Chapter 1031: The Worst Battle - Tired
"Phew!" Song Hu spat at the mouth, pushed out the person who had just been stabbed to death, and held a spear and pestle on the ground in his right hand, looking at the people who were fighting fiercely in front of him.
From the very beginning, this siege and defense battle entered a very tragic situation. In the past, although the siege of Samarkand was also very fierce every day, the number of soldiers sent each time was not very large, and in order to prevent the cannon and dense arrow rain at the head of the city, they also lined up in a loose line, and then sent a second wave after the first wave of soldiers rushed to the city.
This is very correct under normal circumstances, too many soldiers sent at one time will not only be killed in the process of rushing to the head of the city, but under normal circumstances, the ladder is not enough for too many people to climb at the same time, and climbing the complete and several zhang high city wall with bare hands is also a technical work, and the siege efficiency is not high.
But today, Timur and his generals seemed to have gone mad, and made his soldiers rush to the city in an extremely dense queue. Then the ladder was not enough, so he used the dagger in his hand as a climbing tool to climb up.
In normal times, these soldiers are just here to die. But now the Ming army's defense equipment has been exhausted, even if all the grenades that were deliberately reserved as hole cards are used up, all the cannonballs of the cannons are gone, and all the arrows are shot, even the rolling wood and stones are not much left, and they are quickly used up in the fierce siege battle.
And the soldiers of Samarkand also used an unintended strategy. Every soldier who came to attack the city had a brick in his hand, and after rushing to the bottom of the city, he threw it on the ground, and the bricks brought by tens of thousands of soldiers were quickly piled up two or three feet high, shortening the distance that needed to be climbed a lot.
In this way, the Ming army, which had lost all the equipment to defend the city, resisted for a while, and after eliminating thousands of soldiers from Samarkand who were besieging the city, they made a mistake and let them open a gap to kill the city.
Song Hu and the others hurriedly led the soldiers to eliminate the people who rushed up, but this side was eliminated, and there were people leaking there, so Song Hu had to rush to the other side.
Because the enemy attacked the city too fiercely and the battles were too frequent, after only an hour of fighting, Song Hu's arm was almost out of strength, and he could only stop and rest for a while after stabbing one person to death.
"My lord," said one of his subordinates, "the soldiers are almost overwhelmed. Since they got up in the morning, they have not rested, and the soldiers of Samarkand are like locusts, killing one and rushing up another, killing two and rushing up a couple! ”
"If it weren't for the defense of the city now, the soldiers would have thrown down their weapons and fled. But even if they can only defend because they have no escape, many people are sweating like pulp, and their strength is so bad that some people even have blurred eyes. My lord, let them rest for a while and use their reserves. "The reserve is the reserve, although there are very few soldiers in the city, but at Song Sheng's insistence, each city still drew a thousand soldiers as reserves.
Song Hu raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, then looked at the city, shook his head and said, "No! Now is not the time to use reserves! ”
"It's only the beginning of the day, and there is still an hour before noon, and the soldiers must hold out until noon before they can use the reserves!"
"An hour! How can the soldiers hold out for another hour! The thousand households said. It's not that he doesn't know that what Song Hu said is reasonable, if the reserves are used too early, it is likely that the whole army will have no strength to fight again and lose the city if he does not hold out until the next night; But now the soldiers are tired and can't hold out for an hour.
"It must be held out for an hour!" Song Hu said categorically.
Hearing this, Chiho knew that it was useless to say more, so he sighed and went back to fight with the soldiers of Samarkand.
Song Hu rested for a while, threw the spear aside, picked up a light waist knife, and led his soldiers to rush to the front line.
He faced the knife that was being swung by a man, and when the knife was about to come to him, he turned sideways to avoid it, and then slashed himself at the man's waist, only to hear a scream, and the man fell to the ground. Song Hu wiped his neck with a knife again, ensuring that this person could not die again, and then went to kill the next person.
was killing, and suddenly a "buzzing" sound sounded in the air, and Song Hu heard that it was flying towards him, and shouted: "Arrows!" Dodge! He squatted on the ground and pulled a corpse at random to block it.
"Bang bang bang"! Countless arrows were shot at the masonry, and all the soldiers of the Ming army and Samarkand who had no time to dodge were killed.
