Of course, the Wubao under Yang Ning's feet is not a strong city in Qingzhou, and the comrades beside him are not warriors who have fought in every battle.
Seeing that 800 enemy troops were about to rush to the attack range, and the young men became increasingly restless, Yang Ning drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted loudly: "Drive out the Hulu and defend your hometown!"
Yang Kui led more than 100 private soldiers and nearly 500 young men, and responded in unison: "When an ordinary man is angry, blood will splash five steps!"
After three rounds of roaring, the morale of the city rose again. The people who had just been shocked by the enemy's charge clenched their weapons again and stabilized their minds.
The private soldiers of the Huang family led the young men to the front of the city, preparing to erect a long ladder. The three or four hundred horsemen who followed behind them reined in their horses, drew their bows and arrows, and aimed at the city head.
Before the arrow left the string, Yang Ning shouted: "Raise your shield!"
Wooden shields were quickly raised from the hands of the private soldiers and young men, just like they had trained countless times in the past few days, to closely protect themselves and a companion beside them.
The sound of whizzing through the air immediately sounded, and three to four hundred sharp arrows aimed at the guards at the top of the city flew into the air from the group of Hu cavalry, like bolts of lightning, piercing the air in an instant!
Arrows were inserted heavily into the wooden shields one after another, making a dull and loud impact, one after another, like firecrackers set off during the New Year.
These Hu Qi were indeed veterans, and all of them had good shooting skills. In addition, the distance was quite close, and the power of their arrows was unusual. The impact made many young and strong arms tremble, and their wooden shields moved back.
But that's it, a volley came down, and no one on the city was hit!
"Throwing rocks and rolling logs!"
Seeing the private soldiers of the Huang family climbing up the stairs under the cover of Hu Qi, and the young men gathering in large numbers in front of the city, Yang Ning issued a second order.
"Smash them hard and send them to see the King of Hell!" Yang Kui raised a hundred-jin stone and threw it down at a brave private soldier on the ladder in front of him!
Under the leadership of the private soldiers of the Yang family, a group of young men with red faces and trembling hands due to instinctive nervousness and inexplicable excitement, lifted up the stones and wood piled nearby, using the wooden shields of their companions to cover them. , gritted his teeth and threw them down the city one after another.
Rounds of arrows continued to fly from the front of the city, hitting the wooden shield close at hand. It was as powerful as a violent storm, and it was chilling!
If they are not careful, they may be shot into a body that lacks armor protection, and may suffer severe injuries or even die.
The five hundred young men were impressive just now, but after all, they had never experienced a bloody battle. At this moment, everyone was not afraid, and more than one or two of them were trembling in their legs.
Some people picked up the stone but accidentally dropped it, almost hitting their feet. The wood in someone's hand rolled down from their arms before it could reach the parapet.
Most of them are panicked, short of breath, in a hurry, and their minds are blank. These men who can usually carry one to two hundred kilograms of weight can now not even lift objects weighing dozens of kilograms.
But the training over the past few days was working. Although the young men were panicking, they all knew what they should do. Most of them completed the first throwing of rocks and logs.
There are also many people who accurately hit the target on the long ladder!
Suddenly, hundreds of stones and logs fell from the top of the city like dumplings, with the force of an avalanche, the force of a mountain torrent, and the power to destroy everything!
The private soldier of the Huang family on the long ladder was hit in the head, his head was broken and bleeding, and he screamed and fell from the long ladder, causing everyone around him to flee in shock.
A young man who gathered in front of the city wall was hit by a piece of wood and fell to the ground immediately. Before he could make any sound, his sternum was smashed by the stone that followed. He vomited blood and died!
After the first round of throwing and smashing, many young people were refreshed when they saw the results of their battle. It turned out that the battle was not complicated and advanced, and they hurriedly carried new heavy objects.
Round after round, they only focused on the movements of their hands, gradually forgetting their fear and nervousness. Even though they were exhausted and sweating profusely, and even though their hands were scratched by wood and stones, they still moved quickly!
Puff puff......
The sharp arrows that kept flying finally achieved results.
When the private soldiers and young men were completely forgetful, holding up wood and stones and throwing them towards the city, due to the excessive range of movements, most of their bodies were inevitably exposed, so that they were beyond the protection range of the wooden shield. Some of them had their skin scratched by stray arrows, and some of them were injured. was shot in the chest by a sharp arrow!
Screams, wails, and exclamations sounded one after another.
...
Cheng Feng looked two steps away. An arrow pierced his throat. He fell to the ground kicking and kicking, his mouth bleeding and whimpering. His hands and feet were as cold as falling into an ice cave, and he stood there for a while.
His mind, which had just been stunned by the hot blood, suddenly woke up. He only remembered the huge impact on his mind when he lifted a rock and threw it away. Cheng Feng felt a chill rising from his back and couldn't help but shudder.
"This is not a drill, this is a war. People will die, and I will die too..."
Cheng Feng stared blankly at his cousin with a face full of pain, feeling that the sky was falling. He was not in the human world, but in a hell of blood and fire!
In an instant, his fighting spirit disappeared, and his heart seemed to pop out of his throat!
Instinctively, he wanted to escape, escape from the city with arrows like locusts, escape from the dangerous battlefield, and go to the safety of Wubao, where the barbarians could not see him.
"Carry it down!"
Before Cheng Feng could run away, a calm and cold voice rang in his ears. He turned around and saw the resolute face of the fourth son of the Yang family.
Two members of the "rescue team" bent down and ran to Cheng Feng, quickly dragging away his cousin's body and another injured person next to him.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Waiting to die?"
Cheng Feng was filled with sadness when Young Master Yang came up to him and roared at him sternly, "At the moment of battle, anyone who retreats will be killed!
"If you don't want your family to be slaughtered, just keep fighting!"
Hearing this, Cheng Feng immediately became excited.
He thought of the whippings he had received during training in the past few days, the private soldiers often promoted Young Master Yang's record of killing dozens of Hu cavalry, and the scene where the other party killed and beheaded Young Master Huang in front of them!
He was afraid of the arrows of the barbarians, but he was even more afraid of the murderous Young Master Yang in front of him!
Cheng Feng didn't dare to face Young Master Yang's tiger-like gaze, and he didn't even dare to disobey the other man's majesty, which was as deep as the abyss!
Instinctively, he obeyed the other party's command and immediately turned around to lift a new stone.
Yang Ning walked past Cheng Feng, striding back and forth around the city. The roaring voice fell on the ears of the young men, and the sound of the arrow piercing the air was even more heart-stopping:
"I've said it before, you are now warriors, warriors who can only protect your loved ones by defeating your enemies!
"When soldiers go to the battlefield, they must abide by military laws. Anyone who retreats or is timid will be killed by me without mercy!
"You are protected by city walls and you are condescending. If you are afraid, then the people outside are more afraid than you. They are carrying two shoulders and one head. They are no better than you!
"Forget the fear in your heart, concentrate on carrying rocks and wood, and use them to smash the heads of those jackals. When they are all turned into corpses, no one will be able to threaten you in the slightest!
"Shield bearer, protect your comrades around you! Remember my military law. If your comrades are shot by sharp arrows because of your poor protection, you are all guilty!
"Expel the Huru and defend your hometown, you are all heroes!"
As casualties continued to appear at the top of the city, looking at the wailing villagers lying in a pool of blood, Cheng Feng was as frightened as there were more than one young man who wanted to leave the battlefield.
But after Yang Ning walked past them and heard Yang Ning's shouts, they all remembered Yang Ning's majesty and the significance of this battle. No one dared to retreat, and no one was willing to retreat anymore!
