Chapter 1130: Rushing to the Car
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of book friend Tu Chengwei, China Black Dragon, and Prancing Horse.
However, most of the strong men of Xiaoguo are infinitely powerful, although they cannot directly cover the double layer of Liangdang armor like Shen Guang, and the middle is also filled with silk and cork, but most of them still wear a layer of chain mail inside the outer Liangdang armor to protect their torsos from being directly shot through.
Those Goguryeo archers at the head of the city, the bow is strong and the arrow is fast, the big bow used is full of strength, and the sharp arrow tip is extremely penetrating, if it is changed in normal times, this kind of condescending distance of dozens of steps, it is not a problem for an arrow to shoot through the double layer of iron armor, but after a long period of shooting, even the archers with amazing arm strength have long lost the strength at the beginning, and the bow and arrow can barely penetrate the outer layer of iron armor, but it is difficult to cause fatal puncture damage to the internal body.
The first wave of more than 2,000 Xiaoguo sergeants, more than half of them, on the sprint distance of these dozens of steps, were full of arrow shafts, looking like a porcupine, but they could still move, and there were only about a hundred or so unlucky ghosts who were killed by a single arrow by shooting directly through helmets or faces, and the vast majority of them finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall and began to desperately climb the wall.
The Goguryeo archers at the head of the city threw their big bows directly to the back of the city wall, and easily handled the weapons that had been placed around them, most of which were steel forks or spears, of which two and three steel forks accounted for the vast majority, which was the best weapon to deal with the ladder in the defense of the city.
One by one, the ladders were raised, and the sergeants below were in groups of three or five, desperately trying to erect the bottom of the ladders, which were full of corpses and stones, and the uneven bottom of the city wall made it difficult for people to stand on, let alone fix these bamboo or wooden ladders. You must know that there are at least six or seven heavily armed sergeants climbing on each ladder, and if they are not stable at all, they will fall directly from a height of two feet, and their lives will be lost.
But perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that a large number of corpses and stones raised the height of the foundation by three or four feet. The ladders that were originally tailored to the height of the city wall of Liaodong City were obviously three or four feet higher than the battlements when they were erected, and more than two hundred ladders, one of which was more than a dozen steps apart, were densely erected on the city wall, and the tide of the Sui army Xiaoguo warriors were attached to the ants, with the back of the big knife in their mouths, and holding a shield with one hand. Desperately climb up.
Almost all the Goguryeo archers at the head of the city copied their melee weapons, and from the passage to the upper city under the city, the Goguryeo army, which was constantly wearing chain mail and holding melee combat weapons such as broadswords and hammers, poured upwards like a tide, and at this time it was no longer possible to take into account the damage caused by the Sui army's bow and arrow, and only by beating these Sui troops who climbed the city could there be hope for victory.
The shield array of the Sui army also began to move forward slowly. Dozens of large shields set up a small miniature phalanx, slowly moving in the direction of the city gate. Several sharp-eyed captains of Goguryeo Seongtou noticed this change and shouted hoarsely: "Rush the car!" The rush is coming! ”
Hundreds of Goguryeo archers who had not yet thrown away their bows and arrows turned their attacks to the small square that rushed towards the city gate, and the raindrops of arrows kept shooting the shields on both sides of the block, and from time to time Sui soldiers fell down screaming, and soon new people came out. Holding a shield to cover the flanks, in the short distance of sixty or seventy steps leading to the direction of the city gate, more than fifty soldiers of the Sui army fell, but this small square still rushed firmly and forcefully in the direction of the city gate.
In the opening on the inside of the Goguryeo gate, the bolt on the gate has been reinforced by two layers. The city gate of Liaodong City, is a special big iron gate, extremely thick, extremely strong, the defense is far from the ordinary wooden gate is comparable, in the past two months, near this city gate to destroy no less than 20 rushing cars, both sides of the city gate are all smashed or burned the remains of the rushing car, and even three or four rushing cars and dozens of corpses, just right to block the passage of this rushing car to attack the city gate.
In the small square of the Sui army, dozens of sergeants suddenly ran out, in groups of two or three, one or two people raised their shields, and the remaining well-dressed strong men ran towards the wreckage of several rushing cars that were blocking the city gate.
There are constantly bows and arrows shooting at these strong men who pull carts, and there are constantly people screaming and falling, and there are also new wrestlers rushing out to pull carts, arrows are pouring in the direction of the city gate like raindrops, and the bodies of the wrestlers and the shields of the shield bearers have been densely filled with arrows, and blood is sprinkled all over the ground, and the wreckage of the rushing car that is blocked near the door opening, blocking the small square shield array to impact in the direction of the city gate, was finally moved by the pull and moved a distance of more than a dozen steps, before the small square, the passage facing the big iron gate was finally opened!
There was a burst of cheers in the array of the Sui army, and Shen Guang, who was still staying in the shield wall and observing the battle situation through the gap, also breathed a long sigh of relief, originally according to his temperament, he was going to take the lead in climbing the wall and charging, but Mai Mengcai and Qian Jie took out the theory that the main general should not take risks lightly and that if there was an accident, it would hit the morale of the whole army, and forcibly left him here, so Shen Guang could only reluctantly command the teams and attack the city according to the routine of countless rehearsals.
The ladder on the city wall was knocked down again and again, and the two or three strands of steel forks made by the Goguryeo people were just enough to hold the distance of the ladder extending out of the city, and it was easy to push it down, and the Goguryeo soldiers at the head of the city picked up the stones that were everywhere around them and smashed them downward.
The ladders were knocked down one by one, and the Sui soldiers above fell or jumped down one by one, and then the people below re-erected the ladders, and the soldiers who jumped down continued to climb the next time, which seemed to be a cycle that was difficult to end, so Shen Guang's attitude today was very clear, that is, to use climbing the wall as a bait to attract the attention of the Goguryeo people, and the real killing move lies in this specially made, specially used to smash the door!
As the passage in front of the rushing car was opened, the shield array quickly dispersed, and a huge, one zhang high, with a huge piece of towering tree trunks embraced by five or six people, appeared, the head of the Chongcheng wood was wrapped in a thick iron sheet, made into a round head of a large wood six feet wide, pushed by a total of fifty big men on the left and right, and rushed to the gate of Liaodong City twenty steps away!
