Chapter 195: Never bow your head

When you are dying, you dare to be so hard-mouthed! Adjutant General Yang Ci raised his whip and scolded on the horse, and Zhang Chun also said angrily: "Longxi thief, you are still tough!" Ben will be ordered by the king of Nanyang to come to crusade against the rebellious ,...... with two hearts."

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already interrupted him with a loud shout, "Shut up! The Er Shang faction is full of incorruptible and shameful people! My lord of the family, loyal to the king of diligence, was taken advantage of by you to sneak in. Now that the mountains and rivers are turbulent, I don't know that the king of Nanyang called on the world to fight Hu with the leader of the clan, but he is bent on cutting off dissidents and seeking personal gain, where is there such a shameless thing in the world! ”

"My lord has never been sorry for the king of Nanyang, but he is still treated so cruelly. Now you are just bullying the weak, thinking that you can kill and take away, not only is it wishful thinking, but also some faceless! I've heard that even guinea dogs know a little bit about loyalty, but I don't understand why they do something that is inferior to beasts! ”

Zhang Chun was dumbfounded, annoyed and ashamed, and furious: "Good, good thief, dare to speak out!" What is your last name? When I catch you, the skinning cramps will be light! ”

The man actually stood up straight and laughed: "Look at you, you are also a general, how can you talk like a child quarreling and angry?" You must know that when the two armies are fighting, there is no death, if I am exhausted and defeated, then the swords, guns, axes, axes, and woks are at your disposal, and I only die, so why do you need to tell such useless nonsense to scare? ”

As he spoke, the man struck the breastplate on the head of the city, raised his head in disgust, and cried out in a loud voice, "I am a man of my own origin, a nobody." But since I was wrongly loved by the lord of my family, I was promoted and entrusted with important responsibilities, and I can't say that I can only repay him with this life. I don't want to name me now, but if I die in battle, and there is no body left, but the people of the world think that I have survived and stolen my life, or have turned my back on my lord, they will suspect that I am a disloyal and incompetent person, so I will die clearly. Listen to the city! I am the captain of Longxi City Gate, Wu Xia is also! Today, defend the city for the Lord and swear to live and die with Xiangwu! ”

Behind him, the thousands of soldiers who were infected by his fearless and loyal momentum and volunteered to help him defend the city struck each other with their blades, bursting out with an earth-shattering roar.

"Die with the city!"

"Die with the city!"

"Die with the city!"

Later, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city raised their voices of unyielding indignation. Wu Xia's eyes were blazing, his young and excited face was extremely resolute, he was high up, looking down, and said proudly: "Just let it go!" I want to see how much real ability a teacher like Ruer and others can have when they are so anonymous and treacherous! ”

Zhang Chun was dumbfounded and angry, so he stopped talking nonsense, and issued a death order, regardless of the cost, he must attack Xiangwu. Tens of thousands of Jin troops immediately rushed in like a red tide.

The heavy wheels crushed the ground, and the catapult kept moving forward, making a creaking sound. When it reached the firing range, it frantically threw boulders and bombarded the head of Xiangwu City. In the Jin army's large array, countless heavy crossbows began to shoot out one after another, intending to suppress the defenders on Xiangwu City from a distance, so that the opponent could not show his face and could not return fire. The bolt struck through a body viciously, frantically, and carved holes in the walls, and immediately there were trivial gravel falling straight down.

Taking advantage of this time difference, two thousand heavily armored shield soldiers immediately rushed forward to open the way, built a pontoon bridge, covered the arrows and stones on the city, and covered the rear siege troops to quickly approach the city wall, the archers moved forward slowly, and kept shooting under the city wall, and the large ladder cart also slowly and resolutely mounted the wall, and the swift infantry were like apes, holding spears with horizontal swords, and rushed up from the ladder.

Speaking of the Jin army under Sima Bao, many of them were veterans who had fought with the Huns repeatedly in the past, and many of them were fierce frontier aliens recruited later, so they were really one of the rare and powerful imperial court troops at that time. In actual combat, these Jin troops were not like the Huns, as soon as they came up, they only swarmed up with bravery, intending to attack the city with only the tactics of the sea of people and the momentum of fighting for their lives. Under the daily systematic and effective training, the Jin army was methodical, paid attention to coordination and coordinated operations, and used multi-level and three-dimensional strikes to sharply disintegrate the opponent's counterattack force, so as to quickly control the initiative on the battlefield.

At the head of Xiangwu City, all the guards were tightly shrunk behind the battlements, and it seemed that they were suppressed by the powerful attack force under the city, and they couldn't raise their heads for a while, so they could only helplessly let the enemy army go up the ladder. There were the particularly vigorous soldiers, who had already climbed half of the ladder, and there was no movement of any counterattack in the city, and when they were overjoyed and ready to rush up to the city, there were suddenly countless short crossbows shot down from the battlements, like rain hitting banana leaves, and when they landed, they crackled and knocked over a large area.

It turned out that Wu Xia saw that the enemy's attack was fierce, and the siege equipment and equipment were numerous, so he secretly thought that if he fought head-on one-on-one, it would not only be a waste of troops, but also not an opponent at all, but he was afraid that a thousand guards would be killed and wounded in a short time, and the city would be breached. He ordered, don't care about the trebuchet under the city smashing down the brick buildings in front of him, anyway, Xiangwu City is tall and heavy, even if you let it be smashed, it will not have much effect.

He had his guards hide closely behind the battlements, and the men frequently put their heads out to observe, and whenever the enemy soldiers climbed into the middle of the ladder, they would suddenly counterattack in groups of three, one with a large shield to shield the city from the rain of arrows, and the other two would simply shoot their crossbows downward. The Jin soldiers were in mid-air, powerless to dodge, and often watched as the crossbow arrows rushed towards them, and then the arrows fell under the city. There was one who had indeed escaped with great agility, and as soon as he climbed up to the top of the city, he was stabbed down the city again with spears.

Looking from afar, on the head of Xiangwu City, the enemy tower has been smashed and collapsed in many places by the catapults under the city, and the smoke and dust and dense fog of the atmosphere are spread everywhere, like a large terrible black cloud, low pressure on the top of the city, making people suffocate. On the city wall, from east to west, there are eight stout ladders that have been erected. Countless Jin soldiers and soldiers were like locusts, densely climbing up from the ground, but most of them had just crossed the middle line, and they fell to the city one after another, and they never crossed the city.

The sound of killing and screaming alone pierced people's eardrums. The soldiers of the Jin army, like dumplings, kept howling and falling, as if they had smashed heavily on Zhang Chun's heart. But Zhang Chun didn't feel sorry for the lives of his soldiers, he was anxious and hateful, why did he attack so strongly, and he still couldn't succeed for a while.

The military order changed, and the siege position immediately changed. The ladder was still silently leaning against the city, leaving corpses all over the place, and the soldiers retreated and no longer tried to cling to it. Before the city could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw countless Jin troops pouring out one after another, each carrying bags and baskets of soil on their shoulders, and rushing to the city. After a while, the appearance of a dirt mountain appeared. Zhang Chun wanted to pile up the soil into a mountain, and then he could rush up to the city along the dirt mountain.

When the city continued to pick up soil to build mountains, the city also immediately reacted. Still under the cover of the big shield, countless soldiers and civilians picked up buckets of water and splashed them down. The water was pervasive, the earth and mountains were soaked with water, and after a long time, they could no longer support it, and they collapsed with a bang, turning into a large muddy pond, and this attack turned into a futile attempt in a blink of an eye.

"Come on! Get on the bus! ”

With Zhang Chun's fierce reprimand, the rushing cart, which was heavier than the catapult, was pushed by a large number of soldiers, and resolutely crashed towards the city gate. With an earth-shattering bang, the gate was slammed into the city, and for a moment, it seemed that even the thick walls could not withstand such a violent force, and in the dust, many pieces of masonry and gravel fell from the trembling ropes. The city did not resist, and allowed the rushing cars to continue to crash wildly.

"Report to General Zhang! The enemy gates have been smashed open! ”

Zhang Chun was overjoyed when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and felt that he had revenge for evil.

Lintao City.

Sun Longzi led his army to regain the lost territory, but the army of the Luoyang people was not weak, and the initial attack could not be successful. When he was planning to attack or not, he was shocked to hear that Xiangwu was besieged on a large scale. Sun Long couldn't take care of each other, and he didn't know what to do for a while. When he was at a loss, after receiving Han Yong's urgent order, Sun Long quickly evacuated Longxi, led nearly 4,000 men and horses, and arrived at Lintao City, the southernmost part of Longxi, half an hour ago, and guarded Li Bao into the city.
