Chapter 169 On the top of the city, blood flows into a river
Chapter 169: Above the city, blood flows like a river
At this moment, Shen Tang was also covered in blood!
The other three city gates were okay. Although there were Jin soldiers attacking, the lack of siege equipment was not enough to pose a threat to the city wall. However, the battle on the south city wall was extremely brutal! After the Jin soldiers attacked at all costs, They even attacked the city several times. Fortunately, Bian Xi and Shen Tang were not afraid of death and led their soldiers to pay a heavy price to secure the city.
"Yihe, send two more auxiliary soldiers to the top of the city and replace the Zaoyang soldiers to rest!" Bian Xi ordered to the general beside him.
The Zaoyang Army is the elite and main force in Bian Xi's hands, and they naturally need to withstand critical moments. But now that the situation has eased slightly, they need to maintain their energy and combat effectiveness.
"It seems that there will be no peace this night!" Shen Tang said lightly, looking at the Jin soldiers who were still preparing for the next wave of attacks, his expression was a little solemn! If this continues, the Jin soldiers will indeed suffer heavy casualties, but for the Song army, That said, it's also a huge pressure.
"Up to now, the casualties of the Jin soldiers should be more than 6,000. The next day and night will probably be enough to determine the winner. By then, either we will not be able to hold on, or the Jin soldiers will retreat due to too many casualties." Bian Xi said calmly.
"Don't worry, brother! We will win this battle!"
"Woo, woo, woo..."
The high-pitched trumpet shook the silent night, and the few thousand remaining infantry of the Jin soldiers, under the cover of catapults, rushed towards the city wall like a tide.
Same steps, same routine!
The huge ramming car below, surrounded by hundreds of golden soldiers, slammed into the city gate crazily. Inside the city gate, several huge door bolts had been locked, and hundreds of auxiliary soldiers held huge shields and huge waist-thick weapons. Timbers hold up the city gate! This is a struggle between life and death!
After the two sides attacked and involved for an hour, finally, the ladder was only one step away from the city head! A ferocious-looking golden soldier suddenly shouted and jumped directly from the ladder to the city. Above the city!
Puff puff……
Several long knives passed through his body, and he died before he could even let out a cry.
However, his death was not without any value! He attracted the attention of several Song soldiers around him, and behind him were successive Jin soldiers who fearlessly jumped onto the city wall and started a fierce battle with the Song soldiers. Hand to hand combat!
"The auxiliary soldiers continue to guard the city head and continue to throw logs and boulders. Don't let the Jin soldiers under the city climb up! The Zaoyang soldiers retreat and prepare to fight!"
"Assemble a thousand Zaoyang soldiers to the top of the city and rotate with the auxiliary troops!"
Bian Xi gave the order loudly, and then he directly pulled out the long knife from his waist and said, "Follow me to the guard camp!"
"Third brother, you and Yihe lead the troops east to clear out the Jin soldiers in the upper city!"
Before he finished speaking, Bian Xi led the hundreds of personal guards and killed them westward along the city wall. General Yihe immediately ordered hundreds of soldiers to cover up the attack with Shen Tang!
At this time, although the Jin soldiers under the city wall were still suppressed and unable to climb up, there was already a steady stream of Jin soldiers jumping up to the top of the city on the ladder. And after they involved enough Song soldiers, there were more soldiers on the ladder below the city. Jin Bing also found an opportunity.
Shen Tang and Yihe took the lead, constantly hacking away at the golden soldiers one after another. However, as time went by, they clearly felt that the pressure was increasing.
It was just over two miles of city wall, and the distance between the two of them to the east was only four to five hundred steps. However, it took them a full quarter of an hour to fight to the end.
"Yihe, I move forward, you look behind! We change positions every quarter of an hour!" Looking back, there were more and more golden soldiers on the city wall. Shen Tang gave a sharp shout, tipped his toes, and lifted the weapon in his hand. Throw away the long knife and pick up a seven-foot-long sword!
"Kill!" The blade slashed lightly and struck directly on the chest of a golden soldier who rushed forward. Blood ripples sprayed directly, dyeing the blade red!
All Zaoyang soldiers were wearing black clothes and black armor, while most of the golden soldiers were wearing yellow leather armor! Therefore, on the entire city wall, golden soldiers like yellow sand first invaded the city wall, disrupting the original city defense. Then, Shen Tang The hundreds of soldiers he led were like black clouds, once again smoothing the yellow sand on the entire city wall.
The road back is obviously more difficult than when we came here! Kill one step at a time, almost every step forward a golden soldier will fall under Shen Tang's sword! No traces can be seen on the light armor on Shen Tang's body, it has already been destroyed Covered in blood! The originally sharp blade looked more like saw teeth now! Shen Tang gritted his teeth and swung the long knife again and again, feeling that his arms were as heavy as lead. However, at this moment, he was already numb. He just swung his sword again and again, cutting down all the yellow figures in front of him, until he finally exhausted himself or became a dead soul under the sword in the hands of Jin Bing.
At this time, no matter Shen Tang or the Song and Jin soldiers who were attacking and defending, they really had no more time to think about boring things like life and death. Everyone was like a machine, hacking or being killed by others.
The wide city wall, which is enough for several carriages to run parallel to each other, is already filled with fighting soldiers of Song and Jin Dynasties. Under the feet, the blood gathered together like a shallow red river, flowing towards the lower place!
"Clang!"
A long knife was used to hold the blade that was attacking Shen Tang, and he killed the golden soldier smoothly.
"Brother Shen, leave it to me!" But it was Yihe from behind who caught up.
Shen Tang didn't hesitate, turned around and retreated! He continued to pull to the rear of the team, joining up with a group of soldiers to kill the scattered missing golden soldiers from time to time!
When the two of them took turns to charge forward and returned to the center of the city wall, only a few dozen of the three to four hundred soldiers following them were left. Shen Tang and Yihe were even covered in blood, standing in the light armor. I don’t know how many scars I had after that.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Following the scattered footsteps, a thousand Zaoyang soldiers came to support them.
"Separate five hundred and go west to join the commander, and the rest will stay with me to the west!" Shen Tang ordered without hesitation.
Although Shen Tang is not a soldier of the Zaoyang Army, no matter the strategy or bravery he displayed, he is a soldier who has already conquered the Zaoyang Army. Therefore, after hearing his order, even the partial soldiers in the army The generals did not refute, but directly assigned their teams to cover up the two sides.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
"Blood, blood, blood!"
The battle of life and death was going on constantly. Looking at the soldiers lying in a pool of blood beside him, Shen Tang's originally passionate heart had already become numb. Maybe, he would become one of them in the next moment. Who knows? Woolen cloth?
"ah……"
A scream came, and Shen Tang turned around to look, only to see Yihe being hugged tightly by two golden soldiers. The scimitar in the hand of another golden soldier directly cut through the already shattered armor!
