Chapter 110 - Fierce Battle at the City Gate
"Boom, boom!"
The trebuchet of the Great Qi Army was a frenzied bombardment of Luoyang, covering the advance of the soldiers besieging the city under the city.
Fortunately, the defenders of Luoyang on the city tower had already seen the power of trebuchets, and they found a place to hide early, so they did not cause much damage.
As the infantry and siege vehicles under the city gradually approached Luoyang City, the trebuchets of the Great Qi army also began to stop attacking, otherwise with the accuracy of the trebuchet, it was easy to accidentally injure their own people.
"Brothers, slay the enemy with me!"
As soon as the trebuchet stopped, Scar raised the long knife in his hand and led a group of soldiers to the city, and the archers also raised their longbows and aimed their arrows at the enemy troops under the city.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Scar's roar, the archers at the head of the city let go of their fingers, and one after another shot at the soldiers of the Great Qi Army under the city with a cold light, but most of them were shot on the enemy's shields, and the final damage was not great.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the siege vehicle, which had lost the suppression of the bed crossbow, finally approached the head of Luoyang City for the first time.
At this moment, the numerical disadvantage of the defenders of Luoyang was completely exposed, with the support of the siege vehicles, countless soldiers of the Great Qi Army stormed the city, and there were many simple ladders on the walls of Luoyang City, and the soldiers of the rebels held their shields with one hand and climbed frantically along the ladders.
On the other side, Fu Qinghe had already begun to arrange for people to pour hot oil along those improvised ladders, instantly scalding the enemy troops under the city into screams.
"Quick, pour fire oil and burn this siege vehicle!" Fu Qinghe slashed down a rebel who jumped onto the city, and shouted as he pointed to the siege vehicle that had leaned against the city.
At this time, dozens of rebel soldiers had already poured into the siege vehicle, and seeing that they were about to rush to the city wall, a thousand households beside Fu Qinghe quickly threw a clay pot filled with fire oil onto the siege vehicle, and then threw a torch over.
The torch fell on the siege vehicle, and the entire siege vehicle was ignited in an instant, and with the help of the fire oil, the flames jumped wildly, and in an instant, all the rebel soldiers on the siege vehicle were swallowed.
The soldiers on fire no longer had the ferocity of Fang Cai, and jumped off the siege engine, rolling wildly on the ground, hoping to use the soil on the ground to extinguish the fire, but to their disappointment, under the influence of the fire oil, the fire could not be suppressed at all, and they could only watch themselves being burned into charcoal.
At this time, more than a dozen wells of the enemy also approached the city wall and launched a confrontation with the soldiers at the head of Luoyang City, causing great casualties to the Shouwang army.
"Shield! Shields! Scar slashed an enemy up the ladder and shouted hoarsely.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of sword and shield men stepped forward, raised their huge shields to protect the crossbowmen at the head of the city, and the rebels' feathered arrows clanged into the shields.
From time to time, the rebel soldiers climbed the city wall along the ladder, but basically under the bow and crossbow and sword of the Shouwang army, and soon died in Huangquan.
The crossbowmen of the Shouwang Army, hiding behind the sword and shield bearers, no longer attacked the enemy troops under the city, but specifically aimed at the rebels who had just climbed up to the top of the city and had not yet reacted.
This is also thanks to Joey's credit, if she hadn't imitated the Flying Fish Crossbow, the soldiers of the Shouwang Army would not be able to configure the whole army, and the Shouwang Army at this moment would not be able to rely on the Flying Fish Crossbow to suppress the rebels.
The situation on the battlefield was at a stalemate for a while, but everyone knew that as the rebels' siege engines got closer and closer, more and more rebel soldiers attacked the city, and the material consumption of the Shouwang army became greater and larger, and it would not take long for them to completely fall into a disadvantage.
"General, let me take my brothers out of the city! If we continue like this, we will definitely lose, General! ”
At this moment, Chen Qianhu found the scar again, at this moment, he was already no longer energetic in the morning, his face was overflowing, the broken armor was stained with blood, the horizontal knife in his hand also cut countless gaps, his hair was scattered on the back of his head, and the whole person was full of violent atmosphere.
"But..."Scar glanced at the enemy troops under the city, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Chen Qianhu's eyes became extremely complicated.
At this moment, there are a large number of enemy troops under the city, if the city gate is opened and Chen Qianhu is released, in order to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to enter the city gate, the defenders in the city can only close the city gate immediately, so I am afraid that they will never have a chance to come in.
"General, there's no time! If the general doesn't promise me, I'll jump from here! Chen Qianhu waved his hand, interrupted Scar's words, leaned against the city wall, and shouted hysterically.
"General, my Chen Sheng's life was given by the prince, and my family is also thanks to the prince's care, now the prince's Luoyang City is at my feet, and the two princesses are also in this Luoyang City, if I lose it and fold the princess, even if I Chen Sheng is dead, what face will I have to face the prince!"
Chen Qianhu screamed excitedly, and after speaking, he wanted to jump off the city wall.
Seeing this, Scar was startled, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Qianhu's side, grabbed him, and roared hoarsely, "I promise you, I promise you!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Chen Qianhu glanced at Scar gratefully, patted his chest, and turned around to gather people.
Scar looked at the back of Chen Qianhu leaving, and felt very uncomfortable.
After a moment of grief, Scar regrouped and lifted his long knife into the battle at the head of the city, knowing in his heart that now was not the time to grieve.
At this moment, the remaining siege vehicles of the enemy army are getting closer and closer to the head of the city, and there are more and more ladders leaning on the head of the city, and the crossbowmen are completely unable to suppress the enemy who climbed up to the head of the city, so they can only rely on the cooperation of the sword and shield hands, and it is difficult to maintain a balanced situation, and what makes everyone desperate is that there are few crossbow arrows left in their arrow baskets.
"Brothers, who is it that gave us food and paid us a high salary?"
Under the city gate, Chen Qianhu was making a final speech to his brothers, and his 1,000 brothers had already lost a lot in the battle just now, and there were only about 800 people left.
"Who is it that has placed our family and given us the dignity of being human beings?"
"Who is it that improves government decrees, attaches importance to people's livelihood, and makes the people see the hope of survival again?"
"Lord Wang! Rajah! Rajah! ”
Although the soldiers below didn't know what Chen Qianhu wanted to do, they still responded with their throats pulled.
I always feel that I haven't written well, if you feel that there is something that can be improved, remind me!
