Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 524 Attack and Defense of Ten Mile Fort ([-])
Put on a board.They rushed quickly across the difficult snow, the road was bumpy, high and low, and when someone came rushing, they jumped over the stone, and then there were many, galloping horses around.The board hit the low-lying land, with a bang, the stone rolled down, and the person fell beside it, but after a while, he got up and pushed it onto the board again.

The little journey ended next to the great wooden machine, and when the plank came to rest, two men lifted the stone.Put it in a sunken container.The stone sank, the winch sounded, and people shouted.

After a short while, it flew into the sky.The snowflakes all over the sky are spreading towards the endless distance. It collides with the snowflakes and rushes through the cold wind. The horse-riding team runs under its body. Below it, there are fallen people, blood and flames.Shouting hysterically.The low city wall in front of him quickly enlarged, and arrows with sharp arrows rushed past him in the opposite direction.During the journey in an instant, an arrow flew from the front, collided with it, and then bounced back and flew away without a trace.The stone hit the city wall.Stone chips splashed everywhere, and then there was a huge drop. It fell from the top of the city wall, and with a bang, ice chips and snowflakes splashed all over again.

On its left and right sides, at the same time, more than a dozen stones hit the city wall, and then fell down, as well as snowflakes, arrows, and other things.When it stayed there quietly, strange things always fell on it like raindrops, the arrows bounced off, and the water poured from the high wall gradually froze on its body , and then it was smashed open by another falling stone, the snow fell, and then the huge log also fell, with a bang.

The restless and violent scene paused as the sky turned dark, the snow was still falling, there was light on the walls of Ten Mile Fort, and there was also a continuous light behind, and water washed down from the walls.Before dawn, when the surroundings were still quiet, at a certain moment, the sound of restlessness suddenly sounded again. Stones and arrows flew, the fire approached, and the ladder approached. A ladder was placed on the stone. Above the position, the human body also fell down, beside the stone, there were strange shapes of flesh and blood, followed by black viscous liquid.

The whistling sound swept over with the light, and the fire spread down. The stone was submerged in the raging fire, and then the burning person also screamed and fell down. Not long after, the ladder also fell down.

The sun's light rose in the east and swept across the low city wall. It changed its position and then fell again, and countless lights and shadows around it were in conflict.In the stone's journey, everything around is both ephemeral and eternal.It is at the other end of the vicissitudes of life, and it is one with everything around it, whether it is undergoing a huge explosion, division, or deformation, no matter the surrounding is air, water, hard gems or shining pearls, no matter A part of it becomes a lush tree, or becomes a life of flesh and blood, no matter whether it can fly or merge into the soil, everything is like the change of sand blown by the wind, and this change is also a part of eternity.

It is quietly embedded in the melting ice and snow that has begun to freeze, and the falling things are shaped over and over again around it.The cavalry ran, arrows flew, swords and guns intersected, flesh and blood splattered, snow danced wildly, flames burned... The corpse fell with a scream, and the hard bones were smashed on its body, sticky flesh and blood Slowly slipping from the stone, then, continue to start to condense

All of these are part of eternity, but perhaps for a brief time, they have a somewhat different meaning to these transiently deformed objects called human beings...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"

The huge hysterical sound filled everything, the blood was in the eye sockets, it made people's brain ache, the wooden frame was being pushed crazily in the light of dancing knives, the party member was pushed around and swayed, and then hit the battlement next to him, he didn't want to be killed Pushing it down, he stretched out his hand and climbed on the battlement. The light of the cut knife severed that hand, and Wang Jinming kicked the man down the city with a strong kick!
"Where are the others! Where are the others!"

Facing the head next to him whose face was half covered with blood, Wang Jinming yelled vigorously. He rushed to the wall and poked his head out to take a look. The city wall stretched hundreds of feet, and the party members were heading towards this side. coming.All the ladders for siege are being erected, and the chariots are being protected by the party members with shields to move forward. Someone poured kerosene from the tower, and pulled out a long fire dragon in the wind and snow, and the arrows were shooting lifelessly. go down.Another wave of attacks.

"There are only so many people! The other brothers are all dead! The party members rushed up just now..."

"There are not enough Yaksha woods. They were chopped down. Ask someone to carry them up! There is still fire oil. They will run for their lives at most today. Our brothers from Qingzhou will come, so don't be reluctant to give up fire oil. My ancestors of Dangxiang people Come on, follow Lao Tzu! The party members want to attack that side by force."

Outside the hundreds of feet of city wall, the party members attacked like a sea tide, while inside the city wall, soldiers and volunteers defending the city frantically climbed up and down like a colony of ants.Even though the greatest force has been mobilized, the defense on the city wall is still not thick enough.The party members launched a fierce attack on the entire northern wall.Its madness is enough to make the defenders of every section of the city wall feel terrified.However, among the party members, Tuoba Zhenli and several patriarchs also used this raging offensive to test the weak points on the city wall. Break the defense of the entire city wall.

During the fierce attack, the party's cavalry also galloped under the city, suppressing the city wall with high-density arrows.Once the defense of a certain section of the city wall is a little tired, the siege force will frantically rush towards this side, once the party soldiers rush to the top of the city.The torn hole will immediately bring astonishing casualties. In the short half-day siege in the morning, the party members have achieved such a record four times.

Even when it was close to noon, more than 300 party soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the wall. They killed more than 200 defenders around them, together with more than 100 Shilipu civilians who assisted in defending the city, and retreated in large numbers until Lian Jicheng led 40 soldiers. More than [-] people were forcibly killed when several killers arrived.In the short period of time when the city wall was taken back, more than [-] soldiers and civilians died, some of whom were directly killed by Dangxiang soldiers and fell from the inner side of the city wall to death.

In fact, neither the Dangxiang people nor the guards of the Song Dynasty have yet adapted to such a high-intensity rhythm. However, the fighting awareness of the chiefs of several tribes headed by Tuoba Zhenli on the Dangxiang people's side is extremely astonishing. Of course, in the subsequent During the battle, Song's guard Liu Shijun and several battalion commanders such as Wang Jinming also had rich combat experience and organizational command ability, so they were able to adapt to such a battle and withstand such a degree of siege.

Flying stones and arrows occasionally crossed the city wall and smashed into the pile of people on the inside of the city wall who were helping to transport supplies for the defense of the city.The trebuchets used by the Holy Church to supply party items are naturally not comparable in accuracy and range to the trebuchets carefully researched by the Weapons Department of Huaxia Weifu, so not many can throw stones into the city, even if they can, They often ventured into the range of the bow and arrow, but almost every time it may cause casualties.Compared with the party members who were attacking the city and could build ladders anywhere outside the city, the people of Song Dynasty were the city defenders, and the stone steps up and down the city wall were often fixed.When the fighting intensity above the city wall is too high, the defense equipment needs to be replenished at any time, which leads to a large number of people crowded on the stone steps, and they often become victims of flowing arrows or stones.

But other than subconsciously dodging on the spot or finding a wooden plank to support them, there is no other way to evacuate, because once their work stops, the defense on the city wall will be in jeopardy, which may directly lead to a section of the city wall being breached by the party members. .

In fact, the crazy attack and astonishing combat power of the party members have already scared some of the people who helped. If the commander responsible for moving the supplies decisively ordered the killing of the first few people who fled, most of those people would have dispersed. up.

From noon yesterday to noon today, for a whole day, on the defense line of the city wall about a mile from all sides of the Little Ten Mile Fort, the defense strings were always tense. People dealt with everything hastily and dizzily. It feels like it could collapse at any moment.

But it never collapsed.

Rolling logs and stones were thrown from the city wall like raindrops, mixed with kerosene, hot water, and arrows. The soldiers in the village were occasionally shot by arrows and fell into a pool of blood, while the people of Shilibao who came up to deliver things occasionally picked up the fork and yelled and waved it.Trying to stop the party members who came up from the ladder, the fiery and turbulent shouts and the sound of fighting were mixed in the wind and snow all over the sky, spreading across the entire city wall.

A large number of wounded were carried down and sent to the Shilibao Branch of the Northwest Frontier Military Hospital.The weather was too cold, and yesterday's injured quickly contracted the wind and cold due to the decline in body resistance.The weak are dying anytime and anywhere, not only the doctors in the hospital, but all the people in Ten Mile Fort who know some medical skills have been mobilized or forcibly recruited. Like the soldiers guarding the city, they have almost never had the slightest rest for a day and a night. , everyone was exhausted to the extreme, and they were in a state of embarrassment, with other people's blood on their foreheads and faces, desperately and numbly treating every wounded soldier.
