Chapter 484: Luck has run out

"Hey, hit or miss!"

"You ask me, who am I going to ask, I just see that there is a mess over there!"

"Hey, that group of dead soldiers who went out of the city to meet the battle are really good, if they hadn't created that opportunity, we might not have had the opportunity to fire a salvo just now! They are all good men, if only they could come back alive! ”

"That's almost a mortal thing, how can they survive, but they are all heroes!"

"Don't be verbose, hurry up and prepare the gunpowder first!" Seeing the two firecrackers whispering there, Zhou Bailing angrily rewarded one of them on the back of the neck, and then shouted angrily, then turned his head and grinned at Zhang Yue, "This time, the newly created spear is a good one, but the strength is too great, and I am all veterans who have come in since the formation of the Divine Machine Battalion, and as a result, several arrows must have missed!" It's a good thing to shoot far, but it's too demanding for human eyesight! ”

Zhang Yue looked into the distance, and saw that the siege vehicle was already rotten, he couldn't help but admire the cavalry Dasheng who risked his life to attack, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his clenched fists unconsciously let go, "If it weren't for the elite of the Shenji Battalion accompanying me this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have used these things even if I brought them." After all, it is the first time to use it, although it is impossible to see who was shot, but if the arrow is quenched with poison as you said, then the person who is hit by the arrow will not be lucky, and there is finally some result......"

Before a word could be spoken, a loud cheer suddenly came from the city. Zhang Yue hurriedly raised his head, and immediately saw the siege team that had been densely surging up retreated like a tide. After being slightly stunned, he suddenly realized that he was afraid that he had really knocked down some big man just now, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but the corners of his mouth twitched but he couldn't laugh.

Retreated! It looks as if the offensive that could drown out Xinghe at any moment is over!

The sun after the snow was originally soft and weak, but now everyone standing under the sun felt that the sun was unusually warm on their bodies. The sword players at the head of the city threw away their shields that they had been holding tightly in their hands, the soldiers who had been replaced in the fort were happily rubbing their firearms in their hands, and the archers who sat on the ground rubbed their sore arms vigorously...... The only thing that is the same is that everyone has a smile on their faces for the rest of their lives.

When he came down the stairs of the city wall, Zhang Yue still felt as if his legs were filled with lead. Wang Zhao really did what he said, and at first he couldn't help but drive him into the arrow tower, saying that civil officials don't need to fight like military attachés. But seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the old marshal immediately pulled him out without saying a word, and hurriedly went to Zheng Pingyuan to discuss. Because Zhou Bailing was training those rookie firecrackers at that time, he, the person with the highest rank at that time, had to take responsibility. In addition to facing the rain of knives and arrows, you also have to face the heavy pressure that comes on your face.

Fortunately, it finally held on!

Most of the earthen walls of Xinghe Fort are only three zhang high, and when the battle was fiercest before, many Tartars were on the city wall, and several wall battlements were almost filled with flesh and blood, and the dense rain of arrows was not small. At this moment, walking all the way in the fort, Zhang Yue saw several captains counting the dead and wounded, and saw a corpse that had become cold. He didn't know how many people had seen and spoken yesterday, but as he passed by the vegetable patch, he saw the middle-aged soldier lying on a corpse and weeping bitterly. In the end, he had to step up, and his heart was gloomy.

"Zheng Qianhu, what is this doing?"

"Master Xiao Zhang, do you know where Wang Dushuai has gone, I can't find anyone when I look for it!"

When he arrived at the east gate, he happened to see Zheng Pingyuan losing his temper in front of several military households, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, but when he opened his mouth, he asked an inexplicable question, so he frowned: "Didn't the first king Dushuai go to you to discuss how to defend?" Later, I heard that he was organizing the dead to prepare to go out of the city and destroy the siege vehicle, and now people are always in this Xinghe Fort, how can they not find it? ”

I thought that Zhang Yue knew at least something, but at this time, seeing that the confused look on Zhang Yue's face didn't look like he was pretending, Zheng Pingyuan suddenly chuckled in his heart, and the originally faint rumor suddenly turned over in his mind. Holding back his fear, he arched his hand to Zhang Yue, and was about to look for it again, when a sergeant next to him suddenly made a noise.

"When the West Gate was opened before, I seemed to see that Wang Dushuai was also in that cavalry, but the outfit seemed to be different."

Hearing this simple single sentence, everyone around was taken aback. Zhang Yue didn't expect it at all, Zheng Pingyuan thought about it but couldn't believe it, and the others were also surprised and puzzled. Zhang Yue, who was the first to react, immediately stepped forward, and after asking carefully, he was sure that this person was only seen from a distance and was not clear, but even so, since Zheng Pingyuan had searched the entire Xinghe Fort and couldn't find anyone, then the matter was seven or eight points accurate.

Zheng Pingyuan's heart was completely messed up, when he was in Xuanfu, he was used to seeing those bosses who were jealous of the virtuous and jealous of their self-serving, and at first he thought that Wang Zhao was stubborn and wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he would never think like this again at this time. The siege vehicle was destroyed, but if it was really Wang Zhao who led the dead to attack, this trip would definitely be more than lucky. I heard that the western wall used a magic spear to shoot the important people in the Tartars, if Wang Zhao personally went into battle and destroyed the siege vehicle, what was he, a thousand households, doing?

"Old Dushuai, what's the trouble...... It should be me if you want to go up, how can he do such a dangerous thing without saying a word! Damn, I'm damn it...... I should have thought that unlike those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, he will not just let others die......"

Seeing Zheng Pingyuan muttering to himself and losing his soul, Zhang Yue really couldn't help it, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to mention what should be killed or not, Zheng Qianhu should not forget his duty!" Since this time it was the Arutai army that attacked, there are only two possibilities now. First, the siege engine was destroyed, and the sharpshooter just shot an important Tatar figure, and as soon as this man died, the army naturally retreated; The second is that although this person is very important, he is not the head of the army, and the enemy has a reason to take Xinghe. Now it's back for now, but it's coming back soon. While I'd love to see the first possibility, I'm more wary of the second! If it was really Wang Dushuai who led his troops to attack before, then he would definitely not want this Xinghe Fort to miss the slightest! ”

Suddenly coming back to his senses from that muddy mood, Zheng Pingyuan immediately realized that the matter was not over yet, and it was uncertain whether the Tartar would retreat. Gritting his teeth and leaving Wang Zhao's life and death behind for the time being, he opened his mouth and said, "Since this is the case, then I can only ask Lord Xiao Zhang." Or I am east and you are west, and you and I are half of the army and horses. It's all come to this point, even if you fight everything, you can't let Xinghe lose it. ”

In the evening, when Xinghe Fort had just finished cleaning up the mess and was resurrected in the afterglow of the setting sun, a bell that was more urgent than the previous warnings suddenly rang throughout the fort. The moment he heard the bell, Zhang Yue couldn't help but look up at the sky. In the chaos of the army, his luck is good, but now it seems that his luck has run out!
