Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 66
"General Feng, we can't let them build the siege equipment so easily, we have to destroy them and interrupt them."

"Yes, these people are really good at using local materials. As long as we destroy the equipment they build, their speed of attacking the city will be delayed, allowing the brothers in the city to rest a little longer."

"Okay, let's go then. I think their ladder is almost ready. Even if they can't destroy the equipment, killing all the craftsmen can still slow down their speed."

"Remember, archers, if you really can't get close, then send me an arrow to greet the craftsman. There is no way now. Our number is too small. It is really too difficult to directly destroy the manufacturing speed."

"Remember, so everyone, after shooting the arrows in the quiver quickly, retreat immediately, don't be stuck by the enemy, otherwise, everyone can save you."

"Okay, get ready and go," Huo Qubing ordered.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry surrounded them from all sides. However, Huo Qubing and Feng Li led the team and did not bother with them at all. They just relied on their strong equestrian skills to circle around and charge towards the craftsmen.

Arrows fell and blood spattered.

Soon, except for a few of the craftsmen who made the siege equipment, they had fled to the cavalry, and all the others lost their lives in the cavalry shooting of the Xiliang iron cavalry.

But those cavalrymen had no intention of giving up. They just beat the horses under them fiercely, trying to keep the people in front of them.

However, when it comes to horse riding skills, riding and shooting sights, and horse running speed, there are very few people who can surpass Xiliang iron cavalry, let alone these people.

So, they watched helplessly as the enemy rushed over to kill the craftsman, and then walked away. Although there were a few left behind, they were nothing compared to their own casualties!

Even if they took the opportunity to attack the enemy's craftsmen and interfered with their siege time, all the generals present knew that the enemy's attack would never be stopped.

Sure enough, when the sun moved to the west, the enemy troops outside the city took action.

Offensive and defensive, as antonyms, seem to be unreachable two ends, but they are involved only in naked bloodshed.

Although many craftsmen who made the equipment were killed, the remaining people still made things, but the equipment was simpler and the number was limited.

However, if all the shortcomings here can be filled with human life, then there won't be a big problem.

And obviously, this time's attack and defense are even more life-saving.

When the siege soldiers gave an order, they rushed towards Hangu Pass quickly.

Standing on the top of the city, Ma Chao shook the spears in his hand. In his sight, these shadowy soldiers were gradually getting bigger, and he could even see the weapons they were carrying and the clothes on their bodies. armor.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the several simple ladders held by many people. They are like huge snakes in the crowd, winding towards Hangu Pass.

The matter of defending the city is simple in the early stage, as long as you don't let the enemy get close to the city wall, it will be the consumption of bows and arrows if you are far away, and the combined use of crossbows and various equipment if you are close.

When the rain of arrows falls, the armor on the body of the lucky ones will allow people to escape their lives, and the unlucky ones will be pierced in the face by sharp iron arrows, bringing blood and tragic howls .

Of course, what's even more unfortunate is that he doesn't even have the qualifications to scream—what kind of scream can a person who has been pierced by an arrow in his throat make?It was just weak and slowly twitching on the ground, and then slowly died as the blood in the body flowed away.

On such a battlefield, instant death is a very happy thing, because you don't have to be tortured by pain.

But at this moment in Hangu Pass, the simple ladder has been set up, and the brave soldiers have already taken the lead and climbed up the ladder.

However, what faced them were stones and blocks of wood smashed down from the top of the city, and occasionally sticking out their heads and shooting sharp bows and arrows at the bottom of the city.

Falling from a high place happens in an instant. The faster you climb and the higher you climb, the faster you will die when you fall.

Even the most outrageous thing is that when he fell, his body passed through the weapon on the ground. The body carried gravity, and the feeling of being pierced by the weapon was only in his mind for a moment, and then he died neatly.

The ladder was placed on the city wall, and a steady stream of soldiers were climbing towards the city wall, but no one could enter through the city wall.

The most terrible refueling tactics began.

These soldiers were sent up to determine the enemy's energy and combat effectiveness. If they could attack the city wall instantly, it would be the best news for the people outside the city.

At this time, Ma Chao was commanding with all his attention, because his men and horses were too few, so for them, occasional mistakes would cost their lives.

At this moment, there is only one thing to concentrate on.

The arrows flying from time to time, the wood burned by the flames, the fallen corpses around him, and the howling of the soldiers under his command could not distract the horse a little.

He just calmly observed the enemy's movements, ordered his subordinates, and responded instinctively.

The sky gradually darkened, only in the west, the sun that had sunk was still persistently swaying its own light.

Facing the sunset is not a happy thing, but under this sunset, almost everyone is not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the sunset.

They are struggling to fight in order to survive.

When the setting sun completely sank, the sky also slowly darkened, and the soldiers like a tide moved away from the city.

They have already lost many lives here, and it seems that this state of affairs will continue for a long time.

Either the city was breached, or those who attacked the city were all dead, things are so cruel.

Kindness on the battlefield is cruelty to oneself. Everyone wants to live, and everyone has to kill others to survive.

In a life instigated by fate, the choice is actually not very important. Besides, these people have almost no right to choose.

The sky gradually darkened, and the ladder on the city wall was pushed down fiercely, and smashed to the ground from a height.

However, what is surprising is that along with the sound of the ladder falling to the ground, there is also the painful cry of a person.

He was a wounded soldier, he should have been shot by an arrow during the battle, and then passed out.

It's just that the ladder that was pushed down just woke him up from the coma. Of course, the price of waking up was a bit high, because at this moment, he was hugging his leg and howling fiercely.

When the ladder fell, it just hit his leg.

As a result, when the sky was slowly dimming, a man bent his waist, surrounded by the fallen blood-stained flag of the Tang Dynasty, gathered crows in the sky, arrows and various weapons everywhere.

He was holding his legs and crying.

"My legs. My legs."

"It hurts so much, why can't I move?"

"Someone come and save me, I don't want to die yet, I want to live."

"I haven't married a wife yet!"
