380-Li Xiong
"Roll wood with stones, don't use bows and arrows, bows and arrows are useless to them."
Yao Xin yelled, and the soldiers quickly changed their tactics, picking up the huge rolling wood and smashing it down.
Since ancient times, hoplites have been most afraid of blunt blows.
The hundreds of elite foot soldiers who ascended first were beaten by the rolling wood and stones, and as many as half of them fell.
"Yes, exactly. Keep it up. ”
At the same time as Yao Xin shouted, hundreds of towering arrow towers were pushed out from the enemy formation.
The arrow tower is five zhang long, which is much higher than the city wall.
The enemy army relied on the advantage of the line of sight to frantically suppress the defenders in the city.
As a last resort, Yao Xin could only order everyone to hide behind the female wall.
After all, not all of the 5,000 soldiers in the city are wearing armor.
No, it should be said that Yao Yu has not yet achieved the scale of 120,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou at this time, all of whom are wearing armor.
After all, it has only been how long he has taken Jingzhou, and it will only be half a year if he is full.
In the past six months, it is not enough to digest Jingzhou, how can there be extra energy to build armor?
The whole army of Jingzhou is up and down, that is, about 10,000 sets.
And Yao Xin's subordinates, counting it, there are only 1,000 people in armor.
And these 1,000 people became the main force of the battle.
They were protected by armor and fought against the first dead men who climbed the ladder while withstanding the tremendous pressure from the arrow tower.
As more and more ladders were erected, the defenders began to be a little overwhelmed.
Even if Yao Xin had a huge shield in one hand and a spear in the other hand and supported the guard battalion everywhere, he was still climbed onto the city wall by Li Xiong's subordinates.
But more than a dozen first-class dead soldiers wearing three-layer heavy armor rushed to the wall, and it was Yao Xin, who couldn't hold it back.
In front of these heavily armed monsters, the surrounding soldiers had no way to break through the defenses with their weapons.
They occupy a corner and fight outwards to gain more space for their later companions.
When more than 100 people gathered at the head of the city, the enemy's offensive was completely impossible to suppress.
Seeing this situation, Yao Xin bit his lip and shouted to Yu Chao, and the two of them led their troops to raid one after the other, saying that they would also drive these people off the city wall.
Otherwise, once the city wall is lost, Yichang will be in danger.
When Yao Xin discarded the giant shield and rushed to kill with a spear, he was greeted by a centurion wearing three layers of armor and holding a hammer.
This person's face was wrapped, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and she saw Yao Xin rushing forward, and without saying a word, the hammer struck out.
It's because Yao Xin reacts quickly, otherwise, even if he has armor to protect himself, he will be seriously injured by this hammer.
"That's a lot of speed."
Yao Xin was able to dodge the hammer, and his back was scared into a layer of sweat.
When he turned back, the centurion's hammer struck again.
In a hurry, Yao Xin raised his spear horizontally to block it, but it couldn't stop the centurion's huge force, so that Yao Xin couldn't help but kneel on one knee, and his blood surged.
is worthy of the dead soldiers who first entered the camp, and they are all ruthless people who are born with great strength.
Also, without such strength, they would not be able to kill the city wall with three layers of armor.
Realizing this, Yao Xin's spear pushed outwards and rolled out from the side.
Immediately after, he jumped up with a carp, and was aroused by the centurion who had ascended first.
I saw Yao Xin throw the spear away, and pointed at the centurion with a shouting expression: "Come again!" ”
The centurion also froze, and a moment later, he roared angrily and slaughtered Yao Xin.
Yao Xin saw it clearly, and as soon as the latter rushed up, he dodged to the side and dodged his attack.
Then, Yao Xin's spear reversed, and a shot was pointed at the latter's chest.
It's a pity that the latter has three layers of armor, and this shot has no lethality at all.
However, Yao Xin reacted quickly, and when he saw that the blow missed, he immediately withdrew two steps back, and then used the spear as a whip to whip the man's head.
Even if he was wearing armor, this shot would still hit his head buzzing.
Before the latter could react, Yao Xin shouted, and the spear in his hand stabbed out, and pointed a shot at his throat.
This place is not protected by armor, and Yao Xin shot it through his throat accurately.
So much so that the latter's eyes were full of astonishment until he died.
Poof, the dead body fell to the ground, Yao Xin drew his spear, shook off the blood stains on it, snorted, kept under his feet, and rushed to the next opponent.
With Yao Xin and Yu Chao attacking, the enemy army at the head of the city was somewhat unbearable.
In addition, Yao Xin ordered people to drag ropes and use the power of running to trip or push enemy troops who climbed the city wall down. Thanks to all these efforts, the situation has really been stabilized.
The city wall, which was still precarious just now, is as stable as Mount Tai at this time.
Outside the city, Li Xiong observed the situation on the battlefield.
As the first alien force to rise after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the first ruthless man to claim the title of king and emperor, Li Xiong has the courage and courage that others do not have.
Otherwise, he would not be able to become the current Emperor Dacheng if he was empty.
Li Xiong, who is now thirty-three years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, was born burly and majestic. His eyes are as deep as the sea.
From the beginning of his army to the current control of Yizhou and becoming the Emperor of Dacheng, a total of only four years.
This act, in any dynasty, is the pride of the sky, a generation of heroes.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiong thinks very highly of himself, and there are only a few heroes in the whole world who can enter his eyes.
Calculate it, that is, Liu Yuan, who was proclaimed emperor in Bingzhou not long ago, and Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, who was defeated and killed in the Eight Kings Rebellion earlier.
As for Yao Yu, he really doesn't know it.
Don't look at Yao Yu taking down Jingzhou, which Li Xiong has always coveted, in two months, but for him, Jingzhou is just a piece of fat at his fingertips.
At Wang Cheng's level, whoever comes can swallow him.
The only hateful thing is that he originally wanted to recover Hanzhong, the gateway to Yizhou, and then attack Wang Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Yao Yu did it in advance.
This made Li Xiong very unhappy, and in addition, Yao Yu's measures in Jingzhou were very popular with the people, which made Li Xiong feel a little tricky.
If the people of Jingzhou completely surrender to Yao Yu, then even if they send troops to Jingzhou again in the future, I am afraid it will not be easy to take it down.
Because of this, when Huang Yuan and Fei Hun, the two representatives of the family, found him, Li Xiong immediately mobilized 70,000 elites under his command, and claimed to be 200,000 with logistics, and led the troops eastward.
Not to mention swallowing Jingzhou in the first war, then you have to take Yidu, as long as you take this place, you can threaten Jiangling in the future.
Li Xiong originally thought very well, his own troops were strong, and he could completely fight in one battle.
Unexpectedly, first his brother Li Shi, and the vanguard of the clan Li Li's 20,000 soldiers and horses were defeated, and the total number of prisoners and killings exceeded 10,000.
Now that he has personally led the army, he is still blocked under the city of Yichang and cannot advance.
