After the building quickly shrank and hid in the battlements of the city wall, the violent crashing sound appeared again. The sound of thunder and the trembling of the walls almost convinced him that the walls were about to be destroyed.
After waiting for a long time to pass, he dared to get up and poke his head out to look. The city walls are still standing, but their appearance has changed a lot, especially the urn city. The battlements in the walls were missing a large number, and the color of the walls had changed to bright red.
Hundreds of injured Hu soldiers were screaming, and the miserable screams made Lou's heart twitch sharply.
The reserves under the walls of the city began to climb the walls, some bowed down, some lay on their stomachs in the blood, and some dragged the wounded down the city.
Most of the wounded who were carried down the city wall were seriously injured, and after leaving the city, they were thrown by the wall and no one cared for them, and only a few who were slightly injured could still be treated by the doctors in the city. Listening to the terrible howls of the seriously wounded, tears of building buildings and sweating flowed.
The two were not pitiing those who were dying, but they were thinking of themselves. If he is seriously injured, his fate will be as tragic as that of those who are wailing in pain in the city. Gai Lou thought, his two sons are still young, if he dies, I don't know if their mother can support them?
Gailou only begged the child's mother not to be too blind, and to marry a ruthless person, so that his own child would suffer.
Just as Gailou was completely silent in grief, he was suddenly pulled down. "You don't want to die! Han Dog's Thunderbolt has been launched again! Before he could finish his words, the sound and vibration of the object hitting the wall reappeared.
Wave, wave, wave......
The thunderbolt of the Hedong Army fired ten rounds, and the whole city wall was full of wailing, but the luck of building the building and breaking sweat was very good, and the section of the battlement wall where the two were not hit by a mud bomb.
Yes, mud bombs. It's not a stone bullet!
Although they are hard and more stone-bombed, the texture is mud bomb.
The eleventh round of blows came, and the building, broken and sweaty, continued to hide under the battlements with his head in his hands, begging for more blessings. But this time the sound was not as dull as before. It's like the sound of breaking a water tank.
Immediately, Gailou's expression changed drastically, and his nose smelled a strong pungent smell, and he got up and went to Wengcheng. Then he heard someone shouting in the city of urns, "It's the oil, it's the oil." Han dog is going to attack on fire, everyone is ready to put out the fire! ”
"Kerose?" Gailou was shocked in his heart, this damaging thing, the sand prepared in the past two days was really used......
The miserable shouts of the urn city have been heard. Gailou couldn't help but stick his head out to look. I saw several huge fireballs in the sky flying towards the city wall.
A huge fireball fell on the wall of the urn city, and in an instant, the city wall turned into a sea of fire. The defenders in the fire howled and beat the flames on their bodies, but in an instant, they were swallowed up by the thick black smoke that rose.
Three miles away, Zhu Biao looked at the burning city wall of Ximen Urn City, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you think our army can take Dragon City today?"
"Handsome! The subordinates couldn't think of any way to hold the city. But if the time is only one day today, it will be too urgent. ”
"It's the west wind today—"
When Zhu Biao and Yang Yanzhang were talking, the siege tower had already begun to move forward. The windows at the front of the tower were pushed open one by one, revealing the large yellow crossbows, power crossbows, and repeater crossbows inside.
When the entire urn city was plunged into a sea of fire, the siege tower had already moved three hundred steps in front of the urn city. A burst of crossbow arrows added another spoonful of oil to the urn city in the sea of fire.
The thunderbolt was projected in front and back for more than half an hour, and the mud bombs hit the entire city wall, and the fire burned the entire urn city. All the horns were ablaze. Even the hidden soldier cave hidden in the shadows suffered the same blow.
Such a dense blow was fatal to the Hu soldiers on the city wall. Built Lou lay behind the battlement, his body close to the ground, not daring to move for half a minute. Forty meters to the left of where he was lying on his stomach, a corner of the city wall had just been hit by a fire oil bullet.
Gailou finally understood why the fire was burning so badly. It turned out that the jar of smelly and fragrant fire oil was filled with a lot of grass velvet. Once the oil tank is broken, all the grease-soaked grass fleece in it will disperse. It can cover all the three or five zhang ranges. No wonder there is also sand prepared on the urn city, but it doesn't work at all.
Although he couldn't see the people who had escaped from the corner tower with flames on their bodies, their screams were clearly heard in his ears. The smoke drifting away in the wind was filled with a pungent smell of burning. Gai Lou knew what it smelled like, retching, the vomiting in the early days had already vomited all the things in his stomach, and now there was not much yellow bile water left.
What should I do?
Built the floor asked himself over and over again. He did not dare to run away. Hu will kill everyone who is afraid to flee. Before going to the city wall, his own thousand cavalry commanders also put down their cruel words, "If you dare to escape, you will be killed!" ”
But he didn't want to die just like that. The thought of being burned alive made him tremble. This fear even surpassed the threat of the warlord.
Be careful, be careful!
Gai Lou made up his mind that for the sake of his wife and children, he must go back alive. He's paddling.
After the idea of avoiding the battle, Gailou has been observing the actions of the Du Hu general, because he cannot be seen by the leaders when paddling. Inadvertently, he saw that Broken Khan was also staring at the leader of the war, and wondered, did he have the same thoughts as himself? Do you want to call him when you run away later?
The corpses of war horses left behind by the previous battles brought enough horse oil to the Han army. It is a wonderful thing, burns, hemorrhoids, knife wounds, abrasions, suppurations, skin allergies, frostbite, sore shoulders, neuralgia, cold hands and feet, rotten wounds on the lips, nose, ears, and even colds. Knife wounds, in particular, can prevent re-inflammation, watering, and help wounds heal.
When a large amount of horse oil was made into fire oil, the military doctor was very distressed. These were of great benefit to the wounded soldiers of previous wars.
But it is necessary to make zuò oil.
As a result, the thunderbolt carts of the Hedong Army had an inexhaustible supply of projectiles that were thrown at the city wall without stopping. Sometimes, a few more fire oil bombs will be added to some key places, so that some key places on the city wall will burn more continuously.
The reserves of the Hu people under the city have already come up several groups, but they have only increased the casualties. The newly appointed King Bei no longer dared to call people to the city, and only a few people remained in the urn city to watch. All the Hu people could do was to wait for the siege troops of the Hedong Army to come up, and then kill them to fight hand-to-hand.
I have to say that as a nation on horseback, the Hu people, especially the Hu people who stayed in the base camp of Dragon City. They really won't defend the city.
The Thunderbolts attacked for more than an hour, and after the walls were in flames, they moved fifty paces forward under the cover of the shield carts and the shield wall.
Below, fifty-five thunderbolts will shoot into the Dragon City, and today is a tight westerly wind!
The five damaged thunderbolts are also being repaired and replaced.
Under the cover of the infantry army, the siege tower had advanced to less than a hundred paces from the urn city. They had already crossed the Thunderbolt formation.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! "After the urn city, the Hu generals on the city walls began to give orders. Those powertrains. At this time, it was already possible to aim at the target and shoot the crossbow arrow.
But what about crossbow arrows? Even if it hits the siege tower, it is useless. How can the fire soaked in the crossbow bolts ignite the sparks when they can't even rely on the outermost layer of silt on the tall siege towers? A drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket.
"Boom!" Bang. A large arrow was fired at the battlements where the towers were hiding. This was a heavy arrow shot from a five-stone rhubarb crossbow, and the stones of the battlements were torn apart, and several pieces hit the body of the building. Gailou endured the pain, hugged his head and lay on the ground without moving.
After this round of shooting by the Hedong Army, Gailou dared to look up to check his injured parts, but fortunately, there were only a few marks on his thighs and arms that were scratched by flying stones, although he was bleeding. But not strictly. He tore a few strips of cloth from his body and hastily bandaged the wound.
Before he could finish bandaging, another round of shooting from the Hedong Army arrived. The heavy bolts continued to hit the battlement wall above the building, and the flying rubble not only hit him again, but also Broken Khan. Gai Lou saw a large amount of blood flowing from under the broken sweat lying next to him on his right, and a forced moan came out of his mouth.
At this time, even though it was close at hand, he didn't dare to step forward to help break the sweat. Crossbow bolts in the air whistled and scattered like raindrops, slamming down on the battlements. The screams of the people who were hit were constantly heard. At this time, everyone in the city lay on the ground and did not dare to move for half a minute, even the hundred and thousand cavalry commanders who supervised the battle did not know where to hide at this time.
Gailou cursed in his heart for his hundred riders. Although the hundred horsemen stopped staring at people just now, they couldn't go down the city wall even if they built a building. But at this dangerous moment, Tsurulou can only use swearing to relieve the pressure on his heart.
Taking advantage of the interval between the launch of the big yellow crossbow of the Hedong Army, Gailou quickly got up and pulled up the broken sweat and moved to the side. The battlements were hit twice by crossbow arrows and swayed. He didn't dare to stay any longer. During this period, he also looked up and looked outside the city, and saw that the siege tower of the Hedong Army was less than fifty steps away from the urn city.
Finished! Hangou is about to enter the city! Gai Lou shifted his position a little, and was just lying on the ground again.
"Broken sweat! Where are you hurt? "Only then did the building have time to take care of the broken sweat injury. Broken sweat's face has turned pale, "My shoulders are ......"
A piece of rubble hit the broken sweaty shoulder blade. The leather armor was worn.
"You bear with it, wait a while, and then you will go down."
Breaking Sweat raised his head and smiled again, but Gailou saw that his face had turned blue.
The sound of "boom" continued, and the mixture of mud bombs and fire oil continued to play in Dragon City.
The fire has risen in the city, the west wind is strong, and the Hu people in Dragon City will have a burst of fun.
"Counter Attack, Counter Attack, Archery, Archery ......"
I don't know when the Hundred Riders and the Thousand Riders returned behind them, shouting frantically.
The crossbowmen behind the battlements shot stubbornly, shooting arrows indiscriminately through the narrow holes in the battlements. As for whether it can hit the target and whether it can be effective, I don't have the heart to check it again.
Gailou is not a strong crossbowman, but he has a bow and arrows at hand, so at this time he can only stand up and shoot outward, shooting indiscriminately. The sound of killing came from the urn city, and he didn't dare to stick out his head to look, because there were many Hedong army marksmen on the siege tower, and maybe an arrow was waiting for him to show his head.
He had just seen a ten-captain with a shield over his head, and wanted to climb to the other side, but as soon as he had climbed a few steps away, he was shot in the waist by a crossbow arrow, which was nailed directly to the wall, and he died after a miserable half-cup of tea.
A loud "bang" came from the urn city. "Ahh The Han dog is banging on the door! An exclamation sounded from whose mouth I don't know. The heart of the building jumps!
Fear was slowly clenching his heart.
Urn City.
The siege towers lowered the bridge planks, and the 800 trapping camps poured out from the siege towers. Han Gang and Han Meng stepped on the city with a one-legged bronze man and Lei Gongbo, and their brothers were full of confidence. Hu Gou's dismount will not do any damage to the trap at all.
Thousands of heavily armored infantry soldiers waited outside the city gates, and the thick battering rams knocked on the gates of the urn city one by one. And the city gate is thickly wrapped with iron and copper nails. Slowly twisted and deformed in the heavy blows.
The trapped camps and hoplites who had climbed the city walls had engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the swarming Hu soldiers. The wall beneath his feet was hot and hot, and blood was spilled on it, snorting and stinking with a scorched smell.
The Hu soldier with a scimitar and spear was not an opponent of the camp at all, nor was he an opponent of the infantry of the Hedong Army wearing twenty-five pounds of heavy armor. The hammers and broadswords in the hands of these heavily armored infantry struck Hu Bing's body, which was either dead or wounded, and Hu Bing's attacks were rarely fatal with one blow.
"Bang-"
As the well is approaching. The arrow crossbow became another sharp weapon of the Hedong Army. And more Hedong infantry also carried and pushed more than 20 ladder carts to the city wall, and the ladders were buckled at the head of the city in turn, and countless Hedong army ants attached to them......
The spears were like a dense forest at the mouth of the bridge, and the blades were pressed between the battlements like mountains.
The Hu people are not strong in battle, but they have an absolute advantage in numbers. The cloud-like rain of arrows even washed the city directly, along with their own people.
If Zhu Biao hadn't been guarding against this a long time ago. The infantry armor that landed in the city was all heavily armored, and if a dog like Hu Gou shot indiscriminately, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
One Hu soldier fell, and two Hu soldiers poured up from the Tibetan soldier cave and the entrance of the city ladder. The tragic sound of killing resounded in the sky, the sword light and sword shadows, and the fierce blood splashed, and the collision of iron and blood on the battlefield was the most perfect interpretation at this moment.
"Press back, press back. Push back to this king—"
The humble king was stunned. It was only one attack that hit the city. Is the warrior still a man?
"The king......" A golden ring behind him shouted in embarrassment.
The fire in Dragon City is not small. Dragon City, which has not experienced the attack and defense of the city for more than 200 years, from the upper nobles to the lower people, has long forgotten what precautions to take when defending the city.
No one covered their roofs with silt, and there was no real fire barrier. The generals all thought of the fire oil attack at the head of the city, but they did not expect that the fire oil could not only be thrown at the head of the city, but also in the city.
West wind, I wish Biao the right west wind. The raging fire was burning in Dragon City, and at least tens of thousands of Hu Qiqi were fighting the fire at this time.
The Thunderbolt was constantly damaged in the constant firing. Fifty, forty-five, forty......
Zhu Biao didn't let the Thunderbolt formation stop, continued to shoot, continued to shoot.
He just can't take Dragon City today, and he has to give the Hu people in the city the deepest impression.
The fire in Dragon City can not only disrupt Dragon City, but also disrupt the Hu people's reserve army. And the fire blocked the traffic, which also blocked the path of the Hu people to transfer troops. Don't look at the Hu soldiers in Wengcheng who are surging up so quickly now. It's so fierce, I can't guarantee that there will be no soldiers below the next moment.
In the palace, there was chaos.
The Da Yan clan ascended to the highest pavilion of the palace and looked at the sea of fire in the western city. Her face no longer had an angry yin cold, but only a panicked panic.
Dragon City will be lost!
At this moment, she really felt death and a threat in her heart. **Wan Hu Qi couldn't stop the spread of this panic.
"Mother!" Wu Hanxian didn't know what to do. The sudden chaos in Dragon City overwhelmed him. But he remembered a man, a man who brought it up and was sent to prison.
"Tu Qi, Lord Tu Qi. Mother, let Master Tu Qi come out. Redeem the merit for the sin, atone for the sin! ”
It's like a drowning man grasping at the last straw. Wu Han grabbed Tu Qi obliquely.
No matter how you say that Tu Qi is also the captain of Zuo Dadu, even if he loses the battle, he can speak in his ability, and the Da Yan clan cannot deny Tu Qi's excellence. Otherwise, Tu Qi would not have been brought out of prison in the first place.
"Titu Qi-" The order came out of the mouth of the most noble woman among the Hu people.
……
The fighting on the urn city continues.
It was like a hell's crucible, and countless living beings rushed to fall into it. Han Gang looked at the Hu soldiers who were squeezing over like a tide, and in the face of these seemingly inexhaustible enemies, he also felt a trace of helplessness in his heart.
With a soft snort, the right eye of a soldier trapped in the camp beside Han Gang was hit by a mace inserted from the opposite side. The intense pain made his eyes crack, and he slashed the man who had injured him on the city wall with a backhand.
The soldier stepped back, and a new trap soldier took his place behind him.
Han Gang's clothes and armor were soaked with blood, and the one-legged bronze man on his hand was stained with brains and blood. He also suffered a few wounds on his body, but the fight on the death line made him feel no pain in his body. Some of the soldiers in the trapping camp also fell, and not alone. They all did their best to the last of their ability. This kind of fighting is not only a test of people's body and skills, but also a test of people's will, and if they lack any of them, they will be ruthlessly eliminated.
Gai Lou's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the scimitar in his hand was raised high. He hated the infantry of the Hedong Army in front of him, and he alone killed seven or eight people in the team of 100 cavalry who built a building. Even the broken sweat that was driven to the urn city before he had time to go down to the city to heal his wounds died in his hands, and now he wants to avenge his brother, and he wants to take out the heart of this Han army officer to see if it is black.
