Chapter 35: The Battle for the City Gate

However, it is obvious that the military quality of the lieutenant in front of him is not half a star and a half, and it is useless to say how important it is to him. Lian Wu tried for a long time, and finally decided to give up playing the piano to Niu and assign tasks instead.

The first is to ask the lieutenant to reorganize the 2,000 defenders, according to the regulations, leave the soldiers of the appropriate age, and reconvene the other soldiers and recruit them according to the actual establishment.

The second thing is that Lian Wu took two commanders and Zheng Quan to board the city with them, and took a closer look at the fortifications on the city wall, which were actually mainly some rolling stones and wood, as well as some arrows and spears. Really well prepared.

"Lord Zheng has been fully prepared, as long as the soldiers have food and grass in place, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to hold Shancheng." Lian Wu finally felt that there was something that made him happy, and he couldn't help but be a little happy.

"It's a matter of the lesser things." Zheng Quan said with a smile. It seems that Lian Wu is not a difficult person to get along with. He believes that the two of them will get along very happily.

Before you know it, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and a bonfire is also lit on the city gate. Lian Wu and Zheng Quan had a good conversation and were about to leave the castle tower. Suddenly, with a "whoosh", something broke through the air, Lian Wu was sensitive, his eyes were vicious, and when he saw the light and shadow of the moonlight passing through the object, he immediately pushed away Zheng Quan beside him, and he also took a few steps back, shouting loudly: "Be on guard!" Alert! With a thud, the object slammed into the window behind where the two had been standing, making a trembling sound.

It turned out to be a feathered arrow!

Lian Wu hurriedly leaned down, leaned down to the shooting port and looked out, it was black and nothing. But he knew that once he showed his head, it was estimated that there would be many bows and arrows beckoning him, so at this time, it was the patience of both sides that should be considered.

"Go down and see if the gates are closed." Lian Wu leaned down and said to a soldier next to him.

The soldier was submissive, like a half-grown child, and when he heard Lian Wu's order, he turned around in a panic and left. But he obviously forgot what the situation was now, and stood up and ran. Lian Wu hurriedly shouted, "Get down." But before he finished speaking, he kept carving arrows, and they pierced the night sky, hitting his vest, and before he could shout, he left this troubled world with a youthful fear.

Lian Wu blamed himself again and again, many years of defending the city made him accustomed to a comfortable life, but he didn't expect that because of the lack of his own advice, he buried a young life.

"The general will take it a little, and the last general will go and have a look." Du Wei, who was originally following him, walked up to his side and said to Lian Wu. Watching a young life disappear before his eyes, he no longer defended his point of view. He leaned down and followed the wall all the way to the gate, but saw that the gate was open, and all the soldiers were hiding behind the wall, and no one went to close it.

"What's going on? Why don't you close the door, aren't you afraid of enemy attacks? ”

"Jia Du Wei Rongyu." One of the middle-aged men, carrying a spear, said to him: "It's not that we don't want to close the city gates, but once we show our bodies, there are countless archers shooting arrows at the brothers in the darkness opposite. Just now, four brothers had already died there. He said, pointing in the direction of the gate.

When Jia Duwei heard this, his brows tightened, it seemed that the other party had already been lurking there, damn it, how could he forget to cut down those trees on the opposite side first.

However, at this moment, self-blame was useless, he could only bite the bullet and look outside, only to see several corpses of Zhao soldiers lying at the empty city gate, and there were arrows stuck in the corpses.

Passing through the city gates, the outside scene was not visible at all, even the moonlight was hidden. Only the breeze blew, and the rustling of leaves sounded in the woods opposite, which sounded very pleasant, but who would have thought that the bowstring of the Grim Reaper was hidden here?

Jia Duwei looked around, these soldiers were obviously new soldiers, as soon as they heard the enemy attack, they came out with spears, and then they were urged by Shangguan to close the city gate, and they didn't think of protecting themselves at all, so they all came out in simple clothes. He said in a low voice, "Go to seven people, strong and strong, take out the shield, follow me to carry the shield over, the other party's arrow can't penetrate the shield, let's stand a little denser, it's not a big problem." ”

After listening to his orders, everyone finally had a score in their hearts, and hurried to get their shields. After a while, I saw several people with several round shields appear in front of Jia Duwei.

"Why don't you have a big shield?" Jia Duwei asked suspiciously, in this case, this round hand shield is completely useless, it must be that kind of defensive shield to be effective. 、

"You forgot your stomach, the quartermaster reported to you that this time the round shields were transported from Handan, and the big shields were time-consuming and laborious, and they were all sent to the north, and we haven't arrived here yet." A soldier said.

"Bad luck." Jia Duwei said, I didn't expect the house leak to rain overnight, this time it was really planted. He looked at it for a while, saw the door panel next to him, picked up the door panel and said to the person next to him, "Come and come with me, and the others will help later." ”

After a while, six or seven soldiers followed Captain Jia Du and rushed out with the door panel. The door panel was much wider than the shield just now, and it was completely able to block the upper body of several people, but it was below the knee. But Jia Duwei believed that in such a night, even if the enemy could know that there were people, he would shoot arrows indiscriminately, and it would be impossible to aim at his own feet.

As expected, when Jia Duwei appeared under the city gate carrying a wooden plank, the opponent's bow and arrow came as scheduled, knocking on the door panel and beeping, and some powerful arrows pierced the door panel and cut the faces of several people.

However, seeing that they were about to arrive at the city gate, several people did not care about their wounds and hurriedly ran towards the city gate.

However, at this time, a fire lit up. Jia Duwei was stunned in his heart, could it be that the other party started to use rockets? After a slight distraction, he could only beep and scream again, but this time, Jia Duwei smelled the smell of burning objects and the burning sensation of his palms.

"Damn, hurry up. That's just two steps. Jia Duwei said, enduring the scorching heat and rushed forward. He knew very well that since the other party did not hesitate to expose himself, he also wanted to use rockets, and he must have something strange at the city gate, otherwise he would not have used such a big battle, just to kill a few soldiers guarding the city gate. Therefore, he had to close the gates before anything happened.

At last, he touched the hidden gate and shouted, "A few people go over there, give me force together, and shut it!" As he spoke, he began to push the gate toward the center, and as soon as the gate was closed, the initiative was in his hands.

Suddenly, the city gate, which was still walking forward just a moment ago, suddenly stopped moving. Jia Duwei was startled, looked up, and was startled.

I saw a young man wearing the armor of Zhongshan Kingdom, his feet stuck on the ground, and his hands were pressed against the city gate. No matter how hard Jia Duwei and the others tried, the city gate just didn't move.

Jia Duwei was anxious, he didn't expect the other party's strength to be so huge, so he said, took out the knife on his waist and slashed at the man.

That man was obviously on guard, and the moment Jia Duwei drew his sword, he was still working hard, eager to remove the city gate and open it to the soldiers of Zhongshan Kingdom. Seeing that Jia Duwei's knife had already slashed towards Lian Li's left hand, he quickly let go, and the soldiers of Zhao State, who were still struggling just now, didn't know what was going on, but as soon as the man withdrew his strength, they were all scolded, and the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and the city gate also advanced for a while, and then slowly stopped.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. Jia Duwei didn't succeed in a move, so he quickly changed his move, brushed and brushed three times and rushed to the other party. The man was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and as he retreated, he did the same, knocking the soldiers on the other side to the ground.

Seeing that the other party was not wearing a weapon, Jia Duwei knew that this guy had all the strength, and he was afraid that the weapon was heavy and could not be carried with him. This is his own opportunity, and regardless of the other party's new wave of arrows, he fought with the other party between the dimensions of the city gate.

On the one hand, he is skillful in swordsmanship, and on the other hand, he is fluent. Captain Jia and the man flipped between dimensions. Seeing this, the soldiers next to him hurried up to help. Unexpectedly, the other party was very strong, and he dragged a Zhao soldier with his hand, and he used it as a shield to fight with Jia Duwei.

Either it becomes his weapon and then throws it at another person. Everyone didn't expect that his strength would be so great. It turned out that five or six people were not close to each other. Jia Duwei lay on the ground, looked at him clapping his hands, showed a contemptuous smile, and said, "Who are you?" ”

The man didn't expect that there was still a person who was sober, but Zhongshan had no intention of attacking Xiashancheng, not to mention that the city gate behind had been closed, and now it was just a city wall, which was of little significance, so he said to Jia Duwei: "Remember, I am Zhongshan Wuqiu Dove!"
