Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 65: Battle with Xiangyang (13)
There was a loud sound, and the swords and spears collided. The huge force of the shock caused Zhang Zhong's right arm to swing. His right hand could hardly hold the long sword in his hand. The empty hole in his chest was exposed, but it seemed to have no effect on the opponent. In an instant, he swallowed the spear. , spitting out a message like a poisonous snake, with a pop, if Zhang Zhong had not seen the opportunity early in his busy schedule, he would have immediately retreated as soon as the long knife swung away, and the opponent's spear would have been It's definitely not as simple as just opening a blood mouth, I'm afraid a life is at stake here.
The opponent's spear followed him like a shadow, and another spear followed, but it was caught by the two guards behind Zhang Zhong, one on the left and one on the right. Zhang Zhong just took a breath, and suddenly a long knife rushed out with strong wind from the diagonal stab. Without thinking, Zhang Zhong raised his arm and raised the steel knife. The sharp trembling sound made everyone around him I wish I could cover my ears. After blocking a spear and suffering a hidden loss, Zhang Zhong used all his strength this time, but he suffered another loss. After the two steel knives collided, the huge force will The blade of the knife was shaken, and one of Zhang Zhong's arms hung down diagonally. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but before he could retreat, the opponent raised his leg and kicked Zhang Zhong's lower abdomen, causing an overwhelming feeling. In pain, Zhang Zhong took three steps back and sat down on the ground. His forehead was sweating profusely and his face instantly turned pale.
One-on-one, Zhang Zhongyi was shocked and confused after losing twice in a row and almost losing his life here.
Zhang Zhong had been in and out of the battle formation many times before at the city head and city gate. With his usual bravery and risk-taking, he had never encountered such a powerful opponent. The previous fierce battle in the middle of the night and most of the day, even though he was a little tired, he still wouldn't be so suppressed by the opponent in just one encounter. Zhang Zhong felt that there was only one reason for such a result, and that was that the soldiers who came up this time were of higher quality, far superior to any soldiers and horses he had encountered before. What surprised and horrified Zhang Zhong was that if Just because one person is so brave may not be scary. For example, Donghai Luo Fang before, and the traitorous commander Meng Tu wouldn't the result be the same death? Generally speaking, in front of the two armies, personal bravery plays an absolute role. However, Zhang Zhong now faces far more than one opponent. It seems that the two people who just fought were just ordinary soldiers with equipment, but in terms of combat power, they greatly exceeded the average soldiers. Does this mean?
Zhang Zhong broke into a cold sweat.
¡°Half of it was due to severe pain, and half was due to extreme fear.
Reminiscent of the scene where a group of rebels marched on the hanging ladder to the top of the city in a crowd, and the scene where a dozen rebel soldiers who were covered in flames and kept beating were suddenly and mercilessly killed Zhang Zhong I struggled to stand up from the ground, holding my sore and numb right arm that had not recovered yet. For the first time, I hesitated in my steps, not daring to step forward
On the other side, Lin Nan also encountered the same situation.
On the hanging ladder in the middle, two people rushed up like crazy tigers. Lin Nan shook his spear and rushed forward. The spear shaft shook. With the toughness of the spear shaft, the spear tip quickly swung left and right, pointing towards The faces of the two people in front of the head.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
One of them dodged to the side, and at the same time as he jumped, a war spear turned sideways and turned into a big stick. With a faint sound of wind, it hit the other man. The other man did not dodge, and the war spear in his hand also shook, completely ignoring Lin Nan's war spear. Pointing to the danger in front of him, he stabbed straight with his spear, actually risking his life
With just one encounter, the situation was completely different from before. Lin Nan's heart trembled, and he jumped sideways. While avoiding the spear thrust of the desperate rebel, he raised his spear horizontally at the same time, and turned it into a big stick to move quickly. The two spear poles intersected. There was only a click, and a huge impact was heard. The extremely tough spear shafts were both broken, and the arms of the two people fighting were raised uncontrollably at the same time, but their feet were different.
The broken half of the spear shaft of the rebel soldier was instantly thrown out of his hand, stabbing Lin Nan in the lower abdomen. At the same time, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the spear of a guard in the middle of his busy schedule. , when the guard was about to fight, his hands were too tight on the spear. He pulled him, staggered, and was dragged directly. The hand of a rebel next to him floated quickly, and he hit with a spear, and died unexpectedly. Spear's rebel soldiers immediately chased Lin Nan again.
But after Lin Nan broke the spear shaft, he immediately retreated. At the same time, he flicked with his toes. Before the half of the spear with the tip of the broken spear fell to the ground, he was kicked by Lin Nan with his toes and instantly turned into a rainbow. Caught off guard, the rebel soldier who was fighting for his life and rushing forward was immediately hit, and the half spear tip penetrated his throat. The huge inertial momentum made him take two steps forward before slowly falling down. ¡
After one of them was solved, another one was chasing after them. But behind the two rebel soldiers, after a short moment, more rebels came up.
Almost subconsciously, a question popped up in Lin Nan¡¯s mindQuestions immediately popped up: Where did this army come from? The rebel soldiers who came up this time were different.
It¡¯s definitely different
Could it be that this is the opponent¡¯s trump card that has been hidden for a long time? Could it be that the appearance of these people is a sign that the other party is ready to break the city in one fell swoop?
impossible
Lin Nan snatched the spear of a guard behind him with his hands, and rushed forward to face the rebel soldier who was chasing after him. At the same time, the guards at the top of the city and the recruited victims also rushed forward. These extremely powerful rebel soldiers fought together. However, just after the initial battle, the situation has already become a little bad. Although there are only a dozen of these soldiers who are rushing forward, the bravery, cold-bloodedness, risk-taking, and strength that come from their bones are far from the city. The remaining Xiangzhou guards on the head can be compared with the common people who may have never been on the battlefield and seen blood before they were just recruited. There were only a dozen people, but after one encounter, dozens of people were killed and injured.
On top of the city, a pile of corpses instantly piled up, and the smell of blood rose into the sky.
Everything that happened around him was seen by Zhang Zhong who was standing by. At this moment, his right arm has gradually recovered its vitality, but his physical courage alone may not be enough to deal with the rebels in front of him. After a slight hesitation, Zhang Zhong made a gesture to the back.
Poof
A ray of fire suddenly burst out from the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the area of ????one foot in front. The rebel soldiers who had just risen from the killing were being burned by the flames jumping out of the oil tank. Except for a few who suddenly escaped and were injured, In addition to being lighter, the seven or eight people closest to him instantly turned into burning men. Even Lin Nan, who was fighting two brave rebel soldiers, was almost burned. However, even so, they were also burned in an instant. The skin is sore from being roasted
Almost all the guards breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. However, just this moment of relaxation caused more than a dozen people to die in the city.
The seven or eight rebel soldiers who were already covered in fire did not hide or cry like the rebels who were sprayed before. The moment their bodies were burned by fire, they seemed to have received a silent order. The firemen suddenly rushed towards the crowd in front of them. The guards and the people who were caught off guard were stunned by the scene in front of them. Then several people were tightly grabbed by the firemen. In the blink of an eye, the number of firemen increased. The blood-curdling wails that more than doubled soared into the sky. Just hearing them sent chills down one's spine, not to mention that countless people had witnessed this hell-like scene with their own eyes.
Terrifying and tyrannical, brave and fearless of death
Is this still a human being?
In an instant, boundless fear arose in the hearts of many people on the city. A few timid people had already thrown away their weapons and collapsed on the ground limply, completely losing the ability to fight. The guards and civilians who were still holding swords and guns were trembling with fear in their hearts. Their momentary bravery was completely destroyed by the opponent's attack like a devil from hell, and they were suppressed without the ability to resist.
At the same time, Lin Nan on the other side held up the spear shaft that had once again turned into half. He clasped the rebel's neck with one hand, and the sharp edges of the half spear shaft in his other hand pierced through like lightning. The throat of the rebels.
In the blink of an eye, two places on the top of the East City Gate were breached. Looking at the situation, the third hanging ladder that Lin Nan assisted in defending was also in danger. In an instant, it would no longer be able to be defended.
Zhang Zhong made a decisive decision. After a few gestures, the flow of people on the three hanging ladders suddenly divided into left and right, fighting and retreating. They were divided into north and south on the top of the city. Spear arrays and sword walls were set up, still blocking the rebels' entrance. At the same time, although the catapults and ballistae have lost their function, there are still two fierce oil tank trucks on each side of the north and south, spitting out tongues of fire, and under the parapet, the bamboo water cannon that has just played a huge role, It was set up again.
The overwhelming rebel offensive finally slowed down.
The rebels who had stormed the city were densely packed on the walls of the city wall, which were more than ten feet away. However, they could not advance even an inch for a while. The newcomers kept pouring in, and in the end it became difficult to even turn around. As for the defensive side, as it began to stabilize the situation, more and more people came to reinforce the situation, and the situation became deadlocked again.
Lin Nan in the middle of the crowd was breathing heavily while constantly looking at the rebels not far away. As he watched, Lin Nan suddenly noticed something different - the rebels in front of him seemed to actually consist of two groups. The soldiers who were the first to come into contact were now surrounded by the rebels who came after them. It seemed that their number was not very large. At first glance, their attire seems to be the same as that of all rebels, but there are still subtle differences.
Lin Nan's brows gradually widened. He had already guessed where these brave and skilled soldiers came from.
