Chapter 256 Flying Attack
Li Ming ignored the soldiers who rushed up. He quickly disappeared from the spot, moved from the heads of those people to another trencher, destroyed it in a few seconds, and then kicked several soldiers around him away. After dodging several swords and guns, he jumped up again, and rushed straight to the next trencher.
At this time, Zhuang Ya and Ma Lin, who were relatively fast, had already arrived on the city wall. Their arrival was immediately surrounded by groups of soldiers. The city wall was very wide and had become a wide platform. Therefore, there were also many soldiers on it. There were at least two or three hundred people. Although Zhuang Ya's martial arts skills were high, they were entangled by these people and could not get close to Li Ming for a while.
In terms of experience in the world, Malin is much taller than Zhuang Cliff. Seeing the scene of melee in front of you, and looking at Li Ming, who jumped out of the crowd from time to time in the distance, he hurriedly shouted: "All people think they are around me, resist the enemy's attack for a moment!"
Hearing his orders, several people around him quickly surrounded him and protected Marin in the middle. After getting this moment of breathing, Marin rose into the air and rushed towards Li Ming.
After destroying five catapults, Li Ming was already surrounded by the enemy. Although his martial arts skills were high, his fists could not match four hands. Although his opponents were ordinary soldiers who did not understand martial arts, weapons from all directions kept calling him, which made him feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, he had the sharpness of the Yitian Sword and the solidity of the armor on his body. Therefore, although a long spear stabbed him from time to time, he was not injured. With the Yitian Sword in his hand, he opened a bloody road from the heavy siege and advanced hard towards the last few catapults.
In order to protect Li Ming, Malin broke away from the enemy surrounding him with the help of everyone and rushed from the air to the place where Li Ming was. However, the enemy seemed to be very experienced in dealing with martial arts people like him. Seeing that Malin approached from the air, the soldiers below quickly raised the spear in their hands and stabbed it into the sky. Suddenly, Malin's lower part became a place full of spears and thorns, and there was no place to settle down. If he wanted to continue to fall, he would inevitably be stabbed into a hedgehog by spears all over the ground.
Seeing this crisis, Li Ming waved the Yitian Sword in his hand and turned around and rushed towards the place where Malin landed. He ignored the blows of the raindrop spear and big sword behind him, and quickly moved in which direction. The Yitian Sword in his hand was completely used as a long sword. Every time he waved horizontally, a large area of enemy troops would fall in front of him. With his efforts, he finally cleared a small piece of open space under his feet before Malin fell. Seeing that the opportunity was impossible to miss, Malin in the air hurriedly used a thousand-pound drop and jumped down to the place where Li Ming cleared it out. After the two met, they hurriedly blocked the enemy around them for the time being.
At this time, more martial arts masters had already jumped onto the city wall. Among them, the original guards used to cooperate with each other to kill the enemy. Therefore, when they gathered together, they naturally formed a team of mutual protection and cooperation. In this way, when they faced weapons from all directions, they seemed at ease. As more people jumped onto the city wall, their combination became more and more. Gradually, they turned to defense and began to kill in the direction of Li Ming.
Although Li Ming had only more than 100 people jumped onto the city wall this time, when they gathered together, there were only one or two hundred enemy troops who could contact them. In this case, their own abilities were fully revealed. After a brief stalemate, they began to open a passage in the enemy's siege, quickly approached Li Ming and Malin, and rescued them from the encirclement.
Originally, with Li Ming's equipment, he didn't have to worry about being hurt. With his martial arts and armor on his body, he could advance and retreat freely among thousands of troops alone. However, because Malin was eager to protect his master, he rashly approached Li Ming from the air, which forced Li Ming to consider Malin's safety. He did not have invulnerable armor on his body, so it was difficult for him to survive the siege of the enemy alone. As the Minister of Security, Li Ming did not want to lose him. In addition, Li Ming had already seen that everyone who arrived later had begun to kill in this direction, so he stopped moving forward and instead stood there with Malin to stand in place.
After meeting the crowd, Li Ming suddenly felt relaxed and no responsibility to protect others, so that he could repay the enemy in front of him with the right. Under his leadership, everyone took him as an arrow and quickly passed through the heavy encirclement like a sharp arrow, destroying all the remaining twenty catapults on the city wall. By the way, they also cut off more than a dozen crossbows not far away. At the same time, some team members also raised the big stone next to the catapult and threw it to the other side of the city wall. Since the city wall was built at the highest point of the mountain road, as happened in Li Ming's army just now, the huge stone went down.
He rushed the enemy troops stationed on the mountain road to a scattered situation. Seeing this situation, Li Ming's instinctive reaction was to notify his troops to attack the city gate quickly and rush up to the city wall when the enemy was in chaos. However, when he saw the platforms excavated on the cliffs on both sides of the city wall and the enemy troops pouring out from the platforms, he gave up this tempting idea. It seems that there are also many talents in Li Jiao's troops who arranged this city gate perfectly. Even if his troops break through the city gate, the enemy troops stationed on the mountains on both sides can still wipe out his entire army. If he wants to pass this pass smoothly, he must eliminate the enemy troops stationed on the top of the mountain.
After completing this operation, the number of wounded people in Li Ming's team began to increase. Although these people's martial arts are very powerful, it is inevitable to be injured in such high-density battles. Therefore, looking at the enemy coming from all over them, Li Ming made a quick decision and quickly led everyone to the place where they came up, preparing to lead everyone to retreat. He knew that with his strength in his skills, it was okay for them to temporarily gain an advantage in the siege of the enemy, but he could not go.
With more than a hundred people to defeat the enemy's thousands of troops, the role of the special forces is to accidentally attack the enemy's weak points and key points, and create good conditions and opportunities for the large army to attack, but they cannot confront the enemy head-on. What they are doing now is similar to this. After destroying the enemy's catapult, they avoid a large number of casualties in their own troops and create conditions for the position of their catapult troops. Now that the mission has been completed, there is no need to fight with the other side.
Under Marin's organization, the people who jumped onto the city wall began to retreat in an orderly manner. Although they didn't feel anything when they came up from below, it would be very difficult to let them go from such a high place. Fortunately, Li Ming had considered this a long time ago and collected the thick ropes on the catapult while destroying the catapult. Now it is indeed handy. The ropes on more than 20 catapults can be hung down under the city wall. Without the protection of the injured, the injured first slid down from the rope one by one.
The enemy's attack became more and more fierce. When the officers guarding the city saw that the other party was in a state of no one, they destroyed all their catapults. They were immediately angry and personally carried a machete to supervise the battle, ordering the soldiers to rush forward without any chance. Under the threat of the officers, the soldiers rushed towards Li Ming and the others one by one, all trying to achieve great achievements on the battlefield, so for a while, Li Ming and the others' pressure increased greatly.
Seeing that the wounded had almost gone down, Malin waved his knife and cut off the head of an enemy soldier in front of him, and then shouted loudly: "Lord, let's go quickly, we are broken here, it will be too late if we don't leave. You shoulder the high hopes of the people of the world. You can't take risks here, go quickly!" Hearing his words, the people who were originally going to continue to retreat also stopped, surrounded Li Ming one by one, and asked him to leave as soon as possible.
Li Ming hid sideways, let a spear that had stabbed over, and cut half of the enemy soldiers who rushed to him with a sword. Then he looked up and observed the situation around him, and ordered loudly: "Listen to my order, Ma Lin took the former guards and I to retreat first, and the rest of the personnel then retreated. Senior Zhuang Ya, you broke the back, and after everyone evacuated, you gave up the rope and jumped directly off the city wall, we will respond to you below." The question of who broke the back is very difficult to decide. These people in front of him are Li Ming's right-hand assistants, and it is not easy to deal with the loss, but compared with Marlin and the former guards' members
The most important thing is that these people are currently the main officials under Li Ming. If they lose, they will bring unpredictable obstacles to Li Ming's development. The people in the original Linjiazhuang are all important business personnel of Li Ming, and Li Ming does not want them to lose anything. Only Zhuangya. Although they also hold relatively important jobs on Biquan Island, they are currently only Li Ming's personal bodyguard. In comparison, Li Mingning can use his life to exchange for most people. Although morally speaking, Li Ming has become a powerful hero at this time, so when considering the problem, he focuses more on the overall situation.
No one objected to Li Ming's order. In their hearts, they had already handed over their lives to Li Ming. All Li Ming's orders would be implemented unconditionally. Zhuang Ya, including Zhuang Ya, were ready to sacrifice for Li Ming at any time. This was inseparable from Li Ming's ideological transformation work in the past two years. No matter at any time, he and the Saint Hand King were deliberately or unintentionally portraying Li Ming as the image of a savior. In addition, the inherent concept of loyalty to the emperor and protecting the master in this era, even a senior expert like Zhuang Ya cannot be spared.
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Li Ming quickly retreated to the rope, and then jumped down with the rope. At this time, the heavy infantry on the road had stopped attacking, which gave the heavy infantry on the road a chance to breathe and adjust. With their efforts, the rapidly falling stones were firmly held back by them. This also allowed the mountain troops who arrived later to quickly form a formation under the city wall, raise the crossbow arrows in their hands and start attacking the crossbow arrows. Although the city wall is very high, the crossbow arrows they equipped with can still easily shoot on the city wall, suppressing the archers who were preparing to attack the retreating personnel from the side and not revealing their heads behind the female wall, giving the seriously injured retreat personnel the maximum safety guarantee.
Li Ming easily landed on the ground along the ropes. Seeing that the place where they retreated was still fierce, and the endless enemy troops launched a crazy counterattack towards the team members who were adjourning him like a tide. This made him very anxious. The attack on the above wall was completely out of his impulse, and he did not take into account any bad consequences. Now, he was really too impulsive. Those who followed him up were senior leaders of Biquan Island. If there were too many losses, it would inevitably bring great trouble to the management work of Biquan Island in all aspects. Therefore, he must try his best to ensure the safety of those people.
Li Ming quickly retreated to safety, and then shouted at a guard beside him: "Tell me my order, all the stone-cattered soldiers should speed up their progress. Be sure to arrive at this area before our personnel retreat, and convey my order immediately, so that the heavy infantry and mountain combat teams can make way for the stone-cattered troops to come up as soon as possible."
The guard agreed loudly, then ran down quickly to convey the order. In a short while, the first catapult soldier came up from the mountain road below, panting from the mountain. They quickly unloaded the catapult from the mules and horses, quickly set it up in the middle of the road, and the loader quickly loaded a jar of oil on the catapult, and then waited for the order to be fired.
On the city wall, more than one hundred people had retreated, and only Zhuang Ya and his wife were left, leading a few disciples to block the enemy's crazy counterattack. Their bodies were covered with red blood. The fierce battle made them stagger, and they were about to stagger, and they were about to be unable to withstand the enemy's attack.
Seeing that he could not wait, Li Ming, who had been paying close attention to the development of this matter, hurriedly issued an order to launch. With the sound of drums, six trenchers who were ready cast the first batch of oil jars.
The clay pot was shot high onto the city wall. After smashing the heads of several defensive soldiers, it was smashed to pieces on the city wall. Then, light fuel flowed out of the clay pot and quickly covered the city wall.
At this time, Zhuang Ya and the others could no longer hold on. After all the personnel retreated, Zhuang Ya and his wife and three disciples no longer had the ability to slide down the rope. The enemy's attack was too crazy. If they were negligent, they would be penetrated by thousands of guns. Therefore, no one of them dared to give up the defense in front of them, and the situation suddenly became stalemate.
Although Li Ming was prepared to treat Zhuang Ya as a victim in his heart, he was unwilling to lose such a master easily. Seeing that Zhuang Ya and the others were in a critical situation, he hurriedly ordered Ma Lin to lead more than 20 good-skilled team members to follow him to the city wall, and then shouted loudly at the top: "Zhuang Ya, don't be in love with the battle anymore, give up the rope, jump down immediately, don't worry, we will be able to handle you below, I believe it will be fine, jump quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Hearing Li Ming's cry, Zhuang Ya, who was fighting hard on the city wall, did not care about observing the situation below. They were all at the end of their strength. If they continued to fight, no one could hold on. If he had not tried his best to support him, he would probably not be able to hold on now. Therefore, when he heard Li Ming's order, he shouted loudly: "As long as the lord's order, everyone jumped down!" After saying that, he used all his last little skill and slashed three palms in a row, forcing the enemy around him to take a few steps back. Taking advantage of the opportunity of a little relief from the pressure, several people jumped up and fell down under the city wall.
Even though Zhuang Ya has extraordinary martial arts, his light skills are not much better than Li Ming's. If he falls from the city wall that is nearly twenty meters long, he will still be seriously injured if no one responds. However, out of trust in Li Ming and there is no other way, he rashly led the remaining people to jump down.
Seeing the five people falling rapidly in the air, Li Ming shouted loudly: "Follow me if you have good light skills!" As he finished speaking, he soared into the air, approached Zhuang Ya quickly, and stretched out his palms to slap him quickly, slowing down the falling momentum of Zhuang Ya. Li Ming himself fell rapidly by this huge recoil force, landing on the ground with a loud bang, shattering several stones under his feet. Suddenly, the heart-wrenching pain made him almost faint.
Taking advantage of the slow down momentum, Zhuangya jumped up and quickly fattened towards the cliff next to him. His toes were a little on the rocks and landed lightly on the road. The other people, like the scholar Li Ming, rescued the other four people.
Although Li Ming's rash action this time caused many serious injuries, none of them died. This result surprised him. He saw that there was no one else on the city wall, and more than 30 units of the submission troops had already arrived. At this moment, oil tanks were constantly projecting onto the city wall. The strong smell of gasoline had already filled the surrounding air.
Seeing that the enemy was about to lift a large piece of stone and throw it down again, Li Ming was very anxious. More than 30 catapults have just been set up. Once they are hit by the enemy's catapults, his attack will be completely destroyed. In a hurry, he ordered loudly: "Please be careful with the ignition officer, project the rocket on immediately and ignite the fire!"
Hearing the order, the ignition personnel who had been on standby pressed a thick crossbow arrow on the set up bed crossbow, lit the fire cloth on the crossbow arrow, and then pulled the trigger of the bed crossbow above the city wall.
