Chapter 962: Ten Faces
At this time, although the sun has risen high, the sky is as blue as a clear spring, just like the sky of my hometown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gullu, who jumped high and slipped on all fours, almost as his back spine began to slide down against the wall, he just raised his eyes to look at the blue sky, and then he also saw a flower, as if he had returned to his youth.
The sky was so blue that it was so blue that people lost their souls, and in a trance Guriru returned to chewing sweet grass stalks in his mouth, holding a warm lamb in his arms, smirking at the slave girl who was herding sheep with him, and watching her sit with a sweet smile and carefully weave garlands from small wildflowers.
At that moment, it seemed that everything in heaven and earth became vivid because of the girl's red face, and it became Guliru's deepest memory.
"Boom!"
With a crisp sound, an oncoming one, but it narrowly crossed the tip of Guriru's nose, and then on the bluestone slab beside him, he forcibly rubbed out a spark of the god arm bow and crossbow, which instantly pulled Guriru back from his memory, and Gullu only had time to fight hard to insert the war knife in his hand into the grease-filled stone slab a few times, although it did not stabilize the downward trend of his body, but it also made him slow down the kinetic energy of the impact a little, so when he slid down the top of the city wall, his body landed closer to the city wall than normal, Therefore, when he rolled heavily on the ground with a rotation of almost 720 degrees, he just happened to pass by a spike more than five feet long.
But even so, this blow also knocked Gu Liru very hard, and he only felt that his whole body was shocked and his eyes were black, and he lost consciousness.
As mentioned above, Huang Jie's Lingbao is a standard five-pointed star-shaped (☆), and it is not the form of Lingbao in the form of a diamond-shaped fortress that was added or subtracted on the basis of Sifang City in later generations. The biggest advantage of this standard five-pointed star-shaped rhombore design is that no matter what direction the enemy attacks from, it will be hit by flank fire.
And this five-pointed star-shaped rhombic fort is not solid, the whole building is built with prefabricated components of iron-reinforced concrete triple soil, the lower part of the wall is filled and compacted, and the upper part is all hollow structure, and the garrison is usually stationed.
In the event of a battle, not only the five corners and ten sides of the entire Lingbao are battle surfaces, but the ten faces facing the interior are actually battle surfaces, so this Lingbao can be said to be a "ten-sided ambush" in the complete sense!
As for the hollow design of the five corners, it can also be seen as a design specially designed for the Yin people, making the top of the city wall into a closed large slope, not only grinding and polishing the stone but also pouring grease during the war, and digging a pit in the ground and burying spikes, waiting for the enemy to fall down and either fall into a meat patty, or be dressed as a human meat skewer.
However, these passive designs alone are naturally far from enough, of course, Huang Jie has to do everything to add a layer of insurance, that is, to arrange shooters on the inner wall, to make up for those who refuse to slip on the wall when they see the opportunity, or fall into the pit but do not fall to their deaths.
So when Guriru climbed to the top of the city wall and came out, the archers who were on standby inside the city wall naturally discovered him.
Not to mention what fate Guriru will face in the future, but also said that when he stepped on a long ladder and jumped high to the head of Tangchi Fort, his posture was naturally seen clearly by both the enemy and our armies.
On the defenders' side, among the long-range shooters who were subordinate to the upper and lower left arm (that is ★, the inner wall of the left corner of the sharp corner facing downwards) who wielded the Divine Arm Bow, there were almost three overly nervous archers who immediately pulled the firing suspension of the Divine Arm Bow in their hands against the leaping Guriru, and it was also a loss that this guy was really fatal, and as soon as his foot hit the ground, he was slipped by the grease on the slope, but because of this, he avoided the doom of the sharp arrow piercing his body.
However, many of the Jin troops who followed them were not so lucky, and after Guriru, one after another, some people dodged the ruyi stick spur attacks on the way up and climbed to the top of the city. But it was often the fears that were overcome on the inner wall and the dull mood of the archers who were overcome and calmed down one after another with the Divine Arm Bow.
Although there was still some luck that was a little better, and I saw the opportunity to hold the wall to stabilize my body, I still couldn't stand the steady stream of colleagues who climbed up behind me, and then I had to slide down the slope like a gourd rolling on the ground.
To tell the truth, the group of defenders guarding Tangchi Fort have been training in Hebei for more than a year, but today they are generally watching the enemy really plant on the slope like a slide as they did when they were training.
It is also said that at this time, the same repertoire is being staged in both the upper left and right corners of Tangchi Fort, but no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to see whether this siege battle can be won or lost.
For a time, the enemy and our armies were like a rainbow, the Jin army looked at the continuous people climbing the city, naturally they couldn't help but shout and cheer, and the Song army defending the city also kept watching the enemy troops who climbed the city like dumplings and constantly falling into the trap, and they were also excited to applaud loudly.
So much so that the Jin army, after seeing that someone had climbed the tower, ordered to send four thousand people to rush to Tangchi Fort again. Although from their point of view, they couldn't see what happened to the soldiers after they landed on the top of the city, but this did not prevent them from making up for the fierce bloody battles of the soldiers of the "Bo Jin Army" who rushed to the top of the city at this time.
The four thousand troops reinforced by the Jin army were still divided into two ways, rushing towards the upper left and upper right corners of Tangchi Fort, and the four thousand troops reinforced in the follow-up were not heavy armored foot soldiers, but light infantry with short soldiers, simple leather armor and bows and arrows on their backs, so the speed at which they rushed up was also extremely fast, because at this time the defenders in the city bed crossbows had entered the free fire mode, and naturally did not launch an effective salvo to intercept the reinforced Jin army, so these four thousand people did not even use the previous "Bo Jin Army" The soldiers traveled a distance of 1,500 in half the time to the foot of the city wall.
After arriving at the foot of the city wall, the reinforced Jin army picked up the shield weapons dropped by the dead "Bo Jin Army" that fell to the ground to strengthen the defense, and at the same time also took off the bow and arrow on the body and shot at the shooting port on the city wall, which could also cause a certain suppressive effect on the defenders.
As soon as they saw that the defenders of Tangchi Fort were suppressed, the reinforcements of the Jin army who had killed the city also flocked to the foot of the siege ladder even more frantically, and rushed to the head of the city in line.
