Jun Jiuling - Chapter 773
[Chapter 55]
A sharp horn came from the air, and the sound of the horn became more and more intense.
Pen~Interest~ge.iquge.nfo
This is a drum horn that is different from the Zhou people. The soldiers standing on the city wall looked and saw a car driving out of the golden camp in the distance, followed by Yongyong Jinbing .
The trenches were already filled, and the potholes couldn’t slow the cars down.
These cars at this time are different from the previous shield cars, in addition to the armor cover, there are also long ladders on them.
This is a more powerful siege weapon than the ladder previously carried by Jin Bing.
The war drums were also beating on the city wall, and a group of civilians rushed to the city wall with wooden barrels.
Standing beside the outer wall, they could see the dense golden soldiers rushing in without having to lower their heads, and heard the fierce clamor of rushing to kill.
Maybe it’s too numb to see, not as panicked as before.
The golden soldiers have already rushed under the city wall, but there are no bows and crossbows on the city wall. First, the siege vehicles are closely guarded, and many golden soldiers are hiding behind them. The lethality of the bows and crossbows is not enough. More crossbow arrows.
The siege vehicle approached the city wall, and the sound of thumping seemed to shake the entire city wall.
The people on the city walls still did not panic and chaotic.
“Down!”
Until an order was given.
The villagers dumped the barrels, and all kinds of oil were poured down the city wall, followed by another group of villagers who lit the torches and threw them down.
A fire erupted from under the city wall, accompanied by the screams of the Jinbing.
“Rolling Stones!”
The waiting villagers on the other side pushed down the logs and stones in front of them one after another.
There was chaos outside the city gate, with ghosts crying and wolf howling.
The people who finished pouring the oil did not appreciate the embarrassment of Jin Bing. They had hurried down the city wall, while another group of people with wooden barrels were running up, and the two teams passed by.
Countless people were running under the city walls, large barrels of oil were pushed out, and groups of civilians were waiting in line.
Carry oil,
go up the city wall, run down, carry oil again, go up the city wall, and so on.
The screams outside the city wall came one after another, but everyone did not laugh as much as they heard it a few times before.
Although they don’t know how to fight, but now they are relying on the hot oil to repel the golden soldiers, the people feel that things are not so good.
Why not use the powerful stone bullets of the Qingshan Army?
The stone bullets have been used once, which not only opened the eyes of the people, but also frightened the Jinmen who did not dare to attack the city for two days and retreated twenty miles.
But these times the golden man came to attack the city again, but did not use stone bullets.
“Stone bombs are suitable for long distances. The golden man has arrived at the city, so the stone bombs are useless.” A member of the public whispered, this is the explanation given by the officers and soldiers.
It seems reasonable, but something is wrong.
One or two days, the Jin man’s attack became more and more violent, but the stone bullets were never used again.
“It’s not like a crossbow, isn’t it enough?” Another member of the public murmured.
When these words came out, the people who heard them all felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar in this spring, and their bodies were all cold.
Outside the city, looking at the golden soldiers who had to retreat because of the kerosene, the generals looked very annoyed.
“The city that was originally thought to be captured in three or four days has not been captured in more than ten days.” A golden general said angrily.
“A city with less than a thousand soldiers actually forces us to fight a siege of tens of thousands of troops?” Another golden general said with a frown.
There is no shortage of rice, grain, and drinking water in the capital. If the city is besieged, it can be carried for a year and a half.
The people in the capital can resist, but they can’t. After all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they can attack here by means of speed. If the war drags on for a long time and reinforcements from the north and south arrive, they will have no chance of winning.
“I originally thought that the people in this capital have been addicted to wealth and honor for a long time, and they have no courage. I didn’t expect that they would be defeated without a single blow.” You Jin sighed with a heavy expression, “After holding on for so long, the people’s hearts have not been turbulent. It seems that morale is stable.”
This made the other Jin generals even more anxious, and Yu Chihai, who had been silent for a while, suddenly burst into laughter.
“As expected,” he said.
As he expected?
Can’t conquer the capital?
“Master Yu, if we can’t capture the capital this time, the Great Emperor will not spare us.” A golden general said calmly.
To be exact, he won’t spare him Yu Chihai.
It was all because of his persuasion that the emperor used the power of the whole country to fight against the Zhou people with countless warriors. Gold is bound to be exhausted, and national strength is greatly damaged.
These barbarians who looked ferocious but were actually timid, Yu Chihai was not embarrassed by his words, and his expression was indifferent.
“They don’t have this kind of stone bullet. There is no Qingshan Army in the city,” he said, pointing to the city.
The officers present were stunned.
They almost gave up attacking the city and fled because of that kind of stone bullet. It was Yu Chihai who insisted on trying again. Now it seems that after trying these two times, there is really no stone bullet coming back.
Yu Chi took a step forward and sneered.
“It turned out to be just bluffing.” He said, “This morale is only agitated by stone bullets. Warriors, don’t be deceived by them.”
Was it deceived?
The golden generals angrily scolded the southerners for being treacherous.
“Without reinforcements outside, no defense inside, I see how long their morale will last.” Yu Chihai said with a sneer, “Warriors, from now on, take turns attacking the city, day and night, let us become the eternal awakening of these Zhou people. It’s a nightmare.”
….
…
Accompanied by a sharp whistling, the sharp arrows that flew from under the city landed on the city wall with oil and fire, followed by rockets like rain. flare.
There was also a wailing that followed, and many young and strong civilians were too late to avoid being shot by arrows, and the city walls were chaotic.
But this is not even more terrifying. Looking down from the outer wall, there are ladders on the city wall, and the dense golden soldiers are climbing up.
In one place, a soldier watched as a hand grabbed the city wall, and then a human head appeared, with pointed armor, which was described as ferocious, which was very different from the Zhou people.
Golden Soldier!
Golden Soldier!
It turns out that the golden man looks like this.
The thought flashed inexplicably in the soldier’s mind, the whole person seemed to be empty, and he was sluggish while holding the weapon.
The screams in his ears woke him up, and then he saw the two soldiers pushed the horse and bumped into the golden soldier who had just climbed up.
The spikes penetrated the golden soldier, and the two soldiers pushed the man along with the repulsor.
This caused the following string of golden soldiers to fall from the long ladder.
“Kill.”
With an old shout.
The five soldiers clenched their spears with pale expressions, and stabbed at the golden soldiers that appeared one after another.
They seemed to have forgotten their fear, just mechanically swinging their spears.
There was a sound of fighting everywhere on the city wall. The fighting didn’t last long. The golden soldiers who climbed up quickly were killed, and the young and strong people who organized again rushed to push down the kerosene, the cloud ladder broke, and the golden soldiers Falling, the fire, stones and logs kept rolling under the city wall.
Another wave of attacks was repelled, but there was no joy at all above and below the city walls, there were dead bodies and blood everywhere, the fire was still burning fiercely, and the atmosphere of sadness was even stronger.
Under the city wall, people with disgraced faces crowded under the eaves of the houses facing the street, so as to avoid the attack of the golden man’s bow and crossbow.
“It’s been two days and two nights in a row…” someone murmured, “We don’t even have any bows and arrows, so we can only rely on people to fight.”
“This time the Jinbing has already climbed the city wall, and the next time there will be More.” Someone whispered.
No one is expecting stone bullets anymore.
“Officers are all liars.” A citizen said suddenly, raising his head in anger.
A figure on the city wall broke into his sight.
It was a small child, standing in the middle of the city gate, standing like a flagpole beside him.
The angry eyes of the people dissipated.
Even in such a dangerous situation, King Huai still stood guard on the city wall.
“I was dead when I ran out at the time. Now I’m staying here, and I have more time to live.” An old man said with a sigh.
But in the end it must be death.
A moment of silence all around.
“Well, you saw what the golden man said…” A low voice suddenly sounded, “If you surrender, you can not die…”
Although the golden man’s arrows fell into the city these days, there are still some who wrote word on white cloth.
The content is to persuade to surrender. As long as the surrender is opened and the city gates are opened, the golden people promise not to hurt the people.
This kind of cloth was quickly confiscated and burned by the officials, but some were picked up by the civilians and spread.
“It’s nonsense! Can you believe what Jin Ren said?” An old man raised his eyebrows and shouted, looking at the person speaking, “If Jin Ren’s words are credible, why are they here now?”
Jin Ren originally negotiated. , the result is now called again.
The people around were in awe.
“So don’t listen to their words.” The old man said loudly, “We must stand firm. If the city is not broken, we will have hope for life. The Jinmen won’t be able to besiege us for long.
” .
The atmosphere in the entire capital had fallen into a slump at this time, and Ning Yan, who was standing on the city wall, sighed softly.
“Lord Ning.”
Miss Jun’s voice came from behind.
Ning Yan turned back and saw Miss Jun walking over.
“We’re going to assign people to guard the city gate.” She said in a deep voice.
At this time, people’s hearts are already unstable, and if someone is tempted to open the city gate, then they will lose all their achievements.
Ning Yan nodded.
“It has been arranged,” he said.
“I guess the golden man will attack tonight.” Miss Jun said.
Ning Yan nodded.
“They are bound to win,” he said. “We need to be aggressive.”
“We have no retreat, but we are bound to win.” Miss Jun said, “As long as they can’t get into this city, we will win.”
More than ten years Military and civilians, even if they are fighting corpses, they must stop the golden men from breaking the city.
Ning Yan understood what she meant.
“King Huai, are you okay?” he asked.
Miss Jun looked back at the tent, and King Xian also came over, talking to King Huai.
“If the golden man breaks the city, what are you going to do?” King Xian asked, patting his stomach.
His expression was relaxed, as if he was talking about the little things about the weather.
King Huai looked serious.
“This king will commit suicide,” he said. “It will never fall into the hands of the golden man.”
King Xian looked at him and shook his head.
is it wrong?
King Huai was a little puzzled.
“It’s not suicide.” King Xian said, “It should be jumping off the city wall and smashing one to death counts as one.”
King Huai suddenly nodded and nodded seriously.
“Uncle is right,” he said.
King Xian patted his stomach proudly.
“But you can only smash one body to death.” He said, “This king can definitely smash two to death.”
Hearing this, Miss Jun couldn’t help but laugh, and Ning Yan also laughed.
As soon as they smiled, they heard a vibration in the distance, the expressions of the two changed slightly, and the people on the city wall also turned pale.
The golden man was about to attack again, and he didn’t even give him a chance to breathe.
It was already twilight, and the golden man didn’t care about the taboo of attacking at night, which showed his determination.
“Fight.” Ning Yan said, turning around and striding away.
…….
…….
The drums of war sounded heavily in the city, and countless footsteps on the street were noisy.
Chen Qi put a piece of cake in his hand three times into his mouth, and handed over a bowl next to him.
He turned to see Fang Jinxiu.
“Why are you here?” He asked vaguely, took the bowl and drank it
, swallowed the cake, and looked at Fang Jinxiu, “So, why don’t you come to the capital.”
The ticket numbers have not been allocated yet, so it stands to reason that they should not come.
Fang Jinxiu looked at him.
“Fortunately, I’m here, otherwise I’ll have to think about your life and death every day.” She said, “It’s better to die together to save trouble.”
Chen Qi laughed.
“You want to die with me,” he said.
Fang Jinxiu looked blank.
“I mean Jun Zhen Zhen, not you.” She said.
Chen Qi laughed, but didn’t say anything, and shoved the bowl to her.
“There are not enough people in the city, and now we want more young people to come to the city.” He said, pausing for a moment, “I’m going.”
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, and soon mixed into the people running on the street. , like a rolling tide, without turning back to the city wall.
Miss Jun was still standing on the city wall, and she could clearly see the golden soldiers rolling in again.
Whether we can defend the city or not depends on tonight.
“Miss Jun.”
A voice came from behind.
Miss Jun turned back and was a little surprised to see the person coming.
“Mr. Gu. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com ” she said.
There were four or five people standing behind them, and the leader of them was Mr. Gu, the gentleman of Jiufu.
After Jiufu was picked up by King Xian, he forgot about him.
However, Lu Yunqi was gone, and there was no one to guard Huai Wangfu. It was normal for Mr. Gu to come out at any time.
In view of the various performances of Jiufu, Miss Jun did not have much hostility towards this Mr. Gu, but had some respect.
Jiufu is so well-bred now, of course she doesn’t think it’s what Jiufu was born with.
“Why did you come here, sir?” Miss Jun asked.
Mr. Gu took a few steps closer with a warm expression.
“Lord Lu has some arrangements before he leaves,” he said.
Lu Yunqi?
Miss Jun was startled and looked alert.
