Chapter 1638 Attack the City, Come Here
Bang bang bang!
There was a loud noise like thunder, and flints flew and hit the city wall hard, making holes in the city wall.
"Break Xing'an Prefecture and kill all the men of Chu!" The soldiers attacked Xing'an Prefecture fiercely and desperately.
Bang bang bang!
The heavy siege cone has been sent to the city gate and is constantly hitting the city gate.
The city gates of the northwest city are all made of iron and are very strong, but the siege cones are not simple either. Under the violent impact, the iron gates were also dented.
If it hits the same place for more than half an hour, even thick iron will be knocked away.
General Liang was frightened when he heard these sounds, and hurriedly shouted to the hundreds of households: "Are you dead? Hurry up and order the soldiers to shoot arrows at the thieves pushing the siege cone!"
"Yes." Several hundred households and general bannermen immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
Unfortunately, when the arrows were coming, the soldiers were so excited that they hid under the siege cone.
The siege cone is wider and longer than three adults, and it is very easy to hide people underneath.
After dodging the rain of arrows, the soldiers emerged again and continued to push the siege cone and bang against the city gate.
"Shoot again!" General Liang roared, mentally cursing the rong people and thieves for their shrewdness.
There was a whooshing sound, and another shower of arrows shot towards the soldiers, but the soldiers hid again. Even if a few of them hit, it would be difficult for Da Chu's long arrows to penetrate the soldiers' heavy armor. Also shot in vain.
"General, the soldiers' heavy armor is too thick and cannot be shot through!"
"You talk nonsense like this to me when we are approaching the city, are you seeking death?" General Liang cursed, and said: "Get the big stone bow!"
The big stone bow was powerful and had strong penetrating power. He didn't believe it could not penetrate the armor of the soldiers.
But the stronger the bow and arrow, the harder it is to draw the bow. Only a person with strong arms can draw the bow and arrow.
Therefore, all the large stone bows in the camp were brought, but the embarrassing thing was that no one could pull them open.
"Go and call the third steward of the Lei family, the second bodyguard of the Feng family, and Niu Dabao. The three of them are men with strong arms, and they will definitely be able to draw the big stone bow." General Liang shouted, and grabbed the big stone bow. After some luck, , suddenly pulled out the bow string, stretched the bow and nocked an arrow, leaned half of his body outside the city wall, and shot towards the soldiers pushing the siege cone.
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow shot out of the madness, killing the soldiers like lightning, and actually shot down one of the soldiers.
"It was shot, the general was shot!" The soldiers around him were very happy. Their general's official position was not for nothing. He had been on the battlefield in exchange for his military exploits, and he also had real abilities.
But the soldiers were not happy for a long time. There were two whooshes and bangs, and a large crossbow arrow came from the bottom of the city, hitting General Liang and nailing him to the wall of the tower opposite.
"General!" The soldiers were horrified and shouted quickly: "General is under attack, protected by shield soldiers!"
The shield soldiers beside him immediately raised their iron shields and surrounded General Liang.
The soldier shouted again: "Military doctor, come here quickly and take down the crossbow arrows!"
A military doctor came immediately to save people.
Niu Dabao and the second bodyguard of the Feng family rushed over and said, "General, you are the commander-in-chief. The soldiers below have been staring at you for a long time. You still shoot arrows. This is not..."
Are you looking for death?
General Liang also knew that he should not shoot that arrow, but the situation was critical. If the attacking soldiers were not stopped, the gate of Xing'an Prefecture would be broken.
"It's just a shot in the shoulder. Don't worry about me, general. Go and shoot the soldiers pushing the siege cone. We can't let them keep hitting the city gate!" General Liang was so painful that half of his body was unconscious. But he urged the second bodyguard of the Feng family and Niu Dabao, and asked: "Where is the third steward of the Lei family? He is good at archery and can draw a big stone bow. Why didn't he come?"
Could it be that he is afraid of death?
Niu Dabao said: "He was also shot by a crossbow arrow, and now he can't draw the bow."
Niu Dabao said, and ran to the city wall near the city gate to see the situation... There were many soldiers, who kept coming from the ladder. The soldiers pushing the siege cone died one after another, but the siege cone was not there. It stopped and kept hitting the city gate.
"General, I want to take a risk. If I die, remember to give me more money as a pension. My family is poor and we have many children." Niu Dabao said, took out the rope and tied it to himself. Looking at his posture, he guessed it was He wanted to hang himself off the tower and go directly to kill the Rong people below.
"Are you crazy? Aren't you going to die?!" The head of the second bodyguard of the Feng family wanted to stop him, but General Liang said, "Let him take the others."
The purpose of defending a city is to fill it with corpses. If there are more people and the filling time is longer, the city will be broken later.
When they are all dead, the city cannot be defended.
"Yes." Niu DaBao responded, calling a group of soldiers who were not afraid of death to follow him and kill the soldiers.
The second bodyguard of the Feng family thought they were crazy and wanted to stop them, but then he thought, if Niu Dabao and the others didn't go to die, then they would have to go. They didn't want to die, so they didn't stop them.
But before Niu Dabao could even hang himself off the tower, he noticed something strange... Far outside the city, on both sides, countless soldiers were suddenly killed, and there were also a group of cavalry among these soldiers.
What's strange is that the cavalry are not running at the front, but behind the infantry...like driving ducks, driving the infantry forward.
"Boss, what's wrong?" the soldier on Niu Dabao's side asked, "Hurry up, if you look at me a few more times, my brother's courage will soon pass."
They were also afraid of committing suicide. After a long delay, their courage to commit suicide was gone, but they would not follow him and rush down to kill the soldiers.
"What the hell, hurry up and pull me back." Niu Dabao said angrily. He turned around and glared at the speaker, then quickly looked at the soldiers who were fighting from both sides.
After a while, the soldier running at the front stopped.
Niu DaBao frowned, what's going on? Why did you stop? Could it be that you saw the soldiers were so fierce that you didn't dare to fight?
After a while, the squatting soldiers on both sides made some movement.
Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
Firestones flew from the left and right sides and hit the soldiers attacking the city in the middle.
Bang bang bang!
The flints fell and smashed many soldiers into meat patties.
Bang bang bang!
There was also a pine tar sheepskin bag tied into the thrown flint. After being smashed down, the sheepskin bag exploded and the pine oil spilled out. When it encountered the flames on the flint, it immediately exploded.
There was a whirring sound, flints ignited pine oil, and large areas of soldiers were swallowed up by the sea of fire.
"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming to save us!" Niu Dabao was so happy that he stopped climbing down. After taking off the rope, he rushed over and said to General Liang: "General Liang, two groups of reinforcements have come, and they are outflanking one on the left and the other on the right. Soldier, we are saved this time!"
"Really? Help me go and see!" General Liang was overjoyed and asked Niu DaBao and the Feng family's second escort to support him. When he arrived at the gate tower, he looked in the direction Niu DaBao pointed, and he saw reinforcements on the left and right.
The reinforcements first attacked with flints. Now flints were flying randomly on the left and right sides, and the soldiers in the middle were severely hit.
General Liang cried with joy: "The reinforcements are coming, the court has not forgotten us, and General Xu has not forgotten us either!"
Ah, these reinforcements were not sent by General Xu and the imperial court, but by the Eagle Food Gang.
