Arrows rained down from above the city, and each sharp arrow always brought up a bloody flower.
Screams and shouts of death, accompanied by the sound of war drums, echoed throughout the battlefield.
The Qi army under the city rushed towards the city wall under the constant rain of arrows. Every time they took a step forward, dozens or hundreds of people were covered with arrow feathers and fell to the snow, dyeing the white snow scarlet with blood.
Everyone, at this moment, becomes a ruthless war machine, forgetting fear and pain, and entering a state beyond life and death.
Although the Tang army led by Qin Yu was small in number, its victory was that it had a large number of arrows to support it. As long as its arms did not stop, the arrows fired from the top of the city would not stop.
"Who said that the armory at the south gate of Tunliu was burned down? Why did the Tang army still have so many arrows!"
The generals next to Jiang Wu lowered their heads, and no one could answer the furious Jiang Wu.
In just one or two sticks of incense, Jiang Wu had already lost nearly a thousand men and horses, but he had not even touched the city wall.
"General, do you want to continue to attack the city? The casualties are too great!" a general next to him asked cautiously.
Jiang Wu looked at the battlefield with a livid face. He originally wanted to take advantage of the number of people and rush to set up a ladder under the city wall. However, he only advanced a few hundred steps after paying a huge price.
Compared with the past, Qi Jun's charge this time had a lot of mistakes.
Because the soldiers were too full, after launching the charge, they all stopped breathing, and the speed of the charge was greatly affected.
"Continue to attack the city! We must capture this city today! Anyone who retreats will be killed!" Jiang Wu gritted his teeth and gave the order to continue the attack.
Amidst the sound of war drums, the Qi army continued to charge towards the city wall one after another.
On the city wall, Qin Yu felt numb all over. He would shoot arrows wherever there were people, without even aiming.
Qin Yu didn't know how many arrows he had shot, nor how many people died under his arrows.
Qin Yu only knew that if he could not stop the enemy, he would die.
However, even if they tried their best, they could not stop the enemy's continuous charge due to their numerical superiority.
The enemy army still approached the city wall and set up a siege ladder full of arrows on the top of the city.
"Centurion! I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand this situation any longer!" Lao Huang shot an arrow while looking at Qin Yu.
"You have to hold on even if you can't!" After Qin Yu just finished speaking, he subconsciously squatted down until the arrow flew off his helmet.
Qin Yu was startled and broke into a cold sweat. If he only took one step slower, he would return to his hometown.
Qin Yu looked into the distance and saw that the enemy's archers had reached the position where they could shoot at the top of the city and began to counterattack them.
"It will take some time for the enemy to climb up! Kill all the enemy archers quickly!"
Qin Yu knew how great the threat the archers posed to them, so he ordered his bows and arrows to be pointed at the Qi army's arrow array.
"Bang!"
As the bowstrings of both sides emitted a burst of explosions at the same time, the dark rain of arrows met in the sky, and it was so spectacular that it suddenly blocked the sky and blocked the sun.
"Hide the arrow!" Qin Yu yelled and lay down in the corner, pressing his body tightly against the wall.
"Pa bang bang..."
In just an instant, the city wall was filled with arrows. Several soldiers were shot into arrows if they took a step too late.
The Qi army's arrow array was not much better. Since it could not block the armor-piercing arrows, it already suffered heavy losses in one round of arrow rain.
"Get up! Kill all the other side's archers!" Regardless of the brothers who died in the battle and the injured brothers who were screaming, everyone stood up and fired another round of arrows.
Because the Qi army's arrow formation was in disarray, they did not fire the second round of arrows at the first time, so they completely lost the chance to counterattack amid the screams.
A few rounds of arrow rain from the Tang army defeated Jiang Wu's archers, which made Jiang Wu extremely crazy.
However, Jiang Wu's face improved slightly when he saw the soldiers on the siege ladder about to climb the city wall.
"Send the order! The entire army is pressing forward! Take Tunliu City for me!"
"promise!"
Following Jiang Wu's order, all Qi's troops pressed forward and were about to capture Tunliu City.
"Centurion! All the Qi troops are coming!" Lao Huang shouted.
"Damn it! Hold it! If you can't hold it, everyone will die!" Qin Yu raised his arrow and inserted it into the face of the enemy who was about to climb the city wall. The blood spattered Qin Yu's body. Face.
Qin Yu picked up his bow and arrow and shot directly at the enemies on the ladder. He must not let an enemy climb onto the city wall.
However, as the enemy troops continued to attack, some enemies finally climbed onto the city tower and started fighting with the people on the city wall.
When Qin Yu saw an enemy soldier coming to kill him, he smashed his bow on the enemy soldier, and the enemy soldier screamed and fell off the city wall.
Although Qin Yu is only the soul of a college student, at the critical moment of life and death, he can act fiercely and be more brave than ordinary soldiers.
Qin Yu held a bronze sword and slashed left and right. His armor was dyed red with blood. Under his feet lay the corpses of Qi Jun.
As more and more enemy troops swarmed the city, Qin Yu also fell into a bitter battle. If it weren't for the armor, Qin Yu would have lost his arm.
"Bang!"
Qin Yu only felt someone kick him on his back, and then he fell to the ground.
When Qin Yu turned over, a strong Qi soldier struck at him with a sword.
"when!"
Qin Yu barely blocked the sword, but the opponent's sword was only half an inch away from him.
Just when Qin Yu felt like he couldn't hold on anymore, dozens of wounded soldiers wrapped in gauze climbed onto the city wall under the leadership of Tie Mian.
Tie Mian kicked the man away, then swung his sword and cut off the man's head. Blood sprayed on Qin Yu's face.
"Push the enemy down!" Tie Mian pierced an enemy who was about to climb the tower with his sword, then turned around and pulled Qin Yu up.
"Why are you here?" Qin Yu asked breathlessly.
Tie Mian wore a mask, revealing only a pair of ruthless eyes.
"The battle at the South Gate is urgent. Those of us who can still fight, how can we cower in the back?"
After Tiemian finished speaking, he charged towards the enemy on top of the city with his sword in hand.
Qin Yu wiped the blood stains on his face and said, "How can I still lose to her? Kill!"
Qin Yu ran up and chopped down the enemy who wanted to attack Iron Face with one sword. He pulled out an arrow, turned around and stabbed an enemy who had just emerged with an arrow to blind him.
"Brothers! Push all the enemy troops down! Guard the south gate!"
Although there were only a few dozen wounded soldiers who came for reinforcements, they greatly boosted the morale of the army. The Qi army that attacked the city was quickly cleared out.
A group of soldiers picked up their bows and arrows again and wildly poured arrows at the enemy to prevent them from scaling the city wall again.
Under the city, Jiang Wu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
We had already climbed onto the city wall just now, but we were forced down.
What was even more difficult for Jiang Wu to accept was the huge casualties. Nearly half of the 5,000 men and horses in his hands had been lost.
"General, withdraw your troops. If we continue to attack like this, even if Tunliu is captured, there will not be many of the 5,000 men left." A general hurriedly advised.
"Yes, General, our army currently lacks siege equipment. Let's attack the city when we have enough siege equipment!" Another general was also very anxious. These five thousand men and horses were his pet peeves!
Jiang Wu pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and issued the order.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
