Four hundred and thirtieth chapters city head bloody battle
The soldiers under Liu Xiu now include the county troops he brought from Zhongshan County, less than 2,000 people excluding casualties; the Geng family led by Geng Chun, more than 2,000 people excluding casualties; and the county soldiers who surrendered in Jiangcheng are more than 2,000.
There were less than a thousand people serving in the Yamen; there were more than a thousand strong men in Jiangcheng who volunteered to join the army, and all together, there were about 6,000 people in total.
Seeing that Wang Lang's army outside the city was approaching, and it was less than fifty steps away from the city wall of Jiancheng, Liu Xiu waved his sword forward and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"
Following his order, the defenders on top of the city picked up their crossbows, aimed at Wang Lang's army outside the city, and moved their hanging knives.
Bang, bang, bang! The sound of the crossbow machine was heard continuously, and on the top of the city, crossbow arrows rained down into Wang Lang's army's square formation.
Ding, clang, clang! The crossbow arrows hit the shield, and crisp sounds came one after another. Puff, puff, puff! The muffled sound of arrows penetrating armor also continued one after another. As the soldiers of Wang Lang's army advanced, some of them fell to the ground from time to time.
It can be said that the defenders were able to have so many crossbows and arrows because of Yan Feng's contribution.
Yan Feng not only hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Yicheng, but also hoarded a lot of materials, including thousands of armors and weapons. Now Liu Xiu used these things to deal with Yan Feng himself.
Wang Lang's army continued to advance despite the rain of arrows. When the people were less than ten steps away from the city wall, they all raised the ladders and began to charge forward.
People ran to the bottom of the city wall and worked together to put ladders on the city wall. Then, the soldiers used all their strength to climb up crazily.
The defenders on the top of the city either fired arrows or threw rolling logs or stones. Soldiers were knocked down from the ladders one after another like dumplings.
Although the strong men who participated in assisting the city defense did not know how to fight, they were not idle either and kept transporting rolling logs and stones to the top of the city.
Others lit firewood, placed a large iron pot on top, and added water to the iron pot. After the water boiled, people worked together to lift the large iron pot, walked to the arrow stack, and poured pots of boiling water into it.
outside the city.
The soldiers of Wang Lang's army who were directly poured with boiling water were burned until they screamed and screamed. In an instant, it was as if the camp of Wang Lang's army under the city wall had been blown up.
However, the siege of the city by 30,000 troops was, after all, huge and no small matter.
The main reason was that the offensive of Wang Lang's army was continuous. The defenders repelled one group of enemy troops and had no time to rest. The second group of enemy troops attacked again. They finally repelled this group of enemy troops, and there was a third group behind them.
Dial, the fourth dial is waiting.
The battle between the two sides lasted from morning to noon. At this time, there were piles of corpses on top of the city and below the city. Whether it was Liu Xiujun defending the city or Yan Fengjun attacking, the casualties so far in the battle were considerable.
.
When the battle reaches this level, the two sides are not only competing for combat power and fighting spirit, but also for willpower to see who can grit their teeth and persevere better.
Unable to attack for a long time, Yan Feng was extremely anxious. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he had already stood about a hundred steps away from the city. He held the sword in both hands, leaning on the ground, and frowning at the battle ahead.
.
Seeing his own offensive gradually weakening again, Yan Feng took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted: "Zhang Ying, where is Zhang Jin?"
"The general is here!" Following the words, two generals came out and saluted Yan Feng.
Yan Feng said with a serious face: "You two each lead three thousand soldiers and horses, replace Liu Xun and Tian Zhao!"
"General, I obey!" Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin both agreed, turned around and walked away, then each ordered three thousand soldiers and began to charge towards Jincheng.
Liu Xun and Tian Zhao, who had fought to exhaustion and suffered heavy casualties, were replaced by Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin.
Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin's siege was much more fierce than Liu Xun and Tian Zhao's.
These two men took the lead and rushed forward risking their lives. Even if the general was like this, how could the soldiers below be greedy for life and fear death? People threw away their arms and followed Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin, rushing forward with all their strength.
Attack on the city.
The offensive of Wang Lang's army suddenly became fierce, and the defenders gradually could not resist it. Soon, a soldier of Wang Lang's army climbed up the ladder to the top of the city.
As soon as he jumped down from the arrow stack, three crossbow arrows were fired from all around, killing him to the ground. But then, the second Wang Lang's soldier climbed over the arrow stack and jumped onto the city wall.
The defenders holding crossbows reinstalled the crossbows while retreating continuously. The defenders holding spears rushed up and stabbed the enemy soldier to the ground.
Before they could pull their spears out of the enemy soldier's body, a third enemy soldier jumped up again.
This man was holding a long sword and stabbed a defender in the body.
While the latter screamed and fell to the ground, the soldier of Wang Lang's army was also stabbed to the ground by two spears. But the fourth, fifth... more and more soldiers of Wang Lang's army climbed up the ladder.
They went to the top of the city and started a close-quarters fight with the defenders.
The two sides fought in a melee and fought fiercely. The city defense here was torn open, causing the nearby defenders to disperse their energy. Gradually, more soldiers of Wang Lang's army attacked the city.
Zhang Ying also climbed up the ladder. He held a long sword and slashed several defenders in succession. Then he looked around and shouted: "Find Liu Xiu for me. Today I will take Liu Xiu's child's head."
class!"
The reason why he and Zhang Jin fought so ferociously was because they wanted to avenge their brothers. Zhang Ying was the eldest son in the family, Zhang Jin was the third eldest son in the family, and Zhang Ji, who was killed by Geng Chun, was the eldest son in the family.
's dick.
Their brother died tragically in Jincheng and his head was missing. Naturally, Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin both brutally tortured Liu Xiu.
Just when Zhang Ying and his soldiers were preparing to attack the city gate tower, Wang Ba rushed over with a big hammer.
When Wang Lang's army approached, Wang Ba shouted loudly and swept out with his big hammer.
The soldier who bore the brunt of the attack wanted to block it with his sword, but there was a muffled sound in his ears. The soldier flew out with his sword, and with him, he hit a group of companions nearby.xdw8
A soldier was struggling to get up when Wang Ba hit him with a hammer. Bang, the hammer hit the soldier's head squarely. The helmet and the skull inside were smashed into a discus of blood and flesh.
Seeing this, Wang Lang's troops around him were all horrified. People looked at Wang Ba as if he was a god descending to earth, and they couldn't help but retreat.
Wang Ba snorted coldly, and continued to rush towards the opponent's crowd with his hammer. Before the people arrived, the hammer arrived first, and the hammer swept into the crowd. What fell was not one or two people, but a large group of people.
Wang Lang's troops who attacked the city were thrown into chaos by Wang Ba alone. Just as the people were retreating, Zhang Ying jumped out from the crowd.
He quickly came to Wang Ba and without saying a word, he took the sword in his hand directly to Wang Ba's face.
The latter swung his hammer outward, trying to ward off the opponent's sword. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ying used a feint. He swayed, and the man had already passed by Wang Ba's side, and reached behind him, with a sword strike.
Stab him in the back of the heart.
The three brothers of the Zhang family were all in the martial arts world in the past. Their moves are different from the generals' open and close moves, but they follow a light and dexterous approach.
Wang Ba also didn't expect this person's movement to be so fast.
He turned to the side as hard as he could, and heard a sound of sand. Zhang Ying's sword was cut from his side, and the sword edge rubbed against the armor leaves, creating a string of sparks. If there was no armor to protect him, Wang Ba's side would have been cut.
The opponent's sword opened a hole.
As soon as they met, he suffered a loss under the opponent's sword. Wang Ba was furious. He roared and swung his hammer at Zhang Ying. The latter jumped up, in the air, and swung downwards.
The sword's edge went straight into Wang Ba's eyes.
This time, Wang Ba was more careful, and the hammer he swung out was raised sharply, with a clang, the hammer head was picked up on the tip of the sword, causing Zhang Ying to turn over in the air, and after landing, he involuntarily turned backwards
Rolled far away.
Wang Ba was unreasonable, and caught up with Zhang Ying in three strides, and smashed down with a hammer. Zhang Ying hurriedly rolled to the side, and bang, the hammer hit the ground, smashing a huge city wall brick into stone powder.
.
Zhang Ying stood up like a carp and jumped up from the ground. He looked at Wang Ba with eyes that were quenched with poison. He roared angrily and attacked Wang Ba with his sword. When he got close to Wang Ba, he stabbed Wang Ba distractedly.
Wang Ba raised his hammer to block, but what he never expected was that at the same time Zhang Ying struck with his sword, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from his cuff and hit him directly in the face.
Ah! Wang Ba exclaimed in his heart, and before he had time to think about it, he turned his head to the side, and the sand and crossbow arrows almost touched his earlobe and flew past.
As soon as he dodged the crossbow, he heard a soft popping sound, and another crossbow arrow was shot from Zhang Ying's cuff. This time Wang Ba couldn't dodge, and the crossbow arrow hit him right in the face.
The body also fell on its back.
Seeing Wang Ba falling to the ground with a crossbow nailed on his face, Zhang Ying couldn't help but let out a long breath. He took a breath, walked to Wang Ba's side with his sword in hand, and made a gesture to chop off Wang Ba's head as a
Your own trophies.
His sword was still raised in the air and had not fallen. Suddenly, he felt his ankle tighten. When he lowered his head, he saw that Wang Ba had unexpectedly grabbed his ankle tightly.
He looked carefully and found that the crossbow arrow nailed to Wang Ba's face was actually nailed to his mouth. To be more precise, it was bitten tightly by Wang Ba with his teeth.
After seeing it clearly, Zhang Ying secretly screamed that it was not good, but at this time he wanted to respond again, but it was too late. Wang Ba's big hand tightly grabbed Zhang Ying's ankle and pulled him back. The latter couldn't stand and sat down.
to the ground.
While he was sitting on the ground, Wang Ba also stood up, turned his head and spat out the crossbow arrows in his mouth, then grabbed Zhang Ying's ankle, lifted him up, aimed at the arrow stack next to him, and smashed it hard.
Bang! With a crisp sound, Zhang Ying's head hit the arrow butt hard. Just this one blow directly caused Zhang Ying's head to bloom, red and white, spraying out from his head, splashing all over the place.
land.
Wang Ba roared and threw Zhang Ying's body into the crowd of Wang Langjun. For a moment, people screamed in surprise. Going down the ladder, Zhang Jin, who had just climbed to the top of the city, saw exactly this scene.
In just a moment, Zhang Jin's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes and turned red. He roared and rushed towards Wang Ba with his sword.
It's a pity that Zhang Jin's skill is far inferior to that of his elder brother Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying can't even take advantage of Wang Ba, let alone Zhang Jin?
The two of them only fought for five or six rounds. Zhang Jin accidentally hit the big hammer with the sword in his hand. He felt a pain in the tiger's mouth and numbness in his palm. With a whoosh, the sword in his hand hit the air.
It spins and flies sideways as far as it goes.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhang Jin turned around and wanted to run away. How could Wang Ba give him this chance? He passed the big hammer forward and stabbed the opponent hard on the back. Zhang Jin flew forward and fought with several Wang Lang.
The soldiers fell into a ball.
His chest felt tight, his throat felt sweet, and he vomited blood with a cry. There was no chance to get up again. Wang Ba who caught up with him hit him on the back with another hammer. This hammer knocked Zhang Jin.
His backbone was shattered into pieces.
The two generals of Wang Lang's army, Zhang Ying and Zhang Jin, both succeeded in attacking the city walls of Yincheng, but they were unlucky enough to encounter Wang Ba, who was extremely brave.
Neither of the two brothers ran away. One was thrown to death by Wang Ba, and the other was smashed to death by Wang Ba. Both brothers went under the Nine Springs to reunite with Zhang Ji, who had taken the lead.
