0905 Offense & Defense(1)
At this time, the counterattack of the city head was also in full swing! Niu Mantun heard a scream from the top of the ladder, no need to guess, it must have been the person who climbed the ladder and was smashed down! After all, no matter how wide the ladder is, it has to be climbed one by one!
At this time, with the cloud ladder as the center, a large group of Han army banner soldiers soon gathered. Niu Mantun looked at it and felt that it was not a good thing! Sure enough, a stone fell from above!
Fortunately, there were archers under the city to cover it, and the Ming army at the head of the city did not dare to poke out too much. If they aim at the stones, they will definitely kill a lot of people!
At this time, the soldiers of the Han army banner put their shields on top of their heads, connected to each other, and the shape was like a continuous roof. This roof effectively reduces the damage to the soldiers at the head of the city. At this time, the Bird Gun will kill them the most, but if the Bird Gun wants to shoot them, he must stick his entire upper body out of the wall to aim at them. But if they did so, they would be exposing themselves to the range of the Houjin army's bows and arrows. Therefore, if the Ming army on the head of the city wants to deal with the turtle shell under the city wall, it can only rely on rolling wood and stones.
However, the shields are linked together to support each other, effectively reducing damage. But that doesn't stop the injury. As long as the stones thrown from the city hit the crowd, the arm will be broken and misplaced, and the brain will burst and the intestine will rot!

In particular, the city also threw ashes and fireballs down. The damage of these things to the soldiers of the Han Army Banner is also huge! The ash is filled with finely ground lime in small clay pots. If you drop it, it will crack if you hit the shield or somewhere else, and lime powder will scatter everywhere. Once in the eyes, the consequences are very serious! At this time, the soldiers of the Han Army Banner did not dare to close their eyes! After all, at this time, he is in the middle of a battle, and if he is not careful, he can lose his life, where can he dare to close his eyes?
As for the fireball, the killing power is even greater! Fireballs are made of rattan, bamboo and other things woven into balls, to put it bluntly, rattan balls. They stuffed it with cotton, poured it with oil and lit it, and then threw it under the city to burn the enemy troops.
You must know that most of the current army, including the Houjin army, wear cotton armor, and once they encounter a fireball and are burned by the fireball, it will easily burn. And that fireball was soaked in grease, very
It's hard to extinguish! If you roll down next to the siege machine, after a little time, even the siege machine may burn!
Niu Mantun hid under the ladder and was not injured by the fireballs and ashes. But not for others! A group of people were shrouded in the ashes, covering their eyes and screaming, but they inhaled the ashes again, causing a series of coughs! Their eyes and lungs are finished! However, the fireball was quickly buried by the soldiers of the Han Army Banner with soil, and no damage was caused.
Niu Mantun was not injured and did not dare to be careless, but raised his spirit and kept staring at the movements above and below the city. Just now, seven or eight people have fallen from the ladder one after another! Although some people can get up from the ground, there are two people with two blood holes in their chests, and they are not alive! In addition, several broken bones and tendons were lying on the ground screaming.
The city commanded very well, and just after they had just repelled a group of people, they immediately concentrated their manpower and dropped a large number of stones, which shattered the remaining shield array at once! After all, those shield arrays were only supported by human arms, and could not withstand the throwing of large-scale stones.
Niu Mantun was anxious when he saw it, he knew that the shield array below had been scattered, and it was very likely that there would be no one climbing the city on the ladder. Once the people who climbed the city on the ladder were interrupted, the Ming army above could easily overturn the ladder.
So Niu Mantun loosened the rope, pulled out his knife and shouted, "Give it to me!" Otherwise, they will all be beheaded! Hurry up! ”
Niu Mantun said and picked up the war knife and gestured. Zhang Liang and Song Yonglian beside him also immediately followed his example and drove the other soldiers to climb the ladder.
The orders of officers on the battlefield are holy decrees, and they are even more terrible than holy decrees! Of course, the other Han army banner soldiers knew that military law was ruthless, and since there were armored people who spoke, they naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all carried their weapons and rushed up the ladder with shields on their heads.
Niu Mantun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and roared loudly: "Assemble!" Shielding array! ”
The soldiers of the Han Army's banner, who had just been scattered by the stones, gathered again under the greeting of Niu Mantun, formed a shield array, and began to storm the city.
The Ming army at the head of the city was not to be outdone, they saw that they couldn't push down the ladder for a while, and a few soldiers with poles simply began to hit people! Six people hold poles
Collide with each other, and the soldiers standing on the ladder will definitely not be able to bear it!
Often, he used a shield to protect his body and was not stabbed to death by a pole. You will also be hit by a huge force and fly! It's lucky to be able to roll down the ladder, and it's usually fine. If you're unlucky, your bones and tendons will be light!
Because Niu Mantun organized an attack in time, he did not give the city head a chance to overthrow the ladder. A stalemate was formed between the two sides.
Just when Niu Mantun was thinking that he couldn't get on, suddenly a terrible scream came from the top of his head! The scream was much worse than the people who were knocked into the air!
Before Niu Mantun could see it, a Han army flag soldier fell from the sky and fell not far in front of him! His face was completely rotten, and his flesh was flushed red! The soldier was still scratching at his face, and every time he grabbed it, he would grab a large piece of meat! After a few handfuls, the whole face can no longer be seen as a person!
Niu Mantun looked at the hairs standing up! Directly cut the neck of the wounded soldier with a knife! Then look up and shout: "There's boiling oil on it!" Watch out for that! ”
Niu Mantun looked up, and sure enough, a wooden spoon stretched out from the battlement, and as soon as the wooden spoon was crooked, a stream of steaming boiling oil poured over the soldier on the ladder! The soldier was clever and jumped off the ladder sideways! Although I almost lost my back to the air, I was not doused by the boiling oil!
Faced with the threat of boiling oil, the soldiers of the Han army banner were afraid and did not dare to step forward. Because this defensive weapon is just too vicious! As soon as it is poured, the skin will be scalded almost instantly! And under the treatment conditions at the time, the injury was hopeless. All the wounded could only scream and wait for the wound to become inflamed and rot.
Even you can't even defend against it. Because in battle, you have to show your hands and face, otherwise you can't fight without seeing anything. Therefore, it can only be blocked with a shield in the moment before the boiling oil falls.
Even if you block it, there's a bigger problem. Even if the shield and armor block the boiling oil, you have to be careful of the opponent's fire attack! If the oil on his body was ignited by the flames, with the difficulty of putting on and taking off the armor at that time, this person would definitely not survive!
