Cao Zhi was moved and glanced at Yu Sima, who was lying in a pool of blood. A few seconds ago, this man was talking to him respectfully, but now he was a dead man. Life is really unpredictable, and the danger of the battlefield is every minute.
It exists every second.
In fact, every soldier understands that only God has the final say when he will die. Therefore, the death of their Sima only shocked these people for a moment. Everyone knows that their biggest task now is to resist the barbarian army.
Attack, mourn, etc. after the battle is over, as long as you are still alive.
Cao Zhi lamented, and there was no time for him to express his emotions. He fired a long spear and shouted loudly: "Now I am commanding the east city. Please pay attention, the barbarian army is attacking the city. The archers are ready..."
Originally, there were only a thousand soldiers stationed in the east city, and the defense equipment was not as complete as the south city. After many barbarian attacks, nearly half of them were lost. Lu Kang also made timely adjustments, which was to remove the nearly 500 people who were responsible for transporting supplies in the city.
Civil servants were brought up to serve as soldiers.
These civilians were just ordinary people with no military training. In a panic, after listening to the soldiers' explanation, regardless of whether there were enemies under the city, they grabbed stones and threw them down, making the soldiers stomp their feet in anger.
These people didn't know how to protect themselves. A civilian husband who popped up was shot in the chest by an arrow. Cao An, who had just ran over, grabbed him. The other civilian husbands were frightened when they saw it.
Some officers and soldiers shouted loudly, but refused to show their heads.
Hearing the horns and the sound of gongs and drums, the soldiers rushed to the top of the city and looked nervously down the city. The barbarian cavalry did not disperse in a swarm to attack the city as before, but among the dense enemy troops, more than ten appeared
The crude siege ladder seemed to have been temporarily cut from the mountain.
The wall of the east city is not very high. If you put up a ladder and cover it with the incredible archery skills of the barbarians, if only one of the few people in the city can be breached, the whole situation will be over.
The wall of the East City is much shorter than that of the South City, and there are naturally many fewer caves to hide soldiers. The extremely lethal "waters of war" are also pitifully small. Bows, arrows, wood, and rolling stones were all used by the defenders in an instant, but the soldiers
The number of people is so small that it is now difficult to control the defense of the entire city wall.
As the barbarian army quickly attacked the city, the ape-like barbarian army quickly climbed up using wooden ladders. The defenders on a section of the city wall not far away were shot dead by enemy archers ambushing high in the mountains.
People, according to the situation, formed a temporary air defense. Four barbarian troops had rushed up from an escalator not far away. There were still people climbing up behind and fighting fiercely with the city defenders. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Zhu danced
Two bloody swords rushed over like a gust of wind.
Xu Zhu beheaded several barbarian soldiers with his own hands. He was very good at killing. He held two bloody swords and loudly cursed the stupid people. He kicked them on the butt from time to time and shouted at the soldiers to teach them how to fight.
At the same time, Cao An asked Cao Zhi anxiously: "Sir, can we use explosives and mines?"
Cao Zhi didn't think about it and vetoed it casually: "No, it can't be used. Didn't you see the collapsed houses just now?"
"Landmines" are made of stone and filled with gunpowder. Each mine is also mixed with at least 100 small stones, as well as broken iron fragments and iron caltrops. When it explodes, shrapnel flies hundreds of steps away, injuring many enemies.
.Yellow straw paper and clay are filled with gunpowder. When exploded, they are equally lethal. However, the vibrations produced are also huge. Ancient houses are not as earthquake-resistant as modern houses. In this long-term war, the lives of ordinary people are already difficult enough.
Okay, Cao Zhi couldn't get over the tragedy he just saw when houses were collapsed and ordinary people died in vain. He could no longer be so reckless and use this thing that harmed others and himself.
The bombs were inoperable. Xu Zhu, who had just repelled several barbarian troops who were charging forward, also heard this. Looking at the barbarian troops swarming under the city, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
At this time, Xu Zhu also saw his lord's uncle's heart. What else could he say? Soldiers can only obey orders. This is what Cao Zhi often taught him. He is not just a mischief-maker, he can also do it well.
Soldiers, then sacrifice their lives.
He slashed down several barbarians one after another with his sword, looked at the trembling civilians at his feet, and laughed loudly: "What are you afraid of? The first time I went to the battlefield to fight, my legs cramped. It was a gangster brother who pinched my neck and forced me to
I'm the one charging forward, so if you kill a few more, you won't be afraid."
This fighting spirit was so good at fighting that he jumped up to the city wall and kicked down an enemy soldier who had just climbed up. He slashed wildly with the big knife in his hand and cut the wooden ladder tied with ropes several times. Several of the soldiers who had just climbed up were cut off.
Half of the barbarian soldiers screamed and fell down.
Suddenly, flying arrows rained down from the city, shooting at Xu Zhu. Xu Zhu stood on the top of the city with his swords in his hands, making them impervious to the wind and rain, and actually blocked all the sharp arrows.
When the timid soldiers around saw how brave the leading general was, their morale was greatly shaken, and they suppressed the barbarian offensive for a while.
The civilians who were originally timid and fearful of fighting seemed to have been inspired to fight. They used stones, rolling logs, and lime. Many people picked up the swords and guns of the dead sergeants and joined in the melee. The barbarian army completely wanted to use their lives to force the enemy to fight.
He found a way out and vowed to capture Wancheng.
In this bloody storm, a citizen has been hiding in the crowd, lowering his head, as if he was afraid of being seen. Cao Zhi and others naturally did not pay attention, and said:
Like other civilians, he was afraid and cowered.
At this time, Cao Zhi was still struggling with the choice between explosives and life. He was suddenly awakened by the screams very close to him. At this time, the number of officers and soldiers guarding the city was extremely short, and there was another gap with no fresh troops to fill it. Cao Zhi didn't even think about it.
He grabbed the spear and rushed over.
The fight between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield is not too fancy. It is the simplest and most direct hacking and assassination action. However, once he gets involved, Cao Zhi realizes his troubles. There are endless barbarians. After killing one, another one comes up. He is completely trapped in a bitter battle.
How could he defend this section of the city wall by himself? As soon as a barbarian soldier with a knife climbed up, Cao Zhi's spear immediately passed over the soldier's neck, and with a move, he hacked away the barbarian soldier.
At this time, there was another end of the battlement, but taking advantage of Cao Zhi's unpreparedness, two barbarians rushed up and rushed to Cao Zhi's right side. Cao Zhi was dealing with the barbarian army that continued to climb up, and had no time to take care of it.
His head was only turned halfway, and all he saw was a black figure rushing towards the barbarian soldiers like a leopard. The turban on the man's head was blown away when he jumped into the wind, and it caught fire.
I saw that the face flying in the wind was somewhat familiar.
I saw this man wielding a wind and fire stick that he had picked up from nowhere. The man and the stick were almost in a straight line. With a roar, the tip of the stick came from behind and struck the head of the barbarian army who was charging forward.
