Chapter 78 The Battle of Jinyang (14)

Jiexiu's four gates were sealed with earth and stone, and it was difficult to open for a while. Therefore, Lu Chang urgently ordered a long rope to hang down the city wall, allowing Ding Miao and others to climb up to the city.
The enemy besieged the city with tens of thousands of people, thinking that it was weaving a net of heaven and earth, and it was difficult to cross it. Unexpectedly, Ding Miao was brave enough to pretend to be a high-ranking official of the Huns, and rushed to Jiexiu City with a swagger. At this time, the military and civilians were all excited. When Ding Miao announced loudly that reinforcements were coming soon, the cheers could be heard for several miles outside the city.
The defenders were cheering, and they heard the thunder of war outside the city, and another wave of siege troops rushed from all directions. This time, there were far more troops used than before, and several new forces that had been raising their strength, surrounded by tall ladders as high as mountains and flew into the tower.
The flying building was several meters high, with the top of it flush with Jiexiu's city wall. It was paved with wooden boards more than two meters wide. Once it approached the city wall, the army could directly attack the city head along the flying bridge. The flying building was covered with cowhide, and there was no way to do anything. There were ten wooden wheels under the flying building, and more than a hundred large men hid themselves in the building, pushing like giant beasts running, and everyone was shocked.
It was extremely time-consuming to build the flying building. The Huns used all the military craftsmen to work day and night. At this time, only one was built, and two more were under construction. After the original preparation was completed, they all used their best to break the city. But at this moment, perhaps because they were angry by Ding Miao's actions, the Huns directly threw a completed cloud ladder flying building into the battlefield.
For such huge siege equipment, neither the crossbow nor the rolling wood stone could cause substantial damage. The defenders urgently mobilized dozens of crossbowmen to shoot them with rockets, while the Hu people covered the flames with sand and soil. Although several fireheads were ignited, the flying tower was too large and they wanted to burn it. I don’t know how long it would take.
In a blink of an eye, the flying tower was approaching the city. With the loud bang, the city walls were shaking. The Hu people outside the city roared wildly and cheered, as if crazy. Hundreds of particularly fierce Hu soldiers followed the flying bridge toward the city.
Although the flybridge has been made as wide as possible, the specifications are limited after all, and the soldiers have to arrange in a dense manner, and even the wielding weapons on both sides is restricted. The group that rushed to the front was immediately shot by the Jin army's bows and arrows.
Although these Hu people were all wearing heavy armor, no matter how well-established the armor, they could not protect their whole body. The faces, hands and feet exposed outside the armor were inevitably caught. The sound of arrows puffing into the flesh seemed to be a sudden sound. In an instant, more than ten Hu people fell seriously injured and fell to the ground. Several Hu people swayed and fell down from the flying bridge, and immediately fell into mud under the city.
But the Hu soldiers behind did not hesitate at all. They followed one after another, stepped on the fallen bodies in the front row and continued to rush, even holding the dead body as a shield to rush onto the city wall.
The Jin army immediately asked the archers to retreat, and replaced them with infantry holding spears that were overwhelming the front line. They relied on the city walls and stabbed them with spears that were particularly long to about three meters. Dozens of spears were poking back and forth, just like a rolling hedgehog blocking the flying bridge. Although the Hu soldiers were willing to sacrifice their lives, they had no choice but to imagine.
At this moment, I could hear a thunderbolt on the flying bridge like a roar. A member jumped up from the bush, flew over the city wall, and fell straight into the Jin army formation.
This man has a leopard head and a round eyes, a strong body, wearing double heavy armor, and holding a strange-shaped machete. The machete has a thick back and a narrow blade weighing at least twenty or thirty kilograms. It has a thick iron chain about till half a meter long on the handle, which can not only fight in close combat, but also reach far. When it is used, a strong wind blows within a few feet of radius. He waves the sword and fights hard, and every time he shoots, he will shout at the same time. Wherever he goes, the head of the Jin army is separated, and flesh and blood fly, and no one is his enemy.
The Jin army could not expect the enemy generals to be so fierce, and their positions were in chaos. In addition, the soldiers near the squadron faced the enemy generals, but they were inconvenient to turn with long spears in hand, and were killed and defeated. The enemy generals rushed back and forth, and suddenly howled to the sky. The Hu soldiers on the flying tower responded, and they all rushed and attacked fiercely. The Hun army under the city shouted wildly. For a moment, there was only a tsunami-like cry in his ears, and even the voices of the people around him were drowned!
In a very short time, more than 30 Jin soldiers fell down in this narrow city. The other brothers in the robes were red and they were entangled with the Hu people for no reason. However, the Hu people gathered this time with elite soldiers mobilized among tens of thousands of people, each of them was a warrior who was strong against a hundred people. Under the leadership of the fierce enemy general, the number of casualties in the Jin army rose sharply, and the defense line was shaking.
However, for the general Lu Chang who defended the city, he had already become numb, and such a situation was not enough to shake his calm attitude.
Lu Chang was not far away with more than a hundred elite subordinates, but he never issued a reinforcement order.
He observed the changes in the battle situation indifferently and constantly assessed the limits of the two sides. Compared with the almost endless army of the Huns under the city, the power of the Jiexiu defenders was too weak. He had to ensure that every time he used troops, he blocked the enemy's offensive and that every Jin army soldier who died in battle was sacrificed valuable.
His method of defending the city was not simply to accumulate troops at the enemy's attack, but to master a powerful reserve team and choose the right time to launch a tough counterattack.
Although the losses in various places of the enemy were reported like snowflakes, his face remained unchanged. He just fiddled with some small wooden pieces scattered in front of him, and occasionally took down one... This means that another complete fifty-man team has lost its combat effectiveness. There were twenty-eight such small wooden pieces four days ago, but now there are only a dozen left.
Ding Miao stood beside Lu Chang, not paying attention to Lu Chang's movements at all. He held a strange short halberd with silver light flashing in each hand, and danced from time to time, showing a look of eagerness to try.
"The Huns Wuya General Liu Qin personally went on the battle! Brothers can't stand it anymore, let me go!" Ding Miao shouted at Lu Chang in the deafening sound of killing.
The extremely fierce and fierce Hun warrior was Liu Qin, the general of the Huns Wuya. This king was a famous general of the Huns, and was not comparable to ordinary generals. He was the noble descendant of the Huns, and the Han king Liu Yuan, the same clan. He was extremely brave and often had a strong army. When he fought with the Bingzhou Army of the Japanese company Ma Teng last year, he led a single army to attack the Jin army. Within ten days, he broke into four camps in a row, won ten battles, and beheaded more than 10,000 people, killing the Jin people trembled. With this great martial arts, he was awarded the title of "General Wuya". It can be said that his reputation was entirely based on the corpse and blood of the Jin army soldiers.
"Such a person is worthy of being my opponent of Ding Wenhao!" Ding Miao shouted: "Brother Shize, your soldiers are dead when they go up; let them retreat, don't rob me of me!"
This was undoubtedly kind, but it was not the same when Ding Miao said it. As one of the best generals under the command of Yue Shigong, Ding Miao relied on his bravery and spoke very aggressively, which often made his colleagues unable to get out of the stage. However, this personality is very popular with the soldiers, which is really strange.
Fortunately, Lu Chang had known Ding Miao's habits for a long time, so he didn't care. He was far older than Ding Miao and had a good personal relationship with the two, so he started to curse: "Stop talking nonsense for children! Wait for a moment!"
Ding Miao glared at Lu Chang fiercely, barely suppressed his fighting spirit that was almost about to break through Tianling, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! OK! Wait for a moment!"
On this battle field, half a moment passed in a flash. Liu Qin was still roaring back and forth, and with the death fight between him and his subordinates, the space they occupied on the city was slowly expanding, slowly but unstoppable. At the same time, the pressure they were under was getting stronger and greater.
The Jin army was desperate to attack them from three sides, while the archers on both sides of the city wall almost scattered arrows to the flying building, and some even extended their bodies beyond the squadron to shoot, making every effort to prevent the Xiongnu reinforcements from entering the city.
After all, the Hu people only had this flying building. Under the dense shooting, the top of the flying building had a floor of corpses of Hu soldiers. At a certain point in time, the number of soldiers who could go up to the city to support suddenly decreased sharply.
Lu Chang shouted: "Ding Wenhao, it's up to you!"
Before he finished speaking, Ding Miao had already pounced out. The two halberds cut the air and made a sharp roar; the castration was so fierce that it was like a stone bomb thrown by a stone generator.
