Chapter 606, Tears of Heroes 10
However, at this time, Sun Kewang received even more unfavorable news, he was blocked under the city of Nanzheng, and there was no progress, on the contrary, the Qin army, under the leadership of Bai Qi, won one victory after another, and at this time had conquered Mianzhu.
Sun Kewang knew very well that once the bamboo broke, Chengdu would no longer have a barrier to rely on, and he would be able to attack the city of Chengdu in a few days. Whether Chengdu can hold on to it is related to the fate of the Great Western Kingdom.
All of a sudden, his people turned out to be insignificant.
Because Bai Qi did not act according to Zhang Xianzhong's plan, he did not return to the army to rescue Hanzhong, and he did not even send a single soldier back, he simply abandoned Hanzhong and attacked Chengdu wholeheartedly.
Sun Kewang was a little at a loss, he didn't know if he still wanted to storm Nanzheng, even if he occupied Nanzheng and captured Hanzhong, he couldn't save Chengdu. And if he returns to the army and goes to save Chengdu, and there is no Zhang Xianzhong's will, he will do this to resist the will, and more importantly, once Chengdu can be defended, he will capture Hanzhong again, and he can immediately give Bai a fatal blow.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he did not retreat, but ordered to collect the men and horses and storm Nanzheng City again.
This time Sun Kewang was really desperate, he gave a rare death order, and the next day he would not collect troops if he did not conquer the city.
In the turn of the day, the Great Western Army rushed up like crazy and stormed the city. Li Yan stood at the head of the city and keenly felt that Sun Kewang was going to take his last breath today. Therefore he inspired the whole army not to take a step back, but to die at the head of the city.
Arrows rained down in the sky, the two sides fought fiercely on the head of the city, the Great Western Army fell off the city, countless casualties were killed, and the corpses were piled up more than a zhang high, and the Qin army at the head of the city also suffered heavy casualties, and some of the injured people no longer went down to the city, but gritted their teeth and fought to the death.
In the end, both sides had fallen into a state of madness, Sun Kewang had two generals under him, seeing that he couldn't attack, he retreated a few steps, Sun Kewang immediately waved his knife with his own hands and immediately beheaded the two.
Such a vicious commander made everyone creepy, and it really boosted the morale of the Great Western Army, and these soldiers once again shouted wildly and stormed the city.
And Li Yan also knew that as long as he couldn't withstand it at this time, Nanzheng would inevitably fall, at this time more than half of the Qin soldiers under his command had been injured, and the people were also killed and wounded.
So he drew his sword, pushed away the personal guards around him, and came to the battlement at the head of the city, and fought with the Great Western Army that climbed up.
In this way, everyone in the Qin army saw Li Yan's figure, and when they saw his thin figure, they were not afraid of the enemy soldiers, and the soldiers of the Qin army all looked up to the sky and shouted, and their morale was high.
After all, Li Yan's martial arts were much worse, and after only a few hits, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a soldier of the Great Western Army, and he was bleeding all over his body. Li Yan was robbed back by his own soldiers, and these people wanted to carry him down the city, Li Yan shouted: "Whoever dares to carry me down, immediately engage in military law." ”
He knew that this was already a matter of life and death, as long as he retreated, the army's morale would immediately be weakened, and he would no longer be able to stop Sun Kewang's onslaught at that time, and at this time both sides were exhausted, whoever could hold on again would be the final winner.
Li Yan instructed the healer to bandage his wound immediately, and after the bleeding stopped, Li Yan stood up again, this time he could not fight with the enemy, so he ordered someone to set up a drum on the head of the city, and he personally beat the drum to help the battle.
The drums sounded, and the soldiers of the Qin army saw that Li Yan was covered in blood, but his body was still in shape, and he was still cheering for himself, and they once again aroused their blood and fighting spirit.
The Qin army let out a sky-shattering shout, and once again overwhelmed the sound of the Great Western Army under the city, these people were like crazy tigers, wildly waving the weapons in their hands, and some people were red-eyed, and directly rushed down the city, knocking down the soldiers of the Great Western Army on the ladder together, and fell to death under the city.
This kind of battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Great Western Army was finally unable to fight, ignoring Sun Kewang's murderous military order, and the tide generally withdrew.
Sun Kewang wanted to kill a few more generals to boost morale, but when he looked around, his soldiers were all staring at each other, as if their souls had soared away and detached from their bodies.
For this state, Sun Kewang knew very well that his soldiers had begun to become numb, and no matter how many people they killed at this time, it would be impossible for them to regain their original murderous spirit.
The soldiers were exhausted because of exhaustion, and because there were so many dead that they no longer cared about their lives.
There is no doubt that in this siege battle, he was the defeated side, and at this moment, Sun Kewang was no longer able to attack the city. So he had no choice but to give the order and retreat to the camp.
Li Yan watched the Great Western Army withdraw and go back, and he collapsed at the head of the city, he lost a lot of blood, his strength was completely exhausted, and it was impossible to even sit, so he went directly on the stretcher.
In any case, this battle can be regarded as a victory, although it is a tragic victory, but Li Yan can be sure that Sun Kewang will not come to attack the city in the next few days.
Sure enough, as Li Yan expected, Sun Kewang collected his troops and returned to the camp, ordered to rest, and let his soldiers recuperate, the wounded need to be cared for, the dead need to be buried, and those who are alive also need time to recover. Therefore, in the next two days, Sun Kewang did not give the order to attack the city.
On the third day, he received the worst news, which was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Sun Kewang almost fainted.
Chengdu was lost, and Zhang Xianzhong was killed.
Looking at the report, Sun Kewang almost couldn't believe what he said, and sat for a long time before asking a second time. After getting the same answer as last time, Sun Kewang understood that this news was true and would never be false.
Chengdu fell after less than a day, and Zhang Xianzhong failed to escape.
Sun Kewang was almost stupid.
For many years, Zhang Xianzhong has been his commander, his backbone, the master he is loyal to, and his father-in-law, but today, everything has disappeared, and his own team has become an authentic lone army.
No leader, no territory, no fighting spirit, no backup, nothing.
Sun Kewang had never felt so frightened, he listened to the words of the detective, and then he began to tremble, trembling incessantly.
I don't know if it's fear, it's helplessness, it's sadness, it's despair.
Sun Kewang's soul had almost left his body and flew away.
Fortunately, the generals around him pulled his soul back, and they knelt in front of Sun Kewang together, shouting to him: "General, general...... What are we going to do? ”
