Chapter 52: Blood and Fire

The halberd-shaped glow began to shrink.

A constricted glow surrounded the halberd.

The light seeped into the halberd body, and the vertical and horizontal runes flowed on the halberd body.

The rune disappeared into the halberd.

The halberd that stopped on the surface of the lake, the trembling halberd body, stopped shaking.

Echoing in the hole, the continuous "buzzing" sound stopped.

The halberd began to move, passing through the sky above the lake.

Passed past the barbarian chieftain who was sitting on the rock, wide-eyed, stiff, not daring to make any movement.

Stopped, stopped in front of Liu Heng.

Horizontal in front of Liu Heng.

Then, the halberd trembled again, trembling even more violently, so that a large area of afterimage appeared around the halberd.

This time, there was not a single sound.

In the dark sky, the sound of war drums greeted the dawn outside the tower.

In every direction outside Caoyun County, there are tower forts.

The tower fort is made entirely of marble.

The gray stone dust remaining on the marble scatters a golden glow in the morning light.

The soldiers guarding the tower fort pushed six ballista carts with arrows side by side into the platform on the tower fort.

There is only one platform in the tower fort.

The platform is built under the attic.

It is in the shape of a broken arc with the cambered surface facing outward.

The radius of the arc is supposed to be nine meters, but the part that extends beyond the wall has a radius of only six meters.

On the four-meter-high wall, which extends downward in an arc, the gate poured with iron mortar has been sealed by huge stones piled up inside.

Outside the tower fort, in the wilderness, there are five ramshells with iron sheets wrapped in wheels, and countless wooden ladders four meters long to climb the city.

and soldiers standing next to siege engines, which looked dense in the wilderness, with few gaps.

Chen Fu stood on the chariot, under the canopy.

He turned his head to his left, his gaze fixed on a cavalryman standing beside him.

Dark and smooth skin, neat and flowing hair, Cheng Liang's dazzling silver-plated interlocking armor.

In terms of appearance, the cavalry even surpassed Chen Fu under the canopy.

"Uncle Yu, have you counted the losses of our army yesterday?"

"Back to the young master, yesterday the left battalion of the army lost 27,164 people and killed 820 enemies, and the right battalion of the army destroyed 2,500 enemies and killed 840 people. ”

Yu Bo bowed slightly, his face calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"Our army lost five hundred and thirty-two people. ”

"Hehe, Liu Li, this old man, is really brave, no wonder his father is jealous of him. ”

Chen Fu smiled, raised his head and looked at the tower fort in the distance, and looked at the city wall of the tower fort.

"Ordered the siege. ”

"Yes. ”

Yu Bo nodded, straightened up as he sat on the horse, and waved his left hand forward.

Beside him, several rows of soldiers who had long been ready blew their horns.

Countless soldiers pushed up two battering rams, took all the wooden ladders, and rushed to the tower fort.

Six ballistas on the platform above the tower fort fired several rounds of arrows.

Broke up four mallet carts.

The soldiers, with the rest of the mallets, rushed to the city gates.

He took the arrows from the tower fort and set up a wooden ladder.

They climbed the walls.

The blood sown washed away a large amount of stone slag from the city wall.

Red-dyed gravel fell down the walls.

Fell on the weeds.

Fell into the dirt.

It fell on the soldiers.

The besieging soldiers shouted hoarsely, looking at my rush.

The city walls were crowded with people, and the two sides who were killing each other fought with instinct for their lives.

There is no rational speech, there is no willingness, people who do not know each other.

When we meet on the tower fort, we are mortal enemies, and we hate each other deeply.

It's just not going to die.

It's a life-and-death struggle.

The four ballistas were broken into scrap metal during the battle, staining the platform's blood red and flowing into the cracks in the stone.

Stuffed with stone crevices.

As a result, the blood accumulated on the stone face, which was dark red.

Standing on the stone staircase, standing in the tower fort, Peng Yong in the corridor leading to the platform, took off the cloak from his armor.

After folding the cloak, Peng Yong put the cloak next to him and hung it in the brazier on the wall.

The cloak was sent into the fire.

Flames flickering, wrapped in cloaks.

Burning cloak.

The five hundred guards on the platform were huddled together with the siege soldiers who poured onto the walls.

Entangled people, let the blood spread in the air, let the life pass under the blade.

The cloak in the brazier was reduced to ashes, and the soldiers guarding the platform gradually left two hundred.

Then, with a thousand people, Peng Bo rushed out of the corridor and rushed onto the platform.

The soldiers who suddenly poured out of the corridor drove all the people on the platform to the corner of the city with a thousand long lances.

They drove them to the city.

Peng Yong stood on the steps by the city wall, waved his right hand, and shouted, "Release!!"

Completely ignored, on the calm face, in the depths of the eyes, there were scattered splashes of water.

So, the soldiers, who rushed onto the platform of the tower, carried out the iron pot with the sauce.

The iron pot was dumped out of the wall.

The oil juice ran down the wall and fell to the ground.

Fell into the corpse.

Fell on the climbing siege soldiers.

Then, Pomber crouched down and placed his palms on the wall buttress less than half a foot high.

Red light surged from Pember's palm, and flames erupted from between his fingers.

"Peng!!"

The flames began to spread.

The wooden ladder built on the wall began to burn, the corpses piled up under the wall began to burn, and the soldiers who climbed the wooden ladder began to burn.

The entire city wall began to burn.

The smell of burnt incense permeated the burning blood.

Tongues of fire fluttered in the air, and ashes rose and fell in the air.

Peng Yong stood up, stood in the ashes, and stood in front of the tongue of fire.

Monotonous figure, soaked in loneliness.

The figure became depressed in loneliness.

The 500 soldiers who volunteered to guard the tower fort platform were all guards from Caoyun County.

These soldiers guarded Caoyun County for ten years.

Most of these soldiers have followed Liu Li for more than ten years.

Very rarely, he has followed Liu Li for 20 years.

Peng Yong has followed Liu Li for twenty years.

Peng Yongqiang suppressed the grief in his heart, his face was calm, and he said in an extremely slight voice that only he could hear: "Rest in peace, brothers, I will arrive later." ”

In front of the tower fort, the besieging soldiers retreated in front of the sea of fire.

In the middle of the military formation, next to the chariot where Chen Fu was standing, Yu Bo turned over and stepped off the horse.

Looking at Uncle Yu who was holding the reins, Chen Fu looked sideways slightly and said, "Uncle Yu, what's wrong?"

"Back to the young master, I just think that the figure on the head of the city is a little familiar. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fu raised his head and looked at the burning wall.

"This is not Liu Heng, isn't it the old person Yu Bo knew before?"

"Back to the young master, if Yu Ruo is in Caoyun County, there are no old people!"

Yu Ruo shook his head, with a look of affirmation on his face, and said, "I must have admitted my mistake." ”

Hearing this, Chen Fu, who turned his head to look back at the city wall, frowned, and said, "This general guarding the tower fort is resolute, this fire has caused at least 3,000 deaths and injuries to our army." ”
