Chapter 25 Thoughts
In the surging crowd, the servants with the lowest status rushed to the front.
Some of them carried long ladders, some pushed wooden carts to protect their heads, and some held simple homemade wooden guns in their hands, which were wooden sticks with the sharp end.
Fortunately, due to the fighting in the past few days, the moat was already filled with corpses and sacks containing soil.
So today the servants don’t have to carry the heavy sacks and can walk quickly through the long trench.
However, they were greeted by a volley of bows and arrows from the wall.
With a boom boom boom sound like playing cotton.
The sky turned black, and countless long arrows fell from the sky. A piece of grass seemed to grow on the ground instantly. Many slaves fell to the ground and died. Blood flowed from their bodies, watering the surrounding plants and even their own bodies. Weeds”.
The charging posture of the servants faltered slightly.
With the urging of the horn behind them, they braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward.
There were long ladders built up, and wooden carts pushed down to the city.
Many slaves climbed up the long ladder with simple spears and rushed up. They were stabbed with guns by the officers and soldiers hiding behind the female wall. They screamed and fell down, and died at the foot of the long ladder.
There were also many homeless warriors mixed in with the support team. They suddenly rushed up the long ladder and hacked and slashed, but they could only create a short commotion. In the end, they were surrounded and killed by the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and they were never able to climb the city. .
There are also many slaves hiding under wooden carts using tools to dig bricks. According to the rules of the refugee army, whoever can bring back a brick will be exempted from rushing into the formation today!
As a result, a barrel of kerosene was poured on the city wall, and then the torch fell down, brushing the wooden cart and burning it. Even the servants hiding inside were burned to ashes.
This kind of thing happened anywhere on the four walls.
On the battlefield, horns sounded one after another, and the attack and defense immediately became more intense.
However, for the superiors, purgatory-like scenes are just daily life, and on this battlefield, they are just a prelude.
The banner of Chuang Po Tian stands just a stone's throw outside the city wall.
The second-generation King Chuang was riding a horse, patrolling the battlefield under the protection of his personal guards. From time to time he raised his whip to point at the city wall, and occasionally issued orders, which were conveyed to the front of the battle line by fast horses.
He is a long-bearded, broad-faced man with thick eyebrows and round eyes. He is not angry and has a strong sense of authority. He is wearing a set of fine iron armor and looks full of ambition at the moment.
Lao Chuang has a great reputation, not only because of his high kung fu and righteousness, but also because he was the first among many thieves to break into the county town and win the title.
If he can capture the city now, who will remember that dead ghost Lao Chuang?
From now on, there will only be one Chuang Potian, and that is him, King Chuang!
And he will undoubtedly gather more people to do amazing things...
Thinking of this, he turned to ask his nephew Qin Tongtong, the commander of the guard post.
"Commander Qin, how are the progress of the other city walls and the leaders?"
This time Chuang Potian took the lead in gathering the crowd, and three groups of big forces came, such as Lady Cao, Shooting Down the Sky , Mang King Kong, and other small forces ranging from dozens to dozens.
Chuang Potian called people here and wanted to imitate Lao Chuang and command the heroes, but they were not convinced.
Especially the bad guy She Taotian, he feels that everyone has the same cavalry, even their nicknames are similar. You break through the sky, I shoot Taotian, why do you win?
Several kings gathered together and had an earth-shaking quarrel.
Finally, Mrs. Cao and Xini said that everyone was a traitor and wanted to catch the enemy, so they should not just use words. Whoever broke through the city gate first would be the leader of the alliance in the future.
For this reason, Chuang Potian did not hesitate to send half of his niece Pan Furong's men to the battlefield, because he was determined to take the lead.
Qin Tong saw Chuang Potian asking questions and hurriedly bowed down to reply.
He knew that his uncle was very strict with his rules after he became the king, and he never called him nephew in front of outsiders to show his impartiality.
"Reporting to King Chuang, the sentinel sent out has already responded. The other three families attacked the other three walls of the city as agreed. The fighting was fierce, no less than ours."
"We have not found any weak points in the city wall yet. It seems that the dog officer The troops were scattered on the four walls."
Chuang Potian sneered again and again.
"Okay! As long as everyone is risking their lives to fight, I don't believe that the dog officer can have so many soldiers!"
He looked around. Now he is accompanied by his own bodyguards, a total of two hundred men and horses, commanded by his nephew Qin Tong. They are all good men who can fight both on and off the horse. This is the hard work he has accumulated over the years.
With these two hundred men and horses, Chuang Potian is not afraid of any defeat. As long as the people are still there, he can pull up the pole again, and Chuang Potian will still be resounding!
There are also two sentinel cavalry, which are slightly less powerful and have insufficient armor. They are not many in number. They total about 300 people and are led by his trusted brother.
In addition, there are seven or eight sentry infantry. Each sentry has about two to three hundred people. They are all men who dare to fight with swords. They are recharging their strength now and will use it later to actually attack the city. them.
"Oh, by the way, there are still half a sentry team... If Lao Du is still there, this sentry team should be the strongest." Chuang Potian turned around with a complicated expression.
Sure enough, I found a large banner with the character "Pan" in my array.
Under the banner.
"Good niece" Pan Furong rode a big horse, surrounded by a circle of women's soldiers, and occasionally a few male soldiers, either with gray beards or green complexions.
There is a circle of infantry on the outside, half of them wearing armor and carrying weapons, barely a hundred or so people, and there should be a lot of strong men inside to supplement the number.
This niece was not close to him. In the past, when Old Seventeen was around, his team was elite and they formed another faction in the army. Fortunately, Old Seventeen died in the battle.
This time going into battle is also a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken.
But judging from the posture of this niece, she probably won’t risk her life to join the war.
Hmph, good niece, without Qin Tong, do you think there will be no one else to covet you? The other leaders of the refugee army have asked roundabout times many times.
If you don’t want to be my Qin family’s wife, you might as well marry this troublemaker away...
Countless thoughts flashed through Chuang Potian’s mind, then he turned around and stopped thinking about it, focusing on the battlefield situation. .
Another hour of fierce fighting passed.
Chuang Potian watched the resistance on the city wall gradually decline. He suddenly waved his riding whip and ordered his infantry to join the battlefield.
Soon, several infantry sentries were sent up in turn.
The sound of fighting suddenly became fierce on the battlefield, and fierce shouts were also heard from several other city walls. It must be that several other leaders also sent their infantry.
Pan Zi’s banner.
Lu Ye stood up and stretched his arms and legs. He had been holding his neck since he came out in the morning and now his body is numb.
At this moment, he was larger than before, with a flying saucer hat on his head and an inconspicuous gray coat on his body.
"Brother, why do you seem to have grown taller?" Wang Hu came over and asked.
Lu Ye chuckled and pulled open the collar to let him see. What he saw inside was a well-made half-length armor.
He whispered.
"I have done meritorious deeds, and the lady will reward me."
Maybe Pan Furong was afraid that his life would be lost on the city walls. Although she refused to give him the evil skills yesterday, she asked Sister Hong to give him a pair of iron armor in the evening. and weapons, which are said to have been used by "Seventeenth Uncle" Commander Du.
However, Lu Ye considered that today was just an attack on the city, so he did not wear full armor. In order to facilitate running, he only wore half of the armor and also wrapped it in cloth to avoid being treated as an important person on the battlefield. fire.
Wang Hu showed an envious expression.
“Brother, when can I also have a pair of iron armor?”
Miss, there has always been a lack of armor supplies, and he only has a set of iron foam armor so far.
Lu Ye patted his chest.
"Brother, you can't forget your roots."
"We are thieves now!"
"I want iron armor," he pointed at the city, his voice suddenly became deeper , his eyes were extremely sharp, "Of course I stole it!"
