Chapter 904: The wind rises (3)
A spear poked down fiercely. Qin Chuangzi's left shield came up. With a choking sound, the spearhead poked on the shield, slid to the side, and stretched out his right hand, but caught the spearhead and intercepted the long pole. With a roar, he pulled down Liang Jun, who had no time to let go. The person was still in the air, and the round shield in Qin Chuangzi's hand smashed up fiercely. The sharp edge of the shield cut off the man's head with a squirt, splashing out like blood, pouring the man's body.
But in the short moment when Qin Chuangzi killed such a person, several feather arrows had been inserted into his armor. He climbed over the wall with him, and hundreds of Tang soldiers who fell into this trap were not all of them with good skills and armor as Qin Chuangzi. They were suppressed by the feather arrows above the city and had no way to get up. The spears above were poked one after another, and people screamed from time to time.
Qin Chaizi's eyes turned red. He ran around the trench with his shield and had seen many of his brothers lying on the ground. A whistling sound came from above his head. He raised the iron shield in his hand to protect his head and face tightly. Two thuds of thuds, his arms trembled violently, and the torn pain spread throughout his body in an instant.
That was the enemy above who was throwing stones to hit them.
For a moment, they were suppressed at the bottom of the ditch and had no power to fight back.
Ge Cai rushed up with the second wave of people, braved the rainy bows and stone bombs.
"The shield hand comes forward, and the crossbow hand suppresses the wall!" Ge Cai shouted sternly. Qin Chaizi turned over and disappeared. Even if no one has any experience, he knows that things are not good, and he is even more frightened by her, a good man who has experienced many battles.
Qin Chaizi's subordinates, who had no idea, were in a mess, and several lieutenants were arguing. The arrival of Ge Cai made them no longer have to make any more decisions. Some battlefields of war returned to peace in a very short period of time.
Rows of shield hands reached the front, behind them, the crossbowmen sat on the ground, spread their arms and crossbows, and a buzzing sound was loud. Rows of crossbow arrows shot to the top of the city, shooting Liang Jun, who were poking out half of their bodies and shooting arrows down the city.
The counterattacks on the city were extremely fierce, with powerful crossbows, stone bullets, and feather arrows. They concentrated their firepower to attack the shield wall. From time to time, a shield hand fell down, but one fell down, and another rushed forward immediately, picked up the shield, and raised it again.
Before Ge Cai rushed to the chest wall, Qin Chaizi was half a head taller than her and couldn't see the inside, let alone her?
"Let's go down!" She turned around and shouted at a soldier beside her.
The soldier glanced at Ge Cai's figure and looked embarrassed. Without waiting for him to say anything, Ge Cai had already knocked into the bend of his leg with a scabbard, and then kicked into the bend of a soldier on the other side. The two soldiers uttered a chubby and were half kneeling on the ground. One side of the soldier stepped on a foot on the shoulder, and Ge Cai shouted: "Let me go up."
The two soldiers roared, held Ge Cai's legs and lifted her up.
As soon as he emerged, several feather arrows shot from the opposite side. Ge Cai shrank his head suddenly, and the feather arrow shot from above his head. The legs of the two soldiers at the bottom trembled and almost fell down. Ge Cai was indeed too fat.
Of course, in front of General Ge, you cannot be said to be fat, you should be strong.
Although he only took a look, Ge Cai had already seen the situation inside and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. Maybe Qin Crazi will die today.
"Qin Chaizi, hold on, I'm here to save you!" Ge Cai shouted at the top of his throat.
"Hurry, otherwise I will return to the west today." Qin Chaizi's voice came from below behind the wall, which sounded like he was injured.
Ge Cai's heart was slightly sank. She knew that Qin Crazi was a tough guy. She was not really helpless and would never be so discouraged.
"Fire Thrower!" Ge Cai roared.
A group of soldiers with red helmets on their heads rushed over under the cover of a group of shield soldiers. Ge Cai made a little arrangement, and a soldier squatted down and carried the red helmets on his shoulders. These people held small ceramic jars in their hands. They bent down and let the people below ignite the leads in front of the jars. They counted a few numbers quietly, then shouted, and threw the porcelain jars in their hands under the city wall.
After a moment, the rumbling explosion sounded endlessly. The porcelain jars fell under the opposite city wall and exploded with a bang. Sparks splashed and stained Liang Jun's body, which immediately ignited the other party. Some porcelain jars hit the base of the wall, and even the city wall began to burn.
"Rope!" Ge Cai ordered again.
The ropes were thrown across the low wall and hung into the trench inside.
"The crossbowman suppresses and covers the brothers out." Ge Cai leaned against the wall and shouted loudly.
One by one, Tang army crossbowmen were carried by people and exposed their bodies from the wall. The crossbow arrows in their hands roared toward the opposite side, and one shot out, and then threw the crossbow bows in their hands. Naturally, someone handed them a new crossbow with good crossbow arrows again.
From time to time, someone leaned down and fell from the person who was carrying him under him, or his body was forward and fell on the wall, without a sound, but at this moment, the people below always pulled back silently, put the dead comrades' bodies flat on the ground, and then another person stepped on his shoulder again without fear.
Behind, Ren Xiaonian's clenched fists were shaking slightly.
His soldiers were constantly injured and killed. But they did not even cross the first obstacle.
The blow above the city was obviously carefully calculated and covered this area as a whole.
The fatal blow suffered by the Tang army in the trench finally weakened at the moment when the storm bomb exploded, which gave them a chance to breathe.
The ropes thrown above their heads brought them hope for life.
"Along the rope." Qin Chaizi roared.
Seeing a living soldier tying the dead brother's body to the rope, Qin Chaizi said: "Let go, let's go first, the living will leave first, the lost brothers will stay here first, and we will collect the corpses for them when we look back."
There were less than a hundred Tang soldiers at this time. After hearing Qin Chaizi's words, they gave up their comrades' bodies, grabbed the rope, and climbed upwards.
But at this time, it is also the time when their defense is weakest.
Feather arrows roared and shot down the Tang army from time to time.
Qin Chaizi tied a guy who had been arrowed several times on his feet to the rope, stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, signaling the person behind to pull the rope. Seeing the rope slowly rising with the wounded soldier, he stuffed the shield in his hand into the wounded soldier's hand and "protect the vital points."
Jumping back and forth in the trench, seeing that there was no more living person, Qin Chuangzi howled, ran a few steps, grabbed a rope, and climbed up and quickly with his hands alternately.
From time to time, there was a jingle sound from his body, which was the sound of feather arrows shooting on the armor. Qin Chaizi ignored everything as long as he was not coming to his head.
He finally climbed onto the wall with both hands, and with force, he turned over. He fell to the ground with a loud bang, but he looked like a hedgehog.
"No one?" Ge Cai approached him and asked. Based on his understanding of Qin Chaizi, if there were still people living below, he would never have come out.
"Everything is dead!" Qin Chaizi lowered his head in pain: "Ge Cai, retreat, if we do not fill this trench, we will not be able to lean against the city wall at all."
Ge Cai nodded. She had just taken a look and knew that the next priority was to level the trench.
"Retreat! Shield hand archer, crossbowman covers, others retreat first!" Ge Kyu roared, reached out and picked up a crossbow from the ground, aimed it at Liang Jun on the top of the city, and hooked the trigger fiercely.
The living Tang army dragged the remains of the brother who died in battle and slowly retreated to the rear.
On the city wall, Liu Xinda saw this scene and his eyes twitched slightly.
Tang Jun seemed to have suffered a lot of losses, but he did not take any advantage.
Qin Chuangzi was carried back. Although Ren Xiaonian's face turned pale, he still checked Qin Chuangzi's injuries first. "It's nothing big. If you have been raising it for ten days and half a month, you will be a vibrant man again."
Qin Chaizi cried.
"General Ren, it's my fault. I'm too aggressive. Hundreds of brothers are gone."
Ren Xiaonian shook his head: "I will peel this old dog Liu Xinda, you go down and rest. Liu Yuan."
"exist!"
"In the next round, you will destroy this wall and fill the trench first." Ren Xiaonian said. "Zhou Zhen is responsible for the cover."
"As for your order!" the two said in unison.
Half an hour later, the sound of war drums rose again, and the Tang army set out again. This time, the charge team was mixed with a large number of bumps.
The chest wall was knocked down one by one, and the layout behind the chest wall finally appeared completely in front of the Tang army. While the long-range weapons of both sides were shooting at each other endlessly, the Tang army carried bags of mud, sand and stone to fill the trench one by one.
This is a water-melting task. Both sides have no great losses, but time has been consumed bit by bit. When all the trenches outside the city were almost filled, the sun had disappeared from the mountain peak in the distance. With the sound of gold gongs and drums, the Tang army began to retreat.
"Although it's just a test, it can be seen that Liang Jun's determination to resist is still very firm. And he is also very prepared." Liu Ruyan frowned and said. "This is a tough battle, so don't be lucky, and win quickly. Take one step at a time and see the real sign with his opponent!"
Yang Mi nodded and said, "When Li Gan takes Yingcheng, it will completely cut off the connection between Ezhou and the Zhongwu Army, or it will be a serious blow to their morale."
