Yunzhou Volume Chapter 39 The Battle of Niujiaozhai (3)
The first wave of siege finally reached the wall, but unexpectedly, Shu Fenglei did not dispatch the bear pigs, and the warriors of Fenglei Village only divided into several waves, carrying ladders made of spruce fir to rush over this side. They held up their iron rattan shields, trying in vain to block their bodies with a shield less than three feet in circumference, and the arrows kept passing them, and the shields in their hands did play a role, blocking a few deadly arrows for them, but it was only luck.
Those who were unlucky were shot in the hands, feet, and bodies by stray arrows, some gritted their teeth, still holding their shields, and forced themselves to follow the group, while others were knocked down by the sudden pain, wailing and falling to the ground, trying to touch the wound with their hands, but they did not dare to do so, and by the time they realized it, the rain of arrows had fallen in front of them.
Their siege like this is no different from sending them to death, they didn't even use a battering ram, they just wanted to use a ladder to forcibly climb the wall of Niujiaozhai, but in fact, even if they climbed the wall, they had no chance of winning at all - when they climbed the wall, the warriors of the Qing Shui family would become the best protection on the wall!
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Wu Qingshui continued to roar loudly, the warriors around him continued to shoot arrows, and their arms had already trembled slightly because of too many bows and arrows, but none of them stopped, they didn't know what would happen to the warriors in the Wind and Thunder Village after they stopped, would they take advantage of the vacancy to rush directly to the wall and cut off their heads with a knife?
A samurai beside Wu Qingshui finally couldn't hold it anymore, his hand spasmed slightly, one didn't pay attention, the hand holding the arrow was so loose, the bow and arrow fell straight to the ground, stained with the blood of his companion, he just wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Wu Qingshui kicked him away, "Get out!" Let me! ”
Wu Qingshui pulled the bow in his hand and yelled again, "Bring the arrow!" ”
Immediately behind him, a running samurai stopped, untied the quiver that straddled diagonally behind his back, and handed it to him.
Wu Qingshui took the arrow, directly three arrows in a volley, the shield held high by the warriors of the Wind Thunder Village closest to the wall was useless in front of Wu Qingshui, he had three arrows, one arrow missed, and the other two arrows hit the shields of the two Wind Thunder Village warriors respectively, and the huge force actually penetrated the iron rattan shield, and Yu Wei even almost knocked the two burly warriors to the ground.
Wu Qingshui's movements continued, he stretched out his bow and took an arrow, in order to exert his full strength, every time he made an arrow, there would be an extra corpse of a Fengleizhai warrior on the battlefield, and occasionally the arrow missed, and the arrow would sink two or three inches deep into the soil, you can imagine how terrible the strength of his arms is.
But even so, there is still a wave of wind and thunder village warriors successfully came to the wall, they set up the ladder, holding the iron rattan shield to climb up, the horn of the village warriors on the wall want to push the ladder down, but find that even the top of the ladder, there is still some distance from the wall, unless they lean out, it is impossible to push the ladder down.
The first warrior to climb the ladder was already halfway up, holding his shield to block most attacks from the wall, and his companion behind him held the shield above his head with one hand and firmly held the ladder with the other, so that he could climb up with peace of mind.
Behind them, more Wind Thunder Village warriors were rushing towards this side with cloud ladders.
Cows on the wall
The Jiaozhai warriors gave up their bows and arrows for the time being, and they lifted up 34 catties of stones the size of pumpkins and smashed them at the Fenglei Zhai warrior who was climbing up.
"Click."
With a crisp sound, the samurai's bones broke, but surprisingly, he didn't fall because of this, he gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his arm, and put his head against his arm so that his arm would not hang down because of the break.
He still has to climb up.
Climbing a little more distance would have won him one more chance for his companions behind him, and from the moment he chose to be the siege vanguard, he never thought of returning alive.
Two more warriors took out their spears and stabbed him down with all their might, trying to stab him to the ground, and the spears stabbed wounds on his side, back, and thighs, but he still gritted his teeth and went up, and the companions who followed him did not make a sound, but just climbed up with his shield like him.
Those of them who are pioneers have only two endings, either climb the wall or die.
Another stone fell, and this time, the warrior did not carry it, and his body fell with the stone to the ground where blood and mud were intertwined, and the companion behind him did not even glance at his body, but followed his footsteps, moving upwards little by little.
"Young master!" A samurai from the Shimizu family suddenly rushed to Wu Qingshui's side and said breathlessly, "The northern wall...... The samurai of the Wind and Thunder Village, a large number of ...... A large number of warriors from the Wind and Thunder Village have begun to climb the wall in the north! ”
"North?!" Wu Qingshui was shocked in his heart, "That should be the position in charge of the Yushui family, right?" What's going on with them? ”
"I don't know, are we going to send reinforcements?" The samurai asked tentatively.
"Send someone to inform the black wolf's family, the northern wall needs support," Wu Qingshui said, pulling the bow in his hand, "In addition, we are here, see if there are any extra manpower, if there are any, send some to support over there, if not......"
Wu Qingshui shot an arrow, piercing through a shield and shield warrior who was trotting under the wall, "You can only let them ask for more blessings!" ”
Although the Yushui family is the surname of Yunshen Village, they are one of the few with the least status in the family of the big surname, and the warriors of their Yushui family, Wu Qingshui has always looked down on them, but they didn't expect that they were so wasted that they couldn't even hold the little wall.
On the north wall, more and more ladders were erected, and the warriors of the Wind and Thunder Village did not seem to be afraid, they followed one after another, and none of them flinched, and the warriors of the Yushui family gradually began to be unable to parry.
"Over there! Over there! The commander of the rain family roared, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, constantly observing the surrounding situation, constantly giving orders, but every time he gave an order, a new problem immediately appeared, he turned his head blankly, the sounds around him were so noisy, and the expressions on the faces of everyone who ran past him were so ...... Anxious? His head buzzed, and then he stopped thinking for a moment.
"Why fight?" He suddenly asked in his heart.
"Chief Lin!" A samurai suddenly grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him, pulling him back from nothingness. (Lin Chang is a cloud.)
The state's unique military rank, equivalent to the centurion of the middle state)
The man from the rain family shook his head, saw the face of the samurai in front of him clearly, and then pushed him away, he scanned the surroundings again, secretly remembering the situation around him, and shouted, "Where are the stones? Bring some more rocks! ”
"Chief Lin!" Someone behind him suddenly shouted, "The stone is almost gone!" ”
"Nothing?!" In the face of the iron rattan shield, the best way to deal with it is stones, and other things can't cause substantial damage at all, so you can only watch those warriors from the Wind and Thunder Village climb the wall little by little.
"Quick! Look for it again! Look for! The man yelled hoarsely at the samurai beside him.
The warrior had no choice but to say yes, and then immediately turned around and ran down the wall to find the stones.
The warriors of Wind and Thunder Village finally climbed up.
The first warrior to climb the wall was pierced by several spears the moment he jumped down, but the warrior of the Wind and Thunder Village did not want to die, he stared at the people around him, and swung his sword out with the last of his strength.
Anyway, I can buy them a little time, he finally thought to himself.
More Wind and Thunder Village warriors climbed the wall, they fought with the warriors of the Rain Family in front of them, as more and more people climbed the wall, there were fewer and fewer warriors of the Rain Family who could take care of the ladder, and even if there were, there would be warriors from the Wind Thunder Village who forcibly rushed over and attracted their attention to themselves.
The northern wall of the wall fell into an awkward situation, they fought with the enemies on the wall, but they could not take care of the ladder for the enemy to climb up, so the number of enemies increased, and they became more and more unskilled.
"Young master!" A scout of the Black Wolf family knelt down breathlessly in front of the young man of the Black Wolf family, "The north wall is in an emergency!" The warriors of Wind Thunder Village have climbed up! ”
"How many ladders are there?!" The young man was stunned, "How many people have climbed up?" ”
"I don't know! But the people of the Rain family have no time to take care of the ladder! They are already at the limit just by dealing with the samurai who climb up! ”
"You go to the north wall to support immediately!" The young man turned and yelled in an unquestioning tone, and then said to the warrior, "Go to the middle of the stockade, find the warriors of the Woodbird's family, and ask them to come here at once to help!" Immediately! Right away! ”
"Yes!" The samurai's chest thumped violently, but he immediately stood up, passed the young man, and ran away at full speed.
"Yushui's family......" The young man muttered, he didn't expect that after so many years, the Yushui family still didn't like it, and they shouldn't have been arranged on the walled wall in the first place, I thought it should be no problem to have the Qingshui family in charge, but I didn't expect it to be just a wave of temptation to attack the city, and they became like this.
On the other side of the battlefield, Shu Fenglei looked at the warriors who climbed the wall, and was a little surprised, this time it was only a test to attack the city, he didn't even plan to send the bear pig, he originally planned to try to see which side of the garrison was weaker, and then next time he put more pressure on that side to give the bear and pig a chance to attack the city, but they didn't expect them to go directly to the wall.
"My warrior in the Wind Thunder Village is a god of bravery!" Shu Fenglei suddenly laughed, then turned his head and shouted, "Jiang! It's your turn! ”
