Chapter 789: The City is Full of Soldiers
***
Under the city of Di Dao, the enemy was like a dark cloud, quickly pressed towards the city wall, and the shouts were like waves crashing on the shore, rushing to the face, the Qin army at the head of the city saw this shape, and immediately felt different, this time the enemy's nearly 20,000 troops were all dispatched.
On the fort of the city tower, the two cannons of the Qin army also began to roar, and the thin tongues of fire brought out a barrage in the sky and sprayed away outside the city.
The rushing Mongols were shouting like thunder, holding shields in front, carrying ladders, stepping on blood stains all over the ground, surging with rolling yellow dust, and where the barrage of barrages sprayed by the artillery at the head of the city swept the place, the enemy fell in pieces, the heads exploded by marbles, the broken hands and feet, and a puff of blood formed a thrilling picture.
At this moment, the sound of the horns outside the city changed, and the tide of enemies stopped charging, and the dozens of bed crossbows were fired again, throwing one after another firetles into the city.
Rumble! Boom!
The huge explosion enveloped the city again, the female wall was blown down, the battlements were blown away, and the masonry and shrapnel were enough to knock the iron shield in the hands of the Qin army away, and some were actually smashed into the blood spraying like rain, and fell down the city together with the shield.
The fires in the city were everywhere, and the sound of explosions shook the city one after another, making people almost unstable on their feet.
Wu Changting wiped the blood on his forehead and shouted amid the rumbling explosion: "General! Checkmate! Why don't you get out of the city first?"
"No! The enemy has not yet retreated, and cannot be withdrawn! Everyone lies down under the arrow stack, use the shield to protect the upper body, quickly protect! ”
Wu Qingfeng roared like thunder, his voice torn apart by the rumbling explosion.
Fortunately, after a long and bitter battle, the soldiers of the Qin army had already learned how to protect themselves.
After a round of fire-thistle bombardment, the enemy swarmed again, and countless footsteps converged into a heart-wrenching sound, as if the earth was about to collapse.
Outside the city, the horn whimpered, the wild erected flags, and the sound of the rivers. Billowing yellow dust followed the footsteps of the enemy, covering the city, and the sun in the sky was also eclipsed.
Suddenly, in front of the enemy army that was rushing straight forward, nearly 100 horsemen rushed along the base of the wall, and one by one the iron hooves hit the ground, like thunder and thunder, and the galloping war horses leaned on the horse's head, and their hooves were flying.
The enemy on the horse had braided hair and a hideous face. He took the earth-shattering thunderbolts from the saddle and set them on fire and threw them at the top of the city as he ran wildly, and in an instant, where the enemy's iron cavalry passed, the sound of explosions at the head of the city came and went.
Song Baitao, the deputy general of the Qin army, was almost killed, knocked down by the shock wave, and he got up again with his ears buzzing, and shouted wildly: "Blow them up!" Use earth-shattering thunder to blow up the fuck! ”
Actually, he doesn't need to shout. The Qin army at the head of the city had also lit the earth-shattering thunder and threw it down in a string, but the enemy was in groups of three or five, running wildly at intervals. After the earth-shattering thunder is thrown, the enemy cavalry often rushes past before it can explode.
Both sides used earth-shaking thunder to bomb each other, and Wu Qingfeng saw that his own bombing effect was not as good as the enemy under the city, and couldn't help but be furious: "Take the earth-shaking thunder!" Bring! ”
Wu Changting hurriedly handed over his only three thunder thunders. Wu Qingfeng slashed with a swing of his knife, almost cutting off the fuses of the three earth-shattering thunders.
"General! Dangerous! ”
Seeing that Wu Qingfeng picked up the short sky-shattering thunder and lit it, Wu Changting couldn't help but shout. If Wu Qingfeng didn't hear it, he lit the fuse and immediately threw it on the heads of the enemy horsemen who were rushing under the city.
Rumble! Boom!
The earth-shattering thunder exploded above the head of the enemy horse before it hit the ground, for a time the war horse neighed, the human voice howled, five or six war horses all fell to the ground, the huge inertia of the wild gallop made the fallen war horse roll out nearly ten zhang, the enemy on the horse was either blown up to the flesh and blood, or was knocked to the hands and feet broken, and the white bones of the forest were pierced out of the clothes, which was shocking.
Seeing this effect, the other soldiers did the same, blowing up the enemy cavalry running wildly along the city wall to the brink of misery, pieces of minced flesh flying in the rain of blood, and some even blasted their arms directly to the head of the city.
The enemy's army rushed in at this time, and the Qin army's earth-shattering thunder was not much left, and more could only be smashed under the city with arrows and rocks and rolling wood.
Countless enemies, like waves of floods that have spilled under the city, have set up ladders on the city walls, and the fierce enemies have suddenly struggled to climb the city;
And there are also large groups of men and horses under the city who use earth-shaking thunder to suppress the Qin army at the head of the city with bows and arrows, and a canopy of arrows covers the city head like a dark cloud, and one by one the earth-shaking thunder is thrown to the city and explodes fiercely.
The soldiers of the Qin army defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and they were still desperately fighting back, and the stones fell down one by one, smashing the enemies under the city into meat cakes, blood and flesh were splashed everywhere, and the rolling logs were smashed down one by one, and the enemies on the ladder were smashed down in strings, and the sound of popping was endless.
"Kill!" Song Baitao, who came back to his soul, slashed out horizontally with the ghost head knife in his hand, cutting off the head of an enemy who had just emerged and flying into the air, blood spurting like a spring, "Push!" ”
In his roar, two Qin soldiers holding long wooden forks pushed the enemy's ladder away from the city wall and tumbled down, and the enemy on the ladder fell down with the ladder, screaming miserably.
Here, Wu Qingfeng shouted: "Splash! "A pot of boiling oil was poured under the city, and the skin and flesh of the enemies under the city were burned, and the faces were full of blisters, and even a large piece of skin and flesh could be grabbed with both hands. It's horrific.
The sky was filled with gunsmoke, the sun was dim, and the sound of the tide was shouted and killed up to the sky, so that the beasts ran away, the birds did not cross, and the trickle of blood and water merged into a trickle, flowing into the Tao River outside the city, and dyeing the whole river red.
The ownerless war horse looked up and neighed, and the heavens and the earth were sad. And the killing is long, endless.
The war drums were like thunder, the horns sounded, many enemies successfully climbed to the top of the city, the two sides cut each other and slaughtered, the white blades clashed, the sword was broken, the arrows in the sky pierced through the bones, and the blade of Sen Sen was pulled out with flesh and blood
The bloody battle at the head of the city entered a white heat, and the Qin army, which had a sparse army, could be lost at any time, and the people in the city were panicked and terrified.
The prefect Sheng Huaide and the same governor Li Bocun acted separately, and Sheng Huaide was responsible for leading people to transport arrows and stones to the city and transfer the injured.
Li Bocun was responsible for organizing the young and strong, cheering them up, and then personally carrying a knife and bringing 3,000 young men to support the city head and join the bloody battle of life and death
Na Risong, the commander of the Mongolian army outside the city, saw that the city of Didao was clearly crumbling, but in the end his men and horses were forced to leave the city again and again, which made him angry, and beheaded the two centurions who retreated from the city without permission in public, and then issued a death order, so that the deputy general Su He personally led the army to attack the city.
Suhe means axe in Mongolian, and Suhe, as his name suggests, is like a heavy and sharp axe, domineering. Narisong hoped to use his giant axe to split the city of Didao in one fell swoop.
The pressure on Risong itself was also very great, before he only had 7,000 men and horses, and he could also use a small number of troops to push back, but now Gushi Khan made a bloody investment, and sent 10,000 troops to support, ordering him to quickly capture Lintao, Gongchang, Taozhou and other places, and sweep the periphery of Lanzhou.
If it can't be delayed in Didao City for a long time, it will not only be difficult to complete the order of Gushi Khan, but it will definitely cause a great loss of morale, and the veteran soldiers of the division will be tired.
The whining horn sounded again, the fishy wind by the Tao River was long, and the murderous atmosphere was awesome, and the Mongolian army that had just retreated was surging again, like the waves of a hurricane, and it seemed that it would not give up until the city of Didao was destroyed.
Looking down from the city, I saw that the sun was covering the enemy like clouds, and the black clouds were overwhelming the city and wanted to destroy it.
Wu Qingfeng and the other two or three thousand soldiers and civilians were covered in blood and scarred, and after fighting for so long, whether it was artillery shells, explosives, earth-shattering thunder, or bullets, they were all running out, but the enemy's attack was becoming more and more fierce.
Seeing this situation, Wu Qingfeng said to Tongzhi Li Bocun: "Li Tongzhi, the time has come for the life and death of Lintao Mansion, you immediately go back to the city, organize all the strong men over the age of fourteen in the city, and tell them that there are eggs under the nest, and the enemy has suffered heavy losses under the city, and if the city is broken, the enemy can slaughter the city to vent his anger." Let all those who can hold weapons be ready to support wherever there is danger. ”
Li Bocun also knew that he could not tolerate the slightest hesitation now, so he responded and hurried back to the city.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Lintao Mansion is located on the border, and the people are fierce. Ordinary people usually practiced martial arts, mounted their horses and opened bows, and could kill enemies in close quarters. As long as it is properly organized, even ordinary people are quite combative.
It's just that this is not always the way, when will this reinforcement arrive!
