Chapter 387: Bloody Battle to Expand the City

The intruders below who didn't have time to run away were hit one after another, they didn't even have the most basic shields, and it was okay to be hit by a stone on the head, and they could faint to death, and there would be no pain in the future.

But the rest of those who were smashed in the limbs, and those who were doused with hot oil, were uncomfortable, and their miserable howls were quite shocking to the ears of the surviving soldiers around them, but everyone who heard them was all frightened, and they were already unconsciously retreating secretly.

"Don't run, run again, Lao Tzu will cut you!"

One of the intruders saw the archer drop his things and run, and even though he was brandishing his sword, he stepped forward to shout, but he had only taken a few steps when a howling wind came overhead.

As the black shadow grew bigger and bigger, the boulder that was thrown down by the four Shandong soldiers smashed down with a "clang", and the whole person of the leader of the intrusion army was instantly crushed, and even the archers who were closer to him were also hit.

This scene made those archers and intruders who were originally a little hesitant immediately tremble, looked around, and finally scattered and fled regardless of it.

The second siege lasted a little longer than the first, but the final result was the same, leaving thousands of corpses and fleeing in disarray.

......

The Shandong defenders on the city wall of Tuocheng are already a little tired, and many people have taken this opportunity to rest by the battlements, and a very small number of people have been extremely tired, holding the spear and closing their eyes and falling asleep directly.

But at this time, there was a sudden shout of killing outside, and a sentry officer looked over, and sure enough, these thieves were coming again.

"These thieves really don't let people stop."

There was nothing to hesitate, he picked up the steel knife leaning against the wall, kicked the sleeping soldier beside him hard, and shouted with spit flying:

"Don't sleep, the thieves are coming, pull up the wolf fangs and prepare to defend the city!"

This time, the response of the Shandong soldiers was no longer so neat, and it seemed weak, but what remained unchanged was the firmness that came from within the bones.

Hearing this, the soldiers on the four walls stood up stiffly, some of them grabbed the wolf's tooth paddle and prepared to smash the siege ladder, and some put their hands on the stones and oil pots and were ready to throw them down at any time.

"Put!"

With a brief shout, the well-prepared gunners and soldiers set the artillery on fire, and hundreds of guns also stretched out of the battlements and began to fire in a row.

"Bang, bangโ€”"

Several of the intruders who were shouting for the attack seemed to have suffered some blow suddenly, and one of them was overturned and fell, but this did not stop the rest of the intruders from charging.

The kinder ones are to step over the corpses of these fallen soldiers and leave them some chance to survive, while those who don't care about it are stepping on their comrades who are not yet dead, and keep moving forward in order not to be killed by those tigers and wolves behind.

"Bang, knock the door open for Lao Tzu!"

Soon, the intruders once again rushed to the foot of Tuocheng.

This time they seemed to be well prepared, in addition to more ladders being erected on the city walls, and even dozens of people pushing a huge wooden hammer slowly forward.

This wooden hammer is the simplest instrument for storming the city, although it is ineffective and has no protection against the soldiers who push and pull, but it is the most practical for the current intruding army.

Around the wooden hammer were gathered soldiers in yellow scarves and white arrow suits, who were guarding them with simple shields, and rushed towards the city gate.

Standing on the city, Xing Yidao saw this very obvious instrument at a glance, and immediately frowned and asked:

"Haven't the woods outside the city been cut down, where did they get the wooden hammer?"

Hearing this, the thousand chief battalion officers obviously couldn't believe that the number of people who were the number of people to get this simplest siege equipment at this time was like a catastrophe for the Shandong defenders who were already a little exhausted in the city.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Xing Yidao didn't ask any more, grabbed the gunner under his feet, and shouted:

"Target, blast there, don't let them rush to the city!"

The gunner was frightened by the knife, nodded without much thought, and then fired a trembling shot.

The lead bullet fell crookedly into the intruder, killing and wounding a few people, but it had no effect on the advancing wooden hammer.

At this time, the cannons on the extension of the city rang out one after another, and there was only one target, that is, the wooden hammer that was being guarded by the intruders.

Although this kind of dense firepower immediately caused great casualties to the surrounding intruders, this time, they somehow pushed the wooden hammer forward without fear of death.

On the far breakthrough, a sneer lit up on Liu Zongmin's face on the horse.

The wooden hammer marched all the way, leaving behind the corpses of countless intruders along the way, but in the end it still came to the city unhindered.

These are the four corners of the vision, and the artillery can no longer damage them, and can only be stopped by the gunners firing downwards or the soldiers throwing stones and hot oil down.

However, this method is really to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 paths, and if the firecrackers want to cause damage to the intruders who are pushing the hammer at the city gate, they can only shoot their heads downwards desperately.

The same is true of the stones and the soldiers who sprinkled hot oil on the city, risking their lives for every sortie, and often before they could show their heads, they were shot into a hornet's nest by the intruders gathered below to protect the wooden hammers.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Every impact seemed to hit the hearts of every Shandong soldier in the city, and no one knew whether this not heavy city gate could withstand the next impact.

"It can't go on like this..."

Seeing the brave soldiers being shot down by the soldiers under the city, the heart of the torture knife was dripping blood, and many of these people were brought by him from Shandong.

They fought all the way up from Yanding, but in the end they died at the hands of these worthless thieves, it was really not worth it!

"Come on, go down to the city with Ben!"

"General, you still stay in the city, in case the thieves break the city, it's better to go back and tell the marshal, we didn't embarrass the Shandong army!"

But he was stopped by several sentry officers with black and gray faces around him, and many soldiers looked directly at the eagle eyes of the torture knife, without the slightest fear.

"Bring people down to the city and fight with these thieves, the big deal is death!"

After the commander of the Shandong Army's thousand battalions finished speaking, he was about to take a few sentry officers to the city to fight to the death, when Xing Yidao stepped forward to grab him, shook his head and said:

"Once the city is broken, no matter you and me, you can't survive, even if you can't hold it, you can't let the thieves look down on us, the marshal said, there are no generals in the Shandong army who escaped, and I am even more reluctant to be the first one!"

Seeing that the soldiers around him were about to say more, Xing Yidao suddenly lifted the knife, and ran down the city without looking back, just leaving a word.

"You wait to guard the city wall, and you will be blocking the city gate!"
