Text Section 128 Crazy Rush to Kill
Looking at the West Vietnamese Iron Cavalry in the dust, not to mention these young guards who had never experienced a battle, including Li Jianshan, also trembled a little.
Li Jianshan closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. He regretted it a little, according to Li Jianshan's personality, he would leave a way back for himself before doing anything. But this time, Li Jianshan did not leave an escape route for himself. After all, the entire Lidu City was pressed on his shoulders, and once he fled in the war, it would not only hit the morale of the entire garrison, but also bear the infamy of the people of the city. He can't do this, and he doesn't dare to do this, otherwise, the eight generations of his ancestors will not forgive him.
"Brothers, cheer me up. Our army will arrive in the capital city soon, and even if there are many people in the Western Yue barbarians, they will not want to cross our capital city. Li Jianshan shouted loudly, cheering everyone up.
Zhou Guangji looked at it, and also said loudly, "Children, don't be afraid of death, don't forget that behind you are your parents, brothers and sisters, and even your own wives and children." Once the Western Vietnamese army broke through the city, they would be humiliated. For the sake of your family, children, fight with them! ”
Zhou Guangji's words touched the hearts of many people. Many people in the city were young people who were temporarily recruited, as Zhou Guangji said, Lidu City was their home, their parents and wives were all there, and even if they died in battle, they could not let the Western Vietnamese army enter the city.
"Fight with them~!"
"Defend your homeland to the death!"
Many people shouted hysterically, as if this was the only way to raise the courage in their hearts.
Outside the city, the Western Vietnamese army rushed over howling. But they were less than a hundred meters away, and the horses circled and then returned. The entire army circled outside the city from left to right as if controlled by a large hand. And the previous cavalry of the army was only one step away from the dug trap.
Li Jianshan cursed secretly, and said in his heart that it would be good to dig a little farther in the pit like this.
Suddenly, a trumpet sounded in the army, and the horsemen, who were hovering outside the city, raised their bows and arrows and began to shoot at the city walls.
Many guards were still looking outside the city in a daze, seeing this scene, Li Jianshan hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up~hide behind the arrow~!! ”
This group of inexperienced recruits hurriedly dodged. But just like that, dozens of people were still hit by arrows, and the screams in the city suddenly rang out.
Li Jianshan's face turned pale, "Crossbowmen, shoot ~ shoot these bastards." ”
The crossbowmen in the city began to fight back in a chaotic manner. Some people don't have a goal at all, they just pull out their bows and shoot them out. There are even some people who hide behind the arrow stacks and draw their bows diagonally to shoot arrows, this kind of counterattack is simply a waste of arrows.
Outside the city, the Western Vietnamese army howled and began to evacuate, and even if some bows and arrows were fired against the armor and shields, they would not be of much damage.
"Stop~ Stop shooting!" Li Jianshan hurriedly ordered, he didn't want to lose arrows fearlessly.
Xiao Zhanfeng stopped at the land of three arrows outside the city. The people were reorganized, and the layers of phalanxes were quickly arranged. Zhou Guangji and Han Feng looked at each other, and the two glanced at each other, from which it can be seen that the West Vietnamese army is well-trained and by no means a loose team.
Xiao Zhanfeng stepped forward on his horse and stopped at a stone's throw away. Looking at the people in the city, Xiao Zhanfeng snorted coldly with disdain.
The officials in the city listened, Xiao Zhanfeng, the vanguard general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Xiyue. If you open the city and surrender, the general promises that our army will not invade a single plant or tree in the city. Maybe we will get along for a long time in the future, and General Ben will regard you as my people. If they resisted, all the generals would hang their heads in front of the public and kill all their relatives in the city. If that general can lead his troops to surrender, open the gates of the city and welcome our army in. The general promised that he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and if he wished, he could be rewarded with land in my Xiyue. ”
Xiao Zhanfeng was very experienced, and he did not frighten the other party by slaughtering the city. In that case, if a fierce battle breaks out, it is likely to cause the same enemy to fight and kill. After all, there is no way back, and you can only fight to the death. Therefore, he only said that the leading officials were killed, and did not involve the people in the city. In this case, after one or two attacks and defenses, some people may be scared to open the door and surrender.
Li Jianshan took a step forward, stood between the two arrow stacks, looked at Xiao Zhanfeng and shouted, "Listen to the barbarians of Xiyue, this Lord is Li Jianshan, the commander of the Great Xia Army. The Xiyue barbarians have been peeping at me in Daxia for a long time, and the thief's heart is not dead and ready to move, and I have already taken precautions against all this. Don't think that if you break through the Two Realms Mountain and bypass Landu City, you can do whatever you want. I have tens of thousands of troops in the capital city to wait for you, just like you Xiyue barbarians back then, and I promise that you will never return. ”
"Hahahaha~!" Xiao Zhanfeng let out a burst of iron-hoofed laughter, "Boy, you are still tender in acting in front of this general." Even if you count all the people in the city, it's just a swarm of ants. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, and leave a way back for yourself and the people in the city. ”
"Presumptuous, it should be you who leaves a way back, go back to Xiyue as soon as possible, and you can live for a few more years. Otherwise, outside the capital is your burial place. ”
The two of them were fighting, and Han Feng quietly took a step back, turned around and said to one of the attendants he had brought.
"Give me a hard bow."
A Beiming entourage hurriedly lowered a longbow and a sharp arrow, and Han Feng took the arrow in the bow and pulled the longbow with a struggle. Don't look at Xiao Zhanfeng is standing in a stone's throw away, but this distance is for ordinary city defense bows and crossbows. Han Feng's longbow is a special hard bow made by Beiming, which ordinary people cannot open, and the shooting distance is not only far but also powerful.
"Seventh, it's up to you, take out the style of the year." Zhou Guangji said encouragingly.
Han Feng stepped out in one step, stood between the two arrows, and with a whoosh, the sharp arrow shot out.
Xiao Zhanfeng was even arguing with Li Jianshan, and suddenly saw a cold light flickering, his heart was not good, he waved the spear in his hand, and his body quickly leaned back.
Clang~! The sharp arrow was swung away by the spear. But Xiao Zhanfeng didn't expect this arrow to be so powerful, his arm shook, and the spear fell to the ground.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at the top of the city in surprise, he didn't expect that there were still masters hidden in the capital. It is not possible for ordinary people to shoot such powerful arrows at such a distance. Xiao Zhanfeng quickly retreated more than a dozen zhang, and he didn't even dare to get off his horse to pick up the discarded spear.
When Li Jianshan saw it, he immediately let out a hearty laugh, "Xiyue barbarian, even if you have the guts, you dare to come to the capital to be arrogant, let's go back to Xiyue, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Above the city, all the guards were also cheering. Han Feng's arrow greatly boosted everyone's morale, and in their eyes, it seemed that the West Vietnamese army was not as terrible as just now.
Xiao Zhanfeng sneered, "There is no shortage of Jianghu strangers in this world, but in front of the army, Jianghu Yishi is just a powerful ant." The mantis arm is a car, and it can't stop the iron cavalry of my army. Since you don't listen to persuasion, then wait for death. ”
Xiao Zhanfeng turned his horse's head and returned to his camp, facing the strict array at the head of the city, Xiao Zhanfeng did not immediately order an attack. Instead, he ordered them to set up camp on the spot, and ordered them to cut down trees in the vicinity and make climbing equipment. Their army was dominated by cavalry, and they could only sigh without the tools to climb the city.
Under the confrontation of the army, everyone in the capital city felt pressure. After a day and a night, the horn finally sounded from the Xiyue camp.
Above the city, Li Jianshan and the others looked in surprise at the rows of infantry soldiers who came out of the other party's camp and were ready to enter the city. Zhou Guangji was surprised to find that they did not make a simple ladder to climb the city, but tied the thick trees in rows to form a wooden wall. Such a wooden wall was erected by many guards, and it was possible to block the arrows that were shot when they walked forward. Moreover, when you get to the bottom of the city and put it on the wall, it becomes a slope. The infantry guards only need to rush up the slope, throw out the rope hook and hang it on the top of the city, but there are still two or three meters away, and it is easy to climb the city.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhanfeng gave an order, and more than a dozen war horses ran to the city gate with screams from the army. Behind the war horse, a heavy log was pulled. In a short time, the dug trap was destroyed.
"What a Xiao Zhanfeng, so calm, it doesn't seem simple." Zhou Guangji couldn't help but praise.
Han Feng also stretched out his hand and said to Li Jianshan, "See, the guards are drenched with water on their bodies and on the wooden wall, this is to prevent us from attacking with fire." ”
Li Jianshan gritted his teeth, "Come on, the knife and axe hand is ready, as long as there is a grappling hook thrown into the city, cut it off immediately." The crossbow is ready, aimed at the wooden wall~! ”
"Wait~!" Zhou Guangji shouted.
Li Jianshan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhou Guangji.
"Jianshan, immediately ordered someone to tie an oilcloth in front of the pile arrow, light it and shoot it. Even if the logs are drenched, we have to give it a try. ”
"Good!" Li Jianshan hurriedly ordered, not only tied the tarpaulin, but also smeared pine oil on the entire pile arrow.
Due to the heavy log walls, the Western Vietnamese army did not move fast. The crossbows on the city wall creaked and stirred the ropes, and the guards aimed at the wooden wall.
Bang~Bang~! Some of the stakes missed, some missed. As long as the wooden wall was hit by the pile arrow, it didn't need to be ignited at all, and it was smashed to pieces. However, after all, it was only a small number of shots, and a large number of wooden walls soon came under the city walls. The wooden wall was built on the city wall, and the Western Vietnamese guards behind the wooden wall rushed up with shields in their hands and shouting.
Whoosh whoosh~ One by one the grappling hooks were thrown onto the city wall. Li Jianshan suddenly shouted, "Let go of the Wood Thunder Stone, the knife and axe hand ~ up!" ”
The walls of the city lined up, and the thick wooden stakes and boulders smashed down hard. The West Vietnamese army was like ants, smashing down batch after batch. Soon, many grappling hooks that had not had time to be cut were climbed up along the ropes. A battle suddenly broke out on the city wall, and in the face of the fierce Western Vietnamese barbarians, the recruits in the city were crowded in a hurry.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Guangji and Han Feng originally retained an elite reserve of 1,500 people, but they had to press it down.
Xiao Zhanfeng rode on his horse, saw the Xiyue guards who kept rolling down, and said fiercely.
"Impact~! You must not give the other party a chance to breathe, sons, give me a hard kill~. Take this city, and let you live happily for three days. Those who dare to retreat~ slash! ”
Xiao Zhanfeng held a war knife in his hand to personally press the formation, he wanted to charge and kill continuously in this morning, exhaust the opponent's manpower, and take the capital city in one fell swoop.
