Wancheng city head, a team of soldiers against the city shot from the fire arrows, desperately counterattack, in the middle of each battlement, several captain spearmen dead at the battlement, another number of sword and shield soldiers sit in formation, whenever the city of Shu soldiers will ladder flying claws climb up to the city, with the advantage of the ladder to climb the siege, these people will rush up, the ladder will be cut off, the flying claws are torn off, those Shu soldiers up and down, most of them fall down, a life whimper.
In front of the Shu army, Li Yan saw that the offensive was deadlocked, so he signaled to Zhang Ai on the left flank, Zhang Ai immediately ordered, a horn whined, and rushed out of a heavy armored infantry of no more than five hundred people in the Shu army formation.
"The city gates, broken!"
Zhang Ai took the lead in rushing and killing, and went straight to the city gate, and the five hundred heavily armored foot soldiers formed an iron bucket formation and slowly approached the city gate.
At the head of the city, when Wu Zheng saw this, he suddenly shouted: "Quick, suppress that Shu soldier!" ”
Shouting and hissing, Du Yi led more than 1,000 archers from the battlements to the horizontal tower above the city gate, and shot at the Shu soldiers who were crossing the moat, but the feather arrows were quite brittle, and the heavy armor was useless to touch, a series of three, Zhang Ai's heavy armor foot soldiers only fell a dozen people, and the rest were still as calm as a mountain, that Zhang Ai looked through the iron shield, the city gate was twenty steps away, he immediately roared, the iron bucket array was immediately scattered on both sides, except for the human walls on both sides to resist, more than 100 people in the middle rushed straight to the middle, and in their waists, each hung a fire oil bottle, Running to the city gate more than ten paces, these hundred people threw out the fire oil bottles one after another, let the fire ignite later, and in the blink of an eye, the city gate fell into a sea of fire.
"Damn the Shu army..."
Wu Zheng scolded angrily, and Du Yi was also anxious: "General, I'll go to the top!" ”
Du Yi hissed, immediately led the brothers of the headquarters to run down the city, to the city gate Yongdao to kill, look at this, Wu Zhi hurriedly led the troops to top Du Yi's gap, but the more than ten zhang wide battlement wall section suddenly lost a battalion of brothers, the defense power plummeted by three percent, those Shu soldiers who climbed the wall and attacked had to rush through the air, and instantly broke through three or four battlements, which only made Wu Zhi's heart anxious.
"Where's Zuo Colonel? Captain Zuo, where did you die for Lao Tzu? ”
In the chaos, Wu Zhi slashed the Shu thief, and the blood lines only dyed Wu Zhi into blood, and it took three or four breaths of effort, and a lieutenant ran from under the eaves of the wall behind him with a shield.
"Commander, the drum tower under the face of Dongcheng has been breached..."
Hearing this, Wu Zhi was shocked, and at the same time, the Shu army under the city shot up with a wave of feather arrows, directly covering the battlements where Wu Zhi was, but fortunately, thanks to the rush of Captain Zuo to resist, Wu Zhi did not become a hedgehog.
"Commander, the Shu army is on a strong offensive, we can't withstand it..."
Captain Zuo resisted the shield to protect Wu Zhi, crying and howling, and Wu Zhi pulled Captain Zuo's armor and clothes.
"You must resist it, otherwise the fathers and villagers of Wancheng will be finished!"
The sound of blood was howling, and Captain Zuo couldn't, so he could only lead hundreds of people to run towards the drum tower where the east city wall and the south city wall met.
In the city, Jiang Xu heard the killing momentum at the head of the city, and his heart sank into a thousand catties.
"My lord, can we do it?"
The young man in the city trembled slightly, and Jiang Xu swallowed hard: "If it doesn't work, your wife and children will be abused by Shu thieves..."
"This..."
The men of the Qingzhuang reserve team were all confused, and at the end, Jiang Xu tightly held the three-foot Qingfeng sword in his hand: "Whether it is life or death, you choose for yourself, I won't stop you, if you want to follow your Wang Su County Guard, you can surrender now!" ”
Leaving these words, Jiang Xu led the county soldiers, the errand team, and the people of the regimental training camp to take the first step and run towards the city, as for the men of the young reserves, after a breath, they also followed with waist swords and wooden shields.
"Open the door, open the door!"
At the same time, Meng Xi rushed back to Wancheng in a hurry, in front of the North Gate Cave, Meng Xi shouted, the city head school heard it and hurriedly put down the hanging basket, Meng Xi entered the basket and entered the city, and asked urgently: "How is the war?" ”
"Sir, the Shu army is attacking bravely, it has broken through Weng City, and even several battlements may be lost, and now all the guards of the north city wall have been transferred to the south city!"
The colonel cried and cried, and Rao is Meng Xi scolded angrily: "As a man soldier, his body can be broken, his life can be lost, and his blood can be shed, but cowardice cannot be had!" ”
Frightened, Meng Xi slapped the colonel on the head: "Hold back your tears for me, and now immediately fire the order for reinforcements!" ”
When the little colonel heard this, he hurriedly wiped his face and ran to the oil basin by the wall, and he picked up the oil stick with all his strength and turned it around in the muddy oil basin a few times, so that he could raise it out and lead the flames.
"Swing north, hard!"
Meng Xi shouted, the little colonel did so, about five miles away, Zhang Qi's forward cavalry under the dark curtain saw the direction of Wancheng, the fire shadow at the head of the city shook, because Zhang Qi had an order before, the battalion captain of the first and second teams of the forward immediately accelerated forward, and with a stick of incense, this cavalry spared the west of Wancheng and rushed directly to the front of the Shu army.
"Kill..."
The thunder roared, tearing the horror of the night, in front of the Shu army, Li Yan was directing the schools to prepare for the battle, and the rear force was helping Zhang Ai's heavy armor team, but he didn't want to hear the horse roaring from the west of his flank, which made Li Yan frown and say angrily.
"Wancheng's miscellaneous crumbs still have a backhand?"
"General, the last general will go and defeat them!"
Cheng Xiao immediately asked for battle, Li Yan looked at it with wide eyes, the black shadow in the distance roared, although the force was strong, but Li Yan had been in the army for decades, and he could easily distinguish the general situation of the attacking enemy, so he said: "The elite of the school with you, half an hour, eat them!" ”
"The last will be ordered!" When the words fell, Cheng Xiao rode and rushed to kill with the thousands of horses in his headquarters.
But Li Yan ignored a little battle situation, that is, the cavalry that came to aid was not Wancheng light cavalry, but the elite and warlike cavalry of the Li army in northern Xinjiang, in the several states of Great Xia, only Hexi and the northerners cavalry were the most brave, and now Cheng Xiao with more than 1,000 Shu army elite cavalry against the Li army under the command of Zhang Qi The forward flying cavalry, in the raid machine, the Li cavalry did not have the slightest advantage, because Li Yan did not have the slightest sign of chaos, but in terms of strength, Cheng Xiao was three points behind.
In the dark, Cheng Xiao led his troops to engage Li Cai, one rushed to kill the wrong formation, Cheng Xiao was surprised, these cavalry charged fiercely, turned eagerly, and the absolute power of the old pawn. On the other hand, Li Cai, in the forward battalion captain two against Cheng Xiao, did not take the slightest advantage, but his own array almost showed signs of side and rear tailing, so that the two sides were frightened, and they dispersed with one blow.
Due to the unknown situation, Cheng Xiao suspected that there were killing reinforcements behind this cavalry column, so he couldn't fight steadily, and the forward battalion captain also saw that the Shu army in front of him was difficult, so he swept the edge of the horse speed and threw it, and did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but the three together, the two sides retreated.
