253. Hidden dangers

It was only in an instant, and at this time, there were no people on Tianchengwei Street who were investigating, only the defenders with nervous expressions ran by, and a few wounded soldiers were thrown on the side of the street waiting for the military doctor.

Nangong Jin ran towards the nearest city.

The battle began long ago.

The Tatar soldiers outside the city did not seem to be afraid of death, holding shields, waving siege ropes, and erecting siege ladders, attacking simultaneously from all sides, trying to climb into the city. The four city gates were also the focus of the attack, but the Tatar army had never had large siege equipment, and the slashing power of the cavalry alone was limited.

Thousands of soldiers of the Ming army in the city have all been on the battlefield, the archers on the city wall keep shooting arrows and throwing stones under the city, and the soldiers at the city gate have erected huge stones to block the city gate.

The Tatar army was assisted by rockets in the distance, like flying locusts. On the city wall, there are stars and rockets, and several flags have been ignited by rockets.

However, the arrows of the Ming army were not as powerful as the Tatar bows and arrows, although there were many Tatar soldiers who climbed the wall and did not avoid the stones and long arrows and fell into the city, but there were still Tatar soldiers who climbed the wall in twos and threes. Before they could stand firm, these people slashed wildly, like demon gods, and didn't care about the splashing blood.

To the north, ten zhang away, a gap had been opened by the enemy, and Tatar soldiers continued to rush up. Corpses piled up and blood flowed everywhere. The enemy is extremely fierce, and his hands are up and down, and those who come close are either killed or wounded. The Ming soldiers scattered and fired arrows far away, and almost no one dared to step forward to fight in close combat.

Nangong Jin avoided several waves of rockets, and saw at a glance more than a dozen enemies that had rushed up at the head of the city, so he casually picked up the big knife on the ground and went straight to the gap.

The Tatar soldiers who were rushing didn't seem to have thought that there would be Ming people who would dare to get close, and when they saw Nangong Jin rushing to kill, they slashed straight with their big swords. Suddenly, there was a flower in front of him, and he disappeared from his opponent, only to feel the blood gushing out and splash on his face with body temperature, and instantly a huge pain came from his right arm.

The figure flew, the sword light and blood shadow, and in about a quarter of an hour, although there were still enemies rushing up to the city wall from this gap, Nangong Jin simply suppressed this gap and did not expand.

The Ming soldiers seemed to be encouraged, some of them were bold enough to draw their knives to join the battle group, and some of them were smart, following behind Nangong Jin and specializing in mending their knives.

Gradually, the enemy was pressed back under the walls, but there was more than one gap in the walls.

Nangong Jin filled the gap all the way from north to south, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers gathered behind him to fight with him. Of course, they weren't the only ones at the head of the city to deal with the enemy forces rushing up the walls.

The fighting did not stop after noon, and more and more Ming troops were stimulated to be bloody and bravely raised their swords to meet the enemy. There was blood and stumps on the head of the city, and the enemy's rocket offensive was not broken, but the enemy was always blocked at the head of the city and could not rush into the city.

It wasn't until the afternoon that I finally heard the other party's horn and withdrew my troops! All the enemy troops who could retreat retreated, but what was chilling was that two miles away from the city was still a black and oppressive Tatar army. This time, it's just a temptation of the vanguard team?!

Nangong Jin stared at the Tatar army in the distance, and tightened the long knife in his hand, this was the first time he had changed.

"They retreated." A soldier beside him had excitement in his voice, and turned his head to ask Nangong Jin, "You are not bad, are you not injured?" ”

Nangong Jin looked back at the team behind him, everyone was bloody, but his face was full of excitement, and he shook his head with a smile, "No." What about you? Are you okay? ”

I don't know who said softly, "It's so tiring to kill people, and the old man who killed me is hungry." ”

First there were two or three sneers, and then the laughter seemed to infect everyone, and it was like hearing some amazing joke, a group of people laughed from small to loud, and even Nangong Jin followed along, and they couldn't stop.

"Nangong Jin?" In the distance, a young general walked up, dressed in armor, but the armor was covered with blood and knife marks. Just now, in a gap, the two teams cooperated.

Nangong Jin looked at him and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Ding Xionghui." The person who came gave a name, and said to everyone: "Clean up the battlefield, rest on the spot, and there will be a military doctor and meals delivered later." Wake up at night to prevent Tartars from sneaking up. Chao Nangong Jin said, "You come with me." ”

Outside the city, all the troops have been collected.

Habqik, Bozhigde, and all the leaders of the small divisions, more than a dozen people gathered in the Suzhig tent, and the fiery atmosphere was about to erupt.

"I just want to ask, is this battle going to be fought by my Habqik, or is it Altan Khan who wants to fight?!" Habqik's tone was not good.

After being silent for a long time, a small leader finally couldn't help it and asked, "Didn't you say that the White Lotus Sect took the lead?" What about people now? Why are we fighting every time? ”

After this person finished speaking, everyone present except Surig and Bozhigede shouted one after another. Habchik stared at Bozhige and Suzhige with fire in his eyes.

In this siege, these two divisions did not send a single soldier. Su Rige also explained before, saying that he was following the military orders of Zhao Yingfeng's commander and did not act rashly. And Bozhigde didn't answer everyone at all, and sat silently until now.

Habuqik said angrily: "If you hadn't refused to send troops, Tianchengwei would have been defeated a long time ago, and so many people would have died?!" Seeing that the two of them still didn't say a word, they scolded: "It's not your people who dare to die in love, don't you feel heartache?" ”

Bozhige glanced at him and said gloomily: "Everyone can fight the battle, but it seems that not everyone will listen to military orders." ”

Habchik jumped to his feet, "What the do you mean?!" Those Ming people poisoned our people, you shouldn't do anything?! Oh yes, you're all right......"

"Of course it's fine. The Han people have a saying, called 'weasel to the chicken New Year', and only you have a big heart. Bozhige didn't look at him, and said to himself.

As soon as Bozhigede's words fell, the leaders of the small divisions were silent, and for a moment, the eyes that looked at Habqik were full of doubts.

Habqik was choked by his words, and did not know what to say for a while.

Su Rige looked at everyone, after all, now that Zhao Yingfeng has not arrived, it is not good to cause infighting in various departments, so he became a peacemaker, "I will send a military doctor to show the wounded in a while, and I will also bring some wounded medicine or something, and share it with everyone." Originally, this battle was not wrong, but I didn't expect that the walls of Tianchengwei were higher and harder than other acropolis, and the city gates were also thick. If you want to fight again, everyone has to sum it up, and it's best to wait for Zhao Datong to arrive. In this way, there were many casualties among the various departments, and they all dispersed first. In the next few days, we will arrange again to see how to fight. ”

Hearing this, the small units with many wounded left one after another, and Bozhigede did not say anything, and followed. Only Suzhig and Habchik remained.

"How will you fight tomorrow?" Habqik asked.

Su Rige thought for a moment, "Or, as usual?" ”

Habqik didn't know if it was a sneer on his face, and he didn't say anything, and went straight out of the account.

In the watchtower of the main city, all the officers gathered, Liang Lie sat neatly in the middle, Huang Huanbiao was reporting the casualties, Ding Xionghui took Nangong Jin into and stood aside. Liang Lie didn't look at them, but after listening to everyone's reports, he quickly assigned tasks to prevent a sneak attack at night.

Liang Lie seemed to have only seen Nangong Jin who was still standing alone at this time, and looked up carefully, mixed with blood, and didn't know whose it was. "Ever fought?"

"I haven't defended the city."

Liang Lie was stunned and laughed. "Sure enough, he's used to killing people."

"You never get used to it." Nangong Jin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What does the Nangong family do?"

"Let's do business."

Liang Lie laughed again, "Your family is all doing business with their lives? ”

Nangong Jin seemed to think about it carefully, "It's not good, I don't know how they do it." ”

"Have you ever led a soldier?"

"This, it's hard to say."

"Hard to say?" Liang Lie said strangely: "Pick a simple one." ”

"The Nangong clan has twenty-three halls, and the family has given a few."

"The churches in the north are yours too?" Liang Lie was not unaware of the situation of the Nangong clan.

"For now."

Liang Lie nodded, "Tianchengwei has your people?" ”

Nangong Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Liang Lie was not disappointed, and directly ordered: "You heard what we said just now. Give you twenty people and do what you did today. In addition, attend the meeting as an observer and withdraw troops to the Tartars. There may be sneak attacks at night and you are ready to take shifts with them. Armor and weapons will be given to you later. As for the cooperation with the Nangong clan later, we will talk about it after the battle. ”

Chen Baishui hurriedly ate and was about to arrange the defenders at the four city gates, but was stopped by Lin Fei, who was full of anxiety. Lin Fei looked around and saw that Chen Baishui was the only one, so he lowered his voice and said, "General Chen, help!" ”

"Not dead yet, what to save!" Chen Baishui's eyes widened.

"I'm not dead now, I'm going to be soon." Lin Fei was in a hurry, "The grain and ......arrows that the boss wants, General Chen, you know, Curry ......." ”

"You're a quartermaster, what's in the library, how would I know?!" Chen Baishui wanted to get rid of him.

Lin Fei saw that Chen Baishui wanted to push it all again, and he was even more anxious, "General Chen, you, you, you ......, but as you said, the Tartars will not come for ten or eight years!" It's you who said that the total soldiers are all the way! ”

Not far away, a soldier ran by, and both of them stopped talking. After a while, Chen Baishui said angrily: "Okay, okay, how long can it last?" ”

"There are arrows, but there are no arrows. I sent them to the city to collect the used ....... ”

"That's not it." Chen Baishui made a fuss about him, "There is a blacksmith shop in the city, tell them to start work overnight, it's wartime, there's nothing to do." ”

"Yes, I have already called someone to give orders, but the iron is not enough......."

"Tell people to search from house to house, and there must be in the caravanserais. Don't ask me about such trivial things! "Chen Baishui is impatient.

Lin Fei saw that Chen Baishui was leaving, so he grabbed him, "Grain, it's food!" ”

"Grain? Didn't I make up so much last time! ”

Lin Fei jumped to his feet in a hurry, "Where is enough!" Curry already had no food, and the last time he made up for it, he only saved food for two or three days! Now, Iβ€”Where am Iβ€”I'm going to get food?! ”

"You won't do it again! You're a quartermaster, ask me about this kind of thing?! Chen Baishui pushed him away.

Lin Fei grabbed him desperately, "General Chen, you took away the grain and iron!" ”

"I told you a long time ago that I want you to fill in the ......," Chen Baishui shook him off.

"You can't do that!" Lin Fei was ruthless, "I, I will confess to the coach......"

Chen Baishui seemed to be afraid that he would sue, turned his head, looked at him and said, "Take advantage of the war now, you can recruit as many as there are in the city." In this situation, the surname Liang does not dare to do anything. ”

Lin Fei frowned, shook his head and stomped his feet.

Chen Baishui was impatient, "What are you afraid of!" How long do you think the Tartars will be! ”

"Then, what if the Tartars don't retreat for a few days?"

Chen Baishui said unquestionably: "Don't retreat? If you don't retreat, you will surrender in Kaesong! The Tartars have entered the city, and there is nothing left, what are you afraid of? ”

Lin Fei thought about it, as if what Chen Baishui said was right, and asked weakly: "Will the boss be lowered?" ”

"Why don't you drop? How can there be an Acropolis that is defended? After thinking about it, he felt that Liang Lie didn't seem to know much about the routine, and comforted: "When the time comes, I have a way to let him descend." You go to do yours first. ”

Lin Fei looked at his back as he walked away, with a bitter expression.
