Chapter 31: The Battle for Huayin

In just a short period of time, the battle for the west city gate has entered the white-hot stage, the weather was extremely hot this afternoon, but at this time, it seems that both sides have forgotten.

It's nothing for Li Xin, after all, they've been training in this kind of weather every day recently, and they're used to it. As for the Fu Qin army, it is because they have strict military orders behind them, and if they don't rush forward, I'm afraid that the archers supporting behind them will target themselves.

The drums of the enemy's attack became more and more rapid, apparently urging the soldiers to speed up their ascent to the city. At this time, if you look at it from a distance, you will find that on the city wall, one by one, the Qin soldiers are constantly climbing towards the city, as if they are ants lining up.

The number of more than a dozen siege stairs together does not seem to be much, but the problem is that as long as one enemy army temporarily gains a foothold on the city wall, then the enemy army behind will use it as a base and continue to come to the city. Once the enemy army in the city reaches a certain number, for the Huashan army, if you want to drive them down, it will be no less difficult than attacking the city.

Li Xin and Zhou Tong ran back and forth, and the two of them almost surrounded the enemy with five or six siege ladders. The two of them killed the enemy bravely, and there was almost no one enemy, and after seeing their brave performance, the soldiers of the Huashan Army were deeply inspired and all fought bravely to kill the enemy.

"General Zhu, it seems that the anti-thieves in this city are really unusual, especially those two thieves, who are so brave, our soldiers want to gain a foothold in the city, but I'm afraid it's very difficult!" Seeing the situation on the city from a distance, Dong Xiu couldn't help frowning.

"Someone, send the order, let the archers concentrate their arrows and deal with those two thieves!" Hearing this, Zhu Lin thought for a moment and instructed the general beside him. In this era, bows and arrows were the best means of long-range sniping.

Soon, Li Xin and Zhou Tong at the head of the city realized that something was wrong, because those enemy archers under the city actually shot most of the arrows at the two of them. For a moment, they had to raise their shields to fend off, but in doing so, they were slower to move and no longer be able to take care of multiple places at once.

"What a containment plan, hmph, will I not be able to do this?" Li Xinzhong was furious, and asked the soldiers behind him to also change their bows and arrows, and hide behind the battlements to shoot at the enemy troops below. As for himself, he will use the shield as an offensive weapon, and use it directly to hit the enemy army who has just reached the top of the city. As soon as the enemy army stood firm at the top of the city, they felt a strong attack, and then they involuntarily fell down to the city.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong on the other side immediately learned from him, and the two guys seemed to be humanoid Tan~Ke, guarding the defensive place of the two as if they were an iron bucket. Such a scene deeply damaged the morale of the enemy army.

"It's rare to be so brave against thieves! Someone! The order goes down, and whoever can take the life of this thief will personally ask for a reward for him! After fighting for a while, but there was not even a single soldier standing up, Zhu Lin's face began to become not very good-looking, and he immediately gave a new order.

It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and when I hear that I can get a heavy reward, the key is that I can be an official! At this time, the enthusiasm of the enemy army was mobilized, and those ambitious guys began to specifically pick Li Xin and Zhou Tong to kill them where they defended.

"Boom!" With a bang, Li Xin hit with his shield as before, but this time he felt a rebound and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When I raised my eyes, I saw that the guy at the head of the city was still there, and he was not knocked down, but took advantage of this stunned effort to jump directly onto the military road.

"What a big guy!" As soon as he saw this enemy army, Li Xinxin couldn't help but flash a sentence.

The guy who jumped up was much taller than him, and he was not much worse than Li Erhei. And the weapon he used was different from others, it was actually a big axe, which was really the first time Li Xin had seen it.

After the enemy army came up, without saying a word, the plate axe in his hand swept towards Li Xin. This blow was full of strength, although he didn't hit it, but Li Xin already felt the powerful power, if he resisted hard, I am afraid that it would be directly cut in two. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all, and jumped back directly, and at the same time raised the shield in his hand to block the front.

With a "bang", Li Xin only felt a strong attack, and the arm holding his shield seemed to be gone, and he completely lost consciousness, and it took a while to recover. Fortunately, this time he had already changed to a better shield, otherwise, with the simple wooden shield of the previous one, I am afraid that the entire shield would have to be shattered under the blow of the other party.

After Li Xin saw it, he simply threw the shield in his hand on the spot, and then held the knife in both hands, and rushed towards the enemy general with a fierce heart, his hands were rounded, and he slashed one after another.

When the two fought, the others couldn't get close at all, and just above the city, the two started a big battle. For Li Xin, such a one-on-one fierce battle, except for the experience of practicing with Li Erhei and Zhou Tong on weekdays, he really has no experience. Fortunately, Li Erhei and they are also fierce generals, so this will not be afraid of this scene.

After a stormy attack, the enemy general was obviously also a little stunned, after all, he had never seen such a deadly fight. The big axe in his hand had to follow Li Xin's attack, and he couldn't play it at all. Just jumped up to the city, and was slowly forced back to the edge of the wall.

"Ahh When the enemy general found this, he was immediately very angry, and with a roar of rage, he actually ignored the knife that Li Xin had slashed at him, raised the big axe in his hand and slashed it at the top of his head.

When Li Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked, this guy is also fierce, and he has adopted a lose-lose style at this moment. Although it is very likely that his own knife will be directly pierced into his body, if the opponent is wearing armor, it may not cause fatal damage to him. But if the opponent's powerful axe really falls on his body, even if he is wearing leather armor, he may be split in half.

To put it bluntly, the other party is desperately in danger of being stabbed by himself, and he wants to kill himself completely.

"I'm afraid you won't succeed, let's see who is ruthless!" Li Xinxin's thoughts turned sharply, but he didn't have the idea of retreating at all, and he didn't want to think about it, and the knife in his hand flipped over, taking advantage of the situation to go up. If this time it is chopped, the big axe in the opponent's hand may not fall yet, and the two arms will have to be broken first.

This was much more serious than a simple injury, and the enemy general was obviously aware of this, and had to put away his thoughts, and slightly retracted the large axe in his hand in order to block the knife. It's a pity that Li Xin's change of tactics was very fast, and taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's strength and old use, the whole person pounced on the other party fiercely.

This time he used all his strength, and the knife in his hand pierced the leather armor with a pop, straight into the opponent's body. The enemy general let out a miserable scream, and before he could fight back, because of the collision of this huge force, the whole person was directly knocked out of the city and fell to the city.

"It's too dangerous! It's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future! Li Xin, who eliminated the strong enemy, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief at this time. And the surrounding soldiers of the Huashan Army were finally relieved when they saw this scene. After all, Li Xin's current status in the army is almost the backbone of the existence, if something really happens to him, I am afraid that it will affect the outcome of the battle to defend the city.

However, Li Xin didn't have time to rest, because during the time he was entangled, some enemy soldiers had already come up one after another on several siege ladders around him. Fortunately, under everyone's counterattack, these enemy troops were finally defeated in the city.

The bloody battle on the head of the city continued, and Zhou Tong on the other side also encountered Li Xin's situation. The enemy's strong generals were already staring at the two of them, and in this case, they were almost pinned down in place.

After killing three or four strong enemy soldiers in a row, Li Xin had to change a knife, there was no way, the quality of this weapon was too poor, and after a few fierce fights, it was already full of gaps and could not be used.

"Die!" Li Xin slashed down an enemy soldier who had just come to the city, but he was also stabbed by the opponent's spear, but fortunately there was leather armor, so the injury was not very serious.

"It would be nice if Li Erhei was here, that guy is the most suitable to deal with such an enemy soldier. It's a pity that he has to defend Dongcheng! After killing several enemy soldiers in a row, Li Xin also felt a little tired, and couldn't help but think of Li Erhei.

The enemy army under the city is still climbing up to the city, and everyone in the Huashan army in the city is also fighting bloodily. The two sides are already stuck together, and at this time, only real fighting is the final way to win, so the two sides almost unanimously gave up those archery actions.

With the fierce war, the Huashan Army also began to suffer casualties, and the recruits who were part of the reserve team were running around the city at this time, carrying the wounded down for treatment.

By sunset, the battle was at its most intense, and the enemy was already gaining foothold in many parts of the city. As long as these men stand on the top of the city for a moment, then the enemy army behind will soon come up, and then they will occupy more territory and buy more time for those behind. For the Huashan Army, the situation has become grim.
