Chapter 78: The City is in the People
The city of Ruzhou in the morning fog loomed, and this fog was simply adding fuel to the fire for the defenders of Ruzhou.
Dong Hanxun stood at the head of the city with a solemn face, looking at the city motionlessly, his tall figure was as steady as a mountain.
Behind him, there were five or six hundred soldiers wearing bright light armor, standing tall as pines and looking like tigers.
Although there were only five or six hundred of them, the momentum that could emanate from them was no different from thousands of troops.
"Are you afraid?"
Dong Hanxun's voice was calm and slow, as if he was saying something inconsequential.
A big man with eyebrows like ink hugged his fists and said: "As long as you can follow General Dong, even if you die, the last general will not be afraid!" ”
"Don't be afraid!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the cry shook the sky.
Dong Hanxun's body trembled suddenly, slowly turned around, his eyes swept over the soldiers, gritted his teeth and said: "Today's fog, the grass thieves will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, they have many soldiers, we may not be alive today, if any of you are afraid, you can leave now." ”
The soldiers raised their heads and remained motionless.
Dong Hanxun was silent for a moment, exhaled a long breath, turned his back, and looked out of the city.
Outside the city, the fog is thick, and the eyes cannot be far away.
In the thick fog, Yang Yifan took the lead, broke through the fog, and was heading towards the city where Dong Hanxun was located.
Behind him, thousands of soldiers were wearing armor and walking like flying! Some of them held strong bows, some held large swords, some carried ladders, some pushed catapults, and some carried flying tiger claws......
The Great War is imminent!
The cavalry battalion under the command of Fang Chengtian was all cavalry, and it could not be used to attack the city, so it had to follow Yang Yifan's army from a distance.
"Kill~~~"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the city.
"Whoosh~~~"
Then, hundreds of feathered arrows whistled from the city.
Although there is a thick fog to cover the eyes, the sound of thousands of people marching with various siege equipment is not small, and Dong Hanxun at the head of the city is not deaf, so he can naturally hear it.
It's a pity that although he is not deaf, he is blind, and under the thick fog, he can't see how far the righteous army is.
After a rain of arrows, there was no response, and Dong Hanxun seemed to realize that the distance was not enough, and temporarily stopped the bow and arrow attack.
"Kill~~~"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the city, and suddenly thunderous footsteps, "booming" wheels, and hissing shouts of killing broke out under the city.
Fang Chengtian reined in the war horse, frowned, and looked straight ahead.
Although he couldn't see anything, he could imagine that the city must have been lined with ladders, and the soldiers were climbing towards the wall like an ant tide, and arrows came and went, killing and wounding countless people!
The sun gradually rose, and from the fog, it was as red as blood!
"Rolling wood, gold juice ready!" With a loud shout from the head of the city, a stench of smoked death, mixed with the smell of blood, suddenly spread from the foot of the city.
The terrible scream, accompanied by the sound of shouting and killing, reached Fang Chengtian's ears, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said in his heart: "The city has become a hell on earth at this moment!" ”
The sun is getting higher and higher, the fog is gradually fading, and in the haze, it can be seen that the city has become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the soldiers of the righteous army are still rushing to the city one after another.
"Whoosh~~~" A head-sized stone roared and flew towards the city, on the city wall, a soldier who had no time to dodge suddenly broke his head and bled down, crying and screaming.
The rebels' catapults have attacked!
More than a dozen catapults were launched at the same time, and the deadly stones were whistling and smashing on the city wall one after another, only to see the stone chips flying in all directions on the city wall, sparks splashing indiscriminately, and the hard city wall battlements were also cracked by the big stones, and most of the soldiers who were smashed by the stones died on the spot.
Siege warfare, which is listed as the bloodiest confrontation, is not unreasonable!
At this moment, there was also a shocking shout of killing from the east and west of the city.
Li Daniu rubbed his hands, looked at Fang Chengtian excitedly, hugged his fists and said: "General Fang, please lead a team of men and horses to attack the city gate!" ”
Fang Chengtian turned his head to look at him, shook his head, and said, "When General Yang breaks through the city gate, let's go up again!" ”
"Yes!" Li Daniu clenched his fists in response, and looked at the city with a look of unwillingness.
Fang Chengtian sighed: "Brother Li, don't worry, no matter how great the credit is, it is not as important as our brother's life!" ”
Gao Shiyuan also patted Li Daniu on the shoulder and said, "General Fang is right, wait a little longer!" ”
"Look~~" Zhang Zhengfei's surprised voice suddenly sounded, "Who is that person?" The archery is accurate! ”
Fang Chengtian couldn't help but follow the direction of his finger and looked at the head of the city, and saw that there was a tall soldier wearing golden bright light armor on the head of the city, with a bow and three arrows, shooting at the city without stopping.
In less than a moment, dozens of volunteers died under his arrows.
"General Dong is mighty!!"
The morale of the Tang troops at the head of the city was suddenly greatly boosted, and rolling logs, gold juice, and boulders kept throwing down the city.
The offensive of the rebel army was suddenly frustrated, and the soldiers stopped one after another, not daring to act rashly for a while, and some even turned around and ran back!
Yang Yifan frowned, and said loudly: "Pro-barracks, up!" ”
"Driving~~~"
Amid the shouts one after another, thousands of soldiers rode their horses and rushed towards the fleeing rebel soldiers, and after catching up, they slashed them without saying a word.
"Retire, die! Enter, divide the money and divide the woman! ”
The fatal retreat punishment, the vulgar offensive reward, once again summoned the blood of the rebel soldiers, rushed forward like a surge.
A one-eyed leader of the rebels, under the protection of his companions to death, finally rushed to the head of the city, roared loudly, and slashed the Tang army guards on the head of the city with a big knife in his hand.
Under the leadership of this one-eyed leader, a large part of the city was occupied by the rebels.
Dong Hanxun's face changed greatly, he abandoned his bow and arrows, held a spear, and rushed over, suddenly like a wolf into a flock, and those volunteers who rushed up were picked up by him one by one.
The one-eyed leader roared and rushed over to fight with Dong Hanxun, and the sound of clanging was endless.
Dong Hanxun suddenly fell into the siege of volunteers, and was led by the one-eyed leader, and he was accidentally stabbed in the back!
He shot backhanded, piercing the body of the volunteer who attacked him, but at this moment, the one-eyed leader jumped high, roared, and slashed at Dong Hanxun with an axe, which was extremely violent......
He roared, and the spear in his hand suddenly turned around, stabbing upwards in the oblique stab, and just as the one-eyed leader's broadsword was less than three inches close to his head, there was a "poof", and the tip of the spear had pierced the throat of the one-eyed leader.
Quiet, dead still!
Even the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly disappeared at this moment.
The surrounding soldiers, whether it was the Tang Army or the Righteous Army, were all shocked by Dong Hanxun's shot, and they were all stunned!
"Good!" The soldiers of the Tang army shouted loudly and rushed towards the rebels who rushed to the city!
Everyone was stunned to say that it was a long story, but in fact, it was only a breath, Dong Hanxun had already drawn his spear, snatched the big knife in the hand of the one-eyed leader, and cut off the head of the one-eyed leader with one sword.
Then, Dong Hanxun kicked the huge body of the one-eyed leader down to the city, picked up the dead man's head with the tip of his spear, and shouted: "Isn't his neck afraid of swords? Is there a city in the world that cannot be defended? ”
"No, only the unwanted city!" Dong Hanxun threw the head on the tip of the gun off the city wall, carried the gun like a rainbow, rushed back and forth to kill, and in less than half an hour, he overturned all the rebels who climbed to the top of the city.
"The city is here!" Dong Hanxun was shocked, raised the spear in his hand, and said with a proud face, "The city is dead!" General Ben swears to live and die with Ruzhou!
All the soldiers suddenly boiled with blood and roared one after another!
"The city is here!"
