Chapter 180: Attack (5)
As the commander-in-chief of the siege, Kobrhan has been closely monitoring the progress of the siege.
His fists were clenched, his expression nervous, and his heart beating violently.
When he saw his besieging soldiers, rushing towards the city one after another, his heart was naturally more nervous.
Since the first of the ten captains to climb the earthen city, the siege battle has been going on for half an hour.
A rough estimate shows that at least two or three hundred soldiers have fallen under the city.
Although the casualties of the besieging forces are relatively large, these losses are expected, and they are also predictable casualties in the simulation, although the casualty number is still increasing.
The battle in the city was fierce, although so far only the ten-captain had jumped into the city, and the rest of the rebel soldiers had not captured even an inch of the city.
Khobhan was so anxious that he wanted to storm the city in person!
Most of the rebel soldiers are still standing at the top of the ladder, fighting to the death with the defenders!
Because they were standing at the top of the ladder, the besieging troops were now relatively disadvantaged, and there were screams from the front, as well as the soldiers who fell from the city walls one by one.
All this made Cabhan hot and uneasy, the leather armor on his body had long since been undone, and his chest did not feel a trace of coldness even if it was blown by the chilly wind.
But now there is no way to capture this Shicheng, and the only way to capture this city is to fill it with the lives of these soldiers.
The battle became more and more intense, and at last, Cabhan noticed that the defenders of the city had begun to show fatigue.
The counterattack was not as fierce as before, and the city was no longer as fierce as it had been at the beginning, when the rebel soldiers showed their heads and would be killed by the defenders.
At the beginning, the siege soldiers fell like dumplings.
At this time, should we use the elite siege troops given by Brother Deb.
Compham hesitated, and couldn't help but look back at Deb. Just in time, Deb also looked at him with an anxious face.
Deb clenched his fist with one hand and made a smashing gesture!
Naturally, Korbrhan understood the meaning of this gesture and did not hesitate. Raise your left hand and wave it at one of the troops standing still on the left.
"Siege vanguard!
That army consisted of dozens of people, and the armor and weapons on their bodies were very sophisticated, and even their stature was taller than the average steppe soldier.
These were the guards of the tribal chiefs who had defected, and Deb had turned them into an elite siege force in the hope that they would play a decisive role in the most critical moments.
After receiving the order from Korbhan, this force ran quickly towards the earthen city.
These fellows were already impatient, and they had seen someone jump into the city before, but they knew how heavy the reward was!
These guards are naturally different from ordinary soldiers, each of them is an outstanding warrior in the clan, otherwise how could they be used as guards by their own patriarch.
Most of these guys have the strength of second- and third-level martial artists, and if they are put into ordinary troops, they must at least be appointed as ten-necked or centurions.
The speed of these elite siege troops was really unusual, and they had already run under the earth city in just a moment.
The battle on the head of the city was fierce to the point of white-hot, and even Chu Chongshan began to wave the knife in his hand.
Cutting down a rebel soldier who poked his upper body into the city, Chu Chongshan saw that the rebels were moving again, but the troops that came were not as many as he imagined, and there were only a few dozen people.
His own side has been showing weakness, with his own understanding of the steppe people's military strategy. At this time, those rebel commanders should send a large force again, but there are only a few dozen people here.
But when Shigeyama saw the speed of these people's running, his heart was clear.
These people who came were very strong, and it seems that these steppe people also know elite tactics. Thinking that these dozens of people should be highly skilled elite troops, then let them have no return.
As soon as these elite siege troops rushed to the bottom of the earthen city, they snatched the climbing position that had been observed earlier.
The rebel soldiers who were robbed of their positions naturally didn't do it, and they were just about to step forward to fight again, but after seeing the clothes of these people, they had to scold a few words in their hearts, mother, but they had to give up those advantageous positions.
These elite rebel troops took the lead and quickly crawled towards the city one by one.
The rebel soldiers and defenders at the head of the city were still fighting, and under Chu Chongshan's intention, these rebel soldiers could support the top of the ladder for at least a while before they were killed and injured by the defenders and fell to the ground.
Since they can hold up at the top for a while, this is a long ladder that is already full of people on the top.
The rebels standing at the top of the ladder could not enter the city, and could not dodge the retreat, so they had to desperately wave their weapons to block the attacks of the defenders.
The rebel soldiers below couldn't see the situation on the top of the city, and kept shouting, telling the people above to rush up quickly, so as not to delay the meritorious service of the people below!
The rebel soldiers, who stood at the top of the ladder, could only be killed by the defenders and fall down in the end, wailing.
Chu Chongshan took a gap, flew up to an unmanned battlement, and looked down, only to see that the front city wall was already densely covered with rebel soldiers.
He was just about to jump down when he suddenly felt a cold wind reaching his body, and a flying arrow shot at him.
It turned out to be the commander of the wolf tooth army under the city, and when he saw the city wall, a soldier defending the city suddenly appeared, and hurriedly bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Chu Chongshan.
The leader of the Wolf Tooth Army, and a well-known archer among the Kayan tribe, ordered Deb to take command of the Wolf Tooth Army after Volhan was seriously wounded in the foot.
So as soon as Chu Chongshan appeared, he was targeted by the commander of the Wolf Tooth Army.
The arrow was fast and urgent, like a meteor.
And Chu Chongshan was unprepared, seeing this arrow, he couldn't dodge it!
Suddenly a flash of sword light flashed beside him, and someone slashed the feather arrow to the ground.
Chu Chongshan broke out in a cold sweat, and when he looked back, Ye Nineteen was standing beside him.
"Thanks, brother!"
"Brother Chu, when will I be able to make a move?"
"When I need you to make a move, my brother will definitely not be polite!
"This, but the third uncle is already fighting, are you going to let me watch here all the time?"
"Brother, don't worry, my brother will let you have a good time in a while!"
This is the entrance of this battlement, and a rebel soldier climbed up, when he saw Chu Chongshan with his back to him, his heart was overjoyed, and the scimitar in his hand slashed down!
Chu Chongshan heard the sound of the wind behind him, and kicked out reflexively, kicking it on the chest of the rebel, and the rebel screamed in his mouth, and was kicked out and fell straight to the city.
With the height of the earth city, even if this rebel soldier could not fall to his death, he would have to fall seriously and be injured.
Kunsang's heart was not so anxious at this time, because he saw that Chu Chongshan and these people had been taking risks in person above the city, and he believed that these Central Plains people really wanted to help him. And from the tacit understanding of Chu Chongshan's subordinates, he found that these people seemed to be well-trained, and they were definitely not the caravan guards he had seen.
The section of the city wall that Chu Chongshan's subordinates were responsible for defending never appeared to be too critical, and he found that the killing efficiency of those people was extremely efficient.
He finally believed it now that Chu Chongshan and these people were indeed veterans who had retreated from the imperial army.
In the midst of the battle, blood splattered everywhere, severed limbs and severed arms, scattered everywhere.
The terrible screams were even more chilling.
And from beginning to end, he never saw any big fluctuations in the expressions on the faces of Chu Chongshan's subordinates.
He saw that those subordinates of Chu Chongshan were like killing machines, harvesting one human life after another at high speed and effectively. Even when they were injured, there was no painful expression on their faces.
This kind of performance can only show that Chu Chongshan and these people are either cold-blooded and ruthless, cruel and murderous! Or they are accustomed to seeing life and death, and they have long regarded this kind of life-and-death struggle as commonplace!
With such people to help themselves, what is there to worry about?
And up to now, the powerful city-defying equipment that Chu Chongshan ordered people to make has not been used.
You know, after seeing those terrifying-looking and powerful defense equipment, even Kunsang felt sorry for those rebel soldiers.
If you are hit by such a city defense device, I am afraid that there will not even be a corpse, only a mess of rotten meat.
At this time, Chu Chongshan shouted to Kunsang: "Uncle Kunsang! Let the girls of the rear army prepare the boiling water! Ready to call at any time!"
"Those anxious girls have been ready a long time ago, if I hadn't stopped them, they would have sent them a long time ago!"
"Great! But don't let these girls go up to town, it's a little too bloody here!, please Uncle Kunsang, command the reserves to bring that boiling water!"
At this moment, I suddenly heard a scream from the east side of the city.
Looking for the sound, I saw that there were people on their backs!
Several of the defenders of the city had already been cut down to the ground, and there were already rebel soldiers standing on top of the city, ready to jump off the walls!
It turned out to be the elite attacking force prepared by Kobrhan who climbed up.
Guarding there were just ordinary soldiers, and the previous great battles had already caused them to be physically exhausted.
These elite troops are also some highly skilled guards, so as soon as these highly skilled guards climb up, don't use their martial arts skills to cut down several soldiers defending the city.
Even though they had jumped from the top of the ladder to the top of the wall, the guys were standing at the top of the city, ready to jump down in order to occupy this section of the wall, so that more companions could climb up!
Before these guys could jump down, several knife lights flashed in the air, only to see those guys covering their throats, opening their eyes, and falling backwards!
Chen Shao'an whistled loudly, raised the flying knife in his hand, and scolded loudly: "Rabbit cub! With Lao Tzu here, don't want to set foot in the city for half a step!"
With a shake of his hand, another rebel soldier who climbed up half of his body fell down.
Several defenders beside him couldn't help but cheer when they saw his flying knife stunt!
Chen Shaoan was even more proud, laughed, and then ran to another more dangerous place.
The defenders of several cities quickly filled the gap, and for a while the city fell into a stalemate.
