Chapter 42: Ten Thousand Enemies

、、、、、、、

(It's a dark dream, it's really strange, the comment area is silent today, and the silence makes me creepy!) )

This cavalry-to-cavalry battle came to an end, the officers and soldiers were beaten back to the city in embarrassment, and threw forty or fifty people outside the city, and the losses almost reached more than thirty percent. ()

Along the way, they cut off the heads of the slain officers and soldiers one by one and brought them back to the front of the army in the south of the city.

Yang Yulin stood on the city to take in this scene, his nose was almost crooked, and he wanted to send cavalry to fight the thief army by surprise, but not only did he not succeed, but he gave dozens of heads to the thief army, which was really unacceptable to him, so he roared angrily and urged his defenders to fight more violently towards the city.

A group of rebels gathered at the foot of the city wall with shields, and erected a long ladder with great effort, while the city kept throwing rolling wooden stones to the city, constantly smashing some long ladders down, and caused a lot of casualties to the righteous soldiers, but even so, the inspired rebels still rushed forward without fear of death, especially the five hundred elite soldiers led by Tian Jianxiu, who were each brave to take the lead, against the rolling wooden stones that kept falling overhead, repeatedly erected the long ladder, and erected it on the wall of Longzhou City.

The brave soldier raised his shield in one hand, put his waist knife in his mouth, grabbed the long ladder with the other, and began to attach ants, and the defenders were desperate so far, smashing all kinds of things defending the city like raindrops.

A group of rebels will climb on the long ladder, constantly holding the things falling above their heads, slowly climbing towards the city, looking about to climb to the top of the city wall, but the city wall poured a bucket of hot oil, the hot oil and water poured down, and immediately the team of rebels who climbed the city scalded the skin and flesh, screamed and fell, many people fell silently as soon as they landed, but there were also burned rebels rolling all over the ground, making a miserable scream.

Immediately a few torches were thrown down from the city, and a raging fire suddenly broke out on the long ladder full of hot oil, and many people were also stained with hot oil, and a little spark set their clothes on fire, and even burned several of the rebels like burning men, screaming and crashing in all directions.

Tian Jianxiu cut down a subordinate covered in fire with a knife, ended his pain, and yelled: "Give Lao Tzu on!" Avenge the brethren! ”

After calling for a call, he grabbed a pair of long ladders that had just been erected, and wanted to climb up the ladder, but he was pulled by several personal soldiers, and someone immediately grabbed the long ladder in front of him.

A wolf's tooth fell down with a bang, and it slapped heavily on the top of the long ladder, and a soldier at the front was blurred even if the flesh and blood were smashed by the wolf's teeth, and even the long ladder was smashed on the spot, several soldiers screamed and fell down, and when a bad luck person fell, he just fell on a stone, and his brain flew out of the distance, splashing on Tian Jianxiu's pants, and the straight Tian Jianxiu's hair was cracked, and he roared angrily.

The siege war has been fought to such a point, it has already entered the level of incandescent level, both sides have killed the red eye, regardless of the surrounding arrows, a large number of rebels under the supervision of the leader, over the moat, crowded under the city, a long ladder was repeatedly erected, and was pushed down by the defenders, shouting killing, guns, bowstrings filled the sky above Longzhou City.

Li Zicheng dismounted and Xiao Tianjian returned to the Chinese army to watch the battle situation at the city wall from a distance, and the expressions of the two began to be solemn.

Li Zicheng greatly underestimated the defenders' ability to resist and the will to resist, and seeing the soldiers and generals who fell at the foot of the city wall, he said that he didn't feel sorry for it, it was a fart, after all, this time he filled more than 500 elites under his command to the city, and he felt distressed every time he died.

And Xiao Tianjian looked at the tragic hellish scene in front of him, and was also shocked, this is the most tragic battle he has seen in this world so far, just because of the excitement of rushing to kill at this time, has been replaced by the shock brought by this tragic scene, human life is as worthless as ants, every moment there are lives disappeared in this war, and what they want is only the right to survive.

The sentence of a successful achievement and ten thousand bones has finally given Xiao Tianjian a deeper understanding, God knows if he will also become one of these dry bones in the future, in the dense rain of bullets above and below the city wall, anyone's strength seems so small, everyone's fate is not in their own hands, and the person who successfully laughs to the end can be said to be just an accident among countless accidents.

And he himself didn't know what the path he chose, and where he would go would stop abruptly, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but re-examine the path he chose.

"Push harder and you'll be up!" Li Zicheng clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist and said suddenly, and there was a trace of nervousness in his tone.

Xiao Tianjian looked at it, and sure enough, on the city wall on the right side of the south gate of the city, six or seven long ladders were erected at the same time, and a large number of rebels had begun to climb the long ladders, gradually approaching the head of the city, "Can it really attack the city?" Xiao Tianjian thought to himself, and at the same time nervously clenched the handle of the knife on his waist.

The battle has reached this level, Yang Yulin has calmed down, the firepower on the city has been exerted to the extreme, but it still has not been able to stop a large number of thieves from approaching the city wall, more and more long ladders have begun to lean against the city wall, no matter how the defenders counterattack, they can't stop them.

A general ran to Yang Yulin's side in a panic and shouted at him: "Mr. Yang Qian! The thief army is about to attack the city wall, and the lowly position is already a little unbearable! Some of the soldiers are already trying to escape! ”

"Kill those who trespass! Avoid the battle and kill the front! Those who dare to take half a step back will be killed! Diao Er, you take my waist knife to supervise the battle! There will be no forgiveness for those who resist the order! Yang Yulin reached out and took off the waist knife at his waist, casually threw it to a personal soldier behind him, and ordered the general and his own personal soldier.

The general was stunned for a moment, did not dare to say more, and immediately followed a few pro-soldiers back to the position he was responsible for guarding, and after a while, a few bloody human heads were hung, which suddenly made the already somewhat loose military spirit condense again, and some people who were too frightened to dare to move forward had to pick up the stone again and throw it towards the city.

And more and more rebel generals gathered under the city, just throw a stone down, you can knock over a person, down a rebel soldier, and soon another will take his place, continue to climb towards the city, shouting and killing The sound shook the earth, so that some new soldiers were a little soft-handed, and there were a lot of oolongs.

Two strong men carrying a bucket of boiling oil were about to pour this bucket of boiling oil under the city wall, but a defender officer and soldier next to a strong man happened to be hit by an arrow, was shot through the neck, blood splashed on the face of this strong man, frightened his hand soft, and knocked the barrel of oil on the city wall, the boiling oil splashed and scalded several defenders around screaming, and in a blink of an eye a rocket fell at their feet, and immediately a ball of flames rose on the city wall, burning the people around them in all directions, and suddenly chaotic.

Seeing that more and more rebels were gathering at the foot of the city wall, constantly erecting long ladders to attack the city wall, Yang Yulin casually dropped a hard bow that was broken by him and sneered.

"Bring out what you've prepared!" Yang Yulin turned around and ordered loudly.

When some of the officers and soldiers who followed him heard this, their faces showed a hint of joy, and they immediately agreed loudly, and took the order, and in a short time they carried out several large wooden boxes from the ear chambers of the castle tower, which were in fact baskets nailed with solid wooden strips, and contained a huge ball of mud, and left a lead outside the wooden frame.

These big guys were quickly carried by the officers and soldiers to several places on the city wall where the fighting was fiercest, and the city was full of ants-like rebels.

The officers and soldiers put the wooden frame on the battlement of the city wall, and someone immediately stepped forward to light the lead, which was immediately pushed down by several officers and soldiers, and fell heavily at the foot of the city wall.

Only a few earth-shattering loud noises were heard, and the most densely populated places under the city wall were suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and several huge fireballs were raised, and immediately near the explosion point, the human limbs rose into the air, and the scattered human flesh was scattered in all directions like rain, and even the people who were far away from the explosion point were shocked to the ground by this huge explosion, and many righteous troops who were about to climb the city were blown away at once, and what was even more terrifying was that this kind of 10,000 enemies did not rely on explosive power to kill and injure the enemy, and at the same time it would also spew out a large number of flames, Burning the enemy, the flames of saltpeter and brimstone spew far away, and if you touch the slightest bit, you will be burned to the flesh.

Looking at the scene of the minced flesh flying around, a large number of rebels finally could no longer bear such a blow, many people shouted in fear and turned around and ran towards the outside of the moat, although the leader of the rebel army wanted to stop them, but there were too many people who fled this time, even they couldn't stand firmly, they were wrapped in it, and they retreated from the foot of the city wall.

Li Zicheng's face suddenly became very ugly, and Xiao Tianjian's face was also not much better, his eyes widened in shock, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.

"Damn! The defenders actually used 10,000 enemies! Damn it! What a damn one! Li Zicheng could no longer make a calm gesture, clenched his fists and cursed.

"General, let's stop the troops for the time being! It's such a mess, if you continue to fight, it probably won't have any effect! Xiao Tianjian helplessly persuaded Li Zicheng, who was in a rage.

After Li Zicheng heard this, he held back his anger, nodded and said, "Command Mingjin to withdraw his troops!" ”

(This chapter may be controversial, for the 10,000 enemies, some sources say that it is simply an incendiary weapon, but there is also information that it is an explosive weapon, but I analyze that since this thing is filled with a lot of gunpowder, it should be more explosive weapons, of course, as for the built-in poisonous fire, divine fire and the like, it should have a certain degree of incendiary lethality at the same time as the explosion!) You might as well argue about it! )
