Chapter 602: Defending the City

Above the city, the generals stood behind Yue Shao'an. Looking at the city, it didn't take long for me to see dust in the distance, covering the sky and the sun, rolling in. After a while, I saw a figure in the distance, and at a glance, I couldn't see how many people and horses there were.

"It's coming!" Hong Meng stood quietly beside Yue Shao'an, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise. After the losses of two major battles, plus the 50,000 people that Yang Fan took away. Now there are about 80,000 people led by the emperor. Walking quickly together, accompanied by the dust rising from the ground, is really shocking.

Gao Chong glanced at Hong Meng, squinted his eyes, and said, "Nonsense." It's not that others don't have eyes. ”

"Shut up!" Zhuo Yan said coldly on the side.

If it was still on weekdays, Gao Chong would definitely reason with Zhuo Yan in a big way, but now he was in no mood, so he obediently closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The generals' expressions were all vigilant.

Yue Shao'an looked at the bright yellow chariot that was gradually approaching, his face changed suddenly, and his fists clenched violently. His gaze shot straight at him like a sharp arrow.

The emperor sitting in the chariot was originally separated from Yue Shao'an, and there were dozens of layers of soldiers in the middle, but that gaze suddenly made a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart. also set his sights on Yue Shaoan.

The two looked at each other, although they didn't really look at each other, but they seemed to feel the battle intent in each other's eyes. The Emperor immediately raised his hand, and the procession stopped.

Then, after saying something in a deep voice, the horn suddenly blew, and the cavalry in the front row scattered to both sides, and at the same time, the infantry carrying the ladder shouted and rushed towards the front of the city.

Seeing this scene, Niu Ren exclaimed: "Is the emperor crazy, he has just arrived, and he is going to attack the city before he can gain a firm foothold?" ”

"He's not crazy!" Yue Shaoan said in a low voice: "It's just that the defeat of one or two times in a row has made him anxious." ”

Niu Ren nodded and said, "Brother Yue, let me go out of the city to fight!" ”

Yue Shaoan waved his hand and said, "No." Just stick to it. ”

As he spoke, the besieging soldiers under the city had already crossed the moat, and the ladder had been erected on the city wall. At the same time, the bow and arrow suddenly flew in, like a waterfall surging upside down, pouring Puzhi.

The guards on both sides hurriedly held huge shields in front of Yue Shao'an, and under a series of sounds, ......the shields were full of arrows. Subsequently, Yue Shaoan retreated from the city under the cover of everyone, and the offensive and defensive battles began immediately.

When the soldiers under the city first arrived, their morale was high, and the sound of rushing and killing resounded through the sky. On the top of the city, the defenders continued to shoot down the thunder stones, and at the same time cooperated with the super city crossbows, which were tied to small earth mines, once they were shot into the crowd, the casualties caused were huge. In addition, the range of the city defense crossbow was extremely long, and the offensive was immediately suppressed.

However, the city crossbow also has a fatal drawback, that is, after shooting an arrow, if you want to put on the arrow, it takes several people to pull it open, so the efficiency is not high.

After the first round of crossbow arrows was fired, taking advantage of the gap in the upper arrows, a large number of troops sent by the emperor's side attacked again.

Up and down the city, for a while, the arrows danced wildly, like flying sand blown by the wind in spring, dense and abnormal. In the midst of the screams, someone had already climbed the city, and the two sides started hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city.

Yue Shaoan stood on top of the tower specially erected in the city for this battle, his eyes scanned the battle situation, waved his hand slightly, and said, "Let Zhang Chusan go up." ”

Zhang Heng took the order and left, and after a while, Zhang Chusan shouted that the killing general would come out, and behind him, all the people with thick shoulders and round bodies were burly people, and this group of piercing people rushed out, looking like machines, and they looked out of place with other sergeants.

Yue Shaoan had long known that Zhang Heng had specially selected such a group of people for Zhang Chusan to bring, in fact, this was also what he meant, in his opinion, in this way, Zhang Chusan's specialties could be brought into play.

However, this group of people has always been useless, and now I don't know what the specific combat power is. Yue Shaoan and Zhang Heng both looked at Zhang Chusan with some expectation.

Zhang Chusan did not ride a horse, so the battle axe was left there, and he did not take it with him, and a giant sword in his hand waved and rushed to the top of the city, and as soon as he got to the top of the city, he immediately rushed to the place where the enemy army climbed the most.

With a wave of the giant sword in his hand, ......a series of sounds like bamboo boards slapping on pork sounded, and suddenly five or six people rose up in response, screaming and being thrown out of the city. He fell from the top of the city a few feet high, and in an instant, he became a blurred pool of flesh and blood.

The people brought up by Zhang Chusan also followed him, and a giant iron sword in one person's hand was cut down after a few beatings, and the pressure on the city was much less. The battle is back to its infancy.

Seeing that the battle situation was temporarily settled, Yue Shao'an's nerves relaxed slightly, and suddenly, sleepiness swelled up, and his empty stomach also screamed in protest.

He slowly closed his eyes and sat down on a bench in the tower, looking unusually tired.

Seeing this, Gao Chong quietly ordered. After a while, someone brought the prepared meal. However, at this time, Yue Shaoan had already fallen asleep. He was so tired this day and night, and the tiredness in his heart was sometimes more unbearable than the tiredness of his body.

Gao Chonggang wanted to call him up, but Zhuo Yan grabbed him, waved his hand slightly, and whispered, "Let Mr. Yue sleep for a while." ”

Gao Chong was a little stunned and said, "Mr. Yue hasn't eaten for almost two days, this ......"

Zhuo Yan shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when he wakes up!" ”

Gao Chong thought about it, nodded, and ordered someone to bring a thin blanket and gently cover Yue Shao'an's body, and then he and Zhuo Yan stayed aside, quietly, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing Yue Shao'an sleeping soundly, Zhang Heng and Niu Ren glanced at each other, and the two walked slowly down the tower and came to the city, during the time when Yue Shao'an was asleep, they didn't dare to have a trace of carelessness. Therefore, he personally went up to direct the defense of the city.

Fierce fighting, which lasted from the afternoon until late at night. The full moon illuminates everything on the ground as if it were day, and the silver moonlight shines on the blood on the ground, reflecting a strange light.

A cool breeze blew, with a trace of blood, and floated in front of Yue Shao'an, he shivered violently and opened his eyes. Looking left and right, I saw Gao Chong and Zhuo Yan standing quietly aside, while Niu Ren and Zhang Heng were no longer around. He patted his head and said, "How long have I been asleep?" What time is it? ”

Gao Chong stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yue, it's not time yet. ”

"Oh!"

Yue Shaoan raised his head and looked at the city in front of him. Fierce fighting continued, shouts and screams continued, and wounded soldiers were constantly being transported down from the city.

"Has it been so long?" Yue Shaoan didn't blame Gao Chong and Zhuo Yan for not waking him up, in fact, he was able to sleep soundly, mainly because he was more at ease with the people around him. Noble and needless to say, Zhuo Yan has always been rigorous and measured, so since he didn't wake himself up, it means that the war ahead should still be under control. Therefore, Yue Shaoan was not very worried. It's just that he just woke up, but he felt a little headache and kept beating his head.

"Mr. Yue, let's eat something first." At this time, Gao Chong ordered someone to bring the meal and put it on the table in front of him.

Yue Shaoan thought about it, and saw that the battle situation was stable, so he didn't push back, and besides, he hadn't eaten for almost two days, so he was really hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate a lot.

Looking at Yue Shao'an's appearance of eating, Gao Chong laughed, and the worries in his heart disappeared. Even Zhuo Yan showed a rare smile.

The two of them have a deep affection for Yue Shao'an, since Liu Bonan's death was learned by Yue Shao'an, the two of them have been worried, and now it seems that Mr. Yue is still Mr. Yue, and his hanging heart is only put in his stomach.

Yue Shao'an was gobbling up food, and suddenly, there was a loud horn in front of him, and then, the shouting of killing was actually several times louder than before.

Yue Shaoan suddenly threw the chopsticks on the table, stood up, and looked into the distance. I saw that the strength of the siege outside the city suddenly increased by more than two times, and it was obvious at a glance. Densely packed with human heads and torches.

He immediately did not hesitate, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go up to the city to have a look." ”

Gao Chong and Zhuo Yan also realized that things might change, so they hurriedly followed him down the tower. As soon as he came down, he saw a figure running over. Yue Shao'an looked at it steadily, but it was fierce.

After Hong Meng saw Yue Shao'an, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Emperor, the enemy army has suddenly increased its troops, and General Niu Ren asked me to come and ask you, how to deal with it?" ”

Yue Shaoan said: "I'll take a look first." With that, he walked towards the city. Hong Meng had no choice but to follow him.

Gao Chong looked at Hong Meng's gray face and said, "Old Hong, is this offensive really so fierce?" Can't Brother Niu Ren resist? ”

Hong Meng scratched his head and said, "I don't know, General Niu Ren should be able to hold it according to reason, but this time, the enemy army suddenly increased its strength. I guess General Niu Ren was afraid that the losses would be too heavy to explain to the emperor, so he asked me to ask for instructions. ”

Gao Chong thought about it and nodded in agreement with Hong Meng's statement. It's just that he still doesn't understand, it stands to reason that with Niu Ren's ability, Yue Shaoan has always given him a lot of power, at this moment, he is in charge, as long as he doesn't lose the city, he shouldn't bear any serious consequences.

He followed behind Yue Shao'an suspiciously, and suddenly, a bright light flashed in his mind, and he raised his head suddenly, as if he had caught something. Could it be that Brother Niu Ren wants to use that thing? So you don't dare to make your own decisions?

A sense of anticipation suddenly welled up in his heart......
