Chapter 385: Repulsion
There are 3,000 soldiers in the state of Chu, and there are only 800 people in the Cao state plus the Mo people, and the Chu generals decided to continue the fight because they decided that the small country of Cao must not have more resources.
In the evening, the inkers meet to discuss the day's experience, prepare for tomorrow, and discuss tactics.
"The tulou of the Chu State didn't play much of a role, but their tactics of using shields to cover and crashing into wood were dangerous. If it hadn't been reinforced in time, the city gate would have been broken, which we didn't expect. Tomorrow there will be more stones at the gates. Duobao Daoist said.
"A lot of stones have been consumed, and three layers of arrows have been used, originally I hoped to retreat the enemy after holding a wave, but I didn't expect the enemy to be more stubborn than we imagined, if the Chu army continued to attack for many days, there would not be enough stones and wood in the city." The inker who counted the matter brought bad news.
Can you hold it? Everybody's worried.
Hua Wen only felt that his two legs were not his own, and he didn't know how many times he ran up and down today, in short, he was tired, there was a lot of blood on his body, and the screams in his ears did not disperse.
"Do you think we can hold it?" The two adults around Hua Wen were chatting, discussing whether they could hold on.
"It should be able to hold it, the ink master still has a set, the offensive of the Chu army is not weak today, and the Cao State is still intact, as long as it is maintained like this, there will be no problem."
Hua Wen couldn't help but agree, as long as he could maintain the momentum of the first day, there would be no problem.
"But the stones and arrows are limited, I heard that the trees have begun to be cut down, and even if we have the determination, the small country of Cao does not have so many weapons to defend the city." This is a serious question, they don't lack momentum, they lack stones.
"The Ink Artist will definitely think of a way." Hua Wen couldn't help but say, he believed that the ink master must have a way.
"I hope so. By the way, have you heard? The white-clothed women in the ink were able to save a lot of the wounded today, although they were women, they were even more ruthless than men, and they could cut off the hands and legs of the wounded without changing their faces. In the past, I had only heard that the clan would cut off the legs of sinners to punish them, but I had never heard of a woman who would do this. ”
"I also heard that I lived next to the national shrine, and the whole day there was a lot of screaming in the national shrine, which was more lively than killing pigs and dogs. I heard that someone went to see it, and when they saw the picture of the amputation, they couldn't help but close their eyes, the woman in white was able to do it, and she didn't look like a woman. ”
Hua Wen thought of the woman who diagnosed the wounded under the city wall, and he admired it in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to amputate his leg. Although the Chinese have seen dead people, such as those who froze to death, starved to death, died of disease, died of old age, and died of fighting...... When he was a child, he also played with skeletons, but he still didn't dare to amputate a limb from a living person, so he admired the white clothes of the ink man very much.
It is not strange to see dead people in the Spring and Autumn Period, after all, the conditions are not good, and the human race will die for various reasons, this is the old society of all evils.
"The ink man is also powerful, there are even female ink writers, and there are no female students in Confucianism."
"Men and women are God's property, so naturally you can't favor one over the other. It is also natural to have female inkers, and besides, these female inkers are not small, they can also mobilize the monarch's wife, amputate their limbs, and can also play a role on the battlefield. ”
"yes, it's amazing." "Rest early, I'm sure we'll continue to fight tomorrow, let's not talk about it."
Hua Wen also fell asleep, but had a dream that he was lying on the platform, and the ink man was cutting his legs, and he was very scared, and when he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are washing clothes, and the two of them are professionals, they can be described as raccoon fairies, washing and drying all the bloody clothes, bandages, and cloth sheets.
Today will be another hard battle, after eating, the attack of the Chu State will begin, this time in addition to hitting the wood, there are actually three more cloud ladders.
The ladder was also protected by a wooden shield and sent to the foot of the city wall.
"Sure enough, it's more violent than yesterday, don't panic, aim at the wooden shield and throw it again, don't worry." The giant looked at the Chu army camp and found that there was a team of more than 300 people in the rear, obviously if the ladder was erected later, these 300 people would rush to the city with all their might.
The situation is even more dangerous than yesterday.
The rain of arrows of the Chu army was also more dense than yesterday, and there were more wounded on the city walls. Hua Wen quickly realized the increase in casualties, knew that the battle situation was worse than yesterday, and he couldn't help but worry about Cao Guo's safety.
"I don't believe you have so many stones." "Don't be afraid, whoever storms the city first will be rewarded with ten gold, and I will be rewarded." The ladder was erected, and the three hundred death squads immediately rushed forward and charged, each of them holding a small wooden shield, and rushed to the bottom of the city wall under the rain of arrows, and began to climb the ladder.
"Don't let them come up, push the ladder down."
However, there is still a height advantage on the tulou, and the ladder is under the cover of the tulou, so if you want to push the ladder, you will inevitably expose yourself and will be attacked.
Injuries were constantly being made while pushing the ladder, and the soldiers on both sides threw stones and arrows at the ladder, hoping to block the soldiers on the ladder.
In order to prevent the ladder from being pushed down, the bottom of the ladder was firmly supported by a group of soldiers. The death squads climbed upwards and closer to the city.
"Draw your sword!" The giant knew that he had to engage in melee combat.
The first Chu soldier who climbed up was hacked to death by the Ink Warrior's sword and fell. However, there were other Chu soldiers who climbed towards the city wall one after another under the heavy reward of ten gold.
And at this time, the other two ladders were also erected, and the most brutal hand-to-hand encounters were inevitable.
"It's done!" General Chu was overjoyed, and with a loud roar, he ordered the soldiers behind him to also climb the city wall: "Go and take down the city gate." "As long as the city gate is captured, the whole army can attack, and Cao Guo will be able to capture it.
At the head of the city, the giant was already sweating on his forehead, and he also pulled out his sword and took the ink man to drive away the enemies on the city head, and the sword and the sword duel, the ink man must defend the city wall, otherwise the Cao State will die.
At the critical juncture, the giant took the lead, and the soldiers of Mo and Cao worked together to fight to the death and not retreat, defending the city, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides.
Yun Yao's eyes were like torches, and when he saw that the enemy army had already appeared on the city, he thought to himself that the first performance of the Mo family would end in failure?
No, the Moshi showed amazing courage and combat power in hand-to-hand combat, and held the walls rather than retreat, because they believed in love and believed that what they were doing was right.
Therefore, although the Chu army kept climbing the wall, the end result was to be hacked to death by the ink man.
"Hold on!" The giant roared, and the iron sword swam away, and he only needed to defend within three zhang.
Yun Yao found that Juzi's swordsmanship was very famous, could this be Mozi's swordsmanship? The giant son's swordsmanship is silent in the drizzle, and the light and agile changes to directly capture the enemy's vital points.
The first wave of Chu troops who climbed the wall were repulsed, leaving sixty corpses to retreat.
The ladder was also pushed, and the giant felt that it was almost time to use the secret weapon: "Put on the hot water and pour it down." ”
Behind the city walls, several pots of hot water were boiled, and water was poured under them in clay pots. The hot water flowed through the gaps in the shield, making Chu Jun scream and retreat in all directions.
"How so?" General Chu didn't expect the enemy's resistance to be so fierce at all. They have all attacked the city, and they have even been pushed down, and their faces are suddenly full of depression.
This defeat hit the momentum of the Chu army, and it was difficult to go to the city again. Do you want to take another risk? Seeing the soldiers around him who were burned red, Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, squeezing out two words from between his teeth: "Retreat." ”
Although he could still fight, General Chu was not sure how much he would have to pay to take the city, and if the price was too great, the gains would outweigh the losses, so this time he chose to retreat.
There were cheers on the city walls, and they succeeded, and they successfully repelled the Chu army.
