lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
The sound of crying and messy footsteps outside the city disturbed this deserted but peaceful morning.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of the city gate being hit by wood was like an invisible sledgehammer hitting people's hearts, and everyone raised their spirits.
On the main road directly opposite the city gate, multiple obstacles have been built due to tactical preparations. A total of four high earth walls have been built in the middle of the road.
After Guo Shao entered the city, he ran behind the first wall, and then placed a wooden bench to look at the situation at the city gate.
At this moment, I saw an old woman pestering a dead wooden stick, walking slowly and tremblingly to the empty space in front of her.
Isn't she the blind old woman next door, how did she get here? Guo Shao suddenly felt very strange.
Because the open space in front is basically closed on three sides.
The front is the widest road in the town, but it is blocked by the wall array; several walls rely on the houses on both sides to form a maze-like folding pattern, with only a gap on the left.
The gap between the houses on both sides was also heavily blocked with earth walls, wood, and stones, and the streets outside the main road were even more winding and complicated... Wufang Town did this to prevent large crowds from spreading out and facilitate street fighting.
How can a blind old woman bypass such a complicated road? Could it be that she has been at the gate of the city early? "Ah! Ah..." the old woman opened her mouth suddenly and called out twice, her voice hoarse, her toothless mouth looked flat.
She was dressed in ragged clothes, dirty and torn, and her gray head was as messy as a straw.
"Killed Qidan, killed Qidan..." The old woman yelled again vaguely.
An old man who followed Guo Shao stretched his neck and shouted: "The city gate is about to break, and the Khitan soldiers will rush in immediately and go away quickly!" Guo Shao said at this time: "Death is not to her. Kind of relief.
" "Boom! "The city gate finally collapsed.
At first, a group of noisy civilians came in, and soon they were driven away by the cavalry and fled everywhere.
Amid the rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves, a group of cavalry rushed straight into the city. When the first ride passed by the hunched blind old woman, he swung the iron bone with a hammer.
But the Khitan cavalry quickly stopped the attack, because they were not facing the road that they could sprint, but the walls.
These walls are not high and can climb up with bare hands, but the cavalry can't go straight.
Guo Shao retracted his head and leaned his back against the earth wall, silently listening to the movement of the horseshoe, waiting for the opponent's decision.
For a short while, he felt as if he had been waiting for a long, long time.
How will the Khitanese react? It is said that the nomads are very alert and run fast together suspiciously.
When they realize that there may be an ambush, they may immediately turn around and leave the dangerous place...If the Khitan people retreat when they know it is difficult, Wuyu Town is equivalent to singing an empty city plan, and this is not a bad thing.
Because Guo Shao is still not sure that he can win this Khitan warrior and cannot win a battle, it is better not to fight.
But the Khitanese don't necessarily run away when they see something.
They are powerful and might not be easily frightened; besides, the style of Wufang Town doesn't look like a place where elite soldiers look.
In the worst possible case, the Khitan people retreated first, and then tried to find a breakthrough from other places.
If the battle begins to spread from other directions, street fighting can also be carried out, but the terrain is not as advantageous to Guo Shao as the front gate.
He leaned against the wall for a moment, then took a long breath and suddenly jumped onto the wooden bench.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the cavalry of Tiguduo who hammered the blind woman looking forward.
Guo Shao immediately pulled the bowstring, "pop!" The string sounded without hesitation, only twenty or thirty steps away, and an arrow was shot accurately and unmistakably on the man's face.
The boy didn't have time to call, and fell directly from his horse.
Waiting for the other Khitan soldiers to react, when they hurriedly took the arrow, there was another chord, and one person was shot again.
Unexpectedly, without warning, Guo Shao killed both of them and jumped straight off the wooden bench.
He hurriedly picked up the wooden plank shield and put it on top of his head, and the ten people behind the wall quickly learned to lift the plank.
Sure enough, there was a crackling string after a while, dozens of arrows swished overhead, and some hit the wall directly.
Outside the wall, "Wow" barked, Guo Shao didn't show up, just listened to the sound of horseshoes.
Listening to the movement, the Khitan soldiers did not attack, and then there was another rain of arrows.
After a while, a few torches were thrown on the roof. There was a house that was a thatched house, and a big fire ignited immediately.
Guo Shao moved the round stool somewhere, climbed up and took a look carefully, and saw that the Khitan infantry had followed and reached the gate of the city.
A general on horseback yelled loudly, pointing finger painting.
Without a word, Guo Shao draws an arrow and puts on the bowstring first, then suddenly stands up, draws the bow, and releases the arrow without stagnation. The guy who was making gestures fell from the horse.
Guo Shaoshe|She drew back immediately after finishing.
The pot immediately exploded outside, and all kinds of incomprehensible shouts were in an uproar, and then a lot of footsteps were heard, and the infantry should have come up.
When Guo Shao heard the movement, he waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Go.
"Then ran away with the people around him.
They didn't stop, they followed the wall proficiently for a while, pushed a door open and entered.
The others closed the door and guarded it, and Guo Shao went straight up the wooden stairs.
He gently opened a small window in a messy room. The view from this location was excellent. The long road in the middle was within a hundred steps.
The strength of the bow in his hand is not strong enough, but he is confident to hit the target within fifty steps.
Looking down from the window, a large group of Khitan infantry swarmed into the roadway of the earth wall, and some of them were eagerly overcame the wall.
The best way to climb the wall is to expose your whole body within range as soon as you climb the wall.
"Boom"..."Boom"...The sound of the bowstring bounces in the air is rhythmic! The arrows are empty, and the armor is useless. Guo Shao shoots his face and neck at such a close distance, not to mention many pawns with incomplete armor.
Only a few moments later, the target was exposed, and the Khitan archers immediately fought back. Their arrow methods were also more accurate, and arrows continued to fly in from the small windows.
But this can't solve Guo Shao.
He first showed up and took a look, then immediately avoided, and then went to the window to release an arrow, staying very short.
Bows and arrows are not firearms. It is difficult to hit fast-moving targets with only a small window.
After a while, a rocket wrapped in oilcloth greeted him, and the roof caught fire.
Guo Shao let out another arrow, and saw a few Khitan soldiers rushing towards the door below, rushing down the stairs, and shouting to the old man holding the gongs and drums: "Knock the gong, hit hard!" Klang..." The unpleasant gong sounds like noise.
Guo Shao tied the bow to his back and drew out the barrier knife to shout: "Kill!" rushed out the door.
A thin wall diagonally opposite suddenly collapsed. The lower half of the wall was deliberately repaired so thin that it could collapse with a kick.
Suddenly I saw Yang Biao taking the lead, holding a long iron knife, the tiger descending the mountain and rushing out with a group of people, immediately blocking the wall.
Just beside Guo Shao came out, a wall also collapsed! Big-headed Luo Mengzi held a wooden shield in one hand and an iron rod in the other. He rashly squeezed it up with the wooden shield, waved the iron rod and hit.
Guo Shao carried the knife and went up with the people in the house.
For a time, most of the Khitan pawns were blocked on both sides in the wall formation, and both ends were beaten frantically.
Such a gang fight, neither maneuverable nor able to start, is like fighting in the streets.
The Khitan soldiers in the middle tried to climb the wall, and the wall was in chaos.
Luo Mengzi used to use copper hammers well, but he seemed to have lost his weapon. He used a solid iron rod to make do, and it was very fierce for a while.
The stick that beats armor is not as sharp as a copper hammer, but it still makes people cry and call mother.
Guo Shao likes to cooperate with this kind of desperate generals, let him rush to the front desperately, and help mend the leak by himself... It is said that you go first if you die.
"Fuck!" Luo Mengzi slapped his head while scolding, and slammed a Khitan soldier's helmet with a bang. The black-faced and big-mouthed Khitan had an ugly face and fainted.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a Khitan soldier stab Luo Mengzi’s abdomen with a spear from behind. Luo Mengzi didn’t notice. Even if he was pierced by a layer of armor, he was struck by melee force. Stabbed in the intestines? When his companion needed him the most, Guo Shao had quick eyes and a quick hand. He stepped forward and grabbed the spear. The spear used the inertial force of the opponent's body. Guo Shao couldn't help it. The spear pierced his chest and "ding" With a sound, he felt the depression of the plate armor on his chest.
The Khitan soldier grasped the spear with both hands, and when he stabbed out of a large gap in front of him, Guo Shao stepped forward and slashed with a knife to look at his face. The metal clash of the blade and the helmet, the sound of tearing flesh... ...Sprayed blood on Guo Shao's face and chest.
The screams seemed to sound in my ears, hissing his lungs.
...The two sides rushed forward, unstoppable, and the Khitan army made a big somersault in this small corner.
A **** road was killed in a dirt alley. People stepped on the corpses. The walls were stained with blood, the air smelled like nausea, and the wind was miserable.
In the outer alley with dirt walls, some Khitan soldiers saw that the situation was not good and escaped over the wall, but most of the people stuck inside were killed and injured.
The rest of the Khitan army retreated to the gate of the city, like a bird of fright.
There was a sporadic scream in the alley. It was the wounded Khitan soldier who was mended on the spot.
There is obviously no prisoner in this kind of war.
The fierce and frantic fighting seemed to have ceased in an instant, and I heard the Khitan people’s whispering from a distance. There was constant breathing and coughing in the alley, and people were tired.
Guo Shao sat against the wall for a while, only feeling sore in his arms and shaking his right hand.
He shook it a few times, and reached out and wiped the sticky blood from the palm of his hand back and forth on the ground.
The sound of horses' hoofs and footsteps was heard from outside, and the soldiers in the town were obviously not capable of winning and pursuing them.
After a long time, the soldiers walked out of the wall and looked around. The enemy was no longer seen in the direction of the city gate.
The fire from the houses on both sides soared into the sky and smoke billowed, and the several houses that had been lit were almost completely burned out.
The crowd was chattering, some were discussing, some were asking for help, and some were calling for help.
At this moment, Guo Shao, covered in blood, came out suddenly.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet a lot, and the people who had loosened up and huddled together in a mess, all let go and let Guo Shao pass through the middle.
People's faces were suddenly filled with awe, and their eyes gathered on him unconsciously, "General Guo!" "Envoy Guo..." Guo Shao did not speak, but nodded tiredly in response.
