Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 9 The battlefield is life and death

On the raw cowhide on the roof of the car, dozens of crossbow bolts and arrows were stuck in it, and they vibrated as the hook hit the car. The left front corner of the herringbone roof has been somewhat cracked by a stone, and it is estimated that it will be able to break after a few more supports. But overall, Wang Rong's group of hook crashes were lucky, although they also suffered a lot of attacks, but at least they didn't break.

More than a dozen hook collision cars in the same company, four or five have been destroyed, the soldiers under the car have been stoned to death, crushed to death many people, and the surviving soldiers are not much better, they are taken care of, the rain of arrows and crossbows keep beckoning them, shooting them to death on the way to the city, blood soaked the land, just to the distance to the city wall, hundreds of people have lost their lives.

Although Wang Rong's hook crash car experienced twists and turns, it still came to the Xincheng city gate smoothly. The old dog looked at the situation at the city gate carefully, and then hid in the car, Pei Zongyan was about to ask the old dog how the situation was, but he saw the old dog squatting down nervously and hugging his head tightly. Wang Rong looked at the old dog like this, his heart tightened, and then he heard a "bang", a puff of black smoke spread from the roof of the car, Wang Rong was choked enough, he had to squat down, tore off a strip of cloth from the uniform and wrapped it around his head, and then said to Pei Zongyan and the old wolf: "Quick, tear a piece of cloth from your body, wet the cloth if you have urine, and then wrap it around your head to cover your mouth and nose." ”

When the old wolf, Tie Ta and others heard it, they hurriedly complied, Wang Rong felt that the black smoke was gradually dissipating, and quickly removed the strip of cloth covering his face, and then pulled the old dog and asked, "Old dog, what's wrong?" What's going on with this soot? ”

The old dog coughed twice, and then said: "This new guard is quite a thief, he has dug several holes in the city gate, and can pour things directly down from the city wall, and just now I saw several clouds of black ash coming out of these holes. ”

Wang Rong sighed in his heart when he heard this, this new Cheng Shou will really know how to play, and it is estimated that the hole in this city gate has already been dug up, just waiting for this moment.

Wang Rong looked at Pei Zongyan and said: "What is the chief, it can't be done like this, the hook collision car can resist fire and smoke, but we can't bear it, and you see, this iron jack brake is difficult to break open with our kind of collision wood." ”

Pei Zongyan listened to Wang Rong's words, and also scratched his head for a while, and said irritably: "I have seen what you said, so you can say what to do." ”

When Wang Rong saw the jack gate in front of him, he was also stunned for a while, but even if it was difficult, they had to do it, because if they didn't enter, they would die. Wang Rong took a closer look, he looked at the jack gate, and found that although this thing was very heavy, some positions were not so firm. Wang Rong said to the old dog: "Old dog, look at this jack gate, are there a few places that are not strong?" ”

The old dog looked at it and nodded at Pei Zongyan and Wang Rong, Wang Rong hurriedly said: "Old dog, you command the direction, what is the chief, we will hit the weak point, and we will definitely be able to smash the jack brake." ”

The jack gate in the TV series generally looks very thick, but in reality, Wang Rong found out that iron in this era is a scarce material, how can it be possible to use a jack of iron to build a gate. After Wang Rong stabilized his mind, he took a closer look, this jack gate is wrapped in iron sheets, and the inside is wood, if the new Cheng Shou will really take a thousand catties of iron, he is willing to call him the proudest in the world.

Pei Zongyan nodded, he was a smart person, and he also realized this, no one can be bold enough to use a thousand catties of iron as a gate.

Then the hook crash car began to crash under the command of the old dog, the iron tower and the sledgehammer pulled back and forth hard at the last wooden pole position, Wang Rong also pulled the wooden pole in his hand, the heavy crashing wood was dragged backwards, and then hit the jack brake fiercely, with the impact of the crash wood, the jack brake cracked instantly after bearing more than a dozen impacts.

Pei Zongyan, the old wolf and others saw the jack gate shattered, and their faces were happy, and then they heard the old dog say: "Quick! It's on fire! With that, he covered his mouth and nose with strips of cloth.

Wang Rong and the others hurriedly followed suit, and as soon as Wang Rong put on the strip of cloth, he felt a heat wave with a burnt smell coming out. He knew it was the smell of the cowhide on the spire being burned. Why don't you soak cowhide? Eh, the old dog and the old cake forgot because of their bickering.

Wang Rong came to the front, the jack gate had been broken, he looked at Pei Zongyan, both of them understood what the other party was thinking, and then the two of them took out the axe and began to chop, braving the heat wave, the two finally made a big hole in the jack gate. One point broken, the whole face was broken, and in the heat wave, the wood continued to work, and the bottom of the jack gate was completely destroyed.

While Wang Rong and they were busy at the city gates, the fighting was fierce in other parts of the city wall. Several Linchong Lu buses and more than a dozen ladders leaned against the city wall, and the main foot soldiers of the right division began to climb the city wall, and the rear division waited behind as a reserve force.

The rain of arrows on the city wall is very lethal to the main foot soldiers of the right division, although the Yongjun army is very well equipped and the armor rate is 100%, but it does not mean that the Yongjun army is all iron men and invulnerable. Hundreds of Yongjun soldiers were shot dead and wounded, and the ladder on the city wall was particularly slippery with blood.

Several of the other hook crash cars were smashed by stones under the city, and the soldiers were smashed to death and injured, and on a large number of flying ladders, the Yongjun soldiers were in danger of being splashed with hot oil, scalded by boiling juice, knocked over by rolling wood, and stoned to death, and struggled to climb the city wall, and the corpses of the Yongjun soldiers had been laid under the Xincheng City.

Returning to the city gate, Pei Zongyan had already led everyone to start the work of hitting the city gate, pouring fire oil, black ash, and even foul-smelling boiling juice from the holes in the city gate from time to time. Meng Song was already unconscious because he couldn't stand the smoke, Wang Rong brought him to his side, there was no environment to get water, so he could only untie his pants and pour a soak of boy's urine. Although it won't wake him up, it will make him less smoky for the time being. If this continues, Meng Song will become bacon.

"The Tower! Sledgehammer! Hard! Pei Zongyan couldn't see the city gate loosening for a long time, and he was very anxious, from the beginning of the war to the present, they have only reduced one person, which is already very good, of course he hopes that this kind of good can continue.

"Click!" There was a cracking sound from inside the city gate, and the door panel had been knocked open with a big opening, and the old dog looked at the Yuguo soldiers behind the door very affectionately, and then the other party was merciless, like a scumbag, and pierced the spear in his hand. Wang Rong pushed the old dog away, the bowstring in his hand trembled, and a heavy arrow drilled into the eye socket of the Yu soldier along the hole, and the arrow cluster drilled out of the back of his head.

The iron tower and the sledgehammer continued to work hard, the five horizontal wooden latches of the new city gate could not resist the impact of the two macho men at all, and cracked, under the final blow of the two macho men with all their strength, the city gate was knocked open with a "creak", and several Yu soldiers at the top of the door behind the door were stabbed by broken wooden thorns.

Wang Rong and Pei Zongyan slammed into the door with axes and shields, knocking down and cutting down the enemies who were blocking in front, and the iron tower and sledgehammer continued to push the hook crash car forward, stuck on one side of the door, leaving the other side of the passage to pass.

Qin Ke, who was standing on the control tower, heard what he wanted to hear most in this battle, the city gate was broken, and then he gave the order to charge the cavalry and charge towards the city gate.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and the cavalry galloped freely. When Wang Rong saw the cavalry rushing over, he hurriedly shouted: "All leave the city gate, rush into the city, and run to the horse paths on both sides!" ”

Pei Zongyan and the old wolf carried Meng Song and ran to the west side of the road, Wang Rong took the old dog, the leopard and the old cake in front to open the way for them, the iron tower and the sledgehammer had not fully recovered their strength, they could only give up their heavy weapons, holding waist swords and shields to shield everyone from the arrows shooting from behind.

The city gate was broken, and the bad news quickly spread throughout Xincheng, and the morale of the Yongjun soldiers who attacked the city wall was greatly boosted, and they struggled to climb towards the city wall, and the first soldiers who climbed the city wall clearly felt the fear of the Xincheng defenders, and they quickly killed the defenders on the city wall, and then occupied the city. With the first batch, there was a second batch, and in less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of people had already climbed to the top of the city. The archers of the right division, seeing that their comrades were on the top of the city, no longer shot their arrows at the city wall, but advanced to the bottom of the city, filled their bows and arrows, raised them above their heads, cast their bowstrings, and shot their arrows into the city, at least there were still many enemy troops in the city.

The crossbowmen hung their crossbows behind them, lifted their shields on the ground, and ran towards the city gate with halberds in their hands. They rushed into the city through the gates, and were able to quickly find an open space, set up a crossbow array, and then provide support to their comrades.

The cavalry of the right and rear divisions were very fast, they were armed with bows and crossbows, and when they came to the city gate, they first released a round of arrows against the enemy in the city, and then armed with spears and halberds, and used the speed of their horses to rush towards the enemy, plowed several blood marks in the enemy's array. If Wang Rong hadn't reminded Pei Zongyan that they had left the city gate, then there would have been a part of their body in this blood path composed of stumps and severed arms.

Wang Rong stood in the middle of the road, in front of him was a frightened Yu soldier, the other party was very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, the helmet he was wearing was a little big, dangling, and the armor on his body was also very fat. Wang Rong didn't come forward to attack him, but only used his shield to block his flying blades.

The old wolf didn't care whether the other party was an old man or a child, the iron axe in his hand slashed at the other party's left arm without a shield, a tooth-sore sound sounded, the sharp axe blade cut off the opponent's left forearm, the pain made his brain blank, and his right hand naturally threw the knife away, covering the broken left arm, "Ah! —" Before his shout could last five seconds, the old wolf's axe slashed directly at his neck, ending his pain.

Wang Rong watched the whole process of how a veteran solved a child, a new soldier, although he felt uncomfortable, he knew that this was the way to survive on the battlefield, except for you to live or die, there was nothing else.
