Text Chapter 224 Fierce Battle Ten
For the destruction of the baggage of the outer camp, Gao Shang is also helpless, his own strength is weaker than the Yuan army, it is impossible to protect all the baggage, fortunately, there are still a large number of materials in the Chinese army camp, as long as he insists on the defense is not broken, the longer the Yuan cavalry drags on here, the greater the chance of Ji Xiancheng winning.
In order to prevent the enemy from charging the camp, Gao Shang also buried a large number of low wooden stakes on the outside of the earthen wall, the wooden stakes were at least two feet into the soil, and the head of the wooden stakes exposed on the ground was about one foot, and there were ropes connected between the wooden stakes.
Because of the darkness of the night, dozens of cavalry soldiers were knocked down, and they were only wounded or killed on the front line where the two armies clashed. As for the entrances of several passages, Fang Xue and Gao Shang set up the bed as a huge fan here, and the arrows as thick as a small arm were fired together, and they immediately shot out the Yuan cavalry that charged in or the Yuan army foot soldiers who were removing obstacles on the ground! Even if the Yuan Cavalry has willow leaf armor or scale armor, it can't stop the terrifying lethality of the arrow.
The crossbow arrows on the platform did not show weakness, and they fired one after another while the charging Yuan Cavalry could not dodge.
The Yuan cavalry also used color, a large number of projectiles and flat fires also brought considerable casualties to the battalion, and the noble and urgent order to erect a lot of planks in front of the camp greatly reduced the casualties. The soldiers who fought with the Yuan cavalry on the earthen wall were obviously inferior to their opponents in martial arts and cooperation, although they were brave, but they fell behind, but fortunately, they were able to hold on to the location. Compared with the casualties of the two, in the end, the Yuan army had more.
The two sides fought hard outside the earthen wall, and the sky gradually brightened!
In the city, Wan Jinhai vigorously patted Baotou on the shoulder: "Brother, my brother owes you a life!" This love brother wrote it down first! "Turning back and letting a few guards hold Baotou down to wrap up the wounds for treatment, the Yuan army on the opposite side is already crazy and rushed over with a scream, and the defending soldiers started a fight, this is the last retreat of the Yuan army, the Yuan army each hundred households and brand heads have rushed to the front, ten thousand are dead guards, although the soldiers on the front line are only nearly a hundred, but the speed of each other's deaths and injuries is very fast, and after a while the corpses will accumulate all over the streets, and then layer by layer began to accumulate. Hot blood flowed down the street to the low-lying places, and soon there were large and small puddles of blood.
Sun Xing led more than a dozen subordinates to rush and kill on the street, and he had already seen Xie Lin standing beside Yanqilou in front of him. In the melee, Sun Xing only felt that there were enemies in front and back, left and right, Sun Xing had been fighting for a long time, and his body was inevitably a little weak, and in the slightly clear morning light, there were panicked and crazy faces of the enemy in front of him.
If you can observe from a high altitude, this street that runs through the north and south of the county town is already full of soldiers of the two armies, and there are still countless soldiers on both sides of the street fighting in many alleys on both sides of the street, and the generals of each other have difficulty controlling the battlefield, and the battle situation is becoming more and more chaotic. The Shuntian military hostages captured by the Yuan army were either killed by the Yuan army in the melee or abandoned in the middle of nowhere.
The generals of the Yuan army understood that they had to recapture the city gate in order to escape, and even if the Yidu army came quickly, it was possible to turn defeat into victory.
Because this is already the place of the decisive battle in the city, Guo Fengrong also rushed over from the north gate of the city with a soldier to support. The field on the street was narrow, and he led people to the alley to fight with the oncoming Yuan army.
Sun Xing finally killed Xie Lin, a leader howled and pounced from behind to sneak attack, Sun Xing stabbed backhand, blocked the opponent, and kicked him in the lower abdomen, the man was so painful that he lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a while. Sun Xing reflexively ran towards Xie Lin again, and several enemy soldiers stepped forward to block.
Xie Lin was pleasantly surprised, and after he was captured, he was dragged around by the Yuan army. As an important bargaining chip for Shangfeng to invite merit, if it weren't for Yan Qilou's focus on Xie Lin's care, he would not have died under the knife of the Yuan army, and he had always been in the rear of the battle in the melee, but he was not injured in the melee.
Seeing that the Yuan army that entered the city had reached the last moment, and each other was killed, and the big hand holding his shoulder was obviously trembling and nervous, Xie Lin was more and more worried that these Yuan troops were likely to kill themselves first in the end to vent their anger. He didn't dare to shout, for fear of arousing the anger and attention of the generals around him, so he had to endure the desire for help and watch the fighting around him.
Because of his position, Sun Xing often listened to the discussions between Xie Lin and Yu Zhilong by Zhilong's side, and knew more about Xie Lin than others.
Sun Xing did not have a good impression of the Yuan Court, but Xie Lin was more pragmatic, although he had corruption with the crowd, he had not done too much harmful. And from the mouths of Ming Shijie, Ming Xiong, etc., we learned that Xie Lin was quite sympathetic to the local people and lower-level subordinate officials, and that he had done quite a good job in reducing taxes and reducing taxes, distributing relief, and calling on large households to raise grain during the famine year, and the people praised him a lot, and later Xie Lin made significant contributions to the logistics of the Jing'an Army, the division of nuclear acres and fields, and the governance and restoration of Linqu County, and it was precisely because of Xie Lin's vigorous cooperation that the Shuntian Army was able to gain a foothold relatively smoothly. Sun Xing gradually developed a good impression of him.
Sun Xing knew that Yu Zhilong attached great importance to Xie Lin, so he tried his best to rescue Xie Lin in the chaos. Now that they are all within reach, Sun Xing and the others will naturally do their best.
Yan Qilou saw that the other party was menacing and difficult to resist, so he had to meet him with a knife. Huang Pi followed Yan Qilou as a subordinate, he was already a street ruffian, his own martial arts skills were low, Sun Xing took the time to cut him twice, and pulled a bloody cut on his neck, thanks to his flexible body, flashing fast, otherwise he would be killed on the spot!
This knife was so frightened that the yellow skin hair stood on end, and he no longer dared to join the battle group easily, holding the knife next to Xie Lin's neck, and the two small eyes were purring, and he didn't know what to think.
Unconsciously, the dark night gradually faded, a ray of morning light rose to the sky, Ji Xiancheng and Mingxiong and others had been alerted, Yidu's reinforcements were about to arrive, and the war inside and outside the city had reached a critical moment. As a result, both sides of the enemy and the enemy intensified the final battle, and almost all their forces were put into the battle.
Sun Xing finally hacked a pawn to death with an injury, and his left shoulder was also stabbed, the wound entered the bone, and the blood gushed like a spring, but several pawns around Xie Lin were killed or scattered, and Huangpi originally wanted to resist, but seeing Sun Xing's momentum like a mad tiger, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward, he raised his knife to slash, but before he could exert his strength, Sun Xing roared, and cut his weapon away with a knife, and Huangpi rolled to the side. Yanqilou was entangled by several soldiers of the Jing'an Army and was not allowed to come to support.
Sun Xing gasped and dragged Xie Lin to the side, leaning his back against the courtyard wall, before he went to untie Xie Lin's rope lock. Several Jing'an soldiers were on the periphery to defend it.
As soon as Xie Lin was untied, he quickly took out the cloth ball in his mouth, took a few breaths, and said gratefully to Sun Xing: "Thank you Captain Sun for sacrificing his life to save him, Xie Mou's powder is difficult to repay in case!" ”
"Needless to say, it's not safe here, we—" Sun Xing didn't finish speaking, and as soon as he threw down the untied rope, his body shook violently, and he couldn't say any more.
Xie Lin saw that Sun Xing's face was strange, and looked down at Sun Xing's gaze, only to find that Sun Xing's chest actually revealed a crossbow arrow, and the black and shiny top was dripping with red blood droplets downward!
Xie Lin was shocked: "This, how is this good?" Holding Sun Xing's crumbling body, he looked at the center of the street, and saw that a pawn on the opposite side was dropping a crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow arrow in Sun Xing's was that he cast a dark arrow behind his back.
"Your Excellency!" Several soldiers of the Jing'an Army were red-eyed, and they shook off their opponents like crazy, and wanted to rush over and kill this sneak attacker.
Yan Qilou was also shocked, now he has painstakingly designed, almost all the thief hostages captured have been abandoned in the rear by the Yuan army, only Xie Lin, a civilian official, is the most important prisoner at hand, whether it is rushing out to ask for merit and reward, or if he is trapped in the end, he will exchange it as a bargaining chip for his life, it is an indispensable straw. This subordinate didn't know what to do, and if he shot a crossbow arrow at Sun Xing at such a close distance, it was very likely that the crossbow arrow would pierce the body and shoot Xie Lin to death together.
"Huangpi, you did a good thing!" Yan Qilou was furious, "If Xie Lin dies, will you be able to bear it?" "This crossbow shooter is the Yellow Skin!
Huangpi almost died under Sun Xing's hands, and he hated Sun Xing to the core, he knew that his skills were not as good as others, and he didn't have the courage to fight for his life, so after losing Xie Lin, he kept shrinking aside and thinking about it. Seeing a crossbow on the corpse of a pawn on the ground, his eyes lit up, seeing that everyone was not paying attention, he crawled over to check and pick it up, and then found the last crossbow arrow on the corpse, as for the crossbow slot, he pulled the bowstring, and while Sun Xing was turning his back to him, he pressed down the machine spring, and the crossbow arrow penetrated his body like a meteor.
"Captain Sun!" A sad and angry roar came, but it was Ming Shijie who had already killed, just in time to see Sun Xingzhong's crossbow fall softly in Xie Lin's arms.
The two of them are of the same age, since they met, they are like-minded, Sun Xing sacrificed his life in battle, has a heroic spirit, shines in the battle to seize the city gate, Ming Shijie admires it very much, the two are inseparable in these days, but today I saw the death of my best friend!
"Huangpi, I killed you!" In the morning light, Ming Shijie saw the yellow face clearly, the two of them were from the city, and they knew each other in the quarry, but they didn't have a good temperament and had no relationship.
"My lord, help me!" Huang Pi saw several opponents and Ming Shijie pounce viciously, and was so shocked that Huang Pi used his hands and feet together, and crawled towards Yanqi Tower, and he didn't care about Yan Qilou's harsh reprimand for him just now.
Yan Qilou was helpless, seized the opportunity to step forward, and took advantage of Xie Lin's trance, grabbed Xie Lin again, pushed him in front of him, resisted him with a knife, and said loudly: "Wait, stop!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will cut this person first! ”
However, Ming Shijie didn't pay attention to it at all, just waved his knife and took the yellow skin directly, just a few steps away, the yellow skin rolled around on the ground to dodge, and he didn't have a chance to stand up, and he couldn't rush to Yanqilou's side.
Xie Lin was held again in a trance, dragged aside by Yan Qilou, and had to put down Sun Xing's body, Sun Xing was already foaming blood in his mouth, falling softly to the ground, unable to speak, just barely raised his arm, pointed at Xie Lin obliquely, and gestured with his eyes.
After a while, he finally lost his strength, and Sun Xing's arm fell back to the ground.
At this point in the war, this is the first general lost by Yu Zhilong since the incident!
