Zhou Tai was greatly moved when he saw that the crossbowmen of the Holy Mother Sect in the city had launched arrows at their own army formation without counting the casualties. He originally thought that his "desperate Saburo" was enough to die, but he never thought that the people of the Holy Mother Sect were better.

He immediately realized that the army in front of him was completely different from the soldiers who had fought in the past, and they would not lose their morale because of the unfavorable situation in the battle, and then the army would be defeated. He vaguely felt that the real wall of Xiangyang City was not the high wall made of rammed earth in front of him, but the flesh and blood and the resolute and strong spirit of the city head.

The city of Xiangyang is not easy to attack.

However, as the only way to go north, it is impossible to attack Chang'an without taking Xiangyang. If they don't take Chang'an within a month and a half, Luan Yi's army will come to their aid and return all the victories they have won so hard.

Therefore, Xiangyang cannot be attacked without attacking, and it must be captured as soon as possible.

With this decision, Zhou Tai launched a ruthless attack. As soon as he threw away the shield in his hand, he snatched a large bow from the soldier's hand and shot it at the head of the city, and the long arrow broke through the air, hitting the neck of a church archer.

The church guard didn't have time to scream, clutched his neck, and carried him down to the city.

"Sons, kill me!" Under the guidance of Zhou Tai, the archers of the Jiangdong Army frantically launched a return shot at the head of Xiangyang City.

The two sides went back and forth, shooting stones at each other for many rounds, and after handing over more than 3,000 corpses together, Zhou Tai's army finally touched the city of Xiangyang. He drew 18,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city wall with a ladder, thus suppressing the offensive of the church guards at the head of the city. He personally led 20,000 soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the breach of Xiangyang City.

This is where the bloody white-knuckle battle begins.

On the city wall, under the order of the ban, one hundred and fifty oil pots were overturned together, pouring hot oil on the city.

The 3,000-degree hot oil poured on the body is not a joke, it is easy to get wet, and the possession is a blood blister. Where the oil was stained, the skin turned to charcoal in an instant, and the tendons and flesh fell off the body like dust. What's even more palpitating is that the boiling oil is poured on the helmet and armor, because of the super thermal conductivity of the metal, the skin immediately sticks to the inside of the armor, and it can't be torn off no matter how hard it is.

The fire tar, Xiangyang City was burning when it landed, and the Jiangdong soldiers carried the fire to put hundreds of cloud ladders on the head of the city, and began to climb the city bravely against the smoke of the flames.

"Rolling Wood and Stones, Hurry Up......" Logs nailed with iron nails fell from the sky, and a row of corpses rolled down was a shocking scene. The full text of the latest chapter reading took advantage of the Jiangdong soldiers to fall into the city, the church guards who were ready to go, the five of them stood up to a long fight, and pushed forward with the ladder on the female wall.

The two sides went back and forth, and fell into a fierce battle.

At the same time, the main army led by Zhou Tai himself also engaged in a fierce battle with the church army led by Li Dian at the gap in the city wall. At the gap of more than three zhang wide, the chariots lined up brought a lot of trouble to Zhou Tai, and the crackling logs and stray arrows on the city wall also greatly increased the casualties of Zhou Tai's army.

Zhou Tai was furious, "Ascend the city, and give Lao Tzu more strength." Archers, suppress, suppress, give Lao Tzu a stand. ”

The phalanx of archers, lined up, threw arrows desperately at the head of the city under the cover of shield soldiers. Arrows rained down on hundreds of church guards who threw rocks at the top of the city. For a moment, the church guards were overwhelmed by the dense rain of arrows.

Zhou Tai suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and he concentrated all his energy on breaking through Li Dian's defense.

Groups of Jiangdong shield soldiers poured into the gap, covering the spearmen behind them, clearing the roadblocks along the way. Li Dian shouted at the top of his voice and ordered the church guards in the city pass to fight hard, and the longbow "buzzed" and shot non-stop and fired at the archers in the rear of the Jiangdong army.

Ahead, the Church Knife and Axe Men and Jiang Dong pawns fell into a close encounter, and with the order to "kill the ......", spears stabbed out like a forest, knocking down a row of corpses.

Jiang Dong's pawn in the back row rushed to kill with a gun, "Take your life!" "Splitting the head and covering the face is a wild stab.

Blood was sprinkled in the dust, and more than 70 guards died on the spot.

Precious lives became cheap in the fierce white-knuckle battle, and with every respite, hundreds of lives flew by with time, and the war immediately fell into a stalemate.

And the so-called stalemate is precisely based on the landfill of human life.

More and more people died in battle, and two lines of corpses were formed on the south and north sides of the gap in the wall. On the south side are the Jiangdong Army wearing light red army uniforms, and on the north side are the gray-robed and silver-armored church guards.

The corpses piled up more and more, and it became like two small mountains.

In the face of layers of corpses and terrible screams, the Jiangdong army became more and more frightened, and Zhou Tai became more and more frightened. Although the church soldiers in front of them suffered heavy casualties, they did not show any fear or sorrow in the cruel battle, and there was only calm and resoluteness on their faces with very different faces, and the monstrous anger after the death of their comrades. This anger quickly turned into hatred, written in their red eyes.

They just follow the rules and follow the orders. When one of the guards in front falls, someone will immediately follow, doing everything in their power to avenge the death of their comrades. Then it falls, and someone else follows, and so on, like an emotionless machine.

Their cold eyes were like a bunch of cold arrows, shooting at the body of Jiang Dong's pawn and drilling into Jiang Dong's heart.

The initial vigor of the Jiangdong pawns had been consumed in the stalemate, and in the face of the difficulties and dangers that could not be attacked for a long time, their confidence suddenly fell by eighty.

So the Jiangdong pawns were scared. They were not afraid of fierce lions or warlike barbarians, but they were afraid of the eerie silence of war, and this tranquility was due to the spirit of the Church Guardians who regarded death as home.

Out of fear, they no longer dared to fight for their lives against the defenders of the Church. But in the close-range white-knuckle fight, it is precisely one breath - courage and morale.

Courage plummeted, morale collapsed, and the casualties of Jiangdong's soldiers were further increased. Jiang Dong's front immediately began to retreat.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai was in a hurry, picked up a big knife, and slashed the two soldiers who were trying to escape to the ground. shouted at the top of his voice, "Resist it for me." Those who retreat die. ”

The bishop of the military church, dressed in brown linen robes and wearing a cross badge on his chest, walked back and forth in the military formation with an iron horn in one hand and the Sutra of Our Lady in the other. Your spirits will rejoice in Our Lady, and the Holy Cross of Honor will be your stepping stone to the gates of Heaven, and you will be welcomed into the kingdom of eternal life by holy angels. ”

"The light of holiness shines on the earth. Children of Our Lady, my brothers, let us expel evil from our beautiful homeland with unwavering faith and faithful faith, for the sake of Our Lady and for the glory of the Lord Mother. ”

Highly incendiary religious rhetoric spread across the battlefield, like a shot in the arm to boost the morale of the church defenders. The eyes of the Church Guardians turned from pink to blood-red, like bulls with full strength.

Zhou Tai saw that it was not possible to continue like this, so he picked up a bow and arrow to target the chattering priest. The long arrow pierced through the air and shot into the priest's chest, and blood gushed out, staining his robe and the "Sutra of Our Lady" in his hand with blood and blood.

However, something unexpected happened to Zhou Tai. After the priest fell, another clergyman of the Church came out, picked up the priest's tin trumpet and the Sutra of Our Lady and continued to mobilize, "God's people are inexhaustible. When one of God's guardians falls, thousands of God's people will rise. ”

Obviously, this sentence is not only to boost morale, but also specially said to Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and fired three arrows in succession, killing three divine servants one after another.

At this time, the Servant of God said that "the people of Our Lady will not be killed" was confirmed, and one by one the Servant of God fell, and others followed, holding their chests out like his "predecessor", and chanting in the crowd the proverbs that only the Virgin believers could understand. Although their eyes were full of tears, their expressions were unusually determined, "God's people, let us join hands and avenge our brothers who have returned to heaven!" ”

It was also at this time that the drums of war in the city suddenly rose three octaves, much louder than before.

Accompanied by rumbling war drums, there were heralds from the church running back and forth, "Brothers, Cao Gong personally went into battle to cheer for us and other thunder drums!" ”

"Brothers, Cao Gong personally went into battle to cheer for me and waited for the thunder drum!"

The coach personally thundered the drums, what a sentiment this is, it is equivalent to fighting side by side with them! The guardians of the Cult of Our Lady were boiling, and the fierceness in their eyes was even brighter than before. "For the glory of the Blessed Virgin, kill and kill ......"

With the three murderous words that frightened a Jiangdong soldier, he was terrified. Trembling with spears, he did not dare to step forward to meet the enemy, but was counterattacked by the guards of the church, and in one fell swoop pushed through the gap in the city wall and rushed out of the city.

"Resist it all! A bunch of waste. Zhou Tai was in a hurry, picked up the sword and shield, and personally killed the front. Slash left and right to knock down two guards.

Li Dian saw Zhou Tai from afar and shouted angrily: "Zhou Tai's dog thief is rampant, and grandpa Li Mancheng is here." ”

Li Dian also holds a short knife in one hand and a shield in one hand. Rushed into the Jiangdong army like a wolf, and took several lives to attack Zhou Tai.

"Good time!" Zhou Tai raised his knife to meet him, raised his hand to raise fire to the sky, and smashed it on Li Dian's shield.

"Boom!" Sparks splash. Under the action of the huge force, Li Dian took two steps back. I was secretly shocked in my heart, "This desperate San Lang has two hits!" Without much hesitation, Li Dian's center of gravity was short, and turning over was a sweeping leg.

Zhou Taifei dodged and slashed Huashan with a backhand.
