Final Chapter. 8. The Fall of Taining (5)

After a crackling sound, the reimbursement of 500 coarse porcelain bowls was completely announced; And the 500 Huashen Sect believers, who were naked and tattooed with bells and whistles, shouted in their mouths, "Divine runes protect the body, soar the fog and control the clouds; Divine light protection, invulnerability" and other spells, staggering onto the battlefield ahead!

Don't look at these two groups of death squads, they are all the Shenfeng Battalion of the Huashen Sect, but in terms of the identity and status of the sect, there is a world of difference between these two groups of cannon fodder.

The 500 vanguard troops of the first battalion of Shenfeng were all supernumerary personnel of the Huashen Sect. Including the fifteen spies who had infiltrated Taining City in advance, none of the Mobei generals or the upper leaders of the Huashen Sect had any strategic expectations for these people. To put it more bluntly, it is cannon fodder, mercenaries, and death squads in its purest form; Most of them are poor people recruited from all over Huayu in a half-deceived and half-hired way; will come to the ghost place of Youbei Third Road to fight, mainly to earn a high reward.

Of course, if these people can finish a major battle alive, they can be naturally promoted to the soldiers of the second battalion of Shenfeng; Not only are you eligible to drink a bowl of invulnerable Huashen rune water before you charge, but you will also be accepted as a full member of the Huashen Sect and enjoy generous salaries and perfect benefits.

Although the soldiers of the second battalion of Shenfeng don't seem to have very bright brains; But after actually stepping on the battlefield, it was obvious that there was a difference between them, the official members, and the first battalion of cannon fodder.

In the face of the rain of arrows pouring down from the sky and the sun, the five hundred cannon fodder of the first battalion of Shenfeng were like a group of monkeys holding shields, although the shield array of defending against arrows could barely be maintained; However, the route of travel has been crooked, let alone echoing and cooperating with each other, and it is completely a posture of going their own way and resigning themselves to fate; However, looking at the second battalion of Shenfeng, since stepping on the battlefield, all of them have opened their arms, bare chests, and their heads are scattered and they are struggling towards Taining City, with a fearless fanatical light on their faces!

Seeing that they were ready to die generously at any time, it really made the archers on the Taining city wall stagnate a little; Big guy, I'll look at you, you look at me, no one knows where these 500 reserve troops got the neuropathy of the Mobei people! However, after a few moments, the archers increased the speed at which they drew their bows and arrows, for they considered themselves to be despised and insulted by the enemy for their proud archery and intelligence!

This 100-step charge distance seems to be very far, but due to the obstruction of the shooting realm, most of the Huashen believers only need to receive two or three baptisms of arrow rain before they can successfully reach the city of Taining! Judging by the casualty figures, the cannon fodder of the first battalion arrived at the city and paid less than a hundred casualties; And the soldiers of the second battalion are worthy of the people who drank the vajra talisman! After the baptism of arrows, the people who successfully reached the city were probably in their early 200s.

The severity of this group of psychopaths is evident from this.

"Brothers, it's all good! The master of the chapter sect is invincible, casting spells to protect us from invulnerability, and invulnerable! Let him rain arrows all over the world, we have our own sect master's divine power to protect the body, there is nothing to fear! Let's hurry up the ladder and siege tower, and prepare to follow the senior brother and me to the city to kill the enemy! ”

I don't know if these fanatical Huashen cultists really have gods to protect their bodies in the dark; The commander and senior brother of the second battalion of Shenfeng, who was at the forefront of the team, is now unscathed! He slapped his chest with the side of his sword, showing the boundless power of the charm's invulnerability; While commanding the rest of the living forces in a loud voice, go to help the auxiliaries erect ladders and siege towers!

Thanks to the joint efforts of these mentally ill people, the first ladder finally clinged to the city walls; With a loud bang, the two Huashen Sect-born auxiliaries quickly shook the winch and clung the two hooked claws at the top of the ladder to the edge of the city wall.

When Guo Xing, who was standing in the distance and watching the battle situation, saw this, he immediately realized that the fighter had arrived, and loudly announced the next general order:

"Sword and shield battalion, the whole battalion presses forward!"

After the general order, two thousand elite soldiers wearing familiar leather armor and holding iron and wooden shields protected a group of auxiliary soldiers carrying simple bamboo ladders, and quickly advanced towards the Taining city wall!

On the northern end of the city wall, Da Liuzi, the deputy commander of the Taining garrison, also heard the news that the cloud ladder hooked the edge of the city. He immediately looked back at Wan Zhihai, but after the other party felt the gaze, he just shook his head, and compared a "too little" with his mouth, so he immediately turned his head and continued to command the battle.

The equipment and quality of these two thousand sword and shield soldiers are obviously much better. After several rounds of arrows, they managed to reach the city, with negligible casualties. Seeing this, Wan Zhihai immediately shouted to Feng Sisi, who was waiting for him under the city:

"The longbow battalion retreated to the city for repairs, and the spear battalion took fifty auxiliaries to quickly change the north wall to defend against the enemy!"

With Feng Si, a veteran soldier, commanding under the city, the exchange of defense between the arms has been completed in a moment. This not very wide northern wall, except for the pike battalion that had just changed its guard, there were only a few dozen unarmed auxiliaries in leather armor left, and they no longer had any long-range blocking ability. Da Liuzi looked at the simple bamboo ladders leaning on the city wall, nervously biting his chapped lower lip, and looked at the city lord Wan Zhihai several times, but he never dared to say anything to remind him.

Most of the believers of the Huashen Sect are from ordinary people, and their own jobs are also varied, and they can be said to have their own strengths. According to the military regulations that pass the world, if the soldiers who climb the enemy's city wall first, if they can survive the battle, they will immediately be promoted to three levels in a row, and they will also receive a large amount of reward; Even if you die in battle, the money will be turned into a bereavement pension and returned to the person's family.

And today, the first person to climb the tower of Taining was originally a mason, and he was invincible when he climbed the ladder, and the monkey had to retreat when he saw him. This person was carrying a round shield and a steel knife in his mouth, and when the ladder had just hooked the edge of the city, he immediately climbed up with his hands and feet, and climbed up in three or two steps, lest someone pull out the top first!

Until he vaguely found that the defenders on the city wall were changing guards, he was still laughing at the stupidity of the other party in his heart: the brains of the Youbei barbarians are not bright, haven't you eaten pork and never seen a pig run? I don't know how to use the rolling log when I hang it on the city wall, and I don't know how to push it when I put a ladder on the city wall. If this archer withdraws again, won't the road of the army charge a flat road......

But as he climbed higher and higher, gradually reaching eye level with the towering walls, he felt his own stupidity! He spotted the hot tung oil that was bubbling in the corner, and the "golden juice" that was smelling foul!

He just wanted to bow his head and shout this accident, but he immediately felt a tightness in his throat, and he could no longer make a sound......

This accurate throat-piercing arrow is from Wan Zhihai's handwriting. When he shot the soldier first, he looked at the silver-armored general in the enemy formation, knowing that the other party would never increase his troops again, and finally sighed, waved his hand at Da Liuzi, and secretly said in his heart: Hey, there are capable people in the enemy formation!

After Da Yanagi received the order, he immediately shouted loudly:

"Rolling wood and stones, tung oil golden juice! As long as there are guys at hand, pick them all up for me and throw them at the place with the most people! All the auxiliaries immediately pushed the bamboo ladder, and the puppies who climbed the city wall immediately pierced him with their guns! The rest of you, take your weapons and follow me to guard the ladder! Herald, let his mother the dog officer of the New Year's Day, hurry up and bring up the fierce fire oil, this ghost thing is still covered with a layer of tide skin, and the ordinary fire can't be lit! ”

Da Liuzi stretched out his hand to pick up the spear, and with a dozen henchmen of the vanguard battalion, he went straight to the second ladder that had just been set up at the corner of the northwest city wall; And the first cloud ladder in the northeast corner had been pouring into the enemy army at this time, and Wan Zhihai immediately picked up a big gun and personally went into battle to kill the enemy!

Don't look at the number of more than 2,000 enemy troops, it is not too much; But under Guo Xing's strange order to only attack the northern section of the city wall, an incomparably bloody battlefield was still outlined! The Taining auxiliaries on the city wall desperately pulled up the giant log that was enough for three people to hug, until the highest point, with the captain's order, everyone let go of their hands, and the giant log that fell freely smashed all the enemy troops under the city wall into a puddle of flesh! They only dragged back and forth three or four times, and the chains at both ends of the log were already covered with a dark red mass of minced meat; And the sound of the log landing on the ground has become as sticky as a mille-feuille boot stepping into the muddy ground, which is disgusting!

Buckets of boiling tung oil and gold juice poured down, even the Huashen believers who drank the water of the King Kong rune will also end up falling down the ladder with cooked skin and rotten flesh! Moreover, the horror of this gold juice and tung oil is not only in the ultra-high temperature that cooks when touched: whether it is tung oil or dung juice, it has a strong adhesion and stickiness, even if it is only splashed on a small piece of skin and flesh, but even if the wound is treated with water immediately, it is difficult to avoid the result of infection and ulceration! It can also be said that whether it is scalded on the spot by these things, or accidentally splashed, it is the same fate!

Countless small injuries that will still linger for a long time before death are the real horror of this classical city defense weapon!

Guo Xing, who was sitting on a horse in the distance, after two successive increases of troops, Wan Zhihai, who finally forced him, couldn't bear it and showed off their weapons to defend the city; But the fly in the ointment was that none of the four gates had been opened, so he no longer had any hope. He waved his hand behind him and shouted "Raise fire", and the five hundred longbowmen immediately went out of line, ignited the rockets in the braziers brought by the auxiliaries, and aimed at the Taining city wall in the distance......

Qilinjun couldn't hold back anymore at this time, shouted "Slow", and then quickly rushed forward and held down Guo Xing's unsheathed general sword:

"Wait! Our people are still near the city walls! Can you tell whose head this arrow has no eyes? ”

Qilinjun is a Jianghu man, not a saint, let alone a soldier. Even though he had stabbed countless enemies, it was still beyond his final bottom line to shoot his own people along with the enemy army!
