"Put up the drawbridge!! Quick!" the people at the outer city gate shouted.
This cry resounded across the chaotic battlefield, and the faces of the Wengcheng soldiers who had not yet crossed the bridge turned pale in an instant.
If the suspension bridge is retracted at this moment, it means that they have to stay here and face the enemy forces behind them!
They were no match for them in the urn city, but now they were fighting in this open area. At the same time, more and more people rushed out of the urn city, and their strength was increasing.
If you stay here at this time, your life is really at an end and the only way is death!
then--
Roaring sounds soon came from their mouths:
"No! Wait any longer!"
"Wait until we get over and then retract the drawbridge!"
“We haven’t crossed the river yet!!!”
At this moment, everyone was working hard and running forward with all their strength. Any extra things on their bodies were discarded by them, just to increase even a little bit of speed.
"It's too late, put up the suspension bridge! Hurry!"
Next to the suspension bridge, the soldiers pulled the noose, and with the sound of "click, click, click", the suspension bridge gradually lifted from the water, getting higher and higher, and gradually broke away from the water.
More than one, every suspension bridge was pulled up at this time!
Although there are still many soldiers on the opposite side who have not yet crossed the river, at this time, if the enemy forces attack the suspension bridge and the suspension bridge is in their hands, then the subsequent battle to defend the city will be much more difficult!
When the Wengcheng soldiers who were running saw the suspension bridge being lifted out of the water, their eyes completely lost their luster.
There were still roars coming from behind.
"Kill! Don't even think about escaping!"
Those were the roars of a soldier named Weijun and the soldiers trapped in the camp who had just come out of Wengcheng.
They were fully armed and held weapons in their hands, like ferocious beasts running out of a cage, fiercely moving forward to kill one soldier after another.
A group of Weiwei soldiers holding light crossbows were loading arrows quickly!
The short crossbow arrow is placed in the arrow trough above the crossbow arm. The arrow is placed on the string between the two teeth. Aim at the target through the mountain and pull the hanging knife backwards to retract the teeth.
Then——
With a "whistle" sound, the crossbow arrow was shot out as the string rebounded.
One after another, short but sharp crossbow arrows flew rapidly through the slightly dim sky and the smoke of beacon fires.
Clusters of silver-white arrows shot into the backs, necks, hands and feet of the Wengcheng soldiers, or passed through their ears.
The body was shot by a crossbow arrow, the skin and flesh burst open, the flesh and blood turned over, and a large amount of warm blood splashed out, exuding a white heat.
The Wei Army soldiers were chasing after them, and the broadsword used for close combat also came in handy. The curved blade was swung diagonally, and with one strike, it was a human head!
Countless blood spurted out from the flat neck, and it fell to the ground with a "bang". Stepping on the corpse, everyone rushed forward again.
——
On the tower in the outer city, seeing the battlefield ahead, the guard couldn't sit still.
He gritted his teeth and waved his hand:
"Set up the crossbow and aim it at the suspension bridge. If they charge forward again, shoot! Shoot out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers prepared their arrows in silence and aimed at the river.
At this time, Li Hai was climbing up the tower and saw them aiming forward. He turned pale and looked at the guard with a trembling voice:
"We still have people there."
The guard glanced at him and shouted coldly: "Anyang County cannot tolerate any mistakes!"
"Wengcheng has been lost, and no one can be allowed to cross the river!"
"If they attack, we will fight to the bitter end!"
After saying these two sentences, Li Hai opened his mouth and looked at the battlefield on the other side of the suspension bridge absentmindedly. His hands were pinched together helplessly. The strong wind was blowing, and he felt cold all over.
Then, his teeth couldn't help but tremble, and even his legs began to shake slightly.
——
After a while, when the battle came to an end, the war equipment in the urn city was brought towards the moat.
The war horses pulled the heavy trench bridge and approached the suspension bridge.
Gao Shun led the soldiers trapped in the camp and shouted:
"Quick! Cross the bridge quickly and attack Anyang County!"
Amidst loud shouts, the soldiers trapped in the camp replaced the Beiwei army. This time they were the vanguard to break through the Anyang County tower!
Several war machines rolled over the ground, and the ground rumbled. The waves in the wide moat were turbulent at the moment, and the cold river water was like a chasm, blocking the two places!
On the tower in the outer city, the guard's face changed when he saw the trench bridge opposite, and he immediately shouted:
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"Don't worry so much, just cum for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crossbow arrows that had been set up on the crossbow on the bed were shot out in unison!
At this moment, these crossbow arrows are shooting towards the opposite side without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy!
On the opposite side of the moat, the troops moved forward with the escort of the entrapped soldiers, while the trench bridges had been dragged for a certain distance by the war horses.
Facing these incoming arrows, they still moved forward without fear of death!
At the same time, Bei Weijun set up a crossbow on the ground and shot at the opposite city wall!
The moat is relatively close to the outer city wall. If it weren't for the long range of Qin Ze's bed crossbow, it would be difficult to hit the opposite city wall.
But no matter what, the crossbows on the outer city tower are still shooting at them. Unlike the watchtower, the outer city tower's city defense is even tighter. After all, if the outer city tower is broken, it means that they have entered Anyang County!
At this moment, the sky was filled with arrows from both sides!
Densely packed bows and arrows were scattered all over the battlefield. The remaining Wengcheng soldiers had already been shot to death by random arrows due to lack of shelter. Some soldiers even chose to throw themselves into the river out of fear.
The soldiers trapped in the camp charged forward despite the rain of arrows.
Although this process was extremely difficult, and even with an escort vehicle it was difficult to protect everyone, they were still moving forward.
The journey to the moat was not too long, but I don’t know how many people died along the way.
If it were on a vast plain, there would never be such casualties, but this was a siege, and the attackers would have to pay a huge price!
In fact, in a normal siege battle, the attacker often needs several times as many soldiers as the defender to invade. However, Qin Ze's siege this time benefited from these siege weapons and his subordinates. A group of soldiers, forcibly fighting to create a huge advantage!
In comparison, this is already very little loss.
The range of the Zhan Tie is shorter than that of the bed crossbow, and it is also being dragged forward in the face of the rain of arrows!
There are not many boulders left on the wooden cart. Only by crossing the moat and projecting the boulders on the tower can it have the greatest impact!
"Sususu!"
Thick arrows were still flying back and forth, flesh and blood could be seen everywhere, and the ground was almost completely stained red with blood.
There are soldiers from Wengcheng, as well as the corpses of soldiers trapped in the camp and carrying Wei army.
The corpse has rested and returned to peace, but the living person is still raising his angry face and letting out a deafening roar:
"Rush over!"
"Build a bridge to cross the river! Attack Anyang County!"
On the outer tower of the city, the guard saw that the trench bridge was getting closer and closer to the river, and his face became more ferocious. His face was filled with anger as his blood surged up. He roared:
"Shoot! Shoot them!"
On the city tower, iron feather arrows were constantly shot from the opposite side. There were corpses everywhere on the city tower, and even some beds were shot through with crossbows!
But even so, these defenders are still firing crossbows!
At this moment, no matter which side it is, they are rapidly consuming their troops!
Around this moat, the battle between life and death becomes increasingly cruel.
A loud "bang" sound came!
It's Haoqiao!
Gao Shun led a team of people to build a trench bridge on the river!
“Keep building bridges!!”
"The rest of the people, follow me and rush over, climb the tower! Kill them!"
Naturally, a trench bridge cannot accommodate so many people, so it is necessary to continue to build a trench bridge. And on this trench bridge that has been built, Gao Shun has already rushed up with the people trapped in the camp!
What they have to do is to fight on the city tower before crossing the bridge and breaching the city gate!
A group of soldiers, led by Gao Shun, rushed onto the trench bridge. Under the trench bridge, there was the cold river water ten or twenty meters deep!
There are already many corpses floating in the river, and even the water surface is slightly red. This is caused by the people who died when building the bridge earlier.
A strong wind swept by, Gao Shun's beard and hair were messy, countless arrows flew over his head, and there was a lot of blood on his face.
Most of the soldiers trapped in the camp around them were like this. Although this battle had consumed a lot of their physical strength, facing the tower in front, at this moment, inexhaustible strength seemed to pour out of their bodies.
The horses were neighing and the soldiers were roaring furiously.
There were swords, spears, and halberds like a forest, and beacon fire and wolf smoke turned into frost. At this moment, everyone's blood seemed to be boiling.
Gao Shun looked back and looked at the thousands of troops behind him. Those were his comrades!
Looking back to the front, the enemy on the tower was still shooting arrows and killing his soldiers! His comrades!
There are already many trampling arrows densely planted on the city wall.
At this moment, Gao Shun's footsteps did not stop.
Not only him, but the soldiers who were trapped in the camp who first crossed the moat with him did not stop!
Although their numbers were now much smaller, everyone was rushing forward.
The city tower was not far away from them, very close! That was in exchange for countless lives!
But no one will back down.
Falling into camp——
The momentum of charging means advancing but not retreating; the ambition of being trapped means death but not life!
If you are afraid and timid, how can you be called this name!
Gao Shun clenched the wind-breaking gun in his hand, but his blood-stained face had a determined look in his eyes. He stared at the top of the tower and let out a majestic roar:
"Stand up, shoot arrows, and follow me to climb the tower!"
"Come on, brothers!"
"Go up to the tower!"
Gao Shun jumped up and stepped on the arrow shaft...
