Chapter 34: A drop in the bucket
Everyone came out of the house to the square, and Cheng Pu asked the general on horseback: "Xianyu County Lieutenant!" Why did Xu Wu's reinforcements only arrive today? ”
"Go back to Lieutenant! As soon as the people in the city heard that the barbarians were coming, they fled one after another, and Xu Wucheng was in chaos. In order to maintain the law and order of Xu Wucheng, Wen Xianjun had to delay the support again and again. Xia Guan had already arrived overnight, and there was no delay on the road. The sergeants walked more than 300 miles in a row, very tired, hoping that Captain Guan would let them rest. ”
"Shun it! This is the county lieutenant of Xu Wu County, and he is fresh in silver. Cheng Pu turned to Xian Yuyin again: "Wei Jun, this is the son of Liu Bo'an, Liu and Liu Shunzhi, who came from thousands of miles to help." ”
Liu Hezuo: "Fortunately! ”
"Yuyang is fresh in silver, and the cursive word is uncle." Xian Yuyin took out a roll of small bamboo slips and handed it to Liu He: "This is what the county gentleman asked me to entrust to Liu Jun when I came." ”
"Oh?" Liu He took the bamboo slip and looked at it: "Great! Decau. My father had already arrived in Jixian County and said that he had sent Zhou Gongcao to lead the troops with Xian Yufu. ”
Cheng Pu smiled, then looked at the soldiers in the square and asked, "Shuzhang, how many of you came?" ”
"Three hundred and fifteen! The county magistrate has done his best. All the people who can hold knives in the county government have come, even the guys who cook for the county monarch have come, and now the entire Xu Wucheng is also the county gentleman alone with a few people who do not leave are watching the city gate. ”
Liu He and Chen Pu did not speak, and they were very moved.
Liu He pulled up Xian Yuyin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Go and rest." ”
"Demou! Are these Xian Yu Fu and Xian Yu Yin brothers? Liu He looked at Xian Yu Fudao.
"Yes."
"Hmm." Liu He thought in his heart, remembering that in the romance, he was fresh and loyal to Liu Yu [Note 1]
A red sun slowly rose from the eastern horizon, and the golden sunlight shone on the war-torn Lulongse, gilding the entire fortress with a dazzling light, and the soldiers felt comfortable and comfortable bathed in the warm sunlight.
Liu He stood on the city tower and looked at the siege troops coming over densely, and his heart was heavy. Enemy reinforcements finally arrived on the eleventh day of their assault on Luronse, and at least three thousand men.
The soldiers stood on the city tower and their hearts were also up and down, when they withdrew yesterday, there were not so many people, but today it suddenly skyrocketed many people came out, how many people do these Hu people still have backup?
The morale of the enemy was greatly boosted by the arrival of reinforcements, and the attack was even more fierce than yesterday. Uyan still uses the tactics of the main attack on the left side and the auxiliary attack on the right, so that the soldiers do not rest and take turns to attack.
The soldiers above and below the fortress were shouting and roaring, the walls were crowded with people fighting each other, the city was full of lying corpses, and the deafening sound of war drums and horns resounded throughout Luronse.
Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong are brave, they are now at the end of their crossbows. They brandished bloody weapons and led the soldiers to rush to the city wall again and again to stop and kill, and then organized everyone to charge and stop the killing. Until no one is behind them.
Liu He felt that the situation was very bad, but the enemy in front of him seemed to not know tiredness and death, and he still stubbornly and tenaciously climbed over the city wall, jumped down and raised his sword to slash. For the first time, he felt that he was facing not a Xianbei person or a Wuhuan person, but a lifeless and unconscious zombie.
He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Support! Who will support me..."
Immediately he heard the sound of running footsteps and heard the roar of Xian Yuyin.
Xian Yuyin brandished the sword of slashing horses, and angrily led more than a dozen people to kill him.
Liu He's heart was relieved, and he almost knelt on the ground - he really couldn't kill anymore.
The sword of the slashing horse that is fresh in silver is powerful and heavy, and those who are hit will die, and those who touch it will be injured. More than a dozen soldiers guarded him like a fierce tiger with teeth and claws, bravely killing the enemy. A Xianbei soldier rushed towards him, and he picked up his sword and slashed down, disemboweling the soldier violently, and then he was grabbed by an enemy soldier next to him.
Xian Yuyin sneered in his heart, shook his hand, and threw the knife, intending to drag him to death. Unexpectedly, that man's strength was very strong, and he took three pumps before pulling out the horse sword. Then he swung his sword and stabbed left and right, no one could take a move, and the soldiers behind roared and swarmed up, and immediately cut the three Xianbei people into pulp.
Liu Bei had been injured in several places and had an arrow stuck in his arm. But he did not feel any pain, and was bent on killing the enemy from the tower. All of his troops had been killed, and the soldiers around him were fighting the enemy under his leadership. They were inspired by Liu Bei's murderous aura, and they moved forward fearlessly one by one.
Liu Bei finally stabbed his sword into the chest of the last enemy, and the double-strand sword pierced through the enemy's corpse and pressed against the hard stone blocks of the city wall. He turned back to the soldiers and shouted, "Kill..."
Immediately he felt that there was a gun shadow around him, Liu Bei turned around suddenly, and the long sword in his right hand was drawn and inserted into the throat of the enemy who was about to pounce on the city wall.
Zou Jing rushed in and out of the city wall like a madman, and was finally kicked to the ground by the enemy with all his strength, and the three Xianbei people raised their swords with blood-red eyes and slashed.
At this time, Han Dang roared and rushed over, slashing at the thigh of an enemy, and the man fell to the ground with a roar. Then Cheng Pu swished two arrows, one arrow after another into the chest of the two enemies, and the two of them roared unwillingly and fell on their backs by the remaining strength of the long arrow.
In this way, Zou Jing escaped death.
Uyan looked at Lu Longsai, who was killing the sky, and looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west.
"Herald! Today, the army attacked the city overnight and swore to take Luronse. ”
Xiong Shi, the leader of Xianbei on the side, nodded appreciatively. This Uyan is indeed brave, resourceful, and courageous. Now the Han army is exhausted, and only the ability to parry has no power to fight back. The soldiers were denied rest, their supplies not replenished, and they were not fed. On the other hand, the morale of the soldiers on their side is high, their physical strength is acceptable, and the support personnel are well prepared. If you don't take the opportunity to take the main city wall today, it will indeed be a waste of opportunity.
"Herald! Forty bonfires were lit under the city, and cattle were killed and roasted. ”
"Order the soldiers of the whole army to take turns to eat meat and rest, and take turns to attack the city! If we don't take Luronse today, we'll all die here. ”
Suddenly, an earth-shattering war drum sounded over Luronse, and the drums slammed into the hearts of the attackers like a stormy wave.
Wuyan and Xiong suddenly became nervous, and both saw horror and horror in each other's eyes.
[Note 1] "Zizhi Tongjian": Liu Yu was engaged in Yuyang Xian Yu Fu and others, and he led the state soldiers to take revenge together, and Yan Rou of Yan Guo was known as Wu Huan Sima. Rou lured tens of thousands of Hu and Han, and fought with Zou Dan, the Taishou of Yuyang, and fought in Lubei, killing more than 4,000 people. The king of Wuhuan Cliff also led more than 7,000 horsemen and Xianbei, followed Funan to welcome Yuzi and joined forces with Yuan Shao to attack Zan with 100,000 troops, broke Zan in Baoqiu, and beheaded more than 20,000 ranks. So Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping each killed the chief officials placed by Zhan, and reunited with Xian Yufu and Liu He, and the Zhan army was repeatedly defeated.
