Wu Yuanqing was not wrong, they were really going to die. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The others were busy fighting and couldn't see it, but he, an idler, stood on the high tower and saw it clearly, Liang Luoren had already led his troops out of the city when he found that the eastern city was on fire and the attack was blocked.

You don't have to think about it to know that Liang Luoren will definitely not abandon the city and flee, then the only possibility is that he will go around the city and attack from outside the east city gate.

Moreover, Wu Yuanqing is not as optimistic as Captain Wu, according to his estimates, there are at most seven or eight hundred people in the city who have been wiped out, and it is definitely not as one thousand people as Captain Wu said.

When he first arrived in Shuofang, Captain Wu and Wu Yuanqing said that Liang Luoren had less than 1,000 troops, but when interrogating Liang Lie, Liang Lie confided that Liang Luoren had a total of 1,003 soldiers, and Liang Lie himself brought 1,000 soldiers when he arrived in Shuofang, so that the strength of Shuofang Xicheng reached 2,300 people, even if Wu Yuanqing's most optimistic estimate was removed and 800 people were eliminated, then Liang Luoren still had 1,500 people available.

Especially the first wave of henchmen and generals brought by Liang Lie all died in the trap, and Liang Luoren was able to easily take over the thousand people brought by Liang Lie, not to mention that he was in command, but it was no problem for them to obey orders.

As for Wu Yuanqing's side, counting the dozen or so soldiers brought by Xue Yuanjing, there were only about 300 people in total, and there were dozens of dead and wounded in the fierce battle just now, and there were still more than 250 people left.

The difference between the strength of the enemy and us is a full six times, which can be described as a huge disparity in strength.

Fortunately, Wu Yuanqing is going to face siege warfare, they are the defenders of the city, and they have a natural advantage.

But Wu Yuanqing's disadvantage is also very obvious, aside from the problem of numbers, the first thing they have to face is the lack of arrows, the archers attacked before it was cool, but they also consumed a lot of arrows, and the remaining arrows could not last a few days of siege warfare, not to mention that the location of the armory was located in the south of the city, and it had been patronized by the fire just now.

The arrows available to the archers now are the dozen or so bundles that were brought out and placed under the city gates. One point is less than two arrows per person.

Like the rolling stone and sassard wood used to defend the city at this time, there is nothing to add except for the original ones on the city wall, and another big killing weapon for defending the city, gold juice, that is, boiling dung soup, don't even think about it.

The reason is that the people in Dongcheng have run out, and there is not much left of the house, so there is naturally a shortage of materials.

"Quick, close the city gate, close the city gate" After hearing Wu Yuanqing's words, Captain Wu couldn't help but shout.

"What kind of city gate is closed, do you open the door in the morning, you will close it" Wu Yuanqing couldn't help rolling his eyes when he looked at Captain Wu's panicked look.

"Oh, I forgot" Captain Wu remembered that the city gate had not been opened at all today after Wu Yuanqing squeezed it.

"Okay, gather the brothers, and I'll say two words," Wu Yuanqing commanded.

"Yes, my lord," Captain Wu commanded.

Wu Yuanqing didn't intend to say anything inspiring at this time, there was no need to cheer up, he just said truthfully: "Brothers, although it is my stubborn persistence that has put everyone into the current crisis, but being a soldier is not only to eat food, but also to protect the family and the country, and protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is only one person who pays all of our lives to protect, so I don't want to say sorry." What I want to say to you is that we are in such a dangerous situation that we all have little chance of survival. ”

"My lord, you don't need to say it, from the day we joined the army, we have been ready to die on the battlefield, brothers, are you right?" Captain Wu interrupted Wu Yuanqing's words and said.

"Right"

"That's right"

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

Hearing the soldiers respond, Wu Yuanqing's eyes moistened.

Who is the cutest person, if it was before, Wu Yuanqing would definitely have many answers, but at this moment, he felt that the cutest person must be and could only be these Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of him.

"Okay, let's not say anything superfluous, I promise you, no matter whether I survive or not, as long as you are killed or disabled in battle, your family and my martial family will be responsible for supporting you," Wu Yuanqing said solemnly.

"Lord Xie" was in an uproar, and more than 200 soldiers all knelt down and thanked him.

Wu Yuanqing's guarantee effect was huge, and in the subsequent battle to defend the city, these soldiers were all fearless of death, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Wu Yuanqing wondered if these guys were deliberately sent to death in order for the Wu family to support their families.

Of course, the villain's heart was also fleeting, and Wu Yuanqing actually didn't have much time to think about others, because he also personally raised his knife and went into battle.

It can't be helped, the enemy's attack is too fierce and the range is too wide.

Although the walls of Shuofang have been heightened and cut off from the earthen wall in the middle of the city, there is still an entire eastern wall and two halves of the north and south walls that can be attacked.

Wu Yuanqing's more than 200 people patronized the area of the east gate and fought fiercely with the attacking enemy, and they did not prevent the enemy from killing from the south city wall.

By the time they found out, more than a dozen people had already been killed from the south.

Hurriedly sent people to the south to block it, and finally the south side was defeated, and the east city wall couldn't stand being killed by several people.

To describe it in four words is to take care of one or the other.

That is, the enemy's siege equipment is a little rudimentary, too hurried to bring only about 20 siege ladders, and did not spend time to build other siege equipment, plus the bomb in Wu Yuanqing's backpack has made a miraculous achievement, and a smash actually directly blew up six siege ladders, plus the losses caused by rolling stones and wood, a total of 14 were destroyed.

Otherwise, the first wave of the enemy will be able to directly attack the city.

But Wu Yuanqing and the others can only do this, and they no longer have the strength to destroy the other siege ladders.

After the last arrow was fired, the rest of the men could only stand by the walls and engage the enemy who climbed up the siege ladder in close combat.

"Young master, you can't hold it, you quickly withdraw from the northern wall," the dynasty shouted after cutting down an enemy who had reached the wall.

"What" Wu Yuanqing just said two words, and saw a head exposed on the city wall in front of him, and without waiting for this person to take another step, Wu Yuanqing took a knife according to the exposed head, poof, and half of the knife body was cut into the head.

Wu Yuanqing pulled the knife out of the enemy's head with a force on his wrist, and then stabbed him hard at the blood-stained face, and with this head-on stab, the dead enemy also fell from the siege ladder, and when he fell, he smashed several enemies who had climbed half of the way.

After eliminating the enemy, Wu Yuanqing wiped a handful of blood that was splashed on his face, and then continued: "What to withdraw, is there no enemy in the north, even if there is no young master, how can I go down, the rope has been thrown down before." Besides, everyone is fighting, you let me be a deserter, the young master can't afford to lose that person."

"But now there are only a few dozen of us alive, and we can't even stop the next wave of the enemy's attack," Wang Chao roared.

"If you can't stop it, then let's die together, what's the big deal, young master, I can live so long, I have earned it. Besides, comrades-in-arms, it is natural to live and die together," Wu Yuanqing said with a faint smile. (To be continued.) )
