Chapter 136: The Jedi of the Crippled
The Jincheng army at the head of Jincheng County, as well as the elite of Liangzhou with their backs to the big river, all pointed their spears and arrows at the place when they first arrived, and there were a handful of soldiers who didn't know what to do. There were more than 2,000 remnants. However, anyone can also see that this group of remnants who have lost their fighting spirit, in the face of the Liangzhou soldiers who are waiting for work, have an advantage in numbers, and occupy a favorable location, if they fight, they will definitely have no chance of winning.
At this time, the remnants of the soldiers gathered tightly together, and the sharp arrows above the city, as if the next breath, could penetrate their chests with a cold cold light, so that those of them who had fled for hundreds of miles without dying would welcome the arrival of death in this Jincheng County.
"Wen Yuan! Have you ever seen one? We waited for a lot of hard work, but in exchange for a suspicion! The general turned his back to the sky, and the old tears in the corners of his eyes could no longer be held back, and they slid down his cheeks, and then they were carried away by the strong wind blowing by the river, and fell to the ground behind him.
Liang Wenyuan personally led the Chinese army soldiers to say goodbye to him and went to block the pursuers, and what he said is still in his ears now. The words of his departure echoed in the general's mind repeatedly, torturing his mind.
"Wen Yuan! It's not that Feng is responsible for you! The world is so big, there is no place for us! Shenzhou Bandang, Feng only wishes to fight for the rest of his life, in exchange for the safety of his hometown, but what did he expect, the sky does not fulfill people's wishes! ”
At this time, Jincheng County showed an extremely strange appearance. The remnants looked around, looking at the Liangzhou soldiers staring at the city and the river beach, and they didn't dare to take a breath. And the remnant general was complaining to the sky with tears in his eyes. His rich and loud voice, on the bank of this great river, under the fortified city, with the whining sound of the wind, spread to every corner of the north and south of the river, so that everyone was slightly moved.
"Could it be that we can only bend our bodies and do things to find a way to live for these loyal subordinates?" At this point, the general's face was already hideous, and his eyes were about to split. The words that burst out of his mouth gradually turned into a hoarse roar on the verge of despair.
Jincheng County guarded Zhang Lang and was on his way to the city tower at this time. As soon as the remnants of the army arrived at the city, the captain of the city gate sent people to spread the news to him while strictly ordering his subordinates to prepare for defense.
Hearing that an army of unknown origin had arrived in the city, Zhang Lang couldn't sit still. With his armor on his body, he hurriedly put on his helmet, came out of the county government, and walked straight to the east city gate.
Halfway through, the roar of the remnant generals outside the city mixed with grief and unwillingness had all reached his ears. Zhang Lang frowned when he heard these words, and then he quickened his pace, and when he reached the inside of the city gate, he was already climbing the steps, and soon, he stood in front of the city tower, separated the soldiers who were waiting with crossbows in front of him, and poked his head out to look outside the city.
"I am Zhang Lang, the county guard of Jincheng, who is under the city? And report your name. ”
The remnant general outside the city heard that someone on the city tower had spoken, saying that he was the county guard of Jincheng, and his previous unwillingness had been gone. He dismounted and clenched his fists, and knocked on the ground with a sad expression: "The last general, Feng Ding, was originally a general of Fenwu under the command of Chen Tingshi. Now that Chen Tingshi has been defeated and died, I and my thousands of subordinate soldiers are unwilling to bend their bodies, so they come west, willing to descend to Liangzhou, and be willing to be the pawn of the king! ”
Feng Ding finished speaking, but he didn't respond for a long time, and looked up, Zhang Lang on the city tower looked at him quietly without saying a word. There was a hint of apprehension and suspicion in his eyes. Feng Ding's expression and grief and indignation surged into his heart again.
Even if he led these thousands of subordinates through the mountains and forests of Longxi, he evaded the pursuit and killing of the Hun Liu Zhao. The subordinates who were still smiling in front of him fell one by one on the way to the west, and in his heart, he never felt as deep despair as he did now.
The last pure land in the north could not contain them. can't tolerate these strong men who would rather go west through hardships than bend their bodies. Feng Ding's heart was as if he had been inserted by a sharp blade, and then stirred it violently. Despair and grief dominated him, making him feel as if blood was constantly dripping in his heart.
"Since you said that your ministry is the rest of Chen An's department, and you don't want to do anything, you just fled west to here, and you are willing to surrender to us. How can I trust you? How do I know that you have not lowered your beard? How do I know, you are not the rebels sent by Liu Yao'er to attack Jincheng from inside and outside? Zhang Lang looked at Feng Ding for a long time, and then stood at the head of Jincheng City and said word by word.
Hearing what Zhang Fujun said at the head of the city, every word was like a sharp blade, cutting Feng Ding's bloody heart inch by inch. Feng Ding raised his head, and his eyes were already full of tears. Zhang Fujun's words at the head of the city had already invisibly pronounced the outcome of himself and his subordinates.
The wind was very strong on the river. However, Feng Dingyuan's eyes were open, and he hadn't blinked for a long time. He stood up and looked back a hundred or two paces away, all of his loyal subordinates looking at him with anticipation and hope. Large tears began to slide down the corners of his eyes.
The two sides fell into this strange quiet atmosphere, and the two people at the head of the city and the two people under the city did not speak. The people under the city are in a desperate situation, and the people at the head of the city have decided their fate.
Feng Ding's vision was blurred by tears, and he looked south again. His hometown of Longxi has fallen into the hands of the enemy at this time, and if he is allowed to bring these subordinates to surrender to the enemy at this time, he would rather draw his sword and kill himself. He asked himself, he had no shame to see the thousands of subordinates who fell on the way to the west, let alone Liang Wenyuan, who died fighting for him.
However, if they surrender to the enemy at this moment, then all the sacrifices they have made before will be meaningless. If you surrender to the enemy, it is better to surrender to the enemy in the first place. At least, those loyal subordinates who died on the road, as well as Liang Wenyuan, could have been immortal.
In Feng Ding's line of sight, a few flying horses suddenly came on the road from the south, constantly magnifying and magnifying in his blurred vision. The sound of these galloping horses' hooves knocked on Feng Ding's heart one by one, making his eyes even more sad at this time.
When the few horses galloped over, they turned their heads to look at Feng Ding, who was at a loss, and the soldiers in the distance who were at a loss, but were just huddled together with each other, and their eyes were full of fear. They all looked up at the towering walls of Jincheng County and the sharp arrows pointed at them, and their eyes were as desperate as their general Feng Ding.
The sentry horses galloped to the Jincheng County, looked up at the city, the leading cavalry was dressed in dust, and saw that Zhang Fujun happened to be on the city tower, so he reined in his horse and shouted to the city to convey the military situation.
"Zhang Fujun." As soon as the leading knight stopped, he dismounted, and said to Zhang Lang above the city tower: "The subordinate team of the Guangwu Army Cavalry Battalion led Dong Liang to report that more than 5,000 miles south of this Qingganggou have found more than 3,000 enemy vanguard troops, which are coming here, and it is expected to arrive at dusk. ”
Zhang Lang heard the report, but his brows furrowed involuntarily. Liu Zhao Xianxian, the heart is too fast.
Although Jincheng County is now difficult to overcome, after all, it has not been tested in actual combat, and no one dares to determine what role these temporary heightened and reinforced fortifications can play.
Before Zhang Lang could think about a result, Feng Ding, who was originally like ashes in the city, had a strange look in his eyes. He knelt respectfully in the direction of the tower, and then leaned down with his hands on the ground. It's a rare visit.
"The last general is willing to be the first battle, and fight with Hu Er to the end, Wangfu Jun is gracious!"
Looking at the big salute, Feng Ding, who was prostrate, and Zhang Lang's expression on the city tower were also shocked and suspicious.
Feng Ding was such a tired teacher, and when he heard that Hu Er was coming, he immediately fell to the ground and asked for help. It can be seen that most of what he said earlier is true.
"I hope that the prince of the government can take the wounded soldiers of our department into the city for treatment." Feng Ding continued to bow to the ground, and in his words, he was already a little resolute.
"Hu Zhen is coming to attack, my Jincheng County is not a safe place, why don't you transfer your wounded soldiers to the camp on the north bank." Zhang Lang was still reluctant to open the city gates. However, a compromise plan was proposed, and he was willing to move the wounded soldiers under the city to the camp on the north bank for treatment.
"I will immediately send someone to contact you, and ask General Feng to gather your wounded soldiers and soldiers and transfer them all later." In Zhang Lang's voice, there was no joy or anger.
However, Feng Ding, who was kneeling on the ground, heard that he had been pardoned, he quickly got up, and then got on his horse and turned towards his subordinates.
