Chapter 133: Bloody Battle
Looking at the crowd surging over like a tide under the city, Xiang Luyang waved his right hand with a familiar copper mace: "Let's go!" ”
In an instant, all the improvised siege engines on the city wall opened fire together, and the huge ten pieces, mixed with the sound of breaking wind, smashed into the crowd, and for a while the wails came and went.
After a round of salvo, the Haisha Gang under the city, more than 300 people died here in an instant, and more than 100 people also lost their combat effectiveness, although there were companions around them from time to time who fell, but this did not stop the progress of the Haisha Gang, these people knew in their hearts that Chong had a chance to live, not even a chance to live, not only themselves, but even their families, so they could only grit their teeth now and rush forward.
Seeing that the first ** blow did not stop the offensive of the Haisha Gang, Xiang Luyang shouted loudly to the back: "Fire attack!" ”
At the sound of an order, all the engineering machines were loaded with balls made of rattan, these balls, with a diameter of one zhang, were filled with some wine jars filled with fire oil, and after the rattan was ignited, the operator did not launch it immediately, but waited for the rattan to burn out before launching the fireballs.
This is also Xiang Luyang's explanation in advance, when the rattan is about to burn out, shoot out the fireball, due to inertia and burning, the rattan will be overwhelmed and break in the air, and the wine jar inside will be scattered, with the fire of the rattan, all the wine jars will burn, and after it lands, it will cause a wide range of damage.
After the wine jar fell to the ground, the firelight and wailing rose into the air at the same time, looking at the Haisha gang minions rolling in the fire, Hai Lie waved the long sword in his hand and said, "Release the arrow!" ”
The rain of arrows flew towards the city wall in an instant, and three thousand people fired a volley, what a momentum, if the attack worked, one round could make all the people on the city wall lose their combat effectiveness.
"Put the wooden wall" With Xiang Luyang's order, inside the city wall, eight hundred Dengzhou people let go of the rope in their hands at the same time, and a wooden wall with a height of three zhang instantly appeared on the city wall.
These wooden walls, all of which are spliced together with door panels, are connected by two logs on the back, with the inner wall of the city wall as the fulcrum, when not in use, rise with a rope, when there is a bow and arrow attack, as long as the rope is loosened, it is a defensive barrier in an instant, which is the most basic principle of lever use, which is also the method that Luo Tianwu thought of temporarily when arranging the engineering machine.
The advantage of this kind of barrier is not only to defend against the attack of bows and arrows, but also to play the role of straw boats borrowing arrows.
After the wooden wall was raised, the people of the Haisha Gang had already rushed to the city wall, and some of them were fast, and they had already begun to climb up the city wall along the ladder.
While pushing the ladder out with a hook rod, Xiang Luyang commanded people to pour fire oil under the city, and in an instant, the city wall became a sea of fire.
Hai Lie, who was standing in the distance at this time, watched his subordinates continue to consume in the fire, forcibly suppressed the idea of retreating, and said viciously: "Pass my order, the other three gates, each leave a thousand people to guard the city gate, and the others all come to attack the city." ”
It turned out that at the beginning of the attack, Hai Lie did not adopt the four-door style of playing, although he did not understand military affairs, but he also knew that if he wanted to go to the city wall, he must use human pads, and instead of losing the four gates together, it was better to attack in one direction and open a gap, so that he could reduce some losses.
Half an hour later, the reinforcements from the other three gates had all arrived, and even Lin Haoran and a few other leaders came over, looking at the city gate that had not been attacked for a long time, Lin Haoran said: "Big brother, you are here to press the formation, I will personally lead people." ”
Hai Lie said: "No, it's too dangerous, let's wait and see." ”
Lin Haoran said: "It's too late, we can't watch the family of the Haisha Gang, just fight it out, you press the formation, I will take a team of people with good light skills, fly directly to the city wall, I can give you time to buy a stick of incense, as long as you can let the large army rush to the city wall in this time of sticking incense, we will pass the current level." ”
He patted Lin Haoran on the shoulder heavily, "Half a pillar of incense time, as long as you can give me time to buy half a pillar of incense, I can let the large army rush to the city wall." ”
Lin Haoran said: "Okay, I'll go back and pick people, and after a stick of incense, I'll act together." ”
Seeing that the people of the Haisha Gang were finally repulsed, Xiang Luyang waved his hand to stop the attack behind, and then began to order people to transport the corpses and wounded on the city wall, and replenished the oil and stones.
Only then did he say to Ye Qiushui beside him: "You go to the other three city gates and transfer Marco and them all back, the Haisha Gang will not stop there, they must be adjusting their tactics and preparing for the next attack." ”
Not long after, Marco, Luo Tianwu, and the injured Wu Ran, Gao Biying, and Ma Jinbao all came to Xiang Luyang's side, Xiang Luyang glanced at Wu Ran and said, "The injury on your leg is still not free to move, why did you come with you?" ”
Wu Ran smiled and said: "Although my legs are inconvenient, my hands can still move, and I don't need my legs to shoot." ”
Now is the time to employ people, Xiang Luyang did not have too much hypocrisy, stretched out his hand and called Zhou Tiezhu, and asked him to arrange two people to be responsible for carrying Wu Ran back and forth.
After this hour of bloody battles, Zhou Tiezhu already had a new understanding of the cruelty of war, so he didn't dare to be careless, and found four young and strong soldiers and asked them to take turns to be in charge of Wu Ran's actions.
Then he quietly whispered in the ears of these people: "If the enemy attacks the city wall, don't care what Wu Ran says, you must transfer him as soon as possible." ”
After arranging this qiē, Xiang Luyang ordered someone to take down all the arrows on the wooden wall, this thing was placed on it and sunk, not to mention, it was possible to fall into the city, and there was no reason to throw away the things in hand.
Looking at Xiang Luyang, who was commanding the arrows, Ma Ke said to Zhou Tiezhu beside him: "I can't see it, the boss is so good at living!" ”
Zhou Tiezhu glanced at him and said: "You know a fart, those are all life-changing, in the hands of the Haisha Gang, it is us who lose their lives, and in our hands, they are the ones who lose their lives." ”
"In this Dengzhou City, even the iron pot is going to be smashed now, in order to make more arrows."
Marco glanced at Zhou Tiezhu and said: "Okay, brute, being the battalion commander is different, this overall awareness has improved!" ”
Zhou Tiezhu said: "That is, we are also a battalion-level military commander now, which is different from you, the big soldier." ”
After that, he got into trouble with Marco.
looked at the commander of the city defense battalion, who usually had a black face, actually fighting with a small man, and the soldiers resting on the city wall all smiled.
Xiang Luyang had just put away all the arrows here, and before he could rest, the war drums of the Haisha Gang rang out again!
