Chapter 459: That City, That Battle, That Warrior, That Parting
On the wall of Jizhou City, Zeng Ling, who was directing the soldiers to prepare for the battle, heard someone shouting behind him, he looked back and saw a panting captain running over.
"Your Excellency!"
The sweaty captain shouted: "The enemy is attacking, the team of the Yanshan battalion is storming the northern city, quickly, almost can't resist it, please go over immediately." ”
Zeng Ling said angrily: "What about the general in Beicheng? Lu Guangyuan! ”
The lieutenant replied, "General Lu is in Beicheng, but the enemy is huge, we have suffered heavy casualties, and we need reinforcements. ”
"Liuge!"
Zeng Ling looked around and shouted loudly.
"Where is Liuge?!"
No one saw Liu Ge, Zeng Ling asked people to look for it, and after looking for a long time, they didn't know where Liu Ge went, let alone Liu Ge, and even the more than 3,000 soldiers under Liu Ge didn't know where to go.
Someone inquired that Liu Ge had been patrolling the city with a whole battalion of soldiers and horses every day, and sometimes he did not return all night, and everyone was used to it.
Zeng Ling sent people to look around in the city again, but the people sent ran around the street, not to mention Liu Ge, and even Liu Ge's subordinates didn't see a single one.
At this time, the offensive of the Yanshan battalion had reached the most critical time, Zeng Ling noticed that Liu Li's Yuzhou army was not attacking fiercely on the southern front, and the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, so he hurried to Beicheng.
When he arrived, he didn't care about being angry that he couldn't find Liuge.
Outside the city, hundreds of huge and simple siege tower vehicles were about to squeeze to the edge of the city wall, and the ground outside the city was full of the corpses of the soldiers of the Yanshan battalion, even if they were protected by a shield array, they still suffered countless casualties.
But with this kind of consumption, they pushed the building car closer.
The archers on the building car and the soldiers of the Jizhou Army on the city wall shot at each other, and at such a close distance, the number of dead archers on both sides was already incalculable.
The soldiers of the Green Eyebrow Army on the building car died one by one, and the dead came up one by one, and the casualties of the Jizhou Army soldiers under their suppression were relatively few, after all, there were battlements to block them.
When the building car almost reached the city wall, the soldiers of the Yanshan battalion could go out and set up the ladder on the city wall, and the soldiers stepped on the ladder and rushed forward.
The most terrifying thing is not the people in the building car, but the ramp that has been pushed up for five days.
Probably a third of the bottom of the ramp is full of corpses.
Before the dead could be pulled back, a layer of sandbags was covered, and then the dead were covered with sandbags.
Chang Dingzhou, one of the leaders of the Jizhou army, saw that the ramp had almost reached the height, and he turned around and shouted: "My people, kill with me to win the first merit in this battle, the big boss said that the person who attacked the city wall first will be rewarded for everyone!" ”
After he finished shouting, he rushed forward first, holding a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, and behind him, countless soldiers of the Yanshan battalion rushed forward with shields.
Seeing this scene, Zeng Ling's eyes turned red.
"Shoot the arrows! Give me arrows! ”
Zeng Ling kept shouting.
If the archers of the Jizhou army want to release arrows at the people on the ramp, they have to come out from behind the battlements, and the oblique holes in the battlements are only so big that they can allow up to two people to release arrows out, how can such a degree of defense stop the Green Eyebrow Army.
Therefore, they could only come out from behind the battlements, and they had to face the suppression of the Green Eyebrow archers on the building cart.
There are dead people everywhere, and at this moment, the true face of war is clearly visible.
"Go up!"
Chang Dingzhou roared, like a male lion rushing towards its prey.
He led the men up the ramp, but the ramp did not reach the height of the edge of the wall, and was about a man's height.
After going up, the shield in front of Chang Dingzhou was quickly filled with white feathers, and the weight of the shield became much heavier.
The arrows continued to cover them, so much so that barely a single arrow was stuck in the shield
Vacancy.
After approaching the city wall, they couldn't jump up smoothly, and the height of one person was more, and the soldiers of the Jizhou army were condescendingly there, how could they be allowed to go up easily.
"Come up with me, raise your shield, and put up the ramp!"
Chang Dingzhou fiercely rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the man stood under the city and raised his shield.
The soldiers of the Jizhou Army, who stabbed down with hooks and spears, were like crazy, and roared, as if this would scare the enemy away.
The stabbed man rolled down, and the corpse raised the ramp little by little.
Chang Dingzhou's personal soldiers followed him to the place against the wall, followed Chang Dingzhou's example, stood up straight and raised his shield.
The people behind began to half-squat, squatting, carrying the shield with their shoulders, and forcibly using people to cushion the height of the last stretch of the road.
"Rush up!"
Chang Dingzhou, who was under the shield, shouted loudly: "Don't worry about us, rush up for Lao Tzu!" ”
The soldiers of the Green Eyebrow Army who came up later stepped on their shields and rushed up, and the people under the shields gritted their teeth and carried them.
Someone finally stormed the walls, but was quickly hacked to death with a knife.
The first person to go up was a hero, but he was destined not to even be known.
But with the first one, there is the second, and it is impossible for the people on the ramp to rush up even if they don't want to.
The people behind pushed them forward, and it was like a pillar hitting a mountain.
As long as the follow-up force is large enough, the end of the pillar that hits it will continue to shatter, not the mountain moving, but the pillar constantly shattering.
The broken part is the corpse of the Green Eyebrow soldier who keeps rolling down.
As long as the dead don't go as fast as they go forward, there will still be more people rushing to the walls.
"Heap the wall, block it here!"
Zeng Ling pointed to the location of the ramp and roared.
Many soldiers of the Jizhou Army began to carry sandbags over and began to pile them on both sides of the city wall at that location on the ramp.
As a result, the Green Brow soldiers who stormed the wall were trapped between two sandbag walls, and they had to climb over them in order to continue to expand their occupation on the wall.
It seems that it is just one more jumping action, but the casualties caused are really outrageous.
"Don't stop, build a few more walls!"
Zeng Ling's throat had already burst out, and he seemed to feel pain when he heard the sound.
On this side of the sandbag wall, the soldiers of the Green Eyebrow Army who climbed the city wall wanted to climb over, and on the other side of the sandbag wall, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army counterattacked with bows and arrows and spears.
Who would have thought that it would not be long before the open space between the two sandbag walls would be piled up with corpses to the same height as the sandbag walls.
The soldiers of the Green Brow Army attacked one by one, and every time they crossed a sandbag wall, countless people were killed in battle.
But the excitement brought by this imminent victory made the follow-up people go crazy.
The length of the walls of the northern city was getting bigger and bigger under the control of the Green Eyebrow Army, and at this moment, the soldiers on the building carts also began to rush up on the ladder.
It's like a sturdy that looks like it can be held back no matter how strong the wind and waves are, and it doesn't seem like there will be any problems.
However, when the levee only cracked a small opening, it was quickly collapsed by the flood.
"Up!"
"Our people are up!"
Bursts of cheers erupted in the ranks of the Green Eyebrow Army under the city.
Standing behind the army, Yu Chaozong held clairvoyance to watch the battle, and when he saw that his people had been killed on the city wall, a place as big as dozens of zhang long, a kind of light was released in his eyes.
"Standing for the year!"
Yu Chaozong pointed to the side of the city wall: "Go and support your brother." ”
Chang Dingsui, one of the leaders of the Green Eyebrow Army, had already been unable to hold back, and he was worried that something would happen to his eldest brother, so he brought his headquarters to support him.
When the area of the city gate was controlled by the Green Eyebrow Army, outside the city, the Green Eyebrow Army also came up with a huge battering ram.
The thick slamming wood slammed against the city gate, and with a loud bang, even the city walls seemed to shake a little, but the city gate barely moved.
The Jizhou army has already blocked the hole in the city gate, and the battering ram will not be able to enter even if the door panel is broken.
But they didn't stop, because after smashing the gates, they were able to clear the blockages.
About half an hour later, Chang Dingsui squeezed onto the city wall, and he looked around eagerly.
"Big brother!"
Chang Dingsui shouted: "Big brother, where are you!" ”
No one responded to him.
Chang Dingsui pulled over a soldier of the Green Eyebrow Army and asked, "Have you seen my eldest brother?" ”
The man shook his head: "I don't see it." ”
Chang Dingsui noticed a wounded soldier not far away, sitting there leaning against the city wall and wailing, he squeezed over, grabbed the man's chest clothes and asked, "Have you seen my eldest brother?" ”
This person is Chang Dingzhou's personal soldier, and he knows Chang Dingzhou at a certain age.
The man was stabbed in the shoulder, bleeding profusely, and his face was twisted in pain as he grabbed his clothes by Chang Dingsui.
"The ...... of the house The head of the house should still have a shield underneath. ”
Hearing this, Chang Dingsui's face immediately turned extremely pale, and he separated the crowd and squeezed back like crazy.
In the eyes of the soldiers who rushed forward, they saw a man with a hideous face coming backwards.
In Chang Dingsui's eyes, he saw countless people with hideous faces rushing forward, and every face was hideous.
I don't know how long it took, but the exhausted Chang Dingsui still couldn't rush back after all, and the people coming up the ramp were so dense that it seemed that they were all connected, how could he rush down.
Lacking strength, he was pushed and pushed to the side of the city gate, and then pushed and pushed down the ramp down the city into the city.
After getting out of the ramp, I felt no longer crowded, at least not the pain of squeezing my shoulder.
Chang Dingsui raised his head and looked at the city wall, all the soldiers of the Green Eyebrow Army rushed down, those people, roaring excitedly, everyone seemed to have a fierce thing in their bodies to tear the human skin and rush out.
Chang Dingsui found a place to sit there against the wall, he was not in the mood to rush forward, just sat there blankly and painfully.
He didn't find his eldest brother, but he probably already knew what would happen to his eldest brother.
As time passed, there were far fewer Green Eyebrow soldiers rushing down from the city walls.
There were new cheers from the side, and the frontal attacking Green Eyebrow Army finally dug through the city gate, and a large number of soldiers poured in from outside.
Chang Dingsui slowly got up with the city wall, looked up, on the ramp, the big boss Yu Chaozong came down with an excited face, and many people surrounded him.
"Well done! I will reward you and your brothers severely! ”
Yu Chaozong patted Chang Dingsui on the shoulder when he passed by, and then he was surrounded by people and entered the city.
Chang Dingsui walked back to the city wall, back to the city wall, and returned to the position of the ramp.
He jumped down from the city wall and turned over the corpses on the ramp one by one, pushing them down and pushing them down again.
The walls were breached in the early afternoon.
At this time, the sunset was shining, and the yellow light fell on Chang Dingsui.
In the distance, someone saw him flip open a broken shield, and the blood pulled out the sticky thread, and then Chang Dingsui shook for a moment, knelt there, and stiffened.
"Ahh
He roared, one after another.
