Chapter 1378: Countermeasures
On the tower of Xicheng City, Wanyan Agu stood on a high place with a cold face, and a strong bow in his hand continued to shoot at the city. Each arrow pierced the body of a Liao soldier, and the arrow did not miss a shot. Beside him, the beautiful Wanyan Mingyue was dressed in purple armor, holding a sandalwood bow and crossbow, and also fired crossbow arrows towards the city. The brother and sister have already shot more than 30 Liao soldiers.
"Sister, go down to the city to rest, if you are not feeling well, don't fight at the head of the city. There's my brother here. After Wanyan Agu shot and killed a Liao soldier, he turned his head and said to Wanyan Mingyue with concern.
Wan Yan Mingyue's face was indeed a little pale, and during the time since the siege began, she had vomited several times. But she refused to go down to the city to rest, saying only that she was fine. Wanyan Agu Da also felt strange in his heart, the sister has often vomited for no reason recently, but she refused to let Lang Zhong treat, which is very strange. And the girl doesn't seem to be in any big deal, except for the occasional vomiting, there's nothing unusual. During this time, he was busy preparing for the defense of the city, and Wanyan Agu was also very busy, but he didn't have time to take care of this matter.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm just a little sick to my stomach. The scene in front of me is too tragic, so it is. Brother doesn't have to worry about me. Look, their chariot is almost there, brother, it's almost time, it's time to do it. It's not good to wait for them to cross the river, and it's best to get them stuck in that river. After Yan Mingyue didn't look at Yan Agu, she only frowned and looked at the battlefield under the city, and said in a deep voice.
Wanyan Agu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, wait for them to get closer." Hey, if it weren't for the girl's cleverness this time, and she gave advice to her brother, my brother wouldn't know how to deal with these cloud cars. If the strategy is effective, the first credit will have to be recorded on the girl's head, and no one will have anything to say. Thank you so much, girl. ”
Wanyan Mingyue said lightly: "I'm not for credit, I'm just contributing to my Jurchen tribe." Meantime...... It's also the fulfillment of my promise. I promised you to help you fight, and my sister naturally won't break her word. ”
Wanyan Agu was stunned, frowned, and said, "Sister, are you still angry with your brother?" It's all in the past, don't be angry. Sister, don't think that your brother doesn't know what's going on, I asked Bai Yun'er, and she said that you have been vomiting lately, which is a sign of pregnancy. Tell my brother, is this Lin Jue's kid's species? ”
Wanyan Mingyue was stunned for a moment, her pale face flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, why are you asking this?" How can Bai Yun'er speculate wildly? I'm just a little unwell, so don't speculate. ”
Wanyan Agu sighed and said, "Sister, my brother knows that you are dissatisfied with me, but don't worry, even if this is Lin Jue's child, can I still not hurt him?" That's your child, too. It's a pity...... That bastard boy refused to stay in my Jurchen tribe, betrayed my kindness, and abandoned you, so why should you be obsessed with him? In fact, it's better not to have this child, then Lin Jue won't come to see you again, why do you bother to help him have a child? If only I could have asked the witch doctor in the clan to help you, and beat this child. I don't want you to be burdened with more. It's good for you too. ”
Wanyan Mingyue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and scolded coldly: "Brother, what did you say? If you dare to move a finger on my child, I won't let you go!" Lin Lang didn't give up on me, but brother, you are ungrateful to him, if it weren't for the current enemy, I wouldn't have said a word to you at all. I warn you, even if you are my elder brother, even if you are my Jurchen chieftain, whoever dares to touch my child is my enemy of Wanyan Mingyue. ”
Wanyan Agu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's it, when my brother didn't say it, don't be angry." I don't say it, so why get so excited? See? I'm going to vomit again, isn't it? Come and help the princess go down to the city to rest. ”
Wanyan Mingyue did vomit again, lying on the battlement and retching, and several female guards hurriedly stepped forward to support her. But it was stopped by Wanyan Mingyue.
"If I don't go down to the city, I will kill the enemy. Not for others, for the sake of my Jurchen people, for me and the child in my womb to live. Brother, you are on your own, the enemy is now, you should concentrate on fighting, and don't talk this nonsense to me again. Wan Yan Mingyue shouted coldly.
Wanyan Agu was helpless, even if he was the leader of the Jurchen clan, even if he glared at the entire Jurchen tribe, he would be frightened, but in the face of his sister, he was helpless.
Under the city, more than a dozen cloud caravans, although moving slowly, have already traveled more than halfway on the embankment in the moat. After two more feet, you will go ashore and quickly reach the city. The levee was so difficult to move that the six heavy wheels of the roller coaster were so deep that they had to keep putting logs under the wheels to prevent them from sinking into the soft dike. There was too much time to be delayed for this. The mules and horses were also extremely difficult to pull in front, and hundreds of people around the cloud car pushed forward together, which made the cloud car move forward inch by inch.
However, as the distance gets closer, the threat posed by the archers at the top of the mob increases. They were condescending and fired their arrows at the head of the city, and the defenders of the city were shot from above, with nowhere to hide, and suffered heavy casualties. The Arcane has even played its main role in siege before it has already shown its formidable threat.
Wanyan Aguda thought the time had come.
"Where's Hulu?" Wanyan Agu shouted.
Sweating profusely and with a feather arrow in his arm, Hu Lu rushed from the side wall and said loudly: "Great leader, the last general." ”
Wanyan Agu glanced at him and said, "Are you okay, are you seriously injured?" ”
Hu Lu said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, it's just an arrow, leave it alone for the time being, and heal it later." Grand Chief, it's time for us to do it. ”
Wanyan Agu nodded and shouted: "Order, act immediately, let their cloud chariots lie on the embankment, and they must not be allowed to attack the city." ”
Hu Lu promised loudly, and when he turned around and ran outside, he didn't forget to glance at Wan Yan Mingyue, but he was startled by Wan Yan Mingyue's cold gaze, and hurriedly turned his head and left.
On the flagpole at the top of the Xicheng Tower, a flag with eagle wings spread was raised high. Among the enemy towers at the head of the city
The operators of several three-bow bed crossbows put a large crossbow arrow with a large barb into the groove of the bed crossbow. At the sound of an order, the bed crossbow buzzed, and the crossbow arrows shot out with the sound of wind and thunder. The bolts were fired from different directions, targeting the tall, bulky body of the nearest chariot moving across the moat. Surprisingly, these small arm-thick crossbow arrows are hung with thick ropes behind them, and as the crossbow arrows fly, the ropes stretch out in the air. When the bolt pierced through the iron shell and was firmly stuck in the outer shell of the Vapor Wheel, there were several more rope bridges between the city wall and the Vapor Wheel. The special barb of the crossbow hook hooked the robber's sturdy inner layer of hardwood, firmly embedded in it.
All the Liao siege soldiers were stunned, and they were a little puzzled.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be ...... Could it be that the Liao people want to climb up the ropeway to the cloud car? ”
But that idea quickly faded because it was absolutely possible. Not to mention whether you can climb along the rope, it takes excellent skills. Even if they could crawl over, what would they do? They can only reach the outer shell of the SkyShuttle, and they can't do any damage. Could it be that they still make holes and get into them? Before they could succeed, they were shot with arrows and bows.
But what are they doing here?
The answer was soon revealed. The thick ropes soon stretched straight, and the other ends of several long ropes were thrown to the ground on the inner side of the wall. Hundreds of horses were already waiting on the long streets of the city, and after the ropes were tied to death, the Jurchen soldiers in the city waved their whips and began to drive the horses, quickly straightening the ropes and pulling them up violently.
Because the height of the roller crane was nearly two feet above the city wall, the rope straightened and crossed the city wall without hindrance. The hundreds of horses in the city can even pull a big tree up to the roots, not to mention these rootless cloud carts? The design of the arc car naturally takes into account the stability of the center of gravity, but when propelling, the weight underneath must be emptied, otherwise it will be difficult to travel. Only when the designated position is reached, the weight is pressed against the ground and the stakes are nailed down to secure the ground. At that point, there will be nothing to shake. But at the moment, the roller coaster is on top of the embankment on the river. The embankment is already soft, and the center of gravity of the roller is not very stable, so it can only maintain a condition that will not overturn. However, once you are dragged by a hundred horses, it is difficult to maintain your center of gravity.
Hundreds of horses roared and pulled the ropes forward under the swing of the long whip, and the chariot shook, and finally in the chilling cracking sound of Kerala, the whole chariot began to tilt. The soldiers of the Liao army screamed in panic and jumped away like a pot, they could not do anything about it, they could only watch as the behemoth collapsed in the direction of the city.
Boom, boom. After a chaotic noise, dust rose and blood splattered. The cloud chariot, which was more than six feet high, smashed heavily on the ground, stirring up the blood in the moat in the lower part, and directly smashed the dozens of Liao soldiers who had no time to dodge on the ground in front of them into meat sauce.
During the tea time, outside the three city walls in the southwest and northwest, the twelve Yunxiao siege vehicles on the twelve moat embankment passages were all pulled and collapsed by the Jurchens.
