Chapter 315: The Whole Country Resists the Enemy (8)
In the southwest corner of the city of Duobang, the gray dust and mist are pervasive. In front of Liu Da, there was a row of pine resin fire lines, and the smoke and black smoke of the pine resin burning were swirling. He took his bow and arrows in his hand and stared in amazement at the firelight on the wall in front of him.
A raging fire broke out on a ladder, and those young and strong young people screamed loudly, turning into clumps of flames and falling down from above. The Annan army at the head of the city was still smashing the porcelain jar below, and the oil in the jar was poured out and immediately added to the fire.
The ladder on the front left is gone! Not far away, a military general pointed a knife at that side and shouted, "Fire!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom......" Liu Da was quickly shrouded in white smoke, and he coughed. At this time, the voice of Yin Desheng shouted to release the arrows again, and the row of soldiers where Liu Da was located hung down their bows and arrows one after another, and lit the tarpaulin wrapped around the arrow cluster on the pine resin fire line in front of them. The chords of "bang ......" sounded one after another, and rockets in the air flew towards the city like fireflies.
Liu Da looked at an enemy soldier holding a clay pot at the entrance of the battlement, and shot an arrow with a "bang". The rocket hit the crockpot, and the cluster of arrows shattered the crockpot, and the burning oilcloth ignited the oil that flowed out. Liu Da vaguely saw that the enemy soldier was burning all over, and stumbled and fell down to the city, and the screams were mixed with countless shouts, like a small pebble thrown into the sea, without any waves.
Liu Dagang pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and was still looking at the scene on the city, when he suddenly saw many enemy soldiers with firearms coming up. Liu Da hurriedly shouted: "Bow and arrow, hand back, shield up!" ”
When the soldiers in the front row heard the shouting, they took two steps back, allowing the spear and shield men behind them to step forward through the cracks. Fortunately, Liu shouted early, and sure enough, a row of firearms flashed densely. Liu Da shrunk his neck, and heard the wide-brimmed iron hats on the heads of several juniors next to him, which were hit by the cluster of fire arrows.
"Ahh A loud shout came, and the big shield in the hand of a Ming sergeant fell, and the man covered his face with his hands, and kept shouting.
A ladder truck slowly pushed up from behind and was passing by Liu Da. Because there was a ladder that was getting bigger and bigger, and it couldn't be extinguished at all, and no one continued to climb up, and a new ladder was needed there.
Under the ladder where the fire was burning, the soldiers of the Ming army turned around and ran to the slope of the fortification, and many soldiers were climbing up the city wall with their shields. The entire wall was filled with smoke, and arrows flew in all directions like locusts.
The situation on the soil was even worse, and the two sides were stabbing each other with long spears across a wall battlement. The arrows and javelins in the air were very dense, and the shouts and screams had already resounded through the heavens and the earth. Under the corners of the walls on both sides of the earth, the corpses have piled up!
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear army, and Liu Da heard someone shouting: "The right deputy general Zhang Dashuai is here!" ”
Liu Daxun looked around, and sure enough, he saw a team of elite horsemen running behind, and a banner with the word "Zhang" written on it was hunting and flying in the wind. The general, dressed in a blood-red cloak, shouted every time he came to a phalanx: "This is the city that the thief holds!" The capture of the city of Duobang is a great achievement. The husband should serve the country with his body and make contributions in this move! Whoever ascends to the city first, I Zhang Fu will not be rewarded. ”
Yin Desheng, a young hundred households nearby, saw that the general of the Chinese army was on the battlefield in person, so he excitedly waved his knife and shouted: "The husband has made great contributions!" ”
"Meritorious service...... all the troops shouted loudly.
The generous shouts soon subsided as the big man rode away, and the screams, groans, and cries from the air once again enveloped the city.
The sun gradually rose overhead, but the smoke was thick and the shadow of the sun was dim, as if it were in the clouds.
At this time, General Huang Zhong and his party rode to the front of the military formation, and Yin Desheng of Baihu immediately stepped forward to meet him.
Huang Zhongdao: "Do you see the barrier in front of you?" Li Baihu's men and horses were killed and wounded, and he himself was dead, and they could no longer continue to attack the city. Yin Baihu, you must attack the city wall! ”
Yin Desheng hugged his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
The horn behind the "Woo ......" sounded for a long time, and as soon as the drum was beaten, Yin Desheng pulled out his saber and shouted: "Go forward in turn!" ”
Liu Da clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, followed behind the spear and shield soldiers, and followed with the remaining eight or nine juniors under his command, and everyone quickly jumped over the line of fire burning pine resin in front.
There was a "whoosh" sound in the smoke, and the black shadows of arrows constantly broke through the air from the fog. From time to time, someone shouted and fell to the ground, and no one in the 100 households paid attention to the wounded, they had to rush up to the wall, and the wounded soldiers could only be left behind the brothers to help.
Liu Da turned his head and said to the juniors under him: "When you go up, people are crowded, don't worry about running, and look ahead with a clever brain." Don't rush to release arrows, don't run out of strength. ”
Everyone answered a few times one after another.
"Kill!" Yin Baihu shouted, the military flag waved, and the spear and shield soldiers in front of him took the lead in rushing towards the side of the base. Liu Da and the others also ran forward.
When the people went up the slope, Yin Baihu's face turned a lot whiter, and he didn't seem to be as impassioned as before. There is no soil to be seen on the slope, it is all dead people! People had to climb up the pile of dead people with their hands and feet.
Liu Da turned his head and glanced at the bottom of the dirt slope, the corners of the city wall were like tens of thousands of people and mass graves! The corpses below are already piled up, the Ming army, the Annan army, people wearing all kinds of hats, and those who are not dead, stretching out a hand and moving, it is as terrible as the underworld.
"Ah......h Suddenly, many sharpened bamboos flew out of a bed and crossbow, and stabbed out against the faces of the soldiers in front of them. One of the soldiers had been pierced through the chest, and the man was not dead, but was stuck there spitting blood and struggling desperately.
Liu Da looked up and saw that many enemy soldiers were walking to the battlement with firearms. He stretched out his bow and arrows, but saw a cart with a barrel pushed against the wall, and white smoke was still rising from the barrel. Liu Da looked at the enemy soldiers standing next to the barrel and shot an arrow out with a "bang".
A moment later, there was a shout from the city, and the enemy soldier who had been hit by the arrow accidentally overturned the barrel. The hot, foul-smelling dung and gold juice spilled on several Annan soldiers, and in the steaming white, those Annan soldiers struggled and fluttered behind the wall like fish on the shore.
"Ahh A Ming soldier rolled from the top of the wall to the slope, several men held him down, and saw that his right hand had been cut off, and blood was still flowing in the white bones and flesh, and the soldier was splashed with blood all over his body, and his left hand grabbed his right arm, only shouting.
At this time, Liu Da was hit on the left, and he hurriedly supported the soldier who hit him, and saw that the young man had his mouth wide open, and he was vomiting blood together. Liu Da stretched out his hand and touched it, only to find that an arrow launched by a fire bolt had been pierced into the neck of the descendant. He pushed away the afterlife and let the afterlife wait for his own death, because he couldn't be saved.
Liu Da made a painful sound from his mouth, and he inhaled with a sad face. He has fought many battles in Yunnan, but he has never seen a scene like today.
