169 Lone Light Dotted Firefly Chapter 157
The night was thick, and the earth was covered in firelight. The war drums of the Wei army sounded, and the sound of horses' hooves was uniform. There was a roar outside the city, but the walls became more and more silent. The soldiers ran away silently, and the soldiers who had just been napping suddenly widened their eyes and grabbed the spears in their hands.
In a short time, among the Wei troops in the formation, a fully armored chariot slowly emerged from the escort of a group of heavily armored cavalry. Wei Qi swayed in the wind on the chariot, Wei Gongzijin stood in front of the chariot in sleeve armor, chest and back armor pieces interspersed, although the hood was hidden deep in its face, but the majesty was unstoppable. He looked at the city, and saw Huan Song, who was standing on the wall with red eyes, and clapped his hands, and ordered the soldiers to take a group of captives who were tied up by the five flowers to the front of the battle, with an arrogant expression, and laughed loudly and shouted: "The old thief, if you don't open the city gate quickly, you will be captured, if you don't surrender, I will kill you!"
There were only ten captives, and Huan Song's only son, Huan Chong, was pushed to the forefront. He had apparently been punished, unkempt and bloodied. After Wei Jin spoke arrogantly, the two Wei soldiers pulled down the coarse cloth in Huan Chong's mouth, and then held a sharp arrow to his throat, forcing him to surrender. At first glance, Huan Chong coughed dryly, and he vomited a mouthful of blood before he looked up at Huan Song under the urging of Wei Bing.
Huan Chong looks very similar to his father Huan Song, and now his eyes are also red, his heavy eyes are full of sorrow, father and son look at each other, silent, but there seem to be a thousand words.
After a while, Huan Chong moved his chapped lips, and shouted hoarsely towards the city wall: "Father, the son is not filial and incapable of being captured, so that he meets like this." Saying that, in Wei Jin's arrogant sneer, he burst into tears, crying in grief: "Since ancient times, we have not killed prisoners in war, but Wei people are evil, and more than 200 people in my company have died, leaving only us in front of the battle." The son has survived so far, because the son remembers that my Huan's family is honored by Zhou En, so although he was poisoned, he did not say anything about it, and his life will return to Jiuquan, and he hopes that his father will cherish it. ”
Before Huan Chong finished speaking, Wei Jin had already changed color, how could he have thought that Huan Chong, who had cried and begged for mercy in front of him earlier, had changed his face before the battle, and he was so iron-clad that he actually reported the news on the spot! In this way, wouldn't it have boosted the morale of the Zhou army in vain? He was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to let go of Huan Chong, and kicked Huan Chong to the ground with one kick. On the side, a soldier even swung his long sword and cut off the head of the prisoner of Zhou, bright red blood splattered out, and the bloody head fell right in front of Huan Chong's eyes. Wei Jin stepped on Huan Chong's shoulder and back, regarded him like an ant, and scolded gloomily and coldly: "If you don't surrender again, this will be your fate!"
Wei Jin killed prisoners in front of the battle, up and down the city wall, the soldiers of the Zhou State were all indignant, Huan Song had tears in his eyes, he was angry, and he was even more stunned, he hated and scolded: "Wei thief Xiaoer, you and other unknown divisions have violated my borders, and now they are killing prisoners, barking wildly in front of our formation, and they are brazen!
"Zhou first renounced the contract and killed my prince! I was edicted to beg for thieves, what does it mean to be nameless?" As early as yesterday, the news that Prince Qing of Wei died inexplicably at the hands of the Zhou people spread all over the country, and the Wei army relied on its own division for a reason, and it would make the Zhou people pay for their blood debts and blood. In this way, the Zhou State was like a lit candle burning at both ends, the barbarian thieves were more powerful, and the Wei people became more and more arrogant. Wei Jin was even more proud, pulled Huan Chong up again, detained him to the ground, and once again threatened and scolded him: "Dog thief, quickly persuade him to surrender, if you talk nonsense again, you will take your dog's life." ”
Huan Song's father and son have governed Pengcheng for many years, are easy-going, forgiving and treating people, judging cases fairly, never abusing punishment, and never bending the law. In the past, if you were harassed by barbarian thieves, because Huan Song was old, most of them were Huan Chong's pioneers and invincible. So the two have always won the hearts of the people, from the army to the people, and there is no one who does not love and respect. Now seeing Huan Chong suffering, the soldiers have red eyes, Huan Song's feet trembled slightly, the back of the hand holding the sword burst out, staring at Huan Chong, blood and tears had already flowed in his heart, but his face was cold, he stiffened his back, and shouted in pain: "Chong'er, do you remember the ancestral training of my Huan family!"
Hearing what Huan Song said, Huan Chong Huo Ran raised his eyes, his face was blurred with flesh and blood, but his eyes were terrifyingly black and bright, and he was even more resolute in the firelight. Because Wei Jin stepped on his numb tendons, his body was like a sifting bean, shaking non-stop, and he tried his best to support half of his body, and shouted to the city wall in a dumb voice: "Even if I use my flesh and blood as a wall, I will not let thieves get close to my surroundings!" This voice was hoarse, like a swan song. Sure enough, he suddenly used his fierce force, shook off Wei Jin in embarrassment, and rushed to the Wei soldiers holding his sword on the side without hesitation.
In the flash of light, Huan Chong fell in a pool of blood. Wei Jin was caught off guard, and only then rushed forward to probe Huan Chong's breath in a hurry. Seeing Huan Chong move, the rest of the Zhou prisoners were not greedy for life and afraid of death, they were full of grief, and they all shouted with Huan Chong: "Even if I use my flesh and blood as a wall, I will not let the thieves get close to my circumference!" They have been breathing for so far, just to take another look at the city wall of the Zhou Kingdom, and now that they have their remaining wishes, they can't give the Wei thieves a chance.
"Young master!" "Brother!" "Uncle!" Countless cries came from the soldiers, these ten people were all people they knew well, at that time, Zhou Wei was married, Zhou Tu will be able to live and healthy for a long time, all of them are happy to welcome the Wei army, who knows, ushered in a bad wolf!
Among the soldiers, I don't know who shouted first: "Kill the Wei thief! Protect my mountains and rivers!" Immediately after, the surging sound rose one after another, and even the most timid and fearful soldiers on weekdays also had red eyes and shouted angrily: "Wei thieves kill prisoners! Heaven does not tolerate it! Kill Wei thieves! Protect my mountains and rivers!"
Seeing Huan Chong's heroic self-determination, Huan Song was grief-stricken, his wrinkled face was covered with desolation in an instant, his straight back was a lot stiffer, he took a breath, gritted his teeth and said: "The Wei thief is shameless, disturbing my border for no reason and kidnapping my envoys." You can kill prisoners today, and you can slaughter the city tomorrow! Kill the Wei thief! Protect my mountains and rivers!"
As soon as he said a word, more than 10,000 troops shouted in unison. It stands to reason that at this time, Huan Song will be as usual, personally holding the pole and beating the drum to correct morale. Ran Huan Chong's corpse was right in front of him, in other words, it was he who made Huan Chong kill himself. He is old and old, his only son died early, he is strong on the outside, and he can't bear it in his heart. With a slight movement, he unloaded his strength under his legs and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a scribe beside him, and it was with the strength of his men that he secretly supported him.
At this moment, Zhou Rushui stood up from behind, and with Wang Yuxi's acquiescence, she stepped forward and took the mallet sent by the soldier first. The long black eyelashes flickered, the eyes were very astringent, but they were calm, and the beautiful face was full of frost and snow, obviously full of the immaturity of a girl, but said solemnly: "From the palace." With that, he undoubtedly turned and climbed the drums of war on the high platform.
At that time, not only the soldiers of the Zhou State, but also the people in the city also rushed to the front of the city. Now that he heard that the Wei army was so deceitful, he really had the heart to break the net, and they took out gongs and drums to gather the soldiers and civilians in the city, and swore to fight the Wei thieves with the Zhou army.
All of a sudden, the streets and alleys were full of old men and strong men who volunteered to defend the city, and they carried huge rocks and trees with the soldiers under the command of the soldiers. There was also a sound of fighting under the city wall, the copper crossbow machine had already been erected on the city wall, and more than a dozen soldiers pushed the winch to shoot long arrows, and the long arrows exploded, piercing through three or four Wei soldiers in an instant. Seeing this scene, Wei Jin's pupils contracted suddenly, and the Wei army's battle flag waved, and the formation was changed in an instant, leaving the strongest iron cavalry last.
The night was hazy, Zhou Rushui stepped forward quickly, her robe was hunting in the wind, she stood in front of the drum, with wide sleeves and a thin waist, and no armor. Looking at the iron cavalry of the Wei army that had retreated to the back of the formation, looking at Wei Jin who was shrinking behind the formation, and looking at the corpse of the Zhou prisoner who was hung in front of the formation as a shield, her eyes were extremely cold and impliedly sharp. The battle flag of Zhou Guo was hunting and hunting beside her, she hated it in her heart, raised her hammer, and said hatefully: "Wei people are cunning, and the poison in Prince Wei is incomprehensible, but Wei Jun takes it as his son, showing the marriage of Zhou and Wei, and condemns Wei Qing for attacking Zhou, and the wolf is ambitious!"
The bright moon hangs high, the bones are all over the ground, the sound of fighting under the city is higher than a sound, the air is suffocated, she is standing in front of the war drums, dressed in plain clothes, the waist is straight, the firelight is picturesque on her delicate face, she holds the drum and beats the drums, there is a sound of staggered, the war drums swing out, and her voice is full of firmness and strength. She continued in a firm voice: "Soldiers, since the beginning of the Zhou Kingdom, Pengcheng has never been lost. Thirteen years ago, the three major tribes of barbarians attacked the city, and it was my eldest brother who led an army of 30,000 to resist to the death, so that the barbarians were defeated and the peace of Pengcheng was kept. Now on the wine river, the blood and sweat of the soldiers and heroes are still there, it is for the blood and tears of the ancestors, for the people behind the city, and they can not let the iron cavalry of the Wei people approach Wupeng City for half a step! My Zhou Tianjiao hereby swears that no matter whether there is a sea of fire or an abyss in front of me, I will be with all the soldiers and soldiers, and I will move forward without hesitation, even if I use my flesh and blood as a wall, and I will not let the thieves get close to my Zhou land!"
As she spoke, she held up the Qinglong Talisman and said to the left and right: "The Left Guard Army listens to the order, the big waves sweep the sand, and there is no room for slackness, now, it is time for you to make great contributions to my Zhou! Kill the Wei thief! Swear to live and die with Pengcheng!"
Her every word is sonorous and powerful, with a tragic feeling of never regretting death. The night breeze blew her skirt, she was really like a fairy, like the moon, and beautiful like a god. The soldiers were shocked at first, and then they came back to their senses and were very excited, they spent many days fighting, they were sincerely afraid, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived, how did they know that Princess Tianjiao and the left guard generals under the command of the first prince had arrived in Pengcheng. Who doesn't know the Zhou people, the generals of the Left Guard, all of them have superb martial arts, and they can block a hundred with one person, and they are all famous and eloquent. Princess Youtianjiao is deeply favored and is the only daughter of King Zhou. Now, their lady herself beats the drums and vows to live and die with them. What could be more exhilarating?
Zhou Rushui threw a word to the ground, and the left guards bowed to her in unison, shaking the sky, and shouting in unison: "The life and death of the ministers are up to you!" All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill the Wei thief!" "Swear to live and die with Pengcheng!" "Kill the Wei thief!"
In a moment, the angry shouts of the soldiers of the Zhou State rushed into the sky, and on the city wall, the wooden stakes poured with sesame oil were lit and rolled down one by one, steadily hitting the Wei soldiers who tried to climb the city. There are even more Zhou soldiers who climbed down the rope without fear of death, and pointed angrily at the horizontal knife, killing all the Wei soldiers who tried to climb the city wall. The soldiers and civilians of Pengcheng were like roaring thunder, united like never before, eager to tear the flesh and blood of the Wei people.
Seeing that the first ** offensive was resisted by the Zhou people, and the battle situation became more and more difficult to control, Wei Jin's face was extremely ugly, he raised his head and stared at Zhou Tianjiao, who was beating drums on the city wall, and in a fit of anger, he ordered the chariot to move forward, drew arrows, and the arrows pointed directly at her.
He wants to shoot the neck of the female monarch of the Zhou Kingdom who is like a white jade! Shoot the determination of the Zhou people to rise and protect the city! Take Pengcheng and take the granary of the Zhou Kingdom!
