Chapter 521: The Past and the Past
Cai Cong said irritablely, Da Niu shrunk his neck and whispered: "These are all recruits, I'm afraid they won't be able to protect you." ”
"Get out, Ben Hou is a martial artist with advanced military merits, and now I should let the world know that I don't just rely on lip service, and my majesty is to be played." Cai Cong said that he picked up the whip and was about to whip the big cow, but the big cow hurriedly turned the horse's head in fright.
And the people of Wuling City no longer have any hope for reinforcements, the corpses under the city wall are piled up higher than people, the cloud ladder is directly erected on the pile of dead people, and the stiff corpses are smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, but who cares about these at this time?
There are less than 2,000 people left in the whole city, and what arrows are still made by the craftsmen in the workshop? After lighting the granary, they went up to the castle tower to defend the city, and they had no hope of living, but even if they died, they would not leave the food and grass to the pirates.
Soon the east city was lost, then the south city, and then the west city was lost one after another, and the soldiers defending the city continued to retreat, holding the north gate to the death.
"Hey, General Tangren, our King Dawen said, don't make senseless resistance anymore, you won't have reinforcements, the king said, as long as you surrender, spare you from dying."
Some of Songwen's subordinates shouted loudly, as for the only ones who could survive after the surrender, only those craftsmen would survive, and the others would have to be broken into pieces.
"Put your mother's bullshit, if Lao Tzu is afraid of death, what soldiers will he bring, what kind of battle?" Chen Shoujiang scolded loudly and took the opportunity to draw the bow and shoot arrows, and the two deep knife wounds on his shoulders made his painful face twitch, and the bow and arrow also lost its accuracy, and flew out grazing the hats of Songwen's subordinates.
"The general is not afraid of death, but he also has to think about his subordinates, who would want to die if he can live?"
After Songwen's subordinates dodged the arrows in a panic, he said triumphantly that it is human nature to be greedy for life and fear death, and he didn't believe that all of these people were not afraid of life and death.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow was inserted into his throat, and an old man with two eyes slowly withdrew the crossbow arrow in his hand and said proudly: "I swear to live and die with Wu Ling, and the ignorant thief dares to underestimate my generation?" ”
As soon as his words fell, dozens of arrows were fired at him, and before he could even raise his shield, he was killed by the arrows. Not everyone knows that Songwen and Galman want to rob the craftsman the most, and not everyone knows that the old man who was shot is a master of the craftsman's workshop.
But all the people who defended the city knew that when Wu Ling evacuated the women and children, the two old men who stayed behind were killed in battle, one died of exhaustion, and the other died of an arrow in his body, and grief and indignation filled everyone's hearts.
I don't know who shouted
"Kill!"
The two thousand remnants of the soldiers let out a terrible roar and slaughtered the pirates like demons returning from hell, and the war was like a huge millstone twisting the living into lumps of flesh and blood.
When death was no longer fearful, people became invincible, and the enemies who were killed by less than 2,000 people were defeated one after another, and some people were so frightened that they jumped directly from the city wall.
But courage is never the first condition for victory, Chen Shou took the lead and killed more than a dozen people in a row several times, and finally fell into a heavy siege and was hacked to death with a knife, and even the body was cruelly thrown off the city wall by pirates with a dozen spears.
General Chen Shou is the Dinghai Divine Needle up and down Wu Ling, and the remaining soldiers are even more crazy as soon as he dies, less than 500 people died in just one hour, and they killed more than 2,000 people.
"The generals are all dead, what are we soldiers afraid of? If you die today, you can save a heroic name, and when future generations talk about your ancestors, you can also say that my ancestors were loyal to the country, and 6,000 people defended Wu Ling, and they resisted 100,000 thieves for a day and a night, and they died loyally, and they were extremely heroic. ”
One of the surviving scholars said freely, isn't life just a name in front of and behind him? His fame was not obvious in front of him, and after his death this time, he would definitely sing the world with Wu Ling, and he could be regarded as a well-deserved death.
Mr. Xiucai's words are different, and I suddenly stopped panicking when I heard this. My baby will be proud of me in the future, I counted, I killed seven people last night, I killed four today, and now I want to replace him with a few more while I still have the strength. ”
A peasant man in his twenties said honestly that he was either a soldier, or he would hunt to supplement his family in his spare time, so his archery skills were not bad.
"Brother go first, so-and-so will take a few more glances at this bloody sunset, and then accompany you on the road." The scholar slashed a pirate to death, looked up at the blood-red sunset, the sunset was dusk, and the sunset was slowly sinking.
The peasant man stabbed the pirate in the heart, and himself was pierced through the chest with two spears, he opened his mouth to show his blood-stained teeth, smiled triumphantly, pulled a dagger from his waist and plunged it into the pirate's heart, jumped down and hugged the other pirate, and bit his throat, and blood splattered out......
The scholar slashed the knife into the pirate's shoulder, the knife was stuck in the bone, the pirate hugged his hand with a frenzied face, and the other pirates took the opportunity to rush up, the scholar's face was calm, and the disdainful ones glanced at the pirates, and pulled the knife hard and pulled the pirate to his side, the sharp Mo knife cut his throat from left to right with inertia, and the tip of the knife cut the pirate's throat.
He clung to the battlements to keep himself from falling, and a scholar would die more heroically than a butcher.
"Hahaha...... What are you afraid of life and death, follow the two brothers on the road! The rest of the people held up the Mo knife full of gaps and laughed and said, the city has been broken, and to say that defending the city is to deceive themselves, rather than so it is better to die in a vigorous battle.
It was a very tragic suicidal charge, in the narrow walls they abandoned all their defenses, one stab was returned, one shot was replaced, and the swords were fought with all their might, just hoping to pull an extra cushion before they ran out of strength.
……
When the stars shone brightly, the last soldier defending the city fell to his knees and shed tears of humiliation. His sword was snatched, his strength was exhausted, and after being beaten in turn, he was put into a humiliating prostration, but he did not even have the strength to stand up.
Songwen stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at that humiliated and desperate face, he had an indescribable sense of morbid satisfaction, maybe it was the humiliation when he was driven out of Chang'an, which made him have this perverted psychology.
So he didn't take people into the city to carry gold and silver treasures like Garman, which seemed to him to be the work of the inferior, who only had to stand on a high place and look down on the inferior.
"Ah...... Ho ......"
The soldier let out a desperate roar, he wanted to get up or fall, but the veins of his hands and feet were broken, and both knees were nailed to the ground by the pirate with crossbow arrows, but he didn't say a word of begging for mercy, except for roaring and looking at Songwen with hateful eyes.
"This king heard that you Tang people want to buy my head, and paid a high price of 10,000 taels of gold, and now this king is here, but you kneel down and salute me, it's really ridiculous haha......"
