"Buzzing ......" With the sound of drums, countless arrows flew into the sky like locusts, making a palpitating sound of breaking the wind, and the rising sun was immediately covered by the arrows like a curtain of rain, and when the sun showed his face again, many cold corpses would be added to the ground.

He Ziming waved his sword away from a feather arrow that was shot at Li Guanqi, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the siege has begun, go quickly." As he spoke, without waiting for Li Guanqi to answer, he said to the two sergeants beside him, "Protect the saint and leave, hurry up!" ”

Li Guanqi raised his hand to stop the two sergeants who were about to move forward, and said to He Ziming: "I am not a weak scholar who is powerless, and I have also killed the enemy with my own hands!" Now that the enemy army is strong, if I flee before fighting, how can the soldiers defending the city not be cold? ”

"But Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, in case of a mistake, how can the minister bear it?" He Ziming was a little anxious.

"I don't need you to take care of it!" Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said, "You go and help Xie Chen, Cheng Fugui and them defend the city!" I've got them to take care of! You don't have to worry! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand behind He Ziming.

He Ziming followed Li Guanqi's fingers and saw a group of strong men carrying the door panel on the city wall, and immediately a few arrows were nailed to the door panel.

He Ziming looked at Li Guanqi inexplicably, and asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

Li Guanqi commanded the strong men to build a corridor with door panels, and said: "Didn't Cheng Fugui say that there are not enough arrows? I'll help him collect some first, and I'll be able to stay here without any danger, unless the enemy actually storms the walls. Now you should be relieved, right? ”

He Ziming saw that Li Guanqi hid behind the corridor composed of door panels, and the rebels did not have heavy siege equipment such as trebuchets, and there was indeed no danger, so he stopped being verbose. Turned around and went into battle.

The archers on both sides were still firing at each other, although the archers at Jinsha Pass were much smaller than the rebels in number, but with the height of the city walls, the range was still farther than that of the other side, which forced the rebel archers to be completely exposed to the rain of arrows on their side.

Therefore. In the first stage of the bow and arrow battle, although the rebels were superior in numbers, their losses were far greater than those of the soldiers and horses at Jinsha Pass. However, the number of archers in Jinsha Pass was not large after all, so it was impossible to completely suppress the opponent, and after a few rounds of arrows, the opponent's infantry rushed over and began to climb the wall to attack the city.

Li Guanqi was blinded by the actions of the rebels, and he didn't know what kind of order to give for a while. Because the rebels who rushed up didn't even have a ladder. Facing the dozens of feet high city wall, they actually chose to climb up by stacking arhats and building ladders.

Originally, Li Guanqi was still worried that the method of using boiling water to defend the city would not have much effect, but now seeing this situation, he completely dispelled his doubts, such a dense pile of people, what a spectacular scene it must be to go down with a pot of boiling water. He now regrets why he didn't produce more grenades at that time, and this time he came to inspect Jinshaguan, and he brought a small number of grenades. It's all used up when the previous wave of ambushes was set up, otherwise how cool is it to use now?

Li Guanqi hurriedly ordered dozens of cauldrons that had been boiling to be carefully moved.

Wait until the rebels under the city have built a ladder four or five stories high. After reaching the edge of the city wall, Li Guanqi gave an order, and poured it down at the same time, a white mist rose, and the city wall suddenly fell into chaos, and screams came and went. When the mist gradually lifted, the miserable situation under the city made people feel as if they were in purgatory.

In this wave of counterattacks, there were nearly 100 Shanyue soldiers who were directly scalded to death by boiling water, hundreds of them fell to the ground and were trampled to death, and the rest of the Shanyue soldiers who were covered in fire rubbed and collided with each other. Let the skin be ripe and peel off directly, and the ghost-like hideous image makes the companions shy away.

Seeing that the soldiers who had finally rushed to the pass were retreating backwards, Liu Shuo jumped again and again, drew his sword and shouted: "Continue to beat the drum forward, supervise the preparation of the battle team, and cut those who retreat!" Be sure to storm the walls in one go! ”

Under the persecution of the Xue Liang Ghost Head Knife of the Warlord, the rebel soldiers who had just retreated had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the rain of arrows shot from Jinsha Pass, and once again set up a human ladder to forcibly attack the city!

Because the water that had just been boiled had been poured out, and it would take some time to boil again, so Li Guanqi and the others had to lead the soldiers to defend by conventional means.

With the tactics of not being afraid of death, the rebels finally began to have soldiers pouring into the city.

Brutal hand-to-hand combat began. The cavalry guards, who had already held back their strength, drew their sharp blades and rushed towards the rebel soldiers who had taken a lot of effort to reach the top of the city, and the blades and cold light and the blood that shot out were intertwined into a colorful war picture.

The first group of rebels who had just climbed the city wall had just been driven down, and before everyone could catch their breath, the second group of enemy troops swarmed again, and there was another rain of blood. Soldiers killed each other with weapons, with fists and feet, with nails, with teeth, in every way they could. Originally, they had no hatred, they had never known each other, but now they swore that they would not be at odds.

The sound of "kill" was continuous, and one soldier cut off his opponent's head while shouting for kill, but he himself was stabbed to death by another soldier shouting for kill, and a moment later, the body of the other soldier lay on his body. The eyes of the two corpses looked at each other, as if mocking each other, and as if laughing at themselves.

The battle went on, the sun rose to the middle top, and slowly went down again, until dusk came, and both sides were exhausted. However, Rao is rebels have a sufficient numerical advantage, and they are still unable to break through Jinsha Pass, which does not seem to be very difficult to break.

Finally, a crisp gong sounded among the rebels, and the already exhausted rebels began to retreat like a tide. Liu Shuo finally realized that what was in front of him was not fat, but bones, and chose to withdraw his troops.

War is brutal. After the rebels retreated, Li Guanqi held on to the arrow stack and looked down, the ground was full of grass-like corpses, at a cursory glance, there were at least three or four thousand, and the ground was no longer dusty, because the blood had soaked the ground.

Xie Chen was not idle, he walked back and forth on the city wall, loudly summoning the officers of each combat unit, counting the battle damage, and arranging the next stage of defending the city.

Li Guanqi retracted his slightly stunned expression, turned around and ordered people to move the food that had been prepared to the city quickly, and after a whole day of fighting, the defenders in the city did not even have time to drink a sip of water. Li Guanqi knows very well that if the people come to work with food and wine, it will be very effective in improving morale. (To be continued......)
