Chapter 293: Unexpected

This was much to the surprise of Dou Bo and the other Jin soldiers, and it was the first time they had seen a city with a jack gate.

The jack gate is located on the inner side of the city gate, it is different from the city gate, the city gate is fan-shaped, can be opened outward, can also be opened inward, and the jack gate is straight up and down, the organ is located in the city gate building, the mechanism is activated, the jack gate slowly falls down from above, its solidity is not inferior to the city gate, or even better, it can be said that it is the second city gate.

Usually, the jack gate is not activated, and it will only be used at the most critical moment.

In the intelligence of the Jin Army, Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan did not mention the fact that the Xiangyang City Gate still contained a thousand jin gates, and at this critical moment, a huge and heavy copper gate slowly descended, how could Dou Bo and the others not be dumbfounded.

Only a few seconds later, but it seemed like centuries to Dou Bo, he came back to his senses and yelled at the soldiers around him: "Resist the copper gate, you must not let it fall!" After speaking, he was the first to rush to the jack gate, raised his arms, and made a posture to force the jack gate.

When the Jin sergeant saw that Dou Bo had gone to carry the copper gate, how could he be lazy, people flocked up, standing under the gate together, and like Dou Bo, he raised his arms high to force the jack gate.

At this time, Li Peng, who was in the city gate tower, was watching the two wooden generals command several or so wooden soldiers to fall off the gate, his hand was slowly raised, pressed on the saber at his waist, and his palm was loosened on the hilt of the sword, loosened and grasped, but he did not draw the sword for a long time.

He was also hesitating whether he wanted to stop people from falling off the gate, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to wait and see what happened, and not to interfere.

He has already done what he promised the Jin Army, if the Jin Army can break the city. He is still a hero, but what if the Jin army can't break the city? If he strikes now, there will be no way out at all, and once the Jin army is defeated, he will be sentenced to death for treason, and his whole family will also suffer. He didn't dare and couldn't take the risk.

Li Peng, who was able to stop it, did not stop it, and let the jack gate fall.

When the jack gate fell for most of the time, it finally reached the height within reach of Dou Bo and others, and for a while, dozens of palms supported the jack gate, and the bodies of the people below were also shocked, saying that it was a jack gate, but in fact, the weight was more than a jack, and people felt that they were not holding it like a gate. It's more like a toppled mountain, as if it's about to crush all the bones in its body.

"Brothers, exert yourself—" Dou Bo's eyes widened, and the green tendons on his forehead were stretched high. People shouted in unison, all with all their strength, and the bones rattled one by one, holding the falling jack gate hard.

The wooden soldiers and generals in the city gate tower did not know that the jack gate was held up by the Jin army in the city gate hole, and when they saw that the mechanism was running halfway, it did not move, and people were very puzzled. I thought there was something wrong with the organ, so I slapped and hit. But the jack gate just doesn't land a single bit.

At this moment, I heard someone outside shouting: "Jin army! There is a Jin army attacking the city outside the city!"

As soon as he heard this, the two wooden generals who controlled the gate shook their bodies and rushed out in both directions.

When they got outside, the two of them held the arrow stacks in their hands and looked closely. But isn't it, I saw the lamp balls and torches, the bright pine in the gold camp, the firelight, and a large number of Jin troops with torches poured out of the camp, looking from afar. Like a stout fire dragon, it was rushing towards Xiangyang.

The two wooden generals shivered, took two steps back, ran to the other side of the city wall, and shouted to the wooden army below: "The Jin army's brigade has begun to attack the city, quickly kill the Jin army in the city and close the city gate, otherwise we will all be finished!"

The shouts of the two were a booster for Jin Jun, and undoubtedly a life-booster for Mu Jun. Neither the soldiers on either side had a way to retreat, either the enemy died or we died, and the battle on the battlefield became more bloody and tragic.

As soon as the shouts of the two wooden generals fell, two bloody people covered in blood suddenly flashed behind them, both of whom were demonic martial artists who came with Shao Lin.

The two flashed up to the city with strange steps, and after they appeared, without saying a word, they beckoned to the two wooden generals with their knives.

These two wooden generals were not ordinary people, and they immediately realized that the danger was approaching, and the two of them turned around in unison, and took a look at the demon underworld warrior, and they also happened to see the oncoming broadsword.

The wooden general reacted quickly, dodged on both sides, and then, drew his sword, and fought with the two demonic warriors.

As soon as the four of them handed over, a large number of wooden soldiers also rushed over, and the two demon warriors had to separate one to resist the wooden soldiers, and the other fought alone against the two generals.

With one enemy and two, the demon underworld warrior is still rushing to attack, and the hands of the two wooden generals are in a hurry, but it is not easy to hurt the other party, if you continue to fight like this, there is no head at all, and the first person who runs out of strength has to be himself, and the demon underworld warrior will grit his teeth and change to a desperate style of play.

He was completely unguarded by the attack of a wooden general, and attacked another wooden general with all his might, under his crazy attack, the wooden general's body was picked three times in a row, and he himself was hit by three swords, covered in blood and had clearly distinguished which ones were his own and which were the enemy's.

The ruthlessness of the demon warrior is not only to others, but also to themselves, in the case of continuous injury, he can still grit his teeth and insist on fighting, but the other party can't stand it first, the wooden general who was attacked by him first became cowardly, retreated while fighting, and kept retreating into the city gate tower, and this is exactly what the demon warrior wanted, they killed it, just to destroy the jack gate mechanism in the city gate tower.

The wooden general retreated, and he immediately followed, and the broadsword attack was more urgent and fierce.

The wooden general, who had no way out, shouted at Li Peng, who was standing aside: "General, save me-"

The shouts of his subordinates at the critical moment brought Li Peng, who was watching the battle on the city wall, back to his senses, and saw that one of his subordinates was being chased and slashed by a bloody man and was covered in injuries, and the situation was precarious.

Li Peng's underworld martial arts are not comparable to ordinary wooden generals, this sword is as fast as lightning, and it is close to the demonic underworld martial artist in an instant.

At the last moment, the latter made a strange step, flashing directly from Li Peng's front to his back, and before he could draw the knife, Li Peng turned back violently, stretched out his arm, only to hear a bang, and his palm accurately grabbed the neck of the demonic warrior, and then, the five fingers retracted forcefully.

"Click!"

The armor on the neck of the demon warrior shattered, and even with it, the neck bone was also crushed by it, and the bloody body also softened.

When his series of actions were completed, he suddenly realized that he had pinched a Jin soldier to death......

The wooden general who almost died under the sword of the demon underworld warrior swallowed and foamed, looked at the corpse in Li Peng's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Fortunately...... Fortunately, the general came to his aid......" As he spoke, he slowly slid against the wall and sat on the ground, blood gushing from the wounds on his body.

"Kill—"

As soon as Li Peng threw away the corpse, another 'bloody man' came in from the outside, and the wooden general, who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, instinctively jumped up from the ground, but before he could draw his sword, the other party had already cut off half of his head with a knife, and watched the corpse of his subordinate fall straight to the ground, before Li Peng could react, another wooden general followed from the outside, roaring and fighting with the 'bloody man'.

Although this is a corner of the battlefield, but it is basically the whole picture, now in Beicheng, there are fights everywhere, there are dead and wounded everywhere, and the overall formation of the 3,000 gold army has been disrupted, and it has evolved into a big melee between the two sides.

Countless Mu troops died while besieging the Jin army, and similarly, countless Jin troops were besieged and killed by the Mu army.

The approach of the Jin army brigade outside the city made the wooden army go crazy and rushed to the city gate hole, went up a group, fell a group, and the people behind continued to follow, and the number of Jin troops gathered in the city gate hole was getting smaller and smaller, the corpses of both sides were stacked together, spread on the ground, and gradually built up a good height, and the blood gathered into a river.

Fighting to the end, people don't even have the strength to wield weapons, the soldiers on both sides crowded into one place, mechanically stabbed the weapons in their hands forward blindly, Jin Jun stabbed the other party at the same time as he was also stabbed, the opponent on the battlefield is often on the ground at the same time, until death, the palm of the hand is still holding the opponent's armor, and it is inseparable.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers in the city gate, Dou Bochong, who was holding the jack gate, yelled left and right: "You carry the gate, I will resist the enemy!"

"Yes!" shouted in unison from the soldiers who were holding the golden gate.

Dou Bo got out from under the gate, picked up a steel knife casually, shouted, and rushed to the wooden army outside the city gate. (To be continued......)
