Before Li Zizai climbed the city wall, his emotions were indescribably complicated.

And when he stood on the wall, there was no fear anymore.

Outside, there were countless military horses, battle flags were flying, and catapults were formed in a phalanx one by one.

The barbarians, who were all over two meters tall on average, rushed to the base of the wall without fear of death, set up ladders one by one and began to climb up.

The ladder is not up to the chopping hole, and the distance is almost five meters.

This was to prevent the defenders from knocking down the ladder, so they all carried ropes on their backs, and the end of the rope was attached to a one-meter iron chain, and at the end of the chain was a flying claw, which was used to climb the city.

The general of Weinan Pass guarding the city is surnamed Sun Mingliang, and he has met with Guo Linrui, the deputy chief soldier of the new barracks, at this time, and the two are of the same level, but the commander of the city defense at this time is Sun Liang.

"General Sun, why is it so fast?"

"The enemy is menacing, the siege is continuous, our side is too tired, so if you go on like this, you will be tired and die on the city wall before dusk, and now you can only ask new soldiers to alternate with veterans, so that veterans have a chance to rest!"

"I heard that there are 100,000 enemy troops outside?"

"That's right, the 300,000 barbarian army is divided into three ways, attacking three levels together!"

"Well, I can help you keep an eye on it?"

"Don't Lao Guo, I can still withstand it myself, I was attacked last night, and those cavalry can be killed?"

"Hey, they must have been operating here for a while, and the quality of individual combat on my side is poor, so let them run, and I have notified Shanhai City, please send cavalry over there to clear it." ”

"It's fine. ”

After the two spoke briefly, Sun Liang stepped forward to command, and Guo Linrui was in charge of scheduling.

The battle never stopped, and another group of barbarians reached the bottom of the chopping opening, and their flying claws hooked directly into the city wall.

Because of the chain attached to the back, the defenders could not cut it off.

And the rope was very long, and a string of barbarians below pulled the rope together, and the weight hung down, and it was difficult for several defenders to pull the iron claws off the city walls.

Sure enough, it was well prepared, and it is estimated that the defenders of the city suffered this loss this night.

Li Zizai had already gone up and cooperated with the veterans to deliver stones, arrows, and logs to them.

It's just that this kind of defense is very poor.

When something used for defense falls under the city wall, it becomes a pile, which invisibly lowers the height of the city wall and is conducive to the enemy's siege.

After half an hour of hard fighting, I saw that the enemy was about to rush forward.

The horn of war sounded again, and all the soldiers immediately stopped transporting the goods for the defense of the city, and made way for shield men and pikemen to rush forward.

By the time the road was full of soldiers, it was flooded.

The enemy has come up, but there is nowhere to stand.

The swordsmen in front of them slashed desperately, the shieldmen in the rear put their shields on top of the swordsmen's heads to defend, and the pikemen behind used their spears to assassinate the enemy.

Such a protracted battle was fought for another half an hour, and the losses on both sides could be described as heavy.

At the beginning, Li Zizai helped deliver the goods to the veterans who defended the city.

When the shieldmen and pikemen rushed up, he was lucky enough to get to the rear.

In fact, this has nothing to do with luck, Mr. Wu, an old man with integrity, now regards Li Zizi as a reliance for the rest of his life, and of course he doesn't want him to die here.

So he kept pulling Li Zizai, which made him stand at the back.

The fate of those sword soldiers was the saddest, they had to face the enemy, some were pulled off the city wall and fell to death, some were cut off hands and feet, and some were directly decapitated, the broken limbs on the road were scattered and messy, and then they were trampled directly by the crowd, and there was blood everywhere.

Finally, this wave of the enemy's onslaught was repulsed, and the defenders of the city brought oil and scattered it to ignite the fire, so that there was a sea of fire under the city wall, and the subsequent barbarians could not rush to it, and the front could not be answered, so they were killed.

On the city walls, all the soldiers' clothes were soaked.

The shouts of killing were gone, and the cries were rising.

"Big brother!"

"Chief Guard, open your eyes!"

"I'm blind, my eyes can't see, I can't see!"

Sun Liang, the general of the city guard, stood on a high place with a pale face and shouted:

"Hurry up and carry all the wounded off the city wall, hurry up, hurry up, the line of fire outside won't burn for long, hurry up!"

At his command, the soldiers on the walls of the city moved.

Everyone looked a little numb, no one knew when it would be over, and no one knew if they would die on the walls in the end.

In the corner, Mr. Wu's body trembled and pulled Li Zizai.

"Comfortable, you can't rush forward, you're rushing too hard. ”

Li Zizai's youthful righteousness broke out, and he said in a deep voice:

"Sir, we should be brave and fearless in killing the enemy on the battlefield, don't we want to defend the land?"

"Yes, yes, but it's always good to not die. ”

Mr. Wu, who is a literati and arrogant, has not achieved much in his life, and it seems that there is a reason.

However, his few words reminded Li Zizai.

It's always good to be able to not die, but in the face of such a siege battle, how can you not die?

The enemy is fierce, and now it seems that as long as they rush upwards without fear of death, they can always reach the city wall, even if the road is full of people, and both sides kill, many people on their side will surely die.

How can you not die?

They must not be allowed to go up the city wall, what are they going to do?

Hey?

Li Zizi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He looked sideways, and Li Jiao was not far away.

Their group of recruits did not withdraw, and they continued to prepare on the city wall to hand stones, stakes, bows and arrows to the veterans.

Li Zizai stretched out his hand and pulled me Li Jiao over.

Li Jiao was startled.

Although she is a cultivator and is informal, she is not willing to pull and pull with men casually.

Seeing that Li Zizai's handsome face was full of solemnity, Li Jiao's angry roar in her throat was forced to suppress and change to questions.

"What's the matter?"

"Commander Wei, yesterday we captured three hundred enemy black devil war horses, have you killed them?"

"It doesn't seem to be yet, it's all tied up in the forest outside the city, what?"

"Now it seems that it is easier for the enemy to climb the walls. ”

"Yes. ”

"If you can pull those war horses and tie them with ropes to hang in the air and at the battlements, the horses have long been accustomed to standing and flattening, and if they have no hooves, they will inevitably move up and down as if they are running wildly, and if they are stimulated, such as whipping, such as scolding, they will also want to gallop, and their hooves will move wildly. The enemy climbs up the wall and comes up with their claws, and we can only attack when they reach the attack range, and then the enemy can attack us. If we suspend the black magic horse in the air, there will be horses between the enemy and us, and they will climb under the horse's hooves, and they will be tired of the galloping hooves, and this will give us a buffer. ”

Li Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Li Zizi directly.

"This ...... You mean to hang the horses in a row under the battlements?"

"Yes. ”

"Is it possible? I've never heard of such a way to defend the city. ”

"Give it a try!"

Li Jiao pondered for a moment, then quickly turned around and pushed away the crowd.

Guo Linrui was not too far away, Li Jiao went directly to him and told him about Li Zizi's attention.

Guo Linrui frowned, he really hadn't seen this kind of method, and he couldn't figure it out, so he went to talk to Sun Liang and listen.

Sun Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, jumped up and slapped his thigh.

"Wonderful! It's not glamorous, but it's doable! I didn't think of it!"
