I have to say that Li Shushi did underestimate the resilience of the grassland peoples. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
The reason why Shi Kele withdrew his troops ahead of schedule yesterday was not only because of the fiasco of Shiyu, but also because of the shiny walls of Lishi City. This was a great difficulty for the Karma, who had always been accustomed to climbing the uneven rammed earth walls as their means of attack, and if they were not prepared, they would probably lose a large number of soldiers due to the lack of siege means.
Originally, Shi Kele planned to learn some long ladders from the Han people, but Li Shushi's trebuchet made him very jealous, after all, although that kind of thing was now loaded with scattered bullets, it was originally used to fire large stone bullets. Shi Kele felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it when it hit the ladder, so the idea just went through his mind once and decided to give up.
So he waited very patiently for another day.
By the time of today's siege, the soldiers of the Qiang tribe began their countermeasures under the cover of the bows and arrows of their comrades behind them.
So, when the people rushed to the city for an hour, they had already begun to climb the city, and some of them had already begun to climb the city. Although the soldiers behind Peng Pai were soon taken down by the other party who had just landed in the city, this was enough to attract the attention of the generals defending the city. Gao Shun, who was personally commanded by the head of the city, immediately sent people to investigate.
The results of the investigation surprised Li Shushi, and the people were able to climb from the slippery ice to the top of the city.
"I'm afraid that we didn't continue to use water to strengthen the ice wall after pouring it, and as a result, although the temperature is not high these days, the sun is not blocking it during the day, so the ice is probably not as strong as we thought, so it is a chance for the people to take advantage of it. Although the people lack iron tools, I think it should be no problem to make a few chisels for opening roads. ”
Cheng Yu saw Li Shushi with an inexplicable face, and had to say his guess. And for such an explanation, Li Shushi can only make a helpless expression, after all, it is still difficult to get water in winter, and the garrison outside the city is withdrawn into the city all of a sudden, such a population change will inevitably have a great impact on the distribution of materials in the city.
As for Jia Xu, he hoped that the Xianbei people would have the ability to attack the city, otherwise this battle would be too boring, and at the same time, it would lose the value of training the troops that he had expected before - after all, the Xianbei people are far superior to the Xianbei people in terms of the number of cannon fodder and the number of high-end combat troops, and if the weather gets warmer at that time, it is difficult to say whether Li Shushi's little tricks can be used, so the melee troops must be the main force of that battle, but the current troops are obviously unable to withstand that kind of intense battle.
"Forget it, it doesn't hurt if the people climb up, there are only a few paths they can open up in such a short time, and we can gradually adapt to the enemy's attack, which is not all a bad thing for us. You said I was right, Wenhe. ”
The lord is not bad at what he said. However, I am afraid that the intensity of the battle will become more and more intense, so please also ask the generals to be prepared. ”
Jia Xu still had that calm expression, obviously the current situation was basically within his expectations.
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Shushi, who had been hiding in a safe place behind him to rest for a while after Peng Pai stood up, no longer hid, and completely handed over the decision-making power of the city head command to Gao Shun and Cheng Yu, and took Su Xiaololi and the two guard captains and their own guards to rush to the city wall and began to fight viciously with those people who rushed to the city head.
The first person who died at the hands of Li Shushi was really a little wronged, and his hand just reached the slippery city, so that Li Shushi's Yitian sword, which was comparable to a door panel, chopped his fingers. As a result, Li Shushi only heard a long scream, and the owner of the finger disappeared into the city. The screams of the infiltration made Li Shushi shudder in his heart, but he soon recovered and began to continue looking for the other people who had risen on the city wall. It's just that soon, Li Shushi, who has a bad taste, liked this kind of sneak attack after discovering the fun of smashing his fingers with a "door panel", and killed five or six people who came up like this in a row.
And under his leadership, in addition to Su Xiaololi, who acted as a doctor, and the two guards who played live darts with stones and halberds, other guards also set off a finger chopping movement. Because there are not many "ice roads" that can climb the city wall, for a while, because of Li Shushi's addition, the people have no chance to climb the city, and even those who were smashed down have become the "weapons" of the defending side.
But the people are not all stupid people, they are also looking for all kinds of ways to break through to the city. Since climbing up under the battlements will face the boulders and boiling oil thrown by the soldiers defending the city, few people have rushed up from there. Many of the Karma people began to take a slightly more circuitous route, finding a gap between the two battlements and climbing up from this place, which was a little higher than the battlement, but with much less immediate threat.
Perhaps the "notoriety" of Li Shushi and others chopping their fingers on the head of the city has spread to the city, so when the people who ascended the city were about to reach the city, they would try their best to rush upwards or diagonally upwards, using guò to avoid the nightmare of chopping their hands.
It's just that he has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. Li Shushi, who discovered that the Qiang people had adopted a new way of fighting, immediately took advantage of this habit of theirs and slashed people directly in the air. Of course, if there is a traverser standing next to this way of slashing people, he will definitely complain loudly: "Are you slashing people or playing baseball?" ”
Yes, Li Shushi said that he wanted to find a little joy in the cruel war to regulate his mood, anyway, as the boss, he had a group of younger brothers to block the sword and knife for him, and there was a strong nurse Su Xiaololi behind him, so it was like several caravan trips, Li Shushi's personal guard team has not seen a single person killed in battle so far, and Su Xiaololi has contributed a lot.
Of course, Li Shushi's side is not the most spitting, the most stunned are the soldiers holding the Peng platoon. For the way the people jumped to the city, they all almost subconsciously pushed upwards and pushed the opponent out with a standard shield defense in "Lee's heavy rugby". The skillfulness of his movements and quick reaction made the Dian Wei children's shoes that were rampant in the entire rugby stadium at the beginning have a cold feeling between the two strands, which is a slight pain in the egg.
But this has changed as the Karma people continue to invest in new forces, even ordinary herders and women. After all, the number of the Qiang people is still too much, and this time the siege seems to have made a very big determination, so the number of troops invested is very large, and as time goes by, there are more and more roads on the city wall that can be controlled by the opponent to climb, which makes the numerical advantage of the Qiang people finally have a place to play.
Slowly, more and more people climbed the city wall, almost to the point of being unable to cut down, and the most troublesome thing was that several people had already taken advantage of the gap between their companions being attacked by the soldiers of Xihe County to rush to the top of the city.
This result directly released the combat effectiveness of the Qi people, who were originally unable to give full play to their individual advantages because of the siege of the city, and they took the opportunity to cut down many soldiers with Peng platoons or spears in their hands, and opened several large and small gaps in the city wall of the stone city, which was originally impermeable. As a result, the war entered the most brutal white-knuckle battle in the city.
Fortunately, the weapons of the Qiang people are really not flattering, and they are mostly wooden. The tip of the wood is often sharpened to be used as a spear, or it is simply a large thick and long wooden club, and I really don't know how they climbed to the top of the city with such a troublesome and cumbersome weapon. However, it can also be seen that they have very few iron tools in their hands.
In addition, it can be seen that they are really all hunters or herdsmen, and the clothes they wear are either animal skins or sheepskins, and they are all worn backwards, and their long hairs are all exposed, which looks quite penetrating. But what Li Shushi didn't expect was that this way of wearing actually had another effect, due to the cushioning and deflection effect brought by the thick and oily smooth and shiny fur, the lethality is often not great when slashing with a knife, and it is almost impossible to cut through the outer layer of leather clothing, and the impact force obviously cannot cause fatal damage.
This way of dressing made Li Shushi suddenly think of the fact that many Tibetans seemed to wear this way during the Tibetan rebellion in his previous life, which was a headache for the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, because unless it was shot with a bullet or stabbed with a bayonet, other knives could hardly be cut into it by chopping alone. Perhaps this is also a headache for Europeans when the Huns and Mongols were a headache.
Although the soldiers of Xihe County, who did not have much experience in fighting with the Hu people, were a little confused for a while, it was still difficult for Gao Shun and Liyi and others, who had rich experience in fighting the enemy. Since cutting the protected place of the leather coat on the body has no effect, then we still have a lot of tricks. If we can't cut the body, we can also cut off the head, cut the neck, or use the sword as the head of the spear to stab directly.
There is also a guy like Zhao Yun who is good at using his brains, although he can't fully exert his strength because he is a light cavalry and doesn't ride on a horse, but he also organizes soldiers with spears to gather together to launch small gun formations in places where there are many enemies, and cooperate with each other to effectively kill and injure the enemy. And because it can cause more local fights and less fighting, the casualties are not high.
And Li Shushi also took advantage of the protection of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others to fight against the people who climbed to the top of the city, so as to hone his combat skills. And because he secretly changed himself into dragon scale armor, Li Shushi believed that with the combination of his dragon scale armor + Taiping Technique and the help of several powerful bodyguards, his life was still very secure.
You must know that the role of the dragon scale armor is to exchange MP for the loss of HP. And no matter how big the damage is, as long as there is MP on the body, it is absolutely foolproof, just like the eggshell of the Western Illusion Mage.
As a result, it is often possible to see such a scene: a man has just fallen in front of Li Shushi, and he feels a vicious wind behind him, Li Shushi has to quickly dodge, and he hears a "woo" sound, and a gust of wind blows over his head. Li Shushi hurriedly turned around and saw a man who looked as strong as a bear standing behind him, and the man was holding a very huge wooden stick in his hand, the head of the stick was bumpy and still bleeding, and it seemed that someone had broken his hand just now.
The biggest weakness of the long weapon is that you must not let the enemy get close to your body when you are in close combat, and Li Shushi, who is holding the Heavenly Sword, knows this quite well. He immediately got up and rushed towards the warrior of the Qiangren, who seemed to be also a master, and knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Li Shushi's posture, but it was another sweep, and he immediately forced Li Shushi, who was lacking strength, to retreat.
Li Shushi bowed down with the "door panel" and was about to look for an opportunity to attack again, when he suddenly felt a flash of red light in front of him, and the head of the man flew up, and the fiery red blood sprayed out under the afterglow of the setting sun, showing off a dazzling brilliance and sprinkling Li Shushi's body. And the bear-like body fell, revealing Xu Chu's figure.
Yes, this way of using Li Shushi as bait and also giving him enough opportunities to practice his skills made Li Shushi and his guards the biggest meat grinder on the city wall, and no one of them could survive wherever they passed.
And these are just a microcosm of the battle at the head of the city, with a steady stream of soldiers and even women constantly rushing to the head of the city to engage in fierce battles with their enemies. Now there is a sticky feeling in the whole city when you step on it, and stumps and broken arms abound. This is a cruel war......
