Chapter 130: Bitter Battle
"Knock knock knock~~~" The shocking drum of the attack sounded again after the siege barbarians had just retreated, and thousands of barbarians began to prepare for the second wave of attacks.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, the Luzhou guards suddenly had a feeling of wanting to scold their mother, it was simply not a sigh of relief! However, after the battle just now, the Luzhou guards have already walked in from the fear of war, and all that remains is hatred and hatred for the barbarians!
Li Desheng has also gathered the people in the city near the city gate, and the people looked at the tragic battle on the city wall, all quietly, without a sound.
"My lord, the people have gathered at the foot of the city, please show me!" Looking at Xu Gang, who was covered in blood, something in Li Desheng's heart was touched.
"Well, hard work Li Tong has been sentenced!" Xu Gang smiled, and then walked to the inside of the city wall.
The people really love Xu Zhizhou, who is the master of the people, and as soon as they saw him like a bloody man, the quiet scene was suddenly broken, and everyone was chattering about Xu Gang
"Uh~~~ The efforts of the past two days have not been in vain, hehe!" Xu Gang was very relieved in his heart, but he was also noisy by the people, he quickly raised his arm and pressed it down, and the people quickly booed when they saw it, and soon quieted down again.
"Fellow villagers, now the barbarian army is besieging the city, the city is short of equipment to defend the city, the rolling logs and boulders are almost used up, and the city guards are also suffering heavy casualties, the number is seriously insufficient, the official is terrified, if it really comes to the day of breaking the city, the official can only die in battle and apologize!" Xu Gang was full of internal qi, and his voice was low and sad.
"What should I do then?"
"Why don't you run away!"
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten that your predecessor Zhizhou was killed when he escaped? The city is besieged, where will you flee? ”
When the people heard Xu Gang's words, they immediately started talking, and everyone was very worried.
Suddenly, a voice came from among the people: "Lord Zhizhou, our house has been demolished, aren't there rolling logs and boulders?" ”
Another voice also responded: "My lord, I have 200,000 people in Luzhou City, tens of thousands of young people, how can there be no soldiers?" Instead of dying behind the city slope, it is better to go to the city wall and die vigorously! If you win, you can keep the old and the young in the family! My lord, please allow me to go up to the wall to fight the enemy! ”
"Uh~~~ The person chosen by Brother Meng is really good" Although Xu Gang couldn't see the person who spoke, he knew who it was from what they said!
Xu Gang looked at the people in the city with excitement, and was about to say a few more words of encouragement, but unexpectedly, the city suddenly boiled!
"Well said! Aren't the barbarians driven by flesh and blood? Give me a knife, and I can kill just as much! ”
"Let's go, go home and tear down the house, if the city is gone, what's the use of the house coming?"
"I want to join the army and defend my family and country!"
"I'm going to go up to the city wall and kill the barbarians!"
"There is no shortage of enthusiastic people in Luzhou!" Looking at the extremely excited people in the city, Xu Gang nodded with satisfaction and instructed Li Desheng to be responsible for conscription and logistics support.
"Yes, my lord, the lower officials must do their best!" A trace of resoluteness appeared on Li Desheng's face, he gritted his teeth, answered in a loud voice, and then led the officials in the city and walked to the bottom of the city wall.
"Shoot!" With Yang Wenguang shouting, the second round of fighting began again.
After Xu Gang took a deep look at the people under the city, he turned his head and walked towards the outside of the city wall.
Without the suppression of catapults, attacking and defending the city became more direct, after the bow and arrow handover was meat Bo, countless barbarians climbed up to the city, and were driven down by the defenders, Xu Gang knew that he had no experience in commanding the army, so he handed over the command to the veteran Yang Wenguang, and he incarnated as a killing god, rushing back and forth on the city wall, and now he has become a bloody man, with the blood of the enemy, as well as his own blood.
Some of the people who were close to the city gate had already demolished their houses and personally carried the stones, bricks, beams, and pillars to the city, contributing their best to protect their homes.
Soon, Li Desheng sent the new soldiers wearing armor to the city, although the imperial court was heavy on literature and light on military force, but there was never a shortage of money, and then there was a forbidden army stationed in Luzhou City, so an armory was built in the state city, and there were sufficient armaments such as armor and spears, bows and arrows, and long knives.
These recruits and volunteers were slowly and continuously sent to the city wall, they just went through a simple explanation, there was no time to train them, so that they could transform from ordinary people to a qualified soldier, they only fought with the brute soldiers through instinct, either you die, or I die, it's as simple as that!
Countless people walked to the edge of the city wall, joined the rescue team, bandaged the wounds of those wounded soldiers who were not dead, and the women, who were usually afraid of blood, were surprisingly calm at the moment! While feeding the wounded soldiers, they patted their cheeks to keep them awake enough......
Some people recognized some of the corpses as their relatives, and they only wept silently, just because when they sent their husbands and sons to the city wall, they knew that such a result would come, and at this moment their eyes were full of hatred when they looked in the direction of the outside of the city!
Blood spilled in the darkness, severed limbs and stumps fluttered in the dim light of the fire, and blood-red streams had gathered on the city walls, like twisted earthworms flowing downward.
Even so, the battle on the walls continued, and everyone was gritting their teeth for support.
"Kill !!" Xu Gang's eyes were red, he threw down a long knife that had been cut over, hooked a red tassel gun from the ground with one kick, and learned Yang Huaiyu's moves, stabbing back and forth like lightning, and his first thrust pierced the enemy's body. His brute strength was amazing, and even some brute soldiers in armor could not stop his seemingly brisk stab.
Everyone didn't know how long the battle would last, and they couldn't guess how long they would live, they only knew that if they didn't fight, then the first brute to kill them would be themselves, and the barbarians would definitely not be relentless.
"My lord, drink some water...... You drink some water......" Yang Huaiyu chased after Xu Gang with a hoarse voice, and handed Xu Gang a water bladder in his hand.
Xu Gang took a sip of the pour, and then returned it, without saying a word, and continued to rush back and forth on the city wall, picking out those leaders of the barbarian army with high force, which greatly relieved the pressure everywhere on the city wall!
"Knock knock knock~~~~" There was a shocking bang in the barbarian army, and with the skyrocketing fire, another barbarian army of thousands of people rushed up with a shout, and the barbarian army carried up the wheel tactics and continuously launched the siege order!
The defenders of Luzhou City, many of them were not killed by the barbarians, but died of exhaustion on the city, as long as their spirit was a little relaxed, they would fall to the ground and fall asleep, if no one woke them up in time, they could never wake up again
Some of the sturdy soldiers were still struggling to support themselves on the city walls, and if they found a companion falling asleep, they would kick them hard and wake them up!
The barbarian army did not sleep endlessly, and launched dozens of sieges throughout the city, which lasted for three days and three nights, and the losses were also very heavy! They couldn't have imagined that a city of Luzhou, with less than 10,000 defenders, would actually let them lose more than 20,000 barbarian warriors, and almost half of the men and horses fell under Luzhou City! (To be continued.) )
