Chapter 369: Perseverance
The city has indeed reached the last moment, Han Shizhong's subordinates are also full of casualties, the soldiers have almost exhausted the last bit of strength, drained the last bit of strength, drained the last drop of blood, and most of the people in the city were also injured.
Now carrying gravel at the head of the city, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, most of them are women and children, but they are silently transporting the guards at the head of the city, and they are also shot down at the head of the city without saying a word, and the blood has covered the city walls, and they are absorbed by the rammed earth under the city.
The garrison was almost gone, and the hordes of wounded soldiers were just tossing and wailing under the walls, while the rest of the men were just cowering behind the giant shields, waiting for their turn to go out and throw stones and water down the city.
The sound of digging in the earth at the city wall came from under his feet, but there was no look of panic on the guard's faceβhe was really numb from battle.
The attacking and defending sides used each other's own flesh and blood to cover this small Juyong Pass, and there was no way to retreat, and there were no reinforcements around it.
What Han Shizhong and Xue Yong thought was nothing more than to gain more time before this Juyong Pass, Yang Jin's stay was completely prepared, there were more than 13,000 people in the Shence Army, and there were at least 20,000 people who were not registered, which was already huge, and at this time, what tens of thousands of Shence soldiers and horses were doing was to clear the wilderness, and wait until Yandi was ready, and then fight to the death with the Jurchen Tartars.
But in the current few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, not to mention the cavalry around Juyong Pass, which is overwhelming and Wanyan Zongbi!
Here, it's a dead end, it's just a matter of how to die, in such a troubled world, no one can think that they can die on the couch in peace, what else can they say?
The counterattack in the city gradually became fragmented, and only a few generals were still shouting hoarsely. Let the soldiers poke their heads out to fight back, but even the guards are already lacking, do you want to fill them with your own lives?
Xue Yong only had one right arm left, and he walked from one end to the other, and he also shouted hoarsely: "The Jurchen dog only has the ability to drive Guo Yaoshi to come up and die, and he doesn't dare to touch the city wall." They're also guarding against our reinforcements heading north! Reinforcements have been removed from Yanjing, and they will arrive soon! Are we afraid of him? Two more days, two more days! When the time comes, each brother will have enough money for ten times, and Da Song can afford it! Let's go to Bianliang too! Look at the Bianliang woman, what she looks like when she plays! When the time comes, everyone will eat a bowl of stable rice and marry a girl for you to settle down! β
He roared boldly, but he also knew in his heart that he was in a desperate place. But even if he dies in battle in front of Guo Yaoshi, a man who has betrayed his ancestors, it is better than bending his knees to survive!
The sound of digging under the city became tighter and tighter, although he was about to shout blood at the head of the city, but the counterattack of the soldiers became more and more weak, as if they were waiting for the city wall to collapse and Guo Yaoshi's department to rush in!
Han Du Yu waits, Xiao Yang will be the master, and I will be Xue Yong. It's worthy of you!
There was a sudden sound under the city wall, and Xue Yong looked at it with red eyes. However, it was Han Shizhong's last dozens of personal soldiers, holding large shields, along the horse face to the city, some of the mounds outside were higher than the city wall of Juyong Pass, which was only one zhang away.
Those pro-soldiers. Just shrunk behind the shield, covering the things that were covering, and walked slowly towards the city, defending the city for a few days, and few people wore armor. Staying up in the city for a few days and nights is not eye-catching, who still has the spirit to wear heavy armor all the time, and there is no need to have the city wall to protect it, but these Han Shizhong finally grasped the little personal soldiers by his side, but everyone wore heavy armor, although they held shields, but they had two long knives stuck in their waists, and everyone was still holding ropes.
Xue Yong watched them move up to the city, and the front row of shields spread out to both sides, and everyone hid behind the huge shield erected behind the battlements, dropped the shields in their hands, and just untied the ropes to buckle the battlements.
Behind them, there are dozens of people carrying hot vats, far away, still feel that the heat is pressing, the boiling water on the city has been poured seventy-seven eighty-eight, for no other reason, everything that can be burned in the city has been burned out, but now I don't know how to conjure up more than a dozen vats!
To Xue Yong's surprise, Han Shizhong was also in the queue, he was also covered in armor, his face was already thin and his cheekbones were raised high, he took a step and gasped three times, just holding a spear, and hiding behind the giant shield at the head of the city under the cover of his own soldiers.
Xue Yong grabbed it in one step: "Han Du Yuhou, why did you come up again?" Didn't I say that I am at the head of the city, and you can only take care of your injuries when the sky falls? β
As early as yesterday, when Han Shizhong pounced the Jurchen Tartars on the city, he was injured by a stray arrow, and his injuries were serious, and the weather could only be maintained without deterioration, and the pressure of the war was heavy, and he had no spare strength to ask Yang Ji how he was prepared, in short, one more day was one day, and now at this time, Han Shizhong was able to survive by relying on his previous physical strength to be different from ordinary people.
Now wearing heavy armor and carrying a spear to the city wall, he has really been forced to the last moment! He gasped and watched Xue Yong bend over to meet him, and then glanced at the black Jurchen military horses on the opposite mound of soil through the gap in the giant shield, saw the Wanyan Zongwang banner of the exhibition, and finally listened to the continuous excavation sound below, and smiled faintly at Xue Yong: "Is it a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" For example, Xu Zidi, follow a certain until Juyong Pass, and fight to the death to this day, once the jade is burned, how can a certain be alone? When they arrived at the spring, they would take these children across the underworld and pull the Ten Halls Yama from their positions! The man's husband, if he dies, he will die, can he still lie on the couch and wait for the blade to be added? A certain and his children, there is no stable life! Born in this troubled world, they are just waiting for this day! β
"Xiao Yang handed over the main Shence army to a certain family to take charge on his behalf, Xiao Yang led the main troops, and he has always been strong and persistent in person, how can he lose his name?" He gasped heavily, and after a few words, he couldn't keep up with his breath.
After pausing for a moment, he straightened up and stood up, and said loudly: "What's more, so-and-so has not despaired!" Wanyan Zongwang came in person and used the Jurchens to fill the city, maybe he would admit defeat to Wanyan Zongbi, but characters like Guo Yaoshi are not in the eyes of a certain person! Kill them back, and let Wanyan Zongwang come and take someone's head...... If Wanyan Zongwang doesn't dare to come, this city will be lost, and the remaining children of the Shence army will take them to retreat to Yanjing City, and lead tens of thousands of tigers to fight against the Jurchen Tartars again! β
He waved his hand suddenly: "Wait for my order, concentrate on pouring the boiling water and gold juice, and then the elite will fall down the city and kill his mother!" A certain personally led the team and shared life and death with the beast of Pharmacist Guo! (To be continued.) )
