Chapter 229: Hook and Kick the Wall
The soldiers, who were already in the mood to break the cauldron and sink the boat, saw Zhao Hui taking the lead in rushing to the forefront, and they became more and more desperate.
Even their commander, Lord Governor, is not afraid of death, what do they have to fear.
There were no siege engines, no catapults, and no ladders.
Zhao Hui braved the rain of arrows, rushed to the city, and threw the rope on his body.
At one end of the rope is a hook claw, under which is a three-foot-long iron cable, and under the iron rope is a rope five feet long and as thick as a wrist.
The hook was only clasped to the wall, and several of the defenders slashed with their knives and axes, sending a splash of sparks.
"Break, break it quickly."
However, the knives that were cut on the hook were all curled, and they only left a small white mark on the hook.
Not only Zhao Hui's hook, but also Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and other generals took the lead, threw the hook and rope onto the city wall, and then grabbed the rope with one hand, stepped on the wall, and climbed up.
A few of the defenders, seeing that they were cutting the iron cables, began to use their hands to try to pull the hook apart.
But there was a person hanging under the rope, and the hook was only buckled to the wall, and at most two of them could only work together to pick up the hook and claw, where could they move.
I used my strength to feed, but the hook and claw still didn't move.
The archers on the walls shot down the city, and the defenders carried the stones piled up on the walls and threw them down the hooks.
Zhao Hui's eyes kept staring at the top of the city wall, and when he saw the stones falling head-on, he grabbed the rope with one hand and raised the Mo knife in the other hand to the top of his head.
The falling stones, the size of a human head, were smashed on the Mo knife and became the size of five or six fast fists, falling from both sides of Zhao Hui.
Although the stone is only the size of a human head, it falls with the blessing of gravity, and the force is very strong.
Just using a Zhao Hui who is holding a rope, even if his physical fitness is very strong, he has a lot of strength.
But when the Mo knife collided with the stone, the whole body still sank, and it slipped two feet down, and the two-foot rope was already stained with red blood.
Zhao Hui's palm had been worn out.
Before the new stones fell, Zhao Hui gritted his teeth and jumped up again.
When he saw the defenders on the city wall and raised a stone again, Zhao Hui didn't dare to block it with a Mo knife this time.
Instead, he kicked his feet on the wall and swung his body away, just to avoid the falling stones.
The Mo knife in his hand knocked off the oncoming arrows, and Zhao Hui reattached it to the city wall and climbed up again.
When the defenders lifted the stone again, the Mo knife in Zhao Hui's hand directly stabbed the stone he had not had time to drop, and then slashed at his head.
Without waiting for others to fill the vacancy of this defender, Zhao Hui turned over to the city wall, and the Mo knife turned around his waist, and the enemies within a zhang all fell, and none of the corpses were intact.
Under Zhao Hui's Mo knife, there were no injured people, and those who were touched by the Mo knife either had their heads flying, or their intestines and internal organs were flowing out.
When Zhao Hui climbed the city wall, Zhao Yun also stepped up.
Then Zhou Cang, Guan Hai and others also rushed to the city wall.
They don't have the strength of Zhao Hui to resist falling rocks, but they can also use the advantage of ropes to avoid falling rocks.
Compared to ladders, this hook made it easier for their generals to dodge arrows and falling rocks.
The ladder has the advantage of the ladder, and the hook cable also has the advantage of the hook.
With ladders, it would be easier for ordinary soldiers to climb the city walls.
After all, among ordinary soldiers, few could climb the city wall with a rope with one hand.
And the number of people who can climb the walls at any one time is very limited.
If it weren't for a powerful general like Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun, even if ordinary soldiers were lucky enough to climb up, they would be chopped into meat by the defenders on the city wall as soon as possible.
And Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun are like tigers out of the cage.
When they stepped on the city wall, these defenders could not stop them at all.
As generals such as Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun rushed up the city wall and gained a foothold, more and more soldiers under the city climbed up through ropes and joined the battle.
"Follow me." Zhao Hui saw that dozens of people had gathered around him, and took them towards the city wall, and those archers killed them.
For the besieging side, these archers are very threatening.
Zhao Hui's soldiers and horses under the city are densely packed, and these archers, even if they shoot with their eyes closed, they can easily shoot people, and they don't need to aim at all.
Pull an arrow from the quiver, place it on the bow, pull the bowstring, and then release your finger without looking at where the arrow went, just pull a new arrow from the quiver.
A laborious bow to open a full moon? No, you don't.
The bows and arrows used by these ordinary archers are not three-stone or five-stone strong bows. Shooting dozens of arrows in a row is no problem at all.
These archers, when they saw Zhao Hui coming over, immediately retreated. Then there were defenders with spears, blocking in front of Zhao Hui.
Gongsun Du would not let Zhao Hui kill this archer easily.
But in the face of Zhao Hui and Zhao Yun's bravery, Gongsun Du did not have a general in his hands who could stop the two.
Gongsun Du's own strength is also good, but it can really only be regarded as a second-rate level, and it is not as good as Gongsun Zhan.
When he saw Zhao Hui taking the lead and climbing onto the city wall, Gongsun Du's heart was cold.
He didn't want to give up yet, but he also knew that if he wanted to win now, he could only hope for a miracle.
More and more defenders were transferred by Gongsun Du to block Zhao Hui.
But it's useless at all, Zhao Hui is not alone.
He faced more and more enemies, but also more and more comrades around him.
Constantly hand soldiers, climb up from hooks hanging on the walls.
No matter how hard Gongsun Du tried to command the soldiers, the defenders on the city wall gradually showed a tendency to rout.
Gongsun Du only hoped for a miracle, and he sent people, and with good luck, they were able to stab Zhao Hui to death with one shot.
Now only if Zhao Hui is dead, it will be possible for him to hold Liaodong.
Zhao Hui took the lead, which greatly improved his morale, but also gave Gongsun Du a chance.
At this moment, on the city wall, the soldiers belonging to Zhao Hui have already surpassed the original defenders in terms of numbers.
Gongsun Du failed to save the archers, and Zhao Hui finally led a group of people to kill in front of the archers.
On the city wall, the soldiers belonging to Gongsun Du were pressed down by Zhao Hui.
Not only in terms of quantity, Zhao Hui occupies an absolute advantage.
These defenders, who didn't sleep well last night, barely lifted their spirits and fought with knives and guns.
But now, although they will not fall asleep on the battlefield, their bodies are weak and tired, so that they are about to lose their grip on the weapons in their hands.
If, now they have the advantage, they may still be able to grit their teeth and hold on.
But when they completely fell into disadvantage, they already thought that there was no chance of victory, and they thought that they would lose.
When the thought of defeat arises in their hearts, don't say that their bodies are already tired and weak, even if they slept well last night, the strength of their bodies will be hollowed out now.
