Chapter 72: Bloodstained Phoenix City (6)
After the soldiers of Pingshan Fort got off the ship, they quickly organized the team under the organization of the small flags and the general flags. After inspecting the weapons and food they were carrying, more than 200 soldiers and more than 400 people stood in place waiting for He Tengxiao's order to be pulled.
"Get on the rain cloth! Gallop to camp outside Phoenix! He Tengxiao looked up and looked around for a moment, the sky that had just turned white was densely covered with heavy dark clouds, and the rain was like thousands of transparent lines slanting like the earth. Obviously, this rain will continue for a long time.
All the soldiers obeyed the order, and the cavalry pulled out a piece of lacquered black coarse cloth from the compartment on the side of the saddle, while the foot soldiers and Minzhuang pulled out the same coarse black cloth from the coarse cloth backpack they carried behind them, and unfolded it and draped it over their bodies with a clatter.
This lacquer rainproof cloth is the special equipment of the Pingshan Fort Army, the rainproof cloth has been painted with lacquer five times, and finally brushed with tung oil again, the surface can be said to be smooth as grease, and the water droplets are stained with the rain cloth that rolls off, and the rainproof effect is wonderful. When marching in the heavy rain, the rain cloth can temporarily relieve the temporary difficulty.
In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers were clothed in rain, and the team turned into a swarthy black pine forest. He Tengxiao tightened the tie on the rain cloth and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
The sailors who remained on the ship and the makeshift recruits watched in a daze as a moving black pine forest drifted away.
It is not surprising that the Pingshan Fort Army was able to prohibit Ke Dinghai separately, and there was a regular soldier of the Hundred Households stationed on Yunguan Island, and when he had nothing to do, he often went to the garrison's camp to watch the garrison's drills. He often lamented that such a soldier was definitely a first-class strong soldier in Jinling City, and the three most elite Jinling battalions in Jinling City were no more than that.
Ke Dinghai imagined many times in his mind the possible outcome of his sailors and the soldiers of Pingshan Fort. The final result was that on the water, Ke Dinghai was absolutely sure that the pawns of Pingshan Fort would be abused to the ground, but on land, Ke Dinghai's pawns would definitely be beaten all over the ground by the pawns of Pingshan Fort.
The moving dark pine forest became more and more blurred, and all the people were covered in pitch-black rain cloths, and it was no longer possible to distinguish who was the pawn and who was the people. Ke Dinghai originally thought that these people brought in by He Tengxiao temporarily were just used to make up the number of courage, and he was no stranger to such a thing, in Jinling, it is not a new thing for the officials and soldiers to suppress the Japanese and the Haikou to force the people to enlist in the army, after all, how bold people are.
However, the performance of the people of Pingshan Fort after boarding the ship made Ke Dinghai and the sailors look at each other differently. These people can almost do the same thing as the pawns of the Peace Mountain Fort, not at all like the people they have seen in Jinling who have never seen the world, and the hillbilly-like people are not at all like the people who have never seen the world, and they chatter crookedly and make noise non-stop after getting on the boat. Ke Dinghai even saw a faint murderous aura in the eyes of these people, this murderous aura is by no means what ordinary people can say, Ke Dinghai has been in the army for ten years, and he is also a person who licks blood and plays with his life at the tip of the knife. He knows the goods, and he knows very well that this kind of murderous aura can only be possessed by veterans who have killed people on the battlefield.
Ke Dinghai originally thought that He Tengxiao's rush to help Phoenix City was just a temporary show, and no matter how you look at it, two hundred soldiers and four hundred people have the strength to save Phoenix City, so it would be good if you didn't put yourself in. Ke Dinghai initially guessed that He Tengxiao was just putting on a show, pulling the team to the sea for a walk around and returning to Pingshan Fort, even if Phoenix City was lost, it would not **** He Tengxiao had anything to do, He Tengxiao could win a reputation for courage and courage as a lone soldier who rushed deep into Phoenix City.
However, since the fleet entered the Great Insect River, He Tengxiao gave the order to speed up the ship and rush to Phoenix, and also sent valuable scouts in the direction of Phoenix, Ke Dinghai felt that he was wrong from then on. This Qianhu is really determined to rush to the aid of Phoenix City and do what his superiors dare not do, which can't help but make Ke Dinghai respect He Tengxiao, and follow such an official, it's worth it!

Phoenix City is littered with bloody corpses, both from the Liao army and the Zhao army, and severed limbs and stumps can be seen everywhere. The defenders and civilians of Phoenix City listlessly collected scattered weapons, and the soldiers and civilians of Phoenix City fought bloodily to block the first wave of attacks of the Liao army, and Phoenix City was temporarily preserved.
The battle was fought fiercely, and the soldiers and civilians of Phoenix paid a great price to defend their homeland. The 1,000 town troops guarding the north gate were killed as many as 700 in battle, and almost all of the remaining 200 or 300 remnants were wounded, including Lin Xin, the general of the Phoenix City battalion.
The Liao army's attack was very fierce, like a wolf and a tiger desperately stormed Phoenix City, the defenders waved rudimentary weapons and the Liao army fought on the city, fighting for every piece of land in the city inch by inch, almost unable to support it, the temporarily recruited people pounced and killed the Liao army. If there is no Minzhuang to supplement it at the critical moment, I am afraid that the "Zhao" character banner on the city tower will be replaced by the "Liao" character banner of the Liao army at this time.
Lin Xin removed a corpse, the blood stains on the corpse's face were blurred, and he couldn't identify who the deceased was, but a pair of eyes were wide open, and there was a piece of ear left in his mouth, which looked terrifying. Lin Xin tore away the deceased's hands, snatched out the Pu knife that the deceased's hands were holding, stood up, and handed it to a soldier beside him: "Ergou, your knife is too lacking, this knife is better, take it." ”
The soldier, who was called Ergou, choked back tears and did not speak, just remained silent.
"Take it." Lin Xin stuffed this Pu knife, which was not very notched, into Ergou's hand. After the first battle, the knives of the defenders of Phoenix City were basically cut and chopped. The Liao army is well-equipped, everyone's military robe is covered with light and flexible chain mail, the protection of the chain mail against the sword chop is still good, and the Zhao army often needs two or three knives or even more knives to cut down the Liao army. With such a chopping method, the knife is not notched, and if the blade is not curled, there is no heavenly reason.
The clouds were thick, and at this moment, the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians in Phoenix City were also covered with dark clouds like this weather. Many people looked forward to seeing the banner of reinforcements. It's a pity that there is nothing around except the camp tents of the Liao army. A cruel reality stung each of them, and they did not want to accept it, but they had to admit that they had been abandoned and forgotten, and no one would come to save them.
"General." Yu Tianyuan staggered and stepped on the corpse and ran to Lin Xin, panting and pointing to the camp tent of the Liao army and said, "The tent of the Liao army has changed color!" ”
Lin Xin was suddenly startled, and when he looked at it, the color of the Liao army's military tent had really changed. The original white military tent was replaced with red. This is a dangerous signal: if the tent of the Liao army's siege camp is white, it means that the people of the city can be spared death if they surrender at this moment; If it is replaced with a red tent, it means that after the city is broken, all men who exceed the height of the wheels will be killed, and women and children will be reduced to slavery; If it is replaced with a black tent, it means that after the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left, and the city will be razed to the ground and then sown grass on the flat land to feed the horses......
