"Don't panic! Steady! Remove these stones first, and as long as the ladder cart leans against the city wall, they can rush up and kill them! The leading generals were also experienced, and immediately commanded the sword and shield men to remove the stones in front of the ladder cart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that as soon as the Yuan saber and shield men cleared the stones in front of the ladder car, another wave of stones rolled down from the city, blocking the path of the ladder car again, and at the same time killing many Yuan saber and shield men.

"Hookgunner!!

As the order was issued, the hook gunners of the Yuan army, who were hiding behind the two thousand sword and shield men, quickly left the bunker, quickly avoided the big stones, ran under the city wall, and threw out black ropes.

The heads of these black ropes were tied with a hook, and the moment they were thrown onto the wall, they were nailed to the inner wall of the wall, and then, a group of hook gunners climbed the city wall along these black ropes.

"Da Shuai (the leaders of the rebel army are mostly called Da Shuai, such as Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, who are respected as Guo Dashuai, Sun Dashuai within the Righteous Army), this is the specialty of the Yuan army's hook gunners, and the city occupied by many rebel brothers in the past was used by these hook gunners to climb the city with this strange thing, so that the city was broken!" Next to Deng Yu, a veteran saw that many hook gunmen were climbing along the black rope, and couldn't help but remind Deng Yu with a nervous expression.

When Deng Yue heard this, he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and a panic arose, just when Deng Yue was a little at a loss, the veteran who had just reminded Deng Yu said again: "Dashuai, how should we deal with it?" ”

This inquiry was like a drink, pulling Deng Yu's thoughts back, thinking that as the commander, if he showed panic, he would definitely shake the morale of the army, and immediately forcibly calmed down.

Deng Yu's mind was racing, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he calmly ordered: "Everyone will pour boiling water down three rounds, and then immediately cut these hooks and ropes!" ”

Seeing that their commander was steady and not panicked, the defenders also calmed down, and according to Deng Yu's instructions, they first poured out the boiling water in the cauldron.

The boiling water was heated for a long time, and those hookgunners who were climbing the city gate were suddenly splashed by the boiling water, and suddenly white gas came out of their bodies, making a sound of 'snort~snort~sss

The Yuan soldiers under the city looked at the **** that fell from time to time, listening to the strange sound of scalding the skin and flesh, and suddenly felt a panic and a chill.

And the generals who were in charge of command before, several of them were drenched on the head by boiling water, and their heads were red and scary, rolling around on the ground, screaming constantly, and it seemed that they had lost their command ability.

Not long after the first wave of boiling water attacks, two more rounds of boiling water were spilled, and all the hookgunners who climbed fell down, suffering more than half of the casualties.

At this time, the defenders at the head of the city quickly cut off the black rope that was nailed to the city wall, and after cutting, they immediately returned to their original defensive positions and waited for Deng Yu's order.

"The archers immediately opened their bows and arrows, the Mongol cavalry was about to attack, and the others prepared big rocks and tried their best to block the enemy's sword and shield men from approaching with the ladder cart!" Deng Yue had a cold face and ordered majestically.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Mongol cavalry to rush suddenly, and at a distance of about 150 meters from the city wall, they rushed back and forth, pinning down most of the rebel archers.

"Marshal, this Mongolian cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and we wait for empty arrows but have little effect!"

"Dashuai, this ladder car is getting closer and closer, there are too many sword and shield hands underneath, plus the remaining hook gunners have also joined, the stone attack we are waiting for can't stop their progress!"

Bad news came from both sides at the same time, Deng Yu remained silent, without a trace of panic, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic! Keep attacking, and the most important thing is to stabilize your position right now! ”

Deng Yu knew that as the command center, he must not have a trace of panic, otherwise the entire defender army would be discouraged, and with such a fierce offensive of the Yuan army, Xuyi City would definitely not be able to hold it.

The offensive and defensive sides were at a stalemate for a while, and although the Yuan troops were constantly approaching the city wall, the number of dead and wounded was also shocking.

Batu saw that his soldiers were constantly falling, or were killed by arrows, stoned, or scalded by boiling water, and even if they were carried away by hatred, they were still dripping with blood.

"What kind of person is this Xuyi City in command, unchaotic and orderly, but the army is less than half of the imperial army, but it has always had the upper hand. Could it be that Deng Yu who killed Lin'er again, the wolf cub is only sixteen years old, if it is him, it is really terrifying, this wolf cub is not only good at charging into battle, but even defending the city against the enemy is also extremely good! ”

Batu stared at Xuyi City with his eyes, his killing intent was intense, and he thought that after the city was broken, he would definitely torture Deng Yu to the point that life was worse than death.

At the head of Xuyi City, Deng Yue saw the Mongolian cavalry galloping back and forth, using superb horsemanship and archery skills to bring huge damage to the defenders of the city while containing the archers at the head of the city, he couldn't help frowning, and shouted coldly: "Where is Deng Ming?" ”

Deng Ming, the word Boyi, is the brother of Deng Yue, eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, two arms and huge strength, good at broadswords and hard bows, although there is no talent of generals, but he is brave and extraordinary, and often charges into battle with Deng Yu.

"The last general!" Deng Ming threw the two stones in his hand (the standard for one stone in this article is 60 kilograms) to the guards, ran quickly to Deng Yu's side, and bowed.

Deng Yu glanced at Deng Ming and ordered: "Boyi, you lead five hundred troops to transfer all the catapults in the city to the city, the range of the catapults can reach four hundred meters, you can lead people to send stones from the city, you can destroy the enemy cavalry!" ”

"Yes!" Deng Mingwen promised angrily, and then left quickly with the people of the headquarters.

About half an hour later, more than 20 catapults were assembled, and with Deng Ming's order, more than 20 hundred-pound boulders made a 'boom' sound of breaking the sky, and attacked the Mongolian cavalry outside the city.

A group of Mongolian cavalry were using superb cavalry and archery skills to tease the archers in the city, and suddenly, dozens of hundred-pound boulders shot like meteorites outside the sky and smashed into the Mongolian cavalry ranks.

For a time, the Mongol cavalry fell one after another, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and people and horses neighed and screamed together, and their eyes were full of blood, like the end of the world.

The threat of the Mongol cavalry was lifted, and Deng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and just as Deng Yue was trying to expand the results of the battle, a sergeant came to report that the large stones and sassal wood stored at the head of the city were exhausted.

Deng Yu's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze to the corridor at the head of the city, only to see that there was not much left of the original piles of materials for defending the city, and due to the slowdown of the falling of stones and wood, the Yuan saber shield hand and the hook gunner accelerated the advance speed of the ladder car.

"Pap~Pap~Papa~!!"

Several crisp sounds suddenly appeared, and five or six ladder carts leaned against the city wall, and then countless Yuan saber shield bearers and hook gunmen screamed and climbed up the ladder, scrambling to kill the head of Xuyi City.

"Marshal, the Yuan saber shield hand and the hook gunner are approaching through the cloud ladder!" A young man in his seventeens or eighteens, armed with a silver gun, shouted to Deng Yu worriedly.

This young man's surname is Li, his name is Ke, and his words are cloudy, and he is Deng Yu's hair. Li Ke has loved to read poetry since he was a child, and although he has good marksmanship, he advocates planning and then acting, and rarely fights the enemy in close combat.

Deng Yu nodded, tried to stabilize his mind, and ordered: "The crossbowman listens to the order and releases the arrow at full speed!" ”

As soon as an order came out, Deng Yu instructed Li Ke again: "Yunqi, you lead a spearman to keep an eye on the various ladder interfaces, and you must not let the enemy army climb to the top of the city!" ”

Li Ke heard the order and nodded heavily.
