Chapter 42 Ten Thousand Enemies
(It's a dark dream. It's really strange. Today, the book review area is silent, and that quietly makes me creepy!)
The battle between the cavalry and the cavalry came to an end. The officers and soldiers were beaten back into the city in confusion and lost 40 or 50 people outside the city, with a loss of almost more than 30%. After Li Zicheng led his army to show off his power outside the West Gate, he led his troops back to the south of the city with Xiao Tianjian.
Along the way, they cut off the heads of the killed officers and soldiers one by one and brought them back to the front of the southern army. After the group of people showed off with guns in front of the army, they left the heads of these officers and soldiers in front of the army and formed a pile. The morale of the rebels outside the city was immediately boosted.
Yang Yulin stood in the city and had a panoramic view of this scene. His nose was almost crooked. Originally, he wanted to send cavalry to fight the thief army unprepared, but he not only failed. Instead, he gave dozens of heads to the thief army. This result was really unacceptable to him, so he roared and urged the defenders under him to be more fierce. Go to the bottom of the city.
A group of Rebels gathered at the foot of the city wall with shields and erected long ladders, while the city kept throwing wood and stones at the bottom of the city, constantly smashing some long ladders, and causing a lot of casualties to the Rebels, but even so, the encouraged rebels are still not afraid of death. They rushed forward, especially the five hundred elite soldiers led by the last two Tian Jianxiu, each bravely took the lead, against the rolling wood and stones falling from the top of their heads, and repeatedly erected the long ladders and set them on the wall of Longzhou City.
The brave soldier raised the shield in one hand, put the waist knife in his mouth, grabbed the long ladder in the other hand, and began to be attached to the ants. The defenders have also worked hard to smash all kinds of things like raindrops.
A group of Rebel soldiers will cling to the long ladder, constantly holding the things falling from the top of their heads, and slowly climbing towards the city. Seeing that they were about to climb to the top of the city wall, they poured a bucket of hot oil on the wall, and the hot oil poured down. Suddenly, they opened the hot skin of this team of volunteers who climbed up the city and fell screaming. When they went down, many people fell silent as soon as they landed, but there were also scalded rebels rolling all over the ground, making extremely miserable screams.
Then a few torches were left on the city. A raging fire suddenly ignited on the long ladder full of hot oil. Many people were also stained with hot oil. A little spark ignited their clothes, and even made several rebels hit around screaming like firemen.
Tian Jianxiu cut down a man covered with fire with a knife, ended his pain, and shouted, "Go on to me!" Revenge for the brothers!"
After shouting, he grabbed a long ladder that had just stood up and was about to climb up. As a result, he was pulled by several soldiers, and someone immediately grabbed the long ladder in front of him.
A wolf's tooth fell down and slapped heavily on the long ladder. Even if the front soldier was smashed by the wolf's teeth, even the long ladder was broken on the spot. Several soldiers exclaimed and fell down. When an unlucky person fell, he just fell on a stone. The pulp suddenly flew far away and splashed on Tian Jianxiu's trousers. Tian Jianxiu's hair cracked and roared repeatedly.
The siege has already reached the level of incandescent. Both sides have killed their eyes and ignored the surrounding arrows at all. Under the supervision of the leader, a large number of the rebels crossed the trenches and squeezed under the city. The long ladders were repeatedly erected and pushed down by the defenders. The sound of killing, gunfire, and the sound of bows filled the sky over Longzhou.
Li Zicheng disarmed and Xiao Tianjian returned to the Chinese army to watch the battle at the wall from afar, and their expressions began to be solemn.
Li Zicheng greatly underestimated the resistance and will to resist the defenders. Looking at a group of generals who fell at the foot of the city wall, he said that he was not distressed that it was a fart. After all, this time he filled more than 500 elites under his command under his command under the city, and he felt distressed every death.
And Xiao Tianjian looked at the tragic scene like hell in front of him and was shocked. This was the most tragic battle he had ever seen before he came to the world. Just because of the excitement of the horse rushing, he felt that at this time, he had been replaced by the shock brought by this tragic scene. Human life was like an ant. In general, it is worthless. Every moment, life disappears in this war, but what they want is only the right to survive.
The words of success and withered bones have finally given Xiao Tianjian a deeper understanding. God knows whether he will become one of these bones in the future. In the dense rain-like bullets above and below the wall, anyone's power seems to be so small, and everyone's fate is not in control. In his hands, the person who successfully laughs to the end can be said to be just an accident among countless accidents.
And he himself didn't know where the road he chose would make him go and stop abruptly. Looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help re-examine the road he chose.
"Add more effort and it will go up!" Li Zicheng clenched the hilt of the sword around his waist and suddenly said that there was a trace of tension in his tone.
Xiao Tianjian looked at it. On the wall on the right side of the south gate of the city, six or seven deputy long ladders were erected at the same time. A large number of rebels had begun to climb up the long ladder and gradually approached the head of the city. 'Can they really attack the city?' Xiao Tianjian thought to himself, and at the same time, he nervously clenched the handle of the knife at his waist.
At this level of the battle, Yang Yulin calmed down. The firepower of the city had been exerted to the extreme, but it still could not stop a large number of thieves from approaching the city wall. More and more long ladders had begun to lean against the city wall. No matter how the defenders counterattacked, they could not stop them.
A man rushed to Yang Yulin in panic and shouted to him, "Mr. Yang Qian! The thief army is about to attack the city wall, and the inferior position can no longer withstand it! Some soldiers have already wanted to escape!"
"Kill those who leave without permission! Avoid war, don't kill the former! Those who dare to take half a step back will kill! Diao Er, take my waist knife to supervise the war! Anyone who resists will be killed without amnesty!" Yang Yulin reached out and took off the waist knife around his waist, threw it to a personal soldier behind him, and ordered the soldier who always had his own.
The general was stunned and didn't dare to say more. He immediately followed a few personal soldiers to turn back to the position he was responsible for guarding. Soon, a few bloody heads hung up, which suddenly made the already lax military heart condense again. Some people who were so scared that they did not dare to move forward had to pick up the stone again and towards Throw it down the city.
And more and more rebel generals gathered under the city. If any stone is thrown down, you can knock down a person and hit a rebel soldier. Soon there will be another position to replace him and continue to climb to the head of the city, shouting to shock the world and make some new soldiers. The soldiers were a little soft and made a lot of oolong.
Two strong men carrying a bucket of boiling oil were about to pour the bucket of boiling oil under the wall. As a result, a guard next to a strong man just hit an arrow and was shot through his neck. Blood splashed on the strong man's face. He was so scared that his hand softened and knocked the bucket of oil over the wall, and the boiling oil splashed all over a few guards around. The army screamed, and in a blink of an eye, a rocket fell at their feet. Immediately, a flame rose on the wall, which made the people around him run around and immediately messed up.
Seeing more and more Rebels gathered at the foot of the city wall and kept erecting long ladders to attack the city wall, Yang Yulin casually dropped a hard bow that was broken by him and sneered.
"Carry out what you have prepared!" Yang Yulin turned around and gave a loud order.
After listening to some of his officers and soldiers, there was a trace of joy on his face. He immediately answered loudly and took the order and left. Soon, he took out a few large wooden boxes from the ear room of the tower. These wooden boxes were actually baskets made of solid wooden strips, containing a huge mud ball, outside the wooden frame. Leave a lead.
These big guys were quickly carried by the officers and soldiers to several places where the war was most fierce, and the city was full of ant-like rebels.
The officers and soldiers put the wooden frame on the mouth of the wall, and someone immediately came forward to ignite the lead, and was immediately pushed down by several officers and soldiers and fell heavily at the foot of the wall.
Only a few loud noises were heard. The most densely populated places under the city wall were suddenly covered with smoke, and several huge fireballs were raised. Immediately, the broken limbs of the human body near the explosion point rose into the air, and the scattered human flesh was scattered in all directions like rain. Even the people who were farther away from the explosion point immediately It was shocked to the ground by this huge explosion, and it blew away many rebels who were about to climb up the city. What's more terrible is that this kind of enemy does not rely on explosive power to kill the enemy. At the same time, it will also spew out a large number of flames and burn the enemy. The flames burned by saltpeter sulfur spewed far away. If you touch a little, it will be burned immediately. The skin is open and the meat is flawed.
Looking at the scene of broken meat flying around, a large number of rebels finally couldn't stand such a blow. Many people shouted in fear and turned around and ran out of the trenches. Although the leaders of the rebels wanted to stop them, there were too many people who fled this time. Even they couldn't stand firm and were wrapped. He was caught in it and retreated away from the foot of the city wall.
Li Zicheng's face suddenly became very ugly, and Xiao Tianjian's face was not much better. He opened his eyes in shock and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. He didn't know what to say.
"Daw! The defenders actually used tens of thousands of enemies! Damn it! Damn it!" Li Zicheng could no longer make a calm gesture. He clenched his fist and cursed.
"General, let's collect the troops for the time being! It's so messy. If you continue to fight, I don't think it will have any effect!" Xiao Tianjian had no choice but to persuade Li Zicheng, who was furious.
After hearing this, Li Zicheng suppressed his anger and nodded, "Sing Mingjin to withdraw the army!"
(This chapter may be controversial. For tens of thousands of enemies, there is information that it is simply a combustion weapon, but there is also information that it is an explosive weapon, but I analyze that since this thing is filled with a lot of gunpowder, it should be more explosive weapons. Of course, as for the built-in poisonous fire, divine fire and other things, it should be exploding. At the same time, there is also a certain burning and lethality! You might as well argue for a while!)
