Chapter 259: All the means are exhausted

A group of knights of the Hedong Army had already rushed to the camp. Someone took off his riding shield for cover. Some people galloped on horseback, restrained the side of the arrow tower, and the arrows rained crossbow arrows. These knights from the east of the river suddenly advanced and retreated, and they flew back and forth.

The arrow tower is restrained by this team of Hedong military horses. Had to split some shè hands against them. The strength of the support camp in front of the gate suddenly decreased. The captives who stormed the city seemed to have found a way out. It's actually faster. The first team of Hedong armor soldiers who galloped into the battlefield and approached the front of the camp also galloped and shè. suppressed and disturbed the defenders at the head of the city.

There were no heavy equipment such as stone cannons on the camp. Someone threw a bow and pulled the bed crossbow. Lin Yan shouted: "Let them come close. Let's see if they can nibble on us. Is the oil fire gold juice ash bottle ready?"

One of the guards replied loudly, "It's ready."

Lin Yan laughed cruelly: "Wait for my order."

It's in between these few words. The captives have crossed the trenches. Suddenly let out a shout. Rush out from behind the platoon. Carrying a long ladder, he rushed straight to the bottom of the fort. Arrows rained down. Dead and wounded. The captive's eyes were already red. Regardless of the shouting, the long ladder and the tools were leaned against the wall. Suddenly, there were the most courageous people who went up the ladder with wooden sticks.

Above the camp. Lin Yan has been holding on to the battlements and staring at the progress of the war in front of the village. At his feet inside the village. A team of about 200 men has been assembled. He is on standby at the gates. Everyone is dressed in armor and riding horses. It is the most jīng sharp one of the control cranes. This selection team is ready to support the situation of the broken gate at any time. Launched a counter-shock. The general who led the selection of the front was also not far from Lin Yan's side. From time to time, he looked at Lin Yan here.

The war outside is not a big scene, though. However, the cruelty was far more than the normal offensive and defensive battles around the fortress. If both sides are armed, equipped, and commanded. How can there be a reason to attack a city once and not get close to a small fort on the outskirts of the city, and kill and wound six or seven hundred people. But where a normal general. It won't be easy to fight for people's lives.

Lin Yan suddenly raised his head violently. Loudly ordered: "Put. Let's see if Li Ke can move his surname Lin with his name."

Dozens of simple long ladders leaned against the battlements of the A-shaped fort. At the foot of each ladder, a dozen captives were crushed to the death. Prevent the defenders from knocking down the rudimentary ladder. The bravest of the captives were the most courageous...... Or has been tortured by Lian rì. Today, the Hedong army drove up the battle with heavy casualties and was numb to the excitement. There were always a hundred and ten people. Climb the ladder. Or bare-handed. Or just a sharpened stick. Uncovered. Desperately crawling towards the wall.

There is not a single arrow coming out of the camp at this moment. Even the human figure can't be seen. All you can see is billowing mist churning on the wall. At this moment. Thousands of captives gathered under the hedgehog wall. No one wants to think about what the defenders above the camp are preparing to deal with them. The top of the wall is not very large. The circumference is no more than 300 steps. A garrison of 100 men fits perfectly with a fortress of this size. Dozens of simple long ladders are on the top. It can be called dense. The long ladder is also densely populated with people climbing upwards. There were more people looking up with red eyes under the fort walls.

Such a scene. Such a crowd. It's almost drowning this fortress. Even the man who had been commanding was silent at the moment. I don't know where I died. There is no breath out. In this case. Rao knew that the defenders did not only have the means of garrisoning with arrows. In the middle of it. I can't help but think. Thousands of people risked their lives. There are hundreds of defenders here. It is human life alone to pile up. I can also tear a hole in the camp.

Moments. Even Lin Yan and others, who had been paying attention to the war, looked at it. I couldn't help but have the same thought for a while. I saw it from the top of the city. And it's not just these thousands of ragged clothes. Almost unarmed captives were scattered around the camp like dense ants. Behind them. There are also light cavalry of the Hedong Army to plunder the two wings. The Hedong people, who grew up with a wave of arrows, used heavy arrows to sweep over people and plunge straight into the camp.

Winged light rider in the middle. It was the Hedong Army's infantry armor again, and it rolled up in formation. and after these thousands of people, they will go straight to the camp. The number of the Hedong Jiashi in this knot step formation is no more than two hundred. Can be imposing. It was far more than the thousands of captives of the people.

Double armor per person. Like a moving steel fortress. Between the marches. It's all the sound of metal colliding. Outer armor cāo large shield covering. The middle armor is full of long knives, iron hammers and other weapons that are convenient for hand-to-hand combat. Every line of dozens of paces, there are generals shouting loudly to keep the array in order. Behind them were hundreds of warriors. Catch up from behind. Get ahead of them and clear the cluttered battlefield ahead of them for a path for heavy infantry warriors to pass through.

These fighters. Or wear a single shirt. In addition, some people have bows and sacks in addition to broadswords, and occasionally they also shoot aimlessly at the camp.

They all carry large ropes with them. After tying the deer fence that stopped the horse. Several people join forces. Three times five divided by two, he shook and pulled out the deer that was inserted into the ground. Compared to those who are weak in their limbs. No captives of tools came. I don't know how much faster. The side shè arrows and crossbow arrows on the arrow tower kept flying. These warriors who fought as auxiliaries kept falling. But these auxiliaries knew more about military law and discipline than they did about the prisoners. The flag does not wave. But the horn of the retreating army does not sound. No one looked back. Just bury your head in the hard work.

If you are dead or wounded, you will drag them away and throw them aside. On the battlefield. The hoarse cries of the captives. The voice of the leader of the Warriors. There are also times when the whole line stops for a few dozen paces. The neat shouts of the heavy armored infantry soldiers of the Hedong Army. Reverberation. Flooded in front of the camp. It's as if by sound alone. can destroy the camp and level it out.

Moments. It's still quiet above the camp. Both sides are about to run out of tricks.
