Chapter 179: The Flesh Gate
Several stacks of dry firewood drenched with fire oil were quickly piled up in the open space outside the camp, and the oil droplets slowly dripped down the dry firewood, and the violent volatility made the air fill the air with a pungent smell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ying Guang didn't seem to smell anything, waved his hand without changing his face, and the sergeant holding the torch next to him saw this, quickly ran forward a few steps, raised his hand, the torch turned over and smashed on the pyre, and the splashing sparks instantly ignited the continuous fire oil, only to hear the sound of "boom", the tumbling flames jumped up more than a foot high, like a vicious flame from hell, tearing the night sky like ink with teeth and claws, and scattering large patches of dark red blood.
"The bait has been laid, so it depends on the fish if they can't take the bait!"
Ying Guang turned around and quickly returned to the camp with the sergeant, the fire had already burned half of the night sky, and it was believed that it would not be long before the army of Wei would hit the door with great momentum.
"Pawn Army! Order the middle battalion, shout and sound the gong! ”
"No!"
It was late at night, Jiang Wei was going back and forth in his big tent, his face was full of exhaustion but there was no sleepiness, if Zhang Zhi couldn't succeed tonight, then he would have to face the fortified city of Yupan Mountain, but this kind of hard-fought killing hurt others even more to hurt himself, even if he could take the Yupanshan camp, his army would probably have to be disabled.
"General! Checkmate! ”
Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tent, mixed with excited shouts, the curtain was raised, and a small school ran in excitedly.
"General, there is a fire behind the mountain! The Yupan Mountain camp is in chaos! ”
"Good! It's time for a big deal! ”
Jiang Wei hammered his fist hard, stepped out of the camp tent in a few steps, climbed up the sentry tower with his hands and feet, looked up into the distance, and saw a faint fiery red in the distance!
"Good! Good! Good! Pass on my military orders! Beat the drums and siege the city! ”
The thunderous drums sounded, the frightened birds soared, the gate was wide open, and countless soldiers were like fierce beasts in the night, rushing out of their hiding places, no formation, no cover, only speed, the sooner they climbed to the top of the city, the better!
The night battle is very unfavorable to the defending side, because the open fire on the city is very conspicuous, but the city is pitch black, and it is not clear to see, only the enemy rushes to the city, and can see a faint figure by the faint firelight.
There was great chaos in the camp, and the city was attacked again, and the new soldiers defending the city were so distraught that they barely shot the arrows in their hands, and before the enemy could reach the top of the city, they were already routed and ran away.
The attacking Wei soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the city, desperately slashing and slashing the remaining guards, until they captured the city gate tower and opened the city gate, and the price paid was almost negligible.
The Wei soldiers, who continued to chase forward, couldn't help but have an illusion, that is, it was too smooth, and it didn't seem to be true, but no one would think about it, and the soldiers of the rear brigade swarmed in from the city gate and instantly filled the distance of more than 100 meters between the two city walls.
In front of him was the second wall, which was higher and more dangerous than the first, the only difference was that it was pitch black on the top of the city.
I don't know when, the city suddenly fell silent like a ghost, the Wei soldiers who rushed forward to kill held their war knives high, stopped in confusion, and the shouting of killing gradually stopped, and everyone finally felt a trace of strangeness.
At this moment, rows of figures suddenly stood up on the head of the city, and the arrows in their hands danced with flames, and an arrogant voice sounded over the heads of the people, and it was heard far away by the echo of the valley.
"Even the little ones dare to come and show their eyes! If you're here, you don't have to leave! ”
"Whoosh!"
The arrows with flames drew bright red lines in the night, nailed fiercely into the Wei soldiers, listening to the constant sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh around them, the people who reacted quickly desperately waved their weapons to resist, but when a round clay pot smashed on the ground, the broken tiles splashed around with a slimy liquid, and the pungent smell emitted made everyone desperate.
"Kerose!"
"Boom!"
There were several more human-shaped torches under the city in an instant, and the miserable cry and desperate running figure became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the remaining Wei soldiers turned around and ran desperately towards the city gate despite the arrows on the city's head! People are constantly being shot down by arrows, and people are constantly being ignited by fire oil, but no one cares about these anymore, they only have the narrow city gate hole in their eyes, as long as they pass through it, they can escape!
The Wei soldier closest to the city gate saw the opportunity quickly, and had rushed into the city gate hole, but those who came in were not as lucky as him, the door hole was too narrow, and there were too many people who came in, and they were squeezed into one place at once, these former robes showed the most selfish side of human nature in the face of life and death, the people who ran in front were dragged down by the people behind, and the people behind were pushed forward, but the feet were tripped by the people who fell before, trampled on each other, scolded each other, and they could escape partially, but they were blocked by their own people.
The crowd was still crowding, trampling, dragging and scolding forward, without thinking that it would be impossible to rush out by doing so. Seeing this, the guards at the head of the city quickly shifted the target of the attack, focusing on those Wei soldiers who continued to attack or wanted to escape from the city.
Look at the lucky soldier who escaped from the ascension, he ran forward a few steps in confusion, and heard a familiar whistling sound behind him.
"Buzz!"
It's a city defense crossbow!
It turned out that more than a dozen crossbow carts that had never been on the road had already been aimed at the city gate, and when most of the Wei soldiers gathered at the city gate, the city defense crossbow finally showed its bloody fangs! Four or five long crossbow arrows swirled and penetrated the human body, and swept into the city gate hole, and the crowded crowd had nowhere to hide, so they could only be pierced into a string and nailed to the ground! In just a moment, there were long crossbows on the city gate, and countless soldiers were intertwined and pierced together, and they were woven into a flesh and blood city gate!
There was the sound of bubbling water in my ears, and the sound was so loud that it even covered everyone's rapid breathing, it was blood, the blood of nearly two thousand people! The blood flowed down the hillside, converging into a pool of steaming blood in the low-lying places, and the coagulated blood transformed into clusters of purple and black, painting the city walls and covering the land, as if they were blooming flowers on the other side, fierce and enchanting.
Ao Lie's front battalion was cleaning the battlefield, mending the wounded soldiers of the Wei State, and with every step, a large amount of slime would stick to his feet, which was a mixture of flesh and blood, and the ground between the two city walls was full of such things. The most tragic thing is still at the city gate, where layers of corpses are held by long crossbows, as if they are exhibits, silently telling the cruelty of war! (To be continued.) )
