The pools of blood and scraps of flesh on the city wall made those old soldiers who had never seen blood frightened in their hearts, and many people couldn't help but vomit when they looked at the pieces of internal organs that were still wriggling, but Shangguan Honglie was still just frowning, very calm, and the sergeants in his hands were like carved out of a mold with him, and their faces did not change in the face of death that could befall them at any time, like cold machinery.

Shangguan Honglie's deputy general Xu Tao ordered all the sergeants to hide behind the battlement, try to avoid the attack of the flying stones, and not to fight back for the time being. ”

The engineer troops quickly carried the pontoon bridge to the moat, quickly erected the pontoon bridge, and then set up a ladder to rush to the city wall, until this time, the defenders of Helin City were still hiding behind the battlements and did not dare to show their heads, Aguli smiled and pulled out his scimitar, and the blade pointed directly at Helin City: "Wolf cubs, kill me!" The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with thousands of gold and sealed ten thousand households! ”

"Kill!"

With an earth-shattering shout of killing, tens of thousands of Xuanyi Xuanjia Youquan warriors pounced on Helin City like hungry beasts, Aguli put away his scimitar and sat on the back of his horse with his arms crossed, he had already begun to calculate how many young and beautiful Yunyan Country Mothers he would capture after capturing Helin City.

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, if you don't order a counterattack, I'm afraid we won't even have the opportunity to write a suicide note! ”

Zhang Chenghong trembled while wiping the cold sweat on his head, and everyone around him also nodded and drank, less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, the number of defenders killed had exceeded 2,000, and there were more than 3,000 wounded.

Shangguan Honglie shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

"What, wait?!"

All the generals have the heart to strangle him, if it weren't for the fact that he was the sixth prince, people would have to suspect that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and deliberately wanted to give up Helin City to the Youquan Army.

The distance of more than 100 zhang was almost instantaneous under the full charge, and without encountering any resistance, they rushed across the moat and came to the city wall, the morale of the Youquan army was greatly boosted, and the ladder was quickly erected, and the infantry all had a hideous smile on their faces, roaring and climbing up quickly, and the temptation of ten thousand households was too great.

At this moment, Shangguan Honglie finally raised his head slightly and said lightly: "Fight back." ”

The tone was so flat that it seemed like saying that he was going to eat fried noodles tonight, and the deputy general Xu Tao got up after hearing this, and shouted: "Start fighting back, throw the rolling stones!" ”

Although the stones used by the defenders of Helin are several times smaller than the boulders thrown by the Youquan army, the Youquan army is scrambling to climb up one by one, there are at least seven or eight people or even more on a cloud ladder, and a stone can go down, at least four or five can be smashed, and when it lands, it can often piggyback on a headshot or something, so the damage caused is greater than that of the Youquan legion's trebuchet.

Generally speaking, Shangguan Honglie's tactics and strategies are extremely undesirable, blindly hiding in the face of the enemy's attack, which is extremely demoralizing, but fortunately, the soldiers in his hands are not only well-trained, but also have seen blood on the battlefield, and they have a superstitious worship of Shangguan Honglie, blindly believing that with Shangguan Honglie's presence, he will not lose, so his morale has not suffered too much blow.

And Shangguan Honglie is forced to do this, the enemy's trebuchet is too sharp, and the long-range weapons of the other side cannot compete with it at all, and a rash counterattack can only attract a devastating blow, although the other party cannot prepare enough boulders to completely annihilate the defenders of Helin City, but he does not want to use the lives of his subordinates to consume the opponent's stone lumps.

At this moment, the opponent's people have rushed to the city wall, if they continue to throw stones, they will also bring huge damage to the soldiers at the same time, and the Youquan Army will definitely give up the long-range strike, at least the attack of the trebuchet, and the long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and ballistas have a limited range, plus the upward shot, the range will be affected somewhat, so the enemy can no longer be suppressed with long-range weapons, and in hand-to-hand combat, it is more courageous, more bloody, and not afraid of death.

"Archer, prepare!"

Three thousand bows and arrows after the bow like a full moon, with the deputy general Xu Tao ordered, three thousand wolf teeth sharp arrows with a sharp whistling flew towards the enemy formation, and then the second team of archers also pulled their bows and fired a volley, there seemed to be a steel rain under the city wall, one after another wails and the non-stop blood flowers, so that Aguli was angry, originally thought that the defenders of Helin had been frightened, who would have thought that the other party's instant counterattack was so sharp.

"Shieldmen, array, forward!"

The shield soldiers of the Youquan Army held a four-foot-high tower shield to slowly advance the follow-up siege infantry in the protective array, and the arrows hit the shield with a sharp metal impact sound, which made people shudder, although they still occasionally caused some damage to the Youquan Army through the gap between the shields, but it was much better than just now.

Seeing that the tactics were working, Aguli sneered and said, "Go out with all your troops, and take Helin City for me before noon!" ”

River Forest City, above the city walls.

Zhang Chenghong and the other former guards saw the Youquan Army pouring out of the nest and pressing towards Helin City like a dark cloud, and their faces turned green: "Wang...... The prince ......"

Shangguan Honglie waved his hand like a fly, and called coldly: "Xu Tao." ”

"The last general!" Xu Tao stepped forward with his fists clenched.

"Prepare your horses, attack!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chenghong was so frightened that he squatted on the ground: "Lord Wang, you ...... You don't want to go out of the city to meet the enemy, do you? ”

Shangguan Honglie didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked straight down the city wall, put on his signature golden dragon battle armor with the assistance of a partial general, put a thick-backed short knife on his waist, and took a long-handled war knife, raised his sword and jumped on his horse, and shouted to the heavily armored cavalry that had just been assembled: "Crazy dragon hussar!" ”

10,000 golden-armored cavalry let out an earth-shattering roar: "Invincible!" ”

Zhang Chenghong chased after him: "Lord, I can't help it!" ”

Xu Tao shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

The corpses of the Youquan army under the city wall have been piled up in a thick layer, in less than half an hour, the Youquan army has lost 15,000 troops, but they don't even see the faces of the defenders clearly, and there is no one who can climb the city wall, the defenders suppressed the attack of the Youquan army with rolling stones and bows and arrows alone, Aguli became more and more annoyed, but he regretted it a little, the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the defenders of Helin City were by no means comparable to the defenders of the two cities before, and they knew that they should wait for the arrival of the Holy Son's soldiers and horses before attacking the city with superior forces.
