Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 The Battle of Jianning ([-])

The battle on the wall.

Also because of the joining of the [-] barbarian army led by Ah Huinan, it gradually entered a fever pitch.

Time passed little by little.

The soldiers of the two armies who usually feel that time passes quickly, now feel that every moment, every minute, every second, is so long and so painful.

Under the city wall, there was also a layer of corpses, some from the barbarian army, and some from the city defenders.

The barbarian army tried to climb the city wall one after another, but the guards fought hard to prevent the barbarian army from climbing the city wall.

puff~~
Holding the saber in his hand, Liu Cong cut the throat of a barbarian who was trying to climb the city wall.

The barbarian fell from the top of the city wall with his eyes wide open, dying with regret.

Now Liu Cong was covered in blood, even his dark face was stained with a lot of blood. He didn't remember how many barbarian soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall had been beheaded.

The city guards around him had changed several times.

Even his breathing has become much faster. It is obvious that after fighting for a long time, swinging the sword down, and repeating it, he has already felt a little numb.

Turning his head to look to the side, that was where Jiang Wan was.

Jiang Wan's current situation is not much better, it should be said that it is worse and more embarrassing than Liu Cong.

Liu Cong's breathing quickened, it was just tired.

However, Jiang Wan's current image does not have the image of a scribe, with a lot of blood stains all over his body, messy hair, panting, as if he could run out of strength and collapse at any time.

After all, he exists as a counselor, and his force value is not high. If Liu Cong had not asked two generals to guard him, they might have been cut down.

"General, all the stones prepared on the city wall have been used up!" A soldier came to Liu Cong's side and cupped his hands.

Liu Cong also came back to his senses.

After a glance, he saw that there were no more stones on the passage, and the stones that had been prepared earlier were completely consumed in order to defend the city.

As for the archers, they had already dropped their longbows and put on other weapons and stood by the city wall to fight. After such a long time, all the arrows of the archers were shot out, and even the barbarians shot at the city wall. On top of that, the arrows inserted everywhere were also pulled out by the archers and used up.

For the stone is consumed.

Liu Cong also felt very helpless. This was missing a sharp weapon for defending the city. As a result, this defense battle was even more unfavorable for their side.

He also didn't expect that Meng Huo, the barbarian king, would be so crazy that he would let tens of thousands of troops attack non-stop without even having time to rest. Regardless of the casualties, he wanted to take Jianning City in one battle.

"Go down!" Liu Cong waved his hand.

There is nothing he can do now, and it is impossible for him to conjure up a pile of stones and arrows in an instant.

"promise!"

The soldier also bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left, he was just reporting to work, as for the others, that!

Wait for the soldier to leave.

Liu Cong also rejoined the battle circle. Although there are no such defensive weapons as stones and arrows, the city still needs to be defended, and it is not his choice to sit and wait for death.

under the city walls.

The barbarians who were attacking the city didn't see the stones thrown from the city wall or the arrows fired for a while, and they understood that they should be exhausted.

"Rush up, the first person to climb up the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold rewards!" Ah Hui murmured.

He also knew that now was the best time to attack the city wall, so he gave the order without hesitation, stimulating the soldiers with heavy rewards.

really.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

After a long time of siege, the soldiers of the barbarian army, who were already a little tired, seemed to have infinite strength pouring out of their bodies when they heard Ah Huinan's words. There is a golden mountain waiting for them to dig.

Morale also recovered.

The absence of falling stones and arrows also relieved the pressure on the barbarian soldiers. They did not need to pay attention to falling stones and arrows while climbing.

The speed of climbing was also significantly accelerated.

The defenders on the city wall had no choice but to forcefully push down the ladder to stop the time for the barbarians to climb up the city.

However, that is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

As long as the siege ladder is not rotten, the fallen ladder will soon be erected by the barbarian soldiers on the edge of the city wall, and continue to climb the ladder, intending to climb the city.

Slowly, time passed little by little.

Without the two major defensive weapons of stones and arrows, the barbarian soldiers who have been stunned by the heavy rewards still break through the city wall from time to time.

At this time, Liu Cong did not continue to stay in one place to fight.

Instead, he led dozens of soldiers, just like firefighters. When the barbarian soldiers broke through there, he led dozens of soldiers to kill them, and cut down all the barbarian soldiers who had climbed the city wall to the ground.

The battle that has been going on until now is also very tragic.

The soldiers of the barbarian army climbed up the city wall regardless of life and death for the reward; the soldiers of the city guard fought hard to prevent the barbarian army from climbing the city wall.

A wave of barbarians rushed up the city wall, and before they could gain a firm foothold, they were surrounded by the red-eyed guards and chopped into pieces.

To stand firm.

The defenders of the city also paid a lot of price.

From time to time, some city guards could be seen, even if their chests were pierced by a sharp knife, they still hugged the two barbarian soldiers and jumped down from the city wall.

above the city wall.

Now it can be said that there are blood and flesh flying everywhere.

When two armies meet, either you will die or I will die. No one will hold back anything, and the sharp blades in their hands will all go towards the other party's vital points.

A layer of corpses was spread in the passage of the city wall, including those of the barbarian soldiers and the city defenders.

Hot blood flowed everywhere in the passage of the city wall, seeping into the stones.

When one person falls, another person will catch up.

At this time, the advantage of the barbarian army's large number of people has also been brought into play, and there is an endless supply of supplements.

However, the number of guards and soldiers on the side of the city is getting smaller and smaller. When the arrows and stones are exhausted and have not been replenished, relying on the advantage of the city wall, there are not many left.

On the city wall, it also turned into a melee, fighting everywhere.

Faced with wave after wave of barbarian soldiers coming up.

The defenders of the city were neither afraid nor backed down, they swung their sharp blades that were stained with countless blood, and charged forward to fight.

The soldiers of the two armies also fell one by one and piled up on the passage of the city wall.

The sun hanging high above the sky seemed to be invisible, and it was about to set from the west.

forging~~
At this time, a gong sounded.

The soldiers of the barbarian army who were still under the city wall also retreated one after another, and the soldiers of the barbarian army who had already climbed the ladder also climbed down the ladder and did not continue to climb the city.

The barbarian soldiers on the city wall also left one after another, and quickly climbed down from the ladder built on the side of the city wall.

I see.

The barbarian army 500 meters away had already turned around and headed for the barbarian army camp three miles away, apparently about to withdraw.
