Chapter 15 Danyang City Breaks
The wooden drawbridge finally collapsed under Zhou Kenan's continuous attack, and the brand-new bronze gate was fully exposed to the sight of the forward battalion soldiers.
The war horse galloped wildly for a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, Xuanyi took the lead, his eyes were fixed on the brass gate in front of him, and the heavy siege axe in his hand slowly circled with the gallop of the war horse.
"Break it for me!" Xuanyi dodged the sparse rain of arrows and rushed to the front of the city gate, and the war horse was strangled by the reins and neighed and stood up. Xuanyi used the horse momentum to smash the battering axe in his hand towards the city gate.
"Bang!", the city gate made an overwhelming loud noise, and the exclamations of the city guards behind the city gate could be faintly heard, and at the same time, the huge anti-shock force was transmitted back along the iron chain on the handle of the axe.
Xuanyi's right arm was slightly numb, and he consumed 50 internal force points with just one blow.
"Huhuhu!" Xuanyi brandished his battering axe again, and the terrifying sound of breaking the air roared again.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The siege axe continuously destroyed the city gate again and again, and the huge sound smashed heavily on the hearts of the soldiers at both ends of the attack and defense like a magic sound, Xuanyi gritted his teeth and tirelessly bombarded the city gate, and dozens of guards beside him held round shields to carefully block arrows shot from all directions.
"My lord, this person is too brave, and his subordinates are worried that this newly repaired brass gate will not be able to resist it!" the captain of the guard who stood on Fang Yu's side asked worriedly, "Do you need your subordinates to lead a group of brothers down to kill?"
Fang Yu looked at Xuanyi, who was closely protected by his subordinates, and muttered, due to the swiftness and suddenness of the attack of the forward battalion, the strategic materials in Danyang Town were not very sufficient, and the bed crossbows on the city wall had already run out of crossbow arrows, and only the longbows and crossbows used by some hunters could hardly kill and injure the heavily armored guards.
Just when Fang Yu was still hesitating, there was a burst of shouts and killings from the southeast city wall, and then a personal guard stumbled over and reported: "Master Commander, the thief has climbed up along the newly built low wall, and there are hundreds of people!"
"What?" Fang Yu's face changed: "The thieves are all cavalry! How can they climb the city wall several feet high in a short time? Could it be that the defenders are all furnished?"
"My lord, I'll go!" Zhang Xiao, the captain of the guard, took the initiative to ask.
Fang Yu looked up at the sky that was gradually darkening and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiao, you are now leading a team of elites to meet the thieves, if you can drive the thieves off the city wall, it is the best, even if you can't, you must hold on to me until the time of the unitary!"
Seeing Zhang Xiao hurriedly leading the order to leave, Fang Yu stood up a little irritably, the leader of the thieves in the distance was still violently bombarding the city gate, he felt that this place seemed to be no longer safe, but he didn't expect the imperial court's determination to clean up this time was so great.
There is still half an hour, no matter what, you have to hold on! Fang Yu let out a long breath and secretly made up his mind in his heart.
On the city wall to the southeast, Yang Wushu slashed down a defender who was holding his thigh with a knife, but was stabbed in the arm by another defender without paying attention. Yu Xiaoyu, who was behind him, quickly poked out a shot and pierced through the sneak attacker.
"Phew!" Yang Wudi spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed angrily: "Damn, these people have been brainwashed by traitors, and they are so not afraid of death!"
Yu Xiaoyu shook the spear, and the corpse strung on it fell down the high city wall along the barrel of the gun, he wiped his sweat and said: "Boss, there are only a few dozen brothers who have come up, and there are too many of these traitors to kill them all." ”
Yang Wushu looked at the defenders who were gradually surrounding, some of them were not even wearing armor, they were holding wooden sticks and stones and pressed towards the broken city wall.
"Xiaoyu, you take a few people to guard this gap to pick up Lao Zhou and them. Yang Wushu led some of the soldiers who climbed the city wall to kill the enemy, and Zhou Kenan under the city loudly urged his subordinates to climb along the passage "opened" by Yang Wuving, the space of this city wall was too narrow, and Yang Wuving had to fight as much as possible to create a more open space for his own troops to follow up on the city.
Yang Wushu hastily bandaged his injured arm with a piece of cloth and then stepped forward to kill the enemy, almost every blow of the steel horse chopping knife in his hand could take away several lives, and for a time Yang Wushu was like a tiger entering the flock. Most of the defenders of Danyang were local townspeople, and they did not have much experience in battle formations, and they were only supported by a fanatical "faith".
Fierce hand-to-hand combat unfolded, the defenders inflicted negligible casualties, and the men of the forward battalion showed no mercy, and they went on a killing spree, and the scene became a one-sided slaughter.
"Second brother, what's going on now?" Two swarthy heads poked out from the side of a low house not far from the place where the two armies were fighting, if Xuanyi was here, he would definitely be surprised, and the two in front of him were Meng Guangning and Sun Minbo in the "Four Demons of Jiangyin" that they met in the wild a few days ago!
The two of them were dressed in coarse cloth and short shirts, Meng Guangning was holding a hunting fork in his hand, and Sun Minbo was carrying a bow and arrow, both dressed as hunters in the town.
"Holy shit, how do I know!" Meng Guangning fiddled with the hunting fork in his hand with a depressed face: "How can I leave this ghost place!"
"Second brother, do you think we have hit a ghost!" Sun Minbo asked with some trepidation.
"Hit you big-headed ghost!" Meng Guangning turned around angrily: "Have you seen fewer dead and alive people in the past few days?"
"Hey, it would be nice if the fourth brother was here, it would be his ghost idea. Sun Minbo couldn't help but sigh.
Just when the two of them were depressed, a rush of footsteps came, and a guard in light armor seemed to shake the long whip in his hand and made a crisp explosion, he looked at Meng Sun and the two who were hiding in the corner with disdain: "Everyone is fighting bloodily to create a fair world, but you two are hiding here and fearing!"
"My father, your mother!" Sun Minbo, who was already irritable in his heart, suddenly became angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold angrily.
"You... The guards were enraged by Sun Minbo, and they glared and pulled out their waist knives and were about to step forward to teach him a lesson.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering loud bang was heard, followed by a huge cheer!
The city gate of Danyang Town was finally breached, and the city gate that had been ravaged by Xuanyi for a long time fell down heavily, and the soldiers of the forward battalion let out an excited roar, and without waiting for Xuanyi's order, the follow-up central guards and rear guard troops rushed into the open city gate under the leadership of Wei's command.
Xuanyi retreated to the side of the city gate under the strict protection of a group of guards, his arms were almost unconscious after losing his strength, and he used the physical potential of "advanced rage" to bombard the city gate violently and finally achieved his goal, and now it is a painful period for the sequelae to attack.
At this time, a master of the Inner Mansion dressed in brocade clothes rode a war horse and swayed slowly, he raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyi and said: "Congratulations to Commander Chu for breaking the city, my lord has an order: please ask Commander Chu to enter the city immediately to clear the remnants of the enemy!"
Xuanyi arched his hand and said a little weakly: "Obey!"
