Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 328 Lu Zhihai's Last Stand

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—" Arrows rained down like rain.

The rebel army seemed to have sent all the archers to the foot of the city wall to shoot arrows at the city wall. The dense rain of arrows even surpassed the rain of arrows shot by the Liaoyang defenders on the city wall for a short time.

All of a sudden, he really shot and killed many Liaoyang defenders.

One after another, the defenders who were shot by arrows were carried down the city wall by medical staff for treatment.

In the center of Liaoyang City, there is the first real hospital in the Tang Dynasty, and there are a large number of doctors trained by the Blue Dragon Medical College. Every injured soldier will receive timely treatment here.

The eldest grandson Lanxin personally took care of the wounded soldiers with the doctors of Zhangjingyuan Medical College.

As long as they don't die on the city wall on the spot, most of the soldiers can be rescued.

Because of the timely treatment, the number of Liaoyang defenders who died directly in battle was not many, and most of them were minor or serious injuries.Perfect medical security keeps the morale of the defenders high as ever.

Even if the anti-army suddenly launched the craziest attack on the city, once he managed to kill the city wall, but he only lasted for more than [-] breaths before he was violently killed by the Liaoyang defenders on the city wall.

These days, Lin Shiyue occasionally visits the city wall to boost morale.

It has to be said that a woman who can stand on her own has a strong heart.Lin Shiyue also personally stabbed to death two rebel soldiers who climbed up the city wall with a sword. At that time, her beautiful eyes trembled, but her face was not as pale as the other soldiers who killed for the first time.

The morale of the Liaoyang defenders is as high as ever, no matter how desperate the rebels attack the city, it will not help.

After the rebellious and crazy siege of the rebel army lasted for about an hour, news finally came.

"Your Excellency led the army across the sea to attack Pingzhou City successfully. Now Pingzhou City and the entire Pinglu Road have been swept away by Your Excellency. Even Liaoxi City and Yingzhou City have been recovered by Your Excellency. The rebels in the city can't escape!" Zhang Zhang Said overjoyed.

"Hahahaha, my lord is mighty! No wonder the anti-army suddenly attacked the city so desperately. It seems that they want to fight with their backs and break through Liaoyang City before the army's iron cavalry encircle and threaten you." Yuan Kui was also overjoyed, and directly said his anti- The reason why Jun suddenly became crazy and desperate.

"You two generals, since your husband has succeeded in fighting against the army and trapped beasts, then we don't need to hide it. We should forcefully destroy the last madness of the anti-army!" Lin Shiyue said with a smile on her face.

"Yes, ma'am!" Zhang Shuo and Yuan Kui bowed their hands towards Lin Shiyue.

Originally, in order not to scare away Lu Zhihai's rebellion, the defense of Liaoyang City did not use all means.Not only was the bed crossbow used to fire the giant arrows of explosives put away, but the thunderbolts were also useless.

Soon, a bed crossbow was carried onto the city wall again, and boxes of Thunderbolt bombs were also carried onto the city wall.

More archers also boarded the city wall and shot arrows down the city wall.

The god arm crossbow is complex in craftsmanship, expensive to manufacture, and has a limited lifespan, so the original guards did not use it much. This time, a large number of archers who came up this time are all god arm crossbows.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…

Shooting down from the heights of the city wall, at a distance of only tens of meters, the arrows of the god arm crossbow even directly penetrated the shields used by the rebels to protect their archers, shooting and killing the rebel archers behind.

"Puff, puff——" Under the city wall, groups of anti-army archers fell to the ground with arrows.

In an instant, there were many gaps in the anti-army archers.

The Liaoyang defenders on the city wall continued to use a large number of god-armed crossbows and ordinary arrows to rain arrows.

"Hey——" Thunderbolt bombs were also taken out of the box, and the fuzes were ignited.

"Still!" The thunderbolt was thrown from the city wall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The thunderbolt thrown on the city wall exploded.

Although the power of this thunderbolt is limited due to the filling of black powder and craftsmanship, but for a thunderbolt weighing four or five catties, the gunpowder alone contains almost two catties, and its power is at least no worse than that of later generations of grenades.

When a thunderbolt was thrown under the ladder, it first hit the head of a rebel soldier under the ladder, and then fell to the ground and exploded.

There was a loud bang, the fire was shrouded in thick smoke, the bottom of the ladder was blown off, and a large number of rebel soldiers gathered under the ladder were overturned by the blazing waves.

The wounded rebel soldiers lay on the ground rolling and crying.

One or two thunderbolt bombs were thrown down each ladder, and all the ladders of the rebels were blown up in an instant, and nearly a thousand rebel soldiers were killed and wounded.

Without the ladder, most of the rebels' offensive against Liaoyang City disappeared.

At this time, dozens of bed crossbows were also ready to move onto the city wall.

"Whoa! Whoa!" A giant arrow tied with explosives was fired, and flew to a place tens of meters away where there were many anti-army archers.

"Boom boom boom—" The giant arrow first penetrated the bodies of some unlucky rebel soldiers, and then the explosives tied to it exploded.

Not only the giant arrow was blown to pieces, but also the body of the rebel soldier pierced by the giant arrow was also blown into pieces, and the other rebel archers beside him were also blown up.

Dozens of huge bed crossbow arrows tied with explosives exploded one after another.

Hundreds of anti-army archers were overturned by the blazing waves generated by the explosion, and the injured anti-army archers rolled and howled.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The twelve cannons on the city wall also fired one after another, bombarding the densest rebel gathering within 800 meters.

Every solid cannonball is like a god of death, rampaging to create "blood paths" full of stumps and broken arms.

Under the strong attack of Liaoyang City cannons, bed crossbows, thunderbolts, and god arm crossbows, not only all the ladders and ramming vehicles of the rebel army were destroyed, but thousands of dead and injured rebel soldiers lay under the city wall.

At least [-] wounded anti-army soldiers rolled and wailed on the ground together. The gathered wailing made even the soldiers of the Anton army on the city wall feel their scalps go numb.The other rebel soldiers who belonged to the same camp as these injured and howling rebel soldiers were even more frightened, with their eyes wide open, their faces terribly defeated, and their bodies trembling.

At this moment, the rebels' crazy attack on Liaoyang City seemed to have completely disappeared and stopped instantly, and no more rebel arrows shot at the city wall of Liaoyang City.The anti-army soldiers even retreated spontaneously in fear, never daring to approach the walls of Liaoyang City.

However, as long as they have not retreated to 800 meters, they are still within the strike range of the twelve cannons.

Wherever the fleeing rebel soldiers were concentrated, the muzzles of the twelve cannons were aimed at that place to fire.

The solid cannonballs continued to create 'bloody roads' full of limbs and arms, increasing the fear of the fleeing rebel soldiers and making them retreat even more desperately.
