Great Song Pirate

Chapter 423 The Massacre Under the City
A lieutenant next to Li Hong saw the explosions in the front line, and cursed: "How many things are there in this damn skeleton army waiting for us that we haven't seen! His grandma's! These bastards don't grow You can only use these strange things to deal with us, don’t use these things if you have the guts, and fight with the old men for a while!”

Hearing the lieutenant jumping and scolding, Li Hong's mouth burst into bitterness. He also hated these skeleton soldiers, but at this moment he envied them even more. If he could have such a sharp weapon, he would surely He didn't hesitate to use it on the enemy's head, but unfortunately he didn't, these sharp weapons are in the hands of the enemy, he can only use human life to fill them, other than that, he has nothing to do, it doesn't look very good He suddenly felt an insurmountable feeling about the tall city wall of Aizhou, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He wondered in his heart, could this be his burial place?He couldn't help but suddenly shivered.

Looking at these generals who were being driven towards Aizhou City by him as if entering the tide, he suddenly felt that he was driving them to the underworld. Li Hong shook his head vigorously, shaking this ominous thought out of his mind, He didn't believe that he brought eight thousand elites, but he couldn't take down the small Aizhou city in front of him, because he got the news that there were less than two thousand skeleton troops in this Aizhou city, so he gritted his teeth and muttered: "Kill it!" Entering the city, I want to drink the blood of these damned thieves! No matter what they have, send me an order to continue to charge, and the reward for entering the city first is a hundred taels! Upgrade to three levels in a row!"

With the issuance of his reward order, these Annan soldiers were also aroused to be fierce. There must be brave men under the reward. rushed forward.

Deputy General Ruan took the lead and rushed to the front. He was so lucky that he was not hit by the continuous gunfire in the city. He thought he was blessed by God and Buddha, and became even more excited. Shouting strangely, he rushed forward with big strides, but he didn't know that his figure had already been covered by some people on the city wall.

Li Bo himself was lying on the battlements with a sniper crossbow in his arms, carefully aiming at the fastest guy in front, secretly calculating his speed and distance, feeling the wind direction in the air, and pursing his lips , pulled down the trigger lever slightly, the shoulder rest on the shoulder paused slightly, and a sharp arrow suddenly left the string, and almost at the same time, several battlements at other positions also flew out several times. With a sharp arrow, he and Li Bo actually chose a target.

Just as Vice General Ruan was running wildly excitedly, suddenly a few cold lights flashed in the sky, flying towards him like lightning, and without waiting for him to react, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced into his chest, He yelled inwardly that it was not good, but his legs continued to run forward mechanically for a few steps, and then several sharp arrows arrived one after another, except for two that missed and knocked over the two people who were following him closely. Except for the soldiers, the rest of the arrows were stuck in his body. These arrows immediately drained all his strength. He staggered forward a few steps, and then forcefully stuck the saber in his hand on the ground. Looking at the city wall in front of him while holding his saber, he didn't want to understand why so many sharp arrows hit him at the same time, since this place should not be within the range of the bow and crossbow, but now no one answered his question, his pupils He also began to slack off, his body limply fell forward, and fell heavily into the dust.

A large number of Annan soldiers could only watch Vice General Ruan fall like this, but there was nothing they could do. Many soldiers rushed past him with tearful roars, and the death of Vice General Ruan aroused their viciousness even more. It's a death anyway, since it's going to die, it's better to die more heroically, so as not to be looked down upon by these bandit soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the idea of ​​many Annan soldiers.

Finally, after rushing for a while, the Annan people left corpses one after another on the way forward, and their forwards began to approach the ditch in front of them. At this time, they also entered the range of bows and arrows. Inside, all the Fubo troops on the top of the city raised their bows and crossbows that had been prepared. Following the order of their respective capitals, they loosened the bowstrings or pulled down the bows one after another. A dark cloud immediately rose above, and after flying in the sky for a while, it fell heavily among the Annan Army crowd. Immediately, a large number of soldiers in the Annan Army crowd were hit by arrows, and fell to the ground wailing, only a part of the arrows were shot. Annan's soldiers holding up shields blocked them, and the Annan's soldiers, like the tide, immediately overflowed the fallen robes and continued to push forward.

Facing such a dense enemy army outside the city, the Fubo army basically didn't need to do any aiming. As long as they opened their bows and released their arrows, they would not worry about missing the enemy army. They are condescending and can take advantage of it. At least at this time, the opponent cannot effectively counterattack them. This is the best time for them to take advantage of it and carry out unilateral massacres. Will not pass up this opportunity.

The artillery and crossbows on the city wall no longer needed Yang Zaixing to direct the salvo. Yang Zaixing ordered them to fire at will, so the gunners worked hard to reload, and then quickly pushed the artillery to the battlements, aiming at the company outside the city. No need, just ignite and fire immediately, and then don't look at the effect, and continue to reload quickly. Anyway, there are so many enemy troops below, every shot will kill one, it's useless to watch!Under their continuous firing, the artillery has begun to become hot.

"Hurry up and get water, the cannon is too hot! If you continue to shoot, something will happen!" An artilleryman greeted his subordinates and ordered to stop loading. If you continue to shoot, I'm afraid something will happen. The medicine pack spontaneously ignited.

So a gunner immediately took the prepared cold water from the side and poured it on the gun barrel. The hot gun barrel immediately made a crackling sound and a cloud of mist rose. Fortunately, it was a copper cannon. If it was an iron cannon If you let them toss like this, the barrel might be scrapped.

After seeing the temperature of the barrel cool down, the gunners got busy again, and the gunners of those ballistas were not far behind. It exceeded the rate of fire of the artillery by a lot, and the smoking thunderbolts fell on the enemy group below, killing some first, then exploding, and blowing up another group. It was simply a wanton massacre.

At this time, the Annan people have adapted to this kind of massacre from the initial panic. They watched numbly the unlucky colleagues around them fell in a pool of blood one after another, and then began to raise their legs and move forward. Anyway, The next one to fall may be themselves, and at this time they have no way out except to go forward.

Yang Zaixing looked at the Annan soldiers who continued to come, waved his hand, and ordered: "Swarm, a hundred tigers rush to prepare!"

Some soldiers put down the bows and crossbows they were shooting wildly, turned around and lifted out a row of wooden boxes from behind, put them on the battlements, opened the front cover, and revealed the densely packed arrows inside...

At this distance, you can clearly see every move of the skeleton soldiers in black clothes and black armor on the top of the city. Some Annan soldiers looked at the weird wooden boxes that appeared on the top of the city in horror, feeling a chill in their hearts. , They really don't know what kind of terrifying killer these things brought out by their opponents this time, their spirits are almost unbearable, some people can't help but want to stop, but those expressions that continue to come up from behind The numb colleagues pushed them to continue to move towards death step by step.

The roar above the top of the city was mixed with a strange sound again, and then a burst of flames burst out from the top of the city, and fire-breathing arrows swarmed out of these boxes, pulling out the sky full of clouds in the sky. The smoke trails, and then flew towards the Annan soldiers outside the city like poisonous bees. This strange arrow immediately increased the number of arrows shot down from the city by dozens of times, and poured down on the Annan people like a torrential rain. In an instant, a large number of Annan soldiers were shot and killed in front of the trench by the rain of arrows. The front of the trench outside the city suddenly became a slaughterhouse on earth, and the shrill screams resounded through the sky.

Such a dense formation is the best target for the honeycomb rockets. It is not until today that the Fubo army has truly seen the true power of the arrows of a swarm of bees and a hundred tigers. Under the rain of arrows, the Annan people below were nailed to the ground in pieces. Almost no one in the area baptized by the arrow rain could escape the catastrophe. There were only a few Annan people who could escape. The layers were superimposed together, and the front of the trench was densely covered, so that the soldiers who rushed up from behind did not even have a foothold.

Faced with such a violent blow, even the most nervous person can't bear it anymore. If he continues to move forward, he will be "dead" in one word!The Annan people finally began to collapse. A large number of soldiers behind them with bags full of sand dropped the bags on their shoulders, and then turned around and started running away from the city of Aizhou regardless of their officers. No matter how they stopped, yelled, slashed and killed, no one obeyed their orders anymore, they just lowered their heads and ran wildly.

Looking at the Annan army retreating like the ebb tide outside the city, cheers erupted immediately on the city wall of Aizhou. Everyone cheered and continued to shoot arrows at those Annan soldiers who left their backs to them. The Annans who were too late to escape their range continued to hunt and kill in the open space outside the city, and the gunners continued to fire mercilessly, cutting down these fleeing Annan soldiers under the city one by one, outside the entire trench under the city The corpses of Annan's generals are covered with bloody and broken corpses. Several broken Annan battle flags are inserted crookedly among the corpses. It is unspeakably desolate to look at. Aizhou City Filled in a piece of gunpowder smoke, the air not only has a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, but also a strong smell of blood, which makes people sick.

Li Hong looked at his own soldiers and horses retreating from the front with a grim face, closed his eyes in pain, took a deep breath, opened them again, raised his hands and stopped drinking, and was angrily cursing and commanding his relatives. The lieutenant-general who stopped the soldiers from retreating said: "Don't stop them, let them retreat to take a breather! Let's gather the soldiers and horses on the spot, camp and rest, and we can fight again tomorrow!"

Looking at the retreating Annan Army, Xu Yi also raised his hand to stop the gunners of the Fubo Army who were still firing wildly, and took a deep breath and said: "Let them retreat! Today we killed There are enough people!"

The sound of the rumbling guns on the city of Aizhou finally completely quieted down, leaving only the cheers of the Fubo army members embracing and celebrating on the top of the city and the wounded who were still alive in the pile of corpses of the Annan army outside the city. The cry for help, the two voices intertwined, forming a sharp contrast.

The retreating Annan army was collected four miles away from the city, and then gradually quieted down under the supervision of the officers and generals. Everyone looked at the corpses in robes all over the front with a look of fear, and listened. The screams of the robed men who were injured and couldn't return made many people tremble uncontrollably. Many of them have participated in the war against the Zhan people since they joined the army, but no matter how tragic the war was, it didn't matter whether they failed or not People have fought such a tragic war, and no one has ever been massacred like this. Today, they didn't even touch the walls of Iowa City, so many people were massacred. A dead body, this is a war without any fairness at all. Before they even had time to launch a few bows and arrows towards the city, they lost almost all the archers, and almost all the shieldmen who rushed forward They were all on the land outside the city, and everyone was completely shocked by this massacre. They could only stare and listen to the helpless wailing of the injured robes among the piles of corpses.

Some of the wounded were covered in blood, struggling on the ground, exhausting the rest of their body strength, slowly crawling towards the rear, leaving trails of blood behind them, and screaming at the robed men who were staring at them from a distance. The shrill calls for help, these people's calls for help cut the hearts of the still alive Annan officers and soldiers like sharp knives, making them tremble uncontrollably, some Annan officers and soldiers finally couldn't bear such miserable cries, and tears welled up in their eyes , wept bitterly, but they still looked at the robes who were struggling to crawl towards them in horror, not daring to take a step forward, and finally someone could no longer bear the pressure and dropped the Weapons, screaming and crazily greeted the wounded, no longer caring about whether they would be bombarded by the sky thunder of the skeleton army above the tower.
