19. Gao Tailang came to help
At this time, the emperor understood why the horses of Fengtian City cultivated by Gao Yue were not flat, but zigzag shapes.
He had pointed to the bronze map of the city and asked, but no one gave him a satisfactory answer.
On the third and fifth horses of the north wall, the soldiers who rushed up from Baili City carried all kinds of materials taken from the arsenal: large crossbow arms, nooses, roulette wheels, and large bowstrings that were wound and reinforced, and began to assemble two large ballistae under the protection of the archers under the tent.
At the same time, the "Great Cloud Beam" created by the rebels had crossed the moat and was only 30 feet away from the central horse face of the north wall where Hun Yang was stationed.
With a loud bang, the wooden planks on the top floor of the Great Cloud Beam were pulled up, revealing the jagged wooden female wall, behind which were the selected archers from the Changwu Army, and in their eyes, the northern wall of Fengtian City was under a drop of two zhang, and the soldiers on it were running and crawling in the overlook.
"Shoot!" The archers of the Changwu Army behind the female wall shot down the arrows on the bow in their hands like a storm after a few bangs.
Several tooth soldiers around Hun Yang couldn't dodge, some were hit by arrows in the head, some were shot in the neck, and they fell almost at the same time.
Hun Xuan himself was also hit by an arrow with armor on his shoulder, and suddenly the general felt a surge of pain, and fell to the head of the city, unable to lift his left arm again.
Guo Xiaofeng stepped forward with a round card, grabbed Hun Xuan's back neck armor, and pulled him back lifelessly, "Hun Jinwu, I'm here to save you!" β
On the top floor of the Great Cloud Beam, a party fanzi shooter with his right arm exposed stood up, and his goal was to shoot Hun Yang accurately.
Many of the long soldiers beside him recognized Hun Xuan, who also belonged to the Shuofang military system, and someone instructed the Fan Zi shooter, "The one who is dragged is Hun Xuan!" β
At the same time, someone scolded, "Into your mother, who dares to shoot Hun Jinwu!" β
After all, Hun Xuan's prestige in Shuofang's army is not ordinarily high.
But Na Fan Zi still raised his bow, and in the creaking sound, he pulled the strings of the six bows in his hand.
The cluster of arrows was aimed at the neck of Hun Xuan, who was being dragged by Guo Xiaofeng.
At the moment when Fanzi was about to play the strings, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and then there was a bang in front of his eyes, and countless blood colors burst out, and then he looked up and saw the blue sky of Fengtian City shaking rapidly, and the sound behind his head was loud, and then all things and colors turned into black silence.
This Fan Zimei had an arrow in his heart, and he was killed in a piece of exclamation.
The arrow was shot by Cai Fonu at the entrance of another virgin wall.
Guo Xiaofeng glanced at him.
Cai Fonu didn't say anything, just a look in his eyes, "Quickly drag Hun Jinwu to safety." β
Guo Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, braved the rain of arrows, put Hun Ying on his body, and ran along the pedal road to the dining shed under the wall.
And Cai Fonu threw down the bow, held the Mo knife tightly in his hand, and held it across his chest.
He and the other Divine Counsellors were left on the north wall.
The planks of the second layer of the Great Cloud Beam were rumbled down like a bird's beak and buckled to the battlements of the north wall.
The second layer is full of elites at the level of ten generals selected by the Changwu Army and the Huaining Army, each wearing heavy armor, holding swords and axes, and protecting themselves with side cards.
On the opposite side, Cai Fonu and the Shence sergeants who swore to defend the north wall to the death also clenched the Changji, Mo Knife, and Fengzui Knife in their hands, and aimed at the second floor of the Great Cloud Beam in unison.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The sword and axe soldiers in the big cloud beam formed a tight formation, people next to people, armor rubbing armor, constantly raising the weapons in their hands, violently beating the side cards, and then stepping on the wooden plank, began to approach Cai Fonu.
"We are all the protectors of the Son of Heaven, and there is no traitor who covets the national treasure!" One of the Divine Commanders shouted as he drew his sword.
"The children of the gods are here!" Cai Fonu and the other disciples shouted in unison.
When it was too late, the third and fifth protruding horse-faced walls, each with several calves shouting, their horns lowered, their backs arched high, under the whipping and drinking orders of the Baili Tianshi, pulling the "hook" transformed by the coulter, pulling the thick strings, and slowly pulling the double crossbow arms to the extreme of bending.
After the jamming, another Tian Shi lifted the iron crossbow arrows like anchors and pushed them into the chute.
The arrows were facing the towering cloud beams.
"Fat!"
With this shout, the hammer slammed down.
The big crossbow teeth on the fifth horse-facing wall slammed, the crossbow arm flicked violently, and the tail of the "Iron Anchor Crossbow Arrow" dragged the rope and flew out in a stinging way, and then the big cloud beam shook violently, and the first and second layers seemed to be tilted towards the east.
The iron anchor arrow pierced straight behind the wooden plank, and the claw-shaped tuft head was upside down, and it was dead in the inner layer of the big cloud beam.
Then the crossbow in the third place also stabbed and shot a crossbow arrow with a rope in tow, piercing the other side of the big cloud beam.
The big cloud beam shook a few more times, and then skewed to the west.
At this time, Cai Fonu saw that on the big cloud beam in front of him, the group of archers and sword and axe hands of Changwu and Huaining all let out a desperate wail at the same time.
At the side of the big crossbow on the wall of the two horses, the Baili Chengtian began to pull the roulette wheel, and the rope dragged by the crossbow arrow continued to roll back.
The two directions were involved at the same time, and the first, second, third and fourth layers of the big cloud beam slowly began to be "misplaced".
It trembled and struggled in the air, emitting a strange sound that could be heard throughout the city of Mukden and beyond.
On the Qianling Plain, Li Huaiguang, Li Xilie, and Zhu Jun involuntarily took a few steps forward, their faces pale - on the big cloud beam, there were already desperate rebel soldiers who were unwilling to be stoned to death in the collapse, and kept jumping down like falling leaves, and then fell to pieces one by one under the city wall or in the trench, Li Xilie trembled and covered his eyes with his fingers.
Li Huaiguang bit his lip and trembled terribly.
Zhu Jun took two more steps back, and he began to think about more additional things.
The screams of the rebel soldiers on the edge of the Great Cloud Beam shook the earth and retreated like a tideβthe huge siege tower, like a giant, broke its head and broken its shoulder, and then the dust rose from the north wall of Mukden, and the frantic wind almost tore off Cai Fonu's iron helmet.
The Great Cloud Beam collapsed, completely collapsed, and hundreds or even thousands of people in its belly could not escape, and were buried in it, becoming flour or meatloaf......
The emperor on the bell tower was dumbfounded.
Princess Tang An in the drum tower also opened her small mouth, so shocked that she couldn't possess her body.
At this moment, the bell and drum behind the emperor were suddenly sounded lifelessly.
"What's going on!" Li Shi turned around, and his voice changed.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord!" Tan Zhizhong, Huo Zhongtang, Ma Chengqian and other more than a dozen lieutenants all knelt on the ground, hurriedly pointing to the window over there.
The Emperor paused, then took a few quick steps forward, and he stood at the window.
On the highest peak in the west of the city, there is a beacon ridge, which is responsible for the liaison between Fengtian City and Jingyuan and Suining.
At this moment, the blazing reeds and smoke rose from it, burning with the dim sunlight of the winter snow, drifting with the wind before the emperor's eyes.
"Yes, it's Captain Duan and Gao Tailang's reinforcements here!" Huo Zhongtang said excitedly to the emperor, and then he raised his neck and shouted: "God bless me Tang!" β
"God bless me Don!" All the lieutenants shouted together, accompanied by a feverish prostration.
The Emperor nodded, here and there, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and his emotions could not be contained, and tears slipped silently down his cheeks until his beard was wet.
