Under the cover of night, groups of Tang troops marched forward in neat formations. The black shadows were like demons pouring out of hell. The dull footsteps seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the rebels on the city, making people's mouths dry and their hearts trembling with fear.
How many people are needed to make such heavy footsteps?
Jia Du stood on the city tower, clutching the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand. He looked back at the city where the fighting was shaking and the fire was everywhere. Groups of Qin Wang's troops kept rushing towards the east gate. Then he looked at the people in front of him who were pressing towards the city gate step by step.
When Tang Jun came, he almost broke his teeth!
Damn Tang Jun, why did they give up on themselves and join forces with King Qin's army?
Could it be that I can't give you what those rabble-rousers can give you? What kind of agreement have you reached that can make Tang Jun abandon you?
At this moment, he really wanted to shout at Tang Jun from the tower: "We can talk about whatever you want? As long as it's not my life, can I give you anything?"
However, he was destined not to have this opportunity. The Tang army under the city had already accelerated its pace and launched an attack.
One hundred steps...eighty steps...fifty steps...thirty steps...
The torches at the top of the city illuminated the open space below the city. It was only then that the rebels on the city saw clearly the appearance of the Tang army below the city. They were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes...
I saw a column of Tang troops walking out of the darkness, walking steadily and steadily. The soldiers were in black helmets and black armor with sharp swords. Their whole bodies were covered in black armor like crabs, and even their faces were covered with iron masks.
Only one pair of eyes remains.
The heavy armor adds weight to the body, and the steps are uniform and heavy on the ground. Every step seems to shake the earth, bringing unparalleled oppression to the enemy!
What type of military is this?
Gadu regained consciousness and shouted wildly, waving the steel knife: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
The rebels around them quickly drew up their bows and nocked arrows. The few arrows they shot out fell on the Tang army below the city as if they were shot on rocks. The formation of the Tang army did not change at all, and their pace was steady and unchanging.
The rain fell on deaf ears.
Jiadu had already seen that these Tang soldiers were wearing heavy armor and were not afraid of the lethality of arrows. Not only could the arrows not hurt them, but even the steel knife in his hand could not penetrate the solid armor.
First……
Jia Du gritted his teeth and his heart kept sinking, but he did not want to sit still and wait for death. He roared: "I have guarded them all, and I can't let the Tang army come in!"
Without him shouting, the rebels also knew that once these Tang troops armed to the teeth entered the city, everyone would suffer a disaster, and they would probably be slaughtered without even a chance to fight back!
On the verge of desperation, the rebels also burst out with a shocking momentum. They stood up and stared at death. Even if they died, they would still drag a Tang army to kill them!
However, they did not realize that the real disparity in strength could not be filled by any number of lives...
The Tang army under the city kept walking, and suddenly a loud shout was mixed in with the heavy footsteps: "Archers, prepare - let go!"
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound like thunder in the sky, which was the sound of thousands of strong bows and crossbows releasing their bowstrings at the same time.
A moment later, a dark cloud covered the moon and fell from the sky above the rebels!
Countless arrows were shot densely into the city. In the rebel formation behind the city gate, the sharp triangular arrow clusters carried huge kinetic energy and tore apart some obstacles, piercing through the pitiful leather armor of the rebels like torn paper.
Through it, it was easily nailed into the rebel's body.
The sound of "Puff puff puff" is like rain hitting lotus...
However, what splashed away was not cool raindrops, but scarlet blood!
Under the strong bows of the Tang army, the ground was filled with miserable howls, it was like a hell on earth!
Jia Zili stood at the top of the city holding a huge wooden shield to block the rain of arrows falling from the sky. However, several of the soldiers around him were hit by arrows. The wails rang through their ears. Those who were hit by arrows either died on the spot or rolled and screamed. It was only a round of arrows.
If it rains, the rebels will suffer heavy losses!
Jiadu's eyes are about to split!
"Hold on! Hold on! Don't stand in the open space, look for cover nearby! The Tang army will attack the city soon, and we will fight them desperately at that time!"
Only then did the rebels wake up and seek cover one after another. Even their comrade Pao Ze, who was writhing and wailing at the end, did not dare to treat him. Who knew whether the Tang army would follow closely with the fierce rain of arrows in the next moment?
Jiadu finally understood. He was probably going to die here today. The Tang army was too powerful, how could they defeat it?
Just hoping to defend the city until the Tang army attacked the city, he led the rebels to condescendingly inflict heavy losses on the Tang army. Even before he died, he would bite the Tang army hard to satisfy his hatred!
But he forgot that if the Tang army wanted to capture the city now, they would not have to sacrifice their lives to capture the city wall as they did in the past...
The heavy infantry array was still slowly but firmly advancing on the city wall. The rebels at the top of the city were struggling to hold on, waiting for the Tang army to attack the city with all their strength. However, they saw more than a dozen squads suddenly appearing in the Tang army's formation, each time
There were five or six people in the team. These soldiers were also wearing armor. They put a huge square shield on their heads to cover their bodies, and they ran towards the city wall quickly!
The rebels were hiding behind the arrow stacks and looked confused. They thought to themselves, what are you doing?
Jiadu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly the souls of the dead came out, shouting: "Stop them! Stop them! They want to blow up the city wall with thunder!"
The rebels were all startled, and then they were scared to death!
Yes, why did you forget Tang Dynasty’s Sky-shattering Thunder?!
That thing can blow up even an elephant. If ten of them are bundled together and placed under the city... the city wall will also be blown away!
The rebels who were hiding behind the arrow stack quickly showed their heads, shooting arrows, throwing spears, and some even threw stones, rolling logs, and wood from the top of the city, hoping to kill the Tang army.
However, what awaited them was another wave of arrows falling from the sky...
Jiadu didn't care about the screaming and wailing soldiers around him. He raised the big shield above his head, and there was a dense sound of "fighting, fighting, fighting". He didn't know how many arrows were shot on the big shield. He lay down on the arrow pile and looked down.
Stones and rolling logs hit the square shield held by the Tang army above their heads, making a dull thud, but they were unable to cause any damage.
Tang Jun came to the city without delay. The two men took a long iron drill with a rocker. The front of the iron drill was nailed into the blue bricks of the city wall. They shook the rocker quickly and saw the iron pincers.
He quickly got into the green brick, and within a few moments, the green brick bonded with glutinous rice lime mortar was forcibly lifted out while Gadu was stunned...
Naturally, Gadu on the city wall couldn't see clearly the spiral pattern on the iron drill, let alone the principle of the drill bit. He just saw that Tang Jun easily lifted out a few bricks, and a big hole appeared in the originally strong city wall. Then Tang Jun will
A dark object was stuffed into the hole, blowing on the fire.
Amidst the sparks of "呲呲" flying, the Tang Army squad used square shields to cover their retreat quickly...
How could Jia Du still not understand that the Tang army had buried the thunderbolt into the city wall?
Immediately he shouted: "Go to the city! Go to the city quickly!"
Throwing away the big shield in his hand, he ran towards the steps of the city. As soon as he reached the steps, he felt the ground shaking under his feet, followed by a muffled thunderous sound, and Gadu stepped on the air.
Falling towards the city, he even glanced back in mid-air. The rebels on the city didn't know what had happened. The entire impregnable city wall seemed to be arched by an earth dragon emerging from the ground, and it fell apart in an instant.
Bricks, wood, weapons, corpses... were razed to the ground in Jiadu's desperate eyes...
Jiadu fell heavily to the ground, his last thought before he fell into coma - how could the Tang army defeat such a force?
There was a loud noise, the ground shook, and the sky was filled with gunpowder smoke and dust. The heavy infantry of the Tang Army slowly crossed the city wall that had been blown to pieces. There were still many rebels rolling and wailing between the ruins. The Tang Army stepped forward to strike, and then stood up.
Forward, unstoppable.
The remaining rebels launched an attack, but the weapons in their hands could only leave shallow marks on the Tang army's armor, but failed to break through even a single inch. As the Tang army waved their hands, the sharp horizontal swords seemed to be cutting.
Cutting melons and vegetables, countless rebels howled and fell in a pool of blood...
How to fight this battle?
The armor of the Tang army was invulnerable, and the general's life and death were unknown. The rebels finally lost their morale. I don't know who shouted, turned around and ran away... However, before running a few steps, they ran into someone who was pursuing them.
The teacher of King Qin.
Some resisted, some surrendered, there were sounds of begging for mercy, wailing, crying, shouting and cursing... The rebels and King Qin's troops were mixed together in a chaotic mess.
King Qin's army chased the rebels to the east gate. Before they could recover from the earth-shattering earthquake, they saw the rebels roaring and rushing into their formation. They were immediately overjoyed and killed them.
The rebels shouted to the Tang army in full armor: "Friendly troops! We are friendly troops! Just rest, we will take care of these rebels!"
However, Tang Jun turned a deaf ear and kept moving forward slowly but firmly, running straight into the chaotic array...
