The military orders of the King of Han were naturally effective.
As soon as Zhu Heng received the order, he personally came to the city wall, raised his sword and held down the formation, and roared to his soldiers:
"Listen to me, anyone who takes a step back will die!" Zhu Heng slashed a soldier who came down from the ladder to death.
"The first who is afraid will die!" Zhu Heng hacked to death another soldier who did not dare to step forward.
"Those who fail to kill the enemy will die!" Zhu Heng beheaded several people in a row, making his soldiers understand completely - advancing is death, retreating is death, no matter how it is, there is death! Only by conquering the city wall can there be a way to survive!
With this awareness, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty army did not care about life and death at all. They screamed, held up thick wooden shields, and rushed to the top of the city crazily again. By this time, the musketeers had disappeared, and they were waiting for them.
, it is the death squad led by Cheng Zheng himself!
Cheng Zheng was already furious. He didn't expect that he had already sworn to accept the order and the city wall had been lost at the beginning of the battle. Where would he put his face? The boy named Xue was still worried that the world would not be in chaos, so he sent someone to ask him if he needed it.
Don't need support? The depressed Cheng Zheng almost vomited blood and kicked the blind guy off the city wall, and then he personally led the death squad to top it!
After a bloody battle just now, the soldiers of the Prince's Army also knew that they would die if they didn't fight hard! This time they also went crazy, with blood-red eyes and roaring towards the enemy!
When the two sides collide, sparks will burst out!
The city wall completely turned into a field of blood and iron. Everyone was howling and roaring in an inhuman voice. They slashed with knives, kicked with their feet, and hit their heads. They were no longer even human beings. They became
A ferocious beast!
Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like two ferocious long snakes entangled together, biting and strangling desperately on the top of the city...
One after another, the Han army was cut off from the city head and piled up like dumplings around the siege vehicle, gradually burying the vehicle body...
The top of the city was even more miserable. Layers upon layers of blood could cover the feet of the defenders, and then flowed down the cracks in the bricks, dyeing most of the city wall a terrifying black-red. Layers of mutilated corpses
Layers upon layers of dead and injured people were carried down. Anyway, no one of the original defenders was left. Even the second wave of support came up, and there was not much left...
However, the huge sacrifice is not meaningless. The sundial has already pointed to the noon position, and the Zhenjiang city wall is still firmly in the hands of the Prince's Army!
Seeing that there was no time left, Zhu Heng became completely red-eyed. He pulled off the cloak on his shoulders and rushed onto the siege vehicle with a wrought copper hammer. Upon seeing this, his soldiers hurriedly tried to stop the general.
Come down, but it's too late...
Zhu Heng was extremely powerful and highly skilled in martial arts. He rushed to the city wall in a few seconds, rounded up the cooked copper hammer, and smashed it with one blow! The copper hammer weighing forty or fifty kilograms was danced by him like a wheel, and the wind roared.
It whirred, and if it got even a little bit, it would be knocked out! Or the muscles and bones would be broken! Some unlucky guys would even be swept to the head, and the skull would be like a smashed watermelon, with brains splattering all over the place!
After three or five exertions of all his strength, Zhu Heng suddenly cleared out the ten-foot space that was originally filled with people in front of him!
How about the bravery of the soldiers? Seeing that their generals were so brave, the morale of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty was also greatly boosted. They rushed to the top of the city crazily to firmly hold on to this hard-won position!
Cheng Zheng's hair was on fire when he saw this. If he didn't knock down the guy with the copper hammer, this section of the city wall would be lost! Then the Thousand Miles of Embankment would be destroyed in a hole!
"Shoot them to death!" Cheng Zheng shouted sternly, regardless of whether he might accidentally injure one of his own, while holding up his Xuanhua ax, he rushed towards Zhu Heng!
Even if Zhenjiang City falls into disrepair, its perfect defensive structure will not disappear. There is also a seven or eight-foot-high female wall on the inside of the city wall, with arrow stacks on it. Archers will use this as a basis to shoot arrows down the city!
The advantage of this is that it will not affect other soldiers defending the city. Both sides can do their own thing without interfering with each other. However, Cheng Zheng's order at this moment is to let the archers shoot arrows on the city wall!
Looking at the chaotic mess of the soldiers of the two armies, the archers were really dizzy. In this case, it is simply impossible to avoid accidentally injuring one's own side!
However, a section of the city wall has been taken away. If there is no support, more and more enemy soldiers will swarm up the city and occupy more of the city wall!
In desperation, the archers had no choice but to grit their teeth, aim their bows and arrows at the enemy soldiers below the city instead of aiming at the top of the city, and then draw their bows and shoot!
Bows and arrows were shot at the occupied city wall from all directions, hitting the bodies of countless comrades. However, more bows and arrows still accurately landed on the Han army that had just established a foothold. Many Han soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.
Shot in the head!
Zhu Heng hurriedly swung the cooked copper hammer so that the water would not enter, blocking countless arrows for himself and the soldiers behind him!
While he was trying his best to block the arrow, Zhu Heng suddenly shook his hands and heard a clang. A Xuanhua ax weighing 30 kilograms hit his copper hammer hard!
Zhu Heng's jaw suddenly burst open and blood flowed out! But he was worthy of having experienced hundreds of battles. He didn't care about the injuries on his hands. As soon as he let go, he held on tight and swept the copper hammer across, intending to hit the enemy who sneaked up on him.
!
Cheng Zheng, apart from anything else, had a Xuanhua ax that he had practiced since he was a child. It was a superb ax, and it was probably not much worse than his ancestor Cheng Yaojin! When he saw the opponent's copper hammer coming towards him, he rubbed his hand, and the ax surface
When it was flattened, Zhu Heng's strength was diverted as it touched the bone of the copper hammer, and the hammer head brushed against his armpit and swept over!
Cheng Zheng's ax went straight towards Zhu Heng's hand!
Zhu Heng didn't expect that this reckless man could make the big ax so delicate, and he was immediately in a hurry - seeing that his fingers were about to be sliced off, he had no choice but to let go of the hammer and withdraw his hand!
Zhu Heng originally wanted to loosen the hammer and wait until the ax had been wiped before holding it, but he didn't expect that Cheng Zheng's ax was as flexible as chopsticks. He pushed the ax forward and pulled it back while rubbing his hands, and the inside of the ax blade was hooked.
He picked up the hammer handle! He gently pulled it into his arms, and got ahead of Zhu Heng and snatched the hammer from him!
As soon as they met, his opponent took the hammer away from him. Zhu Heng became so angry that he rushed towards him with his bare hands!
Cheng Zheng's ax struck forward and cut Zhu Heng in half in the air!
Seeing that the opponent's general was killed, the morale of the prince's army was greatly boosted. However, the Han army suddenly lost its backbone. After a long period of decline, the prince's army was driven off the city wall again!
Seeing that the critical situation was finally resolved, the ax in Cheng Zheng's hand fell to the ground...
"General!" The soldiers exclaimed, and then they discovered that Cheng Zheng had been hit by an arrow at the position of his shoulder blade on his back!
? One day, just like this, repeated attacks and losses, recaptures and losses were cruelly strangulating the lives of the soldiers of both armies! Until the sun turned west, the Zhenjiang city wall was still firmly in the hands of the Prince's Army, allowing His Highness the King of Han to
The order to "capture the city wall before noon" became empty words. But this time, His Highness the King of Han's military law was not implemented - because Zhu Heng had already been killed in the attack on the city.
Everyone saw it. Seeing that the commander could not complete the task, he actually chose to charge in person, and finally died on the top of the city...
Under the banner of the King of Han's army, His Highness the King of Han, sitting on the throne, stared at the Zhenjiang city wall that had become a Shura field, and said bitterly: "I didn't expect that these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are really tenacious..."
"After all, it's Zhu Gaochi who is famous for defending the city..." Wang Bin sighed.
"Boss, that loser..." Zhu Gaoxu spat: "This is not his command, and the battle to defend Peiping was not his fault."
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Wang Bin returned to the topic and asked with a solemn expression: "It is no longer possible to capture Zhenjiang City in one go."
"Continue to attack with all our strength." Zhu Gaoxu said expressionlessly: "We will consume them to death!"
"Yes." Wang Bin was not surprised at all by the decision of the King of Han. This prince who regarded human life as trivial would kill even his friends from childhood to adulthood. How could he care about the lives of soldiers?
Seeing that the sun is about to set, the battle still has no intention of stopping, because the Han army is still tireless and not afraid of death's attack, so the prince's army can only stay with it to the end...
"Replace Xin Ziying, rush to repair the city wall, and replenish equipment! Continue fighting!"
Mo Wen's voice was hoarse and he hadn't had a sip of water since morning.
An officer took the order and left. He would lead his men to replace the Xin Ziying camp that suffered heavy casualties and continue to withstand the seemingly endless onslaught of the Han army.
As for the Xinzi Camp, it was actually at noon that it replaced the Cziying Camp that was almost completely wiped out...
Only half of the Xinziying officers and soldiers who had withdrawn were covered with wounds and were mentally disturbed. Each of them had a ferocious look on his face, and even screamed for death when they came down from the city. Or they had straight eyes and were mumbling words of thanks.
The sky is full of gods and Buddhas. No matter which one they are, they are all exhausted and have no strength to even walk down the tower. Many people have garlic mixed with their legs and just roll down the stairs...
Seeing these soldiers who seemed to have crawled back from hell, the prince, accompanied by Jian Yi and Zhu Zhanqun, climbed onto the tower, and his heart felt like a knife. He knew very well that this army had reached its limit, and if it continued to fight, it might kill him at any time.
collapse……
A soldier stumbled and was about to fall in front of him. Jian Yi hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "Don't bump into His Highness!"
"Get out of the way." The prince repelled Jian Yi and supported the soldier with his own hands. Looking at the young and frightened face, the prince patted his shoulder and said warmly: "I have someone prepare hot soup and rice.
Go eat something quickly and have a good rest..."
"Thank you, Your Highness..." The soldier thanked him excitedly and left under the watch of the prince.
The prince sighed and went up to the city.
"Why did your highness come up? Please get down quickly, it's too dangerous here." Mo Wen was shocked when he saw the prince coming. Although he was relatively far back, there were still arrows and flying rocks flying from time to time. If the prince was hurt, it would be very dangerous.
