Chapter 95: Desperately Defending the City (Three Watches)
Two aqua-blue eagles shot out twice in front and back, with an interval of less than five seconds, and by the time everyone reacted, Zhang Tong had already turned into countless fragments and scattered on the city.
"General,"
The guards who reacted screamed one by one and were about to run over.
But at this time, Gu Tiandao stepped forward and stopped everyone, and shouted at the same time, "Stand down." ”
"General Gu, General Zhang, he ,,," a partial general said urgently, he didn't believe that Zhang Tong would die like this, this kind of death was too weird and too unrealistic.
Gu Tiandao's face turned cold, his eyes looked directly at the partial general, and he said coldly, "If you really care about General Zhang, then you should go all out to kill the enemy and defend the country." ”
The implication is that Zhang Tong is dead, and if he goes over, it won't help.
At this moment, only the sound of "buzz," was heard in the pinna, and immediately after, countless steel arrows more than a meter long and the thickness of a finger flew up from the city.
For a time, the guards who were caught off guard were in chaos, and some arrows flew up to the city, as long as they hit the guards, they could break through their armor and penetrate the chests of the guards.
Some arrows were even capable of piercing two soldiers at the same time.
Some soldiers raised their shields to resist the arrows, trying to use their shields to resist the enemy's steel arrows.
However, even so, the enemy's 50,000 steel arrows fired at the same time, and the shield could withstand one, two, or even ten steel arrows, but it could not withstand hundreds or thousands of steel arrows.
Soon, the city wall was plunged into chaos, all kinds of screams were endless, and some people tried to hold the bow to reflex, but as soon as he showed his head, he was pierced through the head by the enemy, and he was killed instantly.
The enemy's arrows were too dense and powerful, and finally, the guards began to be unable to resist, for a while, the city was in chaos, and countless guards retreated one after another in order to avoid the Qin army's arrows, and some even retreated from the city.
Gu Tiandao hid behind a stack of arrows, inspected everything visually, and when he saw this, he shouted angrily, "Give me the fuck back." ”
However, his shouts were soon drowned out in the chaos, and the guards did not listen to him at all, and ran down the city with all their might.
If the guards all went down the city and lost the city walls, how could they compete with the Qin army.
Thinking of this, Gu Tiandao turned over and jumped up from behind the arrow stack, and a few big strides came to the staircase, and without saying a word, he swung his sword and slashed towards the two guards.
Gu Tiandao's appearance was too unexpected, and his speed was too fast, the two guards only had time to raise the scimitar in their hands to block, and there was no time to dodge.
"Boom, boom, boom,,," Two successive metal slams sounded, shocking the eardrums, and then, the eyes of the two guards instantly widened, and before they could make a sound, their upper bodies and the tip of the knife broke from the middle, slid to the ground, and blood instantly sprinkled a large number of staircase steps.
Seeing this, the guards who originally wanted to go down the city wall retreated one by one in horror, looking at Gu Tiandao in horror.
"Hmph," glancing at the two corpses on the ground, Gu Tiandao looked at the guards around him with contempt, and said coldly, "As a soldier, are you so capable? If so, then it is better to go home and take the child." ”
The guards who were originally frightened lowered their heads when they heard Gu Tiandao's words, and no one dared to speak.
At this time, Gu Tiandao looked around at everyone, and then shouted, "The enemy army is outside the city, if you let them in, you don't need me to say, you should know how they will treat your wives and children,"
Speaking of this, Gu Tiandao paused, and then said, "If there is still a little blood, then go back to Lao Tzu, swear to defend the land to the death, and drive the enemy army out." ”
The guards were silent for a while, and in the end, someone still stood up, and a partial general angrily raised the steel knife in his hand and shouted angrily, "General Gu is right, even if you die, you have to pull a few people on your back, General Gu, I listen to you." ”
Someone took the lead, and someone immediately echoed it, and immediately all the guards and soldiers shouted angrily, "For killing all the Qin thieves, let's all listen to General Gu." ”
Looking at the indignant guards one by one, Gu Tiandao's spirit was shocked, and he shouted, "Okay, then let's let Qin Jun know that my patriotic man is a man with iron bones, not a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
Saying that, he took the lead and was the first to dodge behind the arrow stack, and then beckoned to everyone and said, "Everyone hide behind the arrow stack, and after the Qin army's arrow array, let's fight back." ”
When they heard this, they all ran to the edge of the city wall and hid behind the battlements of arrows.
It's just that although the enemy's arrows can't penetrate the arrow stacks, the position behind the arrow stacks is really narrow, and the guards can't squat at all with more than 100,000 people.
At this time, Gu Tiandao said again, "Everyone raise your shield." ”
As Gu Tiandao's words fell, the guards raised all the shields on the ground, so that the entire city wall was all black, it was a shield array composed of shields, although there were still steel arrows shot down from the gap in the shield array, but it was only a few sporadic ones, and the casualties could be ignored.
After resisting like this for about half an hour, finally, the Qin army's arrow array ended, and next, the Qin army's heavily armored archers retreated one after another, and the infantry in the rear came up.
They carried ladders and pushed towers to rush to the city wall quickly.
At this time, the guards on the city wall also lowered their shields, and 50,000 archers drew their bows and arrows, and continued to release arrows outside the city wall.
In this kind of dense siege warfare, there is no need to aim at the arrow, you only need to shoot the eagle in your hand as much as possible, and almost all of them can hit the enemy.
The condescending arrow shooting, although the power is not as strong as the heavy armored archers of the Qin army, but it should not be underestimated, the rain of arrows in the sky is like a black cloud, constantly sliding down the Qin army, each round of arrow shooting, can shoot a large area of the enemy.
However, even so, the number of the Qin army was too large, and after only three rounds of arrows, the Qin army had already rushed to the root of the city wall, and they had set up cloud ladder towers one after another, climbing upward.
Now, apart from arrows, the defenders can only push the thunder stones on the walls to attack the enemy, and in the previous battle, the rolling wood and fire oil have been used up.
Those Qin soldiers who were climbing the ladder
Holding a shield in one hand, he climbed with all his might.
However, although the shields in their hands could withstand the arrows of the guards, they could not withstand the attacks of the guards' thunder stones, and each thunder stone rolled down, almost killing and injuring more than a dozen people, or even dozens of people.
It's just that although the lethality of thunder stone is strong, there are times when it is exhausted.
Gu Tiandao stood on the arrow stack and saw clearly, the corpses of the Qin army more than one meter high have been piled up under the city, but a mile away, there are still Qin troops entering the siege, and their own arrows have been used up, and the thunder stones have been exhausted, and the original nearly 200,000 guards on the city are now only more than 100,000 people, and if this continues, the Qin army will inevitably attack the city.
Just when Gu Tiandao was thinking about how to break the enemy, at this time, his eyes glanced and saw a person
