Chapter 64 Breaking the City
There are only thirty steps away from the city gate, but these thirty steps are like a chasm. Crossbow arrows are rushing towards the city like locusts, and there are continuous sounds of bowstrings all around. The dense rain of arrows slaps the shield, and the Tianji Gate is due to the
When walking while squatting, they have to keep in formation, so their speed is not much faster than that of a turtle.
The fine iron inlaid on the surface of the shield was under the spears and arrows. Only a few iron bars were left hanging on it. The sticky gel in the middle was made of unknown materials. When the arrows were shot into it, they were immediately killed.
It sticks firmly and absorbs a considerable part of the impact force, leaving the innermost iron sandalwood unscathed.
When moving, even if you are careful and careful, there will inevitably be gaps exposed. This small flaw will bring a lot of casualties to Tianji Sect. There is no way, the arrows are too dense.
Although Zhuge Xian was leading the way, his heart was bleeding, but the Guandao waved in his hand no longer showed any gaps. Countless arrows were knocked in all directions, but none of them could hurt him. It was hard to imagine that a fifty-year-old
Many middle-aged and elderly people could be so fierce. Even the surrounding Chengjun was secretly dumbfounded. Judging from the shape of the Guan Dao in his hand, he could
It was judged that the weight was more than 100 kilograms! The sunlight shining on his body should have brought a feeling of laziness. However, Li Guo, who was hiding behind the battlements, felt cold all over! The reason why he hid behind the battlements again was
Since the Liangzhou Army failed in the first wave of climbing the city, they began to use powerful crossbows to suppress the firepower at the top of the city and organized a new round of offensive to climb the city.
Li Guo did not know the casualties on the attacking side, but his entire army lost a total of 3,000 people! You know, this is defending the city and occupies a favorable location! Like Yunfeng, he also fell into
In a dilemma.
If you force the sergeants to stand up and defend, you can indeed prevent the opponent from ascending the city. However, as soon as you push the rolling stone to the city, you will be immediately killed by the crossbows from the city or the crossbow arrows fired from the ladder on the opposite side. His three thousand
People basically die in this aspect.
If the enemy is allowed to board the city and then besieged and killed, it is really dangerous for the troops. If he is not careful, the city will fall into the enemy's hands. He understands that the fundamental reason for this passive situation is that his firepower has been completely suppressed, and the opponent's firepower has been completely suppressed.
His firepower was too fierce to fight. Even though he had the advantage of trebuchets, how many of them could be placed in such a narrow place at the top of the city?
What made him even more worried was that there were internal Jin troops in the city. This was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face. After being the governor of Liangzhou for more than ten years, he dared to pat his chest and promise that he would treat everyone in the city who had the slightest suspicion.
Famous people know something about it, but he didn't notice it at all.
'Trash!' Li Guo cursed secretly in his heart. He couldn't understand how the opponent's mere two hundred people could hold on for so long when thousands of arrows were fired at the top of the city.
Li Guo looked through the battlements to the bottom of the city again. He saw that the densely packed Jin army was about to start climbing the city again. He felt that the crossbow troops should be transferred back. He immediately turned around and ordered: "Send the order, order the cavalry to attack the rebels, the cavalry
As soon as they are ready, the rebel army will return to their posts immediately!" He only has a thousand horses, which is normal. Hanzhong does not produce horses, and Bashu does not produce horses. At that time, Li Te and other refugee ancestors did not even have horses to ride, so they just relied on two
My legs just walked from Longyou to Bashu.
At this time, Yunfeng had also arrived at the crossbow army position in front of the city from the chariot. The first round of failure was due to the insufficient number of people climbing the city, but more importantly due to improper coordination. The crossbow army commander could not effectively fight the city-climbing infantry.
If you don't cooperate, the enemy will appear, and if you attack, your own troops will be accidentally killed! So he took command personally.
This group of people who climbed the city were not all ordinary soldiers. Yunfeng had spent a lot of money, and there were 500 personal guards led by Wang Gui among them! He realized that the price paid by ordinary infantry alone was too high, and he must
Only the elite can climb up to the top of the city!
At the same time, the city gates of Nanzheng also puzzled him. Three rush cars were destroyed, but the two gates were still tightly closed except for the copper nails that fell to the ground. He didn't know what was behind them.
He even wondered if the enemy had sealed the city gate with blue strips of stone.
The skills of the personal guards were different. Ordinary soldiers climbed up step by step, but the personal guards jumped up like apes. Seeing that they were still about ten feet away from the top of the city, Yunfeng immediately stopped firing his crossbows.
.
Li Guo's younger brother Li Yun squatted behind the city stampede. He had already prepared a spear in his hand and was about to shoot him in the head. At this moment, he saw a figure flashing and he quickly stabbed with a straight sword, and then
Fast and accurate!
In his mind, this unlucky Jin soldier had been sentenced to death. However, the man opposite unexpectedly raised his elbow, clamped the spear tip, and then twisted it downwards. With a bang, it was cut off on the spot.
!
This person was none other than Wang Gui. After clipping off the spearhead, he reached out to his waist and took out a small bag of lime, then he waved it forward!
Li Yun was caught off guard and was slapped all over his face on the spot. He immediately blinked his eyelids and burst into tears. He couldn't see anything anymore! He was so horrified that he couldn't care less about the burning pain coming from his eyes and kept retreating.
, but it was too late, Wang Gui jumped up, drew out the short spear on his back like lightning, and pierced Li Yun's heart with a single shot!
"Shameless~!" Li Yun muttered, with a look of extreme unwillingness on his face, and fell straight to the ground!
Indeed, Wang Gui's trick of sprinkling lime is quite shameless and has always been despised by righteous people, but these are all handed over by Yunfeng. Yunfeng's requirement for his personal guards is that it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice.
A good cat, no matter how bad it is, it is a unique skill that can kill the enemy!
"I'm going to skin you alive!" Li Guo growled in an inarticulate voice, his beard and hair sprouting. His brother who had been with him for decades died in front of him, and he was killed by despicable means, which made him filled with hatred.
!But there was nothing he could do. He was also sprayed by his guards
I just raised my neck in time to catch the lime, so my eyes didn't get much, so I could barely bear it. Although I avoided my eyes, my mouth and nose didn't. I ate a full mouthful. I lived for nearly four years.
It was the first time in ten years that he tasted lime!
Amid Li Guo's scolding, five hundred guards jumped onto the city wall in an instant, and the infantry following them also climbed up one after another. The city was once again plunged into a melee. This time, the defenders felt obvious pressure.
, they understood that the Jin army climbed up sharply.
At this time, Zhuge Xian's physical strength was rapidly draining away. Even though he was a master of Danjin, he still felt that it was too much. After all, time is not forgiving. For a man in his fifties, his physical strength was in a period of decline. If he and Yun
Feng was fighting to the death, and if he couldn't kill the opponent within thirty moves, then he would definitely die.
The Tianji Gate has moved fifteen steps away from the city gate. Zhuge Xian is hesitating whether to ask everyone to stand up and charge forward. He has brought 200 people with him, and now there are only 150 left. He is in trouble.
, suddenly, shouts of killing and screams erupted again from the top of the city, and then, the most threatening crossbow arrow disappeared out of thin air!
Zhuge Xian couldn't help but perked up and shouted: "Quick, the city gate is in front, everyone get up and rush over!"
Without the crossbows above his head, the arrows fired from three sides were nothing. The Tianji Gate was reorganized into a triangular formation and ran all the way into the city gate cave. Zhuge Xian took a look and saw that the city gate had been hit by a car from outside.
It trembled continuously, but there were four waist-thick giant trees supporting the back, and dozens of sergeants were leaning on them. No wonder the Liangzhou army couldn't hit them!
There were about two hundred defenders in the gate, and Tianjimen divided fifty people to guard the city gate. The remaining gatekeepers drew their weapons and rushed forward. Although the defenders were numerically superior, who were the opponents of Tianjimen who were highly skilled in martial arts? It didn't take long.
They were all killed like melons and vegetables. The defenders who were supporting the giant trees saw that the situation was over and wisely chose to kneel down and surrender!
Zhuge Xian immediately ordered them to carry away the giant tree and open the city gate. He and his gatekeepers quickly tore off the army logo and wrapped a layer of white gauze around their left arm as agreed with Yunfeng.
Creaking~ The harsh sound of pushing the door sounded, and a ray of light penetrated into the dark doorway. Zhuge Xian breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was not sure whether he could be reused by Yunfeng, at least he no longer had to hide.
