Chapter 104: The Fierce Battle at the Head of the City (New Book for Collection, Recommendation)
The barbarian army in pale yellow clothes, as if he didn't hear the shouts of friendly soldiers, continued to advance with his waist bent, after all, they are different tribes, who would be willing to give up their shields to others?
"Archer, prepare to release your arrows..."
It was another round of arrow rain, shooting at the barbarians wearing purple robes and carrying the ladder.
This can make them miserable, because they can't free their hands for defense, like live targets, let the defenders play freely, and more and more ladder-carrying brutes fall down, and can no longer stand up.
The defenders had an advantage over the besieging side, they stood tall and shot far, and the barbarians were able to barely get into the range where they could return fire after several rounds of arrows.
The senior general of the barbarian clan who rushed to the front, the armor on his body was already full of arrows, but because of the thickness of the armor, this general did not suffer too much substantial damage, and watched the warriors of his own clan around him continue to fall, and couldn't help shouting angrily:
"Marksman...... Counterattack...... Fight Back"
The barbarians are different from the Anning people, many of them are just able to walk to learn archery, so the barbarians' archery book as a whole is much higher than the Anning people, and the strength is infinite, often use a strong bow of more than two stones, accurate and ruthless, Anning's soldiers as long as they show their heads a little will inevitably die in the brain, even if they are wearing thin armor, they will be shot a hole at once.
The archers of Qulan Town resolutely carried out Fang Zitai's orders, and the archers who faced the barbarians fighting back ignored them, and still shot the arrows in their hands at the barbarians in purple robes.
In the end, at the cost of the lives of sixty or seventy archers, the red-robed barbarians finally stopped their footsteps, because the Ritchie barbarians suddenly found that the arrows on the city tower were only aimed at their own people, and they couldn't help but wonder if there was some conspiracy inside.
Trust is like a mirror, once it breaks and there is a gap, it can never return to its original state, and some people began to throw down the ladder in their hands and run in the opposite direction of Qulan Town.
"Don't run away, rush for me"
No matter how the generals of the other tribes shouted, suspicion spread like a plague among the Richie barbarians, and more and more people threw down the ladder and retreated, until at last no one carried the ladder forward.
"Richmond warriors, don't retreat, you're about to get to the city, hold on a little longer"
The barbarians of the Richie tribe, led by their chieftain, finally withdrew from the battlefield.
"Do you think that our warriors are stupid donkeys? The same siege, why don't the bows and crossbows of the Anning people shoot at other barbarians, there must be ghosts in this, we won't fight this battle"
Richie ran back, muttering incessantly.
"Sons, when we withdraw our troops, we must be in collusion with the cunning Anning people, who want to deliberately consume the strength of our clan, and then seize our territory, we will not fight"
The barbarian king of the Richie tribe thought that he had seen through the tricks of the young barbarians, and immediately gave the order to withdraw the whole army.
"Yes, go back, go back!"
The barbarian armies of the other tribes had no choice but to turn back and re-raise the ladder if they wanted to attack the city, which freed up time for the border troops on the tower, and they could finally concentrate on dealing with the barbarian archers.
Don't underestimate this back and forth, instantaneous changes can affect the situation of the entire battlefield, the barbarians who turned back lost the protection of their shields, and in the blink of an eye, they left hundreds of corpses of barbarians in various costumes under the city of Qulan Town.
The distance of dozens of meters is like a moat, the barbarians move forward step by step, and finally push the ladder to the bottom of the city, the barbarians raise the shield escalator in pairs, and the first team jumps up with the shield, agile as an ape, and climbs upstairs one after another.
However, the first team had only climbed halfway to find that the huge rolling stone had fallen from the top to the top, and in a moment, the brute soldier's head was shattered, his brain was broken, and he fell back to the ground.
Some resolute and resolute people, at the cost of breaking their legs, jumped directly from the ladder, even if a few people were lucky enough to climb the city wall, they would immediately be cut off by the many guards who were waiting for them.
Both sides were red-eyed, fighting back and forth for a vantage point at the head of the city, and most of the barbarians were not afraid of death, even if their arms were cut off, they would not retreat until they were killed to the last breath.
Seeing that the battle had entered a scorching state, Pullaki called a column of "dead soldiers" and whispered a few words, and the "dead soldiers" gladly accepted the order.
The so-called "dead soldiers" were naturally outlaws, and when they entered the city, they screamed and pounced on the defenders ten times their size in a suicidal attack, stirring up waves of blood.
Their existence is to open the battle for the brute soldiers behind, and to fight is to die, their lives are like lit sparks, there is no retreat, no hesitation, only death, although they exist for a short time, but they contain more guards for the barbarians behind.
Seeing that there were more and more barbarian soldiers rushing up, there were more than a hundred, Fang Zitai immediately organized the guards on the city to charge, trying to strangle all the barbarians who had climbed the city tower and regain the initiative on the battlefield.
The barbarians are naturally not to be outdone, and in one-on-one fighting, the Anning guards cannot be the opponent of the barbarians at all, but now the guards of Qulan Town dare not retreat, because as long as they take a step back, the barbarian army will press one step until the city is broken, and all the people of Qulan Town will be slaughtered at that time.
The battle of the trapped beasts, although dead is still alive.
Most of the guards of Qulan Town are from the local area, in the face of the destruction of the city and the separation of their wives, all the soldiers have stimulated the infinite potential in their bodies, and the combat power that broke out for a while made this group of ferocious barbarians also feel a little afraid, and the two sides are fighting together, and the blood under their feet is red, all dyed with blood from both sides.
At some point, the young and strong people in Qulan Town also rushed to the city, wielding hoes, sickles and other farm tools to fight with the barbarian soldiers.
Looking at the two sides fighting in a mess at the head of the city, Fang Zitai frowned, the combat effectiveness of the Anning defenders was obviously inferior to the enemy, the more and more the barbarians killed, and if it continued like this, if it didn't wait for the arrival of reinforcements, the city would be broken.
"No, in such a scuffle, everyone will have to die in the end......"
Fang Zitai gritted his teeth, fought hard, and came back to life.
"The guards of the first and second detachments listened to my orders and spread out to both sides."
The border troops defending the city were stunned when they heard this strange order, and the military order was like a mountain, and they had no time to think about it, and the guards all entered the defensive state from the offensive state, and scattered in all directions.
The barbarians who rushed up to the castle tower were also confused, and then they were overjoyed, thinking that the peaceful guards were ready to flee, and they had fierce faces and slashed with sharp blades, but it was the third detachment that was ready to meet the barbarians, the crossbow team.
A storm of crossbow arrows instantly smashed the unsuspecting brute into a sieve, and the blood stained the entire wall red.
