Chapter 99 Opportunity for a decisive battle
"Push it down!"
Gao Yong was immediately furious and knew that once the cloud ladder was built on the city wall, it was a dream to remove it. Such a heavy and steady cloud ladder was placed on the city wall at a forty-five degrees angle, which was definitely not something that humans could push down. Only attack the Yan army who climbed the city along the cloud ladder.
The soldiers immediately ordered the soldiers to set up a spear about a meter on the city wall, densely packed with fifty or sixty, like a hedgehog, forming a simple spear array, which was open like a trumpet, and it was like three huge golden flowers blooming on the top of the city.
The Yan army rushed up one after another, and immediately couldn't stop and was immediately stabbed by a spear.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"
Seeing that the attack worked, Gao Yong immediately put all the soldiers on the entrance of the city of the ladder. At the same time, the female wall was covered with archers, and kept shooting the Yan army who had climbed up the ladder down the city.
Deng Ai saw it carefully and thought to himself: "This tactic is good." The spear formation was opened with a trumpet, and the guns were about meter long. There were archers on both sides shooting soldiers on the ladder, which almost became a way of thinking. He immediately picked up the shield and threw it to a centurion, and said angrily: "Hold the shield and hit it to death, and knock the spear formation to me."
The centurion was so shocked that his face was full of fear and said tremblingly: "Great General! This - if you bump into it like this, isn't that going to die? You should attack the city in a different way."
Deng Ai glared at the eyes, and the supervisor behind him had raised his bow and arrow. The centurion knew very well that if he did not take the initiative to attack, his life would be explained. He immediately bit his teeth, picked up the shield to protect him, and shouted to the Century Team behind him: "Brothers, attack!"
The first hundred-man team each held their shields and rushed towards the direction of the ladder. The centurion protected his body with a half-body shield, and at the same time he bent over. The soldiers behind him also followed suit. Countless feather arrows flew over, shooting the shields to the point of jingling and sounding.
The centurion shouted loudly and hit the spear formation. With a bang, the spear was extremely sharp, but it could not penetrate the shield. It immediately resisted with force, and could not push it with all its strength. The fifty or sixty spears were held by Goguryeo soldiers with both hands, and of course they could not be knocked away by one person.
The Hundreds also saw his dilemma, and immediately protected his shield without saying a word, and then slammed his shoulders while running. Then twenty or thirty people rushed forward, struggling with all their might to resist the spear formation, pushing it hard, and it was a difficult time to resolve.
Gao Yong immediately ordered people to suppress the spear formation, and it was also a pushing force on his shoulders. The two sides competed with each other and pushed each other, and began a competition of wrist strength in the high altitude.
Of course, this was extremely difficult for the Yan army to attack the city defense. The ladder was only about a foot wide and could only accommodate five or six people standing side by side. It had to be guarded against crossbow arrows shot from both sides. The Goguryeo soldiers had a spacious position to move, and connected in a row to squeeze forward. One person suddenly came one after another. The spear formation suddenly pushed forward half a foot. Seven or eight Yan soldiers fell down on the ladder, and their bones were broken.
Gao Yong made the same move, and all the three cloud ladders followed this method. The spear formation was first pushed seven or eight feet away to leave room for squeeze, and then pushed forward with a burst of energy, squeezing the Yan army attacking the cloud ladder.
Coum said: "Press the city and shoot on both sides, don't give the enemy a chance to come up."
Gao Yong sneered, "They can't get up."
Deng Ai's face remained unchanged until his death, and he still looked cold. He summoned three hundred-man teams to attack the city. Such a tough battle cannot be relaxed for a moment. As long as one hundred-man team attacked the city and seized the lead, the subsequent large troops could enter the city one after another. It seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact it was advantageous. The Yan army could be pushed down seven or eight, but as long as one went up, Maruto City would defeat it as quickly as possible.
The centurion frowned and saw the key to the siege. Although the spear formation was unsolvable, the brute force could not be pushed out. After all, the ladder was just so wide and it was difficult to stand firm. The Goguryeo soldiers at the top of the city took advantage of the momentum and used their strength to be greater than theirs. After a moment of thinking, he knew how to attack. He said to his team of hundred people: "When attacking the ladder, they lined up in a row, blocked the arrows that were shot, and left aisle in the middle of the ladder. The first climbing dead soldiers stepped on their shoulders, climbed the spear and went straight to the top of the city."
As soon as this was said, the Century Team immediately assigned a strategy, first rushing up the cloud ladder with twenty people on both sides, and each shield went outward to form an iron wall to block the bow and arrow shot from the city. In this way, a passage was left in the middle of the cloud ladder where three people could stand side by side. The centurion took the lead to assign the dead soldiers to attack the city, promising some generous rewards and so on. The dead soldiers showed a stack of harem-like backs and shoulders. First, the two of them each carried one person, held it in the air, and then shouted "Three, two, one, go". The two of them pushed forward with force, and the dead soldiers rushed to the top of the spear formation.
Gao Yong couldn't help but look up and shouted: "Highing the spear two feet high, what kind of bad way can it still be stabbed into a hornet's nest!"
The spearmen did not use his instructions and immediately raised the handle of the spear. With a puff, the dead soldier was nailed to death in mid-air on the spot, and blood dripped along the handle of the spear. As the spear continued to thorn and pile up, the dead soldier's body also fell from the air.
The centurion continued to send additional dead soldiers to attack the city, and ordered: "When landing, protect yourself with a shield, don't be stabbed to death by a spear, as the attack is expected."
The dead soldier nodded, gritted his teeth, held the shield in his hand tightly, and was lifted up by two Yan soldiers, and tried to jump over the spear formation. Gao Yong sneered, thinking that this was not the same to die?
But the next second the spearman raised the handle of the gun. With a sound, the dead soldier did not fall into the gun forest and stab him to death, but curled up in time, as if he was lying on a shield. Although the spear also poked, it was only poked on the shield and did not kill him.
The centurion immediately ordered the dead soldiers to seize the opportunity. The dead soldiers were constantly thrown onto the spear formation by the Yan army. The one who jumped onto the spear formation directly stepped on the back of the person in front to leverage the force and jumped to the top of the city. The axe in his hand swept across the city with a powerful force. The spear soldiers who were originally on the front of the city held the handle of the gun in both hands, and there was no room for free to deal with it?
The spear soldiers were too fast to avoid it, and were killed seven or eight people by the dead soldiers in one breath. The remaining spear soldiers hurriedly removed the weapons in their hands, and the spears fell to the ground one after another. The so-called "spray formation" was also instantly broken.
Without the spearmen pressing on one end of the cloud ladder, the road to the city with three cloud ladders is much simpler. The dead soldiers took the lead in protecting the top of the cloud ladder in groups of three to avoid enemy troops from surrounding them.
The centurion raised his arms and shouted: "Run up to the top of the city, and those who cut the flag will be rewarded!"
With this shout, the cloud ladder was really like a ladder. The Yan army rushed to the top of the city and fought with the Goguryeo soldiers.
In an instant, the battle reached the most intense stage.
Deng Ai saw a hundred-man team attacking the upper city, and the second one attacking the upper city one after another. Then the speed of climbing the city was getting faster and faster, and the eight hundred-man teams on the top of the city were continuously attacked. It was not until this moment that his face calmed down. The blue veins on his forehead stormed up and calmed down. He walked towards the carriage where Gongsun Xiu was located, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have already boarded the eight hundred-man teams. In another half an hour, our soldiers will open the city gate from the inside and can order an advance."
But after asking, no one answered.
Deng Ai thought to himself whether King Yan was asleep in the carriage, but he did not dare to wake up the King Yan directly, and looked at the personal soldiers standing beside him.
The personal soldiers smiled and said, "The King of Yan told him to let the general enter the carriage himself after siege the city."
Deng Ai was stunned and immediately entered the carriage. He saw that there was no Gongsun Xiu in the carriage. There was only a note on the desk with four words written on it: "Attack the city and attack."
He immediately realized that when the King of Yan ordered Deng Zhong to take a detour to the Mazishui River to build a floating bridge in advance, he was already planning to decide the enemy's retreat. He was shocked and immediately took the note, stood on the carriage and raised it high, shouting: "The King of Yan's hand order: The three armies obey the orders and attack the city with all their strength."
As soon as this was said, the Yan army, who had been waiting for many days, finally ushered in a decisive opportunity and rushed to the city frantically. As the city gate was opened, the Yan army, like tigers and wolfs, also rushed into the city, with fierce killing sounds like purgatory on earth.
Deng Ai swung his spear and entered the city. He was seen by Gao Yong at first sight. He immediately sneered in his heart. Seeing that he turned around and was about to escape, he picked up the longbow hanging on the saddle and shot it out with a "sneer". He fell to the ground with a sound, and his knee could not bend immediately. It turned out that the arrow was cleverly stuck in the gap between his legs.
Gao Yong ran slowly on the ground and reached out to ask someone to pull him, but the army was in chaos and no longer divided the battle between the enemy and me. He simply ran away with oil on his feet. The timid surrendered directly. How could anyone care about the general who fell to the ground?
Deng Ai walked up slowly and stepped on Gao Yong's back. Gao Yong was like a snail that was originally squirming on the ground. He was suddenly pressed down by a three-year-old naughty boy, and he could not climb out of it no matter how hard he tried.
"General Gao, I'm going to avenge my former siege."
Deng Ai sneered. Although he warned his son to have a calm skill in doing big things, it was also a cultivation skill that was strong and weak. Now that the strong enemy is trampled on his feet, why should he care about cultivation and calmness?
Gao Yong was trampled under his feet and felt extremely humiliated. He once whispered that Deng Ai was a lord, but now his life and death are all in the other party's thoughts. Even though he was a famous general like Goguryeo, he had the urge to die and said coldly: "I am in your hands today. You can kill a soldier but not humiliate him. Give me some pleasure--ah!"
His pain was heard, but Deng Ai directly pulled out the feather arrow at the bend of his knee. The arrow had two barbs. When he pulled it out, blood flowed and a few pieces of the minced meat were pulled down. It only hurt that Gao Yong had a cold sweat.
Deng Ai sneered: "I won't let you die happily. I will kill your arms and limbs first, then hang you up, hang it on the city, and die of humiliation."
Gao Yong sweated heavily when he heard this and sneered: "That's okay. Since ancient times, the king has become a king and a defeated enemy. Even if he dies, he will lose. If he loses, he will lose. If he wins today, he will not have a good ending."
"light and spacious."
Deng Ai exclaimed, thinking that although this person was an enemy, he was not sloppy and was an open opponent. He said in a deep voice: "I'll give you a pleasure now!"
With a blow, Gao Yong closed his eyes and was killed by the knife on the spot.
Deng Ai raised his head in his hand and shouted: "Gao Yong is dead. If you want to fight again, the outcome will be the same. The Yan army is kind and never kills innocent people. As long as you are willing to surrender, you will never torture and kill prisoners."
