Chapter 0267: The Shadow of the Great Shore
Morale is an emotion, and emotions are the strangest thing in the world.
It is like a terrible plague, always spreading in an instant, bad negative emotions can quickly destroy a person, destroy a battle-hardened army, destroy a team that was once invincible, and positive emotions can also make people break through the limits and burst out of incredible potential.
Ordinary people are still like this, not to mention the Great Song Western Army, which was originally a good combat force.
The fighting spirit has been ignited, the fierce fighting spirit is boiling on the battlefield, the soldiers and horses outside the east city are like awakened lions, overwhelmingly flocking to the Yongqing city wall, and the majestic shouts converge into a sound that pierces the hearts of the people, bringing huge psychological pressure to the Liao people at the head of the city.
Not enough, not enough!
There is only the determination to break the net in this voice, and there is no invincible self-confidence!
Zhao Bufan, who took the lead, was still silently chattering in his heart, his eyes were like a fierce beast staring at his prey, holding an iron shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, his pace was brisk, but he did not break away from the large group of soldiers behind him, and quickly approached the city wall in a uniform manner.
At this time, the 1,000 men and horses of the entire Liangshan Army Guard Battalion were also divided into four small phalanxes, and he rushed to the front with the first formation, Hao Siwen on the left, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng on the right, the four formations of men and horses were fast but not chaotic, brave and reasonable.
As they got closer and closer to the city wall, Zhao Bufan's breathing became more and more rapid, he deeply knew that in this kind of large-scale war, personal force seemed so small, if ten thousand arrows were fired together, even if the martial arts were world-beating, they would also be shot into hedgehogs.
Wu Yanguang's figure soon appeared at the head of the city, apparently a Liao general recognized his identity, a large number of archers were already on standby, just waiting for him to enter the firing range, and he could also feel that many people were aiming at his phalanx, the purpose was self-evident.
Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired on the wall of the Liao Kingdom, and the black and oppressive arrows covered the sky and the sun, and they were thrown head-on, as if the sky was darkened.
"Collect !!"
Zhao Bufan roared, his body retreated sharply, and he quickly squeezed into a ball with the ten soldiers behind him.
He and the three soldiers at the front raised their shields to block the front, the middle three raised their shields to block the sky, and the remaining four blocked the two sides, shaped like dense iron buckets, protecting everyone in it, and the speed of everyone slowed down, keeping the same pace, bowing and advancing.
"Bell! bell!"
The dense rain of arrows was all blocked by this shield array that resembled a turtle's shell.
The soldiers of the 1,000 guards battalion also cooperated with each other in this way, more than ten people formed a shield array, twenty-five small shield arrays formed a phalanx, and the four phalanxes advanced in an orderly manner, which did not let the bows and arrows of the Liao people bring much damage at all.
This scene made the Liao soldiers at the head of the city also recognize them, and the panicked shouts came one after another.
"Liangshan Army! This is the Liangshan Army's !!"
"Zhao Bufan is here!!Shoot quickly!!Shoot him quickly!!"
"Don't panic! Don't panic, everyone! We hold on to the city, Zhao Bufan can't come up!"
"Everyone concentrated on shooting Zhao Bufan and killed Zhao Bufan, the Song people are just a group of lowly inferior people!"
These panicked roars faintly reached the ears of the soldiers of the Western Army who followed from afar, making them feel incredible.
The people of Liao are actually afraid?
Are they actually afraid of Zhao Bufan?
The people of Liao would be so afraid of a Song person?
The confidence of victory gradually grew in the hearts of the officers and men of the Western Army......
At this time, Zhao Bufan, who was at the forefront, had already rushed to the city, and through the slight gap between the shield arrays, he observed that the Song army's earlier siege troops were mainly concentrated on the left and right sides of the Yongqing city wall, while the large section of the city wall centered on the city gate was relatively empty, and it was also the most dense place for the Liao State to defend the city.
However, the Song army should have also launched a strong assault on the city gate earlier, because there are a lot of hook ladders scattered here, and there are also many broken heavy rush vehicles and siege towers, and the main city gate is already very dilapidated, and the iron sheet is dented in many places, which is obviously the result of heavy punching vehicles.
After some observation, Zhao Bufan immediately made a decision and roared.
"Hao Siwen, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, you lead people to pick up the hook ladder and go to the city to cover, and I will take the brothers to rush open the city gate!!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers and horses of the three were very close to each other, so they could naturally hear the orders and respond one after another.
Zhao Bufan took a deep breath, suddenly broke away from the brigade with his shield on his head, and ran wildly towards the lightest damaged heavy rushing vehicle.
"Twenty brothers in the front row rushed with me to the city, and the rest took cover with shields. ”
Zhao Bufan and twenty warriors ran to both sides of the rushing cart, gritted their teeth and pushed the huge rushing cart forward, while more soldiers were guarding them with shields against the boiling oil and falling rocks and rolling wood at the head of the city.
It is a heavy-duty truck with sixteen wheels, a roof like a roof, low on both sides and high in the middle, covered with thick cooked cowhide that has been boiled through dozens of processes, which is not only resistant to fire, but also resistant to arrow penetration, and the bracket is also made of fine iron, making it difficult to smash the car with rolling stones and sassalwood. In the middle of the car, a flat giant log is suspended, tied to the bracket with a rope, which can only move back and forth, not swaying from side to side, and the front end of the giant wood is also nailed with iron to strengthen the impact.
At this moment, the top of this heavy punch truck has been greatly damaged, which can block the rolling stone and wood, but it can no longer block the boiling oil and boiling water, so it is all up to the comrades to protect their heads with shields, so as to avoid the damage caused by the hot oil and boiling water.
Zhao Bufan personally went into battle, unconditionally trusted his companions beside him, grabbed the crossbar in front of him, and pushed forward with all his might.
"One-two! go!!"
"One-two! go!!"
Twenty big men stood around the rushing car, shouting slogans in unison, pushing the heavy rushing car slowly close to the city gate.
The rolling stones and sassalwood overhead fell as if they were desperate, and the roof of the car clanged, and the thick iron beams became more and more bent and unbearable, and from time to time huge iron nails were smashed off, and if these iron pillars were smashed, the rolling stones and sassal wood would fall on people's heads.
But the brave soldiers of the Liangshan Army had no timidity, no fear, and didn't even care about those, at this time they had put life and death aside, and there was only one thought in their hearts, and there was only one goal in their eyes, that is, the city gate.
"Bang!"
An iron beam at the front right end was broken, and the warriors of the Liangshan Army located below were killed on the spot by rolling logs.
The people who followed him shouted angrily, and without hesitation, they pushed him to his place and continued to push the cart forward, and four or five brothers also crowded here with shields, and at the same time raised their shields, and used their flesh and blood to support a solid barrier for their comrades.
"Brother, let's go!!"
With a roar, everyone didn't look at the fallen comrades, and continued to move forward with tears in their eyes, continuing to push the heavy rushing car, staring at the city gate in front of them with fierce eyes, gritting their teeth and turning everything into an invincible force.
Rolling stones and sassalwood could not smash their determination, and boiling oil and boiling water could not stop their progress.
One after another fell, one after another came up!
Successive, fearless and dangerous!
When the rushing car advanced to the front of the city gate, Zhao Bufan resolutely threw away the shield and spear in his hand, jumped on the rushing car, and hugged the hanging giant tree, and more soldiers also rushed up, scrambling to grab every inch of the giant tree, and countless pairs of powerful arms gathered together.
"For the !! of the Great Song Dynasty"
Zhao Bufan let out an exhilarating roar, like the horn of advancement, and everyone worked hard, pulling or pushing, pulling up the hanging giant tree and slamming it into the city gate.
"Bell!!"
The heavy iron gate made a strange whistling sound under the impact of the giant tree, as if it were trembling, as if crying in the strong will of the warriors.
"For the !! of China"
Zhao Bufan roared, the green tendons on his neck bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he led many Liangshan soldiers to hit the city gate again and again with a giant tree, and hit the iron gate that blocked everyone's way again and again.
More and more people are falling, and more and more warriors are sleeping forever at the gates!
Even Zhao Bufan's right arm was splashed with boiling oil, if it weren't for the arms of the White Tiger Devouring Cloud Armor to cover it, his hand would probably turn into a piece of rotten meat in an instant.
But no one is afraid, no one is afraid, they are still so determined, they are still so desperate, their faces are still so resolute.
Nothing can stop them from being determined at this moment!
Nothing can stop their will at this moment!
"Bang!!"
With a loud bang, the gate of Yongqing could no longer withstand their impact and collapsed.
Zhao Bufan flew back and drew his war spear, like a gust of wind swept into the passage of the city gate.
"Kill!!"
"Kill !!"
The soldiers of the Guards Battalion let out a roar as loud as thunder, and rushed to the Liao soldiers in the passage, and they followed closely behind Zhao Bufan, like a bamboo, killing the Liao soldiers and retreating, and quickly rushed out of the city gate passage.
At this time, Zhao Bufan didn't think about anything, after rushing out of the city gate, he waved his iron spear and fought all the way along the stone stairs to the city, and when the Liao soldiers were panicking, he led the soldiers of the guard battalion to kill the head of the city from under the city, and seized the city tower at a very fast speed.
At this time, his robe and armor were already stained red with blood, and he walked step by step to the highest point of the castle tower.
Looking at the Great Song soldiers who are surging like ants under the city!
Look at the fierce battle at the head of the city!
He took a deep breath and raised his spear sharply, screaming loudly.
"I, Zhao Bufan, am already standing here, standing at the head of the Liao people, where are my compatriots and my brothers!!"
Countless soldiers saw this scene.
They saw a lonely figure standing on top of the tower.
The blood-stained robe fluttered in the wind, like the battle flag that guides the way!
The spear pointed diagonally at the sky, like a lamp that illuminates the way ahead!
The small flesh and blood body is so majestic, like a giant standing between heaven and earth!
A moment of silence......
Whether it was the Liao people or the Song people, they were all stunned.
This is a fatal blow to the Liao people, and this is the best encouragement to the Song people!
The action speaks for itself!
A moment later, the entire Dongcheng battlefield boiled, and the soldiers of the Western Army broke out completely......
