Chapter 740 Bloody Battle

The military orders of the King of Han are naturally immediate.

As soon as Zhu Heng received the order, he personally came to the city wall and raised his sword to press the formation. The opponent's soldiers roared:
"Listen to me, whoever takes a step back dies!" Zhu Heng hacked to death a soldier who came down from the ladder.

"The one who doesn't flinch will die!" Zhu Heng hacked to death another soldier who didn't dare to step forward.

"Whoever is weak in killing the enemy will die!" Zhu Heng beheaded several people in a row, making his soldiers fully understand that - advancing is death, retreating is death, death is death anyway!Only by taking down the city wall can there be a way out!

With this kind of awareness, the soldiers of the King of Han's army did not care about life and death at all.They screamed, holding thick wooden shields, and frantically rushed to the top of the city again.At this time, the firearms team had disappeared, and what was waiting for them was the Death Squad led by Cheng Zheng himself!
Cheng Zheng had also turned from embarrassment into anger.He didn't expect that he would take the order so swearingly, and he would lose the city wall at the beginning of the battle. Where would he put his face?The kid surnamed Xue was still afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he sent someone to ask him if he needed support?Depressed, Cheng Zheng almost vomited blood, and kicked the short-sighted guy off the city wall, and he personally led the Death Squad to the top!

After the baptism of a bloody battle just now, the soldiers of the prince's army also knew that if they didn't try their best, they would only die!This time they were crazy too, all of them rushed towards the enemy with bloodshot eyes and roars!

When the two sides met, sparks burst out!
The city wall was completely turned into a field of blood and iron. Everyone howled and roared inhumanly. They slashed, kicked, and headbutted. They were not even human anymore. A ferocious beast!
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like two ferocious long snakes entangled together, biting and strangling desperately on the top of the city...

One after another, the troops of the King of Han were cut off from the top of the city, and they piled up around the siege vehicles like dumplings, gradually burying the vehicles...

The top of the city was even more horrible. Layer after layer of blood could cover the feet of the defenders, and then flowed down the cracks in the bricks, dyeing most of the city wall a terrifying black red.Incomplete corpses piled on top of each other, and I don't know how many dead and wounded robes were carried down. Anyway, there was no one left of the original defenders, and even the second wave of reinforcements, there were not many left...

However, the huge sacrifice is not meaningless. The sundial has already pointed to the noon position, and the city wall of Zhenjiang is still firmly in the hands of the prince's army!

Seeing that there was no time, Zhu Heng's eyes were completely red. He pulled the cloak on his shoulders, and holding a wrought copper hammer, he rushed to the siege engine.Seeing this, his personal soldiers hurriedly wanted to stop the general, but it was too late...

Zhu Heng's strength is boundless, and his martial arts is superb. He rushed to the city wall in two or three strokes, swung the cooked copper hammer round, and smashed it with one blow!The copper hammer weighing forty to fifty catties was danced like a wheel by him, making a whistling sound of breaking the wind, as long as it touched a little, it would be blown away!Either the tendon is broken!Some unlucky ones were even swept to the head, and the head was like a watermelon that was smashed, and the brains splattered all over the place!

Three or five times with all his strength, Zhu Heng forcibly cleared out the Zhang Xu space that was originally full of people in front of him!

How else to put it, will it be the courage of soldiers?Seeing the bravery of their own generals, the morale of the generals of the Han Dynasty was also greatly boosted. They frantically rushed to the top of the city to firmly hold this hard-won position!

Seeing this, Cheng Zheng became furious, if he didn't beat the guy with the copper hammer down, this section of the city wall would fall!Then the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in a hole!

"Shoot them to death!" Cheng Zheng yelled sharply, not caring about accidentally injuring his own people, and at the same time, holding his Xuanhua axe, he rushed towards Zhu Heng!
Even if Zhenjiang City fell into disrepair for a long time, the perfect defensive structure will not disappear. Inside the city wall, there is still a seven or eight-foot-high female wall with arrow stacks for shooting on it. Archers use this as a support to shoot arrows down the city!
The advantage of this is that it will not affect other soldiers defending the city, and the two sides will go their own way without interfering with each other.However, Cheng Zheng's order at this moment was to let the archers shoot arrows at the city wall!
Seeing the soldiers of the two armies in a mess, the archers were really dizzy.In this case, it is impossible to avoid accidentally injuring one's own side!
However, a section of the city wall has been taken away. If there is no support, more and more enemy soldiers will rush to the top of the city and occupy more of the city wall!

In desperation, the archers had no choice but to grit their teeth, change the bows and arrows originally aimed at the enemy soldiers below the city to the city, and then draw the bow and shoot!
Bows and arrows shot at the occupied part of the city wall from all directions, and I don't know how many of the same robes were shot. However, more bows and arrows still accurately landed on the Han Wangjun who had just gained a foothold. Get shot in the head!

Zhu Heng hurriedly splashed water with the cooked copper hammer, blocking countless arrows for himself and the soldiers behind him!

While blocking the arrow with all his strength, Zhu Heng suddenly shook his hands, and with a clang, a [-]-jin Xuanhua ax slammed hard on his copper hammer!

Zhu Hengdeng's jaws burst open, and blood flowed out!But he is worthy of being experienced in many battles, he didn't pay attention to the wound on his hand, he held it tightly as soon as he let go, swung the copper hammer across, and was about to smash the enemy who sneaked up on him!

Apart from other things, Cheng Zheng's Xuanhua ax, which has been practiced since he was a child, is superb, probably not much worse than his ancestor Cheng Yaojin!Seeing the opponent's copper hammer sweeping towards him, he rubbed his hand, the surface of the ax was flattened, and when he wiped the bone sticking to the copper hammer, Zhu Heng's strength was diverted, and the hammer head rubbed against his armpit and swept away. past!
Cheng Zheng's ax slashed at Zhu Heng's hand!

Zhu Heng didn't expect that this reckless man could make the big ax so delicate, and he was in a hurry-seeing that his fingers were about to be cut off, he had no choice but to let go of the hammer and withdraw!

Zhu Heng wanted to let go of the hammer, and hold the ax after wiping it, but he didn't expect Cheng Zheng's ax to be as flexible as chopsticks. When the ax poked forward and pulled back, he rubbed his hands together, and the inside of the ax blade would be hooked. Hammer handle!Gently pulling it into his arms, he grabbed Zhu Heng's hammer and grabbed his hammer!
Seeing that the hammer was snatched away by his opponent as soon as they met each other, Zhu Heng became so angry that he rushed towards him with his bare hands!
Cheng Zheng's ax struck head-on, cutting Zhu Heng in half!

Seeing that the opponent's main general was killed, the morale of the prince's army was greatly boosted.The King of Han's army suddenly lost its backbone, and after a long period of time, it was thrown from the top of the city again by the prince's army!
Seeing that the critical situation was finally resolved, the ax in Cheng Zheng's hand fell to the ground...

"General!" The soldiers exclaimed, only then did they realize that Cheng Zheng's back shoulder blade had been hit by an arrow at some point!
On this day, the lives of the soldiers of the two armies were cruelly strangled between such repeated attacks and losses, between regaining and missing!Until the sun turned to the west, the city wall of Zhenjiang was still firmly in the hands of the prince's army, making His Royal Highness' order of 'take the city wall before noon' become empty talk.But this time, the military law of His Highness the King of Han was not implemented - because Zhu Heng had already died in the siege.

Everyone saw that the Commander, seeing that he could not complete the task, chose to charge himself, and finally died on the top of the wall...

Under the banner of the King of Han's army, His Highness the King of Han, sitting on the top chair, stared at the city wall of Zhenjiang, which had become a place of Shura, and said with hatred: "Unexpectedly, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are really tenacious..."

"After all, Zhu Gaochi is famous for defending the city..." Wang Bin sighed.

"Boss, that trash..." Zhu Gaoxu spat, "He wasn't in command, and the defense of Beiping wasn't his credit either."

"My lord, what should we do now?" Wang Bin returned to the topic and asked solemnly, "It is already impossible to take down Zhenjiang City in one go."

"Continue to attack with all your strength." Zhu Gaoxu said with a blank expression: "We will consume them to death!"

"Yes." Wang Bin was not surprised by Hanwang's decision at all. This prince who regards human life as nothing, even killed his companions from childhood to adulthood, how could he feel sorry for the lives of soldiers?

.

Seeing that the sun is about to set, the battle still has no intention of stopping, because the King of Han's army is still attacking tirelessly and fearing no death, and the Prince's army can only accompany them to the end...

"Replace Xinziying, rush to repair the city wall, and replenish equipment! Continue to fight!"

Mo Wen's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he hadn't had a sip of water since the morning.

An officer was ordered to go, and he would lead his subordinates to replace the Xinzi Battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties, and continue to withstand the seemingly endless onslaught of the King of Han's army.

As for Xinziying, it was actually at noon that they replaced the Cingziying, which was almost wiped out...

Only half of the officers and soldiers of the Xinzi Battalion were withdrawn, and they were covered in injuries and mentally disturbed.Each of them had a hideous face, and when they came down from the top of the wall, they were still shouting and killing.Either the eyes are straight and the mouth is chanting, thanking the gods and Buddhas in the sky.No matter which one, they are all exhausted, and they don't even have the strength to walk down the tower.Many people rolled down the stairs with garlic on their legs...

Looking at these soldiers who seemed to have crawled back from hell, and the prince who climbed up the tower accompanied by Jian Yi and Zhu Zhanxi, his heart felt like a knife was piercing his heart.He is very clear that this army has reached its limit, and it may collapse at any time if it continues to fight...

A soldier stumbled and was about to fall in front of him, Jian Yi hurriedly stopped him and scolded: "Don't bump into Your Highness!"

"Get out of the way." The prince repelled Jian Yi, and supported the soldier with his own hands. Looking at the young and frightened face, the prince patted him on the shoulder, and said in a warm voice: "I have someone prepare hot soup and rice. Go eat something and rest well..."

"Thank you, Your Highness..." The soldier thanked excitedly, and left under the watchful eyes of the prince.

The prince sighed and went to the top of the city.

"Why did Your Highness come up? Please hurry down, this place is too dangerous." Mo Wen was shocked when he saw the prince coming.Although he is relatively behind here, there are still flying arrows and flying stones coming from time to time. If the prince is injured, this battle will be a fart!
