Chapter 474: Menacing

A loud bang suddenly sounded in the sky, and a brilliant white line crossed the sky, reflecting on everyone's face. Gu Xing stood on his usual side, staring at his resolute side face, and when he looked around at the soldiers behind him, everyone's face was full of numbness, and he didn't seem so concerned about this siege that he was determined to win.

I don't know if it's Gu Xing's illusion, or if he usually acts too aggressively. The current situation is not as optimistic as he said, and the ambush soldiers hidden in the shadows are watching everything fiercely. The truth behind the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches has been shattered by the veteran Youzi's thoughts, but whenever a crisis arises, it will appear in the minds of every young soldier.

It's just that whether they can survive or not can only be left to fate......

Usually raise his hand and insert the flat pole deep into the soil under his feet, and the cold air overflowing in late autumn makes this group of soldiers who come from a long distance feel some empathy. They may be beginning to miss their hometown and the leisurely years they used to have in Longshou County. Perhaps they also wondered when this endless battle would end.

At least, not now......

I usually want to wait, and among the hundreds of people who are discharged, even if one of them returns. But the thunder roared in the sky, but he still couldn't wait for the return. Could it be that this time is really as Gu Xing feared, gone forever? Finally, I was still a little apprehensive, but it was impossible to take back what I had already said.

Gu Xing kept his eyes on that direction, looking forward to their return. Finally, in the sound of small footsteps, someone ran towards it. He didn't run fast, and he was a little vigilant, it seemed that he didn't flee, but he found out the news and came to report it.

Sure enough, the person who came was one of the pioneers sent just now, who usually turned sharply when he heard the sound, stepped forward a few steps to meet him, and asked in a deep voice: "How is it?" ”

The person who came stabilized his mind and replied eagerly: "Returning to the general, thirty miles northwest of the rear, there is a large army assembled. Just now it was just an advance test, and our side did not confront the enemy head-on, and we were waiting for the general's order. ”

Usually his heart was cold, and he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Nalan, how dare you bully me!" ”

Seeing this, Gu Xing hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle, don't be impulsive, Mingyuelou led the crowd to menacing, it seems that Heluo City has been taken, and at this time, Zezhou Mansion is hoping that we will collide with it, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman." The trap outside the city just now is a provocation, and at this time our side has not been exposed, so we might as well wait and see what happens. ”

Usually not a person who does not enter the oil and salt, but he is in a hurry to take the Zezhou Mansion, and he is a little unstable for a while, so he wants to cut the mess quickly. It's just that the more anxious I feel, the more I lose my sense of proportion.

Thunder exploded again in everyone's ears, dark clouds hissed across the sky, and the smell of blood-red fish permeated the dead and noisy ruins. Usually he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only follow Gu Xing's advice and began to wait patiently for everything that was about to happen.

Suddenly, a sky-high fire ignited behind him, and a shout came from the originally silent earth. The wails and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the wind again, and the accumulated remnants were hideous and terrifying, and the thick aura made people almost suffocate. There were shouts from the firelight, heading towards the direction of Zezhou Mansion, and there was no way forward.

The artemisia grass, which usually immediately concealed the soldiers' figures, danced with the gust of night wind, embraced all the soldiers who had not slept at night.

I don't know if it's as usual.,I want to take the Zezhou Mansion too much.。 Or they didn't want to confront it head-on from the beginning, these Luoyang garrisons who rushed from Heluo City were already in the city at this moment. The lantern at the head of the city of Zezhou was suddenly extinguished, and there was no light in front of him. The torches held up by the offenders were all extinguished at the same time.

At this time, anyone knows that a little light will reveal their position, which is tantamount to burying their lives in the hands of the enemy. But at this time, both sides understand that whoever makes the first move will pay a terrible price.

But the city was already in formation, and the leading crowd, about forty or fifty men, with their shields held high above their heads, moved forward quickly. And just a few feet behind them, there was a group of crossbowmen, waiting for the orders of the generals in the field.

The Great War is imminent!

With a hurried "break" word, the crossbowmen aimed at the city's head and shot the first round of arrows. The rain of arrows came in the roaring wind and rain at this time, but it had little effect. The precautions that had already been prepared above the city took this round of arrow rain without much effort.

But the generals under the city did not show any surprise, and the advance soldiers were now close to the city wall, and began to abandon their shields and nails, and climb up.

There was no slackness on the city wall, and a smell of tar spread, and he rubbed his nose with disdain, "It seems that this Zezhou Mansion has a lot of tricks." ”

Gu Xing was about to speak, only to see a sea of fire suddenly burning on the city wall, and the sound of wailing and falling to the ground came one after another. But the pioneers did not back down, but chose to go forward in a desperate way. They may know that the result that awaits them is the same, rather than being killed by the robe, it is better to earn more money for the family and come better.

Who wants to die so simply? But war is like this, there are always people who sacrifice in exchange for victory after victory. The firelight on the city wall was still there, reflecting the angry faces under the city. The fate that awaits them, but it is also a generous death again and again, this group of dead soldiers has fulfilled their fate, and they will also fight desperately to win this victory.

Finally, when the soldiers wrapped in fire-resistant iron armor climbed up to the top of the city and crashed into the siege that had been waiting for them, the siege battle really began.

However, after half a burnt incense, the remaining soldiers on both sides have fallen half, and the leaders facing each other in front of the two sides are tired and resolute, and the first confrontation between the Luoyang garrison and the Zezhou Mansion has been reduced to the tragedy and catastrophe of these numb soldiers.

The lord of Zezhou Mansion tore off the wine jug at his waist, raised his head and poured it down, swallowed the turbid liquor into his throat, and then threw it away, drinking this pot of strong liquor, he was already faintly drunk. The generals at the head of the city looked up to the sky and laughed and waved their sleeves, countless figures of soldiers surrounded his silhouette. Soon, the enemy army under the city was already accumulating at the head of the city.

One soldier after another fell from the city, but no one cared which side they belonged to, whether they had brothers and sisters, whether they were married, and how many members of the family were. They are now nothing more than the most humble victims of this terrible battle.

The originally dead city was turned into a ruin in a blink of an eye, and the broken eaves were like broken walls. The fallen man, with his wife and children smiling in his eyes, immediately turned into ashes. And the remnants of the soldiers who were still brandishing their weapons and slashing were only desperate cries and disillusionment. Under the city wall, the generals of the Luoyang garrison still did not move, but just looked up at the battle in the dazzling firelight.

The soldiers in the reflection of the fire gradually became mad, and the rest of them had forgotten the attachment of life, the infant child waiting to be fed, the wife who worked diligently in the fields, and the old mother who was gradually withering her years. There was nothing left in their eyes, and they were already roaring like beasts, to die with the enemy. I don't know how long it took, but the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the remaining beacon fire was finally silently extinguished after the downpour.

Staying out of the ordinary, looking indifferently at everything in front of him. Gu Xing's body trembled, and he seemed to remember the battle of Luoyang. At this time, they were all waiting, waiting for that ray of light, if Chen Fusheng could lead his troops to arrive, he would accelerate this fierce battle towards the victory they expected.

usually still maintains enough calm, and is even glad that he did not rush forward without scruples like a reckless man. If they had insisted on going their own way at that time, they would be the ones who are in dire straits now.

Gu Xing finally saw some strange looks on the faces of these soldiers, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. Or maybe they know that they will face the same fate, a tragic fate that they cannot fight.

After waiting for a long time, there was only a howling cold wind in my ears, and the sparse raindrops began to fall quickly, hitting everyone's face, but no one wiped them off, allowing the rain to extinguish the hot body. The fire on the nearby city wall has been extinguished by the rain, and the smell of burning blood has been diluted, washing away the glory and sins of these people.

All these things that belonged to them outside of their bodies were also fleeting like rain at this time, and they could no longer hold them. The gates of Zezhou Mansion are still closed, there are many more traces of burning, most of the soldiers under the city have been killed and wounded, and there are few on the city walls, and both sides have been greatly injured.

At this moment, everyone's breathing became more and more rapid, but still no one spoke, as if they were waiting for the end of this baptism.

Gu Xing vaguely heard the sound of water splashing on the horse's hooves in the distance, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, so he turned his head and listened carefully. Usually at this time, he had already paid all his attention in the direction of Zezhou Mansion, holding the rough flat pole with his right hand, rubbing inch by inch, not realizing the sound coming from a distance.

There was finally no movement at the gate of Zezhou Mansion, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit truce, brewing for the next confrontation. But when Gu Xing was sure that someone was galloping over, he usually suddenly turned around and pulled out a feather arrow from the waist of the soldier beside him and threw it at the comer.

This blow was fast and ruthless, so that Gu Xing was unexpected. If the person who came was Chen Fusheng, wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable?

But the feather arrow disappeared into the darkness and there was no trace, and no one was hit by the sound of the arrow falling from the horse, just when the two were puzzled, a man and a horse suddenly appeared in front of the two, holding the feather arrow in his hand. The person who came was none other than Chen Fusheng, who was ordered to be in danger.

Chen Fusheng inserted the feather arrow in his hand back into the waist of the guard, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "It seems that I came just right, not too early or too late." Without further ado, let's go first! ”

Usually I didn't expect Chen Fusheng to be so decisive, he took out his flat shoulder and held it high above his head, "Sons, kill with me!" ”

At this time, the remnants of the city under the city of Zezhou were struck by lightning, and they didn't know that there was still a soldier hiding here, thinking that it was the other party's reinforcements. Zezhou Mansion was even more desperate, and began to rain arrows frantically under the city, leaving the Luoyang garrison, which was preparing to attack the city again, in prison......
