Fortunately, Yang Bo has been arranging the garrison of the high platform, so he is not flustered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info plus the people and horses who wanted to rescue Liangzhou were driven back by Qiu Luan, and the strength of defending the city was correspondingly enhanced.

But Liangzhou's defensive situation was not so lucky. Although Xiao Han has been resisting desperately, he can't withstand the crazy attack of the Tartars outside the city. There are now less than 6,000 people left in the city, and then these forces are distributed to various gates for defense, which is really stretched compared to the huge Liangzhou City.

In addition, Qiu Luan has been using the pretext of strengthening the defense of Ganzhou City to transport a few more new artillery pieces away from Liangzhou City, so when the Tartars came to attack, there were only two new artillery pieces left in Liangzhou City. During the defense of the city in the past few days, all the shells have long been exhausted, and even the shells of the old artillery have been used up.

It's been guarding for days, and no reinforcements have come. Seeing that the defenders in this city were getting fewer and fewer, and there was a possibility that the city might be broken at any time, some soldiers slackened on the contrary. As long as it was the interval when the Tartars were resting, the defenders in the city also slackened, looking relaxed for a moment.

Some not-so-bright torches reflected the corpses scattered all over the city, and no one could tell if this was the first attack. It's just that some people are constantly falling down around them, covering layer after layer, and this cruel scene makes people cherish the silence in front of them at this moment. The slightly narrow city walls made a crowd of tired soldiers steaming.

Having just fended off another fierce siege of the enemy, the exhausted defenders looked crooked on the walls, smelling of sweat, bad breath, and feet mixed in this slightly cramped space. Gradually fermented, accompanied by a somewhat choking smell of smoke. It makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

But their hearts are also secretly happy, after all, they have been fighting for the past few days. There is still a life left. Maybe in the next battle, he will fall, or maybe he will lose a brother by his side, so how can he not enjoy this moment.

"As long as this battle is over, I will go to the city and have a good time...", a soldier leaned against the edge of the city wall, and beautifully closed his eyes and longed, "Find a bare-ass mother-in-law." Then there will be another jar of wine..."

"Look at your little bit of talent," the soldier next to him laughed, "I'll have to find him then... Seven or eight mothers-in-law, and... Drunk in the vat—" he smacked his lips as if it were all right in front of him.

"Ahh

"Whoosh", another burst of fire from under the city, and the Tartars began a new round of attack...

"My lord, all the torches in the city have been used up... The wooden sassers have all been used up..."

"What?". Xiao Han's heart couldn't help but become impatient, "Are all the garrisons in the city gone?" I remember that there were a lot of weapons stored in the city..."

"My lord, these days... Fighting repeatedly...", the soldier's arm was still bleeding out. He seemed to be holding back the pain, "I'm afraid that if this continues, even the arrows will be shot out..."

"No matter what. I have to keep it too...", Xiao Han bit his lip. It was as if he had made up his mind, "Wait a little longer." Reinforcements are coming soon..."

"My lord, the brothers of East Gate and West Gate... I can't stand it anymore, although the city gates are all blocked, but... The Tartars are almost climbing the walls..."

"Ahh This is not because of fear, but because I am unwilling to think that I have been fighting for half my life and finally ended up like this.

"My lord, we... Let's descend...", a soldier trembled and knelt in front of Xiao Han, already in tears, "I don't want military merits... I... I just want to live, in my family... And the old lady... And children... I..."

"Don't fart here!" , Xiao Han stood up suddenly, and a knife with a cold light hit the soldier's neck at the same time.

The soldier looked at Xiao Han timidly, shivering uncontrollably, not knowing if it was because of the weather or the fear in his heart.

Xiao Han stared at the soldier in front of him tightly, his right abdomen was still stuck with an arrow, and the wound on his left arm was gushing blood.

Xiao Han sighed, put down the knife hanging on the soldier's neck, and then kicked him to the ground, put on an indignant look, and shouted: "I remember your courage in battle, so I will spare your life first." The knife wound on this left arm is regarded as my punishment for you, and those who dare to surrender again in the future will be killed! ”

Xiao Han turned around, only to find another soldier standing beside him, his eyes full of tears. Xiao Han could clearly see that this soldier was still young, and he was clearly a young man who did not understand the world. He didn't speak, but the fear in his eyes said it all.

His knees were bent downward, as if he wanted to kneel but didn't. Looking closely, liquid was dripping down his crotch, and suddenly a smell of urine rushed into Xiao Han's nose. It is estimated that if there was no soldier who asked to surrender just now, he would be the one who is kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy now.

Xiao Han felt infinite fear at this moment, people's hearts were scattered, and he was afraid that this city would not be able to hold it, but Xiao Han would never give up. He took a deep breath and shouted with all the strength in his body: "All the soldiers have heard clearly, you must not surrender at this time." If we surrender, we will only become slaves of the Tartars, suffering humiliation, and life is worse than death. Moreover, after the city is broken, the Tartars will never let go of your family, and they will never let go of the people in this city..."

"My lord, someone from the south gate... fled...", a soldier staggered up the tower.

"What?" , Xiao Han's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire at this time, "Didn't I order to block all the city gates?" ”

"The defenders of the South Gate did not... Shut the door...", the soldier suddenly cried bitterly, "I just... The defenders of the South Gate, I... We're all pretty much dead, and we were supposed to keep the South Gate... I wanted to stay alive, but now... I don't need this opportunity..."

When Xiao Han heard this, he was furious: "Who the let you stay at the door!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped the soldier back several steps.

"My lord, the defenders of the South Gate are almost dead... There are almost no defenders of the city...", the soldier couldn't care about the burning pain on his face at the moment, "My lord, it's the defenders of the East Gate who are fleeing... The Tartars have broken the city..."

"What?" , Xiao Han didn't believe his ears anymore, "It's already broken?" ”

"My lord", the soldier pounced on Xiao Han at once, and several arrows were inserted in his back. Xiao Han looked back again, and the blood on the corner of the soldier's mouth was already flowing unstoppably.

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Han's hand was still frozen in the air, the soldier was not supported, and fell straight to the ground, his eyes were still a little unwilling to look at Xiao Han, "My lord, take the rest of the brothers... Escape... Don't let the brothers... Sent to death again, he... They are in the house...", the soldier didn't finish speaking, his body straightened, and there was no longer any breath to exhale...
