Volume 1 Chapter 252 The battle to capture the city in the middle of the night

Li Xuanba pulled down his helmet and wiped the sweat from his face. "It's okay, I shot maybe six or seven rebels, but there are too many, I'm afraid it's really as you guessed, brother, it's just a suspicious soldier over there, and this is their main attack."

At this time, Liu Hongji also rushed into the city tower, and as soon as he rushed in, he heard a few snapping sounds, and he could see several arrows on the muddy ground inside the city tower.

"Grandma's, the enemy who came here is definitely the main force." After Liu Hongji rushed in, he took the kettle handed by his own soldiers, poured a few big sips, and said loudly.

"By the way, did you send someone to ask for help?" I hurriedly asked. "The rebels attacked at night, and they must want to capture Luoyang in one go, so there will definitely be no fewer rebels coming."

"I let Shi Dao and Brother Mao Yue rush over as soon as possible. Now that a quarter of an hour has passed, I believe they should have seen the general. Liu Hongji had several feather arrows stuck in his body, but fortunately, they were all inserted in the cracks of the armor, and this guy replied while pulling out the arrows.

"That's good, by the way, how is the sailor over there in Luoshui? Did you make a sortie? "I'm most worried about the Luoshui area, if the rebels enter the city against the water at night, and then pounce on the city gate, it will be a big deal, our troops are already insufficient.

"It's already dispatched, it's really dangerous, I'm just on the side close to Luoshui, there are already hundreds of rebels about to climb ashore, fortunately, the sailor found out and killed them, only a few dozen people ran, Chai Shaoxian's brother has already brought people over. It is believed that they can't make big waves. ”

At this time, Zheng Chen appeared at the door holding a pair of Mingguang armor: "Childe, take it off quickly, put this on." ”

"Okay" I'm not welcome, well, for the sake of life safety, as long as it is on the battlefield in the future, this son will not take off this thing if he is killed, even if it is a sinking point, at least the safety of life is guaranteed, otherwise, if this son is hit by a stray arrow on the battlefield, he may die young.

Li Yuanfang, who had been waiting by my side, also hurriedly put on my armor, and the broken thoughts were still in his mouth. "Childe, I'm a little one, please, don't get too close to the city wall for a while, if something really happens, the little one can't afford it."

After putting on the heavy bright light armor, this son secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, everyone hurry out of the town, don't let the rebels have a chance to rush up."

"Let's go" Liu Hongji raised his hand row first, that is, the small round shield rushed out of the lun, and then Li Xuanba also rushed out of the lun, and Li Yaoguang walked a few steps, turned his head and looked at me steadily, and whispered: "Be careful, take care of yourself." ”

"Thank you, you have to take care of yourself......" Before I finished speaking, Li Yaoguang had already put down his face protection and rushed out of the city tower. Seeing her figure, I couldn't help but smile, I don't know why, just a short moment, it seems that the relationship between me and her, or the distance, is much closer.

Ben Gongzi also did the same, and put down the face shield on the helmet, which is an iron plate. However, it was cast in the shape of a hideous beast's head, with its nose bulging outwards and two holes dug out of its eyes. Although it has some impact on the line of sight, however, it allows the face to be protected, and this son's left hand is still holding a round shield, and just a few steps away, he felt that the shield seemed to hit something, and made a snatching sound into the wood, which seemed to be an arrow.

"Fuck, who is so unmeritorious, throwing his heart to the sky." As an outstanding young man in the 21st century, while complaining, under the cover of Zheng Chen and Li Yuanfang, I rushed to the defense area where my troops were located.

Here, about fifty zhang long, the thousand-part trilogy under my command needs to defend this section, and not let the damned rebels down there. With Liu Yitian's roar, and under the leadership of those soldiers who had been on the battlefield, after the initial chaos, they finally found a sense of rhythm, and one by one shields were erected, blocking the arrows falling from the sky, and rows of crossbow arrows screamed through the female wall, piercing into the human body, stirring up a puff of blood mist, with a fresh life.

The bamboo whistle also showed the rhythm, and each part is no longer a look of panic, methodically winding, aiming, pulling the board machine, I have to say, the crossbow is indeed much better than the bow and arrow, any person, as long as they study for one or two hours, even if they can't hit a hundred shots, they can hit a target a hundred steps away, and not like a bow and arrow, without a few months of hard practice, even the target can't be missed.

The rebels also had a lot of arrows, but with the barrier of the city wall, the ones that could really cause damage were more arrows that fell from the sky, unless they happened to hit the shooting hole of the women's wall.

And these people are wearing armor, so it is difficult for arrow wounds to be fatal, however, in just over a quarter of an hour, nearly 100 people have rushed arrows, but many people still grit their teeth and continue to insist. Only a few of those who were hit by the point were carried down.

But above the castle tower, apart from the sound of action and the sound of bamboo whistles, there were almost no other sounds, only a muffled snort from time to time, reminding that someone had been hit by a feather arrow, and the rebels under the city head were shouting frantically.

"How's it going?" After rushing to the position, Ben Gongzi hid under the female wall and asked Liu Yitian, who had already rushed over.

"Childe, we can still withstand it, but I don't know how many rebels are attacking the city, I don't know how long the road can last, fortunately, the other party's bows and crossbows are not very many, otherwise, our people will be injured several times."

I looked at the back of the house, which was still lined up in three rows, shooting forward one after another, and then retreating, and saw that there were more than 300 people wearing iron armor, and I couldn't help but have an idea, and dragged Liu Yitian over. "Tell them to stop the triple shot and let all the people in the iron armor shoot in front, and the other two rows of people will be specially wound for the iron armorers, and the three crossbows will be shot by the iron armorers, and the others will be responsible for the stringing, you know what I mean?"

Liu Yitian was stunned for a moment, and his face was happy. "What did the little Zhilu Dao do?"

"It's good to know the way, you two don't understand, understand that you can go together and let them adjust." Ben Gongzi turned his head and shouted at Li Yuanfang and Zheng Chen.

"Zheng Chen, you stay to protect Gongzi, if Gongzi has any trouble with Chi Laozi and wants your life, Brother Liu, let's go" Li Yuanfang stopped Zheng Chen and glared at him viciously, and then started to walk with Liu Yitian, and began to let those people do what Ben Gongzi ordered.

"Childe, the little one is still guarding you." Zheng Chen struggled to hold his shield, and just after talking for a while, at least three or four arrows pierced his shield. I know that Li Yuanfang is doing this for my good, forget it, I'm too lazy to care. The life of this son is very important, and it is not a big problem to have one more person or one less person to help.

With the roar of Li Yuanfang and Liu Yitian, soon, all the parts moved, those wearing iron armor all put down their face protection and stood in the front, and behind him, there were two parts close behind, as long as the crossbow arrow in his hand was shot, it would be handed over to the part next to him, and the part began to step on the string, and the other part handed the strong crossbow that had been wound, and when the new arrow was shot, the one who had just wound it had already loaded the crossbow and handed it to the ......

This time, there were only more than 300 people shooting, but there were about 600 people supplying them with ammunition, and the swift crossbow arrows, whether they were leather armor or flesh, would easily pierce them, unless they were iron armor and heavy shields, which could defend against such powerful crossbows.

Although many rebels fell in the moat, many more rebels set up ladders on the moat and began to rush down the ladder towards the foot of the city wall. And with the roar of Li Yuanfang and Liu Yitian, everyone ignored the rebels under the corner of the city wall who only had weapons but lacked siege equipment, and continued to strafe the rebels carrying ladders by the moat.

"Hurry up, hurry up" and the side of the city wall near the city, dozens of cauldrons, has faintly emitted hot steam, the young man next to him is struggling to blow the wind, this is naturally oil, the thought of pouring it hot, this son can't help but shiver, Nai, I've seen fried fritters, I really haven't seen fried big people, it's disgusting.

Just when Ben Gongzi looked at the oil pot and had a lot of thoughts, a group of people rushed over from the northeast corner of the city wall, and the torches like a long dragon were moving towards us, and the leader was Wei Yunqi.

"Wei Yushi, why are you here?" I was very touched that he was the first to rush to our rescue. There was also a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old who followed him all the way, quite tall, burly, and carrying a good bow in his hand.

"Qi Guogong don't blame Wei Mou, although the rebels on our side did not attack, but we still have to be careful, Wei specially brought a thousand people to come over for reinforcements, hoping to help." Wei Yunqi, who had also been replaced by a bright light armor, arched his hand at me.

"By the way, isn't this another new tactic?" I didn't say a word to Wei Yunqi politely, and the young noble disciple noticed with a twinkle in his eyes that those who were standing in front of the female wall and kept shooting at the city tower, and he was very surprised.

I grinned and explained at the moment: "Sort of, our troops in iron armor are only more than 300, and it is enough to hold the 150-step wide city wall, while the others are only wearing leather armor, and if they shoot from the front, they are afraid that the casualties will be too large, so I have made such a method." "This method should have been popular in later generations, anyway, I have seen the Napoleonic Wars, I remember there was such a scene, a sharpshooter came to shoot the enemy, and there were three or four people behind him to reload his ammunition.
