As militiamen were being assigned to guard the city, they heard the rumble of drums coming from outside the city.
Qin Xiao looked grim and had already seen the rebels advancing towards the city in formation.
In the rebel formation, dozens of cavalrymen shuttled back and forth, waving sabers in their hands. Qin Xiao knew that those cavalrymen were not only directing the rebels to advance, but were also monitoring the cowardly retreat of some in the formation.
Although this rebel army is large in number, it is a ragtag group. If someone flees, it will soon cause the entire team to collapse.
The Right Divine General naturally has a good understanding of the troops under his command, and will certainly avoid such a thing from happening.
The rebels advanced slowly at first, but soon the speed gradually increased.
Qin Xiao looked at the rebels rushing in front, almost all of them were wearing black belts. He knew that these rebel soldiers were ordinary people who were forcibly dragged into the team, but at this moment, he could no longer show the kindness of a woman. If
If you show mercy to these rebels, once the city is breached by them, the people who have been forcibly brought here will have no restraints and will definitely become extremely ferocious, and the entire Shuning City will usher in a catastrophe.
"Bang the drum!"
Qin Xiao gave an order, and the drums on the top of the city rumbled.
Neither the rebels below the city nor the defenders on top of the city had ever participated in a real war. At this moment, both sides were facing each other, and both the enemy and our soldiers were extremely nervous.
The rebels below the city shouted, not only to intimidate the other party, but also to embolden themselves.
Amidst the shouts, the ant-like rebel soldiers rushed towards the city quickly, like wild beasts.
The archers had already bent their bows and set up arrows. After the rebels entered the shooting range, Qin Xiao gave an order, and the arrows from the top of the city shot like raindrops at the rebels who were rushing at the front.
In just the blink of an eye, more than a dozen rebel soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The cavalrymen were still running through the ranks, shouting loudly. Some of the soldiers were frightened when they saw the soldiers in front of them falling, and wanted to turn around and escape. When the cavalrymen found out, without saying a word, they urged their horses forward, swung their sabers, and ruthlessly
Kill the soldiers who are about to flee.
"After the city is broken, everything will be available." The cavalry shouted: "Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy."
Thousands of rebels, under the command of rebel generals, spread out across the fields and approached the city.
Although the arrows on the top of the city were sharp, the number of archers was too small. Although many rebels were killed by sharp arrows, more people still rushed to the base of the city wall.
Before long, the rebels were densely packed under the wall.
Without Qin Xiao's command, when the defenders saw the rebels gathered under the wall, they had already picked up the huge rocks prepared in advance and smashed them down from the battlements. For a while, the falling rocks on the top of the city were like rain, and there were screams everywhere under the wall.
The sound of wailing.
Dong Guangxiao had long been wary of the rebels attacking Shuning City, so he was fully prepared. Not only did the city have sufficient food and grass, but it also had a large number of weapons to defend the city.
On the city wall, a large number of huge stones and heavy wood had been prepared in advance.
The rebels rushed to the bottom of the city, but the red belt carrying the ladder behind them did not catch up in time. The rebels could not fly to the city wall and crowded under the wall to wait for the ladder.
The rebels were all ordinary people. They had no experience in battle, let alone siege. A group of people crowded under the wall and shouted. Huge rocks and heavy wood were suddenly thrown down from the top of the city. Many people were smashed to pieces before they had time to react.
Meat paste.
Amid the wails, the rebels retreated one after another.
The red belts were wailing and quickly caught up and set up the ladder. Someone was already shouting: "Come into the city and seize the treasured woman...!"
Rocks were falling like rain on the top of the city, but amidst the screams, ladders were put up one after another on the top of the city.
Compared to the black-sash soldiers, the red-sash soldiers were much braver. They climbed up the ladder first and quickly climbed towards the city.
The sound of drums at the top of the city is endless.
Suddenly, I saw the soldiers at the top of the city lifting wooden barrels one after another and splashing them onto the ladder from the top of the city. Many rebel soldiers who were climbing up were showered. To their surprise, the soldiers at the top of the city were surprised.
Torches were already lit, and one torch after another was dropped from the top of the city. In just an instant, the ladder that was doused with fuel immediately caught fire, and the soldiers who were stained with fuel also instantly caught fire all over their bodies, and for a while they were so burned that they screamed in agony.
Barrels after barrels of fuel poured down from the top of the city.
The city was already a sea of fire in a moment. Countless rebel soldiers screamed shrilly in the flames. Many soldiers whose bodies were on fire were running around like men on fire. The other rebels saw this in shock and were horrified.
The flames were scorching, and black smoke was steaming up into the sky.
The rebels in the sea of fire were covered in smoke and screamed with all their strength. After taking a few steps, they slumped to the ground and were gradually burned to charcoal by the fire.
She Yue stood at the top of the city and could not get close. When she heard the heart-rending howls coming from below, her beauty turned pale and her pretty face turned pale.
Most of the dozens of ladders were on fire, but some rebels still climbed up the ladder to the top of the city. Before they could jump into the battlements, several defenders had already swarmed up, slashing them with swords and thrusting out spears.
, fell from the ladder and howled in mid-air.
Both sides of the confrontation could hear the screams from hell all the time, and there was no mercy in anyone's eyes.
Because they all know that the next one to cry is probably them. The two armies are fighting, and there is no mercy at all.
The rebel soldier Ding Jia heard the shouts of killing and screams from all sides. He looked around and saw that the arrows on the top of the city were incessant. The falling rocks and heavy trees took away one life after another. In front of him, there was only a miserable red color, even for himself.
I couldn't tell whether it was fire or blood.
He felt like he was really in hell.
When he charged, Uncle Cai was still beside him, but now he was nowhere to be seen.
There were dense crowds of people around. Like him, many people were at a loss under the city and did not dare to retreat for their lives. However, the thick city wall in front blocked the progress, and the blazing fire under the wall was like a man-eating devil. No matter how brave he was, he could not
Rush into the fire.
"Uncle Cai...!" Ding Jia held the hoe in his hand and searched around. The clothes on his body were in tatters and even stained with blood.
This was not his own blood. Just as he rushed to the city with the team, a huge boulder fell from the top of the city and hit him just a few steps away. Two rebel soldiers were stoned to death, and blood splashed all over him. Oil torches fell from the sky.
At that time, fortunately he ran a step faster, otherwise he would have been burned alive by the fire like everyone else around him.
The leader who led his charge had been burned to ashes, and the team of more than a hundred people was already in disarray.
"Climb the ladder, climb the ladder, fight to the top of the city." Ding Jia was at a loss when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw a strong man with a red belt around his waist holding a big sword.
Pointing the blade at himself: "Climb up the ladder and attack the city!"
At this moment, he heard a wailing sound in the air. Ding Jia looked up and saw a soldier falling from the ladder. With a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground and was shattered into pieces.
Ding Jia showed fear, but the red belt had already stepped forward, kicked Ding Jia, and cursed: "The Divine Army is protected by the Queen Mother of Nine Heavens. Even if you die, you can go to heaven and become a god. Climb the ladder. You
If you try to escape from the battlefield, I will chop you with a knife."
The man pointed his sword at Ding Jia. Ding Jia knew that he was no match for the red belt. If he didn't climb up the ladder, he might be killed by this man immediately.
He had no choice but to walk towards the ladder in fear under the pressure of the red belt.
There were many red belts in the city who forced the black belts to climb the ladder to the city.
The rebel cavalry who shuttled back and forth among the crowd had long been the focus of the city's archers. Qin Xiao fired arrows continuously, and three cavalrymen had already died under Qin Xiao's arrows.
The soldiers on both sides were no longer nervous at this moment. Although the shrill screams and brutal war scenes made many people fearful, the blood also made many people excited.
Half of the ladders were burned, and the rebels who climbed up the ladders to the top of the city were stabbed down one by one. However, more rebels continued to climb up the ladders, and many of them had even climbed over.
Cross the battlements and fight hand-to-hand with the defenders at the top of the city.
In the rebel formation, a group of soldiers holding shields was slowly approaching the city gate.
A simple city ramming vehicle, escorted by these shield bearers, gradually approached the city gate.
Qin Xiao naturally saw this and waved his hand, and immediately someone came over carrying fuel barrels. When the group of shield soldiers arrived at the city gate, Qin Xiao waved his hand, and the defenders were about to pour the fuel barrels down.
However, this group of rebels seemed to have expected that fuel would be poured down on the city. The shield hand held his shield high, and from the gap in the shield, crossbow arrows shot out violently, and the dense crossbow arrows shot towards the city like locusts.
Come, two defenders near the top of the city were shot in the neck immediately, and they fell from the top of the city with their buckets.
"boom!"
The soldiers and oil barrels smashed on the shield, causing fuel to splash everywhere. However, Qin Xiao had already picked up the oil barrels himself and knocked them down from the top of the city. Other soldiers also smashed the oil barrels down from the top of the city. In just a moment, the city rushing vehicles were surrounded by soldiers.
All the soldiers were drenched in fuel, and the city assault vehicles were also covered in fuel.
Seemingly knowing that something bad was going on, the soldiers who were originally protecting the city ramming vehicle turned around and ran away. Almost at the same time, torches were dropped from the top of the city. With a "boom", the city ramming vehicle was instantly set on fire. The slower running soldiers
He was also instantly devoured by fire.
The sun shines on the earth, but Shuning City under the sun is a hell on earth.
The city rush vehicle was abandoned in a matter of seconds amid the blazing fire.
"Master Qin, I'll go over there." Chen Xi threw away the bow and arrow and drew his sword, "There are rebels over there attacking the city, I'll go over there to support them."
"Be careful." Qin Xiao nodded, and suddenly heard someone beside him say in shock: "Sir, you...look over there...it seems...it seems like reinforcements from the rebels are coming.
Got it!"
Qin Xiao looked in the direction of the man's finger and saw only the northwest, yellow dust rolling, the sound of hoofbeats, the yellow dust turned into a yellow dragon, under the sun, like flying in the clouds, a large cavalry team was like
