Chapter 120: Confrontation (7)
While the Eight Ox Crossbow was about to cast the Jackdaw Arrow, a new trick was added to the other bed crossbows: the Bolt Arrow.
As the name suggests, the Stepping Arrow is a long arrow that can be nailed to the city wall in rows for soldiers to climb up. While the Eight Ox Crossbow was still being debugged, the treading arrow had already been shot and was firmly nailed to the city wall. The * soldiers, who had already crossed the moat, accelerated to the bottom of the city. In addition to the pouting arrows, there are ladders and crashes in the back. As the defenders had predicted,* the soldiers in front attacked, while the soldiers behind filled the moat.
* The soldiers carried the ladder over the moat that was about to be filled and rushed to the city wall, *The soldiers held the ladder and tried to put the ladder on the city wall, while the Tibetan soldiers in the city desperately pushed the ladder with spears and other means. After some fighting, finally, the ladder was erected on the city wall.
*The ladder is specially made by the Armory, and the top is equipped with a hook, *After leaning the ladder against the city wall, pull it outward, and the ladder will firmly hook the female wall. The city did not have time to cheer, so they began to hold on to the ladder and climb vigorously, and a brave man climbed on top with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Several ladders approached the head of Lanzhou City one after another, and more and more * soldiers gathered at the bottom of the ladders, ready to enter the city. The rest of the soldiers automatically formed small formations to cover their robes to get to the city.
Of course, the Tibetan soldiers in the city would not sit idly by, and the guards shouted:
"Rolling stones, sassalwood!"
Riding * to attack the city, * archers did not dare to cover in all directions just now, the Tubo army sacrificed the sharp weapons that had been prepared to defend the city, and the * soldiers who were struggling to climb heard the exclamation of their brothers below, and felt a shadow in front of them, and before they could react, they were smashed into the air, and the protective shields in their hands were smashed into deep deflated. The soldiers who followed him tried to pin the rolling stones on the ladder with the short knives in their hands, but they were smashed down, and as for the soldiers who climbed up with the arrows, the Tibetan defenders chose to directly hit them with stones, and those who were about to climb to the top of the city stabbed them down with their spears.
A nimble soldier nimbly dodged the falling rocks on the ladder, but was killed by a feathered arrow fired diagonally.
As soon as the crash car under the gate of the city of Urn City exerted its power, the soldiers under the car were burned by the fire oil poured on the city and fled.
"These grandsons, they have learned the way to defend the city."
Seeing this scene, some of the generals watching the battle couldn't help but become anxious. Hao Jue glanced at the man and did not speak.
"When the two armies hold each other, it is natural to kill and injure each other through various methods in order to achieve victory, where is there a reason that you are only allowed to kill others, and others are not allowed to kill you. The way to do this is to figure out how to reduce the casualties on your own side and destroy more enemy forces in order to achieve victory. ”
Seeing Hao Jue's uncertain face, Du Dang, the representative of the Seventy Army on the side, seemed to speak to himself. Hearing Du Dare say this, the reckless young general immediately shut up and shifted his attention to the siege battle.
The brave* soldiers were still stubbornly attacking the city, one fell, the other rushed up, one fell, the other climbed up. More * soldiers gathered in the dead corners of the Tibetan army's defense under the city walls, waiting for the gap to rush forward.
Seeing the * soldiers hiding under the root of the city, several Tubo soldiers struggled to lift the stones that had just been thrown up by the stone throwing truck, and smashed them down, listening to the screams below, the Tubo soldiers were extremely excited, and just wanted to lift the stones again and smash them down, the sharp sound of breaking the air roared, and a huge thrust rushed him up, floating back, and when he looked down, an iron rod as thick as a spear hung with iron feathers deep in his waist and abdomen. Push him backwards hard, lean him against another person, and maybe another, and then hit a very hard object, and then stop. And the three men who pierced the arrows were already unconscious.
The jackdaw arrows of the eight-ox crossbow are powerful. After a hammer shot, dozens of spear-like arrows pierced the city, and the city head was suddenly empty. The soldier, who was struggling to climb, took advantage of the momentum, and one of the officers flicked several feathered arrows, and finally reached the tower after dodging the two scimitars that were slashing at him.
Fierce cheers rang out from the city. But the * officer didn't dodge the machete that followed. Fortunately, the follow-up* had already ascended to the top of the city, passed over the corpse of the dead robe, and opened a passage in the city wall.
"The one who just died in battle is Don't General Huang Min."
A voice whispered. That was one of the few wrestlers in the Jingyuan Army. During the martial arts, he wore red and hung colors.
More and more* climbed the tower, and several people formed a formation with their backs against the female wall to fight for more space for the brothers who would go up to the city later. An officer holding a * battle flag followed the ladder, dodged the cold arrows that came at him, and climbed to the top of the city.
"Go and tell the governor, this side can't hold it. Hao Jue's banner is here, and the car is here, but he still thinks that he is going to attack the West Gate, so he goes to ask for help! ”
The guard wiped the blood from his face and shouted at one of the generals. Then he commanded in a loud voice:
"Move the back camp under the city and go upstairs."
* He had only reached the top of the city in his first assault, and he was forced to use his reserves.
In front of him* had already merged into a large triangle on the right, and each of them was led by a warrior and stabbed towards the Tibetan army. With each step, a mist of blood splashed in the sky.
*has taken control of the middle of the city wall, and the *crash car under the city has no threat from above, and the crash is more joyful, and even the city wall seems to be shaking with the crash.
When the Tibetan guards cut down the nearest * soldier to him, he was already forced to the side of the road. The reserves that had just been transferred had already lost most of them. Just when he was about to lose all his thoughts, the familiar shouting of killing came.
The guard suddenly felt the pressure in front of him lighten. The governor transferred the garrison of the west gate.
The offensive on the city wall* was blocked, but Hao Wei didn't care, and Hao Wei's command flag waved a few times.
At the same time, countless Han Chinese dressed as slaves appeared on the streets of Lanzhou, and unlike before, they were armed with murderous weapons.
