Chapter 152: Attack and Defense of the City
With the sound of a dull drum horn outside the city, an iron block with a scale of more than 1,000 people, under the leadership of Zhao Cijing, is taking firm and powerful steps, the shield is like a mountain, and the lance is like a forest, walking towards the city wall.
On the battlefield, arrows rained down, but for the Tang Army's ironclad guards in the phalanx, there was almost no damage. At this moment, most of them have arrows ranging from one to several arrows, but they are not moved at all, following Zhao Cijing, shouting the trumpet, taking firm steps, walking slowly towards the city wall, their eyes flashed with murderous aura, with an unstoppable momentum, it seems that the entire city wall is almost going to be flattened.
"Throwing stones~!"
With Yao Junsu's loud order, the Sui soldiers at the head of the city leaned over and began to find stones on the ground, those watermelon-sized stones, all over the ground, which were the missiles left over from the first wave of flying stone attacks, but at this time they became ready-made weapons for the defenders of the city, and the Sui soldiers shouted slogans, threw these stones with the greatest force, and threw them into the iron party array under the city.
Even if he was wearing iron armor and a bronze helmet, he could prevent the rain of arrows in the sky, but he could not prevent the flying stones at the head of the city, and those who hit the head were all brains bursting, flesh and blood flying, and fell on the spot.
"Fight back!" Even Zhao Cijing, a child of a family who is from a family and has a good cultivation on weekdays, was aroused at this moment and shouted loudly.
I saw that the iron party blocks that were originally grouped together suddenly dispersed, and hundreds of ironclad guards with strong crossbows raised their heads and pulled the trigger in their hands towards the city, and pulled them a few times, and in an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows roared across the sky and flew up to the city.
More than 50 Sui soldiers who had just leaned out of the city were shot in the face and neck by this wave of crossbow arrows, and many people died directly at the battlements of the city wall.
Seeing this, Wei Yijie hurriedly said sharply: "Quick, the archers are rushing to the head of the city, right now, twenty rounds of rapid fire!" ”
The archers of the Tang army who were ordered all drew their bows and arrows as fast as they could, quickly released arrows at the city, and then picked up the next arrow again, and pulled and released it again.
The Sui soldiers at the head of the city fell one after another in the rain of arrows, and they didn't care about throwing stones at the city again, and the living people hurriedly grabbed the shields around them and put them on their heads, while squatting down and clinging to the battlements to avoid the attacks of these bows and arrows.
"Wang Xingben, bring Lao Tzu's own soldiers up! Fuck it! Yao Junsu shouted sadly.
With the sound of hurried footsteps, from the corridors on both sides, two hundred Sui soldiers in iron armor rushed up. In their hands, they all held iron rods, maces and other hammer-stick weapons, almost no swords and long lances, dense rain of arrows shot on their bodies, leaving a lot of arrows on their shoulders and chests on the iron armor, but it was rare to break through the armor, these ironclad warriors, not even need to pull out these arrows, directly pulled out the waist knife around them, and cut off the arrows, leaving only a small short section on their own armor.
The iron party array under the city also began to act, dozens of steps of special, widened and reinforced ladders re-established to the head of the city, these ladders are different from the simple ladders climbed by the previous light infantry, the ladder heads are with a hook, when the battlements are hooked, by the way, it hooks the city wall battlements, even if it is two steel forks, it is difficult to push it off the city wall at once, and the Tang army iron armor guards under the city are holding the round cards on their arms, biting the big knife, shouting the trumpet, and crawling towards the city head in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, Yao Junsu gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Jintang, pour it on Lao Tzu!" ”
The words of the chief general were orders, and several auxiliary soldiers of the Sui army, who had been waiting under the city for a long time, carried a pot, and more than a dozen large pots of hot, boiled dung juice, that is, golden soup boiling oil, were carried to the city, and a foul smell followed. Then, these sergeants directly threw the entire big iron pot, together with a pot of boiling hot gold soup with dozens of catties in it, directly down the city and poured it on the Tang Army's ironclad guards who were besieging the city.
More than a dozen pots of golden soup were poured down at the same time, and there were bursts of creepy screams under the city, no matter how strong the protection was, no matter how hard the armor was, it was impossible to prevent this kind of boiling oil attack, more than 100 ironclad infantry poured these golden soup all over their heads, and the hands, faces, necks, etc., which the iron armor could not protect, suddenly festered, and some people even burst out of their eyes, and rolled around on the ground, screaming miserably, and even brought down a lot of their companions around them. The originally neat and orderly ironclad attack phalanx also appeared a little chaotic.
Then with the support of the Tang army archers under the city, the Sui soldiers at the head of the city easily did not dare to show their heads, and many of the Tang army ironclad guards who climbed the city also successfully climbed to the top of the city. They roared, and under the personal leadership of Zhao Cijing, they picked up the big knife in their mouths and jumped directly from the ladder, wanting to kill all the enemies they encountered in front of them with the knife wheel dance, but what caught their eyes was the ironclad soldiers of the Sui army who were also wearing heavy armor, wearing evil ghost masks, holding iron rods, copper hammers and maces.
The dull sound of knives and sticks hitting each other came and went, although the two-handed broadsword could easily split the leather armor and chain mail of ordinary soldiers, but in front of the heavy iron rod and copper hammer, it had no advantage at all, on the contrary, after these blunt weapons hit the iron armor of the Tang Army's personal guards, they could break the bones inside and hurt the internal organs while knocking the iron armor out of a pit.
In addition, there are only dozens of Tang army ironclad guards who jumped into the city, but there are two hundred Sui army ironclad soldiers at the head of the city, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in number.
These people with armor have more than 200 pounds of human body, at this time it has become a more useful thing than stones, thrown into the iron party array under the city, smashed a piece, a wall more than five feet high, although it is not unattainable, but from this height fell more than 200 pounds of things, can still smash people, plus these iron armor guards are outstanding in protection, but they are inflexible, sometimes they see something falling above their heads, but they are too late to dodge, several people are hit by such a big piece of iron-clad meat, and fall together, Many of them were crushed to death.
The ironclad warriors fought fiercely at the head of the city, and with the baptism of thousands of feathered arrows under the city, the head of the city of Pusaka turned into a battle of steel and steel!
