Li Hanyan stood next to Zhao Xuanyi, "I'm talking about rubbish. The coach opposite is Dugeqing Mandu Latu, the third son of the Tatar leader. I heard he is also a brave and strategic general. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? You haven't been able to write since you were a child! Give him back to the third prince? He must be an unpopular master, otherwise he will be given a thousand soldiers and horses to come to our Ming border town to fight? I'll beat him like a dog today!" Zhao Xuanyi said with confidence.
Bart returned to Latu, "Third Prince, those dead fish heads on the opposite side make no sense at all, so let's attack directly!"
After hearing this, Latu was not surprised. After all, this result was what he wanted. He stood up slowly and looked at the drummer on the side. "Give me the order. One hundred cavalry will rush directly to the enemy's city. Even if there are people on the road, Even if you are trapped in a horse trap, you must not avoid it, just rush forward bravely!"
"Yes!" The drummer picked up the drumstick [dong dong dong...! 】Start to drum regularly.
When the one hundred cavalrymen on the left wing heard the sound of drums, as if they had received a signal, they began to organize their troops and selected one hundred cavalrymen. As the leader waved his scimitar, the group of cavalrymen flicked their reins and started fighting loudly. Shout and rush towards Huangling City!
"Here we come!" Li Hanyan felt even more stressed when she saw a hundred cavalry coming back quickly! It's not that I'm afraid, it's because I have too few troops and I feel unsure!
Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly, "Wang Yunchuan, Wang Yunlong, shoot arrows for me, don't stop!"
"Yes!" Ten archers stood on the left and right wings of the city wall and started shooting arrows at the enemy! The ten arrows were like tracking missiles, and they felled the unknown cavalry in one rapid fire!
But this group of cavalry were like dead soldiers, not afraid of life and death. Even if they saw bows and arrows being fired, they did not use shields to block them. They still rushed to the foot of Huangling City quickly and soon arrived at the horse pit. There were more than a dozen people in front of them. The war horse fell down quickly, and both the man and the horse fell into the horse pit!
"Ah...!" The trap in the horse pit caused the group of people to scream repeatedly, and the horses that were felled and stabbed began to roar loudly. Even so, the cavalry behind still charged regardless of the danger. When they saw the horses in front and When the soldiers fell, they didn't show any sympathy, but stepped on their corpses!
In this way, there were corpses of horses and soldiers in the horse trap. The cavalry behind them walked on flat ground when passing through the horse trap area and rushed through the horse trap without any difficulty!
Seeing everything in front of him, Zhao Xuanyi's eyes widened in fear. "What are these people doing?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise.
Li Hanyan watched all this with cold eyes, "They are paving the road with the corpses of horses and soldiers, so that the soldiers behind can pass smoothly!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his heart twitched, "Is this still a human being?"
"This is war!" Li Hanyan gritted her teeth and said.
The distance of two hundred meters was reached in the blink of an eye for the cavalry. In the end, there were only about thirty cavalrymen who passed through the horse pit and reached Huangling City. The rest were all in the horse pit or were killed by archers, and these thirty people He didn't stop. After walking around Huangling City, he quickly retreated and returned to the camp along the same route!
"Third Prince, the road ahead has been paved!" a cavalryman shouted loudly. It seemed that what was in the horse pit now was not their brothers and horses, but stones filling the pit!
Latu looked at the road ahead and was very satisfied. "Give me the order. One hundred swordsmen and axemen will form the vanguard and use shields to build defense. There are not many archers on the other side. The inside is so unstable that the ladder still cannot be climbed. Then Use the newly made wall climbing body! Two hundred infantrymen use high ladders to seize the city wall for me! Two hundred archers attack from the left and right wings, all of them shoot rockets for me! Attack me!"
"Yes!" [Dong dong dong...! 】There was another rapid drumbeat, and the Tatar army saw about a hundred people rushing out of the vanguard. They held shields and quickly attacked Huangling City!
"Archer, shoot for me!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Wang Yunlong shouted loudly, and then began to attack the infantry crazily, but he hesitated because he had a shield, and all the arrows in his hand were blocked, unable to hit anyone at all!
Zhao Xuanyi yelled, "How the hell did you cum? Shoot it on my leg!"
Only then did Wang Yunchuan and the other archers react, and began to find the next three routes to launch a fierce attack. This time they changed their attack methods, which made the Tatar infantry unbearable. They said to themselves that you are not authentic! Why did you shoot me in the leg when I was holding a shield?
"Oops!" A large number of enemy troops fell down in one moment. The whole team lay on the ground and screamed. The arrows on their legs were like poisonous snakes, biting the thighs of these enemy troops!
But there are still smart people in the crowd, who use shields to block their thighs, so that everything will be fine [Pfft! 】The arrow pierced the head of this smart-ass man!
One hundred shield soldiers, half of them lay down in the blink of an eye! Seeing such results, Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly, "Okay! Good shot!"
Li Hanyan glanced at Zhao Xuanyi, who was in high spirits, and her eyes were even more filled with admiration!
Latu saw that only half of the shield soldiers were left, and smiled, "It's interesting! Order the archers to attack me!"
"Yes!" A horn sounded, and two hundred archers quickly joined the battlefield from the left and right sides. Two hundred bows and arrows were shot together, and all they shot this time were rockets!
"Escape!" Shen Wei yelled and pressed Lin Yucheng to [Puff puff puff! 】All the flaming bows and arrows came from the sky like lava from a volcanic eruption. At this moment, the sky was really on fire. The rockets shot on the city wall, setting fire to the houses behind them!
Moreover, the opponent had a large number of people. Each salvo fired two hundred rockets, and the entire sky was red with flames. The defenders on the city wall were caught off guard. They had to put out the fire, and at the same time defend themselves against being shot by the next batch of rockets. die!
"Ah!" A soldier was shot and fell off the city wall!
"These bastards have become smarter!" Zhao Xuanyi really didn't expect that the other party would make such a move. He saw more than 20 soldiers in the car running continuously, using clothes or other tools to put out the fire!
"Be careful, don't light the clay pots on fire, otherwise everyone will go to the west!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted!
Only then did Sun Yan and others remember, and tried their best to protect the earthen jars in their hands.
"No one is allowed to put out the fire. If the city wall cannot be broken down, save your life first and hide from me!" The words were simple, but thousands of rockets flew in, and the entire city wall almost turned into a sea of flames. The scorching heat made the city wall burn. All the soldiers were sweating profusely!
【Crackling! The sound of burning reached his ears, and Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, I don’t believe you can turn me into a roasted suckling pig? "Everyone is hiding from me. No one is allowed to attack without my order!"
And the rocket attacks were far more than that. I saw several Tatar archers coming to Huangling City. When the other side did not dare to poke their heads out, they shot rockets at the fixed pulleys built with wheels outside the city wall!
These wheels were originally made of wood. When they were hit by rockets, they burned instantly. The wheels burned, and the ropes on them also burned due to the fire [Creak... Bang! ] All four fixed pulleys on the city wall burned, and several huge falling stones fell down without being pulled by ropes. They hit the ground where there were no enemy troops and could no longer be pulled up!
"Centurion, the pulley is on fire, the rocks have fallen, and all the ropes have been burned!" Sun Yan shouted.
"What?" Zhao Xuanyi was really panicked at this moment. He didn't expect that the other party's Latu was not only ruthless, but also had so many methods to destroy his biggest weapon to defend the city. Zhao Xuanyi's face was frightened for a while. Pale and stunned!
In the distance, Latu saw all the falling stones falling from the city wall, and he felt very happy, "Very good! Just as I thought, he sent two hundred infantrymen, set up high ladders to attack the city wall, and ordered thirty people to carry the largest stone. , attack the city gate quickly!"
"Yes!" [Dong dong dong, dong dong dong! 】A rush of war drums sounded again, and more than two hundred infantrymen rushed towards the gate of Huangling City. They raised their scimitars and shouted loudly, trying to calm down all the soldiers on the city wall with their wolf-like cries!
At this time, the enemy's war drums were the death bell of the Ming soldiers. With rockets above their heads, they did not dare to raise their heads at all. Hundreds of infantrymen from the opponent came like a tide. The soldiers hiding under the city wall could only silently Listening to the enemy getting closer and closer, there is no way to defend!
As the shouts of the opposing soldiers got closer and closer, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty became more and more frightened. Sun Yan was still shaking the earthen jars with his hands. Wang Yunchuan and other archers were also suppressed and did not dare to easily Attack, the battle seemed to have turned into a one-sided situation at this moment.
Li Hanyan frowned and looked at Zhao Xuanyi next to her. Is this really the end? After waving his hand, Zi Yuan behind him saw the gesture and took out the fireworks hidden in his waist.
"Centurion, let's throw down the clay jar!" Sun Yan shouted loudly.
"No!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted and looked at all the soldiers, "All obey my orders, wait for my orders, light the hemp ropes before throwing them down!"
Zhao Xuanyi slowly poked half of his head out and saw that the enemy troops below had already arrived at the city. They were less than twenty meters away from the city wall. Some enemy troops had already begun to set up high ladders and were preparing to climb the city wall!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw this, he shouted, "Brother Shen, smash it!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei led a dozen soldiers and pulled out the rope hidden under him. Li Hanyan's eyes widened and she thought, is there any next move?
"The shield hand raised his shield to protect the attacking soldiers!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted angrily!
"Yes!" Seventeen shield bearers raised their shields to block the flying rockets!
Zhao Xuanyi also stood up and took a carriage plank as a shield, "Listen to my order and throw down all the small rocks!"
"Yes!" I saw seven people standing behind the shield soldiers, lifting half-meter-sized falling stones. These small falling stones were also tied with ropes, and the ends of the ropes were all tied around the waists of the stone-throwing soldiers! Smash it hard to the bottom of the city wall!
【boom! ah……! 】Because there were too many enemy troops, they could hit people with their eyes closed at this time. A dozen small falling stones swarmed in like meteors chasing them. Feeling the stones fall to the ground, these soldiers hurriedly pulled the stones up and then threw them again. Get down! Recycling!
Li Hanyan was dumbfounded when she saw it, "Is this okay?" She thought that the big falling stone would be gone, but she didn't expect that there was a backup plan?
【Bah bang bang! 】Six high wall-climbing ladders were put up in succession. Because the ladders were lengthened, they were high enough! The Tatar soldiers below began to climb crazily!
After Zhao Xuanyi saw it, he panicked and issued the order again, "Slide Shumu down the opponent's ladder, quickly!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei, Tang Tianli and others lifted a piece of wood about two meters wide and placed it on the high ladder that the other party had just set up. It slid down the ladder like a train running on rails!
As soon as the enemy soldier who was climbing up below looked up, before he could see clearly what it was, he was hit hard and fell to the ground crying for his father and mother, loudly in pain!
And the most annoying thing is that these logs are like fallen rocks, with ropes tied to them. After throwing them down, you can pull them up, change the ladder and continue sliding. There were originally two five-meter-long logs, but now they have been sawed open. There are four of them two and a half meters long. Fortunately, the opponent's ladders are not too many. After smashing one ladder, you can switch to another and continue smashing!
Li Hanyan saw that others were fighting and she could still be idle. She shouted to the three maids, "What are you watching here? Help!" After saying that, she ran to Shen Wei and helped pull the heavy wood together! Pull it up and then smash it down!
Hearing the painful screams of the real soldiers under the city, Li Hanyan's blood boiled and said, "Kill me!"
Suddenly, defensive weapons that had not been used before were taken out on the city wall, causing the Tatar offensive to slow down instantly! The battle had started for about twenty minutes, and the two thousand Tatar bows and arrows were almost exhausted. Because of the powerful shield bearers and defensive tools on the Ming Dynasty city wall, only a few people died!
The city wall could not be attacked for a long time, which made Latu very angry. He did not expect that Zhao Xuanyi still had a back-up plan, but thirty people had hit the wooden wall no less than fifty times. Even if the city gate was made of iron, it should be hit. It's broken. If you look closely, you can see that the city gate has been damaged and deformed. The surface of the gate is dented. Why can't it be opened? Isn’t this a ghost?
"Report to the third prince, the arrows we prepared are gone!" a soldier shouted.
"Trash, then let all the archers become infantry and set up six more high ladders for me. I won't believe that I can't climb this city wall!" Latu shouted angrily.
"Yes!" The soldier hurried back to deliver the order! As the howling started again, the Tatars brought six tall ladders from behind again, preparing to set up the city wall and continue the fierce attack! Moreover, the archers on the ground stopped shooting arrows, pulled out the scimitars from their waists, and joined the infantry camp!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw the battle below, he raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha! It's finally here! Everyone shake the clay pots and prepare to attack!"
"Yes!" The twenty-odd soldiers could no longer bear it any longer and picked up the earthen jars that had been shaking for almost half an hour.
Zhao Xuanyi saw that the soldiers from the other side were rushing towards them like sea water. He took out his sword and waved his hand, "Light the fire and throw them down! Throw them ten at a time, in batches!"
