The Beginning of the War Chapter 124 Raising the Fighting Spirit
"Kill!"
As soon as Yan Jun saw the suspension bridge falling, he rushed out of the log several meters long with a bucket thick. The shield-armoured soldiers stood directly on the drawbridge's wrench, blocking the flying arrows.
Mo Chen looked at the next one, and saw that Yan Jun's posture was to directly knock the city gate open!
Sure enough, in less than a blink of an eye, a 'boom' came from under the city, this was the Yan army began to hit the city gate, and Mo Chen felt that the city walls were shaking slightly.
"Catapult team, give it to me, and smash these Yan troops with stones for me."
The young people who had already been waiting for the battle immediately picked up the stone on the ground and smashed it fiercely against the Yan army besieging the city.
Although the armor in the hands of those shield armor soldiers can block the arrows and feathers of the soldiers on the head of the city, they can't stop these dozens of pounds of stones, and they were immediately smashed to the ground.
As soon as these Yan soldiers were exposed, they were greeted by countless arrow feathers, and in less than a moment, the dozen Yan soldiers were shot to the ground, but a team of Yan soldiers ran out, carried a log and hit the city gate again, but a moment later, they were smashed to the ground by a stone, and the arrow feathers pierced their hearts and died.
At this time, the Yan army also increased the attack on the city head at the city gate, and countless arrow feathers broke through the air, if it were not for the thick wooden planks blocking most of the arrow feathers, the city would have been killed and injured a lot, but even so, there were still soldiers and young people who were planted with arrows and fell down the city head, and if the dumplings generally fell in the moat.
The soldiers are shooting arrows, the young men are smashing the stones, the arrow feathers on both sides are constantly falling on the opponent's camp, people are falling every moment, and the people who fall on the city are directly dragged away and taken to the rear to bandage, and no one can care about those who fall off the city.
The Yan army under the city died batch after batch, and the stone-throwing young men on the city also changed many batches, but no one flinched.
The battle was fought from dark to dawn, and then from dawn to noon, and then the Yan army retreated. There was once again a chorus of cheers and shouts above the city.
The Yan army temporarily retreated, leaving corpses all over the ground, and this time the Yan army did not leave dozens of corpses as the last time, but left thousands of corpses.
And on the head of the city, because of the geographical advantage, the casualties were not too many, but they also lost dozens of soldiers and hundreds of young and strong. The planks on the head of the city were filled with arrow feathers shot by the archers of the Yan army, densely packed.
Xiao Liuzi looked at the arrow feathers all over the ground, beckoned everyone to start pulling up the wooden planks hanging on the city wall above his mouth, and carefully pulled the arrow feathers from the wooden boards, in his opinion, each of these arrow feathers is a hope of survival.
Watching the Yan army team leave, Mo Chen's mood was a little heavy, can such a battle be held next? He actually wanted to abandon the city and run away with his brothers and Huang Qiuping, but looking at the young people cheering at the head of the city, with a happy expression, he was excitedly pulling out the arrow feathers inserted on the wooden board and putting them together neatly, he dispelled the idea in his heart again, and he led people to escape, so what should these young and strong people do? After the Yan army, which had participated in the battle to defend the city, broke the city, these people definitely did not have a good result.
"Sample, don't run if you have the ability! Let's fight your grandfather for another 300 rounds! Fat Tiger jumped directly on the wall and shouted.
Fat Tiger's actions successfully attracted the attention of most people, and after Fat Tiger saw that he became the focus, he scolded more fiercely, shouted more fiercely, and joined God more. In the end, Mochen really couldn't stand it.
"Fat Tiger, come here."
When Fat Tiger heard his eldest brother's words, he immediately ran over, and there was still the arrogance just now.
"Big brother, what are you looking for me?"
Mo Chen pointed to the corpses of the Yan soldiers outside the city, and said: "The next battle should be even more cruel, the people have no armor, so the next battle will be very bad, you take people to clean up the battlefield, get back the weapons you can have, and pull off the armor!" Although it is tattered, it is much better than the cloth clothes. ”
"Yes, big brother." The fat tiger answered, turned around and beckoned the people and soldiers at the head of the city to go to work.
"Meng Quan, Du Tian, please let the two of you lead your battalion and 10,000 young people to tear down the houses near the city wall, and move the stones up."
"Okay." Meng Quan and Du Tian didn't say a word when they heard this, and took people to follow Mochen's words.
"Xiao Mo! Do you think we can hold the capital? At this time, Huang Chengzhong came out and asked.
Mo Chen looked at the Yan army camp in the distance, because it was daytime, they could see that there was still a busy figure, he had already noticed that place, even if the war started until now, he still didn't stop working there, let alone come over to help attack them, he was busy with his own business.
"Uncle Huang, you see the valley next to the Yan army camp!"
Huang Chengzhong looked at it, nodded, and said: "Well, that is the place where the Yan army cut down wood to build a cloud ladder, and I wanted to take people to attack there last night, but there were too many people there, so I could only retreat and burn the place where the cloud ladder was piled up." ”
Mo Chen was a little worried: "If I guessed correctly, the Yan army has now rushed out a lot of simple cloud ladders overnight Although the Yan army has retreated this time, I am afraid that the next attack, the Yan army will not just attack the city gate, but use the cloud ladder to launch a comprehensive attack, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the young and strong people will suffer heavy casualties, and the young and strong people may have a rout, and then a comprehensive rout will be formed, and then there will be a crisis." ”
"So what now?" Huang Chengzhong obviously thought about these problems and was not surprised by Mo Chen's words, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only hope that he, the prospective son-in-law, would have a good way.
Mo Chen thought for a while and said: "Now it can only stimulate the people's heart to defend the city, how can I say that it is also a city of more than 100,000 people, if the people of the whole city are mobilized to defend the city, then the Yan army will definitely not be able to break through the lower capital." ”
Huang Chengzhong smiled a little bitterly, shook his head and said: "Xiao Mo, although there are more than 100,000 people below, except for women, the elderly, and children, the young and strong people who can go to the battlefield are already here, but even if there are so many people, we don't have so many weapons!" Now the young man at the head of the city is still holding his own kitchen knife, hoe and stick! ”
Mo Chen said: "There is no way, at the moment of life and death, everyone is very important, the elderly, women and children can't go to the battlefield, but it's still okay to cook in the back and help the injured bandage their wounds." ”
"What Xiaoyou said is that I will immediately gather the women and children in the city." Zhou Ru stood up and said.
"It's bothering Lord Zhou." Mo Chen arched his hand. For Ruzhou Ru, this old man, Mo Chen still admires it very much, this parent official of the lower capital, an old man who can't help but be weak, when the Yan army attacked the city, not only did not escape, but stayed in the city to do his part. He saw with his own eyes that it was this old man, as if the old man could be blown down by a gust of wind, and he actually picked up a stone weighing dozens of catties and smashed it with difficulty towards the Yan army under the city.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the captain of the Mo Battalion is not from our lower capital city, and he ran back to support our lower capital, Lao Qiao is deeply grateful." Zhou Ru hurriedly returned the salute, he did not put on a superior posture just because his official position was greater than Mo Chen. Not to mention that Mo Chen is here to help, just to say that in this era, military attaches are more important than civilian officials.
"Xiao Mo, then what should we do next?" Huang Chengzhong asked.
"Uncle Huang, please send someone to gather the young and strong people in the city, I want them to persist in defending the immortal battle." Silent Dust.
"Okay, I'll send someone." Huang Chengzhong immediately said.
Soon, the streets under the city of Xiadu were filled with dense young and strong people, Mo Chen stood on the staircase guardrail at the head of the city, scanning the tens of thousands of young and strong people in front of him, and at the head of the city behind him, there were motionless elite soldiers.
The young and strong people in the crowd didn't know how to suddenly gather them and talk one after another.
After Mo Chen glanced at these people, he shouted loudly: "I believe you have also seen the Yan army outside the city eyeing us down, the cruelty of the war, you have all experienced it, but I tell you, the next battle will be even more cruel, many of us will die in battle." ”
When Huang Chengzhong heard Mo Chen say that, he suddenly secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, isn't this a blow to morale? At this moment, we should say that the situation is good, how can we say that it is bad! Sure enough, when I looked at it, I saw that many young and strong people heard that many people would die, and that person might have his own share, and a look of horror and fear suddenly appeared on his face.
Huang Chengzhong just wanted to remind Mo Chen, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Mo Chen with a gesture.
Mo Chen also saw the frightened expressions of some of these young and strong people, but he didn't care at all, and continued: "But we don't have a choice, you can be afraid, you can be frightened, but you can't retreat, the city is broken, no one can escape, including your family, the Yan army will kill your parents with a knife and trample on your wives and daughters." The two attacks of the Yan army, these two attacks, the Yan army lost 2,000 people and horses, if the Yan army breaks the city, then according to the casualties of the Yan army, the Yan army will definitely slaughter the city to vent its anger, look at your elderly parents behind you, think about your wives and children, this war, we are not fighting for the country, but for our own families, we only fight to the death, our parents will not be killed by the Yan army, our wives and daughters will not be bullied by the Yan soldiers, we must protect our families, fight to the death. ”
"Fight to the death and never retreat~"
"Kill the Yan Army~"
The young and strong people were completely ignited by Mo Chen's short words of anger, war intent, originally they were still very reluctant to go to the battlefield, although they didn't dare to say it clearly, but there will always be thoughts in their hearts, why do I want to come up here to die, now, these are all gone, some are just to protect the family's fighting spirit, the fear on the face is all gone, replaced by a strong fighting spirit, the determination to protect the family, and fight for the family.
