Chapter 678
Chapter 678 The two sides fought fiercely
Confirm that there was no more surviving here, Li Yu and Lu Chi went downstairs and entered the battle below.
There are hundreds of defenders on the upper and lower floors of the city gate tower. After a bloody battle, the defenders were killed, and dozens of people were killed on the Wu army.
On the bottom floor of the city gate tower, Li Yu and others indeed discovered the mechanism that controlled the dam gate.
The huge noose can be pushed by seven or eight strong men.
Li Yu patted the noose and said loudly: "This noose is the mechanism that controls the dam gate. We only have one task. Keep it here and don't let the enemy rush in!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Xu Nian wiped the blood from the knife, put the knife into the sheath, commanded the soldiers, cleaned the battlefield, and collected all the useful weapons. As for the corpses of the Chu army, they were piled at the entrance of the city gate tower for the purpose of resisting the enemy.
While they were busy transporting bodies and collecting weapons, dense Chu troops rushed up from the city walls.
Seeing this, Xu Nian shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle!"
More than a hundred Wu soldiers went up to the top of the city gate tower, set up crossbow machines at the window, twisted their bows and arrows.
When the Chu army advanced, the Wu army on the top floor took the lead in firing arrows.
Slap sex-
The sound of the bowstrings ejected in a whole circle.
The Chu army rushing in the front row were all shot and fell to the ground.
Soon, the Chu army behind him held up his shield.
The front row was heavy shield soldiers, holding back the troops, while the soldiers behind raised their shields together. Looking around, the Chu army's shield formation was square, like an iron turtle moving slowly on the city wall.
The jingling sounds came one after another, arrows hit the shield from time to time, and sparks flew everywhere.
However, under the protection of the shield formation, the ordinary arrow shooting of the Wu army no longer poses much threat to them.
At this time, Xu Nian also climbed to the top floor. Seeing that there were two bed crossbows placed here, he shouted loudly: "Come and help!"
Both of these crossbows aimed directly in front of the city gate tower, and the target of the attack was the enemy troops entering the urn city.
Now, Xu Nian and Wu army moved the bed crossbow, turned it toward and aimed it at the side wall.
After some operation, Xu Nian pointed the edge of the crossbow at the Chu army formation that was advancing from the city.
Then, several Wu soldiers moved the noose and turned the crossbow into the strings.
The bed crossbow is large in size and powerful, and the ones shot out cannot be called crossbow arrows, but wooden stakes that can directly penetrate thick arrow chops, which shows how powerful it is.
Two crossbows, one in front and the other behind, shot crossbow arrows.
These two crossbow arrows were nailed to the Chu army's shield formation, and both the human and the shield were broken.
Two strings of Chu troops were knocked out directly, and in an instant, the shield formation set up by the Chu army also became fragmented.
How could the Wu army archers miss this opportunity? For a moment, crossbows, bows and arrows flew down one after another.
Groups of Chu soldiers were shot to the ground.
The attacking Chu army retreated one after another under the fierce arrows of the Wu army.
Less than five minutes apart, the second round of attack of the Chu army came again.
This time, the Chu army invested more troops, and the square formation occupied half of the city wall.
The generals and school officials in the square meter shouted desperately: "Breaking forward! Breaking forward! Take back the city gate!"
Xu Nian immediately commanded the Wu army and continued to shoot the bed crossbow arrows.
Faced with the powerful shooting of the crossbow, the Chu soldiers could not resist it at all, and the formation was shot to chaos.
The soldiers in front of them turned around and ran back, but the supervisory team behind them was not polite at all. They swung their swords and slashed the retreating Chu army.
"If you escape at the battle, kill me!"
The supervisor shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.
The Chu army did not dare to retreat anymore. People gritted their teeth and shot arrows, and continued to advance.
A large number of Chu soldiers were shot to the ground while advancing. They died all the way and advanced all the way, and finally retreated near the city gate tower.
At this time, two people rushed out of the city gate tower, Jinwu and Lu Chi.
Immediately afterwards, more than 300 Wu troops led by Li Yu rushed out and fought with the invading Chu army.
This is a bloody battle between the two sides.
The Chu army's troops were several times or even dozens of times the Wu army, but the city walls were narrow and the more powerful ones could not be fully deployed.
Most of the Chu soldiers were blocked from the center of the battlefield.
But the side with more troops must also have stronger potential.
One of the Wu army died less than one, but one of them fell down on the other side of the Chu army and a group rushed up from behind.
As the battle between the two sides continued, people were red in their eyes, and only one thought was left in their minds, killing all the enemies ahead.
Li Yu held the Qinglong sword in his hand, slashed and stabbed, killing several enemies coming towards him.
However, the enemy troops in front seemed to be endless. As soon as they fell down, they immediately filled in.
He shouted suddenly, waved his arm outward, and dozens of golden light and shadow swords flew out in the sky.
The Chu army rushing up screamed everywhere and was killed on the ground.
But soon, more Chu troops rushed up again.
These Chu soldiers each held heavy shields, trying to use heavy shields to resist Li Yu's "sword energy".
Li Yu took a deep breath, waved his arms again, and dozens of golden light and shadow knives swirled and flew out again like butterflies in the sky.
The light and shadow knife hit the heavy shield, making a crackling sound, and the heavy shield was broken, and together with the Chu soldiers behind it, they were also shattered into pieces of meat.
Although Li Yu's moves are very lethal, the number of Chu troops is too large, killing dozens or hundreds of people on the other side is just a car.
On the contrary, the power of faith in his body was consumed more and more.
I don’t know when this battle will last, and Li Yu dared not consume the power of faith without restraint.
He rushed towards the enemy ahead with a knife and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy again.
It was unknown how long it took, but the attacking Chu army was finally defeated.
At this time, looking at the city wall, the corpses in various shapes were not stacked one layer, but several layers.
More than 300 Wu troops who followed Li Yu out to kill the enemy were defeated in a fierce battle, leaving only one hundred people, and almost all of them were lucky.
Even Jinwu and Lu Chi had wounds on their arms and thighs.
Everyone retreated to the city gate tower and sat on the ground. Sweat and blood were twitching down the chins and fingers.
Many people are overdrawing their hands because they use too much force and keep trembling.
Zike helped everyone bandage the wound, and at the same time, her eyes looked at the outer wall from time to time.
At this time, fierce battles were also taking place in the outer city wall.
The Wu army led by Qin Ying was launching a full-scale attack on the outer city wall.
However, this time the Chu army did not set any traps. A large number of Chu army climbed to the city and launched a bloody battle with the attacking Wu army.
The prefect Yu Su also personally climbed the city to command the battle.
The Wu army's offensive was too fierce. Even though the Chu army had an absolute advantage in geographical location, the situation was still not optimistic.
Yu Su looked at the officials around him and asked loudly: "Has the dam gate gate been recaptured yet?"
It was precisely because the Dam City Gate was unexpectedly captured by Li Yu and others that they had to defend the outer city wall to the death.
Otherwise, they could have abandoned the outer city wall and deliberately put the invading Wu army into the urn, then opened the dam and smashed the door, drowned and washed away the attacking Wu army with a huge flood!
