Chapter 192: Unable to Resist
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
With the cavalry of the Chung Ling army entering the city, there was basically no suspense in the next battle. The cavalry, led by Ma Wu and Choshi, drove straight into the city and fought from the west to the east city, which was equivalent to directly penetrating Huyang City.
The defenders of the eastern city also wanted to resist the cavalry killed in the city. But Ma Wu took the lead, rode down the steps of the city wall, and rushed up directly. When Ma Wu immediately stood on the top of the city with a horizontal sword, the Chungling army outside the city was suddenly boiling. On this side of the siege is Deng Yu's one, originally most of the soldiers were new soldiers, and the will to fight was not firm, but you can see the horses that killed the city
Wu, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they climbed the ladder to the top of the city like crazy.
The officers and soldiers stationed in Dongcheng could no longer resist it, and when there were enemies inside and outside, the officers and men had no way to escape but to disarm and surrender.
The successive losses of the West City and the East City also dealt a heavy blow to the South City, which had the largest number of troops.
The county soldiers guarding Nancheng had to fight hard to resist the Chungling army outside the city, and on the other hand, they had to be distracted to check the situation inside the city, and they couldn't concentrate on fighting at all, and the situation in Nancheng became precarious for a while.
Fortunately, Huyang's county commander Lian Feng and county lieutenant Guo Deng are both here in Nancheng, and the two can still play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army to a large extent.
It's just that when a large number of Chungling troops came from inside the city, the county soldiers at the head of the city were completely confused.
Some people stood stupidly at the head of the city, looking at the enemy troops from the city, stunned, while others ran down the city in panic, not knowing whether they were going to fight or flee for their lives.
Guo Deng carried his sword and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Don't mess up! Don't mess around! But no one listened to him at all, and the county soldiers at the head of the city scattered and fled, crowding and pushing each other, and it had become a pot of porridge.
This scene made Guo Deng's eyes red, and he roared angrily, swinging his sword and slashing a soldier who fled from his side to the ground.
Seeing this, the nearby county soldiers were startled, and people looked at Guo Deng blankly, forgetting to run for a while.
Guo Deng shouted: "Those who escape from the battle, there is no mercy!" Don't run! No one is allowed to run! He carried a bloodied sword, and his bloodshot eyes glared viciously at the people around him.
The county soldiers around him were indeed deterred by Guo Deng, but with such a long southern city wall, Guo Deng was alone, how could he deter all the county soldiers? In other places, a large number of county soldiers ran down the city wall and surrendered to the Chung Ling army. Seeing that the number of soldiers in the city was getting smaller and smaller, from three thousand to two thousand, and from two thousand to less than one thousand, Lian Feng realized that the general trend had gone.
He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, as the so-called doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven, he had really tried his best, but he still failed to hold Huyang despite his best efforts, and he had no choice.
Lian Feng seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden, he staggered to Guo Deng, grabbed his sword-holding arm, and said: "Gongxiao, our army has lost this battle, there is no need to fight anymore!" ”
Guo Deng looked at Lian Feng in disbelief, and said urgently: "Lian County Order, our army has not lost yet, and our brothers can fight again!" ”
He was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, from Baisongmen, he worked hard to achieve the position of Huyang County Lieutenant, and now he wants him to surrender, let him waste most of his life's efforts and hard work, how can he be willing?
"Fight again?" Lian Feng almost laughed, he glanced around, and his own soldiers were left with these four or five hundred people around, but in other places, inside and outside the city were all Chungling troops, black pressing, dense turns, and they couldn't be counted.
"Gongxiao, forget it, since you have been defeated, let's leave a way for the brothers to live!" As he spoke, Lian Feng looked around and said weakly: "Everyone put down their weapons and turn against Chungling...... Surrender to the Chung Ling Army! ”
Lian Feng is different from Guo Deng, he is a scholar, a Confucian scholar, and he has such a compassionate temperament in his bones.
He knows very well in his heart that if he surrenders now, others may be able to live, but he and Guo Deng will definitely not get better, and the biggest possibility is that they will be sentenced to death by the rebels.
But it is better to kill only the two of them than to let so many county soldiers and brothers die with them. Horizontal and vertical have to die, and it is one person who can save one more person.
Hearing Lian Feng's words, the surrounding officers and soldiers lowered their heads one after another, and one of the soldiers slowly squatted down and gently put the spear in his hand on the ground. Before he could stand up, Guo Deng's sword had already slashed into his neck. Click! With a crisp sound, the soldier who lowered his spear shortened his neck and fell to the ground with his head rolled to the ground. Guo Deng suddenly killed Lian Feng, his eyes widened, he looked at Guo Deng dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "Gongxiao, you."
This is? ”
Guo Deng stared at the blood-red eyes, looked around viciously at the people around him, and gritted his teeth and said, "No one is allowed to put down their weapons!" No one is allowed to surrender to the thief! ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lian Feng and said, "Lian County Order, how can you and I, as officials of the imperial court, surrender to the thieves?" Now at the critical moment of Huyang's life and death, we should fight the anti-thieves to the end! ”
Lian Feng shook his head and said, "If we continue to fight, it will only increase casualties." Gongxiao, we have lost this battle! As he spoke, he shook his head at Goden and walked towards the steps of the city wall.
The soldiers standing in front of him retreated to either side, dodging a passageway. Lian Feng also walked five or six steps away, and suddenly heard a pop, his body suddenly stiffened, and the officers and soldiers around him also opened their mouths unconsciously.
Lian Feng slowly lowered his head, only to see a bloody tip of the sword poking out of his chest, he turned his head and stood behind him, the person holding the hilt of the sword was Guo Deng.
Sand! Guo Deng pulled the saber out of Lian Feng's body, and the latter couldn't stand and fell to the ground, and his body only twitched a few times before he stopped moving.
Guo Deng didn't even look at the corpses on the ground, and shouted at the surrounding county soldiers: "No matter who it is, those who flee from the battle and surrender to the enemy will be killed!" ”
The surrounding county soldiers looked at Lian Feng's corpse, and then looked at Guo Deng, who had fallen into a state of madness, and people grinned secretly, not even daring to breathe.
Guo Deng gasped and shouted: "Pick up your weapons and kill the enemy with me!" As he spoke, he took his sword and rushed towards the Lingling army that had attacked the city.
The county soldiers present could see that Guo Deng had lost his mind at this time and was completely insane, and it was estimated that he would not survive in the end if he followed such a madman to fight.
The county soldiers, who were far away from Guo Deng, quietly put down the weapons in their hands, and then saw the opportunity, turned around and ran.
There were still four or five hundred county soldiers left just now, and in just a few moments, there were only about 100 left.
Guo Deng, who was rushing towards the Chungling Army, heard that the movement behind him was wrong, he looked back and saw those county soldiers who had fled in the wilderness, and his nose was almost crooked.
He was about to turn back to chase those deserters, when someone suddenly shouted loudly under the city: "Guo Deng, Huyang City has been broken, you have no way out, how long will you have to resist stubbornly?" ”
The words from under the city shook Guo Deng's body, and he stopped, walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked down at the city.
I saw that inside the city wall, there were both cavalry and infantry of the Lingling army, and in the crowd, there was a young man standing with his hands in his hands, looking up at him with a smile.
Guo Deng took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”
"Liu Xiu!"
Hearing the word Liu Xiu, Guo Deng's eyes turned even redder. I did a good job as a county lieutenant in Huyang, if it wasn't for the Chungling Army, if it wasn't for Liu Xiu, why would I have ended up in this field?
He didn't think about it, and as soon as he raised his hand suddenly, he heard two swishing sounds, and two sleeve arrows flew out of his cuffs, directly hitting Liu Xiu in the crowd. Guo Deng and Liu Xiu, one is in the city and the other is under the city, the distance between them is not far, but it is not very close, seeing the other party's two sleeve arrows shooting towards him, Liu Xiu did not panic, and he didn't need to block it, and the side fell down
With a knife, the two sleeve arrows that flew in front of Liu Xiu fell to the ground together.
Gaiyan's knife.
Seeing that Guo Deng was dying, and he also cast a hidden weapon on Liu Xiu, Ma Wu was furious and shouted: "Kill-"
With his shouting, the surrounding cavalry picked up their crossbow machines and launched a salvo at Guo Deng at the head of the city. Guo Deng reacted quickly, hurriedly shrank his head down, and quickly retreated to the city wall, but the county soldiers standing next to him were unlucky, and the sound of arrows was endless, and in an instant, more than a dozen county soldiers fell to the ground or fell to the ground with arrows, or planted down the city wall
。
As soon as the cavalry in the city released their arrows, the soldiers of the Chung Ling army who attacked the head of the city immediately launched an attack on Guo Deng.
The more than 100 county soldiers who were with Guo Deng, looking at the Chungling army that was constantly approaching from both sides, people had no fighting spirit, and they threw away their weapons one after another, hugging their heads and running away. Guo Deng roared angrily, and rushed towards the Lingling army attacking on the left hand side with his sword. Guo Deng's skills are not weak, even if he can't reach the level of a swordsman, but it's not far behind, but the current situation just confirms that 'two fists are hard to beat four hands, good tiger.'
I can't stand the words 'wolf'.
Entering the crowd of the Chungling army, Guo Deng killed more than a dozen soldiers, but he was also hit by several swords and was cut three or four bloody wounds.
Feeling that there were too many enemy troops on this side and couldn't kill them all, Guo Deng broke out of the crowd and rushed towards the Chung Ling army on the right.
But the situation is the same here, he cut down one person, and immediately two people rushed up, and the strength of the Lingling army seemed to be endless.
Seeing that Guo Deng was surrounded by his own soldiers, Liu Xiu picked up a sleeve arrow on the ground, held it in his hand and played with it for a while, he raised his head and shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city: "Stay alive!" ”
His words can be regarded as temporarily saving Guo Deng's life. When Guo Deng was dragged out of the crowd by two soldiers, he was almost a bloody man, and his whole body was covered with mouths, staining his clothes blood-red.
Ma Wu glanced at Guo Deng, who had lost his mind, and he said indignantly to Liu Xiu: "Lord, this thief is stubborn, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, what do you want him to do?" ”
Liu Xiu shook the sleeve arrow in his hand and said, "This sleeve arrow is the same as the sleeve arrow put by the person who escaped!" ”
It can be seen that the person in the rivers and lakes who calls himself Lu Ning must be related to Guo Deng, and it is very likely that the two are from the same school. Capturing Guo Deng alive, Liu Xiu planned to use him to find out the escaped Lu Ning. Lu Ning's skills are not simple, there is such an enemy hidden in the shadows, Liu Xiu feels that it is a hidden danger.
