314 Under the Peak City, Huangquan Road
After a burst of crossbow arrows, the path leading from Cloud City to Peak City was filled with the corpses of the enemy.
Before he had time to rest, another team of enemy soldiers rushed towards the sky, Guo Ziyi waved his hand, and there was another rain of arrows, after harvesting the first batch, those bed crossbows with huge lethality began to exert their power again, if they haven't been cleaned up, a round of wood or rolling stones, immediately emptied.
The enemy is constantly attacking like a wheel war, the Alida Division, the Houthi Division, the Great Food Army, and the Tubo Army take turns to attack, braving the rain of arrows to charge, stepping on the flesh and blood, but the location of Fengcheng is too good, a stone step road that can only be walked side by side by six people, no matter how many people there are, it is useless, because it is a step, it can't be pushed up like a chariot, and in front of the Tang Army, it is like a live target.
Unless there is a major change in the peak city, you can only wait for the people above to kill until all the defensive materials such as soft hands or arrows and wood are consumed.
The cycle of cause and effect has been unpleasant, and the situation at this moment when the enemy is attacking at any cost, and the corpses are all over the place, how similar it is to the Tang Army's attack on Yuncheng, except that the two sides have changed positions.
Peak City is higher, more dangerous, and more difficult to attack than Cloud City.
The defenders of the city are the most elite troops in the Western Regions.
"Give me a charge, kill a Tang dog and reward a hundred taels."
"The first one to break through the city gate will be promoted to a hundred households, and a reward of a thousand gold."
"Whoever is the first to attack the head of the peak city will be rewarded with ten beautiful women."
Ah Lida, Gu Taibai, Bi Erjin and others made crazy wishes regardless of the cost, and instigated the soldiers to press back to Fengcheng.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and groups of outlaws charge fearlessly to death, but unfortunately each charge ends with the loss of generals or the annihilation of the whole army.
How to attack? There was only one path for the attack, which was high and steep, and the chariots and trebuchets were not used, and the soldiers were either poorly trained or poorly equipped, and most of the casualties were suffered before they could get close.
After a series of fierce attacks for nearly half an hour, the path was full of corpses, blood stained the entire stone steps red, lifeless corpses and stumps everywhere, blood, this original dangerous and beautiful stone steps road, turned into the Huangquan Road leading to the underworld.
Seeing the fallen soldiers one by one, Ah Lida and the others almost bit their silver teeth.
In less than half an hour, at least more than 3,000 close to 4,000 soldiers lost their lives.
The Tang army attacked Yuncheng for six days, and the losses of Alida and the others were only four or five hundred people, but the losses of half an hour just now were ten times as much as the previous six days combined.
Can you not hate?
"Retreat, retreat, the enemy is too fierce."
"Run for your life, God forbid, this is a war that cannot be won."
In the face of heavy casualties, the courage mustered by the heavy reward finally collapsed, and some soldiers, frightened by the shadow of death, threw down their weapons and cried back.
When Gu Taibai saw it, he was furious, and with a snort, he took out his iron treasure knife, rushed up and slashed the three people who ran in front, holding the treasure knife that was still dripping blood in his hand, and shouted with red eyes: "Those who retreat, don't count to kill." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his guards drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the retreating soldiers.
The group of soldiers looked at Gu Taibai who seemed to be possessed by a fierce god with some horror, and then looked at the arrows that were shining with cold light, and finally gritted their teeth and rushed back desperately.
A moment later, there were dozens more lifeless corpses on that bloody road.
The soldiers who were killed were the soldiers of the Ajada tribe, and the corners of Adada's mouth, whose arms were bandaged with a white cloth, moved, and finally said nothing.
Inexplicably lost Fengcheng, which was originally dominant, and suddenly became at a disadvantage, speaking of which, Ayanda has to bear a lot of responsibility.
Gu Taibai gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted loudly, "Gu Bo." ”
"The subordinates are here."
"You lead the ironclad team to attack, you can't take it, come to see me."
"Take the order, swear to finish the mission!"
Gubo replied loudly, then turned around and went to mobilize the army.
The safety of Liancheng is directly related to the eastward expansion plan of Dashi, and the victory or defeat is in this move, and Gu Taibai has to play his trump card.
The ironclad team is the most elite unit under Gu Taibai's command, and everyone's equipment is carefully built, and they have repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the war in the river, which can be regarded as Gu Taibai's trump card of pressing the box.
After killing his own people, Ah Lida was originally dissatisfied, and when he saw Gu Taibai sending his cousin and elite to attack the city, he hesitated, gritted his teeth, and let his soldiers follow behind to attack the city.
Houthi, Bilchin and the others glanced at each other, and at the same time sent soldiers to charge together.
This is the last chance, the sky is beginning to dawn, the Tang army in Wangcheng is attacking, Fengcheng is throwing the Tang army in the slaughter, up and down, especially the Tang army on the peak city, more and more fighting, if this time can not be attacked, there will be no courage and capital to fight in the future.
"Kill, kill, slaughter all the Tang dogs."
"Go to the city wall, seal a hundred households, and take a thousand gold."
"If we don't take Fengcheng, we will be a death, and the left and right will be a death, and we will fight with the Tang dogs."
Under the backwater battle, everyone broke out with unprecedented determination and rushed forward desperately.
Rushing to the front, Gu Bo grabbed a wooden shield and flew forward, only to see him jump left and right, dodging several waves of arrow rain in a row, and rushing to a place about ten zhang away from the city wall of Fengcheng at once.
With a "whew", a crossbow arrow broke through the air, and the Tang army found that someone was approaching, and aimed the crossbow arrow at Gu Bo, seeing that he was about to be shot, Gu Bo subconsciously blocked the shield in his hand in front of him.
With a "bang", the wooden shield shattered in response, and the crossbow arrow shot through Gu Bo's armpit, without hurting Gu Bo in the slightest, and at this time, another wave of arrow rain struck.
There was no shield in front of him, no shield in his hand, and when he saw that Gu Bo was about to be shot by a sharp arrow, he said that it was slow and fast, only to see Gu Bo bend down and mention it, and grab a corpse from the ground to block the front, and the corpse was instantly shot into a hedgehog, but Gu Bo was still safe and sound.
After two tribulations in a row, Gu Bo's confidence increased greatly, and he waved the corpse with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Great Eclipse, follow me!" ”
Seeing Gu Bo so brave, the courage of the Great Food Soldiers doubled, and one by one they roared in response to the heavens and the earth, braving the rain of arrows of the Tang Army, desperately attacking Fengcheng.
"General Gu, Brother Ling is really brave and champion of the three armies." Arida said with some flattery.
Danbai echoed: "With such a fierce general, why worry about the big thing." ”
"It really deserves to be the first warrior of the Great Food, with General Gubo personally leading the team, these local chickens and dogs of the Tang Army are simply vulnerable."
Everyone complimented, Gu Taibai's mood also became happy, when he saw that Gu Bo was making good progress, he had quickly rushed to the city wall, and said with some pride: "You have been promoted, Gu Bo is just doing what he should do, of course, if he can take the peak city, Ben will personally ask for credit for him." ”
Gu Bokong was powerful, and the corpse of more than 100 catties was nothing in his hands, and he swept it up and down with one hand, turning it into his human shield.
Not to mention anything else, this arm strength alone is amazing.
Hussei thought the most, and when he saw Gu Bo so brave, he suddenly had the idea of marriage, and said with a smile Gu Taibai said: "General Gu, I heard that Brother Ling has only one wife in the family, too little, not worthy of his bravery, I have a niece, sixteen years old, looks like a flower and moon, and admires the hero boy the most, if you don't dislike it, you can give Brother Ling a side house." ”
There is a cousin who is a general, and he can follow the light in the future, and with Gubo's bravery, it is only a matter of time before he climbs up, and Husé has the heart to find a backer in Dashi, so he is willing to give the beautiful niece in the clan to Gubo as a partial house.
Gu Taibai laughed: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, but it's better to ask him what he means about this matter, hahaha..."
Just when Gu Taibai was proud, Gu Bo relied on his flexible body to dodge two pieces of wood and five rolling stones in a row, and he was getting closer and closer to the position of the city wall.
"Die!" A roar of octaves suddenly came from the direction of Fengcheng, and everyone looked along the place where the sound came from, only to see a person who looked like an officer, and after shouting, he threw out the pole gun in his hand violently, and then only a scream.
When the screams sounded, Gu Taibai, who was still smiling just now, had a stunned face, and then his face turned blue, revealing a sad and helpless gaze.
The spear pierced through the corpse's back door, through the body, through Gubo's body, and then nailed to the ground, as if nailing the two into a meat skewer.
If Gu Taibai could see Gu Bo's eyes up close, there was despair inside, and his hand was stretched out in the air, but he was still about a foot away from the position of the city wall.
vowed to capture the peak city, but I didn't expect it to be death, and I didn't even touch the city wall.
Guo Ziyi, who was on the wall, shook his arm that was too strong just now, and a sneer appeared on his lips: If you want to touch the city wall, first ask yourself if you agree.
Dead a Gubo, but forced to have no choice but to have no enemies, desperately rushed forward at any cost, people crowded people, shoulder to shoulder, and some people shouted for revenge for Gubo.
"Quick, shoot arrows."
"Roll the wood."
"Stone the girl to death."
Guo Ziyi, Kuro and others continued to fight under their command, and under the impact of the enemy at any cost, Fengcheng began to suffer casualties, because those enemies took the initiative to attack the Tang army on the city wall with bows and arrows after approaching.
The tiger head team occupies the advantage of the terrain, every arrow shot, most of them have harvest, every time they put wood and rolling stones, there are kills, the problem is that there are too many enemies, so many that they are like wheat in the field where they can't see the head, cut a stubble and a stubble, after nearly half an hour of high-intensity attack, even from the brave and good fighting tiger head team, there is also a phenomenon of weakness.
I don't know how many arrows I shot, I don't know how many stones I smashed, many people felt that their hands were sore, and their feet were soft, what made Guo Ziyi's heart cold was that the arrows, crossbow arrows, wood and rolling stones were about to run out, and a large number of enemy troops had rushed to the city wall of Fengcheng, some people began to climb, and some people began to destroy.
Xu Shan said anxiously: "What should I do?" The thieves are coming up. ”
"General Hualimu, do you still have supplies? What the? No? ”
"It's really vicious, he didn't leave us if he set it on fire, and he originally wanted to demolish the house to find wood."
"I've earned enough for a long time, brothers, fight with them."
The crowd shouted anxiously, and many rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight the enemy besieging the city to the death.
Hearing someone complaining about "setting fire to it", Guo Ziyi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Fire, by the way, set fire, brothers, bring all the fire oil, I want to burn the city!" ”
