Chapter 727: The Last Dignity
The boulder fell from the sky and hit the city wall, the city bricks were shattered in an instant, the gravel that flew out was more fierce than the crossbow arrow, some people were directly killed by the boulder, and some people were pierced through the neck by the sharp gravel, but the siege team of the Rilang country did not come up for a long time, and the persistence of the Daning soldiers did not exchange for a fair battle, only the boulder fell endlessly.
The defenders on the walls were pinned down there, and the reservists watched as their brothers were devastated in the city but could not climb up to support, even if they could. It's just a list of the next batch of war dead.
And it was at this time that Ning Jun understood what the purpose of Emperor Rilang Guo was in building that palace.
Perhaps, this was not the original intention of the Emperor Vasily of the Rilang Kingdom, but was instigated by others, and Ning Ren did not know that the person who instigated him to build a palace and open the way to explain the Zen Sutra was Gallocleus.
At that time, he said to Vasily in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, we are not here to go to war, in order to show our sincerity that we have no intention of fighting, Your Majesty might as well build a palace, and then open it to the people of the Poor Country, and ask a respected monk to explain the Zen Method, so that it will win the trust of the Slender people." ”
Vasily was an unreliable person, he gladly accepted this proposal of Galokliu, before the construction of the palace, Galocleo kept sending people out to preach to the surrounding people, saying that His Majesty the emperor of the Rilang country would bring all the monks to teach the Fa, and even Ning Jun was deceived, but now? It was too late to wake up, and the huge stone that built the palace was prepared for the stone-throwing cart.
A large number of stones were turned into murder weapons.
The Daning soldiers who have never flinched in the face of the enemy on the battlefield have always defeated the enemy with a devastating momentum, but this time they have become powerless.
The boulder fell endlessly, but it could not break the fighting spirit of the Daning soldiers, it was the city wall that was defeated, finally, the city wall could not withstand the continuous blows, and part of it began to collapse, the broken city bricks and rammed earth rolled down like a mudslide, and a boulder smashed on the wall on the side of the gap, which accelerated the collapse speed of the city wall, and a large area of the city wall began to fall.
"Blow the horn."
Galok lowered his clairvoyance, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Again, with the tactics he invented, he had breached the enemy's city, and if he had been under his men not the Rilang but his resting warriors, the black banner would have been planted on the walls of that city.
As the horn sounded, the driven army of the Rilang Kingdom rushed towards the county seat of Suyu County like a tide, densely packed, looking down from a high place like an ant colony.
"Drumming!"
Cheng Fangchun, who got up from the ruins, shouted hoarsely, but the war drums were all smashed, he looked around, the ground was full of broken stones and mutilated corpses, the first batch of soldiers who climbed the city wall lost most of them, the war drums were broken, and the herald didn't know where he died, Cheng Fangchun shook his head vigorously, looking for the horn in the ruins, but where could he find it so easily.
The enemy outside the city was getting closer and closer, Cheng Fangchun stood up with the broken city wall, took a deep breath, raised his right hand holding the horizontal knife, and the blade of the knife struck on the breastplate.
Bang, bang, bang...... Not far away someone stood up and struck the cuirass with his sword, and one soldier after another rose from the rubble, they were disgraced, but they were not frightened, they were not embarrassed, and the sound of the breastplate was louder than it seemed to be the sound of war drums.
Hearing the muffled sound one by one, the reserves under the city began to rush frantically to the city wall, and the soldiers picked up the hard bows and feather arrows under the broken masonry under the corpses of their companions, the gap was very large, much larger than the width of the city gate, and the collapsed city wall formed a slope, and the Rilang people could directly rush to the city wall along the slope, so Cheng Fangchun stood here, and every general in Daning knew that the general armor on his body did not make them qualified to stand behind the soldiers to fight, but they must stand in front of the soldiers.
Wherever there is the most danger, there will be people in general armor.
The ballista that could still be used was turned by the soldiers and aimed at the outside of the city, and one by one heavy crossbows roared out, which was the dignity of the Daning soldiers.
Burst!
A soldier of the Japanese country was pierced through the chest by a heavy crossbow with a thick calf, he involuntarily fell backwards, and his companions behind were also pierced, and the heavy crossbow drew a line in the dense army, although it was not very long, but all the people on this line were pierced to death.
However, there are too few ballistae that can be used, a small county town, there are not many bed crossbows installed on the city wall, and after nearly two and a half hours of stone-throwing cart baptism, there are only three or four that can be used, and there are so many enemies outside the city wall, three or four ballista carts are not enough to form a deterrent.
"Arrows!"
Cheng Fangchun burst into tears.
All the archers and county soldiers of the Ning army who climbed the city wall began to release arrows, and the feather arrows thrown out fell from the sky, a soldier of the Rilang Kingdom subconsciously raised his head and looked up, a black dot gradually fell in his pupils and enlarged, when he reacted, it was too late, the black dot turned into a god of death in front of him, the feather arrow passed through his neck, the blood sprayed out from the back of his neck, the person fell backwards, and the soldiers who came up from behind had no time to avoid stepping on his face, one person stepped on, and the people behind stepped on it one after another, Soon the leather armor became empty, and the flesh and blood continued to flow out of the cracks in the leather armor, and the squeezed out of the flesh was disgusting to look at.
My feet became muddy, and I didn't know if it was blood that made the earth wet, or if it was flesh and blood that I was stepping on.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Daning soldiers, the arrow array began to exert its might, and the feather arrows thrown left gaps one by one in the army of the Rilang Kingdom in front of them, but there were too many people in the Rilang Kingdom, and these gaps were quickly filled by the people behind.
Human life is the least valuable thing in war, but worthlessness does not mean worthlessness.
"Flat shot!"
As Cheng Fangchun's order sounded, the archers began to change the projectile to a flat shot, the lethality of the feather arrows was more direct, the feather arrows thrown fell into the crowd like raindrops, and the flat feather arrows were like sickles, layer by layer to put the soldiers of the Rilang Kingdom in the front row.
The stone throwing cart was still throwing boulders, and the Daning soldiers were still blocking the approach of the Rilang people with their strong combat power under the threat of the boulders, and a boulder fell in the ranks of archers, at least six or seven people were knocked down, and those who fell down would never get up again.
"It's coming up!"
Cheng Fangchun aimed his bow and arrow at the Rilang people at the front: "Shoot!" Hold it down. ”
The locals were about to storm the walls, and the stone-throwing carts finally stopped.
Hundreds of archers aimed at the gap in the city wall at the same time, the feather arrows were dense like fists, where had the Rilang people who rushed up seen the war that killed so many people, and after throwing hundreds of corpses at the gap, they began to be agitated, and finally some people couldn't hold back the pressure and fear and began to run back, the people in front and the people who came up behind collided, and then the panic began to spread.
The armies of the Hiro Kingdom began to pour back, like the ebb tide of the sea.
"Overseer!"
Hader raised his scimitar and shouted, at the back of the line, two thousand archers of the country of Japan raised their bows, and the arrows were aimed at their comrades, and when the rear team began to run back, the feather arrows of the warlord team were released, and one by one the soldiers of the country were shot to death by their own people, but they quickly stabilized the retreating group.
As soon as Hader beckoned, he led more than a hundred Sabbatarians to kill them, and cut down the retreating soldiers of the Rilang Kingdom as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, in the eyes of those soldiers, they were the devil and beasts, fear once again made them change their choice, and the change of the sea from low tide to high tide did not take much time, and the soldiers of the Rilang Kingdom once again surged towards the gap in the city wall.
"Let the catapult adjust its range."
Galocle beckoned, and a group of sheep-like soldiers of the forbidden army of the Rilang Kingdom hurriedly lifted up the throne that originally belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, and Galocle sat there and pointed forward: "The range of the catapult is aimed at the back of the siege team, and it will be smashed through first." ”
There was a horn sound from the position of the stone-throwing car, and the soldiers began to adjust the arm range of the stone-throwing vehicle under the supervision of the resting people, and the huge stone-throwing vehicle was not very quick to adjust, and after half an hour, a round of dozens of boulders smashed behind the team, and the soldiers of the Rilang Kingdom who deliberately ran at the end were smashed over a lot, and a ghost cried wolf.
At this time, the siege team had no way to retreat, and these Japanese people, who did not even dare to see blood, were stimulated to the beastly nature hidden in human nature, and they rushed forward with red eyes shouting, just rushing forward, no longer caring whether there would be feathered arrows to ruthlessly take away their lives.
More and more corpses fell under the gap in the wall, and finally the ramp that had piled up on the fallen wall was covered, and after paying a heavy price, the people of Hiro finally rushed up.
"Shield!"
With a shout, dozens of giant shields poked side by side on the gap in the city wall, and the Daning soldiers behind pierced the spear from behind the giant shield, and then retracted it was the shortest reincarnation of human life, and the blood splashed out again and again in front of the giant shield, and the shield seemed to be washed away by the torrential rain, and the blood flowed down the shield, and the corpse below was dyed redder.
"Kill it!"
The Riro people, who had no way to retreat, could only settle the battle with this most barbaric and untechnical attack, and there were enough of them, and the people behind pushed the corpses in front and squeezed them forward, and the corpses fell, and the people behind turned into corpses, and then fell down again, and in this way, the shield array was squeezed away, and the Hirou people, wielding scimitars, rushed up the city wall.
"Die!"
Cheng Fangchun cut off the neck of the Rilang man in front of him with a knife, and the knife swept out and sent the head of an enemy behind him into the air, he no longer had time to care about other places, just slashed one by one, at this moment, no one could remember what the person who appeared in front of him looked like, the only thing he saw was blood.
"Pro-soldiers!"
Cheng Fangchun shouted hoarsely, no one around him responded, he stabbed the approaching enemy with a knife and looked around, his personal soldiers had all fallen beside him, the duties of the personal soldiers, the pride of the personal soldiers, did not allow them to die behind the main general.
Those familiar people, familiar faces, are right in front of you.
"Ahh
Cheng Fangchun roared angrily and jumped directly into the crowd of the Rilang people, the knives slashed one by one, and the enemies fell at his feet one by one.
"Save the General!"
Guoyi's general Deng Li rushed over with people, but failed to save Cheng Fangchun intact, they dragged back the mutilated person who only had one breath left, his right arm was gone from the shoulder down, and there was still half of the two legs, and there were so many blood holes on the lower abdomen that people didn't dare to look at it, and the gap on the shoulder was so big that it seemed that the upper body would be torn apart if he touched it.
The soldiers fought back for a while, and Deng Li still dragged Cheng Fangchun back.
With a snap, Cheng Fangchun's left hand grabbed Deng Li's hand: "Don't waste your strength, brother...... Ahem, the city is no longer important, take the brothers to walk decently, this is the dignity of our soldiers, I will go first, they will be handed over to you......"
