345 Civil unrest 12
Luo Rou saw that I was settled, and immediately guarded beside me vigilantly, and after a while, she found that something was missing, walked to Hou Hu's corpse, pulled out her sword and returned to me, and turned a blind eye to Hou Hu, who had gritted her teeth and hated Hou Hu for nearly ten years.
I don't know how long it took, but I finished pranayama and stood up with my eyes open.
"Brother, are you okay?" Luo Rou saw that I could already stand up on my own, and exclaimed in surprise.
I stroked Luo Rou's pretty face, the late autumn night was already very cold, it was cold in my hand, and I said distressedly: "It's okay, I'm worried about you!" ”
Luo Rou smiled, tears of joy welled up from her eyes: "No, it's good that you're okay, it's great......"
I wiped away tears from Luo Rou as I looked around at the battle around me.
With Xue'er and Wei Dayong joining, Na Hai Mingkui has already turned into a cold corpse, and the unknown master who came with Hou Hu has also been divided.
At this time, Hou Zhizheng, Xue'er and others led two or three thousand soldiers and horses to guard under the city gate. Because of the urgency of the situation, after blocking the rebels back to the city gate, Wei Guo and his group of heroes on horseback abandoned their horses and defended the city gate with their infantry brothers. Some of the ownerless war horses are stomping leisurely, some are looking down and sniffing on the ground, maybe they are looking for their master to die, or maybe they are hungry, hoping that grass will grow on the ground for them to eat! They are all strictly trained war horses, although the owner is not there, they are not like wild horses, and they do not know where to go in the blink of an eye.
The rebels who were driven back to the door hole were unwilling to lose, and under the leadership of Liu Mingzheng, the commander of Tianjin, who received the rebels into the city, and two rebel generals, wave after wave of impact on Hou Zhi's defense line, the corpses of the soldiers on both sides of the ground had been piled up in a thick layer, and both sides were almost stepping on the corpses to fight.
On the city wall, with the addition of reinforcements led by Fang Shan, after stabilizing the position, the rebels who climbed the city wall have been cleaned up, and now Fang Shan is organizing soldiers to resist the rebels against the wall.
Looking at the battle situation above and below the city wall, I said to Luo Rou: "Xiaorou, you go and pass a few words to Fangshan." ”
"Okay, you say!"
“……”
Luo Rou looked at me strangely and said, "Do you really want to do this?" Wouldn't it be too cruel? ”
"At this time, you can't be kind to a woman, let Fang Shan do it!"
"Okay." My words, Luo Rou was still very obedient, and said: "Then you be careful, if you are injured, don't run around!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a child, I know how to take care of my body!"
Luo Rou didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the city wall.
Soon, Luo Rou found Fang Shan, who was scolding and directing the defenders to counterattack.
After listening to Luo Rou's words, Fang Shan slashed over a low-ranking rebel officer with a knife, and glanced at Luo Rou in some surprise, but he didn't doubt it, and he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately called a few guards and gave a few orders. This is the biggest difference between professional soldiers and ordinary people, they are used to seeing life and death, and they may even ignore their own lives, so how can they care about people? To fight a war is to kill and be killed, and as for how to kill, it doesn't matter to them, as long as they win. I vaguely saw that the soldiers were not the slightest surprised when they heard Fang Shan's words, but left a little eagerly to find the things they needed.
Maybe she didn't want to see what was about to happen, or maybe she was worried about me, Luo Rou passed the word to Fang Shan and returned to my side.
After a short time, several guards lifted several large wooden barrels from the arrow tower, and judging by their struggling appearance, there was no shortage of things in the barrels.
When these barrels were carried above the city gate, Fang Shan immediately commanded a small group of defenders to clean up the rebels above the gate. Immediately, several wooden barrels were all carried up by the soldiers on the edge of the wall, only to see Fang Shan wave decisively, the soldiers gently pushed, and several wooden barrels were immediately under the city wall.
Fang Shan took a torch from a soldier and threw it down indifferently......
......Like a volcanic eruption, the flames under the city gate suddenly burst into the sky, and along with the firelight appeared a fierce wail and the exclamation of the rebels......
The flames rushed straight into the sky, and the tall city wall was crossed in an instant, and Fang Shan and the others couldn't stand being roasted, and fled from the broken city wall one after another.
Although our army held the narrow city gate, making it impossible to give full play to the advantage of the rebels' strength, in the face of wave after wave of uninterrupted impact, no matter how strong our army is, there will be fatigue and casualties. If the rebels made up their minds to fill it with human lives, they would eventually break through Hou Zhi's defense. In order to prevent the rebels from investing in the follow-up forces, I had to order Fangshan to burn the enemy with fire oil.
Under the city walls, in the flames, countless rebels rolled, begging, not begging their comrades to save themselves, but begging others to give them an arrow to end their suffering......
I took Luo Rou's hand, shook it slightly, and didn't say anything. Luo Rou couldn't bear it in her heart, why should I pay for it, but what can I do? This is war!
In order to squeeze out the gloom in my heart, and also to prevent myself from focusing on the wailing in the flames, I had to think wildly, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi's countless soldiers and horses, and he lost his yang life because of this, and the scale of my fire is so small, it will not lose his life......
The flames isolated the rebels' follow-up forces from the rebels in the city gate cave, the rebels in the city gate cave could not get the support of reinforcements, and behind them was an impassable ravine formed by the rolling flames, and the rebels in the city gate cave had no way to retreat, so they had to rush forward desperately (the rebels were not all fearful men, but the flames were burning at their feet, and they had to rush forward due to the high temperature and thick smoke, they didn't want to become a famous dish in the capital - roast duck!). Anyway, rushing forward, it is nothing more than a death, a happy death, listening to the screams of the robe in the flames, they all shudder, they would rather go to hell than be like those robe brothers).
Under the city gate, there are many masters such as Hou Zhi and Xue'er; The rebel reinforcements could not break through the flame barrier, and the troops in the door were greatly disadvantaged, and the flames and smoke also made them panic and chaos. The combination of many factors made it impossible for them to win, and soon, hundreds of rebels in the city gate cave were cleared and replaced.
