Volume 4 Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 53 Battle with Xiangyang (1)
On a starless and moonless night, more than a dozen feather arrows shot out from the darkness, as if they tore apart the darkness in front of them in an instant.
Arrows fall like rain
The soldiers stationed in Xiangyang City screamed again and again, and immediately fell down in large pieces
The sudden and violent rain of arrows immediately plunged the soldiers on duty into chaos. The guards at the east city gate where Lin Nan was located, where the city defense had just been replaced, were hit by a particularly dense rain of arrows. They were almost unprepared when they rained down like arrows. Even half of the guard, whose mind was still immersed in the dreamland just now, was immediately brought to the cruel reality by the severe pain that penetrated into the bone marrow.
Cold arrow clusters
Dark red blood
The world of iron and blood, the battlefield of conquest and conquest, finally at this moment, the sky and the earth were torn apart, revealing their true colors
Loud screams and frightened reports came one after another, the sound of chaotic footsteps, the sound of heavy breathing, the sound of swords being unsheathed, the sound of arrows leaving their strings, and the area around Xiangyang City that was peaceful and peaceful just now suddenly became chaotic. , messy, cold-blooded, ruthless
As the first wind lantern was shattered, Lin Nan quickly squatted down, crouching close to the wall and only half a step away. Behind him, a pitch-black feathered arrow pierced through an old man's back with a hiss. The old soldier groaned and was knocked to the ground, and blood immediately flowed down the arrow cluster. The old soldier's face turned pale, but he was very tough. He stood with two hands on one hand. He kicked off his legs and hid under the arrow stack. *
After closing his eyes and panting for a while, the old pawn gradually opened his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Nan looking at him. He couldn't help but grinned, and then he grinned because of the pain. He was so unlucky. , I felt so refreshed Hum Hmm" Then, he turned his gaze to the surroundings, and his eyes gradually became a little colder. But compared with them, I can be considered lucky, at least I still have him. The mother can live"
Lin Nan subconsciously followed the old soldier's gaze, and saw corpses lying in various directions on the wide road that had just been cleaned. Some of them were not completely dead, and their hands and feet were shaking slightly, but they could see that they could not survive. Dark red blood flowed from these bodies and soon soaked the blue-gray city bricks.
In the black night, no one dares to light extra lights. In such a situation, the bright light has no meaning and can only make it a target for the enemy. Looking down the city through the peephole on the wall bricks, I saw nothing but pitch black. It seemed that I couldn't tell where the enemy was coming from. But as my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, I could see some strange things: the land that used to be peaceful was now. But it seemed to be covered with a layer of skin. In the haze, there seemed to be countless black shadows sticking to the ground and moving quickly. These black shadows split apart one by one. For an instant, it seemed as if the earth had been cut into countless small pieces by a sharp knife. , each piece turned into a black-helmeted soldier, rushing toward the city gate.
The next moment, countless ferocious-looking soldiers appeared from the other side of the darkness.
Whoosh buzz
The air seemed to be torn apart, strong winds and thick and low tremors sounded, and the ballistas and bows and arrows on the city wall finally began to emit anger.
On the slightly indented corner platform on the city wall, there are six crossbow carts one after the other. Each powerful crossbow is accompanied by the crisp sound of the machine. Each powerful crossbow will bring a cloud of blood on the trajectory of the shot. The crossbows launched by Yu and the four men together were several times more powerful than the strong bows of ordinary soldiers. The rebel soldiers who rushed towards the city gate were pierced by the arrows of the crossbows without even the slightest pause. His body almost flew upside down from the ground, like a stone rolling down from the foot of a mountain. Along the way, he knocked away the sounds of broken bones and flesh and screams of countless soldiers. Even the guards far away on the city wall heard the unusually real and powerful crossbow arrows all the way. The castration continued, and a crossbow arrow penetrated three or four soldiers in a row, becoming a veritable gourd of flesh and blood.
Beside the arrow stack on the city wall, round after round of feathered arrows began to pour down the city. Compared with the rebels, the arrows fired by the defenders who had an advantage from top to bottom were obviously more powerful and caused more casualties.
However, more and more rebels emerged from the darkness. Going down through the peephole, almost everywhere was covered with dense crowds. The farther away they went, the more they gradually seemed to blend into the darkness, making it difficult to discern what was going on. How many soldiers were there? In comparison, although the guards who reacted in a hurry quickly recovered from the panic and confusion and started to join the battle, the soldiers on duty at the time of the battle were too few. Several hundred sentries were attacked by two rounds of arrows. After Yu's surprise attack, nearly half of them were injured almost immediately. Although he started to fight back hastily, in front of the black tide of rebels, the rain of arrows that fell was so sparse that it was almost pitiful.
Lin Nan bowed slightly, held the handle of the fuselage with his hands, put both feet on the trigger of the crossbow, and shot a crossbow arrow along the arrow mouth, immediately bringing down a group of rushing rebels. However, it didn't take long. QuickJust before Lin Nan's vision was closed, the rush of people filled in the traces of the crossbow arrow just now, as if there was no such arrow at all.
"Ahem, cough, cough." The old soldier next to him opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, moved his body and glanced into the peephole, and said, "You are raised by a dog, there are too many bastards If this continues we won't be able to see you." the sun¡±
Hearing this, Lin Nan turned around and looked around, where are the reinforcements? Not coming yet?
Huge banging and scraping sounds came from the outer wall. Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned his head to look out through the peephole. He suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he looked at it.
hanging ladder
Three hanging ladders were erected high out of the darkness. The front end had already been set up at the top of the city. The hanging ladders formed a gentle slope. As soon as they were set up in front of the head, dozens of agile rebels were already climbing up quickly below the hanging ladders. The few people in front of the soldiers held up round shields that could barely cover half of their bodies. They climbed quickly while dodging arrows shot from the city wall from time to time. At the east gate of Xiangyang City, on the three hanging ladders, in the blink of an eye, the rebels have climbed more than half way up. Looking at this moment, if no one stops them, the rebels will reach the top of the city.
????????????????????? A round shield protruded from the top of the leftmost city wall, and suddenly more than ten spears pierced it at the same time.
Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang
Dense sounds continued, and the guard who had been guarding the head of the hanging ladder charged up a blow. Although it did not hit the rebel behind the shield, the huge force impacted on the shield and immediately knocked the rebel vanguard. He took off his hands and flew out. No one looked at him again, because they were not allowed to look at one of the shields and was knocked down. Three or four shields were snatched up at the same time. A guard was distracted for a moment, and when the shield opened, suddenly in the gap Stretching out an arm, a bright sword flashed, and the guard's head suddenly flew up, and a stream of hot blood soared high, splashing all over the faces and bodies of the people around him.
Peng
A spear pierced diagonally, firmly and hard, and penetrated through the gap in the shield. Then he used a force to lift, and suddenly the three or four round shields rushing at the front were lifted up, and they were in the air. Before the rebel soldiers could recover, several spears were thrust out, and blood spurted out, and they quickly fell to the ground.
"You want to board the city from me? Are you looking for death?" Li Gan spat at the bottom of the city and waved the spear in his hand again. Immediately, several more rebels fell down the ladder.
Puffy
The fallen soldiers hit the hanging ladder in mid-air, knocking down more than a dozen crawling rebels. Like dumplings being dropped in mid-air, rebels continued to fall from the hanging ladder and hit the crowded crowd on the ground. Among them, they were immediately smashed to death and injured.
Seeing Li Gan's bravery, the morale of the surrounding soldiers was immediately boosted. Those who were trembling before were now covered in blood that didn't know where they came from. At the time of life and death, either you or I will die. Once the city is broken, it will be all When a person dies, his eyes are full of blood and sword light, and there are ferocious faces everywhere. Under the pressure of blood and death, the soldiers who were still a little confused gradually joined the battle group. First, although the hanging ladder on the left is critical, But still no one climbed to the top of the city
Whoosh
Several ropes were suddenly thrown up from the bottom of the hanging ladder in the middle. Amidst several shrill screams, the three guards guarding the top of the city flew into the air and were dragged out by the ropes from the middle of the city wall. The back of their heads and backs were dragged out by the ropes. There were several deep blood grooves on the upper body, and the bones were visible. The blood was pouring on both sides. The wounds were turned up on both sides, revealing the white flesh stubble.
Flying hook
Lin Nan didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly abandoned his sword, grabbed a scattered spear next to him, jumped up, and appeared on the top of the city wall. At the same time, two more guards appeared next to him, three people and three spears, and once again Blocking the gap of the guard who was dragged down the city wall by the flying hook just now
Almost at the moment Lin Nan had just filled the gap, three round shields had already rushed towards him. In the gap between the shield edges, two steel knives were handed over in the blink of an eye. A guard next to him was caught off guard, holding a spear. His wrist was immediately cut off to the point where he let out a miserable scream. Just halfway through his scream, his throat was slashed by a steel knife, and a stream of blood spurted out.
Puffy
The distance was too close. The spear in Lin Nan's hand retreated like lightning. He held the spear shaft and slammed it on the wall. In an instant, it was hard and accurate. The two rebels who had just put their hands on the city wall had no time to change their hands. The finger on the wall was suddenly smashed to pieces, and he screamed and fell down. Lin Nan followed closely and took two steps. The spear moved forward again like lightning, stretched out the edge of the wall and used it towards the bottom of the hanging ladder. He stabbed a few spears with all his strength, then quickly withdrew his body, rolled to the side, and hid under the low wall.
Whoosh
Just when Lin Nan had just withdrawn, several ropes flew up from below again. The sharp hooks of the cross were swinging in the air, and they were moving quickly towardsHe took it with him and immediately hooked four guards near the hanging ladder. At the critical moment, Lin Nan kicked off his legs and bounced up. He quickly dropped the spear in his hand, picked up the long knife and deflected in mid-air. The left hand clasped the protrusion at the inner corner of the city wall, and the right hand extended his arm to draw a huge arc, and swish hooked the straight rope that the guard was dragging downwards. It suddenly broke. The rebels below the hanging ladder used too much force. Suddenly he fell down and fell down. After several collisions, he knocked over many soldiers.
There was almost no gap. The moment Lin Nan had just cut off the flying hook rope, the rebel soldiers climbed up the hanging ladder below again. Without breathing or hesitation, Lin Nan once again abandoned the knife and grabbed the spear. , return and stab quickly
