Chapter 269: Siege (1)

A night rain, the scene was muddy and clean.

Mud and clean are not contradictory. If the ground wasn't muddy, so many people and horses would have stepped on it, and it would have been dusty and difficult to see.

Because of this rain, the view is particularly refreshing.

By this time the rain had stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of earth. The entire forest to the west was cut down cleanly, and when the west wind rose, the fragrance of sawdust mixed with the smell of metal rust collided with the tip of the moon's nose.

The other side has put up a battle. Two black circles of three thousand people filled the large barren winter fields outside the city wall, and the other three circle formations were falling loosely behind, occupying the scorched earth burned by the dragon master's fire oil. Like a few steel gears, when turning, those huge siege machines were transported from back to front, and from a distance, Bang Yue had the illusion that it was not an army, but a sophisticated steel machine.

How can flesh and blood stop it!?

The enemy army at the front was already standing under the city wall, and from the place where Bang Yue was standing, the field of vision was partially blocked by the city wall, and it could only be judged by the "gap" in the circle array, and there were about 200 people blocked by the city wall. Ladders and siege engines made their way through the enemy's formation steadily and quickly, and came to the bottom of the city walls.

Bang Yue found that her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling.

She couldn't help but look at Lin Shaoge.

I saw that he was holding a four-color flag in his left hand, and a red flag was held up in his right hand, which stretched out diagonally outside the watchtower, and was blown by the wind to hunt.

His hand was extremely steady, and there was not the slightest hint of trembling.

……

Shi Xiang stood on the high tower next to the city wall, looked at the enemy army less than twenty zhang away from him, and said that it was a lie not to be nervous.

He wears an oddly shaped mask and is covered with full iron armor to protect him from being shot by a bow and arrow.

Seeing the enemy set up a ladder, ready to storm the city gate...... The small red flag in his hand trembled slightly.

For the first time, he found that Ling Qi was so heavy.

Originally, he shouldn't have paid attention to the outside of the city walls at this moment, because his duty was to faithfully respond to the commander's orders. But he couldn't help but spread half of his eyes, constantly scanning the movements of the enemy outside.

"The Prince...... It's time to order...... It's time to give the order......" Shi Xiang's lips trembled a little as he hid under the iron mask.

Shi Xiang knew what kind of strength such an army had. It's definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. A well-trained, truly battle-driven army is terrifying, and as soon as it moves, the people inside are no longer human, but an integral part of this behemoth, which can swallow the sky and the earth with its mouth open.

If Shi Xiang was in his own team, he would definitely not have given birth to these shameful fears at this moment. But his task today is to be a standard-bearer at the front line.

Although tens of millions of people have gone to ...... Thinking about the past is full of pride, and in the face of such a situation, it is extremely difficult to stand on its feet and carry the flag in its hand.

He took out half of his eyes and looked under the tower. The black-haired and white-hoofed steed also sensed the danger, and was now uneasily digging through the wet mud. He breathed a sigh of relief, and silently rehearsed in his heart—waving the flag, he slid quickly along the tower pillar to the ground, mounted his horse and retreated back to the army.

However, when the siege ladders were all erected, the siege vehicles loaded with giant trees had begun to charge, and the first batch of enemy troops who had climbed the city wall had faintly raised their heads and the sound of killing shook the sky, Lin Shaoge in the distance was still motionless, and the red flag was still standing steadily.

"Son...... The boss ......" Shi Xiang's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, "It's time to do it...... What time do you have to wait......"

Although his hands trembled badly, he didn't have the slightest intention of abandoning the flag and running away.

The ground began to tremble faintly, and Shi Xiang knew that it was a siege vehicle that had run over the ground, and he heard the screeching sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground. The huge log, wrapped in a heavy iron head, would soon crash into the city gates—and the other side was too uplifting the two wooden doors to show the resistance they expected. They must be amazed to find that after striking the door, they will not be able to stop at all, and will be carried by the impact, staggering into the city, and then looking ignorant.

The image in Shi Xiang's mind came true in the next moment. I only heard a not very strong and loud "boom ~ pop" sound, and the two wooden doors were torn into wooden blocks of different sizes by the impact, and flew backwards, and the siege column protruded into the city gate in an extremely indecent posture. At this moment, Shi Xiang unexpectedly generated a rather unspeakable picture in his mind.

Fortunately, his eyes, which were staring into the distance for a moment, finally waited for the long-awaited wave.

Lin Shaoge has fallen the flag!

Almost at the same moment, the red flag in Shi Xiang's hand also waved downward-

Perfectly synchronized!

He slid down the tower in a posture that he had practiced a hundred and eighty times, mounted his horse and galloped backwards, and behind him, a column of horsemen lit the long fuse on the ground, mounted his horse, and rushed back at any time.

A large net gradually rose from the ground. One was firmly tied to each horse, and the other stretched faintly below the walls.

At this time, the enemy team had already climbed the city wall, and Shi Xiang couldn't help but lie down on his horse and look back.

At this glance, I saw the enemy soldier with a heroic expression of looking at death, and after climbing the wall with a sword held high, he saw that the city wall was empty, and instantly became at a loss.

The other party obviously didn't think about it, after climbing the city wall, if there were no ambushes on the city wall, and there was no downward passage to the city after occupying the city wall, what should be done at this time? While they were in a daze, the people behind them had already continued to squeeze upwards - climbing the walls, and the rewards were handsome.

The general of the circle to the south was obviously a little uncontrollable, ignoring the silence of the commander, letting his army formation press forward again, and even acquiescing to the shield soldiers at the front to climb the ladder.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and under the drive of the southern military formation, the northern formation also began to loosen, and soldiers climbed to the city wall one after another—in fact, everyone here did not want to see the so-called commander who hid his head and tail. They obey only the orders of their masters.

Although the yellow flag was waved in the camp behind them to retreat, since the military masters in their own formation turned a blind eye, the soldiers naturally turned a blind eye.

Everything else is false, and the twenty taels of silver that climbed the city wall are real! If you don't take this money, someone else will take it.

Everyone is squeezing up the ladder, like dense black ants, blocked badly. The people behind couldn't see the scene ahead, so they could only shout and kill while struggling to push the people in front.

Although he was a little afraid of the hand-to-hand combat he might face on the city wall, he was crowded with people, and the people in front of him were his own people, and this little fear disappeared, and the more he couldn't squeeze in, the more he thought that something good was waiting for him in front of him.
