Chapter 469: Battle to the Death (Part 1)

The marching Yan State Standing Army and Tianhe County soldiers also heard the thunderous roar. Everyone froze in unison, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to even breathe. In the sound of "killing", being exhausted, everyone opened their mouths, like a fish thrown on the shore, trying to breathe more fresh air.

The color of the world changed, and Hu Yanchao's expression also changed drastically.

"Beat the drum, attack!" he shouted sharply.

If the enemy's morale is not suppressed at the moment when the enemy's momentum is strongest, one will ebb and flow, and the next battle will inevitably increase in difficulty.

In the Yan army's middle army, hundreds of battle drums were beating at the same time, and the shrill horns sounded the pace of attack.

At the same time as the drums were beating, when the soldiers of Tianhe County were still a little sluggish, the standing army of the five thousand Yan Kingdom, who were mainly attacking Jishi Mountain, was refreshed and their steps quickened.

Lei Jin, who presided over the attack, waved the flag.

"Roar!" Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison. The forward battalion continued to rush forward, but the follow-up troops stopped. The hammer smashed into the ground, and in a short while, the trebuchets stood up, and the long throwing arms were pulled down by dozens of soldiers with ropes, and they were firmly buckled on the ground, and stone bombs were loaded on them. .

"Get ready!" An officer shouted sharply, and at the same time, two thousand soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion had rushed up the mountain road. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed one-third of Jishi Mountain, and moving forward, they entered the attack range of the bunker lying on the mountain road.

With rows of thick shields in front, the Yan army pushed forward step by step. In the middle and rear of the team, some other soldiers raised their hands and threw the anchor hooks in their hands. Amidst the sound of ding ding, the anchor hook with a long rope fell on the rock, hooked tightly, and the soldiers climbed up along the rope. In a blink of an eye, he climbed to the upper level of the mountain road.

When the trebuchets at the bottom of the mountain started to stand up, on the top of the mountain, He Chong's long knife fell heavily, "Smash."

Hidden in the forest on the top of the mountain, the trebuchet made a loud noise when it was lifted, and stone bombs rose from the forest and fell to the Yan Army's trebuchet positions down the mountain. The stone bombs hit the ground, splashing huge dust, and several trebuchets that had just been installed were hit, and with a bang, they turned into ruins, huge throwing arms. The pillars fell down one after another, and the soldiers who couldn't escape were hit by these giant trees, screaming and falling to the ground. The stone bullets hit the target. in the whistling sound. Rotating in the crowd, wherever it passes, there is a lot of mourning.

"Fight back, fight back!" The face of the officer commanding the catapult was grazed by a flying stone,

Blood was dripping, he didn't care, he jumped and shouted. The long throwing arms of the unbroken trebuchets were raised high. More than a dozen stone bombs soared into the air and flew towards the top of the mountain.

"Reinstall, I will reinstall as many units as the enemy destroys!" The officer wiped the blood on his face. This time, the army brought enough luggage and did not waste it. And like trebuchets, craftsmen in the army can replenish several sets overnight, and pile stones on the mountain. As long as one is damaged, there will be one less.

The stone bullets thrown from the bottom of the mountain fell on the stone fortress on the top of the mountain. In the woods, the destructive power has been greatly reduced. Apart from guarding against those fragmented and bouncing stone fragments, it can hardly cause any damage. The corner of He Chong's mouth curled up There was a sneer, "Give me a hard blow, smash these bastards to pieces."

As his voice fell to the ground, the shrill whistle sounded again in the woods behind him.

"Wang Xiaowu!" He Chong shouted.

"Captain, the villain is here!" A short man ran over like flying.

"From now on, the catapults are under your command. Most of the catapults will bombard those catapults, and a few will be separated out to blast the ants down the mountain for me. Kill one more if you can."

"That's it!" The little man walked away with a murderous look on his face.

However, He Chong took dozens of crossbowmen and rushed towards the mountain road below like flying.

In the first bunker, Cheng Siniu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and felt a little nervous. In his field of vision, he could not see a single enemy, but what completely covered his field of vision were rows of black shields. The enemy, of course, is hiding behind those shields.

"Try shooting an arrow!" Cheng Siniu raised his arm to stretch the crossbow, and with a whoosh, a crossbow arrow flew away and hit the shield, but the effect disappointed Cheng Siniu. Zhang Nu was actually blocked by the dark shield, which only made the shield player back slightly.

"Iron shield, grandma's, it's an iron shield!" Cheng Siniu roared unwillingly. "Bed crossbow, bed crossbow ready."

The iron shield in Cheng Siniu's mouth is naturally not the kind of wooden shield with a layer of iron on the outside. If it is such a shield, it will not be able to block a blow at all, but now, the opponent's shield is easy. Blocking the shooting of the crossbow, this can only be a complete iron shield.

Yan Jun is really fucking spending money! Cheng Siniu was very unwilling. Each piece of this kind of iron shield weighed tens of catties. It was not an easy task to carry it and move it. Moreover, there must not be many such iron shields. It's really abominable, the scene where the crossbow arrows in his imagination fly out, and the scene of blood and flesh flying all over the place is impossible to appear.

The bunker is not big, it can only accommodate a bed crossbow, and the loading speed of the bed crossbow is too slow, this is doomed to cause big trouble in this battle.

"I'm going to shoot the crossbow on the bed. You guys aim at me. When the time comes to tear open the gap, you also prepare to shoot the crossbow through the gap and take a few lives!" Cheng Siniu jumped out from between his teeth. few words.

Holding the crossbow in his hand, there is no need to aim at this distance, because the mountain road in front of him is full of Yan troops.

"Hey!" Cheng Siniu snapped off the camera. The body of the bed crossbow shook backwards, and a bed crossbow rushed out with a screaming sound. With a bang, the iron shield couldn't withstand the huge force of the bed crossbow, and it split into four pieces. The Yan army holding the iron shield behind them With a scream, he threw his body backwards, and the arm bone holding the shield was shattered by this force. The bed crossbow bolt that broke through the iron shield still had no strength left, and directly passed through his body, throwing him and another person behind him. Yan Jun strung together.

When the dense iron shield was torn through a gap less than one meter wide, the howling sound of the crossbow was just right, and it shot into the gap that was only one meter wide. The sound of screaming.

Cheng Siniu cracked his lips and smiled, and with the strength of his arms, except for this kind of perverted big iron shield, he would never take part in the battle again if he didn't die.

"Leave two people here to load the bed crossbow, and the others, leave the fort, go to the top of the fort, and shoot them in the back!" Cheng Siniu shouted.

Cheng Siniu's here is just a microcosm of the entire mountain road. The Yan army's attack is not a step-by-step, one by one mountain road. They are fully covered and attack all the mountain roads at the same time. If you lose everything, you can only fall into a situation where you are fighting on your own. The weakness of the bed crossbow's slow shooting speed is fully exposed here. When the bunker was built, the concealment was considered and its capacity was ignored. At this time, the weakness is also fully revealed. If the fortress is large, there are three bed crossbows inside. If the three bed crossbows shoot alternately, they can form a continuous destructive ability, and these iron shield soldiers are nothing to worry about.

When He Chong rushed down with dozens of crossbowmen, a group of Yan troops who climbed up the anchor cables from the mountain road below happened to appear in front of his eyes.

"Fuck them to death!" He Chong knelt down on one knee, raised the crossbow in his hand, and made three chirp chirps, and the three Yan soldiers turned over and fell down the mountain road.

On this mountain, only He Chong held this kind of three-shot cavalry crossbow in his hand, and the others who rushed down with him were just ordinary arm-stretch crossbows, but one of them carried two.

Following He Chong's shooting, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot out, and the Yan army who had just climbed up fell like dumplings.

"Half of the people are equipped with crossbows, and half of them are ready to fight!" He Chong threw away the riding crossbow in his hand, drew out his saber, rushed to the edge of the mountain road, and cut off an anchor with a single blow.

A dozen soldiers rushed over after He Chong, raised their knives and dropped them, and the anchor ropes broke one after another. Behind them, the other half of the soldiers squatted nervously on the ground, quickly filling the empty arm crossbow with arrows.

A batch of anchor ropes broke, and more anchor ropes were thrown up. One by one, the Yanjun climbed up quickly like apes.

The death of the previous group of companions and the breaking of the anchor rope let them know that there was already an enemy blocking them above their heads. Let the opponent be hard to defend, as long as there is a small group of people standing on the top, the last mountain path will be broken. And after breaking through this last mountain path, what they faced was an open buffer slope, and the enemy couldn't stop it.

Cheng Siniu shot another bed crossbow, and with a loud noise, the Yan army who had been less than ten steps away from the fort was forced to fly backwards. The force of this blow killed four or five Yan soldiers. Jun, next, there was darkness in front of Cheng Siniu's eyes, and the iron shield surged up, blocking his vision. He discarded the bed crossbow without hesitation, stretched out his hand to pick up a knife stuck at his feet, and rushed to the secret door behind.

A short scream came from above his head, and Cheng Siniu could tell that it was his brother in this castle. Shouting wildly, he rushed out of the secret door, and just as soon as he stepped over, he slashed at him with a knife. Cheng Siniu looked around, and there were Yan troops in front, back, left, and right.

The head-on knife came so quickly, Yan Jun who made the knife showed a smile on his face, this is the last enemy in this fort, if he is killed, the mountain road will be completely cleared.

Cheng Siniu didn't dodge or parry, he knew very well that if he blocked the knife, more knives would come down, he was still a dead character, in this case, why not pull a back.

He stabbed forward with a straight knife.

When the knife fell, it slashed into Cheng Siniu's right shoulder, and the blade was deeply embedded in his body. At the same time, Cheng Siniu's knife penetrated deeply into his abdomen.

This Yan Jun opened his eyes wide and fell down in disbelief. He was still dead in front of Cheng Siniu. His last sense before death was Cheng Siniu's sneer. (To be continued.
