Chapter 45: Bloody Battle at Yumen Pass
In the Yumen Pass in August, the scorching sun was scorching, and the heat wave was coming, even if the breeze hit, it was a scorching burn.
Standing on the city wall, Yang Shuang was dressed in simple armor, carrying a knife and a shield, and he had a trace of expectation for Ding Yanping's armor in his heart.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold.
Dress up cooler, and we'll have the appearance of a general.
Under the city walls, a mile away, Wolverine with left and right guards was shouting and swearing.
"The old ghost of Cao Nima, return Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses, or break through the level and kill all the old and young, and let you go out of business!"
"Don't think that by occupying the Jade Gate Pass, you can be on an equal footing with King Shanshan, and don't forget your family members in the ancient city of Jimo!"
"Open the gates of the city quickly!!"
Wolverine looks a little frustrated, bald with long hair, big shoulders and round waist, holding a fine iron crutch, similar to the 03 version of Duan Yu's own father - Duan Yanqing.
Yang Shuang wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of this thing, so he turned his head and said to Niu Er: "Go, show the banner of the old ghost!" Find a few captives and end horse thieves, talk nonsense about gossip with King Shanshan, and scold back! If you can scold Wolverine in a hurry, you will be allowed to be incorporated into the sword and shield soldiers! ”
"By the way, roll a few more shouting microphones in leather!"
Soon.
More than 20 captives and horse thieves stood side by side by the city wall, carefully observing the movements under the city, raising the microphone and shouting loudly.
"Wolverine, your father is here, hurry up and get off the horse to pay homage!"
"That old bitch of King Shanshan has an itchy ass again? Last time I was in charge with us·····"
"Smack·····
Yang Shuang couldn't help but slap his hand, "Damn, change the topic!" ”
The horse thief captives were a little aggrieved, "Guan Cheng, I'm scolding the old ghost ······"
Someone pointed out, the scolding was endless, shaking the wilderness, and even because of the role of the shouting microphone, there were bursts of echoes.
Wolverine was in a hurry.
This scolding is becoming more and more unreliable, and even King Shanshan has become his own child!
"Siege !!"
Yang Shuang was looking forward to the siege battle, but whether it was him, or the omniscient Wu Kun, he still underestimated the power of the three thousand horse thieves to ride and shoot.
Yes!
Three thousand horse thieves, all of whom rode and shot, were a mile away from the pass, and with the help of the momentum of the war horses, they threw their feather arrows at the city wall.
"Defense!"
Yang Shuang only had time to shout, blocking the giant shield in front of him, and the rain of arrows fell with a bang.
"Clusters and Clusters ······"
"Jingle ······"
And that's not all!
The horse thief who rode his horse in a circle, after a detour, the feather arrow came out of his hand again.
"Whoosh ·····"
No worse than the Turkic cavalry!
Yang Shuang's thoughts flashed, and his eyes swept around, fortunately, although the sword and shield soldiers were like hedgehogs, there were no casualties.
Raising the huge shield and approaching the wall, the crossbowmen hiding behind them were also unscathed.
To his horror, the city wall that had just been repaired had become pitted after being washed by feather arrows, and the foot-thick wall buttresses had shed a lot of skin.
Cut corners!
No, it was the labor of repairing the city walls, without professional training!
The rain of arrows is still there, and it lasts for seven or eight rounds!
"Bang······ Bang ······"
Time had only passed, and suddenly there was the sound of heavy objects crashing under the city.
Yang Shuang looked down, only to find that there were already hundreds of horse thieves, with big shields, pushing the car and starting to break the door!
Moreover, there are nearly 1,000 people, carrying long ladders, less than 100 meters away from the city wall!
"Drop the gates! Fast! Shoot!!! ”
The city gate is almost impossible to break, unless the two-foot thick stone gate can be broken, Yang Shuang is worried about the long ladder, there are only three hundred people on his side, if the enemy climbs up, it will be a big trouble!
"Tweet ·····"
The experience of defending the city at Yumen Pass is almost zero, and they don't know how to fight back, so they can only blindly pull the trigger through the battlement holes in the wall, but the horse thieves who are riding and shooting in the distance, regardless of the accidental injury of friendly soldiers, still throw a rain of arrows, and completely suppress the crossbow arrows and sword and shield soldiers on the pass.
"Break through the Yumen Pass, capture the head of the old ghost, reward ten beautiful concubines, and 100 cattle and sheep!"
"Kill !!"
Countless horse thieves rushed to the city wall with the help of war horses, staring at the shields and climbing hard.
In the rear, three assembled ladders slowly approached the city gate tower, and on it, dozens of archers, bent their bows and arrows, shot one after another at the crossbowmen who were ready to counterattack.
Yang Shuang took a deep breath to calm his violently beating heart.
The ladder is not a ladder, but a wooden cart carrying a ladder!
Men hide inside and push, followed by the team ready to attack the city, similar to a manpower tank, when close to the city wall, the folding ladder will be erected, making it easy for the warriors behind to climb the wall!
However, to Yang Shuang's surprise, the ladder was erected, but no one came to attack it!
What the heck?
As soon as doubts arose, the movement under the pass made him suddenly change color.
Those 100 well-armed cavalrymen actually charged against the city wall!
No!
They want to follow the ladder and rush up the city walls!
It was too late to destroy the cloud ladder, Yang Shuang hurriedly shouted, "Shi Da, stop them!" ”
Even if the city walls are too crowded to run horses, these knights can buy time for the horse thieves under the city by dismounting and fighting on foot.
Hearing the shout, Shi roared angrily, flicked the bloody mace, and slapped it on the neck of the war horse.
Immediately the knight fell off the wall with a miserable howl, and the sound stopped abruptly.
However, there is only one Shi Da, and there are three ladders!
Wu Kun and the others had to prevent the horse thieves from climbing the long ladder, but also to block the cavalry, and gradually took care of one thing and the other.
Soon, six or seven horse thieves were already standing on the walls.
Seeing the hope, the horse thieves in the city let out a burst of shouts, and their momentum rose again.
Critical!
Yang Shuang waved his shield and flew to the cavalry in front of him, quickly thinking about countermeasures.
He really couldn't imagine that this group of horse thieves would be so fierce, from the siege to the present, only two quarters of an hour have passed, and the Yumen Pass has been crumbling.
What to do?
As early as the outbreak of close combat, the shield battalion blessed the sword and shield soldiers.
And ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, and they were not used at the beginning of the siege because the distance between the two sides was too far, and when the horse thieves relied on riding and shooting to suppress everyone and start the siege, it would be meaningless to use it again.
"Bang······ Bang ······"
Although many horse thieves climbed the walls, the sound of banging on the gate was still ringing.
It's better to be blocked!
Yang Shuang's spirit flashed, and he suddenly thought of a way.
Let the horse thief break through the city gates, enter the urn city, and relieve the pressure on the city walls!
"Niu Er, take someone to hang the city gate! Let the horse thief enter the customs!! ”
"Good!"
"Galala ······"
"Bang······ Boom ·····"
"The door is broken!!"
After the heavy stone gate was raised, the wooden gate could no longer withstand the damage, and it suddenly fell apart.
Horse thieves waiting to climb the ladder cheered loudly and swarmed in.
On the pass, the pressure was greatly reduced, and the hundred elite horsemen who relied on the ladder to rush up the city wall were instantly strangled and killed.
But Yang Shuang did not let his guard down.
There were only 2,000 horse thieves besieging the city!
Seeing that the city gate was broken, Wolverine and the rest of the men and horses still stayed a mile away!
"Niu Er, almost all the horse thieves have entered the urn city and fallen down the city gate!"
"Zhou Lao Wu, set fire to it and destroy the ladder!"
"Three babies, trebuchet ready!"
"Wu Kun, shoot the horse thief in Wengcheng with the bed crossbow!"
