At this time, the border town had less than 2,000 soldiers defending the city. It would be extremely difficult to defend the border town under the enemy's offensive.
Cheng Yaojin was ready to live and die with the border city.
The enemy will definitely not retreat so easily today. Cheng Yaojin has sent Hong Ling to convey the general's information back to Chang'an urgently, so that Li Shimin can prepare.
As the enemy launched a charge without fear of death, the defensive equipment was also rapidly consumed.
Enemies had climbed over the west wall and were killed by the soldiers guarding it.
But as time went by, more and more enemies found opportunities to scale the city wall, and the soldiers guarding the city had to fight the enemies on the wall while preventing more enemies from scaling the city wall.
The place where Zhang San was located belonged to the west city wall. At this time, some enemy soldiers also climbed up and were engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Zhang San joined forces with Genzi, Heixiong, Zhang Zhi, Zou Rong and Erwazi to change tactics.
Black Bear was carrying a shield in one hand and the last-minute knife in the other hand at the front. Genzi was blocking the right wing with the knife and shield as well. Zou Rong took over Zhang Zhi's original position on the left wing. The injured Zhang Zhi guarded the rear. Zhang San and Er
The babies are in the middle, holding a spear in each hand.
This is a small mandarin duck formation often used in escort training. Originally, five people fought together. At this time, there was an extra Zhang San, who occupied the central position with Er Wazi.
Under the charge of the black bear, the six people attacked the enemy fiercely.
Black Bear held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and chopped down the two enemies blocking the road to the ground one after another.
Erwazi and Zhang San first used bows, arrows and hand crossbows to kill the excess enemies, not giving them a chance to surround themselves and others.
Along the way, the six of them were like a meat grinder, leaving enemy corpses everywhere and heading to the gap in the west city wall to reinforce them.
Cheng Chumo is also here. The color of his armor is indistinguishable, and his face is covered with blood. I don’t know if it’s his own or the enemy’s. From a distance, he looks like a murderous god, cold and fierce.
People kept falling, including enemies and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
When Erwazi saw an enemy trying to sneak attack Cheng Chumo, he drew his bow to full capacity in an instant, and the arrow pierced through the wind and penetrated the enemy's right chest.
Cheng Chumo heard the news and turned around to see Zhang San making a careful gesture to him and grinning.
Cheng Chumo turned around and instantly turned into a murderer again, joining several soldiers to guard the gap.
Zhang's team of 36 people also cut down several enemies who came forward one after another and reached the gap.
"Get out of the way and leave it to us!" Black Bear shouted, and without waiting for the soldiers to react, he stepped forward and then stood up the shield at the gap with a bang.
Genzi and Zou Rong also stepped forward from the two wings to block the remaining gap. Zhang San and Erwa put away their crossbows and extended their spears from the gap between the two shields. They retracted and sprinted back and forth, splashing blood.
The enemy also rolled down wailing.
Seeing how powerful Zhang San and the others were, Cheng Chumo couldn't help laughing, and led a few dazed soldiers to rush to other gaps for reinforcements.
Zhang, San and Liu's men stood across the gap in the west city wall, like a mountain, making it difficult for the enemy to cross.
True to its name, the Black Bear Man was even more brutal in its attacks. With one strike, a fish that had slipped through the net was knocked to the ground, with blood splattering all over it.
Zhang San's hands were sore and his arms seemed to be not his own. He could only rely on perseverance to persist.
The enemy seemed to see that there was a hard nut to crack here, so they slowly moved to other places to find new breakthroughs.
The enemy's siege vehicles and ladders were also used again, and the frontal battle was even more brutal. A soldier who lost one arm howled and strangled the enemy's neck with his other arm, and climbed down the city wall.
The enemy did not expect that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were so tenacious, and they were desperate for their lives in the fight.
Little did they know that catching the common people and humiliating the sergeants at that time did not disintegrate the combat power of the Tang army as they expected, but instead aroused the anger and fighting spirit in their hearts!
If you don't have bows and arrows, then start hand-to-hand combat and fight the enemy with anything you can use as a weapon.
The enemy's ladder is getting closer and closer to the city wall, but there is nothing to do at this time. I can only watch the enemy standing on the ladder showing off his power.
"Keep an eye on the enemy's ladder. Behind our brothers is our home, our brothers, sisters, and fellow villagers. We must not let the enemy take a step forward. The entire army must obey orders and fight to the death!"
Following Cheng Yaojin's order, a group of soldiers on the city wall shouted: "Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"The Tang Dynasty will win!"
"Kill!"
Zhang San saw that the enemy's ladder was slowly approaching the city wall. If he was approached by this guy, the enemy would be able to easily scale the city wall using the ladder, and then the city would be broken at the fingertips.
"Black Bear, return to the battle formation and follow me to the city wall."
Black Bear didn't know why Zhang San gave such an order at this time. Aren't you going to be a "deserter" if you go down the city wall at this time?
"Sir, this..." Black Bear was about to retort, but was choked by Genzi's words.
"Follow orders!"
"Don't think too much. I'm going to get the magic weapon. Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late." Zhang San naturally wanted to get the defective explosive bag.
Before coming to the border town, Zhang San had already collected the materials. During his time in the border town, Zhang San fiddled with these things. Finally, after repeated failures, Zhang San successfully prepared gunpowder, but it was still a bit difficult to turn it into an explosive pack.
, and after some further research, it was finally developed.
But before he had time to experiment, the fighting became fierce later. Zhang San was as tired as a dog every day, so he temporarily put the explosive pack aside.
Yesterday, I heard that the war in the border town had reached a dire straits. Zhang San dug out the explosive bag again and made some changes.
If future generations knew that there was an explosive bag hidden under Zhang San's bed, they would definitely admire Zhang San's awesomeness. He was a fierce man who dared to sleep on the explosive bag.
Of course, it was difficult to hide this thing in a military camp, so I had to throw it under my bed.
The six men retreated while fighting, and retreated to the bottom of the city wall.
When Cheng Chumo saw Zhang San being escorted down the city wall, he shouted: "Damn you, I'm ashamed to be your brother!"
I don’t know if Zhang San heard what Cheng Chumo said. At this time, there was fighting everywhere on the city wall. After Zhang San and others killed several enemy soldiers, they finally sent Zhang San down.
"Erwazi, you come with me. You stay up there and pay attention to safety. I will come back when I go." After Zhang San said that, he took Erwazi and ran non-stop to his residence.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" Erwazi was puzzled and asked as he ran.
"Get weapons and blow up those turtles." Zhang San ran out of breath and cursed.
After running into the camp, Zhang San took out the wrapped explosive bag and the small half bag containing gunpowder from under the bed, and said softly: "It's up to you!"
Erwazi knew that this was something that Zhang San had been tinkering with. He originally asked them to find those saltpeters and the like, but later they were made into these things.
"Erwazi, hurry up and get some clay pots, bamboo tubes, etc., and follow me." Zhang San ordered.
"Master, what are you doing with these?" The two boys, one with two heads and two heads, looked puzzled.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just take it if I tell you to. Hurry up, it's too late." Zhang San picked up the explosive bag, carried a small half bag of gunpowder, and ran towards the city wall.
Erwazi took two clay pots and several bamboo tubes, shouted: "Wait for my son!" and ran towards the city wall.
