Spear-like arrows were fired from the few seven bed crossbows. One by one, they wedged deep into the wall and lined up until they reached the female wall. This will be another path for the Song army to attack the city. Climbing this arrow that is deep into the stone wall is enough for a nimble person to climb the top of the wall.
The defender of the army will poke his head out from the battlements and look at it, and he feels a strong wind blowing in his face, and the instinct of the warrior makes him shrink back for no reason, and a long arrow full of strength grabs against his cheek, leaving a bloody water on his face.
"Click, click, ......" A series of wood-stone collision sounds sounded, and countless ladder trucks were hitched onto the city wall. The bulky rush has not yet arrived, but as soon as there is a ladder, the siege can begin. Under the cover of their own strong bow and crossbow forces, the Song army began to seize the top of the fortress for the first time.
"Knock-"
Not far away, twenty Song military wrestlers who arrived first, under the cover of a group of sword players, were carrying a heavy and thick round bumper wood and mercilessly slamming the door.
Above the city, arrows rained down and swallowed the clouds. Although the melee battle of the sword soldiers was about to begin, this did not prevent the archers under the city from throwing their sharp arrows high over the city walls into the city or into the Donglang Pass. Although this could not kill or injure a large number of enemy troops, it would undoubtedly be able to slow down the speed at which rolling logs and stones were transported from the bottom up to defend the city.
Moreover, the cloud-like arrows flew overhead, which could also deter the defenders on the gate.
The rain of arrows flew towards the head of the city, and the dense arrows looked like an impenetrable dark cloud from a distance, and the huge advantage in numbers and excellent protection made the Song army foot archers under the city once again suppress the defenders at the head of the city at close range.
Time went back little by little, and the rush finally arrived-
Zhu Biao, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, saw that the time was ripe, and immediately issued an order for a general attack. Hundreds of war drums beat at the same time, and the dull sound of the drums was like a call from the Nine Shadows, urging everyone on the battlefield.
Chen An's big knife was raised above his head, and the head of the sword shimmered with a cold light that made people feel biting cold under the dazzling sunlight. Without looking back, he knew that the two thousand elite soldiers behind him were silently watching him. These are the two veterans under his command who are still pure. For him, the head of the battalion in which the army is rapidly cold, it not only means reliability, but also means a kind of honor and a kind of pride that is overwhelming.
They must be stronger than the other six, otherwise, why would Zhu Biao and Chen An let them stay the same?
As the number of battalion leaders continued to expand, this feeling of coexistence of glory and pressure became more and more clearly imprinted in the hearts of every soldier. Right now. It's time for them to show their worth.
Feeling the brave and fearless gaze of the soldiers behind him, Chen An's big sword swung fiercely towards Donglang Pass, and roared loudly: "Rush-"
"Rush, rush, rush......" The sound of charging rushed straight into the sky, and the loud shouts permeated the heavens and the earth.
Chen Ping held a shield that was higher than his body. A pair of eyes were red as if seeping into blood, and his mouth shouted meaningless syllables, stepping over the remains of the Song soldiers who fell under the city, and rushed to the city wall for the second time.
He is Chen An's brother, and the two joined the army together that year. One of the two old troops under Chen An was led by him.
Except for the crossbowmen and shield wall guns used for cover, the rest of the heads of the six divisions were all thrown into the battlefield. Fight so far. The losses are not small......
As the elite of the bottom, the sharp force of the assault, the two veteran units immediately entered the offensive sequence. After a charge, a quarter of Chen Ping's soldiers fell.
At the foot of the city, there were unextinguished fires wafting in the wind everywhere, and the boiling water poured by the defenders on the city was steaming on the ground. Although the morale of the prince's army is not high, the morale of the army is not low. The number of people is even more at an absolute disadvantage, but there is a strong Donglang Pass to rely on, and the Song soldiers who are wearing the same color but have an extra circle of yellow sides compared with the prince's army still fell to the ground.
The remains of the ladder, smashed by rolling wood and stones, began to burn violently immediately after being poured hot oil; There are also car rushes, wood crashes, and so on...... and the blood-soaked red earth in the flames.
Desolate screams, roars, and the sound of mighty war drums resounded everywhere on the battlefield, and behind the crowds of people fighting for their lives, the creaking of ladder wheels, the hum of bowstring vibrations, and the rolling of rushing carts converged.
All the sounds are intertwined, and what is blended is a song of iron and blood. This is the brutality of siege warfare, which is completely different from field warfare.
Chen Ping had completely lost the ability to think at this time, all he thought about was to kill Shangguan, and after retreating, he immediately took the ladder cart allocated to his troops. Towards Donglang Pass, once again launched a more courageous impact than the last time.
Behind each ladder truck, followed by a team of brave soldiers.
Chen Ping held a shield in one hand, a cloud ladder in the other, a single knife in his mouth, and two short axes in his waist. The first one takes the lead and rushes upward.
There are no rolling wood and stones falling like rain on Donglang Pass, and the previous Song army's several strong attacks have consumed the stones and wood on the pass, and even the collapsed city gate tower has been demolished.
However, there is no shortage of bows and crossbows. Otherwise, Chen Ping is so good at holding a shield, this thing is too much of a hindrance when climbing the ladder.
"Bang bang!" With a slight slap in his left hand, his arm was slightly numb, and two crossbow bolts were nailed to the shield, and Chen Ping scolded secretly.
Quickly climbed to the upper half of the ladder, Chen Ping, who had experience in a siege, knew that the crossbowmen who released the arrows in this kung fu should have changed their crossbow arrows and were about to start shooting for the second time. The right hand holding the ladder reached behind his waist, and a short axe was held in his hand. Violently cracking the shield in his hand, when the two crossbowmen of the Prince Army who had been wound up poked their heads out again to prepare for a second launch, a short axe flew towards the battlement like a swirling snow.
The blade of the axe slashed through the necks of the two crossbowmen, and the short axe continued to spin upwards more than two zhang high before landing on the surface of the city. Chen Ping took advantage of the prince's saber and spearmen at the battlement, reflexively cracked back to open a little space, got up and jumped to the juncture. In mid-air, another short axe was thrown out, slashing and killing a prince saber player, and as soon as his teeth loosened, his right hand took the knife outward, and opened a spear that stabbed at him.
The shield in his left hand also blocked a big knife that slashed vertically, and the tip of Chen Ping's knife was on the move, and the cold blade had already pierced into the body of the big sword soldier. The big sword soldier didn't expect this to be the result, and he couldn't cut people with his big sword, but was raised high by the shield, and the middle door was exposed. The strong body was like an electric shock in an instant, and the instinct for survival made him throw away the big knife in his hand, and his hands grabbed the blade of his abdomen. But where did he grasp Chen Ping's draw faster, the blood spurted out, and the bloody single knife had already stopped the spear that stabbed again on the right.
With a "bang", a feather arrow hit the shield in Chen Ping's hand, and the person who shot the arrow obviously had a lot of arm strength, and the strength of the bow used was far beyond the hard bow in the ordinary army, and the strength was even stronger than the crossbow by three or four points. After the feather arrow was inserted into the shield, the tail of the arrow still swayed and trembled, and the unprepared Chen Ping's left hand was sour for a while.
He didn't know who shot the arrow, where the archer was hiding, and the soldiers who were rushing behind him had already arrived beside him.
"Kill!" "Kill!" The war drums behind him beat more urgently, and the drums beat more passionately. Chen An held the same shield, roared loudly, jumped on the flying ladder and ran towards the juncture.
The punch car is too bulky, extremely wasteful, and the structure is very complicated. By the time Chen Anying started, there were only ten bodies in the Song army, and all of them were the most courageous and daring men in the army.
The ten rushing carts sandwiched in the more than a mile-long Donglangguan city wall are not very eye-catching, although they are far more threatening than the ladder cars. Because above and below the city, everywhere you can see is a ladder cart erected high, and rows of Song soldiers wearing purple and yellow-edged robes and holding shields are like a huge ant colony, climbing towards the head of Donglang Pass.
The Thunderbolt Formation had moved forward a full fifty paces, and they were only a hundred paces away from the city. Five of the thirty thunderbolts lay on their stomachs, and the remaining twenty-five thunderbolts that could still continue to work went crazy and fired stones into the Donglang Pass. At any cost, come to create more trouble for the prince's army in the Guannai.
In addition to the thunderbolt cars that moved forward, the greatest threat to the princes' army in the city were the four lookout cars and two buckets that had just been erected fifty paces below the city. Twelve zhang to fifteen zhang high they are higher than the head of the Donglang Pass, each lookout car, the bucket is carried by three to five lookouts, good shooters, in addition to the use of clairvoyance to observe the military dispatch and changes in the pass in detail, to the thunderbolt car group and the infantry archer group to indicate the direction of the target, or with a hard bow, or with a strong crossbow, accurately shoot the key defenders on the pass.
Anyway, there are not many changes in Donglang Pass, and the prince's army wants to transfuse blood to the pass, and most of them go to the Tibetan Soldier Cave. When they went up, they were constantly looking for what they thought was important, and almost every bowstring sounded, a princeling soldier or junior officer would die. It's completely a cold-weapon version of a sniper.
The Song army, which received effective support, was even more able to let go of the fight.
Chen An unconsciously received this kind of benefit. At the battlement corresponding to the ladder where he was, two crossbowmen of the prince's army were carefully aiming at him, and two crossbow arrows flew in, killing them in an instant.
At the head of the city, a group of soldiers of the prince's army were glaring at Chen Ping with fierce eyes, and when they saw their robed brothers being killed by him, they were frightened and full of anger at the same time.
As if the murderous aura of substance was forced in front of him, Chen Ping just sneered in his heart. (To be continued.)
