"The first to climb the city will be promoted to the head of the family, and the head of the family will be promoted to the master of the plate! Reward ten people and two horses, and those who retreat will die!"
An old battalion commander at the back started shouting loudly, and then wielded a long knife to chop down a servant who was left behind. Groups of elders and servants rushed towards the bamboo ladder of the little boy.
Hundreds of bamboo ladders were erected along the city wall. Both the elders and the siblings rushed up the stairs first. Three or four people could climb up on one bamboo ladder. The bamboo ladder was bent downwards and felt like it could break at any time.
There were many rogues waiting below. There was a noisy crowd under the city wall. People with shields were holding their shields high above their heads. They could not retreat or go up the city wall. Those bamboo ladders were the only passage.
Under the bamboo ladder of the little boy were all his accomplices who had gone up to the fifth post. The boy army he was leading had been blocked by the crowd. He hid next to a servant with a shield, and used the man to cover himself, looking up from the edge of the shield.
City head.
At this time, when viewed from below, the city wall appears taller, and the battlements draw uneven gray dividing lines on the bright sky.
From the dividing line, stones and gray bottles flew out from time to time, and they were thrown at the crowd randomly. Three more stones flew out from the battlements on the left. There was a cry from the city, and one stone flew straight in the direction of the little boy.
, the little boy shrank back and pressed against the waist of the servant in front of him to prevent him from retreating. The servant howled loudly and raised his shield desperately.
There was a muffled bang, and the shield covered with cowhide cracked open, but it blocked the stone.
The servant took a step back, still yelling.
Another black shadow flew out, and the little boy immediately recognized the shape of the cylinder.
The fire thunder fell down with white smoke, and the surrounding people screamed, and the bandits fled in all directions with the fire thunder as the center of the circle.
One of the servants howled and rushed towards the fire thunder, grabbed it and threw it back to the city. But when he raised his hand, he seemed to feel that the fire thunder was too heavy and could not be thrown up the city wall. He quickly stopped and wanted to throw it elsewhere.
There were people around him, so he hesitated again.
There was a loud bang, and the servant was engulfed in fire and white smoke, and his broken fingers and clothes flew out with the white smoke.
There were several more screams around, and even though they ran away, some people were still injured by flying nails.
The little boy felt a stinging sensation in his left arm, and then started to feel pain. He raised his hand and saw that an iron nail was stuck in his flesh. He quickly grabbed the tail, took a breath and pulled it out suddenly. There was a sharp pain in the wound.
The child bared his teeth and roared, a surge of anger rising in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it.
An inhuman howl came from the white smoke. He didn't have to think about how injured the man would be, but it was definitely hopeless. But he was also a little strange in his heart. The man was not killed even if he held it in his hand. This shows that the fire
The thunder may not be severe, and it is almost impossible to kill, but it will cause a large number of wounded people, and the panic caused is also very strong, at least the little boy has some psychological shadow.
Then the stones were thrown down from above. There were a lot of stones, but fortunately they were all smaller stones. Most of them were blocked by the guards next to them. Otherwise, the guards would not have been able to throw them over the top of the battlements. At this time, the entrance to the battlements had already been climbed.
The people of the city were blocked, and the positions inside the city wall were full of spearmen. The spear points at the crenellations were constantly retracting and retracting, fighting with the people at the top of the bamboo ladder.
Therefore, the defenders could no longer throw the millstone down, and no one could lift the millstone over the battlements.
The intensity of the throwing at the city head has weakened a lot, and the physical strength of the defenders has also been greatly depleted, and the density is no longer as high as before. At this time, the fire thunder should have been more effective, both light and able to kill a large number of dense crowds, but the number of throws
It has also been greatly reduced. The little boy doesn't know the reason, but he is glad that it is.
After dodging two more fire thunders and a few rocks, the little boy was sweating all over his back. There were rocks everywhere on the ground. There was almost no place to stay in this area. There were also injured people who were still on the ground.
They were twisting and howling, all piled up under the city and ignored. They were trampled here and there, and there was chaos under the city. A few of the uninjured servants were crying crazily, and their spirits had collapsed.
Judging from Xiaowazi's experience, if the people on the ladder cannot climb the city to contain it, then such an offensive will not last long, even if there is an old battalion to supervise the battle.
The city was always in a passive situation of being beaten. All the servants and elders who participated in the attack were highly nervous and extremely exhausted, and were on the verge of collapse at any time. The little boy didn't shoot an arrow or cut a knife, he just kept dodging stones and fire thunder.
At this time, I also feel that my physical strength is running out.
There may be only one millstone left before collapse. If a millstone really appears at the crenel, the little boy has decided to run away at all costs. He would rather be hacked to death than smashed into a ball of meat by the millstone.
He continued to raise his head and pay attention to the top of the city. At the top of the bamboo ladder above his head, there were only two people climbing.
Xia took a step back. The red-clothed elder behind him was already impatient. Seeing that he still dared to retreat, he roared and swung his bone in the middle of Si Yang's waist. Si Yang fell to the ground with a howl.
The elder stepped up, holding a round shield in his left hand and an iron sword in his right hand. As soon as his head reached the crenel, the sharp blades flashed inside, and at least three spears were attacking him. He quickly took a step back, not daring to climb the next two steps.
On a bamboo ladder, once the upper body is completely exposed at the crenel, and the opponent stabs him flatly, he will not be able to leverage on the ladder, and the push will be overthrown.
He only stood where his head was exposed. This position was farther away from the battlements. If the defenders wanted to successfully attack him, they needed to be exposed at the entrance of the battlements. The elder kept testing the defenders inside. A defender with a spear seemed to
Being anxious, he appeared on the crenel and stabbed down with his spear desperately. The elder held up his shield to resist. Under the fierce thrust of the spearman, the bamboo ladder shook violently.
The spearman was getting ready to fight when more than a dozen arrows shot through the air. Two or three of them hit the spearman's face. He raised his head and disappeared from the crenel in an instant.
The old battalion supervising the battle behind stood twenty steps away, with the servants erecting door panels to block the retreat, and blocking the retreat with swords and guns. Most of the rogues who used bows and arrows had fired dozens of arrows in succession, and their physical strength dropped sharply, but they killed one after such a long interval.
The guards can still do it.
"Come on!"
The little boy shouted.
The elder also recognized this opportunity. Not only was there missing a guard, but the guard who was hit by the arrow would also block the attack angle at the top of the city. This was indeed the best opportunity.
The elder took two hurried steps and looked inside the city. The bone in his hand flew out, and there was a scream from inside the wall. The little boy knew that there was one less guard, so there should be only one person left among the three spears at the crenel.
This is a critical time.
The elder took out the ladder knife from his waist, held his shield in front of him, stepped onto the crenellation in two steps, and jumped into the city wall with a roar.
There was a burst of cheers from the city.
"Follow up quickly!"
The little kid pulled out his sword and pulled open the servant who was standing in front of him. Although he was not the first one to climb the city, this bamboo ladder was attracting everyone's attention. As long as he climbed up, the master would definitely remember it when he saw it.
The little kid thought so as he climbed up the bamboo ladder.
This section of the city wall formed a gap. After the Changjia jumped into the city wall, the defenders on the two bamboo ladders next to it were also restrained. A breakthrough could be formed quickly. As long as enough people climbed up, they could occupy this section of the city wall. Waiting for the accumulation
After a certain number, they can attack along the city wall and occupy the gate tower of Nanxun Gate, where they can gather forces for subsequent attacks.
There were cheers in the city, big drums under the yellow flag were beating, and the morale of the bandits was high. The little boy climbed up and quickly climbed up the swaying bamboo ladder. This was a unique skill of him and his brother. They were the fastest climbers at Shangwushao.
People quickly reached the top, and everyone around them cheered in unison.
The little boy climbed up to the last level, and there was a sound of fighting inside. The first thing he saw was a straw factory, with only a few straw bundles and cupping pots left. After climbing to the crenel, he took a look and saw three guards lying on the ground.
, looking at the government officials and common people, two spears fell to the ground.
There were thunderous shouts on both sides, and it was obvious that the battle was still fierce. The little boy took a breath and jumped into the city wall, becoming the second person to climb the city wall.
Looking around, I saw a thick wooden frame in the battlement next to me. There was a cylinder on the top and something like a pulley on the bottom. There were several thick ropes on the cylinder, and there was an upright on the ground under the wooden frame.
Millstone, it seems that this thing is used to place the millstone on the crenel.
Looking in the direction of the city tower, a fierce battle was taking place there. Three or four soldiers were blocking the front. The way they held their spears showed their lack of training, and they looked weak when thrusting out. However, none of them flinched and shouted loudly to attack.
He stabbed randomly with a short spear in his hand.
The elder fought with them with a ladder knife. Neither side dared to get too close. The elder did not have any armor on his body, so this short spear was quite a deterrent. Once it hit the vital point, even if he did not die at the time, it would still be very dangerous.
It could cause serious injury, so they were careful to look for opportunities.
Several social soldiers came from the left direction. The little boy picked up a short spear on the ground and was about to fight. Another companion jumped from the wall. He used a long knife to drive the few social soldiers away.
They retreated continuously, and then another person jumped in. The two of them forced the soldiers back.
The surrounding two bamboo ladders began to jump into the crowd, the drums under the city were thundering, and the cheers of the bandits were earth-shattering.
The little boy took a few breaths, turned around and rushed towards the city tower. At this time, three people were already fighting against the soldiers. They all used waist knives and ladder knives. It took a lot of space to swing them. The city wall was narrow and couldn't be used. On the contrary, it was on the opposite side.
The spears were denser and blocked the passage of the city wall.
The soldiers were highly nervous, and their attention was focused on the bandits in the front row. The swords and guns of both sides collided with each other.
The little kid didn't go to the front row, but hid in the back row on the left. In front of him was the elder who was the first to climb the city. This person was also on the fifth post. The little kid knew that this elder was a local bandit from Shanxi.
, had been a frontier soldier before, and never suffered any losses in battles. Just now, he jumped into the city wall alone, restraining all the nearby defenders, allowing those who followed to board the city, and he himself was not injured.
At this time, the elder was still holding the shield, and his steps were quite flexible. He kept stepping forward to test. The opponent stabbed him and then stepped back, waiting for the soldiers to reveal their neutral position. He fought patiently and carefully. He had already achieved his first victory on the city.
There is no need to go to extreme lengths.
As soon as his shield deflected a stabbing attack from the side, he immediately took a step forward and raised his sword to strike. The soldiers on the opposite side were screaming and killing. The elder immediately wanted to retreat again. Suddenly, he was hit hard from behind. Not only did he not retreat,
, and was knocked forward.
It happened so suddenly that he had no time to block, and the spear from the opposite side stabbed into his abdomen. The elder hissed and dropped his shield, subconsciously holding the spear shaft with one hand.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's spear could not be retrieved, the little boy jumped out from beside him and entered the soldier's gun from the side. The short spear in his hand stabbed out with lightning, and the spearhead plunged into the soldier's right abdomen.
The soldier screamed and bowed back. The little boy had already entered the flank of the soldier from the position he had given up. He threw away his spear and drew out his sword, slashing at the other soldier behind him.
The blade slashed diagonally across the soldier's cheek, from his forehead across the bridge of his nose and cheek, and blood spurted out.
The little boy squeezed the two injured soldiers to prevent the other short spears from crossing. He slashed at several people with his waist knife. Several soldiers were crowded together, and the short spears were useless. The other two or three bandits rushed forward.
He came over and stabbed several people randomly with the ladder knife and waist knife.
Several soldiers were so crowded that they could not move, and they turned into piles of corpses under the frantic hacking. A group of soldiers who were coming were horrified when they saw it. They quickly stopped and could only defend where they were. The tower in front
A rapid gong sounded.
.
"Forward!"
The little boy's face was covered with blood, and he roared with the gapped waist knife. He needed to expand the occupied city wall as soon as possible to allow more accomplices to rush up. According to their general experience in sieges, as long as they occupy a section of the city wall, these cities without officers and soldiers will generally
Broken, I only met a monster in Luzhou and was driven back.
At this time, three more companions came up from behind, and everyone moved forward to fight together. The little boy ran a few steps and then fell behind and stopped. No one in front noticed.
The little boy returned to the place where the fierce battle had just taken place. The injured elder on the ground was still twisting. He was holding his bleeding abdomen with his right hand. He was in so much pain that he could not speak. His eyes were round and he pointed at the little boy with his left hand.
, the throat makes a strange sound.
The newly arrived companions rushed to both sides, and no one paid attention. The little kid picked up a short spear and walked to the elder, stepped on his neck, and the tip of the spear hung downward. The elder opened his eyes wide.
eyes, but there is no way to avoid it.
The little kid's knees were slightly bent, and the tip of the spear slowly penetrated the elder's heart. No one on the city wall noticed this tiny movement at this time.
The elder opened his mouth wide, feeling the cold spear tip slowly break through the skin and muscles, and get closer to his heart.
