Chapter 155
In the middle of the night, the rain gradually stopped, and the whole city was shrouded in silence.
The father and son of the Dou family were walking back worriedly, when suddenly the earth shook, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping past. In the houses on both sides of the road, many people were already in a commotion, and they were obviously aware of this unusual movement.
The father and son glanced at each other, and saw a rare fear and panic in each other's eyes! In the next moment, the two of them rushed towards the garrison of the army as fast as they could.
The enemy is attacking the city!
At such an unexpected midnight moment!
The moment this cognition came into mind, the Dou family's father and son had disappeared in place. They were always on guard against enemy attacks, and they also arranged corresponding manpower at various city gates. But after the battle just now, the enemy's losses were relatively large, and I thought that I would breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect the opponent to play cards out of common sense.
It's been less than an hour and a half since the last siege, and these people have already made a comeback!
When the father and son rushed back, the officers and men in the army had already assembled neatly and spontaneously, and when they saw the embarrassed appearance of the two of them, their eyes were full of fear and anxiety.
The huge offensive outside the city had already made them understand the situation at the moment.
Seeing this, the father and son of the Dou family turned over and mounted their horses silently, and then divided the soldiers in front of them into four parts according to the strength of the enemy's attack. Among them, the two city gates with strong offensive were led by the father and son of the Dou family to resist, and the remaining two city gates were led by the other two deputy generals.
At the ugly moment, the first round of fierce attacks began.
Dou Shiqian was guarding the south city gate, and it was also the most offensive enemy in the four city gates.
Due to the disparity in troops, they could not open the city gate to fight as they wanted, so they could only endure the humiliation in their hearts, and divided some elite soldiers to fight against the city gate. The rest of the people stood at the castle tower, and once they saw the enemy rushing up with a ladder, they immediately sent their swords into the opponent's body.
The thick smell of blood filled the heavens and the earth, and the air that had just rained became turbid and unpleasant, and the people of the city hid in their houses, listening to the sounds of fighting, shouting, and crying of pain, and many of them had already knelt down and prayed.
When the first round of offensive stopped, the troops in the city suffered heavy losses, among which the south gate where Dou Shiqian was located was almost breached, and if it was not for the temporary transfer of the people from the east city gate, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At three o'clock, the second round of siege began......
At the end of the day, the third round of siege began......
……
Dou Changke's face was already covered with blood, blurring his vision for a while. The sword in his hand kept slashing and stabbing, and the movement gradually became mechanical and numb. There were all kinds of never-ending voices in his ears, and strange and hideous faces rushed to his eyes, and as the weapons in his hands pierced in and out, those faces showed the color of death without exception.
He seemed to lose his senses, repeating the slashing motion.
At this time, an entourage suddenly jumped to his side, wiped the blood on his face, and said hurriedly: "Childe, the city gate is about to break." A subordinate has been ordered to take you away. ”
Behind him, five more people jumped out, protecting Dou Changke in the middle, and quickly retreated backwards.
Dou Changke's eyebrows moved, this person's address to his father was "master", which means that he is not a soldier in the army, but a guard in his own house. He just didn't expect that his father would prepare such a way back for him.
But in this situation, how can he leave?
Seeing that he didn't move, the entourage was also anxious, "Childe, now is not the time to be rash." The lord has ordered people to make preparations, and when we arrive at the west city gate, we will let the soldiers defending the city fight a bloody way for us. Can't put it off any longer......"
"Shut up!" Dou Changke snorted coldly, and when he saw that he had to persuade again, his eyes swept over solemnly, "You don't have to persuade me again." The city is with me, and the city is dead and I am dead. ”
If he takes advantage of this to leave, what is the difference between him and Cheng Yuan, who escaped from the battle?
"Father is confused too......" he muttered, but a touch of sourness welled up in his heart. He knew that his father wanted to stay for the Dou family, but he forgot that he was also a member of the soldiers, and he should live and die with the city.
The entourage beside him seemed to have already known his decision, and did not continue to persuade him, but instead grabbed his weapons and threw himself into the battle as well.
Due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, the enemy outside the city again and again consumed their forces, after the ninth attack, the south gate collapsed, thousands of enemies rushed in, saw the soldiers to kill, caught the people, the city instantly became a hell on earth.
"Newspaper—the western gate has been breached—"
"Newspaper—the East Gate has been breached—"
"Newspaper—the North Gate has been breached—"
Dou Shiqian looked up to the sky and roared, grief-stricken, and when he was in a trance, a long sword stabbed straight into his shoulder. At this time, Dou Changke shouted, took the spear and opened the long sword, and took the opportunity to jump to Dou Shiqian's side, and said hurriedly: "Father, how are you?" ”
"Son...... City...... The city is broken......" Dou Shiqian's face was full of despair, looking at the enemies who kept coming, he suddenly roared, and rushed into the enemy army with his knife.
Dou Changke followed and rushed in, and he didn't know how many people he had killed, until he was caught, he seemed to regain consciousness, and looked at the situation with sadness. But he soon realized that something was wrong. These enemies not only captured them, but even captured the people of the city and gathered them in an open field in the east of the city.
The father and son of the Dou family were tied behind their backs, and when they saw this chaotic picture, their faces changed drastically. The next moment, he saw Dou Changke suddenly shake off the enemy's restraint beside him, and said angrily: "What are you doing here? These are the innocent people of the city......"
"What about the innocent?" Yun Sheng walked out from behind the crowd and sneered, "I am ordered by the prince of the world to come and deal with you rebellious thieves!" Someone! Dig a pit! Bury them all! ”
……
At the same time, on the official road at night, Yuan Mindong rode a horse and galloped under the protection of his entourage. For some reason, his eyelids suddenly jumped violently, and there seemed to be a large rock pressing down on his chest, making him gasp.
Hurry up, hurry up!
