Chapter 265: Offensive and Defensive Battle (Subscription Requested)
"Boom, boom......"
"Tuk Tuk ......"
With the muffled sound of the city gate slamming, a compact rain of arrows fell on the wall in waves, suppressing the defenders on the wall.
A series of lasso-style steel rope soft ladders were thrown out of the black pressure of the Northern Barbarian army, with a jaw-dropping precision, accurately set on the arrow stacks at the head of the city, and a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers climbed quickly along the soft ladder to the head of the city.
The 2,000 soldiers at the head of the city braved the rain of arrows, and while shooting arrows to return fire, they picked up rolling stones and sassal logs and threw them at the northern barbarian soldiers who climbed up the soft ladder.
A river of blood!
A real river of blood!
Up and down the city, it's all there!
......
Zhang Chu grabbed a man who was shot in the chest and planted an arrow in his chest.
This man is still a young man, and there is still a little childishness between his eyebrows.
Look at the age, but just reach the crown.
He shook Zhang Chu's hand hard, and his young face was full of horror.
He spoke, a large patch of red blood coming out of his mouth, "Great, my lord, I, will I die?"
Zhang Chu silently glanced at the location of his arrow and the depth of his flesh, and his face did not change, and he slowed down and said softly: "Don't be afraid, small injury, the medical officer will come soon, he will heal you." ”
"I just saw it, you killed a Northern Barbarian with a stone, you will take a lot of money back, marry a good-looking aunt, and buy a few acres of land, so that your father and mother can live a good life......"
His voice was as soft as a murmur.
The young man seemed to see the bright future depicted by Zhang Chu, and his dilated pupils floated with a longing light.
And then it gradually lost its light......
Zhang Chu raised his bloody hand and gently closed his eyes that still had a residual longing.
He relied on reading a lot and fooled many people.
But I've never felt so guilty as this time.
He put down the lifeless young body in his hand expressionlessly, got up and stared at the dazzling silver-white in the Northern Barbarian army under the city.
The casualties were heavy, but the defenders on the walls were able to withstand it.
The premise is that you can't let the white wolf northern barbarian climb to the top of the city.
If he goes up to the city, all things will be over!
"Your Excellency!"
Jiao Shan, who was covered in blood, ran to his side and shouted with a crying voice: "Reinforcements, the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it!"
Zhang Chu glanced at him and said lightly: "For another half an hour, I will withdraw you and go down to repair!"
His quiet countenance, like a sculpture, and his eyes without the slightest wave, were in stark contrast to the sound of shouting and killing, wailing, and the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air.
Jiao Shan forcibly swallowed the rest of the words, gritted his teeth, turned around and brandished the broadsword with a curly blade to pounce on the Northern Barbarian soldiers who jumped on the city again.
"Brothers, we can go down and repair in half an hour!"
He roared like a mad tiger in the sky.
When the defenders of the city, who had already shown weakness, heard this, they forcibly mustered up their spirits and continued to fight.
At this time, the Northern Barbarian soldiers who climbed up the city wall along the soft ladder were mainly ordinary people, and there were only a few sporadic martial artists, so it was not a matter of concern.
Obviously, even if the martial artist is in the Northern Barbarian army, he is not a cabbage that can be consumed at will.
Zhang Chu sat in the city tower, constantly dispatching troops according to the situation of the entire defense line on the city wall, maintaining the defense line from being breached, and occasionally killing the martial artists who jumped on the wall.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chu mobilized a thousand Xiang troops and a thousand White Tiger Tang brothers to take over the defense line of the East City Gate.
When Jiao Shan's men and horses went down the city wall, there were only more than 1,000 people left.
I can't even make up the whole number of 1,100 people.
In just over an hour, more than 600 people were folded.
"Master Chu!"
A familiar voice was heard.
As soon as Zhang Chu turned around, he saw a big golden tooth that was shining.
He frowned, grabbed the collar of the visitor and pulled him over, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing when you come up, go back, guard my godson!"
"Hahaha, how do you know it's your son? I'm here to give you good news!"
Li Zheng bared his teeth, happy to see his eyebrows.
Zhang Chu smiled.
This is indeed a great joy.
But in front of him, he couldn't be happy.
"Let's go back after reporting the good news, Hua Gu just gave birth to a child, and both of them need you to take care of them!"
"What's that?"
Li Zheng stiffened his neck, "The children have been born, how can I let you fight with the Northern Barbarians alone on top?"
Zhang Chu still wanted to speak, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the defense line on the right side was a little unstable, so the words changed when he came to his mouth: "Go to the right side to supervise the battle!"
"Yes!"
Li Zheng answered, dragging his door panel knife and running to the right.
Zhang Chu's gaze fell on the city again.
The Northern Barbarian army has been attacking the city for more than an hour, and it has also shown fatigue.
In this hour or so, his men were broken by six hundred.
And the casualties of the Northern Barbarians are only larger than the casualties of his men!
After all, the Jintianfu City Guards occupy a favorable position, and the twelve-zhang high city wall is thirty-five or six meters high, even if an egg is thrown down, it can kill people, not to mention that they throw down dozens of pounds of rolling stones and one or two hundred pounds of sandalwood.
His six hundred people have at least one or two thousand fierce horsemen from the Northern Barbarians!
However, according to Zhang Chu's observation, although the casualties of the Northern Barbarians were large, their momentum did not decline, but the cavalry generals who led the army became more cautious and refused to command the army to swarm under the city wall to give them a chance to gather fire.
It is worthy of being a fierce nation in the north of Xinjiang that has been stumbling at Yongming Pass for decades!
The ruthlessness and tenacity in their bones far surpass all the officers and soldiers of the Great Departure that Zhang Chu has seen!
But what's the point of them continuing to persevere?
The city gate of Jintianfu is made of a one-foot-thick hundred-forged fine iron plate wrapped in ironwood, and even if the qi sea master blows with all his strength, it may not be able to break open...... Besides, it was impossible for Zhang Chu to give that white wolf northern barbarian a chance to get close to the city gate.
The city gate cannot be broken, and the soft ladder cannot win the defenders when climbing the city......
Zhang Chu was vigilant, grabbed a large skin shield again to protect the front door, and leaned his upper body out of the arrow stack to carefully look at the Northern Barbarian army under the city.
But he glanced around and found nothing unusual.
Just when he was muttering in his heart what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this Northern Barbarian, his eyes inadvertently glimpsed that a Northern Barbarian soldier who was climbing the city along the soft ladder suddenly flew backwards, avoiding a falling rolling stone, and then in the process of falling, he grabbed the soft ladder and continued to climb up flexibly.
This is not an ordinary soldier's skill!
Zhang Chu's heart sank, and he thought of something in an instant.
He immediately turned his head to look at the other Northern Barbarian soldiers who were climbing the wall, and immediately found that many of the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were climbing the wall were dodging the rolling stones and sassalwood with a skill that ordinary soldiers did not have.
He even saw a bear-like burly Northern Barbarian soldier smash a rolling stone the size of a human head with a single punch.
This is......
"Fire Attack!"
He burst into tears.
