Chapter 194: The Bloody Battle of Shangqi

"Siege!"

With Li Xiangru's order, the Wudu soldiers and horses and Qiang soldiers of each battalion to the village poured into Shangqi City like a tide, or carried a cloud ladder, or a shield, or held a spear, or a bow and crossbow, and once again crossed the moat and launched a fierce attack on Shangqi.

As the deputy general of the army, Vatong could have commanded the city without attacking the city, but he thought of the abundant materials in Shangtai City, and at the moment, relying on his high martial arts, he abandoned his horse and walked on foot, charged in front of all the sergeants with a horse lance, crossed the moat with agility, and personally carried the ladder to climb to the head of Shangqi City. Encouraged by Vatong, the Qiang soldiers behind him howled, wielding scimitars and round shields, and marched forward bravely.

Ten thousand arrows were fired at the head of the city, and the rolling stones and trees kept smashing down.

Shot by random arrows, the Qiang and Han miscellaneous soldiers who were smashed by wood and stone abounded, not very good work, the corpses were all over the field under the city, bleeding and drifting, but the number of soldiers and horses in Wudu was too huge, there were crossbowmen in the crowd from time to time to return fire on the city wall, and the defenders also fell to the ground from time to time with arrows, and for a while, the city became a small meat grinder.

Ten thousand arrows on the city head, the attack under the city wall is like a tide, nearly a thousand crossbowmen on both sides began to shoot at each other, you open a bow on both sides, I pull a string, for a while, the arrows on and under the city are like a tide, like locusts like rain, there are soldiers who are shot over in a pool of blood, or fall directly from the city tower, because it is a high-altitude fall, the corpse carries the gravity of the thunderous force to kill and injure a Wudu army.

Rushing forward with the anti-cloud ladder, the horse lance danced like a windmill with one hand, and the dripping water wrapped up and down the body did not leak, and the oncoming arrow rain hit the ground one after another.

Looking down from the sky, the tide-like Wudu Army seemed to be a dense ant colony, surging towards Shangtai City like a move, with a posture of vowing to devour flesh and bones, and Shangtai City was like a thing that exuded the fragrance of meat in their eyes.

But in a moment's effort, in a rain of arrows in the sky, Vatong was the first to rush to the bottom of Shangqi City, and with a "clang", the cloud ladder was erected on the city wall.

The top of the ladder is about half a zhang away from the battlement, which not only allows the attackers to climb the wall easily, but also makes it impossible for the defenders at the head of the city to easily knock down the ladder, unless they lean out from between the battlements, but this is bound to face the risk of death, and the enemy crossbowmen under the city wall are not puppet statues.

"Ascending the Ladder"

The burly, tiger-backed warrior roared with a tiger roar, and took the lead in waving his horse lance and began to climb.

He was followed by dozens of fierce Qiang soldiers, all with shields on their heads and machetes in their hands, clustered under the ladder, and climbed up one after another.

Cheng Yu saw the arrival of the soldiers on the city wall, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, it seemed that this was a fierce general of the enemy army, and hurriedly beckoned: "Where is the crossbowman, shoot this traitor for me"

After receiving Cheng Yu's general order, dozens of crossbowmen hiding under the city wall surrounded them one by one, stretched out their bows and crossbows from the probing holes in the battlements, and rushed towards the war.

The wrestlers in charge of throwing stones also selected the largest boulder, even a rock of more than 200 catties, ready to be used to greet the fellow, one person can't hold it, two people can move, two people can't move it, three people can't move, in short, no matter what, the enemy will be smashed to the bones.

All of a sudden, the rain of arrows coming towards Vatong suddenly became several times denser, and most of them were powerful Qin crossbows, which were not only fast, but also highly lethal, and the continuous rain of arrows in the sky was like a flood beast, rolling up a sharp sound of breaking the sky to face Vatong and the other surrounding soldiers.

"Roar!"

Van Tong kept roaring, cheering up the soldiers behind him while also intimidating the defenders on the city wall, and the torrential rain of arrows and stones were ruthlessly shot down by the horse lance in his hand, like a broken wave hitting the reef, and the waves splashed in an instant, scattering in all directions.

But the soldiers behind Fan Tong did not have such ability, and when the firepower on the city wall was strengthened several times, the shield in his hand could not cover his body from time to time, and he was shot by a crossbow arrow, that is, he was smashed by a boulder, like a dumpling in a pot, and fell down the city tower with a "poof" and "poof".

However, this did not make the other Qiang soldiers retreat, their eyes were fierce, and they stepped on the corpse of the robe to charge up to the city again.

Vatong, who was struggling to climb the ladder, suddenly felt a huge roar above his head, he didn't have time to look up to see what the situation was, but with the intuition of fighting on the battlefield for many years, if he didn't retreat, he would have to worry about his life.

Seeing all this, Va Tong's face was instantly frightened and pale, if it weren't for his cleverness, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape the misfortune of being smashed into a meatloaf, swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, Va Tong's forehead was full of bean-sized pawns, and glanced at the sky in fear, Va Tong quickly picked up a shield from the ground, and ran towards the Chinese army while dialing the carving feather.

Women, money, of course, are important, but for life, they are not important at all.

Seeing that their own general had run away, the remaining Qiang soldiers were immediately at a loss, resisted indiscriminately, and then ran wildly.

Because Cheng Yu transferred the archers to this side to fight and fight against the Tong, the pressure not far away doubled, and a breakthrough was broken by the enemy in an instant, but under the leadership of the general of the Bingzhou Army, the Wudu army that landed in the city was cut to the ground in an instant.

A lieutenant gritted his teeth, leaned out and wanted to overturn the ladder on the wall, but as soon as his body came out, he was shot in the chest by a wave of arrow rain, looking at the dense carved arrows on the chest, the captain shouted angrily, and slammed it out with all his might, and the ladder full of Wudu army and Qiang soldiers was instantly smashed downward, accompanied by a frightened howl, dozens of enemy soldiers fell from the city tower several zhang high, and were immediately smashed to the point that their brains burst out, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

But a group of them died, and another group of enemy troops set up ladders, like a tidal wave, and they continued endlessly.

Cheng Yu saw that many enemy troops had begun to pour into the city tower, and Cheng Yu waved his long sword: "The enemy army has landed in the city, resist the enemy!" ”

"Huh!" With a bang, the soldiers who were assembled under the city tower and stood by drew their sabers one after another, and the momentum was awe-inspiring and uniform.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the city tower erupted with a roar that shook the world, and the swords and spearmen on the city tower swarmed up, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds in their hands slashed and slashed indiscriminately, and instantly slashed hundreds of enemy soldiers who climbed the city tower to the ground, but hacked to death a batch and a batch, the enemy army was like a group of agile apes, jumping off the city tower with steel knives in hand, and began to start a battle for the city tower with the state army.

Now that the enemy army has landed in the city, bows and arrows are of little use, and all the archers throw away their bows and arrows, draw their ring-headed knives at their waists, and join the warbands with a roar.

The sabers and guns assembled at the bottom of the castle tower were in hand, and they continued from the stairs of the castle tower to the end of the street, and as long as there was a need for support on the city wall, they rushed forward to help, and the knives and guns in their hands were slashed and stabbed indiscriminately, and when the guns were broken and the knives were rolled, they would howl and rush towards the enemy army, and roll down the city wall with the enemy army in their arms.

Song Xian was around Cheng Yu, a big knife danced vigorously, his body was more or less wounded, but he didn't frown, Cheng Yu is a military advisor, Lu Bu's right-hand man, if he has any mistakes, even if he dies a hundred times, he can't explain to Lu Bu, so where Cheng Yu is, he will go, where there are more people, he will go, leading the guards to kill the enemy army retreat again and again, and flesh and blood fly.

As the sun waned, the sky had begun to darken, and the narrow fiery clouds seemed to stain the ground red with the blood of the warriors, so red, so treacherous.

Li Xiangru looked up at the sky, feeling that it was getting late, and it would be unwise if he was fighting.

Hearing the Ming Jin of the Chinese army's collection of troops from Da Xuan, the overseer raised his sword and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Those soldiers who were ready to climb the city glanced at the city tower unwillingly, and could only helplessly pull out the cloud ladder at the moment, and ran towards the army on their shoulders, they ran away, but the soldiers who had already landed in the city were not so lucky, looking at the robes that retreated like a tide, their eyes were full of despair, waiting for their soldiers to kill boundlessly.

After killing the remnants of the enemy on the city tower, Cheng Yu grinned, and the sword in his hand was raised: "We have won"

"Whew!"

All the soldiers exhaled a breath and collapsed to the ground with a thud, squinting their eyes, and sleeping on their robes that they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Cheng Yu saw the tired soldiers, shook his head and sighed, slowly raised his head and looked towards the north, pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Lord, Zhongde is not as good as the mission!" ”
