Chapter 34: Fierce Battle at the Wall
Seeing that the enemy was about to climb the city wall, Wang Ping hurriedly ordered the pikemen to put their spears on the women's wall and prepare to stab the enemy who climbed the wall, and arranged for the sword soldiers to escort these pikemen.
As soon as he was ready, the enemy climbed up, Wang Ping stabbed the person directly down the ladder, and then shouted at the soldiers around him: "Piercing!" ”
Rows of spears stabbed forward and instantly suppressed the enemies who climbed up, but the strength of the people was weak, and many pikemen pierced the enemy, but the force of the fall made the spears out of their hands.
Without the attack of spears, there are follow-up enemies crawling up.
Rushing to the front line and climbing ladders to attack the city is the most dangerous and powerless, because they are directly facing all kinds of attacks from the defending side, such as a rain of arrows, stones and trees, boiling water and oil, and almost all of them have to go through a stool.
However, the first person to climb the city wall has a very rich reward, not only the golden beauty, but also the lucky ones may be named colonels in the army, and some people who have committed capital crimes will be exempted if they can rush to the city wall.
So the first people to climb up are crazy.
The crazy people are not afraid of death, and as soon as these Kaiyang soldiers reached the city wall, they roared and pounced on the guards, while the knife men, who were supposed to protect the pikemen, were paralyzed with fear.
More than a dozen Kaiyang soldiers took the opportunity to rush towards the spearmen and slashed indiscriminately, and in an instant, red blood sprayed everywhere, and the stump and broken arm fell to the ground.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Ping did not panic, he first ordered the two pikemen to shoot a shot to ensure that they could withdraw their weapons after the stab, and then found someone to replace his defensive position, because he was going to kill the dozen or so crazy wolf-like Kaiyang soldiers.
Before Wang Pingren reached the loud roar, he first suppressed the Kaiyang soldiers, and these people were also experienced in a hundred battles, looking at Wang Ping's momentum, they knew that he was a master, so they beckoned to work together to deal with him first.
The small space is more conducive to short blades, Wang Ping pulled out his dagger, and jumped forward in front of the first Kaiyang soldier, and saw that the Kaiyang soldier was pierced through the throat by Wang Ping before he could swing his weapon, and then he slashed, and the head of the Kaiyang soldier left the body, and the surging blood spurted out from the headless body.
In just an instant, Wang Pingyi dodged the short spear that stabbed at him, and at the same time pierced the man's chest with a dagger. Then catch a short spear that fell and threw it at the enemy on the other side, the short spear was extremely fast, and pierced two Kaiyang soldiers in a row.
Then Wang Ping pulled out a dagger and kicked the dead corpse, and the corpse directly crashed into several Kaiyang soldiers with a ferocious impact, and several people fell in response to the sound and couldn't get up for a while.
At this time, Wang Ping shouted at the frightened and paralyzed guards: "Get up! Chop off their heads for me! Perhaps infected by Wang Ping's momentum, the two guards, who looked very young, actually picked up the short knives in their hands and slashed at the Kaiyang soldiers who were knocked over with a loud roar.
Hot blood sprayed on the faces of the two defenders, giving them a taste of war.
Everyone has the mentality of conformity, and those who take the lead will follow. Slowly, more and more of the guards began to pick up their weapons, and they were finally able to perform at some of their usual level of training.
Wang Ping watched as the Kaiyang soldiers on this side were pushed back to the city, and the spearmen were back in position, so he went to fill the loopholes elsewhere.
This side of the wall is even more dangerous, the ladder has been erected on the wall, and dozens of Kaiyang soldiers have pushed the guards to both sides, so that more enemies can climb the city wall smoothly.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Wang Ping picked up a short knife, and then mobilized his physical strength to rush into the enemy group.
The acquired True Qi master needs to store the True Qi in his body in advance, and the explosive power released when facing the enemy is also very amazing. I saw that Wang Ping was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy.
The naïve and innocent master can defeat nearly a hundred people, and soon Wang Ping forced the remaining Kaiyang soldiers to the female wall, and after he beckoned the archers to shoot flat, there were no more living Kaiyang soldiers on the wall.
With the suppression of bows and arrows, the enemy on the ladder could not continue to climb the city wall for a while, and Wang Ping took advantage of this brief opportunity to command the defenders to pour a pot of boiling oil down the ladder, and then he shot a fire arrow at the base of the ladder to ignite the boiling oil.
The fire spread quickly, and after a while, the entire ladder was engulfed in flames, and the ladder was considered useless.
It's just that after being killed by the Kaiyang soldiers for a while, the defenders of this section of the city wall suffered heavy losses, so Wang Ping had to arrange for someone to go to Mi Lun for help, and after giving the order, he rushed to another cloud ladder without stopping.
The battle situation here was slightly better, thanks to the help of the five hundred archers brought by Wang Ping from the south gate to suppress them, there were not many enemies who could rush to the city wall, but there was a black-faced man with a long knife in his hand, and he advanced towards the archers alone.
This black-faced man is very smart, he does not directly attack the archers, but deliberately asks the guards to surround them, using them as cover and not asking the archers to sneak attack.
Wang Ping watched the black-faced man being surrounded in the middle and only defended and did not attack, but he coped with it with ease, and did not delay him to advance towards the archers, thinking that he should be a master, if he was really asked to rush over, the archery team would definitely be scattered in chaos.
Thinking of this, Wang Ping ordered the siege to be withdrawn and let the archers deal with him, but the black-faced man was also very alert, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he immediately turned around and rushed straight to Wang Ping's side.
The archers were afraid that Wang Ping would be afraid of shooting by mistake, and it seemed that Wang Ping had to take action himself to subdue him.
Wang Ping used up half of his true qi before, thinking that the strength of this person in front of him was obviously not weak, if he had any reservations, he was afraid that he would not be able to get him, but if he used his true qi in advance and was afraid that he would be prepared to compete with his true qi, he would not be able to take much advantage, and it seemed that he would have to outwit him.
The other party was holding a long knife, and Wang Ping pulled out the dagger just now.
Short weapons are only threatened by close quarters, but the black-faced man wielded the Spring and Autumn Broadsword with a tiger and a tiger, and did not give Wang Ping a chance to approach at all.
As soon as Wang Ping saw that he didn't have a chance to get close, he quickly retreated to make room for the archers.
When the black-faced man saw that he had forced Wang Ping away, he exposed himself to the bow and arrows, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned towards Wang Ping, so Wang Ping took the black-faced man to circle around the city wall.
The black-faced man gave up after chasing without Wang Ping's footsteps for a while, turned around and rushed in the direction of the archer, Wang Ping saw that there was a flaw behind him, jumped up and kicked the back of the black man's heart.
Seeing that he was about to hit the back of the heart, the man twisted his body and slashed at Wang Ping's left leg with a backhand, Wang Ping was shocked and hurriedly threw the dagger in his hand, and the black-faced man saw that the dagger shot straight at his head, so he had to withdraw his knife to block.
The dagger was blocked by the big knife with a clanging sound, but Wang Ping also took the opportunity to get close to the black-faced man, at this time Wang Ping had no weapons, and if he wanted to hurt people, he could only use true qi.
Wang Ping gathered the remaining true qi together without reservation, and heard the faint sound of breaking the air with his fists directly hit the chest of the black-faced man.
Hearing this sound of breaking the sky, the black-faced man screamed badly, and hurriedly resisted it horizontally, and at the same time adjusted the true qi in the group to continuously send it to his arms.
It's just that he was a step late after all, and after Wang Ping's fists were unstoppable and broke the blade of the big knife, he hit his chest hard.
The black-faced man was hit by this and retreated directly to the side of the city wall, although he had a true qi body, but such a strong blow still caused him to suffer serious internal injuries.
The acquired master can only store the true qi into the body in advance, and after using it up, he has to cultivate for a few days before it can be recovered, which cannot be compared with the innate true qi realm, and the innate master can communicate naturally making the true qi incomprehensible.
Therefore, those in the acquired realm cherish the true qi in their bodies very much, and they will never waste it easily if they do not have a situation.
It's just that this black-faced man didn't have time to use his true qi until he was injured by Wang Ping's heavy punch, and he was too stingy with his naïve qi.
At this time, the black-faced man endured the blood that was about to pour up, and said coldly: "This punch, I Yin Li wrote it down." ”
Wang Ping's true qi was exhausted at this time, how could he have the strength to fight with him, he waved at the archer, and immediately dozens of arrows broke through the air.
Yin Li turned over and jumped off the city wall in fright, the city wall was more than four zhang high, and Yin Li, who was already seriously injured, fell again.
This Yin Li is also well-known in Xuzhou, and he was once the head of the Taishan thieves who gathered in the mountains and forests.
The Taishan thieves are not all thieves, but the general name for all the armed forces in that area, and it was not until later that a Zang Ba incorporated all these forces to form the current Kaiyang soldiers.
Therefore, after the guards on the city wall saw Wang Ping punching Yin Li away, their momentum immediately rose, and they poured oil and fire on the ladder one by one, and soon the second ladder was also scrapped.
Wang Ping looked at the burning cloud ladder and was very relieved, but just now it was the first time he used his true qi with all his strength, and now he had no strength to prostrate.
Fortunately, before the last ladder could move to the base of the wall, the rocket burned off the axle and could not move forward.
The danger on the city wall was temporarily eliminated, and Kechangba's rushing car was about to rush to the west gate.
At this moment, Mi Yan came to the aid with a thousand people, threw stones and trees to block the way of the crash, and then fired a rolling oil rocket, and then reimbursed the rushing car.
Seeing that there was no siege equipment, Changba wanted to lead his troops up the ladder, but suddenly heard the sound of gold ringing from behind.
Listen to the drum and advance, smell the gold and retreat.
Changba did not dare to disobey the military order, so he only led the troops to retreat. Back in the Chinese army, Changba asked Zang Ba very puzzled: "My talent has just gone up, why did the marshal Mingjin withdraw his troops!" ”
Zang Ba glanced at him and said: "The night is not conducive to attacking the city, and tonight is to test the city defense of the East China Sea, although there are capable people in the city to help the Mi family, but this command is still a little tender, and it has cost too much to defend the city, so the soldiers are called back to the camp to rest for the night, and they will be able to take the East China Sea City tomorrow." ”
Wang Ping and Mi Lun looked at the slowly retreating Kaiyang Army with great excitement in their hearts, they finally survived tonight.
In this battle, they destroyed three ladders, one rushing car, and killed a thousand enemies, but the defenders of the Mi family also killed more than 800 soldiers, and more than 1,000 wounded soldiers could not fight again for a while, and the materials for defending the city were also very serious, especially the arrows were running out.
Wang Ping ordered the reserve team to change the defense, and arranged for people to go to the city to collect supplies, and put the enemy's corpses in a row and poured oil, and when the battle began tomorrow, it could also stop the enemy for a while.
Even so, Wang Ping knew in his heart that if he fought again tomorrow, he was afraid that Donghai City would not last long, and he only hoped that good news would come from Zhao Yun's side as soon as possible.
