Chapter 212: Moths to the Fire

After the Bank of China sent three people to cross several miles of fields and streams to urge, the fox baby was forced to send his cronies to lead a group of thieves and moths to attack

The front door was very lively for a while, and it seemed that you were coming and going, but in fact it was just a group of loosely disciplined thieves sending them to death, and most of them rushed to the wall, and they were demoralized by the scattered arrows, and turned around and ran away. The interior of the city is as safe as a rock, and occasionally the robbers are lucky enough to cross over, and they are also quickly surrounded and killed by the people of the country.

At the back door, however, the situation was very different, and the attackers crossed the ravine, adjusted their formation, and began to move briskly and charge. But the arrows above them did not stop, and the soldiers lowered their heads and shot fiercely, especially the armorers with swords and shields and the apprentices who carried the ladders.

This kind of arrow fired at close range can even penetrate shields and leather armor, and many armorers fall to their knees directly after being hit by arrows.

At this point, the attackers have already paid for almost a hundred casualties!

But that's the end of it......

They still maintained the five-column formation, and still had a numerical advantage.

It seems that providence no longer favors Zhao Wuxian, and it just so happens that the wind blowing against Zhao Wuxian has stopped. Under Fan Jia's strict orders, Fan's archers reluctantly moved forty or fifty paces away, and began to throw arrows at the watchtower, pressing them into village soldiers, forcing them to hide with their waists, unable to raise their heads to aim, and could only occasionally place a few arrows through the gap under their feet.

News came from the front door, and the attack of the bandits was once again repulsed, and there was no threat. So Zhao Wuxian asked Yang Yurong to lead more than 100 Chinese and savages to stay behind, and the remaining spearmen quickly rushed to the back door!

"As the ancients said, one blow. Then decline, three and exhaustion! This first drum attack. Must be captured! ”

On the other side of the battle formation, the Bank of China looked at his own soldiers who had suffered many casualties. With a dark face, he said such a sentence to the young man Yu Rang who was waiting beside him, and then raised the drumstick again.

The attackers were already approaching their destination, and the ladders were on the top of the wall, making the sound of wood and stone colliding. The drum beat again, and the armorer in front was about to climb with a shield in one hand and the other hand, but he heard the crisp voice of a young man coming from the watchtower.

"The armor is climbing the wall!"

Then, there was a gong that frightened them, and it was the same before. Whenever the gong sounds, something bad will happen. The attacker even has a conditioned reflex, and when he hears a sound, he must bow his head.

Sure enough, there was immediately a continuous order from inside the wall: "Splash! ”

The people outside the wall secretly said that something was wrong and shouted loudly, but the colleagues behind them had already pressed over one after another, like moths attached to the wall as wide as a hundred paces, as many as a hundred.

Right now. Everywhere inside the wall, a burst of clear, white smoke boiling water poured out on everyone, causing a burst of ghost crying wolf howl.

Though their armor is thick, it cannot be penetrated by arrows from afar. The weak spear can't get in, but it's not airtight, and the seamless water can get in. Boiling water is poured. The armor suddenly felt a hot pain from head to toe. Where can I take care of climbing the wall, I can only let go. Rolling on the ground with his head in his hands.

A burst of arrogant laughter sounded inside the wall: "Rats, Naigong is burning you to death!" ”

But it was Tian Ben, who was forced by Zhao Wuxian to go to the township temple to treat his injuries, and after he wrapped a circle of bloodstained Ge cloth, he jumped over from nowhere. Just in time for the people of Guoye to splash boiling water with a wooden bucket under the order of Zhao Wuxian, which is his favorite thing to do, he went over to help, but during the process, he almost stepped on the kettle on the stove.

Zhao Wuxian saw him dancing with his hands, and secretly said that although this person had no head and no brains, he could also add a combat power here, and with great momentum, he didn't drive him, but only kicked him behind. At the same time, he also said to Cheng Jun, who was following him: "The ancients are full of energy, and then decline, and then exhausted!" This first attack has been stopped by us. ”

Outside the wall, a total of more than a dozen armor soldiers were splashed blind, peeled off, and blistered with blood, completely losing their combat effectiveness. In general, this is just a drop in the bucket, boiling water does not even burn people, and the greater effect is to demoralize the enemy.

However, this could not stop the opposing brigade commander from continuing to attack, and after a moment's pause, the second drum quickly sounded again.

The attackers gritted their teeth and faced the wails and screams of their wounded comrades, and their hearts palpitated, but also produced a heart of mourning. They were the soldiers of the Zhongxing clan who were trained in their daily lives, and they didn't believe that this low wall could stop them.

The boiling water has just been poured over one pot, and the next pot is too late to boil.

So they marched again, and rushed forward one after another, mourning the soldiers, and they would win!

Zhao Wuxian also knew this, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Ge spearman, sword and shield hand, step forward!" ”

He said to Cheng Shu: "You go to the back row, take two people to supervise the formation, if there is a weak enemy who tries to escape, behead!" ”

The countrymen and savages behind the wall retreated in response to the order, and by the way, they stepped on the bonfire of the stove that boiled water, so as not to cause chaos. Then, many people directly drew their weapons, picked up their bows and arrows, and followed behind the spearmen and personal guards who were in an orderly manner, and acted as a reserve.

The wall with a fence is only two people high, and if no one stops the enemy, it is easy to climb over.

About to face to face with the enemy, everyone's breathing was a little nervous, and Zhao Wuxian was also standing on the front line with a thick armor, so that they could see themselves.

Instead of using a sword, he found a blunt weapon called a short sword, held it in his hand, and looked at the wall quietly, while shouting: "Spearman, prepare, sword and shield hand, squat!" ”

The ladder is limited, and the enemy's five columns are only more than a hundred steps wide when spread out under the corner of the wall. And every ten steps, Zhao Wuxian arranged a Wu spearman, three of whom held Ge in the front, and two of whom held spears in the back. After receiving the order, they raised their weapons in unison and aimed them at the head of the wall as the first row of defenders.

And every twenty steps, Zhao Wuxian arranged another army of sword and shield men, led by Mu Xia, half-squatting on the ground, ready to block the enemy who missed the spearmen and crossed the wall to attack the lower plate.

Behind the soldiers, there were more than a hundred countrymen and savages armed with various weapons, sealing all the gaps in case a brave enemy broke through the encirclement of swords, shields and spears. Tian Ben is also among them. This evil boy who likes to wield both hands has a two-foot short sword in one hand, and his red eyes are eager to try.

On the left wall. A head popped up first. The gun shot the first bird, just revealing the bun and scarf. Before he could see his face, the guard on this side gave a loud shout, pecked the two Ge together, and then a spear also stabbed diagonally, poking the man's head into a rotten watermelon, and he fell back with a scream of pain.

The first battle was won, and everyone was cheered up, and they felt that there was nothing difficult. Zhao Wuxian was about to shout to encourage everyone, at this moment. On his side, another armorer with a shield appeared, and the poplar shield in his hand blocked the attack of a spear, and then jumped down!

Zhao Wuxian was about to step forward to stop him, but he was preempted by Mu Xia, who had been secretly protecting him.

The guards are tall and strong, wearing armor, which seems to be bulky, but in fact they are exquisite. The thick poplar shield in his left hand collided with the armor warrior in the same posture, and where the armor warrior was his opponent, he was directly shocked by the huge force and sat down to the ground. The arm is numb.

Then, Mu Sha's right hand was heavily slammed down, directly knocking over the armor soldier with a shield, and his chest and abdomen were sunken. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and it seemed that it was not alive.

Mu Xia turned his back to Zhao Wuxian, and said angrily through the curtain urn: "The gentleman once said. Each performs his duties, and the gentleman's position is in the rear. There are subordinates in front, and they will be able to defend this place! ”

The battle on this side. It also attracted the five spearmen on the right, and they knew that Zhao Wuxian was beside them, so while guarding their positions, they also paid attention to the safety of the gentleman.

Fang Cai's battle, they wanted to go over and support. Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle over there ended, the five of them had not turned their faces back, and on the wall in front of them, an enemy apprentice with a short sword in his mouth quickly jumped onto the wall.

The five spearmen saw that they couldn't see it well, and hurriedly stabbed their weapons in unison, trying to force the apprentice down.

However, eighty percent of the apprentices had learned from the swordsman before, and he was as dexterous as a chickadee, dodging all the spears. Then he leaped down and stabbed with his sword at close range, wounding one of his opponents.

The spears are suitable for long-range combat, and once they are close to this sword-wielding enemy, these spearmen are dangerous. The four of them subconsciously wanted to take a step back, leaving room for attack.

Zhao Wuxian is in a hurry, at this moment, you must not retreat! Take a step back, and the enemy will be able to cram one more person's space. Seeing that there was about to produce a loophole here, at this moment, a figure jumped over, it was Tian Ben!

If the apprentice was like a chickadee, Tian Ben was as fierce as an eagle, and he raised his sword and stabbed the apprentice in the chest. Then he lifted his kick and kicked him against the wall, and threw out a short sword and nailed him to death.

"The gentleman once said, each performs his duties, the gentleman's position is in the rear, and there are subordinates in front, and he will be able to defend here!"

He also learned from Mucha and howled.

Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly felt that in this battle array where arrows were flying and spears were coming and going, he had Tiger and Wolf minions such as Mu Xia and Tian Ben available, but he was as safe as a rock.

He also put away his plan to take the lead and inspire the morale of the people, and put it in front of him, but let his subordinates worry and not be able to play it completely.

So Wuxian retreated to the rear side by side with Cheng Tuo, and while picking up the bow and winding it, he shouted:

"Don't rush to the top, come one by one! First the spear, then the sword and shield, if there is a person who slips through the net, the people will surround and kill it! ”

With that, an arrow shot to death a soldier who had climbed up the wall and had just exposed his forehead.

But soon, he was overwhelmed, and one by one, the attackers were like mushrooms emerging after rain, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of enemies had already climbed to the top of the wall and jumped down.

But inside the wall, there are two capable generals, Mucha and Tian Ben, who are like two pillars, firmly fixing the defender's position. And the spearmen, who had been flustered for a while because of their inexperience at the beginning, also became steady and skilled after seeing blood.

Yes, killing people is indeed a skill that makes perfect through practice, and Zhao Wuxian agrees with this.

The three lines of defense he arranged began to harvest the enemy's lives in a very orderly manner, but the other party was not an ordinary person, and the situation of changing lives appeared again and again, and the arrows fired from the outside also caused a lot of casualties to everyone.

The attackers were killed and wounded hundreds, as were the people inside the walls.

Moth attachment, is the ancients in the observation of the natural moth to fight the fire, for this siege method to take the image of the metaphor: although the moth is small, but if the number is enough, the earth can be overwhelmed, can extinguish the fire.

But what if the fire is strong and the fire is blazing? No amount of moths will help.

With all the benefits of the "Oath of Success" promised by Zhao Wuxian before the war, there will be brave men under the heavy reward. This was followed by a succession of successes at the front door, and the back door, when he was under his command, also inflicted an incredible suppression on the superior enemy.

Therefore, at this time, the morale of the villagers in Yizhong was high, and they became more and more brave after seeing the blood, and with them in front of Zhao Wuxian, no matter how many moths came, it was useless.

The morale of the enemy outside the walls was declining dramatically, although now with the cooperation of the archers, there were few arrows overhead. But they were urging the next assault to the beat of the drum, only to be repelled again and again by the guards behind the wall silently but firmly.

This low wall seems to never be able to break through, and even the bravest people will inevitably fall into despair.

As a result, the attack gradually fell into weakness and low ebb, and they were at the urging of the soldiers, and they did not want to fight any longer, and no longer tried to climb over. Instead, through the wall, there was a silent confrontation with the people inside the wall, and the drumming on the opposite side also stopped for a while.

It seems to be deflated, and it seems that something is brewing.

Indeed, the conductor who had been fighting with Zhao Wuxian for a long time had not given up, and the third time, when the drum beat for the third time, Xing Ao on the watchtower also reported the news again:

"Gentleman, be careful! It's a pile! (To be continued......)
