Chapter 288 Race against time
"ah"
A figure was howling, constantly falling from the towering city walls, passing a track in the red sunset, and falling heavily on the base of the wall. A series of ladders hung on the walls, soldiers with steel knives in their mouths rushed up one after another, then jumped up and waved their swords and piled up with their flesh and blood. Then, several spears stabbed over, penetrated the body of the Wu Chao soldier, forked him up, and pushed him down the walls.
Whoosh swosh swosh
On the city wall, the archers protected by swords and shield soldiers kept pulling their bows and shooting messy arrows downwards, roaring across the sky and nailing them straight to the ground. Blood was blooming among the group of Wuchao soldiers running on the ground. On the back formation, the cavalry in the Jingdong Army formation dismounted and shot at each other. Some of the arrows passed through the gaps in the shield and nailed them into the neck of the Liao archers behind, and blood was splattered.
"Light the rolling wood and smash them to death!" A female voice rang on the city tower anxiously, directing.
Then, a piece of rolling wood was ignited with tinder oil. While the flames were ignited, the black smoke rose and was pushed down, and then hit the heads of Wu Chao soldiers who could not hide on the ladder. They fell down with the flames, breaking, and blood and fire spread.
At the end of dusk, light and darkness intertwined. Guan Sheng narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at the scene, which seemed very dazzling. His arms swayed, and the mount under his crotch was panting anxiously. Countless people in his eyes were rushing up the ladder, and then the flames fell down with black smoke, and fell to the ground.
"The Liao people are not as good as the Jurchens, but the Wu Dynasty people are not as good as the Liao people? Then what are my Wu Dynasty soldiers?" Guan Sheng gritted his teeth and waved his blade in the air. "I notify the resentful army to make up for the second echelon, so that they must stand up, and in addition, the attacking ram hit me hard on the door."
Hao Siwen looked at the fighting wall, "Brother, I'm afraid we don't have much time left."
“How many more?”
"If you can't take down the inner city wall within about half an hour and enter the palace to capture the Empress Dowager of Liao, otherwise everything will be meaningless."
"Okay! Just bet on this last half hour and ask Xuanzan to block the street corner to me. Brother, you can block the reinforcements that may come from the south gate and hold them down."
Hao Siwen clasped his fists on the horse's back and asked the messenger to send several transfer orders.
In the back formation, Liu Shunren and the other two took the general order and looked up again. The Wuchao soldiers over there killed the city wall and were defeated. They nodded with a serious expression and sent the messenger to Zhang Linghui and Zhen Wuchen behind them, saying, "There is nothing to say. General Guan asked his soldiers to take the lead first. He didn't let us go first, which means that we didn't want to consume the other party first. This is fair. Now it's our turn. Brother is not here. We can't embarrass him. Let the Liao people open their eyes and see. They are blind. The resentful army is not slave soldiers or beggar soldiers."
He pulled out the steel knife from his waist and took steps, "If you have the seeds, just kill with me."
"Kill"
Two thousand resentful troops burst out with huge roars, echoing over the city. The soldiers rushed towards the city wall like waves. Near the charge, six war horses were digging their horses' hooves. With a loud shout from the knight, they supported several simple attacking rams tied up by the beams in the middle, galloped, and the moment they were dripping with the arrows, they hit them hard.
As soon as the horse's hooves stopped, the hammer head hit the two-meter-high city gate without reservation under huge inertia.
The city gate shook violently, shook inward, and dust fell down. "Come again!!" The knight on the horse commanded, letting the remaining five men control the horses to retreat backwards, then accumulating strength to lift the horse's hooves and running over. On the top of the city, a archer looked down and bent his bow and shot. Wow! The moment the arrow penetrated straight into one of the cavalry's necks, the knight grabbed the reins frantically, and the other hand frantically pulled out the arrow directly. The scarlet blood immediately poured over the armor.
"Crash!" the knight roared, his pupils dissipated.
Bang!
The chimney bumped into the horse again, but the city gate swayed but still didn't open. The knight looked pale, covered his neck and shook it slightly twice, and fell off the horse's back with a thud, and never got up again.
On the ladder, the resentful army climbed up and rushed up, and stabbed the spear in his sight.
"Ahhhhh"
Zhang Linghui held the steel knife, his eyes were red, and he jumped up on the body of a companion, and hit the spear that was piercing fiercely. He swung the knife down, and the two spear heads flew up in a broken way. The knife swung horizontally, and blood splattered on the opposite side. He did not stop and continued to rush forward. The blade slammed on someone's stomach, and a bloody smell surged over, which made people vomit.
The soldiers of the resentful army behind him were still rushing up. One, two, and three looked farther away, and the soldiers were spreading towards the entire city wall, fighting wildly.
Xiongzhou.
The carriage drove out of the mountain road and returned to the street of the city. Xifu lay on Bai Ning's legs and fell quietly. The night outside the curtain fell and drizzled. The streets were all hurried because of the sudden rain. The objects in their hands covered their heads. They pulled open their wide sleeves and blocked their heads empty-handedly, and went to the eaves of the street to hide from the rain. The shops also started to build wooden boards and closed.
Taking Xifu out for a trip during the day is actually a way of compensation in Bai Ning's heart, because he will continue to go north soon, and the silly girls and the others will stay in the back. After all, the Jurchens will come over at that time. No one can tell whether they will suddenly fight. If they can't win, they will have more worries with their female relatives.
Now, calculating the time, Guo Yaoshi, Guan Sheng and others have almost arrived in Yanjing. I guess they should fight now, but what he is going north is not Yanjing. It doesn’t matter whether he can take it down. Even if he takes it down, the Jurchens come over and rely on 10,000 or 20,000 people to defend it, it’s all two people that he is going to be another place this time.
His hand gently stroked Xifu's hair, and the silly girl lay on his thigh. If it were this normal man, there would be some reaction below, but he felt empty. Although he did not disturb his thoughts, the feeling of being disappointed in his heart would still affect him from time to time.
Then he raised Xifu's head in the direction of his knees. He diverted his attention and said to Luan Tingyu outside the curtain: "The injuries on Qin Ming's body are fine, right?"
Outside, the response was quickly heard in: "Report to the Supervisor, it's fine. He has gone to Yanmen Pass in just a few days. Although he has some complaints about this arrangement, he probably won't think much about it. He himself knows that if he goes to the battlefield with injuries, he will be giving up his life in vain."
The shaft of the car rolled, and he said a few words from time to time. Then, when he was about to reach the small courtyard road, Bai Ning suddenly stopped talking, his ears trembled slightly as if he had heard something, and he lifted the curtain of the car and nodded at Luan Tingyu.
The next second, Luan Tingyu took off the Baling Mixed Copper Stick tied on his back and led more than a dozen fans to the streets and alleys. Bai Ning's carriage slowly stopped. He changed Xifu's position and walked to the chariot outside with his hands and feet. The thin rain curtain fell on his cheek, and his eyes became sharp at that moment.
Monkey, Luan Tingyu rushed in at that moment with his weapon.
When the weapons were fought, some of them flew backwards.
Chapter completed!
