When they arrived at the city wall, Daning's soldiers rushed out of the trench, and seven or eight people set up a ladder to send it to a high place, while the Yue people on the city wall stretched out their hooks and tried hard to push the ladder down.

After lifting it, five or six soldiers grabbed the rope and dragged it down, and the Yue people on the city wall pushed the ladder with a hook to push it outward.

It's not anyone's strength, it's anyone's more reluctant to give up.

The cloud ladder leaned against the city wall, and the Yue people leaned out half of their bodies and aimed their bows and arrows at the Daning soldiers on the ladder to shoot frantically, and one by one the feather arrows fell, and the sound of breaking the air was the grim smile of the god of death.

The soldier who was afraid of going up the ladder fell after being hit by several arrows, while his comrades behind him took his place and continued to move forward.

Wars that happen for whatever reason are not gentle on human life, death is commonplace on the battlefield, and there is no time to grieve when the closest comrades-in-arms fall, that is what should be done after war, if alive.

Wang Kuohai, who was holding a huge shield, climbed up step by step along the ladder, the sound of the feather arrow hitting his shield was not broken, when he finally approached the height of the city wall, a spear poked down from above and tried to push him down, holding the ladder with one hand and holding the shield with the other, he did not shake, because he was Wang Kuohai.

Bang, the giant shield smashed on the edge of the city wall, half of the battlements were smashed off, and the Yue soldiers guarding there were smashed over two or three, and when they saw the strong Daning general coming up, the Yue people swarmed from both sides, but a big iron rod smashed them to the ground, Wang Kuohai thought that he was the first to climb the city wall of Tinglan County, and roared excitedly, and then saw that about a dozen zhang away, Shen Leng's side had fallen a circle of corpses.

"Kill the way for the brothers in the back!"

Wang Kuohai shouted, holding his shield and hitting forward, the arrow shot on his iron shield, the arrow flew, the spear poked at his iron shield, the spear broke, he didn't have any fancy moves, just hit it like a heavy giant beast, one by one the Yue soldiers were knocked under the city wall by him, the people who fell under the city wall couldn't stand up, even if they could stand up, they were facing the horizontal knives of the Daning soldiers.

In order to prevent the city wall from being easily breached, the Yue people piled up low walls one by one, almost ten zhang away, so that even if the Ning people came up in any position, there were low walls on both sides of their position, and they would face the situation of being besieged.

It is conceivable how much pressure the first batch of Ning soldiers to kill the city wall will bear, but they can't retreat, no matter how many enemies there are, they can only rush forward, use their own lives to defend the place for the comrades who come up later, and then expand.

One by one, the soldiers came up, and the comrades in front fell one by one, and went forward one after another.

In Tinglan County, because there were so many refugees who poured in before, every household was crowded with people, but they still couldn't let go, and the streets were full of people.

They huddled together, not daring to listen to the shouts of death on the city walls, nor daring to look, they preferred to close their ears rather than close their eyes, as if they could avoid death by closing their senses, but the shouts of killing kept breaking into their ears, and fear spread much faster than the plague.

"The Ning army has rushed to the city wall."

Someone whispered, but to the people around him, it was like a thunderbolt.

The other person looked at the wooden stick in his hand, and suddenly reacted to something, and threw the wooden stick away, and the person not far away from him looked at the shabby leather armor that he had picked off from another person not long ago, and was silent for a moment, and quickly took off the leather armor he had killed and grabbed and threw it out of the crowd.

Armor piercing, kill!

Weapon-wielder, kill!

Troublemaker, kill!

Those who do not follow, kill!

......

When they thought that the Ning army would not be able to break through this fortified city, the abandonment order did not have much pressure on them, and so many soldiers with such a high wall could not stop a discarding order?

But I really couldn't stop it, so the fear began to spread.

"Ning people kill in, will we die?"

Someone asked, but no one could give him an answer, and everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads.

"Yesterday, Ning people shouted, as long as they are not the accomplices of the rebels, they will not be held accountable."

"It seems that as long as you don't collude with the rebels and don't help the rebels, after the city is broken, Daning will not only not pursue it, but also distribute land?"

"Actually, we used to live well, from the destruction of the country to the present twelve years, the imperial court has reduced taxes every year, which is much better than the original life, but this battle has ruined our family again."

"If we didn't have this battle, we should live our lives comfortably at home at this time."

"As long as we don't walk around, as long as we don't go up to the walls to help, we should be fine."

At this moment, a group of Vietnamese soldiers came from a distance, and the captain led by him shouted while banging on the gong: "Strong men come with me, you need to transport supplies on the city wall, you follow me to the arsenal to carry it!" ”

He shouted again, and none of the people huddled in the street stood up.

"What are you doing!"

The captain looked at those people incredulously: "The Ning people are about to attack, and you are still pretending to be dead here?!" ”

Still no one paid attention to him, the crowd subconsciously squeezed together again, like a group of chickens huddled together because of hunger and cold, the captain's angry scolding would not have any effect on them, they did not dare, and they did not want to.

"Get up for Lao Tzu!"

Angry, the captain strode over, grabbed a young man's clothes and pulled them up: "My brothers are still fighting the city wall, but you are playing dead here, are you worthy of them!" ”

"Home because you don't have it!"

The young man suddenly burst out with a force and pushed the captain away: "If it weren't for you, would Ning Ren kill someone?" ”

The lieutenant was held up by his subordinates, he looked at the monster and looked at the young man, he couldn't understand why the other party had such an idea, he glared at the young man angrily and shouted, "Do you know what your identity is? You are the Yue people! You have the blood of the Yue people in your bones! ”

"I just want to live my own life."

The young man squatted down again: "I don't want to fight, I don't want to kill, I don't want to be killed, Ning Jun was still shouting yesterday, as long as we don't cooperate with you to resist, we will be fine...... I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere. ”

The anger of the Vietnamese military captain was ignited at once, and he went up and kicked the young man in the head: "It's only been twelve years!" It's only been 12 years! You've already resigned yourself to your fate?! ”

He went up and punched and kicked, the young man was knocked to the ground, and soon there was blood on his face, and the captain's men hurriedly came over to hold him and persuade him, and the captain looked back at his soldiers fiercely: "What about you?" Do you also think that this battle should not be fought? Do you already feel like you're Ningren?! ”

"Captain."

A veteran looked at him and said in a sad tone: "Look at these young men, how many familiar faces are there?" Captain, from the destruction of the country to the present, I am the only soldier under your command, they were all recruited later, twelve years, which of them participated in the war against the Ning army at the beginning? Captain, don't be mad at them...... Twelve years will change many things and many people. ”

The lieutenant turned his head to look at him: "Even you're scared?!" ”

The veteran shook his head slowly: "I'm not afraid, I knew from the day the captain pulled me to drink, crying that we had the hope of recovering the country, this life is coming to an end, but I still followed the captain you, what am I afraid of?" I'm nothing to be afraid of, I just can't do anything about it. ”

He pulled out his knife and looked back at the walls: "Don't force them, this is what a man in a battle uniform should do." ”

The lieutenant was stunned for a long time, then turned around and walked in the direction of the city wall.

When he led his men to the city wall, a corpse fell from a high altitude and fell not far from them, and soon the blood flowed under the corpse, and they looked at the corpse, and they suddenly fell silent for some reason, and after a while, a large flag that had been cut off also fell, and the Yue character on it was stained with blood.

The Ning army broke the city.

The horse road down from the city wall was full of corpses, Daning's soldiers were still crushing forward, and the Vietnamese army was fighting and retreating, and more than one person would fall at every step.

A huge shield flew in, knocking down four or five Vietnamese soldiers, and before the people behind had time to help their comrades up, the strong man in iron armor strode up, and the iron rod with thick calves was picked up, and the head could explode directly if it was hit, and the last courage of the Vietnamese army was smashed to pieces.

It is much easier to kill from the city wall than to climb the city wall, the five-person team is a meat grinder, it looks like a chaotic fight, but every place is a five-person cooperation, and each five-person team will tacitly cooperate with the five-person team around them, which is a way of playing that has been deeply rooted in the bones of every Daning soldier.

Fight from the walls to the bottom of the city, and then to every street.

From noon to sunset, and then to sunrise.

The next morning, light fell on the earth again, and the wind of the night could not blow away the smell of blood, and there were corpses everywhere.

The Ning army was already clearing the battlefield, and there were Daning soldiers searching in groups on every street, and the resistance of the Vietnamese army lasted for half a day and one night and failed, and those who were killed in the case of four times the strength of the Daning soldiers had no power to fight back.

At this moment, the county government.

This is the last place where the Vietnamese army held out, hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers who lost contact with others protected Luan Qianqi and stayed here, overnight, they from the initial more than 2,000 people to the current three or four hundred, stayed up until the sun rose, but could not survive the victory.

Shen Leng sat there and watched the blood flowing on the street, without speaking, nor did he have any feelings, this was just an ordinary fight, this is a very ordinary thing for soldiers, even if it is the end of the war, the soldiers don't have much time to feel anything, they don't have that mood.

Those who tell the story of the tragedy of war are often literati who have not experienced the tragedy of war.

"Shen Leng!"

There was a roar from inside the gate of the county ya, and Luan Qianqi, who was covered in blood and carrying a knife, strode out from inside, stood at the gate of the county ya, looked at Shen Leng on the opposite side and shouted loudly: "If I am willing to end it myself, can you let my brothers go?!" ”

Shen Leng looked at him and shook his head: "No." ”

Luan Qianqi suddenly laughed, his eyes were blood-red, and he pointed with a knife: "Let them live, it's just your words, no one will pursue it, you are a general, you have this ability!" As long as you promise me, I'll cut myself off now! ”

Shen Leng stood up and walked not far from Luan Qianqi.

"You must not have said it when you took them to raise the flag, one day if we are defeated, I will go out by myself and ask the soldiers of Daning if they can kill me and let you go."

Shen Leng looked at Luan Qianqi's eyes and said, "To Daning you are a traitor, to your subordinates you are a hero, die like a hero, let them watch." ”

Luan Qianqi raised his head to the sky and roared, swinging his knife at Shen Leng.

With a thud, his knife fell to the ground and the body fell.

Shen Leng turned around, and the blood on the black line knife dripped down.
