I saw that after the Hui people were divided into three teams this time, they immediately spread out in all directions, and in this way, they became even more scattered, and the Fu Yuan crossbow, which was already not well aligned, could no longer grasp the weakness of its dense forces as before, and inflicted heavy damage on it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, after the second round of heavy crossbows were fired, although there were also some Hui cavalry who poured blood mold and crashed into the heavy crossbow and sent them to death, in essence, they could no longer cause any damage to them.

"What a cunning fang!" Gao Biao couldn't help but curse angrily, it was obvious that this new Hui general was far more difficult to deal with than the one who was killed by Gu Duoda.

Moreover, it seems that he has a good understanding of the Tang Army's combat strategies and weapons, so that he can take advantage of the weakness of the Fuyuan crossbow to accurately avoid this risk.

Seeing that the Fu Yuan crossbow was useless, and at this time, the Hui cavalry of the rear team also came immediately, but the third round of shooting of the Fu Yuan crossbow could no longer threaten the Hui cavalry this time.

Because this time the Hui cavalry became more scattered among themselves, they could only rely on the horn bows in the hands of the soldiers at the head of the city to shoot at a single aim, and in this way, the injuries were bound to be limited, and the cavalry mobility was extremely fast, but the rain of arrows that returned to the Hui cavalry counterattack after a round of shooting had already hit.

And although the low and dilapidated city wall has been repaired by the people of Jingcheng overnight, what can be done in one night? It's just that it's only a foot higher, and this height still can't resist the arrows of the Hui people.

At this moment, under the cover of the rain of arrows, the infantry of the left and right armies of the Hui immediately rushed to attack, and what made Gao Biao feel frightened was the nearly 100 flying ladders (similar to the hook ladder a light tool for climbing the city...... Don't know the hook ladder? It's a ladder with a hook! ）。

At this moment, a wry smile appeared on Gao Yu's face, the low city wall of Jingcheng City does not use heavy but effective climbing tools such as rushing cars and ladders, and a simple light ladder made of bamboo and wood is enough to easily climb the city wall of this height, and this is no different from heaven for the Hui people who do not have ladder equipment.

"Prepare the oil!" Gao Yu stared at the continuous rain of arrows from the Hui people and shouted loudly.

"It's a battering ram!"

Gao Yu's voice fell, and he only heard a few county soldiers exclaim again and again, only the remaining more than 100 Shence soldiers still stuck to their posts, staring coldly at the Hui people under the city, their faces were as cold as ice, and they were as quiet as a virgin.

The head of the city is high, and the defense of the city and the city gate is in charge of Zheng Jin, I saw Zheng Jin's face unmoved, looked up at the sky, and then shouted: "Prepare the knife car!" ”

After the little tilt, I saw dozens of sturdy men pushing two two-wheeled wooden carts slowly, each car is up to two zhang wide, divided into three layers, made of hard birch wood, the front end of each layer stretches out dozens of sharp knife tips, when the city gate is breached, this knife car is used as the last line of defense of the city gate.

And because the knife cart is extremely heavy, and the front end is protected by the tip of the knife, so it is difficult for the enemy to break through for a while.

And Gu Duoda and Gao Biao were very dismissive of Zheng Jin's suggestion at the beginning, because from their experience, the Hui people did not have threatening siege equipment at all, and it was not until this time that the Hui people showed up the battering ram, Gao Biao couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat in his heart.

At the same time, he also has more admiration and respect for Zheng Jin, a seemingly weak scholar.

At this time, the three teams of Hui cavalry took turns, and after the front team shot a round of arrow rain, they quickly retreated by relying on the mobility of the cavalry, and then the squadron came, and when the round of arrow rain was completed, the front team that had been prepared had already rushed up again.

In this way, it directly led to the defenders of the city head could not organize an effective counteroffensive at all, the rain of arrows seemed to never stop roaring up from the city, and then fell from the top of the defenders' heads, although the strength of the fall was much smaller, but the head is also the most vulnerable and fatal place of people, even if it could not immediately cause bleeding damage, or even death, but for the defenders, it was like their head being continuously beaten by a heavy object falling from the sky, and anyone who could not hold out for long would be injured and die of brain trauma.

At this time, Zheng Zheng under the city is much more relaxed, the knife car has been prepared, and he only needs to hold the city gate to sit back and relax.

Gu Duoda can almost be said to know nothing about this kind of defense tactics, and this time he had to grab a huge wooden shield with each hand to defend the city to resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

In the hall of the county government, Li Zhen wrapped himself in a heavy fur robe and took the last sip of bitter decoction, although he looked a little more energetic, his face was still extremely pale.

Zhao Wan looked at Li Zhen distressedly, letting the noise outside, letting the wind and rain blow outside, everything had nothing to do with her.

Li Zhen's eyes were bloodshot, and he had become exhausted at this time after being seriously injured and having been sleepless for three days in a row, but even so, Li Zhen still forced himself to cheer up and try to look better than yesterday.

But the more Li Zhen is like this, the more Zhao Wan's heart hurts, the heart-rending pain, and the pain of liver and intestines.

In just three days, Li Zhen was only sixteen years old and gave birth to a few gray hairs, although Zhao Wan secretly pulled out these white hairs when she tied Li Zhen's hair, but she still couldn't hide Li Zhen's eyes, looking at the heartbreak that flashed on Zhao Wan's face in the bronze mirror, Li Zhen was speechless.

Now he has become no longer himself, although he is reluctant to bear the burden of the family and the country, but this is not what he wants, the family and the country are four words, only the family is important to him, but as the eldest son of the emperor, his home is equivalent to the country. is equivalent to the world, no matter what, you can't escape or break free.

Unless you can be ruthless and willing to give up this family, you can give up your emperor father, but can you really give it up?

Can't give up!

"Sounds terrible out there!" Li Zhen muttered to himself, but Yan Heng, who had been by Li Zhen's side, grinned when he heard this, and said: "Qianli and Taiwen know how to defend the city better than you, you just have a good rest here!" ”

Outside the lobby were the five Shence veterans, according to Yan Heng's orders, except for the county order, the county Cheng and the county Wei of Jingcheng County, no one was allowed to break in, after all, in this chaotic time, no one could guarantee that there would be any spies from the Hui people to break in, so we must make every effort to ensure Li Zhen's safety.

"Yan Heng, come out with me and have a look! I always feel like something is going to happen! Li Zhen slowly stood up and said uneasily. (To be continued.) )
