Chapter 55: The Dead General of Attack and Defense
"County magistrate, the humble position is about to be unstoppable." The subordinate officials who were guarding the location of Xu Zhendengcheng ran to Song Yu and cried: "Please ask the county magistrate to save me!" ”
Song Yu picked up his subordinates and comforted: "You go back first, and then I will personally rescue you." ”
Hearing this, the subordinate returned to his post with peace of mind, and handed over all the headaches to Song Yu.
"County duke, our side is now overstretched, how can we transfer troops to rescue. Besides, these soldiers are the elite of the enemy, and most of our soldiers are ordinary people, how can we repel them. Peng Wei walked up to Song Yu and reminded.
"No matter what, this Pengcheng must be defended, I hope what I said just now can arouse the fighting spirit of the people, and hold on for a while." Song Yu sighed and said helplessly.
At this moment, Song Yu's family ran Song Wei to Song Yu, and Song Yu asked excitedly as soon as he saw him: "Wei Xu, have you done what I asked you to do?" ”
"Yu Gongzi, in the next mission, visited more than 20 households in the homes of the officials and gentry, and admired more than 1,000 elite family soldiers, and now I am here to give orders."
Song Yu hugged Song Wei when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Uncle Wei, you are really my lucky star!" ”
Song Wei was stunned, not knowing what to say, and then Song Yu ordered again: "Song Wei listens to the order, I order you to lead a thousand Mude soldiers to hurry up to the city and follow me to repel the enemy army." ”
Song Yu clearly understood the situation of the current war in his heart: the side defending the city relied on the advantage of numbers to divide and surround all the enemies who landed in the city, hoping to exterminate the enemy army. The enemy's way to deal with it is to hold on to the current area of the city, as long as the follow-up forces come up, they will quickly lead a large number of soldiers to the city, and then the defenders will not have the advantage of numbers, and they will definitely not be able to resist. It can be said that the tactical arrangements of the two sides were not seriously wrong, so the war became a race against the times. If Song Yu defeated the enemy army on the domain before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, the city would be defended, otherwise, it would not be held. Therefore, Song Yu did not let Song Wei and Mu recruit soldiers to rest, so he let them enter the battlefield immediately.

"Who can kill me?" Xu Zhen snorted at the head of the city. The voice reached Song Yu, who was rushing to Xu Zhen's location
"Someone will come forward and help me slay this thief?" Song Yu asked fiercely.
"The county prince, the villain is willing to live and share the worries of the adult." As soon as Song Yu's words fell, a long and sturdy soldier stepped forward to make his debut.
Xiao Bing dressed in the crowd, walked in front of Xu Zhen, and said, "I'll fight you." In the lower Chu Guogu Su Wu Ning. ”
"In the Lower Chu State, Pengcheng, Xu Zhen." After Xu Zhen reported his name, he quickly pulled out the sword in his waist and stabbed Wu Ning directly.
"Despicable people, they actually sneak attacked." Wu Ning exclaimed. Then he leapt past the sword that stabbed at him.
"Don't talk much, draw your sword quickly, this is the battlefield, a place where the winner is king, and the loser is the villain." Xu Zhen's sword was like a swimming dragon, and the sword slashed towards Wu Ning again.
Seeing this, Wu Ning hurriedly pulled out the sword under his waist as a shield. With a "bell", the blades intersected, and both of them took a step forward, pushing the blades of their swords to each other's necks with all their strength, wanting to kill each other with one blow. After a few seconds of fighting, both of them instantly realized that the other party was a master, and it was impossible to kill the other party with this move alone. So Wu Ning and Xu Zhen invariably chose to exert their strength suddenly, and for a while, both of them were forced to take a few steps back by each other.
Wu Ning, who was stumbling, was helped, he turned his head to look, and suddenly found that it was the county prince who was holding him, and he whispered to Song Yu: "County lord, the enemy general is not a weak person, if you want to solve him, I'm afraid it will take some time." There is a plan for the humble position, it is better for me to drag the enemy general, and the county prince will solve the enemy general's subordinates first, and when the enemy general has no helper, it will be easy for us to kill him, I don't know if it is feasible. ”
"That's smart, young man, I think it's doable. Just do as you say, and I'll do your best. Song Yu laughed when he heard this, and praised Wu Ningdao.
At the same time, Xu Zhen was also supported by several subordinates, Xu Zhen whispered solemnly to his subordinates: "Follow me closely, hurry back to the place where the ladder is, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover you, you have to rely on yourself to resist several times the enemy army, remember to take as many brothers as possible to go to the city, so that you can last longer." ”
After Xu Zhen went to the city, he led his men to attack everywhere, although the soldiers defending the city had no power to fight back and occupied a large place, but with the counterattack and encirclement of the defending army, they were also squeezed farther and farther away from the city by the team defending the city with the advantage of numbers, which is why Xu Ren under the city could not give Xu Zhen instant assistance. Now Xu Zhen realized this problem, so he immediately corrected it.
"Do you understand?" Xu Zhen looked around at everyone and asked in a low voice.
"No." Xu Zhen's subordinates also replied in low voices. After ordering his subordinates, Xu Zhen shouted loudly, rushed straight to the location of the city with his sword, and Xu Zhen's subordinates followed closely behind.
"Oh no, they want to escape." As soon as Song Yu saw Xu Zhen's actions, he immediately said to Wu Ning beside him: "Can't let them escape, Ning Zhuangshi, you go and drag down the enemy general, and I will take care of those little minions." ”
"No!" Wu Ning answered, and then rushed towards Xu Zhen. At the same time, in the other four encirclements on the city, Xu Zhen's men were heavily attacked. Because there was no general like Xu Zhen to lead the team, they moved around the city wall like a headless fly, and the new soldiers were different from the common people who defended the city, most of them had practiced martial arts, and their combat effectiveness was not weak, so without assistance, gradually, they all died on the city. By three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhen and his ten or so men were left in the city.
From the beginning of the siege to Song Wei leading reinforcements, from Xu Zhen being besieged to three o'clock in the afternoon, in this stage, Xu Ren saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he led all the soldiers and horses who had not landed in the city to organize seven or eight attacks, but with the injection of fresh blood, the defenders increased their strength for a while, and they repelled all his attacks.
"General, the children's casualties are too serious, there is no need to bury the entire team for the sake of a deputy general Xu." Xu Jiang, the commander of Xu Yan's personal guard battalion, could no longer hold back his words to Xu Ren after the failure of the ninth attack. Xu Yu, who has always obeyed Xu Ren's orders, also echoed after hearing Xu Jiang's words, and stood on the opposite side of him for the first time.
Xu Ren still has about 600 soldiers, most of whom are Xu Jiang and Xu Yu's subordinates, so when he raised objections, Xu Ren was not able to insist decisively. So Xu Ren begged Xu Jiang and Xu Yu and said: "Fifth brother, Commander Jiang, for the sake of the face, I will attack again, I believe that Xu Zhen will definitely rush to the location of Dengcheng." ”
Xu Jiang saw that Xu Ren begged him, but he couldn't shirk it, so he agreed, and Xu Yu also agreed.
"Brother Xu Zhen, I tried my best, this is your last chance, hurry back." When organizing the soldiers and horses, Xu Ren thought so.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Ren initiated the last political advance, and at this time, Xu Zhen was also separated and surrounded by his personal guards and fell into a heavy siege. Xu Zhen's martial arts are strong, Wu Ning tried his best to fight with Xu Zhen, and the sound of "bell, bell, bell......" The sound of the intersecting blades was endless. And his subordinates' martial arts were mediocre, and gradually, they were captured by Song Yu one by one and then killed.
"General, you must escape." After the last of his men shouted, there was no more sound, and Xu Ren knew that he was afraid that all his men would be more than lucky. With the expectation of his subordinates, Xu Zhen shouted, and the sword momentum became even more powerful. He threw out seven or eight sword tips and stabbed Wu Yu directly, Wu Ning was unstoppable for a while, and had to retreat again and again, Xu Zhen was getting closer and closer to the place where he landed in the city.
"What a move?" Wu Ning, who almost died under the sword, asked with affection.
"The Heavenly Maiden scatters flowers. The original Xu Guo's secret technique, I haven't seen it! If you don't want to die, give way. Xu Zhen smiled and said intimidatingly.
"I respect the order of the county magistrate to fight with you, and I promised him that he would kill you. People must not speak without faith, otherwise how can they build heaven and earth. You want me to let you go, delusional. Now, unless you kill me, you won't be able to escape. Wu Ning replied, his tone full of firm conviction.
"If so, then it is offended." Xu Zhen didn't say a word, and once again resorted to the Heavenly Maiden's scattered tricks. This time, Wu Ning didn't go to block it, and the sword stabbed him straight into the waist and abdomen. When Xu Zhen's sword entered Wu Ning's body, Wu Ning threw the sword in his hand at Xu Zhen with lightning speed, and then grabbed Xu Zhen's sword with both hands. Xu Zhen couldn't draw his sword, so he could only abandon the sword to dodge, at this moment, Wu Ning quickly pulled out the sword from his body and stabbed Xu Zhen directly, Xu Zhen didn't have time to avoid the sword momentum, and the sword ruthlessly inserted into Xu Zhen's heart.
"What kind of move is this?" Xu Zhen, who was in the middle of the sword, saw that he couldn't be happy, and asked unwillingly.
"The Yue Nu sword fights for her life." Wu Ning pressed his waist and replied, "You are the first person to force me to use this trick." ”
When Xu Zhen heard this, he shouted: "Heaven will kill me!" However, he died unwillingly.
Xu Ren heard Xu Zhen's shouts from a distance, and seeing that there was no hope of help, he had to hurriedly withdraw his troops, and the soldiers retreated from the ladder one after another.
Shortly after Xu Zhen fell, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jian also led an army of 2,000 troops to the city. The scarred Xu Ren greeted Wang Jian under the city with the support of his subordinates
