Chapter 829: Fighting
(2-in-1)
The figure of the patrol at the head of the city disappeared into the distance, and everything calmed down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Gongsun Lan on the top of the arrow tower also slowly raised his body, looked around for a while, and then straightened up from the top of the arrow tower and came to the top of the cliff to make a gesture.
Wang Yuan understood, and immediately ordered someone to untie the end of the thin rope and tie it to the thick rope. A moment later, Gongsun Lan had already pulled the rope and pulled the thick rope over. The thick rope was firmly tied to the bottom of the flagpole at the top of the arrow tower, and after Wang Yuan ordered someone to tie one end of the cliff to the top of the cliff firmly, a thick ropeway was successfully built.
Wang Yuan's eyes were firmly fixed on Gongsun Lan's movements, and seeing the cold light flickering in Gongsun Lan's hands, he knew that Gongsun Lan was going to go down from the top of the arrow tower and solve the archers inside the arrow tower, Gongsun Lan had to kill them, and he couldn't make a move. Otherwise, the people on the top of the cliff will not be able to reach the arrow tower smoothly.
In Wang Yuan's gaze, Gongsun Lan's body flew up as lightly as a bird's nest and jumped down from the top of the arrow tower. When her body fell to the periphery of the fence below the arrow tower, Gongsun Lan reached out and climbed a wooden pillar like lightning, and with the power of this climbing, her body circled around the wooden pillar in the air for half a circle, turning from falling to horizontal rushing, like a dark cloud with a few cold rays rushing into the arrow tower.
Wang Yuan and the others on the top of the cliff watched all this nervously, although Wang Yuan had all kinds of confidence in Gongsun Lan, but his heart was still hanging in his throat. I don't know how many rebels there are in the arrow tower, I don't know if they are on guard, I don't know if Gongsun Lan can kill them without making a sound.
All the answers were revealed after a few breaths, and when Gongsun Lan's figure reappeared in the fence around the arrow tower, Wang Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Gongsun Lan waved his hand towards the top of the cliff, obviously killing all the enemy soldiers in the arrow tower.
"A master is a master, and I really can't match this martial art. The people inside are estimated to have all been killed with a single sword. Li Xin'er praised in a low voice.
Wang Yuan nodded, and ordered in a deep voice: "All ready, listen to my orders." ā
All the soldiers were actually ready, and they knew that they would be sliding into the city tonight, so they had already tied the rope loop they had prepared in advance to their waists, and tied the sliding hook to one end and held it in their hands. In addition, another live rope loop is used as a rope sleeve to slow down, which is tightened when the glide is too fast to control the forward momentum. After all, this is a ropeway that slopes down more than ten feet, and if there is no deceleration measure, it will directly hit the top of the arrow tower, and the tendons will be broken and fractured.
Wang Yuan decided to be the first to go, which is also his consistent style, always the first to eat crabs, and to give a demonstration to his soldiers to strengthen their courage.
Wang Yuan spat at the foam and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, reached out and hung the hook and rope sleeve on the thick rope zipline, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going." ā
Li Xin'er and the others whispered: "You must be careful." ā
Li Heng also said: "The marshal must be careful." ā
Wang Yuan smiled and said to Li Heng: "The prince can see my movements clearly, and you will have to slide over in a while, but don't make a mistake." ā
When the words fell, Wang Yuan gently kicked at the top of the cliff, and with the help of the help, he broke away from the ground at the top of the cliff, and his whole body was already suspended outside the cliff. At first, it was slow, but soon it got faster as the angle tilted. Wang Yuan only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and his body slid down like a cannonball, and almost in the blink of an eye, the arrow tower in front of him rushed towards him, and his body slammed straight towards the flagpole.
Of course, Wang Yuan couldn't let himself collide with the flagpole, and pulled the speed reduction rope circle on the rope with his hand. The rope loop tightened, and there was a whining and friction sound on the zipline, and Wang Yuan's body swayed from side to side. As you get closer to the top of the tower, your speed slows down noticeably, but you're still at an incredible speed. But when Wang Yuan saw Gongsun Lan's figure appear on the top of the tower in front of him, he suddenly relieved himself. Obviously, Gongsun Lan is here to help her land safely.
Sure enough, at the moment when Wang Yuan arrived quickly, Gongsun Lan stretched out her hand and gently pushed Wang Yuan's waist to gently unload the force, just right to let Wang Yuan stop at a distance from the flagpole wooden pillar, so as to avoid Wang Yuan's head from having a close contact with the flagpole post.
Wang Yuan untied the rope, crouched on the arrow tower and gasped slightly, just about to thank Gongsun Lan, but he heard a hurried soft call: "Get out of the way." ā
Wang Yuan turned his head to look, but saw that on the zipline behind him, Li Xin'er also rushed like a cannonball. The speed rope loop in her hand was completely useless, and the whole person flew in. Wang Yuan hurriedly dodged his figure, and Gongsun Lan vacated his position left and right, and at the moment when Li Xin'er rushed over, he hugged his waist and pulled his legs, pulling Li Xin'er's body, so as to prevent her from hitting the flagpole directly.
Li Xin'er's face turned pale with fright, she was in a hurry to follow Wang Yuan, but she didn't expect this journey to be so thrilling. After landing on the ground, he stared at his eyes and swallowed and foamed. Wang Yuan was speechless to her, and said that he could come over only after gesticulating, but he didn't expect this anxious person to be so anxious.
"If it doesn't work, more than 100 people will definitely not be able to arrive safely. Deceleration rope loops are useless. Wang Yuan said in a low voice.
Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Indeed, the slope is too steep to slow down, so we have to find a way." ā
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I was prepared, I formed a rope net before, and now it can come in handy." Wang Yuan patted the bulging backpack proudly.
"Let's move the ropeway to the platform below, so we can open the net. With the double protection of the deceleration rope ring and rope net, it should be safe. ā
"That's all there is to it." Gongsun Lan nodded.
At that moment, the three of them immediately took action, untied the zipline on the top of the tower, transferred it to the platform below, and firmly tied it to the pillars on the inside of the platform. Wang Yuan opened his backpack, pulled out a large net made of rope, and put the big net behind him. It's like a fishing net, waiting for the fish to fall from the sky.
Gongsun Lan felt that it was not quite right, so she tore off the thatch at the top of the arrow tower and bundled it into several piles of cushioned haystacks and paddled them under the rope net. Wang Yuan picked his fingers and praised it, now it is the three insurances. Coupled with the fact that people can assist in landing on the side, it is a quadruple insurance, which should be safe.
When he was busy, Wang Yuan still took the time to take a look at the situation inside the arrow tower. If you don't look at it, you will be stunned when you look at it. But I saw more than a dozen corpses lying in the arrow tower, blood flowing all over the ground, and the smell of blood was all over the nose. What Li Xin'er said is true, most of these people were stabbed with a sword and killed. Many people were killed after only half of the knife was drawn, which shows how fast Gongsun Lan was when he killed.
After the ropeway was quickly rebuilt, before it could be activated, the patrols on the city walls had already appeared. The three of them immediately stopped and hid in the arrow tower full of dead men and waited for them to pass. However, the patrol stopped at the bottom of the arrow tower, and a small leader stood below and looked up at the arrow tower, and shouted: "Wang Dachun, Wang Dachun, what's the matter?" Where did the thatch on the top of the tower go? What's the mess? ā
Wang Yuan and the others, who were hiding in the arrow tower, heard it clearly, and a lot of the thatch on the top of the arrow tower was removed as a buffer straw mat, but they didn't expect the people below to be able to see it clearly. It must be that it is not very conformable, so it is easy to be eye-catching.
If you don't respond, it will make people suspicious, Wang Yuan can only reach out and take a dead man's helmet and put it on his head, poke his head out of the platform railing, and said vaguely: "It's okay, it's okay, there was a strong wind just now, and the thatch on the top was overturned, and a few bundles rolled down." No big deal. Ming'er will do it again during the day. ā
"Gale? There is no wind tonight, where is the strong wind? The rebel leader below frowned.
"It was on the city wall, the arrow tower was on a high place, and there were many strange winds in the valley. If you don't believe me, come up and stay for an hour. Wang Yuan said vaguely.
"Oh, I see, I don't have time to go there for an hour. Speaking of Wang Dachun, there is something wrong with your voice today, why do you seem to be biting a walnut in your mouth. ā
"Isn't it due to fatigue? Don't you know how hurtful it hurts to stay up late? I'm tired to death, and my throat is dry. ā
"Haha, everyone is not all the same, and no one is much happier than the other. Be careful, and in less than two hours it will be dawn, and a peaceful night will be better than anything else. That's it. Here we go. ā
"Okay, okay, you should be careful." Wang Yuan hurriedly retracted his head.
The patrol below slowly left, turned south under the arrow tower, and slowly walked along the city wall of the pass gate on the west side.
Wang Yuan reached out and took off his helmet and threw it on the corpse, letting out a long sigh. Li Xin'er laughed in a low voice: "Erlang pretends to deceive people, but there is a way to deceive people, and if you don't have anything to do, your face will not be red and your heart will not beat, I hope you will not be so partial to us in the future." ā
Wang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up, before the next patrol arrives, our people must come over and control the city wall below." ā
Li Xin'er's expression was solemn, and she hurriedly walked out of the arrow tower to the platform outside, and waved her hand three times towards the cliff, which was to ask them to act immediately. A moment later, the rope vibrated and sounded, and Zi Yun'er slid down the rope like a cloud, so fast that her own face turned pale with fright. After arriving at the arrow tower, the whole body swooped into the rope net, and then fell on the thatch with the net.
Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, but you're injured?" ā
Zi Yun'er shook her head again and again, and after untying the rope, her body was full of thatched crumbs, but the person was indeed safe and sound. Wang Yuan put his mind at ease, this number of buffers is good, so there is no need to worry. A moment later, Qingyun'er also came, Ah Luo also came, and the guards also slid over one by one, and soon the arrow tower was overcrowded, and more than 20 people were crowded on it and could no longer stand on it.
"Cousin, it's almost over, let's kill it. Let's solve the seven or eight arrow towers near the pass gate first. Then let's run to the two walls in the middle and find the gate on the wall. Wang Yuan whispered to Gongsun Landao.
Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Okay, kill it." ā
At that moment, Wang Yuan ordered several guards to stay on the arrow tower to assist Feidu's brothers, and told them to stay on this arrow tower for more than ten people to occupy a favorable shooting position. When the rest of the men came, they immediately went to the city gate for reinforcements. After the arrangements were made, Wang Yuan's grandson Lan Aluo and more than a dozen guards climbed down the wooden ladder in the middle of the arrow tower, and went all the way down from the hollow bluestone passage, and after a while, they were already on the city wall.
As soon as he landed on the city wall, the light of a lantern flickered on the eastern wall, and it was another group of rebel soldiers patrolling.
Wang Yuan looked back at the crowd on the arrow tower, and knew that this time there was no way to hide their whereabouts, once this group of patrol soldiers got closer, they would find that the guards flying in the night sky and the soldiers on the arrow tower on the city wall might as well take the initiative to attack.
So after whispering a few words, he appeared from the shadows with his head held high, and led more than twenty people to line up in two lines and go straight to the enemy patrol opposite. The rebel patrol in front of them also quickly spotted the oncoming group of people.
They were stunned for a moment and then stopped, and the leader held up the lantern and asked, "Which brother is leading the team in front?" Why don't you light lanterns and torches? ā
Wang Yuan quickened his pace and said in a deep voice: "I am Wang Dachun, the stars are shining, what kind of lantern torch do you want?" You don't need to be lit to see it. ā
"Wang Dachun? Why don't you stay on the tower and run to the wall? Wrong? You are not Wang Dachun, how can Wang Dachun be as tall as you? Who are you? ā
"I'm Lord Hades." Wang Yuan shouted, and the long sword in his hand came out, and the cold light flashed. At the same time, he quickened his pace and flew towards the rebel patrol.
However, Wang Yuan was obviously moving too slowly, and the two black shadows around him swept by like light smoke, and they arrived in front in an instant, which were Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er's master and apprentice. The two of them rushed in front of the rebel team in an instant, and a sword light lit up like lightning, and the little leader patrolling the city didn't even react, and half of his head was cut off by a sword. Before his body fell, the corpse was struck in the chest by a penetrating sword. But the sword came belatedly, and the man was already dead when it was stabbed.
Li Xin'er pursed her lips and was speechless, the master's movements were too fast, and his sword was already very fast, but he still made a useless stab. Seeing that Gongsun Lan had already rushed towards the panicked soldiers in the rear, Li Xin'er didn't have time to be annoyed, so she hurriedly drew her sword and rushed forward. She just wants to be able to grab a few heads under her master, if she doesn't hurry up and work hard, otherwise she may not be able to catch any of these people.
Faced with a sudden attack, more than a dozen patrol soldiers were stunned at first, and a few of them reacted quickly, turned around and fled, shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ā
Gongsun Lan's arm was lightly raised, and a little cold light came out of his hand, and several enemy soldiers who ran away and shouted suddenly fell silent. But even then, those few shouts that resounded through the night sky were enough to arouse the minds of others. When Gongsun Lan's master and apprentice killed more than a dozen patrol soldiers and horses, the sound of gongs had already sounded in the pass below the city wall. The darkened houses and streets are lit up one after another. Soon after, the sound of running and shouting began to gather, and the sound of footsteps and torches and lanterns swaying sounded on the surrounding walls.
Wang Yuan rushed to the place where more than a dozen corpses were lying horizontally, and looked at everything in front of him depressedly.
Gongsun Lan said: "Erlang, where is the killing?" ā
Wang Yuan said depressedly: "Where can you kill it?" Immediately there were enemies on all sides. In this case, you and Xin'er go and take the arrow towers above the gates, and it is better to destroy them. I'll bring people to attract the rebels to attack us, so that it will be easy for you to get it. By the way, get two sets of their armor to wear, otherwise it will be dangerous to get close to those arrow towers. ā
Gongsun Lan said: "Can you stop it?" ā
Wang Yuan said: "Don't worry, we have the cover of the arrow tower, but you should be careful." After destroying the tower, we can charge in the direction of the gate. ā
Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Everyone should be careful." Xin'er, let's go. ā
Li Xin'er agreed to follow Gongsun Lan and left, and Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Change your armor and camouflage to approach." ā
Gongsun Lan waved her hand and said, "No need." As he spoke, the figure was already a few feet away.
Wang Yuan was speechless, but he didn't have time to care about them, because the torches were already shining like daylight at the top of the city, and in a short time, hundreds of rebel soldiers gathered, climbed up the stone steps of the city wall, and rushed towards the place where he and the others were standing. The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, and the enemy army had already begun to release arrows from a distance.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and ordered: "Withdraw under the arrow tower." ā
Everyone turned their heads and retreated to the bottom of the arrow tower, and dozens of guards rushed to converge on the way, and Wang Yuan quickly withdrew to the bottom of the arrow tower with more than 100 guards. Enemy soldiers had already rushed to the top of the city, rushing towards the section of the wall below the tower. After entering the range of the tower, the guards who stayed behind above the tower began to shoot arrows. Although there are only a dozen people left on the tower, the power of the tower lies in the fact that he can shoot the enemy below almost without any dead ends, and he does not worry about his own safety at all, and can shoot arrows down without interruption. The firing of more than a dozen people also quickly caused many casualties.
After more than a dozen rebels on the city wall were shot and killed, they did not dare to get too close, but only dared to shout from afar, and did not dare to rush forward. Moments later, however, one of the generals came to the top of the city, and under his stern reprimand, the rebel soldiers began to charge forward with their shields raised. Although the guards on the arrow tower kept shooting arrows, they couldn't stop them from pressing towards Wang Yuan and the others. Wang Yuan also bent his bow and shot with more than 100 people, but he couldn't stop the opponent's tough advance.
Seeing this, Wang Yuan threw away his bow and arrows and shouted, "Stop releasing arrows and prepare to kill the enemy." ā
The guards also put their bows and arrows back on their backs, drew their blades one after another, and stood on the city wall one by one, watching the direction of the enemy's attack and preparing to fight.
Wang Yuan whispered to Ah Luo and Zi Yun'er Qingyun'er beside him: "You follow me and protect the side and back for me." Don't be too aggressive. I don't want any of you to get hurt. ā
The third girl nodded in response, and Wang Yuan's gaze fell on Li Heng, the king of Feng, who was standing not far away and looking panicked, and said with a smile: "Lord Feng, don't you want to kill the enemy and be a hero?" Today is your chance. ā
Li Heng swallowed and foamed: "I understand, Marshal Wang, don't worry, I won't be a bear." ā
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Let your guards follow you closely, don't be scattered, otherwise I will collect your body." ā
Li Heng reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you Marshal for your concern." ā
Ahead, the rebel soldiers who rushed forward with shields suddenly noticed that archery had stopped shooting on the arrow tower, and they also saw their opponents standing in the darkness of the wall in front of them. The other party stood on the city wall one by one with his blades, and those who fought in a posture understood that they wanted hand-to-hand combat.
The lieutenant general of the rebel army who led the army shouted in a deep voice: "Rush up and kill them all." ā
The rebel soldiers, no longer cautious, raised their swords and rushed forward with a shout.
Wang Yuan sneered, raised the broken sword and swung it forward, and all the guards also burst into a roar and began to rush forward. Twenty or thirty paces away, the two sides collided together in the blink of an eye, and the next moment the flesh and blood flew and screamed, and the sound of swords clashing was endless. Although the wall of the pass is wide, it can only accommodate more than 20 people standing side by side. Therefore, the two sides rushed together, and suddenly it seemed crowded. People are constantly being cut down and falling down the city walls, and people are constantly being cut to pieces by weapons from all sides. This kind of hand-to-hand combat is actually the most brutal.
Wang Yuan took the lead in rushing to the front line, the sword-breaking sword in his hand was invincible, and the extremely sharp sword ignored the blocking and armor of the opposing soldiers, and every sword was almost red. Besides, with martial arts, ordinary soldiers are naturally difficult to defeat. On this side, there are Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er's two daughters, and behind them is Ah Luo's protection, and she has no scruples at all. In the flickering light of the sword, Wang Yuan pushed forward into the crowd of soldiers on the other side like a meat grinder. Left a stump and severed arm around him.
Although the number of more than 100 guards is not large, the combat effectiveness is not low. Because these are all elite soldiers in Wang Yuan's personal guards, all of them have martial arts, although they can't be called first-class masters, but they are more than enough to deal with ordinary soldiers. However, the number of soldiers and horses on the other side has increased several times, not only the three or four hundred soldiers at the head of the city are soldiers and horses, but also many soldiers are flocking from the pass to support. Therefore, although the guards killed the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables, the opponent's soldiers and horses killed more and more. In a short tea time, the enemy suffered more than 100 casualties, and the Shence army also suffered more than 20 casualties, and was forced to retreat by more and more rebels.
