Chapter 158 – The Wind Passes Through Wolbow City
Outside of Crouching Bow City, there were no longer any beacon flints lit up with peaceful fires.
The Northern Mang vanguard army was at the city.
The gusty wind, the yellow sand, the barren land, and the gusty wind blew the dry yellow soil into the air, and pummeled those hunting flags. Outside the city, in front of the North Mang battle formation, there are constantly elite rangers galloping to deliver military orders. At the head of Crouching Bow City, a large bed crossbow was ready to be fired, and all the generals at the head of the city subconsciously gripped the hilt of their swords tightly.
A high-pitched and stern horn suddenly sounded!
If in the past, the North Mang southbound swept the city to attack the city, this time is mostly driven by the people of the Central Plains border and surrendered pawns to charge forward, not only to fill in the earth trench, but also able to consume a large number of arrows defending the side of the city, at most at the same time to supplement the auxiliary soldiers to push the tatting car forward, the foot and horsemen swarmed out of the city, the city of 10,000 arrows, you can achieve the effect of “the battlements of the arrowheads such as the rain injection, the suspension of cards like hedgehog”, as long as the defending side of the army heart. Effect, as long as the defending side of the military instability, with the North Mang soldiers of the bravery, after the city of one battle to defeat. But today this time the soldiers in the lying bow city, the North Mang east line of military affairs in the commander-in-chief Yang Yuanzan under the auspices of the show with the past more than two hundred years of the northern barbarians invasion of knocking on the city style is very different, the left and right flanks of the three thousand cavalry guarding the center of the army pawns began to charge at the same time, there is a very few years in the northwestern border fortress of the heavy weapon, in order to large-scale set of ways to the surface, the throwing car!
Yang Yuanzan set up no less than six hundred stone throwers almost overnight, the largest of which required two hundred tuggers with outstanding brawn, and a boulder weighing a hundred pounds! Six hundred stone-throwing cars, not only the car soldiers south with a considerable number of boulders, but also after entering the Hulukou along the road to scavenge all the boulders north of Wolu Bow City. At this moment, all the soldiers of the North Mang who are not moving can not help but look up, quietly waiting for the spectacular scene, countless boulders will be thrown together to the sky, and then heavily smashed on the head of the wall of Wolu Bow City, or fall on the ring of the city road and the city of Dengcheng.
Six hundred stone throwers, seemingly facing Wolong City in a flat formation, but if you look from the city’s side, you will know that they are set up in an arc. The strongest ones were set up in the center of the arc farthest from the city, the slightly weaker ones were set up on the left and right, and so on.
I don’t know who was the first one to shout out “The wind rises from the great north”, and the North Mang army near the stone thrower roared out these four words with all their might.
When the first hundred kilograms of flint, which was specially wrapped in oil cloth and ignited, flew up high and was thrown towards Wolu Bow City, the scene was as if a heavenly warrior was throwing the flint into the sky.
That scene was as if a heavenly fire spirit had landed on earth.
Hundreds of boulders followed this flint and smashed into the first city of Houkou in Youzhou, and all the Northern Mang generals were shocked by this unfamiliar means of attacking the city.
The boulders landed at the top of the city, crashed inside the city, or rolled down into the moat for the city wall to stop them.
Inside and outside the city, the sound of wind and thunder filled the ears.
Everyone seemed to feel the tremor of the earth, and the city was like a silent whimpering.
And that earlier than the stone first but slower than the boulder hit the city of six thousand mang cavalry, of course, is not a direct attack on the city to go, riding to attack the city, unless it is not a last resort, or even the big generals can not afford this kind of pain in the neck, these cavalry’s role is only to escort pawns to the city of the smooth advancement of 200 paces, to help their own infantry suppression of the city’s head of the crossbow sniping. The two flanks of the cavalry that had pulled out a distance from the pawns, after throwing a rain of arrows towards the city, no longer drove forward, but quickly sped diagonally outward to make room for the rear cavalry, so that the two cavalry forces were like a flood encountering a reef, but they did not collide with it to the death, and dispersed left and right on their own. A robust cavalry general in the lead of the army in the return, glanced back at the city, as Yang Yuanzan direct line of the army’s commander, he is aware of the existence of six hundred stone throwing car, and also know the power of the stone throwing car earlier than the ordinary commander, originally in his opinion do not need the two cavalry escort, lying bow city defenders in hundreds of boulders under the intensive bombardment of the army, will be so scared to lift their heads, let the foot soldiers outside the city all the way to the trench outside. Trench, but on the way to charge, in front of and behind him constantly appear casualties, the city head bed crossbow a burst of strong shooting, in which there are successively two riders were actually directly by a huge crossbow arrow through! The bodies of the two riders were hung on the crossbow arrow and nailed to the ground on the spot. If you say that the northern Liang crossbow sharp have heard, then in the boulder blast countless stomping wall of the moment, lying bow city shower of arrows is still methodical, this is very let the thousand captain of the mind complex, he had witnessed two Yuzhou soldiers were boulder head down, and the nearby city archers are still neatly shot above the level of the feather arrows, the thousand captain skimmed his mouth, this gang of Yuzhou people really not afraid of death? This group of Youzhou people are really not afraid of death?
After the boulders smashed the city and the two flanks of the North Mang cavalry took cover, the crossbow arrows of the Reclining Bow City focused more and more on the attacking infantry of the North Mang center army, and there were constantly foot soldiers along with the tatara carts being run through by the bed crossbow, and there were even some unlucky ones who were directly hit by the crossbow in the chest, and were slid backward by the huge inertial impulse for more than ten paces, which caused the tatara soldiers and the shield soldiers at the back to fall to the ground. More people were killed by the arrows from the city, especially when the battle line of the infantry became uneven, the most courageous soldiers and auxiliary soldiers who dared to rush to the front began to suffer from the deliberate targeting of the divine archers from the city.
The rain of arrows was not weak, but when it fell on the dense swarm of locusts, it was like a drop in the bucket, and still could not kill them all.
The dark locust-like slightly crowded foot soldiers simply ignored the corpses and injuries under their feet and continued to charge forward.
A burly armor-clad archer on the city drew his bow like a full moon, and was about to shoot a leader of the Northern Mang barbarians who was loudly ordering the filling of the trench, when he was shot through the throat by a feathered arrow.
His body was haphazardly pulled to a place, and soon there were archers behind him to quickly fill the position.
Continuously drawing a bow, especially a full bow to kill the enemy is the most damaging to the arm, in the Youzhou army, for the distance from the enemy a few paces to draw the bow amplitude are related to the strict military orders, when to use the bow when to use the crossbow is even more deeply rooted in the people’s hearts. First crossbow after the bow and then crossbow, is unchanging Northern Liang iron law, which “first crossbow” that is to bed crossbow, waist crossbow and foot crossbow is the main, lying bow city as the Youzhou gourd mouth one of the three cities, the number of bed crossbows, although the number of not as cool as the north of the tiger city so exaggerated, but this is not the great general yan wenluan not to come to bed crossbows, but the scale of the city of lying bows to limit the number of bed crossbows, can be In the previous mutual shooting, on the North Mangzhong army is still caused huge casualties, direct deaths and injuries in the hardwood for the pole iron for the plume of the bed crossbow under the enemy, under the eyes of the more than a hundred people, two of the pressure of the North Mangzhong army generals is an inadvertent was a big bed crossbow to the shot on the spot, think that this will certainly let the two have been far from the head of the city of thousands of chiefs of the death of the dead, because of their South Dynasty craftsmen officials always say that their own big crossbow Regardless of the range or tendon force, have not lost to the Northern Liang, but really to the battlefield, only to find that it is not so!
Before the two wings of the cavalry to cover the rain of arrows, and even earlier in the North Mang side of the various types of crossbows before shooting, lying bow city of bed crossbows and waist-led crossbows have already taken the lead from the head of the city shot.
If it wasn’t for the boulders from the catapults that suppressed the rain of crossbows from the top of the city to a certain extent, I’m afraid that the foot soldiers of the Chinese army would even have the luxury of dying in the vicinity of the moat. Dismounted siege combat, this is the Northern Mang Jianer least good at things, if you say on horseback with the Northern Liang cavalry fighting for their lives, even if they are in a disadvantageous position, also not afraid, but no horse riding, it is really a thing of fire and blocking the heart. The good thing is that this time is responsible for the attack on the city of the infantry are the southern dynasty of the various border towns of the force, has always been in the North Mang army in the inferior, their lives, such as the elite cavalry in the two flanks is not very concerned about.
A bearded general of the Northern Mang attacking the city waved his hand, 600 stone throwers began to advance, preparing for the second round of stone throwing, not to destroy the city, but to try to block the support of the living forces at the head of the city of Crouching Bow.
Commander Yang Yuanzan is determined to win this attack on Wolbow City, which has less than 6,000 troops, and the old general’s request is to capture the city in one day! For this move, there is no lack of dissent in the tent, some say that the terrain outside the city is not conducive to attacking the city, the infantry formation is too narrow, whether to send 10,000 or 8,000, in fact, the significance of the difference is not very big, not as good as the batch progression, to give the city a steady stream of continuous pressure, even if the day can not be attacked, at most, two days can be taken down the city of the lying bow, so that the casualties can be reduced sharply.
The son of the Seed family, Seed Tan, followed the stone thrower, and in front of them, there was a bed crossbow made by the South Dynasty, a ladder and a city log, and a towering building car that had not yet been entered by archers.
Seed Tan, who was sitting high on his horse, raised his hand and covered it in front of his forehead, Crouching Bow City finally had to start using light crossbows.
Seed Tan listened to the constant traveling riders sending messages, his ears were filled with cold numbers, how many were dead, how many were wounded.
Only half an hour, more than a hundred riders and a full thousand foot soldiers died, and this is still not climbing the city.
They are dead. They all died outside the moat, and the furthest they died was under the wall of Wolbow City.
However, in North Mang can be regarded as the top of the general species of children of the species of Tan, even his own surprise, he did not have too much mood ups and downs, but instead is a desertion to think of many interesting things, like before listening to his father, the great general of the species of the Shentong said about the early Spring and Autumn War, the war, it is said to be Liyang deployed 60,000 cavalry attack on the southern neighbor of the East Vietnamese a city, a sound battle for three days, but without success, and then the East Vietnamese celebrated the whole country, put the Afterwards, East Vietnam celebrated the country, the only more than 10,000 people to defend the country’s generals, the East Vietnamese emperor’s decree with 500 miles of expedited edicts for that person as a great master, many years later, the world only suddenly realized that the two sides totaled 70,000 soldiers a great defeat and victory, the war for three days, but in the end the two sides together less than six hundred people died.
Kind of Tan gently sighed, raised his eyes to look at that Youzhou city, can say, it is the old master of the lying bow city, step by step to the spring and autumn of the eight countries of the clothes and skin to peel clean, so that in the early years of the war is still a little warm and tender desire to talk about the war, into the beginning to the end of the blood drenched tragedy, the death of the battle killed in action is higher and higher in number, from the thousands of deaths in the battle, to casualties of more than 10,000, and then to tens of thousands of people until the battle of daily deaths daily The battle of the Western Basement Wall, where there was an influx of soldiers. If Xu Snap was alive and taught the eight Spring and Autumn countries what cavalry combat is, then is it fair to say that Xu Snap, after his death, will also have to teach Bei Mang what the Central Plains defense is?
Seed Tan narrowed his eyes as his side’s infantry finally began to climb the city.
The wall of Crouching Bow City is like a moth bound, like an ant attached.
At the top of the city, rolling stones, beating wood and scalding oil came down at the same time.
A ladder was pushed down by long hooks.
A North Mang foot soldier climbing the city was shot down by a rain of arrows close at hand, and after falling, the wounded soldiers who unfortunately had not yet died out were trampled to death by the subsequent attacking army.
The Yuzhou archers and light crossbowmen on the top of the city who prevented the North Mang soldiers from ascending the city were also shot by the archers of the building chariots that were almost as high as the city’s head, and they fell backwards one after another.
In this kind of intensive shooting, those who have strong martial arts and those who don’t, in fact, have to die. A few divine archers at the top of the city who still had strong arms were targeted by the archers inside the building car, and one by one, they were shot into hedgehogs full of feathers and arrows.
The North Mang’s siege method is all kinds of extreme, in the situation of the battle, can be said to be a needle in a hole, the bed crossbow will be aimed at the blank space of the city wall, shooting a large javelin and no difference between the peg arrows, rows and rows of pegs into the city wall, to help the North Mang foot soldiers to use this to climb up the city. The North Mang foot soldiers who climbed up like agile apes and monkeys are all the brave soldiers who were carefully selected by Seed Tan. Seed sandalwood listened to the frontline military situation from the letter rider, from his mouth is not in a hurry not slow to pass out an order to bring back to the front, although it is a huge cost of death attack, but the way of attacking the city is not rigid and rigid, as the defending side of the change of guard, seed sandalwood will also let that the loss of troops and horses “over the line” of the thousand captain withdrew, as for this line is exactly how much, in the As for how much this line is, in the heart of Tan temporarily set at the beginning of the siege of 100 dead or wounded, until 20 thousand soldiers led by 20 thousand captains have experienced a set of siege of the city, the second round will be incremented to one hundred and fifty people, not over the line, any of you is to lead the general’s surname is Yelu or Muyong, but also continue to be hard on the line, if it is over the line, any of you want to fight to the death, but also obediently withdrawn.
Seed sandalwood regardless of how those thousand long centurions do not understand, but also the fact that they do not need to understand, he has anyway with the commander-in-chief Yang Yuanzan to come to the front of the decapitation of the power, who do not serve, have the ability to take the head to disobey the military order. Seed Tan subconsciously reached out and stroked the smooth mane on the back of his horse, this kind of “every cent counts in order to be like an arm” method of commanding the troops, is that the white-clothed generals taught the world, but a lot of the generals who follow the example of the vast majority of the only get the fur but not the essence of the first can’t be as familiar with the man as that under the command of the troops of each lieutenant captain’s strength and toughness, and secondly, the majority of the generals who follow the example only get the fur but not the essence of the first can not like that man as familiar with the command of the troops of every lieutenant captain’s strength and toughness. The battlefield is ever-changing, if you deliberately pursue this kind of perfection in details, it is easy to pick up the sesame and lose the watermelon, in addition, not waiting for the army to distinguish the victory and defeat, the main general is already tired like a dog, not to mention the main general himself, the flag soldiers and messenger riders will also have to wave their hands and run off their legs.
Kind of sandalwood self-confessed learned more than fur, but the essence has not yet grasped, but kind of sandalwood is not in a hurry, just yuzhou hulukou there are still luanhe xiaguang two cities to fight, and the city is bigger, more guards.
Kind of Tan’s sitting posture is always stable as a rock, only occasionally with the side of the armor of the maid Liu Daoxiang to ask for a pot of water, moisturize the throat, otherwise the throat has long been smoke.
Twenty of the Chinese army captains have seen the scenery of the city wall from close range, two of them almost succeeded in standing firm on the city, one was stabbed down by seven or eight iron spears, smashed on the pile of corpses, fell a seven and a half, after getting up and seeing the feet not far away from seven or eight arrows straight inserted in the corpses, if it is smashed on this side, even if it is not poked out of the heart, but also certainly don’t want to go to fight Luanhe City.
There is also a person is just stood to the city, and even has used the sword to cut off a number of spearheads, to step into, the results were a branch of the angle of the tricky vectors shot in the ribs, staggered down when also known as a kind of iron owls son of the flying hooks to the hooks, in the Youzhou soldiers will be ruthless to pull upward, the back of the city wall on the thousand captain hurriedly raised his arm to chop indiscriminately, which cut off the iron chain, he fell to the ground in distress and then rolled over! He landed in a mess and then rolled over, and five or six arrows swished down behind him, apparently his bright armor “provoked the wrath of the people”. This makes him lead the troops back to the rear of the army to reorganize, still have palpitations in his heart, but he almost became the first battle death of Youzhou’s thousand commanders ah. No wonder that before the battle, that bunch of obtrusive military machine lang reminded them that they can add layers of armor and can wear heavy armor, but don’t wear armor that is too fancy and eye-catching.
Crouching bow city on the kind of winches can be used to retrieve the foot logs have been broken to seven or eight, those powerful kill huge wolf teeth beat even more have been destroyed, died in this thing when the head shot of the North Mang soldiers is the most miserable, not a piece of flesh, like a pork to the planer to scrape through, the body miserable.
Around noon, a particularly majestic horn sounded across the battlefield.
The attack on the battlefield, which had not been stagnant, rose.
Commander-in-chief Yang Yuanzan rode his horse to the vicinity of the vanguard general Seed Tan, accompanied by a group of cavalry generals and five or six brocade-clad military engineers. They found many young civil officials sitting in front of a few cases around Seed Tan, writing like flying, constantly recording various details of attack and defense. Yang Yuanzan did not bother to exchange pleasantries with Seed Tan, but walked to the side of a young official who was named by the Order of the Peace as “Dishu Lang”, bent down and picked up a piece of paper with undried ink, the handwriting was slightly scribbling, “The wooden logs of Crouching Bow Castle were followed by mud logs and brick logs, which were a bit weaker”, “The hardwood and iron logs were followed by brick logs, which were slightly weaker”, and “The hardwood and iron logs were followed by brick logs, which were weaker”. The hardwood and iron head of the city’s three battering rams, the head of the blade is more than a foot, like a wolf’s tooth, hidden behind the high walls of the city gates, falling like thunder”, “It is reported that the age of the arrows out of the Wolbow City has its own length, the longest one has been forged for seven or eight years, made in the 14th year of the Yong Hui, the arrowheads are as new as new, far better than Our army.”
Yang Yuanzan laughed coldly: “Good one arrow always sharp! This sentence, I will have the opportunity to personally bring to the Ministry of War in Xijing those officials! Let them take a good look with wide eyes!”
The Successful Scribe, who had been affected by the incident, hurriedly stopped his movements, his face full of fear and trepidation, fearing that this meritorious old man, one of the thirteen great generals of North Mang, would take it out on him, a small person who did not even have an official rank for the time being.
The great general gently put back the piece of paper and laughed, “It’s none of your business, you guys did a great job, after taking down Crouching Bow City, this general will personally help you Blasted Shulang to mark a merit.”
Even the great general who could be among the top forty people in power in Northern Mang dismounted, and Seedan didn’t have that thick skin to continue to sit on the back of the horse. As a general of the Southern Dynasty, although Yang Yuanzan is not as highly respected by the Empress as Liu Gui, compared to Seed Tan’s old man Seed Shentong, regardless of the ability to deploy troops, just in terms of the level of trust, Yang Yuanzan exceeds Seed Shentong by a large margin. Besides, kind of sandalwood in the old man’s eyes to mix food, hurriedly walked to the commander-in-chief side, Yang Yuanzan and kind of sandalwood two people intentionally or unintentionally side by side walked to a place, kind of sandalwood softly said: “Earlier in the western capital court hall to listen to a certain hold section order adults said a sentence, at that time is also quite passionate, this day think of a little uncertainty.”
Yang Yuanzan, who had just arrived from the wounded soldiers’ camp, was somewhat displeased and asked with a frown, “Which sentence?”
Seed Tan laughed, “Northern Liang claims to have the strongest guts in Liyang, so let’s smash their guts and beat them dry.”
Yang Yuanzan asked, “What’s wrong with that?”
Seed Tan used his horsewhip to point remotely at the Reclining Bow City, “Of course this city can’t become the Xiangfan City that sat steadily on the fishing platform in the Central Plains for more than a decade, but even if Luanhe and Xiaguang can’t become it afterwards, but what about the next territory of Youzhou? We are really not going to surrender a single soldier in North Mang? Even if there is no Xiangfan City in Youzhou, what about Liangzhou, which has the most solid defense line? Do we really want to wipe out the two million households in Northern Liang before we give up?”
Yang Yuanzan laughed coldly, “Have you not realized who the first and second in command of the fortresses north of Wolbow City are? What are the ages of the main generals and vice generals of Wolbow City?”
Seed Tan pondered a little, somewhat enlightened, smiled and said, “They are all old soldiers who have traveled to the North Mang’s hinterland of Heshi Prefecture in their early years, and Wolu Gongcheng’s Zhu Mu and Gao Shiqing are even approaching the age of old age. It seems that although the number of soldiers from Hulukou to Wolbow City is small, the men and horses placed here are those who really dare to die. It is no wonder that the more than one thousand primitive and brave stragglers that Wolbow City migrated from Liuzhou to the outside of the city at the end of last year, even if they were not bad in battle, were all brought back to the area south of Luanhe City.”
Yang Yuanzan sighed: “Yan Wenluan’s move, is to retreat for progress, the flow state those flow people at first are skeptical and wait-and-see attitude, once the Youzhou Hulukou defense line let them as the first to die of people, do not need to us North Mang beckon surrender, they themselves have to blow up the camp mutiny, pull one hair and affect the whole body, and even to even involve all of the flow of the flow of the flow state left the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the flow of the whole situation. But first dead lying bow luanhe two cities, and even then let the people retreat again and again, directly back to Xiaguang City, put yourself in the shoes of the people, if you are the people, how will think? If you are a displaced person, how would you think? The answer is obvious, died so many Youzhou army, it is their turn to go on the battlefield, since they have come a long way to Youzhou, and why hesitate to die? Seed Tan, this is exactly where Yan Wenluan’s old-fashioned way of using soldiers comes in.”
Seed Tan gave a hmmm.
Seed Tan suddenly laughed, “The Qiang Rong and Qiang Rong tribes are especially brave in attacking the city, surprisingly.”
Yang Yuanzan calmly said, “The Taiping Order threatened that after the pacification of Northern Liang, the people of Northern Mang, who were originally divided into four classes, would have the fifth class of Liang people, so the Qiang Rong ministries, which are the fourth class of the bottom of the list, will finally be ‘superior’.”
Although Seed Tan knew about this, he still had a puzzled look on his face and asked, “Does this really work? This will make people feel at home with death?”
Yang Yuanzan softly said, “The Central Plains is full of schemers with amazing talents, and not going up against the scheming masters that they are devoted to assisting has an elegance that we can’t imagine. Not to say that the Liyang capital surnamed Yuan’s emperor, not to say far away in the southern border of Nalan right Ci, only to say has died to listen to the tide Pavilion Li Yishan, more than 100,000 stragglers is the emergence of the, and how is the heart of the submissive submissive to Northern Liang? How did the Hulukou Fortress get up? And how did they defend themselves against our army? How did Beiliang’s pastureland, grain and grass, and soldiers’ pay roll over and move, and how did they help Beiliang support a country with one land?”
Seed Tan nodded and said in a deep voice, “Good thing we have the Order of Peace all the same!”
Yang Yuanzan suddenly lowered his voice and said, “When you feel when you can break the city, you bring enough elites and personally go into battle to board the city.”
Seed Tan, who had never had this thought, was about to refuse, when Yang Yuanzan said in a tone that could not be refused, “Northern Mang needs heroes!”
Since that clarion call was blown at noon, the city wall of Wolbow City had become a ghost gate.
People were dying anytime, anywhere, and the rate of death was getting faster and faster.
North Mang’s attacking soldiers, which had already been replenished to maintain 20,000 soldiers again, were replaced by 1,000 to 1,000 soldiers at a faster and faster rate, and even though General Seedan had already raised the line to 200, he was unable to stop this amazing speed. The only good news is that after two or even three previous sieges, the attacking soldiers are more and more aware of how to avoid the mud brick logs, more and more aware of how to keep an eye out for the arrows shooting from the corner tower, and many of the Northern Mang soldiers who inevitably felt weak when they first attacked the city were oblivious to carry their shields and climbed up the wall, and could not look at the corpses under the city wall, and did not pay attention to the wailing of those who were going to die. The most important thing is that in their own side, the soldiers are not able to see the
The most important thing is, under the continuous onslaught of their own side, they can clearly feel the decline of the attack on the city.
Continuously rushed to the front of the battlefield of Crouching Bow City, from the earliest five hundred people to change the defense additions, to the armor is still bright three hundred, to less than a hundred people with wounds, and finally to the point that at the command of thirty-four people have to run up the stairs.
In the tall city building in the center of the main general Zhu Mu Wolbow City rushed to the head of the city, vice general Gao Shiqing has led two hundred soldiers in the head of the first line of killing for more than an hour, if it is not the gray hair but old and strong old general that iron gun is really strong, if it is not the jianghu hero origin of the vice general of the soldiers, there are a lot of outstanding masters, the head of the city at this time should be full of northern manganese barbarians. Under the inner city wall, there are all the bodies of the robes that were too late to make good, piled up haphazardly, and later on, the guards of Wolu Gongcheng could only throw their bodies down with tears in their eyes.
They were piled up into a mountain.
Zhu Mu personally led 300 elite troops who had been storing up momentum to support Gao Shiqing, and killed more than a hundred barbarians who had jumped into the city wall to fight in close combat, Zhu Mu’s two-handed cool knife, rolling knife with the momentum of a rainbow, and the northern barbarians who were cut off by his knife were as many as seven or eight, but even if the reinforcements of the soldiers pushed most of the ladders that were attached to more than a dozen enemy troops back to the ground, they still couldn’t stop the Northern Mang barbarians who were killing the red-eyes from climbing up the city one after another. Zhu Mu watched Gao Shiqing, who was known as the Bearded Lord, whose beard was drenched in blood and knotted like a stick of ice, slash a centurion-like North Mang barbarian’s head off, kick the headless corpse, and then knock a barbarian who had only just climbed up to the city and raised his sword into the city, and then he laughed loudly and mocked, “Gao Laoer, how come he is so useless, don’t you want me to help you retrieve your gun when it gets dark? I’m going to come back to help you retrieve that gun. It’s still more than an hour before nightfall!”
The blood-soaked Gao Shiqing remained silent, stabbing a barbarian to death with his spear, and with a sweeping blow of his iron spear, he swept out another barbarian who had leapt down from the top of the city.
Half an hour later, the only cavalry in the city was that everyone double-riding Yuzhou first class cavalry. These four hundred people who had no chance at all to charge out of the city also began to ascend the city.
Before boarding the city, the war horses that had been attached to each other for many years were all killed by them.
Unwilling to kill their own mounts with their own hands, they had to change horses and silently draw their swords and guns.
In the dusk, the remaining sun was like blood.
The main general Zhu Mu and vice general Gao Shiqing back to back, the body armor is broken Zhu Mu gasped sharply, chest was a knife hit, vision blurred up, shook his head fiercely, hard to ask: “Gao old man, I Zhu Mu is the family group of losers who do not contend with all fled out of the Youzhou, went to the south of the Yangtze River, the past few months by a large group of old people white eyes so much, look at me almost as look at the North Mang barbarian Almost, this is why I am willing to die in the lying bow city, sort of to the great general and Yan Wenluan have an account. Then what do you want? You didn’t scold me at that time? Why did you even take the initiative to switch places with that Li Qianfu’s nephew, are you really tired of living?”
Gao Shiqing reached out and pulled out a feathered arrow from his waist that had broken his armor but hadn’t gone into his bones, and spat out a mouthful of blood, “My family stayed in Youzhou, and I’m not as greedy for money as your son’s grandson is, so I live with peace of mind, and even if I die in the future, I’ll die with a clean slate. Gao Shiqing does not owe anyone anything in his life. In the second year of the Yonghui era, in the Orange State of North Mang, you saved my Gao Shiqing’s life, and this time I’ve come to stay with you, so let’s say it’s all settled! When we get to the ground, don’t call me your brother, I can’t afford to lose face when I see the Great General!”
The city of Crouching Bow City was filled with shouts of killing all the Northern Liang bastards.
When a team of men and horses with far more valor than the North Mang foot soldiers that attacked the city earlier ascended the city, Zhu Mu had his hands chopped off first and then his head.
Gao Shiqing, with his back against the city wall, was stabbed in front of him by five or six iron spears, and the veteran general died with his spear in his hand.
In the middle of the night.
One of the vanguard general’s own soldiers stood on the high city head and blew the last horn on the battlefield.
Regardless of the enemy, inside and outside of Crouching Bow City, nearly 20,000 dead people were destined not to hear this sound.
Seed Tan, who had made a great achievement for the North Mang Yuzhou front, slowly closed his eyes.
Seems to hear, the wind passes through the Crouching Bow City.
Like a sob.
