Chapter 379: A Test of Life and Death

Under the city walls above the head of Ningyuan City, blood is flowing, life is disappearing, and the cruel fighting is crazy. It's been two days and two nights, the killing has spread from the east city wall to the other three city walls, the Qianghu coalition army has no intention of stopping the attack, regardless of the casualties day and night, the offensive is like an endless storm 'wave', smashing the east and south walls endlessly, all those who are afraid of advancing are stabbed in two by Sulu Khan's personal army, and there are more than 1,000 cowards who are just being corrected. Holding a butcher's knife aloof, Sulu Khan drove the Hu soldiers into the most brutal battlefield in the rain of arrows and stones, until their lives were ended by the defenders.

During the time of the confrontation, the Qianghu built enough long ladders and wooden shields, and after the reinforcements were gathered, they could not wait to launch a terrible offensive, trying to overwhelm the defenders with crowd tactics and fatigue tactics.

Ningyuan City has been severely tested!

Zhang Qiu was a spearman who was a member of the Tiger Wolf Cavalry, he had experienced the first bloody battle of his life two days earlier, and he could never forget the brutality of the first battle, and at the end of the day, only four of the remaining nine people in his gang could continue to fight, and the gang leader died heroically. After a day and a half of repairs, the military order sent him to the brutal battlefield at the head of Nancheng City again, replacing the robe that was overtired from continuous fighting.

"Kill!" Zhang Qiu's eyes were red, the spear in his hand was like an attacking snake 'kiss', lightning stabbed out, and a Turkic had just jumped up to the city along a wooden ladder, with a wooden shield in his left hand and a short axe in his right hand, facing Zhang Qiu head-on. In the face of the rapid life-killing spear tip, the Turks instinctively raised their shields to resist, and the cold of winter made the wooden shield extremely hard, blocking the terrifying blow, and the Turks received a strong impact, and couldn't help but retreat continuously, and the whole person fell down on his back with a slip under his feet.

"Die!" Zhang Qiu was like a fierce beast, stepping forward, and the tip of the spear stabbed fiercely into the opponent's chest. The brave Turk howled, and burst out with the last of his strength before dying, and the short axe in his hand was thrown out by him, spinning and slashing at Zhang Qiu. Zhang Qiu couldn't dodge, the sharp axe blade slashed in front of his 'chest', a dull sound came, the axe blade was embedded in the cotton armor on Zhang Qiu's body, and Zhang Qiu, who thought he was going to die, broke out in a cold sweat.

Cotton armor has almost become the most dazzling star of the city's 'hand-to-hand' combat, Zhang Qiu was hit by two arrows, two knives and an axe, and the result was very lucky, and the god of death passed him through a cotton armor. Not only him, but many of the soldiers of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry were like this, even if they were in the same group as Zhang Qiu, only two of them were killed in battle, and the other three who withdrew from the battle sequence were only injured in their hands and feet and lost their combat effectiveness.

Zhang Qiu pulled out the axe cut in the cotton armor, and his eyes hurriedly scanned the surrounding battle situation, fighting everywhere he looked, the sword light and gun shadows could be seen at any time, and from time to time there were cold arrows flying, scolding, wailing, endlessly. He suddenly heard the shouts of the new team leader, and when he looked sideways, two Turks were besieging the new team leader, Zhang Qiu did not hesitate, and the spear in his hand frantically beckoned to the enemy. However, this time Zhang Qiu was not so easy to succeed, he obviously felt that the strength of the enemy against him today was very strong, and the three shots of the consecutive thrust were blocked by the opponent, and the opponent was very old enough to use a horse shield to block the outside to unload his strength.

Zhang Qiu's several attacks were in vain, and the Turks began to fight back, taking advantage of Zhang Qiu's gun, they quickly 'forced' at him, and cut off his head with a scimitar. In a narrow space, it is more conducive to the play of short weapons, and the spear in the hand does not move. Zhang Qiu had no choice but to retreat and dodge in the face of the Turkic blade.

After two days of fighting, the city was full of blood and ice, and if you were not careful, you would slip, although the shoes distributed by the armed courtyard took this into account, and there were several ravines in the soles, but Zhang Qiu still fell, and the process of the spear in his hand falling to the ground disappeared. The Turks did not miss the opportunity, raised their feet and stepped on Zhang Qiu's chest, raised their scimitars high, and stared at his neck with a cruel smile.

Seeing that the scimitar was about to be cut off, Zhang Qiu roared angrily and pulled out a broken blade from the small 'leg', which was given to him by the general himself, in order to encourage him to learn from his brave father and brother. The Turkic felt a sharp pain in his little 'leg', and the scimitar in his hand shifted and slashed Zhang Qiu's shoulder. Zhang Qiu screamed wildly and overturned the Turks, pounced on him like a wolf, holding a sharp short blade in his hand and piercing his chest. The two fought together, rolling on the city, and Zhang Qiu's short blade almost killed the Turks several times, but the Turks were lucky to dodge. Gradually, Zhang Qiu's strength was exhausted, the Turks fought back again, a roll pressed Zhang Qiu under him, both hands twisted the short blade on Zhang Qiu's hand little by little, the tip of the knife pointed at Zhang Qiu's neck, although Zhang Qiu was refusing, but the strength was weak, watching the distance between the tip of the knife and his neck shortening, the tip of the knife downward, over the tip of Zhang Qiu's nose, over the chin, directly at his Adam's apple, life and death in a moment.

"Poof!" The Turkic suddenly opened his eyes angrily, and a mouthful of blood spit on Zhang Qiu's face, Zhang Qiu felt that the power coming from the Turk's hand was weakening, and he didn't have time to 'figure' the reason, Zhang Qiu pushed away the Turkic man who was pressing on him, only to see the gang leader standing in front of him, smiling and stretching out his hand to him. Zhang Qiu understood that it was the gang leader who saved him from danger.

Holding the hand of the team leader, Zhang Qiu stood up, but his smile suddenly froze, and he suddenly saw that a feather arrow pierced the neck of the team leader, who had only been promoted for less than two days, and the team leader covered his neck in horror and made a painful hoarse sound......

"Kill!" Zhang Qiu burst into tears, and the lost spear returned to his hand, plunging into the chest of an enemy who had crossed the city. The enemy seemed to be endless, and when he withdrew his guns, two more Turks jumped from Zhang Qiu's front to the city.

Zhang Qiu panted to resist the enemy's total, his strength was almost exhausted, and he would collapse at any time.

"Whoosh! Sou! "Two short arrows flew and accurately 'inserted' into the Turkic people's bodies, relieving Zhang Qiu's difficulties. Zhang Qiu looked sideways, only to see a tall and burly figure appear more than ten steps away, raising a knife and rushing towards him, and a group of soldiers who followed him were actually 'female' soldiers, one by one, raising their crossbows, skillfully 'handing' forward, taking turns to shoot the crossbow arrows in their hands.

Zhang Qiu wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes, and he saw clearly that the general who was fighting beside him, mighty and invincible, a Han knife in his hand slashed left and right, and did everything possible to kill two Turkic soldiers.

"Can you still fight?" Li Huaitang looked back at Zhang Qiu, who was covered in blood, and thought that he was seriously injured.

"Yes!" Zhang Qiu burst out with a force that even he felt surprised, fighting side by side with the general was his dreamland, his pride, and his glory, even if he died in battle, he was willing to die.

Li Huaitang admired: "Good man, hold on!" ”

Zhang Qiu's group, including him, only three people were still fighting power, and when he was encouraged, Zhang Qiu shouted angrily, consciously performed the duties of the gang leader, and motioned to the two soldiers around him to move closer to him and fight side by side with him.

The situation at the head of the city was tilted towards the defenders because of the arrival of Li Huaitang, and the momentum of the tiger and wolf cavalry soldiers was soaring, and even the seriously injured soldiers were full of endless fighting spirit, frantically attacking the enemy who climbed up to the top of the city.

Under the city wall, Suo, who suddenly invested 'elite' forces, trying to take Ning Yuan City down in one fell swoop, was furious. He blamed all the previous crushing defeats on the Fire Seeker, and Sulu Khan reluctantly gave him one last chance, if he couldn't make a contribution, I was afraid that his head would be lost. So he selected thousands of 'elite' elites to form a death squad, and at the critical moment they all put into it, seeing that the effect was gradually reflecting, but suddenly suffocated, and the defenders were obviously supported. Suo put his heart on the side, and gave a ruthless order to the last hundreds of overseers, that is, his own soldiers: "Follow me, only advance and not retreat!" ”

Rather than having his head cut off by Sulu Khan, it is better to die a glorious battle. At this time, Suo was enthusiastic and rushed up the wooden ladder, and the dead soldiers at the head of the city won him time to go to the city.

Suo climbed over the 'female' wall, full of 'excited' anger and waiting to find a person to vent, but saw the person he didn't want to see the most, Li Huaitang, the butcher of Shi Guo!

Despite his fear, Suo fought hard against the terrifying God of Murder in his mind. Unable to ask for a fight, Li Huaitang also saw him, a big fish, what gentlemanly demeanor, what fair decisive battle, what Don Quixote 'spirit' spirit, all of them were thrown to Java by Li Huaitang, and the Han knife in his hand slashed at Suo for the first time. The sharp Han knife easily cut the scimitar and slashed at Suo's Mingguang armor, Suo took a half step back in surprise, slammed into the wall, and relying on the solid Mingguang armor, he escaped. However, the pace of killing the god did not stop, and the Han knife swept towards Suo's unguarded neck for the second time

Like Li Huaitang, such an important person as Suo always hugged from the front and back, and there was no shortage of brave soldiers, and when Suo thought he was dead, two pro-soldiers who usually never left each other rushed to Li Huaitang from the 'female' wall desperately.

The light of the knife flashed, and a turkey horse was broken into two in the air, and the scene was extremely terrifying, so frightened that the 'female' soldiers behind Li Huaitang had bloodless faces and vomited. Another turk threw down Li Huaitang.

"Kill him!" Suo suddenly came to the 'spirit' spirit, and he felt a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the palm of his hand.

It's a pity that he forgot, his own fate was also decided in the hands of the other party, Sava didn't spit out, the crossbow arrow in his hand pointed at the rope, it was very simple, her understanding was that the person the general wanted to kill was absolutely damned, originally she thought that the general would kill with one blow, but unexpectedly there was an emergency, the opportunity was placed in front of her eyes, as long as the finger was lightly buckled, you can reap the results that many people dream of. In fact, Sava snapped his finger and pulled the trigger of the crossbow, and ten paces was the most powerful range of the crossbow, and the bolt sank into the big 'legs' of the rope, almost nailing him to the wall.

Suo fell to his knees with a grief of grief, and several crossbow arrows followed, one of which burrowed through his left eye and pierced his head, instantly robbing him of consciousness.

And Suo wanted to kill Li Huaitang The opportunity also slipped through his fingers, and Li Huaitang's personal soldiers arrived in time to chop off the Texai Shi people who were scuffling with Li Huaitang, and rescued Li Huaitang from the predicament of grappling.

Suo's death hastened the defeat of the Turgish, and the 'fierce' battle at the head of the city was like a tense tug-of-war, as one of the players stumbled and stumbled, the balance of power suddenly fell to the other, and the losing side collapsed with a "bang".

Li Huaitang finally breathed a sigh of relief, in the past two days, he had only taken a few naps, where the war was tense, he appeared. He had just come from Beicheng to inspect it, and when he left, the defenders of Beicheng were still fighting fiercely with the big cannibals, but there were hundreds of Mo swordsmen to help, and the battle was still under control for a while. The strong Hu fought a tired battle, 200,000 horses and horses took turns to attack the city day and night, and the strength of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry to defend the city was originally sufficient, but the physical consumption of continuous combat was too large, resulting in a decline in combat effectiveness, and the people who assisted in defense could not be counted on. However, one of the most important factors in the dangerous situation in the defense was that the Flying Tiger Cavalry was not put into the defensive battle, and their desire to join the battle was directly ignored by Li Huaitang, and they were forced to return to the army to nourish and recuperate.

Ningyuan City was attacked on three main sides, the east of the city, and the opponents were mainly the Shiguo infantry of Yi Wei; To the north, the main attack was the allied forces of Dashi and Tubo; To the south was the Turgish, while to the west was low, and the Qianghu only let the Rangers contain them, and there was no real 'sexual' attack. The infantry to deal with Yi Wei is mainly the tiger horse, this Li Huaitang is not worried, the brave and good fighting, well-equipped, well-equipped tiger horse soldiers should have no problem blocking the people of Shiguo, what worries Li Huaitang the most is Nancheng, after all, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry have not experienced a big battle, and it is a high-intensity battle at the beginning, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it, so Li Huaitang patrolled back and forth on the north and south city walls.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the 'gate' of Nancheng, Li Huaitang received a request for help from the defenders. At that time, he was taken aback, and rushed to the stairs of the city wall with dozens of personal soldiers, but unexpectedly met the bold Sava and his party on the stairs, and her answer made Li Huaitang's head big: Just patrol here to catch up with the help!

There was no time to be verbose, emergency like firefighting, Li Huaitang took them to rush to the city to fight, the power of the crossbows of the 'female' soldiers was fully displayed, under the protection of Li Huaitang's own soldiers, they successively 'shot' to kill the fierce outlaw Turks, and the effect was so great that the male soldiers were surprised. However, the fierce battle still wounded several 'female' soldiers, and as soon as the battle ended, Li Huaitang drove Shawa and the others back to the General's Mansion with the 'female' wounded soldiers.

At the end of the fierce battle, on the tower of Nancheng City, Li Huaitang and the soldiers sat on the cold stone face and chatted.

"I remember that your name is Zhang Qiu, your father Zhang Yuan and brother Zhang Wang sacrificed their lives to defend the city of Qishi, the murderer is this group of turphores, today I finally avenged your father and brother." Li Huaitang sat next to Zhang Qiu, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

Zhang Qiu was very excited, it turned out that the general still remembered him, he nodded and said, "Thank you General for avenging my father and brother!" ”

Li Huaitang said: "This revenge is avenged by yourself, and it is avenged by the entire Ningyuan Iron Cavalry for you." Hehe, how many feats have you gained in the past two days? ”

"Six! Two silver stars! Zhang Qiu's eyes lit up.

As if he had gained too little, Zhang Qiu was still unsatisfied: "General, do you say that the Tuqi Shi people will still come?" ”

Li Huaitang smiled and looked at the sky to the south, and the answer seemed to be hidden under the twilight of chaos.

"The end of the crossbow!" Li Huaitang said something that made Zhang Qiu 'touch' his mind. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
