Chapter 68: Choice (Part 1)
As he walked, the marching commander Sun Donglin found something was wrong. The Mongolian Yuan official army held up torches and rushed straight to the western wall of Qizhou City. The large and small artillery of the attacking party also greeted the western wall, but the baggage camp where he was located was quietly turning north, and every guy who came to carry the ladder had his eyes flashed with determination.
"Where are we going?" Sun Donglin asked in a low voice when he reached out to grab a commander.
"Zhi Ma, just leave, why are you asking so much?" Zhang Han, the commander of the thousand-time man, waved his shoulders and threw Sun Donglin's arm into the air. "Stay wherever you are cool, don't cause trouble for me."
"I, I just ask, ask." Sun Donglin's face immediately turned into purple eggplant, and he awkwardly retracted his arm. It was different from the situation where the marching chief of the Huai'an Army held great power. He, the marching chief of the army, was the decoration used by Ni Wenjun to decorate the storefront, so in the entire Ni family army, few people were willing to give him any respect from top to bottom.
"I'm still a military advisor, I don't even know how to attack the east and west." Another thousand-man commander hurriedly passed by, glanced at Sun Donglin, and scolded him disdainfully.
As he attacked the west, Sun Donglin's eyes suddenly widened. The defenders at the city were already at the end of their strength. Even if they attacked directly, Yaharatulu and Ni Wenjun were both sure to make sure this time. Then they secretly sent a group of strange soldiers to climb up the ladder from the north of the city. Xu Shouhui might be in a disaster tonight.
Just as he was shocked, Ni Wenjun's voice came from not far away, "Military advisor, follow me, let's go to the north together."
"Uh, oh, I understand." Sun Donglin was stunned and responded unsteadily.
"This is for you, bite it, don't make a sound." Ni Wenjun walked over and bent down and stuffed a wet wooden stick directly into his mouth.
It had a sour and smelly smell that immediately rushed to Sun Donglin's forehead. However, he did not dare to spit out the wooden stick and walked with it. It was originally a rule of sneak attack. Ni Wenjun directly stuffed his "通" to him, which represented a kind of closeness. If he dared to wipe out Prime Minister Ni's face in public, he would not have to die without a burial place.
He endured the rolling of his internal organs and internal organs, followed Ni Wenjun's horsetail and continued to sneak north. He first made a big circle from afar, and then quietly approached the northern gate of Qizhou City while the southwest was in full swing.
"Come on the bow." Ni Wenjun got off the horse from a distance, took a two-and-a-half-stone step bow from the guards, held it in his hand, and quickly approached the city wall.
More than 200 carefully selected archers followed closely, and foxes in the jungle were as quick as they could, in just a few breaths, they had already arrived near the North Gate, and quietly pulled the horn bow with the light of fire in the air.
"Dang, Dangdang, Dangdang--" The defenders who were anxiously listening to the movements in the west of the city in the enemy building of the north gate discovered that there was an enemy outside the city, and quickly pulled the big bell that called the police.
After only two or three strokes, a wolf-toothed arrow more than three feet long rushed into the air. With a "crack", he shot the thick hemp rope tied to the big bell into two sections.
"Swoosh, swosh, swosh, swosh--!" Another rapid rain of arrows, the soldiers of Tianwan near Dazhong were shot like hedgehogs, and were extremely angry on the spot.
"Archer cover, death squad, climb the city." Ni Wenjun pulled the rounded bow again and shot a defender who was trying to run to the west of the city to the city from behind, and at the same time, he whispered orders behind him.
Zhang Han, the commander of the thousand-strong man who had a tacit understanding, nodded vigorously and led his soldiers to push the ladder cart to move forward quickly. In three steps and two steps, he leaned the ladder against the city wall, and then pulled the ladder to the mechanism.
"Bang." The iron hook installed on the top of the cloud ladder suddenly fell and hooked the city wall tightly. The commander Zhang Han spit out his sabre, held the sword with his mouth, held the shield in one hand, and grabbed the ladder with the other, and climbed towards the top of the cloud ladder like a monkey.
There were only more than 200 defenders on the northern city wall, and they were all not elite. In the face of the sudden blow, they were in chaos. Some people shouted and ran forward to try to overthrow the ladder, some people shouted to warn the West, and some people threw down their weapons and turned around and ran away.
The archers carefully selected by Ni Wenjun accurately found them. After two rounds of coverage, there was no longer a standing defender on the city wall. Only a few survivors were making the final struggle under the eaves of the enemy tower and inside the enemy tower.
But their struggle was destined to be futile. The west wall was fighting fiercely. The sound of cannons, muskets and grenade explosions completely engulfed the warning near the north gate. In a short period of time, no one could notice them.
"Bang." A large gun fired not far behind Ni Wenjun, smashing dozens of shotguns into the enemy building. The two strings of light balls hanging at the entrance of the enemy building were instantly smashed to pieces, and the entire enemy building was completely in darkness.
"Damn it, who fires the fire, who will ask you to fire." Ni Wenjun was furious, turned his bow and arrow, aiming at the location where the gun sounded, but saw his dog-headed military Sun Donglin's eyes were straight, his body was trembling, trembling, and there was no blood on his pale face.
"I will deal with you after the battle." Seeing the cowardly appearance of the latter, Ni Wenjun's murderous intention was reduced by half. He turned the corner bow again and shot a three-foot-long arrow into the dark enemy building. Then, he pulled out the steel knife and shouted loudly, "The whole army is pressing on, and within half a quarter of an hour, the north gate must be opened for me."
"Yes." More ladders quickly approached the city wall, and the iron hooks fell one after another. Teams of dead soldiers climbed up the ladder, as fast as raccoons.
There is no need to hide the hiding anymore. Even if the defenders on the west city wall cannot hear the warning from the north city, they will at least notice that the lanterns have been extinguished. Now they are divided into troops to rescue, and it is probably not too late. After all, Chen Youliang's troops are weak and it is impossible to take out another reserve army.
As they expected, as soon as the lanterns in the enemy building in the North City were destroyed, Chen Youliang immediately noticed the crisis on the west city wall. "Leave it to you." He threw the order flag into Zhang Dingbian's hand. He opened his throat and shouted loudly, "Come on, come with me to go to the North City and drive down a few thieves who are fishing in troubled waters."
"Third brother, it's too late." Zhang Dingbian's reaction speed was no slower than Chen Youliang. However, he made a completely opposite judgment, "There are only two hundred defenders over there, if the thief just now attacked the east and the west."
"Can you delay a moment." Chen Youliang glared at him fiercely and interrupted loudly, "Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Bi first leads the Iron Armored Guard to stay here, everyone else, come with me."
"Yes." Once again, someone responded loudly on the city wall soaked in blood. Then, dozens of blood-covered warriors were carrying weapons and quickly moved closer to Chen Youliang. The latter turned around and rushed to the north wall first. While running, he shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid. If it's a sound of the west attacking the north, the west city will be safe for the time being. Everyone will hold on to me. After this round, the Huai'an army will arrive soon."
The first half of the sentence may make sense, but the second half of the sentence is to quench your thirst. However, the warriors on the west wall of Qizhou City were instantly aroused their fighting spirit again, bent down one by one, ignited the grenades, and threw them out of the city one after another.
The two gunmen filled the shotguns specially designed for large guns with wooden shovels of gunpowder into the muzzle. The third gunmen picked up the wooden cone and pounded it hard into the gunboat. Then they pulled out the wooden cone, bent down, pushed the four-pound cannon towards the battlement, aiming at the enemy troops near the northwest side outside the city.
"Boom" a red light sprayed out of the muzzle, sweeping obliquely towards a row of archers outside the city. The red light suddenly expanded as soon as it approached the target, wrapping the entire row of archers in.
With a distance of just over forty steps, the archers had no time to react. They lay on the ground like straw hit by hail, and died terrible.
"克." "克." Several big gunmen opened fire one after another, beating the archers who might threaten Chen Youliang to flee. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the brothers' desperate return, Chen Youliang's legs continued to accelerate. He rushed over the face of the horse like a frightened wild deer, flashed through the battlements, and turned the corner between the west and north walls. In a blink of an eye, he was approaching the destination.
The northern city wall was already full of Ni's rebels, and there were more than 20 guards left to retreat. They could only use their bodies to protect the city gate wheels below the enemy's tower to block Zhang Han and others from approaching. However, their defense line was so thin that they were already broken by the rebels in just a few blinks.
"Cut the rope, cut the rope." Chen Youliang looked at it with a fire, and he opened his throat to remind him loudly that the iron gate behind the city gate weighed more than 10,000 kilograms. As long as the lifting rope on the wheel was cut off, the rebels from the Ni team would not be able to lift it up again in a short time.
His shout immediately attracted the attention of the rebels. A famous centurion shouted angrily, leading ten subordinates to kill him.
"Looking for death." Chen Youliang shouted, swinging the steel knife obliquely, and slashed a flash of lightning. The centurion who was trying to establish a magical skill and his weapons were smashed out of the city by him. With a "bang", it turned into a pile of meat paste.
The two traitors rushed to the front, one left and one right, trying to attack him. Chen Youliang flattened his steel knife and twisted his waist and swept it across. The sharp blade snatched the opponent's attack and drew a strange arc before the other party hit him. The two traitors all opened their intestines and broke their stomachs, and fell down screaming.
"Go to die for me." Chen Youliang continued to scream, waved the steel knife, chopping the fourth opponent off half of his head, and then quickly rushed from the man's body, stabbed the tip of the knife, stabbing into the heart of the fifth opponent. The narrow city wall provided him with great protection, so that every time the rebels who came forward to fight with him could not exceed three, but he became more and more brave and had no one in one match.
"Dang." A cold arrow flew from the city and hit his left chest. Chen Youliang was pushed back several steps. Then he raised his knife and cut the arrow rod embedded in the iron armor into two sections. The fine steel plate armor produced from Huaiyang was extremely tough. The cold arrows coming from a distance were impossible to penetrate it. As a special welfare for senior generals, Chen Youliang's plate armor was also lined with a soft golden wire armor that was also produced from Huai'an. Even if the plate armor was damaged, the soft thin steel wire could provide a second layer of protection and completely isolate the flow arrows.
"Dang." Another feather arrow flew over, making Chen Youliang's thigh sparks pop up. "A man surnamed Ni has the affair to come up and fight one-on-one." He rushed forward a few steps forward, hid his body behind the arrow pile, and at the same time opened his throat to challenge, "What a good guy is to hurt someone in a hidden arrow? I have the affair to come up and fight one-on-one. Mr. Chen asked you one arm."
Ni Wenjun was already sure of victory, so he would not agree to such stupid request. He curled his lips and continued to shoot arrows with a sneer. However, Chen Youliang never gave him a chance to aim again. He quickly rushed to the face of the horse closest to him, pressed against the inner wall, and fought with the surrounding rebels.
He was born in a son-in-law's family. Although he was seen by his companions around him when he was young, he had no need for food and clothing when he was young and teenager, and his foundation in martial arts was very strong. Therefore, he was far superior to his opponents around him in both shape and swordsmanship. He had already killed the siege with three or two, and stepped on the pool of blood and approached the enemy building at full speed.
The dozen remaining soldiers of the defenders downstairs of the enemy were immediately excited when they saw their Jinwu General sacrifice their lives to rescue him. They immediately raised their morale and divided half of their brothers to block Zhang Han. Several others raised their steel knives and chopped them up at the ropes on the wheel.
"Shoot them to death, shoot them to death, no one left." Seeing this, Ni Wenjun was so angry that his eyes were about to split. He didn't bother to shoot cold arrows and attack Chen Youliang. He directed his archers to adjust the angle and came to the bottom of the enemy's stairs to cover them in full.
The dense feather arrows flew into the air and then quickly turned down. Several warriors who were raising their knives to chop the ropes were instantly shot into hedgehogs, and their eyes were wide open.
The Ni rebels around the wheel were also overturned by this round of arrow rain. The rest were stunned and instinctively retreated. Between the lightning and fire, a Tianwan warrior suddenly jumped up in the pile of corpses near the outer wall. He rushed to the wheel in three or two steps, stuffed the grenade with sparks downwards, then spread his arms and covered the grenade on the grenade.
"Pull him away, pull him away, take out the grenade, the twister is still very long." Zhang Han, the commander of the thousand-time master, shouted hysterically, and used a steel knife to force his brothers to protect the winch. However, the thieves around him had the courage to die. They moved their legs tremblingly, and failed to get close to half a step for a while.
"Boom." The red light flashed, and the wheels that lifted the iron gate and the body of the warriors exploded at the same time, splitting.
"Kill Chen Youliang." The eyes of the commander Zhang Han immediately began to turn red, and he turned his head like a lost gambler, leading the traitor on the city wall to rush towards General Jinwu Chen Youliang.
The wheel was blown up and the north gate could no longer be opened, but the effect of killing Chen Youliang was the same. This person was the backbone of all the Qizhou defenders. Killing him would make it easy to break the city.
Although Chen Youliang was extremely brave, he was not the King of Western Chu after all. Facing waves of enemy troops rushing over, he was quickly forced to retreat step by step. Behind him, dozens of rebels who had just been thrown away were howling and rushed forward, wishing to chop him into meat sauce immediately.
"I am Chen Youliang, General Chen Youliang of Jinwu." After being stabbed three or four times in succession on the armor, Chen Youliang finally realized that something was wrong. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted loudly, "I am Zhijinwu. Zhijinwu of Tianwan Kingdom. As an official, you should be Zhijinwu. Marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua. I am enough, I am enough. Come and kill me. Look at me, I die first, you will die first."
"Wu." A close-range fire of a musket interrupted his madness. The rebel who was blocking the cheapest one behind him was knocked down by shotguns and screamed loudly.
Chen Youliang also suffered more than a dozen bullets. Thanks to the double protection of iron armor and soft golden armor, he did not get beaten into a sieve. However, the severe pain still made him turn around and curse at the firemaker, "Shiko, you don't have eyes, if it weren't for me."
"Things are urgent to follow the power." The Grand Tutor Zou Pusheng put down the large smoke gun and lay on the bushings inside the city wall, panting like a bellows.
