Volume 2 The Heroes Rise Together Chapter 140 The Bloody Battle of Puyang (3)
The sky is thousands of miles, and the sun is turning west.
Before you know it, this terrible war has been going on for several hours.
Da Qiao was already hoarse and silent, and at this time, he was commanding the thousands of people who had been arranged there under the city to carry the wounded soldiers down the city under the rain of arrows.
Sun Erniang was distressed when she saw her haggard appearance, where was she willing to let Da Qiao command to work again, and dragged Da Qiao's white little hand to ask Da Qiao to enter the corner tower of the city to rest.
Da Qiao broke free and said, "The soldiers are all in a bloody battle, how can I enter the city tower?" For the generals, take the lead! ”
Sun Erniang couldn't, so she had to stand at the head of the city with her.
At this time, a member of the party was eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, full of beard, and a general covered in a shield to protect himself, while running to Da Qiao's side, he didn't care about holding his fists and saluting, and roared: "General Qiao, the moat has been filled, and the enemy army will take the city immediately." "The general is the general Xuankuan under Da Qiao.
"General Xuan, prepare for rolling wood, prepare for hot oil, and prepare for fork rods against wood...... Let them siege the city, let them taste the might. Da Qiao's silver teeth were clenched, and the jade face was sinister, and he said coldly.
"Yes!" Xuan Kuan responded loudly, turned around, and shouted all the way: "The thieves will take the city immediately!" …… Prepare the stone rolling timber, prepare the gold juice hot oil, and prepare the fork bar against the wood...... Look good for the thieves. ”
……
Under the city of Puyang.
"Siege ...... Kill ......"
The roar of the heavens and the earth rang out like a tsunami. After a hard day's work, with thousands of lives lost, the moat was finally filled and they were finally able to face the walls. The boundless Yanzhou foot soldiers were in groups of more than a dozen people, carrying a ladder on their shoulders, holding a shield in their left hand and a sharp blade in their right hand, their faces were full of excitement and hideous faces, and they crashed towards the city wall like the tide hitting the shore.
Dozens of people worked together to hold high the heavy and tall ladder, and as soon as it was erected, the soldiers immediately held up the regimental sign to protect the façade and climbed up desperately.
"The one who ascends Puyang City first will be the first meritorious, rewarded with a thousand gold, and crowned the general! ...... "Under the city, several infantry horses brandished swords and guns, loudly incitement and encouragement.
The soldiers have climbed up more energetically, and their achievements are today, and their promotion and fortune only depend on today.
"Defend Puyang...... Defending Puyang ......" The head of the city suddenly erupted into a tsunami-like roar, and countless stones and rolling logs smashed down like hailstones.
A Yanzhou soldier has long hands and long feet, when he first climbed to the city on the ladder, only to reach the air, "bang", a boulder has smashed on his skull, the head is immediately like a watermelon bursting, red and white splashed, hummed without snorting and fell off the ladder, and smashed several Yanzhou soldiers on the ground wailed.
The former guards did not smash stones and rolling wood under the city, because there was a moat across it, and the moat was several zhang wide, and it was useless to smash the other party at all. What's more, if you throw stones and logs down, you will fall into the moat, and you will help the enemy army fill the river in vain, and you will do this for fools. Now that the moat has been filled, the enemy has rushed to the corner of the wall, climbing the ladder and climbing up, and it is time for the stone to roll the wood.
In an instant, the rocks and logs fell down like rain, and the Yanzhou soldiers were also smashed and fell down from the ladder like dumplings, their brains were shattered, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they wailed all over the field, screaming and screaming to the sky.
Not only the stone rolling wood, but also the gold juice hot oil. Hot oil is still too expensive, Puyang doesn't have much armament, and he is reluctant to use it at all. But the golden juice is enough, and the effect is no worse than that of hot oil. What is gold juice is actually the feces and urine of humans and animals. Boil the feces and urine of people and animals in a cauldron, and the enemy will attack the city, and splash the gold juice on the head, which is very effective. One burns the enemy, the other is filthy feces and urine, there are bacteria in it, and if it is hot, it will fester, and if it is ulcerated, it will be infected.
Every dozens of zhang, there is a bronze cauldron or a large iron pot at the head of Puyang City, the dry wood is blazing below, and the pot is "poof" tumbling with the things of the reincarnation of grains, and the stench is endless. Next to each cauldron, several Puyang soldiers endured the stench, grinned and scooped up a scoop of boiling and boiling gold juice and poured it down the city.
"Ahh …… Ah......h
The terrible screams soared into the sky, sharp and piercing, and extremely terrible. The Yanzhou soldiers were splashed with gold juice on their heads in mid-air, and they all fell into the city screaming, breaking their heads and bleeding, and breaking their hands and feet. Theoretically, the stone rolling wood can also be blocked by the strength of the shield, how to resist this hot gold juice? Splashing on the shield also splashed back, splashing on the body and face, no different from splashing directly on the body. As long as it is stained with a drop of hot feces, the skin will blister and fester, and if you are burned extensively, you can only wait for death in pain.
Not to mention, the city also arranged countless soldiers in a group of several people to hold the fork pole against the wood. This fork pole against the wood is some thick bamboo logs, several zhang long. The soldiers held the fork pole against the wood together, shouting "hey, hey, hey", and the ladder firmly held at the head of the city struggled to hit it in the opposite direction. The ladder is heavy, the oblique angle is propped up, there are sharp blades or barbs hooking the city wall above, there are countless soldiers pressing the foot of the ladder below, and the siege soldiers are densely climbing in the middle, and there is really no way to pick it apart without the help of the fork pole against the wood.
One after another squeaked and struggled a few times, reluctantly left the city, and fell backwards, first slowly, as the angle exceeded the right angle, under the action of gravity, the soldiers below could not support it at all, and the speed of the fall became faster and faster. The Yanzhou soldiers on the top of the ladder couldn't catch the "plop, plop" and fell from the air in a row, and then the entire ladder collapsed to the ground, smashing the heads of the soldiers below to break blood, break their hands and feet, and kill and injure countless people.
Attacking the city like this, defending the city like this, in a short time, there were corpses all over the ground under the Puyang city wall, and the corpses were piled up more than one person high; Rivers of blood flowed, and the blood had stained the land and walls a dark red. There were also countless wounded people rolling on the ground, wailing and screaming, crawling and groaning. There are those who have broken legs and feet, holding on tightly to their severed limbs, and wailing for help at the robe: "Help me, save my ......"; Some of them were burned by the gold juice and festered all over, and they couldn't die for a while, they were still rolling, and their hands were scratching the ulcers desperately, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and they had seen the white bones, and they were still scratching desperately, and they howled bitterly: "Ah...... Kill me, kill me......".
Where do the remaining Puyang soldiers have the courage to climb up again? Even though the leader of the army was loudly inciting and encouraging, and even though the team was constantly scolding and slashing with their swords, the soldiers were still in a state of despair and slid down the ladder, discarded the swords and shields, and ran back with their heads in their hands, and the whole army retreated like a low tide.
