Chapter 81: The Fall of Guangcheng

"Attack!"

Chen Ping waved his big hand, and the horn of attack finally sounded.

"Kill!"

Endless soldiers carried siege ladders and pushed siege wagons to the city walls.

"Archers. ”

On the city wall, the general of the prison army rose up with a command.

Countless archers immediately pulled to the full line.

Seeing that he was entering and shooting, the general of the prison army shouted violently: "Shoot." ”

The rain of arrows swept across the realm like a stormy wind, destroying the withering and decaying and spreading ripples in the crowd.

On the battlefield, life becomes insignificant, and the living, stepping on the dead corpses, even if some breath remains, as long as they fall, they will inevitably suffer a continuous trampling, and then, wailing and weeping to death.

The screams and the sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh resounded in the sky.

After the baptism of waves of arrows, the living, turned into wild beasts, roaring and sprinting.

The number of enemy troops was so large that the archers on the walls were numb, but they could not stop the attack.

The archers under the walls also began to give back fire, casualties, and a large area appeared on both sides.

Siege stairs were stacked on top of the city walls, and countless enemy troops climbed one after another, because they knew that they could only survive if they took the city.

"Hold on, don't let them attack. ”

On the city walls, the slogans of the generals of the prison army kept echoing.

Under the city walls, the soldiers who tried their best to climb the siege ladder kept falling down like dumplings, smashing on the ground and smashing on their companions, no matter what the result, they would inevitably die.

The city gates, one after another siege vehicles were destroyed, and many of them were directly defeated by rolling stones, giant trees, and boiling oil falling from the sky before they even had time to knock on the city gates.

Vast swaths of soldiers died in wailing, corpses piled up, and the newly joined siege engines struggled to run over the corpses, squeezing out a blood-colored long road.

On the other side, the soldiers of Huaxia Kingdom used their bodies against the city gate, and the narrow and slender arches of the city gate were densely packed with people, and many people had difficulty breathing, especially the soldiers who pressed the city gate with their bodies, and there was severe fainting and dizziness.

But no one dared to relax, and they didn't even have the opportunity to be sent out for treatment, one by one gritted their teeth, their eyes were red, and they relied on instinct to persevere.

"Hold, hold, don't let the enemy break through the gates. ”

The voice of the overseer roared hysterically, and then, all the soldiers who were guarding the city gate had two words left in their minds, hold!

The fierce fighting continued, fermenting, one siege ladder after another was overthrown, groups of besieging enemy troops fell, and groups of new ones joined.

The superiority in military strength was finally manifested at this moment.

The siege ladders erected on the city walls went from dozens to ten.

The number of soldiers defending on the city wall has been drastically reduced, and many people are slashing and slashing more and more slowly, and the price of slowness is death!

The head of the city began to fall, and the enemy troops who found the breakthrough rushed forward even more desperately.

"Resist, resist, don't let the enemy attack, defend our kingdom, guard our family. The overseer general slashed down the enemy soldier with a fierce sword, roaring angrily.

I have to say that the soldiers of Huaxia Kingdom, after years of high-intensity training, have extraordinary explosiveness.

Not afraid of life and death, fight hard to kill the enemy, there are many people!

But as long as there is still a breath, it will definitely give a thunder counterattack, and it will be destroyed together, and it can be seen everywhere, and even worse, it will directly hold the enemy, and even the people and ladders will fall to the city together.

More Chinese soldier reserves poured into the city, and the new soldiers quickly filled the gap, and a large number of enemy troops were pushed off the city walls, and one siege ladder after another collapsed.

Under the city wall, Chen Ping's face was iron-faced, and hundreds of thousands of troops attacked a city guarded by only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and after a few hours, no progress was made.

"Huaxia Kingdom is so brave, are these really ordinary defenders? Aren't they elite divisions?" The leading generals of the Dongsheng Kingdom were afraid.

No one answered him this question, perhaps, everyone's minds were on the battlefield.

Tuoba Jue's expression was solemn, and his sharp eyes were firmly fixed on the flying flags above the city.

Whether he admits it or not, Huaxia Kingdom is indeed the strongest rival of Nansheng Kingdom.

This fight lasted for a full day, the sunset subsided, night fell, and the two sides had a tacit truce.

The battlefield cleaners quietly carried away the corpses, and one of the cleaners had red eyes as he recognized one of the dead Chinese soldiers as his relative.

And such cases are not uncommon!

Shenzhou in the Western Regions is one, divided by war, and it is always the civilians and soldiers who are injured involuntarily!

On the city wall, Xuanyuan triumphantly stood upright, quietly admiring the rare calm.

"General! More than half of our army has suffered casualties, and most of the officers and men are exhausted, and I am afraid it will be difficult to survive tomorrow!" The adjutant general looked tired, with wounds on his arms and shoulders.

Xuanyuan Kaixuan looked at the soldiers around him with blank expressions, endured the piercing pain and intense dizziness, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" all the soldiers said in unison, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

"No! We should be afraid! We should be afraid that we will not be able to trust the commander-in-chief, that we will not be able to hold this city, that we will not be able to survive this war, that we will not be able to survive the chaos of this war. Xuanyuan Triumph looked at the soldiers deeply, and said loudly with the last trace of strength: "Soldiers, I beg you, if I fall, you must also hold on to the last moment, as long as there is still a breath left, you must not let the enemy step into this city." ”

"Defend the city, guard Huaxia!" the lieutenant general roared.

"Defend the city, guard Huaxia!"

On the city walls, all the soldiers shouted loudly.

"Defend the city, guard Huaxia!"

As if infected, the soldiers in the city also echoed in solemnity, and the trembling old people in the city also bowed to the soldiers on the city wall with tears in their eyes, echoing the oath of the soldiers.

Outside the city, Tuoba Jue's eyes became more solemn, and his evaluation of Huaxia Kingdom was raised to a new height.

Xuanyuan Kaixuan was very satisfied with the determination of the soldiers, smiled with relief, and slowly fell back with his strong body.

"General. The adjutant general was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"I... Xuanyuan Yuehuo, the last part of the road, you will help me go down, on the Temple of the God of War... We... Let's drink and talk together... After Xuanyuan triumphantly said this, he finally closed his eyes completely.

"General. The adjutant general's face was full of sorrow, and he slowly flattened Xuanyuan's triumphant body, and immediately, he quickly got up, looked at the soldiers with red eyes, and said loudly: "The general will go to the God of War Temple first, and we will wait for the general to finish this last battle, and the God of War Hall will gather together, the God of War will be glorious, and the deceased will be glorious!"

"The glory of the god of war, the glory of the deceased! the glory of the god of war, the glory of the deceased!"

Many soldiers of other tribes did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but without exception, they all responded loudly.

"Adjutant General, sing the military song!"

The military song was issued by Ye Gucheng, symbolizing patriotism and the memorial to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

The adjutant general looked solemn and said loudly: "Military song, get up!"

Chinese soldiers guard the rivers and mountains, and there is no truce without shedding blood!

Protect the country and protect the people, Chinese soldiers, not an inch of land, rather die than surrender!

There are very few lyrics in military songs, just four words that are repeated repeatedly, but these simple lyrics are singing the hearts of the soldiers.

Sunshine symbolizes beauty and hope!

However, for the soldiers of Guangcheng, it was the last day!

The drums of war roared and the trumpets sounded.

A new round of assault is coming.

The tide of enemy troops swept in again, arrows rained down, fighting and roaring.

The enemy army continued to reinforce, the Chinese defenders were rapidly reduced, and the gaps on the city wall that could not be filled were opened, and the ladder battle officially became a wall battle.

On the wall, there were soldiers on both sides who were fighting, and the sound of weapons colliding and screaming resounded in the sky.

"The war is decided. Chen Ping wanted to laugh, but unfortunately, he couldn't laugh!

In this battle, the casualties far exceeded his budget, and the Huaxia Kingdom was still glorious despite its defeat!

There are also generals from the other two countries who have this idea.

The city gate, after countless beatings, finally collapsed, followed by the Chinese defenders who were like moths to the fire.

But the moth is a moth, but the combined soldiers of the Northern Underworld and the Eastern Ascension Kingdom are not fire, and they were killed and retreated under the desperate counterattack of the soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Chen Ping witnessed this scene, his face was full of anger, he took a deep breath, and said to the generals on the side: "General Tuoba, next, I'll leave it to you." ”

Tuoba was never verbose, waved his big hand, and said in a deep voice: "The iron horse is attacking." ”

Boom!

The general drew his sword and roared violently: "The soldiers of Nansheng Kingdom, kill the enemy with me!"

"Kill!"

A torrent of steel rushed towards the city gates.

The infantry had no advantage over the cavalry, not to mention that the soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom were already exhausted and were swallowed up by the torrent in three or two strokes, while the soldiers of the Northern Underworld and the Eastern Shengguo took advantage of the gap opened by the cavalry to frantically pour into the city, and the city war broke out in full swing.

On the city wall, the adjutant general straightened his body with difficulty, looked at the chaotic Guangcheng, and muttered: "General... We tried our best!"

A machete, with a sharp wind whistling, blood flashed, and the head of the lieutenant flew high.

The Chinese flag planted on the city wall was cut off and knocked down, and the flag fluttering in the wind was full of bright red bloodstains, and then, lying on the ground powerlessly for others to trample.

On this day, the darkest day in the history of Guangcheng, the coalition forces that won the battle began to vent frantically, a large number of houses were burned down, a large number of city residents were killed, and the hideous and cruel laughter never stopped.

In the dark alley, two old men, a man and a woman, are obviously a husband and wife.

"Run. The old man led his wife trembling and staggering through an alley, but unfortunately they ran into two enemy soldiers, and in panic, they bowed their heads and begged for mercy.

An enemy soldier was about to step forward with a knife when he was stopped by another young soldier, who stared at the young soldier suspiciously.

"Don't!" the young soldier looked pained, with tears in his eyes, and slowly stepped forward to the shivering old man, and then knelt heavily on the ground, crying: "Grandpa, grandma, grandchildren, unfilial piety, let you suffer. ”

The two old men were startled, and after a closer look, they found that this enemy soldier was actually a long-lost grandson, and they immediately hugged their heads and cried.

The kingdom is divided, too many families are forcibly torn apart, and there are many people in the same room.

Thinking of the chaos in the city now, if his relatives are not protected, he is afraid that it will be difficult to survive, so he hurriedly walked to the soldiers on the side and said, "Brother, help me, save my grandparents, please." ”

The soldier looked embarrassed and was about to answer, when a group of inspectors passed by, and the captain scolded: "Why are there still enemy people alive? What are you doing to eat?"

When the young soldier saw the captain walking towards the old man, he hurriedly grabbed him. "Captain, they are not enemies, they are my grandparents, can you let them go. ”

"Bold! The general ordered the slaughter of the city, just to prevent these untouchables from collaborating with the enemy, if you dare to protect the enemy people, you are a rebel, and there is no mercy!" After the captain finished speaking, he slashed him with a knife with his backhand.

"Grandson. The two old men suddenly screamed at the young soldier.

"Kill!"

After the screams, three bodies were left on the ground.

The soldier stood on the spot, looking at the long march away, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife was bruised.
