Chapter 356: Dingxi City Falls

When the Qiang soldiers marched to a place not far from the city wall, they could clearly see that the mud and bricks on the sloping surface of Dingxi City had slid down in several places and piled up on the ground to form a large pool.

At first glance, it seems that the accumulated soil has lowered the height of the city wall a lot.

However, there is no huge gap as rumored.

However, one part of the wall did collapse.

"This……"

The experienced veteran looked at the past from afar, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

If someone were to climb up a place that could collapse when it rains, wouldn't it trigger another landslide?

"Warriors, attack..."

Daigongshan's voice, as powerful as a bull, rang out loudly. No one dared to disobey this majestic command.

So the Qiang soldiers rushed forward, taking one step forward and one step back.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the enemy troops whose movement speed was slowing down, holding shields and approaching step by step, putting up an effective defense.

"Archers, draw your bows, draw your arrows, and prepare to shoot!..."

The longbowmen knew that their mission was to slow down the enemy's offensive, and that random shooting always had unexpected results.

Then, a sharp "whoosh" sound was heard in the drizzle.

Arrows fell among the enemy like locusts.

Except for a very few unlucky guys, most of the arrows were blocked by the Qiang soldiers' shields.

"Keep playing!"

The commander on the city wall continued to shout at the top of his lungs.

Then, another wave of dense arrows was shot out.

The effect remains the same as before.

But just as the archer was about to take out his arrow and shoot again,

The Qiang soldiers under the city fired at the city wall through the gaps in their shields.

"Shield defense."

The defenders, holding shields, quickly blocked the battlements on the city wall.

Those archers who were caught off guard or had no shields to protect them were unfortunately hit by the sudden arrows.

Some were even unlucky enough to be shot directly in the head and die on the spot.

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became extremely tense.

The Qiang soldiers quickly arrived at the foot of the city wall, and some of them tried to climb up along the collapsed area.

However, the loose soil could not bear the weight of the climbers, and it became muddy due to the rain.

In an instant, cold corpses were left in this place.

However, the Qiang soldiers did not retreat. They ruthlessly trampled on the bodies of their fallen comrades in front of them and continued to advance tenaciously.

Finally, the city wall at that gap collapsed again on a large scale, revealing a large area for climbing.

The Qiang soldiers who advanced first were knocked down.

The Dingxi soldiers who were holding on were dragged down from the city wall.

The two sides fought fiercely in this narrow space, and it was difficult to tell one from the other for a while. Those who climbed up were all turned into blood and mud, and their faces were unrecognizable.

A centurion was so angry that he killed

He jumped directly from the city wall, holding a big knife high in his hand, and rushed towards the climbing Qiang soldiers like a tiger.

With one move, he was as powerful as a mountain pressing down on one’s head.

Seeing this, the quick-eyed and quick-handed Qiang soldiers quickly stretched out their weapons to block.

"Dang Cang..."

Sparks flew, and the powerful impact pushed the opponent back several steps.

While the enemy was still recovering from the shock, the centurion quickly stepped forward and slashed with his sword, instantly killing the enemy.

Others were inspired and imitated his actions, jumping off the city wall and rushing towards the enemy group below.

After a fierce swing, several people successfully forced back the enemy who had finally climbed up the city wall.

"Pfft..."

Another Qiang soldier was defeated and was slashed in the neck by the brave Dingxi soldiers. Blood gushed out like a fountain and flowed into a river on the ground.

"Oops..."

The Qiang soldiers holding spears in the back shouted loudly and thrust forward with their spears.

The long spear went straight into the waist of a Dingxi soldier, holding him down and preventing him from getting close.

The man's eyes were wide open, his face full of pain. It was obvious that the bullet had hit a vital point. Perhaps because of the piercing pain, he grimaced, bit his lips tightly, and held his breath.

He tried to swing his sword at the enemy, but the gun handle was too long for him to reach.

He looked at the wooden gun barrel with difficulty, trying to cut it off, but unfortunately he failed. His legs bent and he lost his life.

Seeing this, the centurion shouted angrily.

He stretched out his hand, grasped the spear tightly, and chopped hard at the Qiang soldier's head.

The blow was so powerful that it split the opponent's helmet and the knife was deeply embedded in the skull.

He raised his foot and kicked hard. When he pulled back the knife, there was a big hole in the blade.

Such a powerful momentum frightened the Qiang soldiers behind and they took two steps back unconsciously.

This was a brutal battlefield, with chaotic fighting everywhere. There were also some ignorant young soldiers who were unaware of the situation and stabbed the centurion with their guns.

The centurion took advantage of the downhill terrain and turned sideways, nimbly avoiding the fatal blow.

The moment he turned around, the young Qiang soldier had no time to put away his gun. He saw that the gun barrel was firmly grasped by the centurion, and the big knife in his other hand chopped him towards him without hesitation.

Another Qiang soldier fell.

Before the centurion could be happy, he felt his body blocked by a force. He reached out and found that the Qiang soldier who had been scared away by him was stabbing him with a spear.

The centurion grabbed the spear tightly, pulled it forward, and then pulled it back, and the Qiang soldiers instantly appeared in front of him.

He stabbed out without hesitation, sending the opponent into a cold slump.

However, after this fierce fight, the centurion felt unwell. He looked down and saw residual blood on the tip of his spear, slowly flowing down along the red tassel.

Seeing that the centurion was injured and standing unsteadily, several Qiang soldiers rushed towards him fiercely.

The centurion was pierced by several spears simultaneously, yet he still held on tightly to the spears with both hands, and did not fall down for a long time...

Soon, the Qiang soldiers successfully attacked the city wall from this place.

The Dingxi army was forced back to the corridor again, and the two sides engaged in close and bloody hand-to-hand combat.

same,

Daraxinbu also led the Qiang soldiers to attack the city wall.

After two hours of desperate fighting, the two city gates were lost one after another, and the battle continued until dark.

"General, two city gates have been lost. Mobilize the defenders of the other gates and retake them."

Upon hearing the bad news, the deputy general spoke anxiously to Qian Dazhuang.

"No, you take the men over there and lead them to retreat to the second line of defense."

Qian Dazhuang remained calm in the face of danger and decisively gave orders to the deputy general.

After the deputy general left, he again ordered the captain of the personal guards to take a hundred men to another lost city gate to carry out the same retreat mission.

After everything was arranged, he sent out messengers to order the soldiers at the city gate that had not yet been lost to hold the second line of defense.

After arranging everything, he personally led his men to the East Gate.
