Chapter 881 The bloody battle to the end(2/2)
A thick black cloud enveloped the area thirty steps to the left of the city tower. A large number of dense defenders were concentrated here. Because the city tower is a key defensive position, a large number of manpower must be gathered on both sides to defend. Almost in the blink of an eye.
During this time, more than 400 religious bandits and the common people who were forced to go up to the city within the thirty steps of the city wall had no time to react before they were covered by the rain of arrows. After the rain of arrows, the place was full of corpses and was cleared out instantly.
Also affected were religious bandits and ordinary people who were carrying supplies behind the city wall. Some arrows fell over the city wall, killing seventy or eighty of them.
In addition to the Forbidden Army archers who started shooting, the crossbowmen on top of the thirty roller-coasters also entered the attack range. They hid in the iron fence and started shooting at the city wall from the narrow shooting openings. Their
The position was several feet higher than the city wall, and the condescending continuous crossbow fire made it difficult for the dense defenders on the city wall to escape. Amidst the screams, a large number of religious bandits on the city wall were shot and killed, which also interfered with the religious bandits' ability to attack.
The forbidden army's bows and arrows suppressed the city. For a while, there was chaos on the city wall.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk." A series of sounds like exploding beans rang out, and a row of crossbow arrows were continuously nailed to the pillars in front of the tower. The wood chips that collapsed were scattered in all directions, and smoke filled the air.
"Holy Duke, be careful." Several guardians shouted.
Hai Dongqing staggered and sat on the ground. Fortunately, he was still a little alert. When the first crossbow arrow hit the wooden fence next to him, he jumped sideways and was not hit by the next dozen crossbow arrows.
.But things happened in a hurry, and my feet were not very flexible, so I suddenly sat on the ground.
Song Mian and others hurriedly stepped forward to help him, shouting in panic: "Is the Holy Duke okay? Is he not injured?"
Hai Dongqing's hat fell off, revealing a messy white bun. His face was covered with dust, and he looked really embarrassed. He was a little angry. He was a holy man, but he had magical power to protect his body. He should not be hurt by a few crossbow arrows.
He was in such a mess. The best result was that he stood still, and the crossbow arrows passed by his side and were nailed to the pillars. This showed that he had no fear, his magical skills protected his body, and his swords and arrows also actively avoided the magic of his body.
It's a pity that all this can only be thought about. He can't take this risk.
"Why are you panicking? I was just distracted. I just avoided it instinctively. In fact, even if the crossbow arrow hit me, how could it hurt me?" Hai Dongqing shouted.
Several of the guardians raised their eyes and said nothing, thinking: Why are we still trying to support us when we are already like this? Do we really think we are fools?
Hai Dongqing put on his hat again and looked at the situation below the city. Due to the opponent's counterattack, the suppression force at the top of the city was no longer enough. The siege troops and horses had already arrived within thirty steps. The cloud carriage only needed to approach two feet away.
Then the long suspension bridge can be built on the city head, and that is the beginning of the hand-to-hand combat. At the far rear of the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the second echelon of officers and soldiers have begun to advance. Once the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides begins, the officers and soldiers in the rear will launch
Charge and drag the battle into brutal melee combat.
"I have ordered everyone to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. All supplies are ready. No officer or soldier is allowed to climb the city wall alive." Hai Dongqing shouted coldly.
"Yes!" Song Mian and others agreed in unison, and the order was quickly conveyed to every corner of the city wall. All the bandits began to pick up stones and rolling logs. The hot oil pans were also carried to the wall, preparing to burn the roller coaster.
