Chapter 212: Hold on
Wei Yan's sight deeply stimulated Ma Chao, and Ma Chao personally supervised the battle in anger, so his army immediately launched the most crazy attack on Linjing City.
The battle reached a fever pitch in an instant, and the soldiers on both sides were all red-eyed and desperately greeted the other party's soldiers.
It's not that they want this, it's really not okay, Ma Chao has a heavy reward on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also personally supervising the battle, as long as the soldiers who are not active in the battle will be directly cut, not to mention those who want to flee for their lives, so how can they not work hard in this situation?
And those soldiers at the head of the city understand that as long as the city is broken today, not only them, but even their families will be killed, just now Ma Chao has personally said that he will order the slaughter of the city after the city is broken, how can they not work hard in this case?
However, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in the hearts of the defenders at the head of the city, because their reinforcements, the five thousand people under the command of the hussar general Pei Qing, did not appear in the city, although their main general Wei Yan and his hundreds of troops stood here to fight side by side with them, but after all, there were five thousand less, which made their pressure suddenly increase a lot.
"Although you are guests, if the city is broken, your fate will be the same as ours, why do you sleep while we let us fight for you?"
The defenders were dissatisfied, but under the threat of death, they could only fight hard, because if they didn't fight hard, they would also die, and their families would be affected.
However, after all, this mood affects the battle, and some of the soldiers were killed by the enemy because of distraction.
Yang Qiu, who personally inspected and supervised the battle, saw this scene and knew their thoughts, so he said loudly: "Brothers, although the people of Anding County are fierce, what should we do when facing an enemy who dares to invade us?" ”
I saw the soldiers around me shouting loudly: "I'd rather die than give in, even if I die, I have to pull them on their backs!" ”
"Good!" Yang Qiu was very satisfied with this, and then said, "But if it is our guest, how should we treat it?" ”
"Give it all and be hospitable."
"Yes, we have a clear grievance between the stable men, and we must fight to the death against any enemy who invades us, but all our friends, we also do all our hospitality, these soldiers brought by General Wei have worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles without complaint in order to save us, like such good friends, just like our relatives, where do we go to find them? Now that our friends are so tired and want to rest, can we protect them? ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Swear to protect your best friend!"
"Kill the thieves and protect your friends! Kill, kill, kill! ”
……
Under the encouragement of Yang Qiu, many soldiers in the city no longer took this "injustice" to heart, and they suddenly felt that the strength that had been evacuated had recovered again, and all of them launched a new round of onslaught against the enemy army with tears in their eyes, not to mention their deaths, but also to protect their good friends and let them get a good rest.
The soldiers under Ma Chao's command had already climbed to the top of the city at this time, and they saw that the morale of the other party began to decline, and they were about to take advantage of the situation and continue to attack, but suddenly saw those already weak defenders suddenly shouting and shouting to protect their friends and other words, and rushed towards them desperately, those eyes were full of hatred and ferocity, looking like a pack of wolves, just looking at it was terrifying.
Sure enough, in the course of the ensuing battle, these people launched desperate means one by one, even if they were slashed, they didn't realize it, and they forcibly swung the knife to the original target, and even some people were seriously injured and couldn't see that they were alive, but they had to fit into the enemy, crush them under them, and wait for the robe to kill them, or some seriously injured soldiers jumped off the city wall directly with the enemy and fell to the city together.
One of the defenders of the city was slashed several times, and even his arms were lost, but he still did not give up, pounced on an enemy soldier, bit his ear fiercely, and did not let go until he died......
It was a very tragic battle, the defenders of the city fought with the enemy for their lives, with their bodies, with their iron will to start a frantic battle with the enemy, and not a single of the more than 10,000 people in the city retreated even half a step, and blood was sprinkled all over the city.
Although they paid a heavy price, but also made Ma Chao pay a heavy price, the two sides fought for nearly three hours, Ma Chao's soldiers lost more than 5,000 people, and even the fierce general Pang De was injured.
Of course, Pang De is so brave that ordinary people can't let him get hurt, and the person who hurt him is Wei Yan, a brave general under Pei Qing.
Although most of Wei Yan's soldiers did not participate in the battle for strategic reasons, he and his troops all participated in the battle, and fought bloodily in them, killing and wounding many enemy soldiers, and even Wei Yan resisted the most ferocious general Pang De.
After rushing to the head of the city, Pang De alone killed nearly a hundred defenders, but at the most critical time, Wei Yan rushed over to block him, and his tactics were very different from before, it was completely a battle method of fighting for his life.
At the same time, in order to be able to let Wei Yan win, his troops also desperately stepped forward and surrounded Pang De to attack, although the attack power of these people was far less than Pang De, but after all, they still contained Pang De, a soldier tried to step forward to hug Pang De, and was stabbed to death by Pang De, but at this moment, he was also seized by Wei Yan and stabbed in the shoulder with a shot.
Pang De knew that Wei Yan was brave, even if he was in good physical condition, he and Wei Yan were only between him, and now his shoulder was injured, his strength was greatly reduced, he was definitely not an opponent, although he was brave, but he didn't want to die here, so he hurriedly fled under the pain.
"Hugh go, I want to avenge Feng San!" Although he stabbed Pang De, Wei Yan did not have the slightest smugness in his heart, because his subordinate Feng San was killed by Pang De, this is one of his closest and most trusted subordinates, and he has always regarded the other party as a relative, but now he is dead like this.
So now Wei Yan's heart is full of hatred, and he can't go forward and kill Pang De directly.
But how dare Pound stay here any longer? ignored Wei Yan's words and fled directly.
With the defeat and escape of Pang De, the morale of the siege soldiers was further shaken, and Ma Chao, who was supervising the battle under the city, also knew that something could not be done, so he sighed and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Although we didn't succeed in breaking the city today, but we also brought a heavy blow to the thieves, tonight the soldiers have a good rest, tomorrow morning to have a full meal, I believe that we will be able to capture Linjing City, although it is one day different from what my father stipulated, but as long as we subdue other counties faster, we can still complete the task, Wei Yanxiao'er, let you live one more day, we will see you tomorrow." Looking at Wei Yan, who was standing proudly at the head of the city, Ma Chao's eyes erupted with fire, and he said silently.
