Chapter 288: Race Against Time
"Ahh
There was a figure howling miserably, constantly falling from the towering city wall, crossing a trajectory in the red sunset, and falling heavily at the base of the wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ladders hung on the wall battlements, one by one the soldiers with steel knives in their mouths scrambled to climb up, and then jumped up and waved the knife with their fleshy bodies surging over, and then, several spears stabbed over, penetrated the body of the Wu Dynasty soldier, forked him up, and pushed down the wall battlement.
Whoosh whoosh -
On the city wall, the archers protected by the sword and shield soldiers kept pulling their bows and arrows and shooting messy arrows downward, whistling across the sky and nailing to the ground, and blood splashed in the group of warrior soldiers who were still running on the ground. Behind the ground, the cavalry in the Jingdong army formation dismounted and shot at each other, and some of the arrows were nailed into the necks of the Liao archers behind them through the gaps in the shields, and blood splashed.
"Set the rolling logs on fire and smash them to death!!" a female voice sounded anxiously on the castle tower, commanding.
Then, a section of rolling wood was poured with fire oil and ignited, and while the flames were burning and rolling, black smoke was rolling and rising, and then it was pushed down and smashed on the heads of the Wu Dynasty soldiers who could not be avoided on the ladder, falling and breaking along with the flames, and blood and fire spread out.
Dusk ended, light and darkness were staggered, Guan Sheng squinted at this scene with phoenix eyes, it was very dazzling, his arms shook, the mount under his crotch was panting anxiously, and countless people in his eyes were rushing up the ladder, and then they were lit and fell with black smoke and fell to the ground.
"The Liao people are not as good as the Jurchens.... But are the people of the Wu Dynasty inferior to the Liao? Then the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty ...... What is it....." Guan Sheng gritted his teeth and waved his blade in mid-air, "Inform the resentful army to make up the second echelon, so that they must stand up, and in addition, the battering ram will slam the door for me." β
Hao Siwen looked at the fighting city wall, "Brother, I'm afraid our time is running out." β
"How many more?"
"About half an hour.... If you can't take the inner city wall within half an hour, enter the palace and capture the queen mother of Liao, otherwise everything is meaningless. β
"Okay! Just bet on this last half hour, go and ask Xuanzan to block the north street for me, brother, you go and block the reinforcements that may come from the south gate, and hold them back. β
Hao Siwen clenched his fists on horseback, and then asked the herald to send a few orders.
In the rear formation, in the formation of the resentful army, Liu Shunren and the three of them took the general order and looked up again, the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty over there went up to the city wall one by one, and then they were defeated again, nodded with a solemn face, sent the heralds, and said to Zhang Linghui and Zhen Wuchen behind them: " There's nothing to say, General Guan let his soldiers take the lead first, and didn't let us go first, indicating that he didn't let us consume the other party first, which is fair, now it's our turn, and the eldest brother is not here, we can't embarrass him, let those Liao people open their eyes and see, they are blind, and the resentful army is not a slave soldier..... Not a beggar's soldier. β
He pulled out the steel knife at his waist and took a stride, "Whoever brings the seed, he will kill it with meβ"
"Killβ"
The two thousand resentful troops erupted into a huge roar, echoing over the city, and the soldiers rushed towards the city wall like a wave, and near their charge, six war horses swayed their horses' hooves, and under the loud shouts of the knights, they held the simple battering rams that were tied up by several beams in the middle, galloped, and slammed into them in the moment of falling with their arrows.
The moment the horse's hooves stopped, the head of the mallet slammed into the two-foot-high gate without reservation under the tremendous inertia.
Boom -
The gates shook violently, shaking inward, and dust fell in a plow. "Come again!!" the knight on the horse commanded, letting the remaining five people control the horses to retreat backwards, and then once again charged up the horse's hooves, and ran over, and at the head of the city, there were archers looking down, bending their bows and shooting, whoosh! The moment the arrow went straight into the neck of one of the cavalrymen, the knight grabbed the reins of the horse vigorously, and the other hand frantically pulled out the arrow directly, and the scarlet blood immediately rushed all over the armor.
"Bang!!!" the knight roared, his pupils dilated.
Bang!
The mallet struck again, but the gate shook but did not open, and the knight turned pale, clutched his neck and shook it slightly, and fell off his horse with a pop, never to get up again.
On the ladder, the resentful army climbed and rushed up, and the spear stabbed in the field of vision.
"Ahhh
Zhang Linghui held the steel knife, his eyes were red, he stepped on the corpse of a companion and jumped up, slammed into the fierce spear, slashed the knife, the two spear heads flew up with a broken shot, the knife swung horizontally again, and the blood splashed on the opposite side, he did not stop, continued to rush forward, the blade slammed on whose stomach he didn't know, and a bloody breath surged over, which was disgusting.
Behind him, the soldiers of the resentful army were still rushing up, one, two, three.......... The field of vision was far away, and the soldiers on the more than ten cloud ladders leaning against the city wall were spreading towards the entire city wall, savagely fighting.
Xiongzhou.
The carriage drove out of the mountain road back to the street of the city, Xifu fell asleep quietly on Bai Ning's lap, the night outside the curtain fell, and it began to drizzle, and both sides of the street were in a hurry because of the sudden rain, and the objects in their hands were covered above their heads, and they opened their wide sleeves to block their heads empty-handed, and went to the eaves to hide from the rain, and the shops began to lay wooden planks to close at this time.
Going out to play during the day with Xifu is actually a way of compensation in Bai Ning's heart, because it won't be long before he wants to continue to go north, and the silly girl will be able to stay behind, after all, the Jurchens will also come over when the time comes, whether there will be a sudden fight, no one can say, if he can't win, with his female dependents, he will have a lot more worries.
Now counting the time, Guo Yaoshi, Guan Sheng and others have almost arrived in Yanjing, it is estimated that there should be a fight at this time, but it is naturally not Yanjing that he is going to go north, and it doesn't matter whether he can take it or not, even if he takes it, as soon as the Jurchens come over, they will rely on one or two thousand people to defend it, and they will naturally go to another place this time.
The hand gently stroked Xifu's hair, the silly girl lay on his thigh, if it was this normal man, there would be some reactions below after all, but he felt empty, although it didn't disturb him to think about things, but the feeling of being empty in his heart would still affect him from time to time.
Then he lifted Xifu's head in the direction of his knees. He diverted his attention to Luan Tingyu outside the curtain and spoke: "Qin Ming's injuries are no longer serious, right?"
Outside, the response quickly came in: "Back to the Governor, it's no big deal, just a few days he has already gone to Yanmen Pass to garrison, although he is a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of an arrangement, but probably won't think much about it, he himself knows that if he goes to the battlefield with injuries, it will be in vain." β
The wheels rolled, and the words were said from time to time, and then, somewhere on the road that was about to reach the small courtyard, Bai Ning suddenly stopped speaking, his ears trembled slightly as if he heard something, and he lifted the curtain and nodded at Luan Tingyu.
In the next second, Luan Tingyu took off the Baling Mixed Copper Stick tied to his back and led more than a dozen fans to surround the alley. Bai Ning's carriage slowly stopped, he changed his posture to Xifu, and walked lightly to the chariot outside, the thin rain curtain fell on his cheeks, and his eyes sharpened at that moment.
Fanzi and Luan Tingyu rushed in at that moment with their weapons in hand........
....
The weapons fought, and some fans flew out upside down.
