Chapter 440: Hold on

Qin Ke smiled slightly: "Where is this, the fourth uncle is the one who is really not easy." As he spoke, he took a few steps towards the city, and saw that the countless corpses under the city were overlapping each other, some of which had already been scorched with fire oil, and their faces were painful and mutilated, which was unbearable to witness.

Qin Ke had seen this scene.

On the way to escape from the famine, they happened to be caught up in the chaos, and countless soldiers held weapons and charged down from the hillside, like an iron tide. Countless shouts of killing and the sound of flesh being torn apart drowned out the crows' cries in the valley, and the flying flesh covered the heavens and the earth.

If it weren't for the fact that his father carried him on his back, ran wildly all the way, and finally accidentally fell into the trench of the battlefield, avoiding the sword and sword shadows in the sky, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago, and there would be no more things that followed.

And now, once again, he found himself still full of disgust for such things as war.

Holding the Bodhisattva sword in his hand, he has always thought that he has used it to take the lives of some people again and again, in order to protect more people, for a morality in his heart, not simply to kill someone, for some kind of ** or hatred.

"Is it really worth it to let so many people die just to fight for the world?" Qin Ke said in a low voice.

Gong Yicha shook his head and said disapprerovingly: "Children's words, if the world is not unified for a day, it will be impossible for the war to stop for a day, and any country that puts down its swords and soldiers can only become fish and meat on the chopping board of others." The Mo family inherited the will of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and should have been the lord of the world, and the two generations of giants have worked hard to suppress several princes and laid down the territory that is the first in the world today.

He said coldly again, "But...... This time, the Tang Kingdom slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of my Mo family, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely personally ride a horse into the capital of the Tang Kingdom, pull down the Li Qiuhuang who was sitting on the chair, and fight to the death!"

"I ......" Qin Ke opened his mouth, and finally couldn't say a word, he didn't understand what the public lost to the emperor's will, what the world was unified.

As for what face to use to meet the ancestors, he is noncommittal, whether there is a netherworld in this world, and whether people can meet again after death is impossible to investigate, after all, any information about the afterlife that he has heard so far is too mysterious...... Besides, if it is really as it is said in the book, why do people in the world want to try to live no matter how difficult and difficult it is, instead of begging for death and reuniting with their relatives underground?

However, he also knew that the public was not the same person as him, so there was no point in arguing.

He walked down the city in silence and set out to help the wounded soldiers who were still screaming in pain to heal their wounds.

Although he is not as good as a doctor, when he was in Daoxiang Village, he boiled medicine for his master every day, and he also deliberately read the "Hundred Herbs" carefully, and knew a lot of herbs, and people who practice qi and blood are more familiar with the human body than others, and they are also easy to stop bleeding acupoints and meridians.

The doctor in the army was already very busy, and of course he was very grateful for the help of someone like him, and he would not say anything.

Because of the shortage of manpower, many people were slightly injured, and their heads and hands were wrapped in gauze, but they still had to continue to climb the city to fight, and Qin Ke also knew very well that many of them might never be able to leave this city again......

But Jinzhou is their only place to live, in order to defend Jinzhou and the homeland behind them, they have no other way but to fight to the death.

Qin Ke couldn't help but think of the group of people guarding the Great Wall in the north, and his mind gradually sketched their solemn and firm backs under the reflection of the desolate sunset.

They are not for the country, not for the family, but just to build an iron wall of flesh and blood, silently guarding the thousands of Li people behind them...... It's a pity that when they fought with those evil beasts and their lives hung by a thread, could they think that those people they had fought bloodily to save were attacking the city and fighting each other for the so-called "righteousness" and "unification" at this moment......

Two hours later, the Tang army attacked again.

Different from the first time, this time the momentum of the Tang army was even more fierce, and tens of thousands of troops not only attacked the city gate where Gongchuan Cha was located, but also launched an attack on the east gate and the west gate at the same time.

The Tang soldiers were outnumbered, the sound of killing shook the sky, the shield reflected the sunlight and showed a death-like dazzling white, and the bed crossbow continued to release the thick crossbow arrows, but the target was no longer these soldiers, but the rushing car surrounded by four teams of soldiers.

The outside of the rushing car was covered with a layer of cowhide planks, and ordinary arrows could not penetrate it at all, and could only be stuck on the surface, but under the impetus of the Tang army's chorus of shouts, the rushing car rushed forward at a fast speed.

"Aim at the rushing car!" Gong Chuan shouted, and his heart twitched when he saw the three rushing cars approaching like three raging bison. Perhaps his shouting worked, and the already nervous soldier finally shot the rushing car, three sharp crossbow arrows sinked into the top of the rushing car, and the arrows almost fell on the sharp city-breaking ram.

Although this handle was not enough to tear open the shell of the entire rushing car, the power attached to the crossbow arrow was far more terrifying than Tang Jun imagined.

It's just that it's not as light as a rabbit, and after the squeaky sound, there is the sound of the entire rushing car overturning, and several Tang soldiers can't react, and they are overwhelmed by the heavy rushing car, and then the huge battering ram smashes down their heads and faces, and several people's brains are shattered on the spot, and flesh and blood fly.

The defenders of the city cheered, and then fired several arrows to overturn a rushing car again, but the public lost his brows, and in just a dozen breaths, the last rushing car had finally arrived under the city.

"Gong Yi Liang!" Gong Yi Cha shouted the name of his junior, "You take your men to hold the gate!"

At this time, the heavy rushing car had begun to pound the city gate violently, and a huge force almost caused the entire city to tremble with a bang.

However, the public inspection also knew that the city gate of Jinzhou was not so fragile, and it was not easy to break through the city gate with a rushing car.

The bed crossbow could no longer shoot the rushing car, so he sharply ordered: "Pour the fire oil!"

A large amount of fire oil prepared by Yin Xue earlier naturally came in handy at this time, and after the fire oil poured down, fierce flames immediately rose on the rushing car, and many Tang soldiers hiding on both sides of the rushing car could not avoid it, and their whole bodies burned.

In such a fire, the wheels of the car also quickly collapsed, and after the rolling wood and stones fell, the top of the entire car had completely collapsed and could no longer play a role.

Compared with the side of the public inspection, the performance on the other two gates was obviously much more chaotic, and even under the continuous encouragement of the generals, it still showed a bit of collapse.

The city wall of Jinzhou is very wide, such a wide natural make the city defense strong, but too wide but also has the same disadvantage, that is, if the number of people is insufficient, many places will become loopholes and flaws in the city defense, this time the Tang army used a ladder car, once this heavy siege equipment is close to the city, it is almost impossible to pull it out.

Even if it is burned, it will be difficult to destroy it in a short time, so it can only be left to rest on the head of the city.

However, at this time, the mechanism that the public loser had been preparing for a long time played a huge role.

Among the equipment that Qin Ke and others transported to the city was a ballista, which seemed to be cumbersome and difficult to turn, and the operation alone required the cooperation of ten well-trained people, but once this thing was activated, the power was very amazing, each ballista could shoot nearly forty arrows at the same time when loaded, and the strength of each arrow far exceeded that of manpower.

The rain-like arrows suddenly covered the entire Tang Army's military array, and the follow-up reinforcements were so shot by such a dense rain of arrows that they couldn't raise their heads, and naturally the speed of ascending the city slowed down.

And even if someone managed to climb the ladder, they were greeted not only by the arrows and rolling stones of the archers at the head of the city, but also by the countless charcoal fires that had been lit and thrown down into the air.

The charcoal fire was like a rain of fire in the sky. Even if it is a tough man, under such a charcoal fire, the pain is unbearable, and many people have flames on their cowhide armor, and they fall down the ladder between unstable footing.

Seeing that the power of these weapons was so amazing, the defenders in the city were also shocked, and the hands holding the weapons seemed to have a little more strength.

Of course, Gong Zhicha knew the power of these weapons, took a deep breath, and led the people to rush towards the east of the city.

"Kill!"
