Volume 4: Storm and Rain in Jiangnan Chapter 53: Fighting in Xiangyang (I)

A night without stars or moon, more than a dozen feather arrows shot out from the darkness, as if they tore apart the darkness in front of them in an instant

Arrow falls like rain

The soldiers stationed in Xiangyang City screamed and fell down immediately

The sudden violent arrow rain immediately caused the soldiers on duty to fall into chaos. The guards in the area of ​​Dongchengmen where Lin Nan was located, which had just been replaced with the city defense, were particularly densely affected by arrow rain, and almost unprepared. Even half of the guards who were immersed in their dreams just now were immediately brought to the cruel reality by the severe pain that penetrated their bones.

Cold cluster of arrows

Dark red blood

The world of iron and blood, the battlefield of conquest and conquest, finally at this moment, tear apart the sky and the earth, revealing its true face

Thrilling screams and panic rumblings of news, chaotic footsteps, heavy breathing, and the sound of swords being unsheathed. The sound of the feather arrows leaving the strings. The sound of Xiangyang City, which was just a quiet and peaceful state, suddenly became chaotic, messy, cold-blooded, and ruthless.

As the first wind lamp was broken, Lin Nan had already squatted down quickly, leaning against the wall just half a step away. Behind him, a pitch-black feather arrow squirted, penetrated the shoulders of an old man. The old man groaned and was sore that he fell to the ground. The blood immediately flowed down the cluster of arrows. The old man's face turned pale, but he was very tough. He kicked his legs on one hand and hid under the pile of arrows.*

After closing his eyes and gasping for a while, the old man gradually opened his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Nan who was looking at him. He couldn't help but grin, but then he was so sad that he was so unlucky that he was so happy... Hum... Um..." Then, his eyes turned around, and his eyes gradually became a little colder. But compared with them, I was lucky, at least... he was still alive now..."

Lin Nan subconsciously followed the old man's gaze, but saw a corpse lying in a row on the clean road just now. Some of them were not completely dead, and their hands and feet were slightly trembling, but they saw that they could not survive. Dark red blood flowed out of these bodies, and soon soaked the blue-gray bricks.

In the dark night, no one dared to ignite the excess lights. Under such circumstances, the light has no meaning and can only be the target of the enemy. Looking down at the city through the peeping hole on the wall bricks, I saw a dark piece, and it seemed that I couldn't tell where the enemy came from. But as my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, I could see some abnormalities: the peaceful earth in the past seemed to be covered with a layer of skin. In the haze, countless black shadows seemed to be stuck on the ground and squirmed quickly. These black shadows split one by one, and in an instant it seemed that the earth was cut into countless small pieces by a sharp blade, and each piece turned into a soldier with black helmet and black armor, rushing towards the city gate.

The next moment, countless hideous soldiers appeared from the dark side.

Whoosh

The air seemed to be torn apart, and the strong wind and heavy trembling sounded, and the crossbows and bows and arrows on the city walls finally began to exhale their anger.

On the slightly retracted horn platform on the city wall, six crossbows were first and then, and one powerful crossbow was accompanied by a crisp sound of mechanical cladding. Each powerful crossbow was launched by the four men. The strength was several times larger than that of ordinary soldiers. The rebel soldiers who rushed towards the city gate were passed by the clusters of arrows of the crossbows, and almost no pause. The whole body almost flew backwards, like a rock rolling down the foot of the mountain. The sounds and screams of countless soldiers were knocked away along the way. Even the guards far away on the city wall heard extremely real and even more crossbow arrows that continued to spread. A crossbow arrow penetrated three or four armored soldiers and became a real flesh and blood gourd.

Next to the battlements on the city wall, feather arrows began to pour down the city. Compared with the rebels, the city guards who had gained a good location from top to bottom were obviously more powerful and caused more casualties.

However, more and more rebels emerged in the darkness. Through the peeping hole, there were almost a crowd of black people everywhere. The further they went, it seemed to merge with the darkness, making it difficult to tell how many soldiers there were. In comparison, although the guards who reacted in a hurry quickly recovered from panic and chaos and began to fight, the few hundred soldiers on duty were injured at the time of battle. After being attacked by two rounds of arrow rain, nearly half of them were injured. Although they began to fight back in a hurry, the rain of arrows fell in front of the rebels like a black tide was almost pitiful.

Lin Nan bowed slightly, held the fuselage handle, and used his feet to surround the trigger machine of the crossbow car. A crossbow arrow flew out along the arrow's mouth, and immediately brought down a group of rushing rebels. However, soon, before Lin Nan's vision was closed, the crowd of people flew the traces that had just been brought out by the crossbow, as if there was no such arrow at all.

"Cough cough cough" The old man next to him opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, moved his body and looked into the peeping hole, and said, "There are too many bastards... If this continues... we can't see the sun."

Lin Nan turned around and looked left and right after hearing this. Where are the reinforcements? Why aren't they coming yet?

Slap

A huge impact and scratch sound came from the outer wall. Lin Nan's heart jumped and he quickly turned his head through the peeping hole and looked out. After looking, he suddenly felt cold sweat.

Hanging ladder

Three hanging ladders stood up high from the darkness, and the front end was already on the top of the city. The hanging ladder formed a gentle slope. As soon as it was put on, dozens of agile rebel soldiers had quickly climbed under the hanging ladder. Several people in front of the ladder held a round shield that could cover half of their bodies in their hands, climbing quickly while avoiding the feather arrows shot from the city from time to time. At the east gate of Xiangyang City, above the three hanging ladders, in the blink of an eye, the rebels had already climbed to more than half of their eyes. If no one stopped them, the rebels would climb to the top of the city.

A round shield appeared from the leftmost wall of the city wall and suddenly more than ten spears were stabbed at the same time.

Dangdang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

The dense sounds continued, and the guard guard who was guarding the ladder head had already accumulated a blow. Although the rebels behind the shield did not hit the rebels, the huge force hit the shield, and immediately knocked the rebel vanguard away and flew out. No one looked at him again, because they did not let them see a shield being hit. Three and four shields snatched up a guard guard and a little more. The shield was a little bit, and an arm suddenly poked out from the gap. A sharp sword flashed by. The guard guard suddenly flew up with a head, and a bloody blood splashed up, splashing the people around him all over his face.

Pang

A spear pierced in the diagonal, steady and fierce, pierced from the gap in the shield, and then exerted force, and the three and four round shields that rushed to the front were picked up and flew up. Before the rebel soldiers in the air could recover, several spears were poked out, and as blood spurted out, several people fell quickly to the ground.

"The turtle wants to climb the city from me? Looking for death." Li Gan spat hard under the city, and waved the spear in his hand again, and then several rebels fell off the ladder.

Pongpeng

The falling soldiers crashed into the hanging ladder in mid-air, and immediately knocked down more than a dozen crawling rebels. In the air, they kept falling from the hanging ladder, smashing into the crowded crowd on the ground, killing and injuring a piece of them.

Seeing Li Gan so brave, the morale of the soldiers around him was suddenly greatly boosted. The trembling guys were now covered with blood from nowhere. In the time of life and death, either you die or I die once the city is broken, or everyone's eyes are full of blood and sword light. There are hideous faces everywhere. Under the pressure of blood and death, the soldiers who were still a little confused had gradually joined the battle group. One, although the hanging ladder on the left was critical, no one climbed to the top of the city.

Whoosh

Several ropes suddenly swung up from under the hanging ladder in the middle. With a few shrill screams, three guards guarding the city flew up in the air. They were dragged out from the middle of the battlements of the city wall. Several deep blood grooves on the back of their heads and spine were visible. The blood was gushing and the wounds were rolled up to both sides, revealing white flesh stubble.

Flying hook

Without thinking about it, Lin Nan quickly abandoned his waist knife, grabbed a scattered spear beside him, jumped up, appeared on the head of the city wall, and there were two more guards next to him, three men and three spears, once again blocking the void of guards who were dragged down from the city wall by the flying hook.

Almost as soon as Lin Nan filled the space, three round shields had rushed to the sky. In the gap between the shield edge, two steel knives handed a guard next to him unexpectedly. One of the wrists holding the spear was cut to the point of breaking. A scream that soared into the sky was just halfway, and the throat was slashed by the steel knives, and a stream of blood immediately burst out.

Pongpeng

The distance was too close, Lin Nan retreated like lightning, holding the spear pole in his hand and smashed it hard on the wall. In an instant, it was fierce and accurate. The two rebels who had just put on the city wall with their hands had no time to change hands. The fingers that were clamped on the wall were immediately broken and broken. They screamed and fell down. Lin Nan followed them with two steps. The spear moved forward like lightning, stretched out the edge of the wall and stabbed several spears under the hanging ladder with all his strength. Then he quickly retreated, rolled to the side, hid under the low wall.

Whoosh

Just as Lin Nan retreated, several ropes flew up from below again. The sharp hooks of the cross flower swung back quickly and quickly took them back. They immediately hooked the guards near the four hanging ladders. Lin Nan kicked the ground with his legs and quickly abandoned the spear in his hand. He picked up the long sword and deflected in the air. He held the protrusions in the inner corner of the city wall with his left hand, stretched his arm to draw a huge arc with his right hand, and hugged the guards that were dragging down and stretched straight. He suddenly broke the rebels under the hanging ladder with too much force, and fell down. After several collisions, he immediately knocked over many soldiers.

There was almost no interval. Just as Lin Nan cut off the rope of the flying hook, the rebel soldiers climbed up again on the hanging ladder below without any hesitation. Lin Nan once again abandoned his sword and grabbed the spear, turned around and stabbed him.
