Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 187 Lower Beizhou ([-])
The king who proclaimed himself Emperor Wulie of Anyang always felt a little uneasy on the tower in the south city.Today, when the army attacked, many fires were ignited, and the smoke was released. Although it was not as thick as the black smoke floating from the north, it still made it difficult to see the distribution of troops in the city. This was a rare situation in the past.Just because he couldn't see the specific deployment of the officers and soldiers, although he noticed that the officers and soldiers who attacked the city were somewhat half-hearted, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, because who knew if this was deliberately paralyzing himself?Moreover, the officers and soldiers dug tunnels under the city. I didn't know where they dug. Who knows if some officers and soldiers will suddenly emerge from the ground.

The black smoke from the northern city suddenly faded a lot. He came to the north side of the city tower and looked over. He was too far away to see the situation clearly, but he seemed to be able to see the flames.He had no choice but to order his followers: "Send someone to ask about the situation in Beicheng."

"Yes." The subordinate took the order, and sent someone to inquire after going down the tower.Not long after, someone ran up the city wall panting and shouted: "Report! The North City is in crisis, and the enemy rushed to the city wall. The Taiwei was seriously injured by an arrow. Let me wait to come and ask for reinforcements."

Wang Ze hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

The reporter said: "The enemy used thick smoke as a cover, pushed the wooden building under the city wall, and lowered the wooden bridge to let people rush up the city wall. Moreover, the wooden building was higher than the city wall, and the crossbowmen shot arrows from a high position. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. Too The lieutenant led the charge himself, and was shot by the enemy's crossbowmen. He was in danger. Please send troops to reinforce it quickly, otherwise we will not be able to defend."

Wang Ze was furious and asked, "Why didn't you set fire to the wooden building?"

"The wooden building is still ten feet away from the city wall, and the oil bottle must be exposed. The enemy has many bows and crossbows, and most of the brothers who threw the oil bottle were killed or injured. Although a few wooden buildings were set on fire, there are too many wooden buildings. And the enemy The ladders are coming up again, and more people have rushed up the city wall."

Wang Ze stomped his feet angrily, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take people with him to Beicheng for reinforcements.When he was about to go down the city tower, he suddenly heard the deafening sound of war drums from the south, and the officers and soldiers cheered like a tsunami.He leaned over the arrow window and saw a few large flags faintly unfurled in the smoke. Although the words on the flags were too far away to see clearly, he knew from experience that it was the command flag of the chief general of the army.

At this time, the flag of life is unfolded, which means that the master will personally supervise the formation and is ready to start the real attack.Judging by the height and number of those life flags, it seems that the commanders of the army are all there.Does this mean...

The new emperor hesitated.He didn't know how many tunnels he dug under his feet, and he didn't know where he dug them. He always felt unsafe.In the end, he left half of the people in the south city, and only brought half of the mobile force to reinforce the north city.

North City.

Although the oil bottles and torches thrown by the defenders ignited some of the buildings, it would take some time for all the buildings to burn, and the crossbowmen on the buildings continued to shoot at the defenders in the city.Coupled with the constant arrows coming from the city like migratory locusts, many people had no chance to throw the oil bottle on the building.Moreover, when Tianqiao put down the first time the officers and soldiers rushed out of the building car, they used tomahawks and javelins to cut a foothold on the city wall, and then immediately spread out one by one along the city wall to both sides.Then more melee infantry came out of the building cars, rushed across the overpass and jumped onto the city wall to join the fight.

At the same time, when the building car attracted most of the attention of the defenders, the ladders of the officers and soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and more and more officers and soldiers swarmed up.

While Wang Ze was still hesitating, Du Meng saw that the number of brothers on the city wall was decreasing, and the officers and soldiers had already controlled several sections of the city wall, so he knew that it was a critical moment of life and death.With the help of others, he put on another armor, holding a shield in his left hand, holding a copper hammer in his right hand, and shouted to the brothers gathered around him: "Brothers, you can't let the officers and soldiers rush up, that way Everyone has to die! These days, everyone enjoys food, drinks and hot food to live a happy life, and it is enough for you. Today, even if you give up your life, I will kill the officers and soldiers with me!" After shouting, he rushed to the officers and soldiers immediately .

The people behind also shouted "Kill", and immediately followed him and rushed towards the officer.

In front of him, a defender wearing only a silk jacket was hacked to death on the ground, revealing an officer holding a shield. Du Meng immediately swung his copper hammer and smashed it.The officer heard the heavy wind and quickly raised his shield to cover it, but the shield couldn't resist the heavy lever weapon, and with a click, the shield fell down.Du Meng took advantage of the momentum and swung the copper hammer. The copper hammer just swept across the officer's helmet, and the officer flew out obliquely.

Du Meng immediately swung the copper hammer and rushed to the officers and soldiers in front. The copper hammer was covered with blood and brains.The crossbowman on a building car in the distance spotted them and kept shooting arrows at them. While carrying a shield to cover the crossbow, Du Meng relied on two layers of armor to fight to be hacked and stabbed by a knife, but he just blocked them. The officers and soldiers in front of them smashed all the way.Such a desperate way of fighting made the officers and soldiers facing him terrified and retreated again and again.

Taking him as the spearhead, a group of veterans of the Xuan Yi Army behind them finally took back a section of the city wall that was controlled by the official army.However, the continuous shooting of the crossbowmen on the building carts parked in front of the city wall also killed several of them.Du Meng was furious, and was about to jump onto the overpass and rush to the building car, but at this time another army of officers rushed over from the city wall, so he had to turn around to deal with it.

This army was very different from the one just now. There were shields in front and spearmen in the back. They kept a neat four-way column as they advanced, making Du Meng immediately aware of the threat.

When he turned around and jumped off the female wall and returned to the top of the city, several veterans of the Xuan Yi Army had already died at the hands of these officers and soldiers.He saw with his own eyes that a brother was hit in the chest by a javelin just as he separated from a spear.The armor at such a short distance can hardly resist the steel javelin, and the javelin passes directly through the chest.

When another veteran slashed at the officer's shieldman with his axe, two long spears stabbed at him from left and right, and he retreated quickly.But the shield-hands of the officers and soldiers rushed forward like a shadow, and the tomahawk struck him head-on. The veteran quickly blocked it with the handle of the axe, but two spears pierced him again, one sliced ​​open his face, and the other pierced his lower abdomen. Although it might not be able to completely tear off the armor, it pushed him back.At this time, another spear stabbed at him, and the two spears used force at the same time to pick up the old soldier and throw him out of the city wall.

Seeing his old brothers die tragically one after another, Du Meng was so anxious that his blood rushed upwards, he raised his copper hammer and rushed over with a strange cry.On the opposite side was also a shield player, who struck with a battle ax first, and Du Peng slammed it hard with a copper hammer, and the officer's battle ax flew to nowhere.But before Du Meng swung the copper hammer down, the heavy sound of breaking wind made him quickly hide his head and shrink his neck while covering it with a shield.With a bang, a javelin slid from the surface of the shield and flew.

Du Meng was about to attack on his side, but a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. He quickly knocked away the stabbing spear with a hammer, and at the same time felt a heavy blow on his leg.Although a spear didn't completely pierce the armor, it tore off a few pieces of armor, causing his leg to suffer from a severe pain.Just as he was trying to stand still, the shield bearer who lost his battle ax suddenly rushed over with his shield and bumped into his shield, knocking him to the edge of the city wall.

He huddled behind his shield and waited for a chance to strike, but a spear went sideways into his armpit. It didn't penetrate the heavy armor, but the blow almost took his breath away.

Another long spear was inserted under his leg, and with the combined force of the two long spears and the shield hand, Du Meng turned over and fell out of the city wall.

The city wall is three or four feet high, Du Meng thought to himself when he fell: It's over, I'm going to die.
