Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 467 The war begins again
Dangdangdang——

The sound of metal bells echoed under the sky, and a series of footsteps sounded on the stone path of the fortress. The Liangshan soldiers who had received the message earlier ran up the stone steps one by one. The low-ranking general standing beside the stone path held the handle of his knife. Watching the figure running by, he kept urging: "Hurry! Faster."

The bell in the sky suddenly stopped ringing, boom——

On the wall, shields have been set up at the crenels. The soldiers on the wall are all in uniform, with black leather armor on their upper bodies and black military uniforms underneath. At this moment, they are nervously watching the crowd advancing outside, raising dust in the air. Visible from miles away.

The west wind howled, and the flags erected on the fort fluttered and rustled in the wind. Some people kept tying knives and guns in their hands. Some people's hands were trembling nervously, and they lowered their heads suddenly to bite them.

"Calm down, don't be nervous, trust the comrades around you." From time to time, the commanding general shouted loudly: "The people in other battalions were no cowards yesterday. It's our turn today, so don't let us be compared!"

Someone was running under the wall. While delivering the message, the defenders were also making adjustments. On the watchtower, the three people responsible for the defense were looking out.

The officers and soldiers on the opposite side gradually pressed forward, and several tall ladders were pushed by sergeants to a slow stop, standing in the sea of ​​soldiers. Behind them, a crash car covered with cowhide and wet mud also came over, facing the towering tower in the distance. The village gate.

"The officers and soldiers are going to fight tooth and nail..." Xi Sheng said something in his mouth, turning to the messenger and saying: "Prepare more wood and stones, and let people prepare more fire arrows and oil."

The messenger turned around and ran away.

Not long after, the field soldiers in single clothes began to carry things here like ants, and bundles of arrows were placed under the city wall near the stone staircase.

In less than a moment, the dull sound of footsteps sounded again, and the collision of moving armor could be faintly heard from time to time.

"stop!"

boom--

The army stopped again, seeing familiar or unfamiliar flags moving quickly. The flags of various colors changed their positions under the waving of the flag bearers, and the messenger riders ran in various formations, and soon the fortress was completely surrounded.

The big paper rolls unsteadily in the wind.

"Order each battalion to prepare for battle according to the advance instructions. Gao Shixuan, you lead the Western Army to press the formation behind. If there is an opportunity, you can decide whether to attack on your own. There is no need to report back."

The strong figure bowed his hands in a salute, reined in his horse and turned around, holding a spear in his hand. He shouted loudly, "Follow Sajia——", led three thousand capable soldiers and ran forward, standing in the middle of the army.

As for the entire Chinese army, there were horsemen delivering orders galloping through the gaps in the array, shouting loudly: "Command orders, all units are preparing to attack the city -"

The words were repeated, and the voices faded away. Figures suddenly stepped out and moved left and right to make room. As they walked, swords and shields occasionally collided. Amidst the banging sounds, people were running in the cracked corridor. A large number of people carrying wooden ladders People stepped forward, and with a creaking sound from behind, the ladder and the crash car with wooden wheels were also pushed up, and gradually moved forward.

"Send the order, break out the stronghold today, beat the drums to cheer -"

The rider galloped out.

Immediately, the drum cart at the rear moved forward. The bare-armed and shiny-skinned warriors swung the sledgehammer, and the war drums suddenly sounded. Amidst the passionate drumbeats, the siege sergeants took steps and rumbled towards the stronghold. The fort pressed past.

……

"Prepare……"

The sound of drums reached the wall of the village, and the figures of countless people swayed slightly. A man with little war experience swallowed hard, with a nervous expression on his face. The sword and shield soldiers adjusted their postures in front of the order, and the spearmen were in the rear. After setting up the gun, the archer began to prepare arrows while giving orders, adjusting his breathing, and someone's hand trembled slightly.

The young man named Xiao Li Guang touched the long bow in his hand and licked his bright red lips. Beyond his figure, behind him was a passage composed of military camps of the same size. The soldiers who failed to reach the wall were resting in the open space, ready to go up at any time. Former replacement.

The moment they heard the sound of the drums, many people raised their heads and looked at the figure adjusting on the wall, and a thought came to their mind: "Here we come!"

……

dong dong dong-

The sound of war drums sounded both inside and outside the city. Figures in crimson military uniforms rushed over fiercely. With the roar of footsteps, people holding large shields joined together, trying to shield their companions from the incoming arrows. Those who were hit by arrows screamed and fell to the ground, and then more people rushed forward. The archers among them would flash out from time to time, stop and fight back. Every time, they would be shot to the ground by the young bandits in silver armor with their bows drawn, and blood would flow out from under them.

The encirclement and execution array continued to approach the wall.

The rain of arrows fell from the sky almost continuously. The figure who rolled over and covered his shield kept repeating the cover action. At the moment of slight pause, the figure pushing the ladder and crashing the car mustered up the strength to run. On the way to the charge, the corpse hit by the arrow Continuing into a twisted dotted line.

"Vertical ladder! Quick--"

The moment they were close to the village wall, someone skillfully swung their arms, and a ladder was erected controlled by more than ten people. With a loud bang, the board hit the crenel, and the front end with hooks and nails smashed into the earth and stone with the force of downward pressure. Positively fixed.

Then more and more cloud ladders and wooden ladders came up against the city wall.

"Kill with me——"

The officers and generals on the front line roared, and the officers and soldiers holding swords and shields climbed up, looking like rising flames against the backdrop of their military uniforms.

"Prepare the rocket—"

Shan Shiqi's eyes were red with excitement. He looked at the officers and soldiers who were starting to climb up and suddenly shouted: "Shoot——"

The fire arrows fell downwards with an orange-red arc, and some unlucky ones were hit by them. They fell to the ground howling like ghosts and wolves, and kept rolling. More of them were stuck on the ground, wooden ladders and cloud ladders, and the flames were swaying weakly.

"Throw oil——"

Amidst the roar, someone stepped forward quickly, swung the rope in his hand with a whistling sound, and threw it hard. Within a few breaths, there was a crackling sound of broken porcelain, and then there was a bang and flames shot into the sky.

"what--"

"help me--"

The flames rose, and the sergeant on the wooden board of the ladder kept wailing. He was half-covered in oil and ran a few steps with his teeth and claws. Then his whole body was burned by the flames. He tilted and fell to the ground. He looked up at the sky feebly. As the fire slowly Slowly curl up.

The officers and soldiers rushing forward quickly stepped forward, collecting sand and soil under the rain of arrows, and kept pouring it on the burning siege equipment. However, soon, the sky darkened again for a moment, and the desperate eyes of the soldiers who raised their heads were filled with kerosene. jars were thrown onto the ladder.

Pong bang——

……

"The thief is so vicious!"

Xiang Yuanzhen's face was filled with shock and anger, and he looked at Mei Zhan, who also looked gloomy: "Such methods are definitely not available to ordinary people in the green forest."

"It was verified yesterday." Mei Zhan frowned and looked at the ladder that turned into a fireball, and took a breath: "It's troublesome. We have to use the wooden ladder to climb up like yesterday. I don't know how many people will die."

Xiang Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and nodded.

Soon, a military order was issued:

Continue to attack the stronghold!

　My body felt weak for a while, my mother, I felt that this attack was extraordinary. . . . . .

　　There should be another chapter later
