Chapter 113: The Eagle Folds Its Wings (5)
Not long after the siege began, the battle in the south of the city had already entered a white-hot one, and the enemy infantry soldiers were fearless and fierce in a row, and finally made progress. A large number of enemy troops climbed up the ladder to the top of the city and engaged the veterans defending the city in hand-to-hand combat. Even outside the city wall guarded by Jiang Ning, several ladders have been erected.
Before he could ignite the fire, the sword light accompanied by the whirring wind suddenly hit, Jiang Ning almost subconsciously grabbed the divine arm bow leaning against the female wall, the crossbow body made of fine iron was sparked by this knife, and the foot also pushed back a few steps violently, just like that, a stout military man climbed up to the top of the city, and he wanted to jump down.
Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and threw the fire oil bomb in his hand, and the soldier saw a black ball flying, and quickly raised the big shield in his hand to block it, and the unlit fire bomb was immediately bounced away, but his feet standing on the battlement were also a little floating. Jiang Ning took the opportunity to rush over, his shoulder against the big shield, the military man couldn't stand up, fell on his back, and let out a miserable howl.
As with him, fierce battles were being fought at the various battlements of the southern gate wall, and where the veterans of the forbidden army were guarding, the enemy army was not so easy to attack. But with such a long wall, there are always places where only Yi Yong stands behind, so this is often the main breakthrough point for the enemy.
Putting down the divine arm bow that saved his life again, Jiang Ning turned around and picked up a hook gun, which is also the standard configuration of the defenders, different from the big gun he usually uses, the tip of this gun is relatively short, followed by an iron hook with a small bend, this is not used to hook people, but to pull down the ladder on the head of the city.
The bottom is also a gun, Jiang Ning, who was holding it in his hand, suddenly seemed to be a different person, calmly and calmly sealed several battlements in the vicinity, and the tip of the gun focused on the legs and feet that could not be covered.
Sweeping down an enemy army who desperately climbed to the top of the city, Jiang Ning felt that something was wrong, several battlements on the city wall were breached, and the defenders forced the enemy to retreat to the side of the city tower, gradually more and more people, his pressure suddenly increased greatly, and the hook gun in his hand was no longer as open as it was at the beginning, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The walls were lost, and the gates were breached in their own hands? The first thing that rose in the young Jiang Ning's heart was not sadness, but deep shame. What has just taken over, the enemy's attack is unprepared, in the mind of his own father, there are no such excuses, why do you survive? Is it a laughing stock to be publicly enforced by military law?
Jiang Ning, who was supported by these feelings, vigorously swept down an enemy saber player, ignoring the strong wind flashing behind him, and the hook gun in his hand slammed straight into the chest of another enemy, the familiar feeling of the tip of the gun entering the flesh came, but he was hit his back, and under the severe pain, Jiang Ning fell forward, and he habitually pulled out the saber on his waist with a movement in his hand.
"Major General, where is the injury, does it matter?" was helped to stand up, Jiang Ning's ears sounded with concern, he shook his head and turned to look, several old soldiers surrounded and blocked the man, the pain made him sober up a lot, his general flag has not fallen, the city tower is still in his hands, these sergeants still need to listen to his orders.
"Formation, stay here, reinforcements will arrive soon." Jiang Ning rushed over, cut off the head of the enemy foot soldier who was held up with a sword, and shouted loudly holding the head of this small leader, the forbidden army on the city tower all discharged the array according to the order, forming a military formation, blocking the enemy's siege on three sides.
"Command for so-and-so!" Standing in the formation and watching the enemy continue to climb the city wall, Jiang Ning's eyes swept over his flag, the scene of the battle of the North Gate appeared in his mind that day, and he suddenly remembered something, he lowered his head and instructed the old capital, and then pointed to his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.
The old man looked at him puzzled, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and not long after, a war horse galloped up the city tower from the ramp and stopped behind the military formation. Jiang Ning returned the knife into the sheath, took his big gun from the horse, turned over and stepped on the horse.
"There are still brothers there, come when you go!" Jiang Ning, who was on the horse, saw that there were still his own people on the city wall to resist, he roared, his legs were strong, and the horse under his crotch began to move forward, the distance was too short and there was no room to start slowly, so he used his strength at the beginning.
Hearing his shout, the forbidden army in front hurriedly let go of a gap, in the stunned expressions of everyone in the military formation, Jiang Ning had already rushed to the horse road on the city wall like a dragon with a spear in his hand, and the old man had no time to stop him, so he had to stomp his feet to take over the command, shouting the crossbowmen behind the army formation to cover for him.
The besieging enemy foot soldiers raised their heads inexplicably, and a tall black shadow rushed over in the light of the torches, and the sound of the gradual sound of hooves was heard in the ears like a death talisman, cavalry? How could there be cavalry in the city wall, the head of the foot soldier was messy for a while, and the sword and shield in his hand couldn't help but let go, and the raised horse's hooves kicked him upside down and flew away, and the blood in his mouth spurted wildly.
Slowed down by these foot soldiers, Jiang Ning felt that the speed had slowed down, his legs clamped the horse's belly again, regardless of the pain in his back, the big gun had already been deployed in his hand, sweeping and stabbing, short twist and straight stab, unstoppably galloping on the horse road, for a time the enemy army who attacked the city head jumped off the city wall either dead or dead, seeing his bravery, the morale of the few forbidden troops at the besieged city head was greatly boosted, and they all followed him to counterattack back.
The city wall he had cleared was returned to the hands of the defenders again, and the military formation on the city tower was also less pressurized, Jiang Ning turned to the other side without stopping, and once again rushed away from the besieging enemy army. The war horse galloped wantonly, and the heavy spear lifted the body of an enemy foot soldier into the air, but he didn't notice that not far away an officer with a big axe was coldly watching him rush towards him.
Dodging, slashing, the big axe slashed diagonally at the horse's legs, and the startled war horse suddenly stopped, and the hooves under the forebody had already risen into the air, and it was worthy of dodging the blow. The huge inertia threw the defenseless Jiang Ning off the horse, and the spear flew out of his hand, and before he could get up, the axe shadow with the sound of the wind had already slashed his head, Jiang Ning subconsciously rolled to the side, but unexpectedly it was already the edge of the horse road.
The moment he fell off the city wall, Jiang Ning instinctively stretched out his hands, but fortunately grabbed the gap on the side, but his whole body fell into the air. "Haha" A cruel laugh sounded, and the light of the fire, which was blown by the wind, shone out a square face with a short beard, watching the enemy approach step by step with a big axe, falling to death or being hacked to death? As soon as Jiang Ning's eyes were closed, he wanted to let go.
Suddenly, a scream came into his ears, and the sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air came in an instant, Jiang Ning opened his eyes in disbelief, and a big axe fell on the horse road with a "bell", its owner staggered and covered his chest, and the black arrow feathers were only half exposed outside, which showed how powerful this arrow was, and there was also an arrow stuck in his forehead and thigh, which turned out to be a continuous shot!
The half-squatting pheasant slave on the city tower not far away sighed lightly, she used all her strength for this shot just now, for fear that it would not be effective, and even took out the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box, and finally saved the guy. Shaking his head and standing up, the pheasant slave walked quickly to the front of the road, bent down and grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist, and pulled him down forcefully.
Until he climbed the city wall, Jiang Ning was still stunned like a dream, and there was nothing between heaven and earth in his eyes except for this heroic girl. Picking up the big bow that was set aside, the pheasant found that his spear had fallen under the female wall, walked over to pick it up, and handed it back to him, but who knew but there was no movement.
"Hey, are you stupid?" The pheasant slave glared at him angrily, and threw the gun over casually, Jiang Ning took it in a daze, and the moment the spear was in his hands, he came back to his senses, and wanted to thank him, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
The old soldiers of the forbidden army brought by the pheasant slave had already rushed over, and the morale of the new army immediately drove the enemy army at the head of the city down, and the pheasant slave drew a feather arrow, but found that there was no enemy in sight, and couldn't help but skim the chattering young man beside him in disgust.
Jiang Ning, who knew that he was a little rude, retracted his gaze, the city wall of the south gate had been basically recovered, and the old soldiers were cheering for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Very strong, sit down, the doctor will be here in a while." The pheasant slave pressed him down on the horse road, and Jiang Ning, who was unsteady on his feet, sat down with a stagger, and his violent movements made him feel great pain again, cold sweat ran down his cheeks, and he couldn't help but snort.
Looking at his expression, the pheasant slave smiled a little embarrassedly, turned to look at the wound on his back, and saw that the iron armor and the skin lining were all cut open, and the long mouth was dripping with blood, and the flesh and blood were tumbling and exposed, which looked a little shocking.
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's nothing." Sensing the girl's concern, Jiang Ning hurriedly spoke out.
"Hey, you don't move here, stay for a while and let the doctor stitch a few stitches, it will be fine soon, this city gate, I will guard it for you, rest assured." The pheasant slave whispered, and Jiang Ning, who had never heard her speak so gently, nodded hurriedly.
"Reinforcements are coming, and the Tartars will succeed." The pheasant slave stood up and looked at the city, and there were reinforcements? Jiang Ning turned his head to follow her gaze, a team of strangely dressed people came over carrying a mess of various weapons, how did they not look like sergeants, where did this come from?
"This is what Brother Yu Taishou found, they are all green skins in the city, and now there is no one to adjust, so make do with it." Hearing the pheasant slave's explanation, Jiang Ning nodded and stopped talking, and Chen Xiaoyi under the city roared loudly at the people who had just arrived with a ghost-headed big knife, trying to make the splashes stand in a line.
Jiang Ning closed his eyes gently, only to feel a little tired on his body, this moment is really good, he only hopes that time will stop and be like this forever.
