Chapter Fifty-Five: Difficult and Trapped, Breaking Through the Clouds and Seeing the Sky

The time of two days arrived quickly, which was undoubtedly bad news for Xu Jue, on the contrary, the morale of Shanyue was greatly boosted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brothers, now that Sanyang Kaitai, this sun is shining on me uncomfortably! Ha ha! Chaisan has become an earthen city again, give me an attack! Break the city! Grab money and food! Rob a woman! Pan Lin looked at the sunny sky with the rising sun and the melting of ice and snow, and laughed.

When the Shanyue soldiers heard this, they suddenly looked like evil wolves, their eyes were full of greedy light, and they screamed in unison: "Money and food!" Woman! Kill! ”

Pan Lin roared: "Brothers! Today I set a rule, as long as I kill a Han army, I will reward a woman, kill two to be a captain, three to be a chief, and so on, kill ten Han soldiers, be the leader of my Shanyue tribe, and enjoy endless wealth! ”

"Whoa! ……”

Stimulated twice by Pan Lin in succession, the Shanyue soldiers were like tigers who didn't know the smell of meat in March, impatient, just waiting to rush to the delicious lamb and tear it to pieces frantically.

"Rush!"

Under Pan Lin's order, Chang Ju, Huang Chao, and Fei Zhan led 50,000 Shanyue soldiers to begin the siege, carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles to all enter the field, with great momentum.

Xu Jue had already personally supervised the battle in Chaisang City, and at this moment his heart was tight, his fists were sweating, and he was staring at the black and oppressive Shanyue under the city.

Seeing Shanyue stepping into the land of an arrow, Huarong Wang Yanzhang shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

The arrows on the city wall rained down like rain, densely, shooting into the Shanyue army, and suddenly fell a piece, and the one behind was fearless, moving forward, stepping over the corpse of the friend in front, and continuing to charge, just for one belief: money and food women.

In the past two days, more than 30,000 arrows were made, plus some oil, according to Xu Jue's expectations, these two days should be enough, after all, the day after tomorrow is when the reinforcements arrive, and in this more than one day, more than 10,000 arrows can be made.

The Shanyue army did not have any tactics, that is, relying on instinctive reactions, the advantage of numbers, and the stimulation of Pan Lin, they charged frantically, and kept attacking Chaisang, and the high walls of Chaisang City were thick, and this face was like a sharp spear piercing a hard shield.

After Shanyue attacked the city for two hours, the defending soldiers gradually lacked strength, and Xu Jue urgently ordered the reserve personnel to make up for it and continue to resist the enemy. You go up the ladder, and I pour fire oil back and forth, which has been in the white-hot stage, and there is no obvious advantage on either side.

In the evening, Xu Jue's army finally revealed the disadvantage of insufficient troops: after fighting for a day, although the Shanyue army was strewn with corpses all over the field, and the corpses under the city were piled up like mountains again, but he also killed more than a thousand archers, Hua Rong was shot in the right arm by Chang Ju's arrow, temporarily lost his command ability, and was helped down by Xu Jue to rest, and he personally supervised the battle.

"My lord! The right wall can't resist! Suddenly, a lieutenant hurriedly ran over, looking anxious, "Lord! The Shanyue soldiers crossed the city, and the city defense on the right opened a gap! ”

When Xu Qi heard this, he hurriedly looked, only to see Shanyue's soldiers climbing the city wall one after another, slashing at his own soldiers with big swords, and Li Kuizheng led the heavy axe soldiers to fight Shanyue.

Although Li Kui was fined 40 with a rod the day before yesterday, in fact, the soldier in charge of the execution only gave him a "massage" 40 times, and he didn't use any force at all, so Li Kui now has the strength to stare at a pair of bull's eyes while roaring angrily, wielding a pair of steel plate axes to slash Shanyue, venting his hatred for Shanyue.

The Shanyue army is an outlaw, fighting fiercely, fighting for life, and not afraid of death; But Li Kui is even more of a killing god, just like his title, he is a heavenly killer!

I saw him roaring angrily, slashing a pair of plate axes straight to Shanyue's neck, frantically harvesting human heads, this is not the end, seeing that Shanyue's body has not fallen, blocking the route of his own slashing, and blocking the waist with a plate axe, cutting the body into two sections, before continuing to kill the next Shanyue, the face of the direct killing is full of blood, like the Shura ghost of purgatory, stunned to kill Shanyue without courage, scared and trembling, where is there the madness of the woman for money and food a moment ago.

Li Kui's heavy axe soldiers are also bloody people, seeing that Shanyue is so crazy, they are even more crazy, fighting "whooping" and screaming, roaring and chopping down Shanyue's head, and because of the protection of the group players, even if Shanyue wants to sneak attack, it is very difficult to succeed, so although there are constantly Shanyue going to the city, but there is only no danger, and it is impossible to break through the defense of the group players.

Under the city, Pan Lin put his hand in front of his forehead, looked into the city, and saw that although the mountain had crossed the city, there seemed to be no much movement, and he was deeply surprised, and his black and thick brows were twisted into the shape of "Sichuan".

Back to Chaisang, those who climbed on the ladder heard the terrible screams on the city wall, and blood splattered down from time to time, and suddenly became timid, and gradually slowed down, and after a while, they were forced back by Li Kui and others.

Pan Lin was annoyed when he saw this, and saw that he couldn't break through the city with a large number of people, so he had to withdraw his troops.

This battle is undoubtedly difficult for Chaisang, although he finally held the city, but what gave Xu Qi a headache was that the general Hua Rong was injured, and he also lost a thousand soldiers, so far more than 2,000 people have been lost, and there are still more than 14,000 people left in the full battle, when will the plan to break the three cities be realized?

Pan Lin returned to the camp tent, counted it, and probably killed more than 9,000 soldiers, and said with a serious face: "But in four days, nearly one-third of our soldiers in Shanyue were killed, and Chaisang only consumed a lot of resources, and we have no advantage in addition, do we still have to fight this battle?" Pan Lin, a man with five big and three rough faces, rarely showed a confused look.

The rest of the small leaders were also silent, all thinking about the pros and cons, although they were not afraid of death, but no one wanted to pay for this kind of bad debt of killing a thousand enemies and losing 10,000 themselves.

After being silent for a long time, Pan Lincai patted the handsome case, slowly spoke, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "I'll wait and rest, wait for my spirit, and then attack the city with all my strength tomorrow, if I don't win, hey...... Let's think about it separately! At the end, he closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

When Chang Ju and the others heard this, they also sighed very unspiritedly: "Obey!" ”

In Chaisang City, Xu Jue counted the fallen soldiers, and said in his mind: "My lord, I have obtained 10,112 merit points in this battle, and the current total is 51,345 points. ”

"Hey! These are all bought in exchange for the lives of our soldiers! War! Scold! Xu Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and after appeasing the soldiers, he immediately went to visit Hua Rong's mansion.

As soon as he stepped into Hua Rong's house, Hua Rong said apologetically: "Lord, the last general is injured and it is inconvenient to salute, please forgive me." ”

Xu Jue looked at his right arm wrapped in gauze, and smiled heartily: "It's okay if you don't salute." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" , and then Hua Rong wondered: "The city is defended?" ”

Xu Qi nodded and sighed: "Thanks to Li Kui and his godbrothers, otherwise I'm afraid the city wall will be broken." ”

Hua Rong was silent, and after a pause, he said: "Lord, there is a word, and the last general doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xu Qi looked at Hua Rong's handsome face, with a look of wanting to say something, and smiled with relief: "Brother Hua Rong, do you still have anything I can't say?" ”

Hua Rong smiled slightly: "Thank you, lord, since this is the case, I will say it directly, this Li Kui's heavy axe soldier seems to be ......"

Xu Jue knew what he meant, he was saying that the heavy axe soldiers seemed to only obey Li Kui's orders, that day Xu Jue wanted to behead Li Kui, and more than 500 people actually knelt down together to beg for death, although Xiao Sanguo said that Li Kui was 100% loyal to him, and Li Kui in the Water Margin was a diehard loyalist of Song Jiang, but Xu Jue was still not very comfortable.

Xu Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Hua Rong is too worried, although Brother Tie Niu is reckless by nature, he is absolutely loyal to me, since we are both generals, we should trust each other, shouldn't we?" ”

Hua Rong opened his mouth, and then a thousand words turned into a sigh: "The lord is generous, the end will not be enough, there is nothing to say." ”

Xu Jue smiled and patted Hua Rong's tall shoulder: "Okay!" Hello rest life, I'll go first. ”

Hua Rong smiled: "Congratulations to the lord." ”

Back in the mansion, Xu Jue calculated that tomorrow would be Shanyue's death, so he returned to the city wall again, and strictly ordered everyone to patrol carefully, not to slack off, to prevent Shanyue from attacking at night.

In this way, everyone spent the night in tension, did not find any abnormal movements, and finally won a bright day.

Early the next morning, that is, on the fifth day, Xu Qi woke up early, thinking about who should lead the troops out of the city, and joined Gao Zhong and Sun Jian's reinforcements to attack Shanyue, and finally decided on an ideal candidate: he personally led Li Kui, Wei Yan, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Zhi and others to meet the enemy.

Today's Shanyue soldiers are very different from yesterday, just like zombies on TV, as if there is no fear, no pain, only know how to charge, and the speed of charging is also much faster.

Xu Jue and the others worked hard to defend it, and it was extremely difficult, but they ran out of arrows and oil in two hours, so they could only put down their bows and arrows, and use short swords, broadswords, and spears to resist Shanyue's attack.

After defending the city for so many days, and now that the ammunition and food have run out, Xu Qi saw that the morale of the soldiers was low, so he encouraged:

"Soldiers, when General Sun Wentai leads his troops to help, you will kill me hard when the time comes! Kill one and reward a thousand; kill two people, and the official will be promoted to one level; Kill ten people and be named a partial general! ”

When the soldiers heard this, their fighting spirit was high, and they shook the mountains with shouts: "Good! ”

Suddenly worked a lot, slashed and killed a lot of Shanyue, even if Shanyue desperately jumped on the city wall, but he was still killed in an instant, and he couldn't further expand the offensive.

Xu Jue breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the increasingly rising sun, and looked at the southwest from time to time, hoping to see a troop with a signboard with the word "Sun".

Now Xu Qi only feels that life is like a year, and he can't wait to get a time accelerator and look forward to Sun Jian's troops as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a word came, and Xu Jue only felt his nerves numb and his spirits lifted.

"Haha! Look, Lord! Reinforcements are coming! ”
