Chapter 542: Zhang Liao arrives

No matter how much Wei Yan hated the race of island people, it was an indisputable fact that he still needed to use these people to help him defend the city.

The army of the island country outside the city, in the case of completely losing morale, although it launched several more attacks, but they were driven back by the defenders in the city who had already driven back those hideous people.

Especially in the last impact of the island army, Fa Zheng directly took out half of the arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows was like a basin of cold water poured on the hearts of the island army.

Originally, they thought that after more than a day of hard fighting in the city, there were no more resources to defend the city. But now it seems that everything is a trap, full of scheming.

Although Abe Nagasobu is a little mediocre in leading the army to fight, he also knows that looking at the situation today, it is impossible to capture Hiroshima Castle. Although I was unwilling, I was helpless.

Another night fell, and the defenders of Hiroshima Castle had another night of respite.

After seeing the retreat of the island country's army, those people in the island country left laughing one by one. It's just that their kind of laughter is not like the laughter of escaping death, nor is it like the joy of protecting the family, but only the wanton after the killing.

Looking at the islanders who left the city wall, Fa Zheng frowned.

Fa Zheng had never seen such a person, and he didn't know what to do with these people at this time. Moreover, Fa Zheng did not dare to guarantee what would become of these people.

Previously, when he was in the Han Dynasty, Fa Zheng had also heard that someone had fallen into the path of killing, and killing people was like a mustard. That person is Yuan Shao's account and the next ugly, but. Although Wen Chou entered the killing road. But he was still able to control his own thoughts. It's just to increase your strength with the help of killing.

But these ordinary people of the island country, Fa Zheng does not dare to guarantee that these people have such a mentality.

Fa Zheng was very worried that the people of these island countries would not extend their butcher knives to the soldiers defending the city after their minds were covered up by the killing.

It can be said that these people can now be regarded as veterans, and they can completely help the Han soldiers to defend the city together.

However, even if the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were tired, Fa Zheng and Wei Yan still did not dare to send swords and guns to the hands of those people.

"Filial piety. Today we have lost more than 500 people. Wei Yan and Fa Zheng did not stay with the soldiers on the city wall at this time, but chose a corner where no one was around.

Fa Zheng listened to Wei Yan's words, how could he not know what Wei Yan wanted to express. It's just that Fa Zheng didn't dare to gamble after all. Looking around at the surrounding soldiers, Fa Zheng sighed and said, "The weapon is in the warehouse in the city, do you dare to take it out?" ”

Wei Yan was silent, there are some things that are very simple to say, but if you want to do it. But it takes a lot of courage. Obviously, Wei Yan is a person who does not have such courage.

Both fell silent. The atmosphere was also a little weird all of a sudden. In the end, it was Fa Zheng who broke this silence. "You and I don't dare to gamble, since that's the case, then we can only be sorry for our brothers."

When Fa Zheng said this, the atmosphere between the two became even more dull. If they could, who of them would want to let their brothers who had followed them across the ocean die?

There was no word for the night, and until the sun rose and the sky brightened, the army of the island nation outside the city was also ready to start the third day of siege.

Although he didn't capture Hiroshima Castle for two days in a row, Abe Yongnobu's face was still quite good. On the first day they lost more than 5,000 soldiers, but on the second day they were reduced to just over 3,000. In Abe's view, this is entirely due to the sharp decline in the number of defenders in the city.

On this day, Abe Yongshin believed that the defenders of Hiroshima Castle would definitely not be able to withstand their attack. Perhaps, the defenders of the castle will fight the trapped beasts, but as long as Abe believes that he is not afraid of sacrifice, he will definitely be able to take Hiroshima Castle.

Besides, Abe Espresso is indeed not afraid of sacrifice, and it is not him who is going to attack the city anyway.

On this day, although Fa Zheng and the others could see that these defenders of the Han Dynasty were a little tired, the weapons in their hands were still a bow and arrow, a few arrows, and a pile of stones and rolling logs behind them.

With the siege experience of the first two days, the army of the island country has also made a lot of progress, at least in the case of some fear in the heart, it can still put up a neat formation.

At the same time, this time, the allocation of non-commissioned soldiers in the island country is also more reasonable, the proportion of shield soldiers has increased significantly, and the quality of cover is much better than that of the previous two days.

Looking at the soldiers of the island country who were constantly approaching the city wall, Wei Yan and Fa Zheng's faces were not very good-looking. They all knew that if they were able to repel the island's soldiers on this day, they would be sure to hold Hiroshima Castle for at least five days.

However, there is a more critical one, and the possibility that they will not be able to hold Hiroshima Castle today is even greater.

"Brothers, if you don't defend the city today, I promise that you will definitely die in front of your eyes." Before the army of the island country entered the range of the arrows on the city wall, Fa Zheng stood in front of all the people and said to the soldiers of the big man.

Fa Zheng's words were said in the language of the Han Dynasty, and after listening to the words of the Han Dynasty, the morale of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty was immediately shocked. It was the people of those island countries who looked at the appearance of the Han soldiers, and they were also a little serious.

This time, the soldiers of the island nation did not suffer much loss before they landed in the city. There were shield guards in front of them, and some small rocks were also blocked by them.

It was the smoothest rush to the city wall, and before the soldiers of the island country had time to be happy, they were beaten down with knives and guns by the Han soldiers on the city wall.

It's just that as more and more ladders are mounted on the city wall, there are more and more island soldiers on the city wall. And the more soldiers of the island country who climbed the city wall, the weakness of the insufficient number of soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty was also reflected.

However, at this time, the people on the city wall also reflected their role. Although they were not issued knives and guns, out of protection for their families, and with a slight bloodthirsty desire, they either picked up the weapons of the dead soldiers, or simply picked up a stone and rushed forward.

The soldiers on both sides fought together, and the battle situation suddenly became extremely tragic. In particular, the soldiers of the island country who besieged the city still had a large number of reinforcements, but the defenders in the city fell and there was one less.

Fa Zheng waved the sword in his hand, and after killing an enemy soldier in front of him, he looked around, but found that the number of island soldiers on the city wall had already exceeded the number of soldiers defending the city.

If it weren't for the help of those people on the city wall, the city would have been lost by now. Just when Fa Zheng was in infinite despair in his heart, he found that those island soldiers who were about to climb the city wall actually retreated.

"What's going on?"

All of a sudden, this question arose in the hearts of everyone who discovered this anomaly.

However, the doubt didn't last long before they understood what was going on.

Outside the city walls, thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared, rushing towards the formation of the soldiers of the island country outside the city walls. Those soldiers of the island country were all set their eyes on Hiroshima Castle, who would have thought that there would be a cavalry rushing towards them?

Abe Yongshin watched a cavalry rush towards them, and he simply didn't dare to bother with his own eyes. But the reality is that even if Abe doesn't believe it anymore, it's true.

In desperation, Abe Yongshin could only withdraw his troops. Otherwise, to let the unprepared foot soldiers encounter the cavalry in a wilderness would be self-defeating.

The army of the island country retreated, and the soldiers of the island country who climbed the city wall suddenly lost the courage to fight again. And when the reinforcements in the city saw that there were cavalry killed, they immediately understood that this was the reinforcement sent by Ye Mo. In this way, the morale of the defenders in the city was also high, and the situation was directly reversed, and it turned into a soldier who pressed the island country.

After the cavalry outside the city drove away the army of the island nation, they did not continue the pursuit. After cooperating with the defenders at the head of the city to force the soldiers of the island country who could not leave to surrender, those cavalry also entered the city from the city gate under the gaze of Fa Zheng and Wei Yan.

This cavalry was none other than the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao.

Ye Mo also knew that they couldn't get to Hiroshima City in time with their army, so he also asked Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry first.

And Zhang Liao also arrived in time, not letting Fa Zheng and Wei Yan's previous efforts and perseverance be in vain. (To be continued.) )
