Chapter 145 When the barbarians wanted to rush to the inner city wall along the ladder, they were shot by the sharp arrows of the plain army, the ladder was narrow, and the arrows could not be dodged, and the barbarians who charged were hit by arrows and fell down the ladder.
Seeing that the arrow array of the Plains Army was powerful, the barbarians also began to shoot back.
They occupy the outer city wall, the terrain is high, and they also have an advantage in shooting, but the plains army is looking for defense, when the barbarians began to release arrows, the soldiers put up the door panels and other things that had been prepared in advance, and the barbarians' dense arrows did not hit a few people, but they were all nailed to the door panels.
The barbarians had a limited number of arrows, and after shooting for a while, there were no arrows available, so the plains army lowered the door panel again, took off the arrows nailed to it one by one, and fired back at the barbarians with the barbarians' arrows.
The commander of the Besa army thought that capturing the city wall would be equivalent to declaring his own victory, but where did he think that there was an inner city wall inside, and the defenders occupied the inner city wall and resisted more stubbornly.
At this time, the commander of the Besa army was also extremely angry, and issued a military order to take Hengcheng at all costs, no matter how many casualties there were, in short, before nightfall.
Under the orders of Commander Besa, the barbarians were dispatched, and even the heavily armored cavalry, which did not play much role in siege warfare, went into battle.
Because the outer city wall has been occupied by barbarian soldiers, the city gate is wide open, and countless barbarian soldiers have poured from outside the city gate like ants, but just recently they were shot by arrows on the inner city wall, and the corpses at the city gate were piled up on top of each other.
The addition of the heavily armored cavalry played the role of a meat shield, they were in front, not afraid of arrows at all, and the barbarians took advantage of their cover to smoothly rush to the wall of the inner city wall, and then hit the door and climbed the wall, and the battle once again entered a stalemate.
The ferocity of the barbarian army's attack can be said to be beyond the expectations of the defenders, Xiao Muqing has been fighting with the barbarians for many years, and he has never seen such a crazy barbarian, the soldiers on the other side seem to be crazy, regardless of it, it seems that even if there is a fire pit in front, he can jump in without hesitation and pave the way for the barbarians behind.
In battle with such a brute, not to mention that the number of your own side is very different from that of the opponent, even if the number of people is equal to that of the opponent, you may not be able to take advantage.
Xiao Muqing stood on the city wall with a sword in his hand, looking at the overwhelming enemy soldiers under the wall, his brows were tightly knit, and he was silent.
As the barbarians advanced more and more, the arrows of the barbarians gradually increased, some were shot from the bottom to the top, some were shot from the top down, the arrow rain was intensive, from time to time there were arrows from Xiao Muqing's side and the top of the head whistling over, the surrounding guards saw this, and they came forward one after another, Qiu Zhen also walked quickly to his side, and persuaded in a low voice: "General Xiao, the enemy arrows are dense, go down to the city wall to avoid it first" Xiao Muqing turned his head and glanced at Qiu Zhen coldly, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "The soldiers are bleeding and sweating in front of the battle, how can I retreat from the battle with me, the soldiers can still fight to the death, if I am afraid of the enemy retreating, will I not be suspected of shaking the hearts of the army" The implication of the words, Qiu Zhen's advice is to shake the hearts of the army.
Qiu Zhen's face was red at what he said, and he didn't say anything more, took a few steps back, and quickly went down the city wall with his guards.
If you talk about foresight, Xiao Muqing is indeed inferior to Qiu Zhen, but in terms of the immediate command of the two armies, Qiu Zhen is far from having the style of a general like Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing's stay on the city wall can indeed play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and even the main general can stay in front of the battle to command the overall situation, how can the soldiers below not fight to the death This is the so-called will have the heart of death, and the soldier will not have the idea of greedy life.
The battle for the inner city wall of Hengcheng is much more bloody and arduous than the outer city wall, the besieging side has received the death order of the commander, can only succeed, can not fail, and the defending side has no way to retreat, can only break the cauldron and sink the boat desperately, the soldiers on both sides have no choice, and the battle is naturally more intense.
The outer city wall is ten meters noble and cannot stop the barbarian army, and the inner city wall is only six meters, and the enemy is still attacking up and down, which makes it even more difficult to block.
By the end of the day, the Plains Army began to be unable to hold on.
The battle has been fought so far, there are more than tens of thousands of people in the plain army, there is no one who does not have colors on their bodies, the wounded soldiers only simply bandage their wounds, and continue to devote themselves to the battle, the situation of the barbarian army is not much better, the casualties can no longer be counted by the number, can only be counted as a team, a team of soldiers go up, the dead and wounded will be exhausted in the blink of an eye, and then fill a team.
At this time, both sides have fought to the point of exhaustion and the end of their crossbows.
However, the most advantageous point of the barbarian army over the plain army is that it has more people, and now it still has follow-up soldiers to fill the battle.
Just when the commander of the barbarian army thought that he could break through the inner city wall of Hengcheng before nightfall, the rear of the barbarian army camp suddenly moved.
The barbarian commander didn't know what was going on, and just wanted to ask the attendants beside him to investigate, when a barbarian colonel rode a horse and galloped over, and when he approached the barbarian commander, he did not dismount, but planted directly from the horse, and the surrounding guards stepped forward one after another to support him.
The commander of the barbarian army looked at the colonel and asked, "What's going on so panicked, let's omit?"
"Commander, no, there is an enemy sneak attack in the rear of my battalion" In Besa, the commanders above the army group are collectively referred to as commanders.
The identity of the commander who led the crowd to Pingyuan County is not simple, he is the younger brother of King Besa, Knisvon Pros, Feng is a family name and can be omitted.
He was the Duke of Besa, under one man and above ten thousand, and if he hadn't been anxious by the plains army, he would not have been able to lead the army himself.
Hearing that there was a sneak attack by the enemy behind the battalion, Knis was also scared into a cold sweat, how did the enemy come from behind him, and his first reaction was to quickly withdraw his troops.
Now that the camp is empty and there are no soldiers available, if the enemy breaks through his camp and joins up with the defenders of Hengcheng, the situation on his side will not be good.
He asked anxiously: "How many people are there in the enemy?"
The colonel foamed at the mouth, stretched out a finger, and stammered, "There is a person" "What" Knys poked his head out, wondering if he had misheard, there was only one person on the other side "It's one person," the colonel said with certainty.
Knnis could hear it clearly this time, and his nose was almost crooked, and there was only one enemy who was afraid of it, and his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Only one enemy will scare you like this."
"The people who came are very powerful, and we can't resist them" Before he could finish speaking, Knis turned his head sideways and said to the deputy chief of the guard beside him: "You bring some people to capture the enemy, remember, keep the mouth alive, I will see for myself who has the courage to dare to break into my camp alone."
"It's Lord Duke," the deputy chief of the guard agreed, flew on his horse, and then waved his hand and took away more than a hundred cavalry guards.
These guards are not ordinary barbarians, but duke's guards, the elite of the barbarian army, the other party only came one person, led by the deputy chief of the guard, more than 100 guards, captured it, it was a sure thing, but what he didn't expect was that these people had gone and never returned, and after leaving, they were like stones sinking into the sea.
The chaos in the barbarian camp did not subside, but the sound of fighting moved from the end of the camp to the front of the camp, and while Knis was waiting for news, a brute soldier covered in blood galloped on horseback, and when he approached, he dismounted in a panic and said sharply: "The guards sent by the commander have been killed by the enemy."
"Ah" As soon as he heard this, Knys, who was originally sitting on a chair looking at the battlefield in Hengcheng, stood up suddenly, his eyes were round, and he shouted: "All of them have been killed" This is a very incredible thing in his mind, the other party is only one person, how can it be possible to kill the deputy chief of guard he sent and a hundred guards He paused for a moment, and then asked, "Is there only one person on the other side?"
"Yes, Yes, Commander" How could only one person be so powerful, Knys was also a little dumbfounded at this time.
He was still stunned, and suddenly, a horse sprang out of the barbarian camp on his east side.
Due to the distance, Knis couldn't really see it, but only one of the other party did.
This man was armed with a long weapon, riding a tall horse, and behind him, there were hundreds of brute soldiers.
It was said that it was chasing, but in fact it was just following, and those brute soldiers did not dare to move forward at all, but just followed behind this knight and watched from afar.
After seeing this knight rush out of the barbarian camp, he paused for a moment, and then rode away towards the gate of Hengcheng.
His speed was not fast, but the pursuers behind him just didn't dare to approach.

The siege barbarians also seemed to have spotted a wind man approaching who was not their own soldier, and the barbarians at the end of the formation immediately rushed towards the knight.
The brute soldiers, numbering hundreds, rushed towards the knight in a black and oppressive manner, as if they could drown him in the sea of people in an instant.
The corners of Knys's mouth, who was looking from a distance, were raised, and his fists were subconsciously clenched.
But at this moment, the weapon in the knight's hand suddenly shone brightly, and then, aimed at the many barbarians who rushed over, he picked it out from the bottom up. airplanes Knis was so far away from the battlefield that the sound of the aura breaking the wind could be faintly heard in the ear chakra.
I saw countless spiritual waves flying out with the moment the knight waved his weapon, and the number of spiritual waves and the wide range of attacks were simply overwhelming, and hundreds of brute soldiers were the first to be hit by the messy spiritual waves.
There was no human figure on the field, only dust, mixed with the blood of the Dao, and the screams of the soldiers could be faintly heard in the ears.
Soon, the spirit wave swept by, the flying earth dispersed, the dust settled, and then looked at the field, there was no one complete brute soldier, these hundreds of people, as if they had fallen into the meat grinder, the armor was broken, the ground was full of flesh and corpses, and the blood stained the ground red.
Seeing such a scene, the barbarian generals who were watching were dumbfounded, the guards and the chief of the guard were dumbfounded, and even Knis.
I don't know how long it took, he slowly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "The spirit is extremely chaotic":
