The crisp sound of steel knocking together caused both parties to the conflict to pause for a moment.
The spearhead raised by the Beifu soldiers finally caught the long sword of the Di Qin soldiers.
Because the tip of the spear collided with the blade of the knife, the Di Qin soldier was restricted to about one foot away. The Beifu soldier picked up the tip of the spear and stabbed it repeatedly. He walked steadily and pressed forward step by step.
steel!
Dang Dang!
This Di Qin soldier's martial arts skills were pretty good. After several attempts, the Beifu soldiers failed to hit his vital parts.
The tip of the spear was all blocked by him.
Although the long knives in the hands of the Di Qin soldiers have been disadvantageous weapons so far, they actually prevent the Beifu soldiers holding spears from getting close.
no!
The most important thing in the battle to climb the city is the speed of attack. The Di Qin defenders must be eliminated in a short period of time before other plans can be made.
You absolutely can't waste so much time just here with a Qin soldier.
During the repeated fights, the Beifu soldiers realized that they must fight quickly and not be held back by the Qin army.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu accelerated his thrusts, aimed at the vital parts of the Qin soldiers, and stabbed them hard.
The Qin army has been entrenched in Xiangyang City for three years and is quite well prepared for war. Although the current defenders here are considered incompetent, this does not mean that their weapons are not sharp and their food and grass are not sufficient.
The simplest point is that from the cavalry and archers to the ordinary infantry, if you look around, you can see the Qin soldiers on the towers, all of them are wearing armor and well protected.
Although the spears of the Jin army were extremely sharp, the tips were modified by Wang Mi, making them more conducive to thrusting.
However, without being able to break through the Qin army's long sword defense, it would be very difficult to penetrate the well-made iron armor in one fell swoop.
The Beifu soldiers continued to attack, but soon there was a sharp sound in Liu Yu's ears and a light movement in his hand.
The spear, which was about one foot long and a light and flexible wooden pole, actually broke in the middle.
The Beifu soldier was suddenly startled, and subconsciously retracted his spearhead and stepped back. However, what shocked him even more was that the wooden pole did not break by himself, but was chopped off by the Qin army with a long knife!
The Qin army was fighting single-handedly, but they got another sword from nowhere and started playing with two swords, one on the left and one on the right.
Soon, he caught the loophole in the Beifu soldier's spear and slashed through it with his broadsword, causing the wooden pole to break.
The Beifu soldiers realized that the situation was not good and quickly dodged. However, the Qin army was forced too fiercely and was not given any time to breathe.
The Qin soldiers fought with their swords, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards the Beifu soldiers.
His indomitable momentum seemed to stir up the air around him. He aimed at the shoulder of the Beifu soldier, and without thinking, he struck out with a knife!
puff!
With a deep cut, blood immediately gushed out. The soft popping sound was caused by cutting into soft flesh or the sound of blood spurting out.
The blade sank into the flesh and blood of the Beifu soldiers. The Qin soldiers laughed wildly and without any hesitation, they drew their swords and swiped horizontally.
The sound of tearing clothes was heard, and when he looked down, the Beifu soldier realized that his belly had been opened with a long knife and a large bloody gash had been opened.
In comparison, although the armors equipped by the Jin army were all made of iron, they were generally lightweight.
The thickness was far inferior to that of the Qin soldiers' armor, so it was very difficult for the Jin army to use weapons to directly break through the Qin soldiers' armor and attack key parts.
However, the Qin soldiers' hard weapons could easily cut through the Jin army's thin armor. Although they were protected by armor, the Beifu soldiers were unfortunately seriously injured and fell to the ground.
As long as you have a firm belief, there is no strong person who cannot break through!
The blood of Di Qin soldiers was ignited once again!
Looking around, the situation on the city tower was almost the same. Although overall, the Beifu soldiers had the advantage and killed more people.
However, the Di Qin soldiers were not cowards, and their individual strength was not weak either. Gradually, they made some gains, and the bodies of Beifu soldiers gradually increased on and below the city tower.
Groans were everywhere, mixed with the sounds of various weapons clashing with each other, which was particularly harsh and chilling.
However, why is there no one directing the crowd on the tower?
Why do the brave Di Qin soldiers seem to be doing their own thing?
Of course we have to find the answer below the tower and inside the city.
"Slip away!"
"Run!"
Just now, when Liu Yucai had just rushed up the tower, General Fu Rui, who was commanding the battle in the middle of the tower, ran straight down the tower without looking back!
The speed was so fast that even his personal general Zhao Xiu didn't have time to notify him and ran away alone!
Fu Rui not only ran away, but he ran with confidence and as a matter of course.
As he ran towards the bottom of the tower, he was still fooling around, and asked the followers behind him to follow him.
As a result, on the city tower where the fierce battle was going on, the only ones left to guard were the lower-level soldiers, and those who rushed too far forward and didn't notice Fu Rui's actions at all.
Fu Rui left alone and took away a group of people. When Fu Rui returned to the room and panted, he realized that there were more than a dozen people following him.
They are all relatively capable warriors in the Di Qin army.
"Where is General Zhao?"
Liang Cheng, who was responsible for commanding the battle in the city, saw Fu Rui running down the tower from a distance, so he had to hand over the battlefield to his subordinates and ran over to ask about the situation.
As soon as he entered the door, he found that Zhao Xiu, the young general who stayed with Fu Rui every day, was not there, which made him very surprised.
You must know that this first wave of soldiers who climbed up the tower to defend themselves were originally under Zhao Xiu's command. Now, the war is not over yet, but the general is nowhere to be seen.
How can it not make people suspicious?
Fu Rui took a few sips of hot tea to calm down. Liang Cheng asked. He looked around and realized that Zhao Xiu had not followed.
"Where is Zhao Xiu?"
Fu Rui looked at the soldiers, who all looked at him with doubtful eyes.
"have no idea!"
"Isn't he always with the general?"
All the soldiers looked at Fu Rui, he is your old man's follower, you don't even know, why are you asking us?
Fu Rui was stunned.
Damn it!
He really didn't notice where Zhao Xiu was. He must have stayed on the tower.
Then...
"Probably hosting the challenge on the tower."
"It's time to come down later."
Fu Rui smiled perfunctorily, and Liang Cheng's face suddenly fell.
Isn't it a joke that he, the general, is not around, but he expects Zhao Xiu, who has little experience in leading troops, to fight the Beifu soldiers?
"General, most of the Jin troops attacking the city came from Beifu. The Beifu soldiers are much more powerful than the Jingzhou soldiers. My subordinates are worried that General Zhao cannot handle it alone."
Liang Cheng looked at Fu Rui sincerely, and Fu Rui stroked his beard and looked at him friendly.
This must be his inner meaning!
Turning around and looking at the expressions of the soldiers, they all looked like they were speechless. This was not a connotation, it was simply a clear meaning!
