Chapter 203: A Critical Moment
The Western Regions army did not attack the city that night, and it was not until the early morning of the second day, after the soldiers of the Western Regions had eaten enough, that they attacked the south and east gates of Dunhuang again.
The drums are loud and exciting!
"Rush me! Who will climb to the top of the city first today to open the way for the army, and be crowned a general! ”
Xiao Tianyou rode on the sweaty and bloody horse, loudly inspiring the soldiers under his command.
"Kill~"
The sergeant was excited.
"Stop me! Reinforcements are almost arriving, and it will be the end of the bandits in the Western Regions! ”
Lin Song was able to rest less that night, and did not change the garrison, but chose to go into battle again.
It turned out that in Lin Song's heart, Xiao Tianyou was a reckless man with outstanding martial arts, and it was not until the contact in the past two days that Lin Song discovered that although Xiao Tianyou had a rough face, the timing of the attack was accurate and ruthless, which surprised Lin Song.
The Western Frontier Army defended desperately, while the Western Regions Coalition Army attacked desperately, and the losses on both sides were tens of thousands, which was extremely heavy.
Today is not more than yesterday, when it only attacked for more than two hours, but from early morning to dark, the soldiers and horses of the two sides took turns to fight, all fearless of life and death, and fought bloodily.
In the process of ascending the city, even if the soldiers of the Western Regions Alliance were stabbed by a spear and were about to be pushed down, they would go crazy and grab the spear and fall down, only to fight for a spear for Pao Zeduo, yes, it was an ordinary spear.
The soldiers of the Western Regions retreated, Lin Song only then held on to the city wall, his face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were squinting and panting slightly, his armor was red, and the sharp sword was also cut out of small gaps, and the people he killed in this day were simply more than the people he had killed in forty years.
"Lin Shuai, today our army has 5,000 dead, 1,000 lightly wounded, 1,000 seriously injured and unable to fight, and the enemy should have about 10,000 casualties." One joined the army and went to the city and reported to Lin Songyu.
Lin Song frowned slightly, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then propped himself up and went down to the city tower, and while entering the county guard's mansion to rest for a while, he secretly summoned Zhang Xiu.
Lin Song looked at Zhang Xiu, who had just withdrawn his armor and looked tired.
Lin Song patted him on the shoulder and said: "Weiyou, there is a crack in the city wall in the southeast corner of the south gate, and now it is too late to repair it, tomorrow the thieves in the Western Regions will inevitably attack in a big way and break through the wall.
You don't have to worry, Ma Shoucheng has sent a message, Ma Mengqi has already come to the aid with three thousand Xiliang Iron Horsemen, all the way to the rush, and it will arrive around tomorrow morning, and then with him to help you, it should not be a problem to hold a gap. ”
Zhang Xiu clenched his fists heavily, and said in a deep voice: "The last general is only a strong man, although he learned meager martial arts from a famous teacher when he was young, and now he is so trusted by Lin Shuai, the last general will repay him with death and live up to the name of the king of guns in Western Xinjiang." ”
In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions came overwhelmingly, and outside the two gates in the southeast and southeast, the mountains were full of military formations, and at a glance there were crowds of people, boundless.
Zhang Xiu was dressed in pure black armor, carrying a tiger's head chisel golden gun, looking solemnly at the dense enemy troops under the city, and the hand holding the tiger's head chisel golden gun clenched a little tighter.
Woo woo woo ~ A crisp horn sounded, and it was ready to charge.
Knock knock knock~
Heavy war drums rang out, and it was a charge.
Countless wells and railings advanced with the foot soldiers in rows, and one of them was two or three feet high, and the precision-made rushing cart rushed fiercely towards the cobweb-like crack in the southeast corner under the impetus of the hundred and ten Western Regions warriors.
Boom!
The casualties of the shieldmen and infantry did not affect the warriors who rushed to the chariot, their eyes were red, and they kept screaming rapidly, and they kept slamming the chariot into the wall where the cracks spread everywhere.
A loud bang resounded through the sky, and under a burst of smoke and dust, the section of the city wall in the southeast corner collapsed, and the space was not big, but it was enough for twenty or thirty people to advance together.
"Don't mess around! That place will be guarded in person, and you will guard the city for me, but don't let the thieves enter the city, and the lives of more than one million villagers in Xiliang will be in your hands!! ”
Zhang Xiu kept shouting, pulling the somewhat chaotic Western Xinjiang soldiers back on track, and took more than 100 elites down the city to block the gap.
Lin Song and Zhang Xiu knew that the people of the Western Regions would attack from here, so naturally they would not be without precautions, and behind the dense rejection of horses, thousands of people held special spears, one next to the other, and went forward one after another, except for death.
"Yan Kang, you command the soldiers to continue the attack, and Ben will personally help you break the city!"
He Yunlong handed over the Lingqi to the deputy general Yan Kang, brought more than 100 personal guards, and more than a dozen brave generals, patted the horses and danced the knife, dialed away the arrows, and went straight to the collapsed southeast city wall.
"Why are you still resisting!"
He Yunlong is brave and extraordinary, a rare fierce general in the Western Regions Alliance, dancing knives and horses, violent, such as galloping with thousands of troops and horses, a loud shout, such as thunder, arms up, the sword is cold, a knife will be cut off in front of the horse, sweat and blood BMW jumped up, rushed into the Western Xinjiang army formation, the long knife danced, a burst of bloody rain.
The soldiers behind him marched together, and they saw that they were about to enter the city.
At this time, Zhang Xiu finally arrived and shouted: "Don't panic, Zhang Weiyou is here!" ”
The two sharp arrows finally collided together, Zhang Xiu's tiger head chiseled the golden gun danced, the spear flower was ethereal, and from time to time there was a phoenix roar, which stabbed He Yunlong's hands in a hurry, He Yunlong was shocked, and hurriedly shook his spirit, the long knife fell, and Zhang Xiu fought together.
The generals of the left and right guards are also overflowing with sword light, the tip of the gun flashes cold, the horse steps on the dust, you come and go, each catches and kills, from time to time there is a scream, and from time to time there is a muffled snort.
"All the troops! Take the south gate for me and make the way for the army! ”
Yan Kang ordered the flag to dance, and tens of thousands of troops stepped out in unison, with a loud roar, which shook the earth, and then dispersed and launched a general attack towards the south city gate.
Zhang Xiu was entangled by He Yunlong and couldn't get out, and noticed that the soldiers in the city had begun to be forced to retreat under the female wall, and he was secretly anxious, but he was helpless.
"Kill!!"
The collapsed corner of the city wall is not wide, at the beginning of the Western Regions soldiers and horses have been difficult to rush in, there are several horse rejection fences inside, making it difficult for the soldiers of the Western Regions to move an inch, and there are many dead and wounded, and the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions rely on special spears, stabbing behind the horses, stabbing the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions screaming again and again, so uncomfortable.
But the good times didn't last long, after the destruction of those few horse rejection fences, the two armies finally began to enter a state of hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers of the Western Regions rushed to the Western Xinjiang soldiers and horses like crazy.
