Chapter 220 Funeral Team

"ah!"

"kill!"

"Go to die!"

"Kill the Red Clothed Thieves!"

"Destroy the Mongolian Tartars!" In the early morning, the sound of killing outside the city was shocking the sky, while the common people in the city hid at home and shivered. Various shouts rang out on the city and under the city, and human life became the cheapest thing at this moment.

Compared with the Khan battlefield in the north, which is like a meat grinder, there are not so many lives to sacrifice in Eastern Mongolia. However, the prisoners captured before have become disposable consumables in Eastern Mongolia. Under the counterattack of the defenders, people die every moment.

Fortunately, the "Funeral Team" mixed in the prisoner's army also approached the city gate!

"Don't let them get close to the city gate and shoot me!" Guoan Yong also noticed this team with strange behavior and immediately ordered the archers to shoot in a concentrated manner.

For a moment, the "Fuing Team" suffered a violent blow.

"These red-coated thieves!" The captain of the 'Fuing Team' looked at his soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground, and his eyes immediately turned red. The coffin filled with gunpowder also fell to the ground due to the vacancy of the coffin carryer, which caused the power to be imbalanced and he fell to the ground.

With a bang, gunpowder spilled along the gaps in the coffin to the ground, and the pungent smell suddenly diluted the fishy smell of blood.

Just then, several ignited rockets shot from the top of the city. When the sparks touched the gunpowder, a rumbling sound occurred and a death-death explosion occurred. Including the captain of the funeral team and the nearby prisoners who were forced to charge, they were all covered by the explosion fire.

On the top of the city, Guoan could not help but think that it was so dangerous when he saw the terrifying explosion under the city. If the coffin was really brought close to the city gate, it would be hard to say that the city gate could still stand.

But there are three funeral teams!

The next one has already exploded, and the other has lost the motivation to charge due to the serious shortage of personnel. There is only the last one, and the speed of the charge was not as fast as the first two, and because he saw the enemy's intentions, he specially asked more prisoners to protect the surroundings in order to act as human-shaped flesh shields.

At this moment, the death of the explosion just now attracted the attention of the defenders, so the team quickly approached the city gate, which was less than a hundred meters away. The copper nails on the city gate could be seen clearly.

Temulun watched the funeral team performing in the rear. When he saw that the two were defeated by the defenders and only one of them was difficult to approach the city gate, he immediately understood that he had to do something to attract the enemy's attack. Otherwise, the hundred meters would only become the natural barrier for the funeral team!

So he immediately ordered the craftsmen to bring the few catapults and thunderbolts to the battlefield in order to temporarily suppress the enemy's counterattack.

These catapults and thunderbolts were all produced by military craftsmen in recent days. They wanted to move them out and use them at the critical moment of the siege in order to achieve unexpected results. But now, the success or failure of the funeral team is also related to whether the city gate can be opened, so there is no need to continue to hide their shortcomings.

Under his command, eleven catapults and seven thunderbolts were moved to the best range. Amid the harsh whistle, the catapults and thunderbolts began to operate one after another.

Boom boom boom...

"Do not to escape!" Guoan immediately shouted loudly by noting the rapid arrival of huge rocks and sparks that were burning, and even suddenly exploded into fireballs.

Without his orders, the defenders knew that the stones and fireballs thrown by the Mongols were not easy to mess with. They lay on the wall, or rushed down the city gate tower, and corners.

It was almost time for the time being that the first wave of boulders and fireballs had hit the wall.

When he saw a huge rock hit the head of the city, he immediately crushed several hiding soldiers into meat paste. The other party had no time to shout and lost his life. Not only that, a large pit appeared on the head of the city. The unlucky soldier's legs were pressed under the head of the city and screamed. Suddenly, a fireball hit, and with a bang, a trace of charred and blood was added to the head of the city.

Such a scene happened everywhere on the city wall. Sometimes due to violent vibrations in the wall, some unlucky soldiers fell off the city wall and died tragically on the spot. Some of them were slightly lucky to fall into the moat and might be able to save their lives by chance.

At the city gate, through the efforts of the prisoners' army, a temporary floating bridge built by wooden rafts was finally built with hundreds of lives. After a series of reductions in staff, the funeral team finally rushed to the floating bridge with difficulty.

As long as you pass through the floating bridge, the city gate will be near.

At this time, the defenders also weakened their attacks on the city due to the counterattack from Eastern Mongolia.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Hu Wei, the centurion of the second detachment of the "Fuing Team", walked at the front of the team, and the heavy wooden beam pressed on his shoulders, making his steps a little heavy. When he stepped onto the not-so-stable floating bridge, the entire floating bridge sank a little while shaking.

The members of the funeral team also suddenly became unstable in the center of gravity, and almost caused the coffin on their shoulder to fall off the floating bridge.

As the "Fuing Team" with the highest mortality rate, the treatment in the army is also the best. Not only does the family get more benefits, but the salary in the army is more. After successfully breaking the city, military merits are also the fastest.

Hu Wei was just a recruit before, and the reason why he became a centurion so quickly was promoted through the dangerous task of the funeral team. Although this was easy to lose his life, like the two teams that had been with them before, they had dinner and talked with each other before leaving. Some of them were his fellow townsmen.

But now, it has become a dead soul under Yidu City.

But even with such a lesson, Hu Wei did not regret it. He was not afraid of death! There were seven people in his family, and if he died, the government would give them ten acres of Yongye land. With these, as long as there were no natural disasters or man-made disasters, no one would starve to death in the family. In addition, everything he obtained on the battlefield would be returned to his family, and he felt that his death was worth it.

What's more, if you make another contribution this time, you can't move the position of the head of the hundred households.

Wow, swow, swow, swow,... Several arrows suddenly shot towards the floating bridge. A soldier standing on the edge was immediately shot and his body tilted. A person close to him quickly grabbed him, but the soldier was so painful that he could not use his strength, so he had to fall down softly.

Hu Wei was unwilling to give up all his efforts here, so he immediately shouted to let everyone speed up. Fortunately, the second wave of attacks in Eastern Mongolia was launched at this time, and the defenders on the city were once again suppressed and dared not show up.

Taking this opportunity, Hu Wei and his party finally carried the coffin to the city gate.

Was there were stones mixed with the flesh and blood of the human body falling from the city, and the funeral team had to risk being injured and rushed through the city gate.

When the city gate was only a few dozen steps away, although the defenders on the wall were at a disadvantage by the attack from the Eastern Mongolian, they did not dare to let the funeral team get close.

So Guoan used the risk of being hit by a huge rock and being killed by fire and thunder, and ordered several soldiers approaching to shoot arrows under the city. Although his accuracy was very poor, some people were still shot.

When the funeral team came to the city gate, the entire team had lost so much that only five people were left. The heavy coffin could not be carried, but was pushed and pulled forward.

When the lead was ignited, Hu Wei was left with only one soldier with his right leg injured.

"Boss, my family is in Sanyangtun, Liaoyang!" the soldier shouted at Hu Wei's back.

Hu Wei held back his tears, nodded heavily, and ran further along the corner of the wall.
Chapter completed!
