Chapter 832: Felling

(2-in-1.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Xie: I want to vote for a monthly ticket, Zhang Bin, travelsoloz, three yellow teeth, 100 possible and other brothers' rewards. Xie: I have a vote for the brother who has thoughts about you. )

The situation was extremely urgent, and Wang Yuan understood that once the rolling wood and stones fell from the city, the dozens of brothers below would all be smashed into meatloaf. The door and bed boards weren't enough to withstand the arrows, let alone the falling rocks.

The stones on the head of the city began to fall, and several sassals also rolled down, knocking down seven or eight guards in an instant. Wang Yuan didn't care much, swung his sword and slashed at the city gate several times, and at the same time shouted to the guards around him to hug each other, and everyone ran a few steps and rushed towards the city gate with a rushing car composed of flesh and blood. I only heard a boom, and the broken side of the city gate was knocked out of a big hole by the force of a dozen people.

"Hide in there." Wang Yuan shouted.

Everyone hurriedly got into the hole of the city gate from the hole, and the outside was already rolling down the wood, and several injured guards did not have time to hide in, and were immediately smashed by the stones and huge trees, and were soon buried by the mess.

Everyone was terrified, but fortunately they hit a hole at the last minute, otherwise, everyone outside would have ended up like that. It's scary to think about.

Ah Luo blew up a fire fold, and suddenly the city gate of the black hole lit up. Everyone looked at the scene inside by the light of the fire fold, but they saw that in the one-zhang wide city gate hole, which extended from the middle section to the other side of the city gate, it was blocked with thick logs and other things, and these tall obstacles almost blocked all the space, completely blocking the city gate leading to the official road on the other side.

This is not unusual, this is a common method used by defenders to defend against the enemy. When the enemy army attacks the city, whether it is a large city or a small city, many times the city gate hole will be blocked with a huge stone to prevent the city gate from being breached. Of course, this method often makes oneself a turtle in an urn, and is mostly used in fortified cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the gate hole in front of him was only half blocked, and there were sandbags and a few huge crooked horses scattered where everyone was sitting. Obviously, this was done in a hurry by the defenders. In the short time that Wang Yuan and others were entangled with the rebels on the city wall, the soldiers guarding the pass hurriedly blocked half of the city gate hole and closed the city gate on the inner side of the pass. If they had had enough time, they would have been blocked and the gates would not have been able to be opened.

Wang Yuan secretly called it a fluke. After a little inspection, Wang Yuan decided to set fire to the obstacles. Although the sandbags cannot be burned, most of these obstacles are blocked by the horses of the hammers, and the things in the sandbags and mudbags are just randomly still rejecting the horses, and a lot of space is empty, and the real number is not much. If it is cleaned up manually, it is actually possible, but Wang Yuan does not want to waste too much time in this city gate cave, he is worried about Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er who are attacking the high wall, and he must rush to meet them.

The fire in the city gate cave was soon ignited, and the rocket's fuel oil bag became a combustion, and after being thrown into the fire, the fire was raging fiercely, and soon the whole city gate cave was blazing with thick smoke, and it became a large coal kiln that burned charcoal. When thick smoke mixed with tongues of fire erupted from the inner gate opening, the defenders at the head of the city were in a panic and shouted: 'Fight the fire, put out the fire'. But they soon don't have to worry about fighting fires, because a more imminent danger has already arrived. On the stone steps of the upper city to the east, two enemy soldiers rushed up the city wall that could not be stopped by random arrows. At first, the crowd didn't care about the two enemies who rushed up. However, when the two of them began to kill like ghosts, and the heads of the defenders of the city were rolling and bleeding, they finally realized that it was not just two enemy soldiers who came up, but two demons who killed without blinking.

Most of the enemy troops were actually defending at the gate of the pass, and the soldiers and horses of the Shence army that attacked the west gate of the pass attracted more than half of the troops in the pass. In fact, there were only about 2,000 troops in the entire pass. On the north city wall, more than 300 were killed by Wang Yuan and others, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, except for the more than 300 archers who needed to be stationed on the twenty or thirty arrow towers, actually only had 1,400 or 500 people left. More than 1,000 people had to defend the west gate of the pass, and the rest were all concentrated on the two high walls in the middle. There were no more than 300 defenders on the central wall to the north.

How could these more than 300 defenders resist Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er, who rushed to the city wall like tigers and wolves. After the master and apprentice rushed through the rain of arrows, they rushed into the flock like two tigresses. The enemy soldiers who rushed up to fight were not their best at all. And the master and apprentice were merciless, and the tricks they used were all one-hit killing moves, they killed back and forth on the wall dozens of steps long, and dozens of corpses fell behind them.

The archers on the three nearby towers were below zero, but they couldn't shoot arrows at all. Because most of the soldiers and horses on the city wall are their own soldiers and horses, I am not sure if they can shoot these two people by shooting arrows downward, but they will definitely shoot a large number of their own soldiers and horses. However, they soon realized that their decision had been wrong, for although there were as many as 200 of their own men on the wall, these 200 men were scattered and fled by these two men, and they had no way to fight back. The two men crisscrossed the city wall below, screaming and corpses all over the ground.

The archers on the tower finally understood that if they did not shoot them with bows and arrows, they would all be slaughtered by the brothers at the head of the city. So, they didn't care about injuring their own people by mistake, and began to chase the figures of the two on the arrow tower and shoot. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the two of them still roamed the wall below like ghosts, while their brothers fell one by one. Many people were actually killed by arrows.

Now that they had reached such a point, the archers on the towers simply didn't care about anything else, and the archers on the three towers sniped at the two men on the city wall with dense crossfire, and finally, they saw one of them stumbling to the ground, and the other hurriedly turned around and picked her up, hiding in a dead corner next to a stone house. Needless to say, one of them was clearly hit by an arrow.

The archers on the tower cheered. Finally shot one of them, and the evil breath in his heart finally came out. It wasn't a victory, but the humiliating feeling of being killed by the two men walking around the city walls and wandering through a rain of arrows was finally vented when one of them was hit by an arrow. The archers raised their eyebrows, and continued their efforts, and fired all their arrows at the other man, pinning the two men into the corner of the small stone house, unable to get out of the way.

It was Li Xin'er who was hit by the arrow, and the cross-fire of the three arrow towers was really dense, and Gongsun Lan was barely able to deal with it, let alone Li Xin'er. In addition, after the continuous killing, his strength weakened, and he was a little powerless when he moved, and finally the dancing cloak in his hand was slightly relieved, and it was pierced by a strong arrow in the middle of the shoulder. The force of the arrow was very strong, and this arrow actually pierced Li Xin'er's shoulder, and the shoulder blade was obviously shattered.

Gongsun Lan hurriedly picked her up and hid in the corner of a stone house on the high wall to avoid the arrows, and at the same time examined her wounds.

Li Xin'er's wound was bleeding profusely, half of her body was stained red with blood, her face was pale and she panted: "Master, Xin'er has dragged you down again." ”

Gongsun Lan said in a deep voice: "Don't move, endure the pain." I will draw arrows for you and bandage your wounds. Otherwise, you'll be bleeding and unconscious. ”

Li Xin'er hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry about me, go kill them." ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Don't speak, bite the placket." I'm going to draw my arrows. ”

Li Xin'er nodded helplessly, bit the placket of her clothes and turned her head, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Be careful, there is a sneak attack by enemy troops." ”

Gongsun Lan looked up, but saw dozens of frightened enemy soldiers sneakily approaching, and they saw that Gongsun Lan's master and apprentice were suppressed by the arrow tower and could not move, so they planned to quietly approach and attack. When Gongsun Lan saw them, more than a dozen arrows had already burst through the air. Gongsun Lanjiao screamed, grabbed the cloak and danced hard, but when she heard a crackling sound, the arrows and the broken arrow shaft and arrow fell to the ground. Gongsun Lan snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed a few arrows with broken arrows, and threw them without looking at them, and after a few pops, the three soldiers turned over and fell to the ground. The rest of the soldiers screamed in horror and fled, and only when they were far away did they stand still.

Gongsun Lan didn't pay attention to them anymore, turned around and pulled out the arrow on Li Xin'er's shoulder, took out the sore medicine to apply it, tore off the cloak cloth strip and bandaged the wound tightly. Li Xin'er's bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she clenched her teeth and didn't say a word.

After the bandaging was completed, Gongsun Lan frowned and looked at the city wall, and the arrows on the arrow tower whizzed and fell around, blocking the distance of more than a dozen steps outside the dead corner. In the distance, dozens of soldiers defending the city began to move slowly towards this side again, they must have wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack. Gongsun Lan is not afraid of the rain of arrows from this blockade, she is fully capable of breaking through the blockade to kill the enemy. However, Li Xin'er was injured, so she couldn't leave, and it was obviously impossible to leave Li Xin'er here alone.

"Master, don't worry about me, I can protect myself, you go and kill the enemy." Li Xin'er sat against the stone wall and gasped. Trying to grab the blade and get up.

"Mo Dong, do you want to bleed to death? The wound must scab over to stop the bleeding, and if you move around, you are looking for death. Gongsun Lan stopped sharply.

Li Xin'er was helpless, so she had to sit down slowly. Dozens of rebel soldiers learned their way, and they began to fire arrows from a distance on one side towards the place where the two were hiding. Although this hiding place is the dead end of the arrow tower, it is not the dead end of these people's arrows, the arrows are whizzing, Gongsun Lan has to use a long sword and cloak to wave and block, and he is actually harassed by these guys.

At this moment, several dark shadows appeared on the stone steps on the side of the city wall. Wang Yuan's shout also came: "Cousin, Twelve Niang, where are you?" ”

Li Xin'er was overjoyed and shouted, "Erlang, they're coming up." ”

Gongsun Lan sighed, and a smile appeared on her face.

Wang Yuan rushed to the city wall first, because the attention of the enemy troops on the city wall was on Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er, so the process of climbing the city wall almost encountered any obstacles. After rushing out of the burning gate, after a few moments, the people found the stone steps and rushed up to the city wall unimpeded.

The scene on the city wall made everyone dumbfounded, the ground was full of corpses, horizontal and vertical, it must be the masterpiece of Gongsun Lan's master and apprentice. However, Wang Yuan didn't see the scene of someone fighting, nor did he see the figure of the master and apprentice. So he cried out anxiously.

"Jiro, we're here. Watch out for arrows on the turret. Gongsun Lan's figure leaned out from a low stone house on the edge of the city wall on the other side and waved at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed forward, but found that he was swishing under the rain of arrows, and countless arrows blocked the front and back, and obviously he had also become the target of the arrow tower.

However, Wang Yuan was holding the shield of the pot lid, blocking the top of his head and rushing a few steps, and at the moment when the pot lid was burst by a powerful arrow, Wang Yuan rolled into the dead end. Behind him, Ah Luo, Qingyun'er, and Ziyun'er also rushed over with a thick door panel.

"Jiro." Li Xin'er cried out.

Only then did Wang Yuan find that Li Xin'er was sitting on the ground against the stone wall, with a thick bandage wrapped around her shoulders.

"What's wrong? Injured? Wang Yuan said in shock. Hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Li Xin'er's shoulders and took a closer look.

Li Xin'er buried her head in Wang Yuan's chest, and tears almost fell. Although she was fierce like a tigress just now, and she didn't bite when she bandaged her wounds, after seeing Wang Yuan, she couldn't help crying.

"I took the arrows and put the medicine on them, so it should be fine." Gongsun Lan said in a deep voice.

Wang Yuan sighed, stroked Li Xin'er's face and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're frightened." ”

Gongsun Lan said in a deep voice: "You came just in time, you are here to take care of the Twelve Niang, I went to take those arrow towers, and the injuries of the Twelve Niangs are due to them." These guys didn't even care about their own people in order to shoot us. I'm going to send them back to the West. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "I'll go with you." Ah Luo, it just so happens that Qing'er Zi'er also needs to rest, so you will take care of them, and my cousin and I will go and take down these three arrow towers, and we will be done. ”

Ah Luo nodded and said, "You must be careful, I was injured three at once tonight, which is really terrifying." ”

Wang Yuanyu, Li Xin'er said: "Don't say it, it's not his fault, we have to take risks ourselves, and he blames himself even more when you say this." ”

Ah Luo hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that. Erlang don't misunderstand. ”

Wang Yuan stomped his feet and sighed, grabbed the long sword placed on the ground and said to Gongsun Lan: "Cousin, do it." ”

Gongsun Lan looked at him with a smile and said, "It seems that you really blame yourself, tonight's raid was indeed not very successful, but it was not your fault." They're just hurt, so why bother. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand." Cousin, rush with me. ”

Wang Yuan picked up a piece of door panel and leaned out on top of his head, there was a burst of tuk tuk tuk, and more than a dozen feather arrows were nailed to the door panel in an instant, and the arrows were very strong, revealing arrows through the door panel. The door panel was already on the verge of bursting, and when these dozen arrows were shot, they suddenly cracked above Wang Yuan's head, and Wang Yuan was instantly exposed to the target of the arrow tower.

Gongsun Lanjiao snorted, reached out to hold Wang Yuan's hand, tapped his toes, and took Wang Yuan out of the promised place. Behind him, dozens of arrows shot at Wang Yuan's foothold, shooting out a pile of bursting sparks and white dust from the bluestone at the head of the city.

"Take the nearest one first." Wang Yuan pointed to the nearest arrow tower and shouted.

Gongsun Lan nodded in agreement, and took Wang Yuan to leap like flying, and the two of them seemed to be walking through the rain of bullets, but rushed to the bottom of the arrow tower unharmed.

"You stay here, I'll go up and kill. Watch out for the arrows on the other two towers and hide behind them. Gongsun Lan raised his feet and climbed up the vertical wooden ladder, and the arrows around him shot one after another, Gongsun Lan waved his sword and flirted, knocking these arrows away, and said hurriedly.

Wang Yuan suddenly realized how dangerous it must be to climb up like this. Although the arrow towers overhead cannot shoot arrows, the two arrow towers on the sides are capable of shooting. And on top of the wooden ladder, there is no room to move, which is a very dangerous section. In addition, if someone shoots an arrow from above the exit above the head, it is impossible to dodge.

"Cousin, wait." Wang Yuan shouted.

Gongsun Lan turned her head and frowned while dialing the arrows: "You don't have to rub in, you can't help me here." ”

Wang Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Gongsun Lan's waist, and the two of them suddenly hid under the rungs under the base of the tower. Tuk tuk! More than a dozen arrows were shot at the base of the tower, firmly nailed to the base of the tower.

"What do you do? It's still messing around at this time. Gongsun Lan said angrily.

Wang Yuan smiled: "Didn't my cousin see it?" Behold the arrow, nailed to the base of the tower. The base of this arrow tower was not made of stone, but of wood. ”

When Gongsun Lan heard this, he suddenly saw that the arrows and nails on the tower base and the surrounding towers were densely packed into it, and it turned out that the tower base was really wooden. For some reason, the base of the tower here is different from the base of the tower on the outer wall of the pass, and the outer ones are all real stone bases, but here is actually a wooden base of the tower. I don't know why, maybe it's just because the wooden arrow tower is easy to build. After being painted black, it looks like it is also a stone base.

"Hehe, don't bother to climb up, watch me give them a dig to the bottom, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and turn the world upside down." Wang Yuan was talking nonsense in his mouth, and at the same time, he waved the Broken Army Sword and began to slash at the base of the tower.

The Broken Army Sword was extremely sharp, and it was completely used as an axe by Wang Yuan at this moment. Sword after sword was slashed, and soon, a deep trench was cut out of one side of the tower. Wang Yuan changed directions, Gongsun Lan was busy blocking arrows for him, Wang Yuan slashed down sword after sword, and the slash was extremely powerful.

"Cousin, do I want to be Wu Gang who cut down the osmanthus tree on the moon?" Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"Why Wu Gang?" Gongsun Lan asked as she waved her long sword to block the arrows.

"Because there's a fairy Chang'e by my side. So I'm Wu Gang, and you're Chang'e. Accompanied by beautiful women, no wonder Wu Gang keeps chopping. My cousin is by my side, and I would like to be a woodcutter. ”

"What nonsense? When is it still nonsense. I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. Gongsun Lan said angrily, his heart was sweet, Lang Jun compared himself to Chang'e, which shows his position in his mind.

Under Wang Yuan's diligent felling, most of the base of the entire arrow tower was quickly cut off. The entire tower creaked and shook as it lost its balance below.

"Almost, cousin, let's take a push." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Gongsun Lan nodded in agreement, and the two reached out to support the tower and pushed it hard, the arrow tower began to shake violently, the thatched wooden sticks above fell down, and the archers who shot arrows down on the platform also shouted.

"One, two, three." Wang Yuan shouted, and with the password, the two of them pushed hard, and the entire arrow tower made a crackling sound of Titicaca, tilted to a certain angle, and suddenly froze like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. However, the moment of stalemate lasted only a few breaths, and then it collapsed from slow to fast. A dozen archers above could not stand on their feet, and fell out of it, screaming in the night sky with their teeth and claws, and then fell to the ground like toads. An archer fell impartially and with a thud on the hard bluestone ground in front of Wang Yuan. It burst open like a blood sac full of blood, splashing Wang Yuan's bloodstains all over his body.

"Bah, dog, I'm going to be unhappy when I'm dying." Wang Yuan snorted.

Gongsun Lan couldn't help laughing, and pointed to the other two arrow towers not far away and said, "Let's go, the one who cuts wood, there are two big trees in front, go and cut them together." ”

The husband and wife worked together, and under their indiscriminate felling, the other two arrow towers could not escape the fate of capsizing. The huge tower of arrows collapsed with a terrifying sound, even a group of defenders on the opposite wall. There were also defenders on the high wall opposite, but apparently they could not do anything. While arrows could be fired at the wall, there was a low stone hut on the high wall that served as cover for them to stare at.

After the three towers were cut down, the section of the wall above the gate hole fell into control. The fire in the cave of the city gate gradually decreased, and it was obvious that the wooden horses and obstacles inside had been almost burned. The hidden gate near the side of the tunnel also caught fire and soon collapsed, and the gate leading to the pass was opened.

Wang Yuan saw that the time was almost up, so he took matters into his own hands, bent his bow and arrows, and shot three arrows at the black sky. But I saw the three feathered arrows soaring into the air with long red fireworks, flying high and bursting into large red sparks, which were extremely gorgeous.

This is exactly the ancillary product of the military factory, the salt and nitrate containing impurities can burst out different sparks in the gunpowder, Wang Yuan asked Zhang Zhengyi to get some colored smoke rockets, which are used to transmit military orders and signals within the Shence Army.

The three red fireworks represent the order to launch an onslaught.

Outside the gate of Huguanxi, Zhao Qing and Tan Ping had already been waiting for this signal, and after seeing the signal, the two immediately issued an order to attack the pass gate in an all-round way.
