Chapter 1057: Scuffle
In the eastern city, the battle did not weaken because of the late night, but intensified. Dai Shulun came to the front line in person to supervise the battle, at this time, he already felt faintly bad in his heart, unexpected things one after another, had gradually exceeded his control, and the large-scale intervention of the Ming people made him feel that a catastrophe was coming.
It seems that Akito knew what he wanted to do from the beginning.
It is now clear that Ke Zhen, the guard of the East Gate, must have already taken refuge in the Ming people, otherwise it is difficult to explain why there are so many of the latest weapons of the Ming army in his army, and it is these weapons that inflict great casualties on the attacking Qin army.
In terms of troops, Dai Shulun still has a great advantage, more than 10,000 garrisons in the city, after the main generals have been killed, have been successfully controlled by Li Zhongfa and others, the soldiers are the most easily instigated, and blood will make them lose their last sanity.
But for the attack on Dongcheng, it did not go well.
From the initial fight to He Weiping's regression, to the current stalemate between the two sides, the closer to the east gate, the greater the enemy's resistance will be, it is obvious that the other party is determined to pay attention to the east gate.
Now what Dai Shulun is most worried about is the sudden intervention of the Ming army, and He Weiping's behavior of guarding the east gate and not retreating even if he suffers heavy casualties makes Dai Shulun even more clear, they are insisting, they are waiting, and what is waiting, so do you need to say?
This made him extremely angry, if He Weiping lost the east gate and fled, he would not even go to pursue, because what he had to do was to immediately gather all the soldiers and horses, retreat into the Tiger Prison Pass, and take all defensive measures to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.
But the problem is that if Dongcheng can't be taken now, it is equivalent to leaving a huge flaw in the majestic Tiger Prison City, once the Ming army arrives, it can directly enter the city from Dongcheng, and at that time, everything will be over.
Dai Shulun will not have time to integrate the army of the Tiger Prison. Until now, the only army he could fully control was the 10,000 defenders in the city. And the left and right camps outside the city, so far, he has not received any news. If Yang Yaxiong and Liao Jing could control the soldiers and horses of the two large battalions outside the city, then things would be much easier.
Wang Wei appeared in front of him with Deng Shu, leaving Dai Shulun dumbfounded.
"Tang Qiang is gone!" Wang Weitu died and the fox was sad, "We were attacked by the Ming people, and it was Yang Zhi who led the team." Lord Dai, you must have made a plan in advance, the Ming people are in the Tiger Prison City, and they are afraid of infiltrating a large number of people. ”
"Master Dai, not to mention Yang Zhi's own martial arts, the key is that the people he brought are quite strong, they are not ordinary Jianghu figures, but a small-scale army." The Qin general Chang Zhirong, who led the team to rescue Wang Wei and Deng Shu, had a sad face, although it was only a glimpse, but the strong strength shown by the other party made him secretly frightened. "Such a force lurks behind us, and may launch a surprise attack on us at any time, and with their strength, once they succeed, they will inevitably cause us heavy losses."
Listening to Chang Zhirong's words, Dai Shulun was shocked, how many people in the Ming people were hidden in the city? They haven't been seen in public until now, but the hidden opponents are the most terrible opponents, and you never know what kind of strength they are and what kind of harm they can cause.
"Strengthen the attack, as long as we take Dongcheng, we can control the whole city, and then close the city gates, and the army can launch a search and arrest in the whole city, no matter how many people they have, in front of the army, they are all scum, only those who can be captured, Chang Zhirong, take your subordinates, go to support Li Zhongfa, before dawn, you must take Dongcheng."
"Yes, Lord Dai!" Chang Zhirong nodded in acceptance, and was about to leave, when Li Zuxin, another general covered in blood, hurriedly ran in.
"He Weiping's department has been supported, and an unknown team has joined the Dongcheng guards, with sharp weapons and quite good combat effectiveness, He Bei has received their support, and the formation that has been disrupted by us has stabilized again." Li Zuxin was obviously a little annoyed, "It's a failure, we have already broken through the city wall of the East City." ”
"How many are there?"
"About five hundred." Li Zuxin sighed: "Now these five hundred people are on the left and the right with Chen Zhenrui's Thunder Army, why Wei Ping has wings, so we are very passive." ”
Dai Shulun felt that he was really unlucky. The matter of the Tiger Prison has changed frequently, and until now, he can't figure out why the Ming people would anticipate the enemy's opportunities in everything, as if they already knew what they wanted to do. And Chen Zhenrui is another change, this stupid guy was originally a set scapegoat, but he killed all the people in the General's Mansion, as if he was enlightened, he realized the fate of his back, and Chen turned against him, this original help, but now it has become a resistance, even if there are only a few hundred people left in the Thunder Army, the combat effectiveness is also terrifying, and now their performance proves this even more.
"At any cost, we must take down Dongcheng. Throw in all your reserves. Dai Shulun said with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" Chang Zhirong and Li Zuxin responded to the order, turned around and strode out.
On Gulou Street in Dongcheng, Chen Zhenrui, who had just repelled an attack by his opponent, sat behind the huge stone lion at the door of a house, panting constantly, and behind him, there were 500 thunder soldiers, and the rest had died in the battle in the middle of the night.
He is very angry, he is just a small person, so he also has the consciousness of being used as a pawn. The little people have always been the chess pieces that the big people move left and right when they play chess. But he could not tolerate being fooled like a fool. And Dai Shulun and Deng Shu took him for a fool.
When they used their family to threaten to replace Deng Shu with the female assassin, they were afraid that they had already designed themselves to make themselves a scapegoat, and once they succeeded, they would become the most heinous guy in the Tiger Prison Incident, and they couldn't wash the stain on themselves by jumping into the river.
For themselves, they are not prepared to give alms to themselves even the slightest kindness.
Chen Zhenrui's anger, he didn't just want revenge, he knew very well that what he did today, no matter which side, might settle accounts with himself afterwards. Xiao Xin didn't die, but the hundreds of lives in the General's Mansion were indeed his own hands, could he not hate himself? Dozens of high-ranking generals of the Tiger Prison Army also died in their own hands, and I am afraid that there will be countless people looking for themselves to settle this account. And now, he fought back and killed countless people who killed Dai Shulun, once Dai Shulun succeeded, not only would he have to finish the game, but even his family would be implicated. Today's plan, only by defeating Dai Shulun first and capturing them all, can his family avoid the disaster.
And what I have to do now, of course, is to make greater contributions, and then, to defect to a stronger new master, only in this way can I avoid disaster.
He was very depressed, he actually offended the people on both sides of the enemy in one day, thinking of Xiao Xin, Chen Shaowei looked at his eyes that could almost kill, Chen Zhenrui's heart was stunned for a while.
There was a huge whistling sound in the air, and without looking up, Chen Zhenrui knew that it was a stone bullet thrown by a large trebuchet, and without thinking, he yelled, "Be careful on your head." ”
With a loud bang, dozens of pounds of stone bullets did not hit the street where they were stationed, but landed in a house on the left, and immediately smashed a big hole in the roof, and the screams were very short, but the next screaming and heart-splitting cry made people a little upset.
The turmoil broke out, and the most unlucky people were the innocent people in the Tiger Prison, and I don't know how many people would die after tonight.
The stone bullets kept falling, and the opponent seemed to be using the stone bullets to fill this side.
"Forward, forward!" Taking advantage of the interval between the trebuchet reloads, Chen Zhenrui jumped up and rushed forward, there was no way out of retreating, retreating would only be hit by the other party's connection, but forward, which could avoid the fatal blow of this weapon. "Scatter among the dwellings on both sides and kill the enemy freely."
Standing here, he could clearly see the situation of the enemy on each street, and the nearest enemy army was less than a hundred meters away from them. But he was so suppressed by the crossbow arrows in the city that he couldn't raise his head.
With a loud bang, a stone bullet fell on his side less than a few feet, and several unlucky soldiers were unfortunately hit, two were killed on the spot, and the other two wailed, and the whole lower body was crushed under the stone, and blood gushed like a spring.
An officer walked over, looked at it, sighed, lifted his knife, and gave the two men a clean and happy look. Then he went back to his post.
"General, the enemy's offensive has intensified." Ke Zhen was a little worried. "There's a lot of ranged weapons in the arsenal, and we're running out of supplies. Soon, they will be able to form a suppressive attack on us. ”
He Weiping looked up at the sky: "It's okay, it's about to dawn." As soon as dawn, Chen Shaowei's Zuo battalion would appear outside Dongcheng, and Lu Dayuan's army should also arrive. ”
"Where is the right battalion?"
"The right battalion is not to worry, they can't make any waves, the senior generals of the right battalion are dead, and a few small shrimps jumping on their feet may not be able to incite the whole battalion of soldiers." He Weiping said.
