The soldiers who defended the city were already gnashing their teeth in hatred of the rebels under the city wall, and now they were promised such huge profits.
Each and every one of them seemed to have been injected with blood, their eyes were red and they were extremely excited!
What's more, they can't wait to die for their country!
After all, there will always be one day in life.
You have to die early or late, but you have to die with value!
If he dies, he will exchange his son for a place in the Imperial College and a bright future.
This is not a loss for most people!
It’s even very profitable!
When the benefits reach 50%, people will be excited.
When the benefits reach 100%, people will go crazy.
And when the benefits reach 200%, people will become hysterical and completely lose their minds!
Today's city defenders are almost in this state!
When Li Zhufeng saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and said, "Bring everything up!"
After a while, someone moved barrels of boiling gold juice, rolling wood and thunder stones, and several large crossbows onto the city wall!
Not only that, there were even several small trebuchets that were brought up!
You know, this is a powerful weapon for defending the city!
The large ones were all taken by Liu Gong, King of Zhongshan, to guard the northern border. Even Qiandu City only had small ones.
In addition, the armor worn by the soldiers was all iron chain armor!
There are a few soldiers who are tall and very powerful at first glance, and they are even assigned plate armor!
This thing is difficult to damage with ordinary swords. It is usually worn by heavy cavalry or heavy infantry!
Now it is actually worn on the soldiers guarding the city. It can be seen that Huaiqing has already used his old skills to protect the capital and truly supports Li Zhufeng in defending the city.
And that's not all. Now all the blacksmiths and iron mines in Qiandu City have been gathered together to build armor day and night.
Rolling wood thunder stones and golden juice are also prepared by specialized logistics personnel.
The ordnance and equipment of the city defenders can completely crush the rebels. The only thing they lack is manpower!
And Huaiqing has issued a decree to recruit troops in Qiandu City.
But even if we recruit soldiers, they are still new soldiers!
When they go to the battlefield, most of them die.
Therefore, they must be the real backbone of the city defense!
Just when Li Zhufeng was thinking a lot, Liu Jing and Liu Qing under the city wall also launched an attack!
Dark clouds pressed down on the city. Thousands of soldiers, carrying ladders and enduring the severe cold, launched a charge towards the city wall!
"Archers at the ready!"
"put!"
Whoosh!
There were bursts of sound piercing the air, and a thousand arrows formed a rain of arrows, falling from the sky.
He shot and killed many people, but that was all!
With the death of a large number of soldiers, there are only 3,000 archers left in the current lineup!
And these 3,000 people were divided into three groups for non-stop shooting, so each group only had 1,000 people!
A thousand arrows are really not enough in front of an army of tens of thousands.
Liu Jing, who was wearing armor under the city wall, looked at this scene with a happy expression and began to command with all his strength!
Although all the siege warriors were killed and injured, it would not be impossible to build a smaller siege ram and then use ordinary soldiers to attack the city!
Boom!
With a loud bang!
The battering ram hit the gate of Qiandu City hard.
The defenders on the city wall suddenly felt the ground shaking, as if an earth dragon was turning over.
That's not all. Several ladders have been set up on the city wall in front of us!
On the ladder are rebel soldiers holding swords in their mouths and using their hands and feet, scrambling to climb up!
Obviously, this group of soldiers is much more elite than the previous group.
Because they are the tiger and wolf divisions brought by Liu Qing from Daqianxi Xinjiang! Not the rabble Liu Jing secretly recruited!
In addition, Liu Jing's familiarity with commanding troops is not the same as before!
This is no rookie general, he is clearly a ruthless battlefield veteran!
The first few times, he was obviously hiding his clumsiness and luring them into a trap!
Li Zhufeng gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Jing in the distance with his eyes, holding the long bow that had already been stretched to the full moon.
Once he gets a chance, he will shoot a thunderous arrow and kill Liu Jing directly!
It's a pity that this guy was too cautious and stayed far away, giving him no chance to display his marksmanship!
Li Zhufeng sighed, put down his bow and arrows, and began to direct his soldiers to defend the city with all his heart.
All of a sudden, rain of arrows, thundering rocks, rolling wood, gold juice, and even huge stones thrown by powerful crossbows and catapults all fell from the sky.
In the severe cold weather, with deadly murderous intent, it roared into the crowd of tens of thousands of rebels.
For a time, broken arms and limbs piled up everywhere, and blood gathered into streams, soaking large tracts of land in blood red!
Some rebels had better luck and were only injured but not killed.
But in this severe cold weather, the wound immediately began to chap and worsen.
Coupled with the various attacks falling from the sky, you will soon die.
The large open space in front of Qiandu City has turned into a meat grinder-like scene!
You know, in the past, this was a transportation hub for traveling from north to south.
Countless people came from all directions just to see the prosperity of Qiandu City.
Now... all I can see is blood red all over the ground!
"kill!"
Finally, after countless soldiers were killed and injured, someone from the rebel side finally climbed up the city wall through a ladder!
When Li Zhufeng saw this, his eyelids jumped wildly, and he rushed over, unsheathed the long knife on his waist, and killed him with one strike!
The whole process was so fast and accurate that no matter who saw it, they would praise it for its good work!
However, Li Zhufeng did not stop at all, and turned around and rushed in the other direction the next moment!
The same knife cut off the leader, but another rebel climbed up.
But he knows that this won't work!
As a general, his most important thing is to command the three armies, not to kill enemy soldiers!
If the three armies are in chaos, countless enemy troops will come up!
Fortunately, he was prepared for this situation.
"The whole army obeys the order! Pour the tung oil!" Li Zhufeng shouted loudly, which resounded throughout the city.
In an instant, the soldiers picked up the tung oil that had been prepared beside them and poured it on the ladder set up on the city wall!
Wow!
Suddenly, oil and water splashed everywhere!
With tung oil, the handle on the ladder becomes as smooth as a loach!
Some rebel soldiers couldn't hold it firmly, and their arms lost their strength and fell to pieces!
For a time, the dangerous situation was greatly alleviated!
But when Liu Jing saw this in the distance, he snorted coldly and said: "The three armies listen to the order, wrap their palms with cloth, and then climb the ladder!"
Hearing this, the soldiers at the ladder took out their clothes from their armor, cut them off with a knife, held them in their hands, and climbed up again.
In this way, although it is still lubricated, it does slow down a lot.
The pressure once again came to Li Zhufeng's side.
