"Ono-kun, it is said that the naval army has been defeated!" A man on horseback reined in his mount and said impatiently.

Standing outside the camp and fighting, the faces of Ono Haogu and Yang Gon both changed. The man turned over from his horse, dismounted, and stepped forward.

Ono Yoshiko's gaze retracted from the tall cloud ladder and the white smoke-filled battlefield in the distance, turned his head, and asked with a blue face, "When did it happen?" ”

The visitor bowed and said, "Three days ago." China's navy gathered more than 1,000 warships to intercept and meet Xu Guo's naval division near the Xiaguan waterway, and lost the decisive battle, suffering heavy casualties, and half of the warships sank, damaged, or disappeared......"

Ono Yoshiko and Yang Gon looked at each other and were speechless.

"It's unlikely...... Yang Gon said stunned.

Ono Haogu's head was "buzzing", and he suddenly raised his head and yelled "Wow......". The officers and soldiers of the Yue Army, who did not know the situation from afar, looked sideways and looked at the coach in amazement.

This is not just a shame of defeat!

At this time, Ono Yoshiko felt that the most painful thing in the world was not to lose the battle, but to find it meaningless after paying a heavy price...... How many days and nights have you besieged this damned earthen fort! How much effort, effort and blood was expended, and it was entirely the consumption of the enemy's ammunition and military supplies with human lives; Now that all the work has been lost, what have you gained? Could it be that a human life is only worth a few small lead pills?

After roaring, his mouth was wide open, and after a long time, he suddenly stood up straight, and his expression seemed to have regained his composure. Yang Gon looked at him in surprise.

Ono Haogu said coldly: "You must not give up!" Tonight, the main forces gathered in the north, taking turns to storm this fort at any cost, killing all the living creatures and breaking them into pieces! ”

Yang Gon thought he was crazy, and he thought to himself that it would be useless to do so...... Win or lose. Even if the fortress is really breached, hundreds of troops will be killed, reinforcements have arrived, and the sea has lost ground, and in the end, it will not prevent the Xu army from reoccupying this place.

But Yang Gon didn't admonish, he felt that Ono Haogu was crazy, and it was useless to say more.

In the evening, under the orders of Ono Yoshiko, the army laid out a new battle formation.

…… Zhang Jiankui and others on the city wall also discovered the movement of the army, and a large number of tall ladders gathered in the north, and a large number of people and horses gathered on a battlefield!

Everyone still doesn't know the situation at sea, at this time, Iwami Fort is running out of ammunition and food, Zhang Jiankui and others guess that the army is the time to launch the final blow tonight!

Zhang Jiankui said to Zan Jurun next to him: "There are no artillery ammunition, fierce fire oil, tung oil, and arrows left, and there is no way to destroy those ladders anymore." Now there is not much left of the ** for guns and guns, and our department is really exhausted, and the loss of this fort has not failed the emperor's grace. ”

Zan Jurun disregarded decency at this time, and whispered: "Failure is a failure!" It's a pity, I hope that in the next life, I can still have a better background, and I will have the grace of the emperor in this world, and I will be glorious and rich......"

Zhang Jiankui understood what Zan Jurun meant: I really don't want to die!

As soon as the sun went down and the light between the heavens and the earth was still dim, the army could not wait to push the ladder, and the crowd surged towards the fortress, and a large number of bonfires and torches were lit before it was dark...... At this time, there was nothing Xu Jun could do to stop them from approaching within a hundred steps of Iwami Castle.

Tonight is the last night, and no one believes they will make it until tomorrow morning!

Even the ammunition of the arquebus gun could not be fired for a few rounds, and without long-range firearms, it was impossible for such a low earthen fort with hundreds of people to withstand the attack of dozens of times the enemy.

"I promise a forbidden army, and the best one is a battle formation, not a single fight." Zhang Jiankui made a temporary decision, "Send a message to all departments, abandon the fortifications, and go to the north gate to line up, and the general will open the city gate with the army tonight to fight to the death!" ”

After the order was given, the "General's Order" was played in the castle, and the heralds passed the withering order of the military branch in all directions, and the various departments gathered from the wall and the barracks to the castle one after another.

Some of the soldiers carried their things into the healing barracks, which was full of moaning wounded soldiers. The soldiers walked in and put short knives on the pillows of the wounded soldiers. A military general said loudly: "Commander Zhang said that after the city is broken, those who want to end the pain will cut it off on their own!" Those who want to survive do not force it. Where to go, wait for yourself! ”

Someone scolded weakly: "Mother, the brothers have killed so many soldiers, can they be let go?" ”

Some people in the barracks sighed, and some people talked to each other, "This farewell, goodbye in the next life." "When you are a soldier and eat food, there will always be this day, it's not a big deal." "Naturally, you can't surrender, Zhang Qian didn't become a Hun in the grassland for decades, it's better to live in the Great Xu Dynasty in this world......"

The generals who came in to hand out weapons clenched their fists a little choked up and said, "Everyone, farewell!" ”

In the Chinese Military Administration, everyone is gone, and only Zan Jurun remains. Zan Jurun took out the good tea leaves that he had been reluctant to drink, and waited for the water on the stove to boil. After a while, he took out a small bottle from his bosom and placed it on the table, and reached out to straighten the official hat on his head. When he was young, he studied hard countless days and nights, and he ate a lot of bitterness, but he really hadn't tasted the bitterness of skin and flesh at all, and he didn't want to taste it.

A hissing shout rang out outside: "Open...... City...... Door! ”

The gate of "Ga ......" was pushed open by several people, and the dust on it fell, and it was like an ancient tomb, and the gate seemed to have never been opened.

Behind the city gate, hundreds of stubborn soldiers marched neatly towards the city gate.

The fire outside the city gate was bright, shining on Xu Jun's armor. Seeing that the city gate was open, countless enemy soldiers saved themselves from climbing the earthen wall, and they quickly gathered on the side of the city gate. The surging torches are like fire dragons.

"Ahh A strange cry came from the ...... on board, and the army rushed over, and in the firelight, the crowd seemed to be like a tide.

"Crackling......" A row of flashes of light exploded at the city gate, and soon there were two more volleys. The tide receded......

Zhang Jiankui looked up at the city wall left and right, thinking that the army suffered a loss at the city gate once, and would climb the ladder to come down from the city wall. And now there is no ammunition left enough for another salvo.

He immediately ordered: "Change the sword and shield!" Throw the muskets! ”

Some of his own soldiers went up one after another, picked up the firearms that had been thrown out of the army, and threw them at a bonfire in the city.

In a few moments, a second group of enemy troops had already swarmed up, and shouts filled the night sky again. Zhang Jiankui shouted: "Ready...... Stand and die, live up to the prestige of the Tiger Army! ”

"Drink!" The armies shouted in unison.

"Bang bang...... Whoosh......" locust-like arrows slammed into the shields and armor like hailstones, and sometimes someone was hurt and snorted.

In a few moments, a frantic crowd rushed to the front! There was a sound of ping-pong banging, and the two armies were in close combat, and it suddenly seemed to explode.

Most of the commanders of Xu Jundongdao were born in the old forbidden army, and they were themselves infantry melee men, and at this time, they fought with the Yue army in a dense formation. People widened their eyes, carrying a single knife and slashing indiscriminately, shoulder to shoulder, no tricks at all, only strength!

"Ahh A sergeant covered his face with his hands and screamed loudly, but he was violently lifted by the person behind him, and one staggered up, and his chest was immediately pierced by Xu Jun's single knife! The sergeant behind him also pounced and knocked Sergeant Xu to the ground at once. Sergeant Xu couldn't pull out his knife, and stared at a sharp arc-shaped long knife facing him, and he stretched out his hands to grab the blade! The blood immediately flowed down the surface of the knife, and the tip of the knife was slightly off-direction, and it stabbed on the breastplate with a "nail", and the sergeant pierced the tip of the knife through the plate armor with the help of the weight of his whole body! But suddenly, the cool hat on his head "snapped" and turned into two petals, and the guy screamed miserably, and fell down with blood all over his head.

Sergeant Xu's plate armor was pierced, but it blocked the strength and pierced deeply, and he struggled to get up from the ground, his hands covered in blood. The helmet also fell off, and the blood stains on his face were not his.

He had a knife stuck in his chest, and he stood there in pain, staring, the blades around him were waving in the firelight, everyone was fighting and slashing like crazy, and the people were screaming in fear and making the loudest noise, and this place was like a Shura field.

Sergeant Xu's hands were only sore and numb, and he couldn't hold anything anymore. The back was full of dense armor, and the enemy soldiers in front rushed up with their mouths wide open! He was at a loss for a moment.

"Ahh Ah......h The few sergeants in front of him were so frightened that they took a few steps back! It's so damn scary, a big man with a cloak and a face full of blood pounced up, his hands were also dripping blood, his mouth was wide open, and saliva and blood flowed out along his teeth together!

If it weren't for the battle formations surrounded by people, if you saw such a person in the middle of the night, you would have to be scared to death!

"Nail!" A sergeant stabbed him with a spear, and the wooden pole was bent, but he didn't stab it! "Bang!" With a bang, sparks lit up, and a samurai sword slashed into the soldier's shoulder armor...... The shoulder armor was also plate armor, and the blades were all broken, and the cloaked soldier still stood there in pain and did not die!

Finally, there was a "click" like a shattering sound of a solid object, and a knife slashed down at his head, and the soldier immediately fell forward heavily.

"Boom!" With a terrifying sound, a flickering blade swept through the door of a sergeant's face, and the soldier's face, from the cheeks, the corners of his mouth, to the other side of his face, was torn open, and blood flowed everywhere. He let out a scream of horror from his throat, his jaw could no longer be closed, and his voice was very strange, not at all like a human voice......

In the narrow place where the city gate was close to each other, the corpses quickly piled up! Blood and water mixed with the dirt between the corpses, and the men and horses seemed to wade in pain in the mud, and it seemed as if they were struggling in the darkness of hell.
