Chapter 83: Death in Return (part 3 of 3)
On the head of the city,
The one-sided slaughter directly made Uncle Zhang stunned.
Not afraid of life and death, move forward bravely.
This kind of fierce and fearless atmosphere is probably only available to Wei Wushu at the beginning, or the three thousand Jiangdong children who followed Xiang Yu, right?
Break the cauldron and fight against the water!
Anyone who commands this kind of soldier is a famous general through the ages!
His voice trembled, and he asked, "Where do such warriors come from?" ”
Suddenly, Bai Mingzhe's voice came from the mouth of the stone ladder not far away, "Zhang Gong, they are the forty-four death row prisoners who are not good at riding horses and have not yet left the city." ”
Listening to the familiar voice, Uncle Zhang turned his head, followed the direction from which the voice came, looked at the dim stone staircase, and asked tentatively, "Bai Gong?" ”
"Don't dare to call the public! Mingzhe is also coming! ”
Under the protection of Ye Chuping, Bai Mingzhe passed through the bloody road of death row prisoners and safely climbed to the head of Gaomi South City.
Walking around the battlefield, his clothes were also stained red with blood, and with every step he took, a bloody footprint appeared on the ground.
Uncle Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Has Bai Gong ever been injured?"
"No!" Bai Mingzhe shook his head, "The rebels in the city have been suppressed, what is the situation outside the city?" ”
Zhang Bo inserted the sword back into his left waist, held a shield in his left hand, and dragged Bai Mingzhe to the city wall with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "The situation outside is very bad, Ma Ning has organized a manpower attack again." With the help of the clay pot sent by Jun during the day, I repelled a wave of attacks, but looking at the posture below, the second wave of attacks is coming soon. ”
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Kill! Kill!!! ”
Bai Mingzhe listened to the roar outside the city wall and the footsteps of the soldiers charging frantically, and the happy smile that had killed Song Xiangjun instantly froze, and his brows furrowed, "How many people are participating in the defense of the city now?" ”
"Excluding the dead and wounded, there are less than five hundred strong defenders of the city!"
Bai Mingzhe was silent for a while, and asked a heavy question, "Less than five hundred...... Can we hold it? ”
Zhang Bo pointed to the slow-moving behemoth, "If you don't have those wells, you should be able to hold on to it!" The archers at the top of the well overpowered the crossbowmen at the head of the city, and our soldiers could not concentrate on shooting the besieging army. ”
"Is it a well?" Bai Mingzhe stared intently, "How many clay pots are there above the city?" If you throw them all out, you should be able to destroy the well, right? ”
"Bai Gong forgives the sin, in order to destroy the battering ram, the clay pots have all been used up."
"The clay pot is gone?" Bai Mingzhe's face became more and more ugly, "The sulfur in the city's medicine shops has been requisitioned, and without sulfur, it is impossible to configure thunder." ”
As a liberal arts student, he couldn't think of a substitute for sulfur for a while.
The county garrison outside the city wouldn't give him a chance to think at all.
The sound of siege cries sounded again:
"Rush! Attack Gaomi County! ”
"Rush!!"
"Kill!!"
"The second wave of the offensive has begun." Uncle Zhang's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly drew his sword, "Drumming!" ”
"Everyone cheer up and prepare to defend the city!"
"Someone, tell Zhu Shi, let him focus on defense, don't take the initiative! Song Xiang's 800 people have all taken up arms, once they fight, even if the warriors of the Liang Kingdom are brave and good at fighting, they will not be able to defeat eight with one! ”
"Knock ......"
After a series of drums, Liang stood up again.
"Bai Gong, it's dangerous here, you should retreat."
Bai Mingzhe's face was resolute and resolutely refused, "I have heard, I am not in his position, I am not in his politics!" Now that the soldiers are fighting to the death, how can I be afraid? Needless to say! ”
"Bai Gong Gao Yi!" Uncle Zhang took a deep breath, "The well is difficult, and between the subordinates, we must send a brave soldier out of the city from the west gate, carry torches, and burn the well to the ground!" ”
"Zhang Gong should not forget that the four city gates of Gaomi County have been sealed with soil. There is no other way than to hang a man from the city. ”
Uncle Zhang was forced to be irritable by Ma Ning, "Alas! In that case, there is only a fight to the death! ”
He stared at the steady stream of county defenders with hatred, and shouted angrily, "Kill! Take a fire from the brazier and set the ladder on fire! ”
"The shieldmen are five paces apart, protect the crossbowmen! Don't let the thieves on the well find a chance to shoot the crossbowmen! ”
Bai Mingzhe also drew his sword, and imitated the people around him, poking the rebel soldiers who were climbing on the ladder with his sword.
Because after he poked, the attacker fell down, and he couldn't see death at all, so he didn't have too strong a feeling of nausea and nausea, but his nerves were tight, and his body trembled a lot.
Ye Chuping shouted while slashing and killing the county defenders who had ascended the city, "Bai Gong, school captain, look at the southwest, there is a fire there!" ”
"Huh?" Bai Mingzhe and Zhang Bo raised their heads in unison and looked to the southwest.
As Ye Chuping said, although there are only a few points, it is indeed a fire!
The little starlight was moving at a rapid pace, and their direction seemed to be that of a slowly moving well.
Bai Mingzhe groaned, "This is ......"
Zhang Bo lost his voice and said: "It's really that group of people, they really didn't run away without permission?"
After quickly counting the number of firelights, Bai Mingzhe nodded, "It should be!" ”
Although some of the fires were suddenly extinguished, on the whole, they remained in a state of thirty or forty.
Of the thirty or forty reinforcements, they had only one, and that was the forty-three men who had gone out of the city before.
……
Outside the city
Ma Ning and Guangfang rode horses and stood on a flat plateau, surrounded by more than 100 guards.
Ma Ning looked into the distance, frowned, and stroked his beard with his right hand, "Where did these guys with torches come from?" Why haven't I received any messages? ”
Guangfang bared his teeth and grinned, "The county guard forgives the sin, I know the origin of this team a little bit." I received a report from the scouts yesterday that after a cavalry of more than 40 people went out from the west gate of Gaomi City, it seems that they should be them. ”
"Hmph, more than forty people dare to attack my army of nearly 10,000 people?" Ma Ning glanced at the fires with contempt, "Pass my order, leave them all behind!" ”
"No!" After giving it away, he gave the guards a gesture and signaled that he would immediately arrange a "package" to keep people.
……
On the main battlefield of the siege, Niu lowered his body under high pressure and charged frantically on his horse, "Brothers, work hard, there is still less than a thousand steps away from the well!" Once the well is destroyed, the pressure on Bai Gong and them will be greatly reduced, and our task will be completed! ”
The cavalry restrained the infantry!
He wielded his lance and slashed one rebel soldier after another around him, "Kill! ”
The torches tied to the horse's buttocks are burned "whirring", and together they are engaged in a carnival of killing.
"Kill !!"
"Gada! Gada! ”
"Gada! Gada! Gada! Gada! ”
The sound of horses' hooves is getting faster and faster, and the enemies in front of them are getting more and more numerous.
"Fight with them! Come on! ”
The soldiers on the well may have sensed their intentions, and a large number of arrows flew out of it, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”
"Poof!"
"Poof! Burst! Burst! Burst! ”
The sound of arrows sinking into the body sounded one after another.
"Ahh Die! ”
Like the trapping camp in the city, after this group of people were hit by the arrow, except for the person who was directly killed, the others did not blink, and directly accelerated their riding speed and came to the flank to fight, in order to save the physical strength of Niu Gao and those who were less injured.
"Don't fight! Our goal is the well! ”
"Fight!"
Niu Gao took the lead, his arm slammed into force, and he used his long lance to pick up the two soldiers who were blocking in front of him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The death row prisoners in the rear attacked the enemies on both sides with their long lances, and after the weapons collided, the tiger's mouth was numb, "Bang! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang! ”
Although the county defenders had never experienced a battle, their combat effectiveness in an urgent situation was no worse than that of death row prisoners.
The two rebels glanced at each other, and at the same time stabbed the lance in their hands at the horse under the crotch of the death row prisoner, "Die!" ”
"Shhhhh
"Hiss!"
A horse fell to the ground with a wail, and the death row prisoner on the horse fell to the ground, being stabbed to death by the rebels.
"Everyone attack the horses, don't blame the people above!"
"Kill! Fight with them! Ahh ”
"Rush!!"
The rebel soldiers found a way to attack the death row prisoners, and a second wave of arrows descended at the same time.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”
The arrows were inserted into the bodies of the condemned prisoners, into the horses and into the rebels themselves.
The man who was closely following Niu Gao lowered his head, looked at the arrows on his body, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He smiled bitterly and said weakly: "Brother Niu, I can't hold on, you must complete the task given by Taiyuan Jun!" You must sword Song Xiang and avenge me! ”
Niu Gao turned his head, his eyes widened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in a lost voice: "Brother Liu Xian, don't!" Hold on a little longer! We're going to make it! ”
"Brother Niu, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely have a good time with you!"
"Hahahahaha...... Rebels, let's all die, hahahahaha......"
The man's mouth was full of blood and his smile was hideous.
After releasing the reins, he pulled out one or two arrows from his body, and then rode one man and one horse, rushing in the direction where the rebels had gathered.
"Kill, !!!"
"Death to me!"
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”
After the lance took away several of the rebels, a third round of crossbow bolts followed.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
One of them shot through his throat.
"Whoa......," he uttered one last sound, leaned sideways and collapsed into the crowd.
Niu Gao's tears rolled in his eyes, and he screamed, "Brother Liu Xian!! ”
In his eyes, anger burned, "Ahhhhhh Die! ”
The lance swung harder, and more and more soldiers died in his hands!
"Ahhhh Die! ”
"Kill! Kill!! ”
Two minutes later,
Forty-three people, and after losing thirty-six, they managed to reach the bottom of the well.
In the presence of the rebel soldiers, seven torches lit four wells!
The wooden well was lit at a point, and the flames flew high in the autumn wind.
"Huhu!"
Billowing black smoke billowed out, and the originally dim sky became even darker!
Ignoring the rest, Niu Gao roared angrily, "Brothers, go out with me!" ”
"Rush!!"
"Kill !!!"
Seven men, seven horses, seven lances, pointing to the east!
The killing continues......
