Chapter 049: The Battle of Terror

I'm Liu Bei.

At two o'clock (8:00 Beijing time), I stood on the corner tower of the southern city and noticed that the rebels under the city had moved.

The battle to defend the city is about to begin.

There was suddenly one more person on the high command platform under the city, and that person was dressed in silver armor, which was particularly dazzling in the sun. I couldn't see his appearance from a distance, but I could see that he was holding a small flag in each hand, and I saw him wave the small flag in his left hand upward. There was a commotion among the rebels. More than a dozen ladders were carried from behind to the front of the battle. What's even more terrifying is the launch of several giant wooden cars. I hurriedly called Ding Ping to ask.

"It's Shikou! They actually made a stone mouth. ”

"What is Shikou? You make it clear. I asked.

"A cart that can throw boulders. The boulder was thrown into the air, and then fell, which was extremely lethal to the city walls and houses, and if it hit the soldiers, it would be a blur of flesh and blood," Ding Ping said in fear.

"What's his range?" I said urgently.

"What's the range?"

"How far can you throw a stone?"

"Two hundred steps (one step is about 1.4m, one foot is about 0.23m, and one foot is about 2.3.m.) Check the information, the right to understand, do not like the ignorance) to 500 steps. It depends on the number of people on the rod and the size of the boulder. Ding Ping replied.

From afar, I felt the thief at the command platform wave a small flag with his right hand.

Immediately, a sparse drum beat was heard among the rebels, gradually becoming denser and faster, and the drums exploded like thunder among the rebels.

The cries of the rebels were also heard.

First, the archers on both sides of the front marched forward with the rhythm of the drums. Stop at about a hundred paces below the city and wind up. After the two bow formations, one person from each took a few steps away from the formation, facing the command platform and facing away from the south city. It should be to watch the command of the command station and give orders according to the flag order.

The archers shot arrows a hundred steps away from the city, not seeking every arrow to be hit, but seeking a small area of saturation attack. 10,000 people shoot at a small area at the same time, as long as the distance is reached, no matter how bad the bow skills are, everything in the range can be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows.

The drums were still thundering.

More than a dozen ladders were lifted by the soldiers and began to advance, followed by sword soldiers. The shouts of the sword soldiers came, very rhythmic.

The drums began to beat rapidly. The soldiers began to sprint with the ladder, and the swords behind them also ran to follow.

"Kill!" The shouting of killing under the southern city shook the sky, like a huge wave rushing in, which made my heart completely cold. 10,000 sword soldiers, how to resist?

"What to do? We don't have archers? Ding Ping looked at me and said hurriedly.

I was about to speak when several boulders flew through the sky, one of which fell like a meteorite. I stood in fright.

"Boom!"

Ding Ping was hit, and his entire upper body was crushed under the boulder. His legs twitched weakly a few times before he stopped. I saw a small stream of blood coming out of the stone.

Shocking!

Large boulders with a diameter of up to half a zhang are fired from the stone mouth (the ancient name of the stone throwing machine). The attack power is terrifying. Witnessing Ding Ping, who had been with him for many days, being killed by this terrifying machine, he was still resentful.

"Kill~! Kill them all! I drew my sword and brandished it and shouted at the soldiers defending the city. Qiu Ming and Zhang Defu didn't know where they came from, and they insisted on pulling me back to the yamen. It is said that it is to avoid the attack of Shikou.

"Let it go!" I yelled. But they dragged him down the city.

As I struggled, I saw that the rebels' ladder was approaching the moat.

"If you don't let go, I'll kill myself to show you!"

The two of them were so frightened by me that they dared to let go of their hands. I turned and went back to the wall.

"Be careful!"

I felt something flying in the sky. When I looked up, I saw countless arrows flying in the sky, raining down on me, covering me in their range.

At that moment, an object pressed me underneath, separating me with a golden bell jar within the range of the arrow cluster.

"No!" I yelled heartbreakingly.

Zhang Defu was face to face with me and pressed me under him. Blocked me from all the arrows that I ought to have endured.

"Defu, Defu!" I hugged him and yelled. Blood was streaming from the corners of his mouth, all over my face. It's hot. Tears welled up in my eyes.

"No!" I roared as I watched his wide-open eyes fade into light.

I slowly put down his corpse, got up and yelled at the city: "Yellow Turban thief, I'll fuck your ancestor!" ”

"My lord, if you don't leave, there will be no one to avenge the blood feud of Brother Zhang and Ding Sima!" Qiu Ming almost wanted to cry and shouted on his knees.

I gritted my teeth, glanced at Ding Ping under the stone and Zhang Defu with arrows on his back, and ran down the city.

Run away for revenge! I cried out in my heart: I can't take revenge with my own hands, I should kill myself to thank my brother's spirit in heaven.

Flying stones streaked across the sky like meteor showers. The sound of killing had numbed both ears.

As soon as he fled to the city, he collided with Li Hao.

"My lord, I have gathered a thousand elite cavalry in the northern city, you can withdraw quickly." Li Hao said urgently. He already had several blood marks on his body.

"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt? "I said worriedly.

"Nope. This blood is, it belongs to Zhang Sima. ”

"What about the third brother, what about the third brother? Did he have an accident, did he have a ......" I heard Zhang Fei bleeding, and I was already flustered, and I was even more speechless.

"It's okay! Feel relieved. In order to save me, Zhang Sima was hit by three arrows in the thigh. has been carried to the North City. Adults, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave! Li Hao said hurriedly.

"Li Sima, Ding Sima, he has ......"

"Brother Ding!" Li Hao roared. Said resolutely: "Brother Qiu, the lord will leave it to you." Be sure to bring the adults back to Beicheng safely. ”

"Li Sima, let's go together!" I pulled him along.

"No, I can't go!" I stared at him, a stiff smile on his face, knelt down and continued, "My lord treats me like a brother, and I should repay him with brotherly righteousness." In this life, there are adults who rule over us, and this life is not in vain. Li Hao remembered it in his heart. Please allow the lowly to stay and oversee the war! ”

I knew he was going to buy me more time for my retreat. "My lord, go quickly, if you wait for the enemy army to detour to the northern city, it will be dangerous." Li Hao arched his hand.

I let go of his arm, clasped his hand and cried, "Brother, go all the way!" This blood feud, he will let the rebels return ten times more one day! ”

Li Hao pushed me and urged: "Hurry up!" Come on! With that, he ran to the wall.

I caught a glimpse that the rebels had stormed the city. The soldiers defending the city are fighting bloodily. I glanced at the back of Li Hao running with a knife, and my heart was dripping blood.

"Let's go!" I yelled, turned around and rushed to Beicheng with Qiu Ming. There are still big stones flying all over the head, and from time to time a few arrows will hit the left and right, all of which are blocked by Qiu Ming with a ring-headed knife.

Today's defeat is a bloody lesson, and I Liu Bei will keep it in mind. On another day, the rebels will be paid back tenfold!
