Chapter 84 The first wave of attacks
"Retaliation! Retaliation!" Xiang Anyan, a thousand households of the Archery Battalion, was very angry. With his condescending advantage, the archers in his own camp were actually suppressed by the barbarians, and it was even difficult to fight back.
An archer poked his head slightly, but an arrow shot over and hit the archer's face. The brave archer raised his head and turned over, looking at the sky blankly, and there was no vitality at all.
It’s not that the barbarians’ archery skills are so magical, but that there are too many barbarian soldiers under the Xicheng Gate. The barbarian army has more than 20,000 troops siege, and 10,000 are attacking the Xicheng Gate. The number of Chiyang Guards on the city wall is less than 3,000. The number of barbarian soldiers is more than three times that of Chiyang soldiers. Moreover, the defenders of Chiyang City are basically new soldiers, and the barbarian soldiers are veterans who have been fighting for many years.
"Damn it!" Xiang An Yan glanced at the archer who fell to the ground, "Let me hear it all, don't poke your head out and use it as a target for Mangou. Every time you shoot an archery, you only need to shoot out of the battlements. There are so many barbarian soldiers below, why are you so accurate in sighting?"
Xiang Anyan didn't look outside at all. He just raised his hand and shot the bow and arrow out with a slight hike. He didn't look at where the arrows were flying. Below were densely packed with barbarian soldiers. As long as the general direction was right, he could always shoot an unlucky person.
"Swoosh!" The arrow shot at An Yan really found a bad luck. A barbarian soldier was about to raise his hand to shoot the arrow in his hand at the battlements of Chiyang City. As a result, an arrow flew over and hit his eye socket. The arrow drilled out from the back of his head. The arrow in the barbarian soldier's hand fell to the ground. He knocked on the ground and the arrow actually shot out, hitting the butt of a barbarian soldier in front of him.
"Ah!" The barbarian soldier screamed, touched his butt with his hand, and finally felt a handful of blood.
"Bang!"
With the cover of fierce shooting of bows and arrows, the barbarian soldiers damaged some soldiers and finally carried the ladder under the city wall, suddenly rode it onto the city wall, and placed it heavily on the city wall. Then immediately the barbarian soldiers climbed up the ladder and climbed up quickly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Liyuan immediately roared: "Don't hide, the barbarian soldiers are coming up. Pour the boiling oil down! Boil these beasts to death!"
Two soldiers from Daqi immediately carried an iron pot and poured down towards the ladder.
The barbarians on the ladder saw the boiling oil falling down, and hurriedly jumped down from the ladder. Even so, they still couldn't escape being poured by the boiling oil. The boiling oil poured through the barbarians' clothes and immediately burned them. The barbarians rolled on the ground in pain.
"Go up! rush up quickly!" Xirigoulige roared.
The barbarians behind immediately made up, while the other barbarians kept shooting arrows on the city wall. A soldier from Chiyang Guard who stuck his head out to look under the city wall was shot straight, with a bow and arrow inserted into his chest and fell from the city wall.
Xu Liyuan quickly threw a torch down, and the boiling oil that had just been dumped immediately started to burn. The barbarians who were filling up their positions were covered with fire and rolled down from the ladder in pain. As a result, the boiling oil on their bodies became more and more, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a fireman.
No matter how fierce the barbarians were, they could not withstand such a fierce fire, and could only helplessly withdraw from the range of boiling oil burning.
Xu Liyuan almost consumed most of the tincture oil and gold juice before he struggled to repel the first wave of attacks from the barbarians. The barbarians threw down thousands of corpses and retreated beyond the range of the Chiyang Guard archers.
The defenders at the Xicheng Gate were not much better. Under the attack of the barbarians' arrow rain, the number of defenders killed no less than 200 people, and there were also a large number of injured people. The panicked residents of Chiyang City under the city wall also suffered many casualties.
"Hurry! Get up! Put the pot back on! After the turbid oil below burns, the barbarians will immediately launch an attack." Xu Liyuan shouted loudly.
Du Changgeng stood on the city tower and calmly looked at the barbarian soldiers in the distance. The barbarian soldiers were gathering, and the turbulent fire under the city wall had begun to weaken. The next wave of attack was coming.
Luo Xifeng and two servants followed the little boy to the little boy's house. There was a corpse in the main hall of the little boy's house, covered with white cloth. Now there is a mess of war, and no one has time to hold a funeral for the boy's house, so he can only park the body at home.
The boy's mother fell to the ground, not sure if she was unconscious or dead.
Luo Xifeng stretched the nostrils of the boy's mother lying on the ground with her hand, and felt only a very faint breath. She quickly pressed the Renzhong acupoint hard. After a while, the boy's mother slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xifeng asked.
The boy's mother didn't say anything, and tears suddenly slid down from her eyes.
"You can't do this. People cannot be resurrected from death, and it is useless to be sad. You don't think about your own body, but also to your children. If you have any changes, your child will never have any relatives in this world. Let's do this. You mother and son will follow me to stay in the Du Mansion first. After the war is over today, I will send someone to help you handle your husband's funeral." Luo Xifeng said.
The boy's mother nodded.
In a forest outside Chiyang City, Du Xuan's two thousand men were all hidden in the woods. The two thousand men were all still, without making a sound.
Hu Benrui rode a dragon-scale horse and ran into the woods quickly: "Three Young Master, the first wave of attacks of the barbarians has been blocked by Chiyang City. Now the barbarians are gathering again and are preparing to launch the second wave of attacks. When will we go out?"
"Wait a little. We have too few people and horses. The barbarians still have 5,000 troops and horses that have not moved. The siege of the city has not been damaged. We are easily dragged by the barbarian army, which is extremely unfavorable to us." Du Xuan shook his head. Although he was anxious, he knew clearly that it was not the best time to attack.
"Dongdong, dudongdong..."
The war drums were beating again, and the second wave of siege was about to begin. The barbarians had already begun to approach the base of the city wall.
Although the tincture oil under the city wall has burned out, smoke is still coming from the corpses, and the unpleasant burning smell of the corpses burning is everywhere.
The body of a barbarian soldier who had not yet died was twitching slightly, and a whimpering howl of pain came from his throat.
Xirigoulige raised the scimitar in his hand and roared: "Strike!"
The barbarian army immediately rushed towards Chiyang City like a tide.
"Shoot!" Xu Liyuan also gave an order in Chiyang City. A rain of arrows immediately rushed towards the tide of barbarians.
The barbarians running in front fell to the ground one after another, but for the huge number of barbarians, this loss was nothing. The barbarians also began to fight back with bows, and dense arrows enveloped Chiyang City like dark clouds.
