This series of actions is really dazzling, but unfortunately the effect is a little reluctant, Xuan Shaoning's ability is not bad, but Ling Fox Chao's ability is not small, just when Xuan Shaoning came to the top of his head, Ling Fox Chao was already on guard.

Jun Wu's blade slashed, causing Fox Chao's body to brush the blade, and a stream of blood splattered out, and Xuan Shaoning kicked over a Tang soldier and then landed. One ear then fell at Xuan Shaoning's feet, and there were drips of blood all the way from the ear to the crowd. Although Xuan Shaoning finally missed, he didn't make Ling Huchao feel better, and directly cut off one of Ling Huchao's ears.

The unbearable pain made the fox tide hide in the crowd, and the soldiers under his command immediately surrounded Xuan Shaoning. At the time of crisis, it was Zhang Hanshan who arrived in time, he had already pulled out a shovel from the neck of a Tang soldier who had fallen to the ground and died, and he held a handful in his left and right hands and danced vigorously, and no one dared to approach easily for a while.

In addition to Zhang Hanshan, there is also Ji Wenhan, Xuan Shaoning is accustomed to Zhang Hanshan's performance, but he was quite surprised when he saw Ji Wenhan rushing to his side to help. This kid has grown up fast enough, it's only three battles, he has been able to be brave and resourceful, which is really rare, Xuan Shaoning expected that he was far from being at his age.

The three of them formed a small battle circle, leading each other to attack and defend, and for a while the enemy could not get close. However, this battle circle is temporary after all, there are only three of them, but the enemy has hundreds of people, if there is no backup, it will be a matter of time before they are defeated and die.

Duan Lang shouted in time, "Brothers who lead the guard, come up with your skills!" This was the second time he had shouted this sentence, and he originally thought it was just a self-encouragement of himself, and only the soldiers who led the guards knew that it was a slogan for unified action.

Just after Duan Lang finished shouting, half of the guards directly abandoned their shields, raised their hands, pulled their right hands with their left hands, and suddenly a small rain of crossbow arrows shot out from the battle group of the guards, which caught the guards of the Tang Dynasty at the head of Dongcheng City off guard, with countless casualties.

This is the second line of combat equipment prepared by the guards - the sleeve crossbow. This is a modification of the conventional crossbow arrow, which is suitable for wearing a small crossbow bolt hidden on the arm, and is wrapped around the arm by a cow leather strap, and then the crossbow bolt is set up in four positions on the launch port to fire four crossbow arrows at the same time.

This sleeve crossbow is small and easy to carry, and it can be taken by surprise, but its disadvantages are also obvious, one is that it can only be a one-time attack, and after firing four arrows, it takes a long time to replenish the arrowhead, which will expose the user to the enemy's attack range; The second crossbow arrow cluster is small, and four arrows can be put together to form the size of an ordinary crossbow arrow, and the recoil of the sleeve arrow is not as good as that of the ordinary crossbow arrow, so the attack power of the sleeve arrow is also limited, and it can only be attacked at close range to achieve better results.

In this way, the soldiers of the guards were out of the way, and after completing a round of attacks, the remaining part of the soldiers of the guards immediately stepped forward to protect their robes with shields, but in this gap, the Lower Tang Army at the head of Dongcheng City had already launched a counterattack. Without the protection of their shields, and at the same time separated from their robes by a distance, it was extremely difficult for the guards to dodge the dense rain of arrows.

Casualties were inevitable, and Lu Xiang and his soldiers used the same method to continuously approach Dongcheng, and at the same time suppressed the Tang defenders at the head of the city to a certain extent, so that the Jingyi army successfully crossed the center of the suspension bridge and continued to advance in the direction of Dongcheng.

Ling Fox Chao's injuries were not serious, but in the face of these lifeless Liang people, he had already begun to worry in his heart, and he was thinking about how to deal with it, but he felt that the suspension bridge was shaking again. This time, the shaking appeared on the suspension bridge in this half of the East City, causing the fox tide to look towards the middle of the suspension bridge, and obviously saw that the suspension bridge began to rise slowly.

Dead! Who would dare to raise the drawbridge without their own orders? Ling Fox Chao wanted to shout towards the city, but the rapidly rising suspension bridge had made him unsteady. At this time, if the drawbridge is directly raised, it is a good thing for the Xia Tang defenders in the east city, they can completely isolate the enemy outside the city, but the price of doing so is not small, after the drawbridge is raised, not only the enemy but also their own comrades will be burned, of course, this may also include their commander.

Ji Wenhan was the first to fall, he really couldn't stand on his feet, and slid into Dongcheng City in the direction of the drawbridge's inclination. Xuan Shaoning wanted to hold him, but he was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself. Zhang Hanshan naturally understood the intentions of the Tang defenders in Dongcheng, and the time between the methods concocted by the law was too short, and this trick was just used by the Jingyi army an hour ago.

How can you succeed so easily? Zhang Hanshan slid down the suspension bridge, and at the same time waved his arm to throw a shovel against the iron winch at the base of the suspension bridge. The shovel broke through the air, knocked away the two Xia Tang defenders who tried to block it, and then steadily inserted it into the winch, and when the iron chain rolled to the position of the shovel, it was blocked by the shovel, so that the rise of the drawbridge stopped.

The drawbridge stopped in mid-air, and it was difficult for anyone to fight anymore, the only thing to do was to control their bodies not to slide too fast, otherwise they would crash headlong on the base of the drawbridge and estimate that their lives would be lost.

The suspension bridge rose and stopped so that most of the soldiers of the Lower Tang Dynasty who were originally standing on the suspension bridge fell to the ground, but fortunately they just slipped to the position of the pedestal, and the unfortunate ones had fallen directly off the bridge from the side.

Ji Wenhan fell to the position of the pedestal, his buttocks hit the ground, the pain was painful, fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but he couldn't stand up for a while. Ji Wenhan's side was surrounded by the Lower Tang Army who were similar to him, as long as they looked up and saw such an enemy mixed into their side, someone would definitely plan to get rid of Ji Wenhan as soon as possible.

Sure enough, one of them had already stood up and stood behind Ji Wenhan with his machete raised high, and he planned to go down with a knife and directly ask Ji Wenhan to behead him. The sword light then the night looked particularly blurry, the blade slashed, and then a little fire burst out, and the whole person of the Xia Tang soldier had already flown to a place a foot away.

Only then did Ji Wenhan look back, and it was Xuan Shaoning who was protecting him. At the moment when the butcher's knife was raised, Xuan Shaoning directly drew the knife and let himself fly down from the suspension bridge, kicking the Tang soldier away, and the machete finally slashed on the bridge deck of the suspension bridge.

"Brother Xuan!"

"Protect yourself, if you can't do it, then only I will come!"

Xuan Shaoning helped Ji Wenhan to fight side by side, and in the process of fighting with the enemy, Xuan Shaoning saw that someone was already planning to pull out the shovel inserted into the winch, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but he heard Zhang Hanshan yelling: "Don't be stunned, that side will be handed over to you!" If the drawbridge is allowed to rise, military law will deal with it! ”

Xuan Shaoning turned his head and saw that Zhang Hanshan rushed into the Tang Army alone, and then fought towards the winch on the other side, what he wanted to do could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Xuan Shaoning had no choice but to cooperate with Ji Wenhan to kill the winch where the shovel was already there.

On the suspension bridge on the other side, the lead guards and the cold knife guards looked up at the suspension bridge parked in mid-air, and used the most primitive way of human stacking: the soldiers in the first row squatted, the soldiers in the back row ran up and stepped on the back of the signator, jumped up and climbed the section of the suspension bridge with both hands, and finally jumped on the suspension bridge with all four limbs at the same time.

With the help of this method, more and more soldiers of the Jingyi Army climbed the drawbridge, and they became the live targets of the defenders on the head of Dongcheng City, and the feather arrows shot down one after another, and the first batch of Jingyi soldiers who climbed the drawbridge were killed and wounded.

Lu Xiang was furious, he waved his hand and asked the guards to take the lead with shields, so the scene was repeated again, under the protection of the shields, the guards used their crossbows to suppress the attack on the head of the city, and then the cold sword guards slid down along the inclined surface of the drawbridge as fast as possible, and once they slipped into the base of the drawbridge, they successfully avoided the feather arrows at the head of the city.

The soldiers who led the guards were half covering and half archery, and they used their bodies and tactics to provide protection and a way forward for the cold guards. Just as more and more soldiers of the Jingyi Army poured onto the drawbridge, the drawbridge shook again and then rose again, this time shaking many soldiers to sway.

Lu Xiang looked under the bridge anxiously, there were still some Jingyi soldiers who failed to climb the suspension bridge, if the suspension bridge was raised again, then the rest of the people would have no chance to climb up, and at that time, they would have no way to retreat, because those Tang defenders at the head of Dongcheng City would definitely not let them go.
