Section 51

It was impossible for the soldiers defending the city to watch them calmly ascend to the city, and they all stood up and untied those iron hooks, but as soon as they showed their bodies, countless arrows would immediately come to the city. The protective effect of the city wall was greatly weakened suddenly. For a time, there was a stream of arrows above and below the city, and the screams were in the ears, both at the head of the city and under the city.

Is that okay too?

This kind of barbaric tactics really caught Wu Ming by surprise. The two sides exchanged arrows, and under the suppression of the archers under the city, many siege soldiers climbed to the top of the city and started hand-to-hand combat with the defenders. For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the city gate was their main direction of attack, so it was naturally the most lively. Two groups of more than 100 cavalrymen, carrying two huge logs, under the cover of the archers under the city, slammed into the city gate viciously.

If you want to use this method to go down to the city, you must at least catch the other party off guard, or the difference in strength between the two sides is huge. If it were another unit, they might have been disrupted by their methods. But they were facing the Guards Battalion, and the five thousand soldiers brought by Wu Ming this time were formed on the basis of the Black Armor Army. These 5,000 people can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, riding battles, water battles, equipment battles, and almost everything, naturally they will not be taken by the crazy momentum of the other party, seeing that the other party has rushed to the city, Wu Ming suddenly stood up from the head of the city and shouted: "Do it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers around them got up from the ground, and they lifted the falling rocks that had been prepared long ago, and smashed them at the enemy horsemen under the city. The soldiers were already prepared, and they raised their shields into the air. Ordinary cavalry were made of leather round shields, but these shields were extremely wide, almost covering half of the body, and were obviously specially made. Falling rocks smashed on the shields of the enemy cavalry, and the sound of banging was endless, although many cavalry fell off their horses, but the effect was far from as good as imagined.

At this moment, only two loud "bang, bang" sound was heard, and the whole city seemed to tremble, and the two huge logs finally made a close contact with the city gate under the high-speed charge of the cavalry. This kind of power is really terrifying, and if you take a few more hits, I'm afraid that this Lanning city gate will really be smashed by them. Wu Ming said sharply: "Roll oil." ”

With his order, a group of soldiers rose up and poured boiling oil down. The cavalry retreated slightly, ready to launch a second assault on the gates. I could hear a sound above, and I thought that this time it was still a rolling stone or something like that, and the shield was sealed more tightly. As soon as the boiling oil touched the shield, green smoke suddenly came out, and the boiling oil flowed in all directions, and the cavalry did not expect it, and the enemy cavalry under the city tower let out a scream, and at that moment a large number of people fell from their horses and rolled on the ground.

A pungent burnt smell permeated the air.

Most of the cavalry who were scalded by boiling oil were hitting the front end of the wood, and a group of people turned over on their backs, and the two hit the wood with a "bang" and rested under the city tower.

There was a burst of cheers from the head of the city. These Dongmeng knights were also really fierce, and the cheers of the crowd had not yet fallen, they all dismounted and picked up the rear end of the crashing wood, and the cavalry behind rushed over without fear of death, and they all picked up the front end, and a group of people roared at the same time, took a few big strides, and slammed into the city again.

Wu Ming's heart sank, and he said that the grassland cavalry was extremely fierce, and when he saw it today, it was really extraordinary. But sighing and sighing, being on the battlefield, either you die or I die, and he can't help thinking about it at the moment, so he shouted again: "Throw oil again, rocket waiter." ”

The siege vehicle was invented by the Southern Han Dynasty, but this thing is too simple, and you can know the general idea after a few glances, and it is impossible to keep it as secret as a thunderbolt. In recent years, siege vehicles have been widely used on the battlefield. As the first country of siege vehicles, the Southern Han Dynasty naturally had corresponding countermeasures. These Eastern Mongolian barbarians were too brave, and Wu Ming could only come up with a way to deal with siege engines to deal with them.

The soldiers mastered it and threw the boiling oil again, and as the oil boiled, another row of rockets had been fired at the top of the city. Although the archery skills of the soldiers of the outer battalion were not as good as those of these Mongol knights, they did not need to be too accurate at this time, and as soon as the arrows arrived, the oil that flowed under the city was lit, and the flames rose, and the shields stained with oil were immediately ablaze.

The city gate was full of flames, and most of the dozens of soldiers who attacked the city became burning men, and wolves rushed under the city, and this small place was like hell on earth. Before there was time to cheer, a rain of arrows came in retaliation, and at that moment two soldiers from the outer battalion could not dodge, and were shot by long arrows, one of them snorted, and fell towards the city, and the other climbed too high, and was pierced through the chest by several long arrows when he landed, and one of him fell upside down on the head of the city, apparently also died.

Yang Yi was furious, snatched a longbow from a soldier's hand, jumped up violently, three long arrows came out in succession, and he shouted, "Go to death." He was already unparalleled in archery, at this time with hatred, the power was greater, the three long arrows were all meritorious, a total of three cavalry fell from the horse, but more soldiers rushed up from behind, jumped off their horses to grab the wood, a posture of not breaking the city gate and vowing not to stop.

If it goes on like this, they will really get their hands on it. Although it is more effective to lure these cavalry to the city to kill and injure the enemy, Wu Ming does not dare to take this risk with the city gate, if the gate is really broken, it will really kill himself. His heart sank, and he shouted: "Pour oil and burn these two pieces of wood." ”

These two pieces of wood are long and large, and they must be specially made. This time, the march in Dongmeng was very fast, and there were no decent forests near Lanning, so there must not be much of this kind of thing. So Wu Ming had the idea of once and for all, and destroyed these two specially made crashing woods. As soon as Wu Ming's voice fell, a large amount of boiling oil was thrown from the city, and rockets were densely shot downward. The crash was stained with some sparks, rockets followed, and the fire grew. A few cavalrymen, especially disbelieving in evil, tried in vain to extinguish the fire, but before they could put it into action, they were also stained with oil, and they lit up like giant candles.

These cavalrymen are desperate, and they really can't be justified. Xuanyuan Ling asked himself to defend the city, he must not be at ease with the other troops in Lanning. But even if the camp is powerful, it is also frightened, and it is far from being as easy as imagined. These siege equipment are so rudimentary, they can all exert such combat power, if they really have excellent equipment, then they have to be. Thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but shudder.

Wu Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. If the two pieces of wood are destroyed, even if the enemy can rush to the head of the city, with the strength and morale of the city at this time, they will definitely be able to repel them. As soon as I saw two pieces of wood burst into flames, a dozen enemies turned into burning men and danced under the city. There were cheers from the long stretch of wall near the city gate, and the morale of the defenders was high. The soldiers of the outer camp could not care about their hidden figures, and some of them got up, grabbed the longbows in their hands and shot at the city. More people continued to pour boiling oil and rolling rocks and logs under the city, and for a time arrows rained down and the sound of killing boiled over the sky. The enemy still tried to rush up and continue to rescue the crashing wood, but as soon as they got closer, they were shot down. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the boiling oil at the head of the city was almost empty, and a sea of fire became below. The enemy rushed in now, and dragged out with two pieces of charcoal and a large pile of burnt corpses. They saw that they could not do anything, so they retreated.

The crashing wood was destroyed, but the enemy's attack momentum did not decrease in the slightest, but became more violent. The ropes were no longer sufficient for the endless flow of soldiers, and the soldiers who followed them carried rudimentary ladders to the head of the city, and began to attack the city, and the enemy had already killed the city in many areas. But the morale of the defenders was high, and the number was quite large, and the defense was even more solid as a rock. Each enemy who rushed up had to face the attack of several people at the same time, but these siege soldiers were not afraid of death, and still rushed forward in a steady stream. For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and Dongmeng's offensive was like a fierce wind and fire, but the defenders were like thousands of years of cold ice, standing still.

Just as the sky was dark, there was an exclamation behind him. Wu Ming overturned a cloud ladder erected at the head of the city, turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" ”

A soldier on the side said: "The big thing is not good, the mother is in danger." ”

Following his gaze, he saw that Su He Muyun was rampage through the city, and a spear in his hand was made by him. The gun was the main stab, but in his hand, it was like a big stick, and the gun was swept around, and it was a large piece when it was swept away, and the soldiers who were swept by him were all broken and fractured. Inspired by him, the morale of the besieging soldiers was greatly boosted, and they gathered one after another, at this time nearly twenty people had gathered around him, Su He Muyun was commanding this group of soldiers, while expanding the gap, while approaching the location of Xuanyuan Ling, it seemed that he had the intention of capturing the thief and the king.

Wu Ming's section of the city is not far from Xuanyuan Ling. Although it was evening, the glow was still thick. Although the sound of killing shook the sky, under the reflection of the snow of Tianyin Mountain, the distant scene was still clearly recognizable. The eunuch beside Xuanyuan Ling's face turned white, and he was kneeling on the ground and trying to persuade her, probably to keep her away from this place. But Xuanyuan Ling stared at Su He Muyun who was getting closer and closer, and he didn't move.

She naturally can't move, she Simon Koldun, once she retreats, the morale of the army will definitely plummet, and the advantages that have been created with great difficulty will also fall, so it is possible for Dongmeng to go down to the city. Wu Ming only felt a stream of heat rushing straight to his head, and he didn't think about it, so he jumped up and said loudly: "If you have the courage, follow me and rescue Ke Dun Niangniang." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and approached Su He Muyun. Fortunately, although the killing sound was shocking nearby, there were not many places for Simon to break through, and most of the places on the city wall were still in the hands of the defenders. Su He Muyun rushed forward all the way, and the distance was much closer than Wu Ming, but the closer he was to Xuanyuan Ling, the greater the resistance he received, and countless soldiers rushed to block it. And Wu Ming was almost unhindered, the two of them rushed towards Xuanyuan Lingli at the same time, one left and one right. Su Hemuyun suddenly shouted, jumped up violently, and rushed towards Xuanyuan Ling. At the same time, Wu Ming shouted wildly: "The rats dare!" Chixiao slammed out of the sheath, his right foot was a little childish, and the person was like a big bird rising in the air, and a sword slashed down towards Suhe Muyun.

This sword shot with all its might, and the sword momentum was very fierce, and it was like a frightened rainbow attack, and it disappeared in a flash. Su Hemuyun was shocked, although he shot ahead of Wu Ming, if he really wanted to attack Xuanyuan Ling regardless of it, he would definitely be cut into two pieces. Although he was determined to fight for his life, he still chose to protect himself first and then try to do anything else when he was unprepared. At that moment, the spear was horizontal, blocking the chest. Wu Ming struck his sword with all his might, and it was as fast as lightning, hitting him on the barrel of his gun. With a crisp sound of "pop", Su Hemuyun's body was shocked, only to feel a strong surge of mountains and seas, and he turned straight backwards.
