Chapter 703: Unyielding Is Will (Fourth Update)

Recommended Reading: Xing Yike's words were light and domineering, and he secretly encouraged the officers and men of the three armies, and strived to make Zheng Jun have strong fighting spirit and strive to be invincible in the next battle, especially in close combat and hand-to-hand combat.

However, under the triple attack of the Song army's three-bow bed crossbows, stone throwers, and crossbow soldiers armed at the top of the siege tower, the situation did not improve, but worsened.

Anyone who comes out of Zheng Jun seems to have walked through the ghost gate, and there is nothing but difference between the two, and his life is in danger all the time.

However, as soon as the idea of forming a death squad was put forward by the adjutant general, many soldiers in the city wall took the initiative to remove the sleeve of their left arm to show their participation in the death squad.

For a time, many soldiers with their left arms exposed appeared in the city walls.

Many of these people had just tore off their sleeves to show their ambitions, and before they could plunge into the war, they were stoned or pierced on the spot by stones and spears flying from the air.

However, no matter how dangerous the situation in the city wall was, Zheng Jun still did not change his unyielding will.

Soon, the adjutant general came with 3,000 members of the death squad, among whom were veterans of a hundred battles and veterans who had been in the army for several months but had experienced several hard battles and vicious battles.

Among them are middle-aged men with iron beatings, there are also young people with immature faces, and there are many people, and there are many people, who look panicked, but they do not hesitate to participate in the death squad.

Xing Yike stared at the members of the death squad, full of emotion.

These people, regardless of their status or age, are all iron-clad men, and they are called the backbone of Zheng Guo, and they deserve it!

At this time, in the city wall, it was not clear, and suddenly shouted a sentence: Zheng Guonan is heroic, general, we are waiting for the enemy on the city wall today, and everyone is a member of the death squad. Rather than being slaughtered by the Song army, it is better for this city, advance and retreat together, live and die together, if we do not defeat the Song army, we would rather use blood to irrigate this city, this wall.

When the words came out, Xing Yike was deeply shocked when he heard it, the soldier is not afraid of death, why is he afraid!

With life and death, advance and retreat together, rather die than surrender, rather die than yield, rather die than retreat, people are in the city, people are dead in the city.

With life and death, advance and retreat together, rather die than surrender, rather die than yield, rather die than retreat, people are in the city, people are dead in the city.

With life and death, advance and retreat together, rather die than surrender, rather die than yield, rather die than retreat, people are in the city, people are dead in the city.

..............

The first sentence came out of someone's mouth, but after it was shouted, it was like a flame lighting dry wood, the second, the third.... All of a sudden, this sentence, as if there was some kind of magic power, spread all over the city, and then spread to the center of the people under the city wall, and then the people in the entire Shiyan City, regardless of men and women, old and young, rich and poor, the whole city was full of shouts.

It seems to be preached, and it is like an oath, only Xing Yike knows that this kind of cry from the bones is a unique way for Zheng Guoren to express his will for thousands of years.

Infected by the people, by Zheng Jun's bloody, loyal, and righteous atmosphere, Xing Yike couldn't help but murmur: "People are in the city, people are dead in the city, kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The shouts of killing sounded, and on the city wall, the members of the improvised death squad grabbed the clay pots on the ground and the fire oil contained in the wooden barrels, got up directly, smashed them, and threw them at the siege equipment of the Song army, which was only more than ten steps away from the city wall.

At the moment when they got up, the stones and spears that flew from a distance hit them mercilessly, and many people were killed by stones on the spot, stabbed to death by spears, and even some people, who had just thrown away the clay pot in their hands, or the wooden barrel full of fire oil, did not have time to see the scene of hitting the siege equipment of the Song army, so they were bloodied on the spot, or planted down the city wall, or fell on the city wall.

But the Zheng army still went forward and did not give in to the powerful siege equipment of the Song army.

For a while, in the corridor of the city wall, Zheng Jun suffered heavy casualties, just like in the previous roaring words, today's city wall, Shiyan City, the city is full of death squad members, they are working hard, persevering, alternating, one after the other.

In the city wall, the Zheng army's attack on the Song army has never stopped!

Outside the city wall, the Song army's offensive was also very fierce! It seems that the more persistent and powerful Zheng Jun is, the more fierce their offensive will be.

Meng Kuo stood on the top of the treadmill and witnessed the offensive of the Song army, but he did not break the city for a long time, he was anxious and happy.

It is his honor to be able to fight against a famous general like Xing Yike, and he still leads the army to resist stubbornly in a difficult situation, and he also has the pleasure of a master's move.

However, hearing Zheng Jun's screams in the city, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

After fighting with Zheng Jun many times, he understood what Zheng Jun was going to do, although the vassal states were not fighting righteously, Zheng Jun's actions still made him feel moved.

With such an opponent, he is unlucky, but also lucky!

He and Xing Yike have never met, but they can't help but have thoughts of heroic sympathy.

I couldn't help but stand up, take a few steps forward, stand in the treadmill, closest to the city wall, and pay full attention to the situation on the battlefield, which can be regarded as respect for the enemy.

Zheng Jun was not afraid of life and death, poured fire oil on the siege equipment of the Song army, when the city wall was inside, the torches thrown out were connected with the fire oil, and those huge equipment were instantly on fire, but more in the siege tower, the Song army, after the siege tower and the ladder were built, began to quickly go towards the city wall and began to seize control of Shiyan City.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xing Yike quickly drew his battle knife, raised it high and roared and shouted, "Revenge, revenge!" ”

Revenge, revenge!

Instantly, in the city wall, a shout sounded again.

At this moment, glory and wealth, marquis and worship, fair beauty, nothing can ignite the anger in Zheng Jun's heart more than revenge,

Especially in the previous long-distance battle, when the Zheng army did not have the slightest advantage, the Song army rushed up in order to capture the city, not knowing whether to live or die, so that the Zheng army, which had suffered great grievances and paid a heavy price, broke out in an instant and fought directly with the Song army.

The longbow in the hands of the archers shot faster, and the crossbowmen controlled the crossbows seemed to be more accurate, and the soldiers who were injured and had no time to be carried down, saw the Song army on the city wall, and they didn't know where they got the strength, they jumped suddenly, jumped directly off the city with the other party, and fell to the ground heavily, dragging a Song soldier to death.

For many times, the first wave of Song troops who climbed the city wall were all wiped out in a short period of time, and without exception, all of them died tragically, and the methods of death were different.

On the city wall, under the city wall, in the cloud ladder, and in the siege tower, it is full of corpses of the Song and Zheng armies, layer upon layer, countless.

As the saying goes, the method of attacking the city, five times the siege, ten times the attack, Meng Kuo vainly tried to use 100,000 mechanical soldiers to forcibly capture Shiyan City and defeat the Zheng army, but unfortunately, the first wave, the second wave, and the third wave ......

The war began in the early morning, and at noon, when the Song Dynasty began, Yuan Muchun arrived with reinforcements, joined the army one after another, attacked other city gates, and then at sunset, in a seemingly advantageous situation, although the Zheng army caused incalculable casualties, it still did not capture Shiyan City, on the contrary, the Song army's casualties were also unprecedentedly serious.

More importantly, after paying a heavy price, the Zheng army not only did not retreat, but because of the killing of a large number of Song troops, the momentum greatly increased.

Moreover, the people in Shiyan City seem to be ready to live and die with the city.

Many family patriarchs directly contributed all the dead soldiers, retainers, and guardians raised by their families to the city walls.

Although there were hundreds of thousands of Zheng troops in Shiyan City, and there was no shortage of soldiers, in the midst of heavy casualties, a steady stream of replenishment arrived, which really stabilized Zheng Jun's mind.

Although they have long realized that today's battle is not a collision between the Zheng army and the Song army, but a confrontation between the people of a city and the Song army.

The people in the city were not killed or wounded, and the Song army did not want to take the city.

As the Song army began to capture the city, the stone throwing team behind the Song army quickly stopped attacking, if the attack continued, it was very likely to be injured by mistake and seriously injured the Song army.

Under the sunset, looking at the city wall of Shiyan City, which was irrigated by blood, the corpses of the Song and Zheng armies were piled up under the city wall, and the siege equipment was held in smoke.

Meng Kuo stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, his expression full of exhaustion and anxiety.

It stands to reason that it is easy for the Song army to rely on siege equipment to climb the city wall, and it is easier to enter the city, but to defeat those Zheng troops who play with their lives, the Song army does not know how many times to launch attacks, how many to rush into the city wall, in the corridor, set off hand-to-hand combat, but was repulsed by the Zheng army again and again.

Looking at the sharply reduced soldiers and burned chariots around him, in desperation, Meng Kuo informed Song Qi and Yuan Muchun that when the last bit of the sun disappeared on the side of the mountain, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

Today's siege, the Song army's ordnance is very strong, the fighting spirit is very strong, and they go forward one after another, vowing to go down to Shiyan City more.

Helplessly, Zheng Jun was even more ruthless in the city wall, not only playing with his life, but also becoming a child's play in order to protect Shiyan City.

Those who can't prevent it will end up together, and they will hurt each other unexpectedly,

When encountering this kind of madman, it seems that Zheng Jun and Song Jun are fierce, but they can't withstand a long-term death battle, with strong armaments, not to mention that they don't have many advantages, and they also seriously lose their troops and generals.

In a single one-day battle, the Song army lost at least nearly 100 siege equipment and 60,000 or 70,000 elite soldiers.

Meng Kuo led the Mechanical Corps, as the main attack force, it is no wonder that he is not depressed and annoyed.

Under the darkness of the night, the siege armies from all walks of life returned to the camp one after another, Song Qi and Yuan Muchun walked into the military tent in bloody clothes, Song Qi's face was violent, and his words were full of murderous spirit: "What the hell, these damn things." ”

He led the soldiers of the crossbow battalion to launch an attack from the north gate, thinking that the Zheng army's attention was attracted by the mechanical troops at the west gate, and it was easy to take advantage of the chaos to seize the north and take the opportunity to enter Shiyan City, but unfortunately it was repulsed many times, and the Zheng army, which refused to defend the city, did not suffer much damage.

Zheng Jun is still the same Zheng Jun as before, and Song Jun has not changed, but unfortunately, he can't gnaw on this hard bone.

Next to him, Yuan Muchun led the trap camp to attack the south gate, but still did not achieve any benefits, twisted the blood on the robe, licked the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and said helplessly: "What kind of war is this, this is simply killing with a group of demons, continue to attack, the Song army will lose more, and it may not be possible to capture Xiangshiyan City." ”
