Chapter 185: Never So Miserable

In the southwest corner of the city of Wabang, the gray dust and mist are still in the air. In front of Old Man Liu, there was a row of pine resin fire wires, and the smoke and black smoke of pine resin burning were swirling. He took his bow and arrows in his hand and stared in amazement at the firelight on the wall in front of him.

A raging fire broke out on a ladder, and those young and strong young people screamed loudly, turning into clumps of flames and falling down from above. The Donghu army at the head of the city was still smashing the porcelain jar below, and the oil in the jar was poured out and immediately added to the fire.

The ladder on the front left is gone! Not far away, a military general pointed his knife at that side and shouted, "Throw! ”

"Urgent ......" There was another roar, and Old Man Liu was soon shrouded in the flying loess, and he coughed.

At this time, the voice of the king of the hundred households shouted to release the arrows again, and the row of soldiers where the old man Liu was located hung down their bows and arrows one after another, and lit the tarpaulin wrapped around the arrow cluster on the pine resin fire line in front of them.

The chords of "bang ......" sounded one after another, and rockets in the air flew towards the city like fireflies.

Old man Liu looked at an enemy soldier holding a clay pot at the battlement, and shot an arrow "bang". The rocket hit the crockpot, and the cluster of arrows shattered the crockpot, and the burning oilcloth ignited the oil that flowed out.

Old man Liu vaguely saw that the enemy soldier was burning all over, and stumbled and fell down to the city, and the screams were mixed with countless shouts, like a small pebble thrown into the sea, without any waves.

Old man Liu had just pulled out an arrow from the quiver and was still looking at the city, when he suddenly saw many enemy soldiers with bows and arrows coming up. Old man Liu hurriedly shouted: "The archers stand back, and the shield comes up!" ”

Hearing the shout, the soldiers in the front row took two steps back, allowing the spear and shield men behind them to step forward through the cracks. Fortunately, Old Man Liu shouted early, and sure enough, he shot dense feather arrows.

Old man Liu shrunk his neck, and heard the iron caps on the heads of several juniors next to him be hit by the rain of arrows.

"Ahh A loud cry came, and the big shield in the hand of a soldier fell, and the man covered his face with his hands, and kept screaming.

A ladder truck slowly pushed up from behind, passing by Old Man Liu. Because there was a ladder that was getting bigger and bigger, and it couldn't be extinguished at all, and no one continued to climb up, and a new ladder was needed there.

Beneath the blazing ladder, the soldiers turned and ran to the slope of the earth, many of whom were climbing the city wall with their shields. The entire wall was filled with smoke, and arrows flew in all directions like locusts.

The situation was even worse on the ground, and the two sides were stabbing each other with spears across a battlement. The arrows and javelins in the air were very dense, and the shouts and screams had already resounded through the heavens and the earth. Under the corners of the walls on both sides of the earth, the corpses have piled up!

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear army, and Old Man Liu heard someone shouting: "General Zhao, the general on the left road, is here!" ”

Old man Liu followed the sound and looked, and sure enough, he saw a team of elite horsemen running behind, and a banner with the word "Zhao" written on it was hunting and flying in the wind.

The general, dressed in a blood-red cloak, shouted every time he came to a phalanx: "This is the city that the thief holds!" The capture of the city of Wabang is a great achievement. The husband should serve the country with his body and make contributions in this move! Those who ascend to the city first, I Zhao Gong will not hesitate to be rewarded. ”

The young Baihu Wang Shouye nearby, when he saw the general coming to the battlefield in person, he excitedly waved his knife and shouted: "The husband has made great contributions!" ”

"Meritorious service...... all the troops shouted loudly.

The generous shouts quickly subsided as General Zhao rode away, and the screams, moans, and cries from the air once again enveloped the city.

The sun gradually rose overhead, but the smoke was thick and the shadow of the sun was dim, as if it were in the clouds.

At this time, General Sun Jie and his party rode to the front of the military formation, and Wang Shouye of the hundred households immediately stepped forward to pay respects.

"Do you see the bulkhead in front of you? Li Baihu's men and horses were killed and wounded, and he himself was dead, and they could no longer continue to attack the city. Wang Baihu, you must attack the city wall! ”

Wang Shouye clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

The horn behind the "woo ......" sounded for a long time, and as soon as the drum was beaten, Wang Shouye drew his saber and shouted: "Go forward in turn!" ”

Old man Liu clenched the bow and arrow in his hand, followed behind the spear and shield soldiers, and followed in a line with the remaining eight or nine juniors under his command, and everyone quickly jumped over the line of fire burning pine resin in front.

There was a "whoosh" sound in the smoke, and the black shadows of arrows constantly broke through the air from the fog. From time to time, someone shouted and fell to the ground, and no one in the 100 households paid attention to the wounded, they had to rush up to the wall, and the wounded soldiers could only be left behind the brothers to help.

Old man Liu turned his head and said to the juniors under him: "There are people crowded, don't worry about running, look ahead with a clever brain." Don't rush to release arrows, don't run out of strength. ”

Everyone answered a few times one after another.

"Kill!" Wang Baihu shouted, the military flag waved, and the spear and shield soldiers in front of him took the lead in rushing towards the side of the base. Old man Liu and the others also ran forward.

When the people went up the slope, Wang Baihu's face turned a lot whiter, and he didn't seem to be as impassioned as before. There is no dirt to be seen on the slopes, there are dead people! People had to climb up the pile of dead people with their hands and feet.

Old man Liu turned his head and glanced at the bottom of the dirt slope, the corners of the city wall looked like mass graves and mass graves! The corpses below were already piled up, there were people in the army, the Donghu army, people wearing all kinds of hats, and there were those who were not dead, stretching out a hand and moving, so terrible that it was like a netherworld.

"Ah......h Suddenly, a number of sharpened bamboos flew out of a bed crossbow and stabbed against the faces of the soldiers in front of them. There was a soldier whose chest was pierced, and the man was not dead, but was stuck there spitting blood and struggling desperately.

Old man Liu looked up and saw that many enemy soldiers were walking to the battlement with bows and arrows. He stretched out his bow and arrows, but saw a cart with a barrel pushed against the wall, and white smoke was still rising from the barrel. Old man Liu looked at the enemy soldiers standing next to the barrel and shot an arrow out with a "bang".

A moment later, there was a shout from the city, and the enemy soldier who had been hit by the arrow accidentally overturned the barrel. The hot, foul-smelling golden juice of dung was sprinkled on several of the Too-soldiers, who were struggling and fluttering behind the battlements like fish ashore.

"Ahh An army of soldiers rolled from the top of the wall to the slope, several men held him down, and saw that his right hand had been cut off, and blood was still flowing in the white bones and flesh, and the soldiers were splashed with blood all over their bodies, and their left hand was clutching their right arm, and they only cared about shouting.

At this time, the old man Liu was hit on the left, and he hurriedly supported the soldier who hit him, and saw that the young man had his mouth wide open, and he was vomiting blood with saliva. Old man Liu stretched out his hand and touched it, only to find that an arrow cluster had been pierced into the neck of the descendant. He pushed away the afterlife and let the afterlife wait for his own death, because he couldn't be saved.

Old man Liu made a painful sound from his mouth, crying and inhaling with a sad face. He's fought a lot of battles along the way, but he's never seen a scene like today.
