Chapter 134: White Tiger God
Chapter 134: White Tiger God
Under the command of Yelu Xiuke, the second wave of Liao soldiers had set up a cloud ladder and began to attack the city wall of the south gate.
Jiang Shang was still relatively prescient, and replaced all the soldiers brought by Jin Mingyin with the infantry of the regimental training battalion, and fought with the Liao army who wanted to climb the city wall.
It's just that the already low Chengdu city wall was bombarded by Yeluxiu with such a series of cannons, and the female wall has been damaged in many places, so that the defenders of the city have nowhere to hide, not only to fight hard to kill the Liao soldiers who climbed up through the ladder, but also to always watch out for the arrows shot up from the city.
As a result, although the city wall was still under the control of the Xia army, it paid a lot of casualties.
Jiang Shang also quickly discovered this problem, so he ordered the defenders on the city wall not to be entangled in the battle for the battlements, but to pull the battle line back and retreat to the city wall to engage in a tug-of-war with the Liao army, so that at least they would not be wantonly killed by the precise arrows under the city.
But in any case, the city wall can not be lost, once the city wall is completely controlled by the Liao army, then the Liao people will take advantage of the height of the city wall, launch round after round of arrow rain in the city, really at that time, even the gods can not guard the south gate.
"Bang bang bang!"
Jiang Yun and Jin Mingyin, who returned to the trench pit, commanded the Chinese military camp and began to show the power of firearms to the Liao soldiers who rushed into the city, and the three revolvers spit out this tongue of fire almost simultaneously in the direction of the city gate, and the guns on the side were holding fire guns to carry out precise strikes on the Liao soldiers who were twisted together with the regimental training camp.
Jiang Shang stood motionless outside the big tent of the Chinese army like a sculpture, staring closely at the situation on the battlefield at the South Gate, and standing behind him was the last remaining two thousand regiments training camp in his hand.
Although they had not yet entered the battlefield, these sergeants behind them were still inevitably shocked by the battle in front of them, holding their swords and guns tightly one by one, and their palms were overflowing with beads of sweat.
"Brother Zhuzi, are we going to go?"
A slightly thin sergeant, standing in front of the team, touched the arm of the tall man next to him without a trace,
The tall foot soldier was obviously nervous, holding the steel gun tightly in one hand and a reddish-pink embroidered lotus in the other, and responded, "Yes....... Yes, you see the people in front of us are running out, and we're going to go. ”
As soon as the pillar said this, the little man was not lightly frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then...... Are we going to die? My mother pointed out that I would take a daughter-in-law back next year! ”
"What are you afraid of!"
The pillar cheered him up, and at the same time he cheered himself up, and the owner of the embroidered lotus in his hand was not looking forward to his safe return,
"The land of Sichuan and Shu has the protection of the White Tiger God, and we will not die! It's the Liao people who broke into my territory, damn it's them! ”
The White Tiger God is a totem of belief in the hearts of the people of Sichuan and Shu, and it is rumored that the ancestor of the Ba people, Lijun, was transformed into a white tiger guarding this country of abundance.
Therefore, in the Sichuan of the Great Xia Dynasty, you can see a lot of temples are enshrined in a statue of a man in white with a majestic apparatus, the people of Shu believe that this is the incarnation of the White Tiger God, and everyone is willing to believe that the reason why the land of Sichuan and Shu has been peaceful for hundreds of years, is afraid of the blessing of the White Tiger God.
The little man listened to what Brother Zhuzi said, and was also trying to calm down his nervous and frightened mood, one hand caressed the jade pendant carved with the White Tiger God hanging on his neck, kissed it lightly on his lips, closed his eyes tightly, and silently prayed in his heart for the arrival of the White Tiger God.
The white tiger god doesn't know when it will come, but the regimental training camp under the city is about to run out.
Almost every fire gun in the Chinese military camp in the trench pit is already red in the chamber, and it is still spraying flames at the Liao soldiers who are getting closer and closer to themselves, two of the three revolvers have been unable to fire projectiles because the chamber is overheated, and they are poured out of the chamber with cold water by Jin Mingyin back and forth, and the red chamber tube instantly converts the cold water into water vapor with its own high temperature, accompanied by the smell of blood, floating in the air,
The defenders led by Jiang Tianhao on the city wall are still fighting hard, but they have also shown a decline, from Jiang Shang's point of view, the figure of the Liao soldiers can already be seen, indicating that most of the positions on the wall are controlled by the Liao army.
"Boom!"
Jiang Shang finally pulled out the sword at his waist and threw all the only more than 2,000 people behind him into the battlefield.
Jiang Ruyue looked at the tragic form, and already felt that the defenders were gradually powerless, and said to Jiang Shang worriedly: "General Jiang, there are more than 1,500 people in the other three gates, pull them all over!" ”
Jiang Shang frowned and couldn't make up his mind, if he gathered all the people from the other gates, in case Yelu Xiuke outside the city still had a hand, then the east, west, and north gates would be no different from opening directly to the Liao people.
He gritted his teeth: "Wait a little longer! ”
More than 700 of them climbed the city wall to support Jiang Tianhao in accordance with the instructions of Jiang Shang, the regimental training envoy.
As soon as he and the little sergeant climbed up the stairs of the city wall, they saw that the Liao army, which kept climbing the female wall, had been inseparable from the defenders on the wall.
Without saying a word, the two of them picked up the steel gun in their hands and joined the battle group!
"Boom!"
The small sergeant, who was already not tall, was even less powerful in front of the tall Khitans, and the steel spear that stood up and stabbed straight away was also pushed away by the Liao soldiers with a scimitar, and then raised the blade and slashed towards him.
The little man was so frightened that he sat on the ground, desperately trying to retreat, but he couldn't try half the strength on his legs, seeing that Liao Bing's scimitar was about to cut in front of him, his arm subconsciously raised forward to protect his face,
"Die!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout,
The Liao soldiers suddenly felt pain, screamed and fell backwards,
It turned out that the pillar that came from the side had just smashed a spear horizontally, and hit the Liao soldier in the lower abdomen, and then to the Liao soldier who fell to the ground, he raised the tip of the spear and stabbed it, and nailed him to the ground through the chest of the Liao soldier!
"Are you alright?"
The little man lowered his arm when he heard the sound, only to see the pillar that had killed the Liao people and then stretched out his hands to pull himself up,
"Brother Pillar!" He cried out for joy,
But the look of excitement on his face was replaced by a wave of horror,
"Watch your back!"
Rao is pillar is agile, or he couldn't react, and was smashed on the waist by an elbow by a Liao soldier who attacked behind him.
The back of the pillar was in pain, he gasped twice, and hurriedly held the wall with his hand, and the steel gun in his hand couldn't hold it and threw it aside.
The Liao soldier didn't know why he didn't have a knife in his hand, so he directly clenched his fists and pounced, leaning on the pillar next to the wall and falling to the ground, and the two of them rolled around and scuffled together.
The little man hurriedly got up, picked up the steel gun of the pillar in his hand, and was about to find an opportunity to stab it fiercely.
But the Liao soldiers and the pillar were entangled together, so he couldn't make a move.
When the pillar saw the steel gun in his hand, he already knew it, he grabbed the armor of the Liao people with both hands, ensuring that he was under him, and then saw the opportunity to curl his legs, and according to the lower abdomen of the Liao soldier, he came to a rabbit to kick the eagle, and kicked him out three or five steps.
Then one rolled over and rolled to the side of the little man, and stabbed with him with a steel gun at the Liao soldiers who had not yet stood firm!
"Ahh
The two of them shouted and used all their strength, so that the tip of the spear pierced the body of the Liao soldier and did not stop, and they pushed him off the city wall before stopping.
With the Liao people who fell, let the pillar also see the city under the city like a tide constantly beating the fragile city wall of Chengdu and the Liao soldiers who came up one after another, this face made his heart can't help but come up with a touch of fear, with the feeling of detachment after the fierce fight just now, suddenly his legs were weak, and he was paralyzed on the city wall.
"Look!"
The little man next to him pointed out of the city, with a surprised expression on his face,
Zhuzi thought that he was also surprised to see the sea of Liao soldiers, so he didn't care, who knew that the expression on the little man's face was getting more and more excited, and he was speechless with excitement when he looked outside the city.
He hurriedly turned around and looked in the direction pointed by the little man outside the city, and saw a brightly armored cavalry in the distance, which was quickly forming an arrow formation, rushing towards Jeruxiuke's army formation!
The pillar recognized that this cavalry was wearing the military uniform of the officials and soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the first one in white clothes and plain robes rode on a high-headed horse in jujube, as if the gods had descended to earth, raised the sword in his hand, and led the cavalry behind him to plunge into the military formation of Yeluxiuke like a sharp sword.
For a while, I saw the sword light rising and the sword shadow waving, and the Liao army, which was caught off guard, was rushed by them, and with the advantage of the war horse, the army formation where Yelu Xiuke was located was split in half!
"That's ...... That's ......."
Seeing everything in this eye, the pillar was also excited and his eyes were about to pop out!
What is that?
Of course, our garrison is at ease!
The pioneer battalion with Pei Zhenfeng traveled day and night, rushing towards Chengdu!
On the way, I received news that Yelu Xiuke actually chose the south gate for the main attack, and An Yi, who never stopped all the way, took the pioneer battalion to bypass the north gate and kill it.
The appearance of comfort surprised Jeruxiuke too!
Tuoba Yin was placed by An Yi in the first line of heaven, and went around to the front of the official road and ran into Wu Yi's heavy cavalry, so his letter to Yelu Huke could not determine An Yi's movements at all.
Although Yelu Xiuke was also wary, he never expected An Yi to kill when the fierce battle was in full swing on this front line!
"The White Tiger God is here! It's the White Tiger God! ”
An Yi was dressed in a plain brocade robe, like the god carved on the jade pendant on the chest of the little man, and also like the savior who only existed in the legend in his heart, he was ecstatic and pointed to the pioneer camp in the distance and shouted,
The pillar beside him was also infected by this kid, and when he swept away the look of despair just now, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and nodded at him violently: "Yes! White Tiger God! The White Tiger God has come to our rescue! ”
Jiang Tianhao next to him had just pulled out the saber from the chest of the Liao people, splashing blood all over his face, he turned his head to look at the two excited soldiers, with a question mark on his face, he didn't know what these two madmen were shouting nonsense in their mouths, when he raised his head and looked into the distance, his face was also instantly full of ecstasy,
Where is this white tiger god, obviously he is back in comfort!
However, of course Jiang Tianhao knew that for Xia Jun, who was already on the verge of collapse, the title in Zhuzi's mouth was more encouraging.
Then he also turned into the madman in his mouth just now, raised the sword that stood on the blood, and shouted loudly to the defenders who were still fighting around him:
"Look! White Tiger God! It's the White Tiger God here! We will win! Kill! ”
The appearance of the cavalry of the vanguard battalion undoubtedly gave these dejected soldiers a shot in the arm, and this extremely inflammatory slogan seemed to carry this guardian saint of the land of Sichuan Mansion on An Yi's body at this moment, making him appear to have a fierce and incomparable white tiger shadow on his plain brocade robe to show his sharp claws to the army of the Liao people! Instilled the invincible power of the White Tiger in the blade of every Xia army,
"White Tiger God! It's really the White Tiger God! It's our White Tiger God! Kill!! Drive the Liao people out! ”
Every defender on the city wall was excited, as if the belief in victory was like a prairie fire, at this moment it was burning in the hearts of every Xia army, so that the defenders who had just been suppressed were full of fighting spirit for a while, and they used all their strength to wave the war knife, which was bound to drive the alien race in front of them out of this place protected by the White Tiger God!
Suddenly, the morale of the Xia army was greatly boosted, and soon occupied the initiative on the city wall again, and pushed the Liao people's battle line back to the city wall again step by step.
That exhilarating momentum made Jiang Shangdu, who was standing in the city, notice, and he felt that the defense line on the city wall that was still crumbling just now suddenly gave him a sense of solidity, and also made him hesitate to take the risk of suppressing the other three defenders The idea of completely taking it back.
"Bell!"
The sound of weapons resonating was endless, and Yelu Xiuke hurriedly commanded his Liao soldiers to seal the gap, stabilize the position, and control the situation that had been somewhat dispersed to the greatest extent.
Originally, according to his train of thought, the about seven or eight thousand people who were now besieging the city were newly replaced, and the men and horses who had retreated after attacking last night had already withdrawn from the camp, and in fact there were only hundreds of cavalry around him,
The two thousand men and horses led by An Yi and Pei Zhenfeng rushed unexpectedly, and the Liao army, which was brave and good at fighting, was also a little unbearable, if it wasn't for Yelu Xiuke's command, I am afraid that it would have been rushed.
An Yi grabbed Pei Zhenfeng beside him, and pointed to Yelu Xiuke, who was commanding the Chinese army in the distance,
"Mr. Pei, you bring someone to intervene in the past, entangle Yelu Xiuke for me, don't let him be in the center to dispatch and command, I think of a way to let the Liao army outside the city retreat, we will enter the city and not do fighting!"
"Understood!"
Pei Zhenfeng nodded at the one or twenty horsemen beside him, and then ran towards Yelu Xiuke.
Then An Yi also took the cavalry beside him, turned his horse's head and killed the Fran cannon he had just noticed not far away.
