Chapter 11 City Head Weeps Blood
Chapter 11: Blood crying on the top of the city (This chapter is free)
Li Heihu tried his best to attack Bo Luogu. Not only did they prepare all bows and crossbows, but they also brought a large number of siege equipment.
With Li Quanhou's order, rows of simple cloud ladders quickly climbed up the wall and leaned up to about a hundred pieces at once. The sword and shield were in front of them, and they held the shield in one hand and the escalator in the other, and climbed towards the wall with a long knife in their mouths. Behind them, the archers were on guard. As long as there was a slight movement on the head of the city, they would be hit by them head-on.
In the darkness, Li Heihu sat upright on his horse, opened his eyes wide, and stared at the siege troops on the ladder nervously, but he couldn't help but pray, begging the Pegasus Ranch soldiers on the city wall not to find them anytime soon. They are racing against time now, and if they discover it later, he will have more confidence in breaking the pass.
Li Heihu found out clearly that there were only more than one thousand troops in the Pegasus Ranch. As long as he broke through the pass in front of him, Bo Luogu would wave down!
But the sky did not follow the wishes of others. Just as the sword and shield soldiers in Feiyun Village showed their heads, the soldiers on duty on the Pegasus Ranch on the city tower discovered them. These soldiers guarding the city experienced many battles and had a lot of experience. Although the enemy touched the nose due to a moment of negligence, they still did not panic too much. When they saw that the situation was wrong, they quickly blew the horn in their hands.
The shrill sound of the horn of the cow sounded over the empty city tower, floating for a long time, and continued. As the storm of the dark night spread farther and farther, the soldiers stationed at the pass were like grasshoppers boiling, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed to the top of the city.
Zhang Heng, deputy commander of the five-sword shield soldier of the eight generals, was neatly dressed. He was rubbing his giant slash in the tent boredly, and suddenly heard the sound of a horn of cow horn.
"Enemy attack!" Zhang Heng was shocked and could not wait for the soldiers to come to report, so he picked up his sword and left the camp gate.
Zhang Hengbian ran towards the city, shouting loudly: "Enemy attack! Follow me to the city to kill the enemy!" The sound was like thunder, overshadowing the sound of the wind, and spreading to all directions in the dark.
As soon as he arrived at the city head, Zhang Heng saw that the twenty patrol soldiers on the city wall had already fought with the horse thieves, shouting and killing the sky. Nearly a hundred horse thieves had already stepped onto the wall and occupied a section of the city wall steadily. The horse thieves behind were constantly rushing upwards.
The city wall was lost, and the city guarding equipment on the city wall completely lost its function, and the city guarding battle turned into bloody hand-to-hand combat.
"Kill me, kill the thief!" Without time to hesitate, "Thunder" Zhang Heng shouted loudly, waved his sword and rushed towards the thief group. The soldiers coming from behind followed him and rushed towards the melee sides.
The general was the courage of the soldiers. When the commander came, the soldiers on the city suddenly had a backbone and the originally messy formation was quickly adjusted. The sword and shield hand was in front and the archer was behind, in order, and even more blood was seen in the sword and blood, and the arrows were red, which suddenly suppressed the crazy momentum of the horse thief.
The horse thief, who was still as powerful as a rainbow, began to stagnate under the counterattack of the Pegasus Ranch soldiers. The horse thief who rushed in front had a large number of casualties, and the offense and defense were in a stalemate.
"Thunder" Zhang Heng stood under the city gate more than three meters high. Behind him were four hundred people on duty today. The night sky was dark and there was no light at all, only the strong wind was roaring tirelessly.
The city head was temporarily controlled, but Zhang Heng frowned and did not feel relaxed at all. The number of horse thieves far exceeded his imagination. Enemies also appeared on the auxiliary cities on both sides of the north and south, and the situation was very critical.
"The 100th sword and shield soldiers and the 200th archers and the 200th archers were guarding the main city wall, and they would surely drive the dog thief on the wall to me."
"The 200th sword and shield soldiers are carrying twenty-five sword and shield soldiers and twenty-five archers to guard the left auxiliary wall."
"The 200th archers were carrying twenty-five swords and shield soldiers and twenty-five archers guarding the auxiliary wall on the right."
"There are hundreds of people who are on standby and obey the orders of this general."
"At this moment of life and death, all the generals will use their lives, otherwise they will be engaged in military law!"
Zhang Heng conveyed orders to four hundred people in a deep voice.
"No!" The four of them took the order and led their subordinates to their respective battlefields.
"Quickly send the two hundred soldiers stationed in the ranch camp to reinforce!" Zhang Heng yelled at the messenger beside him again.
Horse thieves keep rising like ants, often cutting down one but a few up, cutting down one pair and then up a few up, and the more horse thieves on the city wall are killing more and more.
The Pegasus Ranch defense line retreated step by step. In a short time, most of the city walls fell into the hands of horse thieves. The horse thieves relied on the large crowds and launched attacks on the Pegasus Ranch defense line again and again. The Pegasus Ranch soldiers could only rely on their good military qualities to resist step by step, and the defense line continued to approach the city gate tower.
The city wall, which was only a hundred feet long and three feet wide, was filled with chaotic people. The bodies on the ground were getting higher and higher, and blood spread throughout the city wall.
"Light up the fire, beat the drum." Li Heihu shouted loudly at the stalemate battlefield. At this time, there is no need to hide it. All he can rely on is each other's strength and determination to fight to the death.
The two thousand torches lit up instantly, illuminating the narrow space of Thunder Valley as if it were daytime.
"Dong, dong, dong" The deafening sound of war drums shook the world, and the roads in the sky and valleys were all "buzzing, buzzing".
Under the urging of the war drum, the horse thieves started to frantically, screaming, and their weapons were slashing towards the soldiers of the Pegasus Ranch. The sound of shouts and killings on the city walls shook the earth, and shrill screams came one after another. There were broken limbs dancing and broken arms flying everywhere. The city wall, which was still clean and spectacular just now, was already bloody, like hell on earth.
Zhang Heng looked at the dark group of thieves under the city, his scalp numb and his heart was cold!
There were at least three or four thousand horse thieves, and they came prepared again. The Pegasus Ranch was in danger. He hurriedly shouted to the messenger behind him: "Hurry up the beacon and ask the young master for help! The thieves are too strong, we can't hold it for long!"
The Pegasus Ranch has always been calm, and no one would have thought that anyone would dare to attack such a powerful pass. The beacon tower has never been used since its construction, and there are usually no soldiers guarding it.
After receiving the order from Zhang Heng, the commander soldiers quickly ran to the top of the city gate tower. Fortunately, everything on the beacon tower was complete, and the commander soldiers were busy igniting the beacon.
A column of fireworks dozens of feet high rose into the air above the pass gate tower, with wolf smoke rolling, flames surging the sky, and every corner of the Pegasus Ranch was visible.
