Chapter 539: Climb to the top, kill at night
Attacking the city at night is extremely rare, mainly because it is not prosperous, and it is impossible to carefully observe the battlefield and judge the battle situation.
When you can't see things clearly, it's hard to defend a city, and it's even harder to siege a city.
So, in general, unless you have a great advantage, or you are sure to win, you will not usually attack a city at night.
Tonight there was still light in the middle of the moon, the stars twinkled faintly, and the rest was lit by pine oil torches.
The city is like this under the city, there is a pine oil pillar on the city, it can be pointed for a long time, the city is holding a pine oil stick, although it is not as bright as the pine oil pillar, but the number is very large, and it can be seen in the near mile.
But in this way, the light of each other's relationship becomes the other's field of vision, but this is also a matter of no choice, in the dark night, this must be the case.
Most of the soldiers in the northwest can see at night, whether it is Zhao Ta's subordinates or the Western Xia, it is not as later generations said, people in ancient times could not see things at night, in fact, this kind of thing is also divided into dynasties and regions.
The soldiers of the Tang and Song dynasties could see some dark objects to some extent, as long as there were some normal lights, especially the border soldiers on the western border.
The Tang and Song dynasties were wealthy, and the food in the army was very good, especially at this time, the meat food was mainly mutton, unlike the guinea duck and other things that gradually evolved later.
Therefore, the border soldiers of the Tang and Song dynasties, including some soldiers such as the Tibetans, Uighurs, and Dangxiang, could have night vision.
At this moment, the attack under the pass was extremely fierce, just to cover the five hundred villagers who flew over the pass from Wulong Ridge.
These five hundred villagers have already crossed down from the top of the city tower, which is uneven and uneven, like a sword pavilion, although they stepped on the mechanism before, but all of them are extraordinary, few people have been injured, killed in the defenders, and occupy a corner of the pass.
The closure was already in chaos, and the lower part could naturally be seen clearly, Zhao Ta immediately gave an order, regardless of the gains and losses of the attack, all kinds of siege equipment were used, there were several kinds of ladders, and the arrow tower was pushed directly to the front, almost close to the wall.
This gorge pass is not a tall and incomparably majestic pass, but it is a dangerous pass.
Because of the terrain, you can resist the enemy on one side, and gather all the soldiers to protect only one wall, which is the gateway to the south.
But it is necessary to occupy the terrain and be condescending, then it is extremely difficult to climb down, it is difficult to hang the ladder, and it is difficult for people to climb and jump into the pass, so it can be regarded as a dangerous place.
But there are people in the gate at the moment, and there are still a lot of people, and they directly start to grab the pass, and the gate is fiercely attacking the city, where is there any situation where no one can be on the pass, it is simply a mess, and it is precarious.
I saw that the flow of people at that juncture was crowded, and many Western Xia generals rushed over, but this pass was in the shape of a gourd, wide inside, but narrow at the pass, the people above had to command and fight with the villagers who came over, and they had to fight against the siege below, it was noisy and noisy for a while, and the military order was difficult to pass, and even many of the soldiers besieging the city under the city had touched the battlements above.
At this time, the defects of the topography of the gorge pass are completely revealed, the top is narrow and crowded, and it is impossible to gather a large army to directly crush five hundred villagers, and then the five hundred villagers have the foundation of martial arts and light skills, the buildings on the pass are complex, dodge and dodge, as long as they occupy three or two battlements, the siege soldiers below will come up.
At this moment, a ladder was hung next to them, and only a fat figure had already set up the battlements, and was shouting: "Hold on for a few breaths, and you can come home!" ”
He grabbed the battlement in one hand, and the sword in the other, and flew two sharp arrows at him, and then jumped up to the top of the city.
Then he stood in front of this battlement, waved his weapon, and covered the soldiers behind him to continue to ascend the city.
This is not someone else, it is Luda, there are not many generals under Zhao Tan, Li Yanxian went to attack Wulongling, Du Yan commanded the front army, Zhang Xian commanded the two wings and the rear, and Luda and Xu Ning were left to go into battle in person.
Originally, Zhao Ta wanted to ask one to follow five hundred villagers to cross the border together, but then he thought about dispelling the idea, after all, it was more important to cooperate with the siege.
There is basically no problem with Feiling crossing the pass, and it will definitely be able to pass, but whether the soldiers under the city can take advantage of this precious hard-won opportunity to climb to the top of the city when the five hundred villagers occupy a place is the top priority.
If you go up, the basic event will be decided, and if you can't climb it, then all the previous preparations will be in vain, and the five hundred villagers will definitely not be able to come back, and they will inevitably die at the top.
Therefore, it is the most important thing to climb this gorge pass.
Zhao Ta asked Luda to lead the army to build a ladder to attack the city, and sent Xu Ning to cut the gate.
After receiving the order, Luda personally selected a small team of people, took the lead in himself, set up a cloud ladder to take the lead, and finally was the first to climb the gorge pass!
Seeing that he reached the top of the pass, cheers immediately erupted from below, all of which were words such as "mighty and invincible", but the city was crazy to shoot arrows at Ruda's position, and even finally turned the stone cannon to the front, and threw it indiscriminately, knocking down several buildings over there.
But after all, it was not stopped, and Luda saw that a few more people came up behind him, so he used the ring knife to go forward and join the five hundred villagers, and then started to kill.
With him joining, the pressure on the five hundred villagers was suddenly greatly reduced, and Bai Li, who took the lead, was the skill of the little grandmaster, but it was not as good as Li Yanxian, and he was considered to have entered this realm for the first time, and with a powerful grandmaster like Luda to help, he was suddenly overjoyed.
The Xiakou Pass fell into a critical state for a while, there were more and more people climbing up to the city, and the stone cannons and bed crossbows under the city kept bombarding this side, even if the defending soldiers were good at fighting and the armaments were complete, it was also a situation where two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands.
Fighting on both sides, and because of the narrowness of the place, the army under the city could not be pressed at all, so it immediately became precarious.
Seeing this in the rear, Zhao Ta ordered again, regardless of gains and losses, to attack the city with all his might, and the bed crossbow and the like would rather be scrapped than stopped, and the Western Xia army on the city must be suppressed, so that the number of people on the ladder in the city will continue to increase.
And the door is closed here, and it is even more used to collide with the jack car researched by Zhang Xian.
The normal siege of the city and the door, are a few small soldiers carrying the logs, to bombard, but the force area is small is one thing, the individual logs are not so heavy, the forward inertia is insufficient, once the back of the city is blocked by stones, it can not break the city gate for a long time.
But this jack cart is different, just like the multi-barreled artillery of later generations, five or seven logs are fixed and kidnapped together, below is a four-wheeled cart, which can be pushed forward, and there is a hard shed above, which can block arrows and lighter stones, and it is violently knocked over from afar, and the power is incomparably great, and it is a sharp weapon for breaking the door.
At this time, the battle between the city and the city was in full swing, and Luda above blocked the head, and the knife in his hand flew up and down, splitting, chopping, teasing, stabbing, collapsing, hanging, and wearing.
That night owl Bai Li was good at light skills, just watch him break his steps, move and move, drill in the shadow of the sword and sword, fluttering, although his clothes and armor are all stained with blood, but all of them are left by the enemy soldiers, and he has not injured even half a hair.
At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in front of him, wearing armor, looking like a Western Xia general, with a single-strand sword in his hand, and he fought with Luda.
Just look at Luda's "swift through the forest", swishing, swishing, the knife flies like lightning, and it is cut indiscriminately, not only against the Western Xia generals, but also against the soldiers next to him.
He then made another move, "Yaksha Stirring the Sea", and the light of the sword rolled around like a rain of snow, blood splattered everywhere, and his skin flew sideways.
The Xixia soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers, and they retreated one after another, and the generals were immediately furious: "They are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they don't move forward, and if they retreat back to the pass, they won't be able to live if they lose everything!" With that, he personally swung his sword and killed a few retreating pawns, and the rest of the soldiers had no choice but to step forward with him and continue to fight.
Ruda killed several more people and shouted, "You bird, do you want to die?" After that, like an angry lion, he pounced on him with a sword in his hand.
The Xixia general waved his sword to boring, looked at the knife and picked it up, and with a clatter, he was out of the circle, Luda already had the martial arts of the grandmaster, and he also had divine power, he was brave and abnormal, his feet moved, and he made another move on the knife, making a "tiger probe", which reached the heart of the Xixia general, and a cold wind rushed to the face, and the knife came too fast.
The Xixia general was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly hugged the sword to fight, who knew that the sword tiger probe was empty, and in the blink of an eye, Luda was like a whirlwind, and turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, and a cold light went straight to the lower abdomen of the Xixia general, as fast as an arrow from the string.
The Xixia general "ahhhh
This is a trick in Luda's knife technique, even the gods are difficult to prevent, the knife arrived in the façade of the Xixia general, where is it easy to hide, only to hear a "poof" muffled sound, and suddenly from top to bottom, the official was split into two pieces.
Then Luda's right foot flew up, and a series of shovel legs kicked the body down the city, and the Western Xia soldiers did not dare to step forward for a while, and retreated one after another.
Luda led the people to continue to press forward, in this city, if you can occupy more places forward, you will have more hope of taking the city, just like a tug-of-war, you must fight for every inch of land.
At this time, before arriving at the gate, several generals came up from the opposite side, all of whom were so anxious that they were sweating and ordered the soldiers to release arrows.
In an instant, the crossbow was closed, and the arrows were like flying locusts.
"Oh no, how can there be such a thing!" Seeing that it was a sharp weapon like a crossbow, Luda immediately brandished his knife and struck, as if he didn't expect Guanlou to ambush this thing, and then suddenly shouted miserably: "Ah, bitter! ”
I saw that his body was planted to the side, and he fell directly to the ground on the side, with two crossbow arrows pierced directly in his heart and under his ribs.
On the opposite side, the Western Xia generals were overjoyed when they saw this, and they all hated him for being brave and invincible, and now they were shot by a crossbow, and they suddenly felt relieved, one of them was holding a horse-chopping knife, and he stepped forward, and the head of the knife shook and chopped straight to Luda's neck, afraid that he would not die and wanted to mend the knife.
At this moment, Ruda suddenly moved, only to see him let out a long roar, the knife snatched the saber, and then jumped up from the ground, actually pretending to be dead, luring the other party to attack.
The knife in his hand was like a silver dragon playing in the water for the next moment, rolling up and down, the cold air was blowing, cutting people's skin, and in the blink of an eye, he killed the reckless Western Xia general, dazzled, and kept retreating, full of danger.
Luda was able to kill for a while, and used a special move, only to see the light of the ring knife skyrocketing, the white light fluttering, not leaving the opponent's top beam, only listening to the whirring wind, countless blades, from up and down, left and right.
The Xixia general's heart was shocked, he took a step back in shock, shortened his body, turned his head backwards, and turned into a move.
He dodged Luda's knife, and he was proud in his heart, who would have thought that Luda's skills were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he chased after him with an arrow.
The Western Xia generals didn't expect it to be so fast, and they were suddenly at a loss, "oops" I don't know what to do, and a few people behind hurriedly commanded the soldiers to come to the rescue.
Luda sneered, his footsteps were as dark as the wind, and a knife was already poked in the heart of the general, and he used it violently, through his heart, and then he dragged it, and the blood suddenly sprayed all over his body.
At this time, the people in the rear were killed, and immediately joined together to besiege him, and Lu Dashi showed the method of pouring the sea knife all the way, the ring knife flew wildly, and the flesh and blood collapsed when it was cut at the human body, and the stone chips flew under the wall, and the sparks were splashed everywhere.
Although the generals on the opposite side were brave, their martial arts were obviously not as good as the two who died in the previous battle, and they were actually killed and retreated, and the soldiers on both sides were simply killed and wounded, and the corpses were piled up more than half a person high.
Ruda took the villagers behind him and the soldiers who climbed the ladder, kept pressing forward, and he shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, those who avoid me live, and those who stand in my way die!" ”
In his hand, he hacked five or six people to death, slashed left and right, almost touched the wound, and the person who touched it died, and the Western Xia soldiers could not stop their front at all, so they had to dodge a road out.
At this moment, Luda suddenly became mighty, jumped directly into the opponent's circle, and used the bottom of the box trick of the inverted sea knife method, and immediately killed the generals who had just stepped forward.
In fact, he has been reining in his own martial arts and fighting, otherwise the grandmaster's ability, who is the opponent in this city?
It's just that the melee of the army is naturally different from the duel between a few people alone, he was born in the army, understands these truths, and knows that even if he is powerful alone, he can't keep up with him, and it's useless if he can't cooperate with each other, so he has been fighting slowly just now, without violent killing, and going straight to the point.
But now it is different, the people in the rear are getting more and more, and even the downstairs, in the left and right obstacles, they all begin to fight, and they have to seize the control of the steps that are in the city, once they seize it, then they will seize the initiative, and if they seize the initiative, they can put more soldiers up the ladder to the city, if they occupy the city, then the gorge pass will be broken.
For if the head of the city is occupied, and no one is killed in the city, then there is no way to stop the soldiers who are attacking the city below, and the gates of the city below will be broken.
Whatever was piled up inside the gates, it was only a matter of time before they were opened, and then the army would march in.
Ruda killed several generals at this time, and the soldiers in the rear followed with a "hula" and went straight to the stone steps of the lower city.
At this moment, on the Wulong Ridge in the east, a red light suddenly appeared, and then many places began to light up, and there was a raging fire.
The fire was so fierce that it burned very high in just a few moments, and it shone as bright as day at the mouth of the gorge......
