The Red Sky Sword flew into the crowd of county soldiers, passed through the gap between the two county soldiers, and accurately inserted into the crossbowman's chest. Seeing that Liu Xiu had no weapon in his hand, the two county soldiers attacked him, and one of them struck with his sword.
He slashed, and the other person stabbed forward with a sword.
Liu Xiu quickly dodged to the side, and as he got out of the way, an arrow flew out from behind him, hitting a county soldier in the throat. The county soldier fell to the ground, and the other county soldier continued to slash with his sword.
Liu Xiu, the latter had already rushed towards him.
Bang!
The two of them collided. Liu Xiu was fine, but the county soldier flew backwards and crashed into the crowd of county soldiers, falling to the ground.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Xiu stepped forward, pulled out the Chixiao sword inserted into the crossbowman's chest, and slashed the surrounding county soldiers with all his strength.
Liu Xiu was holding the county soldiers in front, while Fu Jun was behind and shot down the enemy with arrows one after another. With the cooperation of the two of them, in just the blink of an eye, dozens of county soldiers who attacked the city were knocked to the ground.
At this time, more than a dozen Green Forest Army troops came running over, and together with Liu Xiu and Fu Jun, they withstood the torn city defense.
The county soldiers on this section of the city wall had just been pushed back. Liu Xiu looked up and saw that there were two more walls not far from him where county soldiers had climbed up.
The county soldiers who had just emerged, probably didn't even see the situation clearly on the top of the city, were stabbed squarely by the spears of the Green Forest Army, and fell down screaming.
However, after one county soldier fell down, several more county soldiers came up immediately, and they couldn't kill them all.
After the county soldiers attacked the city, they immediately drew their swords from their ribs and fought with the surrounding green forest troops. The two sides were fighting with swords and swords, and from time to time some people screamed and fell to the ground.
As more and more bodies fell on the city wall, the fierce battle between the two sides also became fierce.
Liu Xiu held the sword and rushed towards a group of county soldiers. As soon as he got closer, several long swords stabbed at him. Liu Xiu changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands, and swung it outward with all his strength.
Click, click, click! The three long swords that stabbed him were cut off by the Chixiao Sword. The county soldiers were shocked when they looked at the broken swords in their hands. Liu Xiu did not hesitate for a moment, and then swung his sword across the
, the sword edge instantly tore open the chests of three county soldiers.
Three county soldiers fell, and Liu Xiu stabbed forward again with his sword.
The few county soldiers behind him were unable to dodge, and some were pierced through the neck by the sword edge, and some were pierced through the chest by the sword edge. Liu Xiu's bravery boosted the morale of the surrounding Green Forest Army, and the people all shouted and surrounded him.
.
Dozens of county soldiers who stormed the city were surrounded and beaten by Liu Xiu and a dozen Green Forest troops.
On the battlefield, weapons are indeed one inch longer and one inch stronger. Compared with a spear, a sword is much shorter than a spear. It is this distance that can determine the life or death of both parties.
The green forest army's spear penetrated the county soldier's body, but the sword in the county soldier's hand could not penetrate the green forest army's body at all.
In fact, the county soldiers were also equipped with spears, but they had to climb ropes to attack the city. It was impossible to hold the spears in one hand and hold the ropes with one hand to climb. They had no choice but to give up the spears and go to the city with their swords.
Attack the city.
Liu Xiu and dozens of Green Forest Army soldiers killed all the dozens of county soldiers to the ground.
However, after the fierce battle, few people on the Green Forest Army side could still stand. Whether they were standing people or lying down, they were all covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it belonged to the enemy or one's own.
Liu Xiu was breathing heavily, and he only rested for a few seconds. A green forest soldier pointed at the northern section of the city wall and said urgently: "General Liu, the county soldiers are coming!"
Hearing the shouts, Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked up. Sure enough, on a section of the city wall a hundred meters away from them, a lot of county soldiers, at least one or two hundred people, surged up.
At this time, Liu Xiu was so tired that his head and body were covered with sweat, and his clothes inside and outside were soaked with sweat. He took a deep breath, cheered up, picked up the Red Sky Sword, and walked over.
Before he arrived, someone rushed over before him, Zangong. Zangong held a big hammer in his hand. When he got close to the crowd, he shouted: "Everyone, get out of my way!"
Upon hearing this, the Green Forest Army who were besieging the county soldiers retreated to both sides. Zanggong strode to the crowd of county soldiers, drew a circle in the air with his big hammer, and then swung it out sideways.
The county soldier who was the first among them tried to block with his sword, but he was undoubtedly using his arms as a chariot.
With a click, the sword blocking the hammer was bent. The hammer head continued to hit the side of the county soldier. The county soldier flew out and hit a row of his companions.
A row of people were knocked down with a hammer. The faces of the county soldiers in the second row suddenly changed, and everyone stabbed the Tibetan palace with their swords.
Zangong was still sweeping with his hammer. Dang, dang, dang! All the swords stabbing him were missed. Zangong held the hammer in both hands and pushed forward. The big hammer hit several county soldiers sideways.
Before the opponent could fall to the ground, Zangong roared, kicked the ground with all his strength, exerted force on his waist and eyes, and pushed forward with all his arms.
Such a large group of county soldiers was pushed back continuously by someone from the Tibetan Palace. People crowded and collided with each other, and the sounds of shouting and cursing could not be heard.
The people in the front were fine, but the people in the back were miserable. As the crowd moved backward, the people in the back had no way to retreat. They screamed and fell down along the city wall.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding green forest troops immediately realized that the opportunity had come. People swarmed forward and worked together to push the big hammer of the Tibetan Palace, pushing the crowd of county soldiers back desperately.
At first, sporadic county soldiers were pushed off the city wall, but soon, the county soldiers fell down row after row. As more and more county soldiers fell down, the resistance faced by Zanggong and others increased.
There are also fewer and fewer, and the pushing speed is faster.
Most of the two hundred county soldiers were pushed off the city wall by Zangong and others. Dozens of others fell to the ground, groaning and screaming in pain, unable to get up.
.
These county soldiers had their bones broken and their tendons broken by people's trampling, and they could not afford to be seriously injured.
The people showed no mercy to these county soldiers who were injured and unable to resist, and stabbed them to death one by one with spears.
All the county soldiers on this section of the city wall were killed and retreated. Before the people could take a breath, a large rain of arrows suddenly flew up from the city.
Even Zangong was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. Dozens of the surrounding green forest soldiers fell down with arrows. Zangong crouched down and hid behind the arrow stack. He first pulled out the arrow nailed to his shoulder.
, and then shouted at the people around him: "Avoid the arrows!"
This is just a corner of the battlefield. Fighting is happening everywhere here on the West City Wall. The county soldiers attack, are repelled, attack again, and are repelled again. Tug-of-war is repeated between the two sides. Such battles
, the casualties on both sides were heavy.
As for the county soldiers, they have already suffered four to five hundred casualties. Most of the injured were soldiers who fell from the city wall. The Green Forest Army also suffered more than fifty casualties. The corpses of both sides were scattered on the city wall, and the blood covered the city wall.
Dyeing into patches of dark red.
After several rounds of fierce attacks, the county soldiers who attacked the city finally retreated.
Liu Xiu and others did not even have the strength to stand up. They sat slumped on the city wall one by one, breathing heavily, and beads of sweat dripped down people's hair and chins.
After resting for a while, Liu Xiu heard that something was not right about the movement outside. He slowly took out the arrow stack and looked outside the city wall.
I saw some county soldiers carrying injured people down, another group of county soldiers resting outside the city, and a group of 20 or 30 county soldiers quietly circling northward.
It was already dark now, and anyone else would not be able to see the county soldiers that circled north. However, Liu Xiu's eyesight was amazing at night, and he could clearly see the small group of county soldiers.
He rolled his eyes and said to Zang Gong and Fu Jun beside him: "You stay in Xicheng, I will go to Beicheng to have a look!"
"General Liu?" Zangong asked nervously: "General Liu thinks the county soldiers will attack Beicheng?"
Liu Xiu smiled at Zangong and said, "The county soldiers are attacking the city from three sides. Only the north city is calm. I'm a little worried. I have to go and take a look!"
Zangong said: "General Liu, I will go with you!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him and said, "Jun Weng should stay here in Xicheng! I think it won't be long before the county soldiers launch an attack again!"
At this time, there were not many of them left, and Liu Xiu could not bring anyone else to Beicheng. Besides, the county soldiers moving north seemed to only have about twenty people, which was not a lot. He felt
I can handle it alone.
Liu Xiu took no one with him and ran along the city wall to the North City alone.
The more than 20 county soldiers who moved north were really heading for Beicheng.
People made a big circle and ran to Beicheng. They looked up at the top of the city and saw that there was not a single defender. The county soldiers looked at each other and ran towards the Beicheng wall together.
More than 20 county soldiers quietly came to the city wall, untied a large bundle of ropes from their backs, and threw the iron hooks towards the top of the city.
Click, click, click!
More than twenty iron hooks were hooked on the arrow stacks of the city wall. People first pulled hard, and then climbed up along the ropes.
Liu Xiu, who had already guessed the intentions of the county soldiers, was hiding on the north wall. Listening to the sound of the county soldiers climbing up below, he narrowed his eyes.
After waiting for a while, he felt that the opponent had climbed high enough. Liu Xiu suddenly stood up, raised his sword and cut off the iron hook closest to him.
"Ah——" With a scream, a county soldier who had climbed to a height of five or six meters, still holding on to the rope with both hands, fell from the air.
Liu Xiu didn't pause for a moment. He cut off more than a dozen iron hooks in one breath.
More than a dozen county soldiers, without even seeing the enemy, fell from the middle and upper sections of the city wall. When Liu Xiu was about to chop down other iron hooks, a county soldier had already climbed up to the top of the city wall.
After coming up, he immediately took off the crossbow from his waist, pointed it at Liu Xiu, and fired a crossbow arrow.
Liu Xiu swung the Chixiao sword horizontally, which was about to slash at the iron hook. With a clang, the blade of the sword struck the crossbow arrow, sending the crossbow arrow flying far away.
The county soldier immediately took out another crossbow arrow and placed it into the crossbow machine. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and rushed towards the county soldier with his sword in hand.
When he arrived in front of the county soldiers, the latter had just finished installing the crossbow arrows. He raised the crossbow machine, pointed it at Liu Xiu, who was very close at hand, and tried to pull the hanging knife.
Liu Xiu's body swayed, and while dodging to the side, he shot like lightning, holding the bottom of the crossbow, and then pulled it to the side, bang, the crossbow ejected, and the crossbow arrow shot was impartial, hitting a county soldier who had just climbed up the city wall.
chest.
The man was still standing on the arrow stack, eyes wide open, looking at the crossbow arrow stuck in his chest in disbelief, and fell straight back.
