Chapter 14: The Xiapi Rebellion (6)

There was chaos in the city, the chaotic footsteps of the soldiers filled the streets and alleys, and the awakened people hid in their rooms, covering their mouths vigorously for fear of making a little noise.

It seems that the war in the north has finally burned.

A group of soldiers was trotting towards Simon, silent, grim-faced, resolute, the first to be assembled, sent to support Simon, though their group was only fifty men.

The shadow of Simon could already be seen, less than three hundred paces away, but only a dozen breaths to get there.

But the centurion who led the team narrowed his eyes - there seemed to be something strange on the side of the west gate.

"You guys, go to the city wall first," said the centurion, who suddenly stopped, and pointed to a few men behind him, and then to a few others, and said, "You guys, follow me to the city gate." ”

"Yes!"

It shouldn't be mistaken, the centurion thought to himself, the shadow on the other side of the West Gate just now...... I'm afraid that a few people are fighting!

As we got closer to the west gate, the shadows reflected in the firelight became clearer, and the ground outside the city wall reflected the scene inside the hole in the wall, and a man raised his knife and cut off a head, which rolled to the ground and rolled out of the city wall, exposing itself to the centurion's field of vision.

Is that...... The head of the guard.

"Draw your sword!" The centurion shouted without thinking, and at the same time drew his sword and rushed towards the hole in the wall, once the city gate was occupied by them, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Bold thief! Don't hurry up and catch it! "Before the people arrived, the sound came first, the centurion's practice made him lose the perfect opportunity to sneak attack, but he did this, just to delay the time for those people to open the city gate for a while, Xiapi is just a county town, the city gate is not as good as those big county towns, just a wooden gate one foot thick, there is a layer of iron outside the wooden gate, which is not only to reinforce, but also to prevent the city gate from corruption, to open the city gate, you only need to lift down the huge bolt on the city gate.

Everyone in the wall cave was stunned, they didn't expect that the support would come so quickly.

"Don't worry! I'll stop them, and open the door!" The burly man, who was called the eldest brother by the two behind him, resolutely turned around, he grasped the knife that was still stained with blood with one hand, his left leg moved forward slightly, and his right leg took a step back, putting on a defensive posture.

As soon as the centurion turned and stood in the firelight, he glanced at it and ascertained the situation in the cave of the wallβ€”the guards of the gate had been killed, and the cave was in shambles, and the corpses were lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground, including the bodies of the guards and the corpses of these spies, and at this moment, counting the man who stood in front of him, there were seven enemies in the cave.

It must be solved before they open the gates!

When this thought came to the centurion's mind, he had already attacked, he rushed forward and swept with his sword, but the man in front of him was already prepared, he leaned back the moment the centurion attacked, the tip of the knife passed by him, and he could even feel the chill left by the sharp knife in his neck.

One blow was not finished, and the next knife followed, it seems that the centurion did not intend to leave any room at all, this time the knife came from left to right, the man immediately raised the knife to block, the two knives collided, bursting out of a spark, the two men gritted their teeth and looked at each other's eyes, they both used all their strength, this blow, if anyone loses, then only stay alive.

The two were facing each other, the man suddenly became unstable, his face changed, obviously he didn't expect this centurion to attack his next plate, but everything was too late, and the victory and defeat were divided in this way.

The burly man fell to the ground, and the centurion immediately slashed forward

Pierced his heart, blood continued to seep from the corners of the man's mouth, and before he closed his eyes completely, one after another armor-clad shadows stepped past him.

......

......

Zhang Long finally broke away from the encirclement of the rebel army, he was panting violently, his body was covered with blood, and the knife in his hand was almost curled, he raised his head and looked around, there were only seven or eight cronies left around him, and with a few fresh faces, they were probably the soldiers who had joined their team halfway.

And the situation of his cronies and soldiers was not much better, they were all tired, and they wanted to take off the obstructive armor on their bodies, and just fell asleep on the grass, but if it weren't for the armor on their bodies, I am afraid that many of them would not be able to stand here now.

A soldier's face was pale, his side waist was stabbed, he pressed his hand on the side waist, but the blood continued to slip out from between his fingers, and before long, I am afraid that he will faint due to blood loss, and in this kind of place fainting, no one is willing to save him, so he can only grit his teeth and hold on, to a safe place, he dares to completely calm down.

But by then, he might have been completely dead.

Zhang Long looked back at the camp, the shouting of killing continued, but it was much weaker than before, but the huge fire became more and more intense, as if it was going to burn the entire sky to ashes.

"Let's go, brothers, and when you get to the city, all will be fine." Zhang Long didn't know if this sentence was comforting, but he had to say something to cheer up the brothers around him.

"Let's go?" A gloomy voice suddenly came from the darkness, "General Zhang Long...... Where is this going? ”

Zhang Long picked up the knife that was on the verge of collapse, looked at the direction where the voice came from, and let out a low shout, "Who is coming?!" ”

"General Zhang Long is already a dying person, so there is no need to know my name," the voice actually smiled, "I'm afraid that General Zhang Long will go down there and tell those ghosts that I killed you, and those ghosts will come to me, and I want to live a few more years." ”

After speaking, a person rode a black Kitahara steed, slowly walked out of the darkness, he was thin, and there was no weapon in his hand, but he was not alone, behind him, one after another dark shadows stood out.

Five, ten, twenty, fifty, hundred......

It wasn't until Zhang Long and his soldiers were surrounded by water again that the commotion around them stopped.

"General Zhang Long, goodbye," the gloomy man chuckled, turning his horse's head as if intending to get out of here.

"Who the hell are you?!" Zhang Long's roar suddenly came from behind him.

So the man suddenly stopped, he turned his face sideways, still smiling, "We...... It's the rebels. ”

The man's figure was getting farther and farther away, and before he left completely, he left a sentence, "These people, there is no need to leave any of them." ”

Behind him, Zhang Long and his men were instantly swallowed up by the surging crowd.

......

......

The rebels' offensive intensified, but the support was a drop in the bucket, and within a breath of air, the arrows and rolling stones on the walls were decreasing, and when these things were exhausted, they could no longer stop the rebels from climbing the walls.

Because of the darkness, they couldn't see how many enemies there were below, but the offensive of the thief army never seemed to weaken, and even the hot oil ignited the monstrous flames, which could not stop them from advancing.

The garrison commander shot the last arrow in the quiver, but did not take the other quiver handed by the soldier behind him, and he was ruthless

Hammered the city wall, and glanced faintly in the direction of the camp outside the city, the camp seemed to have been eaten, and it was a full six thousand people! You must know that the defenders in the city are only 3,000, and they can eat 6,000 people in one night...... How many people were sent?

"General! They're coming up again! One soldier said hoarsely.

"Rolling Stones! Smash with a rolling stone! Smash these shitty fucks on me! The garrison commander said viciously.

"But...... We don't have any more stones. The soldier turned his head blankly and looked at his superior, who also looked at him blankly, it was a recruit who had just enlisted in the army, looking at his age, he was only in his early twenties, his green face was full of fear and helplessness, he drooped the corners of his eyes, biting his lip fiercely, not letting himself cry.

"Then take up your spears," the garrison commander turned back from the recruit, "and wherever they come up, you will use your spears to stab them back!" ”

"Yes!!" The recruit replied in the loudest voice, as if that would dispel the fear in his heart, and he turned to the other side of the wall, grabbed a spear, and trotted back to his place, but as soon as he stood still, a knife that was not sharp suddenly pierced his chest.

He looked at the big boy in front of him, who was not a few years older than himself, and looked stunned, and the big boy also looked at him with a stunned face, this was the first person he killed, but it was also the last.

In the next moment, the recruit suddenly raised his left hand, pinched the knife that had pierced his chest, dropped his spear, and rushed forward with a shout and a roar, and he grabbed the big boy in front of him by the neck, and rushed down the wall with him.

In the end, the bodies of the two big boys smashed to the ground together, there was a muffled sound, both of them lost their breath, and one after another rebel soldiers ran past them, stepped on their bodies, but no one noticed, these two, like big boys hugging each other.

The fierce battle lasted until dawn, and still no rebel soldier climbed the city wall, and the city gate in the city was never opened, Xu Zhi watched from a distance, and suddenly frowned, this time Pi seemed to be stronger than imagined.

The garrison commander gasped, and he turned his head back and asked, "Are there any arrows yet?" ”

But no one answered him.

The soldier in charge of handing him the quiver was shot in the neck by a stray arrow in the last wave of siege, and died there on the spot, the garrison commander was stunned for a moment, he sighed, walked over, gently closed his eyes for the soldier, and then turned his head to look at the remnants of the soldiers around him, the thieves outside the city stopped their offensive for some reason, but he knew that this was only the beginning of the next wave of siege.

He turned his head and watched the sun rise over the horizon little by little, and the shouts of the thieves outside the city reached his ears little by little, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his weapon, and roared, "Come on! You bastards! ”

In the twelfth year of Tianfu, on April 9, the sun rose, and the city of Xiapi was broken.

The rebels paid an unimaginable price in this battle, they suffered more than 10,000 casualties, most of the people who participated in the siege of the city, in the end, did not survive, the soldiers of Xiapi, until the end, none of them surrendered, and their county guards were the same, until noon, they were found and hanged themselves in his small study, and he obviously had a chance to escape.

But it was precisely this battle that won the first piece of land south of the Chijiang River for the rebel army, and the real rebel army also appeared on the battlefield of the world from this day.
