Chapter 402: Burning the City

Jizhou, Anxian County, the former flat city platform is full of devastation at this time, the solid bluestone ground was smashed out of a hundred potholes by the boulders fired by the cannon, the gatehouse also collapsed in half, the wooden pillar lingered with curling black smoke, a group of Yuan soldiers or sitting or lying on the city, almost everyone's face was covered with fatigue, more people were closing their eyes and resting, the attack of the tiger guard camp under the city has not stopped since it began, two days and one night of fierce fighting made the physical strength of the city guards has reached the limit, This moment of free time was the time for both sides to dispose of the corpses of the soldiers, and only then could the defenders get some respite.

At this time, Lu Weihuang's eye sockets were deep, his face was dark, but he was still patrolling the city, and the soldiers could be rotated to rest, but as the main general, he didn't even have the opportunity to close his eyes, Zhang He's offensive was too fierce, he was afraid that he would not be able to support Anxian as soon as he lay down, thinking that it had been more than ten years since he joined the military camp, and he had experienced a lot of vicious battles, but compared with this time, those were insignificant, two days and one night, only two days and one night, Of his more than 8,000 defenders, there were only more than 1,000 people left at the head of the city, and the last batch of soldiers who had been rotated last night had already stood at the head of the city, and he had no backup in his hands.

Seeing the bombardment cannon under the city put on a familiar attack formation, Lu Weihuang knew that the last moment was coming, relying on these more than 1,000 soldiers who were physically and mentally exhausted in front of him, he could not survive another day, maybe after a few hours, Anxian County would become his home, just like General Han Meng, who was martyred in the city that day, this is almost an unchangeable fact, the only thing to talk about is to talk about himself

The consolation is that he is sure that the casualties of the Tiger Guard Battalion under the city must be in the tens of thousands.

Death is so near, but Lu Weihuang's heart has an indescribable lightness, the crockpot wellhead is broken, and the general is killed, is there a better ending for a soldier than dying in battle? The eldest husband is worthy of heaven and earth, and he can fight with the Youzhou Tiger Guard Army here for many days, and he can be regarded as repaying the lord's affection, of course, there will be a more fierce battle before this, and he will never let the Tiger Guard Battalion occupy Anxian County before he falls.

Thinking of this, his waist straightened up again, and he spoke loudly to boost the morale of the remaining soldiers, and his siblings also gave him a satisfactory response, long before this defense of the city, he had already informed these comrades who had fought countless battles with him, fought to the last man, and died with the city! What makes him proud is that almost none of these soldiers turned their backs on him, and they chose to fight side by side with him even though they knew that they were dying. Success or failure has nothing to do with him at this time.

"Jinwu, has everything been arranged in the city?" After walking past the soldiers one by one and talking to them in detail, Lu Weihuang returned to the gatehouse and asked softly to the entourage beside him.

"Rest assured, general, everything is in order, and the enemy will only get a piece of broken bricks." This entourage looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he has a maturity that does not match his age, and at this time his face is also a determined color, and there is a little bit of it. Reluctantly!

"Jin Wu, you are only fifteen this year, you will descend after you do it, I heard that Liu Yi has always been kind to the soldiers, and now Zhang Junyi under the city is also a famous general in Jizhou, and he will not embarrass you." Lu Weihuang hesitated for a moment before he spoke, this entourage was still a beggar he rescued from the street a year ago, and he was also the youngest person under his command, and he wanted to leave him a way out.

"The general and all of you are gone, what does it mean for Jin Wu to survive alone? If it weren't for the general, I would have died a year ago, and this year is already too much to live. The young man's voice was not loud, but his eyes were still firm, in the barracks, everyone was dead, how could he live alone?

"Hehe, good! Brothers, let's go on the road together today, but before that, my Jizhou boy couldn't be underestimated, and he should fight to the end! Lu Weihuang smiled slightly, and immediately pulled out the steel knife on his waist and pointed at the city, shouting loudly in his mouth, and a condensed momentum burst out.

"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end." The soldiers at the head of the city also stood up at this time, raised their blades in their hands and responded loudly, and for a time the head of Anxian County was extremely strong.

"Lu Weihuang, Zhang will always remember your name, and will personally send you on your way today! Hmph, such a good general was abandoned by Yuan Shao'er, what else does Jizhou rely on? Seeing that the originally lifeless Anxian County suddenly erupted into a great roar, a monstrous battle intent rushed to his face, Zhang closed his eyes with respect, and raised the red order flag in his hand after saying a word to himself.

"Suzaku Battalion, fifteen consecutive shots, release!" Seeing the flag raised, Li Tie's tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he could see that Anxian County at this time was at the end of the crossbow, but at this time, the morale of the enemy army was not down at all, and he also respected each other in his heart, this is not a battlefield to fight against foreign races, as long as it is a brave soldier, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is worthy of respect! Of course, the Suzaku Battalion's way of paying tribute is to operate the Sky Bombardment Cannon more quickly!

Today's battle situation is as in the past, after the launch of the bombardment cannon is the impact of the Tiger Guard Battalion foot soldiers on the city, the only difference is that the resistance of the head of Anxian County is not as strong as in the past, no matter how high the fighting spirit can not cover up the disparity in strength, about half an hour later, the siege force of the Tiger Guard Battalion has already climbed the tower, and then it is like a chain reaction, more and more soldiers are on the city, and the last short combat is launched at the head of the city.

The defenders are fighting back desperately under the leadership of Lu Weihuang, and all their potential is stimulated at this moment, but the gap between the two armies is also reflected at this time, losing the fortified city as a barrier, once the two sides have a close fight, even if the city soldiers are desperate, they can still lose the upper hand in the battle, even in such a chaotic environment, the tiger guard battalion soldiers can still maintain the formation as much as possible, in the face of the Yuan soldiers who are like crazy tigers, they calmly harvest their lives with tacit cooperation, and the defenders continue to fall, the battle is roughly decided.

Lu Weihuang is still wielding the long knife in his hand, the personal soldiers around him are getting fewer and fewer, the combat power shown by the Tiger Guard Battalion in close combat is even stronger than when attacking the city, they will not hesitate at all when it is time to fight, but once the advantage is in hand, they will be as calm as water, Lu Weihuang knows that this is the quality that the real elite has, and it is also the realm that he has been pursuing in military training, although he will not have another chance in the future, it may be a relief to see him before he dies. With such an enemy army, can my Jizhou people fight against it? He will not be able to see the outcome of this battle.

The three spears pierced into Lu Weihuang's chest and abdomen almost at the same time, the blood from the corners of his mouth overflowed uncontrollably, and the strength of his body was also lost with the severe pain, Lu Weihuang slowly knelt down, supported his body with a steel knife, and reluctantly turned his body to the south side, General Yuan, Wei Huang went, fortunately not dishonored! The raised head was lowered, but the body remained in its original position.

At the same time, there were countless fires in Anxian County, this fire was extremely fierce together, the defenders had already sprinkled the fire on the houses in the city, and then the wind was strong for a while, and the fire rose to the sky, and the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion at the head of the city could feel the heat wave coming to their faces, such a fire could not be extinguished by manpower, they could only wait for the fire to burn out and extinguish. Judging by the intensity of the fire, it must be difficult for those who set it to set fire!

"Someone, the lord of the Pegasus newspaper, my Tiger Guard Battalion has taken Anxian County on time, the 8,000 defenders in the city have been annihilated, the enemy general Lu Weihuang has died, and the city has been set on fire before the enemy army is defeated, and the city has been destroyed." At this time, Zhang He, who was watching the battle under the city, also went to the top of the city tower, saw the raging fire and Lu Weihuang's body, and knew the cause as soon as his mind turned around, sighed slightly, and said to the clerk beside him in a deep voice, no matter what the loss, this battle tiger guard camp was won.
