Volume 4: Storm and Rain in Jiangnan Chapter 58: Fighting in Xiangyang (Sixth)
North City Gate.
With the sound of arrows, many warships on the wide water outside the city immediately advanced together and rushed towards the city. Among the many warships, a huge tower ship was like a powerful man covering the sky, and the bow deck was full of black armored soldiers. At the beginning, three rows of square shields were built to form a huge shield wall, covering the bow and blocking the arrows and flying stones on the city wall.
When he saw this tower ship, Qiu Biao, who was patrolling and resting at the north gate, was immediately shocked. Although the ship had not approached the city wall yet, the indomitable and overwhelming momentum made all the soldiers garrison on the city head feel fear. Looking from afar, the spire of Feiluque Room on the three-story boat was barely caught up with the height of the city wall. Even if people could not get up on the spire, the rebel soldiers standing on the three-story deck no longer needed to use the large hanging ladder. They just needed to build a short and light short ladder and could almost easily jump to the city head.
Pang
As soon as the huge tower ship entered the range, two huge trenchers on the corner of the city launched an attack. The huge flying stone was thrown high, drawing an oblique arc, and hit the group of warships on the water with a roar and landed on the deck of a ship in the middle of the river. The huge impact force immediately penetrated the deck, and the hull on the side was also hit by the edges of the stone, a hole was blown out and the river water gushed in. In the blink of an eye, half of the hull of the warship fell under the water. The rebels above jumped into the water, rushing to escape...
Another huge flying stone lost its correctness and landed obliquely in the middle of the river. The more ten feet away the tower ship was, the huge slap, the waves that soared into the sky. Although it did not hit the tall tower ship, the momentum made the rebel soldiers panic. After turning the rudder plate a little and adjusting the angle, the speed of the tower ship began to gradually speed up, and soon shook off the surrounding warships and boats, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
At the same time, the small warship behind also accelerated and quickly followed all the warships in front of the shield wall or canopy, and after they were covered with string control men with bows and arrows, they only started a volley when they entered the range.
On the top of the city, whether it was a catapult, a four-person crossbow, a wooden umbrella, an axe, arrow, a wolf tooth patrol, a turret cabinet... the soldiers who were ready to go and strong men who were forced to conquer were already standing beside them. On the wall on the north city gate, countless soldiers who had experienced blood and fire had already been bowed and unsheathed, and their eyes were not instantly staring at the rebels who were swarming like crucian carp under the city. They waited for Shangguan's order to start a life-threatening fight.
Boom
Two huge flying stones fell into the rebels' fleet. One of them was in the middle of the huge impact of the spire of the tower ship. Not only was the croaker room knocked down half of the croaker room, but even the croaker room was beaten to a loss. The rebels on the croaker boat made a loud noise. Dozens of people rushed out of the croaker, and they ran to hide behind the croaker. Another flying stone sank a small boat. Dozens of people on the warship were either dead or injured, and they quickly dived to change the boat.
Above the city, countless people were counting breaths silently in their hearts, calculating the rebels' siege. At the current speed of the tower ship, there were at most ten breaths, and the real battle was about to begin.
Boom
The front end of the hull wrapped in sharp iron horns suddenly hit the city wall. The entire Xiangyang City seemed to shake and before the hull could stop, another rain of arrows from both sides shot down, but because the front end of the hull had already leaned against the Xiangyang City Wall, the distance was too close, and the casualties were minimal. Then, on the deck of the bow of the ship, more than ten strong soldiers carried several short ladders, and rushed towards the city wall quickly with flying arrows and powerful crossbow arrows.
As soon as we arrived at the city, several shadows above our heads were suddenly shrouded. The soldiers in the distance exclaimed, but the rebels who had just rushed to the city had no time to dodge. When they looked up, they saw a sharp and shining nail thorn in their eyes, which smashed dozens of rebel soldiers who acted as vanguards. They didn't even get to the city wall. They were all beaten by huge wolf teeth. A solid, thick, long and sharp iron nail pierced through the gap of the armor, causing a terrible howling.
A rebel who rushed to the front and reacted the fastest, rolling and crawling out of the wolf's teeth. When one head turned, everyone saw his face full of honeycomb blood pits, and even some thorny iron nails were nailed to the face and there was a deep blood hole left in his left eye, which was constantly flowing with red and white slurry. The eyeball was dragged under the man's cheeks, but he didn't know that, just stretched out his hands and scratched his face.
The war was just beginning, but it was such a tragic phenomenon
But no one could hesitate and slow at this time. In just a blink of an eye, nearly a hundred people rushed up and the blood and corpses that fell in the first round did not scare anyone. On the contrary, after being stimulated by the blood, the rebels behind seemed to have forgotten life and death in an instant. A man wearing a cap on his head and without any armor roared, and a team of fifty-man rebels took the lead. In an instant, he rushed to the city. With his arms raised, the short ladder had already been put on the top of the city. The man pressed the middle of the short ladder with one hand, stepped on the two wooden support trees on the short ladder in the air, and jumped to the city in just two strokes.
puff
A short arrow flew from the dark, nailed to the man's right arm, and a stream of blood suddenly turned red and half-brown. The man stared at his red eyes as if nothing had happened. A long sword in his hand suddenly drew a semicircle. The three guards who had just rushed to him suddenly flew into the sky.
The strong wind sounded, and a spear poked out from the camp of guards at the top of the city like a poisoned dragon. The rebel man's throat suddenly leaned back, his legs firmly nailed to the ground, and his whole body was folded in half. At the same time, the long sword in his hand swung obliquely. When the blade spear intersected, the spearhead was slightly paused, but the blade had not stopped. The rebel man suddenly stepped forward, and the ape's arms stretched out, and the long sword in his hand flew out, instantly pierced the front chest of a guard.
More than a dozen spears were cut by the blade. The man rolled on the spot and quickly came to a guard guard. He suddenly grabbed the other person's ankle with both hands and lifted him upside down and slapped him heavily on the ground. The man didn't even look at the guard guard. He snatched the spear in the guard guard's palm and blocked it across the front of him, which immediately resolved the crisis.
After the man's brief movement, dozens of rebels rushed up the short ladder, everyone's eyes were red, and they waved their long swords like crazy tigers and rushed towards the city wall.
Dong
A huge umbrella axe with three blades suddenly fell from the air. Just after running a few steps, the nearly ten rebels who rushed in the front were caught off guard. The two halves of the heavy umbrella axe made people feel like hell on earth. All the broken arms and legs were all seen everywhere. Some people happened to be cut off by the huge axe blade but did not lose their breath immediately. Countless blood and internal organs surged out of half of their body, but they still struggled while screaming and crawling to the side...
Pang
Another round of rebel soldiers rushed up to the city wall, and an axe shadow suddenly fell. The rebels retreated together, but suddenly hung under their feet, and a sound of slapping the water surface came one after another, and more than a dozen people fell into the moat...
The feathered arrows in the sky still flew from time to time. Now the two armies have begun to contact. Although there is no large-scale rain of arrows ahead, there are still many people hiding in the dark and firing cold arrows. From time to time, defenders on the city and people participating in defense are shot down by cold arrows, and their bodies fall to the city...
call out
The wind blows again
The former rebel man, who was like a tiger, killed three more people in a blink of an eye. He was about to move forward, but he was still afraid that another spear came from his left rib, which was poisonous and accurate. The rebel man quickly retreated the hilt of the knife and blocked it. The huge force of the rebel man came through the blade, causing the rebel man's right arm, which had been injured by arrows, to feel a numbness. The blood flowed even faster. The rebel man raised his eyes and looked forward, but saw dozens of guards, a leader in front of him was holding on to the spear and staring at him fiercely.
"kill"
Qiu Biao shouted loudly, and the dozens of guards behind him immediately joined the battle group like tigers coming out of the mountain. At the same time, the blood-stained spear in Qiu Biao's palm shook in the air, and once again entangled the brave rebel man. From the start of the war, Qiu Biao had fought with this man openly and secretly. Qiu Biao was a man who could fight, and at this time he had to admire the bravery of the rebels. With his ability, he was at least a leader among the rebels. Seeing that two long dead in this rebel man's sword, and on the short ladder at the top of the city were still rushing up, Qiu Biao would not stop the opponent's offensive at this time, and the north gate... was afraid that it would be over, so Qiu Biao quickly put down his original plan and shouted and officially joined the battle group.
The sword is like a tiger, the spear is like a poisonous dragon
The two of them danced with swords and spears, and they were all consciously avoided the rebels and guards, and silently made a small piece of open space. Although Qiu Biao danced with spears fiercely, he was not greedy and only entangled the rebel leader. On the contrary, the man was entangled by Qiu Biao's spears, and after a little hit, he became a little impatient. However, after the initial blood force, the rebel man's aura was gradually suppressed by Qiu Biao. The arrow on his right arm had broken several cracks due to constant force. Blood flowed down his arms, and blood beads kept flying into the air as he swung the knife.
As Qiu Biao was fighting, a long roar was suddenly opened and closed. When he waved, the bitter wind rushed straight to the door. The force was strong and the momentum was extraordinary. The rebel man could not resist it. His right arm was bleeding and gradually lowered. Seeing that he was unable to defeat him, the man quickly handed over his left hand, desperately supporting him, but Qiu Biao would not miss this opportunity again. The spear shook, and the man swung his left arm to block it. However, the tip of Qiu Biao's spear suddenly retracted and poked out again. He was stabbing the arrow on the man's right arm that had already penetrated deep into the arrow shaft, and then he immediately deflected a few points. The man felt pain and his body slowed down. Qiu Biao slashed his backhand and stabbed into the man's right rib with a spear.
The spear tip was picked and closed, and the man immediately fell down, leaving only breathing but not inhaling...
