Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 222 Resisting the Next Wave

"click"

More than 300 continuous crossbows shot continuously, and the arrows splashed out like rain. Even the wrestlers protected their bodies with corpses or shields, but under the huge impact, they were shot back again and again. Of course, many of them were exposed. It was the first time Abtus had seen such an extravagant battle scene.

"The man with the arrow is faster"

"When you see the flying hammer, pay attention to dodge"

Sun Xiangfu's voice kept roaring on the battlefield. Although he was commanding from the rear, he consumed more energy than the guards who shot and killed the enemy in front.

The Turkic people were repelled by the rain of arrows again. However, at this time, there was the sound of weapons colliding on the city wall.

"what happened."

Seeing Tang Fengyi running down the city wall in a hurry, Sun Xiangfu grabbed him and asked.

"The Turkic people suppressed the city wall with bows and arrows, and some people climbed up with flying claws and ropes. The city wall is not safe. These civilians don't even have weapons. Staying on it is death."

Sun Xiangfu was very anxious when he heard that the Turkic people were able to climb the city wall, which is troublesome. You must know that the other three gates were guarded by fifty soldiers from the Unity Battalion. The soldiers on the east gate, plus Wang Xu There are less than 300 people, including casualties, it is estimated that there are less than [-] people now, and most of them have consumed more than half of their arm strength due to continuous bow and arrow shooting. These hundreds of people can only guard a short section of the city wall, and there will be more Turkic people who can climb up continuously, and the city wall is worrying.

Tuli asked his subordinates to give up their horses and climb the city wall, which Sun Xiangfu did not expect. At present, although the casualties of the Turkic people are far greater than those of the Tang army, it is useless to worry.

"My lord, let the guards go up the city wall! Now only we have the strength to fight the Turks."

Zhang Ke, who was not far from Sun Xiangfu, heard Tang Fengyi's words and said proactively.

Let the guards with the strongest physical fitness easily pull the trigger at the city gate and kill the enemy with a continuous crossbow. Save your energy as much as possible."

Zhang Ke took the order and yelled, and more than a hundred guards in iron armor followed him. Immediately, there were only some craftsmen of Sun's residence left on the fortification.

"Old Tang, I don't care what method you use. In the time of a cup of tea, teach these peasants how to use the continual crossbow, put the arrows in the box, and send all the remaining continual crossbows to their hands."

In front of the defensive fortifications that could only barely suppress the Turkic soldiers who kept rushing in, because one-third of the most skilled crossbowmen were taken away, the shooting density suddenly weakened a lot, and the people in the city gate were killed again. At this time, Sun Xiangfu didn't care about any danger, grabbed the crossbow himself, rushed to the bunker, and started shooting at the Turkic soldiers who rushed in.

On the city wall, Wang Xu never felt that his halberd was so heavy. In fact, the weight of the weapons used for fighting in the battle should be moderate, so that the battle can last longer. His halberd is relatively heavy and is only suitable for one-on-one , although wielding it to kill people is quick, but it consumes too much energy too quickly.

In a basketball game in the later generations, it would be difficult for a professional athlete with plenty of physical strength to go on the court to fight against each other, and it would be difficult for people in this period to fight with all their strength. Normal people are usually vigorous and stronger in the first ten minutes or so. , can persist for half an hour, the war scenes in those novels where you swing a knife for several hours are basically deceiving, let alone life and death. A ten-pound armor, wielding a ten-pound sword, allows you to run or jump empty-handed, and you can watch it for hours.

Therefore, soon, Wang Xu's combat effectiveness became almost the same as that of ordinary people. While being forced back again and again by the Turkic soldiers, his guards began to die in large numbers. When Zhang Ke arrived with his men, Wang Xu's side Together with the soldiers of the Unity Battalion, there are less than 200 people.

"You go down and rest, leave this place to us."

Zhang Ke held a crossbow in his left hand and a long knife with a magical pattern in his right. After rushing over, he slashed at the Turkic soldiers. After all, they had undergone more than a year of intensive training. Under favorable conditions, it is very easy to kill Turkic soldiers.

Seeing the corpses thrown down from the city wall, Tu Li was heartbroken. Thousands of his subordinates had died in the siege battle in less than an hour, yet he still hadn't captured the city. Could it be that the defenders in the city a lot of?After a few more hours of fighting like this, he would become a polished commander.

At this time, his character flaws were exposed, he was indecisive, and he didn't dare to let go. This is also the reason why he was gradually turned from defeat to victory by Xieli when he had the advantage, and finally defeated. Li, in character, is much tougher than Tuli.

"Blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops."

Seeing that hundreds of soldiers who climbed the city wall were killed by more than 100 armored guards, and even the flying claws that climbed the city wall were cut off, Tuli gave the order unwillingly, but he didn't know that if he could lead If the last few elite thousand-man teams of his own join the battlefield, Mayi City will really be broken.

"Woo, woo~"

Several ox horns were sounded, and the Turkic people nested in the city gate and the city wall receded like a tide. On the city wall, Zhang Ke, whose arms were sore, sat down on the ground, and turned to look at the city that was about to bottom out. Sun Xiangfu of the arrow box breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Tuli persisted for another quarter of an hour, Mayicheng would really be over. However, at this time, he chose to give up.

"Quickly, collect the arrows and carry the wounded down for treatment"

I don't know if Tuli outside the city will attack the city again. Sun Xiangfu didn't miss any opportunity. Under his yelling, the peasants quickly cleaned up the city gate.

In the Sun Mansion, Yu Xiu'er felt relieved when she heard that the shouts of killing on the city had stopped. If the Turkic people entered the city, the burning, killing and looting would probably start, and it would definitely not be so quiet.

"Miss, why don't I go to the city wall to find my uncle! Bring him food." Chuntao suggested, in fact, like Yu Xiuer, she wanted to know if Sun Xiangfu was injured, after all, it was a battlefield.

"I'll go too, I'll go too, the place is chaotic, it's not safe for you to go alone." Hongmei said as if she could protect Chuntao, and stepped forward.

"You two, stop arguing, the three of us go together! By the way, bring some food and broth to the soldiers defending the city." Naturally, Yu Xiu'er wanted to know whether Sun Xiangfu was injured at the first time, but she knew As my husband, his literary talents are not bad, but his military strength is not worth mentioning.

When the three of them arrived at the east gate with a large group of maids and servants from the Sun residence, nearly half an hour had actually passed. After all, it was not so fast to prepare food for so many people. Seeing Sun Xiangfu who was cleaning up the gate of the city by the civilian husband, Yu Xiu'er was immediately relieved.

Chewing the noodle cakes and drinking the broth from his wife, watching Tuli outside the city counting his family members with a sad face, Sun Xiangfu did not feel the joy after the victory, because he knew the actual situation in the city. Tuli didn't leave, he was collecting supplies and organizing the next attack.

And on both sides of the main road in the city, there are hundreds of corpses placed there, among them, there are more than [-] guards who have protected him day and night for more than a year.

Then, the intermittent flickering flames in the distance made him look happy, and the guard's telescope quickly caught it in that direction, and soon, he came to Sun Xiangfu's side, whispering.

At this moment, Sun Xiangfu wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't laugh in the face of so many brothers' corpses. Now, he realized the emotions expressed in a popular song from later generations, and hummed in a sad tone involuntarily.

"It's the third watch in the middle of the night, looking forward to the dawn, and the twelfth lunar month in the cold winter, looking forward to the spring breeze.

If you want to see it, Tang Jun will come, and the mountains will be full of Yingshanhong.

Azalea blooms all over the mountain"

Sun Xiangfu, whose voice had already been hoarse, sang the first stanza very sadly. However, after seeing groups of Turkic cavalry outside the city, his voice became more high-pitched. The joyful mood, as if Tang Jun is really coming.

Tuli's men and horses were collecting cowhide and boards as quickly as possible, and the bodies were the corpses of fallen soldiers, which were used as shields to block crossbow arrows. Their next wave of attacks was about to begin soon.
