Chapter 1049: A Rush with Heavy Casualties
Under the night breeze, Wu Hu, who was shocked by the urgent news, completely sobered up.
He hurriedly left the table and ran to the head of the city, leaning down to look at the city by the moonlight, only to see dozens of large shield walls hundreds of paces away slowly squirming towards the north gate, and the black pressure was terrifying.
Syllable~
Wu Hu threw up a palm and slapped it on the city wall, ignoring the pain in his palm, and scolded angrily: "Male Gobi, look at the system of this shield, as well as the leather armor and long knife system, it is definitely the army of the government." Ninety percent of the Chang'an court sent officials and troops to conquer us! ”
As soon as these words came out, several henchmen and small leaders around him let out exclamations one after another, and they were all panicked.
"What's the panic?"
Wu Hu reprimanded fiercely and shouted: "A rough estimate is only a few thousand people, what do you scare you?" Where did the ruthlessness of the ransack and slaughter of the city go? What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you go down and give the order to Lao Tzu to shoot these dog soldiers of the court to death? ”
Suddenly, several small leaders ran wildly one after another, shouting in a panic:
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
"Don't eat it, you won't have your head if you eat it again!"
"The official army is coming, and the leader of Wu has an order, defend the city and release arrows!"
For a time, the already noisy city head was full of people coming and going, running frequently. After a while, there was the sound of bows and arrows drawn from time to time.
Whoosh~~
A rain of arrows shot towards the shield wall under the city like a goddess scattering flowers......
After waiting for three rounds of arrows to be fired at the head of the city, a small leader ran to Wu Hu with a depressed face and shouted: "Chief, no, the imperial court officials and soldiers are hundreds of steps away from us, too far, and they are not within the range of the bow and crossbow." ”
Syllable~
Wu Hu angrily slapped the little leader in the face with his backhand, and jumped to his feet angrily and said: "Lao Tzu saw it, bastard, you still release arrows even if you are not in range?" Idiot, three rounds of arrows have wasted nearly 10,000 arrow clusters, won't they be fired again when they get closer? ”
The little leader covered his swollen and aching cheeks and muttered aggrievedly, "Didn't you just order the arrows to be released, chief?" ”
Syllable~
Wu Hu slapped the other side of the little boss with his backhand, and scolded: "What are you talking about? Don't want to stop yet? The order was to go down and wait for the arrows to be fired within a hundred paces, and to prepare logs and stones, and when the officers and soldiers approached, they were all thrown into the city, to see if they could kill these dogs. ”
"Ouch, whoa!"
The little leader cried out in pain again, and ran down with a puff of smoke.
Wu Hu slapped his subordinates in the mouths and still didn't understand the hatred, spat on the ground, looked at the dozens of shield walls slowly approaching, and scolded hatefully: "When you get closer, Lao Tzu will let you come as many people as you want, and you will leave as many lives as you want." Do you really think that our White Lotus Sect is a rabble? Hum! ”
Under the city, dozens of shield walls continued to squirm forward at turtle speed.
Three hundred steps,
Two hundred steps,
One hundred and fifty steps,
One hundred and twenty steps,
One hundred steps.
Stopped.
Dozens of shield walls connected in a line, at a distance of a hundred paces, stopped!
Bang Bang~
The sound of neat footsteps suddenly remembered, and Wu Hu suddenly found that dozens of shield walls were moving left and right at the moment they stopped, and they were stunned to split a path in the middle.
What do they want to do?
Wu Hu suddenly had doubts in his mind, how could he separate a path for no reason. Could it be?
At this time, Ruan Laosan, who was hidden in the protective cover of the shield wall, shouted: "Zhang Zhiyong, I can only escort you here, and then it is up to you." ”
"Whoa!"
Zhang Zhiyong suddenly tightened the reins, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted at the thousand tigers behind him: "Brothers, rush and kill a hundred steps with a certain family, and break open the north gate for my Guangnan Road army." Capture the bandits alive! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill!"
"Kill!"
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhiyong took the lead in breaking out of the protective circle of the shield wall, leading a thousand sword and shield battalion death squads who shouted and shouted to kill, and rushed towards the north gate at the fastest speed.
"So it's a good play!"
On the city tower, Wu Hu saw the sudden scene, his heart suddenly understood, and he hurriedly shouted: "Release the arrows, release the arrows, you can't let these people rush to the city and crash open the city gate, the logs and stones are also beckoning, let them have no return!" ”
Whoosh~~
Bang bang bang ~~
Boom boom boom ~~
For a while, the bandit army of the White Lotus Sect at the head of the city took turns to shoot arrows, and Zhang Zhiyong led the army to attack in less than fifty paces before nearly 200 dead soldiers were shot.
By the time he led his team to thirty paces, most of the 1,000 dead had been killed or wounded.
Just as he and the remaining 500 men had just approached the city gate about ten paces, they were forced to retreat to about thirty paces by the logs and stones smashed down from the city.
Whoosh!
Zhang Zhiyong was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the war horse under his crotch had been shot into a hornet's nest, and with the cover of the war horse's corpse, he could have escaped a life.
When I looked around me again, there were only more than 300 people left in 1,000 people!
These more than 300 people survived by luck under the cover of a trench.
"Holy shit!"
Zhang Zhiyong directly pulled out the cluster of arrows on his shoulders with a fierce blow, and then grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and smeared it directly on the wound of the arrow to stop the bleeding. Then he shouted fiercely again: "Brothers, we can't retreat, if we retreat at this time, once we run back, we will become a living target before we return to the shield wall." Listen to someone's orders, rush again at the end, and forget the dead ball! ”
Zhang Zhiyong's words told the truth, and also inspired more than 300 people who were only alive in the trench, and for a while everyone shouted: "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, since you can't go back alive, let's rush again with Master Zhang." ”
"Medium!"
"Dog, death will hit him back to the city gate!"
"Listen to a certain order!"
Zhang Zhiyong secretly glanced at the top of the ditch, and saw that the clusters of arrows shot down from the top of the city were not so dense, so he immediately seized the opportunity to shout: "Rush out of the trench and hit the city gate again!" ”
Boom~
More than 300 people acted in unison, turned over and got out of the trench in one go, and rushed again in the direction of the city gate, which was thirty paces away.
"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"
At the head of the city, Wu Hu gave another order when he saw this.
After a while, Zhang Zhiyong's side was surrounded by more than 100 people who fell from arrows.
This can make Wu Hule on the head of the city crazy, bared his teeth and laughed loudly: "Tang Jun of the dog day, as many as you come, grandpa will kill you as much, see if there are more of you or grandpa's arrows!" ”
"Chief, Chief, Chief!"
A bandit soldier next to Wu Hu reminded: "The remaining 100 or so of them have attacked our city gate, and now they are banging on the door below!" ”
"Panic!"
Wu Hu was no longer panicked at the moment, and snorted: "Only more than a hundred people want to crash open the city gate? Do you really think that the gate of Qianzhou is made of rotten stones and rotten wood? Listening to Lao Tzu's order, he threw stones below and beckoned, killing one by one, and they only wanted to crash into this city gate with only a hundred people! ”
"Whoa!"
……
……
Under the city, although Zhang Zhiyong led the remaining more than 100 people to rush to the city gate, the Qianzhou city gate was too big and thick, and they couldn't shake it no matter how they hit it.
But now that it has reached this point, there is only one way to continue to bang on the door.
At the same time, a hundred steps away, Ruan Laosan within the shield wall was not calm. He watched Zhang Zhiyong lead a thousand people to rush and crash the door from beginning to end, and now there are more than 100 people left to kill and hit the door at the city gate, but where can he be happy?
I only heard him look at Zhang Zhiyong and the others who hit the wall at the city gate with a look of regret, and sighed: "In just a hundred steps, I lost my 900 brothers, this gang of dog-day bandits. Once Lao Tzu attacked Qianzhou City, he had to kill them alive. ”
A lieutenant next to him reminded: "Lord Lang, depending on the situation, it will be difficult for Officer Zhang and the more than 100 brothers to break open this city gate." It's too bad for them to crash into and break through the heavy gates, and they can't retreat and retreat. What should I do? ”
"Withdraw? How to withdraw? ”
Ruan Laosan pointed to the head of the North Gate with a face, and scolded: "There are at least thousands of bows and crossbows in the city, as long as they retreat, they will inevitably become live targets." Hey, Xue Rengui, what are you doing? ”
Ruan Laosan shouted, and the captain also turned his head to look at Xue Rengui beside him.
I saw that Xue Rengui actually asked two soldiers to lead the horse for him, while he himself stood on the horse's back, holding the iron tire bow with him in his hand, and after setting up an arrow cluster, he made a posture of sinking and bending the bow to shoot the eagle.
And the direction pointed by the arrow cluster seems to be the head of the North Gate City a hundred steps away.
Ruan Laosan drank again: "Xue Rengui, you give Lao Tzu down, is it possible that you really want to shoot the thieves a hundred steps away?" ”
"Humph!"
Xue Rengui didn't look back at Ruan Laosan, but snorted arrogantly and shouted: "Look at that burly thief at the head of the city who gives orders, he must be the leader of the bandits, and shooting him will definitely leave the bandit army leaderless." ”
"You kid really dare to be whimsical, hurry up and come down for me!"
"Don't be noisy, let's see if I can shoot him!"
Xue Rengui's voice fell, his fingers loosened, only to hear the sound of a bowstring, the arrow from the string had already been shot, and the iron cluster flew to the head of the city, making a sound of breaking the air, and went straight to Wu Hu, who was crazy with his teeth and claws on the head of the city......
