    Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 66: Battle with Xiangyang (14)

    The sky was covered with dark clouds, pressing down heavily, as if they were going to destroy everything on the ground.

    Outside the North City Gate, stones were flying in mid-air, and arrows were flying. The huge ship once again collided heavily in the middle of the thick city gate. The sharp corners of the ship wedged a palm-wide crack on the edge of the door leaf, and people gathered around the city gate.  On the small boat, all the rebel soldiers immediately used iron spears to hit the wood and other various instruments. They tried their best to insert into the gap, press and bend, and frantically tried to pry open the North City Gate.

    On the top of the city, under the command of the capital commander who informed Song Cheng, the three-foot-wide thick wet wooden wolf fangs, huge slings, scalding kerosene and boiling water poured down in an instant, poisonous smoke, fireballs, and caltrops.  Fireballs and other highly destructive firearms also entered the battle one after another. They bloomed in all directions in the dense flow of rebels. The rebels were beaten until they cried for their fathers and mothers and became a mess. In just one cup of tea, it was convenient under the city gate.  A large pile of corpses and overturned shipwrecks were piled up.

    The huge building boat approached the city wall, and the short ladders were once again set up on the top of the city. The red-eyed rebels rushed towards the top of the city from several short ladders. The bamboo water cannons and fierce oil tanks at the north gate were already on the first step.  As soon as water and fire began to burst out, the rebels who rushed towards them fell one by one, and rushed up one by one. The people who had just fallen had not had time to jump up and crawl away, and were trampled by those who came after them.  He collapsed flat on the ground and could not get up again.

    The burning people gathered on the deck of the building, forming a huge fire that shot up high. Although it was sprayed with boiling water from the moso bamboo water gun, the flame did not go out at all, but instead jumped higher and higher.  .  The burning smell and thick smoke were mixed together, and all the soldiers above and below the city were choked and coughed. After a while, even the deck at the front of the ship was burned by the fire.  The rebel soldiers quickly went to the lower level to get water to put out the fire.

    Amid the sea of ??water and fire, a row of guard archers stood behind the city head, each with their bows and arrows set. The gunpowder tied to the arrows suddenly burned, and several bright streams of light flashed through the air, hitting more than a dozen warships one after another.  Not only were there fires under the city wall, but there was also a fire on the river in the distance. The rebel warships that were crowded and busy attacking suddenly fell into a passive state. The soldiers on the bow kept putting out the fire while going back and forth.  They had to avoid collision with each other, and in a hurry, chaos broke out, and several boats were seriously damaged.

    The situation of the battle at the North City Gate has greatly improved.  However, just when Song Cheng and many soldiers felt relieved, the situation changed again.

    First, one of the moso bamboos under the city that had been scalded by boiling water for a long time burst into a gap. The boiling water suddenly spurted out, instantly scalding dozens of people. Then the leather tied at several joints began to leak out again.  The moso bamboo water gun that played a huge role in the offensive and defensive battle suddenly lost its effectiveness.  At the same time, the flames ejected from the nozzle holes of the four fierce fire oil tank trucks became smaller and smaller, and the kerosene in the oil tanks was almost burned out.

    Seeing that the temporary advantage was about to be lost, Song Cheng made a prompt decision and immediately transferred all the poisonous smoke fireballs, tribulus fireballs, wolf fang rackets, and mulberry trees to the place where the battle between the building ship and the city wall was most intense.  The strength was greatly enhanced, and the sharp and domineering firearm greeted the crowd without hesitation.  Poisonous smoke was everywhere, choking the rebels from moving forward for a while. The flames, which were still not completely extinguished, began to become violent again due to the large number of fireballs thrown and exploded.

    At the same time, Song Chengren quickly repaired the cracked bamboo and leather, and at the same time went to the rear to transport kerosene.  Despite his busy schedule, Song Cheng did not forget to detach a small team of troops to go to the East City Gate and the South Gate of the West Gate to remind the garrisoned generals to prevent another shortage of supply and demand.

    At the sluice gate, the rebel soldiers had broken two heavy logs one after another, and one of the heavy iron gate fences was completely broken, and the other one was also greatly bent. A gap that was wide enough for people to pass through was finally broken by the rebels.  The army broke out, but there was only a gap, which still could not allow the rebels to pass. The cold arrows released from time to time in the gate were still a huge threat to the rebels, and an accident would ignite the surrounding flesh and blood.  And the sharp points of the cold spears gathered in an array were constantly gathering thorns, turning the passage in front of them into a decoration for a while

    However, everything was beyond Song Cheng's expectation. Just as the defensive force at the top of the city had just weakened, the offensive of the guards below the city waxed and waned, and immediately became fierce. It was just a fight at the top of the city.  The situation has reversed in an instant

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The east gate, the head of the city.

    Lin Nan carefully observed the rebels who were blocked in a narrow strip of land in front of him.

    In a battle where the two sides were attacking and defending each other, it was obvious that some of the soldiers who were charging forward had extraordinary combat power. If you look at them coldly, they were dressed the same as most of the Huai soldiers, and even had the same equipment as the guards at the top of the city.They were very similar, and they were not tall in stature. However, Lin Nan still saw a little difference in the details.

    Most of these soldiers still wear the same light armor as the imperial army, and some even don't even wear armor. However, they have more protective armor on the joints and soft parts than other soldiers. The overall look is like  It is not very prominent, but during combat, it avoids most direct damage and fatal damage. And from the perspective of the protective effect, these armor pieces are quite well-made and cannot be produced by ordinary craftsmen.

    On the other hand, the fighting momentum and will are obviously higher. Although surrounded by the crowd, these people are not eye-catching at first glance, but if someone observes, they can still be distinguished from Huai who has been participating in the battle.  The military divisions were divided into the pockets, and they immediately saw that the aura of killing and bravery, invincible by ten thousand people, could not be concealed no matter what. Moreover, there was no need for them to conceal the fact that the city was already under attack at this moment.  The next buffer zone that can stand is the only thing left: kill people and seize the city.

    However, this is the only thing that is now becoming difficult.

    Although the rebels captured a narrow strip of land at the head of the east city, they did not occupy any of the two access roads leading to the city, and they were still firmly in the hands of the defenders.  In the middle of the fan where the two sides were connected, the defenders' continuous offensive with fierce oil tankers and bamboo water cannons also firmly suppressed the rebels on this section of the road at the top of the city. And as time went on, the defenders also  If the rebels continue to press forward, if they don't find a way to break this situation, the situation they just worked so hard to achieve will immediately disappear, and all the rebel soldiers currently standing at the top of the city will be driven off the top of the city one by one.

    Lin Nan squinted his eyes and stood in the defenders' spear formation, taking a break while constantly observing the rebel soldiers in front of him.  If what he expected was true, these rebels were not the elite troops of King Huai, then there must be one person among them, and this person was the one Lin Nan was eager to find now.

    To shoot a man, shoot the horse first; to capture the thief, capture the king first

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a figure suddenly flew up from the rebel formation, with his feet more than a foot high from the ground. In the blink of an eye, he faced the fierce fire and threw himself in front of the guard.

    Puff puff puff puff

    In just an instant, several spears stabbed the man in random order, and the fierce fire from the oil tank also burned the man's skin and flesh.

    Before the guards could react, the wind roared again, and people among the rebels flew up one after another. They flew down like moths to the flame, and flew towards the water outlet of the fierce oil tank truck and the bamboo water cannon. At this moment,  , at last two shrill screams of horror were heard in the air. At this moment, the guards realized that these rebels who were not afraid of death and faced fierce fire and boiling water were actually thrown out.

    In the rebel formation, people were constantly being thrown out. They were stabbed with blood holes all over their bodies by the guards like living targets. They were burned by the fierce fire until their whole bodies were scorched, smelly and black. They were scalded by boiling water until their skin and flesh were covered in blisters. At that moment, everyone's eyes were on,  All defected to the rebel camp.  But at this moment, the crowd of rebels finally began to commotion. Countless rebel soldiers at the front of the queue were unwilling to be treated as victims and died in vain. Some turned around and tried to escape, while some slashed around with their swords like wind demons. However, all this  Still can't prevent the tragedy from happening

    Whether they were killing or fleeing, the dozens of extremely brave soldiers in the crowd subdued the resisting rebels with just a few clicks, and threw them into the formation of the guards. These soldiers were like tigers entering a herd of sheep.  Invincible. As a result, not only the rebels were in chaos, but also the guards were in an uproar. Only Zhang Zhong and Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, and immediately understood that the purpose of the other party's move was just By the time they realized it, everything was already over.  It's too late

    In a moment, the nozzle hole of the fierce oil tanker truck was caught by a corpse, and the flames that were constantly spurting out were suddenly completely blocked. At the same time, the mouth of the moso bamboo water gun that had been spraying the boiling water was also blocked.  The two rebels who were still there blocked it for a while.

    In just an instant, dozens of tiger-like rebels who had been huddled in the formation suddenly jumped out of the formation in unison, with long knives and spears flying up and down in their hands, and in an instant they destroyed the formation of the southern guards.  After knocking off a corner, the two armies were instantly connected, and boiling water and fierce fire suddenly lost their use.

    Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Zhong, the commander-in-chief, gritted his teeth and instantly pulled out his long knife. He pointed the blade diagonally at the crowd in front of him who were fighting and in chaos, and shouted angrily: "Fire with all the force."

    "Sir Your Majesty" The guards and civilians responsible for pushing and pulling next to the two fierce oil tank trucks were stunned. It wasn't that they couldn't understand Zhang Zhong's words, but they were shocked by Zhang Zhong's inhumane order.  Terrified.
