Chapter 180: Bloody Battle (1)

"The enemy army is coming, defend the city gate at all costs!" Wei Hong ran to the inside of the wall and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city gate below.

The defenders on the city wall, who had a relaxed expression, also became solemn at this time, and the hands that were clenching their weapons began to tremble uncontrollably because of the force they had exerted. This is all a reasonable phenomenon, if they are still so calm and light at this time, they don't care, and they don't have the slightest will to fight, but something bad will happen.

The Turkic 50,000 cavalry were the first to rush to the city, and did not rush to attack the city, but kept wandering under the city walls, waiting for the follow-up infantry to catch up with the siege equipment. The defenders on the city wall all took out their bows and arrows, drew their bows and arrows, and pointed their arrows at the cavalry under the city. Since the Turkic cavalry was out of range, Wei Hong did not give the order to shoot, but waited for the time to come.

A short time later, the Turkic infantry arrived with ladders and crashing wood. The cavalry, which had been wandering around the periphery, suddenly approached the city wall, and at the same time, Wei Hong also gave the order to shoot. The regular defenders plus 4,000 heavy infantry, 4,000 bows poured down in one go. Under the attack of the rain of arrows, a large number of Turkic cavalry were shot off their horses in an instant. But this did not stop the pace of the Turkic cavalry, and the cavalry also took out their bows and arrows, sat on horseback and shot arrows to shoot back. Although the defenders had cover above the city walls and had the advantage of being at a high point, the disparity in numbers between the enemy and the enemy was so great that they were suppressed by the bows and arrows of the Turkic cavalry for a while, and everyone could only hide behind the bunkers and return fire without an arrow.

At this time, the Turkic infantry had already set up the ladder on the city wall, and a large number of Turkic infantry climbed up the city wall like ants on the tree. Seeing this situation, the guards close to the ladder kept poking the ladder out with wood and overturning it. The Turkic infantry who were in a hurry to climb the ladder were directly thrown to the point of spitting blood, and the short ones who climbed were not in much trouble, and they got up and put the ladder up the city wall again.

As the number of ladders gradually increased, it was too late to push the ladders, so the defenders directly drew their bows and shot arrows, shooting down the Turkic infantry who climbed the ladders as much as possible. When the Turkic infantry began to climb the city wall sporadically, the heavy infantry that had already been prepared directly met it, either slashing it with a sword, or directly knocking the Turkic infantry out of the city wall with their stabbing armor.

Just when the two sides were engaged in an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle, someone suddenly shouted: "Throwing the car!" ”

Wei Hong, who had been standing behind the heavy infantry and did not participate in hand-to-hand combat, was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care much, so he quickly rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked out. But I saw that there were several huge throwing carts in the black-pressed Turkic army, and I counted them, and there were as many as six! Each cart had a blazing cylinder in its thrower and began to throw it into the city with a purpose.

Huge fireballs flew into the city and exploded on the ground, and the unsuspecting soldiers were instantly engulfed in the flames, and the originally tight defensive battle was also disrupted by the sudden appearance of the throwing vehicle.

"Damn, didn't you say that the other party didn't have enough siege equipment! Even the throwing car has been transported, and we don't know it! Wei Hong scolded angrily, grabbed a soldier next to him and shouted: "Quick! Quickly give me an order, and all the soldiers who are inside the walls should come to the walls! The soldiers guarding the city gate first enter the city gate hole to take refuge! ”

With Wei Hong's command, soldiers who were originally under the city wall poured up to the city wall, due to the narrow area above the city wall. The throwing vehicles could not hit with precision, so they could only bombard the houses inside the city walls indiscriminately, but could not hurt the soldiers. However, after such a stirring of the throwing carts, the defenses of the city were thrown into disarray, and a large number of Turkic infantry quickly rushed to the city wall. In the case of hand-to-hand combat, the bow and arrow lost its advantage, and the defense, which was already struggling to support, instantly turned into an unspeakable stubborn defense.

On the other hand, the Turkic soldiers arrived under the city gate with the bumping log, and more than 20 infantry worked together to smash the bumper wood against the city gate. Although the gates were large and sturdy, they soon began to crumble under the impact of the crashing wood. The soldiers inside kept reinforcing the city gate with wooden stakes, delaying as much time as possible.

Seeing that the city gate would not be opened, the Turkic general shouted loudly, let the soldiers who hit the door dodge, and then let the soldiers holding the oil drums rush up. More than twenty soldiers with oil drums rushed under the city gates, used oil as a lead, extended outward, and when the distance was far enough, the lead was ignited. I saw a flash of fire rushing towards the oil drums piled up outside the city gate at a very fast speed, as long as the oil drums burned, the city gate would be broken! Seeing that the city gate was about to catch fire, at this critical moment, suddenly a yellowish column of water fell from the city gate building, and was poured on the igniting oil line, and the flames rushing towards the oil drum stopped abruptly.

The lead was extinguished, and the Turkic general shouted angrily, and looked up, only to see six heavily armored soldiers standing above the city gate. Five heavy armored soldiers stood on the periphery, constantly blocking the attack of the Turkic soldiers, and the heavy armored soldiers standing in the middle were actually lifting their pants. Obviously, the yellow stream just now was the urine of this guy, and the person who peed was Cheng Chumo.

The lead was silently wet by the witty Cheng Zhi, and the Turkic generals were annoyed and angry, and sent out dead soldiers. Two Turkic soldiers with torches rushed to the oil drums. Cheng Zhi, who was standing on the city wall, saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Shoot those two dead soldiers! ”

The heavy infantry next to him got the order, quickly took out the bow and arrow, and with two swishing arrows, shot the dead soldier who was already close to the ground. Seeing this, the Turkic generals shouted again, and suddenly the surrounding Turkic soldiers all took out their bows and arrows and shot them at the city gate. The bow and arrow clanged at Cheng Chumo's body, although it could not hurt Cheng Chumo, but it made Cheng Chumo and the other five heavy armor soldiers retreat again and again. At this moment, two more dead men rushed out, and without hindrance, they rushed to the oil barrel in a moment, and lit the oil barrel with torches at close range.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the two dead soldiers were blown into countless pieces, and the city gate that had been standing all this time collapsed with a bang.

Seeing that the city gate was blown up, the Turkic generals were overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to rush in. But as soon as the cavalry rushed in, they saw a flood of arrows shooting out from the city gate, killing all the cavalry who rushed ahead. A general next to him clasped his fists next to the Turkic general and said: "General, there are archers inside who are guarding the city gate and can't rush in!" ”
