Chapter 517: Siege (5)
In order to destroy the will to resist of the Great Food Army, when Geshushan led the barbarians under his command to attack the city, Zhao Ziliang also ordered the trebuchet in the siege equipment to launch fire oil bombs and stone bullets on Henglus City, so that there were Geshu Mountain on the ground to lead the barbarians to attack, and there were archers on the well in the high place to suppress the fire of the big food army on the head of the city, and there were fire oil bombs and stone bullets in the sky that kept flying into the city to destroy houses and buildings and cause damage to the big food army that was resting in shifts. The ignition of the buildings led to a series of fires, and smoke soon rose from the sky inside the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Kill—kill—" The overwhelming shouts of killing filled the city and the city.
Under the leadership of Geshu Mountain, the barbarians of the Geshu Que tribe leaned a siege ladder against the wall, and the barbarians rushed to climb the ladder to the city wall to kill, as the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, the barbarians fought bravely one by one under the stimulation of the huge reward, and were not afraid of death, this kind of morale was much stronger than yesterday when the stone army attacked the city.
Said, as a general with rich combat experience, soon discovered that the Tang army's siege was unusual, the momentum was obviously much greater than yesterday, and the morale and bravery of the siege soldiers were far from being comparable to yesterday's. As a result, the Great Food Army in the northern section was almost idle, and he transferred one-third of his men from the northern section to the southern section to strengthen the defense.
Said's troop transfer was seen by Zhao Ziliang with a telescope, and he immediately summoned Ashi Jielin and ordered: "Now our army's siege areas are concentrated in the southern section, and the big cannibals have transferred part of the troops in the northern section to the southern end, so the defense of the northern section must be empty, you immediately organize a thousand people to attack the northern section of the city wall, and this general will first let the siege equipment carry out a fire attack on the northern section of the city wall to clear some resistance obstacles for you!" ”
Ah Si Jielin said awe-inspiringly: "Obey the order! ”
Not long after the attack on Geshu Mountain, Ashi Jielin also led a thousand people to launch a fierce attack on the northern section of the east city wall, Sayyid was frightened, and immediately requisitioned all the resting big food troops in the city to the city wall to strengthen the defense, this siege battle for a time pulled all the reserves of Said on the city wall, fortunately, the Tang army was only attacking the east city wall for the time being, if the other city walls were attacking, he would no longer have reserves to draw.
The main reason why Zhao Ziliang did not launch a full-scale attack on several other city walls was the lack of siege equipment, and now the craftsmen are making every effort to build, but the speed of building is always limited; In addition, if a full-scale siege is launched from many city walls, it will inevitably cause huge losses to the barbarians, if the ten surnamed tribes, the stone country and the country of Bahanna are too heavy, they will inevitably be dissatisfied, they follow to win the battle, not to take human lives to win the battle, don't look at these barbarian leaders one by one look honest and honest, only promises, in fact, these people are cunning in their hearts, they don't do loss-making business, and at the critical moment, they are extremely ruthless, and it is not impossible to turn back.
The use of Jinglan, greatly suppressed the big food army at the head of the city, with the advancement of Jinglan, its height should be higher than the city wall, the archers fired arrows from the well, there is a condescending trend, but the big food army on the head of the city is all the goal, which provides cover for the ground siege troops, the big food defenders on the city wall in order to avoid the arrows, had to give up the attack on the siege troops under the city, and soon the barbarians of the Geshu Department climbed the city wall and fought with the big food army.
The archers on the well just now caused great casualties to the big food army at the head of the city, although the big food army also arranged a lot of archers at the head of the city, but because it was in a low place, it was always in a weak position, and a large number of them were quickly shot, but when the barbarians of the Geshu tribe under the city jumped on the city wall and fought with the big food army, the barbarian archers on the well had scruples, lest they shoot their companions, so they had to stop firing arrows.
Said immediately organized his men to fight the barbarians of the Goshu tribe at the head of the city, and although it was dangerous, he could not be threatened by the barbarian archers on the well.
The two sides immediately launched a fierce battle for the city wall at the head of the city, although Geshushan was a little old, but the body was still very strong, he led the barbarians to kill the big food army at the head of the city and retreated again and again, a long section of the city wall was occupied by him and his people, Said saw that the old man Geshuhan was so old, and he was still so brave, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Who is this person?" ”
In collusion with Said, Mo Ying, the general of the original stone country, knew Geshu Mountain, and he told Said: "Master Du, this person is Ge Shushan, the leader of the Geshu Que tribe, he was infinitely powerful and brave when he was young, and now he is still very powerful when he is old, this person is not easy to deal with!" ”
Said pointed the knife in his hand at Geshushan and shouted to the generals around him: "Kill him!" Whoever kills him will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! ”
As soon as these words came out, not only did the eyes of the surrounding big food soldiers look at Geshushan with golden light, but even those generals couldn't help but swallow their saliva, which showed that this reward was quite heavy.
"What are you waiting for? Follow me up and kill! A general shouted, carrying a scimitar and rushing towards Geshu Mountain, and other big food soldiers also flocked to Geshu Mountain, Mo Ying, the general of the original stone country, was extremely blushing at the thousand gold coins, the gold coins eaten by the big cannibals were extremely exquisite, and they were quite valuable, and he also raised his knife and followed the other big cannibals to kill Geshu Mountain.
Ge Shushan's pressure increased greatly for a while, he was attacked by the front of the left and right, and at the same time many weapons slashed at him, he kept parrying and firing, waving weapons continuously, and slashed and killed many big food soldiers, but more big food soldiers and generals rushed towards him, he began to be unable to parry, and could only retreat again and again.
The barbarians around him were gradually hacked to death by the big eaters, and there were fewer and fewer barbarians around Geshushan, and he himself was accidentally cut by a big eater, Mo Ying saw that he was injured, and he was immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "He's injured, rush up and kill him hard!" ”
The big food soldiers didn't want to press up, and Ge Shushan hacked some big food soldiers to death one after another, but feeling that his strength was gradually depleted, he couldn't help shouting to the barbarians behind him: "Steady, stabilize it for me, don't retreat!" ”
At this time, a large number of shouts and killings came from the city, and only a coquettish voice was heard: "Father Khan, I'm coming!" Sons, follow me to the head of the city! ”
Geshu Luoyan finally led his men to rush to the bottom of the city, and under the cover of the archers on the well, they climbed up the city wall with few casualties.
When Saeed saw another group of brutes rushing towards him, he immediately pointed at Goshushan and shouted, "Kill him, kill him!" ”
Several generals heard Said's order, but also did not care about their own danger, personally carried weapons to participate in the siege of Geshu Mountain, the addition of the generals, the lethality has greatly increased, Geshu Mountain after a long time of fighting strength has been consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight, at this time where can still withstand the siege of a number of big food army generals, one after another was cut down, under the lack of strength, the arm with the knife was also cut off by a big food army general, he let out a scream, immediately changed hands to take the knife and fight again.
Geshu Mountain's screams made Geshu Luoyan anxious, she jumped from the cloud ladder to the city wall with two knives in her hand, and cut down several big food soldiers one after another, while slashing and killing, she moved closer to Geshu Mountain, and there were barbarians jumping up from the cloud ladder to join the battle group behind her.
"Father Khan, I'm coming, hold on!" Ge Shu Luoyan shouted while waving his knife with both hands and slashing, but there were too many big soldiers on the city wall, crowded with people, and the city wall was not very wide, so it was too difficult for a box to rush through.
"He's out of strength, let's go together!" Mo Ying saw that Ge Shuhan's face was pale, his eyes were dim, and his movements had slowed down significantly, and he immediately shouted.
When some of the big food soldiers heard his words, they immediately rushed up to get the first skill of killing Ge Shu Mountain, but they didn't know that even if Ge Shu Mountain was exhausted, he didn't have the power to resist, he rose up to the last strength and went back to slash and kill more than a dozen big food soldiers in a row, and his body was also slashed a few times in the slash just now, and the blood flowed into the injection, and the strength consumption was serious.
Mo Ying saw the opportunity to rush forward, swung the knife and slashed a few times in a row, Ge Shushan only had time to block two knives, and the third knife really couldn't lift his strength, and was slashed to the chest and abdomen by Mo Ying, and a large amount of blood gushed out, making him completely exhausted.
Just as Mo Ying was about to swing his knife again and completely hack Ge Shushan to death, he slashed from behind and cut off his head again, and his headless body spurted out a large amount of blood.
I saw a foot kicking down Mo Ying's headless corpse, and Ge Shu Luoyan rushed up from behind covered in blood to support Ge Shushan and cried: "Father Khan, my daughter is late, my daughter is late!" ”
Ge Shushan was speechless at this time, the blood flowed too much, his lips and face were a little pale, Ge Shu Luoyan immediately took off his cloak and wrapped the wound on Ge Shushan's chest.
At this time, the voice of Mingjin came from the Tang army's array, but it was Zhao Ziliang who saw that the city wall occupied by Geshu had been recaptured by the Great Food Army, and Geshushan himself seemed to have been seriously injured, and it was noon at this time, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Geshu Luoyan heard the sound of gold, and immediately held Geshuhan and slid down the ladder under the protection of some barbarians, and the barbarians also quickly retreated to the city, and this time the siege failed again.
Zhao Ziliang and the leaders of the various departments on the Shuai platform saw that Ge Shushan was hugged back by Ge Shu Luoyan, and knew that he was seriously injured, so they walked down the Shuai platform one after another to check the situation.
Zhao Ziliang eagerly came to Geshu Luoyan's side and asked, "Leader Geshu, are you okay?" Come on, I'm about to come to Lang Zhong! ”
At this time, Ge Shushan, whose face was pale, opened his eyes, as if he was returning to the light, he saw Zhao Ziliang and the other leaders, and saw his daughter Ge Shu Luoyan holding him, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhao Ziliang's face, and said: "General, don't look for Langzhong, I can't survive!" My brother Shushan has only one daughter, but Geshu Que can not have no heir, in the past, our Geshu did not have a woman in charge of the family, but if an outsider is the leader, my brother Shu Que's surname will be broken, today I will pass the head of the Geshu Que to my daughter Geshu Luoyan, and I am afraid that the high-ranking and powerful people in the clan will not accept her as a woman as the leader, so in the future, please ask the general and the leaders to take care of the little girl one or two. In the coming day, if Luo Yan finds the person she likes, she can pass on her man, but her man must agree to change her sex! ”
If it is normal, Zhao Ziliang is unwilling to intervene in the internal affairs of this tribe, after all, it is a common practice for women not to be at home in this era, let a woman be in charge, other men in the family will definitely not be satisfied, and it is thankless for outsiders to intervene, but now the situation is different, Ge Shushan has just fought to the death in order to capture the city, and he is about to die in Huangquan, and the last words of the dying person are really indelible.
He groaned slightly, and immediately agreed: "Leader Geshu, please let me go, as long as I, Zhao, am still in the Western Regions, Lingnu will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of the leader, if anyone dares to hurt her and covet her position, he will be the enemy of my Zhao!" ”
Ge Shushan listened, with a satisfied smile on his face, watching Ge Shu Luoyan want to reach out and touch her face, but he lost his strength halfway, his eyes quickly dimmed, and the hand he held fell weakly, and he died with his eyes closed, in exchange for a burst of bitter crying from Geshu Luoyan.
