Encouraged by this, the pirates launched another onslaught on the city.

After all, the number of rolling logs and stones is limited, and the boiling oil and hot water are not endless.

Taking advantage of the momentary pause of the defenders, many agile pirates had already come to a position close to the head of the city.

"Put the Yaksha on the slap!"

Ning Xiu coldly ordered.

The so-called yaksha beat is actually a nail beat, and it is covered with nails that are a sharp weapon for defending the city.

But that's not something that any city can have.

When he learned that there was also a yaksha shooting in Xiangshan County, Ning Xiu was also surprised.

However, this thing is indeed a big killer, and the soldiers used ropes to hold up the Yaksha and shoot it down again, and many pirates near the city were slapped into flesh.

Some of the pirates did not die immediately and wailed, and their bodies were full of wounds and terrible.

The soldiers defending the city showed no mercy.

In their eyes, these pirates are all evil demons, and they don't deserve pity at all.

They hooked up the yaksha and slapped it, repeating the action mechanically.

"His grandmother is a bear, this nail shot is really powerful."

Seeing the brothers fall one by one, Scarface scolded.

"Kuroko, tell someone to shoot arrows at the city wall to cover the brothers."

Li Dan was quite calm and made a reluctant decision.

Archery is divided into flat shooting, projectile shooting, and upward shooting.

Among them, flat fire is used for close-range shooting, and projectile shooting is a special method for long-distance shooting.

As the name suggests, the upward shot is aimed at dealing with the enemy forces on the fortress at the head of the city.

Of the three types of shooting, flat fire is the most lethal and can pierce armor. The second is projectile, although it can't break the armor, but there is still a threat to the killing of the unarmoured.

The threat of an upward shot is minimal. Not to mention that there aren't many arrows that can reach the city.

Even the arrows that hit the head of the city are also the end of the strong crossbows, and they don't have much strength.

But there is no way to do this, something is better than nothing, at least it can form a kind of deterrence, so that the enemy army does not dare to act unscrupulously.

"Shield, shield raised!"

Ning Xiu saw that there were random arrows shooting at the head of the city, and hurriedly ordered.

The soldiers raised their shields one after another.

Only a thumping sound was heard, but it was the sound of arrows hitting the shield.

Qi Wen and other veterans also raised their shields to protect Ning Xiu.

In their opinion, the safety of Xiangshan County is important, but the safety of Keningxiu is even more important.

And they were sent by the master and the young lady to protect Ning Xiu, so naturally they couldn't let their uncle suffer even the slightest damage.

Ning Xiu was very calm. He knew that it was impossible for these pirates to keep shooting arrows to put pressure on the city. First, they didn't have as many arrows, and second, they were under much more pressure than the defenders.

Sure enough, after the first round of heavy fire, the pirates' offensive immediately weakened.

Ning Xiu seized the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows downward.

The close-range direct fire caused the pirates to suffer heavy losses, and many fell directly from the ladder to their deaths.

Of course, there were also a few fierce pirates who climbed to the top of the city and tried to fight the defenders hand-to-hand.

But they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and although they were in a state of euphoria, it was impossible for them to defeat ten with one.

Under the leadership of Qi Wen and other veterans of the Qi family's army, the defenders started a white-knuckle battle with the pirates with horizontal knives in hand, and soon cut down these pirates who rushed up first.

"His grandmother is a bear, and the big boss has been killed again."

Looking at the situation in the city, Scarface's eyes widened with anger.

Li Dan's face was a little pale.

His Adam's apple twitched slightly, but he still didn't say a word.

"Hey!"

Seeing that the big boss didn't speak, Scarface didn't say much, so he could only encourage the brothers to continue the siege.

But this Xiangshan county town was too difficult to fight, and the brothers folded half of it in succession, and only touched the wall battlements.

As soon as half of his body crossed the wall, he felt a chill on his neck.

Qi Wen coldly swung the horizontal knife, and a big head flew up.

Pillars of blood gushed out and splashed on Qi Wen's face.

Qi Wen didn't wipe it, and continued to deal with the rest of the pirates.

A headless corpse suddenly fell and smashed on the head of a green skin, and the green skin fell with a groan.

When he landed, his chest hit the ground, and he heard only a click, which must have broken his ribs.

The green skin immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest, and Venus appeared in front of him.

"!"

Scarface kicked Qingpi hard, and Qingpi was also annoyed, and opened his mouth to bite Scarface's calf.

At this time, Scarface did not have leggings, only wore a pair of thin pants, and was bitten so hard by Qingpi that he saw blood.

Enraged, he swung his knife and slashed at the green skin's neck, and the green skin couldn't dodge and was cut off alive in the head.

"Fuck your mother's crumbs, dare to bite Lao Tzu!"

Scarface tried to pull his head off his calf, but the green-skinned teeth were still clenched.

Scarface was furious, but he could only command the battle with this head.

From time to time, pirates fell from the city, and the defenders gradually suffered casualties, most of them were shot by stray arrows.

However, judging from the casualty ratio, Ning Xiu felt that it was completely acceptable.

If it was a field battle outside the city, these townspeople-dominated officers and soldiers would naturally not be the opponents of the ferocious pirates, but now they were defending the city, and Ning Xiu had used all the resources he could use, and now it seemed that the effect was very good.

"His grandmother is a bear, and the big boss can't fight anymore."

Scarface couldn't help it, and said to Li Dan: "If we fight again, our remaining dozens of brothers will have to fold here." ”

Li Dan's face was solemn, obviously weighing the gains and losses.

After a long time, he let out a long breath and said helplessly: "Withdraw." ”

At this point, all the Haikou breathed a sigh of relief.

They also did not bother to inform the others who were still climbing and fighting, so they turned on their horses and fled.

Ning Xiu naturally discovered this, and he ordered the gunners to shoot.

However, the cavalry moved very fast, and except for a few horses, the rest of the pirates did not suffer much damage.

The rest of the pirates were completely reduced to fish on the chopping board and were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers.

Most of them were killed on the spot, and a few of them surrendered with their heads in their arms and crying.

Ning Xiu ordered people to tie them up and take them into the city for torture, but did not send cavalry to pursue Li Dan.

Although he has never led a soldier, he still knows the truth of poor Kou Mochasing.

God knows if this Li Dan set up an ambush outside the city, waiting for Ning Xiu to crash into him.

There are fifteen mercenaries in this city, as well as more than a dozen veterans of the Qi family's army.

These Franc mercenaries only use firearms, and are of little use in horse warfare. It is equivalent to that if Ning Xiu sends cavalry to pursue, there are only a dozen reliable people, which is absolutely not good.

After confirming that Li Dan had led his troops to escape, Ning Xiu ordered people to open the city gate and count the results. The battle was quite fruitful.

A total of 137 pirates and 368 green-skinned ruffians were killed.

The head of the pirate is more valuable, and the green-skinned ruffian can only be classified as a bandit.

However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and these heads can still be exchanged for a few thousand taels of silver.
