Arrows fell on the crowd like a downpour, and the sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard. Screams came and went, echoing in the air. Many soldiers fell to the ground, but more Parthian soldiers were still charging forward.
As the prince of Parthia, Artabanus still rushed to the front despite his noble status.
This is his nature.
He is accustomed to leading by example.
Artabanus was very fast and quickly reached the foot of the tower with his sword in hand. At this moment, the Parthian soldiers who were running in front carrying the ladders had stopped at the bottom of the city tower and put up the ladders on the city wall.
A large number of soldiers began to climb along the ladder, preparing to use the ladder to enter the city.
There were no skilled craftsmen in Parthia, and no one made weapons such as ladder trucks, not even sophisticated catapults. The method of siege was more primitive and relied more on brute force.
Artabanus was very good at climbing. With his sword in his mouth and his hands like ape arms, he kept climbing up.
In a short time, Artaban rushed to the top of the ladder, preparing to climb into the city. At this moment, a guarding Ming army soldier poked his head out and stabbed him with a big spear. Artaban looked calm, without any fear. He held the ladder steady with his left hand, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and swung the sword with one move. out.
Click! !
The blade of the sword cut off the shaft of the spear.
Artaban swung his sword again and killed the soldiers who stuck their heads out. He took two steps up and reached the top of the ladder. He pressed the city wall with one hand and exerted force under his feet. He jumped up and entered the tower.
"Kill, kill with me!"
Artabanus shouted loudly.
In Parthia, Artabanus was strong and naturally possessed of divine power, so he was at the forefront of every battle. Just so, Artaban has rich combat experience, and because of his repeated killings, Artaban has a high prestige.
Artaban kept swinging his sword, killing the soldiers guarding the ladder one after another. Under the cover of Artabanus, Parthian soldiers rushed forward one after another.
A gap suddenly appeared on the tower.
Ma Chao was sitting on the city tower, and the surroundings were firmly guarded, but he found a large number of Parthian soldiers rushing up from the left direction. He asked Kuai Rui to command the defense, and carried the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear to kill them directly. The spears were swept out one after another, and the bangs and bangs were heard constantly, and the Parthian soldiers who rushed up were killed one after another.
Artaban noticed Ma Chao and saw his men being killed one after another. His murderous intent boiled over and he rushed over with his sword in hand.
He stepped out, jumped up, and slashed with his sword.
A sword as fast as lightning.
The distance was shortened, making it impossible for Ma Chao to adjust his spear.
Ma Chao is now at the peak of his martial arts, with rich experience, sophisticated eyesight, and quick reactions. As soon as he found out that he was in a disadvantageous position, Ma Chao took a step back, avoiding the slashing sword, and counterattacked instantly with the tiger-headed golden spear.
The skill and timing of this shot were very exquisite, precisely at the moment when Aldaban landed.
When Artaban first landed, he was not strong enough to block with his sword. His old strength dissipated and new strength was not born. When he saw a spear coming, he couldn't dodge it in a hurry, so he could only fall backwards and fell to the ground.
Ma Chao's spear was like a stick, and he smashed it down instantly.
boom! !
The barrel of the gun fell to the ground. Aldaban rolled twice, dodged Ma Chao's shot, stood up, and raised his sword again to kill Ma Chao.
The tiger-headed golden gun in Ma Chao's hand poked out again.
The spear retracted and stabbed, like a poisonous snake coming out, and it stabbed Artaban just as he was approaching. Artabanus couldn't avoid it, so he could only block it with his sword. Even so, Artaban's slashing sword was still one step too slow.
Phew!
The sharp tip of the spear penetrated into Aldaban's shoulder, and with a flick of the spear tip, the violent impact caused Aldaban's shoulder to bleed and his body to retreat uncontrollably.
Ma Chao kept moving forward with the gun. When the gun barrel could not move forward, Ma Chao drew out the gun and brought out a canopy of blood.
ah! !
A shrill scream came from Artaban's mouth.
Artaban looked ferocious, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Death, I want you to die!"
He endured the pain and swung his sword.
Ma Chao refused to dodge, and swiped his spear, hitting the sword blade. Under the impact of the fierce and domineering Peiran's power, the wound on Artaban's shoulder was affected, causing the hand holding his sword to lose strength.
At this moment, Ma Chao was keenly aware of the opportunity. He pushed the spear forward with greater strength, swinging away Aldaban's sword. The spear spun in the air and struck out diagonally.
Snapped!
The lance struck Artaban on the shoulder.
Artaban screamed miserably, and his figure was even more stunned.
Ma Chao was eager to kill, his spear shot out like a dragon, as fast as a shooting star, a bit of cold light bloomed, and the tip of the spear came in front of Artaban in an instant. The shot came so fast that Artabanus could not avoid it, nor could he block it with his sword.
Phew!
The sharp spear point pierced his chest and armor.
Shot into the chest.
Artaban's heart was pierced, his eyes protruded, and his face was full of pain and even more ferocious. Blood was bleeding from his mouth, and the hand holding the sword tried to exert force several times, but could not find the strength.
puff!
The spear was drawn out and blood spurted out.
Artabanus screamed and fell to the ground with his head thrown back.
After Ma Chao killed Artaban, he knew that the opponent must be a big fish. However, he did not have time to investigate. The key now was to defeat the invading enemy and drive off everyone who killed him on the tower.
Ma Chao kept wielding the tiger-headed golden gun to kill the Parthian soldiers who climbed up the tower.
In a short period of time, the gap breached by the Parthian soldiers was blocked, and Ma Chao returned to his seat and continued to direct the war.
Ma Chao achieved a temporary victory, and the corner of Gushanbeier City that was broken through was also held, which is good news for Ma Chao. However, the news of Artaban's murder spread, and many people shouted that His Highness Prince Artaban had been killed.
The news spread step by step and quickly reached the ears of Vorogasis V.
When King Vorogasis V heard the news, his body trembled.
The whole person was stunned, and the look on his face was extremely horrified. He was able to conquer many territories over the years, resist the attacks of the Roman Empire, and even counterattack the Roman Empire. Artabanus has made great achievements.
Now he is dead.
He actually died in the siege.
Vologasis V clenched his fists and looked at Ma Chao on Gushanbeier City with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Vorogis stood aside with an untroubled expression. As the eldest prince of the Parthian Empire and the number one heir, he often felt threatened by Artaban. Now, Artaban died suddenly. He felt a little disappointed for a while, but deep down he was even more excited.
Artabanus was dead, he was the worthy heir, and no one could compete with him for the position of heir.
Vologis said: "Father, Artaban is dead, and we must take revenge. My son suggested that more people be dispatched to attack, and the city of Gushanbel must be captured. Let the entire city fight for Ardaban. Ben was buried with him."
