Volume 3 The Storm of the Two Capitals Chapter 75 The Prophecy of Heavenly Damnation
The rumbling sound of pushing resounded under the city, and seven strangely shaped four-wheeled carts rushed to the city in the lead.
The top of these carts was supported by wooden frames, and the whole body was covered with thick raw cowhide, and the Han army in the city rained arrows, but continued to advance without any impact. The most bizarre thing is that there are no soldiers behind these carts, as if they are walking on their own.
Nanying opened his mouth wide and said, "What the hell is this?" ”
"This is a fool!" I don't know when, Jia Xu appeared behind Nan Ying again, I don't know if the roaring noise covered up the sound of his feet, or the sound of the old boy's footsteps was even more inaudible, and Nan Ying's ears were not aware at all.
"Why are you up again?" Nan Ying frowned and said, "You are the one who died once!" God won't give you the same luck again, can't it go down? ”
"Seeing my brothers being carried down to the city one by one, I don't feel good!" Jia Xu said gloomily: "By the way, I'll tell you a bad news, the captain of the city gate, Wu Huan, died in battle!" ”
"Really?" Nan Ying's fist clenched suddenly, and then let go, and he said indifferently: "Good job!" Whether he is from the Sexagenary Branch or not, he is always a qualified general! If I die in battle, and I hope that there really is a hell of hell, then I can confess to him that I have doubted his apologies! ”
"By the way, you said that these big cars are called Yilun, what are they?" Nanying's mind returned to the approaching strange cars in front of him.
"This siege vehicle is hollow, and at least nearly a hundred soldiers can be hidden under it! They propel the cart forward, so it's hard to kill effectively before approaching the walls! Jia Xu sighed and said, "You have to be careful!" These soldiers are usually the sharpest soldiers who are the best at fighting, and they are the vanguard used to attack the fortifications. ”
"You all heard that!" Nan Ying's eyes flashed over the several generals in front of him: "One person is in charge of a rebellious, and they must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold in the city, go!" ”
"Choke" He held his knives in his hands, stared coldly at the oncoming one, and said in a deep voice: "This one, Ben will be in charge!" ”
"No!" Dian Wei, Li Jin, Gan Ning, Qiang Tong, Zhao Ming, and Xu Huang shouted at the same time and rushed out together.
A look of pain flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, let him be resourceful, in such a disparity in strength in the offensive and defensive battle, but he was powerless to return to the sky, and could only sit back and watch his lord and brothers fight bloodily. This is the greatest irony of a wise man!
He let out a soft sigh again, shuffling his feeble steps, and slowly descended the path of the city wall.
"Huh?" Nanying suddenly saw that there was still a general who had never left, but it was Zhang Jie. He waved his hand and said, "Go too, your subordinates are also waiting for you to command!" ”
"There's Sima Zhi and Zao Yi over there!" Zhang Jie grinned: "Now that the general has sent out all the fierce generals around him, it is finally the turn of an incompetent person like the last general to accompany him!" ”
"Fuck off!" Nanying glared at him fiercely, but an indescribable heat welled up in his heart. Zhang Jie has always wanted to repay his kindness in the past, but because he is a fierce general, he has no chance to emerge at all, and today he is "taking advantage of it"!
Sure enough, I saw Zhang Jie shrug his shoulders as if he hadn't heard it, and stood side by side with his spear, without the consciousness of "getting out" at all.
"Alright! Ben won't have time to protect you for a while! Nanying said helplessly: "Don't blame me if you die!" ”
"The general ...... today" Zhang Jie suddenly straightened his body and burst into laughter: "It's a lot of nonsense, since the first battle of Yiyang and the battle of Yingchuan, the last general finally waited for the opportunity to fight with the general, and he didn't want to get rid of the last general!" ”
"Boom"! The first slammed into the walls, and countless enemy troops surged out of it, climbing up the ladder that had been quickly erected.
"Good brother!" Nanying laughed, he slashed head-on, and the first enemy who came out from behind the battlements fell into the city, still having time to turn around and say: "I heard that these enemy troops are elite, dare to compete with the general!" Let's see who kills more? ”
"Poof" a spear stabbed out of the southern eagle's side with lightning and opened a large hole in the throat of another enemy, and immediately shrank back like a poisonous snake.
Zhang Jie Zhenmao laughed and said: "Then the general's first heroic name, maybe it will be folded in the hands of the last general today!" ”
Nan Ying only felt the blood boiling in his chest, a fighting spirit to fight side by side with his brothers in life and death spontaneously emerged, he shouted and jumped on the battlements, relying on the double protection of bulletproof vests and yak leather armor, the condescending double knives slashed out continuously, the knives were like thunder and lightning, and they were overwhelming, and all the seven or eight enemy soldiers who rushed up in one breath were chopped down the long ladder with blood splashes.
It wasn't until Zhang Jie and several guards pulled him back in horror that Nan Ying laughed wildly: "If you talk about killing, can you kid compare with Ben General?" Dream on! ”
Zhang Jie said with a bitter face: "Yes, yes!" The general is martial arts, and the last general will not dare to compare, so he will admit defeat! ”
The two suddenly laughed wildly together.
Although the enemy army under the city was frustrated, it was extremely brave and still attacked the city without fear of death.
These people are indeed the elite of the elite of the Xiliang army, as Jia Xu said, but Nanying and Zhang Jie have a little respite, and there are already six or seven people who have attacked the city and started a bloody hand-to-hand fight with the Han army.
Seeing that several of his subordinates had fallen to the ground in an instant, Nan Ying's eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted angrily and slashed at the nearest enemy.
The eagle knife drew a wonderful trajectory of nature, giving birth to an indomitable and tragic momentum, and slashed down at the head of the enemy.
Just when anyone thought that the enemy army was about to be spared by the eagle's sword, a sudden change occurred.
A grim smile suddenly flashed on the enemy's lips, and the shield in his left hand met the eagle knife without fear, but the knife in his right hand was like lightning, slashing straight at the chest of the southern eagle.
"When" Nanying slashed at the man's shield, but unexpectedly burst out with an amazing sound of metal impact, the black broken shield was actually an iron shield, which shocked Nanying by surprise, and the eagle knife almost flew out of his hand.
Nan Ying screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and was about to withdraw and fly back, but the man's knife had already slashed his chest, and the tough leather armor was cut in an instant, but it was a bulletproof vest that stopped inside.
Nanying shouted, and his twin swords danced into a cloud of light and shadow, connecting the dots under his feet, and finally successfully exited the man's attack range.
Zhang Jie was shocked, and was about to rush forward desperately, when suddenly a long knife stabbed into his lower abdomen. He grunted and fell to the ground.
"No!" Nanying was dumbfounded, but he was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the spare strength to go to the rescue again? He looked down at the leather armor, the sweat on his forehead couldn't help but trickle down, if it weren't for the bulletproof vest inside, he would have been disemboweled.
The enemy's sneak attack was fruitless, and he was also stunned, and when he saw that there was still armor protection in the cracks of Nanying's torn leather armor, he couldn't stop sneering.
"Whew!" Nanying let out a long breath, and pointed with a long knife: "You are not an ordinary sergeant, who are you?" ”
The enemy let out a low shout, and two more enemy soldiers immediately jumped out of the battle group at the head of the city, one of whom was the person who attacked Zhang Jie, and the three of them together pressed towards Nanying in a zigzag shape.
"I see!" Nan Ying suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing and saying, "It seems that this big banner erected on the head of the city brought you here, right?" ”
"Phew!" He spat on the ground fiercely, and said disdainfully: "Han Sui's stupidity saw that the siege of the city could not be stopped, and he dared to send someone to assassinate the chaotic army, what a fucking talent!" ”
"General, you're wrong!" The assassin who almost succeeded with a single sword smiled and said, "There is only life and death on the battlefield, only victory and defeat!" As for the rest, it doesn't matter! ”
"Want to kill the general?" Nan Ying blinked his eyes and said proudly: "There are many such people, but Ben Jiang is still alive and well to this day!" ”
"Although the general is strong in martial arts, he has a treasure armor to protect himself....... the man smiled smugly, and casually raised the long knife shining with a strange light in his hand: "This knife is highly poisonous, as long as it cuts through a trace of the general's flesh and blood, it is enough!" ”
"What's more!" He glanced at his companions on both sides and smiled, "There are three of us!" ”
"Turns out you're not an assassin!" Nan Ying suddenly laughed: "If you are a real assassin, you will never answer your opponent's questions, let alone leave the opponent a chance to turn defeat into victory!" ”
"What do you mean?" The three Assassins changed color slightly.
"That's what it means!" A faint voice suddenly sounded beneath their feet.
One of the Assassins suddenly bowed his body like a red-hot prawn, a spear slashing out diagonally from the bottom up, strung his entire body together.
Covered in blood, Zhang Jie sat up, pulled out the long knife stuck in his abdomen, and slashed at the right leg of the other assassin.
Before the assassin could scream and fall to the ground, a sword shot at him, from his forehead to the hilt, and the screams came to an abrupt end.
The body of the last assassin suddenly shuddered, and with a wild scream, he threw his long knife at the Southern Eagle, and immediately turned back and ran towards the edge of the city. Desperately injured or even broken a leg, as long as you can jump onto the side of the city wall, you can save your life.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated, because he could never be faster than one thing, and that was a bullet!
"Bang", the assassin's face was full of horror, and his body shook, and he fell heavily on the battlements.
"Zhang Jie!" Nanying picked up the dying Zhang Jie, if he hadn't tried his best to save him, he might have really capsized in the gutter.
Looking at his gradually dimming eyes, Nan Ying couldn't help but break his liver and intestines, and let out a cry of grief and indignation.
"General, General!" Zhang Jie let out a low call, and Nan Ying hurriedly put his ear to his mouth: "If you can die for the general, hurry!" It's a pity that you can only die once for the general, Yiyang... Yiyang's brothers are handed over to the general! ”
Feeling the majestic body in his arms sinking, Nan Ying's tears finally blurred his eyes, and he seemed to see the mighty officer who came to Yiyang City at the beginning of that day, and the figure who worked tirelessly to save the people.
"Ahh With a beastly roar, Nanying bounced to his feet, drew his sword from the Assassin's forehead, and charged towards the enemy forces who were still fighting the Han army. Now he only needs to kill to calm the raging anger in his chest and the unforgettable pain.
The enemy troops at the head of the city were finally wiped out, and the enemy troops under the city also hurriedly retreated again, only Nanying looked at the remains of Zhang Jie and many soldiers and was silent.
Suddenly, he saw the corpses of the three assassins at a glance, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Order!" In order to save their physical strength, they threw all the corpses of the enemy soldiers into the city, and the three men ......"
"Hang up!" He said lightly: "Show the public for three days!" ”
"General!" Someone whispered: "If the corpses of the enemy are piled up under the city for a long time, it will cause a plague!" ”
"Don't worry!" Nan Ying waved his hand and said: "After three days at most, the enemy army will retreat on its own, otherwise they will be surrounded by the divisions of the Qin Kings from all walks of life, and at that time, we can bury the corpses calmly!" ”
"I see!" The eyes of the Han army lit up, as long as they held on for three more days, could they win?
After seven or eight days of frantic fighting, the soldiers were on the verge of collapse from physical and mental exhaustion, and the reinforcements they had been waiting for had not arrived for a long time, which made the defenders feel even more desperate.
The main force of reinforcement is definitely not so fast, but why didn't the Han army in the cities around Luoyang send troops to help? It was not until a small team of Chenggao County rushed to the aid of the Han army, who narrowly escaped life, entered Luoyang in embarrassment that the mystery was revealed.
Han Sui's 25,000 cavalry roamed around Luoyang and made a detour back east of Luoyang and the south bank of the Yellow River. They used their powerful mobility to completely control all the arteries outside Luoyang. Turning a blind eye to the small group of fleeing victims, he went all out to attack the reinforcements and supplies rushing to the imperial capital from all over the country, which not only completely broke the neck of the imperial capital, but also achieved the strategic purpose of nourishing the war with war.
Although this news was blocked by Nanying with all its might, it still spread out, if it weren't for the strict supervision of the army by the generals of the various departments and the proper management of the army, I am afraid that it would immediately cause the morale of the army to be discouraged. Nanying even suspected that this small group of Chenggao Han troops was not fighting to break out of the encirclement after a strong battle, but Han Sui deliberately put it into Luoyang, with only one purpose, to use them to shake the morale of the city.
Then, the only reinforcement that can successfully break through the rebel defense line and reach Luoyang is the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Lu Zhi. And the Han army that went to help from all over the country will definitely gather the whole army under the experience of the past, and will never give the rebels a chance to break through, they are afraid that they are also waiting for Lu Zhi to appear!
"Porphyry", "Porphy", a corpse of an enemy is like a heavy sack, thrown down the city without hesitation, making people feel that human life is not as good as grass.
Nanying walked along, and was about to step past an enemy army, when suddenly a cold and cold feeling hit his whole body, and he flew back without hesitation, but his heart sank all the time. He still underestimated Han Sui, and there were not only three killers he sent......
The corpse on the ground suddenly jumped upright, and a miserable sword light burst out of his hand, nailing it to the throat of the southern eagle like a maggot attached to the bone.
The Han soldiers exclaimed, but they were all too late to rescue.
Suddenly, a white and shiny palm reached out and silently imprinted on the assassin's chest. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped, because everyone's minds were deeply rooted in the strange and strange scene of the indistinguishable speed and slowness of the palm.
In the next moment, the assassin with superb swordsmanship was thrown by a trebuchet, and he was directly blasted out, and the person spurted out a shocking blood in mid-air, and finally fell from the city with weak limbs.
All the Han troops, including Nanying, looked at the person who shot with their mouths open. The man was dressed in ordinary Han army armor with a face shield on his face, and he was slowly retracting his right palm.
He nodded to Nan Ying, and a low sound wave came into Nan Ying's ears at the same time: "Stinky boy, you owe me another life!" ”
"It's you! Thank you very much! Nan Ying heard Zhang Jiao's familiar voice, and finally breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart: "You are really elusive!" By the way, have you been feeling anything lately? ”
He frowned and pointed to the sky and said, "That...... When is it coming? Otherwise, it's not a problem for your old man to be trapped in Luoyang all the time! ”
Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Trapped in Luoyang? Just as I was about to say, I felt the oracle again a few days ago, and two days later, here I am! ”
"What?" Nanying almost couldn't believe his ears and blurted out, "Right here? How is this possible? In full view of the public......"
"Southern Eagle!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the city, and the voice was full of anger and resentment.
Nan Ying and Zhang Jiao followed the prestige at the same time.
Outside the city, Han Sui stood alone, with many soldiers behind him. Although far away, Nan Ying still seemed to be able to see the fierce look on his face.
"You're so ruthless!" Han Sui shouted wildly: "You dare to hang my subordinate soldiers to the public, you are simply crazy!" ”
"Fart!" Nanying thought of Zhang Jie's passing, and his eyes wanted to erupt with fire. He jumped on the battlements, and scolded with his halberd finger: "Han Sui, you old dog, you have the ability to take Lao Tzu's life with a knife and a gun, but you sent a few grandsons to assassinate Lao Tzu among ordinary soldiers!" Is this the world-famous Xiliang Army? Phew! Don't be afraid of losing the old face of your Han family ancestor! ”
The soldiers above and below the city were in an uproar, and even the faces of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army showed a look of disbelief.
"You!" Han Sui was speechless for a while, and then scolded back: "Because you deserve to die!" Ben will obey the will of heaven and respond to the will of the people, and go to the imperial capital to sweep away the traitorous eunuchs, intending to return the world to a bright and prosperous world! And you, not only against the will of heaven, aiding and abetting, but also stubbornly resisting, causing misery to the souls, if you don't die, how can you really be justified? ”
The faces of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army gradually returned to calm, and the soldiers of the Han Army shouted and scolded together.
"Shut up!" Nan Ying didn't laugh angrily, he stretched out his right hand, and in an instant, all the noisy sounds on the city wall immediately disappeared.
This hand showed Nanying's high prestige in the Han army, and even Han Sui's eyelids couldn't help jumping.
"How dare you say that it would have been against the will of God? It's really unbelievable! Nanying's arrogant laughter spread throughout the two armies: "Do you dare to make a life-and-death bet with Ben General?" ”
"Han Sui, you deceive the king, rebel against the sky, kill innocents, kill loyalty, disloyalty and filial piety, pigs and dogs are not as good! Your sins are the wrath of the heavens! He slowly stretched out two fingers and said, "Two days!" In two days, if there is no damnation to show the world your wickedness, then you will be struck and killed from the city! What about you? Do you dare to swear to death? ”
Han Sui heard the fury in his heart, and raised his head to meet Nanying's eyes that were shining with cold light, but somehow, it was a chill. Is Southern Eagle crazy? How dare he swear to death in public so unscrupulously! Is it really something that can't be relied on?
He took the sentence that almost burst out of his mouth: "How dare you?" He swallowed it back and sneered: "I didn't expect that the Eagle Yang Zhonglang of the three armies of the brave champion turned out to be just a man who pretended to be a ghost!" ”
He turned his horse and said, "Then I will wait for you in two days, and then I will die in the world!" ”
"Soldiers of the Xiliang Army! If you are obsessed and rebel, you will be burned in two days! Nan Ying said sharply: "Han Sui, since you don't dare to swear in a weak heart, two days later, Ben will personally take your head to comfort the sky!" ”
Han Sui snorted, and finally didn't dare to say the oath of life and death, so he had to beat the horse and gallop. His silence was tantamount to losing in momentum and righteousness, and the officers and men of the Xiliang Army looked at each other, and they all had an uneasy psychology about their future.
And the soldiers of the Han army in the city are even more disrespectful, and the civilians still keep their promises, and as the main general, they are naturally more worthy of a promise. Now, the general openly swore in front of tens of thousands of horses and horses of the two armies, once there is no heavenly curse after two days, then Nanying has only two ways to choose, one is to swear in public and die by himself, and the other is to be ruined and ruined, which is laughed at by the people of the world!
Only Nan Ying jumped off the battlements casually, smiled and patted Zhang Jiao's shoulder and said, "Lao Zhang! Look at the trust that your brother has placed in you! This is even a crush on credibility and life, you must not fool me! Hey, what's wrong with you? What are you shaking? ”
"No, it won't!" Nan Ying screamed: "Don't tell me that the gods won't come in two days!" If he doesn't change his mind, I'm going to jump off the city and kill myself! ”
"Nope! That's not true! Zhang Jiao trembled slightly, although the expression behind the face protection could not be glimpsed, but his frightened voice could not hide the truth in his heart: "I just felt the oracle again, still here, still two days later!" But, but? ”
Nanying let out a long sigh of relief, and then said in surprise: "But what? I've never seen you so out of shape! ”
"Two days later, the trial of life and death begins!" Zhang Jiao blurted out, "What does this mean? Didn't you just make me go straight out of the air? ”
PS: First of all, the first few days were too busy and the update was unstable, which disappointed the brothers. Secondly, these chapters were written in a hurry, and there was little time to review them, and if the brothers found that the sentences did not make sense or made mistakes, I hope they can be reminded.
According to the instructions of the students who gave up NO = admit defeat, the pronunciation of some rare words in the text is briefly analyzed as follows:
轒辒: Zhuyin is fénwēn. From "Sun Tzu. The "oar, lung" in "Seeking Attack" should be a shield-type four-wheeled cart. Cao Cao once commented: the oar, the big shield also, the wheel, the bed also, the bed under the four wheels, from the middle to the city also.
From this, it can be seen that this was a relatively advanced and highly defensive weapon at that time...... In order to learn this, Bai Xue has read a lot of professional books, and I believe that there will be no jokes in the future!
