The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Shortly after Shi Wengong and others withdrew from the city, the Jin soldiers launched a second wave of attacks.

In this attack, the quantity and quality of the golden soldiers are higher. There are a lot less cannon fodder and a lot more real soldiers, especially those who have been parasitized by demons. The weakest ones are equivalent to An Jin. They are warriors, and some of the elites already have the fighting power of powerful warriors.

In addition, there are a lot more siege equipment this time, especially the tower shields. It looks like there are at least hundreds of them. These tower shields are all more than five meters high and are made of thick wooden boards with paste on them. A layer of mud, this wet mud can prevent the rockets that hit the top from igniting the tower shields, and the thick wooden boards can prevent most arrows from penetrating these tower shields.

A large number of Jin Army soldiers hid behind these tower shields and slowly approached the city wall of Zhending Mansion.

In order to kill as many enemy troops as possible before they approached the city wall, Song Jiang and Shi Wengong let dozens of catapults and crossbows on the city wall fire continuously, hoping to destroy those tower shields before allowing the crossbowmen to shoot. Kill the Jin soldiers hiding in the rear.

After being destroyed three tower shields, the Jin Army also launched a lot of slingshots and crossbows to shoot at the defenders on the city wall. At the same time, there were hundreds of little giants over three meters tall, and they fired a piece of A stone was thrown onto the city wall.

Those little giant-like Golden Army soldiers were obviously affected by the demons in their bodies and became so big. As their sizes continued to grow, their strength also increased day by day. At this time, they could all make guest appearances. Catapult type.

In this kind of shooting, many slings and crossbows were quickly smashed on the city wall, and hundreds of soldiers who controlled these slings and crossbows were killed and injured.

Due to the enemy's catapults and crossbows, more than fifty tower shields were successfully pushed under the city wall, and then a large number of Jin Army soldiers hiding behind these tower shields swarmed out, or Climb up with a ladder, or simply climb towards the top of the city with your bare hands.

Those Jin Army soldiers who climbed with bare hands had sharp claws on their hands and feet due to mutation. These claws were as hard as fine steel and could be inserted into solid stone walls with a hard thrust, making those Jin Army soldiers like geckos. They usually climbed up the city wall quickly. Even though the defenders on the city wall were desperately firing arrows and knocking them down with rolling wood and rocks, those Jin soldiers who had mutated like wild beasts could always block such a dense attack. Find ways to dodge under fire. In less than a minute, dozens of Jin Army soldiers climbed up the city wall with bare hands. One by one, they jumped on the wall like wild beasts, roaring and killing the defenders on the wall.

Fortunately, the defenders in this city were either Shi Wengong's men or Song Jiang's men. Among them, Shi Wengong led his soldiers to repulse the Jin army's attacks many times before, so those soldiers had a psychological advantage in facing the Jin army, even if the enemy seemed to be no longer strong. No matter how ferocious he is, he still dares to fight.

Song Jiang was good at boosting the morale of soldiers, so although he was a little unsuited to dealing with these Jin soldiers who were parasitized by demons, none of them backed down. They all stood at the top of the city and started a fierce battle with these Jin soldiers. of fighting.

"Kill!"

Guo Bin, who had been promoted to the rank of captain, roared loudly, and at the same time, together with the five or six soldiers beside him, he stabbed the steel gun in his hand at a Jin Army soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city.

The spearhead, which was specially made into the shape of a triangular armor-piercing cone, was extremely capable of breaking armor. Under the forceful thrusts of those Qinglong Empire soldiers, it pierced the iron armor of the Jin Army soldier, among whom the strongest Guo Bin pierced his flesh with one shot, and the gun tip was deeply embedded in the sternum of the Jin Army soldier.

However, even though the Jin Army soldier who was not yet firmly on his feet was pierced by five or six spears as soon as he appeared, he still did not fall to death immediately. Instead, he kept waving his hands and feet, and the sharp claws on them were made of fine steel. The gun barrels of the gun were scratching out sparks from time to time. Once it was caught on the body, I am afraid that even with the cloth mask protecting the body, it would not be unscathed.

"push!"

As Guo Bin gave another order, five or six people worked together and pushed the dying Jin Army soldier out of the wall in one breath, screaming and falling from the wall more than ten meters high.

The fate of the other golden soldiers was not so good. After all, the first batch of people to climb the city wall were only a few dozen people, but there were at least thousands of defenders on each wall. Most of the soldiers could barely hold on for a few seconds before being killed.

But soon more golden soldiers began to climb the city wall. As the ladders and siege towers were set up on the city wall in large numbers, the golden soldiers began to swarm up the city one after another. The defenders on the wall could no longer Those Jin Army soldiers could not be killed so easily. Occasionally, some defenders would even be killed by those Jin Army elites.

Seeing the waves of Jin soldiers rushing to the top of the city, making the fighting on the city wall more and more intense, Lu Fang and Guo Sheng wanted to escort Song Jiang, who was not high in force, to withdraw from the city wall first.

But Song Jiang understood that the more critical the situation, the more senior military officials like him could not retreat, otherwise it would affect the morale of his own soldiers. In addition, Song Jiang also has a set of Mingguang Armor that was rewarded by Ye Tianlong. This set of Mingguang Armor is made of dark alloy, which is now in short supply. It is extremely strong, and Song Jiang is still very confident in its defensive power.

Therefore, Song Jiang rejected the kindness of the two guards leaders and stayed at the top of the city, calmly commanding his soldiers to defend the city.

Song Jiang's younger brother Song Qing, on the other hand, was very self-aware. He knew that he had neither the talent to lead nor any outstanding martial arts. Continuing to stay in the city was purely a burden, so he quickly brought several other people with low martial arts value. The scribes descended the city wall and withdrew into the city.

At this point, only soldiers and those generals with strong military strength were left on the city wall. In order to reduce the casualties of his soldiers, Song Jiang sent out all his generals with some strength. With these former Liangshanshuibo leaders as the backbone, other soldiers faced those Jin soldiers and fought hard. Also much more calm.

But soon, Wanyan Aguda saw that his soldiers had not achieved much results after fighting for a long time, so he also sent out many strong men under his command, including many close associates of the Wanyan family. Most of these people are now high-ranking generals in the Jin Dynasty, but now they have been sent out by Wanyan Agu and used as cannon fodder for sieges. This shows that they are really under the pressure of the national advisor. He tried his best.

As these many Jin Kingdom warriors also joined the siege, the pressure on the defenders on the city tower suddenly increased. Even the Liangshan leaders were in danger when faced with the fierce attack of these Jin Kingdom warriors, and it was extremely difficult to cope with it. .

Even after a fierce battle for a long time, the Liangshan leaders even suffered casualties.

After fighting fiercely for half a half, Du Xingxing Kong Liang felt very tired. He could not help but swing a simple sword a little slower in his hand. However, the Jin Army general opposite him found an opportunity and stabbed out with a spear, hitting the hole in the middle. Liang Liang's heart and the breastplate on his chest were directly pierced by this fierce spear. Then the Jin Army general roared and pushed Kong Liang back seven or eight steps, knocking him over along the way. A large group of soldiers guarding the city.

Kong Liang's brother Mao Touxing Kong Ming saw his brother's chest was stabbed and he was vomiting blood. He suddenly became anxious and waved the steel gun in his hand to force back the opponent in front of him and went to rescue his brother Kong Liang.

However, due to his mediocre martial arts skills, the Jin Army general caught his flaw in his haste. He first deliberately retreated, allowing Kong Ming to go to rescue his younger brother with peace of mind. However, after he turned around, he kicked him to the ground. A javelin left behind by someone unknown.

After the javelin flew out, it hit Kong Ming in the back of the heart, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

And just when Kong Ming endured the severe pain of the injury and finally stabilized his body, the Jin Army general quickly caught up and cut off Kong Ming's head with a knife.

Song Jiang saw his two nominal apprentices both die in the blink of an eye, with blood spilled on the battlefield. He couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye.

However, Song Jiang soon adjusted his mood, opened his eyes and continued to command the battle. His confidant Li Kui was sent out by him, and he was also assisted by the mourning sect god Bao Xu. He quickly divided the two by three times and five times. The Jin Army generals who killed Kong Ming and Kong Liang were killed, allowing the morale of the nearby soldiers to recover again.

However, Song Jiang had just stabilized the situation here. On the other battlefield in the distance, Du Qian, who was touching Tian Duqian, had just waved his iron rod to fend off a jump attack from a Jin army general. A short Jin soldier The soldier risked his body and approached him, then slashed out with the big knife in his hand, and immediately cut off Du Qian's legs from the thighs.

Du Qian, whose legs were cut off, screamed and fell down. After enduring the pain and reluctantly getting up, the Liangshan veteran suddenly discovered that he, a strong man more than two meters tall, was actually taller than himself after his legs were broken. The surrounding soldiers are now shorter.

Fortunately, he did not have to worry about this for too long, because soon the golden soldier who sneaked up on him stabbed him in the face, completely ending the life of the Liangshan veteran general.

Yunli King Kong Song Wan was so angry when he saw his good friend died tragically. He was also tall and struck out with an axe, sending a golden soldier in front of him flying seven or eight meters away. Then he He quickly stepped forward and dragged Du Qian's body towards the city wall. After all, the fighting on the city wall was too fierce. He was afraid that if his friend's body was left here for a while longer, it would soon be killed by soldiers from both sides. It was trampled so hard that no one could be seen anymore.

And just when Song Wan was dragging his friend's body to the city wall, he happened to see Hu Sanniang's brother Hu Cheng being besieged by several Jin army elites on the way. Because his martial arts was not very good, he still couldn't completely block it. The elite attackers of the Jin army were hit hard on the head by one of the Jin soldiers holding a mace. The helmet on his head was directly smashed, and then the spiked mace scraped his head hard. On the left side of his cheek, his left eye was directly shaved off. A lot of skin and flesh on his face was also scraped off, and the white bones underneath could be seen.

Seeing that the golden soldiers were about to step forward and kill Hu Cheng, Song Wan quickly grabbed a half-length spear from the ground and threw it hard at the golden soldier who was chasing the fastest.

With a pop, the fastest chasing Jin Army soldier holding a mace was immediately pierced through the chest by the spear thrown by Song Wan, and then his body was thrown back by the huge force carried by the spear. He walked several meters away and knocked down several comrades behind him.

Hu Sanniang also noticed that her brother was in danger at this time, and immediately used Qinggong to rush here with a few leaps. Holding the sun and moon swords, she hacked to death those golden soldiers who dared to hurt her brother Hu Cheng in just a few moves. .

However, the battlefield where she was originally located had a huge increase in pressure due to her sudden departure. The sword in the hand of Shi Yong, the weakest general Shi Yong, was directly picked up by a Jin Army, and then stabbed in with a shot. In his right eye, the tip of the spear penetrated his skull, ending the life of the Liangshan leader on the spot.

Li Yun, the blue-eyed tiger on the side, couldn't help but feel bad when he saw this, and immediately wanted to retreat. After all, his martial arts skills were not much better than that of Shi Yong! If you continue to stay, you will probably be killed by that golden general.

A golden soldier wanted to stop him, but Li Yun swung the sword in his hand and cut the ungrateful soldier in half.

However, in such a short period of time, the Jin Kingdom warrior had already caught up with him and stabbed Li Yun in the right shoulder with a spear, causing his right arm to be seriously injured and unable to use any strength at all.

Seeing that Li Yun would soon follow in Shi Yong's footsteps and be killed by the golden general, Hu Sanniang rushed back in time and swung a red soft whip out of her hand. It wrapped around Li Yun's body and then pulled hard. Then he pulled Li Yun away from the golden general's gun, causing his subsequent shot to hit the target.

At this time, Han Shizhong also arrived with a eyebrow-tip knife. He knocked the spear out of the golden general's hand in three moves, and then cut off his head with a horizontal slash.

"Song Wan, take them down quickly and settle down!"

Seeing that Han Shizhong had already dealt with the golden general, Hu Sanniang carried the dead Shi Yong and the seriously injured Li Yun to Song Wan, and handed them over to the big man.

Li Yun grabbed a corpse with one hand, while Li Yun covered the wound on his right shoulder and followed Song Wan nervously. They carefully avoided the fighting around them and finally got off the city wall safely.

The fighting on the city wall was becoming more and more intense at this time. The senior officials of the Jin Kingdom seemed to really not care about the lives of the soldiers. After one wave of soldiers and horses were consumed, they immediately sent another wave, not giving any chance to the soldiers defending the city. No chance to breathe.

After fighting for a long time, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire, except for the freak Li Kui who got more energetic the more he killed, were all very tired, and the casualties were increasing, so Song Jiang discussed with Shi Wengong After some discussion, it was decided to let the reserve team go up and let the soldiers who were very tired from fighting retreat to repair themselves.

However, because those golden soldiers were launching continuous fierce attacks, it was still not easy for the troops to withdraw and change defenses. They could only do it bit by bit. At the same time, Shi Wengong brought seven or eight of the strongest innate warriors under his command on the city wall. Rushing back to kill, the stronger Jin army generals were firmly contained, giving other soldiers time to change their defenses.
