble in his heart. Wave after wave of attacks,
Each wave was stronger than the other, and the Song army lost at least three to two thousand men, but there was no relief.
"Tell the reserve army to reinforce immediately. Enter the Tibetan Soldier Cave immediately to reinforce the city! Don't let a Song army gain a foothold at the city!"
In the Guan City, the soldiers and horses of Ningshan and Dingshan counties who had just entered Donglang Pass from the North Gate, including three thousand soldiers and generals, looked at the South Pass where the fighting was boiling with embarrassment. The fighting was so fierce that the people in the pass
With only 3,000 more of his own men, could he defeat the Song army outside?
Ningshan and Dingshan counties are located between Donglangguan and Jinniuguan. Three thousand troops from the two counties combined rushed to Donglangguan to support them. They were the first batch of reinforcements brought by Bian Liangqun.
There are actually two counties to the west of Xinhua, with about three to four thousand troops left. But they do not intersect with the three passes.
The purpose of Zhu Biao's troops in Dong'an County was to capture the Three Passes. Since those two counties did not intersect with the Three Passes, Zhu Biao would not go out of his way to deal with them as long as they did not come here to seek death.
After deducting the troops from Xinhua and other three counties, the remaining total strength of the Prince's Army was less than 70,000, no, just over 60,000. They also spilled a lot of blood at Cangsong Pass.
Of the less than 60,000 troops, the main force of 50,000 remains at Cangsong Pass, and the remaining 10,000 troops are distributed among the two passes and four counties including Donglang Pass and Jinniu Pass. As one can imagine,
Except for Donglang Pass, which was guarded by five to six thousand people, the military strength of the other counties was empty and weak.
Among the three thousand people sent by Ningshan and Dingshan, there were some rural soldiers and Ding Yong among them.
"Yes!" A messenger next to Zhonglang Jiang responded loudly.
"Concentrate your crossbows to fight back!" Without even glancing at the messengers who were leaving, General Zhonglang continued to stare at the watch carriages and cranes clearly visible outside the city, and issued orders. He still roared loudly. "Aim at those kings."
Cars and buckets, don’t leave any of them to me!”
In his opinion, the biggest threat to Donglang Pass is not those powerful and powerful thunder carriages, but the manned watch carriages and cranes in front of him. Not only because they carry thirty or forty sharpshooters, but also because
With these watch carriages and hanging buckets, the Song army could clearly observe every move of the Prince's Army at the head of the city and half of Nanguan City, and then use flags to direct the Thunderbolt Chariots to carry out direct and effective attacks on the city. Even if the soldiers
Troops can be mobilized through the Hidden Soldier Cave, but the entire South Pass is vaguely blocked, which is also a huge blow to morale. The connected Hidden Soldier Cave is hidden and safe, but there are advantages and disadvantages, and the speed is slower.
Not to mention, it is simply impossible to transport supplies to the city through the Tibetan Soldier Cave!
These hanging buckets and watch carriages are Donglangguan's most serious troubles. And on the battlefield, cold arrows are the most disgusting, annoying and stressful.
"We must get rid of these scourges first!" Zhonglang's eyes showed absolute determination.
Donglang Pass is the most reliable barrier south of Jinniu Pass for the Prince's Army. If this is lost, more than 60,000 Prince's Army will be locked up and beaten.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A crane truck and a wooden bucket were shot into hedgehogs.
"All watch carriages and hanging buckets must not be moved!" Zhu Biao gave this unkind order with a cold expression in the back line. In war, you must not only be cruel to the enemy, but sometimes you must also be cruel to yourself.
"Pass my military order, whoever opens the city gate first will be credited with the first meritorious deeds and will be rewarded with a hundred gold! An ordinary soldier will be promoted to the Three Extremes." A move that had never been used in the Northern Han Dynasty - heavy reward, Zhu Biao had to put it on the table at this time.
.
Either victory or death. Chen Anying's fate today has been determined.
The screams were still ringing out, one after another, coming from every ladder and battlement. The corpses of the Song Army and Prince's soldiers kept falling down the city. The most terrible thing was that a ladder truck was doused with boiling oil by the Prince's Army, and they were climbing on it.
Half of the dozen or so soldiers screamed and were loaded down from the high ladder. Then several rockets were fired down, and the entire ladder burst into flames.
From the lookout car, you can clearly see every move in Donglang Pass and the entire South Pass through the telescope. Zhu Biao’s military order was immediately executed when he received it, and he was frequently greeted by the Prince’s Army with strong bows and crossbows.
You can only stand firm and unwavering. Fight back and be smarter with the bow and arrow in your hand.
Behind Liu Zhuo stood five hundred sword players. These people were the elites recruited by Zhu Biao from his own barracks. Now the situation at the top of the city has become anxious, and both sides have entered into the consumption of strength by adding fuel tactics.
.Zhu Biao also gave appropriate support to Chen An's troops to boost their military morale.
However, he did not mobilize the shield wall and gun forest that Chen Anying left behind in front of the pass. This was the only protection for the siege troops. The prince's army in the city did not show an attitude of being at the end of their rope, and they must not be moved.
As the flag waved in front of the formation, Liu Zhuo tightened the leather shield on his left arm, raised the three-foot sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight with me!"
Behind him, ten guards of the King of Song stood. Although the strength of these people was at the level of an instant in Zhu Biao's hands, they were still a sharp force that should not be underestimated when used on the city.
Because the masters accompanying Pei Lun's army either died with Pei Lun in Gaoming, or they were in front of the Cangsongguan army, there really were no masters above the level here in Donglang Pass.
"Come on, charge at me!" At this time, the leader must be an officer. Liu Zhuo did not use his hands to support the ladder. He waved his sword with one hand and raised his shield above his head. He was like a gecko swimming on the wall, rushing upwards.
.
"Come up! Come up!" Liu Zhuo, who had experienced this kind of siege for the first time since the war started, was nervous. It wasn't obvious when he was down there, but when it came time to fight with real swords and guns, he really felt it.
My throat is a little thirsty. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!)
