Chapter 68: Lift the World to Save Me (4)

Wang Feng's complexion changed suddenly, and his mouth, which had been open, closed again.

He took a deep breath and held his breath for a moment before exhaling heavily.

"Defend the city!"

……

Liu Xiu stood on top of the city head of Kunyang, supervising the defenders at the head of the city busily reinforcing the city wall, installing rolling logs, and setting up a stove and oil pot.

His heart was filled with gratitude. If it weren't for the 10,000 cavalry sent by the Xinmang army, perhaps Wang Feng would have ordered a retreat in the direction of Wancheng at that time. However, the soldiers in the city were mainly foot soldiers, and they could not outrun four legs on two legs. If you still try to retreat to Wancheng at this moment, you will only be chased and killed by the tail.

But I don't know if it was revenge, Liu Xiu and his Chungling army were arranged on the north city wall. The enemy is coming from the north, and this is bound to be the most stressed position.

Liu Xiu looked to the north outside the city, three days ago, the 10,000 vanguard cavalry sent by the Xinmang army had arrived under the city, and after circling Kunyang three times in a threatening manner, they set up camp in the south of the city. And yesterday, the army in the rear has also arrived in Kunyang.

Endless armies, like mountains and seas. The front team has arrived at the bottom of the city, but the back team is still far away. Such a terrifying amount is something Liu Xiu has never seen before.

After the Xinmang army arrived, they quickly surrounded Kunyang in the middle, and then set up camp and surrounded it. At this moment, the small Kunyang is like a reef in the sea, and it seems that it may be extinguished by the waves at any time.

The enemy had not yet begun to attack the city, but Liu Xiu had already felt the pressure like a dark cloud, which was the murderous aura emitted by the appearance of the 400,000 elite troops, so thick that it was enough to detect it here.

Liu Xiu looked at Kunyang City, which was low under his feet, and took a deep breath.

"Brother, this time, it's time for me to protect you!"

……

In the early morning of the second day, the Forces nouvelles finally attacked.

The city wall of Kunyang is only two zhang high, and even after the reinforcement in the past three days, it has not been raised much. At such a height, the new Mangjun army didn't even need to make a rushing car, but a group of ten people, carrying a ladder and rushing towards the city wall.

The defenders in the front row above the city wall kept pushing the ladder with the long pole in their hands, wrestling with the soldiers carrying the ladder under the city. The archers in the back row were constantly raining arrows forward. They didn't aim and they didn't need to aim. In the case of the soldiers of the new army who were densely swarming under the city, they could shoot any feathered arrows at will.

Although there were archers under the city to suppress the city, they needed accurate aiming, and it was inconvenient to shoot from the back, so although the feathered arrows flew overhead, the defenders at the head of the city only occasionally splattered blood and fell with feathered arrows.

Liu Xiu clenched his long sword and shouted loudly at the head of the city to supervise the battle. Ren Guang held two shields in his hand, carefully guarding in front of him, and from time to time blocked the feather arrows for Liu Xiu. Leaving Liu Xiu's side, Liu Xiu, the young master, is the object he needs to protect the most.

"Roll the wood! Splash oil! ”

Seeing that the enemy army had gradually erected a lot of ladders and was climbing up the steps, Liu Xiu roared loudly.

Thick logs were thrown from the top of the city and rolled down the ladders. The soldier who held his sword in his mouth and crawled up on his hands and feet was hit by the heavy rolling log, and was crushed all the way to the ground, splashing with blood and flesh. Some of the rolling logs directly smashed the ladder, and the soldiers on the ladder waved their limbs in mid-air and screamed and fell, trying to grab something, but in the end they could only fall to the ground hard, and then smashed into a pile of rotten flesh with an indistinct shape by the falling logs.

A fire had already been set up at the head of the city, and the hot oil pot was boiled. The soldiers next to the oil pot wrapped their hands in thick cloths, carried the oil pot in pairs, and splashed boiling oil from the city. When the boiling oil touched the skin, it was filled with huge blisters and ulcers, and the soldiers who were climbing the ladder facing each other were often splashed with boiling oil head-on, and their whole faces were burned into a mess, and their wails were like evil spirits in hell.

But there were also soldiers of the New Army who were brave enough to be lucky enough to dodge all attacks and rush up the city walls from the ladder. However, even if he was able to climb the city wall successfully, he still ended up falling from the head of the city under the sword and spear that was stabbing him.

After more than 2,000 lives, the morale of the Forces nouvelles had weakened, and the offensive could no longer continue, so they had to withdraw their troops.

"Hold the ......" Liu Xiu looked at the sun in the sky, and it was already in the middle. Since early morning, it has been a whole morning.

"Hold on for the day...... No, maybe half a day. Li Tong stood behind him, leaning his body with his long sword, and said with a wry smile. Although his identity is a wise man, his swordsmanship is quite passable. At this moment, it is natural that he will also go to the city to participate in the war. One of his long shirts had been changed into a short robe, and he was covered in armor and stained with blood.

"Will there be another one in the afternoon?" Liu Xiu also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought they were going to give up today." ”

"There are enough human lives, so naturally I am not afraid to fill them......" Li Tong took the water bladder from his waist, drank it in a big gulp, and threw it to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu took the water bladder and poured water with his neck on his back like Li Tong. After drinking, he sighed with satisfaction: "Then let them fill it!" Fill them until they run out of lives! ”

"I just want ...... It's not like we're going to run out first. Li Tong muttered in a low voice.
