Chapter 1649: Cornered
Pei Xingjian clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Junior brother, let's go to Song Ping, brother take care." ”
This time he went north to Songping County, no matter what the result was, he had to return to Huating Town after that, and the city division could not do without his presiding. If it weren't for the fact that Xue Rengui and the others among the sailors were either transferred by Fang Jun to Youtunwei or entered the newly established lecture hall to study, where would it be his turn to come to Linyi to take charge of the Annan war situation?
It is inevitable that there is some loss between the expressions, and after all, I still can't lead the troops into battle and gallop on the battlefield......
Liu Renliang first returned the salute with his fists, then patted the shoulder of the matching general, and said with a smile: "Why are you so depressed? You are different from us, we are just relying on a bloody brave charge, this life is at best a famous general, you only need to preside over the Huating Town City Bosi steadily, but in the future there will be an opportunity to enter the cabinet to pay respects, scolding Fang Xuan to point out the country, what is not satisfied? ”
Pei Xingjian sighed: "But the little brother still yearns for the military career of this Jin Ge Iron Horse......
He was born in a famous family, he is a child of a large family, and he has always been known for his elegance and elegance, but he has an irrepressible jump and impulse in his bones.
Climb the pavilion to pay respects and point out the country?
That's not what he wanted.
When the big man gallops across the desert on a horse, and the lone army goes deep to capture and kill the Tartars, that is the unbridled smile and arrogance that lives up to his life!
With a salute, Pei Xingjian strode away.
Liu Renliang stood at the window, watching Pei Xingjian lead his soldiers to gallop towards the dock, not only shaking his head and laughing.
is a good son of a family, why is it so heroic and prodigal like the battlefield warrior of Jin Ge Iron Horse?
Tightening the silk silk on his armor, Liu Renliang strode out of the door, flew on his horse surrounded by his pro-soldiers, and galloped all the way to the barracks not far from the governor's palace. ”
"Whoa!"
A muffled thunder sounded like a promise, shaking the four fields!
*****
The Singha city has become a purgatory on earth.
Although it is the capital of the Linyi Kingdom, the buildings of the whole city are not majestic, but the Buddhist temples and brick pagodas that can be seen everywhere show the status of this city.
The walls are no more than a foot high, and they are all made of green bricks, and the soldiers of King Qin's army can easily climb the city wall by stacking people or cutting down some trees as ladders......
There were not many regular troops in Linyi, except for the king's guards, and there were no more than 10,000 troops in the country, all of which were under the control of the great general Gadu, and all of them were in the city at the moment. King Qin's army came from all over the country, and they were all slaves of the wealthy forces of all parties and raised private troops, and their combat effectiveness was extremely low, but they could carry out their orders to the letter.
Even if he knew that he was dead, no one dared to retreat.
This is not a manifestation of spiritual will, but in the country of Linyi, slaves are private property like cattle and sheep, life and death are in the hands of the master, one person escapes, then the whole family will be killed!
King Qin's army was driven by Zhuge Di and a group of generals to attack the city wall desperately, and Jiadu on the city led the elite rebels to occupy the territory and fight to the death, and the casualties of King Qin's army continued to increase. However, as more and more people died, the corpses gradually piled up under the city, and the subsequent slaves stepped on the corpses to climb the city more easily, and the rebels' geographical advantage gradually disappeared, and the situation was precarious......
Gadu had already become a bloody man, and the sword in his hand had slashed and killed many people, and the edge of the blade had been rolled up, gradually dulling and not as sharp as before, and the blood splattered on his body was ticking and condensing into a puddle of blood under his feet, and the entire city had been filled with corpses and blood.
"General, I can't hold ......"
A close general was wounded several times, and a bloodstained figure came to Jiadu's side and slashed an enemy who had just climbed the city, and said with a violent gasp.
Gadu took a rare breath for a while, looked solemnly at the continuous torches under the city and the enemies who were attacking the city wall like a desperate death, and said in a deep voice: "How are the casualties? ”
"Fortunately, we occupy a condescending geographical position, and there are not many casualties, but these slaves are dying more and more, and they have been piled up into a mountain, and they are about to be on par with the city.
Gadu immediately decided: "Order the death squad to drag the enemy, and the large army will immediately withdraw from the city and retreat into the city, with the help of the terrain, let's fight them to the death in the city!" ”
The rebels are elite, but once the geographical advantage of the city is lost, it will be a situation of being outnumbered, and the good tiger can't stand the wolves, and the only way to resist is to die. Retreating to the city, with the help of the cover of the terrain of houses, the enemy will not be able to give full play to the advantage of numbers, and fight street battles, and the rebels with better individual quality will have an advantage.
"Whoa!"
The general responded, but did not go down to convey the order immediately, but leaned closer to Jiadu's side and asked in a low voice: "General, Tang people...... When will we be able to help? Without support, we're afraid we'll be entangled by these slaves! ”
Jia Du gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Hold on, the Tang army has already reorganized its troops, and it is on the way here, as long as we can repel this wave of the enemy's attack, we can join forces with the Tang army inside and outside, and annihilate them all!" ”
"Whoa!"
The surrounding soldiers all heard his words, and the instinct to survive made the exhausted body suddenly regain its strength, and it slashed with a knife without fear of death!
When the generals around him went down to convey the order, Jia Du found that he had bitten his lip, the fishy sweet blood entered his mouth, and the monstrous hatred in his chest burned into the sky, and he wished that he could lead the troops into Da Nang at this moment, and slaughter all the treacherous, treacherous and vicious Tang people, leaving no one behind!
If it weren't for the gullibility of the Tang people, how could he dare to lead troops to rebel and kill the king, so that he was in a Jedi at this moment?
Under the city.
Zhuge sat on his horse and twisted his body uneasily, looking at the fierce slaughter of the fires rushing to the sky above the city, with the tidal shouts and howls in his ears, and his heart was full of anxiety and fear.
The generals around him are also ugly, and the mountain-like corpses under the city walls are all private soldiers and slaves they raise, that is property, who doesn't feel distressed like ripping off a piece of flesh? The most important thing is whether you can attack the Singha Buluo City, if you attack it, Zhuge Di will become the king, everyone will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, no matter how big the loss is, it can be made up, and the strength is better than before; But in case he hit his head on the city wall and bled back...... That would be a complete tragedy for the loss of the wife and the loss of the army.
"That...... Or...... Stop the offensive for the time being and adjust the troops? ”
Finally, someone couldn't help it and spoke.
If you want to have a place in the land of Linyi Kingdom, you don't rely on official titles, but real power in your hands. If all the private soldiers and slaves are dead, even if they are rewarded with the title of prince after the war, what is the point?
If you don't have strength, you have to be swallowed by others in a blink of an eye, and you won't even have a scum left......
As soon as the man spoke, someone immediately chimed in.
It is really that the battle on the city wall is too tragic, the death toll is too terrifying, and the meritorious service is important, but the power of one's own heritage is even more important, otherwise even if the great merit comes, it is just a castle in the air, making wedding clothes for others.
Zhuge Di also hesitated......
It's not that he feels sorry for how many people have died, as long as he can destroy the rebels and capture the royal city, he will win, and the king's position is at his fingertips, he doesn't believe that Jiadu will capture the royal city for so long, and he will still keep Fan Zhenlong's life. He hesitated in case he insisted on attacking the city, would these wealthy ruffians who were just surrendering to him in the name of righteousness simply come to the front and defect?
But if he gave up the siege at this moment, he was afraid that if Jia Du had a chance to breathe, he would come to a Jedi counterattack.
After all, the more than 10,000 rebels under the command of Jia Du are the regular army of the entire Linyi country, and their combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of the rabble of King Qin's division......
Fortunately, someone stepped forward to take the cylinder for him.
Captain Tang sat on his horse and shouted: "Stupid! For the sake of Shanjiu, how can he withdraw his troops at such a critical juncture? We can't stand these casualties, and the rebels can't stand it! The decisive thing in war lies in persistence, whoever can grit his teeth and hold on to the end will be victorious, and whoever retreats first will lose! You can't retreat, just hold on, and the rebels will definitely collapse first! ”
Some people are not convinced: "You Tang people are indeed much smarter than us, but you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, anyway, it's not your private slave who died, of course you don't feel distressed!" Then again, aren't you Tang people going to send troops to help us, people? Why haven't you come yet? ”
