Chapter 90: The Bloody War (1)
As the banner of Shinbun Lai changed, several large ladder trucks began to slowly advance towards the city.
The ladder cart is also called a siege tower, with wheels at the bottom, and the outside is covered with thick cowhide, which cannot be pierced by ordinary swords. There are stairs inside the ladder truck, which leads to the top platform. The ladder cart is as high as the city wall, as long as the Sui army pushes the ladder cart to the city wall and lowers the stairs on the platform, the Sui soldiers inside can rush to the city wall of Pingnan Prefecture. This kind of weapon, in the era of cold weapons, is indeed a siege weapon.
Those simple ladders are actually not very threatening, and it is these large ladder trucks that can really threaten the city.
"Rocket!" Xia Xue roared angrily.
The archers of the Angel Army rushed forward one after another, and the fire arrows were released quickly.
At this distance, only a few rockets can reach the ladder truck, not to mention that the outside of the ladder truck will be coated with fireproof plaster, unless it is burned by a large fire, it is difficult to ignite it. The rockets just burned the sparkling sparks, and then they dissipated again.
The ladders had already been erected on the city at this time, and if you looked at it from a distance, the Sui soldiers who climbed the ladders were like black lines that spread all the way to the city.
The angel soldiers kept lifting the stones and throwing them down from the battlements, and the gold juice and hot oil sent from the city also poured one after another, and the screams of the Sui soldiers under the city could be heard continuously. In front of the oncoming gold juice and hot oil, you can only hold your head and run around with three heads and six arms.
The giant tree that crashed into the city also slowly pushed up with the ladder cart, and the crossbowmen desperately released arrows to suppress the city.
Four large ladder trucks came out of the crowd.
Xin Wenli was really a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui army led by him cooperated tacitly, was disciplined, had a tenacious will to fight, and had extraordinary combat effectiveness. If it had been left to the general garrison, it would have collapsed long ago.
Xia Xue also personally experienced the fierceness of the ancients' siege of the city and the strength of the regular army today.
Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a little numb on her scalp.
The large ladder truck is a siege weapon, and Xia Xue has to be careful.
The fierce fire bolts of the Angel Army did set the ladder cart on fire, but the behemoth still climbed the gentle slope outside the city against the countless arrows. And as the ladder car finally slammed against the city wall, a cheer erupted among the Sui army.
Immediately, there were Sui soldiers who were waiting for the battle roaring angrily and rushed straight to the city wall along the ladder cart, and at the same time, more ladders were put up on the city head in the shouting, and the Sui soldiers who climbed densely were like ant nests. They climbed like ants to the city. Like ants, they put the danger above their heads out of the way. The cry from their mouths is majestic and desolate, like autumn crickets, emitting the loudest and most magnificent notes of life.
There is no so-called temptation, as soon as Xin Wenli makes a move, the whole army presses it.
This is the craziest gamble, once this attack is repulsed, then the Sui army will definitely suffer heavy losses, but if the city wall is attacked, the entire Pingnan Prefecture City will also be broken in one battle.
"Xin Wenli is not a famous general of the Great Sui, and he really deserves his reputation!" Looking at Xin Wenli, whose combat effectiveness was extraordinary, Xia Xue couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in her heart, and at the same time felt a huge pressure.
The sun in the west couldn't stand the bloody smell on the battlefield, and sank little by little. The wind blew the blood mist into the sky, and dyed the clouds crimson. The sunset will continue to expand the red world, dyeing the mountains and rivers in the distance, dyeing the rushing Minjiang River red, and dyeing the blood light above and below the city wall. On the city, red by blood and sunset, the number of corpses is still increasing. The soldiers on both sides were so stumbling over the corpses that they couldn't take a step, but they stepped on their robes or the remains of the enemy, waded through blood, and used their lives to create more obstacles for each other. No one can lose, and there is no tomorrow for the losing side.
As the sky got late, countless torches had been lit in the Sui army camp, and half of the sky was lit red, and it seemed that they would never stop until they captured Pingnan Prefecture.
With the help of large siege equipment such as ladder trucks, the Sui army has already captured the city, and the two armies have launched a bloody battle on the city wall.
The battle situation was in crisis, Xia Xue clenched her silver teeth, pulled out her Tang knife and rushed forward. Seeing that the beautiful queen rushed forward regardless of her personal safety, the angel army in the entire Pingnan Prefecture went crazy, their blood was boiling, and they all drew their swords and roared and rushed forward.
"Kill ——!" Ouyang Yong let out a roar, he was originally tall and strong, and he was even more domineering in fighting, and the tiger and tiger dancing with an iron rod smashed several Sui army elites to the head in a row.
Black-clothed guards kept passing by Xia Xue. Roaring angrily, he rushed into the city ahead.
Pan Jiang was covered in blood, split several Sui soldiers in a row, got out of the pile of dead bodies, kicked a Sui soldier off the city, looked at Ouyang Yong, who was also covered in blood, grinned, turned around and threw himself into the nearest enemy group.
Ouyang Yong grabbed the end of the iron bar, his shoulder and arm were forced, the iron rod was raised again, and it was smashing on the chin of a Sui soldier who was wielding a knife and wanted to slash Pan Jiang, the sound of bone cracking was still clearly heard on the head of the city that shouted to kill the heavens, the soldier's teeth flew out of his mouth with blood stains, and his jaw was slapped into it by more than an inch, and he didn't even have time to scream before he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Kill! - "Ouyang Yong's iron rod danced in his hand, still rushing forward.
Xia Xue snorted, and the Tang knife in her hand also rushed straight up, swish, as fast as lightning, and the three swords slashed the three elites of the Sui army who rushed up under the knife.
"Angel Army warriors, kill!" Xia Xue raised her hand and pierced the throat of an elite Sui army in front of her with another knife, the knife technique was tricky, ruthless, and accurate!
The black-clothed guards and the blood-soaked soldiers erupted in cheers. Xia Xue's Tang knife pulled out countless knife flowers, and between breaths, several Sui soldiers who were blocking the road in front of him hated the knife.
