The Frontier Years Chapter 56 The Fall of the City

Lei Shaoxuan rushed forward, kicked Shi Yan to the ground, pounced on him, and kept throwing himself on him with sand, and soon the fire was extinguished, and the iron egg was still rolling on the ground, fortunately, the fire was not big, and it was quickly extinguished by Lei Shaoxuan.

Everyone thinks that the black oil cannot be extinguished, as long as someone is ignited by the black oil, they can basically only wait for death, and few outsiders go up to save it, Lei Shaoxuan's move is undoubtedly regarded as sacrificing his life to save people.

Shi Yan and Tie Dan were even more grateful, but on the battlefield, but it was not the time to be grateful, Li Hui was about to go up the ladder, but was pulled by Lei Shaoxuan: "Going up like this is no different from sending him to death." ”

"Retreat from the battle, military law will deal with it, and the law enforcement team will cut you directly. Shi Yan saw it and hurriedly said.

Before the words fell, a stern voice came.

"Team Eleven, why did you retreat, you couldn't get up the ladder after grinding, and you wanted to die?"

Captain Han walked over with a black face, followed by five tall sergeants, holding guns and knives, and carrying big bows, which were the patrolling battle overseers.

"Such a siege, not to mention that it can't go up and there are heavy casualties, I have a way. Lei Shaoxuan hurriedly said.

Lei Shaoxuan didn't expect the team to come so soon, and three of them had already put their arrows on their bows.

It is no wonder that they are so nervous, there have been many cases in the past, soldiers who know that they will die mutiny in battle, and they have ruined major things, this is a bloody lesson, and they cannot be left unvigilant.

Therefore, when they saw the retreating soldiers, the overseers directly mounted their bows and arrows, and shot the soldiers who moved at any time, just in case.

"Say what, or go up the ladder at once." ”

When Captain Han heard that there was a way, his tone softened, and his eyes were fixed on Lei Shaoxuan.

"After a day's siege, the number of defenders on the city walls was still quite large, and there was no sign of abating, but the fatigue was difficult to hide, and the number of spills of black oil and hot soup did not decrease, indicating that the garrison was well supplied and the soldiers were insufficient, and the soldiers were exhausted because they could not be rotated and rested. Even so, if the siege method remained the same, it was not known how many lives would have been spent to climb the walls. ”

Lei Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We need to change the siege method. ”

"How?"

Captain Han is just a low-level officer, he usually obeys orders, and rarely has the opportunity to break off on the spot, he doesn't believe that Lei Shaoxuan can do anything, but it's not bad to delay for a while.

"The defenders of the city are so tired that as long as they concentrate their elite to occupy one city, they will not be able to stop it, so we need to concentrate our attacks on one place in order to break through. Lei Shaoxuan pointed to the wall.

"What to do, say quickly. Captain Han waved his hand and said.

Everyone understands the truth, if it's so simple, it takes so many people to attack the city?

"Can you secretly gather twenty strong archers and press down a wall with bows and arrows to prevent the defenders from showing their heads? My brother is very fast, first go to the head of the city to occupy a place, and then choose a few strong warriors to follow, as long as he can hold the city wall for a moment, the soldiers behind can keep up and take the city. This matter is important in a quick word, and it cannot be noticed by the soldiers defending the city, and it needs to be carried out secretly. ”

Captain Han and Shi Yanchang looked at each other, nodded, felt that this matter was feasible, and said, "I need to ask General Feng, he is in command at the front." ”

Not long after, Captain Han and a large group of people, surrounded by a middle-aged man with silver helmet and silver armor and medium stature, walked over.

Shi Yan and the others hurriedly knelt down: "See General Feng." ”

Feng Ziying, the commander of the forward battalion, came over.

Lei Shaoxuan secretly looked at this famous general, who was about forty or fifty years old, and as a general of the forward battalion, he looked kind.

"It was this person's idea, his name is Lei Shaoxuan. Captain Han pointed at Lei Shaoxuan and said.

"This person doesn't have a dry milk, what do you know? A scribe-looking figure next to Feng Ziying shook his head.

"It is not difficult for the archers to suppress the wall above, but at most it is enough to suppress thirty breaths, and who can climb the wall with a ladder at thirty breaths? What's more, on the city wall, the passage is narrow, and the soldiers defending the city are rushing up, where can a few people guard the arrival of reinforcements. ”

Feng Ziying thought about it and felt that it was not feasible, if she wanted to capture the city wall, there would be no more breakthroughs or not enough space to accommodate the siege force, even if she attacked it, it would not last long.

In the past, it was necessary to break through the city wall, most of them were to break through at multiple points, attack the city wall one after another, connect them together, or break the city gate and break the city wall, and only when a sufficient number of soldiers could they break through the city, and a few people could not hold it even if they climbed up, Lei Shaoxuan's idea was a little whimsical.

"General, I'll go up with him, his name is Li Hui, and his speed is so fast that we can climb up in thirty breaths. ”

Lei Shaoxuan pointed at Li Hui and said.

"The villain is willing to go!" Li Hui knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute.

"Another young man?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised.

"They came from death rows. Captain Han said hurriedly.

As soon as these words came out, no one spoke, so how could the people in the death row camp be sent to death so easily? Others didn't know what the people in the death row camp were like, so how could the most core people in the forward camp not know?

Since they are people from death row camps, they must be quite sure of what they say, and people from death row camps are more desperate than anyone else, but they are not afraid of death more than anyone else, and they dare to work harder than anyone else.

"The little ones are willing to go together. Captain Han knelt down on one knee and said.

"I'm willing to wait. Shi Yan said.

"I'm willing to go. ”

“......”

There were still a few people behind General Feng who came out to ask for battle, and Feng Ziying's side suddenly fell to his knees, which made Lei Shaoxuan feel surprised, and a little disapproving, there were even fools who were willing to die! This kind of thing Lei Shaoxuan couldn't wait to hide back, if it wasn't Li Hui's turn to go up the ladder, Lei Shaoxuan wouldn't bother to care about it.

"Okay! They couldn't attack for a day, so our forward battalion took it in one go. ”

Feng Ziying raised her hand to stop all the arguments, morale was available, and failure was not a good way to try.

"Capture Shile City, you should make the first contribution, and you will not hesitate to reward!"

Twenty archers, Li Hui, Lei Shaoxuan, Captain Han, Shi Yan and the rest of the selected sergeants came to the city wall.

Everyone unloaded the excess equipment on their bodies and selected the most convenient weapons, Lei Shaoxuan and Li Hui deliberately chose a thin and slightly longer saber, and the rest chose a long-handled large chopping knife, which was originally a big killing weapon against cavalry, and it was also a sharp weapon for a large-scale attack, as long as they could occupy the city wall, these big slashers would be a nightmare for the soldiers defending the city, provided that they could be attacked.

All the hopes were pressed on Li Hui and Lei Shaoxuan.

The night was thick, smoke was billowing everywhere, and no one noticed an ordinary ladder, slowly rising against the city wall.

Several archers closely monitored the city walls, and when they spotted the defenders with probes, they suddenly fired cold arrows, which only slightly reduced the density of the defenders' defenses in order to avoid attracting attention.

When the top of the ladder approached the city wall, Captain Han shouted at the archers: "Attack!"

In an instant, twenty archers at the same time unleashed their bows and arrows, aiming at the wall above, and the rain of arrows like locusts covered a section of the wall.

Li Hui grabbed the ladder and rushed up, Lei Shaoxuan followed, Captain Han then climbed up quickly, and several sergeants with the best martial arts followed closely behind, and quickly climbed away.

The defenders on the city wall noticed something unusual, but as soon as they probed, they were shot back by bows and arrows.

The archers continued to fire volleys, raining arrows from both sides of the wall near the top of the ladder, instantly clearing a gap in the wall.

Li Hui tapped his feet lightly, his hands did not touch the ladder, and his speed was so fast that it almost seemed to float up.

The sergeants on the city wall were in a commotion, and the shouts were everywhere, attracting the attention of the defenders on the left and right sides of the ladder on the city wall, and seeing that the sergeants on the ladder were suppressed by bows and arrows, they realized that something was wrong, so they organized the sergeants to shoot arrows at the ladder outside the range of bows and arrows on the left and right, and the city wall was in chaos.

Li Hui's speed was too block, only Lei Shaoxuan could barely keep up, Captain Han was still climbing up the ladder step by step, and Li Hui had already jumped high and jumped to the city wall.

The defenders cowered behind the city wall, and when they saw Li Hui falling from the sky, they were shocked, and suddenly got up and surrounded them, slashing with knives and stabbing with guns.

Li Hui instantly found that the soles of his feet were full of blades and spears, like a forest of thorns, and there was no place to settle at all.

Li Hui was not afraid of danger, seeing that his feet could not touch the ground, he twisted his body in the air, slashed down with a knife, opened a gap, and his body fell.

Li Hui fell from the air, and before his feet could stand firmly, countless knives and guns slashed at Li Hui's body.

Li Hui rolled over with a knife, and with a stroke of the knife, he cut over countless right feet, and suddenly countless sergeants fell.

However, Li Hui didn't have time to turn around, and countless knives and guns on the left slashed over, at this time, Li Hui's knife moves were old and exhausted, and he didn't have time to change his tricks to dodge, so he could only watch countless knives and guns to crush his feet.

Between the lightning and the fire, a knife pushed aside the countless knives and guns that stabbed Li Hui's lower body.

Lei Shaoxuan arrived in time and stood back to back with Li Hui.

Lei Shaoxuan and Li Hui didn't have time to catch their breath, and when the soldiers on the city wall were frightened, they quickly killed on both sides.

Lei Shaoxuan used a knife with great efficiency, and forced the soldiers to retreat with a few knives, and the city wall was cramped, Lei Shaoxuan took advantage of the situation to rush left and right, quickly cut down a few, and cleared a small open space.

With the space to use the knife, Lei Shaoxuan smiled, and no one could resist him.

The archers under the city wall saw Lei Shaoxuan and Li Hui on the city wall, and quickly used their bows and arrows to extend and suppress them on both sides, making sure not to let the soldiers on both sides of the city wall gather.

Not long after, Captain Han and others rushed up one after another, completely occupying a vacant lot and opening a gap in the city wall.

With the strength of Lei Shaoxuan and Li Hui, as well as the bravery of the other sergeants of the forward battalion who followed one after another, the gap quickly spread to both sides, and the defenders could no longer resist it.

When the gates were opened, the city of Shile was like a gentle lamb, waiting for its master.

The city was in a sea of fire, there was fire everywhere, the city of Schle was burning, and the night sky was bright.

After the order to slaughter the city was issued, it was burned, killed, forced, looted, and plundered...... There were weeping and howling everywhere, and seeing that the great thing had gone, the defenders broke through the west gate one after another, and only the people were left as trophies.

The streets were littered with corpses, broken walls, burning fires, messy weapons scattered on the ground, horses scurrying, and sergeants kicking the doors......

A scene of a tragic massacre.
