Chapter 1403: The Body of Ten Thousand Saints

It is bound to put yourself in the range of the opponent's crossbowmen, and the damage will definitely be great. But Gao Zhong thought it was worth it, and as long as he could get to the top of the city, the longbowmen's sacrifice would be meaningful. The military orders were like a mountain, and the soldiers did not have any suspicions at all, even if there was a huge risk involved, the longbowmen still approached the city wall without hesitation. Although there is the protection of the shield hand, but in the face of overwhelming projectiles, there are still people who continue to fall, and the ** soldiers continue to suppress the defenders of the city at the cost of their lives, and it is the bows and arrows they throw in time that give the besiegers a chance to breathe. Seeing that there was a hole in the defense of the city, Pushkin took a flying claw from his waist and accurately hooked the battlements, and then his bear-like body grabbed the flying claw rope and ran up quickly. This is Pushkin's unique skill as a hunter, which is usually used to climb large trees, and is also used in siege cities, and the effect is also obvious. Pulled out the steel knife and directly cut the stunned Prussians in front of him to the ground. Pushkin was born with divine powers, lived in the mountains all the year round, and practiced a strange knife technique, and for a time the Prussians were cut down by him. With Pushkin opening the way, more people rushed up the ladder, and it didn't take long for a man dressed in silver-gray chain mail with a spear to rush up, and this person was the commander Ren Phenol. A commander actually went to the head of the city in person to fight a bloody battle, and the soldiers all marched forward bravely. Ren Phenol and Pushkin are like a pair of hum two generals, leading the soldiers to continue to kill, the gap is widening wider and wider, when one-third of the western city wall falls into the hands of Ding**, it also indicates that the battle for the city wall is a foregone conclusion, with Ding**'s strong combat effectiveness, the Prussians want to fight back, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

The offensive and defensive battle on the west was in full swing, but the east that Jerusha was in charge of was in a bitter battle, Mazovia was personally in charge of the eastern defense, the Prussians were as brave as taking medicine, and the death squads sent by Jerusha pounced on the city several times, and all of them were defeated, which can be described as heavy losses. If it weren't for the urgency of the military situation, Jerusha would never have used this kind of fighting style, "What about Ziggy?" Let Zig come to me, send out the guard battalion, and be sure to take the eastern wall. ”

"Yes" Not long after the guards left, Zig hurriedly ran over, just met, Yerusha raised his foot and kicked Zig to the ground, so he still didn't understand the hatred, Yerusha pointed at Zig and scolded angrily, "Zige, how did you command?" It's been fought just now, why did you retreat again, what are you eating, do you want Ben to go up and fight in person? ”

Ziggy hurriedly got up from the ground, stood up sharply, and said in a loud voice, "General, you give the last general another chance, this time the last general will definitely be able to knock down the city wall, otherwise, the last general will leave his head on the city wall." ”

Yerusha glared at Qi Ge, waved his hand and snorted, "Ben will give you another chance, this time Ben will transfer the personal guard battalion to you, if you can't beat the city wall, you will hand over the command to Yu Xiaochen, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, the last general understands" Qi Ge's face was red and white, Yu Xiaochen was Concubine Xiao's confidant, if the command was temporarily taken away by Yu Xiaochen, what would be the reaction to this matter in the eyes of the princess? He Qige can't afford to lose this face, even if he dies, he will die in the city, and he can't let Yu Xiaochen see the joke. Ziggy also let go, maybe after becoming a commander, he became less courageous, but at this juncture, no matter how much he spared his life, he had to go up.

Before Ziggy could leave, Nokicalf hurried on horseback, and as he dismounted, he shouted, "General, the western city wall has broken through, and now General Gao's headquarters has occupied most of the city wall. Concubine Xiao ordered you to give up the east as soon as possible, and instead attack the southern city wall, cooperate with General Gao's headquarters, and quickly open the west city gate. In addition, it has just been reported that Pope Gregory has sent an armed corps of churches, which is moving in the direction of Festaq. ”

"Great, Gao Changke finally didn't disappoint" Yerusha clenched his fists and yelled at Qige, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and mobilize people to attack the southern city wall, you must cooperate with General Gao to seize the west gate, if you can't take the outer city wall before today's Youshi, Lao Tzu will pick your skin." ”

Yerusha is really angry with Zig, this guy's courage is no longer what it used to be, if he still has the pride of breaking into Longtan alone, he would have made a gap in the east city wall a long time ago. If it weren't for the time of employing people, he would be thrown directly to the gang soldiers as a man for a period of time. Nokicalf can only sympathize with Zige's suffering, but he doesn't dare to say anything, at this time to speak for Ziger, maybe he will have to implicate himself, and then he will be demoted to carry the marching pot like Commander Cao, so how can he live?

The breakthrough of the western city wall is tantamount to a huge breakthrough for the entire Festaq war, this is a good opportunity to take Festak, in order to cooperate with the war in the west, Jerusha not only divided his troops to the east, but also concentrated his forces to launch a fierce attack on the south, which greatly reduced the pressure on the high pet department. As soon as the southern defenders who were busy helping the defenders of the western city wall were attacked, they hurriedly withdrew to defend the city, and under the sudden decrease in pressure, Ren Phenol and Pushkin and others were greatly emboldened, and they took advantage of this momentum to squeeze directly to the south, and now the defenders of the western front have been forced to near the Yongdao stairs. The Prussians resisted with difficulty, but more and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and in half an hour, it had reached more than 2,000 people. The situation of the western wall soon reached the ears of Mazovia, and when he heard that the western wall was about to fall, Mazovia's whole person was stunned, and it was only a long time before the easterners opened a gap. We must do everything we can to block these Orientals, and let them rush out of the corridor and open the city gates, and then they will be powerless. At Mazovia's urging, the reserve in the lord's palace was sent up, and a fresh force of nearly 1,500 men arrived at the western wall, which was like a booster that made the Prussians more aggressive. Ren Phenol attacked Yongdao twice, and was beaten back, so angry that he spat and scolded, "What the hell, why did the Prussians suddenly want to take medicine?" It seems that it is difficult to defeat Yongdao, Pushkin, yes is you, your kid led people around to attack the southern city wall, and he was responsible for containing Prussian reinforcements, and he must cooperate with General Yelu to take the southern city gate. Now that most of the Prussian forces were drawn to the east and west, the southern city was certainly weak in defense. ”

After speaking, he was afraid that Pushkin would not understand, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the guide, waved his hand and made a head-killing motion. Pushkin really didn't understand what Ren Feng said, but he still understood the gesture, he nodded, hastily bandaged the wound, and led a group of people to rush south. The defenders of the southern city wall were flanked and taken by surprise, and while the city was in chaos, Zig led the men to rush up. At this time, Ziggy was holding back the fire in his stomach and had nowhere to vent. The gap in the south city wall opened, Yelu Sha quickly gathered troops and horses, ready to rush in from the city gate at any time, he was thinking about the plan after entering the city, but saw Yu Xiaochen hurrying over, "General Yelu, pass on the message of His Royal Highness, order you to go to the Shuai tent as soon as possible, and the affairs here will be taken over by the last general, this is His Highness's warrant." ”

After that, Yu Xiaochen handed the token to Yelusha, Yelusha was depressed, and seeing that he was about to attack, Yu Xiaochen actually ran over to pick peaches. However, Yerusha is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, His Royal Highness called him back at this time, something big must have happened, "Yu Xiaochen, you kid are ready to attack the city, it is estimated that the south gate will be opened soon." ”

Commanding Yu Xiaochen a few words, Yelusha galloped wildly, and hurriedly returned to the camp of the Chinese army, at this time there were still many people in the tent, even Xiao Zhiyun, who was in charge of the front-line war, also returned to the tent. Seeing that everyone's expressions were more serious, Yerusha asked a little inexplicably, "Your Highness, what happened, so anxious to call the last general back." A breakthrough has just been made on the southern side of the city wall, and it is estimated that the city gate will be opened soon. ”

Zhao Yougong raised his hand and motioned for Yelu Sha to sit down first, and then Sanniang, who was sitting next to Zhao Yougong, said loudly, "General Yelu, it is really a last resort to call you back from the front line, the scouts in front have just sent back the news that the Church Armed Corps from the Hohenzollern region is already less than fifty miles away from Festark, and the first 4,000 cavalry is estimated to arrive within two hours. After the decision of His Highness and Mr. Dongfang, you and General Yang will lead two lines of troops and horses to resist the church corps, and be sure to block the church corps to the west of Festaq. Because the Germanic garrison on the side of Psk is also approaching us, how the two Germans can join forces together will cause us great trouble. ”

After taking Sanniang's words, Zhao Yougong said slowly, "You and Shao Lie went together to resist the people of the church, but this king can't give you too many soldiers and horses, 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, this is the maximum force that this king can give you." If you have any other requests, please do so, and if the king can do it, he will grant it to you." Although the Kipros army is now being attacked from many sides, Zhao Yougong's expression is quite calm, and he does not show the slightest panic because of this crisis. Over the years, so many winds and waves have come over, and they will not be frightened by the situation in front of them, the only thing to worry about is nothing more than the church corps, if they are not defeated as soon as possible, then attacking Yumsburg will become a big problem. For Ding**, time is everything.

Yang Zaixing didn't say anything, Yelusha thought about it again and again, and said very seriously, "Your Highness, the last general has only one request, I hope that His Royal Highness can transfer the Ruifeng battalion over, as long as there is a sharp front battalion, the last general guarantees that he will work together with General Yang, not only to defeat the church corps, but also to open the way to Yumsburg for His Highness, if it can't be done, the last general is willing to be dealt with by military law." ”

The Ruifeng Battalion is definitely the elite of the elite in the army, this is Zhao Yougong's personal guard, but Zhao Yougong did not hesitate at all, he nodded very happily, "The Ruifeng Battalion can be handed over to you, and this king doesn't need you to do more, but he must defeat the church corps." If they can't exterminate this church army, it will be a big trouble in the future, and now they are tired from long distances, and they are tired of people, and it is a good opportunity to start. ”

Zhao Yougong happily agreed, and Yang Zaixing's face also had a smile, he can also serve as the commander of the Ruifeng Battalion, how powerful this army is, he knows better than anyone else, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one is ten. The military situation was urgent, Yerusha and Yang Zaixing thanked them and left in a hurry, Xiao Zhiyun was not in a hurry to leave, rested for a while, then got up and said, "It is estimated that the time is almost up, there should be news from Festak City, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

"Let's go together" Zhao Yougong stood up, stretched his waist easily, and in the face of many difficulties, he still had a calm and unhurried ease, which is also what Xiao Zhiyun likes about him. Zhao Yougong walked out of the tent with Xiao Zhiyun, as for Sanniang, she stayed, and the garrison of Psk City will catch up soon, and she has to cooperate with Dongfang Jin to block the Psk garrison. This is a tired army, it is not enough to deal with it at all, Dongfang Jin has already dealt with it.

The battle of Festaq gradually became clear, and under the supervision of Yu Xiaochen, the south gate of the city had been opened, and a large number of soldiers rushed in along the south gate. Opening a city gate means that the whole of Festaq, and it is only a matter of time before the Festaq resistance is resolved. Seeing Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun coming together, Yu Xiaochen couldn't help but be surprised, "Your Highness, Princess, now that the war is not over, please return to the Chinese army." ”

"Okay, don't make a fuss, if it's still dangerous to stand here, then the king will doubt your ability" Zhao Yougong naturally won't go back, let alone Xiao Zhiyun, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, slowly observing the Festak siege. As Zhao Yougong said, as more and more soldiers rushed in, the Prussian resistance had become weaker and weaker. In the middle of the last hour, the red background and white horse family flag belonging to the Conrad family fell to the ground, and the golden double dragon flag representing the Great Song Empire was waving in the wind at the head of the city. Festak finally beat down, Zhao Yougong smiled slightly, took Xiao Zhiyun's hand and walked side by side towards the city gate, starting from the south city gate, extending all the way to the city lord's mansion on the central street, the street was full of Ding ** soldiers on both sides, some of them were injured, some of them were intact, at this time they all stood on both sides of the street and shouted loudly, yellow skin, white skin, black eyes, blue eyes, different people, proud of this moment, whether it was the Slavs or the original Song people, they all felt a kind of glory as the Great Song Empire," Regent.... Regent.... Great Song.... Great Song... Imperial Victory...."

With arms outstretched and the crowd cheering, the glory of the moment belonged to every Song citizen, with Festak, who not only occupied the throat to the kingdom of Saxony, but also kept the Germanic people of the Istrian plateau out. At this time, Zhao Yougong could say without hesitation, "Lothair, you can't come back!" ”
