145 Critical Moments
"Boom!!"
Before Zhao Xingdou's words fell, there was a muffled sound in Hunan here, accompanied by a few wails, and then a corner of the city head "Bang!" There was a loud bang.
Zhao Xingdou and the others inquired about the prestige, and immediately retracted their smiles with gloomy faces, it turned out that it was a group of Xiangyong who operated the tiger squat cannon unfavorably, which caused the artillery to explode, and the Xiangyong who operated the artillery was killed on the spot, not to mention, the flying more than 100 catties of heavy iron cannon also injured several soldiers by mistake.
Affected by this, the village warriors who then operated the artillery became more and more cautious and frightened, and finally the artillery firing speed became slower and slower, making the pace of the indigenous siege much lighter.
This is exactly what Du Rui is most worried about, and now the only thing that can suppress the powerful offensive of the natives on the city wall below is the dozen or so artillery pieces left at the head of the wall. The indigenous warriors in the city, together with the nearly 400 indigenous warriors of the coalition army of Nabengang, had already been completely lost in the siege of the city in the eight or nine days, and like the Bengang soldiers, only more than 100 remnants remained. It is impossible to imagine shooting from a long distance with a longbow as at the beginning, and leading the bow to suppress the natives below to attack the city.
At this time, the aborigines on the opposite side had a new move, and several towers that had been parked more than ten zhang away for a long time were now also under the traction of hundreds of natives, slowly moving towards the city wall of Bengang.
This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave! Zhao Xingdou was at a loss at this time, in the face of the enemy's strong offensive, now all the team members in their city were fighting, and no one dared to stay.
I don't know when, Wu Hu, who was seriously injured and had not recovered, took a group of wounded people who could still walk up to the city wall, and rushed towards the fiery battlefield on the wall with weak hands and feet!
"You bastard, you can't recuperate in the city, come up and make some trouble, why don't you get out of here!!" Zhao Xingdou, who was free, scolded Wu Hu with a cold face. As the eldest son of his eldest brother, at this critical moment, Zhao Xingdou naturally hoped that Wu Hu, the wounded, could stay away from the battle, so he would leave a back for Wu Daofu's family.
He was not worried about the safety of Chen Yumo and his family members in the inner city, even if this Bengang was really broken, the few warships that had been cruising on the river outside the dock would come ashore and take the Bengang family members away from this place.
It's just that the only thing that makes him haunted is that Wu Daofu has sent a signal to come back many days ago, why has he still not seen them so far, is there something unexpected!
"Hehe, it's all this time, we still have some wounded to talk about in Bengang, but anyone who can still wield a weapon can all come up to help at this moment!" Wu Hu smiled innocently, and slashed at a native opposite with a long knife in his hand. The knife fell in his hand, and the other party did not watch out for Wu Hu's huge strength, and was stunned that together with the weapon of the long knife, it was split into two pieces by Wu Hu, and on the head that was cut in half obliquely, blood splashed up one or two feet high, spraying Wu Hu's body.
"Hmph, make a mess for Lao Tzu!" Since the nephew did not listen to persuasion, and the city wall did need manpower at this time, in the end, Zhao Xingdou still scolded with a cold face, which can be regarded as agreeing with Wu Hu's actions.
Finally repelled a group of natives who had climbed the city wall, and at this time several towers were already under the traction of the natives below, and they were only a few feet away from the city wall, and they were about to land on top of the inner city wall.
Tightening the long knife in his hand, Zhao Xingdou knew that the most severe test for them was at this time. It is not as good as the natives carried by the long ladder before, if the tower is close at this time, there will be at least one or two hundred natives on this floor, and several towers together, in terms of the number alone, I am afraid that it is not as rare as the warriors and villagers standing at the head of the wall at this time.
"Brothers, the city is here, don't let down the camp owner's expectations of us!!" At this time, Zhao Xingdou, who saw the hesitation in everyone's hearts, shouted, and immediately retracted everyone's minds.
Bengang team members, until this time, even if most of the dead and wounded, can still hold on to this day, but it is related to Li Tianyang's cultivation and infusion of beliefs, and among the team members, those who occupy positions such as captain and captain are mostly young people from Tanmen, and more than ten years of getting along and cultivating make everyone convinced from the bottom of their hearts that Li Tianyang promised the future, and they are willing to fight to the death for their common beliefs. Otherwise, no matter how tenacious a team is, it is impossible for them to still fight to the death under such heavy losses, and even border veterans such as Du Rui are moved.
Now that Zhao Xingdou reminded them, everyone remembered Li Tianyang's Yin Yin expectations, and couldn't help but cheer up again, boost morale and glared at the approaching tower.
Under the wall, because of the proximity of the tower, there were no more natives climbing up the long ladder, which saved the trouble of the team members at the head of the city.
โduang!โ
The wooden wall of the tower, which was close to the side of the wall, fell and fell leaning on the high wall, just as the stepping stone of the group of indigenous warriors who sharpened their knives on the tower.
A group of natives who had long been ready to attack rushed down from the arrow tower on the top with a scream, and Tarzan rushed into the Bengang team members like a top.
Fighting and fighting, it entered the climax in an instant, whether it was the Bengang side or the indigenous side, it was very clear that this siege activity was also the final decisive battle between each other, no matter which side was defeated, the situation would become irretrievable, and there was no luck.
It is the indigenous team that has been besieging the city for several days, if this siege is fruitless, the sacrifice of many days of fighting, plus this all-out attack, without the killer weapon of the tower, it is impossible to organize the next wave of siege.
Eventually, however, the situation shifted in favour of the indigenous side.
The Bengang team members, who could still support themselves under the geographical advantage of the city wall, faced with the hundreds of soldiers who were sent to the city wall at once, could only fight a tie at most under the usual recuperation, and now when they were weak, they could no longer block the opponent's strong attack, even with the help of grenades and other sharp weapons, they could only fight and retreat in the direction of the Yongdao behind them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of a bowstring bouncing behind him, and a large number of feathered arrows pierced the sky and shot towards the other side of the wall.
Pumping, Zhao Xingdou and the others looked back, I don't know when, but Chen Yumo appeared in the corridor behind them with more than a hundred strong indigenous warriors, and at this time they were pulling the bowstring and shooting wildly towards the opposite side.
Then he looked around, and between the surrounding walls and corridors, there were many people rushing towards the place where the fighting was most fierce.
With the help of this reinforcement, the Bengang team members and the villagers who had been repulsed finally stood on their heels again and withstood the opponent's strong offensive to the death.
