Chapter 229: The heroes of Liangshan fought the Jin Army in blood
Soon after Shi Wengong and his troops withdrew to the city, the Jin soldiers launched a second wave of attacks.
In this attack, the quantity and quality of the golden soldiers are higher, among which there are many fewer cannon fodder, and there are a lot more real soldiers, especially those who have been parasitized by demons, and the weakest ones are equivalent to dark warriors, and some of them already have the combat power of chemical warriors.
In addition, this time there are a lot more siege equipment, especially those tower shields, which look like there are at least hundreds, all of which are more than five meters high, made of thick wooden planks, and pasted with a layer of mud, these wet mud can make those rockets that shoot on them unable to ignite these tower shields, and the thick wooden planks can make most arrows unable to penetrate these tower shields.
And a large number of Jin soldiers hid behind these tower shields and slowly approached the city wall of Zhending Mansion.
In order to kill and injure as many enemy forces as possible before the enemy approached the city wall, Song Jiang and Shi Wengong let dozens of catapults and bed crossbows on the city wall fire continuously, trying to smash those tower shields before the crossbowmen could shoot the Jin soldiers hiding in the rear.
After destroying the three tower shields, the Jin army also launched a lot of catapults and bed crossbows to shoot at the defenders on the city wall, and there were also hundreds of small giants with a height of more than three meters, throwing stones on the city wall.
Those little giant-like Jin Army soldiers are obviously also affected by the demons in their bodies, so their size will become so big, and as their size continues to grow, their strength is also increasing day by day, and at this time, they can make a cameo appearance as a humanoid catapult.
In the midst of this fire, many catapults and bed crossbows were soon smashed on the walls, and hundreds of soldiers who operated them were killed and wounded.
And because of the enemy's slingers and bed crossbows, in the end, more than 50 tower shields were successfully pushed under the city wall, and then a large number of Jin soldiers hiding behind these tower shields swarmed out, either climbing up with ladders, or simply climbing towards the city with their bare hands.
Those Jin soldiers who climbed with their bare hands, their hands and feet were mutated and gave birth to sharp claws, these claws were as hard as steel, and they could be inserted into the solid stone city wall with a force, making those Jin soldiers climb above the city wall as quickly as geckos, even if the defenders on the city wall were desperately throwing arrows and smashing down with rolling logs, but those Jin soldiers who had mutated like beasts were always able to find a way to dodge under such dense blocking fire. In less than a minute, dozens of Jin soldiers climbed the city wall with their bare hands, and one by one they jumped onto the wall like wild beasts, roaring and killing the defenders at the wall.
Fortunately, the defenders in this city were either Shi Wengong's subordinates or Song Jiang's subordinates, among whom Shi Wengong had led his soldiers to repel the Jin army's attacks many times, so those soldiers had a very psychological advantage in the face of the Jin army, even if the enemy looked so fierce and vicious, they dared to fight.
And Song Jiang is good at boosting the morale of the soldiers, so at this time, although he is a little unsuitable for dealing with these Jin soldiers who have been parasitized by demons, they have not retreated one by one, and they all stick to the city and start a fierce battle with these Jin soldiers.
"Kill!"
Guo Bin, who had already risen to the rank of thousand-commander, roared, and at the same time stabbed the steel gun in his hand with the five or six soldiers beside him at the same time as a soldier of the Jin Army who had just landed at the head of the city.
The spear head that was specially made into the shape of a three-edged armor-piercing cone had a very strong armor-piercing ability, and under the strong stabbing of those soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire, it pierced the iron armor on the Jin Army soldier at once, and the strongest of them, Guo Bin, pierced through his flesh with one shot, and the spear head was deeply embedded in the sternum of the Jin Army soldier.
However, even if the Jin soldier who had not established himself was stabbed in the body by five or six spears as soon as he came up, he still did not fall to death immediately, but kept waving his hands and feet, and the sharp claws on it slashed through the barrel of the gun made of stainless steel from time to time.
"Push!"
With Guo Bin's order again, five or six people worked together, and in one breath, the dying Jin Army soldiers pushed out of the wall, screaming and falling from the city wall more than ten meters high.
The fate of the other Jin soldiers was not very good, after all, the first batch of people to climb the city wall was only a few dozen, and the defenders on each wall were at least thousands, and most of those Jin soldiers were killed after barely holding on for a few seconds.
However, soon more golden soldiers began to climb the city wall, and as those ladders and siege towers were built on the city wall in large numbers, the golden soldiers began to pour into the city one by one, and the defenders on the city wall could no longer kill those Jin soldiers so easily, and occasionally even the defenders would be killed by those Jin army elites.
Seeing that the Jin soldiers rushed to the city one after another, making the battle on the city wall more and more intense, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng wanted to escort Song Jiang, who was not high in force, to withdraw from the city wall first.
But Song Jiang understood that the more critical the situation, the more senior military officials like him could not retreat, otherwise it would affect the morale of his own soldiers. In addition, Song Jiang still has a set of Mingguang armor rewarded by Ye Tianlong, this set of Mingguang armor is made of dark alloy that is not much in stock now, and it is extremely strong, and Song Jiang is still very confident in its defense.
Therefore, Song Jiang rejected the kindness of the two leaders of the guards, and still stayed in the city, calmly commanding the soldiers under his command to defend the city.
However, Song Jiang's younger brother Song Qing was very self-aware, knowing that he had neither the talent of a commander nor any brilliant martial arts, and it was purely a burden to continue to stay in the city, so he quickly took several other scribes with low military value to get off the city wall and retreat to the city.
At this point, only soldiers and generals who were not weak in force were left on the city walls. In order to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, Song Jiang sent out all the generals under him who had a little force value, and with these former leaders of Liangshan Shuibo as the backbone at the front, the other soldiers fought much more calmly in the face of those Jin soldiers.
However, soon, Wan Yan Agu saw that the soldiers under his command had fought for a long time and had not achieved much success, so he also sent a lot of fierce generals under his command, including many of Wan Yan's cronies. Most of these people are now high-ranking generals in the Jin country, but now they have also been sent out by Wanyan Agu and used as siege cannon fodder, which shows that they are really using their best under the persecution of that national teacher.
And as these many Jin generals also joined the siege, the pressure on the defenders on the city tower suddenly increased, and even those Liangshan leaders were in danger in the face of the onslaught of these Jin generals, and they were extremely difficult to deal with.
Even after a fierce battle for half a day, those Liangshan leaders even suffered casualties.
After a fierce battle for half a year, Kong Liang felt very tired, and a Pu knife in his hand couldn't help but swing slowly, but this was the opportunity found by the Jin army general opposite him, a spear stabbed out, right in Kong Liang's heart, and the heart guard on his chest was directly pierced by this fierce spear, and then the Jin army general roared and pushed Kong Liang back seven or eight steps, knocking over a large group of soldiers defending the city along the way.
Kong Liang's elder brother Maotou Xing Kong Ming saw that his younger brother's chest was pierced and he kept vomiting blood in his mouth, and he was suddenly in a hurry, waving the steel gun in his hand to force back the opponent in front of him and go to rescue his younger brother Kong Liang.
However, due to his ordinary martial arts, he was in a hurry to be caught by the Jin army general, and first deliberately retreated, so that Kong Ming could rest assured to go to rescue his younger brother, but after he turned around, he kicked a javelin on the ground that he didn't know who left behind.
After the javelin flew out, it stabbed into Kong Ming's back of the heart with a pop, causing his body to stagger, and he almost fell to the ground.
And just when Kong Ming endured the severe pain of the injury and finally stabilized his body, the Jin army general had already caught up quickly and cut off Kong Ming's head with a knife.
Song Jiang saw that his nominal two apprentices died in the blink of an eye, blood spilled on the field, and he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.
However, soon Song Jiang adjusted his mood, opened his eyes and continued to command the battle, and his henchman Li Kui was sent out by him, and he was also assisted by Bao Xu, the god of mourning, and soon the two Jin army generals who killed Kong Ming and Kong Liang were killed, so that the morale of the nearby soldiers recovered again.
However, Song Jiang had just stabilized the situation here, and on the other battlefield in the distance, Du Qian had just waved an iron rod to block a Jin army general from jumping at him, and a short Jin army soldier approached him with a short stature, and then the big knife in his hand slashed out hard, and immediately cut off Du Qian's legs from his thighs.
Du Qian, whose legs were cut off, screamed and fell, and after barely getting up in pain, this veteran of Liangshan suddenly discovered that he, a strong man who was more than two meters tall, was actually shorter than the soldiers around him after his legs were broken.
But fortunately, he didn't worry too much about it, because soon the golden soldier who attacked him made up for him in front of him, completely ending the life of the old general of Liangshan.
Yunli King Kong Song Wan saw his good buddy die tragically, he was so angry that he yelled, he was also tall and slashed out with an axe, splitting a golden soldier in front of him seven or eight meters away, and then he quickly stepped forward, dragging Du Qian's body and walking under the city wall, after all, the battle on the city wall was too fierce, he was afraid that if he let his friend's corpse stay here for a while longer, he was afraid that he would soon be trampled by the soldiers on both sides so that he couldn't see the human form at all.
And when Song Wan dragged his friend's corpse to the city wall, on the way, he happened to see Hu Sanniang's brother Hu Cheng was also besieged by several Jin army elites, because his martial arts were not very exquisite, so he still couldn't completely block the attack of those Jin army elites, and was smashed on the head by one of the Jin soldiers holding a mace, and the helmet on his head was directly smashed, and then the spiky mace scraped his left cheek hard, and his left eye was directly scratched, and the skin and flesh on his face were also scraped off a lot. You can see the white bones underneath.
Seeing that those golden soldiers were about to step forward and completely kill Hu Cheng, Song Wan hurriedly grabbed a spear that was only half cut from the ground and threw it at the fastest chasing golden soldier.
With a pop, the Jin soldier who was holding a mace and chasing the fastest was suddenly pierced through the chest by the spear thrown by Song Wan, and then his body was even more powerful by the spear that flew back several meters away, knocking down several comrades behind him.
Hu Sanniang also noticed that her brother was in danger at this time, and immediately performed light skills, and rushed here with a few vertical leaps, holding the sun and moon double knives, and hacked to death the few Jin soldiers who dared to hurt their brother Hu Cheng in a few moves.
The battlefield where she was originally located was due to her sudden departure, which led to a great increase in pressure, and the weakest Shi general Shi Yong's big knife in his hand was directly picked up by a Jin army, and then a shot was poked into his right eye, and the tip of the spear went straight through the skull, ending the life of the Liangshan leader on the spot.
Li Yun, the blue-eyed tiger on the side, couldn't help but feel bad when he saw this, and immediately wanted to retreat, after all, his martial arts were not much stronger than that Shi Yong! If you continue to stay, you will probably be killed by that golden general.
A golden soldier wanted to stop him, but with a wave of the Pu knife in Li Yun's hand, he directly cut the unknown soldier in half.
However, in such a short time, the Jin State general had already caught up, and a shot stabbed Li Yun in the right shoulder, causing his right arm to be directly hit hard, and he couldn't use any strength.
Seeing that Li Yun was soon about to follow in Shi Yong's footsteps and was killed by the Jin general, Hu Sanniang rushed back in time, and threw out a red soft whip in his hand, entangled Li Yun's body at once, and then pulled Li Yun from under the Jin general's gun, making his follow-up shot empty.
Han Shizhong also held an eyebrow knife at this time, and in three moves, he cut off the spear in the hand of the golden general, and then cut off his head with a horizontal slash.
"Song Wan, you quickly take a few of them down and settle down!"
Seeing that Han Shizhong had already dealt with the golden general, Hu Sanniang came to Song Wan with the dead Shi Yong and the seriously injured Li Yun, and handed over the two to this big man.
Li Yun grabbed a corpse with one hand, while Li Yun covered the wound on his right shoulder, and nervously followed Song Wan's side, and several people carefully avoided the surrounding fighting, and finally got down the city wall safely.
And the battle on the city wall is becoming more and more fierce at this time, and those high-level officials of the Jin Kingdom seem to really not take the lives of the soldiers seriously, and after a wave of soldiers and horses is consumed, another wave will be sent immediately, not giving the soldiers defending the city the slightest respite.
After fighting for a long time, the soldiers on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire, except for Li Kui, a freak who kills more and more spiritually, everyone else is very tired, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, so Song Jiang decided to let the reserve team go up after discussing it with Shi Wengong, and let those soldiers who were very tired from fighting retreat to repair.
However, due to the continuous onslaught of those Jin soldiers, it was not easy to get the troops to withdraw and change their defenses, and they could only come a little bit, and at the same time, Shi Wengong took seven or eight of the strongest innate warriors under his command to rush back and forth on the city wall, firmly restraining those Jin army generals with relatively strong strength, and giving other soldiers time to change their defenses.
