Chapter 18 It is difficult to climb to the sky
Suddenly torches were lit on the city wall, and I don't know who shouted, "Someone! There is an attack!" The city wall was suddenly lit up with lights, and there was a mess, and I don't know who rang the bell, apparently to report the news.
Xie Tong shouted "Drumming".
The tom drum beat loudly, Yi Wudaunt threw his double knives, and shouted, "Brothers, kill!"
Suddenly, the shouts of killing resounded throughout the night.
Huo Zixin saw the sound of the drum and said in a low voice, "Brothers, light the fire."
The watchtower of the big camp had already discovered Xie Tong and the others, and shouted, "Raid the camp!
The soldiers of the forward battalion lit torches one after another, and they prepared a lot of bamboo arrows this time, and the arrows wrapped the fuel packages that were very easy to ignite, and after ignition, the rockets were densely shot into the camp, and the rockets were fired on the camp tents, and then they burned. The rebels in the camp woke up from their sleep one after another, ran out naked, and at this moment the camp was in chaos.
Huo Zixin flashed his sword, shouted, "Brothers, rush!" and then rushed into the camp first.
The sentries guarding the camp raised their spears, and dozens of spears stabbed straight at Huo Zixin.
The brothers of the former Feng brothers also raised their spears and rushed into the camp with Huo Zixin.
Huo Zixin's sword flew left and right, and the spear that stabbed it flew continuously.
The spears used by the soldiers were about a zhang long, much longer than Huo Zixin's four-foot sword, and it would be difficult for Huo Zixin to stab the enemy for a while.
Since the forward battalion was an attack camp and had been prepared for a long time, the swarming fighters broke through the enemy's camp gate defense in one fell swoop and killed directly into the main camp.
Huo Zixin dodged an enemy shot, and his body moved forward violently. Gliding against the enemy's spear, a sword pierced the enemy's chest. He drew his sword and kicked his foe away. "Brothers, fire and burn camp".
As the soldiers of the forward battalion rushed out of a bloody road, the archers behind had followed closely, and the rockets continued to shoot towards the large battalion behind the enemy, and the dozens of camp tents in front of them suddenly burst into flames. The fire reddened the night.
Battles on both sides began at the same time.
Yi Wudaunt held two swords, rushed to the front line, the city was densely shot with arrow rain, and suddenly many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the wails were endless.
Daring Do shouted, "Be careful to dodge the arrows. The archers fired back at me. ”
The archers stood on their feet and returned fire on the walls. Temporarily suppressed the vitality of the enemy, and from time to time the enemy fell from the city walls.
With the support of powerful archers, more than twenty ladders were erected, and the soldiers began to climb up the city walls along the ladders. And from time to time the soldiers fell from the ladder and fell into meat sauce. However, the soldiers still climbed up without hesitation, and almost all of them were picked down by spears at the top of the wall.
The walls were littered with corpses.
The siege cart finally reached the city gate, and dozens of soldiers pushed the cart and slammed it into the heavy iron gate. However, the iron gate did not move.
Yi Wudaught finally turned red, and he raised his true anger. Suddenly jumped onto the ladder, stepped on the ladder with both feet, and flew directly to the city. 、
When the enemy saw that the master was coming, more than a dozen people were busy stabbing over with spears. Tightly surround the city with fearlessness. More than a dozen spears kept flying in front of Yi Wudaugh, and Yi Wudaunt dodged left and right, and finally approached the enemy. The twin knives swung and slashed several enemies in an instant.
Xie Tong saw that Yi Wudang personally fought and went up. His blood suddenly boiled, and he hurriedly said, "Duan Yuanjing." Lead the pupil battalion to pick up Huo Zixin quickly, and everyone else will rush to me!
The army was all dispatched.
Xie Tong stood under the city, threw the moon-chasing bow, he suddenly pulled out three bamboo arrows, pulled the bow and shot the arrows in one go, the three bamboo arrows crossed the night sky like meteors, and flew directly to the city, screaming, and the enemy fell from the city wall.
When the soldiers saw that the commander personally killed the enemy and went into battle, their blood boiled suddenly, and the shouting of killing was even more shocking, and the ladder was covered with dense soldiers, desperately climbing up.
Xie Tong had been besieged by the enemy army before, and he knew how dangerous it was on the battlefield, he knew very well that Yi Wu's situation at this moment, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and his bamboo arrows shot at the besieging Yi Wu's enemies.
Soon, hand-to-hand combat broke out on the walls.
Huo Zixin flashed left and right, and directly rushed into the enemy formation, at this moment he had killed more than ten enemies, and his body was already covered in blood. This slashing was very enjoyable, and directly pressed the enemy army back.
However, the enemy's tents were placed very scientifically and reasonably, and the fire they set only set fire to one of the tents, and the fire did not spread because there was no strong wind.
The enemy regrouped, and rushed out from the rear of the battalion, and bows and arrows were fired from all directions, and suddenly, the brothers of his forward battalion fell in large pieces, and the good situation that had just been attacked was instantly disintegrated.
Huo Zixin realized the seriousness of the situation, his battalion was only 5,000 people, and the enemy camp had 10,000 horses, if he was trapped here, he would definitely be eaten by the enemy. And Xie Tong's side attacked the Great Wall of Heaven, and he would definitely not be able to pull out people to rescue him, and it was not until this moment that he understood the true meaning of Xie Tong's order for him to feint and not fight. He shouted, "Stand back and withdraw from the camp." "He personally broke off, but there was nothing he could do in the face of the swarming enemies.
The forward battalion was indeed professionally trained, and although it was retreating, it was still retreating without chaos, and slowly withdrew from the camp. However, since he was already in close contact with the enemy, retreating was tantamount to a fool's dream. The enemy came at the tail end, clung to the forward battalion, did not give him a chance to escape, and sent cavalry to outflank him.
Huo Zixin regretted it, his ignorance was afraid that it would bury the entire forward battalion, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, fight!" He did not retreat, but clenched his sword, and surrounded by the brothers of the forward battalion, reflexively killed back.
The light cavalry on the side outflanked him, and a cavalryman waved his horse chopping knife and slashed directly at Huo Zixin, Huo Zixin silently recited the mantra, and instantly hit the Tianshan Dazzling Shadow Finger with his left hand, directly knocking the cavalry off his horse. He mounted his horse in reverse, grabbed the belly of his horse, and charged head-on towards the cavalry brigade.
Several cavalrymen surrounded and killed, and swords slashed from three sides.
Huo Zixin lifted his true qi, jumped up directly from the horse, dodged the attack of the three swords, directly kicked the two cavalrymen, and then sat down on the back of a horse steadily, his sword stabbed back, directly stabbed a cavalryman's chest, screamed, the cavalry turned over and fell off the horse, he instantly knocked down the three cavalrymen, he was tired and out of breath, but there were thousands of cavalry rushing over, the momentum was very immense.
Huo Zixin didn't dare to rush over, the cavalry who stepped forward would easily step him on the city, he quickly turned around and returned to the team.
With the support of the archers, dozens of people had already climbed to the city walls, and finally seized the city heads, and the soldiers climbed up the ladders.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from inside the city, and it was supposed to be the first wave of enemy reinforcements arriving. The situation on the walls had become simple and vague again, and the enemy had increased their forces much faster than the soldiers who had climbed the walls. If the city that has just gained a foothold is lost, then the soldiers who died before will be sacrificed in vain.
Thinking of this, Xie Tong lifted a thick back, he used the whirlwind footwork technique, soared into the air, his feet were a little on the ladder, and flew directly to the head of the city, he used his true qi and slashed towards the oncoming enemy.
With this knife, he used the fifth layer of true qi to directly slash back four or five enemies, and these people were directly retreated by the shock, knocking down five or six people.
However, the enemy continued to rush over like a tide, and Xie Tongkong had tens of thousands of troops, but all of them were outside the city, so he couldn't help at all! He fought and retreated, and leaned directly behind Yi Wudaunt, and the enemy on the city wall once again had the advantage. Lying the corpse of the Tang army was lying horizontally.
Xie Tong said, "What about the eldest brother?"
Yi Wudaunt said, "If you want to win, you must open the city gate, and our army will have a chance of winning when it enters the city."
Below Xie Tong was the city gate, which was full of enemies.
Xie Tong's scalp was numb, and he said, "Big brother, is there no other way?"
Yi Wudauntless gasped and said, "Yes, press down all the enemies on the city wall."
Xie Tong said in his heart, isn't this embarrassing Lao Tzu? He gently skimmed towards the city wall, and his brothers had gradually fallen, and the number was getting smaller and smaller. He gritted his teeth and jumped to the city gate, where there were at least dozens of people pushing the gate together.
When the enemy saw Xie Tong jumping to the city gate, they all felt incredible, but they immediately turned around, and the spears stabbed towards Xie Tong.
Xie Tong knew that if he failed at this moment, he would definitely die for life, he raised all his true qi, and slashed the thick-backed knife towards the two iron spears in front of him, the knives and guns intersected, bursting out fierce sparks, and he forced the two people in front of him to slash out, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.
Xie Tong looked forward, only to see a huge bolt two feet wide and one foot thick at the city gate, made of giant wood, no wonder the siege vehicle could not be broken, as long as the bolt was broken, the army could enter the city in an instant.
While he was pondering, several spears stabbed again.
This city gate hole is about four zhang long, about one zhang and five feet high, about four zhang wide, and it is square, and the spear is about one battle, it is extremely difficult to play in this small space, except for the front stab, there is nothing else, and the lateral blow is very likely to hurt one's own people. Xie Tong was secretly happy, this was good luck for him, if the enemy used a sword or something, he would most likely be trapped and die here.
The spear stabbed, he was busy with the whirlwind of luck, skillfully dodged the sharp stab, he pulled the spear, directly dragged the enemy over, and cut the enemy's throat with a knife, and suddenly, blood splashed everywhere, and even sprayed Xie Tong's face. He ignored this, and his figure rose into the air again, several spears stabbing under him. He stepped on the tip of the gun with both feet, and his figure flew up again, directly over the top of everyone's heads, he raised the thick-backed knife, and slashed towards the gate from top to bottom, scaring several enemy soldiers to get out of the way, Xie Tong used all his strength to slash on the deadbolt, to his surprise, the bolt was only a small opening, which had no effect on the heavy deadbolt at all.
