Chapter 230: Turmoil 2
After dawn, outside the city of Daluo, Jiaozhou, it was already submerged in the huge clamor and fireworks of the fierce battle.
"Kill the thief."
"Kill the thief."
"Kill the thief."
With the shouts that almost shook the city, from the top of the city condescendingly looked past, the first to bear the attack were hundreds of people wearing iron and round helmets and holding large swords and long axes, draped in a strong and sharp slash to slash the pioneering Shu army; Then there are the strong and brave soldiers selected from the thousands of local athletes, covered with scale iron armor and holding licensed spears;
In the end, the local armies were much more disorganized and several times more numerous, and their armor and weapons were much more chaotic; They poured out of the city gate like a tide, and then divided into several distinct echelons at short distances before and after, and suddenly slaughtered the huge camp that the city was really right.
The various trenches, horse rejections, pits, and fences set up outside the besieged camp were easily broken through, destroyed, and filled in by the brave officers and soldiers in the absence of sufficient long-range projections to intercept and block, and rushed straight to the innermost camp wall;
I saw that under the bold slash of those vanguard armor soldiers who were not reduced, the camp walls formed by these standing wooden rows were quickly found to be weak points of connection, and the splits and cuts that were removed by the three or five were pushed to the ground, forming a breakthrough gap one by one.
Officers and soldiers of all colors and armor rushed in from these breaches like a torrent of coloured colors that had flooded the wilderness; In the roars and shouts of the fierce fighting, they broke through one obstacle after another, and set fire to one camp after another.
"What a thief, he actually deceived him for many days."
And in the rear team of the offensive array, Zeng Gon, who led the team to supervise the battle and press the formation, was also sighing.
"Be sure to catch me alive and see who can do this trick right under my nose."
He was also completely out of the way, for these were all the forces he could safely use at the moment, and for this reason even the guards at the head of the city were given to the people and the local solidarity soldiers who had been temporarily requisitioned; I just want this all-out blow in front of me to win the victory.
meanwhile
"Now it's time to play with the ball."
Qu Chengyu, who was on an earthen platform, looked at the official army road that was only slightly resisting and blocking, and then attacked the official and military roads in the camp under the city like a bamboo.
"Don't worry, the pipe head has explained. As long as we have a breath left, we will do our best to keep the leader of the song safe. ”
The remaining lieutenant Xu Si and Xu Yi said widely.
"If you hold on to this place, you will have the opportunity to wait for the backup to return."
"It's a pity that the equipment in the camp is gone."
Qu Chengyu looked at the officers and soldiers who were quickly breaking in, and sighed again at the stone cannons and other siege equipment that were ignited and gradually drowned in the fireworks.
It is said that the key parts of these equipment, which were transported from Guangfu by sea, and then went up the river to the city of Jiaozhou, were now burned by the officials and soldiers, and I can't help but feel very painful and pity.
"It's okay, the head of the pipe once said that things are dead, but people are alive."
Captain Xu Yi will speak again.
"As long as there are people who can build it, even if these dead things are destroyed, they can be doubled and rebuilt."
"Are you so convinced of the words of the Void Leader?"
Qu Chengyu couldn't help but ask again, but he was sighing that the other party's heart was really big.
"This is natural, since the head of the pipe has led me to wait, there have been few things that have been said first, but they have rarely failed."
Xu Yi will not hesitate to say.
"Since we said that we can hold on and wait for help, we will naturally wait for backup."
"Besides, there is still food and weapons here, and four stations and one base are preset to facilitate the garrison, even if the entire camp is destroyed."
Speaking of this, he was even more eloquent.
"As long as you don't mess up your own position, why don't you be afraid of more officers and soldiers."
Well, Qu Chengyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he was infected by his unwarranted open-mindedness and blind confidence.
"Cheer up, y'all."
Then he turned around and came to the other side of the platform, and said to the gathered earth regiment soldiers under the stage.
"Don't let people underestimate the character and courage of my Annan children."
Then he took his bow and set the string and released the arrow, and saw a roar like lightning, and in the middle and far a surging soldier of the head of the armor fell to the ground suddenly; Encouraged by his example, those Tutuan soldiers also rushed to the wall to shoot with bows, and in a moment the momentum of the officers and troops who were on a rampage was suppressed by the shooting that made people turn over on their backs.
"This battle is going on."
Qu Chengyu shouted in a loud voice with some excitement, and fired the second and third shots with his bow again;
And the small number of rebel crossbowmen who were stationed on the earthen platform also began to cooperate with the focus of the fire; The crossbow arrows, which were more powerful than bows and arrows, suddenly pierced the officers and soldiers who were reorganizing and gathering together to the screaming head-on; But he also penetrated the second and third people without abating.
At this moment, even the banners raised in the vanguard of the official army were knocked down one after another, and the whole momentum of the offensive was suddenly frustrated, and they hurriedly retreated back for a long distance. However, they also succeeded in attracting several other officers and troops who were wreaking havoc in the camp.
It's just that it wasn't long before his full confidence turned into a sudden turn of anger and eagerness. Because those Tutuan soldiers who were boosted in morale and bravery, in the process of setting up bows and shooting behind the wall and repelling the officers and soldiers several times, their performance was quite acceptable; However, once these officers and soldiers desperately advanced regardless of casualties, they began to show all kinds of cowardice and showed shortcomings that were not conducive to close combat and morale was difficult to sustain.
It was easy to be disrupted by the vanguard of the officers and soldiers who were a little closer, and in the panic, he completely lost the ability to suppress the long-range, and then he was brought closer to the camp by more officers and soldiers, and he retreated in defeat in the midst of losing one or the other. In the blink of an eye, between more than a dozen offensive and defensive rounds, the improvised defensive line and the wall were already full of corpses that were entangled between the enemy and the enemy.
And the troops and family soldiers who were closely following Qu Chengyu's side and running back and forth to meet them were no longer able to stand; The last guard who collapsed with a poignant "be careful" clutching his stomach; slashed the sword on the neck that the opponent's armor could not protect, and a large ball of blood was splashed on his face and the corners of his eyes turned red, but Qu Chengyu had no time to draw his hand to wipe it;
Because one of the officers and soldiers who came one after another stabbed again with a spear, and although he barely avoided it, he brushed himself and pinned the belt hook on his waist; Seeing that Qu Chengyu, who was about to pull back with all his strength, stumbled forward, and suddenly the officer and soldier screamed miserably and let go, but he was inexplicably hit by an arrow in his face and fell obliquely.
However, it was Captain Xu Yi, who was holding a crossbow machine, who had already rushed over to this end, and when he approached, he was radiating and slashing, and the officers and soldiers who had crossed the low wall were driven back to the corpses again; But as they became more and more overstretched with the number of casualties at their disposal, the lines they maintained became more and more incompatible; Before Qu Chengyu could take a breath and say something to him, another group of officers and troops roared through the edge of the earthen platform, and the scattered and scattered earth regiments came in.
"It's fucking endless."
Captain Xu Yi wiped the blood on his face mixed with sweat, and reflexively slaughtered him non-stop; Once again, they were entangled with these intruding enemies;
Soon after, they had to fight and walk more and more, breaking through the siege of the official army, and retreating to the last two adjacent earthen platforms. With a little topography on a high point; On the shrinking defensive surface, the combination of swords, guns, bows and crossbows once again repelled and defeated the several struggles of the officers and troops.
However, the officers and soldiers who came under the earth platform changed their strategy again, and while holding a big card to cover, they copied various tools and began to dig the base of the earth platform; Although it was a tamped pedestal, it still could not withstand the full force of the digging and warping, and I saw that large and small pieces of broken earth were pushed aside.
This seemingly laborious and clumsy method soon forced one of the earthen platforms to be gradually cut down, and began to shrink and collapse the defensive line maintained on the earthen platform, and some people who could not dodge lost their foothold and fell, tumbled, and drowned in the crowd of officers and soldiers.
"This is a problem."
Commander Xu Yi frowned again and said resolutely to Qu Chengyu.
"Before those dogs are in the middle to deal with them, I'll protect you and go out."
"Everyone move, and throw all the things that can't be brought to me and smash them, so that they can have a good time."
"At least hold on until dark, so that it is possible to take advantage of the chaos to stand out."
At this time, the many officers and soldiers who were continuing to wreak havoc and hunt down the rout of the rebellion in the camp suddenly heard an uproar and a huge chain reaction, as if they were disturbed by some external factor.
Subsequently, Qu Chengyu and Xu Yijiang both confirmed that they were not delusions; It was a high-pitched, dense whistle faintly coming from the sky. Then the figures and movements of the officers and soldiers who were scrambling to climb to the stage and digging the pedestal in full swing couldn't help but appear a moment of slowness and hesitation;
Then, in the distance, I saw a thin cyan line spread out like a surge in the sky, and began to appear on the edge of the battlefield; After only a dozen breaths, the blue banner floating in the sky was visible to the naked eye, which suddenly made the remnants of these rebels who were finally stationed on the earth platform inextricably boost their morale and work harder and harder to attack and kill the officers and soldiers.
"Quickly blow the trumpet and gather the scattered people."
And Zeng Gon, who was commanding Ruo Ding in the rear, couldn't help but change his face greatly, and hurriedly shouted to the officer next to him.
"I ordered all the soldiers outside to go up to the nearest barracks and fortifications. Relying on the terrain to resist and hold on to the impact of the enemy. ”
