Chapter 146: Choice
"Whew!"
The fire fold in his hand fell, and the fire oil sprinkled from the city was lit into a wave of fire, and under the scream, the Huns who were on fire fell from the climbing rope like the fire feathers falling from the fire phoenix. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there was no scene of disrupting the formation of the Huns before, and once a Hun with a burned body fell off the city, he would be hacked to death by his companions who followed him in the blink of an eye.
Then, countless flying hooks were thrown at the head of the city.
In order to capture Yangqu City, he really did everything he could, even if he pointed the scimitar in his hand at someone he knew.
This time, it really hurt Liu Xi, who was defending the city, as time went by, the casualties became more and more heavy, and many places that were originally guarded by soldiers were no longer resisted.
The army is overstretched, and it is almost difficult to maintain the defense of the city.
Liu Xi was naturally aware of this, but he was powerless, so he could only continue to fight bravely to reduce the pressure on others around him.
Suddenly, several soldiers rushed forward, not rushing towards the Huns, but surrounding Liu Xi.
"What are you waiting for?"
The sword eyebrows raised angrily, Liu Xi shouted loudly, and none of those men dared to look at each other, and they lowered their heads one after another.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't escort the adults out of the city!"
Guo Wei roared angrily, and the soldiers who were hesitating on the left and right looked at each other, and after hesitating, two or three of them stepped forward and hugged their fists with Liu Xi and saluted, "My lord, I'm offended." ”
As he spoke, a few more people stepped forward, and before Liu Xi could speak, they were going to forcibly take him down the city.
"Who dares to touch me!"
Turning his head, Liu Xi's eyes widened, his red and swollen eyes were full of murderous aura, the long sword in his hand swayed, and the blood fell down the trend, dripping between the bricks and stones under his feet.
Liu Xi's words, the soldiers who were going to carry him to the city made a mistake, and they all looked at Guo Wei at a loss.
Being watched by Liu Xi like this, Guo Wei suddenly lost his momentum, and the leg that was about to step out stopped there, not knowing whether to retract or continue to move forward. Turning his head to look at Xiong Gang, Guo Wei saw that he was also frowning and at a loss, and immediately knelt down on one knee, "My lord, the situation is critical, and I hope that my lord will put the common people in the world first, and he must not suffer an accident here." ”
Guo Wei's words fell, and several soldiers around Liu Xi knelt down, "Please put the common people in the world first!" ”
Later, all the soldiers at the head of the city shouted, there were people who killed the enemy, although they couldn't kneel, but they also looked at Liu Xi with firm eyes, and chanted this sentence in unison.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xi's dry throat had a tearing pain, and the decisiveness in his blood-red eyes made him speechless.
It seemed that the situation had really reached a critical moment of life and death, and in the distance, a city head surged up to count the unique burly figures of the Huns, rampaging in that area due to the lack of defenders, as if entering a no-man's land.
In a hurry, with a sword, Liu Xi was about to step forward and cut these Huns to death, who knew that Guo Wei was blocking him with a quick step, and his face covered with a thick beard could vaguely be seen begging, "Please leave quickly, and the enemy will be handed over to his subordinates and others!" ”
On the one hand, Xiong Gang hurried to the head of the city in a critical situation, and with a few roars, he killed the Huns under the sword.
But as if the dilapidated thatched huts could not bear the continuous autumn rain, the Huns suddenly appeared everywhere in the city, screaming, and killing violently.
"Please leave quickly, sir!"
This time, Guo Wei's words were more anxious, seeing that Liu Xi was still standing in place, and had no intention of going down to the city, his black thick eyebrows were slanted into an inverted figure, and he glanced at the more and more Huns behind him, and then waved his hand left and right, "My lord, I am offended!" ”
Still did not speak, nor did he resist, Liu Xi let two soldiers with big shoulders and round waists stand up, and the long sword in his hand dripped blood and fell under his feet, forming a curved blood line.
As if he had lost his soul, Liu Xi's body was sluggish, like a wooden man being carried by a thread, but his eyes were dull and he couldn't see the slightest bit of brilliance.
Lost, such a mess.
In his ears, there were more and more Hun voices that he couldn't understand, with a disturbing sense of excitement, and he wanted to plug his ears, but what was the use?
Looking back at the soldiers who were killing the enemy, he only felt that the tip of his nose was sore, and his lost eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
"Bang!"
As Liu Xi's feet were about to descend the blood-stained bluestone staircase, a loud bang passed through the shouts of killing in the wind, and even the bricks and stones that formed the city wall under his feet shook slightly.
"What is this!"
The soldiers beside him were full of shock, and naturally, Liu Xi also saw what he was referring to, but it was a simple hanging tower that was half a battle higher than the city wall.
It is supported by several tall logs, and at the top is a platform with something resembling a large spoon resting between the platforms. At this moment, a thick middle-aged man was shaking the wooden shaft, the big spoon was sinking down, and on the ground, several men were struggling to carry the boulder and put it into the big spoon.
The thick middle-aged man immediately shook the wooden shaft again, and the big spoon suddenly swung out, throwing the boulder over the city, with a black shadow, and smashed into the Huns outside the city.
Catapults actually became!
A flash of brilliance flashed in Liu Xi's eyes, and in his joy, several similar hanging towers were pushed over from a distance.
If you count them carefully, there are as many as eight.
The person pushing it may have seen the effect of the catapult in front of the city, and his face was full of brilliance, and he shouted a trumpet in his mouth, and quickened his pace.
With these catapults, I think I can last a little longer. Liu Xi didn't expect that these craftsmen only spent two days to build this catapult, and what he didn't expect was that Qu Lang led a group of people to carry more than a dozen small bed crossbows to the city.
This is also the sketch that Liu Xi drew at the beginning, but it was too late to make crossbow arrows, so some modifications were made for the time being, so that the craftsmen groped to make them, anyway, there were feather arrows shot by the Huns at the head of the city, and they would not be lacking.
The person carrying the small bed crossbow did not need Liu Xi's instructions, they each found a battlement, put the bed crossbow up, and at the same time, several people who followed handed over the arrows they had picked up on the ground.
"Woohoo!"
Feathered arrows were like locusts, densely breaking through the air, sweeping away a piece of the Huns.
The sharp weapon that suddenly rose up instantly reversed the situation, and the arm strength of the catapult was huge, and it even smashed into the camp of the Huns several miles away, and the people everywhere were so shocked that they turned on their backs.
"Childe!"
In the chaos, a soap-clothed qu wave rushed over, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and pointed straight at the soldiers beside Liu Xi, and scolded angrily, "You are so bold that you are so rude to my son-in-law!" ”
Qu Lang's angry shout made the two soldiers come back to their senses, and they hurriedly took two steps back, "Don't get me wrong, a certain brother and two are also acting on orders." ”
Hearing this, Qu Lang put away the long sword in his hand, and at this time, he also figured out the reason, with Liu Xi's skills, how could he be held hostage by these two people.
Thinking of this, Qu Lang glanced at Xiong Gang and Qu Lang, who were fighting with the Huns not far away, and a look of respect for thought appeared between his eyebrows.
The sword in his hand hung down, and Qu Lang walked to Liu Xi's side, his bloodshot eyes full of worry, "Childe, my subordinates have brought eight catapults and fifteen bed crossbows. ”
At this point, Qu Lang stopped talking, although he was a ranger, he could also understand that since Liu Xi turned around and came to the stone staircase at the head of the city, he naturally had a plan to leave, and at this moment, even if Yangqu City had these sharp weapons made overnight, it was only to slow down the pace of the Huns.
Alone, Yangqu City can't be defended after all.
It's just that he left like this, I don't know why, Qu Lang is a little unwilling, even if he has never regarded Yangqu City as a place worthy of nostalgia.
This dilemma has not appeared for a long time in Qu Lang, who has nothing to worry about for his family, and he understands that he has a bond, just like when he couldn't let go of the poor Qin Yi.
The long sword was not sheathed, Qu Lang stared at Liu Xi, I don't know when, his eyes had been closed, as if he was quietly listening to the shouts and killings around him, but there was no soothing look on his cold face, and the sword eyebrows had been tightly twisted together.
Childe, this is thinking.
Qu Lang silently recited a sentence, and at the same time, he also knew Liu Xi's decision, and immediately felt that the stuffiness in his chest due to hesitation was swept away, his right hand was clenched, the long sword passed sideways, and a cold light came out.
"Qu Lang, you are by my side, once the situation is not right, immediately escort Shuang'er and still out of the city, there must be no mistake!"
The voice is calm and powerful, and his eyes are like cold stars, full of determination.
