Chapter 152: The wolf drum shook the sky and the wind and rain, and the city was full of blood and smoke

Seeing the ladders and hooks of the Tiande soldiers appear on the city wall, the nearby Nanqi soldiers drew their waist knives one after another and cut them according to the ropes behind the hooks.

However, to their surprise, the waist knife was slashed on the rope, except for a few ropes that were cut, most of the ropes were only cut out of a small gap, and the waist knife in the hands of many Nanqi soldiers was bounced high.

Naturally, they didn't know that the hook rope of the Tiande people was not an ordinary rope, but was woven with hemp rope boiled in tung oil and cooked beef tendons, which was extremely tough. Even if an ordinary sword is slashed at it, it cannot be cut off immediately in a short period of time.

Although the rope of the Tiande people is tough, it is not injure, and it will still be cut if it is slashed too much. The Tiande soldiers knew this well, and as soon as they hooked the city wall, they immediately struggled to climb upward.

They bite their sabers in their mouths, use their hands and feet together, and climb extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the fastest Tiande soldier had climbed halfway.

However, at this time, the geographical advantages of Taiyuan City were highlighted. The walls of Taiyuan City are tall and strong, and although the Tiande soldiers on the ropes are very good at climbing and fast, the city walls are too high to climb the top of the city for a while. And after such a long time, some ropes finally broke after being subjected to continuous slashing.

On the city wall, there began to be Tiande soldiers on the way to climb and began to fall, accompanied by terrible screams, the fallen Tiande soldiers fell heavily at the foot of the city wall, either dead or injured.

However, the number of Tiande soldiers is too much, often a few ropes have just been cut, and immediately a new hook flies up, and the soldiers of Nanqi can only keep waving broadswords to fight fires.

At the same time, many cloud ladders also set up the Taiyuan city wall under the cover of Tiande archers, and then Tiande soldiers grabbed the cloud ladders and climbed up.

The threat of the cloud ladder is even better than scratching the hook, and as a last resort, the soldiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty once again divided a wave of manpower, using the rolling wood and stone stored on the city wall to block the Tiande soldiers on the cloud ladder.

Rolling wood and stones rolled down, and the Tiande soldier who was hit immediately broke his head and fell down screaming.

In the sky above the battlefield, arrows came and went, big stones roared, giant crossbows flew quickly, in Tiande's camp, from time to time there were soldiers who fell to the ground and died, and on the city wall, there were also many Nanqi soldiers who were shot by Tiande's bow and arrow, and fell from the high city wall, falling into a blur of flesh and blood.

On the battlefield, human life becomes the most worthless and vulnerable existence.

In the tent of the Tiande Chinese army, Yelu Tailong sat on a horse and looked at the tragic battlefield in front of him from a distance. The military horses that attacked the city this time were mainly from the Flying Tiger and Wild Bear tribesmen.

The Flying Tiger Division ranks third in strength among the eight divisions of Tiande, only after the Heavenly Wolf and the Wild Horse, the warriors in the division are extremely brave and good at bow hunting. Although the strength of the Wild Bear Department is weak, it is the only army among the eight divisions of Tiande that has experience in many sieges. Together, these two forces are not to be underestimated.

As the second gate to enter the Southern Qi Dynasty, Taiyuan City is not as dangerous as Tianguan, but it is also a rare male city in the south. It has also been painstakingly managed by the hussar general Hu Chao for many years, and the city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Yelu Tailon's dispatch of the Flying Tiger and the Wild Bear was a choice made in response to this situation.

From a distance, the Taiyuan city wall is like a giant beast shrouded in a big net, and countless black spots are slowly approaching the city's head, and these black spots are dense

It was dense and connected, as if it was going to eat and swallow Taiyuan City bit by bit.

"Beat the wolf drum!" Yelu Tailong shouted, "Cheer for the warriors of my city!"

咣 ~ 咣 ~ 咣~

The continuous and majestic drums sounded, one after another, stimulating the eardrums of everyone present, and the majestic and heavy drums beat on the hearts of the Tiande soldiers, making their blood boiling and surging.

"Kill, kill, kill!" a deafening roar rang out from the military formation.

Millions of people shouted in unison, the heavens and the earth echoed, and the mountains trembled. The soldiers of the Flying Tiger and Wild Bear who were besieging the city became more and more fearless of death, and the speed of ascending the city became a little faster.

This change greatly increased the pressure on the Southern Qi defenders at the head of the city, and several generals shouted loudly, and the shooting of the Southern Qi arrow array immediately accelerated.

After several rounds of dense arrow rain, the Tiande soldiers under the city suffered heavy casualties. However, behind them, the soldiers of the Southern Qi continued to rush forward.

However, after suffering a few losses, Tiande people have learned a few points. They no longer form a dense formation, but form several teams, stretch the formation apart, and attack in waves and batches.

As a result, the coverage area of the Southern Qi Arrow Array became smaller, the power of the Arrow Array was greatly reduced, and the casualties of the Tiande soldiers were also reduced a lot.

already had a numerical advantage, but at this moment, he was inspired by the wolf drum of the Heavenly Wolf Emperor, and the morale of the Tiande soldiers and horses was greatly boosted, and the momentum of the attack rose again and again. In the line of sight, the Tiande soldiers in the front row had gradually approached the city, only a few steps away from the city.

At the critical moment, the soldiers of Nanqi rushed forward one after another, stabbing with spears in their hands, and several Tiande soldiers were stabbed down before they could dodge, and they died on the spot. When the Tiande soldiers under the city saw it, they opened their bows and shot arrows one after another to cover the clansmen who had ascended the city, and several Nanqi soldiers were immediately shot into hedgehogs as soon as they leaned out.

The city wall is more than hundreds of meters long, and there are thousands of Tiande soldiers who climb it, and such a narrow front makes the Southern Qi soldiers unable to defend themselves. Coupled with the cover of the Tiande archers under the city, the Tiande soldiers are getting closer and closer to the city.

After a while, finally, the first Tiande soldier dodged a spear with his head sideways, stretched out his hand to climb the head of the city and jumped up, in mid-air, he took off the saber in his mouth, roared, and threw himself towards the Nanqi soldier.

There is no suspense, this heroic Southern Qi soldier was alone, and was soon dismembered by the defenders of Southern Qi, but with him taking the lead in the city, the Tiande army was deeply encouraged, and the morale was even better, and then more Tiande soldiers climbed the wall of Taiyuan City, and a bloody battle at the head of the city began.

Although the number of Tiande soldiers who climbed to the top of the city was small, with their containment, the pressure on the Tiande soldiers in the climb was greatly reduced. They increased the speed of their climbing, and gradually, like a snowball, the Tiande soldiers on the city became more and more numerous.

"Attack!" Behind Yelu Tailong, the Eagle Lord Coco shouted loudly, "Your Majesty's divine power is overwhelming, as soon as the wolf drum is beaten, my Tiande warriors will immediately attack the Taiyuan City Wall!

"Hahahaha. Yelu Tyrone let out a hearty laugh: "Coco, you don't want to slap the sycophants! In this siege, the warriors of the Flying Tiger Department and the Wild Bear Department have made great contributions, and I am just beating the side drum!"

Even though he said this, everyone present could hear it, and his flattery to Coco was still very useful.

Ulilahan of the Flying Tiger Department and Chaganbala of the Wild Bear Department glanced at each other, and at the same time, they lined up and bowed: "Your Majesty is too humble!

With the blessing of Your Majesty's divine might, our two departments will definitely not be able to climb the city wall so smoothly! Your Majesty's divine power is like this, and my heavenly virtue will surely dominate the world and live forever!"

Yelu Tyron let out a hearty laugh again: "Immediately issue a military order, so that the whole army is ready! Just wait for our warriors to occupy the city, open the city gates, and then drive straight into the Taiyuan!"

"Yes!" the beast lords shouted in unison.

At this moment, on the city wall, Li Chengde is leading a team of his subordinates to fight with several Tiande soldiers.

Although Li Hengchuan redivided and arranged the defense area after absorbing the soldiers and horses of the other four cities, he still appointed Li Chengde as the chief general on the city wall near the city gate.

After all, such an important area as the city gate should be controlled by its own people.

On this section of the city wall near the city gate, there are not many Tiande soldiers who climb up. First of all, because there are corner towers here, the terrain is more dangerous, and it is more difficult to climb. The second reason is that it is also more heavily protected. Archers are hidden in the turrets, which can support the nearby city walls, and the two turrets watch each other, which can form crossfire, and even if the Tiande soldiers can climb up, they will be attacked fiercely.

Li Chengde's subordinates are all the defenders of the original Taiyuan City, and they are all elite soldiers, and as Li Hengchuan's cronies, their military equipment has also been tilted to a certain extent.

So at this moment, within the Li Chengde defense area, the Southern Qi soldiers firmly had the advantage, and the Tiande soldiers were divided by the soldiers under him, surrounded by groups, and were struggling.

The bright sword flashed, and the blood on the neck of a Tiande soldier spurted wildly, and he fell to the ground with a thud, Li Chengde looked back and shouted: "Hurry up and clear the remaining enemies and support the defenders on both wings!"

"Yes!" the troops shouted in unison, killing the enemy with all their might.

In the blink of an eye, the remnants of Tiande in the section of the city gate have all been emptied.

Li Chengde ordered his subordinates to stay here and personally led a team of men and horses to support the left flank.

On their left flank was the reinforcements of Luosong City, and the commander was a school captain.

Due to the erection of several ladders here, there were relatively more Tiande soldiers rushing up. The bravery of the Tiande soldiers is famous all over the world, hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Luozon army are not dominant, and there are still a considerable number of archers in the Luozon army, and the military situation in this defense area has become precarious for a while.

Li Chengde's assistance undoubtedly helped the Luo Song army to relieve the siege. The soldiers under his command were like wolves and tigers, and they were extremely brave, and they plunged into the battlefield with a sharp aura.

The addition of this new force made the Tiande soldiers suddenly fall into a bitter battle, they climbed for a long time before they climbed the city wall, and the physical strength itself consumed a lot, the Southern Qi army waited for work, coupled with the arrow rain attack of the corner tower, this part of the Tiande army suddenly fell into the disadvantage.

The sword in Li Chengde's hand flickered, and the Tiande soldiers who were blocking him fell one after another. He led his subordinates across the river like a raptor, and suddenly divided the formation of Tiande soldiers into two.

When the Luo Song army saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought back one after another, and immediately surrounded the Tiande soldiers on the head of the city.

As the minutes passed, the situation in the city gradually stabilized.
