Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Siege (2)

At the city wall of Shenqiu, the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hundreds of red-turban soldiers, under the cover of the rain of arrows behind them, and under the leadership of Elder Shi, holding shields made of hardwood, climbed the long ladder of siege and rushed to the city wall as if they were forgetting their lives.

However, the resistance of the officers and soldiers on the city wall was equally fierce, and countless rolling stones and sassal trees were thrown down by the officers and soldiers defending the city, although many officers and soldiers were shot by the Red Turban Army outside the city, but those Red Turban Army who were attached to the siege of the city also suffered great damage.

Where more than a dozen siege ladders were erected, at this time, it was simply a dozen huge flesh and blood furnaces, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides, blood seemed to have become the only color at this time, and the wailing roar had become the only sound on the battlefield.

……

On the city wall, Mr. Li's bodyguard, the standard Mongolian warrior Naiyan. At this time, he was also wearing a pair of iron armor, holding a large iron cone weighing about thirty or forty pounds in his hand, and more than twenty sturdy armored soldiers, who were standing quietly behind Mr. Li.

Nai Yan's sharp eyes swept around from time to time, although he saw the fighting between the officers and soldiers and the Red Turban Army, and the weapons in his hands were also tightly clenched, but he didn't have any thoughts of helping this group of officers and soldiers, because in Nai Yan's heart: "The safety of the master is the most important thing, as for the life and death of this group of officers and soldiers, what does he have to do with it." ”

Therefore, he has been fulfilling the duty of a guard at this time, that is, to protect his master.

And when Naiyan wholeheartedly protected Mr. Li, Mr. Li also put all his mind on the battle situation in front of him.

"Although he said that he had done everything perfectly enough before the start of the war, when the war really happened, he was still a little worried, after all, he couldn't have known what kind of virtue this group of officers and soldiers was."

"Although he cut off their back route to the enemy, and inspired their courage by putting them to death, this does not change the essence of this group of officers and soldiers, if the Red Turban Army outside the city is all soldiers on the battlefield, then it is impossible for this group of officers and soldiers to resist their attack for ten days."

Therefore, for this battle, this Mr. Li is not as strategicistic as he shows, and there is also an element of gambling, but what he is betting on is not how good the officers and soldiers can be, but how bad the Red Turban Army outside the city can be.

But now it seems that it is okay, Mr. Li is right, the Red Turban Army is not so strong, even Han Yan'er, who is known as the first brave general of the Red Turban, about half of the soldiers under his command are farmers who have just put down their weapons. In addition, although Han Yan'er is a general in name, he is not too brilliant in commanding operations, so when the war has developed to this day, Mr. Li's worries have gradually receded.

Seeing that it had been almost an hour since the war began, and the Red Turban Army had not been able to touch the city wall, Mr. Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, unlike Mr. Li's relaxation on the city wall, Han Erwu, who was commanding the battle outside the city, couldn't help frowning when he looked at the scorching battle situation in front of him. "Damn, what kind of fucking medicine have these Shenqiu officers and soldiers taken?" Looking at the scorching battle situation in front of him, Han Erwu couldn't help but scold in his heart.

I don't blame Han Erwu for scolding like this, after all, the officers and soldiers in Shenqiu are so strange one by one, the officers and soldiers who were originally afraid of death in other places are more than one in Shenqiu, they will be the courage of the army, and they don't even want to die when the officers start a battle, let alone the soldiers below.

Because of this, it has been almost half an hour since the war started, and the Red Turban Army has almost a hundred dead, but they can't even go up the city wall.

And it is said that the battle has reached this point, and Han Erwu can be regarded as having completed the task, after all, he is just here to try the other party's methods.

But when he went back like this, even if he tried the other party's means, he Han Erwu couldn't hold it on his face, after all, there was an outsider like Zhang Shihua watching behind him.

So as soon as he thought of this, Han Erwu couldn't help but lose his temper, pulled out his sword and shouted to the guards beside him: "Brothers, the meritorious service is in the present day, and I will fuck him with my brother." After saying that, I wanted to go into battle in person with my personal guards.

I have to say that when Han Erwu was angry, he had to go down in person to fight with others, but he really looked like his eldest brother Han Yan'er.

However, this time, his personal soldiers did not follow him like Han Yan'er's personal soldiers.

I saw a tall guard stop in front of Han Erwu and said loudly: "General, don't be in a hurry, kill chickens with a knife, such a small city, it is enough to have villains in battle." ”

To say, ordinary people would definitely disdain Han Erwu when they said this, but when this burly man stood up, Han Erwu couldn't help but stop.

This burly man's name is Niu Er, and he is also the most brave and combative person under Han Erwu, and even if it is one-on-one, Han Erwu is not the opponent of this burly man.

So Han Erwu looked at Niu Er, who stopped him, and after a pause, he also said loudly: "Okay, Brother Niu is so courageous, even so, it will be up to Brother Niu." ”

When Niu Er heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he didn't forget to clasp his fists and say to Han Erwu: "Then please ask the general to be here and watch the villain take this city for the general." After saying this, Niu Er took his sword and shield and walked towards the city wall with a few soldiers.

Although he was leaving, Niu Er's speed was still very fast, and he took a few old soldiers who were good at fighting, and after a while, he rushed to the nearest siege ladder to him.

And the soldiers at the long ladder, when they saw Niu Er coming, immediately made a place for Niu Er. At this time, the nearby red turban archers also increased their coverage of Niu Er's side under Han Erwu's order, and dozens of bows and arrows continued to shoot, so that the officers and soldiers guarding the city over there couldn't raise their heads.

And talking about Niu Er, under the full cover of the archers, Niu Er glanced at the city wall, and then put the war knife in his mouth. Then Niu Er climbed up the siege ladder, and when Niu Er got on the ladder, he saw that Niu Er's right hand was constantly climbing the ladder, and his left hand was also holding a shield high, thinking that it was a cover for his body.

Niu Er's speed is very fast, and the walls of Shenqiu City are not too high, so in just a few calls for help, Niu Er has already climbed half of it.

But at this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall also noticed Niu Er who was about to climb the city wall, although the arrows on this side of the city wall were still very tight at this time, but in order to stop Niu Er, the officers and soldiers couldn't care so much.

I saw several officers and soldiers using big shields to cover two soldiers holding stones and trees, against the dense arrows, two officers and soldiers holding stones and trees high, ready to throw Niu Er on the long ladder, but just when the two soldiers were about to throw Niu Er, an arrow happened to pass through the gap in the shield and shot the officer and soldier holding the stone.

However, although an officer and soldier were shot, the soldier holding the sassaga wood still succeeded in throwing the heavy sassafra wood in his hand to Niu Er, who was climbing.

The already extremely heavy sandalwood, coupled with the fact that it was thrown down by someone in the air, the strength can be imagined, so that the red turban soldiers under the city couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations and sighs when they saw this scene, because they already had too many good brothers who were stoned to death by officers and soldiers like this.

And let's talk about Niu Er, long before the officers and soldiers under the city exclaimed, Niu Er put all his attention on the officer and soldier who was going to throw him, so the moment the sagile wood fell, Niu Er had already adjusted his spirit to the peak.

And when the sagile wood smashed into him, Niu Er did not choose to sit still, but roared angrily and concentrated the strength of his whole body on his left arm, and slammed into the sagile wood with a tendency to see death as if he were at home.

You must know that Niu Er is a person born with divine power, and his blow that concentrates all his strength is naturally extremely terrifying, and he actually let Niu Er block the sassalwood and throw it out in a way that dissipates his strength.

And the red turban soldiers who originally thought that Niu Er would die under the city couldn't help but let out an earth-shattering cry when they saw such a scene, and some fanatical White Lotus disciples, even at this time, shouted out the words of King Ming's protection in an excited voice.

Obviously, this group of people connected Niu Er's extraordinary performance to the gods.
