Chapter 167: Hold on

The sky has been brightened, the clouds are light and the wind is light,

The thieves in the camp stepped out of the camp with a light drumbeat, and slowly gathered into one phalanx after another.

After all the phalanx was assembled, the thieves on the two wings of the phalanx spread out to both sides, and the thieves besieging the city gradually connected into a headless and tailless ring, the ring was so thick that it was impossible to see where the end of the thieves was, and from the city wall, it was a flood, that was the ocean, and it would rush to Xiangcheng at any time.

However, Lan Ziyi no longer has the fear of defending the city for the first time the day before yesterday, after yesterday's battle, he has adapted to the rhythm of the city defense battle, the besieging side must have an absolute advantage to dare to attack the city, and there is nothing to be surprised to see the crowd of people.

Under the feet is the city wall, behind the people are the people, there is no way to retreat, only a decisive battle can survive, this side is the battle to defend the city.

The main force of the thieves besieging the city has lined up, among which there are countless armorers, and the polished armor pieces shine brightly in the sun, and the bright light fluctuates rhythmically with the advance of the thieves, like the waves of sleep.

The thieves walked to the periphery of the city's attack range and stopped, and the warriors in front of them moved, opening the exit in front of the formation.

Under the beckoning of the colorful gods and goddesses painted behind the thief array, the thieves and the people who poured out like ants flocked to the city wall like a tide.

Ignoring the corpses and the red solidified in the mud outside the city, they rushed to the city wall shouting the slogan of thieves, even if the bowstring of the city shook the air and the arrows rained down, they did not hesitate to throw the earth on their backs at the foot of the city wall.

Just like yesterday's siege of the city, these people did not take their lives seriously, and once they were shot, they used their corpses as the cornerstone of the city.

Under this kind of desperate offensive, the already low city walls of Xiangcheng were leveled by the thieves' dirt bags and corpses at a very fast speed.

Lan Ziyi on the city wall exclaimed when he saw this:

"Oh no, the thieves are not going to pile up dirt hills but dirt slopes, they are going to pile up the city walls!"

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he suddenly realized, leaned on the female wall and looked at the city, and shouted:

"Alas! Miscalculated! ”

Then he shouted loudly, and ordered the defenders of the city to say:

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot your arrows with all your might! Don't keep your hands on it anymore! ”

The defenders of the city also understood the urgency of the matter, and no longer spared their hands on the charging people, and everyone picked up their bows and arrows and began to release arrows into the city.

But even if the current rain of arrows is several times denser than just now, it can't stop the thieves and the people who are more than arrows, they are almost endless, and their soil bags are piled up layer after layer under the city wall, and they accumulate into a slope of earth from the bottom to the top.

The raised mound gradually approached the top of the city wall, and as far as the eye could see, the entire western city wall was full of mounds, and countless passages were built with white bones, leading to the city wall that Lan Ziyi held onto.

The city wall has lost its effect, and now all Lan Ziyi can rely on is a wooden fence in front of him.

Gao Yanzong watched the mound be built, and the thieves who formed a circle outside the city walked firmly towards the city wall, shouting for someone to take the knife, and Lan Ziyi was persuaded by the Tao Zhutu who rushed over to leave the edge of the city wall slightly.

The phalanx of thieves still came to the foot of the city wall with a big shield as they did yesterday, ignoring the bows and arrows on the city wall and the attacks of the stone throwers in the city.

Then the thieves and archers returned fire on the city wall, and the thieves' "Heavenly Remnant Star" climbed the city wall by stepping on the paved earth slope.

The earth slope that was piled up in a short time was wide and narrow at the top, and it was cone-shaped, and the position on the top of the city could only accommodate three people to climb, but this was much more than the number of people who came to climb the ladder, and they were not afraid of being burned.

The rest of the thieves who couldn't get up to the city wall for the time being used rope flying claws to put on the city wall, and climbed the rope ants as they did the day before, and for a while, the city wall was full of thieves flying claw ropes, as well as the first dead soldiers who stepped on the dirt slope to climb up.

The wooden fence erected on the city wall last night was originally erected to counteract the imaginary suppression of the bow and arrow of the thief Koutu Mountain, but now it has become the last reliance of the soldiers defending the city.

When the thieves climbed the wall, they had to climb over the wooden fence first, so that they could not attack, and they exposed their entire front to the defenders.

The soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to use long soldiers to stab the thieves one by one into the city.

Here Tao Zhutu held a bow and a knife in front of Lan Ziyi, and saw a person climbing the fence, holding the bow is an arrow, right in the left eye of the thief,

The thieves covered their eyes and screamed and fell backwards, rolling down the dirt slope, knocking over a group of thieves along the way, and the thieves who did not fall quickly filled the gap, holding a short knife and howling to climb up the wooden fence.

The thief was about to climb the wooden fence, and a soldier squatting behind the female wall saw the opportunity, picked up his spear and turned around and poked into the right side of the lower abdomen of the thief's thin armor, and the warrior's wrist twisted, and he pulled back, and the thief's stomach was opened, and the internal organs mixed with the spear head were pulled out, and the thief fell down the city wall screaming with blood.

At this time, Lan Ziyi shouted from behind:

"Use the Pear Blossom Gun!"

Several soldiers on the side of the city wall obeyed the order to pick up the pear flower gun, stretched out the city head along the gap in the fence, first stabbed the head thief with the head of the gun, and then ignited the gunpowder on the gun, and the brilliant and deadly sparks burst out from the wall, and the face, hands, and arms of the thieves close to the muzzle of the guns were all scorched, screaming and rolling down the dirt slope, and the thieves in the back were sprayed in the sparks and couldn't open their eyes, and the thieves in front of them had no time to hide and nowhere to hide, and they were all knocked down the hillside.

But the thief's attack was still the same, and the fallen man stood up and rushed to the wooden fence on the city wall again, and a thief dared to fight, and suddenly accelerated and jumped on the dirt slope, climbed the wooden fence, and the next step was to climb the city wall.

The soldier under the wooden fence was quick with his eyes and hands, and he drew his knife to cut off the thief's wrist, and the thief's center of gravity was unstable when he cut off his wrist, and when he fell, his whole body was nailed through the tip of the wooden fence, and he couldn't escape, and he couldn't die immediately, he could only vomit blood one by one, and the screams of pain could be heard throughout the city wall.

Lan Ziyi stood on the city wall with his sword and looked around at the battle situation, and when the thieves just started to pile up the dirt slope, Lan Ziyi was really startled.

But after the fight, Lan Ziyi found that although the soil slope provided a way for the thieves to attack the city, the width was limited after all, and there were only a few thieves who could climb the city.

Looking at the soldiers who were defending in an orderly manner all over the city wall, Lan Ziyi put on a smile of relief, no problem, if you can hold it, how many thieves will defend it like this,

Nearby, Gao Yanzong put the Guan Wang knife aside, and poked it when he saw the thief coming up with a long lance, and at this time, Gao Yanzong also swept away the gloomy face just now, laughed excitedly outside the city, and said:

"Come, thief! Come as many as you want, hahahaha! ”

Although the thieves attacked bravely, few of them climbed the wall.

After attacking for a while, the sound of gold finally came from the rear of the thief array, and countless corpses of the siege thieves retreated like a low tide.

Lan Ziyi smiled and watched the thieves retreat, thinking that the thieves were busy again today, and it would take a lot of effort to bulldoze these dirt slopes after the thieves retreated.

But what Lan Ziyi didn't expect was that the thieves did not fully retreat as he did, those soldiers who ascended first just retreated into the formation, and the thieves' line was still at the foot of the city wall, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Seeing this, the defenders of the city continued to fire back with arrows, but everyone couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the thief's gourd and what he wanted to do next.

Gao Yanzong ignored the rain of thieves and arrows, looked down at the city, and then asked Lan Ziyi loudly:

"Wei Hou! What is this going to do? ”

Lan Ziyi didn't know the thief's intentions, but he still had to open his mouth to reply, but before he could speak, the thief had already answered Gao Yanzong's question,

Seeing that the thieves and archers under the city stopped shooting, prepared to replace the rockets in a moment, and drew their bows to the city.

The rain of arrows that the thieves fired back was no different from the attack just now, and the defenders easily defended down, but the target of the thieves was obviously not the defenders, but the wooden fence on the city wall.

Seeing this, Gao Yanzong hurriedly ordered:

"Extinguish the fire!"

The soldiers who defended the city obeyed the order and hurried to extinguish the fire with water,

Gao Yanzong is well prepared, the water source on the city wall is sufficient, and the city is still transporting materials in a steady stream.

However, the fire arrows used by the thieves were all filled with fire oil, which was difficult to extinguish with water, and some soldiers reached out to pull out their arrows, but were shot by the thieves in the city in the wrists and arms.

It's not the worst, the worse is yet to come,

After the thieves let go of the fire arrows, they did not charge as before, but walked out of the bandit array with many heavily armored soldiers, each corresponding to a dirt slope, and began to ascend the city.

These armorers were burly in their bodies, armed with a giant axe as tall as one man, and their whole bodies were tightly wrapped in heavy armor from head to toe, and the heavy armor of the forbidden infantry was worn inside, and other fragments of armor were draped on the outside of the heavy armor, and the long and heavy armor was dragged on the ground, and no part of the whole body was exposed, even the face was covered with iron.

Although these people were slow, they stepped firmly on the dirt slope and walked towards the city wall under the cover of the thief archers.

Lan Ziyi was shocked when he saw this, and shouted:

"This thief warrior is here to cut my wooden fence!"

Of course, the defenders of the city knew that they could not let this tower-like person approach, and all the bows and arrows were hit and released towards the thieves and heavy armored warriors who rushed up.

But the arrows could only knock and listen to the sound in front of the armor soldier who didn't know how many layers he had wrapped, and he couldn't hurt the armor soldier at all, and even his speed couldn't be reduced.

Peach Rabbit also aimed at the nearest armor soldier and fired arrows continuously, first shooting in the eye, and then shooting in the throat, but they were all blocked by the armor.

Seeing that the thieves were about to approach the wooden fence, Lan Ziyi had a flash of inspiration and shouted:

"Use the oil quickly!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward and picked up a bottle of oil and threw it on the thief, and the other defenders also picked up the bottle of oil and threw it at the thief, dousing the thief's whole body with oil.

Then the peach deer replaced the rocket, and a shot hit the skirt of the thief's heavy armor,

With the help of the fire oil, the fiery snake spread from the bottom to the top of the armor's body, and in the blink of an eye, the thief and the armorer turned into a meat filling wrapped in flames.

The armor soldier was eroded by the fire, and he tore through his throat and screamed in pain, but he did not flinch, but accelerated his charge, swinging his axe horizontally,

Seeing this, Peach Chase Rabbit shouted:

"Young Master, be careful!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and knocked Lan Ziyi down, and the blade of the giant axe on the top slashed against the two of them, cutting off the wooden fence together, and the few defenders who reacted slowly next to him were all opened by this giant axe.

Peach Rabbit rolled over and lay on the ground, saw the gap in his armor through the flames, and shot an arrow, sealing the thief's throat as the giant axe was lifted into the air.

Then the thief stopped his movements, and fell to his knees on the wall.

But the wooden fence has been cut, and not only here, but also everywhere on the city wall has been taken by thieves and thieves, and the thieves under the city are shouting and rushing up the wall.

Lan Ziyi got up and retreated under the cover of Tao Zhutu, with only one thought in his heart

"Oops!"
