Chapter 493: The Trend of Erosion
At the head of Suzhou City, Xu Xuan leaned on the head of the city, and the long-term fight made him a little out of strength, so they saw clearly at the head of the city, and there seemed to be infighting within the signing army. The offensive of the signing army also slowly weakened, a large number of troops began to retreat, everyone thought that the other side might give up the attack because of the chaos, but the situation took a sharp turn, the other side of the army seemed to have quelled the rebellion, and then the signing army regrouped and began to attack the city of Suzhou.
The signatories didn't know where to drive hundreds of people, waving their hands at the city wall, and rushed helplessly towards the city wall. The soldiers on the city walls had become numb in the siege of the city for a few days, but they routinely shouted at the people to get out of the way, and then, under the command of the officer, the bows and arrows in their hands were shot at the people who were carrying the ladders.
Screams, groans, pleadings, and the muffled sound of arrows piercing through the human body were intertwined, and along with these sounds were the wounded who fell to the ground, and the blood that was constantly flowing slowly soaked the land. The siege of the city was only a short moment, and the city of Suzhou had already become a Shura hell.
Although Nancheng is still a place for the signing army to take care of, because of the civil strife and the strengthened city defense equipment in Nancheng, at this time, it is a good fight with the signatories who are besieging the city. Xu Xuan, as a military doctor with the army, naturally would not be as idle as Fang Cai, and began to be busy treating the wounded.
At this time, the attacking and defending sides, after putting their forces to a certain limit, began to fall into a strange balance. The signatories were incapable of storming the walls, and the defenders were incapable of driving them off the walls.
At this time, the battle situation has little to do with the weapon-auxiliary equipment, and more requires the will, tenacity, and ability of the commander to control the army on both sides.
Xu Xuan, who was treating the wounded by the city wall, naturally did not consider these problems that the commanders of both sides would consider, he had just finished stitching up the patient at hand, and exhaled, at this time, he suddenly heard a dull drum sound, he looked up in amazement, and saw that in the camp behind the signing army in the distance, a large number of Tartars began to come towards Suzhou City,
"Oops!" Seeing this situation, Xu Xuan's heart was cold, there were no reserves in Nancheng.
The sergeants at the back of the signing army are all veterans of old battles, and they have been wandering between life and death for many years, so they naturally know where to be safer. Even if you are obviously in front when you charge, at the end, you will often fall behind unknowingly at the end, and then survive in battle again and again.
Zhang Tangbian is a Kaifeng person, when he was young, he had good fists and feet, in the ruffian of Kaifeng City, he is also regarded as the No. 1 person, according to usual, he is so muddy, but until one day, the Jin people came, Kaifeng City was then broken, Zhang Tangbi, who boasted of his unparalleled fists and feet, just met with the Jin people, and was beaten and fled, in the chaos, his wife and daughter, but was taken away by the Jin people, and Zhang Tangbi, who lost his relatives, had no home, no thoughts, wandering all day long in this dilapidated Tokyo city, Until one day Zong Shuai began to recruit troops, for the sake of three meals a day, Zhang Tangbian joined the army in a daze, and began to think about the Northern Expedition, and then rescued his wife and daughter.
But as a result, within a few years, the Zong Shuai was gone, and the whole team began to disperse, some continued to resist the Jin, some occupied the mountain as the king, and some surrendered to the Jin, as the team began to wander, Zhang Tangbi's original arousal of a blood, slowly cooled, their army, first became the signing of the Jin Army, and later, he followed the boss to cast the Tartar inexplicably.
He has been in the army for many years, and he has long lost that blood, every time he rushes into battle, he always boils the blood of a few recruits, and then watches those young people shouting and rushing to the front of the team, and then being cut down by the other party's soldiers, he is quietly pretending to be dead, or mixed in the flow of people, slowly retreating to the back, and then after the signing army replenishes a group of newcomers, he himself is forcing them forward.
Today, he is the same as before, watching the newly recruited Song people in the army surrender, under his flickering, he rushed towards Suzhou City, he shouted, and then with a few veterans in the army, unconsciously slowly retreated to the back of the team, a few veterans looked at each other, and they all laughed tacitly.
At this moment, only to hear the dull sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhang Tangcake looked back in surprise, only to see the Tartar who had not fought for many days behind him, raising the scimitar in his hand, riding a horse towards them, Zhang Tangcake looked at the other party in shock, and before he could react, the long knife in the opponent's hand had already cut him to the ground, Zhang Tangcake looked at the fierce Tartar in shock, and viciously rushed into his own team, driving his comrades to charge forward, and those who fell behind were ruthlessly slashed by the other party, Screams rose suddenly.
"Aren't they with us?" Zhang Tangcake only had time to think of this, only to see the huge horse's hooves imprinted towards him......
With the addition of the Tartars, the offensive of the Han army suddenly became stronger, and the original crumbling defense of Suzhou City became more and more precarious. In particular, the southern city with low city walls was the key attack direction of the Tartars, and the defenders of Suzhou City finally relaxed, and at this time the battle line was tightened and the casualties became larger. But at this time, due to the tight war, the wounded soldiers could not be sent to Xu Xuan at all.
Xu Xuan stood on the city wall, looking at the countless soldiers under the city wall, dancing the weapons in his hands, and crawling towards the cloud ladder leaning on the city wall. And the defenders of Suzhou and the signing army that attacked the city wall fought together, and they had no energy to suppress the offensive under the city.
Looking at the increasingly chaotic situation, Xu Xuan's heart gradually sank, the soldiers on the city wall were divided by the Tartars for a while, most of them were fighting on their own, occasionally a few officers wanted to gather the soldiers, but just gathered a few people, they were brutally scattered by the other party, these signing troops used to be Song soldiers, on the Song army's ability to defend the city, that still they know?
At this time, several soldiers retreated to Xu Xuan's approach and shouted loudly, "Doctor Xu, no, you can go first, I'm afraid this city wall can't be defended!" ”
Xu Xuan was slightly stunned, he recognized the few people in front of him, but they were the people who followed him into Chengli at the beginning. He glanced back at Suzhou City, which was shrouded in the setting sun, he shook his head, wiped the blood on his hand, took the spear next to him in his hand, and looked at the wounded soldiers behind him, "Come and hold a few guns that are not afraid of death, follow me to drive these Tartars down!" ”
Seeing Xu Xuan like this, a few things that were not seriously injured helped each other to stand up, and said with a smile, "Doctor Xu, you are not afraid of death, what are we afraid of?" Brothers, let's follow Dr. Xu! ”
Xu Xuan's place in this corner is where ordinary materials are stored, and now the war is tight, and many materials have been taken, but there are still a few tattered shields left, when the first few people hold shields, and a few behind are holding spears, and follow Xu Xuan towards the crowd of people on the city wall!
