Cao Zhi handed over the iron bow, pointed at the pile of carved feather arrows that had not been used up but were packed with explosives, and said loudly: "From now on, don't worry about anything else, just point at the enemy's trebuchet."
They kept firing arrows in the direction, harassing them to the point where they could no longer throw quick rocks."
"What about the enemy troops under the city?"
"You don't have to worry about it, come on..."
"Why!"
Xu Zhu agreed and grabbed a civilian who was running around to light a fire for him. He went to the battlement that had been smashed under the main city tower, looked at the direction briefly, and then raised his bow.
Come.
Cao Zhi no longer cares about accuracy, but only values Xu Zhu's super long physical strength. As long as he can prevent the enemy from throwing stone bullets, he will win. Cao Zhi looked at the advancing enemy, clenched his fists, and had already given up the cry of killing.
His blood was boiling. He held the sword in his hand again and shouted: "The civilians left in the middle, and everyone else, divide into two teams to stop the enemy and kill!"
As the war drums beat, Cao Zhi led a group of troops to block the enemy forces climbing the city on the left wing, while Wang Ping led his troops to block the enemy forces on the right wing of the city wall.
Using wood, rolling stones, water, bows and arrows, the defenders used all possible means to prevent the enemy from breaching the city wall.
The siege enemy soldiers climbed up the city in a huddle, but the hook broke. No one paid attention to their companions who fell down the city wall. The ladder was pushed down, and someone immediately helped them up and climbed up. Their target entered the city. They
They have seen the brilliance of money, they have smelled the fragrance of women's flesh, and the last ones who survive can enjoy it all.
Blood was splashing everywhere, screams, shouts, explosions, and the grinding sound of weapons piercing flesh. The whole city was boiling, and death threatened everyone at every moment.
The soldiers guarding the city were protected from the sudden attack of cold arrows, which was the only attack method of the water pirate cavalry under the city. From time to time, someone on both sides of the city wall was talking to you one second, and had an arrow stuck in his head the next second, and even howled.
They fell to the ground. But the soldiers on the city were still brave. Regardless of whether their companions had fallen or not, they only focused on throwing logs and rolling stones. As long as there was an enemy sticking his head out from the wall, they would swing their swords mercilessly.
Many headless corpses fell under the city.
The water thieves below the city were also very brave, and people kept joining the ranks of people climbing the city. At the same time, they were even more determined. Some water thieves fell from the city, but they did not die immediately. One water thieves broke his spine.
The leader of the thieves lay on the snow and howled, reaching out to his companions who were passing by for help. His companions looked at him, gave him a knife ruthlessly, robbed him of all his belongings, turned around and joined the climber with a loud laugh.
In the procession of the city, the next second this guy's head was smashed open by a rolling stone, blood was sprayed in the air, and the fate of having his property looted also happened to him.
Repeatedly, thrilling and cruel scenes were staged one after another.
Xu Chu's arrows tied with explosives staged a thrilling explosion scene, and one arrow even blew away one of the trebuchet's wheels, but this time the water thief who controlled the trebuchet did not retreat. Zheng Bao gave a death order and must let the trebuchet go again.
Operation, otherwise these water thieves operating trebuchets will all die. He himself also led a hundred and ten cronies not far away to press the formation, staring at these water thieves operating trebuchets, and staring at the battlefield in the distance
, his hands were holding the reins so tightly that they were almost broken by him. His palms were sweaty, which was the result of high tension. The difficulty of the battle was far beyond his imagination, and the tenacity of the enemy troops defending the city was
What he also didn't expect was the damn "thunder fire", which was so powerful that some of his men were falling down every moment, and the trebuchets were also blown up, killing many people.
At this time, he waved his hand again, and dozens of his close followers rode forward to replace the third group of slingers.
In this battle, Zheng Bao was only allowed to win, not lose. Many people were waiting to see his jokes, and even more people were waiting to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Finally, after unremitting efforts, the trebuchet launched a large stone, and "bang" hit the city tower again. Under the splash of saltpeter, only the figures on the opposite city wall were shaking, and a new round of screams could be heard.
Zheng Bao and his cronies cheered, Zheng Bao waved his hand back, and the remaining thousand men and horses immediately galloped off to attack the city wall. Zheng Bao no longer thought about it, he wanted to make a desperate move to capture the east gate.
.
As the trebuchet was skillfully operated, the water pirates moved the trebuchet faster and faster. In the next period of time, the gunpowder arrows on the city wall and the rapid rocks shot by the trebuchet flew across each other, "coaxing"
The sound of "bang" kept coming, and the scene was very lively for a while.
Cao Zhi commanded his sergeants to resist vigorously. Zheng Bao's sudden increase of troops greatly increased the pressure on Cao Zhi. In addition, the stone bullets fired by the trebuchets flew everywhere, causing many casualties on Cao Zhi's city wall.
Cao Zhi got angry and asked Wang Ping to join the ranks of shooting explosive arrows. However, Wang Ping used an ordinary big bow and could not shoot too far, but it also caused heavy casualties to the enemy troops under the city. If not for Cao Zhi, he would have been responsible for the entire east gate.
The commander himself wanted to throw explosives.
Cao Zhigang ran back from the northern city wall. Along the way, he pierced the throat of an enemy soldier who climbed up the city wall with his sword. He also worked with a soldier to overthrow a ladder with a big fork.
The purpose of rushing back to the southern section was to transfer a few soldiers to the middle section to help the civilians with defense. Enemy troops had already launched an attack on the middle section of the city wall.
"You, you, you...come with me."
After Cao Zhi shouted, he immediately led a dozen soldiers and ran back to the middle section of the city wall near the tower. Standing next to Xu Chu, he asked a civilian: "Are there any enemy troops climbing up again?"
The civilian husband held a torch, huddled his head, and replied with a sad face: "There was just a wave just now, and he didn't come back after being beaten down."
Just as he was saying "bang", a stone bullet hit the city tower again, with a loud bang behind Cao Zhi and others. The city tower had been smashed into tatters and looked dilapidated, but it also had the advantage that the stone saltpeter splashed out was
There were not as many as before. When Cao Zhi and others heard the sound of stone bullets hitting the tower, they just bowed slightly, and the civilian husband was so frightened that he fell down again.
Cao Zhi had no time to pay attention to him and hurriedly looked around. There was no one under the city, but he saw a group of water thieves pushing a huge log towards the city gate just a stone's throw away.
"Archers prepare, the enemy is about to hit the city gate."
Cao Zhi shouted, and the soldiers and civilians around him immediately stood next to the arrow stack, drew their bows and fired wildly at the enemy escorting the giant tree, hitting several enemy soldiers, and several arrows were also inserted into the giant tree. But as soon as there were people in the enemy army,
When it fell, someone stepped in to cover it, so the arrows still couldn't stop the giant tree from moving forward. When the water thieves saw the rain of arrows fired from the city, they all raised their shields, covering their bodies and pushing the giant tree forward slowly.
Cao Zhi saw the giant tree moving forward and became anxious. If the city gate was knocked open, everything would be over.
