Seventy-four, stubborn defense (2)

Early in the morning of the second day, the first wave of Husha's offensive began.

As soon as Hu Xia's war drums sounded, He Lu, who was in a daze in the corner of the city wall, jumped up! He didn't sleep all night last night with his eyelids on, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the enemy hit the door! Angry, he snorted and turned around to pick up an iron hammer.

He doesn't know martial arts, and the small steel crossbow used for protection is as brittle as a toothpick in this kind of fighting. Fortunately, he still has the strength to follow his father to strike iron since he was a child, so he brought a hammer from the blacksmith shop, and it was quite easy to turn it upside down in his hand. I thought that if I don't smash iron today, I will smash my head, and if I smash one to return to the capital, two will be earned!

Hu Xiajun was not in a hurry to attack, and first threw stones with a trebuchet from a hundred meters away.

When He Lu saw the huge stones flying over, he was in despair! Looking at the size of this stone, it is estimated that the city wall of Wudu will not even be able to withstand it. But after waiting for a long time, there was a "bang" behind him.

He Lu inexplicably looked back into the city, and sure enough, a large stone fell in the city, leaving a large pit a foot deep in the ground, and smashing several soldiers with it.

He Luzheng was wondering, and he heard a "whoosh" sound from above, which made him shrink his neck in fright. Another boulder flew in from the top of his head, "Boom! The ground slammed into the city, causing the walls to shake.

He Lu frowned, what kind of play is this? He squeezed away the soldiers guarding the city on the side, looked for a gap to see the catapult in the distance, and suddenly realized.

Hu Xia's catapult is indeed bigger than other countries, its throwing arm is thick and long, in order to be able to throw the stone ball higher and farther, the stone ball thrown is larger, they specially transported the cedar tree from Hu Xia for thousands of years. The rest of the catapult was made from local materials, but this one was made from the trunk of the giant sequoia tree they had brought! It's just a pity that they miscalculated, this is Wudu, not Hanyang, not Tongwancheng.

Wudu is just a small town, although there are city walls, but the height of the wall is only eight zhang, far shorter than the height of the city of Hanyang County. Using a trebuchet against Hanyang County to deal with Wudu is like splitting ants with an axe, and you can't cut it even if you are tired!

As soon as He Lu wanted to discuss with Du Wenze, he heard the soldiers next to him say that they had pushed the catapult away!

Du Wen hurriedly turned around and shouted to the soldiers with the giant wood above their heads in the wall, "It's all tight for Lao Tzu!" If you pour one, you will cut off your heads! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang", and a stone ball hit the city wall at his feet, leaving a big white spot on the wall! Although it looks very powerful, the power is not as great as the two that fell into the city. It seems that the trebuchet has pulled away, the height has been lowered, and the strength has also been reduced.

Du Wen saw it, his eyes flashed, and he slapped the wall hard, "There is a play!" He immediately commanded, "Quick! Archers ready! The trebuchets can't do it, they're going to attack hard! ”

Maybe seeing the prospect of victory, Du Wen seemed to be a different person in a blink of an eye, and the original negativity faded cleanly!

He muttered as he commanded, "Damn, could it be that it is really the manifestation of the fairy concubine?" Such evil things can happen! ”

He Lu was also a little confused when he heard him muttering, although he was convinced of Invite Yu, he always felt that she shouldn't have manifested like this......

He Lu opened his mouth to say something, but closed his mouth again. For a military general like Du Wenze, who has been on too many battlefields, when the good guys and bad guys, the good guys and the bad guys are all on the battlefield, it doesn't make sense.

Although they are also respectful to the gods and Buddhas, they all know in their hearts that when the knife is cut down, it is useless for the Buddha to bless them. On the contrary, it is their creed that "God prevents and kills God, and Buddha blocks and destroys Buddha". But now this person, the ghost sent the god to attribute the good things to Invite Yu, and it is hard to guarantee that it is not a good sign.

Sure enough, the catapult was not strong enough, and Hu Xiajun began to drive the dead camp to the city.

According to Master Meng's suggestion, everyone shot more than a dozen steamed buns with bows and arrows in front of each phalanx of death row prisoners.

As soon as the captives of Hanyang saw the steamed buns, they didn't care about the Hu Xia soldiers who drove them behind, and they all went crazy to grab the steamed buns. Hu Xiajun's front of the army suddenly fell into chaos.

The Huxia soldiers, who were originally driving away the death camp from behind, were afraid of being dealt with by military law, so they hurriedly rushed up to control the prisoners, but who would have thought that as soon as they approached the city gate, they would be met with a rain of arrows. An hour passed, and after repeating this several times to no avail, Commander Hu Xia finally gave the order to open the dead camp and attack the city directly.

Soon, Hu Xiabing hugged the city tree and rushed over under the protection of the shield hand, but when he rushed to a place half a foot away from the city gate, he threw the wood and turned his head and jumped back with a jump. He Lu's nail road looks inconspicuous, but it can still be used in a short time.

The soldiers defending the city didn't have the heart to watch them stagger, and a row of arrows rained over. The few who were originally in front were nailed to the ground at the moment.

When Hu Xiajun saw it, the drum beat changed and the formation changed. A row of black lines on the opposite side of the city rushed over, two rows of shield bearers in front of them, and knife hands in the back rushed forward with iron hooks to climb the wall! In the blink of an eye, the black line was under the city wall!

Although there are iron nails at the base of the wall, they are not so dense and not so wide after all, and it is easy to cross over. Two shield-bearers are protecting a knife-hand, and they throw hooks upwards against a rain of arrows! As long as you hook one, there will be a knife hand behind you, and you will climb up like crazy!

Du Wen was already red-eyed at this time, and kept yelling, "Shoot!" Shoot! Shoot! Shoot again! Shoot Lao Tzu to death these eight lambs! ”

He Lu followed another team of swordsmen, taking advantage of the gap in the front and rear rows of the archer team, rushed up to cut the rope of the climbing hook, and cut one by one! Look at him and get rid of his hatred!

Hu Xiajun quickly sent a far-bow and arrow array, and the rain of swords rushed towards the head of the city wall in rows to break through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the archers and swordsmen on the walls of Wudu fell to pieces! He Lu only felt a heat on his face, and one of the archers standing in front of him lay straight back. A long arrow shot through his left eye, diagonally and out of the back of his head, and with a "poof", the man's blood mixed with his brain splashed He Lu's face, dragging him down.

Before He Lu could push the corpse away, he felt that it was sinking again, and then one after another the corpses pressed up, burying him tightly.

"Swap shields!" Du Wen roared, followed by a crooked body, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. He retreated with his right leg, holding himself down and not falling, "Shieldman!" He roared and waved the command flag.

The soldiers on the city walls were well-trained, and as soon as they retreated and entered, they changed formation in a blink of an eye. A bronze pointed shield with a cloud pattern of the beast's mouth was leaning on the city wall, and after Hu Xiajun's first round of arrow rain, the archers found time to pay tribute to Hu Xiajun before the second round of arrow rain arrived.

Hu Xiajun took advantage of this round of delay in the Wudu arrow formation and mobilized two groups of men and horses to attack. This group of Hu Xia troops soon rushed to the city wall, and all the ladders they carried over were cloud ladders.

Although the middle section of the Wudu city wall was suppressed, the flanks were under the cover of the city tower, and the arrow rain did not stop. Hu Xia's soldiers in charge of building the ladder fell one by one, but they still made them stand up five. The erected ladder was immediately held up by the Huxia people, and they couldn't push it!
