Chapter 296: Escape from the North Gate
Due to the previous fire, the city tower was burned down, and the crackling wood and rocks flew together, and the steps from the city tower to the city wall at this time had been sealed by the enemy's city wall. Vertex updates are the fastest
The eleven catapults were divided into two ways and kept throwing stones, and basically blocked the enemy's road from both ends of the city wall to the middle of the city, plus there was the cover of smoke and fire, these Shu soldiers who climbed the city wall, almost did not encounter resistance, and took the lead in climbing the city wall.
The difficulty they faced was not the enemy army, but the charcoal still burning all over the ground, and the bricks of the city walls that had been burned hot.
Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, and his whole body was drenched, and the sergeant, who had felt cold and shivering before, was also so hot that he was sweating all over his body at this time, and he relied on the protection of double layers of wet gloves to climb the battlements and climb the city wall.
Then, quickly pour half of the water from the bucket on the ground.
Anyway, after burning for so long, the oil has long been burned out, and there is no need to worry about the spread of the oil fire.
Just listening to the "sizzling" sound, hot steam immediately rose from the top of the city wall, enveloping his whole body. Vertex updates are the fastest
Before he had time to enjoy the steam bath, he put the bucket with half of the water left on the ground and soaked his feet in it.
The water poured on the bricks of the city was about to evaporate, and he didn't want to roast his feet.
Immediately, he drew the crossbow he was carrying at his waist and watched nervously to see if there were still enemies lurking around.
At this time, the second sergeant also climbed up to the top of the city, and like the first sergeant, he poured half of the water on the ground, and then soaked half a bucket of water, drew his hand and sword, and looked around.
There was nothing to be seen, and the mist of water and smoke rising from the ground covered the surroundings tightly.
The third sergeant also came up, and poured half of the water on the wall, but poured the rest of the water on the battlements, and shouted at the two people in front of him: "Don't look at it, it's so hot, if the enemy is still hiding here, I'm afraid it will become a roast pig long ago!" ”
The fourth sergeant followed, and he poured half a bucket of water on the battlements, but he lifted the remaining half bucket, poured it over his head, and said to the two in front of him: "Well, we have poured water several times, and the ground is not so hot." Vertex updates the fastest"
The two men looked at the ground, and the wet place was no longer steaming, and quickly pulled their feet out of the bucket, and poured the rest of the water from their heads, and drenched the clothes that had almost been dried again.
The fourth person laughed: "I've never seen anyone who washes his hair with footwashing water." ”
The fifth man also climbed up, but it was their captain, who looked at the ground, and did not care about their jokes, but quickly poured all his bucket of water on the battlement, and then, lifting the damp cloth wrapped around him, took a bundle of long rope from his waist, tied it to the handle of the bucket, and immediately laid down the city.
The four of them also hurriedly followed, untied the long rope from their bodies, tied the bucket, and put it down again.
Under the outer walls of the city, several sergeants hurriedly stretched out their hands or stretched out long hooks, pulled the bucket over, filled it with water, and then pulled the long rope and pulled it three times. Vertex updates are the fastest
The people of the city sensed it, and immediately carried a bucket full of water to the city with the force of their hands.
Well, the enemy's moat is not completely without benefits.
As more and more soldiers climbed the city wall, the area of the city that was drenched in water and cooled down became larger and larger, and the Shu army already had pikemen, short sword soldiers, crossbowmen, and all kinds of foot soldiers.
They began to chant in unison: "Fight the fire, fight the fire!" ”
And on the other side of the fireworks, as well as in the fire area of the city under the wall, the defenders are still chanting to "put out the fire", much busier than them.
Ge Liang estimated that it was almost done, so he asked all the catapults to be thrown only to the east.
At the same time, let the soldiers who followed the city give the Shu army in the city an order to attack westward.
The fireworks on the west side of the city also stopped immediately.
The sergeants began to seize the opportunity and climbed the city wall at a faster speed to reinforce the sergeants in front. Vertex updates are the fastest
A Shu army general climbed the city wall, immediately organized most of the soldiers, and began to attack along the city wall to the west, but instead of shouting and killing, he led everyone to shout: "The enemy has entered the city!" Everyone, hurry up and run for your life from the north gate! ”
Soon, not only on the city wall, but also in the city, many people began to shout: "Ma Chao's men and horses have come in!" If you don't want to die, run away from the north gate! ”
The Wei guards, who were forced to retreat by the fire and rocks, had already been frightened, and suddenly heard the shouts on the city wall and in the city in the smoke, as if they had been reminded, and many people immediately threw down their weapons and quickly ran under the city wall, wanting to get out of the north gate first, and escape back to Guanzhong.
The Shu army rushed out of the smoke, and while rushing to kill, it still loudly reminded the enemy that if they wanted to survive, they should hurry out of the city.
As soon as Zhang Ji heard the enemy's shouts, he understood what was going on, but in the face of the soldiers who had no intention of resisting, he couldn't organize resistance.
These guys who were beaten by the enemy and lost their courage really can't help themselves, but the enemy's helpers!
Defend the city and defend the city, only a few days? He made a mess and threw the city away.
If you work together, even if a small group of enemies attack the city wall, everyone can resist desperately, and they can be beaten back!
At this time, Ma Chao's department, which was outside the West Gate, also began to set up a ladder and officially launched an attack, which was also attacking and persuading people to flee north.
Zhang was on the city wall, and when he saw that the city was in chaos and the general trend had gone, he sighed and wanted to go back to his house.
He didn't want to run away.
In fact, from the embarrassment of those thousands of people when they fled back to Jicheng, he thought that Jicheng might not be able to be saved.
Relying on these people, who had been repeatedly defeated at the hands of the enemy, to defend the city was only self-comforting.
Because, since even they were defeated so quickly, it was impossible for the imperial court to send a large army to rescue them in the short term.
And this point has been repeatedly reminded by the enemy!
Such an enemy really sees through the guys in the city!
At the north gate of Jicheng, countless Wei troops and civilians poured in, shouting: "Escape!" Run! ”
The sergeant guarding the gate was frightened by this momentum and did not dare to stop it, but immediately blended into the fleeing crowd and ran with him.
Anyway, thank goodness the enemy still left a way for himself to live!
They escaped from the north gate, and soon remembered that the north gate was facing Weishui!
It's over, could it be that this north gate is also a trap deliberately set by the enemy?
No, no, by the Weishui River, there are many empty rafts parked at this time, just for them to cross the river.
Thankfully, God really opened his eyes and brought them a raft at this time!
It's just that there are too many people, and the raft is not enough, so everyone rushes to the wooden row, and the sergeant who got on the boat first can't control the people behind, so he walks with the pole.
Many of them could only climb on the edge of the rafts, and the sergeants above trampled their fingers and cut their hands with knives, so they had no choice but to break free and swim back to shore.
They now regret why they didn't flee from Simon earlier. (To be continued.) )
