Chapter 603: Tough Cow Ren
Looking from the top of the city, there was a dense crowd of people below, and the overturned ladder came up again. Like moving ants, the soldiers climbed up the ladder, inspired by bows and arrows behind them, catapults, and artillery.
However, the emperor did not have a capable person like Yue Shao'an who brought technology from modern times, and the so-called artillery was only loud and powerful, which was much worse than Yue Shao'an's soil mines. For a city like Song Shicheng, which has thick walls and strong stones, it can basically only pretend to be a momentum, but there is no real threat.
However, the deafening sound really raised the morale of the besieging soldiers.
Yue Shao'an looked at all this, his face suddenly sank, thinking of Liu Bonan's death, his heart had a terrible headache, he slammed his fist on the city wall, and said to Niu Ren: "Hold on for another half an hour, you can let some people in, but you have to promise that you can clear out at any time." β
When Niu Ren heard this, his forehead sweated, this task is not difficult, if he is asked to guard and prevent the other party from coming in, he is absolutely sure. However, it is now required that people be let in, and that they should be able to be kicked out at any time. This is difficult to do, and the other party is not a child, so he will run away as soon as he catches up. Still, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Yue Shaoan patted Niu Ren's shoulder and said, "Old Niu, I know this is a bit difficult. I trust you, though. As he spoke, he handed him the talisman in his hand, and said, "From now on, when I am not in the city, all the soldiers and horses will be under your full command." Don't let me down......"
Niu Ren took the talisman with both hands, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said solemnly: "Brother Yue, don't worry. Niu Ren is in the city, even if Niu Ren is gone, the city must still be there. β
Yue Shao'an nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the city. As he walked, he turned his head sideways and said to Zhuo Yan: "Call Zhu Chongyi." β
Zhuo Yan agreed, didn't dare to have a trace of slackness, and hurriedly sent someone to call Zhu Chongyi.
On the top of the city, Niu Ren suddenly took off the armor on his body, held the war knife in his hand, and shouted, "Brothers, success or failure depends on today." If it's a handle, I'll follow Lao Tzu to killβ"
"Killβ"
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook for miles.
After Niu Ren sent several important openings to defend with heavy troops, he relaxed the rest of the city slightly, and the attack under the city was too fierce now, so it was a little difficult to resist, and the troops in these places were relaxed, and the enemy army suddenly climbed up to the city.
Niu Ren took the big knife in his hand, turned back to Zhang Heng, and said, "Brother Zhang Heng, I'll leave it to you here." β
Zhang Henghu's eyes widened, the hand holding the long stick grabbed suddenly, and replied loudly: "Brother Niu Ren, don't worry, if there is a slight mistake, Zhang Heng will raise his head to see him." β
Niu Ren listened, turned his head suddenly, shouted, and rushed towards the enemy, and the soldiers behind him, led by him, were also fierce and fearless of death, and rushed straight away.
The two armies collided together like two rushing streams of water, but the splash was red blood.
Niu Ren slashed left and right with a war knife, and the muscles cut out by the knife all over his body had been dyed blood-red, and his eyes were wide, as if his eyeballs were almost about to fall out.
The sword split an enemy in half from top to bottom, and the internal organs and blood mixed with various brains were scattered all over the ground, and at that moment, a gun stabbed straight from his side. Niu Ren turned sideways, but he was a few steps late, the tip of the spear passed through his flesh, and a half-foot-long hole on his thigh appeared there.
Niu Ren grabbed the barrel of the gun with one hand, raised his head and screamed, and suddenly pulled the man closer with a sudden force on his arm. After swinging his knife and slashing at a person who was about to sneak attack, he bit the man's neck.
The scream was accompanied by the sound of a broken throat, Niu Ren lifted him up, waved his hand and threw him into the crowd, shouting loudly: "Kill-" As soon as the word kill came out, the blood of the person in his mouth spurted out, and the whole person seemed to be incarnated as a god. It was chilling, and for a while, no one dared to approach him.
At this time, his men had already rushed to the front of him, shouting and killing, and the enemy's offensive was immediately suppressed.
The emperor watched from below, and when he saw that he had rushed to the city, he was overjoyed and was watching, when he suddenly saw that he was suppressed again. He was frightened and ordered the army to attack with all its might.
A general beside him, seeing that the emperor actually sent all the people out to attack the city, was shocked, and hurriedly admonished: "Your Majesty, you must not do this." β
The Emperor frowned and said, "Are you doubting my decision?" β
The man saw the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister has no such intention, but that Yue Shaoan is cunning and changeable, if he sets up a team of ambush soldiers outside the city, and there is no one to protect the emperor." That ......"
He didn't say anything, but the implication was something that everyone could hear. The emperor frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Then leave 10,000 soldiers behind, and you will be responsible for escorting." β
"Yes!"
Such a small episode, but it saved the emperor's life, outside the city, Yue Shao'an has always had 5,000 men and horses hidden in the dense forest not far from this, if the emperor really sent all the people out, the rear air defense is weak, that team of men and horses is easy to take advantage of the night to kill the generals, come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary. However, in this scene, nothing is done.
After the additional troops were dispatched, the battle above and below the city became even more tragic, Niu Ren had been injured in many places, but Han Yong was still abnormal. But Zhang Chusan was put aside by Niu Ren to watch the battle, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry at this moment, walking around with a giant sword, constantly scolding.
The 70,000 troops under the city attacked with all their might, and the drawbridge in front of the city gate had been unloaded, and the sound of hitting the city gate came in waves, and the soldiers guarding the city inside lined up into a mountain of people, blocking it with all their strength.
It's not that there is no better way, the jack gate on the top of the city gate has been horizontal above, but Yue Shao'an has already ordered that it must not be put down unless it is absolutely necessary.
In this way, the battle entered a glued state for a while, the two sides mixed together in a bloody battle, the soldiers defending the city continued to lose, Niu Ren had already killed red eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse, but he was still shouting.
At this moment, suddenly, three cannons rang out in succession in the city.
Niu Ren heard the sound of cannons and knew that Yue Shao'an was asking him to drive all the people in the city down, so he immediately became ambitious, retreated a distance, and shouted at Zhang Chusan, "Zhang Chusan, you grandson, have you fucking rested enough, and you don't want to give it to Lao Tzu?" β
Zhang Chusan was scolded so stunned, turned his head sideways, and said in his heart, didn't you let Lao Tzu wait here? Do you think Lao Tzu is willing?
However, he didn't have the heart to care about these now, his hands were already itching, and when he heard this, he immediately raised his giant sword and shouted: "Follow Lao Tzu to rush-"
The high-pitched voice of the soldier behind him came out, and then rushed up after him.
Zhang Chusan, who had been holding back for so long, once he rushed into the enemy group, the whole person was happy, he was the least afraid of the melee, the giant sword was swung up, as if he had inexhaustible strength all over his body, as long as his enemies were all knocked out. His men were also extremely brave, and they violently suppressed the arrogance of the enemy.
Suddenly, Zhang Chusan felt a person rushing up behind him, he didn't even look at it, and his backhand was a sword. "Whenβ" After a loud bang, he was a little different, this person was not actually sent away.
At this time, a scolding voice came from behind him: "Zhang Bald, you bastard, Lao Tzu also beats?" β
Zhang Chusan looked back, only to see Hong Meng's face pale, but a spear in his hand had been played at a right angle, his hands were dripping with blood, and he couldn't stop panting between cursing. However, he hates people scolding him for being bald, and when he heard this, he was not angry, and said: "Stay away from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't need anyone to help here." If you get closer, you hate it even more......"
Hong Meng was extremely angry, but he was speechless, he knew that in the face of this stunned young man, to be reasonable, it was undoubtedly playing the piano to the cow. With a cold snort, he threw the spear aside, picked up a war knife from the ground, and rushed into the enemy line again......
