Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 54: Battle with Xiangyang (2)
There were two more loud crashes. Lin Nan glanced around in his busy schedule, only to see two more hanging ladders on the left and right sides.
Five hanging ladders
Lin Nan¡¯s mind buzzed
With only three hanging ladders, the East City Gate is already stretched thin. Now that the opponent has erected two more hanging ladders, can the East City Gate still be able to defend it?
The round shield sank with great force and collided head-on from bottom to top. Lin Nan tilted the spearhead and slipped. The huge force of the shock made Lin Nan's wrists tingle. At the same time, the three people beside him The guards all leaned back and took a step back.
Before anyone could regain their strength, someone put a hand on the city wall, flipped it over, and jumped up.
The big man, who was as strong as an iron tower, threw out the round shield, then drew out a long knife and slashed at Lin Nan like a mad tiger. Lin Nan quickly swung the spear pole and raised his hands horizontally. Just hearing a click, the tiger's mouth of Lin Nan's hands suddenly shattered. A pair of arms could hardly lift the spear shaft, which was as thick as a child's arm. When the strong man slashed at it, it broke from the middle and divided into two parts. The man's sword power did not decrease, and he watched The blade struck Lin Nan's door.
At the critical moment, half a foot away from the ground, a spear suddenly stabbed diagonally, directly between the crotch and crotch of the strong man. The tip of the spear penetrated the flesh. In the busy schedule, the strong man twisted his thigh. , blocked this tricky spear with his flesh and blood, avoiding the bad luck of being picked on the crotch and crotch. Due to the pain, he was slightly distracted, and the long knife in the strong man's hand moved slightly slowly, Lin Nan turned back He rolled once, rolled twice, and narrowly avoided the blade.
With half of the arrow shaft stuck in his back, an old soldier with a pale face was sitting on the edge of the pile, holding a spear in his hand and smiled at Lin Nan, "You are damn lucky."
Before he finished speaking, the strong man became angry with shame. He roared and slashed with all his strength with his long sword. The four surrounding spears were immediately swung away. The strong man stretched out his arms and made a flat stroke with the long sword, shining at the base of the wall. The old soldier was beheaded. At the same time, three more rebels came up on the hanging ladder behind the strong man in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the people in front of them ascending to the top of the city, the morale of the rebels below was immediately boosted. A thunderous roar sounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami, which scared the timid guards at the top of the city to the point of trembling with fear.
At the critical moment of life and death, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a strong will. He shook his arms back and forth to soothe his blood, and then picked up a scattered spear. When he probed the spearhead, the force was everywhere, and a golden sound was heard. wind
Danglanglanglang
The tip of the spear hit the handle of the knife hard, and a hoarse and uncomfortable grinding sound came, making everyone feel numb. Lin Nan gritted his teeth, flipped the handle yin and yang, and screamed with both arms. , the spearhead immediately turned around like a living dragon, swinging and poking, piercing the strong man's throat. At the same time, after the old soldier at the wall used the spear shaft to hold the strong man's blade, he actually abandoned the spear in his hand and stretched out his hands. , and grabbed the strong man's wrist. The strong man put his hands into his arms. The old soldier used his strength to push on the ground and stood up directly from the ground. At the same time, he clasped his hands and crossed his legs, and actually pulled the strong man's arms. Han's hands were firmly locked in his arms
Seeing Lin Nan's spear stabbing him, it was too late to hide. The strong man's eyes were about to burst, and a shocking roar burst out from his chest. His arms shook, and the old soldier's hands were shaken loose. , then the big man clasped the old soldier's waist with both hands, pinched and lifted him, and at the critical moment, he blocked the old soldier's back out of thin air.
Poof
The sound of spearhead entering flesh
Lin Nan only felt the tip of the spear sinking, but unexpectedly, it was the back of the old soldier guarding the city that was hit. A burst of blood suddenly spurted out, and Lin Nan almost shattered his steel teeth. The old soldier took one spear, and his body suddenly trembled. Trembling, but then he pounced on him again, holding the strong man's head in his arms, and at the same time wrapping his legs tightly around the strong man's chest and abdomen.
In an instant, the old soldier didn't say a word, or even turned around, but with just two movements between life and death, Lin Nan behind him clearly understood that the old soldier in front was already holding the hope of death. Heart, vow to return with the enemy
Lin Nan's heart was bleeding when he saw it, but the reality made him not hesitate at all. He raised his arms, and the spear shaft that had already penetrated the old soldier's body suddenly thrust forward again, and the spear tip was more than half a foot like a poisonous snake. Generally speaking, the thick bloody air came out from the old soldier's chest and instantly penetrated the strong man's choked throat. It even continued to penetrate the strong man's neck directly, and fiercely penetrated the strong man's neck. Nailed on the brick joints of the city wall
As if frozen, the strong man's eyes widened, as if he was afraid of what was happening, but the hands holding the old soldier tightly slowly lost strength The old soldier's body hung on the spear shaft, slowly After falling to the ground, Lin Nan looked down subconsciously, only to see the old soldier's blood-gourd-like face suddenly broke out into a grin.You put on a sincere smile, you kid, you are so damnmother" Before he finished speaking, the body of the strong man fell down like a mountain, and with a roar, the last half of the old pawn's words were swallowed up. Lin Nan closed his eyes: I have no time to see you off after you leave.
¡¡¡¡
On the hanging ladder at the top of the city wall, densely packed rebel soldiers were squirming like ants towards the city wall. In addition to the three people who jumped on the city wall first, four or five more rebel soldiers had jumped up at this moment. Although he was still fighting to the death with his spear, the look of panic inevitably appeared on his face again.
At the critical moment, Lin Nan quickly wiped away the sadness in his heart, gripped the spear shaft and drew it back. It was still unclear whether it was a strong man or an old soldier. The tip of the spear suddenly turned over, with a fierce momentum that moved forward. , suddenly pierced into the crowd
Three of the six or seven rebels have lost their shields, two are holding knives, and one has picked up a spear on the ground. They are dancing almost crazily to kill the guards at the top of the city. More than ten guards are surrounding them and are eating this momentum. However, these rebels briefly gained the upper hand. At this moment, like a flying dragon from outside the sky, a bloody spear tip protruded from the guard's arsenal. Like an evil dragon from hell, it struck three times in succession. The heads of the three rebels were immediately lifted up into the sky one after another. The blood spurted out like an underground spring, splashing all over their bodies and faces.
The sudden change made all the guards feel refreshed, as if they had found a backbone. They all shouted in unison, and several spears were stabbed like a forest, and four more rebels were immediately picked off.
Lin Nan twisted his body and kept moving. He was like a leopard in a pack of wolves. He kept spitting out the spear in his hand, and blood was shed with every blow. The rebels who had just rushed to the city had not yet waited for their body to stand firm. , and was killed by this crazy tiger attack again.
After one round, everyone gasped for breath. Perhaps because he had been too brave just now, a small gap was intentionally or unintentionally given up around Lin Nan's body, and all the guards seemed to be moving closer to Lin Nan subconsciously.
Taking advantage of this precious opportunity, Lin Nan quickly glanced at both sides. The hanging ladder he was on was located in the middle, and there were two rebel hanging ladders on the left and right at the top of the city. At this time, near the hanging ladder on the left, Li Gan's thundering shouts were still full of energy. It seemed that there was no danger for the time being. On the right, one of the hanging ladders had been cut off by a guard for some unknown reason. The head of the ladder fell three feet off the wall, but it no longer posed the slightest threat. The other remaining hanging ladder, At this time, a fierce battle was also going on
The situation seems to be getting better
But Lin Nan, even though the rebels were beaten down, the offensive on the hanging ladder has not stopped at all. As long as there is an oversight, the opponent can still climb to the top of the city again in an instant.
Reinforcements
Where are the reinforcements?
On the military roads on the left and right sides, there was suddenly a burst of heavy and dense footsteps.
Everyone turned their heads almost subconsciously, and then breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.
On the left, Zhang Zhong, the commander of the capital, hurriedly came with two hundred soldiers. On the right, Luo Tian, ??the commander of the capital, led three hundred soldiers and ran like crazy before reaching the exact position. The soldiers on both sides suddenly separated, and some of them moved toward the rebels. They rushed in the direction of the military ladder, while the other part scattered in all directions, running towards the catapults and ballistas on the city defense.
Two hundred, three hundred
Only five hundred people? Lin Nan couldn't help but frown, but then his heart sank.
Luo Tian, ??the capital commander, transferred nearly 3,000 Xiangzhou guards away. There were only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the city. In addition to the original garrison of Xiangyang City and the 300 guards from the capital commander, There were only about 3,000 people. But now, as far as the eye could see, there were already more than 1,000 people and even more who were fighting fiercely in the East City Gate area. With a sudden thought, Lin Nan suddenly understood. Well, these five hundred people are already the maximum number of people that can be mobilized elsewhere
With such an offensive, how could the rebels attack only one city gate like a fool when they attack the city in the middle of the night? There are four city gates in the north and south of Xiangyang City. I am afraid that the other side is attacking the city at this time. Calculated based on 3,000 people, on average, each city gate must be guarded by at least 700 soldiers, excluding the reserved troops for reinforcement at any time. , the defensive force near the east city gate is already the largest among the four gates of Xiangyang City.
But even so, compared with the densely packed rebel troops below the city, the garrison troops on top of the city are still pitiful. If there is a slight mistake, the entire Xiangyang City may fall into the hands of the enemy.
Wait just in case
Lin Nan was suddenly startled. He seemed to have paid no attention to the critical situation just now, but now he suddenly reacted. Lin Nan took a few steps back, hiding himself behind the half brick wall of the arrow stack, and looked to the left There, they had just inspected the east city gate, and now the commander Zhang Zhong, who was leading the troops to come for reinforcements, was shouting loudly to direct the fierce battle.
