When they entered within a hundred steps of the city, the archers in the Tang army's formation finally emerged from under their shields, and the bows and arrows they had already prepared for fire were also displayed at this moment.

One of the defenders poked out of the battlements, and was about to pull the string and release the arrow below, when an arrow immediately pierced his left eye with a sharp whistling sound and pierced his head, and then the defender weakly released the bow and arrow in his hand, and the whole person went limp, falling straight from the city, and was trampled under the feet of the Tang army.

The bed crossbow defending the city can no longer shoot so close, and the head of the city and the city have completely become a battlefield for the archers to fight to the death, although the arrows shot down from the city are more powerful than the arrows shot by the Tang army against the top, and sometimes they can even directly pass through the chest of the thickest armor of the Tang army, taking away their lives, but the number of the Tang army is large, and the successive servants make people feel that they can't finish killing.

The ladder was erected on the city wall, and the vanguard Tang army risked being killed by feather arrows and being stoned to death, holding their shields and struggling to climb upwards, while the Tang army below was constantly protecting their own archers, continuing to go up against the archers at the head of the city, creating opportunities for the robes.

After all, there are still fewer people in the hands of the public army, and they lack the quality that an iron army should have, and in the fierce offensive of the Tang army, they are suddenly a little afraid, and many archers only dare to lean against the wall of the city, and almost dare not take the lead.

"Don't be afraid of war!" "Don't be afraid of war!" Gong Chengcha shouted, raised his leg and kicked down an archer who was squatting at the head of the city holding his head and constantly begging for the blessing of the gods and ancestors, "It is useless to ask anyone! On the battlefield, you can either live or die! If you want to live, you can only rely on the weapons in your hands, once they break the city, none of you will survive!"

At this time, a Tang soldier climbed up from the cloud ladder, and the public lost the inspection without taking a closer look, the tiger in his hand was already out of the sheath, and with his turnaround and slashing, the broadsword slashed into the head of the Tang army, almost splitting the Tang army from top to bottom into two halves.

Then he roared even more, and the blade turned, and then slashed down from above!

Although he is not a great master cultivator who can be unstoppable in the army, but the qi and blood that have been cultivated for many years are still not to be underestimated, under such a knife, the cloud ladder collapsed when it landed, and the crack extended more than four feet downward, and many Tang soldiers who were still climbing on the cloud ladder could not even hold the cloud ladder because of this shock, and fell straight to the bottom.

Seeing the majesty of their own commander, the morale of the defenders grew, and in addition to the archers who still kept shooting arrows, the soldiers with swords were constantly carrying the stones that had been prepared at the head of the city and smashing them downward.

The stones thrown from top to bottom are not as good as the hundreds of pounds of boulders thrown by trebuchets, but they are far more accurate than trebuchets, when they hit the head of the Tang army, even if the Tang army has the protection of a helmet, they will inevitably be smashed to the skull, and some people are hit in the chest and fall straight down the ladder.

When they were in the air, they were still alive, and when they landed, they were already bones.

But the drums of war were still hurrying, and the Tang army continued to climb upwards until they rushed to the top of the city, and their knives came out with rage, slashing at the soldiers who were about to throw stones, and slashing him to death under the swords.

Blood splashed Tang Jun's body, he held the knife viciously, rushed to the city, raised his knife and slashed violently, and no one could stop him.

"Kill!" the countless Tang soldiers let out a common roar.

The entire city was filled with sword light and blood, and when looking down from the sky, it seemed that countless flowers of blood and fire were blooming.

The Tang army in front of him didn't even have time to raise his knife, a good head rose into the air, and the headless corpse spewed blood fountains, but it was quickly kicked aside by the public loss cha.

Seeing that he was so fierce, the second Tang sergeant subconsciously raised his shield to resist, but in front of the cultivation of the public loss inspection, such a move was meaningless, the tiger fell, the shield was broken, and the Tang soldier was even split in half with a shield.

Then he stomped his legs, and the whole person took five steps forward out of thin air, the movement was as fast as lightning, the blade rotated, and the blow tore open the chest of one person, and when he exerted his strength again, the tiger was submerged into the belly of the other person.

Blood splattered all over him, and he coldly pulled out the slashing tiger and continued to slash forward, no one could stop him.

The Tang army's climb to the city wall was already expected, but under the fierce momentum of the Tang army, the casualties of the defenders were far beyond his imagination. The Tang army that rushed up, each of them was brave and fearless, with a sword and a shield, and they even resisted the combined attack of the three of them.

On the other hand, on the side of the Gongyi Inspection, although the Gongchuan Cha is brave and unparalleled, 3,000 of the 5,000 people under his command are organized by those disaster victims, and these people have not been trained for a long time to fight, and they have long forgotten the stabbing, stabbing, splitting and other actions trained in the army, and only know that the wawa wawa screams and attacks, but it is difficult to produce obvious results.

However, their fighting spirit is not weaker than that of the Tang Army, some people even have a knife in the chest, bleeding profusely, but they still have to rush up with all their strength to hug the Tang Army, in the scuffle, both sides have already thrown down their weapons, nails, teeth, become their last means of fighting.

With a loud roar, the defender dragged the Tang army down the city together, and soon his body was submerged in the Tang army's array, and naturally he couldn't survive.

Gong Chuan Cha took the elite of his subordinates, even into dozens of zhang, each zhang had to leave at least one corpse of the Tang army, in a flash of the sword, the blood splattered out obscured his vision, in a trance, he seemed to see a sword flash, he shouted, and the tiger suddenly slashed out!

The man was obviously a little surprised, and in a hurry, he only had time to raise the long sword in his hand to resist, but the power on the tiger slaying was too great, and the man was actually slashed and fell.

And just when the public loser raised the tiger again, wanting to force the result, he heard a familiar voice: "The public loses the general and slow!"

Gong Yi Cha was slightly stunned, and finally found that it was Bai Qi who had just been separated from him who had eaten his knife, and in the chaos, he stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Qi up, and said, "How are you." ”

Bai Qi frowned and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, you gestured in time and didn't hit ......"

The two of them were back to back, looking around, their eyes were full of sword light, and their ears were full of shouts of killing, naturally they could not continue to chat in this situation, but rushed out again.

The strength of Bai Qi's subordinates can be said to be an elite, including the ink masters gathered from all directions, and a group of good men in the army under Gong Yicha, and he participated in the war at this time, which can be regarded as a timely rain.

After they joined the war group, the situation at the head of the city gradually stabilized, although the Tang army at the head of the city was brave, but after all, it was weak and was killed for a while.

Under the city wall, there were still countless Tang troops who struggled to climb up under the blows of arrows and stones, but they were splashed with water head-on, and just as they were still hesitating, they saw a flame fall from the sky.

The fire oil was quickly ignited in the flames, and in an instant it spread to the entire ladder, and countless terrible howls sounded, and the entire ladder became a path of flames.

Under the command of the public commander, the defenders lit the hook fir, which was a common instrument used by the Mohists in defending the city, like a hook, and when thrown, it could be hooked on the ladder and ignited the ladder.

As a result, many ladders also rose into flames in the process, and it was impossible to climb at all.

Just when the Tang army was chaotic under the city wall but had nothing to do, the defenders at the head of the city carried the straw pole and threw it downward with a torch.

The straw was dry, fluffy and flammable, and before it fell to the ground, it was already a fire, and the Tang army was crowded below like ants, and when they saw such flames falling but there was nowhere to hide, there was a wail.

At this time, the sound of gold was heard from the Tang army, and the war drums finally returned to calm from the hurry, and for a while, the Tang army retreated like a flood, leaving behind countless corpses, all the way to the range of bows and arrows.

"The Tang army has retreated!" someone shouted.

"The Tang army has retreated!" Such a scene was almost unbelievable, and for a while, everyone was jubilant, holding their weapons, and laughing loudly.

The flag was gradually devoured in the fire, and the flagpole stood alone, showing a bit of pity and depression, surrounded by corpses, many of whom were still wounded, but they were so happy, as if they had never been so happy in their lives.

And Gong Chuan Cha was holding a knife, standing at the head of the city, supporting Bai Qi, who was a little out of strength, after all, his cultivation was not as good as Gong Lose Cha, killing people all the way, after all, he was still a little tired, he looked at Gong Chuan Cha's serious eyes, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Gong Yi listened to the cheers behind him and shook his head slightly: "In my opinion, we are too happy too soon. This was just a test for the Tang army, which seemed to have suffered a fiasco, but the casualties were not particularly heavy. What's more, more than half of the 100,000 army has not moved, maybe Xiang Chu just wants to see Jinzhou's ability first. ”

Hearing this, the smile in Bai Qi's eyes also narrowed slightly, he knew that Gong Zhicha was right, and now the Tang army's retreat was only because it had lost its sharp spirit, and it would be difficult to win if it continued to fight, so he retreated and regrouped.

And when the Tang army attacks the city again, I am afraid that the offensive will be more fierce than now.

Although he believed Wang Xuanwei's words very much, such an offensive of the Tang army really did not look like it was not going to break the city. Maybe for Xiang Chu, it's not a big deal to break the city, right?

"But this time we held on, didn't we? Bai Qi looked at the Tang army who was still eyeing him, and could only shake his head helplessly, "Let's make them happy first, at least they can repel the enemy army, which is a great help to the morale of our army." ”

Gong Yicha nodded: "That's why I didn't pour cold water, compared to the Tang Army, our Jinzhou Army is just a miscellaneous army, the gap between the combat power is too big, if the morale is still low, I'm afraid it will really be defeated before the battle." ”

Bai Qi looked at his eyes and nodded slightly: "Fortunately, we still have the city defense equipment of the public loser, and we should be able to hold on for some days." ”

Gong Tsa nodded.

After that, Jinzhou began to take care of everything in the city.

This battle to defend the city seems to be won by Jinzhou, but after the public loses and calculates, he feels that the loss of their side is really not small, in the chaos of the army, the bed crossbow was cut down by six planes, only one can be repaired, but it also takes many days, it can only be unloaded, transported into the city.

And the army in his hands lost nearly 700 people in this round of attack, such a battle loss, it is really shocking, you know, the entire Jinzhou is now only 17,000 soldiers, this first battle killed nearly 700, it is really not good news.

The defenders in the city kept carrying the corpses back and forth, cleaning up the chaos at the head of the city, because they were afraid that the Tang army would take advantage of the situation and launch another attack, everyone was nervous and fast to do their own thing.

And the public loss inspector also waited for the person he had been waiting for.

"Fourth uncle. Qin Ke walked up to the city, seeing the situation around him, his heart was also not very calm, and when he saw Bai Qi, who was leaning against the city with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, he was even more shocked, but looking at his chest and abdomen moving slightly, he knew that he was just tired and resting, so he didn't bother.

"It's all here?" said the public.

"Yes. Qin Ke replied, "Yinxue asked me to hand over these to you, mainly by cars and crossbow cars, these are already all the inventory of the public loser, there is Yinxue in the south of the city to deliver it in person, and there are also people in the east and north of the city to deliver it, and it will probably not be long before it will be delivered." ”

Gong Yicha nodded and said, "It's quite timely, and it's not easy to do this in such a short time...... You thanked Yinxue for me. ”
