Li Siwen burst into tears and said: "But I don't want to die, I don't want to die, and I don't want to see others die... Why do these bastards have to fight? You just herd your cattle honestly, and follow
When we do business, life will get better. Why do we have to burn, kill, and loot? Good times are just about seeking death. You just wait for me. When my brother comes back, I will kill you all!"
Li Siwen shouted hysterically, and Wang Hu had to cover his mouth. This was in front of the two armies. The enemy could attack at any time. Saying such unwarranted words was not to cause trouble for the other side, but to
Make trouble for yourself!
After venting, Li Siwen also calmed down. He looked at the sky blankly and suddenly said: "Are you sorry?"
Wang Hu was stunned: "What?"
"We are most likely going to die in this city. Is it a pity? You just got married,"
Wang Hu looked a little startled, and then laughed a few times: "There is no regret. A true man protects his family and country, and wraps his body in horse leather. This has always been the case! Fortunately, I took the time to get married, so the incense will not be cut off with me. Besides, there are so many
Brothers, whether we are alive or dead, we are all together, in the sky and on the earth, we are not afraid of being a hairball!"
Li Siwen also laughed: "Yes, I'm afraid, if I die, my elder brother will definitely avenge me, and you won't get better either!"
Li Siwen pointed at the enemy troops under the city and yelled: "You won't get better either!"
It's... it's... it's...
The echo spread farther and farther. When Cui Wang and Amul heard it, they could no longer hear what it was, but they expected that it would definitely not be a good thing. Amul used himself to save others, and felt that
Li Siwen was cursing his mother, getting angry, and beating the drum even louder. Finally, under the supervision of the enemy's Amul headquarters, he launched another offensive.
To defend a city, the most important thing is military morale. Only by uniting as one, uniting as one, and resisting the enemy together can it be possible to defend the city in a weak situation.
Dingxiang was founded by Li Siwen. He was involved in every brick and tile of the city. He personally accepted the refugees in the city and it is not an exaggeration to say that he interviewed them one by one. He gave the refugees a new life.
Given the chance to survive, the people in this city also treated him sincerely.
Even if their son or husband died, they would just cry. No one felt that Li Siwen did something wrong or defended the city wrong.
This is also the reason why Li Siwen feels great pressure. His willpower is not that strong and he cannot bear the high expectations of the people in the city!
…
On the city wall, the city guarding sergeant clenched the spear and halberd in his hand, nervously watching the servant army advancing step by step in front.
Two hundred steps.
Wang Hu drew out the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Bow and arrow, come forward!"
One hundred and fifty steps.
The rhythm of the war drums in the enemy's formation quickened in vain, and the pace of the siege sergeants also quickened.
One hundred steps.
Boom! The enemy's front line showed off their shields and approached step by step.
Fifty steps.
Wang Hu pointed the long sword in his hand downwards: "Fire the arrow——"
…………
Arrows rained down from the sky, and the enemy's simple shields made of wood were raised one after another. The shields were simple, but useful. There was a clanking sound, and most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, except for some scattered ones.
Fortunately, the arrow passed through the gap in the shield and shot into the body of the enemy in the rear row.
At thirty steps, the drums of the enemy army suddenly stopped, and the long and whimpering sound of the horn echoed in the air. Then, dozens of warriors holding logs emerged from the enemy array, and they moved at full speed under the cover of shields.
Running forward, the densely packed team simultaneously let out loud shouts of death, and tens of thousands of people gathered into a huge black wave, slamming hard towards the city wall.
Attack the city, defend the city, and risk your life.
If Li Siwen hadn't had the city gate sealed as soon as the war started, I'm afraid this collision would have knocked the city gate open.
The city gate couldn't be opened, so they simply used huge logs as ladder frames, like ants, with shields on their heads, holding the logs and rushing up!
"If there is a gunpowder bag here, if one goes down, at least twenty or thirty people will be killed!" Li Siwen stamped his feet anxiously, damn Cui Wang, you will be a traitor if you are a traitor, what are you doing with my gunpowder?
The enemy was still worried. Under normal circumstances, the defenders would have taken out explosive packs, but unexpectedly, they didn't have any explosives this time. They soon realized that what the general said might be true, and the enemy did not have gunpowder.
Already.
Thinking of this, morale suddenly exploded. You Tang people are sharp because of gunpowder. Without gunpowder, you are nothing! As if victory is already in front of you, they climb faster, with machetes in their mouths and perseverance.
Climbing towards the top of the city, slashing with swords and halberds without flinching. Every enemy soldier who climbed to the top of the city had crazy and determined eyes in his eyes, like a trapped animal, madly attacking the defenders.
Launch an attack.
Wang Hu's face suddenly turned ugly. He knew that the round of explosives just now could only provide so much deterrence. The next battle would return to a meat grinder situation, and there would be no way to take advantage!
"Are you ready to boil the oil? Pour it on!!" Wang Hu roared and ordered.
Pots of hot oil were poured down on the top of the bag. The enemy soldier who climbed on top had his face melted by the oil and fell down screaming. He could feel how much pain he was listening to the sound. Li Siwen
I thought to myself that this was no better than gunpowder. However, the expected collapse and escape did not happen. The enemy troops continued to climb up desperately, turning a deaf ear to the screams and cries of Pao Ze under the city wall.
The morale of both the attacking and defending sides suddenly reversed, and the defenders became panicked. The enemy troops who attacked the city took advantage of the restlessness of the defenders to quickly climb up the city wall. There were more than ten places on the west wall of the city.
The battlements were out of control, and the enemy troops took advantage of the opportunity to climb up the city wall, jump off the horse trail at the top of the city, and start fighting with scimitars in their hands. Dingxiang City was instantly on the verge of being lost!
"Reserve team, come up with another thousand people, and assign a hundred people to pour oil on top of the city. Don't care what happens to the top of the city. Just keep pouring oil down the city, and kill the enemies who have not climbed up the city wall.
The army intercepts it!"
The order was quickly implemented. Fortunately, Dingxiang City had money and a lot of oil. There were dozens of cauldrons under the city walls, and there was no problem in supplying them for a while.
But this is all oil, and this is money. Li Siwen watched from the side, thinking in his mind, if he splashed five guans, there would be dozens of five guans in the blink of an eye... He instantly felt that the blood all over his body was cold.
, this battle is fought like this, even if he wins, he will still feel more uncomfortable than dying!
On the horse road at the head of the city, a thousand defenders mobilized from the east ran quickly with swords and halberds in hand, quickly joined the battle group, and fought with the enemy troops who climbed up the city wall. On the other side, a hundred defenders formed
The human flesh conveyor belt was thrown, and basins of hot oil were poured down the city wall. There were screams and wailings one after another. The hot oil formed a line between the enemy troops who climbed to the top of the city and the enemy troops who were charging towards the city wall.
blockade.
Only a few dozen enemy troops climbed up to the top of the city. According to the original siege tactics, once someone climbed up, they would fight with the defenders on the top of the city, using their lives and energy to buy time for the companions behind who were climbing the wall until
More and more people climbed up to the top of the city. The defenders could no longer organize a strong resistance and could only fight with the enemy. At this point, the city was basically lost.
But today, the boiling oil, regardless of the cost, still played a big role. It was thrown down as if it was free, forming a blockade. The enemy sergeants who had climbed up the city wall had no one to follow them, and reinforcements were cut off. Dozens of people had no new strength to add.
, was soon submerged in the sea of guns and swords of the defenders, and control was finally taken back again.
In the enemy's central formation outside the city, the shocking march drum beat again, and another black tide rushed towards the city head mercilessly, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Li Siwen was silent, something must have changed in the enemy army, their momentum was obviously different, and they showed a determination to win. It seemed that they were determined to attack Dingxiang in one fell swoop today.
Today is bound to be a hard and fierce battle. I don’t know how brutal the second round of fighting will be.
Wang Hu was already injured. The situation at the top of the city was extremely dangerous just now. When he was fighting with the enemy, he was severely slashed in the back by an enemy soldier. But at this time, he didn't care about it. He didn't even treat the wound. When he saw the enemy
The second round of siege began, and he couldn't help but spit hard, and laughed loudly: "What a bastard, I won't even let you take a breath, the whole army, prepare for war! First move the stones, logs and kerosene, wait until they want to climb up
Come on, keep fighting, save your energy, there are still tens of thousands of people to kill for us! Our lives are more valuable than theirs!"
Li Siwen suddenly remembered something and shouted to the city: "Hurry up and mobilize a hundred village warriors. No matter what method you use, dry the wet gunpowder for me! Bring them one by one, quickly!"
Isn't it because it's damp? It's not that it can't be dried. As long as it's dried, Li Siwen believes it can still be lit... It should be possible...? He's not sure, but at this time, it's a dead horse being treated as a living horse!
The chaotic fighting lasted until dark. When it got dark, the enemy troops retreated like a tide, leaving only countless corpses on the city walls.
…
On the city wall, the reserve team was collecting corpses. Below the city wall, the burning smell from the cremation made people lose their appetite. However, they still swallowed it for tomorrow's battle. No one spoke. At this time, people's feelings were numb.
Nothing to say.
Li Siwen stopped crying, he was also numb.
He looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly said: "No, we can't fight like this!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Hu looked at him.
Li Siwen said seriously: "I was just thinking, if my eldest brother were here, would he be beaten passively? This is not his character, right? He will definitely think of some way to change from passive to active!"
Wang Hu thought for a while, nodded, but then said: "But he is him, and we are not him." The implication is that with our brains, we are afraid that we can't come up with the ideas that he can come up with, so we'd better do our best.
Defend the city.
Li Siwen shook his head and said, "How will you know if you don't try? I've already thought about it. What we have to do now is to take back the initiative and let us control it! We can't let them lead us by the nose!"
Wang Hu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, we are all going to die sooner or later. It doesn't make any difference whether we die early or later. You are General Zhechong. You have the final say. You can just give me orders as to what you want to do!"
