Chapter 421: Proud Peerless Forging Army Soul Fifteen
Just when Xia Yuantu was tired of facing the attack of the First Corps of the Japanese Invaders, suddenly a horn sounded from under the city, and the neighing of countless war horses came.
Before the words fell, the howl sounded again, and he glanced at the city, Xia Yuantu commanded expressionlessly: "It seems that the enemy wants to fight quickly, and even the Third Corps of the Japanese Invaders has been dispatched, and the order is to go down and fight with all the arms." ”
"What...... What the? Hearing Xia Yuantu's words, He Xiuping ran to the edge of the city wall and looked down, only to see that the 10 million soldiers of the two corps of the Japanese Invaders were surging towards the direction of the city wall like a violent wind and waves, and there were all the soldiers and horses of the Japanese Invaders as far as the eye could see.
Seeing the Japanese invaders coming in the direction of the city wall, He Xiuping's frightened face turned pale, he didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and turned his gaze to Xia Yuantu in a panic: "Lord Wang, do we really want to fight the Japanese invaders?" It's too late to evacuate, if it's too late......"
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Xia Yuantu waving his hand, patting He Xiuping's shoulder with his hand, Xia Yuantu said in a deep voice: "You have been following this king for more than ten years, I miss you, you are a weak scholar, but you followed me from birth and death in the barracks, it is difficult for you."
This king knows what you mean, but this king can't retreat, I am the royal prince of the Xia Dynasty, at this moment the Japanese invade the king's house, if even I, the prince, are so frightened that I abandon the city and flee for my life, what face do we have to call on the soldiers to defend the country?
At this time when the survival of the country is at stake, how can I care about my own safety? At this time, this king is not fighting for the second brother, nor is he preserving his strength for the eldest brother, nor is he helping the fourth brother to defend against the enemy, but this king is fighting for the millions of Li people in Hexi Mansion and for the Jiangshan Sheji of my Xia Dynasty.
Although you are full of poetry and books, but you have a weak temperament, this place is indeed not suitable for you, while the two major corps of the Japanese have not yet arrived, you should withdraw quickly, I remember that you want to be a private school teacher, after leaving, you can go to realize your dreams. ”
After listening to Xia Yuantu's words, He Xiuping was stunned for a moment, he put away the fear on his face, picked up a spear from the ground, and said with emotion: "Lord Wang, although Weichen is afraid of death, he also knows what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are. ”
When the words fell, He Xiuping held the spear in his hand with both hands, ran towards the city without looking back, and came to the city gate, he called out to the generals of the army, and roared in a loud tone, The city is in the people, and the city is broken and the people are dead. Although he has no power to restrain the chicken, he has the heart to serve the country and kill the enemy, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. ”
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. It's a big deal to die for the country, so why not be afraid ......"
After He Xiuping finished roaring, the commanders and soldiers on the scene all raised their weapons and roared loudly, and the morale that was originally a little low because of the siege of the three major corps of the Japanese was instantly ignited, and he raised his spear and roared several times, He Xiuping clenched his fists with both hands, bowed to bow, and performed the highest etiquette of a literati with a solemn expression on the long journey of Xia.
Looking at He Xiuping's actions, Xia Yuantu put down his sword, also hugged his fists and bowed back, after getting up, He Xiuping showed a smile towards Xia Yuantu, and then led his troops to meet the enemy outside the city, looking at his indomitable figure, Xia Yuantu slowly closed his eyes, he and He Xiuping both knew that this time, I am afraid that they will never come back.
Seeing off He Xiuping, an old friend who had assisted him for many years, Xia Yuantu stood on the city wall with a heavy heart, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. While using shields to fend off arrows fired by the Wakos, while cutting the hooks and locks along the wall with swords, and directing the legions to resist the attack of the Wakos, the pressure on the Guards suddenly increased as the 2nd and 3rd Legions of the Wako joined the battlefield.
……
Under the city wall, the originally calm and calm Nakamoto Sakurako gradually became a little anxious, at this time it had been an hour and a half since they attacked the city, but in the face of the crazy attack of their three corps, the officers and soldiers of the battle guards defending the city did not retreat an inch, Nakajima Ichiro They have already killed several groups of battle guards, but this wave of battle guards has just been sacrificed, and the next wave of battle guards has made up for it.
In the face of the extraordinary performance of the soldiers of the war guards, the Japanese had to avoid their edge, although the Japanese had climbed the city wall several times with their strength advantage, but they had not had time to gain a firm foothold, they were recaptured by the war guards, so the city wall is still under the control of the war guards.
The offensive and defensive battles have been fought until now, and there is only one group army left on Xia Yuantu's side, and although there are many people on the Japanese side, in the face of the battle guard soldiers who are not afraid of death, they have also lost four group armies, and their casualty rate and the battle guard army have reached one to one, this is the first time in all battles, every battle in the past is the battle guard loses, this time it was actually a draw.
"Who is the commander of the opposing city? How powerful is it? Nakamoto Sakurako praised her work from the bottom of her heart, and then turned her head to Matsushita Jingqiu, the commander of the Fourth Corps beside her, and ordered: "Look at this posture, Nakajima Ichiro and they can't take Hexi Mansion for the time being, so your corps should also go up, remember, in half an hour, I will stand on the opposite wall." ”
Xia Yuantu was already injured at this moment, his left hand was cut twice by the Japanese Kou, his cheek was pierced by the Japanese Kou's spear, his right hand was cut off by the Japanese Kou's hook, there were still four arrows stuck in his left leg at the moment, his right leg was broken by the Japanese Kou's shield, and he had just been shot with two more arrows, and now he was leaning on the edge of the city wall and pulling out the arrow to stop the bleeding.
On the edge of the city wall opposite him, which had been stained red by blood and flesh at this time, he had just eliminated a group of Japanese infantry, but the other party immediately erected the ladder, and in the blink of an eye, the edge of the city wall was full of ladders side by side, and countless soldiers were climbing up the ladder, many of them had already exposed their bodies, and they were about to jump into the corridor of the city wall in two steps.
Although the war guards in the corridor are desperately low-grade those widows, but the opponent's troops are too much, they can't cope at all, although everyone saw that the widows were coming up, but there was no way, just when everyone was about to exchange their lives with the widows who jumped into the corridor, suddenly, all the ladders were crooked, and those widows also fell.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yuantu breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know what was going on? But he knew that the city wall had escaped just now, because once the Japanese invaders climbed up the corridor of the city wall, the city of Hexi Mansion was in danger of being taken away by the Japanese invaders, and when Xia Yuantu was secretly rejoicing, a division commander limped to him:
"Lord Wang, congratulations...... Lord He was martyred, he destroyed all the ladders on the city wall before he died, in fact, he was able to escape just now, but Lord He saw that the city wall was in danger of being lost, gave up his chance to escape, and led the death squad to destroy the ladder of the Japanese invaders, although he solved the danger of the city wall, but Lord He was hacked to death by the Japanese with a knife. ”
