Chapter 380: Breaking the City
With the power of the infantry's three arrows, Hutou went up five steps, and the city was already in sight, but the soldiers on the city also knew that the critical moment had come, so they rushed up without thinking about their own safety. Standing at the position of Hutou, Holding a long spear on the top of the city can also be assassinated. Several soldiers from Hejian County held their long spears and poked down randomly. In an instant, the tiger's head was full of dangers. The soldier threw himself to the side of the tiger's head desperately, blocking the gun with his body, but several holes were added to his body, and he turned over and fell down. watermark ad test watermark ad test
On the city tower, the alarm bells became more and more urgent, and correspondingly, alarm bells sounded everywhere in the city, and the whole city boiled up.
Outside the city, Gongsun Yi's cavalry came galloping, only a few miles away from Baokang City. If the city gate hadn't been opened when he arrived at the bottom of the city, the Fengfeng soldiers would have to face the strong city wall.
The infantrymen had no crossbow arrows in their hands, and the passage was crowded with Hutou and other people, so there was nothing they could do for a while, He Lanyan looked at the distance from the top of the city, and said loudly: "Infantry, stand in the middle of the steps. , send me up!" She made a gesture.
At this time, the infantry no longer cared about He Lanyan's safety. They had to kill these people on the top of the city and open the city gate, otherwise they would all die in the city. He could already see that there were torches all over the city. The north city gate is rushing, and the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.
He stood in the middle of the steps, stood still with his waist down, and crossed his hands and fingers across his chest and lower abdomen. He Lanyan, holding a steel knife, sped up and rushed towards him. Standing up, one foot stepped on the infantryman's hands, and the infantry shouted violently. With both hands, He Lanyan was thrown high up. At this moment, He Lanyan was really like a light bird. Fly high. The long skirt fluttered like a fairy coming down to earth. This jump was already higher than the city wall, but the infantry on the steps sat down. His chest was tight and he couldn't even speak.
Pian Pian descended to the earth like a fairy, but in reality it was Shura who came to the world. The soldiers of Hejian County were stunned by the sudden air attack. The momentary hesitation and delay in payment had already brought disaster to them. He Lanyan fell into the world. among them. With the light rotation of the body, the steel knife spurted out bursts of blood mist.
Although He Lanyan is a woman, she is a veteran on the battlefield. Facing a general like Zheng Shuang, she must use some tricks to win the battle. But when confronted with these ordinary soldiers, she was able to handle it with ease. The Huns' unique fighting skills, which were not fancy at all, and took their lives with swords, were suitable for this time.
There was a commotion on the top of the city, and a Hejian County soldier split up to deal with He Lanyan. The pressure on the tiger's head immediately dropped, and it took a few more steps amidst the roar. The infantryman was running around in a hurry, and suddenly saw a few spears falling from above at his feet. His eyes lit up, he picked one up, weighed it in his hand, and after taking a few steps back, trotted forward, swung it He had good eyesight and strong arms, and when he threw the spear up, he immediately stabbed a Hejian County soldier opposite the tiger's head to the heart.
The infantry laughed,
Bending down and picking up two more spears, doing the same thing, amidst the screams, two more people were killed in battle on the city, the tiger's head was already red-eyed, and the horizontal knife was wiped across, the chest and abdomen in front of him were wide open, and the soup flowed After landing on the ground and taking a step, Hutou felt his eyes widen for a while, and finally reached the city wall, and the Fufeng soldiers who followed behind him cheered.
Hutou glanced at the top of the city. He Lanyan had been submerged in the siege of more than a dozen soldiers from Hejian County. The gates are raised."
Several soldiers cheered and rushed towards the huge winch at the top of the city. Together, the winch started to rotate, and the heavy gate began to rise inch by inch. Hutou roared loudly, and threw his sword at the Hejian County soldiers who were besieging He Lanyan. He swung his sword, and those who blocked him were killed immediately.
The infantry stepped up to the city wall in three steps at a time, turned their eyes, and spotted the bundle of feathered arrows piled up in the corner of the city at a glance on the chaotic city head. As soon as he put on the bowstring, there was a whoosh in his ear, his body shrank immediately, and he circled into a ball. There was a scream in his ear, but it was a Fufeng soldier who was turning the winch fell down. Immediately, the gate sank a little more. The infantry was furious, and looked up at the bell tower. Sure enough, a soldier who was ringing the bell desperately saw that something was wrong, leaned out half of his body from the bell tower, and shot down a Fufeng soldier with an arrow. Bowstring, ready for the second arrow.
The infantryman flicked his wrist, and with a bang, an arrow flew out, and the head of the half-protruded Hejian County soldier was immediately pierced by the arrow, and he fell headlong from the bell tower. With a cold snort, the infantry stood up steadily, raised their arrows, and drew their bows. Amid the sound of the arrows, the Hejian County soldiers who besieged He Lanyan fell down one by one.
On the top of the city, there was no Hejian soldier in sight anymore. The tiger head dropped his long sword, and the infantry threw their bows and arrows. Both of them ran to the turntable and turned the winch desperately. It was the powerful monster Tiger Head, and the gate was rising faster and faster. But He Lanyan leaned on the knife and couldn't help panting heavily. After all, she was a woman, and her strength was weak. At this moment, she just felt weak all over, and she couldn't even pull up any strength.
Outside the city, Gongsun Yi's 500 cavalry rushed straight to the north gate. Seeing that the gate was rising, the cavalry cheered and rushed straight over. When Gongsun Yi rushed to the gate, the gate was just over his head. , holding his horse's belly, Gongsun Yi was the first to rush into the city, and behind him, five hundred cavalry roared in.
Wu Gang stood there dumbstruck, looking at the corpses all over the ground at the north gate, and at the Huns cavalry roaring in. Behind him, more than three or four hundred county soldiers and arresters scattered in all directions with a bang. Fleeing, they were blocking the intersection, and the direction of the cavalry was facing them, seeing the momentum of the tall horse roaring, he was already timid before fighting.
In confusion, several of Wu Gang's personal soldiers grabbed Wu Gang, dragged him aside, and hid in a room by the street.
At the top of the city, Hutou picked up a pole, stuck the winch, and then sat down in a pool of blood. Until then, he felt exhausted and didn't even want to move a finger. He had done countless things before. There have been times like this, but none as sinister as today.
He Lanyan also found a cleaner place to sit down. Today, she narrowly escaped death twice, and now she was holding a steel knife, and all she had to do was to breathe. , but only the infantry had enough strength to swim, and stretched out their hands to recruit a few surviving Fufeng soldiers, "Go, bandage the wound of the tiger head boss." He walked up to He Lanyan again, "Coach, are you okay, are you injured?" Scabbers couldn't tell if it was the enemy's blood or his own.
"Fortunately, it's just a few openings, it's not in the way!" He Lanyan looked at the city gate, "Tang Ming and Wang Yi should be here, just cavalry, that's not enough!"
"Don't worry, Tang Ming and Wang Yi are both veterans, and they won't travel on business!"
As if responding to the infantry's words, as far as the eye can see, a long dragon-like torch has appeared, quickly approaching this end.
"Today's battle is really dangerous. If something goes wrong, we will not be able to complete the mission!" Until now, the infantry still had lingering fears.
"For war, strength is a part, and luck is also a part. Today we are lucky!" The tiger head on one side recovered, leaned on the winch, and said with a smile: "The coach killed Zheng Shuang, and the soldiers of Hejian County have no leader. , the scheduling is not effective, and then, we have to let us slaughter, and we opened the city gate in time, and the timing of Gongsun Yi's appearance is just right, if it is later, we will be in trouble again!"
The three of them had just seen that the moment Gongsun Yi entered the city, Baokang's reinforcements had already appeared at the intersection. If it was a little bit late at night, and those hundreds of reinforcements arrived at the north gate first, then the three of them would jump off the city and escape. , there is really no way out.
"Now I know why neither the Donghu nor our Xiongnu seldom attack the cities of the Central Plains!" He Lanyan sighed, "We have spent a lot of effort in such a small county. Fortified city, I am really terrified, how can I attack it like that?"
The infantryman shook his head, "The general said that the most difficult thing to break in this world is not the city, but the human heart. No matter how strong or steep the city is, you can always find a way to break it."
"Oh, Gao Yuan is still telling you this?" He Lanyan's eyes lit up.
The infantryman smiled, "I still remember when we went to Liaoxi for the first time, Yan Haibo and I were dumbfounded when we saw the majestic city wall of Liaoxi City. These words, let us think about it when we come back, if one day we really want to attack such a city, what should we do?"
He Lanyan said in shock: "At that time, he was just a small soldier. You are not even a head soldier. You are just thinking about such a thing. If Zhang Shouyue finds out, why don't you kill you all?"
The infantryman laughed, "Just think about it."
"Have you really thought about it after you came back?" Hutou asked curiously, at this moment his body was wrapped with countless cloth belts, like a tattered rag doll.
"Of course, but some of the methods we thought of to destroy the city at the beginning were thrown away as time went by and the number of soldiers we led gradually increased. However, new methods emerged one after another. Now, all of them exist. There are a lot of them, but I don’t know if it’s useful or not!” The infantryman sighed, “The status is getting higher and higher, and the number of soldiers is getting more and more, so I’m becoming more and more cautious in my heart. Those thoughts are a bit ridiculous when I think about them now.”
"That's true!" He Lanyan nodded, stood up, and looked at the chaotic Baokang City, "Now, Baokang is ours, infantry, should we loot and leave, or should we take root here? ?”
"Jiang Changshi means to take root, of course, in the name of the Huns, but now the banner of the general cannot be played out."
