Chapter 291: Defending Against the Enemy (6)

"Smack!"

From time to time, one or two sparks popped out of the charcoal brazier at the head of the city, like a flashing meteor, fleeting in the night, and I don't know where it drifted with the wind.

On the fourth watch, although the soldiers who worked hard during the day were still holding their weapons, they could not resist the attack of sleepiness, or spread to the ground, or leaned against the city wall, enjoying a moment of rest in this short period of peace.

A gust of wind blew, blowing the flames in the charcoal brazier and elongating the burly figure.

The partial general Yang Sheng's tiger eyes were like congested, and he patrolled the city with his hands, and the vicious battles in the past few days made him feel very bitter in his heart, and he felt very sorry for the soldiers under him.

Waving his hand to retreat the soldiers and let them go to rest, Yang Sheng stood in front of the battlement, looking at the enemy tent in the dark night in the distance, which seemed to be sprinkled with stars and continuous lights, and his short and thick brows couldn't help but twist into a hemp rope.

After a long time, the rugged man sighed deeply, and a look appeared between his brows that he didn't dare to show during the day, helpless and lonely.

Rubbing his face vigorously with his calloused hands, after that, Yang Sheng took a deep breath of the cool night breeze again, his bloodshot eyes once again revealed his previous determination, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Unless he is dead, the rebels will not want to enter the city!

Under the resolute belief, Yang Sheng's felt that his steps were a little more powerful, and he continued to cheer up and patrol the city, after all, the soldiers were the most sleepy at this hour, so he had to persevere, otherwise if there was an enemy night attack, it would be a heavy loss.

Therefore, there can be no sloppiness.

Inspecting to a remote place at the head of the city, Yang Sheng saw three soldiers holding spears, but their heads were drooping, thinking that the three of them were napping, and when they were about to step forward, a gust of night wind blew, making Yang Shenghu's eyes widen.

Because he asked, a smell of blood.

Unlike the fishy smell that had been wafting outside the city for days, it was a fishy smell of fresh blood.

After galloping on the battlefield for many years, Yang Sheng's body immediately tensed like a bowstring, his right hand was on top of the waist knife, holding his breath, like a vigilant beast, looking around, looking for the source of danger.

"Hoo ......"

In the dark night, any sound was particularly harsh, and a sound that pierced the air sounded in Yang Sheng's ears, and then a cold breath hit the back of his head and neck.

This is not the chill of the night wind, but the killing intent that makes people's skin tingle.

didn't have time to think about it, Yang Sheng immediately pulled out his knife and returned to his hand.

When there was a loud sound, sparks flew with it.

Yang Sheng was a brave man, and this knife also used all his strength, so the sneak attacker was shocked away, and Yang Sheng also had a chance to turn around.

When he saw the giant hammer in the hand of the comer, Yang Sheng couldn't help but shake his body suddenly, and the person who sneaked up on him turned out to be a 'Furious Hammer'!

It was at this respite that dozens of 'angry mallets' surrounded him with giant hammers, apparently they saw the tiger shoulder armor Yang Sheng was wearing, and recognized him as the general defending the city.

Yang Sheng prides himself on being brave even on weekdays, and he can be ten with one, but at this moment, in the face of dozens of 'angry hammers', all he has left is the pressure of scalp tingling.

So Yang Sheng immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

This was not to call for help, but to wake up his men to prepare for defense, because the 'Furious Hammer' had reached the top of the city, and in the dark night under the city, there must have been rebels who were already waiting for the signal to attack.

Seeing Yang Sheng's voice, those sneak attacks of the 'angry hammers' quickly surrounded him, and several giant hammers with the momentum of tearing the air, as if Mount Tai was lowered, fell from the sky and smashed into Yang Sheng's head.

Dodging back to avoid the attack, Yang Sheng's scimitar flicked over, forcing the person who was sneaking up on one side to retreat, and scolded angrily, "You and others are originally loyal to His Majesty Emperor Ming, how can they do something disloyal to him now!" ”

Since they came to sneak attack, these people didn't care about the oath of entering the 'Angry Hammer' at the beginning, so they didn't wait for Yang Sheng to continue to speak, and gathered again to attack.

At this moment, Yang Sheng heard a sound at the city wall not far away, and immediately felt a chill down his spine following the sound, just because there was a ladder there, and there were already rebels poking out, and they were about to climb to the top of the city.

This time Yang Sheng was even more anxious, although his shout just now woke up the tired soldiers, but everything happened in an instant, so until this time, his soldiers were still a few feet away.

Without thinking too much, Yang Sheng pounced on him, slashed at the rebels who were about to climb the city, killed him and fell to the city, and just overturned the cloud ladder, but his body sank suddenly, and he immediately knelt on one knee.

Blood spilled from his mouth.

But it was the giant hammer that smashed behind him, shattering the armor on his back, and several pieces of iron flew to one side and struck the masonry of the city wall with a loud sound.

"Protect the General!"

The soldiers who arrived shouted in the distance, and then the leader stretched his bow and stringed, and a flying arrow forced back the assassin who wanted to continue to step forward and take Yang Sheng's life.

With him like this, the rest of the soldiers who came back to their senses also approached at a trot, shooting arrows to protect Yang Sheng, who was struggling to stand up.

After all, the 'Angry Hammer' is the elite of Shu, and when the giant hammer is wielded, the arrows shot are shot away one by one, and the broken arrows fall between the city, smashing the sparks of the Dao.

In this kung fu, two more cloud ladders were erected on top of the city, and Yang Sheng, who was shouting blood in his mouth, immediately felt as if he had been stung by a bee worm, burst out with amazing speed, rushed to the cloud ladder, waved his scimitar, and cut down the city tower in the future, and kicked over the cloud ladder.

After doing this, Yang Sheng, who was out of breath, immediately wanted to turn around and destroy the other cloud ladder, but when he turned around, a bright light flashed in front of his eyes.

But it was a scimitar stuck in his chest.

"Ahh

The pain made Yang Sheng's blood vessels swell, and he pushed the attacker, and he retreated to the front of the ladder with that force.

At the ladder, another rebel was leaning out.

Seeing this scene, Yang Sheng roared again, pushed his hand and pounced on the cloud ladder before he could pull the scimitar from his chest, and fell down with the rebels who were about to ascend the city and the cloud ladder.

"General!"

Yang Sheng fell off the city, and those soldiers couldn't help but be angry, and they were not afraid of life and death and pounced on the 'angry mallet'.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, even if the 'Angry Hammer' is elite, it is also an ordinary person, it is easy to climb to the top of the city unconsciously, but it is difficult to go down to the city in the midst of the crowd rushing to kill.

Therefore, under the attack of the defenders of the city, this team of sneak attacks of 'Angry Hammers' were all killed!

When Liu Xi and Ma Xiu received the news and rushed to the city, Yang Sheng's body had been brought up by the soldiers from the city with ropes.

Looking at Yang Sheng, who was covered with scars, his eyes were still wide open to death, and his anger was difficult to extinguish, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, and at the same time, there was a little more pressure on his body.

After all, this is a brave general who is one of the ten, and now his fate has fallen here, which can be described as a major blow to Chongzhou City, which already lacks the ability to lead troops.

Looking around at the sad looks on the faces of the soldiers around, Liu Xi could probably guess that this stern-faced and thick man took good care of his soldiers on weekdays.

Otherwise, after his death, the soldiers would not have avented him regardless of life and death.

But this is not the time for Liu Xi to sigh, "Today, General Yang Sheng has been buried in a good way." ”

Ma Xiu, who was quite sad, nodded, but then the murderous aura in his eyes burst out like a sword, "Yusheng, do you want to take advantage of everyone's resentment against General Yang's death now and sneak attack the rebel camp?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi immediately shook his head, "It's not proper, today, with Dong Ge's cautious temperament, the sneak attack will not succeed, and we will definitely be prepared to prevent us from being angry, so if we go, we will definitely be ambushed." ”

As he spoke, Liu Xi's eyes were firmly fixed on the rebel camp in the distance, and in the dark night, it seemed that the armor could be vaguely seen radiating a dim light in the misty moonlight.

Ma Xiu, who was clucking with his teeth, withdrew his resentful gaze for a long time, turned his head to look at Yang Sheng, who was carried to be buried, a flash of red flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed deeply.

Liu Xi can understand Ma Xiu's mood very well, when Yangqu City fought the Xiongnu army alone, when Luo Shan died, he was also so angry and sad.

Ma Xiu didn't make a sound, but his clenched fist didn't let go, just like this, standing at the head of the city, until the white of the fish belly on the edge of the sky slowly emerged.

The morning breeze was cool and unabated, blowing the night away, and the smoke of cooking rose everywhere in the enemy camp.

The scarlet embroidery of the horse made people take a black horse, and then went out of the city under the surprised gaze of the soldiers on the left and right.

Xiao Wu wanted to accompany him, but was stopped by Liu Xi.

As Ma Xiu, the rebels resolutely did not dare to harm easily, and there were some things that Ma Xiu had to face by himself.

Standing at the head of the city, Liu Xi's eyes gradually lengthened with the figure of Ma Xiu, and in the morning light that was not completely dissolved, he rode alone.

Seeing the movement in the enemy camp, Ma Xiu stopped a hundred feet away from the enemy camp and waited quietly.

Soon, surrounded by the guards, Dong Ge appeared as he had expected.

When the gate of Chongzhou City was opened before, the rebel scouts noticed the movement on this side of Chongzhou City, and immediately reported to Dong Ge, who was studying the siege strategy, not only suddenly tightened his heart.

Could it be that Chongzhou City is going to surrender?

After hearing that the person who came was the second prince Tuoba embroidery, although Dong Ge was expressionless, he threw the array diagram in his hand and strode towards the outside of the camp.

Now that he saw with his own eyes that the person who came was really a horse embroidery, Dong Ge was secretly happy in his heart, not for anything else, just to no longer have to guard outside the city of Chongzhou, and attack the city day and night.

Having fought for half his life, he had never encountered such a difficult siege battle.

Emperor Ming sent the second prince to surrender to Cheng, which was the result he wanted most, otherwise even if Dong Ge was confident in taking Chongzhou City, he didn't know how long it would take and how many casualties he would have.

Dong Ge clenched his fists and bowed, "Your Highness! ”

The horse embroidery on the horse's back was gloomy and cold, and he did not make a sound, but he bent the bow and strings.

Seeing him like this, Dong Gela's face changed suddenly, and the guards beside him hurriedly blocked the front.

The scene in front of him made Ma Xiu feel very funny, and he couldn't help sneering, "Jumping beam clown, but Er'er!" ”

With that, Ma Xiu shot the arrow tied to the letter on the clearing, and then turned around and beat the horse towards Chongzhou City.
