Chapter 370: The only way to do it is to take risks in a fierce battle

At the head of Shuxian County, the arrows of the rebels' countermeasures came all over the sky, although they did not cause too much damage to the Han army, but under the random arrows, someone would always be hit. Moreover, the most fatal thing is that because of the suppression of arrows, the Han army had to dodge the arrows, and naturally could not immediately fight back against the rebel foot soldiers attacking under the city, that is, taking advantage of this moment, the rebels howled and arrived under the city.

As the rebel infantry who resisted the ladder took the opportunity to quickly advance to the city, they raised the shield escalator in pairs, set up the siege formation, and then jumped up with the shield first, agile as an ape, holding the ladder, and went straight to the city, at this moment there is only one thought in their hearts, that is, to climb the city in the shortest possible time.

However, when they were halfway up the climb, a large boulder fell from the ground, and the rebel soldiers were broken in the head and fell to the ground, and some of them were determined to jump directly from the ladder, and they would rather break their legs than suffer from the stone and wood.

There is more than that, those rebel soldiers who are still crowded and ready to climb the city wall, as the Han army poured down the fire oil and gold juice in the iron pot at the head of the city, suddenly a miserable cry and wail sounded, only to see countless rebel soldiers who had not even touched the ladder, covering the parts of their bodies that were drenched, lying on the ground and wailing.

From the very beginning, the rebels were destined to kill the city, which was not a simple matter at all. Of course, it is not that no one has climbed the city, but even if one or two or even a few people of the rebels are lucky enough to climb the city wall, they will be immediately killed one by one by the many Han sabers and shieldmen who are waiting for them, and the Han army at the head of the city will not give them any chance to sit at the head of the city.

However, these boulders and heavy logs have weight after all, and the soldiers of the Han army do not say that they have to consume great physical strength to carry them, resulting in inexhaustible physical strength, and it is difficult to carry them, even if they take time in the middle of the transportation. The rebels under the city will not give the Han army enough time to rest and carry, even if they see the people in front of them being stoned to death, they will also rush to the city one after another, even if the Han army pushes several ladders in a row, it cannot prevent more and more rebels from climbing the city.

Of course, the rebels can climb to the top of the city like this, naturally it will not be without paying too much price, at this moment the county seat of Shuxian County has long been empty of gunsmoke, and the city is adding piles of corpses, it can be said that the corpses are everywhere, a rough look, I am afraid that the rebels are in this simple siege, and the rebels have lost thousands of people or so.

The Han army and the rebels on both sides, on the battlements back and forth for several rounds, the fierce battle became more and more intense, at this moment there have been dozens of rebel soldiers on the top of the city, including Han and barbarians, although they are fighting separately, but firmly nailed to the battlements, not an inch of retreat, until the battle is killed.

Looking at the expressions of these rebel soldiers who did not spare their lives before they died, perhaps it was the oppression of the world that they were tired of living, perhaps living was just a luxury for them, and only death was the antidote to their fate.

Under the city wall, Liang Fierce came with another group of rebel soldiers, the previous Dabie Mountain ambush battle, after the defeat of the Han army led by Fu Quan, this Liang Fierce was retreated with the rebels, successfully escaped with soldiers and horses, and returned to Huang Sui's camp safely. Later, Huang Sui reorganized the fleeing soldiers on the spot, and ordered Liang Fierce to command, and at this moment the soldiers led by Liang Fierce were naturally the remnants of the Mahu Division, and they all now came straight to the city with a vengeful shout.

Seeing that the head of the city seemed to be repelled by the Han army, Liang Ji hated it in his heart, and immediately shouted and ordered his soldiers to touch it with him. The rebel soldiers who had landed in the city had died, but after they landed in the city, they delayed the Han army ten times their own for a long time, and even if none of them survived and all of them were killed, they bought precious time for the latecomers.

And this latecomer, naturally there is Liang Ji's group of rebel soldiers, the so-called mourning soldiers will win, to a large extent, the reason is that the mourning soldiers in a short period of time, the combat effectiveness that broke out is very strong. Liang fierce's team of soldiers, are originally Ma Hu's elite soldiers, although by Fuquan counterattack defeated, but it cannot be denied that they are all elite soldiers, and they at the moment because the original commander Ma Hu was killed, naturally hated the Han army, now they are a mourning army, ignoring the Han army's cold offensive at the head of the city, straight to the city tower, vowing to completely break the county seat of Shu County, only a moment of effort, there are many people on the top of the city.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies, and that they had already exceeded 100 people, the Han army immediately launched a charge, trying to annihilate them all and regain the initiative on the battlefield. The rebels are not to be outdone, as long as they are given a relatively fair environment, they believe that their combat power is absolutely above the Han army, and the small county town of Shuxian is not the opponent of their army at all.

The two sides fought stubbornly, the shouts shook the sky, stirred up the blood rain in the sky, and the blood flowers scattered at any time, and their feet were blood-red at the moment, all of which were dyed with blood from both sides. And this river of blood, the Han army on the tower of the city is no stranger to it, because in the siege of the city in the past few days, they don't know how much such "blood water" they have cleaned up.

Attacking a hundred people with thousands of people, not all of them can intervene, and the city defense is mostly the elite gathered by ordinary people, and when they see that they can't fight the enemy, they stand still and don't know what to do. Although there are more than 3,000 soldiers in the city, these soldiers who have been trained for a long time are still divided into four gates, and the south gate has always been the rebel lord, Lu Kang left a thousand soldiers, and the other more than 2,000 soldiers are distributed in the other three gates, and this thousand people are obviously a little stretched to guard the south gate, so at this moment, many city tower gaps, there are many private soldiers who have just entered the battlefield are defending the city, and some of the young and strong soldiers are the head of the city and the soldiers have lost too much, and they have just been recruited, so they will naturally not know how to deal with it.

Lu Kang was commanding with a sword behind the city tower at this moment, and when he saw this, he hurriedly shouted and ordered them: "Don't be stunned, continue to attack outside, don't let the rebels outside the city come up easily." Perhaps it was at the last of his life that his voice was extremely loud, not at all like the voice of an old man.

As Lu Kang's words fell, those young men who stayed suddenly suddenly bent their bows and shot quickly, filling crossbows quickly, although they were hurriedly recruited soldiers, they were usually not good at archery, but at this moment they couldn't stand the distance between the two armies so close, so the killing of the arrows was very considerable, and they easily suppressed the offensive of the rebels landing in the city.

Looking at the two sides fighting in a mess at the head of the city, Lu Kang frowned, the speed of the Han army killing the enemy was obviously not able to catch up with the speed of the rebel climbers climbing the city tower, roughly counting, the rebels had nearly three hundred people, which was more than several times more than the previous one, and the situation was becoming more and more critical.

"It's urgent! If the thieves continue to climb the city, the enemy is outnumbered, and they must not hold it for a long time, and they should take a dangerous ......" Lu Kang immediately gritted his teeth and ordered the Han army to retreat, and the soldiers defending the city were stunned when they heard this strange order, but they had no time to think about it, after all, Lu Kang was too guarded, and at this moment the rebels were going to slaughter the city, they didn't believe that Lu Kang would really give up, so the Han army on the city tower retreated suddenly after a sudden fierce arrow attack.

The rebel soldiers who were hiding in all directions because of the sudden arrow attack of the Han army, after the Han army retreated, looked confused, and did not know why the Han army retreated. However, they also had no time to think about it, so they could only move forward, waving their weapons with hideous faces, no matter what tricks the Han army played, they were going to attack.

Of course, now that the Han army has taken the initiative to retreat, they are also relieved in their hearts, and they have secretly said that this siege may be much easier, and even some of the rebel soldiers showed great joy on their faces, thinking that this was because the Han army could not support it and fled. And the Han army fled, which means that the city is broken, and if the city is broken, it will be a great joy for them, because they can kill people and set fires, rob money, grab goods and rob women, so the faces of these soldiers are more and more hideous and terrifying.

However, before the rebel soldiers could advance to the city tower, they saw that the retreating Han troops suddenly turned back, and once again gave them a storm of arrows and crossbows, and the rebels suddenly fell in a large area, with more than 100 casualties. That's not all, dozens of young men suddenly ran on both sides of the city wall at this moment, they were holding cans of fire oil familiar to the rebels in their hands, and then when the rebels were at a loss after the arrows just now, they slammed the cans of fire oil in their hands into the rebel camp in front of them.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ......" several times in a row, and the cans filled with fire oil shattered due to the continuous impact, and the fire oil inside was suddenly drenched on the bodies of most of the rebels.

At this moment, Lu Kang, who was only in the city tower, shouted again in his old and powerful voice: "Set fire!" The voice fell, and before long, more than a dozen Han soldiers held torches and threw them at the rebel soldiers who were dyed with fire oil.

Suddenly, the fire was all over the sky, accompanied by the firelight appeared the rebel soldiers crying wolf howls, most of them became fire people, the difference is that some people are full of fire wandering, or looking for the city wall to rub, or directly sleeping on the ground, with blood to extinguish the flames on their bodies. And some people only took part of their bodies stained with flames, looking for water and walls to extinguish, and the Han soldiers were a few feet away in front of them, using swords, spears and shields to stop these soldiers who wanted to get close to the Han army.

The head of the city became a fire field, and not only the Han army could not push forward further, but also the rebel soldiers who were climbing up the ladder to the city were also dumbfounded. Because the head of the city was already occupied by a steady stream of rebels just now, as the Han army burned like this, it immediately used the flesh of the rebel soldiers to make a hot flame barrier, and the scope was very large, leaving not too many gaps in the city at all. The rebel soldiers who were still going to the city could only look away when they saw this, after all, there was nowhere to go on the city tower at the moment, could they jump into the fire and take the initiative to die?

It's just that this is not the most difficult for the rebels who have landed in the city, but for them, the most suffering at this moment is those friendly troops who have been burned and run towards them, taking the initiative to call for help with their bodies full of flames.

Once people have a threat of death, they will lose their minds, and rebel soldiers like the castle tower, who were burned by fire, will naturally seek life when they know that they are going to die. How will they find their way to survive? Naturally, I was looking for all the people and things that could put out the fire.

Looking for someone to help, naturally they want others to help them extinguish the flames on their bodies, at this moment they don't care about friends and enemies, many people rushed to the Han army not to find the Han army to fight, but to hope that they help them put out the fire, but unfortunately waiting for them is only the sword and spear of the Han army.

Therefore, at the moment, the Han army could not help, and those rebels who were burned could only go to their partners who went to the city later. They are like those who see hope desperate to find a life-saving straw, even if they are covered in flames, they have to go to get in close contact with the rebels who have landed in the city behind them, so this is the most unfortunate thing for the rebels who have landed in the city, they don't want to be burned themselves.

This is how things developed, and finally there were scenes of cannibalism, and the rebels who landed in the city directly used their swords to kill these troublesome "flame warriors", so as not to affect their own lives. Naturally, after those "flame warriors" were terminated early, a few were left at the head of the city and disappeared with the fire, while most of them fell to the city because they were close to the city, and after smashing and burning a few of their own companions under the city, they also perished.

Huang Sui, who was in the rear of the rebel army, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he saw this, he was already overjoyed after seeing the Han army retreating and his army hoping to break the city, but he didn't expect this result to happen, how could this satisfy him? And now with the fire barrier of the Han army, he will definitely not be able to attack the city tower for a while, after all, unless he can order his soldiers to brave the sea of fire and advance, otherwise when the Han army occupies the city again before the fire is extinguished, can the soldiers under his command still be able to enter the city?

The final result was also as Huang Sui expected, as the fire gradually extinguished, the Han army that was already at the head of the city quickly stepped forward to seize the head of the city, and before the rebels who were still standing on the ladder and were about to climb the tower again, they pushed down the ladder they had originally erected, and repelled these rebels with countless arrows.

This was not the end of the story, after the arrows passed, the Han army on the tower of the city then threw down many cans of fire oil again and smashed them at the rebel soldiers gathered under the city. Then the old trick was repeated, and it was another fire, which burned the city of Shuxian into a white ground, and the city became a sea of fire in an instant.

Countless rebel soldiers who fell into the sea of fire wailed, and the sound was many times louder than the rebels who fell into the sea of fire on the city tower just now, and with the flames burned the wooden ladders that the rebels relied on to attack the city, and also fell into the raging fire with the Han soldiers.

"Run! Escape! I can't beat it...... I don't know if it's the rebel soldier who got up, maybe it's because they repeatedly saw their fellow traitors who rebelled together in the past fall into the fire, coupled with the cruelty of the war, they couldn't bear it psychologically, and they collapsed all at once.

I saw that all of a sudden, the rebel soldiers under the city were like a tide, and without the order of the commander, they turned and fled, as if they were routed.

This scene under the city made Huang Sui in the rear scold, but it also made Lu Kang in the city breathe a sigh of relief, after all, his dangerous strategy worked. However, although the strategy worked, how long the county seat of Shuxian County could be defended, he was at a loss in his heart......
