Chapter 776: The Crowd
Chapter 776: The Crowd
The army behind Liu Hong made way for the passage, and the three thousand soldiers brought by Bai Qingyan rushed forward.
Zhao Ran gave an order, and the soldiers of Niujiaoshan shouted and changed their formation. Six people formed a team, and four of them wore light shields in front. Among them, the three light shields had different shapes. The two sides of the shield are Guitian-shaped ② light shields with three sides aligned, and the rear is a normal shield. The four shields protect the two soldiers with backpacks in them, and approach the two corners of the city wall steadily and quickly.
Liu Hong looked at the six-man team, and the six-man team quickly passed by him, and he was a little confused. He didn't know what the purpose of these soldiers holding the shields of different shapes was.
"Princess Zhen Guo, the soldiers are in a team of six. What's the use of holding such a shield in your hand?" Liu Hong asked.
"A group of six people, a group of four shields, three of the shields have hidden buckles inside, and the hidden buckles connect to each other, a trinity, General Liu knows it when he looks at it..." Bai Qing said.
Soon, the first team of six arrived under the city wall.
The city wall was built against the cliffs on both sides. The team ordered three people to interlock their shields to form a large shield in the shape of a field, so that the longest side was firmly against the wall of the city wall, obliquely blocking the top of the head, and taking the place of going forward. The two men riveted with rivets inside the city wall... blocked the arrows shot down from the city wall.
Liang Jun on the city tower saw that the arrows were useless, so he hurriedly ordered people to move stones to smash the shield.
But the shields were interlocked, and it was an inclined plane. The impact force of the stone falling from the city wall would shake the three people supporting the shield to slide down. Instead, they rolled down the Jitian-shaped slope, but the end of the rivet...passed through the round rings tied to the ropes on their bodies, making a violent noise.
The three soldiers holding the Jitian shield stepped on the rivet and lifted the shield upward, followed by the two rivet-embedded soldiers, took a steady step forward, and then inserted a rivet into the city wall...
The only person holding a normal shield was under the city wall, hiding in the angle between the shield and the wall, holding a rope in his hand, not knowing what to do.
Under the city wall at the Qingxi Mountain pass, the soldiers of Niujiao Mountain gathered together, with shields interlocked in teams of six, and climbed the city wall.
Looking from a distance, the soldiers of Niujiao Mountain are like creeping tigers with vigorous vitality, just one point... one point, climbing towards the top of the city wall, densely packed, devouring more than half of the city wall calmly and calmly.
Occasionally, a soldier slipped, and the soldier squatting in the angle between the shield and the wall... the soldier holding the rope would immediately grab the rope tightly and pull hard...
I saw that the soldier who was about to fall was pulled up by the rope that passed through the rivet ring, and a hand stretched out from under the Jitian-shaped shield, and pulled the soldier back under the shield again.
Seeing this, many soldiers of the Jin army who were besieging the city went to help pull the rope, which accelerated the speed of the siege at a clearly visible speed.
As long as one team climbed up, the rope ladder would be thrown down. The Niujiaoshan soldiers who were the first to rush up the city wall drew their swords and guarded the ropes, and soon the Jin army climbed up the tower one by one, and fought hand-to-hand with the Liang army!
There are fewer and fewer obstacles for the Jin army to climb the city wall, and the climbing speed is getting faster and faster.
Soon, the city wall was densely packed with Jin troops climbing up the rope ladders. After a while... the entire city wall was full of Jin troops, and dozens of ladder carts were also pushed to the front of the city wall. Thrilling.
The Qingxi Mountain Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the world, was as paperless in front of Bai Qingyan's soldiers!
Seeing such a shocking scene, Liu Hong was shocked. He turned his head to look at Bai Qingyan, who was in the rainstorm with calm eyes.
Look behind Bai Qingyan and form a small team. The soldiers of the small team are looking at the city wall like torches, waiting for Bai Qingyan's order at any time, and become the next wave of warriors to sprint to climb the city wall.
This...is the bandit suppressing soldier that Princess Zhen Guo trained in Shuoyang? mob? !
Liu Hong once seemed to have heard someone mention that when Bai Qingyan went to the battlefield with the king of the town, the reason why he was the vanguard every time was because Bai Qingyan had a female guard under his command, and every time he attacked the city, he would break the city A sharp weapon, could it be... that's how the former female guards attacked the city?
Daliang has always been rainy... The Qingxi Mountain pass is really important, so when Daliang built the walls of each pass, no earthen walls were used. The fear was that the heavy rain would make the earthen walls collapse. If another country attacked Qingxishan pass, it would be impossible to defend against.
The technology of Liang Guo to build the city wall with stones has been ahead of other countries, but because of the huge manpower and material resources, when building the Qingxi Mountain Pass, the builders used the cliffs of two steep mountains to build a very high and extremely difficult to climb. Stone walls!
But it is precisely because Liang Guo used stone to build the city wall that this group of Niujiaoshan soldiers were given a chance today. If it is an earth wall, it has been washed away by rain for so long, even if the rivets are embedded in it, and the weight of a person steps on it, the nails on the wall will be broken. If you don't have enough ability, you still have to fall down.
Now, the rivets are embedded in the cracks of the city wall, and they are very stable...
But in Bai Qingyan's eyes, these Niujiaoshan soldiers are still very young. Their training time is not long, and they have never experienced actual combat. Grow into a truly usable warrior.
Seeing the flag of Zhao Zi hanging high above the city wall, and the flag of Liang Jun falling down, Bai Qingyan pulled the reins vigorously, and the horse under the seat kicked its hooves and turned to Liu Hong: "General, give the order!"
Liu Hong knew that the time had come, the Jin army had rushed into the wall, and as soon as Liang Jun's flag fell, some soldiers must have gone to open the door.
Liu Hong drew his sword and shouted: "Soldiers of the Jin army! The banner of the Liang army has fallen! The defeat of the Liang army is doomed! Kill!"
The Jin army was full of enthusiasm and rushed forward with Liu Hong's chariot. The soldiers of the Jin army roared and rushed towards the city wall at the Qingxishan Pass.
Bai Qingyan took off the sun-shooting bow from behind, held the rein with one hand, and rushed out with the horse's belly.
Inside the thick gate of Qingxi Mountain Pass, the Jin army who crossed the city wall mercilessly beheaded the soldiers who resisted the gate with their bodies. The last wooden pillar in the room finally had a crack.
The Liang army on the city wall has no power to stop the Jin army, and all the blood flowing down the city wall!
The soldiers of the Jin army pulled the chariot to the farthest point, and some soldiers were busy cleaning up the bodies and remains of the Liang army or the Jin army before the chariot. They roared and pushed the chariot with all their strength. Charged towards the middle of the two gates, they all knew that with this final blow, the city gate would definitely be knocked open.
The ancient and heavy gate of the Qingxi Mountain Pass was finally knocked open...
① Fangtian (Naotian): rectangular, square with four sides aligned.
② Guitian: Triangle, sometimes refers to isosceles triangle.
③ Minida: trapezoidal.
