Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 105 Hopeless Charge
Chang Polu did not believe Captain Tianyao's words, there was no hope of charging, it was the most tragic suicide, and only the bravest soldiers, who fell into the most desperate situation, would launch such an action.
The Five Armies of Great Xia can bring their opponents the ultimate despair, but those who can have the courage to launch a hopeless charge can only be the bravest soldiers in Kyushu, the Five Armies of Great Xia.
"General Chang, you are from the south gate of Tianyao, and I will take you to the north gate to have a look. ”
Captain Tianzhen saw the suspicion in Chang Poyu's eyes and offered to take the old general to the north gate to inspect.
General Chang followed Captain Tianzhen suspiciously, climbed the north gate tower of Tianzhen City, and was suddenly speechless by the scene in front of him.
As soon as I looked at the past, from the city tower to the north, hundreds of steps away, there was a scorched earth, all kinds of corpses, lying together horizontally and vertically, and in dense places, there were many corpses stacked on top of each other.
Chang Poyu turned his head and asked Captain Tianyao,
"What's going on? Why don't you clean up the battlefield?"
Cleaning up the battlefield is not only to show benevolence, but also to prevent the plague that these corpses may bring, which is a death more terrible than the sword.
"General Chang, these outlaws may charge again at any time, and last time it was the murderers hiding in the charred corpses, who launched a surprise attack when we opened the door and left the city, and we killed many brothers before the city gate was closed again. ”
"Hmm", Chang Poyu frowned, looking at the section of Senluo Hell that stretched into the bushes in the distance, "How can these dead corpses have both the Iron Harrier of Xiqiang and the Fang Dun Infantry of Nanjun?"
"The general is wise, they did charge together. ”
"Did the old enemy Xiqiang and Fang Dun collude?" this worst assumption gradually rose in General Chang's mind.
It is not impossible, it can be said that the Northern Liang of that year also perished under the joint efforts of these two old enemies.
"In this way, the situation facing the victorious army has become even more severe......
While General Chang was pondering, suddenly the shouts of the sentinels came from the arrow tower at the head of the city,
"Enemy! The enemy is coming again!"
The people on the city tower followed the prestige, and sure enough, under the shaking of the bushes in the distance, many figures emerged from it one after another.
These figures seemed to have no soulless bodies, standing expressionlessly by the bushes, standing silently like lifeless statues.
Chang Poyu held his gaze, and sure enough, among these black shadows, some were riding heavily armored war horses, and some were wielding Nanjun's unique shield spears, but they neither communicated nor separated from each other.
Suddenly, almost instantly, all the black shadows began to move forward, and many figures used the same rhythm and the same speed to march towards the Tianyao City Defense together.
Captain Tianzhen stood up straight, ignoring the stump arm hanging on his shoulder, the enemy situation was the fire rope that ignited his fighting spirit, "General Chang, the last general will go to defend the city first." ”
As he spoke, he threw Chang Poyu a firm and combative back, as if he had never been injured.
"Hmm", General Chang nodded with satisfaction, regardless of the desperate dissuasion of his subordinates, he still insisted on staying on the city defense to observe the enemy's situation.
The figures that stepped on the corpses of their compatriots gradually began to accelerate, whether it was a war horse or a shield infantryman, stepping on the corpses of their comrades who had been charred by the Tianyan defenders before, ruthlessly trampling, making those originally charred corpses into powder floating in the air, and these black powders, covering those ruthless faces like walking corpses, became equally charred and terrifying.
The Tianqi defenders were panicked but not confused, because they had in their hands the firearms that the Great Xia Five Army was most proud of.
When the charging team was three hundred paces away from the city wall, Captain Tianyao's left arm raised the command flag, calculated the distance, and waved the command flag, and at the same time, several fire thunderbolts hidden behind the battlements of the city spewed out violent tongues of fire together.
The Fire Thunderbolt is the most relied on firearm that can kill a large number of enemies, ten spears that burn all over the body after firing are fired out in a salvo, and after one such Fire Thunderbolt is launched, it can fire five consecutive rounds of volleys, and fifty fire spears that can penetrate any heavy armor to build a meteor fire shower, not to mention flesh and blood, that is, chariots, iron weapons, will be smashed and smashed.
However, what makes people feel more terrifying than the deadly killing weapon that is invincible to this god and Buddha is that the black figures who continue to charge in the rain of arrows and spears and fire, once they are hit by the fire spear, the centaurs are penetrated like meat skewers, but whether it is the penetrated centaurs or those warriors who survived in the gaps of the fire spear, they did not make any sound, and the corpses that were pierced to the ground by the fire spear began to burn slowly, and those surviving black shadows, neither dodging nor accelerating, still continued to charge towards the north gate of Tianzhen according to the original route and speed.
Chang Poyu finally believed that these enemies of Great Xia could also launch a hopeless charge.
However, in the face of the experienced Captain Tianyao, these charges can only be called hopeless.
After the fire thunderbolt was launched, as the second command flag was waved in the captain's hand, the soldiers in charge of the cloud thunder flint opened the cloud and thunder shield they were responsible for, calculated the time of the charge, and lit their own cloud and thunder flint in turn.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Several sparks, like beating beasts, rushed forward along the ground, which was the second formation buried with explosive mines, and it was also the only way for the stormtrooper.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" Several earth-shattering loud noises, when the charging team entered the cloud thunder, they exploded at the same time, and a fast ground flew into the sky under the huge impact, of course, between these dusts, there were countless red flesh that had been blown into pieces.
The smoke and dust gradually settled, and the hundreds of figures who had started to charge at the beginning were still standing at the moment, and only a few people remained.
"Archer!" Captain Tianyao took out the third order flag, and the archers hiding at the battlement of the arrow tower had already drawn their bows like a full moon.
"Wait!" Chang Poyu suddenly stopped the archers, "the enemy at the front is left for me." ”
Immediately, the old general personally took his hard bow from his entourage, which was a horn bow that Tiankuihou personally gave to Chang Polu, which had harvested the lives of countless enemies for his master.
Chang Poyu pulled the bowstring with a creaky sound, and with a muffled bang, an arc like lightning flew out of the horn bow, poof, the figure in front was pierced through the thigh head-on, because the speed of the impact was too fast, and it rolled several times in a row when he fell to the ground before finally stopping.
"You go, bring this guy back alive!" Chang Poyu ordered the pro-guards around him to catch this live, and the pro-soldiers did not hesitate at all, and began to act.
"My lord, don't open the city gate at this time!" Captain Tianzhen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly dissuaded him, but he didn't expect his own soldiers to turn their heads back, "Who said that you want to open the city gate." ”
Faced with a terrible scene, Chang Poyu's pro-army knew that the relationship was very strong, and Chang Polu didn't need more instructions, this pro-army tied a rope around his waist, and let the soldiers defending the city pull the other end of the rope and put himself down from the city wall.
The soldiers found the figure whose leg bones had been broken by the arrows of the captives, carried him to the base of the city wall, and then tied the captive's waist with the rope that had been lowered from above, and instructed the soldiers above to pull the captive up the wall.
Just when the pro-soldier was about to tie another rope to himself, suddenly, a charred corpse next to him turned over, and the ambush soldier who had been hiding under him jumped up, hugged the pro-soldier's body from behind, and several other charred corpses also turned aside, and the ambush soldiers under the charred corpse jumped up one after another, rushed to the front of the pro-soldier, and began to tear the flesh and blood of the pro-soldier with their foul-smelling teeth.
When the pro-soldiers came down, they only wanted to catch the prisoners, and they did not carry weapons, and Chang Po on the city wall ordered the rest of the archers to find the fighters and angles, while continuing to personally set up the bow and release the arrows, and the sharp arrows roared down, and the ghosts who surrounded the pro-army were hit by arrows one after another, but I don't know if it was because they had been hungry for too long, or they were possessed by demons, and when the rain of arrows controlled the situation, the poor pro-soldier was torn off the epidermis of his face by such a group of people, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, and most of the bare flesh on his body was eaten away。
The soldier did not let out a scream, but pointed to the sky with trembling fingers, the blood on his body was still flowing, but his life had obviously come to an end.
Everyone on the city wall looked at each other, because the soldiers of the five armies understood that the gesture made by the soldiers was to get rid of the pain as soon as possible.
No one dared to fulfill this promise to his comrades, after all, this personal soldier was the personal follower of General Chang Polu, and no one dared to take his life.
But Chang Po roared angrily,
"Are you all dead? The military discipline of our five armies has reached a point where we can violate and fight at will?"
The angry Chang Poyu picked up the bow and arrow for the third time, and this arrow directly pierced the heart of the pro-soldier.
Under the city wall, a small pile of corpses was piled up in an instant.
The prisoner who had been brought up by his own soldiers had been tied up by the defenders.
"Are you a soldier from Nanjun or Xiqiang?"
Chang Polu's questioning was short and forceful, and he had just shot his own soldiers who had followed him for many years, making the old general lose his original patience.
But the captive didn't seem to care about Chang Po's anger at all, and still looked at the dim sky with empty eyes, and did not answer.
The soldier on the side was angry, waved his iron fist, and punched the prisoner's dark face a few times, a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of the prisoner's mouth, and the prisoner's eyes began to recover a little brightness.
He looked at the defenders who beat him, and then at Chang Polu behind the defenders, knowing that Chang Polu was a high-enough Daxia general, and said lightly, "I'm from Nanjun." ”
"Why did you collude with the enemy, and why did you send a hopeless charge to my Great Xia Yuyao?"
The enemy in Chang Polu's mouth naturally refers to those Xiqiang Iron Harrier Heavy Cavalry mixed in the charging team. The captive sneered,
"Lives are gone, you officials, don't force us to kill each other anymore. ”
"You haven't answered me yet, why did you launch such a pointless charge?"
"Because, because they are coming......" The captive apparently fell into some kind of terrible memory, and when the word "they" was spoken, his body began to tremble,
"They, they're really coming, we, we're all going to die......"
