Chapter 240: Desperate

The sound of "dong dong" was like a gallop of thousands of horses, so that the Tang army, who had just sat down and had not had time to take a breath, all stood up and looked at the tide of people and horses outside the city.

"The Tubo people are going to fight hard, the whole army is ready!"

Tian Zhen only glanced at it, and then shouted loudly: "The arrows and stones are not enough, and the hot oil is burned, hurry up and bring it up." ”

In fact, the city was always busy, and those who temporarily acted as servants were the Han people who had been organized in the city, carrying bundles of arrows, carrying pieces of stones, and carrying buckets of boiling oil, and sending them to the city wall non-stop, while carrying the wounded soldiers down.

This time, the speed of the Tibetans was very fast, and when Liu Ji shot the first crossbow arrow, they were already less than thirty steps away from the city wall.

The crossbow arrows he shot were inserted into the hand shield of a Tibetan man, who was not only tall and long, but also athletic, and more importantly, wearing a full-covered armor, only a pair of eyes came out, and the long ladder was carried by him on his shoulder, and the other hand also held a straight knife, which could be called a swift walk, thirty steps away, he only stepped a few times to the city wall, and put the ladder up with one hand.

They didn't even arrange the archers for cover.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ji did not hesitate to put down the crossbow machine, picked up a big stone, and smashed it down according to the ladder.

"Let so-and-so come."

Xu Guangjing held a bucket of hot oil in both hands, and poured the bucket down with his head and face, the man was drenched, and let out a terrifying scream, but he still climbed up step by step, and soon, his upper body was exposed.

I saw that his hands were blistered one by one, and the hot oil penetrated into the gaps in the nail leaves, and his whole body was bubbling, and only a pair of eyes were blocked by the outer edge of the iron helmet, so they were not drenched.

Liu Ji took the Mo knife, took two steps back, leaving a space to perform, the man shouted and climbed up to the city, and was about to jump down when he saw it, at this moment, Xu Guangjing didn't know where to take a lit torch and threw it according to his body.

There was only a "boom", and the hot oil began to burn from the soles of his feet, and soon enveloped his entire body, and the man's eyes shot a terrifying light, and his mouth swooped, and he rushed down the city wall like a burning man.

"Even if it's a terrible ghost, Lao Tzu will cut you into the underworld."

The surrounding Tang army was all taken by its might, seeing this situation, Liu Ji shouted, and the Mo knife broke out of the air.

The sword light slashed straight at the man's body, perhaps burned by the fire, the man did not dodge or dodge, but subconsciously wanted to use the leather shield on his arm to block, the sharp blade cut through the leather shield, and cut off his forearm.

The Tibetan man, who had already been swallowed up by the fire, did not pause in his footsteps, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he swung a straight knife into a circle, which was still stained with burning hot oil.

Liu Ji dragged the knife back, dodged the opponent's blow, didn't have time to stand still, twisted his waist, and the Mo knife slashed at the man's chest from bottom to top, from back to front, the blade split the armor leaf and the layers of cowhide inside, straight into the flesh, and the blood spurted out was evaporated by the fire, still unable to stop the other party's pace.

The sound of "snort" continued to sound, and the man's body was shot by Tang Jun several arrows, but he didn't even shake it, and saw that he took another step.

This is a guy who is tougher than Da Nang.

Liu Ji concentrated his energy, raised the Mo knife high above his head, spread his legs, straightened his waist, shouted loudly in his mouth, and slashed down the knife head-on.

"Death!"

The big man, who was already delirious, subconsciously crossed his knife to block, and the heavy knife momentum pressed down along with his knife, splitting the iron helmet and the hard skull, almost cutting the opponent's head in two.

This time, his life was finally ended, and the hand that had been burned to dry bones by the fire was finally released, and the straight knife fell to the ground with a "bell".

Liu Ji pushed his burning body with a Mo knife, kicked his body hard, and kicked his body down the city, but before he could take a breath, another Tubo man climbed onto the city.

The enemy actually sent the strongest men among the first group of siegers, which immediately put great pressure on the defenders, and the sound of fighting sounded everywhere on the city wall.

A steady stream of heavily armored samurai climbed the walls, many with more than one arrow stuck in their bodies, but the armor provided a defense that allowed them to withstand more severe blows.

These warriors were warriors of all tribes, skilled and fearless of death, and even the flames could not make them fall immediately, and some even threw themselves into the ranks of the Tang army, trying to burn the enemy with the flames on their bodies.

A neighboring country that has caused great disasters to Datang really has enough capital to be proud of.

Encountering a strong enemy, Liu Ji became more and more courageous, Mo Dao drew a white light around his body, and vented the battle intent in his heart with joy, turning the range of about ten steps in front of him into a death zone, and everyone was invincible, even if it was thick armor, it could not withstand his heavy blows.

Chopping, chopping, stabbing, picking, twisting, sweeping, the huge blade of more than a person tall seemed to be one with him, and became more and more handy.

I don't know how long it took, when he found that there was nothing in front of him, he was already approaching the city, and the continuous exertion of physical strength was huge, and with his physical condition, he couldn't recover quickly, so he had to lean on the blade of the knife and take a breath.

"Lord, in exchange for so-and-so."

Zhang Wuyuan simply spit out a sentence and stood in front of him, Liu Ji drew his knife and retreated without saying a word, observing the situation on the city by the way.

Under the continuous offensive of the Tubo people, the casualties of the Tang army can be imagined, and even Tian Zhen, the main general, joined the battle group, while letting out bursts of roars, while brandishing the Mo knife, if it were not for this kind of sharp weapon, I am afraid that it would be hanging now.

The Tubo people concentrated the strength of the whole country, like the kind of warriors who are ten when they charge into battle, and they are used to open the stalemate when they charge into battle, and the so-called good steel must be used on the blade, and it is impossible to use it for consumption, but now, they have become the first to ascend.

The pressure on the Tang army has increased sharply, especially the frontal city wall of Tian Zhen's department, Liu Ji of course knows that now the Tang army will not be able to withdraw if it wants to, and the Han and Xiangxiong people will not be able to block this elite impact.

Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived soon, and the Chinese army of Liang Zai's department was replenished in time to replace the Tian Zhen department, which had already suffered quite a lot of casualties, so that they could have a chance to breathe.

At the same time, under the guidance of the Tang people, a large number of manpower catapults were assembled, and the most important thing in the city was manpower, these simple catapults were placed directly under the city wall, and each one was operated by nearly 100 people.

The materials used in the five and seven are all from the city, and some of them are demolished from the house, such as door beams or pillars, and with the use of these catapults, they finally stopped the crazy offensive of the Tibetans.

After all, the damage caused by stones is more direct than that of arrows, and just like that, they finally persevered until dark.

The sound of the trumpet outside the city slowly stopped.
