182 Hold on!
……
August 25, early in the morning, dawn......
"Kill~"
Outside Linyuan Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shangguan Army who were tackling key problems carried ladders and pushed crashing cars, frantically rushing towards the wall.
"Wind~"
"飕~"
As soon as Song Jinghao's generals gave the order, thousands of thick feathered arrows rose from behind the wall, turning into a rain of arrows and falling into the dense array of officers and soldiers, and immediately resounded the sound of arrows breaking through their bodies and soldiers falling to the ground.
"Golden juice ~ quick! Hurry up ......"
Wei Xian, who was guarding the gate, saw the approaching siege vehicles under the city cave, and hurriedly ordered the surrounding defenders to pour boiling dung juice down.
"Ah~~"
Soon, the siege soldiers who had no time to defend themselves were scalded to the ground by the hot juice and let out a very terrible scream, and the siege vehicle also stopped in front of the doorway.
"Flutter~"
"Poof~"
"Uh~"
A burst of cold arrows gathered from under the castle tower, knocking over the soldiers who had just finished pouring the golden juice and had no time to dodge.
"Ding~"
Wei Xian blocked an arrow that came from the wall, and hurriedly shrank at a corner of the wall to look out of the pass, only to see that dozens of steps away, a neat shield-shaped phalanx appeared, and from time to time from the gap in the shield poked out feathered arrows and shot at the entrance of the city......
"Aim for those shields! Archer, give me ...... arrows."
Seeing this, Wei Xian roared and ordered the surrounding archers to fight back, vowing to defeat those shield arrays.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
When Wei Xian's archers heard the military order, they could only poke out of the battlement wall and shoot arrows back at those standing shield arrays.
The arrows that were shot out of desperation only made a sound of metal nailing into the plank, and did not cause them much casualties......
"Fluttering ......"
"Puff puff ......"
On the contrary, the arrows that popped out from time to time in the shield took the lives of more than a dozen defenders above the city......
"Damn! Octagonal crossbow, blast them away for me! ”
Seeing that the arrows had little effect on the shield array, Wei Xian remembered the power of the octagonal crossbow, and immediately loudly ordered his hand to go forward and prepare to return fire.
"Squeak~"
Under the nervous control of the soldiers, the three octagonal crossbows made a tight string sound, but I saw that the crossbow arms on both sides had been twisted to the extreme.
"Don't panic, listen to my orders......"
Seeing that the octagonal crossbow was ready to fire, an observer poked his head out of the battlement and stretched out his palm behind his back, ready to swing it down at any moment.
"Put ~ uh ......"
"Boom~"
Just as he was sure that the octagonal crossbow was aimed at the shield array outside the gate, and he swung his arm down with a loud roar, a sharp wolf's tooth arrow pierced his cheek from the edge of his nose to the back of his head, bringing out a few drops of blood......
But fortunately, he completed his final mission before he died, and the octagonal crossbow at his side let out a heavy taut string sound.
The thick crossbow spear roared towards the direction of the shield array with a thick killing intent.
"Bang~"
"Ah~~"
The crossbow spear rushed into one of the shield arrays, and immediately several unprepared sword and shield men flew up with huge inertia, overwhelming the flow of people behind them, and several unlucky archers were also immediately taken out, and finally fell heavily on the ground, and there was a lot of commotion in the dense shield array......
"Put~"
"Put~"
"Put~"
"Bang Bang Bang~"
More than a dozen octagonal crossbows, under the orders of their respective controllers and the generals of the defenders, roared in unison and pounced on the shield arrays that were still standing.
I saw that in the dense sea of people outside the pass, "huge waves" were churning in the air, and those shield arrays finally collapsed under the terrifying attack of the octagonal crossbow......
"Well done, hahaha~"
Zhuang Lei, who was the deputy general of the defenders, slapped the battlement wall hard when he saw this, and laughed.
"Go on, kill all these rebels who dare to go against the Governor's Palace!"
"Yes~"
When the defenders around Zhuang Lei heard this, they all howled, and then continued to hold bows and arrows or carry wooden rolling stones to smash at the Shangguan army under the wall......
"Disease~"
"Disease~"
"Disease~"
"Ha~"
"飕~~"
At the post that Song Jinghao was sticking to, with the shouts of the Song army generals, the longbowmen under the city wall were divided into four groups, and wave after wave raised a wave of arrow locusts, running through the Shangguan soldiers who were galloping in the distance.
"Puff puff ......"
The sound of prismatic arrows shooting into the body was incessant, and countless advancing Shangguan soldiers fell to the dry and hard ground within a hundred steps of approaching the wall.
"Ah~Save me~"
Those soldiers who have not yet died are still screaming in despair, but they can only watch the blood in their bodies gradually drain until all the heat in their bodies is drained......
"Rush in~ Hurry up......"
Outside the city cave, a group of more than 100 soldiers who survived the rain of arrows and arrows, led by Shangguan's general, Shangguan Li, violently pushed the siege vehicle that remained outside the city cave and rushed directly into the city cave......
"Bang~"
A huge crash roared in the city cave, and the tip of the hardwood inlaid with iron slammed into the gate of Linyuan Pass, but the gate only shook slightly, and it was still as steady as a mountain.
"Pull hard, don't stop!"
When Shangguan Li saw this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he once again loudly ordered the soldiers around the crashing car to pull the iron chains tied to the crashing wood backwards......
"Hey~~"
"Bang~"
The bumper slammed into the iron door again, but there was still no sign of breaking the door except for a deafening loud noise.
"Get out of the way! I got it! ”
Shangguan Li immediately scolded in annoyance, took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, pulled away a soldier in front of him, and grabbed the chain himself.
"Listen to me! One, two, ......"
"Hey~~"
"Bang~~"
"Go on! Give me strength, one or two......"
"Bang~"
"Continue ......"
Under the command of Shangguan Li, the crashing car smashed the giant door more than a dozen times, until Lei was panting and sweating like rain, but the heavy and tall door still showed no signs of breaking.
A soldier loosened the chain, and immediately said to Shangguan Li with a sad face in discouragement: "General, you can't smash it, the door is poured with molten iron, and the bolts behind the door are all made of 800 catties of iron, there are 12 of them, and we can't smash them......
"If you dare to say more, General Ben will disrupt the morale of the army and correct the law on the spot!" Shangguan Li roared angrily, "Continue to exert my strength, it's not easy to get to this point, do you want to give up?" Ah, Lord Shangguan said, the first to break the city will be promoted to the sixth level, and the reward will be ten thousand taels, and he will not get rich with me! ”
"Whew~"
After listening to Shangguan's words of grace and power, the surrounding siege defenders howled in unison again, pulled up the iron chain and slammed into the gate.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Ah~"
At this moment, the soldiers who had been squeezed out of the cave were suddenly crushed to the ground by the falling wooden rolling stones, and let out a terrifying howl of pain.
"Leave them alone and keep going! Those who dare to retreat will be killed! ”
Seeing a trace of horror on the faces of the soldiers pulling the chains around, Shangguan Li roared angrily, and then took the lead in smashing the wooden slamming the door slammed into the gate, until a loud bang was heard, but the miracle did not happen, the iron gate still did not move, only a piece of dust and debris fell above the city cave.
"Flutter~"
"Ah~~"
"Bang~"
"No~"
The mournful howls outside the city cave still continued to reach the ears, and countless Shangguan soldiers let out one after another howls under the attack of arrows and falling arrows......
