The battle in Yongyang has reached its last moment, so it is particularly tragic.

After the siege began, Zhang Feng'er directly pulled out the warlord team and lined up directly at the back of the battlefield.

But anyone who dares to retreat or is greedy for life and afraid of death, no matter what the reason, will be killed.

This is tantamount to forcing them to attack with a knife, and after the overseer team killed dozens of soldiers who were afraid of the battle, everyone understood that retreat was a dead end, and the only way to survive was to capture the city in front.

Under the threat of the bright broadsword of the 3,000-strong overseer team in the rear, the thieves had no way to advance or retreat, and could only attack forward without fear of death.

At the moment of life and death, the ferocity of the thieves who had no way to retreat was stimulated, and they burst out with unprecedented combat power.

In the face of these mad and hideous-looking opponents, the already exhausted defenders were unstoppable.

At this time, the defenders of the city could no longer care about the only remaining family resources in their hands, and used all the things in the city that could be used to defend the city.

However, after all the arrows were used up, several walls were breached. At the moment when the thieves climbed to the top of the city, the attacking and defending sides once again fought in close combat.

"Kill!"

Lin Fan stabbed a thief in the abdomen with a shot, picked the body aside, and shouted loudly to the defenders who were still alive behind him.

He was the first to charge and lead the defenders forward, trying to pinch the thief vanguard down the city again.

But the thieves have not only reached the top of the city from one place, even if they kill all the thieves here, it is useless.

The rest of the thieves had already gained a foothold at the head of the city by this time, and were advancing step by step, and more thieves were pouring into the city from behind. And finally connected the dots into a face, several thieves gathered in one place, firmly occupied a section of the city wall, and fought with the defenders.

As the number of breached places increased, and fighting was taking place on all sides of the walls, it was almost impossible to repel the thieves with the remaining strength of the defenders.

Without the sluggishness of the defenders, the speed at which the thieves climbed the ladder was greatly accelerated, and there were more and more thieves in the city, and soon outnumbered the defenders.

The situation in the city was reversed, and the defenders could no longer take the initiative to attack the thieves who had climbed the city walls. The thief army took the initiative, and according to the numerical superiority, they switched from defense to attack, and began to kill the defenders who were still resisting everywhere.

Lin Fan fought hard and counted thieves with his hand, but the situation was like this, and it was useless.

He could only gather the remnants of the army, take the rest of the men and fight and retreat, abandon most of the city walls, and retreat to the north gate tower.

In fact, not only the north gate was in danger, but the rest of the city walls were also lost, the thieves cut off the communication between the defenders, the communication was blocked, and Lin Fan had actually lost the news with the defenders everywhere.

The situation of the west and south gates is unknown, but the shouting of killing is getting quieter, and it should be a bad situation.

As for Chen Fangshu at the east gate, the situation is the most stable, but he has no intention of sticking to the city tower.

He directly gave up the east gate, and together with Wang Hu, he led his men from the east gate to the north gate.

Along the way, the defenders who were still fighting separately after being divided continued to gather behind Chen Fangshu.

But even so, when he joined Lin Fan, there were less than fifty people left behind him, and with Lin Fan's North Gate guards, it was only more than seventy people.

Lin Fan took these remaining troops to occupy the North Gate Tower and a nearby section of the city wall to hold on.

Lin Fan and Chen Fangshu were on the left and on the right, temporarily resisting the footsteps of the thieves at both ends.

Although the number of defenders is small, they already have the idea of death, and burst out with the last of their bloody courage, only seeking to kill the thief. Therefore, every time the thieves want to take a step forward, they have to pay a heavy price.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, Zhang Feng'er's time limit was about to come, but this city tower was still unable to be attacked for a long time, and the main general who was responsible for capturing the north gate

Zhang Quan was also anxious.

When the two sides were still strangled together at the head of the city, and there was no difference between the enemy and the enemy, he ordered the archers under the city to start firing arrows.

This kind of order is undoubtedly to kill even their own people, and the archers are a little looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

But Zhang Quan can't take care of it so much at this time, the rest of the gates have been occupied, and the fighting has gradually stopped, if this north gate can't be beaten, isn't that a joke for the brothers?

So Zhang Quanqiang ordered the arrows to be released, and the archers could only obey the orders and bend their bows and arrows.

Arrows rain down like locusts!

The attacking and defending sides who were fighting in the city did not expect this kind of change, and many people were too late to respond and fell to the ground with arrows.

The thieves didn't want to believe that their own people were so vicious, and after reacting from the initial shock, some people cursed and greeted the eighteen ancestors of those archers.

However, these are obviously useless, they can only dodge the rain of arrows in embarrassment, but there are still people who are constantly being shot into hedgehogs by their own people's bows and arrows.

Lin Fan didn't expect that the thief army would act like this after mastering the absolute superiority, and this kind of move of killing the enemy with eight hundred and losing one thousand would also be used.

Caught off guard, in the first round of arrow rain alone, more than a dozen defenders were killed by the arrows.

However, at this time, the shields in the hands of the defenders played a role, because of the defense, the defenders laid a shield array with their shields, which greatly reduced the threat when the second round of arrow rain came, and reduced casualties.

However, the thieves who were only coarse and linen lacked effective countermeasures, and could only choose to dodge or resist in the face of the dense rain of arrows, and there were many casualties.

Lin Fan was injured in his left arm, and he held a gun in both hands, he had no shield to protect his body, fortunately during the first round of arrow rain, there were not many arrows flying towards him, he avoided it as long as he dodged a little, and the only arrow that could threaten him was also blocked by him with a spear and flew to the side.

But the second round of arrow rain came in a blink of an eye, and this time the arrows were even more dense, because he had been rushing forward, even if he consciously retreated after the first round, but he was still a few steps away from the shield array at this time, and it was impossible to arrive before the arrow rain fell.

"My life is at stake!" With so many arrows, no one could completely dodge or block them, and although Lin Fan's body was still rushing towards the shield array at this time, he was already in despair.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and at this moment, a shout came: "Be careful, my lord! ”

Before the voice fell, a figure rushed out of the shield array, knocking Lin Fan to the ground before the rain of arrows landed.

"Poof, poof!" It's the sound of arrows hitting the flesh.

Just listening to the voice just now, Lin Fan already knew who was the one who threw him down.

The rain of arrows did not stop, and the thieves were not willing to brave the rain of arrows to attack, so the two sides retreated, and the battle rested for a while.

Lin Fan dragged the man into the protective range of the shield array and said, "Erniu, hold on!" ”

It was the one who saved him who had arrested the thief Fu Tianlin and Liu Erniu, a young official of the county government with him in the Song family in Jiming Town.

After the shield array, Lin Fan flattened Liu Erniu's body, leaned against one of the city walls, and said with a wry smile: "Silly boy, what do you say you are stupid at this time?" ”

Liu Erniu's body was bleeding like an infusion, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he kept coughing: "Ahem... I'm not stupid, the things adults did for me... I... I know! ”

"Ahem... Because I'm young, adults have been... has been taking care of me in secret. When the thieves came up, the adults always asked me to follow the adults, and several times when the thieves wanted to kill me, it was the adults who saved me, so I was able to live until now, cough... Ahem... Or... Otherwise, I would have died! ”

Lin Fan squatted on the ground and quietly checked Liu Erniu's arrow wound, and when he touched the location of an arrow, his body shook, revealing a sad look.

The arrow pierced Liu Erniu's lungs, and this kind of injury is fatal for anyone.

The massive blood loss made Liu Erniu's eyes blurry and he couldn't see clearly.

He just kept waving his hands and shouted with some anxiety, "My lord... Are you still there, my lord? ”

Lin Fan's eyes were in tears, and he hurriedly grabbed his hand and said softly: "I'm here, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere!" ”

Holding Lin Fan's hand, Liu Erniu settled down. He smiled and said, "Ahem... I... I'm just a little servant, my lord... But taking care of me for so long, cough... Cough... Today... Today I finally have a chance to repay the adults, even if I die... I can rest easy, too! ”

Liu Erniu's coughing up blood was even more serious, and it was even mixed with pieces of internal organs. Lin Fan organized him to continue: "What stupid things are you talking about? What doesn't die? You're doing well! Stop talking and take a break! ”

Liu Erniu shook his head and said, "No... No! One thing I... I have to... Tell the adults, otherwise... I'm afraid it's... There's no chance! ”

His wound was still bleeding, and Liu Erniu's voice was getting weaker and weaker, as if he was afraid that Lin Fan would not want to listen to him, so he grabbed Lin Fan's hand hard, unwilling to let go.

Lin Fan patted the back of his hand to make him relax, and said softly: "You speak slowly, don't worry, I'll listen!" ”

"Ahem, ahem... One thing I've been having... I've been hiding it from adults.,That's when and... Catching thieves with adults, I was... I deliberately let that Fu Tianlin go. I know he's a good guy and I... I didn't want to arrest him, he would die, so I let him escape! I'm right... I'm sorry, my lord, and I don't deserve to be a servant! Tears flowed from Liu Erniu's eyes, and he said guiltily.

In fact, since then, Liu Erniu has always felt ashamed of Lin Fan and wants to find an opportunity to make amends, so he is so attentive to Bai Yuqing's Deyue Tower after Lin Fan said hello.

Lin Fan was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I know, I always know!" ”

Liu Erniu's eyes widened suddenly: "Adults have always known? That... Why do adults still take care of me like this, don't adults blame me? ”

"Silly boy, how could I blame you? As a servant, you have a debt of duty, but as an ordinary person, you have a clear conscience! ”

Then he attached himself to Liu Erniu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, it's not just you, I also deliberately let him go!" ”

This sentence made Liu Erniu's eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, and he murmured: "I see... I see! ”

Liu Erniu's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was faintly audible.

"Woo... Woo... Whining! ”

The sound of the horn sounded, and as far as the eye could see, some figures appeared at first, and soon from far and near, and by this time it was impossible to count how many people had come.

"It's the banner of the official army! Reinforcements, it's reinforcements, everyone, look, it's reinforcements that have arrived! "The defenders with good sight saw clearly the banners of those men, and they were overjoyed, and told the others loudly!

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!" The surviving defenders instantly boiled over and cheered loudly.

Lin Fan wiped the blood on Liu Erniu's face and said softly, "Erniu, do you hear that?" It's reinforcements coming! ”

Liu Erniu couldn't answer him anymore at this time, the blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet coagulated, his hands could no longer hold Lin Fan's hand, and he fell to the ground weakly, but there was a relieved smile on his face.

Lin Fan closed his eyes, straightened his clothes, straightened his sitting posture, and made him face in the direction of the reinforcements.

After doing all this, Lin Fan stood up and took the spear he had just dropped on the ground from one of the defenders. The tip of the gun was pointed at the thief army, who were in confusion because of the arrival of reinforcements, and shouted:

"Kill!"
