People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 442
On the narrow mountain road, Fang Fengjin issued a "kill" order, and countless soldiers moved after hearing the order, pointing at the powerful enemy at the top of the city with murderous aura.

On the city wall, Li Xuan did not back down, stepped forward brazenly, and pressed his hand on the eight-faced Han sword, and the long sword was drawn out of its sheath in an instant.

Under the reflection of the morning light, the cold long sword directly hit the hearts of all the Tianyin soldiers with endless chill, making them stop involuntarily.

Dressed in black fish scale armor, from a distance, it looks like a black god.

On the narrow mountain road in the distance, Fang Fengjin looked at Li Xuan with fire-breathing eyes, wanting to pounce on him and devour him.

But the anger did not completely burn his reason. Under his command, the Tianyin soldiers began to press forward steadily from hundreds of meters away.

Fang Fengjin's hand was firmly on the handle of the knife, and he never let go.

Facing the infinite ridicule of killing his brother and killing his relatives and enemies, although he was still calm, the killing intent in his heart was already extremely monstrous.

Li Xuan took a deep look at Fang Fengjin, then looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen, and said lightly: "You two, get ready, today, once, they will use all their troops Push it up."

"Once, are they crazy, wanting to break through Meiling Pass once?" Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen were shocked at the same time. They had already planned to fight Tianyin Sect for several days. Is it life or death?

"On Fang Fengjin's shoulders is the heavy responsibility of the Tianyin Sect going south to Wuzhou, and he is not allowed to think about it. What's more, he is facing the life and death enemy of this king." Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight sneer, Although Fang Fengjin's actions surprised him a bit, it was only a surprise.

He has long been prepared to deal with any eventuality.

……

On the narrow mountain road, the four well rails were pushed vigorously by dozens of strong soldiers. They were nailed with thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards were covered with three layers of cowhide.

Four well rails with a height of as much as 12 meters lined up side by side. From a distance, they were almost parallel to the city.

At the top of the well, behind the wooden planks and skins, Xu Shan led several elite archers, staring at the city gate with bows and arrows in their hands.

Behind the well, dozens of archers followed closely, and behind them stood two catapults.

There are many people nearby carrying stones in their hands, but those stones seem to be very light and not that heavy.

Li Xuan saw at a glance that those stones were the flake stones he had used before, and after being smashed, the flake stones whirled like flakes.

This kind of stone is very light and can be smashed farther under the same force.

Especially in this kind of siege battle, once this kind of stone explodes on the city wall, the archers on the city will be affected immediately.

Moreover, when this thing hits a person, although it can't kill a person, it really hurts.

Behind these people, there are more soldiers with swords and shields, and some soldiers behind are holding ladders in their hands.

As long as they can get under the city wall and hang up the ladder, they can immediately start a close fight with the soldiers on the city wall.

The Tianyin Sect had attacked the city a few times before because they didn't have enough numbers, and they didn't even reach the city wall a few times, but now it's different, they have enough cannon fodder for sacrifice.

500 people, 800 people, 1000 people, as long as enough people die, the soldiers on the wall will soon feel tired.

In the battle on the battlefield, exhaustion is tantamount to death.

In this way, step by step, all the soldiers in the city were exhausted on the city wall.

So in Li Xuan's eyes, the threat of these ladders was higher than those catapults and well rails.

It's just that in this way, Li Xuan's soldiers in the city may be completely lost, but the people of Tianyin Sect may suffer more casualties than them.

At least not less than three times.

Now it depends on which aspect can't support it first.

Fang Fengjin has made full preparations long ago, what will happen to Li Xuan, everyone is fighting to the death.

……

"The trebuchet is ready."

As soon as Jing Lan on the mountain path entered the attack range, Li Xuan immediately raised his long sword, followed closely, and slashed downward.

The next moment, four round rolling stones were spinning rapidly in mid-air.

In a blink of an eye, there was a "boom", and four rolling stones smashed hard on the top of each well rail almost at the same time.

Immediately, wood chips flew across.

Fang Fengjin's expression froze suddenly.

Although the timing of the launch of the catapult on the city wall was a bit late, it hit the very top of the well rail very precisely.

Compared with the base layer below, the uppermost layer has to carry archers, and there are not as many wooden frames as the lower ones.

When the rolling stone fell, several sticks were broken immediately.

If it wasn't for the cowhide, there might have been an archer who died under the rolling stone by now.

Nanchang Wang saw through their weaknesses.

Fang Fengjin frowned, waved his big hand, and roared loudly. "Accelerate."

The catapult placed on the city wall had a range much higher than that of the Tianyin Sect.

In this distance, even an old man like Fang Fengjin can only watch himself being beaten and not fight back.

Zhang Wanyu stood behind Fang Fengjin, looking at the scene in front of her, her face had already darkened.

She knew that all of this must be done by Li Xuan.

Only he can make all these calculations so accurately.

"Go ahead, kill the top archer first." Li Xuan ordered again coldly.

"Boom!" Another four rolling stones kept rolling in mid-air, but every time, they hit the top of the well rail with the same precision.

It's like everything has been carefully calculated.

Although the soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were advancing steadily, they were still startled by the constant bombardment of rolling stones.

"Boom boom boom" one after another, the rolling stones kept hitting the top floor of the well rail.

Finally, with a click, the wooden pillar on the well fence broke directly, and the rolling stone smashed down on an archer with cowhide.

Without saying a word, the archer fell directly from the well rail, and blood flowed all over the floor.

The rolling stone fell from the top of the well rail, directly rubbed against the top of the catapult, and hit the ground hard.

The Tianyin soldiers around immediately moved out of the way subconsciously, and the rolling stone quickly rolled back along the path out of the way.

Seeing this scene, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

The next moment, the top of another well rail was smashed to pieces, and the falling rolling stone hit a head directly: "Bang!"

More rolling stones fell from mid-air, bringing up a large area of ​​bloody killings.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Fang Fengjin again.

"Speed ​​up!" Although Li Xuan couldn't hear Fang Fengjin's voice, Li Xuan could recognize his mouth shape at a glance.

In an instant, the people below who were pushing the remaining well rails worked harder, and pushed the well rails hard to accelerate forward.

"Brother Qiu!" Li Xuan called Qiu Zhenmu suddenly, and Qiu Zhenmu immediately took a step forward. The Qianniuwei behind him had already delivered a longbow to Qiu Zhenmu's hand. .

However, the arrow was not shot immediately, Qiu Zhenmu was still staring at Jing Lan in the distance.

At the sound of Jinglan approaching the catapult 250 steps away, Li Xuan and Qiu Zhenmu's faces lit up at the same time.

Just as Jing Lan pushed forward, the next moment, he heard a "boom".

A gully with a width of two meters suddenly opened in the middle of the mountain road, and the well rail fell down in an instant.

The gully is not deep. After all, this is a mountain road, and the deepest is only half a meter.

As long as enough people hold onto the well rail at the same time, and then pull it up forcefully, the well rail will be pulled up immediately.

That's what Fang Fengjin did. Not only did he greet his subordinates, he even rushed forward himself.

Just as Fang Fengjin led his men to rush forward with the rolling stones on their heads that could be thrown at them, a rocket shot suddenly from the front.

Immediately afterwards, billowing flames erupted from the bottom of the well, and the flames rose rapidly.

"Tung oil!" Fang Fengjin suddenly lost his composure, and stared at the top of the city with gritted teeth.

Not only was the withered grass placed under the well, but tung oil was even hidden under the withered grass.

In an instant, the four well rails were immediately engulfed in billowing flames.

With a sound of "bang", Fang Fengjin stepped on a well fence fiercely with one foot, and directly smashed the flame-burning layer in the lower half of the well fence, and at the same time smashed the remaining The part, flat, kicked to the front.

"Fill stones!" Fang Fengjin yelled at the back, and the soldiers carrying the stones immediately understood, and threw all the stones in their hands into the fire pit.

The soldiers on the other three sides hurriedly followed suit, and the layer that was on fire was directly removed from the well rail, and the rest were pushed flat to the front, and then the fire pit was extinguished with stones.

Although the height of the well rail is not as high as before, it can still firmly block the rolling stones falling from the city wall.

"Young master!" Fang Fengjin turned to look at Zhang Wanyu, and said in a deep voice, "Please stay here, young master, and instruct them to push the well wall forward little by little, and the catapult will follow slowly, don't be too anxious."

"Follow the order!" Without any hesitation, Zhang Wanyu immediately agreed.

"Shield bearer, go!" Fang Fengjin waved and rushed out first.

He didn't know when a round shield was added to his hand, and above his head, a rolling stone slammed down from above.

Fang Fengjin slammed the round shield sideways, and the rolling stone was slammed against the wall on one side, and it was smashed to pieces in a blink of an eye, unable to even roll down from above to hurt people.

On the city wall, the surrounding soldiers were just about to align their catapults at Fang Fengjin. At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly said, "Don't worry about him. The catapults operate according to the established plan. Don't worry about the rest."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan looked at Li Zhu beside him, and took out a crossbow.

"Here!" Li Zhu immediately moved a crossbow from behind and placed it in front of Li Xuan.

Ordinary people need to use their feet to push the crossbow. Li Xuan just pulled the crossbow lightly with both hands, and directly pulled the crossbow away.

A one-meter-long arrow was placed on the crossbow by Li Xuan, and then aimed at Fang Fengjin with the black Wangshan.

Behind Fang Fengjin, countless famous sword and shield players were divided into a team, and the shields in their hands were held above their heads at the same time, interlocking and covering each other, and finally formed a dense shield array.

Only Fang Fengjin stood out at the front.

Although Li Xuan had already explained, there were still rolling stones thrown by him from time to time, but Fang Fengjin just smashed the rolling stone with his shield, and the rolling stone was smashed to pieces.

Among the endless rolling stones, Li Xuan's eyes fixed on Fang Fengjin.

The moment he smashed a rolling stone on the side, the crossbow in Li Xuan's hand loosened.

The next moment, the crossbow arrows shot towards Fang Fengjin fiercely like a gust of wind.

The moment the crossbow arrow was shot, Fang Fengjin sensed it immediately, and the shield in his hand was instantly retracted to his chest, but...

Blood splashed suddenly, and a one-meter-long crossbow arrow had already ruthlessly shot into Fang Fengjin's shoulder. One of his hands was tightly grasping the arrow shaft, and the crossbow arrow was caught directly, just enough to shoot through him. shoulders.

With a "snap", the crossbow arrow has been broken directly.

Raising his head, Fang Fengjin looked at the city wall. At this moment, Li Xuan already had another crossbow arrow in his hand.
The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, Fang Fengjin quickly retreated into the crowd.

If Li Xuan was allowed to shoot another arrow, he would definitely die.

Because it's a stroke of luck.
