One by one, the soldiers with long guns were ordered to hold long guns and quickly stab out long guns. The position of the spearmen was all close to the outside of the city wall. In his hand, he had a long spear with a thick goose egg. The sharp point of the spear showed a terrible light.
Two feet away from the tip of the gun, there is a small bag bound with gauze, the size of a basketball.
Around the gauze, there are holes.
Even if the spear is fixed on the wall, a little white powder will fall from the holes of the gauze. Because there is no rapid shaking, there is not much dust falling down.
This scene was seen by Duan Xu with sharp eyes.
Duan Xun frowned, but he was puzzled. He couldn't figure out what he was doing?
Duan Xu's eyes turned and fell on Yang Cong and asked, "Mr. Yang, look at the soldiers in charge of defense on the city floor. Each soldier's long gun is tied with a bag. What seems to be in it? What do you think that is? "
Yang Cong thought, you don't know, ask me what to do?
As Duan's counselor, when Duan is in a good mood, he calls Mr. Yang Cong by his first name. When Duan is in a bad mood, he calls him by his first name. He was greedy for Duan's rich salary, so he followed Duan.
Otherwise, I would have left early.
Yang Cong thought about it in his heart and then said, "general, I'm afraid these bags are used to resist the attack. It was only when we got close to Chang'an that our whereabouts were revealed. Within a few miles, it was too late for the troops stationed in Chang'an to prepare defensive equipment. So Chang'an's defenders hastily made these simple things for defense. "
"Nonsense!"
When Duan Xu heard this, he called a curse.
He knew that it was for defense, but Yang Cong made a big call and didn't get to the point.
Duan simmered his eyes and looked up the city again.
By this time, the Xiliang soldiers under Duan's command were close to the top of the city wall. One by one, soldiers with long guns saw this, carrying guns to the soldiers who climbed up.
"Puchi!"
The sharp spear penetrated into the soldiers of Xiliang army.
All of a sudden, blood splashed.
When the long gun stabbed the soldiers of Xiliang army, the back and forth movement of the gun made the bag wrapped in white gauze shake quickly. With the swing of the gauze, dense white dust is quickly scattered in the holes on the gauze.
There were hundreds of spearmen on the tower, not one or two. With the dense white dust particles falling from the bag, a white mist is formed.
The Xiliang soldiers who are climbing up are all covered with the white dust.
The soldiers of the Xiliang army, with their heads down, didn't feel anything. But looking up at the soldiers of the Xiliang army, it did not have such a good result. When they looked up, dense white dust particles fell in their eyes.
In a flash, there was a scream.
In the eyes of the soldiers, there was a burning sensation, which made people unable to open their eyes.
This happened to all the soldiers who attacked the city. Originally, the siege was in full swing, but the soldiers who attacked outside the castle were temporarily out of sight because of the dust, and the siege stopped.
"Whew! Whew
Dense bow and arrow, still shooting.
The huge wood with a thick disc was smashed and hit the soldiers who were attacking the city.
one by one, the soldiers could not escape and were hit one after another.
In a short period of time, countless casualties.
At this moment, the attack of siege was severely damaged, and there was no previous fierce attack.
"It's lime. Don't look up. Watch your eyes. Don't let lime powder enter your eyes. "
In the Xiliang army, there are generals shouting.
As soon as the lime powder enters the eye, because the eyeball is moist, the lime powder will release heat as soon as it meets with water. Although this little bit of lime powder into the eyes, give off little heat, but the eyes are fragile.
If the lime powder is sprinkled on the skin, even if it is wet with water, because the amount of lime powder is small, the skin will be firmer and will not have much impact.
But the eyes are different.
Eyes are too fragile, a little heat, can bring influence to the eyes.
This is Xu Shu's killing move.
Although this kind of defense means is extremely poisonous and will cause harm to countless soldiers of Xiliang army, it is a battle between the two armies. In order to keep Chang'an City, even if Xu Shu couldn't bear it, he had to do it.
Tolerance of the enemy is cruelty to one's own soldiers.
Xu Shu could not ignore the lives of his soldiers, so as long as he could keep Chang'an City, he would rather use it for everything. Xu Shu listened to the wailing sound from the city tower, looked at the solid city, and his face was more firm than ever.
No matter what others say, Xu Shu thinks it is right.
He has to do it!
The siege of the city slowed down slightly, but not for a long time. After many of the previously injured soldiers of the Xiliang army fell down from the city building, countless soldiers attacked and killed again.The offensive is still in full swing.
Just now, the scene that the soldiers' offensive was blocked also fell into Duan's eyes.
Duan Geng didn't respond for a while. The general of the current party sent back the news. Duan Geng knew that it was lime powder that was spilled down. His face was angry and he gritted his teeth and said, "this damned garrison used lime powder. It's very hard for the powder to fall into the eyes. Hateful, really hateful. Once this will break Chang'an City, it is bound to make him look good. "
Yang Cong comforted: "general, such a small means, that is, surprise can play an effect, can only succeed once."
"Our soldiers are now on guard. They are going to rush up with their heads down. They won't be hurt again. Although the offensive was not as fierce as before, it was enough to suppress the garrison. "
"As long as our soldiers tear up the defense line of Chang'an Garrison and enter the city, we will win."
Yang Cong said: "the garrison on the upper floor of Chang'an city is impossible to block our offensive."
Duan simmered and nodded.
His eyes, too, were full of fierce color. At this moment, he clenched his fist and encouraged his soldiers.
Siege, the biggest loss.
Because on one side of the siege, there must be countless soldiers to attack the city, and they must use the flesh and blood of countless soldiers to open the way.
This is the biggest loss.
Only by climbing on the tower, can we stand firmly on the tower, the loss will be greatly reduced. In fact, once the large-scale boarded the tower, in the tower after a foothold, the war will come to an end.
If the defending side loses the city, it will lose the last line of defense.
"Herald, the first person who ascends the tower of the city will be rewarded with 100 gold; the first person who kills the soldiers of the city will be rewarded with 100 gold when he is promoted to a higher level. There is a reward for killing the enemy. "
Duan Wen gave another order.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Duan's intention is to use simple rewards to encourage soldiers in the army to rush up regardless of everything.
With the soldiers shouting in order, the news spread to the front battlefield. After hearing the news, all the soldiers under Duan Wen's command went crazy and rushed up quickly.
Without awards, they have to go up.
Now there are awards, so we have to fight hard. What if we get awards?
For ordinary soldiers, 100 gold is a huge sum of money, enough to make up for the family for a long time. What's more, it's more worthwhile to kill the enemy and get promoted.
One by one, they rushed to the city tower quickly, and the attack was fierce again.
Xu Shu, sitting on the upper floor of the town, saw that the attack was becoming fiercer and fiercer without any confusion. He arranged for his soldiers to resist in an orderly way and defend the last line of defense.
Time, little by little.
There are already corpses under the tower, and countless people have been killed and injured.
Duan's army suffered countless casualties.
Although Duan's soldiers paid a heavy price, after more than an hour and a half, some soldiers finally got on the tower and began to stand firm on it and fight for the control of the tower.
More and more people, go to the city.
This makes Duan Yu happy.
Kill the tower, the situation is very favorable for him. In fact, in Duan's opinion, the troops stationed in Chang'an are quite fierce and have resisted for such a long time.
According to Duan's consideration, he wanted to break the city for more than half an hour, which was more than half an hour in the past. But it's not bad now. I finally got to the city building to have a foothold.
Next, break through the gate.
Although a large number of Xiliang soldiers killed on the tower, in fact, the rhythm of defense on the tower was still under Xu Shu's control. Because from the beginning to the end, he didn't send all his troops up, and there were only a few soldiers on the tower.
Xu Shu looked at the situation and saw that the fire was almost the same. He immediately gave a secret order to the soldiers around him.
Soon, the suspension bridge rope was cut off.
