After several loud noises, there were two more Chu army Jinglan vehicles outside the city. They advanced to a sufficient distance and placed the lifted pedals on the wall stacks.
At this time, on the other side of the platform, countless Chu soldiers were ready to launch another wave of offensive against the city wall.
At this moment, the Wei rangers and militiamen on the city wall felt desperate, but despair did not prevent them from making heroic actions.
Immediately, several rangers jumped on the pedals of the two well-mounted carriages with sharp swords in hand, and rushed towards the opposite side.
I saw the two rangers at the front, holding sharp swords and shields, fighting bravely towards the oncoming Chu army. Behind them, there were several more rangers holding shields with one hand and holding tightly with the remaining hand.
Holding an oil tank, he prepared to repeat the same trick and burn the two wells.
"I am the "Chang Chai" under Young Master Wei Yu, and I am Fan Dong in Yanggu County! You will die if you stand in my way!"
A ranger shouted and took the lead in fighting to the front.
It has to be said that the swordsmanship of the Wei Dynasty rangers is superb, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the elite soldiers of the Wei State. Only on that volley platform that is only about one foot wide, the ranger who calls himself Fan Dong of Yanggu County actually uses his
With his own strength, he was able to block the Chu soldiers who were dozens of times his own, and he had a posture where one man was able to block the way and no one could get through.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
On the Jinglan chariot, a Chu army general yelled angrily.
After hearing the general's order, the Chu soldiers on the pedals swarmed towards the ranger Fan Dong. What they didn't expect was that Fan Dong moved lightly on the pedals. While avoiding all attacks, he could also take the opportunity to do so.
Some soldiers of the Chu army who had lost their center of gravity were bumped or kicked, causing them to fall onto the flying platform and fall to death on the ground.
"Shoot him!"
The Chu army general urged angrily.
At the command, the crossbowmen of the Chu army on top of the Jinglan cart aimed their crossbows at the ranger Fan Dong. Although the latter had sensed the danger in advance and immediately protected his body with the shield in his hand, he still could not avoid his arms and thighs.
Everywhere was hit by the dense crossbow bolts.
"...Damn it!"
Ranger Fan Dong cursed secretly, but the pride in his heart did not weaken at all.
He firmly believed that he was doing something righteous - to defend his homeland.
Well, although they, the rangers from the Wei State, had until recently lived in short houses in the back streets of Daliang, they had to wrestle with the local Wei State rangers from time to time in order to 'get' a certain person.
The shops on the street have the right to collect "protection money", and even when they see the guardsmen making routine inspections, they are like a mouse seeing a cat, shrinking its head and fleeing quietly.
But even so, the Weiguo Ranger Fan Dong still believes that the city of Daliang is the second hometown of him and his brothers!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
He shouted the word "kill" in his mouth, and kept approaching the Jinglan car with his feet. Although he was seriously injured one after another, Ranger Fan Dong still moved forward step by step with difficulty.
retreat?
Doesn't exist!
Since you have eaten the rice in Daliang City, as a righteous man who defends the country, you should protect this city! Protect those Wei people who usually sigh and sigh because he collected the "protection money".
"ah--!"
Furious, Ranger Fan Dong placed the shield in his hand across his chest, roared, and pushed forward with all his strength.
He saw the Chu soldiers in front of him falling off the steps one after another due to pushing each other.
"puff--"
A spear pierced Ranger Fan Dong's chest and abdomen.
He lowered his head and glanced at his cloth, which was quickly stained red with blood. The expression on his face did not change at all.
"Ahhhhh-"
At the last moment, he pushed hard against many Chu soldiers in front of him and pushed more than twenty Chu soldiers off the pedal. In the end, he himself was unable to continue, staggered, and fell off the pedal together.
"It's up to you!"
He shouted to the rangers on the pedals with a smile on his face.
A soldier dies for righteousness, but he has no regrets even though he dies!
"Bang--"
The heavy object falls to the ground and has no life left.
At the same time, on the pedals, several rangers who had just followed Fan Dong rushed into the Jinglan car. They saw three rangers desperately blocking the Chu army from all directions. Although their bodies were stabbed with swords and guns, their bodies were covered in blood.
Still not retreating.
The rangers holding the oil cans immediately poured kerosene on the Jinglan car, took out the flame tongues they carried with them, and lit it.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Seeing the fire quickly filling the Jinglan chariot, the Chu army general cursed, pointed in the direction of the city wall and shouted: "Charge over! Rush up to the city wall..."
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, because he saw a ranger struggling to use his sharp sword to chop at the joint between the pedals and the well car, trying to destroy the road leading to the city wall.
"Stop him!"
The Chu army general exclaimed.
"Puff puff puff——"
Several spears pierced the body of the ranger. However, a smile appeared on the ranger's face because he had cut off the joint of the pedal and pushed it down.
"Madman...haven't these people ever thought about going back?"
Looking at the corpses of nearly ten rangers, and then looking at the fire that could not be extinguished in the Jinglan car, the Chu army general was shocked and confused. After a while, he reluctantly gave the order: "Everyone, get out."
At the same time, another well-mounted chariot was also destroyed by the rangers and Daliang militiamen in the same way, causing the Wei soldiers on the city wall to cheer loudly.
Yes, on the south wall of Daliang City, all the city defense weapons that could restrict the Chu army's carriages had been lost, but there were still living people on the city!
But unfortunately, about a few dozen feet away from here, the rangers and militiamen on that section of the city wall were lost. The reason was that the Chu State general Zi Che Ji was on the well carriage.
"kill!"
A steady stream of Chu troops followed the treads of the Jinglan chariots to fight their way to the city. During this period, Chu general Zi Che Ji also stepped onto the city wall with a bloody sword.
"It's just a matter of storming the city wall, how difficult can it be?"
Looking around, Chu general Che Ji really couldn't figure out why Doulian, Niyu, Yuji and other generals were defeated one after another. It was obvious that almost all the Wei army (Jiang Guards) on the city wall had been killed, and only a group of rangers were left.
, just militia.
Suddenly, Zi Cheji became alert. He noticed that the soldiers who followed him up the city wall seemed to be blocked by someone.
"That's..."
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw a Wei general leading about two hundred Wei soldiers, fighting hard towards this side.
The Wei general who was leading the army was very skilled in martial arts. With just one sword and one shield, he was able to kill all directions, and the soldiers of Chu were retreating steadily.
"The general will be named!"
"That's right Jin Ju from Wei!"
In the blink of an eye, Jin Ju, the commander of the Daliang imperial guards, rushed to Zi Cheji and slashed at the latter with the sharp sword in his hand.
However, as a general of the Chu State, Zi Cheji also had outstanding military strength. He fought against Jin Ju for more than ten rounds and did not lose at all.
But gradually, Zi Cheji became a little unable to resist.
It wasn't that Jin Ju was much stronger than him, let alone that Jin Ju's martial arts were outstanding, Zi Cheji just couldn't withstand Jin Ju's desperate fight that seemed to be about to perish with the enemy.
Suddenly, Zi Cheji, who was alert in his heart, subconsciously turned his head. The next moment, the sharp sword in Jin Ju's hand slashed through his helmet. Not only did his helmet fly away, but he even cut Zi Cheji's ear.
, causing the latter's left ear to suddenly turn red.
"General!"
Several Chu army crossbowmen nearby screamed in surprise and shot at Jin Ju without hesitation. However, they heard a muffled groan. Although Jin Ju had protected his vital parts in time, a crossbow bolt still passed through his right leg.
, stuck in the meat.
"Hoo, ho..."
Zi Cheji covered his painful left ear and looked up and down at the Wei general in front of him. He saw numerous scratches on his armor and various degrees of injuries on various parts of his body, but his eyes were still firm and clear.
A fierce general at that time.
"Aren't you going to surrender? This city is destined to be undefendable. If you are willing to surrender, I can keep you safe..." Zi Cheji advised.
"Vote to your mother!" Jin Ju yelled and took the lead in attacking.
It has to be said that there was an arrow stuck in his right leg, which had a great impact on Jin Ju. Whether he was gathering strength or turning around, he was much weaker, so that he was suppressed by Zi Cheji.
"You really don't want to surrender?"
I saw Zi Cheji suppressing Jin Ju's sword with the sharp sword in his hand, and threatening: "I respect you as a fierce general, so I am recruiting you. If you are unwilling to surrender, you will die by my sword..."
"Bah!" Jin Ju spat on Zi Cheji's face.
Zi Cheji was stunned for a while when he saw this, and then an angry look appeared on his face: "You deserve to die!"
And while Jin Ju and Zi Cheji were fighting, there was a Imperial Guard soldier sitting paralyzed on the ground with his back against the wall near the wall, with an arrow clearly stuck in his chest.
He slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Jin Ju in danger under Zi Cheji's suppression.
"That's... General Jin Ju. Could it be that the person opposite is a general of the Chu army... Ah, General Jin Ju's situation is not optimistic. I should give him a helping hand..."
Thinking of this, he struggled to stand up, but his body was too weak to move at all.
Suddenly, he saw a military crossbow left at his hand. After being stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and looked at the crossbow bolt inserted into his chest.
With difficulty, he raised his right hand and used all his strength to pull out the crossbow arrow from his chest bit by bit. Then, with trembling hands, he loaded the blood-stained crossbow arrow into the crossbow.
Due to lack of strength, he failed several times, but in the end, with an indescribable force pouring out of his chest, he finally loaded the crossbow bolt.
Immediately, he raised the crossbow with trembling hands and shot the last arrow of his life towards Zi Cheji.
At the same time, Zi Cheji had completely suppressed Jin Ju. He raised his sword high and was about to swing the sword to give the Wei general in front of him a final blow. Suddenly his body trembled. He didn't realize it until he reacted.
He was hit by an arrow in his lower back.
He turned around subconsciously, but at this moment, Jin Ju stood up with a roar, thrust out his sword, and while throwing Zi Cheji to the ground, he stabbed the sword in his hand fiercely.
into the latter's body.
"puff--"
Zi Cheji spat out a mouthful of blood with a look of disbelief on his face. He simply couldn't imagine that Jin Ju, who was already as good as a dead dog, could still have such strength.
"Hoo, ho..."
After a while, Jin Ju gasped and stood up, looking around, wondering who saved his life, but suddenly he saw a forbidden man covered in blood sitting paralyzed by a wall not far away.
The guard lowered his head, lifeless.
However, this soldier still held a crossbow in his right hand that was hanging on the ground, and his finger was still on the trigger.
"..."
Jin Ju was silent for a moment, and suddenly chopped off Zi Cheji's head with a sword. He immediately raised the head high and shouted at the nearby Wei and Chu soldiers: "Zi Cheji, the general of the Chu army, was beheaded by me, Jin Ju..."
Kill!"
Immediately, he looked down at the dead head in his hand.
"Where the people's hearts are, the city is there... It's not that easy for your Chu army to capture this city!"
After that, he threw the head aside.
At the same time, at the Bolangsha River Port northwest of Daliang City, tens of thousands of Sichuan and Luo cavalry poured into the river port and launched an attack on the Chu soldiers in the river port.
At this time, on the official road from Chenggao Pass to Bolangsha River Port, a four-horse king's chariot was slowly advancing.
On the king's chariot, Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State, stood on the chariot leaning on a sharp sword, looking in the direction of Bolangsha River Port with a gloomy face. Then, he turned his gaze to the distant beams with a gloomy and terrifying expression.
And behind this king's chariot, there was a crowd of people roaring like a mountain and a tsunami, like a vast ocean, endless, with no end in sight.
At this time, there was only one day left before Wei Wang Zhao Run led his troops to arrive in Daliang.
