Chapter 84: The First Wave of Attacks
"Fight back! Fight back!" The archery battalion Qianhu Xiang An Yan was very angry, and under the condescending advantage, the archers of his own battalion were suppressed by the barbarians, and it was difficult to even fight back.
An archer poked his head out slightly, and an arrow swooped in, hitting the archer in the face. The brave archer threw his head upside down, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, and he had lost his life.
It's not that the archery skills of the barbarians are really magical to such a point, but that there are too many barbarians under the West City Gate, the barbarian army has more than 20,000 siege troops, and 10,000 are attacking the West City Gate, and the number of Chiyang Guard soldiers on the city wall is less than 3,000. The number of brute soldiers was more than three times that of the Chiyang soldiers. Moreover, the defenders of Chiyang City are basically new soldiers, and the barbarian soldiers are all veterans who have fought for many years.
"Damn!" Xiang An Yan glanced at the fallen archer, "Listen to me, don't poke your head out and use the brute dog as a target, every time you shoot an arrow, you only need to shoot from the battlements, there are so many brute soldiers below, why are you aiming so accurately?"
Xiang Anyan didn't look outside at all, but after setting up the bow, he raised his hand slightly and shot the bow and arrow, and didn't look at where the arrows flew.
"Whoosh!" The arrow shot at An Yan really found an unlucky ghost. A brute was about to raise his hand to shoot an arrow at the battlements of Chiyang City, when an arrow flew over and hit him in the eye socket, and the arrow came out of the back of his head. The arrows in the brute's hands did not shoot, and they fell to the ground along with the people. With a knock on the ground, the arrow actually shot out, hitting the ass of a brute in front of him.
"Ahh
"Bang!"
Under the cover of the fierce fire of their bows and arrows, the brute had lost some of his soldiers, and finally carried the ladder under the wall, and slammed it against the wall. Then immediately there were brutes who climbed the ladder and climbed up with great speed.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liyuan immediately roared: "Don't hide, the brute soldiers are coming." Pour the boiling oil down!
The two Great Qi soldiers immediately carried an iron pot and fell towards the cloud ladder.
The brute on the ladder saw the boiling oil falling, and hurriedly jumped down from the ladder, but even so, he still could not escape being drenched by the boiling oil. The hot oil poured through the brute's clothes, instantly scalding them. The brute rolled on the ground in agony.
"Hurry up!" roared Siriguelig.
The barbarians in the back immediately made up for it, and the other barbarians kept shooting arrows at the city walls. A soldier of the Red Sun Guard, who poked his head out to look under the wall, was shot squarely, his bow and arrow stuck in his chest, and fell headlong from the wall.
Xu Liyuan hurriedly threw down a torch, and the boiling oil that had just been poured down immediately burst into flames. The barbarians on the filler were covered with fire, and tumbled down the ladder in pain, but as a result, more and more boiling oil was stained on their bodies, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a burning man.
No matter how fierce the brute soldiers were, they couldn't withstand such a fierce fire, so they could only reluctantly withdraw from the range of boiling oil and burning.
Xu Liyuan had almost consumed most of the oil and gold juice before he could repel the first wave of the barbarian attack with difficulty. The barbarians threw down thousands of corpses and retreated out of range of the Chiyangwei archers.
The defenders of the West City Gate were no better, and under the attack of the barbarian arrows, the number of dead was no less than two hundred, and a large number of wounded. The panicked residents of Chiyang City under the city walls also suffered many casualties.
"Hurry up, put the pot back up! When the oil below burns, the brutes will immediately attack. Xu Liyuan shouted loudly.
Du Changgeng stood on the city tower and calmly looked at the barbarians in the distance. The barbarians are gathering, and the fire under the walls has begun to weaken. The next wave of attacks is coming.
Luo Xifeng took two family members and followed the little boy to the little boy's house, where there was a corpse in the hall, covered with a white cloth. Now the army is in chaos, and no one has the time to organize the funeral for the boy's family, so the body can only be parked at home.
The boy's mother fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was unconscious or dead.
Luo Xifeng probed the nostrils of the boy's mother who was lying on the ground with her hand, and only felt a very faint snort. Hurriedly press down the human acupoint. After a while, the boy's mother slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you alright?" asked Luo Xifeng.
The boy's mother didn't speak, and tears suddenly fell from her eyes.
"You can't do that. If you can't be resurrected from death, it's useless for you to be sad. You don't think about your body, you have to think about your children. If anything happens to you, your child will have no relatives in this world. So be it. Your mother and son will go with me to live in Du Mansion first, and after the war is over today, I will send someone to help you take care of your husband's funeral. Luo Xifeng said.
The boy's mother nodded.
In a forest outside Chiyang City, Du Xuan's 2,000 men and horses were all hidden in the woods. Two thousand men and horses, all as if they were still, did not make a sound.
Hu Benrui rode the dragon scale horse and galloped quickly into the woods: "Third Prince, the first wave of attacks of the barbarians has been blocked by Chiyang City. Now the barbarians are regrouping and preparing for a second wave of attacks. When are we going to go?"
"Wait. We have too few people. The barbarians still have 5,000 men and horses who have not moved. The siege of the city was not too damaged. We are out now, and it is easy to be dragged down by the barbarian army, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. Du Xuan shook his head, although he was anxious, he knew that now was not the best time to attack.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
The drums of war beat again, and the second wave of siege was about to begin. The barbarians had begun to approach the base of the wall.
Although the fire oil under the city walls had been burned out, the corpses were still smoking, and the foul smell of burning corpses was everywhere.
The body of a brute soldier who was not completely dead twitched slightly, and a whining howl of pain came from his throat.
Xi Ri Golige raised the scimitar in his hand and roared: "Attack!"
The barbarian army immediately poured towards Chiyang City like a tidal wave.
"Shoot!" On Chiyang City, Xu Liyuan also gave an order. A rain of arrows immediately rushed straight to the tide of brutes.
One by one, the brutes who ran ahead fell to the ground, but for the huge number of brutees, this loss was nothing. The barbarians also began to shoot back with their bows, and the dense arrows shrouded Chiyang City like a dark cloud.
