Chapter 117: The Coming General
The torches at the head of the city have been extinguished, but that doesn't stop the fighting.
There were fierce battles everywhere under the misty blue light, the city walls were hung with long ladders, and the dense Xiliang soldiers were still climbing up, like an endless stream of ants, to cover the entire city.
A general, armed with a long knife in his hand, slashed at the enemies who poured up the walls.
With a bang, the Xiliang soldiers who jumped up slashed the long knife horizontally, and collided with the general's knife, this Xiliang soldier was strong and fierce, and the general couldn't help but take two steps back with a knife.
With a snort, a spear pierced the Xiliang soldier from behind, and he fell down with a scream, the long knife in his hand still chopping.
The general kicked his long knife away with a hateful kick, and looked at the soldiers who were surrounding him in front and behind.
"Leave me alone. "I won't live even if I'm dead." After that, he raised his sword and slashed again, and the soldiers followed, and the sound of fighting and screaming filled the city.
This kind of fighting has been going on for a long time, and all the soldiers seem to be tireless, and the Xiliang people rushed to the city several times, but they were cut down.
But victory was out of reach..... To the point where this kind of generals and officers are fighting for their lives together, it is also the last line of defense that is about to collapse.
The horn of the Xiliang people's attack also continued, and in addition to the city walls, the city gates also began to be slammed with loud noises....
"Crossbowmen, shoot them. The general on the other side yelled.
The crossbowmen who fought fiercely at the head of the city had to run to the side of the city gate again.....
The sudden withdrawal of a position opened a gap in the city, and suddenly more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers turned up.....
The guards around him continued to decrease, and the general behind him was shaking, and the long knife in the officer's hand cut down a Xiliang soldier, but the long knife was not pulled out in time.... After all, his strength was not enough, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw two more Xiliang soldiers coming up, and raised the sickle in his hand with a cruel smile....
This time is coming to an end, and the general thinks in his heart what he should think, but his mind is blank, what to look back on, what to reluctantly pain and fear, all of them.
At this moment, the sound of the horn under the city suddenly changed, and the tone was elongated and urgent.... The Xiliang soldiers who had just turned over were stunned, and taking advantage of this stunned gap, the pro-soldiers who rushed over cut the two of them away, protecting the unarmed generals.
The general didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and his expression was a little surprised: "Retirement number?"
The Xiliang soldiers who climbed the wall were also stunned, looking at the regrouped Great Zhou soldiers, and finally turned down the city wall, it is not easy to go up the city wall, and it is not easy to go down the city wall, but there is still hope to survive if they retreat, and there is only a dead end if there are no reinforcements to stay here.
For a time, the city wall was densely packed with retreating Xiliang soldiers, accompanied by logs, stones, bows, and crossbows.
The general didn't bother to chase and kill these retreating Xiliang soldiers, but looked into the distance.
"Why did you retreat?" he said, seeing that the Xiliang soldiers and horses that had been gathering in the distance also receded like a tide, "Is it the reinforcements that are coming?
"Your Excellency, reinforcements are coming!" a pro-soldier shouted, pointing farther away.
The people on the city wall looked at it, and in the blue light, it was as if a knife fell from the sky and split, there were soldiers and horses galloping, there were sheng flags waving, dust and smoke were billowing, and the place where they passed was like a broken bamboo.
"It's the Suide Army. ”
"And the Jin Anjun. ”
There were already soldiers with excellent eyesight who saw the military flag clearly and shouted loudly.
It's reinforcements, however, it doesn't seem that there are many people, but it's already very powerful to make Xiliang retreat, and no matter in the future, at least for now, everyone has saved their lives and the city, and the city wall is cheering for the rest of their lives.
The general also breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he was slightly surprised: "However, that general flag..."
"Silverfish. A soldier said, "Is this the general in the two armies of Sui and Jin?"
Probably the position is not high, the famous generals and soldiers of the Great Zhou are all well known, but this surname has not been seen.
As soon as his words fell, a murmur came from behind him.
"Nope. ”
The soldier looked back and saw an older soldier, who was also looking ahead.
"That's the Five Worm Flag. He said, "It's the Five Worm Banner!"
As he said this, he burst into tears.
The veterans, who were covered in wounds and bloody battles without shedding any tears, squatted on the ground and covered their faces with their hands and cried like a child.
The people around were stunned.
"We are saved, we are at peace. ”
The soldier crouched on the ground and cried.
"Back then, we all knew that the Five Worm Flag Exhibition was a way to live. ”
......
......
"I haven't seen the flag. ”
An excited-looking general in the main camp tent of the Xiliang King Army shouted.
"For everyone who saw the flag died. ”
What, is it crazy?
"So, Lord Yeli, you were actually frightened by a flag and fled without a fight?" a general jumped up and shouted, "You are really a shame for us Xiliang people!"
"Your Highness, kill him in front of the battle!" another general shouted angrily.
"I didn't, I fought, they broke my back road, I found out that it was him, I retreated!" "Twenty years ago, as long as this flag appeared, our warriors had only one way to die. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Wild Profit!"
"I've never heard of it!"
"The only thing that can make our warriors die is Qin Tangong's handsome banner!"
"Lord Yeli, you are afraid that your soldiers will be killed and wounded too much, so you disobey the king's orders!"
The sound of argument sounded in the tent, and Suo Shengxuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Is there such a thing?" he said, curious, "how come I have never heard of it?"
Lord Yeli said: "Your Highness, twenty years ago, they were pioneers, and everywhere they passed died, after they broke off, the pursuers died, so not many people knew, because at that time, Qin Tan Gong was in the army, and everyone only thought that it was under the command of Qin Tan Gong." ”
"My grandfather was a pioneer at the time, and he fought against them, and he learned from the few survivors that this military horse seemed to obey Qin Tangong, but it never appeared head-on, so everyone didn't care. ”
At this point, the Lord of the Wild Rites knelt down again and bowed.
"Your Highness, my grandfather once tried to look for this army, but never found it, and told me that if I see it, I must be careful not to be careless. ”
"Your Highness, you can ask the King, he may know about this. ”
After listening to him, the general in the tent didn't feel anything at all, and his expression became even more annoyed.
"So, Lord Wild Profit, you were actually scared by your grandfather's story!"
"Lord Wild Profit, are you still a nursing doll?"
"Even a nursing doll is bolder than him. ”
The tent was arguing and arguing again, Suo Shengxuan stopped them and turned his head to look at Qin Mei.
"Qi Niang, do you know the commander of this beetle army?" he asked.
Qin Mei closed her eyes, and a street appeared in front of her, and the crowd of people fighting gradually gathered and then walked over with the villain, and finally the sight in her mind fell on a tall figure.
"I've met once. He said lightly, "It's not good, it's not worthy of fighting me." ”
Suo Shengxuan grinned and said, "There are a few in the world that can fight with Qi Niang." ”
Qin Mei opened her eyes and said, "No!"
Suo Shengxuan nodded hurriedly yes, then turned his head to look at the people in the tent, and said with bright eyes: "In addition to Qin Tangong, there are also powerful people." He stood up, "Then we're going to see it this time." ”
.....
.....
The cracked city gate opened, and a team of soldiers and horses galloped out of the city, chasing the retreating Xiliang soldiers and horses, and at the same time welcoming reinforcements.
In the front and rear pinch, Xiliang's soldiers and horses disappeared in front of the city gate, and the two armies finally faced each other.
Looking at the dense sheng flags, the generals of Pingyao City dismounted together.
"I dare to ask which adult came to help. They said, having said that, their eyes had fallen on the flag high in the army.
This time, the flag did not leave, and this time the soldiers and horses in front of them got out of the way, and one of them stepped forward slowly and stood in front of the officers and soldiers.
"I'm Du. ”
......
......
(Everyone gets what they deserve, that's the beauty of the story, we are born in reality and need some goodness.) See you tomorrow. )
