There are many scenes of the ancient siege on TV. Whether it is the feudal society in China or before the Middle Ages in Europe, the siege is definitely the cruelest war.
When one side defends and the other side attacks, the arrows are like locusts, the rolling wood is like a lime bottle of fierce fire oil from the sky, the high cloud ladder is built on the wall, and countless strong men hold the siege wood and hit the city gate with their lives -- the siege war in the era of cold weapons, whether siege or guarding the city, is filled with life.
It is said that Mai Tiezhang, a famous general of the Sui Empire, led his army to attack a city in Koguryo. It took three days and three nights to capture the city. There were less than 18000 of the 40000 troops left, while there were only less than 5000 defenders destroyed. From this, we can see how miserable the fate of the siege side was in the siege.
Xia Xiaoyun never thought that she would see the siege on TV in the 21st century. Although the scale could not be compared with the war of that era, the dead were real.
Before the city gate was completely closed, at least dozens of people had to be shot to death by bows and arrows, stabbed to death by spears, and blood flowed through the crack of the door. Those outside were not afraid of death. They rushed here like moths, and their strange cries became more hoarse.
This is a one-sided massacre.
Several people who rushed to the city gate were provoked by the spear and threw back. When they fell to the ground, Xia Xiaoyun saw clearly that they were in rags. Some even wrapped a rag around their waist. They were unkempt and could not see their appearance. They held weapons such as wooden sticks in their hands.
The beggars outside are also better dressed than them. They are dirty and can't cover their bones. They are picked up with a spear. It is estimated that they can be blown away in a gust of wind. They are brave but fearless. They know that they are going to die and don't retreat.
The man who was lucky not to be killed by the spear got up with a strange cry, opened his hands and rushed to the imperial chariot.
When Guo Yiqin subconsciously raised the long knife, the light of the knife had flickered one after another, but the summer mountain rushed over and split the two people in half in a few times, without much blood splashing.
Only in summer, the sedan bearers carrying the imperial chariot and those people in black with prayer flags stood on the spot like sculptures without any action. When they saw someone being chopped in front of them, they didn't blink, as if it was not people but ants who died.
Xia Xiaoyun is also very calm -- she is completely stunned.
In her most terrible nightmare, she could not dream of such a bloody killing scene. Dozens of living people died in front of her. The rich bloody smell and the fishy smell after the rupture of internal organs blinded all her reaction nerves and just looked at it.
In fact, it's not just her, even Guo Yiqin, who claims to kill without blinking an eye. At present, the heartbeat almost jumped out of his throat: not because too many people died, but because of the way of killing.
The huge thick stone gate, which was about to close, suddenly stopped moving.
When the city gate was not closed, those wild beggars outside threw some big stones to support the closing stone gate. This kind of stone was very hard, and the mechanism strength of closing the stone gate was not too strong. It was normal to be supported.
"Ho, Ho, Ho!"
The beggar who attacked the city outside, after successfully stopping the city gate from closing, excitedly shouted like a beast, regardless of the spear stabbed outward like a poisonous snake in the door, and pushed in through the crack of the door.
If you squeeze in one, you'll be killed. It's definitely a moth to the fire without flinching.
The body of the person stabbed to death is either dragged away by the people outside or stepped on the foot. It is used as a stepping stone to facilitate the attackers to climb up and charge in from high.
The blood gathered into a stream and flowed on the ground. The corpse in the crack of the door was getting higher and higher, and finally reached the place where the man in black couldn't stab the city. Beggars kept falling from it waving wooden sticks.
Whoosh -- poof!
A black light flashed. A sharp arrow pierced the beggar's chest. He screamed and fell to the ground. As soon as he was about to get up, he was pierced by several spears.
"Shoot, shoot!"
In summer, the mountain roared and kept bending its bow and arrow, shooting at the beggars who kept jumping down from high: "everyone, get ready to fight!"
Those beggars have no swords, guns, bows and arrows, and their bodies look thin. It is estimated that Xia Xiaoyun can deal with three or two of them at the same time.
However, there are too many of them, and they are all fierce and fearless. The screams of those who rush in in front of them when they are slaughtered have not yet fallen, and some people have fallen down one after another.
It's like you're dealing with a large group of ants. You can trample to death with one foot, but no matter how many you trample to death, they will eventually successfully surround you - as long as you're not afraid of death, the number is always the key to success or failure.
These beggars are ants. No matter how fast their knives are in summer, they can split a person in half in the blink of an eye, but they will be surrounded by a steady stream of beggars before they pull out their knives.
Once surrounded by the maggots of these people's tarsal bones, weapons such as bows, arrows and spears will not be used. We can only fight hand to hand with them like beasts, pick with nails and bite with teeth.
In this case, gorgeous martial arts are no longer important. Both the defenders and siegers have become beasts, roaring, biting, rolling on the ground, rolling and rolling.
Xia Xiaoyun was welcomed by the summer mountain. There were as many as 30 people guarding the city gate. They were strong and sharp. Killing those beggars was like a tiger into a sheep. They killed at least hundreds in a few minutes.
It's a pity that there are too many beggars. Just like beggars all over the world come here, the strange cry of Ho Ho resounds outside the city gate. The most conservative estimate is that there must be thousands of people.
Let's say it's human. Even thousands of pigs that don't pose a threat to people lie there and let them slaughter with knives in summer mountain -- they have to slaughter constantly, and they have to die after finishing.
What's more, these are not pigs, but fierce people who are not afraid of death. They fight ten people for a man in black, and they are also the final winner.
"Ah!"
"Mom!"
Beast like howls, weeping and even wailing are mixed in the door hole of more than ten meters. In summer, there are fewer and fewer people on the side of the mountain, but more and more beggars.
The four sedan bearers carrying Xia Xiaoyun had already put her down, roared and rushed up with knives. They killed more than ten in an instant, but they were soon drowned by the tide of beggars.
"Ho ho!"
Finally, a beggar rushed out of the battle group, held up a long knife, and jumped at Xia Xiaoyun with a strange cry.
Xia Xiaoyun, whose legs and stomach were softened by the bloody killing, had already vomited and crouched by the wall. She didn't even know how to dodge. She just looked at the long knife cut down.
Fortunately, Guo Yiqin was still by her side. When the knife light swept across, the man was cut off by his waist, and Xia Xiaoyun was covered with stinky internal organs.
"Go, go!"
A bloody man jumped out of the regiment and roared.
This is summer mountain.
When there were more and more beggars and fewer subordinates, he finally realized in despair that they could not hold the city gate and had to retreat quickly.
Without his command at all, Guo Yiqin had already stopped at the waist, picked up Xia Xiaoyun and rushed to the city desperately.
"Ah!"
The summer mountain behind Guo Yiqin suddenly screamed.
Guo Yiqin looked back and saw half of his spear stabbed out of his chest. He was about to die.
Even if he could live, Guo Yiqin would not leave Xia Xiaoyun and turn around to save him. It is estimated that dozens of city defenders are torn to pieces by beggars and are flying like locusts.
Behind the woods in the distance of the city, there was a murky roar and the neighing of horses, and the earth was trembling at the feet.
Guo Yiqin didn't even think about it. Holding Xia Xiaoyun, he rushed to the left oblique stab, leaped over a bush with unknown name, rolled on the spot and avoided a spear from the fierce fire.
The spear thrown by the flying spear roared past Guo Yiqin's left shoulder and stabbed the tree with a thud.
Guo Yiqin was surprised.
He was always watching the battle when the two sides were fighting to defend and attack the city just now. He could see that those skinny beggars were extremely malnourished and could gain the upper hand only because there were many people. Even if their red eyes stimulated their strength, they couldn't throw the spear so far.
Moreover, the accurate hand is quite accurate. Even if it had been long ago, Guo Yiqin's angle when rolling and getting up was one step ahead of the spear. Fortunately, he could twist his waist in time to avoid and barely dodge.
There are experts among these beggars.
If Xia Xiaoyun didn't have to be protected from danger, Guo Yiqin might really go back with a knife and find the expert to fight.
After a few more tumbling, the scream sounded from behind, accompanied by the neighing of the horse and the neat and loud cry: "kill, kill, kill!"
Guo Yiqin stood up and stuck it behind a tree. Looking back, he saw that countless knights in black rushed into the beggars with long knives, splitting left and right. This is the real tiger into the sheep and pouring snow on hot soup.
The key is that there are enough knights in front and arrow formation. Like an awl, with the help of strong impact, they can easily penetrate the beggars and roll back after reaching the city gate. With only two sweeps, there are not many beggars who can stand, and they all run around.
"Shoot an arrow!"
Those knights in black didn't hurry to chase those who fled. With the leader's violent drink, countless arrows roared like locusts, shot at the city gate cave, and lit a blue and white flame in the air.
After the arrows smeared with white phosphorus were shot into the city gate cave like a rainstorm, a red flame immediately rose. The beggars who were rushed to the city gate cave by the horse howled and struggled one after another, and became firemen.
Guo Yiqin doesn't want to see it anymore.
He thought he was cruel enough to kill people, but after seeing the real killing, he knew how "simple" he used to be. No matter how disgusting those beggars were, they were killed in large numbers like moths, which hit him like a heavy hammer. He couldn't help vomiting, turned and ran away.
Run far away, even to hell, I don't want to see more here.
Guo Yiqin turned around -- his back hurt suddenly, his muscles stiffened, his raised right foot fell, and slowly lowered his head.
Just now, he once saw with his own eyes a spear running through the chest of the summer mountain.
Now he saw it in himself.
The spear tip was blue and blood dripping on Xia Xiaoyun's face in his arms.
Obviously, Xia Xiaoyun felt Guo Yiqin's body suddenly stiff, slowly opened his closed eyes and saw the spear.
Guo Yiqin didn't look back to see who assassinated him behind his back. He just looked down at Xia Xiaoyun, smiled hard and said, "it seems that I can't accompany you for too long."
