Chapter 2178 Fierce Battle at the Top of the City!

"Bang bang bang!"

On the ground, long siege ladders moved forward quickly one after another. These siege ladders quickly "erected" and tilted toward the walls of the steel fortress one after another.

The steel city wall, coupled with the thin ice on the surface, was far smoother than expected. Some of the siege ladders slipped aside and fell down the moment they came up. But soon, many soldiers gathered near the city wall to support the attackers. City ladder.

"superior!"

Soon, amid roars, groups of coalition soldiers quickly climbed up the siege ladder one after another.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the sky, there were bursts of violent explosions. Looking up, I saw the sky full of red light, and the sky was burning again.

Datang once again launched a pyrotechnic bomb attack, but this time, it was once again intercepted by various countries at high altitudes and deep depths.

"Hahaha! Okay!"

Seeing this scene, the Khitan King burst out laughing:

"This is real war!"

The Khitan people are not afraid of war, let alone death, but that kind of death is too oppressive. However, everything has changed, and this war is moving in a direction beneficial to all countries.

"The armies obey the order, attack on all fronts, and prepare to break the city!"

The Goguryeo Emperor Yeon Gaesumun looked into the distance, also sneered, and quickly issued an order.

In front of him, An Lushan didn't speak, but there was a smile on his lips.

Whoever laughs last will laugh best!

Although Wang Chong killed 300,000 troops at the beginning of the war, as long as he could finally break through the steel fortress and destroy the Tang Dynasty, he didn't care even if a few more died.

"Tian Chengsi, you go too!"

An Lushan looked ahead and suddenly spoke.

"yes!"

When Tian Chengsi heard this, he bowed on his horse and immediately pinched the horse's belly, turned around and left without hesitation, quickly disappearing among the army.

Whoosh!

ahead,

Bursts of piercing screams were heart-stopping, constantly ringing in the battlefield, and the powerful crossbows fired from the beehives poured down like waterfalls.

At every moment, a large number of coalition soldiers were killed.

However, compared to before, the coalition soldiers already have ways to resist, and they are no longer helpless and waiting to be killed.

In war, there are always casualties!

The current casualties are completely within the tolerance of the countries.

"Become a king and a marquis today!"

"The king has an order. The first one to rush to the wall will be rewarded heavily!"

"The supervisors are supervising the battle from behind. The firing squad has been dispatched. Anyone who retreats will be killed! Charge forward. This is the only way to survive!"

…

Waves of howls echoed across the battlefield.

Ropes, siege ladders... Soldiers from various countries used various means to climb up. Some soldiers even directly borrowed beehives protruding from the city wall to climb up.

Clang!

A general slashed hard with the long knife in his hand, and fire burst out. Infused with the majestic Gang Qi, the long knife in his hand slashed hard into the beehive, creating a crack of dozens of feet.

There was just a clicking sound, and the beehive that was about to spit out a new wave of arrows immediately got stuck and could not move.

The beehives are made of fine iron, and some inscriptions of strength and defense are attached. However, it is not meteorite iron after all. It will still be destroyed when encountering some magical weapons, swords and blades, and if they are used by masters.

Soldiers kept climbing towards the city wall one after another. Although they were constantly blocked, they still could not stop the crazy army.

"Hahaha, I finally climbed onto the city wall, I'm the first!"

With a flash of light, a warrior jumped up and quickly landed on the wall. Behind him, hundreds of warriors braved heavy rain of arrows and climbed onto the city wall one after another.

The fragile thin ice, the fortress walls with special curvature, and the dense rain of attacks from beehives...

Climbing up this 70 to 80 meter high city wall took a lot of effort, but to everyone, they finally arrived successfully.

But the next moment, after seeing clearly what was behind the city wall, the excited cheers suddenly stopped. A soldier named Youzhou, Goguryeo, and Xihe Khitan opened their eyes wide, filled with fear.

During the entire siege, the attacks they suffered were not very violent. At least no soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were seen on the city walls (all the archers had already withdrawn to the city), but at this moment , everyone finally knew why: just inside the city wall, there were densely packed with more than ten or two hundred thousand Tang | troops.

All these soldiers were wearing helmets and armor and were fully armed. Their cold eyes were staring at everyone, but no one made a sound. In the inner circle, tens of thousands of archers were lined up to retreat. A neat square formation and countless dense arrow clusters are firmly locking everyone.

Seeing this horrific scene, all the coalition soldiers' palms became cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Before they could react, the next moment, the bowstring trembled, and a dense wave of arrows shot out. The sharp armor-piercing arrows easily penetrated the armor of the coalition soldiers and penetrated their hearts or foreheads.

These coalition soldiers didn't even make a sound, their bodies softened and they fell down from the high city top.

The heavy infantry and archers who were ambushed within the city wall did not even move. They were still waiting, waiting for more and denser soldiers from all countries to board the city wall.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Four!"

"five!"

"six!"

…

Just when the count reached eight, accompanied by a thunderous roar like a lion, countless Datang soldiers who were ambushed in the inner circle of the steel fortress formed one combat group after another in groups of six. With astonishing momentum and terrifying speed, Like thunder and lightning, he quickly raised his sword to kill on the wall.

Puff puff!

The halo trembled, the aura trembled, and in just a moment, the outcome of the battle was immediately apparent. With the sound of sharp blades piercing the flesh, one after another coalition soldiers were killed on the spot, and their bodies were pushed off the wall.

There are far more soldiers of the Tang Dynasty ambushing inside the city wall than the soldiers from other countries who have just climbed up the wall. More importantly, whether it is Youzhou soldiers, soldiers, or Goguryeo soldiers, in this kind of siege battle, any formation will They can't display their formations, so they can only fight on their own.

But the Tang soldiers they faced were completely different.

This is a 100,000-strong city defense force specially trained by Wang Chong.

Long before the war started, Wang Chong and Zhangchou Jianqiong joined forces to train this force, and specially opened up an area, and asked Zhang Shouzhi to simulate building a city, and this force was divided into two camps: offensive and defensive. There are constant drills and confrontations, and at the same time, the formation coordination is honed.

Working in a group of six, the special fighting method is the most special weapon of this city defense force.

The six-person combat team has integrated offense and defense, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. And most importantly, the six-person combat team can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two. No matter how many people climb on the wall, this team can always create a situation where the other party uses one as one. The feeling of being against six.

"kill!--"

"Puff puff!"

Accompanied by bursts of shocking shouts of killing, the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh and blood continued to be heard from all over the city wall. When this specially trained city defense army entered the battle, everything was suddenly different. No matter how many coalition soldiers rushed to the top of the wall, Basically, it is harvested quickly in a concise and fast way in a very short period of time.

And the changes on the battlefield are far more than just that——

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless giant iron caltrops fell from the sky and rolled down again. Faced with this heavy attack, even the countries were helpless.

——The interception of the Archer has no effect on this giant steel.

"ah!"

Just hearing bursts of shrill howls, countless coalition soldiers were crushed into powder by the iron caltrops. The iron caltrops rolled on the ground, leaving thousands of terrifying blood paths.

One of the iron caltrops fell from the sky and even directly hit a huge building.

There was only a loud noise. This time, the building car was hit from the top, and it was completely torn into pieces. Countless fragments flew away, and the ropes that were only fixed to the steel fortress on the building car were also broken.

"kill!--"

However, Datang's offensive could not stop the various countries at all. A large number of people died, but it stimulated the coalition forces of the various countries to become even more crazy.

Countless soldiers roared, looking ferocious, and continued to surge forward like huge waves.

Clang, clang, clang!

In a short period of time, more and more steel claws were thrown onto the city, and more and more siege ladders leaned heavily against the city wall.

At every moment, at least tens of thousands of coalition soldiers were frantically climbing towards the top of the city.

boom!

And just on the west side of the battlefield, a huge truck finally approached the steel fortress. Boom, on the top of the truck, a steel plate with a claw at the end, which was six or seven meters long, fell heavily and hit the city head, instantly opening up the city. Create a three to four meter wide passage that leads directly to the interior of the steel fortress.

"boom!"

Waves of murderous sounds erupted, and inside the building, at least dozens of coalition soldiers rushed toward the steel fortress wall like a swarm.

Among these people were Goguryeo soldiers, Khitan soldiers, and Youzhou soldiers. All of them cooperated tacitly to kill the Tang soldiers inside the city wall.

"Bah!"

While the army was fighting, not many people noticed that a sharp sound of birdsong suddenly came from inside the steel fortress.

Before the soldiers from all the countries could react, the next moment, there was a flash of light, and a petite bird flew out of the steel fortress, brushing against the wall.

And just like a sign, just behind this bird, the sky suddenly darkened, and thousands of hawks and birds flapped their wings and flew over the armies of all countries.

Seeing this sudden change, everyone in the various countries was stunned.

"Watch out! There's something on their legs!"

A Goguryeo soldier on the ground had a keen eye and immediately noticed the strangeness of these hawks and birds.

Following that sound, countless coalition soldiers raised their heads and looked at the paws of these hawks.

In an instant, everyone saw the unknown spheres held on the talons of these hawks.

However, before everyone could react, the next moment, one of the hawks and sparrows loosened its paws, and a heavy ball immediately fell from the sky. Following closely behind, countless hawks and sparrows also loosened their paws and dropped those weird round balls. The ball dropped.

"boom!"

One of the balls fell from the sky and hit the ground. The ball was more fragile than expected and fell into pieces with a snap, and some black liquid splashed out.
