Chapter 534
: Fight hard
Suddenly, with a strange gust of wind, Heng Wu suddenly noticed that the bodies of the companions in front of him were frozen and fell to the ground. Then he heard the drum sound behind him become more rapid. Before Heng Wu could react, he felt that he was squeezed by the crowd and rushed forward involuntarily. Raindrop-like arrows shot towards him, and people kept falling down, but all the screams were suppressed by the drum sound. He entered a very strange state, as if some elves had controlled his body, quickly carrying the straw bag forward, stepping on his companion's body to the trench, and throwing the straw bag into the ditch. Perhaps it was for the blessing of his ancestors, Heng Wu did not even have the oily skin torn a little during this series of processes.
Just as Heng Wu was about to turn around and escape, he was hit hard on his back. He waved his hands in despair and wanted to grab something, he fell into the trench. Although there were sharp bamboo sticks at the bottom of the ditch, fortunately most of the bamboo sticks had been pressed by the straw bags. Heng Wu was not injured. He got up, grabbed the soil on the ditch wall with both hands and was about to climb up, but he was immediately knocked down by the straw bags thrown by his companions. Before he could get up, the straw bags that fell one after another buried him. Heng Wu's last impression of this world was a straw bag that fell quickly.
"Well, it's almost done!" On the hill, Chen Pan nodded with satisfaction and ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order down, beat the drum, and attack the city!"
As the flags shaking on the hills, the vanguard of the Huainan army began to move. Dozens of wooden donkeys and cloud ladders made creaking sounds, and began to move forward slowly amid the sound of trumpets. The civilians who threw the straw bags fled back from the gaps in the military formation in panic. The crossbows, catapults and other equipment with a long range on the city were also launched, killing and killing the siege army before the battle as much as possible. It would be even better if they could block or even destroy some of the siege equipment. As the distance between the two sides shortened, the casualties of the Huainan army vanguards increased sharply. Finally, the siege army crossed the trenches and began to demolish the sheep and horse wall behind so that the siege equipment behind could approach the city wall. The crossbowmen who accompanied them also began to shoot arrows at the city to cover the robe. The defenders at the city also began to suffer casualties, and from time to time, some people were caught and fell to the city.
With the efforts of the soldiers on the attacking side, several gaps were soon opened to the wall of the sheep and horses. The wooden donkey and cloud ladder began to move closer to the city wall through the gap. The arrows on the top of the city became more dense, and there were even rockets. However, the soldiers on the attacking side generally had large shields to cover the wall. The wooden donkey itself also had the function of protecting arrows, and the effect was very limited. Moreover, the Huainan army also took the opportunity of concentrating the firepower of the city guarding the city to climb the city army, moved the catapult machine tool crossbow and other equipment to a closer position and began to fire at the head of the city. The guards' casualties suddenly increased. Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than ten cloud ladders mounted the city wall, wearing armor and holding steel knives, Huainan selected the front of the city, climbing up to the top of the city.
"Hurry, use wolf teeth to pat it!" Lu Si shouted sternly. The disc he was responsible for defending was just next to Dongyang Gate. Seeing a ladder that had been ladder on the side of the city, the sharp barb was deeply embedded in the cracks of the wall. It was definitely impossible to push it. Judging from the shock on the ladder, four or five people had already climbed up. Judging from his experience, such a selection of the front is generally the elite one in a hundred, and the armored soldiers used are also the best. The crossbow may not be shot through, so it is better to use it for everyone.
With Lu Si's shout, several soldiers behind him carefully lifted a wooden stake of more than three feet long and hugged a thick wooden stake. There were thick ropes on both ends of the stake. The stake was covered with blades, and the cold light was so cold that it was like a wolf tooth. I guess the "wolf tooth pat" was named after this. Everyone lifted the "wolf tooth pat" to the entrance of the ladder, shouted a horn, and pushed it out suddenly. Suddenly, a scream outside, and probably the Huainan selection on the ladder had been smashed down by the "wolf tooth pat".
"Rare, pull it up!" Lu Si urged sternly, and his soldiers quickly pulled up the rough rope. It turned out that this "wolf teeth pat" was very expensive and it was not easy to make. If it was only smashed once, it would be quite worth it. So there were rough ropes on both ends. After smashing once, they could also pull them back to the top of the city and reuse them. It was quite ingenious. But the soldiers pulled it twice but couldn't pull it, as if they were stuck. They pulled it away with force. They only saw a rough rope coming up. It was obvious that the breaking point was cut off by the Huainan soldiers under the city.
"Damn it!" Lu Si spat, and the end of the ladder began to vibrate again. Obviously, the attack just now did not deter the enemy. The Huainan Army's selection leader came up from the ladder again. The defenders behind him picked up their spears and pointed them at the end of the ladder, but Lu Si did not stand with his subordinates, but squatted down against the female wall.
Soon, the red tassel of the iron helmet was exposed at the first ladder. The guards, who had already been strong enough, pierced the iron helmet. The sharp gun blade pierced the iron helmet, but there was no expected scream. Everyone was stunned. Then they tightened their hands and the spear was actually grabbed by the gun. It turned out that the Huainan Army had very rich practical experience in selecting the front selection of the front selection. Knowing that the guards must have held their strength and gave him a blow, he used a horizontal knife to sway his helmet, luring the opponent to act hastily, so he showed his flaws, and indeed succeeded. The guards who were caught with the spear subconsciously took back hard. The guards who were caught with the spear jumped and jumped onto the top of the city, slashed down, and the guards who were caught with the spear had to abandon the gun and retreat. Seeing that the guards were about to take a foothold at the top of the city and opened a gap.
"Peptide!" The selection striker cut off a spear that was pierced by a slash. He was about to press forward step by step and ended up with the opponent. He felt a sensation in his lower back. It turned out that Lu Si was squatting beside the female wall, just in the corner of the selection striker's sight. He suddenly attacked and succeeded in one fell swoop. The defenders took advantage of the situation and immediately stabbed the selection striker like a blood gourd and died on the spot. But at this moment, the Huainan army ladder behind him went up, and even more cruel hand-to-hand combat began.
"Liu Da, grit your teeth again, reinforcements are coming!" Lu Si waved the horizontal knife in his hand as quickly as possible, while motivating his companions beside him in anger. "Second brother, I can't stand it anymore. If you can go, just leave. Don't get stuck here together. There is no one to report a letter to the brothers." Liu Da replied pantingly. He had lost the ability to counterattack, and could only hold a big shield in both hands and hide behind barely.
Blocking the enemy's sting. At this time, there were very few guards left on this section of the city wall, and the Huainan soldiers were rushing up from the ladder. Lu Si and Liu Daben could also escape, but several of their companions who fled back from the city were injured and fell to the ground and could not escape. Their group finally survived from Liaozhou and had an extraordinary friendship. When Lu and Liu hesitated, they were intercepted by the Huainan soldiers. They could not leave now.
Lu Sidang shot him in the face. He was about to speak, but he felt a weak energy and his soles became weak. He quickly supported the ground with a horizontal knife and almost knelt down. The Huainan soldiers around him were not in a hurry at this time, but just surrounded them, forced them with a spear, and laughed loudly.
Seeing Lu, Liu and the other two were about to become prisoners and let the mermaid meat. Only a dull shock sound was heard. Before Lu Si could react, he felt a hot face. The Huainan soldiers in front of him fell to the ground. When he reached out to touch it, he was covered in blood. Liu Da was very clever and threw Lu Si to the ground. The two of them became rolling gourds. It turned out that the guard of Dongyang Gate had seen that the gap had been opened by the Huainan soldiers. Although there were reinforcements in his hand, his morale was low. I was afraid that if the reinforcements came up, they would touch the Huainan army's selection.
Then he collapsed, and instead impulsed to the other parts of the defense line. So he turned around several Baniu Bed Crossbows used to attack the city and fired at the gap, intending to disrupt the opponent's position first, and then let the reinforcements charge and regain the gap. However, he did not expect that the long iron wings shot from the crossbows not only disrupted the Huainan Army's position on the top of the city, but also happened to hit the cloud ladder, which broke the cloud ladder. For a moment, the reinforcements of the Huainan Army could not help but boosted their morale when they saw this. They rushed forward and blocked the gap.
After the defenders regained this section of the city wall, the war also stagnated for a while. Although the defenders were tired and unable to get excited, the Huainan troops on the attack side also lost a lot of Ruishi equipment and needed to be revolved to rest in case of another battle. Lu and Liu and other wounded soldiers were carried down the city and placed in the corner to rest. They thought they would die, but they did not expect to survive again, but they actually saved their lives. For a moment, they didn't know whether they were happy or angry, and they should cry or laugh. They just sat blankly under the corner of the wall, their eyes facing the sky, and they could not speak for a long time. After a long time, the two of them suddenly hugged their heads and cried bitterly.
The two cried for a long time, and Lu Si felt a little hungry in his stomach. Seeing the civilians beside him bringing porridge, they got up and scooped two bowls, took them over, and ate with Liu Da. After the two of them took a few bites, Liu Da suddenly sighed: "The Huainan soldiers are so powerful. It's only the first two days. The moat and the sheep and horse wall were almost peeled off. I don't know how the Zhenhai Army resisted the fierce attack of these evil thieves!"
Lu Si did not answer the other party's words, but just lowered his head to eat porridge, but Liu Da did not eat porridge, just looked at Lu Si, and saw that the other party was just eating porridge, ignoring him. He finally couldn't help but slapped the bowl of porridge on the ground and said sternly: "Second brother, you still have the appetite to eat porridge, so you have to think about the funeral!"
However, Lu Si seemed to have not heard Liu Da's words, and finished his bowl of porridge in vain and picked up Liu Da's bowl of porridge. The food was very sweet, which made Liu dai laugh and cry, and he had no choice but to do anything to him.
At this moment, the group came over. The man in charge of the leader was wearing iron armor and a green cloak. The general responsible for guarding Dongyang Gate. The group walked to Lu Si and stopped. The personal soldiers in front shouted loudly: "Are you Lu Si responsible for guarding Ding and Wu Er Die?"
When Lu Si was asked about his name, he was shocked. He quickly put down the porridge bowl, bowed and said, "It's a villain!"
The general nodded, with a smile on his originally stern face and said in a deep voice: "You are Lu Si. You fought to the death when you were defending the city just now, and you saved Dongyang Gate without losing it. You did a good job!"
"This is just the duty of a villain!" Lu Si was about to say a few humble words, but was stopped by the general of the town and continued, "I will reward you for your contributions and punish you for your mistakes. If you fight to the death, you will have merits. If you don't give a lot of rewards, how can I defeat the enemy? Come!" With the command of the general of the town, the personal soldiers behind him held a plate with a lot of copper coins on it. The general of the town took the plate and handed it over, and smiled and said, "The twenty-six scoops are rewarded for you!" Then he raised his voice again: "Lu Si has made great contributions in fighting, and was moved to the head of the Xindudu, accompanying the Rong Cunzi, and immediately take effect. He will report to his parents for the Japanese general to report to the top of the peak and issue it with the imperial edict!"
Lu Si was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he came to his senses and bowed and asked in a low voice: "Forgive the villain's ignorance. There are only seven people in the left box. What about those brothers who are in charge of this villain?"
