Chapter 149: A Dilemma (3)

He remembered that the world record for men's pole vault was more than six meters, and with a little more effort, he could directly climb to the top of the city.

Of course, the thieves did not hold the pole, and just when Liu Yu was annoyed, the first thieves braved the rain of arrows in the city, and untied the rope on their shoulders while running, and countless ziplines were thrown into the sky.

With a "bell" sound, right under his nose, a five-clawed iron grabbed and hung on the city bricks at the battlement, and then was suddenly tightened, firmly grasped into the gap, and the rope tied to the back was pulled straight, and the thief stepped forward, and climbed up to the top of the city with a few ups and downs, with a sharp blade in his mouth, and a smiling expression was almost in front of his eyes.

"Be careful."

Before Liu Yu could react, the guard's personal soldiers blocked him behind him, and the two sabers struck him left and right, forcing the thief to stand unsteadily, and fell down with a "plop", screams sounded everywhere in all directions, and I don't know if it was the thief or the defender.

Such a peculiar way of attacking the city opened Liu Yu's eyes, perhaps in the eyes of the thieves, this not high city is like a big ship in the sea, and they are just jumping boats.

After a moment of panic, the defenders fought with the thieves who had ascended to the top of the city, and it seemed that the strict military training of more than ten days had played a role, and they were not scattered and fled by the surprise of the enemy.

Liu Yu and the others retreated a little, the thieves not only climbed quickly, but even the arrows were shot very accurately, and the low city wall was not blocked by the moat, and the arrows shot up from under the city were not much more difficult than shooting down, and if they stood in front, they would be killed.

"Leave me alone, go help."

Seeing that the shape was not good, Liu Yu commanded left and right, these personal soldiers were personally allocated by Jiang Cai, in order to protect him thoroughly, there was a lack of experienced veterans in the city, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he had to keep the city safe before Jiang Cai's troops arrived.

He didn't know what the situation was elsewhere, the attack on the city wall at the main gate was extremely fierce, Liu Yu had seen the thief jump up more than once, he pressed the idea of turning on the walkie-talkie to urge Jiang Cai, and chose to continue waiting.

At this moment, Jiang Cai's troops outside the city have already begun to act, they are leading the horses one by one towards the direction of the seaside, the sound of fighting from the direction of the county town can be heard clearly, their steps do not feel faster, hoping to be in place as soon as possible and start to attack.

"Hurry up, keep up."

Jiang Cai also led the horse to the side of the line, and his mouth kept urging words, he knew that the brothers had gone fast, but he couldn't help but speak.

Who doesn't know, the sooner they arrive, the sooner the county will be relieved of the danger, and no one knows how the thieves are attacking now. In a hurry, how could they not be, everyone bit their lower lip and hurried away, slowly accelerating step by step, almost turning into a trot.

"There's a fire over there."

Suddenly, one of his personal soldiers pointed to the distance and said, Jiang Cai stopped and turned his head to look, yes, a thick column of smoke rose from the sky, which was very dazzling in the empty four fields.

"It's Lingao County."

There is no need to be reminded by his own soldiers, he also knows where it is, the thieves are obviously attacking Qiongshan County, how could they run to Lingao at the same time, which is thirty miles away, and there is only one valuable target there, the city is still under construction!

Jiang Cai hesitated a little, Liu Yu's purpose for coming here was for the sake of this city, he didn't know what the consequences would be if there was a loss there, but at the moment, Qiongshan County was also in danger, and there were a lot of thieves besieging the city, and he couldn't take care of this little soldier at all.

Time was passing minute by minute, because he himself stopped, although the team around him was still moving forward, the speed did not seem to slow down, it seemed that everyone was waiting for his decision, whether to continue the previous plan, or to go over there to rescue?

"Shi Zhong, you lead twenty people over to take a look, if the thieves are overwhelming, don't fight hard, just escort Zeng Shilang away."

After weighing it, Jiang Cai immediately made a decision, as long as the chief officer was guaranteed to be fine, there was no way to lose some supplies. At present, he can only take care of the main goal first, defeat them first, and relieve the siege of Qiongshan, so that he has the strength to think about other things.

Although he was a little reluctant, Shi Zhong still took the order, which was to appease his trust, because it was in the other direction, more than twenty people turned over their horses and galloped away in the direction of the rising pillar of smoke.

"Follow so-and-so, run."

Jiang Cai let out a low cry and led the horse to run quickly, and the whole team suddenly increased speed under his leadership, like a torrent rushing forward.

"Jiang Cai, you shit, you haven't shown up yet."

On the tower of Qiongshan County, Liu Yu still pretended to be calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, although the city wall was still in his hands, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and even the guards were almost all injured, and they had urged him to leave several times.

But he knew that he couldn't go, the county man rushed to other places, he, a scarlet-robed civil official, was the backbone of this place, and the reason why the defenders were still struggling to support it was of course because they saw him still standing there, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.

"Behind you are parents, wives and children, everyone work harder to block the thieves, don't let them succeed, reinforcements will arrive soon!"

The fight couldn't help, Liu Yu could only hold the horn and continue to do his agitation work, no slogan was more powerful than his relatives, the defenders heard such words, one by one, they rose up bravely, even the accuracy of archery was a few points higher, and saw that another wave of thieves was beaten down.

"This can't be done, second child, next time you have to go up in person, you can't hold on to them if you see them, it's up to you whether you are dead or alive, the city is broken, you can pick and choose, and the girls are up to you. His grandmother's, so many people died, if you don't kill all these officers and soldiers, how can you solve the hatred in your heart! ”

On the mound outside the city, the head of the stall said hatefully, his eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at once that the defenders were just supporting with a breath, although he didn't know what the anger was, but the corpses under the city made him heartache, this is all his capital across the sea, many people have followed him for many years, and he died so much at once, how can this business be considered a loss.

"What about the surname Sun?"

As soon as he thought of compensation, the big stall remembered this initiator, if he hadn't been clever and promised those benefits, why would he have given up the boat to land and run to such a place where birds don't to fight for consumption.

"Followed the fleet."

A cronie reminded him, and he just remembered that the other fleet was pulled to what county, and I heard that it was a place that was worse than here, and he really didn't know what the Pu family was doing.

"Summon, go on, don't give them a respite."

The head of the stall came back to his senses, looked at the city in the distance and said, the second child heard his order, and rushed up with people, the arrows on the city were obviously weakened a lot, and they arrived at the city lightly, and began to climb one after another along the flying rope that was not cut.

This wave of attacks made the defenders feel more pressure, the thieves who came up were extremely fierce, and the battle entered the white-hot from the beginning, and the city was fought for everywhere, and from time to time people on both sides of the enemy fell, and then they were pushed up by the people behind.

"No, waiter, you have to go, I'm afraid."

It was a ten general who spoke, Liu Yu knew that he was Jiang Cai's personal soldier leader, and at this moment he was carrying a broken arrow on his body, and the saber in his hand was full of gaps, and his tone was indescribably anxious.

His task is to ensure Liu Yu's safety, whether he can defend the city or not, he will not care, several of his own soldiers have been killed and wounded, he is afraid that once he falls, the service system will be dangerous, but at this time, how can Liu Yu go.

Without waiting for Liu Yu to answer, a thief who jumped into the city rushed forward, holding a harpoon in his hand, and stabbed straight into the chest of his own soldiers. The pro-soldier returned with a knife, but he didn't expect the thief's strength to be great, and he didn't swing away, seeing that the bright spike hit his chest, he didn't forget to reach out to block Liu Yu behind him.

The second target's goal is actually the official in the back, Liu Yu's scarlet robe is too conspicuous, it is difficult not to be noticed, fortunately, his guards are dead and wounded, only the one in front of him is left, as a result, he can't run away, the harpoon in his hand stabbed without stopping, and he was about to burst out with blood, but unexpectedly, something stretched out, which could block his fork.

"Whew!" He felt his harpoon pierced into a hard object, and he couldn't get an inch into it, so he had no choice but to take it back, and saw that it was wearing a trumpet-shaped thing, which was actually made of iron?

"Let's go!" The soldier who escaped his life did not wait for the thief to react, and pounced with his knife and body, his strength was almost exhausted, and before that, he had to drag the person in front of him so that the attendant could escape.

Liu Yu, who had nothing in his hand, was a little helpless, unwilling to escape, and it was impossible not to escape, and after hesitation, he saw that the only personal soldier had been beaten to his knees, and the knife in his hand did not know where to fly.

Seeing that the civil official did not turn around and fled, the second child also thought about the first result of the pro-soldier in front of him, the fork turned into a hammer, he raised it and slashed towards the opponent who did not get up, the pro-soldier raised his head, and there was some unwillingness in his eyes, if he was intact, how could he be so wolf.

"Jump!" With a sound, Liu Yu found that the thief's harpoon actually hit the ground in front of his soldiers, bringing up a puff of dust, and the man didn't know when an arrow was inserted in his shoulder, and the person was also staggering back.

"Waiter, we're here."

A woman's voice sounded behind her, and on the corridor of the city tower, a group of Yi people appeared, and the first one was naturally Huang Erniang, at this moment, Liu Yu was extremely grateful to her, it was just timely rain.

There are a lot of Yi people in the city, all of them were recruited to build roads, after retreating into the city, Liu Yu underestimated the offensive of the thieves, and did not think of using them, it is rare that Huang Erniang took the initiative so much and brought them here at the most critical time.

These Yi people were not only strong, but also most of them were archers, there was no arable land in the mountains, and hunting naturally became the main source of food, so as soon as they went to the city, they suppressed the arrogance of the thieves with bows and arrows, and the defenders received strong support, and their morale suddenly soared, and they launched counterattacks to drive the thieves in the city down.

"Don't kill him!"

The second child who did not leave leaned on the city wall with his shoulders covered, the harpoon in his hand fell to the ground, several Yi people pointed at him with bows and arrows, Liu Yu walked over and helped the pro-soldier, and said a word at the same time.

He felt that this person should be a leader, and it might be useful to keep it alive, anyway, it was already in his own hands, and if he wanted to kill or chop it, it was a matter of words, and he didn't need to do it now.

"His grandmother's!"

The head of the big stall under the city witnessed the second child attacking the city with people, and thought that he had succeeded, but who knew that suddenly the shape changed, and his own people died and were injured and retreated all of a sudden.

It seems that there is some new force in the city, he feels a little tricky, so far, the casualties paid have already exceeded his expectations, and if the fight continues, how many people will be lost? But that's it, even more unwilling, just about to put down his heart to prepare for another wave, suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the distance, like thunder, endless.

"The whole army changes formations, and they follow a certain assault!"

What he saw in front of him made Jiang Cai secretly glad that the number of thieves was far from the estimate, and there were thousands of frontal enemies, he couldn't imagine that he could still hold on to the present with the little defenders in the city, but fortunately, he chose to break the siege first, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

With his order, more than a thousand cavalry slowly instigated their horses, from the previous marching formation to a wedge-shaped formation with Jiang Cai as the apex, and the thieves in the distance turned from stunned to panicked, until they rushed closer, and failed to organize an effective defensive formation.

Jiang Cai's spear was pointed diagonally forward, his target was only one, that is, the banner guarded by the thieves on the hill, as expected, their leader should also be there, there were too many people, they had to be defeated, and that was the key point. R1058
