Chapter 222: Death Fight
In the dust pass, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and at this moment of life and death, both sides were already red-eyed, fighting to the death like beasts.
On the city wall, the reckless army continued to climb up the ladder, and they were constantly returned fire by the soldiers defending the city, and the weapons were broken, and they used fists, kicks, headsbutts, and gnawed with teeth, and both sides exhausted all the methods they could use, as long as they could inflict damage on the enemy.
The real fight has reached the most primitive point, weapons are not important, life is exchanged, in order to survive, they try their best to defend their lives, in the face of the enemy, they can only rush forward frantically, any language communication has no effect.
There is only one best way, kill him, everyone is thinking like this, kill the enemy in front of you, and you will be able to survive.
On the horse road at the head of the city, between the arrows, under the base of the city wall, and by the moat, there were already piles of corpses, including the soldiers of the city and the soldiers who defended the city. Blood, mottled and sprinkled all over every inch of land, the breeze blew, the bloody breath spread out in all directions, making people smell sick, and the city wall was as miserable and cruel as hell on earth.
It was almost dawn, An Shixian stood in front of the Chinese military tent five miles away from the city, closed his eyes expressionlessly, an old face twitched a few times inadvertently, and the morning breeze blew through his silver armor, mixed with a strong smell of blood, as if dyeing this culprit of the military disaster a little blood-red.
This wave of siege was repulsed again, and none of the soldiers who participated in the siege came back alive, and thousands of lives were taken back by God in an instant. Nangong is angry, you really deserve to be a famous general, I really underestimate you, but ...... How many soldiers do you have left to die?
When he opened his eyes, An Shixian's expression was still solemn, and the horsewhip pointed obliquely at the head of the city, and said lightly: "Go!" Send 3,000 soldiers, give me another attack, before sunrise must take the dust pass, at that time, slaughter the city for three days and three nights, so that this so-called first male pass in the southern prison will be reduced to ashes! ”
When a general beside him heard this, his resolute face flashed with determination, and after bowing down and clenching his fists, he walked away with his hands held high. Three thousand soldiers in black armor rushed to the head of the city like a black tide, crashing against the crumbling walls of the dust pass.
"Drums! Cheer on the siege soldiers! ”
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The low and powerful sound of the drums echoes in the silent early morning. Between the arrow battlements of the western city wall, Nangong Zhinu held a halberd in his left hand, taking advantage of the rare short truce, he was arranging the manpower of the city defenders, replenishing the city defense equipment, repairing the fortifications, and waiting for the next wave of attacks to come at any time.
His expression was very calm, his left arm had been wounded, it was made by a soldier of the Mangyuan Army who had climbed the city wall, and a large piece of flesh from his left arm was cut off with a knife, of course, the soldier of Mangyuan City also died under his sword, and was stabbed in the heart. Cruising back and forth on the city wall, Nangong looked angrily at the wounded soldiers who fell under the arrow stacks and kept moaning and wailing, and his resolute face twitched imperceptibly a few times. This is war, there is no mercy, there is no sympathy, and since he has taken up arms, he must be ready at any time for the moment of death in battle, including himself.
Walked up to a wounded soldier, the wounded soldier was unconscious, his left thigh had been cut off by the enemy, blood was flowing all over the ground, due to the lack of medicine to stop bleeding, the young wounded soldier had come to the end of his life, unconscious, his blood-stained body was still convulsing from time to time, and his life was being lost with his blood. The doctor who accompanied the army stood up, looked at Feng Qiudao, and sighed bitterly.
Nangong Zhi's dry lips trembled for a moment, then he squeezed it tightly, slowly pulled out his sword, and gently pressed it against the heart of the wounded soldier, looking at this young face, his heart was as painful as being pricked by a needle. "I will support your parents, wife, children, brothers, go all the way!"
As he whispered these words in his ear, the young wounded soldier ceased to twitch, and a smile of relief appeared on his face, blooming like a mandala flower on the blood-stained battlefield.
Nangong closed his eyes in anger, his steel teeth were crushed, his sword quickly pierced into the heart of the wounded soldier, and quickly pulled out, his movements were neat and crisp, and the blood burst out, and the young wounded soldier ended his short life without pain, and the faint smile still stayed on his deceased face. Gritting his teeth, Nangong Zhi's eyes were red with anger, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, slowly scanning the soldiers around him with numb expressions, and said in a deep voice: "If the next battle, I am also like this brother, I have no hope, I hope you will do the same as I did just now." What is Paoze? Not only the comrades-in-arms who fight together, but also when the brothers around you are worse than dead, you must also learn to raise the sword in your hand and give him a good time! This is mercy, great mercy on the battlefield! ”
Turning to look at the dense array of soldiers and horses in Mangyuan City outside the city, Nangong Zhi exhaled angrily and said calmly: "But enjoy Junlu, be loyal to the king, brothers, our strength is less than five thousand, maybe the Chenguan City will be broken today, maybe our city defense will be defeated in the next wave of attacks, but ...... I hope that my Nangong Anger can see that our brothers are still fighting to the last man, so that even if the city is broken, it is worthy of the name of loyalty and righteousness, and I will die blindly, brothers, please! ”
"Kill!"
The faces of the soldiers, who had become numb and soaked in blood, began to be vivid again, and everyone shouted in unison, and the sound could break stones, spreading the word for nine nights.
"Uhhh
The sound of low trumpets sounded outside the city, the sound of war drums, and the soldiers and horses of the tide-like Mangyuan City were not afraid of death holding high the ladder, and once again launched an attack, one after another twisted and hideous faces, from far and near......
Under the dust of the city, the corpses are piled up like a mountain. Rivers of blood.
Ahn Se-hyun's eyebrows kept jumping. Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses have been killed and wounded, and all of them have died in this siege battle.
This made An Shixian very distressed. The 10,000 people in Mangyuan City are the chips he is competing for dominance in the world, sitting on the southwest mansion, the most important bargaining chip, in just a few days, nearly 10,000 people have died, and until now, even a small Chenguan City has not been taken, which makes An Shixian shake his strategic concept of conquering various provinces in the future and waving his army to the north.
The original plan was indeed flawless, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, to capture the dust pass by secret attack, and at the same time send troops to exterminate the barbarians closest to the dust pass in the southwest province, hold the throat of this southern prison, and kill the two most important people, Liu Fa and Nangong to control the anger, the two generals that Qin Wen has relied on the most in recent years, and they are also the confidants of him and Qin Tianzhao.
Then according to the city, tens of thousands of people defend a city, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and it is not a problem to defend it for a year and a half, in this year and a half. He will use his prestige to incite all the families and people in the southwest and the refugees who fled from the north due to the military disaster in the northwest, and trick them into rising up and working together. Thus holding half of the mountains and rivers of the entire Great Xia in his hands.
But...... Now he is in a dilemma. The casualty number of his own soldiers is still increasing, but Chenguan City is still in the hands of Nangong Nu.
What went wrong? An Shixian was puzzled. Moment before the troops, Nangong was angry and ordered to collect the tools to defend the city, and then ordered to collect fire oil, since Nangong was angry to the dust pass, he ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, how did they see through their intentions?
Could it be that Nangong will be unpredictable? If Nangong Zhifu fights with him in the field, An Shixian can wipe it out without much effort, but once they enter the city, it is difficult to say whether the winner or loser, An Shixian has read a lot of books since he was a child, he knows that there was a war in the previous dynasty, and there were only 10,000 old and weak soldiers defending the city, but they did not lack food and grass in the city, the equipment was sufficient, relying on the strong walls of the city, the enemy's 100,000 elite soldiers were attacked for three years and did not take it, and finally the enemy's main general had to withdraw the army, throw down the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers, and retreat back in ashes.
Ahn felt that he was also in this predicament now. Everything deviated from his plan, and the secret attack was changed to an open attack. The effect is naturally much worse, one siege failed again and again, he had thought about withdrawing more than once, he didn't want to bury the lives of the soldiers under this city in vain, but then he thought about considering that the casualties of the soldiers defending the city may be greater, perhaps, as long as he attacked again, the city would fall......
