Chapter 437: Attack and Defense of the Great Beam (8)
"Whoa!"
The crash weighing nearly 1,000 catties stabbed out with the rotation of the halberd, and it was suddenly shattered, the pieces fell apart, and the broken wood chips were scattered and splashed in all directions.
The power of this halberd also shocked the soldiers in the city, and everyone looked at this military general with a double halberd with fearful eyes. In fact, just before he wrecked and crashed, more than a dozen soldiers had already died under this terrible double halberd. Moreover, the powerful whirlwind brought out by the double halberd wielded by the military general just now, the spears, shields, and swords in the hands of the soldiers were all not broken and twisted without exception, and even the soldiers' bodies were torn apart, and none of them were finished, leaving a piece of stump arm and broken limbs on the city wall, and blood flowed all over the ground.
After losing the blockade of the crash, the tower cart of the Qin army immediately moved forward, approached the city wall, and the flap was erected on the battlement, and the Qin soldiers immediately rushed down from the tower cart and climbed the city wall. A fierce battle ensued with the defenders guarding the vicinity.
Moreover, the Qin soldiers who climbed the city wall were all extremely brave, and the defenders were not opponents at all, and they were killed by the Qin soldiers and fell to the ground one after another, and their bodies were on the spot. Then the Qin army immediately dispersed to the left and right, expanding the area of control, and firmly guarding this breakthrough, and the Qin soldiers one after another, along the wooden ladder of the tower cart, stepped up to the city tower and joined the battle group.
The military general who took the lead in killing the city wall was naturally Huo Lieyang, one of the five god generals under Han Teng, who was ordered by Han Teng to personally lead a team of Nanyang Army soldiers to take the lead from the tower car to the city, and personally led the charge, opening a gap for the Qin army. The Nanyang Army's combat effectiveness was strong, and the defenders were not opponents at all, so the Nanyang Army quickly gained a firm foothold on the city wall and evaded a position.
Seeing that the Nanyang army had initially gained a firm foothold on the city wall, Huo Lieyang immediately led a group of Qin troops to expand along the city wall, and every time his double-bladed halberd stabbed out, it would bring out a strong whirlwind, and the weapons, shields, and armor of the defenders were all twisted to pieces. What's more, the soldiers around Huo Blazing Sun were also extremely brave one by one, the defenders were not defeated at all, they were killed and fell to the ground one after another, the weapons defending the city were destroyed, the car crashed and was pushed down, and the cauldron on the fire was overturned, and the defenders were completely unable to resist, so they could only be killed by the Qin army step by step and retreated, giving up the position on the city wall.
After a while, Huo Blazing Yang led the Qin army and helped two nearby tower carts to approach the city wall in a row, opening a gap for the Qin army and killing the city wall, and there were more and more of them, and many Qin troops climbed the city wall along the siege ladder.
Soon, the Qin soldiers who killed the city wall had more than 100 people, and quickly formed a formation, and there were more Qin troops who climbed the city wall, basically controlling the position of the city wall of more than ten zhang, and the three main gaps, just because the Qin army had not yet opened a staircase gap leading to the city, so it could not expand to the city.
The breakthrough of the Qin army at the head of the city also surprised Wang Jian, who was watching the battle under the city, but he didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang army to be so strong. Therefore, Wang Jian immediately ordered that the twelve tower carts in the phalanx on the right should be ready to attack and join the battle at any time to reinforce the army in the city.
But at this moment, the battle on the city wall changed, I saw a person holding a short knife, killing the Qin army, everywhere the knife light went, there was blood splashing, human voices screaming, almost in the blink of an eye, there were more than ten Qin soldiers killed under the knife. And this also made the rest of the Qin soldiers all frightened, and they all subconsciously took a few steps back. And then there was a group of soldiers, lined up in an array of five, each holding shields, guns, axes, arrows and other different weapons, which stopped the expansion of the Qin army. Even with the strong combat effectiveness of the Nanyang Army, it is difficult to take advantage of it at this time.
It turned out that Gao Yuan personally led the Beiwei army to battle and blocked the Qin army. Originally, the plateau watched the battle from the castle tower, and when the battle was carried out so far, it basically did not exceed the expectations of the plateau. But from the moment the Qin army ascended to the top of the city, the situation changed.
Although Gao Yuan has never met Huo Lieyang, he is very familiar with his Lei Zhen and Double Halberd, because he has heard Zhao Xuan say it many times, and this Gao Yuan is also very unexpected, Qin Jun Jingran will send the Nanyang Army to fight the first battle to attack the city, so is this still a feint? Therefore, Gao Yuan also regretted it very much, and he was still careless. What will not happen on the battlefield, he believes that the Qin army is using the strategy of attacking the Great Liang by water, and firmly believes that they will not officially attack the Great Liang, so they instinctively relax, and if the Qin army really launches a strong attack, maybe they will be able to take advantage of their laxity to attack the Great Liang. After all, there are powerful troops like the Nanyang Army in the Qin army, and there are top masters like Huo Liyang, and they are completely equipped with the strength to storm the Great Liang, and now the Qin army has already attacked the city wall?
So Gao Yuan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately personally led the thirty-six cavalry guards and five hundred Beiwei troops to meet the Qin army, and at the same time ordered to immediately transfer another 1,000 Beiwei troops to the city to participate in the battle, and specially called Jiang Huanwu and Ling Feng. Because the plateau is very clear, the combat effectiveness of the Nanyang army is very strong, and only the Beiwei army can avoid being strong to confront it.
And the flaming sun has the same strength as Zhao Xuan, in this kind of battlefield environment, having a fierce general to support in the formation can improve the combat effectiveness of the entire army to a higher level. And now only on the city wall can block the flaming sun, if Jiang Huanwu rushes to the city wall, I'm afraid it will be too late. Therefore, Takahara can only go into battle in person. And the Thirty-six Cavalry Guards of the Rapid Wind are the personal guards of the plateau, and naturally they also fight with the plateau. These 36 people are carefully selected, dialed one for thousands of miles, and have undergone strict training, and immediately step down, long and short weapons, throwing guns and arrows, it can be said that they are proficient in everything, and they are also suitable for this kind of battlefield.
It's just that the place where the Qin army broke through was still a certain distance from the city tower, and the plateau still had to make some arrangements for the overall command, plus the Qin army's combat effectiveness was really strong, so it was still slowed down, allowing the Qin army to gain a firm foothold in the city wall. It can be said that when Gao Yuan was very extreme, if it was a little later, I am afraid that the Qin army would have begun to develop towards the city.
The narrow range of the city wall, of course, the Beiwei army could not be lined up into a complete mandarin duck formation, so it was changed to a three-force formation to meet the battle, but although each group was reduced to five people, it was still a group battle, although the Nanyang army had strong individual combat effectiveness, but it was also caught off guard by the Beiwei army, plus there was a plateau array, and it was suddenly killed and killed twenty or thirty people in a row, and it was no longer able to break through.
Gao Yuan slashed more than ten Qin soldiers in a row, taking advantage of the gap between the other Qin soldiers retreating, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked over a cauldron set up at the mouth of the battlement, at this time there was still half a pot of boiling water in the pot, Gao Yuan kicked out, and the boiling water immediately turned into a water curtain and sprinkled it on the Qin soldiers.
At this moment, twenty or thirty Qin soldiers were suddenly drenched with boiling water, but some people were a little more, some people were a little less, although the soldiers of the Nanyang Army were extremely strong, but they were all flesh and blood, some people were drenched with boiling water, and they let out a heart-rending scream, rolling all over the ground, and the image was unbearable; Although some people were not drenched, they were not lightly burned, and they also screamed miserably. When the other Qin soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but be frightened, and their fighting spirit dropped greatly.
Subsequently, the Beiwei Army and the Thirty-six Cavalry Guards of the Rapid Wind also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly follow, and slashed fiercely, only killing the Qin soldiers all over the city, retreating three or four zhang in a row, and at the same time giving up a breakthrough.
At this moment, I saw that Huo Blazing Yang led several Qin soldiers to arrive, and was blocked by a Wu Ren Formation, which was first blocked by a large square shield, blocking the Qin army and covering the companions behind.
And Huo Blazing Sun screamed violently, and the double halberd in his hand spun and stabbed out, just stabbing on the big shield, the big shield and the soldiers holding the shield were immediately crushed by this whirlwind, and the double halberd of Huo Blazing Sun stabbed continuously, and none of the four substitute soldiers behind were spared, all of them died.
The flaming sun was about to attack the next Wu Ren Formation, when he saw a sword light curtain flash in front of him, like a lightning speed, and he quickly attacked him. Flaming Sun hurriedly swung his halberd across the frame, blocking the knife with the halberd rod of the double halberd.
But before Huo Blaze could see who it was, he saw that the other party's wrist flipped over, and the blade turned into a flirtation, turned to the bottom of the halberd, and from the bottom to the top, stabbed at the lower abdomen of the flaming sun.
Flaming Sun couldn't help but be shocked, this person's change of tricks was so fast that he didn't even have time to blink. However, he is also experienced in battle, and his reaction is also first-class and fast, so he hurriedly held the halberd pole with both hands, pressed it down, and blocked the knife again.
But the other party immediately drew his knife and turned around, and it was another flat cut, cutting horizontally at the front chest of Huo Blazing Sun, and Huo Blaze Sun retreated three or four steps in a row before he could be regarded as exempt from being strong and dodging this knife again, but the four or five pieces of armor on his chest were cut into two pieces by this knife.
Huo Lieyang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, among the masters he had ever been able to fight, it was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation, even when he fought with Zhao Xuan, he had never been forced to be so wolf-like.
At this time, Huo Lieyang saw his opponent clearly, and saw that the opponent was only a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a set of leather armor, without a helmet, and holding a short knife more than two feet long in his right hand. At this time, the soldiers on both sides also temporarily stopped, separated by a distance of about a zhang, holding each other.
Flaming Sun said in a deep voice: "Plateau? ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "You are the Flaming Sun?"
Huo Lieyang let out a long laugh, holding the double-edged halberd with both hands, and said: "It is worthy of being a person who has defeated the lord, and it is indeed an extraordinary sword technique, so let me see how strong your Chiyou power is, look at my thunder shock." As he spoke, the halberd suddenly swirled rapidly, bringing out a strong whirlwind force, and stabbed towards the plateau in the chest.
And the soldiers of the Nanyang Army also followed his stabbing attack and swarmed up and launched an attack on the Dai Army.
