Chapter 406 The city breaks Jinzhou, Pingyang City.

More than a mile away from the city, a three-meter-high platform was built. The obese Gao Yanzong was standing under the parasol on the high platform, angrily looking at the dilapidated Jinyang City outside the city, looking at the veteran of the city commander who was resolutely standing like a pine and cypress, and shouted: "Liang Shiyan, Yuwen Yong has withdrawn to Chang'an and abandoned you." Don't you old horseman still want to surrender? ”

Liang Shiyan, whose words are similar, is one of the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If Yang Jian's titles and official qualities are mostly inherited from his father, then Liang Shiyan's official titles are exchanged for real military merits.

When Yu Wenyong withdrew his troops, he was able to hand over the heavy responsibility of guarding Jinju to him, obviously because he took a fancy to the heavy and calm temperament of this general. Only a veteran like him, who has been tempered by blood and fire, can complete this arduous task.

Liang Shiyan did not disappoint Yuwen Yong, for three days, no matter how Gao Yanzong's 40,000 army stormed, Pingyang City was still in the hands of the Zhou army, and he Liang Shiyan was still standing on the wall in high spirits, without the slightest fear.

"Tall and fat, if you have the ability, you will attack the city, and Hugh will howl loudly below!" Liang Shiyan looked at Gao Yanzong with disdain.

"Old horseman, this is your own death, don't blame this king for not giving you a chance!" Gao Yanzong trembled with anger, his eyes were about to split, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Attack, all-out attack, be sure to set foot in Pingyang City before evening!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The dull drums of war pierced the silence of the early morning, and the breath of slaughter once again shrouded the decadent and dilapidated Pingyang City.

"Kill!"

With Gao Yanzong's order, 30,000 Northern Qi soldiers quickly took action. After three days of fighting, only 30,000 of the 40,000 Qi troops still have combat effectiveness, and such heavy casualties can be seen the tragedy of the war between the two sides.

The catapult let out a roar and threw the big stones at the city wall, and the sword and shield hand roared angrily, erected a ladder, crashed the city car, and ran frantically towards Pingyang City. Although the shouts of killing still shook the world, everyone was a little numb. Anyone who is in such an environment for three days in a row will be immune to this sound.

"Archers prepare," looking at the swarming Qi army, letting the Qi army's catapults continue to bombard Pingyang City under his feet, Liang Shiyan did not move at all, his face sank like water, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes, until enough Qi troops entered the range of archers, he shouted coldly: "Release!" ”

Although the popularity of the Northern Qi Dynasty has been lost a lot because of Gao Wei's perverse actions and the corruption of officials, the Zhou army could not do it in a moment if he wanted to completely digest Pingyang City. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Liang Shiyan had to come up with a lot of money and food to help the civilians, coupled with the consumption of these three days, the materials hoarded in Pingyang City can be said to be very little, so Liang Shiyan must give full play to every strength.

"Whoosh!"

Sporadic rain of arrows rained down from the city, sparse but still deadly. Under the deliberate action of the Zhou army, all the arrows went towards the Qi soldiers who were carrying the ladders and crashing into the city car.

"Puff puff!"

The sharp arrows ruthlessly pierced through the flesh of the Qi soldiers, causing their running bodies to fall to the ground fiercely, and the siege equipment in their hands also fell to the ground.

"Kill!"

Although each ladder will go through hardships before reaching the head of Pingyang City, in the face of Gao Yanzong's ruthless and tyrannical butcher's knife, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty also burst out with amazing courage, going forward one after another, and frantically rushing towards Pingyang City.

They knew that only by attacking Binh Duong City and achieving the final victory could they survive and live the life of their dreams, and that only death awaited them when they fled and retreated. The sentence that the law does not blame the public does not work here in Gao Yanzong, all he wants is the result, just Pingyang City.

Although Xu Song was exhausted and dizzy after three days of non-stop fighting, he still stubbornly held the blade in his hand, squeezing a trace of strength from his dry body, for the pride of the soldiers, his wife and children at home.

"Die!"

Xu Song's voice was hoarse like a mad beast, and his eyes were red and swollen, as if they were about to drip blood, but the steel knife in his hand still quickly slashed at the chest and abdomen of a Qi soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city.

There was a "hiss" sound, and the thin leather armor was suddenly torn apart, and at the same time, the abdominal cavity of the Qi sergeant was torn. Red blood, pale yellow grease slipped out of the wound, it was so hideous and disgusting. But in this tragic battlefield, there is purgatory on earth everywhere, and everyone's hearts are as cold, hard and numb as iron and stone.

"Bump!"

Xu Song smiled cruelly and kicked the screaming Qi army out of the city wall. Although Pingyang City collapsed a lot with the fierce battle of three days, only seven or eight meters high, this was enough to smash the seriously injured Qi army into meat sauce.

However, before Xu Song could slack off in order to kill the enemy, a Qi soldier slashed at his leg with a cruel knife at this time.

"Ahh Xu Song screamed, his body staggered back a few steps, knelt on one knee, his pale face was covered with sweat because of pain, and his already heavy breathing was even more rapid.

"Die, thief Zhou!" The Qi army was unforgiving, roaring fiercely, with a hideous face like a mad beast, and pounced on Xu Song fiercely again.

"Don't think!" Xu Song's heart was ruthless, he roared angrily, stood up suddenly, and the slightly curled steel knife in his hand swung forward fiercely.

"Poof!"

Hit! Xu Song was overjoyed, but then he was shocked, and he looked down in disbelief, and saw a snow-bright steel knife embedded in his chest, and the gurgling blood was so dazzling.

"Hey!" Xu Song gasped with difficulty, roared, and forcefully pulled out the steel knife that was slashing at the enemy's shoulder and neck. Because of his excessive strength, his whole body also fell backwards.

"Bang!"

Although he fell straight to the ground, Xu Song did not feel a trace of pain. Feeling the loss of strength in his body, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, he sighed silently and slowly closed his eyes. When the eternal darkness comes, there is no resentment, no anger in his eyes, only nostalgia, relief.

Although the soldiers of Qi did not die on the spot, they were also seriously injured. However, before he could make evasive moves, a Zhou soldier who filled Xu Song's place ruthlessly ended his life.

The same thing was playing out all over Pingyang City, and for their respective purposes and beliefs, the battle between the Zhou and Qi armies had reached a white-hot stage. Countless people fall at every turn, but there are also countless people who join.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers.

Without bows and arrows, rolling wood and thunder stones, the Zhou army demolished the houses in the city and replaced them with rafters. By noon, a raging fire was burning under the city of Pingyang, and the smoke of ink was rolling on the city, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Soldiers, today is our time of death, but I will die before you!" Although Liang Shiyan is nearly sixty years old, the strength on his shoulders is definitely not small, and the sword on his waist dances vigorously.

Although there were still nearly 10,000 people left in the city, including the Qi army that surrendered to the Zhou State, Liang Shiyan's heart became heavier and heavier looking at the crumbling Pingyang City.

"Kill!"

Liang Shiyan took the lead, but also inspired the belief that the Northern Zhou soldiers would win, everyone was brave and tragic, fierce fighting, with one hundred, the shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and even swept away the decline in a moment, and once again resisted the offensive of the Qi army.

"Rice buckets, rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Looking at the retreating Qi army, Gao Yanzong was so angry that he shouted loudly, and his strong feet stomped the wooden floor loudly.

"Beat the drums, charge, you must rush into Cheng before sunset, otherwise you will all be brought to this king!"

All the Qi generals dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only vent all their anger on the ordinary soldiers, urging and scolding, and preparing for the next round of attacks.

……

"Folks, the faint king is unreasonable, conniving at traitorous ministers and corrupt officials to do whatever they want, and bullying us wantonly. My emperor is eloquent and benevolent, and he can't bear the suffering of the people of Qi, so he sends troops to attack Qi and relieve the people from fire and water. ”

"Now, Gao Wei is coming, only by repelling him, can we no longer endure the bullying of the tyrant, live a stable and prosperous life, father and son filial piety, neighborly blind date is no longer empty words! Although Gao Yanzong outside the city is arrogant and arrogant, as long as we survive tomorrow, our emperor's reinforcements will be able to arrive, and at that time, the siege of the Qi army will naturally be resolved. ”

"Folks, I, Liang Shiyan, swore on the same day that I am willing to live and die with Pingyang! Folks, for the sake of our children and grandchildren no longer being pressured by the faint monarchs and ministers, and for the sake of living a prosperous life for themselves, I implore you to join forces with me to fight against the Qi army! ”

"Folks, I beg you!" Liang Shiyan said, and fell to his knees on the ground.

"My lord! Checkmate! The soldiers and civilians of Pingyang City all exclaimed, and many people burst into tears, not only worried about the fate of Pingyang City, but also shocked and moved by Liang Shiyan's actions.

"Swear to live and die with Pingyang, swear to live and die with the general, overthrow the tyranny, and bring down the dog emperor!"

At first, it was only a sporadic cry, but soon it became one, like a Lang tide, one Lang higher than the other.

Listening to the cold sound of the earth shaking and shaking from the city, and feeling the high morale of Pingyang City, Gao Yanzong's fair and fat face almost turned dark blue, "Attack, attack!" Give this king to Pingyang and wipe out all the chaotic ministers and thieves! ”

"Kill!"

With the roar of the Qi army in unison, the war began again. Under the pressure of Gao Yanzong, the attack of the Qi army became even more crazy, and the battle of the Zhou army was even more tragic when they fought against the water.

"Boom!"

When night fell, with a loud sound like thunder, Pingyang City, which was not majestic, could no longer withstand the onslaught of the Qi army, and was dug down by the Qi army and collapsed with a bang.

"Roar-" Qi Jun suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers, one by one as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they threw off their legs and were about to rush into the city. Gao Yanzong was also overjoyed, and was about to order his personal guards to escort him into the city, but Gao Wei's order suddenly came from the rear: the army was temporarily stopped, waiting for the emperor to come and break the city in person.
