Chapter 653 (1/2)

Each ladder of the Shu army was leaning against the wall of the city. Under each ladder, two soldiers of the Shu army fought hard to ensure the stability of the ladder. Other Shu soldiers, however, held up their shields, bit their single swords in their mouths and climbed up the ladder. At the same time, the archers behind them still kept a hold on the garrison at the head of the city.

Qi Huang, who was at the head of the city, did not panic because of the action of the Shu army. He calmly commanded all archers to step back and let the swordsmen and spearmen all come forward to prepare for the Shu troops who would rush to the city. However, the archers are shooting at the outside of the city from the back. After all, the number of Shu troops is too large, and the number of cloud ladders is also limited. Many soldiers of Shu army are still blocked under the wall, and these Shu troops just become the targets of archers' attack.

The long Gunners were not waiting there. They put their spears on the top of the ladders on the wall, and then pushed them out of the city. This became a battle between the long gunners and the Shu soldiers under the city wall. However, in terms of force, it was more convenient for the long Gunners on the top of the city wall. As these long Gunners turned red and blue veins burst out on their foreheads, they gave a big drink and pushed the ladder out of the wall. Those Shu soldiers climbing on the ladder are in bad luck. Those who can't get up and down on the ladder can only fall down the ladder from mid air. The lucky ones are caught by their colleagues, and the ones with bad luck just fall on the blade held by their colleagues.

However, this did not make the Shu army timid. On the contrary, it aroused the blood of the Shu army. After being pushed away by the garrison, more ladders were put up. Under the command of He Yi, dozens of Shu soldiers carrying a sharpened log ran into the gate of the city. This kind of simple vehicle was prepared by the Shu army when they arrived outside the city last night. They just found a big tree outside the city, cut it down, and then sharpened it.

Looking at the rush car rushing to the gate, Qi Huang's face changed immediately, and he said to an assistant general behind him: ”take 500 swordsmen and guard the city gate below! Let people bring stones and sandbags from the city! Anyway, it's the gate of the city! Even if the gate of the city is sealed off, no enemy can be allowed in! ”

The adjutant immediately took five hundred swordsmen to carry out Qi Huang's orders. He was also disappointed that Qi Huang's orders were given in time. When the swordsmen arrived at the gate of the city, cracks had begun to appear in the solid city gate. Without saying a word, the deputy general directly ordered the swordsmen to carry some sandbags placed in the arch of the city gate to push up, and use their own bodies to block the impact of the vehicle. But the attack outside the city is not over. Although the archers' attack has suppressed the speed of the Shu army's attack, the Shu army still climbs up the city's head along the ladder, and the siege has begun to evolve towards hand to hand combat.

Those garrisons who had been waiting by the women's wall would not be polite to the Shu troops who had just begun to take off. They waved their weapons and chopped at them. A soldier of the Shu army had just reached out a hand and climbed up the wall, but he was cut off by the axe soldiers at the head of the city, and his hand was directly cut off. The Shu army seized his broken hand and fell down from the cloud ladder with a scream, and only a shower of blood fell in the air.

However, the tragedy of his comrades in arms did not make those Shu soldiers shrink back. Instead, they attacked the city more fiercely. After being stabbed by a garrison's spear in his shoulder socket, a soldier of the Shu army glared at the stabbing soldier with red eyes. He threw his knife shield in his hand, grasped the spear in both hands, and pulled the guard to jump down the wall of the city and die together.

The ferocity of the Shu soldiers did not affect the soldiers of the vanguard army of the post Qin Dynasty, but made the guards of the original Nanman kingdom a little timid. Only a few of them were soldiers from various families who had followed Li Yuanhe to fight against Dachang army. Most of them were strong men recruited from the people in recent months. A few months ago, they were ordinary ordinary ordinary people. How could they have seen such a situation. The morale inspired by Qi Huang and Yan Duoqi began to decline. Originally, these guards were fighting with a momentum. In terms of combat effectiveness, how could they be compared with the elite of Shu army who could be compared with the latter Qin army.

Seeing that the guards began to retreat, Qi Huang's eyes flashed a chill, but he directly waved the mace in his hand, and a stick hit the head of a garrison who wanted to retreat. Seeing all the soldiers on the left and right looking at him in amazement, Qihuang hummed coldly, ”if there is anyone who intends to escape, this is the end of the line!”

Qi Huang's cold words made the garrison soldiers who had already fought the retreat shiver. Looking at the little blood still hanging on the wolf toothed stick, they could only suppress their fear and turn around and kill the Shu soldiers who were constantly climbing up the city. Qi Huang turned to Yan Duoqi and said, ”Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here. Please remove the city head first!”
