Chapter 1226: Breaking the Siege
Xia Hongsheng stood on top of the city tower, staring at the Great Food Barracks in the distance outside the city.
At this moment, there is no movement there, there is silence, only a few torches can be seen, like fireflies in a summer night.
Suddenly, I saw a few fires flash there, and then I heard a series of muffled sounds.
Xia Hongsheng's heart sank, Su Dingfang and they began to steal the camp!
The light of the fire turned into a cluster in an instant, and the next glance passed, it was already a piece of succession.
In the firelight, there was a muffled sound of earth-shattering thunder, and Xia Hongsheng seemed to be able to hear Su Dingfang's loud shouts in his ears.
Xia Hongsheng knew that this was an auditory hallucination, and Su Dingfang's voice couldn't reach here. However, one can guess what they will shout - it must be the arrival of the army, or the commander has been punished, or something that tends to disturb the morale of the army.
But the sound became louder and louder, but it was the big food soldier who was frightened by the night, like a pot of boiling oil splashed with cold water, and the big food camp fried the pot in an instant.
The shouts were intertwined, and even if you couldn't see it with your own eyes, you could hear the utter chaos in it.
Su Dingfang brought a medicine bag mixed with white phosphorus, and those dark green flames left many shadows on the Great Eater soldiers. Now it reappeared, and the tragic scene of that day resurfaced in front of me, and I was even more afraid.
On the city wall, Xia Hongsheng and the rest of the generals stared closely into the distance, all very worried about Su Dingfang's safety.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! A general beside Xia Hongsheng suddenly shouted, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly looked up, but saw that a corner of the Great Food Barracks suddenly burst into flames, much bigger than the previous ones, it was the place where the grain and grass in the Dashi Barracks were stored before.
"Prepare the gates!" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly ordered.
The fire in the Great Food Barracks was so bright that the night sky in the distance seemed to be burned red. Soon the flames joined together, surging like Hell on fire.
"How much ammunition is left for the artillery?!" Xia Hongsheng asked sideways.
Changshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "There are still one hundred and twenty rounds left." ”
"Twenty rounds!" Xia Hongsheng ordered in a deep voice: "After firing the cannon, count thirty times, and then fire the next one!" ”
"Obey!" The general next to him immediately took the order.
Soon, there was a loud and earth-shaking sound in the night.
As the artillery roared, the Great Food Army became even more chaotic. The soldiers in the barracks ran around like flies without heads. Some of them even cut down and killed people when they saw them, until they were hacked to death by others.
A green light suddenly rose and rushed into the air. Xia Hongsheng's eyes froze, and he said continuously: "Open the door!" ”
The guards of the city gate quickly pulled up the city gate, and in the darkness, I saw a group of men and horses rushing quickly.
Immediately, a guard at the door lit a signal flare, and with the help of the green light, he saw that it was Su Dingfang who was in the lead!
A detachment of men and horses quickly rushed into the city gates, and the guards immediately followed closely behind and closed the gates again.
Xia Hongsheng had already come down from the city wall and greeted him behind the city gate. With the help of countless torches around him, he saw Su Dingfang covered in blood at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Military doctor!" ”
Without waiting for Xia Hongsheng to shout, the military doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward, helped everyone off their horses, and immediately began to check the injuries.
"Hahahaha! Sure enough, as Lao Su expected, the big cannibals besieged the city for five months, and their morale was already low, and they suffered from epidemics a few days ago, and then they were frightened by phosphorus fire and poisonous smoke, and they died countless tragically, and now they are uncertain. Su Dingfang still had a bow and arrow on his shoulder, but his face was full of joy, and he said with a smile: "I threw the earth-shaking thunder first, and then ordered the medicine bag filled with white phosphorus and threw it into the big food barracks. When it was dark and chaotic, those frightened and crazy soldiers heard the sound of cannons again, and they really thought that the Tang reinforcements had arrived, and they didn't distinguish between the enemy and me in a hurry, and killed people when they saw them. We took advantage of the chaos to rush to the grain depot, burned the grain, and took advantage of the chaos to cut it out! ”
"Hugh has to say more, go and deal with the wound first!" Xia Hongsheng stopped him from talking and asked the military doctor to take him away and dispose of the wounds on his body.
The defenders on the city wall watched closely at the movement of the Great Food Barracks, and the chaos in the Great Food Barracks lasted until dawn, when it finally subsided.
The grain and grass are burned, and even if it is a big food, it can still be transported here, and it is not something that can be transported in a short time. Without food, the Great Food Army will only lose its morale, become even less combative, and the epidemic will become more serious.
"The generals listened to the order, and the soldiers of the Great Food Diet are now riddled with epidemics, and their minds are greatly stimulated, and they have no food and grass, so they will definitely have no morale. We have been besieged for five months, and now it is finally time for a counterattack. In the tent, Xia Hongsheng said to the generals: "In addition to the defenders, there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Da Shi was bombed yesterday, and we must take strict precautions today. After going down, he took out milk powder and meat floss to drink to his heart's content. Tomorrow, go out of the city to attack the enemy and break the siege of the enemy! ”
"The last will be ordered!" The generals shouted in unison.
How brave are the Tang Dynasty soldiers, they have been surrounded by cannibals in the city for five months, they can only defend, and they are beaten on the head, how can they be willing? Hearing that Xia Hongsheng was about to order, he became excited, and they all geared up, ready to take revenge on the encirclement of the big cannibals for several days.
The soldiers in the city finally waited for the time to counterattack, and mixed all the milk powder and meat floss they had left together and drank it in a big gulp, filling their stomachs, sharpening the soldiers, and nourishing their spirits, just waiting for the dawn.
Finally, it's dawn!
Without warning, the deafening sound of cannon suddenly resounded between this side of the world.
The sound of the charge was loud and exciting, and with its sound, the city gate was like opening a gate to release water, and a torrent of flickering cold light poured out one after another, and it poured madly towards the Great Food Barracks.
Before he could react, he was rushed to the face by these Tang soldiers who were like hungry wolves out of the cage and tigers coming down the mountain.
The Tang cavalry was in front, like a sharp pair of scissors, which immediately scattered the Great Food Army, cutting it into pieces and scattering them.
The infantry was behind, like a chariot of shock, flying and crushing all the oncoming enemy troops.
The formation of swords and soldiers was like a meat grinder with a rotating blade, and everywhere it passed, there were corpses everywhere.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were already in ruins at this moment, and they fought for their lives, and rushed into the military camp of Da Shi with the non-stop charge.
Suddenly, the shouting of killing came from the right side of the Great Food Army, and it was Xue Rengui who was at the head, and the white robe was immediately stained with blood, and rushed into the Great Food Army.
"I am the Tang Dynasty Xijun to buy, and the big dog thief will die!" In the midst of another group of shouts, a cavalry also rushed into the Great Food Army from the left.
The battle broke out suddenly, and Xia Hongsheng seemed to be able to hear the sound of the blade cutting through the flesh.
At this time, how could the Great Food Sick Pawn be the opponent of this group of tiger-like Tang soldiers who had already put life and death aside?
In the midst of the rush, the big cannibal quickly broke up and fled in all directions.
Suddenly, a series of loud noises like thunder were heard in the distance.
"Boom-"
"Boom-boom-"
The sound of artillery, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly resounded again.
Above the city, Xia Hongsheng suddenly raised his head, immediately picked up the telescope, and looked at it with great eyes.
Behind the Great Food Barracks, there was a sudden shout of killing, and the same charging horn came from the back of the Dashi Barracks and reached the ears of every Tang Dynasty soldier.
"Hahahaha!" Xia Hongsheng laughed loudly: "Damn, Lao Tzu has won, you guys are fucking here!" ”
