Chapter 21: The City Breaks, Survives

The weather was gloomy and there was not a hint of wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe sparse weeds on the ground, which were not high, all looked a little sick at the moment, drooping their leaves, listless.

The sound of the horse's hooves sounded, and the few weeds left in the field were trampled into the dark red earth by the galloping horses, and they were never seen again.

Qiu Laohu stood on the city wall with a spear, his left foot was pierced by the enemy in yesterday's battle, and the nerve in his thigh was injured, which means that his entire left leg has been crippled, and he can only rely on other things to support himself to walk. He looked solemnly at the Tuyuhun army that was attacking the city again, and suddenly turned his face and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Little rabbit cubs, cheer up Lao Tzu!" ā€

A small soldier next to him who saw the fourteenth or fifteen years, with a childish face, looked at Qiu Laohu with his eyes and asked suspiciously: "General, why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?" ā€

Qiu Laohu was stunned for a moment, looked at the clear eyes of the little soldier, and suddenly stretched out his big hand and rubbed it vigorously on the head of the little soldier: "Keep persevering, there will be reinforcements coming!" ā€

Xiao Bing looked at Qiu Lao Hu seriously, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously: "Well, I believe in the general!" ā€

Qiu Laohu's nose was sour, and he quickly turned his head to the side, breathed deeply, and then turned his head to look at the little soldier beside him, pretending to be vicious: "Guard this general, if something goes wrong, the military law will wait, you know?" ā€

"Got it!" Xiao Bing immediately nodded, and then continued: "A-Niang said, behind me is our home. We finally have a happy home, and I can't back down for this home! ā€

Seeing Xiao Bing clenching his fists and saying these words firmly, Qiu Laohu and the mouse standing next to him couldn't help but be moved.

The mouse remembered that in the painting painted by Hou Ye, there was once a rabbit who said something similar when facing a powerful enemy: "Behind him is the motherland, and there is no way back for my generation!" ā€

This is the fourth day of the battle against Tuyuhun, and the high-intensity and continuous fighting has made many soldiers in Shancheng look very tired, and the casualty toll is rising every day. Xiao Xintian took advantage of the numerical advantage and took turns to attack Shancheng almost for ten hours a day, making Shancheng's defense very passive.

Just last night, the north gate of Shancheng was stoned out of a large hole by the enemy, and if it weren't for the timely support, I am afraid that that there would have been captured by the enemy. Once the North Gate is captured, the situation in Shancheng will be even more passive!

Even if the north gate was recaptured, now there is still a large number of troops to be divided, because the city wall over there can no longer see the appearance of the city wall, only a pile of high broken walls are left there, which can no longer play the role of blocking the enemy, and now can only rely on people to defend.

The four of them had already run out of grenades, but they managed to blow up all the trebuchets of the other side, but at the cost of hundreds of lives! Now that there was no threat of trebuchets, Xiao Xintian began to attack, and the wave after wave of attacks almost did not stop, and the city wall became the place where the battle was most intense.

Xiao Xintian rode a horse and stood in front of the army, watching his subordinates attack the city wall of Shancheng again, and then looked at the Tang army on the city wall, which was already much thinner than before, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he gave orders to the generals around him.

"Send another 2,000 soldiers to attack the gate here, and send another 2,000 people to the north gate to support the brothers over there, we must take the north gate down today!"

"Yes!" A general ordered to go down and select 4,000 elites from the army, and according to Xiao Xintian's order, he began to quickly assemble in the two directions of the main gate and the north gate, preparing to strengthen the attack on Shancheng.

Looking at the four thousand enemy troops who entered the battlefield at once, Qiu Laohu and the others' faces became even more solemn. The already very serious situation has become even more precarious at this time, and if you are not careful, you may be attacked by the other party at any time!

"General, they're going to the North Gate!" A general suddenly shouted.

When Qiu Laohu looked at it, he saw that the troops rushing out of the Tuyuhun army were divided into two as soon as they came out, and half of them were running in the direction of the north gate!

"Send another 300 people to the North Gate, and tell Lao Li that if you die, you will give Lao Tzu to resist Tuyuhun's attack, and you must not lose the North Gate!" Autumn Tiger roared through gritted teeth.

"Yes, General!" The general immediately ordered three hundred soldiers and ran towards the north gate.

Qiu Laohu looked angrily at the enemies who were surging like flowing water under the city wall, pulled out the long sword on his waist with a "Qiang", and roared sharply: "Sons, prepare the bow and arrow, the lives of these bastards below, we will accept it for Lord Yama!" ā€

"Rush, kill! When I entered the city, the girls inside belonged to everyone, and whoever got the gold and silver was whoever! There was a loud shout in the Tuyuhun army, and the Tuyuhun soldiers who were killing towards Shancheng immediately screamed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their eyes looking at Shancheng were full of greed and endless desire!

"Put!" On the city walls, a rain of arrows rose and fell towards the enemy below the walls.

The rain of arrows rained down from the sky and fell into the enemy's army, which was attacking Shancheng.

"Ahh The screams below rang out one after another, and some people didn't have time to dodge, they were shot by the bow and arrow shot down from the world, and immediately fell to the ground, and then were trampled under the feet of their own people who rushed up to dodge the bow and arrow, and let out a miserable scream. The screams only came out a few times, and then fell completely silent, and the whole person was already trampled into the blood-soaked dirt.

"Rush up and don't stop! If anyone escapes, there will be no mercy! The Tuyuhun general, who was riding on a horse behind, cut off the head of a soldier who was trying to escape with a knife, carried the soldier's head, and shouted fiercely to the soldier in front.

Some soldiers who were about to flee saw the head with their eyes wide open and not closed, and they were even more panicked, gritted their teeth, turned around, and rushed towards Shancheng like madmen with their spears, but they escaped another wave of arrows and ran into the moat in front of Shancheng.

It is said to be a moat, but it is nothing more than a river that has dried up. It was filled with spiky bamboo, and there were quite a few corpses hanging from the bamboo. These are the corpses of the Tuyuhun soldiers who died here a few days ago, and there are flies "buzzing" around them.

Some Tuyuhun soldiers took the ladder, built a simple bridge over the wide dry moat, and then carried the stones falling from their heads to quickly reach the bottom of the city walls.

In Shancheng, many people demolished their homes and moved the stones and bricks used to build their houses under the city walls. The people spontaneously formed human dragons, one by one, carrying stones and bricks to the soldiers on the city walls. The soldier picked up the stones or bricks around him and smashed them down at the Tuyuhun soldiers below.

For a while, dozens of Tuyuhun soldiers were hit by stones or bricks on their heads, and the whole person screamed and fell into the moat below, and then was penetrated by the densely distributed bamboo from bottom to top, convulsed a few times, and then lost his breath!

The Tuyuhun soldiers walking on the top of the ladder were frightened and frightened when they saw this, or they screamed and pushed away their companions who were walking slowly, or they stepped on the bodies of their companions and ran towards the opposite bank in horror!

When people come out of hell and look at the makers of hell, their eyes are always full of resentment and hatred.

The Tuyuhun soldiers, who trembled and looked at the tragic death below, and stepped on their own people to the opposite bank in endless fear, raised their heads and looked at the city wall that was more than three feet high, and their eyes were suddenly full of hatred.

It is these Tang people who let the brothers who usually fall into hell, and even their souls are locked in corpses and cannot be transcended! It's these Tang people who let themselves trample their brothers under their feet, just to get that little chance of survival! It's these Tang people, if they can surrender obediently, then there won't be so many people dead, and this beautiful land will still be the richest land given by the gods, not like now, with smoke curling from beacon fires, broken swords slanted into the earth, blood and water flowing everywhere, and stumps everywhere!

The angry Tuyuhun soldiers began to vent all their anger on the Shancheng people on the city wall, and they soon set up a ladder, clenched their weapons tightly with their teeth, and tried to climb up the city wall along the ladder.

"Stone them all to death!" Qiu Laohu saw that the Tuyuhun soldiers below were scrambling, trying to climb up through the ladder, grabbing a ladder with his head out with one hand, and pushing the ladder down with the other soldiers. I saw that the enemy on this ladder fell with the ladder, screaming and falling down from a high place, with a "snap", the part of the people who climbed particularly high fell to the ground heavily, and suddenly their brains burst out, and they died extremely miserably!

Stone after stone tumbled down from the walls and smashed down on the enemies who had climbed up the ladder, knocking them down. But there were more and more soldiers in Tuyuhun, and on the dry moat, they built several simple bridges, and groups of Tuyuhun soldiers carried ladders all the way to the city wall, and several ladders were set up densely, and the soldiers below immediately climbed up quickly.

"General, there are too many of them, they are coming up!" The very young soldier from before turned back to Qiu Laohu and shouted, his face covered with black dust, a pair of bright big eyes blinking, and his immature hands clutching the spear in his hand.

Qiu Laohu glanced at the entire battlefield and shouted, "Brothers, are you ready with your weapons?" The enemy has come up, use the weapons in our hands, and tell them who is the king of this battlefield! ā€

"Drink!" The defenders of Shancheng shouted, startling the Tuyuhun soldiers who were climbing up below.

"Go up, they are all at the end of the crossbow, kill them, and the gold, silver, treasure, and women in the city will be ours!" One of the Tuyuhun generals below brandished a broadsword and shouted loudly to his subordinates.

The mouse, who had been standing beside Qiu Laohu and paying attention to the enemy's movements, snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow of a soldier next to him, bent his bow and arrow, and shot at the enemy general who was encouraging the soldiers to attack.

The sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air sounded, and Tuyuhun's general was scolding and scolding his subordinates to climb the ladder, and suddenly a black arrow appeared in front of his eyes, and before he had time to hide, he felt a pain in his throat, and the front of his eyes became blurred, he groaned in pain, stretched out his hands and grabbed his throat, and felt a long bow and arrow, as well as blood gushing out!

With a "plop", the general's eyes widened, and he fell directly to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he completely lost his breath!

"Good archery!" Qiu Laohu watched from the side, and when he saw the rat shoot an arrow like a cloud, the enemy general below died in Huangquan, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise.

Seeing the existence of such a marksman on his side, the morale of the defenders of Shancheng was greatly boosted, and the battle with the attacking enemy became more and more ruthless, and for a time it formed a situation of stalemate with a large number of enemies.

The rat took the other three soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army and walked on the city wall, appearing in various enemy-dense areas like a ghost, and when they found that their soldiers were in trouble, they would immediately go to the rescue, which also alleviated the dangerous situation of the defenders of Shancheng at this time.

Suddenly, there was a huge tremor in the north of Shancheng, followed by a terrible roar, and a huge wall of fire rose up from the north gate, reflecting the sky on that side.

Qiu Laohu's face turned pale, the knuckles of his fingers holding the big knife turned white, and he stared at the north gate with a dead eye, and then called one of his subordinates: "Send someone to the north gate immediately, lay a second line of defense, and no matter what, you can't let the enemy go deeper into the city again!" ā€

The rat picked the enemy off the city wall with one shot, looked back at the fire at the north gate, and saw the pale face of Qiu Laohu, and the expression on his face became solemn.

"Lost?"

"Lost!"

Qiu Laohu nodded with difficulty, slammed his fist on the city wall, as if he didn't feel the pain in his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Li, they tried their best, but unfortunately they couldn't stop Tuyuhun's dense attack in the end!" ā€

The mouse did not speak quietly, the situation is becoming more and more severe, and for Shancheng, the chance of holding on is now getting slimmer and slimmer!

At this moment, the horn of the Tuyuhun army suddenly blew the horn of the army!

The mouse looked over there in surprise, only to see Xiao Xintian standing up from the army, the long sword in his hand pointed at the city wall, and under the sunlight, he looked very tall and mighty.

Qiu Laohu looked at the enemy who retreated like a tide, but the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and he could almost wring out the water.

Xiao Xintian is giving him the last battle letter, the next attack, Tuyuhun will all be dispatched, sweeping the entire Shancheng, and they will be merciless to Qiu Tiger at that time.

Qiu Laohu leaned on his body, turned his face to look at the mouse, and said seriously: "Wait a minute, you leave here with the people of Shancheng, and I will break off with the others for you!" (To be continued.) )
