Chapter 904: The Wind Rises (3)
A spear poked down viciously, Qin Scar's left hand shield went up, choked, the spearhead poked on the shield, slid to the side, and reached out to the right hand, but caught the spearhead and the long pole to hand over, and with a roar, he dragged down the Liang Jun who had no time to let go, the person was still in the air, and the round shield in Qin Scar's hand smashed it viciously, and the edge of the sharp shield cut off the person's head with a bang, and blood splashed out, pouring the person below.
But in the short moment when Qin Scar killed such a person, several feather arrows had already been inserted into his armor. Climbing over the wall with him, there were hundreds of Tang Jun who fell into this trap, but not all of them had such good skills and armor as Qin Scar. They were so overwhelmed by the feathered arrows above the city that they could not get up at all, and the spears above pierced down one after another, and from time to time someone let out a scream.
Qin Scar's eyes were red, he ran in the trench with his shield on his head, and he had already seen many of his brothers lying on the ground. There was a whistling sound above his head, and he raised the iron shield in his hand to protect his head and face tightly, and with two thumps, his arm shook violently, and the tearing pain instantly spread throughout his body.
It was the enemy from above who was throwing stones at them.
For a while, they were suppressed at the bottom of the ditch, and they were powerless to fight back.
Ge Cai rushed up with a second wave of men, braving the rain of bows and arrows and stone bullets.
"The shield men step forward, and the crossbowmen suppress the wall!" Ge Cai shouted. As soon as Qin Scar turned over, there was no shadow, even inexperienced people knew that things were not good, let alone a battle-hardened player like her.
Qin Scar's subordinates, who had no idea, were in a mess, and several captains were arguing, but Ge Cai's arrival made them no longer have to make up their minds. In some of the battled battlefields, calm was restored in a very short period of time.
Rows of shieldmen pushed to the front, and behind them, the crossbowmen sat on the ground, spread their arms and crossbows, and there was a loud buzzing sound, and rows of crossbow arrows were shot at the head of the city, shooting the Liang troops who were leaning out half of their bodies and shooting arrows downwards.
The return fire on the city was extremely fierce, strong crossbows, stone bullets, feather arrows, concentrated fire on the shield wall, from time to time a shield hand fell, but when one fell, another rushed forward, picked up the shield, and raised it again.
Ge Cai rushed to the chest wall, Qin Scar was half a head taller than her, and he couldn't see the situation inside, let alone her?
"Get down!" She turned and yelled at one of the soldiers beside her.
The soldier glanced at Ge Cai's figure, his face showed embarrassment, and before he could say anything, Ge Cai had already knocked a scabbard into the crook of his leg, and then kicked in the crook of a soldier's leg on the other side, the two soldiers groaned, and they were already half-kneeling on the ground, and one foot was stepped on the soldier's shoulder, Ge Cai shouted: "Help me go up." ”
The two soldiers let out a roar, grabbed Ge Cai's legs, and lifted her up.
As soon as he came up, several feather arrows shot from the opposite side, Ge Cai shrank his head violently, and the feather arrows swished over his head, and the legs of the two soldiers below trembled, and they almost fell soft, saying that Ge Cai was indeed too fat.
Of course, in front of General Ge, you can't say you're fat, you have to say you're strong.
Although he only glanced at it, Ge Cai had already understood the situation inside, and he couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart. I don't know if Qin Scar is going to return to the west today.
"Qin Scar, hold on, the old lady is here to save you!" Ge Cai opened his throat and roared.
"Hurry up, otherwise Lao Tzu will return to the west today." Behind and below the wall, Qin Scar's voice sounded, and it sounded as if he was injured.
Ge Cai's heart sank slightly, she knew that Qin Scar was a tough guy, not really helpless, and she would never be so discouraged.
"Pyropers!" Ge Cai yelled.
A group of soldiers with red helmets on their heads quickly rushed under the cover of a group of shield men. Ge Cai made a slight arrangement, and one by one the soldiers squatted down and carried these red helmets on their shoulders and set them up, and these people held small ceramic jars in their hands. Bending down to let the man below light the lead in front of the small jar, silently counted a few numbers, and then let out a shout, and threw the porcelain jar in his hand towards the city wall.
In a short time, the rumbling explosion sound was endless, and these porcelain jars fell under the opposite city wall, and exploded violently, and sparks flew out, contaminating Liang Jun's body, and immediately ignited the other party. Some of the porcelain pots smashed on the base of the wall, and even the city wall began to burn.
"Rope!" Ge Cai ordered again.
One by one, the ropes were thrown over the low wall and hung down into the trench inside.
"The crossbowmen suppress and cover the brothers to come out." Ge Cai leaned against the base of the wall and roared loudly.
One by one, the Tang Army crossbowmen were carried out from the wall and exposed, and the crossbow arrows in their hands roared to the opposite side, and when they shot one, they threw down the crossbow in their hands.
From time to time, someone leaned down and fell from the man who was holding him below, or leaned forward and fell against the wall, and there was no more sound, but at this time, the people below always withdrew in silence and pulled back, laying the body of their dead comrade on the ground, and then another person stepped on his shoulder again without fear.
Behind, Ren Xiaonian's clenched fists were trembling slightly.
His men were suffering casualties. But they didn't even cross the first hurdle.
The blow above the city head was clearly carefully calculated and covered the area as a whole.
The fatal blow suffered by the Tang army in the trench finally weakened at the moment when the fierce fire oil bomb exploded, which gave them a chance to breathe.
The ropes thrown above their heads brought them hope for life.
"Go up the rope." Qin Scar roared.
Seeing that there were living soldiers tying the bodies of their dead brothers to the ropes, Qin Scar said: "Put it down, take care of the living first, the living ones go first, and the lost brothers stay here first, and we will come back to collect their corpses again." ”
There were hundreds of Tang troops, and at this time there were less than a hundred. Hearing Qin Scar's words, they abandoned the corpses of their comrades, grabbed the ropes, and climbed upward.
But at this time, it is also the time when their defense is the weakest.
Feather arrows roared, and from time to time they shot down the Tang army that was climbing.
Qin Scarzi tied a guy who had been hit by several arrows at his feet to the rope, stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, signaled the person behind him to pull the rope, and watched the rope slowly rise with the wounded soldier, he stuffed the shield in his hand into the wounded soldier's hand, "Protect the vital point." ”
Jumping back and forth in the trench, seeing that there was no longer a living person, Qin Scar howled, ran a few steps, grabbed a rope, and climbed up quickly with his hands alternately.
There was a clanging sound from time to time on his body, it was the sound of feather arrows shooting on the armor, as long as it wasn't coming towards his head, Qin Scar ignored it.
His hands finally climbed the wall, and with a single force, he flipped over. Porphyry fell to the ground with a thud, but like a hedgehog.
"No one?" Ge Cai leaned over to him and asked. Based on his understanding of Qin Scar, if there were still living people below, he would never come out.
"They're all dead!" Qin Scar lowered his head in pain: "Ge Cai, retreat, if we don't fill this trench, we won't be able to get close to the city wall at all." ”
Ge Cai nodded, she just glanced at it, and knew that the first priority next was to level this trench.
"Retreat! The shield bearers hold hands, the crossbowmen cover, and the others retreat first! Ge Knee roared, reached out and picked up a crossbow from the ground, aimed it at a Liang soldier above the city, and pulled the trigger fiercely.
The living Don Army dragged up the remains of his brothers who died in battle and slowly retreated to the rear.
On the city wall, Liu Xinda, who saw this scene, twitched slightly from the corner of his eyes.
Tang Jun seems to have suffered a lot of losses, but he did not take any advantage.
Qin Scar was carried back, although Ren Xiaonian's face was pale, he still checked Qin Scar's injury first, "It's not a big deal, if you raise it for ten days and half a month, you will be a man who is alive and well." ”
Qin Scar was crying.
"General Ren, it's my fault, I'm too aggressive, hundreds of brothers, it's gone."
Ren Xiaonian shook his head: "Liu Xinda, this old dog, I will skin him, you go down and rest." Liu Yuan. ”
"In!"
"In the next round, you will destroy this section of the wall and fill in the trench for me." Ren Xiaonian said. "Zhou Zhen is in charge of covering."
"Yes!" The two said in unison.
Half an hour later, the sound of war drums rose again, and the Tang army set out again, this time in the charging ranks, mixed with a large number of crashing woods.
The breastwork collapsed one by one, and the arrangement behind the breastwork was finally completely presented in front of Tang Jun. In the endless exchange of long-range weapons between the two sides, the Tang army carried bags of mud, sand and stones, filling the trench section by piece.
This is a work of water grinding, and the losses on both sides are not big, but the time is consumed bit by bit. By the time all the ditches outside the city had been almost filled in, the sun had disappeared from the distant hilltops. With the sound of gongs and drums, the Tang army began to retreat.
Although it was only a temptation, it could be seen that Liang Jun's determination to resist was still very resolute. And the preparation is extremely thorough. Liu Ruyan said with a frown. This is a tough battle, so don't take any chances and win quickly. Take one step at a time and meet your opponents! ”
Yang Mi nodded and said, "Wait until Li Dang takes Yingcheng and completely cut off the connection between Ezhou and the direction of the Zhongwu Army, or it will be a serious blow to their morale." ”
"General, tomorrow, please allow us to attack again!" Ren Xiaonian said in a deep voice with red eyes.
