Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At the city gate, more than a dozen nails fell together. And the thieves who were rushing forward under the city only felt that the top of their heads was black, and the rusty iron nails on the big wooden planks were under the hood.

Syllable!

The iron nail was pierced, and suddenly the yellow-white brain pulp exploded like a cracked watermelon.

Seeing a scene, the soldiers of the thieves were all standing in place with their souls emptied, and there were not many people who died under the nail, but the thieves who saw this scene couldn't help but vomit all the overnight food in their stomachs on the ground.

After a round of nail slap attack, the winch above the city immediately clicked and rolled, retracting the flesh-stained nail slap together, ready to be reused a second time.

The thieves swallowed in their throats, but found that there was not a trace of saliva at all.

Seeing this scene, the thief's offensive stagnated, and many people trembled their legs, considering whether to retreat, but after a slight pause, the overseer team behind came up with knives and killed more than a dozen soldiers who could not retreat.

The army of thieves was forced to rush up again, and now fierce battles began at the city walls.

The stones of the defenders here consumed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and after the archers shot five or six arrows, they were also a little out of strength, and at this time, the army of thieves was urging, one by one, they bit their knives and struggled to climb from the ladder to the head of the city.

"After the city is broken, you can have a good meal!"

The thieves thought so with blood-red eyes.

The first thief who had climbed the city wall was pierced by a dozen spears in the blink of an eye, and fell straight down the wall, but the second and third rushed up, and the other ladders also opened a breakthrough elsewhere, and more and more thieves climbed the city wall.

The shape on the city wall gradually became urgent, and the defenders at the head of the city had to resort to last resort.

Several strong men directly picked up the hot oil that had just been boiled on a large cauldron, aimed it at the thieves who were constantly climbing up under the ladder, and poured it on their heads with a snort.

After that, I heard that several thieves were splashed with boiling oil, and they fell down the ladder almost in a moment, and the defenders did not let it go, and then threw down the grass ball that was tied and lit, and the oil was ignited by the fire, and the fire broke out, and the city suddenly became a sea of fire.

Not only is the ladder burning, but the thieves under the ladder have also become a burning man, screaming and rolling on the ground.

And the thieves who were moving forward, when they saw their companions rushing towards them, they all hurriedly dodged to the side, and if they were taken by the other party at the moment, they would definitely die together.

Gao Chu issued the order on the city wall in an orderly manner, and I saw that under his arrangement, when the defenders would shoot arrows, when to pour oil, when to put nails, when to use the people to step forward, and when to use the village soldiers to cover the people, all of them were in order.

The casualties of the soldiers and civilians on the city wall have always maintained a low exchange ratio.

If he is really a good general who is good at defending the city, this time I can dig up a treasure, just when Li Chongjiu thought that this was going to be the case, and spent the morning smoothly.

At this time, I suddenly saw the thieves start beating drums together, and the place that had been tightly covered by straw under the city wall was suddenly pulled apart.

Four horses are slowly dragging in front, while a large cart is towed behind them.

Gao Chu's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible, where did these grass cowards get such things?" ”

Li Chongjiu didn't know why for a while, but after staring at it for a while, and after seeing it closer, he couldn't help but say: "It's actually a winch crossbow!" ”

There were four such winch crossbows, each of which was towed by four horses.

The wheels gurgled on the ground, plowing two deep ruts, and the thieves on the side saw the winch crossbow dispatched, and their confidence was greatly boosted, and their morale was high, and they all raised their arms and shouted in unison.

Gao Chu hammered hard with his fist and said: "This is a twelve-stone winch crossbow, and I don't have a few beds in Shanggu County, it must be that after Yi County was broken, these grass robbers were moved out of the arsenal." Damn. ”

"Twelve stones!" Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be upset when he heard this number.

Gao Chu nodded and said, "This is my Great Sui's weapon, and only one county town has equipment." When the general of the Northern Dynasty was bald and broken, when he was in the south of the desert, he was equipped with 12 beds of strong crossbows, and each bed needed to give six cows before it could be opened, so it was called six oxen crossbows in the army. ”

"And although this winch crossbow is not as good as the six-ox crossbow, it is not difficult."

Li Chongjiu was already eye-opening when he heard it, the twelve-stone bed crossbow was twice as powerful as his moon-seizing bow, and as for the rumored six-bull crossbow, I don't know how terrifying it was.

Between the words, the other party's four bed crossbows have begun to be wound together, the arrows of the crossbow are iron arrows, with iron leaves as the arrow feathers, the arrows are as big as rafters, with more than a dozen strong men, the winch is turned with strength, and only then is the crossbow wound for the car.

"Broken!"

"Broken!"

"Broken!"

The thieves and soldiers shouted in unison with their spears.

And immediately the enemy bed crossbow general, his face sank, and he pressed his hand and shouted: "Release!" ”

Just listen to the boom!

Four rings in a row, a hundred paces away, a salvo of four-bed bed crossbows!

Iron arrows pierced into the rammed earth walls.

"Pull!"

"Pull!"

"Pull!"

The three armies of thieves shouted at the same time, and the crossbowmen began to twist the crossbow again, pulling out the arrows that had pierced the walls.

I saw that on the city wall, a large piece of rammed earth at the place where the arrow was hit, with the arrow being pulled out, it continued to peel off, and in an instant, a large hole was opened by the bed crossbow on the city wall.

When the thieves saw such a sharp weapon to break the city, they couldn't help but shout in unison, as if the city was broken in front of them!

At this time, in the horse road on the city wall, several horses suddenly rode down from the horse road, and the red flag in the city danced.

In the blink of an eye, a rumbling sound sounded, but the gate of the northern city of Flying Fox County suddenly opened.

The three armies nearby were stunned when they saw it, and they didn't know what was going on.

Under the city gate, Li Chongjiu's eyes were dark, and as the city gate slowly opened, a bright light was shining in through the door.

At this moment, the sun has risen to the highest, the cold wind is blowing, Li Chongjiu is holding a bow and arrows, a long knife at his waist, and sees the thieves in front of the city gate, holding all kinds of crude weapons, with a kind of overwhelmed gaze, looking at himself and the group of armored horsemen behind him wrapped in iron armor.

The gates gradually opened, and the view widened, and the four bed crossbows were a hundred paces away.

Suddenly, Li Chongjiu's legs were clamped fiercely, and the war horse suddenly rushed out like an arrow.

Li Chongjiu controls the bow and arrow in his hand and shoots it with his hand!

One arrow kills one person, Li Chongjiu shot three arrows in an instant, and the armored cavalry behind him also killed from the hole in the city gate, the bow and arrow in his hand did not stop, and suddenly set off a wild surge.

Four hooves flew, and in the blink of an eye, Li Chongjiu had rushed straight into the enemy formation, and when a big knife came out, it was a knife cut at the thief in front of him.
