Chapter 252: The fight to seize the city in the middle of the night

Li Xuanba pulled down his helmet and wiped the sweat from his face. "It's okay, I've shot and killed six or seven rebels, but there are too many. I'm afraid it's like Zhenru Brother, you guessed. There are only suspicious soldiers there. This is their main attack."

At this time, Liu Hongji also rushed into the city tower. As soon as he rushed in, he heard a few snaps and could see several arrows inserted on the mud inside the city tower.

"Grandma, the enemy coming here is definitely the main force." After Liu Hongji rushed in, he took the kettle handed by his personal soldiers, took a few big mouthfuls, and said loudly.

"By the way, have you sent someone to ask for help?" I asked quickly. "The rebels attacked at night, and they must have wanted to seize Luoyang in one go, so there will definitely be no fewer rebels."

"I asked Shi Dao and Brother Maoyou to rush over as soon as possible. Now a quarter of an hour has passed, I believe they have seen the general." Liu Hongji had several feather arrows inserted into his body, but fortunately, they were all inserted into the crack of the armor. This guy answered while pulling the arrow.

"That's good, by the way, how are the navy in Luoshui? Have you been dispatched?" What I worry most is the Luoshui area. If the rebels go into the city at night and then pounce on the city gate area, it will be a big deal. Our troops are not enough.

"It's been dispatched, it's so dangerous. I was just around the side near Luoshui. Hundreds of rebels were about to climb ashore. Fortunately, the navy found out that they had killed them and ran away. Only dozens of people were running away. Brother Chai Shao had already brought people over. I believe they can't make a big wave."

At this time, Zheng Chen appeared at the door with a pair of bright light armor in his arms: "Young master, take off that quickly and put on this one."

"Okay" I'm not polite. Well, for the sake of life safety, as long as I am on the battlefield, I will never take off this thing. Even if it's a little bit heavy, at least my life safety is guaranteed. Otherwise, if I am hit by the rami arrow on the battlefield, I might die young.

Li Yuanfang, who had been waiting by my side, quickly put on my armor, and he was still mumbling in his mouth. "Young master, I'm a little boy, please don't get too close to the city wall later. If something really happens to you, the little boy can't afford it."

After putting on the heavy bright light armor, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, everyone should go out quickly and don't give the rebels a chance to rush up."

"Let's go" Liu Hongji raised his hand first, which was the small round shield and rushed out. Then Li Xuanba also rushed out. Li Yaoguang took a few steps, turned around and looked at me steadily, and then he whispered: "Be careful, take care of yourself."

"Thank you, you must take good care of yourself..." Before I finished speaking, Li Yaoguang had already put down his face and rushed out of the city tower. Seeing her figure, I couldn't help but smile. For some reason, in just a short moment, it seemed that the relationship between me and her, or the distance, was much closer.

This young master also followed suit and put down the facial guard on his helmet. This thing was a piece of iron plate. However, it was cast into a ferocious beast-head shape, with its nose bulging outwards, and two holes were dug in his eyes. Although it had some effect on the line of sight, it also allowed the face to be protected. The young master was holding a round shield in his left hand. As soon as he walked a few steps, he felt that the shield seemed to have hit something, making a snatching sound, and it seemed that he had been shot.

"Damn it, who is so unworthy of merit, and is moved to the sky." As an outstanding young man in the 21st century, I complained while rushing to the defense area where my troops were located under the cover of Zheng Chen and Li Yuanfang.

Here, about fifty feet long, the thousand pieces under my command need to defend against this section, so that the damn rebels below cannot rush down. With Liu Rongtian's roar and the family army that had been on the battlefield, after the initial chaos, they finally found a sense of rhythm. Shields were set up to block the arrows falling from the sky, rows of crossbow arrows roared through the female wall, pierced into the human body, stirring up a bunch of blood mist, and carrying fresh lives.

The bamboo whistle also showed a rhythm, and each part no longer looked panicked, and it was rolled in an orderly manner, aiming, and pulling the plate machine. It has to be said that crossbows are indeed much more useful than bows and arrows. As long as anyone learns for one or two hours, even if they cannot hit a goal a hundred steps, they will not hit a target a hundred steps away, and will not be like bows and arrows. After several months of hard practice, they will not even hit the target.

The rebels also had many arrows, but with the barrier of the city wall, the ones that can really cause damage were not only hit by the shooting hole of the female wall, but also more arrows falling from the air.

These people were all wearing helmets and armor, so it is difficult to cause fatal injury. However, in just over the moment, nearly a hundred people had already rushed to the arrows, but many people still gritted their teeth and continued to persevere. Only a few people who were hit by the critical point were carried down.

However, above the city tower, besides the movements and bamboo whistles, there were almost no other sounds, only muffled groans coming from time to time, reminding someone to be hit by feather arrows, and the rebels under the city wall screamed wildly.

"How is it?" After rushing to the position, I hid under the female wall and asked Liu Rongtian who had already arrived.

"Young Master, we can still withstand it, but we don't know how many rebels will attack the city, and we don't know when we can last. Fortunately, there are not many crossbows on the other side, otherwise, our injuries will probably increase several times."

I looked at the back of the house that was still arranged in three rows, shooting forward one after another, and then retreated. Seeing more than 300 people wearing iron armor, I couldn't help but have an idea and pulled Liu Rongtian over. "Tell them, stop shooting three times and let all the people wearing iron armor shoot in front. The other two rows of people specially stitch the iron armored person, and three crossbows, let the iron armored person shoot. The others are responsible for pretending to be stringed. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Rongtian was stunned at first, and then looked happy. "The little one knows what to do."

"It's good to know. Do you two understand or not. If you understand, you three will go together and let them adjust." This young master turned his head and shouted sternly at Li Yuanfang and Zheng Chen.

"Zheng Chen, stay and protect the young master. If there is any mistake, I will take your life, Brother Liu, let's go." Li Yuanfang stopped Zheng Chen and stared fiercely and shouted, then he and Liu Rutian began to go one by one and began to let those people do as the young master's instructions.

"Young Master, I'd better keep you." Zheng Chen held the shield hard, and after talking for a while, at least three or four arrows were stuck on his shield. I knew Li Yuanfang was for my own good, so forget it, I was too lazy to care. My master's life was very important, and it would be no big problem to help one more person or less.

With the roar of Li Yuanfang and Liu Rongtian, all the cemeteries moved soon. The people wearing iron armor all put down their face protection and stood in front. Behind them, two cemeters followed closely. As long as the crossbow arrows in his hand were shot out, they would be handed over to the cemeters around him. The cemeter began to step on Zhangxian, and another cemeter handed over the strong crossbow that had been put on. When a new arrow was shot out, the cemeter who had just turned the cemeters had already put on the crossbow arrows and handed them on again...

This time, only more than 300 people were shooting, but about 600 were supplying them with ammunition. The swift crossbow arrows, whether they were leather armor or physical bodies, would be easily pierced. Unless they were iron armor and heavy shields, they could defend against such powerful attack crossbows.

Although many rebels fell down in the moat, more rebels set up the ladder on the moat and began to rush towards the foot of the city wall along the ladder. With the roar of Li Yuanfang and Liu Rongtian, everyone ignored the rebels who had only weapons but lacked siege equipment at the corner of the city wall and continued to shoot the rebels carrying the ladder by the moat.

"Hurry up, hurry up." On the side of the city wall, dozens of large pots were already vaguely steaming. The young man next to him was blowing the wind hard, and it was naturally oil. When I thought of pouring it hot, I couldn't help but chill. Nono, who had seen fried dough sticks, had never seen fried dough sticks, and it was so disgusting.

Just as I was looking at the oil pan, a rush of people rushed over from the northeast corner of the city wall, and the torch like a long dragon was moving towards us. The leader was Wei Yunqi.

"Chief Wei, why are you here?" I was very moved. He was the first to rush over to rescue us. Following him was also a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and burly. He was holding a good bow in his hand. After walking along the way, I saw this guy rushing to the wall several times and shooting arrows in his hand. It seemed that he was also a fierce man who likes to stab people or be stabbed, and he was almost the same as Li Xuanba.

"Duke Qi, don't blame Wei for being the one. Although the rebels on our side did not launch an attack, they still have to be careful. Wei specially brought a thousand people to reinforce, hoping to help." Wei Yunqi, who had also been replaced by a bright light armor, bowed to me and said.

"By the way, is this a new tactic?" Wei Yunqi and I were polite. The young nobleman noticed the troops standing in front of the female wall and constantly shooting down the city tower with his eyes. He said in surprise.

I grinned and explained immediately: "That's right, our iron armored team is only more than 300. It's enough to defend this 150-step-wide city wall, while the others are only wearing leather armor. If they shoot forward, there will be too many casualties, so I did this method." This method should be very popular in later generations. Anyway, in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, I remember that there was such a scene. A sharpshooter came to shoot the enemy, and three or four people were loading ammunition for him.
