Chapter 70: The inside should be combined with the outside
On the ice wall, Zhou Wei was covered in blood, injured and exhausted, if he hadn't tried his best to support him, he would have fallen long ago. Since the Liao army entered the city, he has been fighting on the front line without resting, even if it is for a while.
When the Liao army entered the city, for ordinary soldiers, they only needed to fight, and some could only be physically tortured. For the Xiongzhou guards, Zhou Wei also had mental torture, in addition to the double torture, he became thinner and thinner, plus he was seriously injured, his body became weaker and weaker.
It's just that his strong will supported him, let him fight on the front line, and command calmly, which kept Xiongzhou from falling although it was in danger.
In this case, it is a miracle that Xiongzhou can still hold on to the current season, an absolute miracle. If it were a different person, the courage would be a little inferior, and Xiongzhou City would have fallen long ago.
Nevertheless, the situation in Xiongju is becoming less and less optimistic, and it is a matter of time before it falls.
"General, can we hold Xiongzhou?" Lin Hong was also covered in blood, injured all over his body, emaciated and weakened to the extreme, but he was strong, did not fall, stood beside Zhou Wei, and asked softly.
"Yes!" Zhou Wei didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"General, you have said this many times, but more and more Xiongzhou City has fallen into the hands of Liaogou." Lin Hong's confidence was a little shaken.
You can't blame him, it's really too much of a blow to people's confidence. In this situation, it is the time when Sun Wu, the ancestor of the soldiers, is underground, and he may not be able to turn the tide, and everyone has the confidence to consume it.
"Less nonsense! Shout with me. Zhou Wei glared at Lin Hong, waved his right hand, and with a happy face, he jumped up with joy: "Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers: I just received a military report that reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived!" We are saved! ”
"Where's the help? You're in the army again. Lin Hong couldn't help shaking his head, this Zhou Wei looked quite honest, but where did he think that he was full of lies and couldn't stop telling the army.
"Shut up!" Zhou Wei snorted: "If you don't say so, do you want me to say that we have no reinforcements and no hope?" If you really want to say that, it's not like it's over in the blink of an eye! ”
"Reinforcements are coming, we are saved!" Lin Hong shook his head helplessly, he knew that Zhou Wei was right. At this moment, they can only survive by using lies to boost the morale of the army.
"Roar! Roar! Zhou Wei yelled at the soldiers beside him.
"Reinforcements are coming! We are saved! These soldiers knew that he was lying, and they had to follow him, waving their arms one by one, with a look of joy on their faces, as if reinforcements had really arrived.
The more they roared, the more they looked, and the more they looked like that, even they believed it, and roared more and more happily.
The Song army and the people were infected, and they all cracked their mouths and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming!" We are saved! ”
Some people couldn't help but be happy, tears welled up in their eyes, and they cried with happiness.
But they didn't know that there were no reinforcements at all, this was Zhou Wei fighting the army.
Ye Luming saw it in his eyes, couldn't help shaking his head, and scolded secretly: "This Zhou Wei is really a deceit, obviously there are no reinforcements, he can turn a lie into a truth!" ”
At this time, Yeluming stood on the ground, looking at the Liao army attacking the ice wall, very proud. Xiongzhou, the most important border city of the Song Dynasty in the north, was attacked by the Liao State for hundreds of years, but it was not defeated. And he, only a stone's throw away from victory, is only one step away from occupying Xiongzhou. At that time, he was a great hero of the Liao State. When the Liao army attacks the Central Plains, he will lead a large army, crisscrossing the Central Plains, plundering countless riches and many beauties, and enjoying them to the fullest.
Although Zhou Wei was very courageous, he was well versed in military affairs and commanded properly, which caused him a lot of trouble. However, the general trend has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before Xiongzhou is occupied, so what is this little trouble?
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, Yeluming came to the front of the battle with a blood-dripping scimitar in his hand, looked at the head of the city, and shouted: "Zhou Wei listen: Xiongzhou is under siege of Da Liao, you have no reinforcements, hurry up and return to Da Liao." For the sake of your loyalty, I will spare Xiongzhou and not slaughter the city. ”
"Liaogou, listen, you don't talk nonsense here." Zhou Wei pointed at Yelu and scolded loudly: "Don't slaughter the city? Do you have that kind heart? You will turn Ding Zhuang into a slave and a woman into your plaything, and the people of Xiongzhou will live in misery. Yeluming, you listen well, the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived, if you don't retreat, how much will you regret? When the time comes, you will leave your dog's life here, and don't regret it! ”
Originally, he came to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't expect to scold Zhou Wei, Yeluming was annoyed and angry, and yelled: "Kill the Nanren!" Not a single one to stay! ”
"Kill all the southerners! Not a single one to stay! ”
This kind of thing is exactly what the Liao army likes to do the most, and they are all overjoyed, as if they are starving to death and seeing fragrant meat buns, holding a scimitar, they rush over against the ice wall.
Countless Liao troops are about to rush up, just like the surging tide, crowded with people, a sea of people.
Looking at the charging Liao army, Yelu Ming was extremely proud, raised his head to the sky, and laughed: "Haha! Zhou Wei, where are your ridiculous reinforcements? If there were reinforcements, Ben would give you the head! ”
According to his thoughts, the Song Dynasty cities that could reinforce Xiongzhou were all contained by the Liao army, and it was impossible to have reinforcements. Even if the Song Dynasty wanted to send reinforcements, it would be too late. He only needs to give Song Jun the final blow, and his victory will be ironclad.
However, as soon as one of his smug words fell, he heard an earth-shattering sound.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
The earth-shattering sound made the earth tremble, and the sound was so loud that people's ear drums buzzed.
"Thunder?" Jeremiah heard it in his ears, and he wondered in his heart. Looking up to the sky, I saw dark clouds in the sky, not thunderstorming weather. But where did this sound come from, which is thunder?
"Hmmm! It seems to be behind it. Yeluming turned his head to look, only to see one after another firelight, the Liao army screamed continuously, and the originally dense Liao army flew in the air, dancing with their hands, as if they were thrown out by Hercules.
With just one breath, the dense Liao army ceased to exist, as if the sky had disappeared.
Thrown in the air, there were also stumps and broken arms, broken internal organs, splattered blood, corpses as if they had been wreaked havoc on demons, and there was not a single intact corpse.
Such an injury, not a knife wound, not an arrow wound, not a tooth that can be bitten out, not a fist that can be smashed out, beyond Yeluming's imagination, he can't think of a way to cause such damage, his eyes are round, his eyeballs almost hit the ground, his mouth is wide open, he is directly petrified, and he can't speak.
Not only Yeluming was stunned, but all the Liao troops were stunned. The Liao army has not yet experienced the baptism of thunderbolts, and does not know what a hot weapon war is, and it is even more difficult to understand it than to ascend to the sky.
"The 100,000 troops of the imperial court are coming to help!"
With the earth-shattering sound of explosions and the roar of the sky, there is infinite joy.
For the Liao army, these words have the power to destroy the surname. They were so stunned by the thunderbolt that they couldn't turn a corner. As soon as I heard this, I still believed it, and I couldn't help but change my face greatly, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what is going on.
Song Jun heard it in his ears, but he was happy in his heart, and he cheered loudly: "The imperial court reinforcements are coming!" 100,000 reinforcements from the imperial court are coming! ”
Shicai, listening to Zhou Wei's lies, they have already believed a little. Right now, this voice is coming from behind the Liao army, who else can there be besides the imperial court reinforcements? No one dared to doubt it, rejoicing and laughing. Suddenly, the spirit of the Song army and the people rose sharply, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the original tired army suddenly became a tiger descending from the mountain, and it had inexhaustible strength and inexhaustible energy to slash and kill.
The most surprising thing is Zhou Wei, he was originally a soldier, because he only had lies left, and he had to use lies to attack the army. Where did you think that the lie turned out to be true, and there was really a Song army who came to save them, or it was 100,000.
"100,000 reinforcements! 100,000 reinforcements! ”
Since the Liao army entered the city, Zhou Wei was looking forward to reinforcements the most, he was looking forward to it, but he didn't expect reinforcements, and the disappointments again and again made him unbearable. I never thought that at the most critical juncture, reinforcements really came, and they were 100,000. 100,000 reinforcements arrived, and the remnants of the Liao State were a fart.
"General, this is not a reinforcement from the imperial court, it is a conversion army, this is a thunderbolt! It's a thunderball! It's Brother Wu who has come to reinforce us! Lin Hong heard the explosion of the thunderbolt and was busy reminding Zhou Wei.
"Thunderbolts? Brother Wu? Ah, yes, it's Brother Wu! Zhou Wei was reminded by Lin Hong, and immediately understood, but he was a little disappointed: "I originally thought it was really a 100,000 imperial court army, but I didn't expect it to be just a conversion army." There are few converts, hey! ”
The latter words are not said, but they are also clear, that is, there are too few converts to the army, and they do not have much effect.
"Nope! General, this is our chance. Lin Hong was overjoyed: "There are quite a few people from the Converting Army, no less than thousands. Listen, General, the explosion of this thunderbolt has not stopped. With such a prestige, there must be thousands of people throwing thunderbolts. ”
They used thunderbolts to blow up the goose carts of the Liao army, and although their knowledge of thunderbolts was far inferior to that of Wu Ji, they were not ignorant. Zhou Wei pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, the explosion was earth-shattering, without the slightest sign of stopping, and there must have been a lot of people coming from the Converting Army.
"The conversion army is only five hundred, how can there be thousands of people all at once?" Zhou Wei was a little puzzled, and his brows furrowed.
"Oops! General, it's all about time, and that's all there for. The more converts come, the better, and the better our chances will be. Lin Hong was also surprised that there were more converts. However, now is not the time to solve this problem, and we have to suppress curiosity.
"That's right!" Zhou Wei agreed with Lin Hong's opinion and shouted: "Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court have arrived!" The time has come for our revenge! Kill all the Liao dogs! Avenge! Avenge! ”
At this moment, the most motivating effect on the people is the word "revenge". After the Liao army entered the city, Zhou Wei mobilized the people to fight against the Liao army, and the people who died in the hands of the Liao army did not know how many, and what they wanted to do most was to avenge their relatives.
"Revenge! Avenge! ”
In the shocking roar, I saw the Song army and the people jumping down from the ice wall, waving their weapons, their eyes spraying the flames of hatred, and pounced on the Liao army.
Wu Ji saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding in approval: "Zhou Wei has a good grasp, let's have a good match!" ”
