Chapter 180: The Battle of Liangquan (4)

Li Xiaofeng glanced coldly at the city wall in front of him, waved his hand to Zhuge Cheng under the shed without looking back, and ordered in a deep voice: "Release!" Fry me hard! ”

"Ready!" After Zhuge Cheng received Li Xiaofeng's order, he turned his head and quickly waved his hand to convey the order to the soldier operating the ballista.

As everyone gradually became proficient in operation and cooperation, almost after Zhuge Cheng gave the order, the two ballistas began to creak and squeak, and they would soon be ready to fire.

"Put!" The red flag in Zhuge Cheng's hand waved forward fiercely, and he gave an order loudly.

At this time, the defenders in the city were still secretly proud, thinking that ** might choose to retreat, and Shi Zhi was still inspecting everyone one by one and would also be kind to enlighten and comfort everyone, he was also secretly proud of his leadership talent at this time.

At this time, the air remembered the previous whistling sound again, and suddenly the faces of more than a part of the defenders changed greatly, and they immediately turned into a face full of horror from the calm they had just regained with great difficulty, and they were a little at a loss in the same place, not knowing what to do.

"General! Be careful! After hearing the sound, Shi Zhi's personal soldiers immediately raised the shield in their hands to surround it, and looked at the source of the sound with a vigilant face. Although they didn't know how powerful the weapon was in the mouths of the crowd, they still knew something from the multiple versions in the mouths of the crowd, and their physical and mental instincts made them vigilant.

But Shi Zhi's face was full of indifference, he had already walked directly above the city gate at this time, when he heard the voice, Shi Zhi's face did not show any fear, but with a trace of dazed look, and even mixed with some curiosity about unknown things. Although his own soldiers surrounded him in the middle, he reached out and pushed away the two soldiers in front of him, and strode towards the front.

"Oh no! Run! When one of the defenders saw through the rain curtain that the iron ball was flying in his direction, he could no longer care about military law, and even threw his shield aside, holding his head and shouting, and began to run towards the side of the passage.

With the first person as an example, there will be people to imitate, so after the first person throws his shield and gives up his post, the second and third people begin to follow his example, especially the companions around the man, almost at the same time as the man opened his mouth and raised his legs, his companions followed and raised their feet and ran away, and at the same time shouted: "Go away!" Dead people! ”

One of them should be a ghost theist, and when he ran away, he didn't forget to shout loudly: "**The heavenly soldiers and generals are here again!" Brothers, retreat, we can't stop it! ”

When Shi Zhi saw these situations, he was stunned for a moment, and then he took a big step to catch up and stop everyone, and also drew his sword and stabbed to death a Qi soldier who wanted to run past him, and at the same time shouted: "Death to those who retreat!" Give me back and hold on! ”

Just as Shi Zhi finished shouting this, two round-headed arrows climbed the city wall one after the other. The first one fell over the battlement and into the passage, and suddenly a fire rose with a loud thud, followed by the sound of the explosion of thistles hitting the shield or the defenders' armor, and there was a subtle sound of popping into the flesh.

Shi Zhi, who was advancing, only felt that a black thing suddenly drilled into the ground from the battlement, and then felt a light in front of him, followed by a muffled sound of "boom" in his ears, and then he felt a violent shaking under his feet.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhi felt a chill on his left cheek, and then he felt a burst of pain, in a panic, he raised his hand and touched the left side of his face, there was a slimy feeling, and at the same time, a bloody smell came into his nose, and he realized that he was injured, and it was still injured on his face.

"General, be careful! Tang thieves have hidden weapons! Although the pro-soldiers who were left behind by Shi Zhi were also more or less affected, but fortunately, most of them were unhindered, and after reacting, they hurriedly ran to Shi Zhi's side with a shield and surrounded him, and one of the pro-soldiers also reached out and pressed Shi Zhi's shoulder to lower him a little.

The other arrow hit the shield in the hands of a soldier who didn't know the height of the sky, and the huge impact force brought the soldier to the other side of the city wall, and after the person's body hit the city wall, the iron ball at the top of the arrow exploded.

After the man found the iron ball arrow, he tried to intercept it outside the city wall with the giant shield in his hand, but he was knocked out without thinking, and the giant shield in his hand had already bent under the huge momentum, but this also made the iron thistle terrestris after the explosion less lethal.

But the man was more miserable, although his actions invisibly saved many of his companions, but he himself died with a whimper. I saw that the flesh and blood on his chest were blurred, and he couldn't even see the armor on his body, and there was a smell of burnt meat around him. The shield in front of him blocking the iron ball was also blasted into a large hole, and the spikes that protruded from the broken gap also pierced deep into his body.

At the moment when his body hit the wall behind him, he just felt a shock in his body, and before the feeling of pain spread through his nervous system, he heard a violent sound, and even his eardrum was cracked, and then he felt a feeling of lightness, and then his consciousness began to dissipate rapidly, and he died completely without feeling any pain.

After the arrow that landed on the city wall exploded, the flames were extinguished by the heavy rain in the sky almost in the blink of an eye, and then a cloud of black smoke stretched out, and the original bluestone bricks around it had turned black.

And this section of the city wall, which was originally only a small part of the panic, turned into a panic under the sudden attack of the Feng family's army again, and it was also passed on to the nearby companions, and everyone began to flee one after another.

This time the escape is not simply gathered on both sides of the city wall to take refuge, because in that case, they will still be forced back to their posts by Shi Zhi with a sword again, so everyone simply began to scramble to withdraw from the city wall, some people have even begun to take off their armor on the way to escape and throw it behind them or under the city, many people's weapons have long been at the beginning of the escape did not know where to throw, everyone's biggest wish now is to escape from this nightmarish place, quickly remove the city wall and flee for their lives.

Shi Zhi was injured in the face by the thistle in the explosion just now, and he couldn't even speak at this time, because if he opened his mouth, the muscles of his face would move, and the wound nearly a centimeter deep almost opened another mouth on his left cheek.

At this time, Shi Zhi's left hand was slightly bent to cover the wound on the left side of his face, and he tried his best to keep the facial muscles from being pulled, while his right hand was constantly waving towards those deserters, and occasionally cutting over one or two deserters passing by him.

Until this time, Shi Zhi couldn't see any horror in his eyes, only anger and hatred and a trace of unwillingness that was not easy to be detected. It was a kind of anger that hated iron and steel, that was a hatred of deserters on the battlefield, and that trace of unwillingness was a mood for the defeat he was about to face.
