XXXIV. Siege

(I decided to make a revolution and start from scratch, even if my hair was gone, I would do two shifts a day in the future.) The SMS card card in the station is recommended, and readers and friends are rewarding. I had 22 yuan in tips last month...... It must be worthy of that respect. )

War is always crueler than imagined.

The officers and soldiers on the earth platform fired a volley, and the swift arrows turned into various black dots in the air, with a piercing whistling, which looked like an alien weapon attack in a science fiction movie in Zhu Wu's eyes.

"Raise your shield!"

The officers in the red scarves at the head of the city shouted loudly, but they lacked systematic training and had not experienced many battle formations, and many brave soldiers were half a beat slower.

Struggle, howling, pain, death. The main theme of the war was played in the city in an instant. On the ground paved with green bricks, pools of blood immediately formed.

Zhu Wu crouched behind the brick wall at the head of the city, which was equivalent to an anti-slope plane, which could effectively dodge the attacks of the official archers. It's strange to say, I don't know if he had the experience of being a soldier in his previous life, and every time he is in a critical moment, he will be more stable.

The first wave of arrows passed, and the city was full of wails, but the officers and soldiers did not follow the second wave.

Zhu Wu's brain was running fast, what were they waiting for? Waiting for the people on the city walls to show their heads, or waiting for the red scarf to fight back? Or is it resting?

These officers and archers, who wore leather robes and iron helmets, used large bows, which tested their physical strength. But this inference was immediately rejected by him, because the officers and soldiers were in the middle of the foot, and a group of men and horses, cowering under their shields, rushed towards the city gate.

Accompanied by the Goryeo dialect of the ghost crying wolf, "Go and beat (kill)!" ”

Come to this set again, Zhu Wu understands. This is the bow and arrow cover suppression, and the foot soldiers charge to attack the city gate. This is best in the absence of large siege equipment, or in the absence of enough numbers.

Let him guess correctly, the brother at the head of the city next to him showed his head for unknown reasons, and immediately attracted a rain of arrows.

"Li Sai!" Zhu Wu turned around and shouted, "Aim at the archers on the earthen platform under the city, and kill them for me!" ”

The bed crossbow was already aimed at the target, just waiting for his order. Li Sai glanced at the two brothers under the protection of their shields, and then waved his hand behind him.

"Bang!"

The short hammer in Guo Xing's hand smashed on the fire of the bed crossbow, and the huge sound of breaking the air made people's eardrums hurt, and then a white light flashed in his vision.

Before he could tell whether it was the shadow of a crossbow arrow or the remnant of his vision, the wooden chest wall of the officers and soldiers on the earthen platform suddenly exploded.

Immediately after that, a mist of blood and limbs soared into the air, and the huge crossbow arrows shot directly through the archers standing on the earthen platform, resounding with heart-rending screams.

In the big tent of the officers and soldiers, the main general stood up without a fancy sigh and said angrily, "Bed crossbow? How could the Southern Barbarians have such a thing? Then he saw that only one crossbow arrow was fired, and there was no nightmarish rain of arrows from the ancestors, and he said angrily, "Damn barbarians, kitchen knives can't be used for them!" ”

There was no time to lament the art of the ancients in killing people in war, and the high-ranking soldiers with shields had already arrived at the city gates.

"Load!" Zhu Wu then yelled, "Waiting!" ”

Although the Red Turban Army lacked training, there were also veterans who had been led in the official army, and there was a large burning iron pot every twenty paces on the city wall, which was full of boiling hot dung water, and the walls were hung with stones and rolling wood.

The attack of the archers under the city stalled slightly, and the counterattack of the Red Turban Army began. Buckets of hot dung were dropped, and countless boulders fell from the sky.

The Goryeo camp, which cowered at the foot of the city gate, suffered heavy losses, and in the blink of an eye, it was slapped to the ground by a boulder and turned into a meatloaf.

Then the barrel of hot manure burst open in the crowd, and immediately there was a howl like killing pigs.

Zhu Wu saw with his own eyes on the city wall that several Goryeo soldiers who were drenched, steaming hot and rolling on the ground in pain.

The mouth screamed in a terrible way, "Ouma! ”

In the main formation of the official army, Cui Minzhe, a thousand households in the Goryeo battalion, was still secretly happy just now, and the brothers approached the city gate, and the tragic scene that followed immediately made him tremble with fear and cold hands and feet.

Before the shrill howl had subsided, the burning logs fell from the city. In a panic, the devastated Goryeo soldiers knocked over the oil used to burn the city gates.

Rumble!

A huge heat wave hit, and the Goryeo soldiers of the city gate tower turned into burning men in an instant, and the soldiers above and below the city seemed to be stunned at this moment.

The flaming soldier ran in vain like a rabbit with its tail set on fire. Luckily, it didn't get affected, so he threw his weapon and ran back.

However, just as they were about to run to their headquarters, a group of Mongolian cavalry roared in, waving scimitars in their hands, and their heads fell to the ground.

"It's raining?"

It seemed that liquid fell on the stunned Cui Minzhe's face, and he subconsciously touched it with his hands, which was sticky and hot. Not rain, it was blood, it was the blood of his compatriots thrown off the scimitars of the cavalry.

"The commander has an order, continue to go up without stopping!" The Mongol knight conveyed the order in stiff Chinese, his cold eyes piercing his heart like a knife.

Quan Xu, a thousand households of the Han army standing beside him, said, "Quickly pick someone to prepare, the patience of the handsome is not very good!" ”

Cui Minzhe wanted to cry without tears, "This is to fill in with life, and many people will die?" ”

"There are no immortals in war!" Quan Xu sneered, "Besides, how many people have you died?" ”

Choi Min-cheol was filled with grief and indignation in his heart, and shouted, "My Korean people's lives are also fate!" ”

"If you keep grinding, you'll die immediately!" Jeon Wook continued to sneer.

The fire man on the ground was still burning, and another group of people were forced by knives to rush to the front of the battle. Someone was cowardly and immediately wiped his neck. The rest of the people can only lean together, silently reciting the gods and Buddhas in their hearts.

Zhu Wu saw it really in the city, "Hurry up and load the dung water!" Li Sai, is the bed crossbow aiming? ”

On the earthen platform that had just been pierced by the bed crossbow, the archers stood again. This time they didn't care about their physical strength, and they shot one arrow after another.

Especially on Zhu Wu's side, the official army discovered the location of the bed crossbow, and several brothers on his side fell in a rain of arrows.

Under the city, just as the Goryeo battalion was about to charge, Cui Minzhe called again.

However, this time he called on the Mongol knights who oversaw him.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Cui Minzhe danced with his hands, "Anyway, they are all sent to death, we should let those people go up, let them waste the strength of the thieves, we Koreans keep it useful, useful!" ”

The Mongolian knight couldn't understand the Chinese language, and looked at Quan Xu suspiciously. The latter spoke a few words in fluent Mongolian, and the Mongolian knight actually smiled gently.

"What do you mean?" Choi Min-chul turned to Jeon Wook for help.

Quan Xu was also laughing, "I told this Mongolian general, in order to show bravery, this time you will personally bring people up!" ”

Cui Minzhe was stunned for a moment, and then thundered, "Xiba ......"

"It's not easy to call your father! Hurry up, you may live, if you don't go, you will die immediately! Quan Xu said lightly.

Choi Min-chul looked back at the Mongolian knight, and saw only a cruel sneer, and a half-drawn scimitar.

He laughed like a madman, "Quan Xu, why did you hurt me without injustice or hatred?" Tell you, they can do this to me and to you, you are just a Mongolian dog like me! ”

"You're wrong, you're the dog!" Quan Xu squinted his eyes, "The Mongols are just foreigners to me. And you, are foreign! ”

Choi Min-chul stood on the spot, and the horn of attack sounded again.

"Attention brothers, the official dog is here again!" A feather arrow flew past Zhu Wu's forehead, but he didn't care about being scared at all.

Guo Xing commanded the guards to erect shields at the head of the city, and the bows and arrows were shot on it, and there was a bang.

"Fuck it!"

Bang, the bed crossbow was fired again, and the arrows continued to be loaded without looking at the results.

Killing the red eye, the brothers of the red scarf faced the rain of arrows, and none of them flinched. In other words, forgetting about life and death.

When the Goryeo battalion rushed to the city gate again, it was the last package again. The horses on both sides of the city gate can attack them without dead ends.

Stench, boulders, flames. The Goryeo soldiers turned around and fled again, but there were still Mongol sabers waiting for them on the other side.

Choi Min-chul's luck was surprisingly good, he howled and rushed under the city gate, and then curled up in the corner of the city wall like a frightened rabbit, holding his head in his hands, howling and crying.

The Mongolian general Cheri came to the front of the battle without spending a long time, and looked at the head of Haozhou for a long time.

After a while, he asked, "All thousands of households, you Han people are attacking the city very strongly, is there any way to quickly capture this city!" ”

"Recruit more foot soldiers, transfer craftsmen over, and build buildings and ladders." Quan Xu said, "Otherwise, you can only fill it with human life!" ”

Cheri Buhua sighed and waved his hand, "That's it for today, collect the troops!" ”

"The officers and soldiers have retreated!"

The city saw clearly, the archers of the official army got off the earthen platform, and the soldiers in front of the battle turned around and returned to the camp.

"Check the casualties of the brothers, and let Erhu and Zhu Jinwei bring people up to change the guard!" Zhu Wu casually grabbed a brother and ordered, but as he spoke, he found that he was holding a soft corpse.

The brother had half an arrow stuck in his neck, and the blood had dried up.

"The third child!"

"This is the fifth brother!"

Zhu Wu repeated what he had just said, "Take the brothers down and have a good rest, go!" ”

Guo Xing received the order, and the surrounding red scarf brothers began to rescue the wounded soldiers and clean up the city. Except for the occasional moaning, the city and the city suddenly became quiet.

Looking up at the sky, in the distance is the last rays of light, and today is about to pass.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from under the city, "I surrender, I surrender!" ”

Looking down, I saw Choi Min-cheol, a thousand households in the Goryeo camp, cloaked and beaten, slapping the heavy city gate of Haozhou.

"I'm not a Mongol, I'm not a northern Han of Dayuan, I'm a Goryeo, a Goryeo! Open the door, I'm going to surrender! ”

However, even if he shouted in his throat, the people on the walls only looked at him with a look of disdain.

"Fifth brother, where is Goryeo?" The brother who changed the guard came up, and Lan Yu was among them, and asked.

"Not in our Huaxia."

"Then what is he doing here?" Lan Yu was puzzled.

Zhu Wu smiled, "Shoot him!" ”

"Okay!" Lan Yu agreed, and bent her bow and arrow.

Cui Minzhe under the city shouted that he had no strength, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw someone aiming at him with a bow and arrow, turned around and ran.

His running action and Lan Yu's archery action were the same. So, the arrow was shot into the earth.

"!"

It's gone again, Lan Yu scolded and scolded, and the two opportunities to show his face today were messed up, but he lost it.

There was no place to spread the fire in his belly, and he kicked on the bed crossbow. Bang, startled him.

Cui Minzhe, who was running, felt that there seemed to be wind behind him, and turned back while running.

Smack, it looks like something has exploded.

His body remained in a running position, but his head was reduced to pieces.
