Chapter 172: A Bloody Battle
Walking to the city tower, the Xia army was attacking fiercely, and Chun Yuqiong was personally commanding the enemy. Rolling stones, sassal wood, golden soup, and arrows all greeted the beggar sergeant who climbed up the ladder hanging on the ladder. The beggar army is brave and brave, and is not afraid of death, but the siege of the city is really chaotic, and there is a crowd under the city.
Chun Yuqiong was still a little expected, he behaved quite calmly, there was not much panic in command and dispatch, and the defenders gradually settled down under his control to resist the attack of the Xia army.
"General!" Han Juzi had a bloody face, a calm face, and stepped forward to greet him.
"Oh! You're in town? Chun Yuqiong glanced at Han Juzi: "You did a good job just now, although it was not completely demolished." The Xia army is attacking the city urgently, you and this general will inspect the city, but there are slack soldiers, there is no forgiveness! ”
"No!" Han Juzi replied lightly. Chun Yuqiong is still so arrogant, in his opinion, it seems that it is an obligation for soldiers to fight to the death.
The beggar army ants gathered to attack the city and fought fiercely, but the Yuan army resisted very resolutely under the high-pressure command of Chun Yuqiong, and caused a lot of casualties to the besieging soldiers. However, the blood and death did not deter them, as if to provoke them, and they continued to attack under the command of Su Li and Bald Guilai, climbing the ladder.
More than 300 people were killed and wounded, and finally someone waited for the castle tower. Su Li's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, and immediately urged people to rush to support. However, before the order was given, he saw the soldier being stabbed in the head, and his body fell straight down.
"Damn!" Su Li was furious and said, "Keep attacking!" ”
Turning his head to look at the other side, the other beggar army commanded by Bald Guilai was in the east, and the progress was not great, and it fell into a bitter battle.
In the city, the resistance of the defenders was not easy, and the beggar army attacked like a tide, continuously, especially the unsympathetic attack, which frightened many people. At the bottom, Liu Yuan sent cavalry to take turns to suppress the arrows, and under several blows, the guards suffered many casualties.
"This group of Xia Guodi people really don't want to die, they attack so desperately!" At the head of the city, Chun Yuqiong's face was solemn, and the attack of the Xia army today was one level higher than the previous days.
Under the attack of the beggar army, the casualties of the defenders gradually increased, and the enemy soldiers who slowly climbed to the top of the city increased, although they were all killed. Looking around, morale is already showing signs of decline.
Chun Yuqiong picked up the spear and personally stabbed to death an enemy pawn who had just crossed the female wall and looked very fierce, and said loudly: "Give this general to block, dare to retreat cowardly, kill!" ”
Under pressure, Chun Yuqiong divided his personal army into two groups, one to join the defenders and the other to supervise the guards and monitor the soldiers.
In the rear, Liu Yuan watched the battle with the sun on his back, watching the beggar sergeant move up the ladder with agility. Although the offensive was fierce, it was really chaotic, there was little cooperation, and there were many unnecessary casualties. The fierce battle has come to this point, but the momentum has fallen.
"Such a fierce army, if only the beggar army could do the order and prohibit!" Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
However, I can only sigh with emotion, this army does not understand the language, and so far it can only give some simple orders. The use of the beggar army has yet to be developed, Liu Yuan thought in his heart.
After a fierce battle for more than an hour, nearly 1,000 beggar soldiers fell under the north gate of Jinyang, and the wounded were even more innumerable. The offensive came to a standstill, and Su Li and Bald Guilai, who were in charge of the front command, were somewhat unstable.
"Follow me!" Bald rose came to spit and went up to the city directly with a knife. In this kind of contest of will, the blood courage of the commander can greatly improve morale.
As the youngest and fiercest chieftain of the Yuan Clan, Bald Rose came to be valued by Liu Yuan, and at this time, Liu Yuan was watching the battle behind him, so he naturally wanted to use his life to gain a future for himself. You know, he's just a little viscount up to now. Liu Yuan had already said that if he wanted to be a knight, he would be in the Han realm.
Climbing a few steps, dodging a rolling stone, and approaching the city, Bald Rose came to concentrate in a high degree of concentration. A guard of the Yuan army reached out of Changge and wanted to assassinate him, but he was grabbed by Bald Guilai, pulled it, waved his knife, beheaded him, let the blood splash his face, and jumped up.
Seeing this, Su Li took over the command of all the soldiers and stepped up the attack, he did not fight in martial arts, but commanded rationally in the rear.
After Bald Guilai landed in the city, it immediately became a fulcrum for the attackers, and the defenders could no longer easily drive the Xia army out of the city.
Chun Yuqiong was already anxious, he hoarded more than 1,500 soldiers in Beicheng, and under the fierce impact of the beggar army, there was already a phenomenon of incapacity at this time.
The voice was a little hoarse, and Chun Yuqiong wiped the cold sweat on her forehead: "Send troops from its east gate to help." Give the general to kill the enemy, resist this wave of offensive of the Xia army, and the city will be defended! ”
The Yuan army had an advantage in the city, and the Xia cavalry under the city also stopped firing arrows to suppress at this time, and as the defenders eased up, especially the arrival of reinforcements from the east gate. Bald Guilai and the others were slowly compressed backwards, and a wave did not disperse the defenders, and it was difficult for the soldiers under the city to rush up on a large scale, and the defense line was gradually recaptured by the defenders.
Seeing that the soldiers around him were constantly being killed by Yuan Jun, Bald Guilai knew that he couldn't do anything, so he had no choice but to take the lead, crossed over the female wall, and withdrew along the ladder. Not all of them had his athletic skills, and there were nearly three hundred people who climbed the city, and more than eighty percent of them died in the city.
Finally repelled, Chun Yuqiong, whose nerves had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax, the madness of this Xia army frightened him.
"General Chunyu!" At this time, Linghu Shao's voice came from behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that he was leading hundreds of young people to go to the city.
"Thank you, Uncle Kong!" Chun Yuqiong understood at once, and immediately arranged Qingzhuang to fill the vacancy of the guard, waiting for the next wave of enemy attacks.
Outside the city, Liu Yuan couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, after Bald Guilai and the beggar sergeant were driven out of the city, they knew that today's attack was over. If it continues to attack, it will be useless, even if the beggar army is used as "cannon fodder", it is not used like this, not to mention, Liu Yuan saw its strength at this time, and he didn't want to use it purely as a consumable.
"Collect the troops!" Liu Yuan ordered coldly.
After a long trumpet, Su Li and Bald Rose reluctantly retreated. After a melee fight, Bald Guilai added a lot of scars and shed a lot of blood. He wanted to continue the attack, but he didn't dare to disobey Liu Yuan's order, and when he was evacuating, he took the bow and arrow in the hand of a pawn next to him and shot towards the city.
Seeing that the Xia army had really retreated, the guards in the city were relieved, and they had a feeling of the rest of their lives. Chun Yuqiong was the same, but after repelling the Xia army, his mood was even heavier. The strength of the Xia army, today's resistance is so difficult, and the Xia army still has so many troops that have not been used. If the other party comes like this again, can he stay until Yuan Shao comes to help, he has no bottom in his heart.
"General be careful!" As soon as Chun Yuqiong came back to his senses, he felt something hit him quickly, and subconsciously dodged, and a heart-piercing pain surged from his left shoulder.
was hit by an arrow, and the surrounding soldiers suddenly panicked and surrounded them. Chun Yuqiong decisively broke the shaft of the arrow, twitched his face a few times, and endured the pain and said: "It's okay, I was bitten by a stray arrow, don't panic!" ”
After all, Chun Yuqiong is the chief general of the defenders, if something happens to him, Jinyang will really not be able to hold it. Seeing that it was "unharmed", the surrounding soldiers obviously settled down.
Han Juzi saw Chun Yuqiong's arrow, and somehow, there was some schadenfreude in his heart.
"Han Juzi!" was stopped by Chun Yuqiong: "You lead people to continue to guard the city tower and keep an eye on the enemy's movements!" ”
Suppressing his careful thoughts, Han Juzi dragged his tired body and responded: "Obey the order!" ”
After going down to the city, Chun Yuqiong couldn't hold back anymore, and suppressed and shouted: "Hurt me!" Immediately, he returned to his home under the escort of his own soldiers and sought medical treatment.
