The moment more than twenty armored infantry climbed up the city wall, in order to avoid accidental damage, the archers immediately shifted the focus of their attack elsewhere. With the shrill sound of horns, more infantry rushed up the Weirang Avenue like crazy,
They surged forward quickly along the route taken by the armored infantry with their corpses. However, their forward speed slowed down. The weirway was too narrow, so everyone could only move forward in order. However, the armored infantry who first climbed into the city could not.
After expanding their foothold and calming down from their excitement, they suddenly discovered that except for the short section of the city wall facing the Weirang Road, they couldn't go anywhere!
There is no road ahead. Wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor and jumping from the top of the city more than two feet high, even a god will fall to his death. There are sandbags as high as a person on the right, and the passages to other city sections have been blocked.
On the other side of the sandbags, countless spears flashed with cold light. On the left side of the watchtower, there was a scene that the armored infantrymen did not want to believe. Five or six rows of more than a hundred enemy elites were rushing out there.
Almost everyone held a thick spear in their hand.
The area on the top of the city where the enemy and we were fighting was very small. The more than 20 armored infantry who climbed up the city first were quickly killed by Xuzi, Yuwenshi and their men. While the enemy archers were gone,
Before making the correct response, the two men and their soldiers rushed to the edge of the city wall. Some rebel soldiers were trying to climb the city wall. They grabbed the city wall with their arms and then pushed their upper bodies up. Li Xu, Yu Wenshi and others rushed towards them.
, one on the left and one on the right, sending these cheap targets that can't be beaten onto the Huangquan Road.
The illusion that the city wall opposite Yuliang Road had been breached deceived many enemy troops. With victory in sight, they focused all their attention on the breach and even forgot to provide more support to the ladder climbers. Seizing the opportunity, Li Anyuan organized a wave of
A fierce counterattack, rolling logs and rocks fell one after another, smashing the enemy soldiers who were trying to climb up the ladder to the ground like overripe rotten pears.
"Splash with oil, use oil on the ladder!" Li Anyuan reminded his brothers loudly. This was the experience gained by Xiaoguo in the Sui Dynasty in exchange for his blood under the Liaodong City. It was particularly useful in dealing with city climbers. Several loyal and brave veterans slashed with knives.
Lift up the broken oil barrel and pour the whole barrel of vegetable oil onto the ladder. The enemy soldiers holding the ladder could not escape and were immediately bathed in oil. The feet of several enemy warriors who were still working hard on the ladder became slippery.
The climbing speed immediately slowed down. The brothers from the Xiongwu Camp stuck their torches out of the city wall and lit the ladder directly.
More than forty fire dragons jumped up one after another beside the city wall. From a distance, the scenery was very spectacular. "Fight the fire, put out the fire, you idiot! Without the ladder, I will tear your bones apart!" Li Mi, who was supervising the battle 200 steps away, was furious.
He lost all his demeanor and shouted loudly, reminding the soldiers to bring down the hard-earned ladders and use the wet mud on the ground to put out the fire. "Fight the fire, put out the fire first!" Li Mi's soldiers shouted in unison, conveying the general's order to the bottom of the city.
The ladders fell down one after another, and the attack pressure on the city head was greatly reduced. More stones and rolling logs fell down, sending the rebels near the base of the city wall flying.
"Archers, archers, shoot, shoot!" Han Shihe pointed at the top of the city with his horse and ordered loudly. The archers who woke up quickly bent their bows and suppressed the suddenly arrogant defenders behind the crenellations again. Yuliang Road
Nearby, they did not dare to cover it with arrows. The enemy and we were too close there, and they could not guarantee not to hurt their brothers.
"It's almost time, get ready to retreat to the enemy tower!" Yu Wenshiji used his spear to force away the enemy soldiers closest to the city wall, turned to Li Xu and shouted.
"Brothers, retreat to the enemy tower!" Li Xu used a black knife to sweep off the other half of the head near the city head, and then issued a retreat order.
The brothers in the Xiongwu Camp covered each other and retreated into the enemy tower, leaving a small section of the city wall covered with corpses to the rebels again. Seeing the incredible behavior of the defenders, several rebels who finally rushed to the wall
Jun actually lost the courage to climb up and stood on the fish beam road, stunned.
"Weirang Road, Weirang Road!" Li Mi was so angry that he dropped his feather fan, grabbed the command flag and waved it with all his strength.
Seeing the commander's instructions, the archers turned their horn bows again and covered the empty blood-red city wall opposite the Weirang Road with white feathers.
"Beat the drum for me. Whoever enters the city first will be promoted to the third level, and he can take the wealth in the city!" Seeing that the resistance on the top of the city disappeared again, Li Mi shouted to the messengers beside him.
The messenger mounted his horse and quickly sent out the latest instructions from the military advisor.
The sound of war drums was as fast as thunder, urging the soldiers who poured onto the fish beam road to speed up and die. Under the coercion of military orders and the temptation of the desire to get rich, the few armored infantry at the front hesitated and put their left hands on the city wall.
While trying to raise their bodies upward, they danced wildly with their right hands in front of them. The defender's reaction once again surprised them. The soldiers in the enemy tower may have been too tired and did not launch a counterattack immediately.
"Brothers, go up!" A man in brigade uniform shouted and struggled to climb over the city wall. Being clever, he did not try to seize the watch tower, but quickly ran to the other side of the city wall under the cover of his companions.
"They're scared, come on!" On the Yuliang Road, they saw the loose rebels in front making a loud noise. They climbed up the city top one after another and rushed towards the crenellations on the inside of the city wall.
"I will lead the charge to kill, and you will take control here!" Li Xu shouted to Yu Wenshiji. With a wave of his hand, he led his bodyguards to jump out of the enemy building again.
His soldiers are all the strongest men in a hundred, and the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies are also of the highest quality in the Xiongwu camp. With the local numerical advantage, the enemy troops on the city wall are no match at all. Soon, they climbed up the city wall.
The group of rebel soldiers were killed and dispersed, and the foothold they finally gained returned to the feet of the defenders again.
"Seal the outer wall, seal the outer wall!" Li Xu chopped down his opponent, turned around and shouted an order.
"Brothers, close the door and beat the dogs!" Zhang Xiu led more than 20 personal guards to rush to the edge of the city wall, and through the battlements, they tried their best to force away the incoming enemy soldiers one by one.
Li Xu led Zhou Daniu and others to turn around and attack a few fish that had slipped through the net on the inside of the city wall. The rebels could not resist and were knocked down one after another.
"Jump off the city!" Seeing that the momentum was not going well, the enemy brigade shouted loudly. They held the rope with both hands, exerted force on their feet, and fell down along the crenellations of the city wall. This position was close to the city gate, and there were enough brothers to slide down with them. Everyone
He had the opportunity to open the city gate and let in more brothers. While pulling the rope to slide down quickly, he was excitedly looking forward to the moment of unparalleled feats. He didn't even notice that the defenders above him ignored his actions.
Pay attention, as if he has become a dead person.
The brave Lv Li finally stepped on the ground, threw off the rope, and rushed towards the city gate. After rushing a few steps, he and a dozen equally brave brothers were stunned. Sandbags, densely packed sandbags, were piled up from the ground.
We reached the top of the city gate cave. Not to mention the dozen warriors who jumped down, even the three thousand elites who jumped down followed them. For a while, they were helpless with these sandbags.
Hundreds of spears surrounded them from all directions. Qin Gang, who joined the army in Mingfa, and his reserve brothers, looked mockingly at the guy who had thrown himself into the trap without saying a word. "Crack!" the rebel brigade leader heard behind him.
There was the sound of a weapon falling to the ground, "Cang!" and soon there was another sound. "Ah--" He let out a long roar in despair, turned the knife head, and broke his own neck.
After harvesting more than fifty lives, Li Xu withdrew back to the enemy tower. There were not many armored soldiers on the Yuliang Road. He and Yuwen Shiji's plan was to quickly consume and kill all the elite rebels.
, the rebels' attack power will be greatly reduced. As the core of Xiongwu Camp, Yu Wenshiji and him can more easily dispatch manpower to deal with abnormal situations elsewhere on the city wall.
"I'll handle the next round of attacks. You siege the formation in the enemy building!" Yu Wenshi quickly greeted Li Xu and discussed with him in a low voice. There were still several hours before dark, and the defensive task was still very arduous. Li Mi was not
A guy who easily admits defeat, Yuwenshiji and Xuzi must take turns fighting to save their energy.
"Okay!" Li Xu nodded and responded with one word. The fight just now was too violent, and the wounds he suffered yesterday were pulled again. The sweat penetrated the cloth bandage, making the wounds painful and itchy.
Yu Wenshiji gently patted Xu Zi's shoulder, turned around and walked to the junction of the watch tower and the city wall to prepare. The archers under Li Mi once again covered this section of the city wall with feather arrows. After the shooting was over, a new round
The battle will begin.
"I wonder what the situation is like over there, Lieutenant Li?" Yuwen Shiji raised his head and looked towards the city in the distance. The enemy's ladder was erected again, blocking the city wall. Countless rebel soldiers climbed up the ladder like ants.
, moving upward slowly. The defenders' cold arrows and stones kept hitting down, knocking the fastest man to dust.
"What are they fighting for?" Yu Wenshiji suddenly felt that the enemy's behavior was very ridiculous. It seemed as if they were rushing towards a dead end. It is said that the same is true for ants moving. As long as the leading ant crawls forward, even if there is an oil pan in front, other ants will also move forward.
Not afraid. The absurd thought that suddenly surged in his mind distracted him, and he was almost cut off by the arrow that bounced off the ground.
"No matter what he is fighting for, it is still about fighting for the word!" Yu Wenshi muttered angrily and flattened the long stick in his hand. The long stick in his hand was soaked in more than twenty years of hard work, starting from the age of eight.
, I kept practicing hard under the supervision of my father and brother.
"You are the son of the Yuwen family, and you do everything for the family!" He was taught this way as his height was less than one-tenth of his height.
"Shiji, do you remember your last name?" After the eunuch who conveyed the imperial edict of marriage to the emperor left, his father shouted to the still excited Yuwen Shiji.
"Boys from the Yuwen family, follow me!" Yuwen Shiji sneered and pointed his long spear straight ahead. (To be continued)
