Chapter Forty-Seven: The Bolt and the New Ding
The war drums in Qitaihe City have not stopped since that day.
The bolt shot the last bolt in his hand, and then rushed to the mouth of the battlement, and with a fork he struggled to overturn the enemy's ladder, and without having a chance to catch his breath, he picked up his shield and stood on this gap, and there was an incessant clanging sound from above.
The Xianbei people are crazy, and more and more Xianbei people are coming out of the forest. These are like ocean waves, constantly crashing towards the Qitai River. In the end, it was smashed into pieces by the reef-like Qitai River.
The sky is full of stones, ever since the arrows ran out. Xianbei people can get close to the city, and the Wuduo in their hands is thrown vigorously. As long as you get hit, even if you are wearing a helmet, you will inevitably have your head broken and bleeding. If you are hit, congratulations. Jin Xiaosan'er, who was lying there, looked like this, and the bones on his entire face were shattered. Lying there, there was blood spurting from the mouth and nose, and there was no breath, and it was obvious that he would not live long.
There are countless stones along the river, which provides the Xianbei people with unlimited ammunition. Thousands of people threw it with great momentum, and there were so many stones that it seemed to be raining. There is no way to hide, and the Qitai River is not like the Han Realm, where there are hidden caves in the city to avoid arrows. The city wall here is actually just a stone wall made of stone more than three feet high.
Whether or not you can be hit by a stone is really a matter of luck. The life of the stone was relatively bad, and a fist-sized stone hit the helmet. The creature actually took off his helmet to show off, and the second stone landed firmly in his temple. The brain melon cover flew away, and it was sprinkled red and white on the ground. A lot of flies landed on it and got caught.
It's not good to call it something, you have to call it such an illegal name!
The bolt was lucky and held the walls for three days. I was stunned that I wasn't hit by a stone, and I went back to worship God religiously. Thank you for his blessing!
The stones stopped raining, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps under the city. It's always raining these days, and the animal skin boots of the Xianbei people are stepping on the dirt with a "poof" and "poof" sound. You can hear it from afar.
The lifeless Xianbei man started to climb the city again, and his grandmother's would do it. There was nothing fresh at all, and the siege engines that had beaten them were ignited by the fire oil poured down from their pockets as they stormed the city gates. The Xianbei people never used siege engines again. Today, the only siege engine is on display at the gates of the city with the charred soldiers.
"Wang Da fool, help the handle!" The bolt pillar alone can't lift the iron wolf teeth. This is a kind of iron cable with two sides. In the middle was a mace weighing 200 pounds and covered with spikes. As long as there's a ladder anywhere, put this thing down. The humble soldiers will fall in strings, and the most satisfying thing is that. This thing has inverted chains on both sides and pulleys on the sides. As long as you hang it on the pulley, you can easily pull it up again. It has achieved the purpose of repeated use without wasting resources.
So far, the results have been gratifying, just by looking at the minced meat on the spikes. The Xianbei people suffered heavy casualties under this thing.
There were too many Xianbei people, and a few Xianbei people still rushed up. These guys are clearly mentally disturbed. With a roar, he waved the big wooden stick in his hand and rushed up.
The bolt didn't have time to pull up the iron wolf's fangs, and he picked up a spear and plunged into the back of a humble soldier. Before the spear could be drawn, another Xianbei sergeant had already climbed up. Pull out the waist knife, and the head is a knife. The soldier blocked him with a wooden stick, and the pillar used all his strength to push him off the city. Then he picked up a fork and overturned the ladder.
In the end, his physical strength is not as good as before, and he has been holding on to the city for three days. After today, you can go down and rest all day. If it was three days ago. The knife he just used could split people in half with a stick. Not now, I can only leave deep knife marks on the stick. but they could not cut off the great stick. Inflict damage on the enemy.
A series of movements made the lungs of the bolt column gasp like pulling bellows, and one person guarded one zhang wide in the morning. Now it has become a person guarding two feet, and the five hundred gentlemen who are pulled up in the morning. Half of it was hit by a rain of stones in the morning.
If only there were arrows, and those hateful people who had arrows would not dare to come so close again. The Xianbei people have learned to be obedient, and they will not see the arrows they shoot back. It's just throwing rocks back and forth, how much the hell is going on the riverside of this thing. Throw off half a year. There will be no problem.
Just when the bolt pillar thought that he could not hold on, the horn of the Xianbei people sounded. Three long and two short, I don't know which two hundred and five take this as a retreat signal.
The bolt sat down on the ground and let the Xianbei sergeant retreat like a tide. These days, such a scene has become all too familiar. Sore legs stretched straight. The tongue sticks out like a dog. No one thought about cutting off the enemy's head or ears or other parts to repay the merit, and everyone was still doing these boring things at first. But now, no one is in the mood to do this.
At this time, you can drink a sip of water and eat a bowl of beef stewed mountain vegetables. Take a good rest, better than anything else. Who knows if those Xianbei people who are dying endlessly will attack like this crazy in the afternoon.
The captain's shout sounded at the head of the city: "The first team is the whole team, the second team is the whole team, the third team is the whole team, the mouth is broken, and the people next to the side who can't speak can help report the number." ”
Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at the big fool next to him, who had his front teeth knocked out by a flying stone. Now he was leaking from his words, and his two broken lips hung on his face like bacon. Through the swollen slit, the tongue inside can be seen directly.
Prick up your ears and listen carefully, this attack sent the thirty-three men down. If you don't add new people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive until dark. God knows, these crazy Xianbei people will attack overnight.
Life and death are commonplace! The bolt wanted to say this, this is what the veteran said when he first entered the army, and the veteran did not say it impassionedly, but said it very plainly, as if he was saying that I had already eaten.
The body of the stone was carried down by the people, and a new face appeared in front of the bolt. He was responsible for defending the defensive area left by the stones, and one man defended three arrow stacks. This is a soldier's greatest defensive ability.
There are still shouts of killing somewhere in the eastern city, and it looks like the attack there is still raging. The bolt kept praying that his brother would not have an accident, and that he was so lucky, and the luck of the eldest brother should not be too bad.
The newcomer was kind and put on stone armor. He put on a stone helmet and picked up a spear and a saber. He walked over and leaned against the bolt, and reached out and took out two melons from his arms. I checked it with my hand and picked a large one and gave it to the bolt post.
The bolt knew that this was a newcomer who was courting himself. However, he did not intend to talk to him, nor did he intend to associate with him. There are too many people dating these days, and everyone talks about food, women, and gambling money. But maybe not long after, the guy was hit by a rock and carried down. Some are dead, some are alive, and some are half-dead.
When I drank porridge in the morning, I also talked to the stone. When the battle is over, go to the brothel in the city and find two Su Shen girls to have a good time. But now it seems that I can only go alone.
This year's rain is enough, and the melons are not very sweet. It's not very crispy, and when you bite into your mouth, you feel like you're biting through cotton pants. But fortunately, the water content is very large, and it is also good to chew it in your mouth to moisten your throat.
The newcomer looked left and right, and sneakily stuffed a row of bolts into the bolt. Twenty-four crossbow arrows with oil seals that had not yet been opened, bronze arrows glittering in the sun.
"Where did this thing come from, it stopped shipping yesterday." The bolt was very surprised, if there were crossbow arrows. Wouldn't let those guys with Udo get so close.
"My brother-in-law was on an errand in the treasury and deducted it privately. He didn't have much there, so he left me half of it. Dude will divide half of you, and my brother-in-law will go to Xicheng. I don't know what will happen, are these Xianbei people crazy? ”
"Who the fuck knows, these guys have eaten something. actually attacked for more than ten days in a row, could it be that there were wolves in the forest of his grandmother to chase them? ”
The bolt replied, and then found a tattered linen cloth and began to wipe the butter from the arrowhead. The three-edged bronze arrowhead was chilling, and the bolt was going to use it to kill a few bastards who threw Udo.
He didn't ask for the names of the new guys, he had just vowed not to ask them again. It is too unlucky to inquire about one and die another.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound from below the city, followed by a foul smell. When the new guy smelled the stench, he immediately threw the melon in his hand, and as soon as it hit the ground, it was covered by a swarm of flies.
"What does this thing stink?" The new guy kept fanning his nose.
"It's a dead man's belly, and it's been a long time since a person died. It rained and soaked in the sun. The belly gets bigger little by little, and the belly bursts if it can't hold it. You're a good kid, and one time a guy was eating. encountered a burst belly, and as a result, the intestines fell into the bowl. It's a pity that bowl of beef stew with mushrooms. ”
"Vomit ......!" The new guy retched a few times, and then vomited on his stomach with the arrows.
"Fuck me!" The bolt was quick and fished the person back. Almost at the same time, a rock flew over the scalp of the new guy. The stone grazed the helmet with an unpleasant grinding sound.
"You're fucking dead, you don't want to poke your head outside. If you want to die, stay away from Lao Tzu, how disgusting it is to spray Lao Tzu's brains. As soon as he stabbed himself, he shielded himself with his shield and reprimanded the new fellow. To do so on the city wall is a standard act of death.
The new guy broke out in a cold sweat, but he seemed to have forgotten to vomit. I don't seem to be too repulsed by the annoying taste of belly, and I sit on the ground with my legs crossed. With his mouth wide open and his tongue sticking out, he panted like a dog.
"Eat, eat. Roasted pork ribs with wild vegetables, and a pot of steamed wine! The fat cook's voice came from afar. Suddenly, the trumpets sounded from the Xianbei people again.
", can't you come back after dinner?" (To be continued......)
