Qu Tushou replied and turned around to leave.

Qu Tutong suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him: "By the way, Princess Xiuning, don't get hurt!" As long as she is found and brought back intact, the same bounty will be a thousand taels, and the official will be promoted! ”

He hurriedly added. Otherwise, if a soldier kills or defiles Li Xiuning as Yuming's concubine. After Li Yuan found out, he had to kill himself.

Qu Tushou naturally knew the joints, and nodded again and again. Then he rode to inform his brother.

It is said that there will be brave men under heavy rewards. After receiving Qu Tutong's order, Qu Tuquan immediately transferred his father to him, and the five thousand elite pro-soldiers who were originally in reserve were all pulled up.

These pro-soldiers all held a fine iron shield in one hand and a black steel sword in the other, and they were the strongest in the Tang Army in terms of equipment and martial arts.

After they ran within the range of the Zhou archers, they all put their shields on their heads and formed a phalanx, like a big turtle hiding behind an iron plate, and slowly moved towards the city wall!

At this time, the first round of projectiles from the Zhou archers also happened to be launched. A dense rain of arrows fell on the wide shield phalanx, and the feathered arrows shot at those dense steel shields, but they could only make a weak "ding-dong-dong" crashing sound.

Among the pro-troops, only a few unlucky people walking on the edge of the line were accidentally shot by arrows in the calves or knees and other parts exposed outside the shield. Of course, there are also some places where the shields are not arranged closely enough. It was drilled into the gap by the wolf's tooth arrows, causing sporadic damage, but other than that, the dense rain of arrows had nothing to do with the "iron shield phalanx" that had approached the Luoyang city wall.

Red Sleeves also saw the strength of the Tang Army's phalanx, and she immediately ordered the longbowmen to stop throwing and take a rest, after all, they had shot so many rounds of volleys in a row, and their arms were sore.

This time. The iron shield array of the Tang army had already rushed under the city walls.

A neat shout sounded, and the soldiers of the Tang Army removed their shields one after another, and the iron-shelled phalanx, which was originally like a turtle shell, suddenly disappeared. And this time. The soldiers of the Zhou army on the city wall were surprised to find out. It turned out to be under the protection of this "turtle shell". There were also several groups of soldiers carrying long ladders hidden in them.

"Attention, everyone, follow my orders and shoot again!" At this time, Redsleeves could only drink and order the archers on the inner side of the city wall to shoot in another way.

"Swap for a short bow and a beaded crossbow on the ramparts! Free Fire! Redsleeves thought for a moment before ordering.

At this time, the lyric dream on the city wall also said coquettishly: "Smash the enemy down!" ”

She took the lead in lifting a boulder and slammed it down on a Tang army that was about to rush to the city wall.

The squad leader let out a wail and fell to the ground from mid-air. Hearing only a "click", he immediately broke his tendon and fractured, and before he could even scream, he was thrown to death.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Zhou army also lifted the stones that had been stored long ago and smashed them down towards the Tang soldiers who were climbing along the ladder by the city wall......

Despite the desperate counterattack of the soldiers on the ramparts, the ladders were erected one by one. The pro-army personally trained by Qu Tutong is worthy of being one of the most elite units of the Tang Army. They are not only strong, but also very brave. When they removed their shields and began to climb the ladder, some of them were hit in the head by stones, and some were shot by sharp arrows, but as long as they did not fall down and died, they would still fiercely use their shoulders to resist the ladder to prevent it from being hooked down by the Zhou soldiers with cymbals.

Soon, on the walls of Luoyang. More than a dozen ladders have been erected at a rapid pace. The soldiers of the Tang Army, under the leadership of Qu Tuquan, climbed up the ladder with red eyes one by one......

"Quick! Hook the enemy's ladder with a hook! Be sure to knock them off the walls! Can't let them rush up! ”

Red Sleeves danced with two knives and ran back and forth on the city wall to save the emergency. While issuing orders non-stop.

One order after another was quickly conveyed, and the Zhou soldiers hooked the opponent's ladder with cymbal hooks, trying to hook the enemy's ladder down.

Occasionally, by the city wall, you can see that there are several Tang soldiers on a cloud ladder who are struggling to climb, but in an instant they are hooked down by the cymbal hook that stretches diagonally, so the Tang soldiers above fall from mid-air with a miserable scream, and fall under the city wall into a mess of flesh.

And at this time, basin after basin, the boiling water that was boiling hot was also poured down. Those Tang soldiers who were desperately climbing the ladder were instantly poured on their heads and bodies by boiling water, and suddenly let out a scream like killing pigs, and then rolled down from the ladder with a stream of water vapor. When they fall, they will even knock their companions behind them together.

However, all these tragic circumstances did not seem to shake the determination of Qu Tutong and his Tang army to attack.

A ladder fell, and dozens of soldiers would soon struggle to lift it again, ignoring the arrows and stones of the Zhou army, and then set it up to the edge of the city wall.

A Tang soldier on the ladder was shot down by the Zhou army, and immediately more soldiers would still climb up again, regardless of life or death.

Under the attack of the soldiers of the Tang Army, regardless of heavy casualties. Finally, soldiers managed to climb the walls. What awaited them was the countless spears and broadswords that had already been prepared on the city walls.

They had just jumped up the city walls. Immediately he was pierced through several bloody holes by spears and broadswords stabbed from several directions, and then kicked off the wall.

However, there are also strong and physical Tang soldiers who still do not lose their ability to move after being stabbed. They would roll down the wall with the enemy they were close to, or they would pounce on the Zhou soldiers, trying to knock the defenders out of the way even a little distance, so that their comrades behind them could take a little pressure off when they climbed up.

Qu Tutong's pro-army deserved to be the strongest force in the besieging Tang army. Their soldiers are basically practitioners, and their martial arts are quite good. Although the soldiers of the Zhou army defending the city were also selected elite soldiers, most of them had not systematically practiced martial arts, and could only use some superficial military moves. Therefore, in the battle on the city wall, the situation gradually tilted to the side of the Tang army, and the soldiers of the Zhou army gradually became a little unable to resist.

Moreover, as the Tang army began to gain a foothold on the city walls, more and more soldiers rushed up. Every time one more soldier of the Tang Army rushed up, the pressure on the Zhou Army would become greater and greater.

This is because the vanguard of the Tang Army's offensive this time is their most elite pro-army. In terms of the combat effectiveness of a single soldier, it takes a Zhou soldier to resist a pro-army soldier of the Tang Army. And if they meet the captain and team leader in the Tang Army's pro-army, then the gap in martial arts between the two sides will be even greater.

Red Sleeves was covered in blood at this time, and she didn't know if it was her own or the enemy's, her pair of knives had already been dyed red, but she was still fighting and fighting with the enemy with all her might......

Shumeng, Dongli, Yu Yuqing, Li Xiuning and other women are also fighting side by side with Shumeng, and they all have a belief in their hearts: they must insist on waiting until their husband Yuming appears.

The soldiers of the Tang Army who rushed to the city wall saw this stunning beauty who was dressed in red skirt armor and had a beautiful appearance, but she was holding a pair of double knives, leading the Zhou army to fight desperately, and she kept commanding. have already guessed that she is Yuming's imperial concubine Red Sleeves. Her signature red clothes had long been publicized by Qu Tutong to the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and she was also included in the blacklist of key arrests and captures.

Therefore, the enemy troops gathered around her were also the largest. It didn't take long for Redsleeves to be in danger. Her snow-white arms and slender thighs were struck by several sword wounds.

A lieutenant of the Tang Army's pro-army saw the bargain and said with a cruel smile: "The red sleeves are mine, don't fight with me!" ”

After that, he showed a fierce light on his face, and stabbed straight at the **** with red sleeves......

Red Sleeves flickered to the right, and the spear grazed her waist, cutting a long bloody streak through her willow waist.

The lieutenant didn't have time to be happy, but suddenly he felt the wind hit behind his head.

He knew something was wrong, and when he tried to dodge, it was too late.

The Tang military captain saw a flash of blue light in front of him, and two cyan darts passed through his eyes, with two blood arrows piercing the back of his head......

He didn't hum and fell, and he didn't get the credit, but gave his own life.

"Sister Red Sleeves, you retreat!" It was Shumeng who sent out the darts just now and saved the red sleeves, and she had already fought hard to break a blood and came to her side.

When the soldiers of the Tang Army saw that it was the queen of the Zhou Dynasty, they were even more overjoyed, and they thought that the red sleeves were just the imperial concubine, and the dream was the queen! If you can catch her, it will be a great achievement!

So, they immediately rushed over with a howl, and the spears in their hands went straight to Shumeng and Red Sleeves.

At this time, Shu Meng slashed with the long sword in his hand, splitting several spears that stabbed at him and Red Sleeves.

She looked at the situation around her, and couldn't help but say to herself: "If the husband doesn't come again, it is estimated that the city wall will not be able to hold it......"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said worriedly: "Sister Red Sleeves, I'll cover you to withdraw first!" Now you're seriously injured! If you don't get busy with treatment, I'm afraid your life will not be guaranteed! ”

"Wait...... I'm afraid that after I leave, the walls will fall faster! Red Sleeves said at this time lying in Shumeng's arms, holding a big knife in one hand and covering the wound on his waist with the other.

Although the other sisters are still fighting on the city wall, she knows that although they all have good kung fu, when it comes to commanding battles, only she can stand alone, even Yu Yuqing is only a brave general and not a commander. If you really go down to heal yourself now, I am afraid that the city wall will be lost in an hour.

Under the city wall, the Tang army had already organized two more phalanxes, and the black-pressed crowd held their shields high one by one, braving the rain of arrows that kept flying in the air, step by step. Continue to slowly approach the walls of Luoyang......
