298 Unexpected
"Boom...... Rumble...... Ah......h
"Holy! This is...... Arm...... "The power of the explosion is really not small, the effect is invisible, but the ears are already buzzing."
This is not the most troublesome, the trouble is that with the explosion of the city, there was a rain of blood, all kinds of wood chips, rotten meat, severed limbs and heads and faces smashed down, and a section of the arm smashed directly on Hong Tao's helmet, and there was a bracer inlaid with copper nails on it. It seems to be of good quality, but its arms have been blown off and it is fine.
"Don't hide, continue to throw the second wave of ......" and Hong Tao had the same experience, many of the vanguards began to vomit again, or instinctively wanted to stay away from these stumps and broken arms.
"I'll let you ......!" There was also movement on the wooden ladder while speaking, Hong Tao didn't see what the other party looked like, and he raised his hand for a moment, and there was no one to find someone with a good crossbow string.
He really wanted to look down, but he couldn't help listening to the sound of arrows hitting the battlements. The Xia people were also shooting desperately, regardless of their own mistakes, they also wanted to suppress the counterattack on the city wall and create opportunities for the robes who climbed the city.
It's a pity that it's all useless, and no Song people show their heads, but the things that can blow up the thick wooden planks and blow people away keep falling from above, rolling everywhere along the ice, rolling near whoever can only pray to the gods and Buddhas for blessing.
But it seems to be a little late, and the gods and Buddhas have all left work, and they haven't blessed once. Not only did it not bless it, but it also rained down the heavenly fire, which burned so that it was a cheerful one. The doors were on fire, the siege ladders were on fire, the living and the dead were on fire, and even the cold ice was burning.
"Change the hornet's nest and launch a wave in fifty steps." Hong Tao's legs were almost numb, and he didn't wait for anyone to show up on the ladder, the fire outside the city had already reflected in the city, and it seemed that the fire was not small.
It should be enough, if the Xia people can still hold on to this kind of fire, then they will take Lian'er and the children's group to climb the mountain and escape for their lives, but they can't beat it. If you retreat, the door panel formation will definitely be chaotic, and it should be a good choice to chase the ass and shoot a wave.
"God won't help you......" Soon there was a miserable chirp on the city wall, and dozens of hornet's nests were launched.
Compared with the daytime, the rocket at night is more enchanting, and it is more beautiful than the fireworks bombs released during the Spring Festival in later generations. And at this time the wind rose, the northwest wind, and the smoke on the city walls was blown by the wind and drifted out of the city.
"Stop, stop...... Continue to swap out thunderbolts and canisters, spray oil onto their ladders with a canister, and rest in place. "What is the reaction of the enemy outside the city, Hong Tao doesn't plan to look, so as to respond to all changes, as long as no one climbs up to the top of the city, what do you like.
Wait for the enemy to throw two more waves of fire oil cans at more gathering points outside the city, and it will be consumed, and it will be okay to wait for the fire oil cans and thunderbolts to be used up, and there are still hundreds of barrels of black powder in the warehouse, and it is estimated that it will be quite loud if they are lit and thrown down.
If you have the ability, you can fill in the city wall with corpses, or that sentence, if the Xia people are so fearless of life and death, we will run away, and it is a big deal to go back to Kaifeng and be an honest horse, and by the way, we will do some maritime business with the crown family. If you have the opportunity, you can take your family and run away by boat, what is a big Song and a big Song, the master really can't save it.
It turned out that no matter how strong the body was, it could not be tormented by iron and fire, and the Xia people launched two more charges, and then the horn sounded, and the tune was long and sad.
"My lord, the Xia people have withdrawn ......" Hearing this tune, Jiang Dalang had a smile on his face, and he won again, without even seeing the face of an enemy.
"Withdraw? Think beautifully, scale 300 steps, ignition! "Come and go if you want to come, this is Hong Tao's pursuit, others want to play like this, it is not allowed, chasing the ass and beating is a must.
Three hundred steps, four hundred steps, five hundred steps, three consecutive salvos, the scene is very beautiful. The longer the firing distance, the more enchanting the rocket's tail flame becomes. The smoke was blown out of the city by the wind, like a thick layer of fog on the ground, which was very strange under the light of the stars and the moonlight.
It's just that the wails that come from time to time are not harmonious, and together with a few piles of still burning flames, this mood is ruined. By the light of the fire, the smoke was pierced, and the sins that covered it were exposed.
The corpses in various postures were hideous, some of them had been charred, but they were still twisted and intertwined, and the fuel for the flames seemed to be them, or so they were.
In the second half of the night, the sky and the earth were quiet, the enemy was gone, the trumpets were gone, the shrill howls were gone, the explosions were gone, and the wails were gradually gone. But the smell came, and the smell of burning hair permeated the city even in the wind, and even if you hid in the house, you couldn't escape.
Because he couldn't figure out what the Xia people on the other side were doing, Hong Tao did not give the order to clean up the battlefield, and the smell was worse than the dead and wounded, and everything had to wait until dawn.
Speaking of casualties, there are also casualties in the city, and even such obscene tactics cannot be completely avoided. Three officers were killed and wounded when they were hit by arrows that came in through the firing ports while replacing hornet's nests and thunderbolts.
The two injured are estimated to not survive, this kind of abdominal wound cannot be treated, and the arrow still has barbs, so it can only be seen by God's will. There were also two chamber servants who actually fell from the city wall by themselves, but fortunately, the fractures could still be treated.
In the early hours of the morning, there was another rolling thunder in the valley, which sounded some distance. After a night of fierce fighting, they could no longer sleep, for fear that others would not be familiar with how to fight, and that it would be dangerous if the enemy was let in, and they planned to continue their duties.
"All go back to sleep, the enemy has withdrawn, and the large battalion opposite is estimated to be empty. But don't think it's going to be fine, they'll have to come back in two or three days. ”
Others don't know what these thunders are, Hong Tao must know. Jiang Erlang's side also launched, it must have been the Xia people who secretly withdrew their troops overnight, and they were still in a hurry, but the number of people who launched the avalanche was enough, and Jiang Erlang punished them on behalf of God.
But no matter how powerful the avalanche is, it will not bury tens of thousands of people, and the march in the valley cannot use a phalanx, no matter how urgent it is, it will have to be a long snake formation, and one or two avalanches will not bury many people. The biggest possibility is to find a canyon terrain to make a few more avalanches, bury as many as you can, and the rest of the people can only take a detour when they see that there is no road ahead.
Once they entered the mountainside, Jiang Erlang's special forces were on the home front. Not only can there be an avalanche there, but also a large army cannot be passed, and the Xia people can only disperse and break through, and it is good to be able to find the right direction and not get lost.
Before finding out the remaining number of enemies, Hong Tao did not plan to go out with the box service to take advantage of the fire to rob, the combat ability of the Western Xia army has been seen in the past few days, and it is still good, even if it encounters a few hundred remnants, it may not be able to take advantage of the box service alone.
Hong Tao planned to let hunger and cold torment them for two days before going out to pick up the half-dead. In the past two days, let the special forces give full play to it, in this kind of terrain, a group of ten special forces is a big killer.
There may be a few scorpion crossbows hidden in the snow, in the canopy of trees, and behind rocks, and they will run away after the fight, or they will not stop day and night, and whoever touches them will know the taste.
But the news from the lookout post at noon was somewhat surprising that there was an army of Xia people still in formation, and about 300 people were crawling along the eastern ridge, apparently to bypass the valley where the avalanche had occurred, and then continue to find a way to go north.
The special forces have no good way to take this unit, and the other side also has a strong crossbow and is not too flustered, and can immediately organize an effective counterattack in the event of an attack. For this reason, several special forces were also killed and wounded, and Jiang Erlang could only lead people to follow and harass them, slowing them down as much as possible.
"Take the map and ......" Hong Tao had just finished lunch and got into the hot quilt and hugged Lian'er to dream, and immediately got up after hearing the news.
After such a blow, it can still form a collective action, and it is obvious that there is still a command. In other words, there is an enemy commander in this team, and if you don't know it, it is the supreme commander.
The ancients often had a pro-army when they fought wars, sometimes it was a township party, sometimes it was a distant group of relatives or something. This army is very strong and loyal, and it is both good and bad with the main general.
Whoever is allowed to go can't let this team go, it seems that the servants should also shed some blood, not because they are ruthless but forced by the situation. Just killing people can't train a strong army, you must get dead.
