Chapter 57: The Battle of Shouyang Pass (2)

"Archer!" Hua Hu stood on the city wall and drew the sword at his waist and roared, and the archers lined up in two rows on the city wall, their strong bows full, pointing diagonally to the sky.

"Put!"

With Hua Hu's order, the archers in the first row put the arrows out in unison, the archers who finished the arrows took a few steps back to re-set up the arrows, and the archers in the second row immediately stepped forward to fill in the position and release the arrows, and so on, always maintaining the output of external arrows.

Chen Gui hid behind the arrow stack, only to feel the arrow "swish" from his scalp swept over, the barbarians carrying siege equipment outside the city from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, the pace of progress was slightly slow, and immediately a follow-up barbarian stepped forward to push away the corpse of his companion and continued to move forward. The cost of besieging a city is much greater than defending it.

Chen Gui hid behind the arrow stack for a while, and when he heard a "snap", Chen Gui turned back suddenly, and the time to come finally came. The barbarians' ladder was already on the city wall, and the upper end was just at the mouth of the battlement.

Song Daren obviously saw that the ladder was shaking, and he reached out to hold a stone and was about to smash the barbarians, but Chen Gui pulled him again, and at the same time, the barbarians outside the city came over with a round of arrow rain, and many defenders were shot to death on the wall.

As soon as the first round of arrow rain passed, Chen Gui gave Song Daren a look, picked up a stone and threw it down the ladder, and the barbarian at the top fell down the ladder with a wail. Chen Gui quickly withdrew, and Song Daren then threw down the second stone, another brute's wail. When Song Daren turned around and hid behind the city wall, the second round of arrow rain had already arrived.

"Hey, brother, you're still amazing." Song Daren gave a thumbs up on the side and smirked.

"Just do it, these barbarians can't come up." Chen Gui was a little proud.

Hua Hu and Lei Xiao were both nervously commanding in the city, the soldiers were busy carrying the rolling wood and stones, and the entire Shouyang Pass was running rapidly, and at this moment, there was only one person still pacing leisurely in the city - Nangong Bai.

Nangong Bai was dressed in white, with a sword and a flute hanging from his waist, and nodded and smiled when he met a familiar person. Chen Gui had already seen Nangong Bai coming over, and Nangong Bai also remembered Chen Gui, when he chanted a song by Chang Jian's "Plugged Song", everyone thought it was a poem written by Nangong Bai himself, but he didn't expect to be exposed by Chen Gui. Nangong Bai nodded and smiled at Chen Gui, and Chen Gui also nodded in return.

"Quick, the brutes are coming." Chen Gui beckoned Song Daren to lift a rolling log and roll down the ladder.

Chen Gui raised his head and glanced out of the city, his scalp was numb for a while, and the dense barbarian army was constantly pouring over.

"Daren, you wait for me for a while, and I'll come when I go." After speaking, he didn't care about him, and Song Daren picked up the stone at the mouth of the arrow battlement and threw it down without looking at it.

After a while, Chen Gui came back with a few long poles and distributed them to the defenders near the arrow battlement. Chen Gui put the pole on the ladder, "Da Ren, come and help." ”

Song Daren saw that he knew what Chen Gui was going to do, so he hurriedly came over to help, and the two of them worked together, gradually pushing the ladder away from the city wall, and finally pushed the ladder out with a strong force, and the ladder fell away from the city wall with the barbarians who were still climbing up, and the cheers of the defenders came from the city wall. When the other soldiers saw this, they followed suit, and for a time the barbarians' offensive was blocked.

Just as the defenders of the city were immersed in bursts of cheers, the tall well outside the city had already been pushed over. Such an advanced siege machine is incredible for a barbarian army, which is dominated by cavalry, and it has to be said that Hutar has accumulated a strong military force in the past ten years.

The archers of the barbarian army boarded the well and condescendingly shot at the archers on the city, and the defenders who could not dodge died under the stray arrows, and the surviving defenders hid under the arrow stacks and did not dare to show their heads, and the barbarian army under the city took the opportunity to re-build the ladder and climb up.

The defense of Shouyang Pass is in danger.
