Chapter 16 Determination
Li Congjing's eyes could no longer see the head of the city, but could only see the city wall, because they had already reached the bottom of the city wall!
He glanced back left and right, but saw that the five boxcars and the five large shield phalanxes, although the surface was full of iron arrows and became ten huge hedgehogs, none of the boxcars were damaged, and none of the big shield phalanx had major losses, and they all continued to move forward steadily, and his heart suddenly became a lot more relieved!
Li Congjing turned around, stared at the flag officer behind him, and shouted: "Herald: Slow down the boxcar!" ”
The flag officer behind him touched Li Congjing, who was full of murderous aura, and his face couldn't help but flash with horror, he was actually frightened by him. But the flag officer's movements were not slow, and he waved the flag cleanly.
"Boxcar slows down!"
"Boxcar slows down!"
"Boxcar slows down!"
In the boxcar, the shouting and shouting of the Dutou team roared again: "Slow down, slow down!" Let the boxcar stop! ”
"Herald: Archers Strike Back!" Li Congjing then shouted.
"Archers fight back!"
"Archers fight back!"
"Archers fight back!"
In the boxcar and shield phalanx, a group of archers, under the cover of the boxcar and the big shield, drew their bows and arrows, aimed at the head of the city, and began to counterattack.
In the air, two reverse arrows rained down, flying towards each other's places of origin!
There was an archer of the Jin army, who had just shown his head, and before he could open the bow, he was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow, whimpered, threw away the bow and arrow, covered his neck and fell to the ground with a bang, struggling on the ground, and his legs bounced irregularly.
When an archer is exposed, shot by a sharp arrow, or does not penetrate his armor, he just moves for a moment, and then returns to normal, and continues to shoot the iron arrow in his hand! Some of them were shot into their bodies by sharp arrows, screaming and falling, and were immediately pulled under the cover of the big shield by their comrades behind the big shield!
And the head of Qimen City, because the Liang army only exposed itself and the head, if it was shot, it would be more than the face and throat arrows, some fell on the city wall, and some fell directly from the city head a few zhang high, and smashed on the ground with a "bang", and the sound was broken. If you don't lose your breath, you will be surrounded by the Jin army with a big shield and chopped to death with a knife!
Li Congjing pulled out a long knife, jumped off the boxcar, and shouted: "Order: Go up the ladder and trap the team to attack the city!" ”
"Go up the ladder and trap the team to attack the city!"
"Go up the ladder and trap the team to attack the city!"
"Go up the ladder and trap the team to attack the city!"
The sergeant carrying the ladder stepped forward quickly, and the formation of the large shield phalanx changed, and they were broken into pieces, spread on both sides of the ladder, and used the big shield to escort their comrades and ran under the city wall with the ladder, and put the ladder on the city wall. There are two pulleys at the top of the ladder, and many people carry the ladder together, and with all their strength, one end of the ladder slides down from the city wall to the front of the female wall of the city wall.
In the whole process, I don't know how many people were shot to the ground under the sharp blades of bows and arrows.
"Give Ben the envoy to suppress the archers at the head of the city!" Li Congjing grabbed the head of the improvised archers and shouted loudly.
"Yes, Commander!" They all have orders, and they dare not slack off.
Meng San and the other three teams of sharp soldiers ran out of the boxcar, they held shields, wore canopies, and rushed to the three ladders in three parts!
"Don't be damn afraid of death, stand up for Lao Tzu and suppress the archers of the Liang Army on the city wall!" The archers, all sweating profusely, snatched the bow from one of the archers and shot an arrow at the city!
Meng San put the horizontal knife in his mouth, ran to a cloud ladder in two steps, and then under the cover of the big shield, he was about to start climbing up the cloud ladder, at the top of the cloud ladder, a number of Liang army sergeants suddenly appeared, holding the fork pole, and working together, actually erected the cloud ladder, and pushed it away from the city wall!
"Steady, steady!" Meng San shouted anxiously and beckoned to the sergeant beside him, "Push it back, push it back!" ”
But no matter how hard the soldiers of the Jin army at the foot of the ladder worked, they were affected by the effect of force, and they failed to wrestle with the Liang army on the city wall. Seeing that the ladder gradually left the city wall farther and farther, it became a ninety degree angle to the ground, and continued to overturn, and finally fell slowly towards the side that deviated from the city wall, and finally smashed on the ground, splashing a puff of dust!
"Straight sissy thief!" Meng San saw that the ladder overturned in front of him, and he was almost stoned to death, so he immediately jumped to his feet and scolded. After scolding, he didn't stop, raised his shield and picked up the horizontal knife and shouted to the sergeant behind him: "Follow Lao Tzu to the next ladder!" ”
Beside him, there was a Jin army sergeant Zhang Gong, who shot down the Liang army who were holding the fork and rod like a bird!
Li Congjing always stood behind the boxcar, taking in the situation of the entire battlefield. At the moment, the Jin army has come into contact with the city wall, and the ladder began to be put on the city wall, and at the foot of the ladder, there are pieces of high shields, and the sergeants behind the big shields are waiting for the ladder to be erected, hanging the horizontal knife, holding the shield in one hand, and climbing the ladder in the other hand to climb the city wall!
The sharp arrows shot from the city wall never stopped, and many people were injured by the arrows, but many more sharp arrows were blocked by the big shield! And the archers of the Jin army under the city wall did not stop firing arrows on the city wall, and tried their best to suppress the archers on the opposite side!
At this time, the Jin army has completed the battle to receive the city, and now it is the battle of climbing the city, commonly known as "ant attached"! It is to attach to the city wall like an ant and climb up desperately. And the siege war is going on here, and it is the climax and the most tragic part!
The battlefield was full of shouts, shouts, screams, the sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of bows and arrows roaring. The whole corner of the wall is like a pot of boiling porridge, constantly bubbling, and it is not water that is steaming this pot of boiling porridge, but blood!
Li Congjing looked up at the head of Qimen City, although he knew that the scene in front of him was inevitable, his heart still sank.
At the head of the city, as a group of Liang soldiers showed their figures, the thunder stone rolling wood held high in their hands also showed their hideous faces. Li Congjing craned his neck, and could even see the ugly face of the Liang army, as their hands waved down fiercely, the rolling stones and trees fell like a torrent, smashing into the Jin army group, no matter whether these Jin troops were covered by a big shield or not, there would be a lot of casualties!
His hands clenched into Chen's fists, clenching fiercely. His eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, staring at the city.
The battle is going on so far, and in this boiling battle, there is very little Li Congjing can do.
He saw a Jin army trapped in the team, and finally climbed two-thirds of the ladder, and he could climb to the top of the city, but he was hit by a sassal tree, fell silently, and fell to the ground without moving. He could even see his blood, spilling in the air.
As the depth of the battle continued to increase, a Jin army fell into the team, and one hand had climbed the women's wall, but Liang Jun cut off his wrist with a knife and fell down. And the sharp soldier behind him didn't take two steps forward, and was poked down by the Liang army's long soldiers.
And these Liang army sergeants who exposed their bodies were inevitably shot by the sharp arrows of the Jin army, and fell from the city with a scream.
There were many casualties on both sides, but as the besieging side, the losses of the Jin army were undoubtedly greater.
Li Congjing saw that one by one the Jin soldiers were either injured or killed, and the hand holding the knife had begun to tremble slightly. But he didn't move, he couldn't have more moves.
He's waiting.
If the Jin army's casualties reached a critical point, the siege could not continue, and they could only retreat.
And Li Congjing, who only had six or seven hundred people, had no chance to organize a second siege at all.
In fact, there is no need to wait until the Jin army reaches the critical point of that rout, as long as the Jin army's casualties reach a certain scale, then even if the Jin army attacks the city, it may not be able to defeat the Liang army and achieve battlefield victory in the next short-handed encounter.
In the battle of attacking Qimen, Li Congjing was too restricted, although there was only one limit: there were too few soldiers.
From the march to Qimen, to the official launch of the siege, Li Congjing had done everything he could: defeat the Liang army and severely damage its commander; Build siege equipment to minimize the losses suffered by soldiers in the process of receiving the city; Pick the trap team and boost morale to a climax!
Li Congjing's eyes gradually turned red, and he thought resentfully: If Lao Tzu has more than 1,000 horses, not too many, as long as there are three commanders, it is easy to take down Qimen, where can Liang Jun be so arrogant? !
But at this moment, except to wait, Li Congjing was helpless.
Everything he could did was done!
Even if he loses, he can also pat his chest and say: I am worthy of myself!
But he really didn't want to fail!
While staring at the battlefield, he estimated the casualties of the Liang army and the Jin army in his heart, and watched the casualties of the Jin army gradually approaching the critical line, while shouting silently in his heart: Give me a chance, give me a chance, give me a chance!
Another Jin soldier fell down from the ladder.
The sergeant seemed to fall on Li Congjing's heart, smashing his heart painfully!
He saw Meng San fall down from the ladder, he didn't move for a long time, struggled a few times, but got up again, shook his head, picked up the knife, and climbed the ladder again!
It's close, it's close, it's close to that tipping point.
Li Congjing felt that his heart was cramping!
He had to cover his chest with one hand.
He felt his breathing grow heavier.
The noise of the battlefield flew in his ears, stirring into a pot of porridge, making his head chaotic, as if he could no longer see and think normally.
It is true that this is the first time he has left Li Cunqiao and led troops to fight.
He has expectations, he wants to live in troubled times; He is ambitious, and he wants to make a fortune in a world of great contention; He has dreams, and he wants to achieve the man's ambition that he failed to achieve in his previous life!
This expedition is the first step for him to embark on a new chapter in his life!
He worked hard to resolve the conspiracy from Wu Jingzhong and He Chong, while treating his subordinates sincerely and making them sincerely obey orders, and at the same time planning how to defeat the enemy and arrange the troops.
He didn't go easily.
He didn't want to just lose.
He doesn't want to lose!
Li Congjing raised his head, his eyes were full of fighting intent, and he exuded a strong desire to fight all over his body! His hand holds his sword, his heart falls into his battlefield, his steps stomp the ground!
"Xiao Wu!" Li Congjing snorted, like an upright javelin, "Gather your own soldiers and prepare to go into battle!" ”
"Commander!" Zhang Xiaowu suddenly shouted, he pointed to a place at the head of the city excitedly, "Li Dutou, it's Li Dutou!" ”
Li Congjing looked up and saw Li Shaocheng's figure.
Li Shaocheng slashed down the Liang army in front of him with a knife, and shouted in the direction where Li Congjing was: "Commander, go to the city!" ”
Li Congjing pulled out a horizontal knife, exerted force under his feet, and his body jumped out like a ghost: "Damn, follow me to the city!" ”
