The tattoo army's ladders and carriages were no longer blocked by the long bronze poles, and began to advance slowly again, and soon they were set up on the city wall one after another.
As soon as the first chariot reached the city wall, the fire-lit door of the wooden house on the roof of the chariot opened, and the Qi army's sharp arrows immediately shot in.
The eight tattooed soldiers in the first row of the wooden house held up their shields and braved the rain of arrows to jump to the top of the city wall, which was more than a foot lower than themselves. More than half of them were killed as soon as they landed on the ground, even while they were still in mid-air. The Qi troops waiting below were stabbed through the chest and abdomen with spears, or their legs and feet were chopped off with broadswords!
The eight tattooed soldiers in the second row ignored the tragic situation of the first eight comrades and jumped down without hesitation, and then used their swords to kill those Qi soldiers who had not yet pulled out their weapons from the bodies of the first few tattooed soldiers.
A bearded Qijun named Cheng Dun was the tenth commander of the Xinyan Army. He was tall, good at wielding a machete, and had always been known for his bravery in combat. As soon as the door of the wooden house on top of the Qijun's carriage was opened, Cheng Dun Cheng Dun ran to the bottom, raised his sword and waited. As soon as the feet of the first tattooed soldier who jumped down came close to his head, Cheng Dun shouted loudly, slashed with his sword, and "clicked" the enemy's head. He chopped off his legs in the air, and then with a backhand slash, chopped off the head of the tattooed soldier who continued to fall!
Before Cheng Dun could wipe the blood that splashed into his eyes, a tattooed soldier who jumped from the second row had already landed in front of him. Cheng Dun shouted again and slashed at the waist of the tattooed soldier, but was struck by the opponent's The shield blocked it and failed to cause any damage, but at the same time, two sharp arrows from the Qi army shot into the chest of the tattooed soldier. Cheng Dun swung his sword again without stopping, and immediately cut off the neck of the second tattooed soldier, and his head flew away. Blood spurted out from his neck! But almost at the same time, Cheng Dun was stabbed through the shoulder with a sharp sword from top to bottom by a tattooed soldier who jumped from the third row. He could no longer lift the sword, and was deeply pierced by the opponent. Throat. The last thing Cheng Dun saw before he died was the cruel and murderous look on his face.
Both sides soon became red-eyed! Rows of tattooed soldiers jumped down continuously. Many black-armored soldiers jumped directly on the spear tips of the Qi army that stood up diagonally, and were immediately stabbed deeply through the body. , and then lie on the ground bleeding and waiting to die. Even if they can land smoothly, they will probably not survive in a few blinks before they are shot to death by sharp arrows or killed by swords by the surrounding Qi troops!
On the roof of the city tower below the door of the twenty-carriage wooden house, twenty bleeding corpses gradually piled up, nearly 70% of which were the corpses of the tattoo soldiers. Because these tattoo soldiers jumped down too fast, the Qi army There was no time to kill them in time, so more and more tattooed soldiers who could fight gathered on the tower, and the two sides began to fight fiercely face to face on the increasingly high pile of corpses!
At this time, the Tattoo Army showed a higher combat quality than the Qi Army: Although the Eleventh Army was only a second-class army, the martial arts of these Tattoo soldiers were on average three or four levels higher than the Qi Army. Without the Qi Army's archers, The attack can often be one against two and still gain the upper hand! The number of Qi troops killed by the tattoo soldiers increased rapidly. The tattoo soldiers had left the pile of corpses and stepped on the stone slabs on the top of the city wall. The black-armored warriors With fighting skills superior to those of his opponents, armed with shields and swords, he charged fearlessly towards the vastly superior Qi army!
.
More than a dozen ladders climbed up the city wall of Julangguan slightly later than the carriages. The Tatman soldiers immediately held bronze shields and swords and quickly climbed up the ladders. They were constantly hit by large rocks thrown by the Qi army.
The body was burned by the fire oil that was hit or dumped, and it screamed and fell down.
Although the casualties were very heavy, under the pressure of strict military discipline and out of fierce loyalty to the country and the emperor, the black-armored warriors still roared and climbed up as hard as they could, as if they had no idea of fear!
Beneath the four-foot-thick masonry on the top of the tower was the Qi army's bunker. A large number of Qi soldiers hid in the tower's bunker, watching through the half-foot-high and two-foot-wide shooting holes as the dozens of tattooed military ladders gradually approached.
When the distance was close, the Qi soldiers stabbed at the back of the ladder with sharp spears.
Because the ladder is very strong, the Qi army often has to stab it frantically nearly a hundred times and break two or three spears before the ladder can pierce a hole with a diameter of more than an inch. Through this hole, the Qi army can see the other side of the ladder.
The sky or the earth. Whenever this hole was blocked, the Qi army knew that this must be a Tattoo soldier climbing up the ladder, so he immediately pierced the hole with a spear and stabbed the body of the Tattoo soldier who was climbing rapidly.
wear.
The ladder is three feet wide and can barely accommodate two people climbing side by side. The Qi army in the city wall can basically block the ladder as long as they puncture two holes.
Among the tattoo troops who quickly climbed the ladder, some of them were lucky enough to block the rocks and sharp arrows, and were not burned by the kerosene. When they were about to climb the ladder to the top of the city wall, they were stabbed by sharp arrows from the back of the ladder.
The spear penetrated him.
A strong captain of the tattooed army heard a scream from the tattooed soldier above him and hurriedly raised his head to look up. He saw a bloody spear tip protruding from the back of the tattooed soldier above, and then the spear tip was very sharp.
He quickly shrank back. The tattooed soldier then fell straight down the ladder backwards, and his legs and feet even touched the head of the captain below.
Then the strong captain of ten saw a hole with a diameter of more than an inch above him, and there was some blood on the edge of the hole. Apparently, the spear used to assassinate his comrade was poked out of this hole.
The tattooed captain took two steps up, then grabbed the ladder with one hand, leaned out to the right, and looked behind the ladder. He saw a bloody spear protruding from the shooting hole in the city wall, hanging on the
Behind the small hole in the ladder is waiting for the next assassination opportunity.
The captain of the tattooed army swung the spear with the back of his sword to keep it away from the small hole. Then he exerted force on his feet, took a few steps forward, and left the dangerous position before the spear penetrated the small hole again.
The captain of the tattoo army held up his shield and deflected a 200-kilogram stone that fell down. His arm was numb from the impact. Then a bucket of kerosene was poured on the shield, causing many places on his body to catch fire.
He groaned in pain, gritted his teeth to resist the burning heat and pain, and still climbed hard, finally becoming the first tattoo soldier to climb to the top of Julangguan City through a ladder!
Three Qi soldiers held swords and spears and charged at the ladder-climbing champion. The ladder-climbing champion hurriedly took two steps to the right, avoiding two of them. He swung his knife to separate the Qi army's spears, and then
He quickly approached the spear-wielding Qi Jun and slashed at the opponent's neck with a knife. The spear-wielding Qi Jun hurriedly dodged back, but because the enemy moved too fast, he still suffered a large wound in his neck that spurted blood.
At this time, the ladder champion was hit in the lower back by a sharp arrow fired from the Qi army from the side, and his combat effectiveness suddenly dropped.
After the tenth captain of the tattoo army endured three or four moves, he was finally killed on the top of the city tower by the opponent's sword and a second sharp arrow.
.
The tattooed archers under the city wall kept firing arrows at the city. Their shooting accuracy was far inferior to that of the Qi army who shot from above, and they also had to face attacks from flying rocks and kerosene, so even though the shield soldiers were
They took cover, but still suffered heavy casualties!
