Chapter 15: Stalemate

At the head of the city, Li Xin was about to kill the enemy in front of him, when he suddenly heard a soft sound, and then, a feather arrow grazed by his side, almost hitting him directly.

"Watch out for enemy archers!" Li Xin looked down and immediately understood that the enemy's archers had advanced not far from the city and scattered to carry out fixed-point strikes. Immediately after shouting, he picked up his shield on the ground, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and continued to fight the enemy.

At the same time, the other people had already noticed the changes in the enemy and understood the other party's thoughts, and everyone had to fight to kill the enemy while guarding the opponent's archers. With such a fixed-point attack, the opponent completely blocked the walls around the siege ladder with archers, but if Li Xin dared to show his head, he would usher in a feathered arrow. In a short period of time, several people have been killed or injured as a result.

"Tu Qi, Tu Qi, you go and call Li Erhei over to me, tell him, just say what I said, now is the time to show his archery skills, and solve all the archers under me!" Li Xin turned his head and shouted behind him.

No one responded to his words, but after a while, Li Erhei's figure appeared not far away, hiding under the battlements with his waist bent, secretly observing outside. In a few moments, the first feathered arrows were fired.

At this time, it was the middle of the night, and the enemy was attacking continuously, and although the casualties were also increasing, the other side did not seem to intend to stop because of this. Even from any point of view, this siege is very unfavorable for them.

"General, General Fu, the newly made siege ladder has been delivered!" Under the city wall, Fu Yun finally heard a good news at this time.

"It's finally here, you two personally lead the team, quietly touch along this cliff, I'll help you attract the enemy's attention here, if you can't attack it, come and see you!" A hint of anger flashed on Fu Yun's face, and he pointed to the two generals behind him who had quarreled before.

"Yes, the last general obeys!" Seeing his expression, the two generals felt a pang in their hearts and hurriedly bowed down. Then he turned around and led the people to attack the city.

Seeing these two teams of soldiers disappear into the darkness, a hint of anticipation flashed in Fu Yun's eyes. He regretted it now, if he had known that the anti-thieves in the city were strong, he was afraid that he would not have brought such a little siege ladder here. When he came here and found that the city was heavily defended, he thought of stepping up the control on the Tongguan side, but unfortunately, because of his light enemy this time, the Qin soldiers had already suffered a lot of casualties.

"Order the archers, suppress the anti-thieves on the city wall with all their might, and make sure that they can't hold their heads up and buy time for the two generals!" After looking at it for a while, he gave an order to the soldiers on the side.

At the head of the city, Li Xin and the others soon faced the attack of the rain of arrows again, and had to turn to a defensive state. As a sniper, Li Erhei will have to stop looking for the enemy's traces and protect himself first.

"Damn, the guy outside the city is so generous, this arrow is put up like he doesn't want money!" Li Erhei cautiously moved to Li Xin's side, and said with some envy.

"That's because we're used to living a hard life, when we have their big territory, this life won't be tight! At this moment, the siege is halfway through, but the enemy is coming again, and there must be a problem. Look around, I'm afraid that the enemy is going to do some tricks, but don't fall for it! Listening to the sound of falling feather arrows around him, Li Xin suddenly frowned.

"What you say is reasonable, I'll go and see!" Li Erhei was reminded and hurriedly checked.

During this period of time, the battle was relatively concentrated on the side close to the river, after all, the terrain there was more open, and it was more capable of being used by the besieging side. Comparatively speaking, most of the troops on the castle were attracted to that side, and although there were also people stationed on the wall near the cliff, they were suppressed by the rain of arrows, so from the outside, it looked as if there was no one at all.

The two generals of Di Qin, each with twenty soldiers, carried the siege ladder next to the bottom of the cliff and quickly approached the city wall, and quietly began to climb up. Intimidated by the strictness of military orders, they did not dare to slack off and be lazy, and at this moment they all took the lead in person, and took the lead in climbing towards the city with a knife in their mouths. These two teams were not ordinary soldiers at first glance, and they were very quick in the process of action, not to mention, and there was no sound at all.

The villagers who were defending against the arrow rain on the wall did not notice at all that the arrow rain on their heads had begun to shift at this time, and was replaced by fixed-point shooting, because at this moment, the two teams of men and horses were already about to land on the top of the city. In particular, the two generals led by him have already stepped on the battlements.

"Ah......h Before a few people could react, they had already died under the swords of these two people, and the enemy completely stood on the head of the city.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The two Qin generals stood at the siege ladder at this time, urging the soldiers below to hurry up to the city.

"Sure enough, there's a problem, these damn thieves actually sneaked up! However, if you meet the second black master, you are unlucky! Li Erhei, who was looking around, had just come to this city, and when he saw the scene of those villagers being killed, he immediately said angrily.

Without thinking too much, the situation was already critical, Erhei directly pulled the bowstring and flew towards one of the Qin generals with an arrow. Without waiting for the other party to react, he threw the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted, "Kill!" "With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he slew him.

This sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the city. Li Xin saw the scene over there from a distance, and suddenly said in his heart: "It's not good, these guys actually played the trick of attacking everything, but I was negligent!" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Tu Qi to bring someone to support Li Erhei. In an instant, the fiercest battle in the entire city was moved directly to the wall near the edge of the cliff.

"Useless things, found out so quickly! The order goes down, the archers stop shooting and attack the city with all their might! Fu Yun below saw that the two teams of soldiers and horses were intercepted, and he was immediately furious, and after muttering for a while, he ordered.

With his order, I saw that the Qin soldiers under the city began to rush under the city wall, a total of eight siege ladders, under such a city wall, it was almost very dense. One by one, the Di Qin soldiers began to climb up towards the city, and for a while, the entire line of the east city wall was attacked by the Di Qin soldiers, and Li Xin and they were now facing great pressure to fight on the whole front.

"Kill!" Without the interference and threat of bows and arrows, Li Xin threw the shield in his hand behind him, shouted, and killed the nearest Qin soldier to him. The people at the head of the city heard his voice and launched a counterattack, and the battle reached its most fierce stage.

"Pounce on .....!" Li Xin slashed down with a knife, hitting the enemy's right shoulder, blood spurted out, staining the leather armor on his body red, and the enemy's corpse fell to the city like a broken puppet, and there was already a pile of corpses.

So far, the battle has gone through more than three hours, even with his physical strength, he already feels a little tired, not to mention the others, and the enemy below is still climbing up, and it seems that it will never be broken.

In the past three hours, some parts of the city have changed hands several times, and under the strong attack of the enemy, the villagers defending the city are facing great pressure, especially after some fierce enemies stand on the city, which often brings great casualties.

Like the two Qin generals before, if Li Erhei hadn't blocked it, and then Li Xin would soon go to support himself, I'm afraid he would have really been succeeded by the other party. In the end, the two enemies were beheaded at the head of the city, but more than a dozen people on their own side were killed and wounded at the hands of the other side.

The good news is that since the rolling logs and stones are thrown somewhere outside the city gate, the place is now basically blocked, and the enemy will have to clean up these things before they want to break through the city gate. This is not an easy task, after all, the people of the city will not watch them clean up.

Li Xin killed the enemy in front of him and quickly glanced at the other place. On the other side, Zhou Tong was still killing the Quartet, and Li Erhei was in a similar situation, the entire city, where he and the two of them were, seemed to have been focused on by the enemy, and the enemies who were not afraid of death were constantly killing the three of them.

The reserves below have already been brought up, and at the moment when the enemy launches a full-scale attack, otherwise it would not have been possible to support it for so long.

"Tu Qi, how are our casualties now?" While killing the enemy, Li Xin asked Tu Qi beside him.

He now found that this boy was a qualified herald, because he always seemed to be able to see him by his side whenever he needed him.

"I don't know, but it looks like half of the dead and wounded are missing! The rest are already too tired! These thieves are indeed fierce! Tu Qi glanced around and said with some uncertainty.

"It can't go on like this, we can't compare the number of people with each other, and besides, it's the first time for us to defend this kind of city, and it's easy to be negligent in many places. Come here, I'll give you a mission! Hearing this, Li Xin's brows furrowed even deeper, and after a while of silence, he said to him.

Tu Qi hurriedly came over, and after Li Xin finished saying a few words, he ran directly down to the city.
