Chapter 375 Collapse
In a house under the city wall of Leshan County, Doctor Hua was healing the wound on Shen Lan's forehead.

Xiao Beiheng brought the tiger crouching cannon and bombarded the city wall of Leshan until late at night.Some shells flew high on the tower, and one of them broke the pillar and collapsed a corner of the tower.Shen Lan was just below, unable to dodge in time, the prosthetic hand was pinned down by the falling beam, and the flying rocks scratched her forehead.

While the tiger crouching cannon was filling up, Qiang Lin and others removed the beam to pull her out and send her down the city wall for treatment.

Dr. Hua stood behind her, bandaged her forehead, and said, "The wound is not deep, and there is no need to suture it, but it may leave a scar after it heals. Is there any place that needs to be healed?"

Shen Lan smiled, and was about to speak when there was a muffled bang sound outside the house, followed by several bang bangs, as if a giant was beating the city wall with both fists continuously, even the room shook, and the ceiling fluttered. Ashes fell, candles flickered.Doctor Hua had been on guard for a long time, holding onto the table next to him to stop.

That was the result of the shells from the Tiger Crouching Cannon hitting the city wall.

After the sound passed, Shen Lan smiled and raised her dented prosthetic hand, saying: "Hand is pressed by the beam... But it shouldn't need to be treated."

Doctor Hua stood up straight, glanced at Tie Shou, shook his head and said with a smile, "Should this be misfortune or luck?"

"My sister said that good and bad depend on each other." Shen Lan stood up and bowed to Doctor Hua, "I'm going to help my brother-in-law defend the city."

Doctor Hua nodded, without further words, he said to the sergeant waiting outside the door: "Next."

Shen Lan walked out of the house, passed through the crowd supporting the wounded, and walked towards the city wall along the smoky street. After walking a few steps, there were a few more bangs, and the ground shook. She couldn't stand stably, shaking back and forth Twice, then fell to his knees.

She stood up with the stone beside her and took a deep breath.The air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, just like the smell after fireworks are set off during the New Year.However, there was no trace of festiveness in this smell, but a breath of death.The night sky was covered by thick smog, and the stars could not be seen at all. The streets in the city were full of houses that had been destroyed by tiger squat guns.

When she was the eldest lady in the Duke's Mansion, when she swallowed her anger at Xiao Kai's place, she never thought that she would become what she is today, and would face such a difficult predicament.But now she is no longer as cowardly as before.

Several Xiliang soldiers who passed by ran over carrying stones, raised their shields and surrounded her and said, "Master Military Advisor, there are flying gravels everywhere, let us escort you."

Shen Lan nodded, stood up by herself, and asked, "Are the Queen and King An still on the city wall?"

A sergeant said: "My lord, the Queen and the others are hiding on the horse path. The shells of the tiger squat cannon can't hit them. We have already sealed the city gate with stones in the afternoon, unless the enemy smashes down the city wall. "

At this time, another group of soldiers came, and everyone raised their shields above their heads to prevent the gravel from hurting people, and escorted Shen Lan to the front of the city wall.

Xiao Zhuo, Mei Dai and other generals stood close to the race track of the city wall, and the race track was next to the city wall, so that even if a shell crossed the city wall, it would only fly into the city and not hurt them.The defending sergeants followed suit and stood against the base of the city wall holding their weapons.

Shen Lan ran to Xiao Zhuo and said, "Brother-in-law, can the city wall go up now?"

Xiao Zhuo raised his finger and shook it, said: "Sister, the top of the city wall is too dangerous now, and it is easy to be hit by the shells of the tiger squatting cannon. As long as they are firing the cannon, the soldiers will not dare to come, so there is no need to go up to the city wall to observe."

Mei Dai's mask was covered with a thick layer of dust, with two bloodshot eyes shining, she said to Shen Lan: "Your forehead is injured, you should go to the county government office to rest."

Shen Lan said: "My brother-in-law and the queen are here, how can I hide behind... I don't know where my sister is now."

Mei Dai turned her head to look at Xiao Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Your elder brother-in-law is also worried about Sister Yuexi. I advise him to think about what's in front of him first. People are bombarded with cannons. If you want to find Sister Yuexi, you have to first Hold on to the city."

Just as Xiao Zhuo was about to reply, there was another loud noise from the city wall, the sound was deafening, causing everyone to stagger and couldn't stand still.

"This voice is wrong," Qiu Liming, who was not far away, got up, pointed at the city wall and shouted, "Look, my lord."

Everyone looked back at the city wall, and found that there was a huge crack in the dusty city wall, wide enough for an adult to enter, and as high as the ground.This location was the part of the city wall that the Leshan County Guard hadn't repaired. Under the continuous impact of shells, the city bricks finally loosened and cracked.

"The city wall is about to collapse!" Xiao Zhuo shouted, waving to the soldiers who were still standing under the city wall, "Get out of there quickly."

Nearly a hundred soldiers were still standing under the cracks in the city wall, all looking up, and everyone ran away after hearing Xiao Zhuo's warning.The talents ran away, and there were several loud bangs, and the city bricks fell to the ground like rain.

But when the smoke dissipated, Shen Lan looked at the crack, and found that the section of the city wall had completely collapsed, and a small hill was piled up with rubble, revealing a huge gap that could accommodate two carriages side by side. Through this gap, she could even see To the lights of the enemy camp opposite.

Xiao Zhuo got up and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy is about to attack. General Qiu and Army Division Shen led the crossbowmen to climb up the city wall to defend. King Qianglin led the infantry to block the gap. Queen Mei Dai led the army to respond. If Qianglin If the king can't resist, he will replace him immediately."

Everyone responded and started to act one after another.

Shen Lan boarded the top of the city, and saw several fire dragons swarming out from the enemy camp, winding towards the gap in the city wall.That was Xiao Beiheng's infantry. He must have seen the collapse of the city wall and sent troops to attack.The enemy's fire was dense, and the sound of killing was loud. Looking at it under the dark night sky, it was like thousands of glowing fireflies rushing towards them.

"Sister, this is the last battle." Shen Lan looked in the direction of Jutieshan, "If we can block the enemy's attack, we sisters still have a chance to meet each other. If we can't stop it, we will see you in the next life."

She and Qiang Lin respectively led the crossbowmen to stand on both sides of the gap in the city wall.When the enemy's infantry rushed over, the crossbowmen fired ten crossbows at the densely charging enemy army, and immediately retreated to install the crossbow arrows after shooting.Stand in front of the repeater in the second row and continue firing.

Shen Lan held on to the crenel, and saw that the enemy army rushing to the front dropped hundreds of corpses in an instant, while the enemy army behind them continued to charge over the dead in front, and at the same time shot the crossbowmen on the city wall with their bows.There were tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the arrows were like locusts. The infantry standing beside the crossbowman holding a large shield immediately blocked the large shield in front of the crossbowman.

The enemy's arrows shot at the shield, making a dense sound, like countless moths flapping their wings, forcing the crossbowmen to hide behind the large shield.The enemy's infantry took the opportunity to rush to the gap in the city wall, shouting and pouring into the gap.

Qiang Lin held his saber, raised his shield and shouted: "Kill them all." After speaking, he rushed forward immediately.The Xirong soldiers behind him also drew their sabers and faced the enemy who rushed into the gap.

The two sides began to fight at the gap in the city wall, swords clashing, screams everywhere.

Qiu Liming sent twenty crossbowmen to the edge of the gap and aimed at the enemy troops below.Shen Lan on the opposite side of the gap also followed suit, and a total of forty crossbowmen on both sides fired crossbow bolts at the enemy troops in the gap.

After fighting fiercely for half an hour, the enemy's dead bodies in the gap piled up into a mountain.

The general reported the battle situation to Xiao Beiheng: "Your Majesty, the opponent is desperately defending. We lost more than 3000 people and were unable to rush in."

Xiao Beiheng was extremely excited when he saw that a section of the Leshan city wall had collapsed, but when he heard the general's report, he suddenly became angry.Even if the attack failed in the first two days.Now that the city walls have been broken, they still can't get in. It's like a helper.

He drew out his Yanque sword and pointed at the general: "The whole army is out, and they set up ladders to attack the city overnight. If the sun rises and they can't attack Leshan, they will be dealt with by military law."

The general ran away with his head in his arms.

With Xiao Beiheng's death order, all the generals had to attack with all their strength, and the dead bodies under the Leshan city wall were piled up several feet high.

Xiao Zhuo's crossbowmen who were in charge of guarding the city wall also suffered heavy casualties. There were only more than 700 of the [-] continuous crossbowmen left, and all the crossbow arrows were shot.Without the attack of the Liannu, the enemies rushed to the city wall in dense numbers, set up dozens of ladders and began to ascend the city.

Xiao Beiheng personally came to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, and began to see the raindrops of stones and logs on the top of the city, but he still felt that it was not possible. I can't help passing ecstasy in my heart.

The other side couldn't stop him from going to the city, which meant that they couldn't hold on anymore, the dawn had already appeared in the east, and the great victory was just around the corner.

He called the general to come, saying: "Victory is at hand, all the troops rush forward."

The general took the order, and the whole army went out, turning into a sea of ​​people under Leshan City. Leshan City was like an isolated island in the sea, constantly bearing the impact of sea water.

Xiao Beiheng was very excited, so he rushed to him on a horse, fell off the horse, crawled to him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have been deceived. The border army has already wiped out Tiefutu, and they have already killed it!"

Xiao Beiheng looked down and saw that it was Lin Kui who was in a state of embarrassment. He didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What deception?"

Lin Kui yelled: "That Shen Yuexi lied to us. The Tiefutu soldiers that the messenger saw in the camp were all pretended by the border army! General You has already died in battle."

"what?"

Xiao Beiheng took a step back and stayed where he was.

He didn't expect that he, who was smart all his life, would be tricked by Shen Yuexi, a girl.

A resounding sound of horns came from the east, and an army appeared on the horizon, about [-] soldiers. The banner was Zhao Mu, and the leader was Wei Liang.

Wei Liang looked at the crowds of enemy troops in front of Leshan City, as well as the collapsed Leshan City Wall, and the piles of corpses piled up at the foot of the city wall. Opportunity is at hand, march on."

The border army responded with a bang and began to advance to the foot of Leshan City.
