Chapter 308: Sad Wind

Although the infantry advanced a little slowly, there were still a lot of heavy siege tools to carry. But Xuanyuan Wu's heart is very determined. A moment ago, the soldiers near the Zhangye City Gate had followed Luo Xingtian to make two counterattacks towards the Zhangye City Gate, but they were both repelled by the Southern Prison Army, and Xuanyuan Wu did not even order to send troops to take over the area of other sections of the city wall, but only ordered to firmly guard this city gate.

After more and more southern prison troops entered the city, the Zhangye defenders on both sides seemed to have finally given up their intention to recapture the city gate, and the scout cavalry sent out returned, and the other arrow towers and garrisons on both sides, the Zhangye defenders seemed to be withdrawing.

Taking advantage of the night to attack the city and seize it in one fell swoop, such a completely risky move was a great success, but then Xuanyuan Wu was cautious step by step, showing a very conservative and steady attitude.

Those generals under his command are high-spirited, in Zhangye City for dozens of days of hard work, nothing has been achieved, and heavy casualties, tonight in one fell swoop to break the city successfully, many generals are eager to try, several times to Xuanyuan Wu to fight, many people are strongly requested to immediately drive the army straight in, with the cavalry brigade as the vanguard, concentrate all the cavalry. Immediately carry out a massacre, no matter how bad it is, you must take Luo Xingtian first, as long as you can kill Luo Xingtian, then even if this battle is won, Zhang Yecheng will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Qin Tianzhao.

But in the face of his subordinates who were full of fighting spirit, Xuanyuan Wu resolutely refused his subordinates' invitation to fight. In the face of the doubts and incomprehension of his subordinates, Xuanyuan Wu did not seem to show the slightest joy of successfully breaking the city.

"Brothers, the people of Zhangye City hate us to the core, and the people of Zhangye dare to do something to our soldiers under the leadership of Luo Xingtian, it can be seen how high Luo Xingtian's prestige in the city is, now if we divide our troops to hunt down Luo Xingtian, I can't say that the brothers will all fold in Zhangye City, and the poor mountains and bad waters will come out of the people, every city in the South Prison is built with corpses, besides, it is so dark, where to find Luo Xingtian."

All the generals were stunned, and they were all a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and a general hesitated for a while, and finally came out: "Then general, are we waiting here?" ”

Xuanyuan Wu raised his head, looked at the fireworks on his head, immediately squinted his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about it, if you go to the city to chase and kill Luo Xingtian now, there are still many brothers outside our city who have not entered the city, if Luo Xingtian seizes the opportunity to fight back and is recaptured by him Zhangye City, we are likely to be trapped in Zhangye City, and our efforts will be in vain. ”

"Ahem......"

Luo Xingtian was already so injured that he couldn't ride a horse, after all, he had been fighting a horse for half his life, even if he was strong, he was also a middle-aged man, his physique was not as good as before, he fought fiercely tonight, and the sword on his waist almost killed him, he was able to support and fight fiercely for half the night, and it was already his Luo Xingtian's fierce nature, he just wanted to hold on to Zhang Ye, without Zhang Ye, he could only be regarded as a lonely ghost, since the civil strife in the Southern Prison, Zhang Ye has fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation, Although Qin Tianzhao showed favor to Luo Xingtian several times, Luo Xingtian was always unmoved, Qin Tianzhao and Qin Wen, although the two of them are father and son, but the gap between them is too big.

"Ahem......"

The temporary calm also made Luo Xingtian breathe a sigh of relief, once he loosened down at this moment, he could no longer support it, after all, he already had a very serious injury, plus a night of fierce fighting, not to mention the recurrence of the old injury, it was a new wound, and I didn't know how many more, the sergeant around him could only find a carriage to dismantle the carport, and let this Zhang Ye's backbone sit in the carriage and command along the way, Luo Xingtian was the only reason why they could hold on, if Luo Xingtian died, this Mangyuan City would definitely become Qin Tianzhao's bag.

Luo Xingtian gathered a lot of soldiers in the city along the way, and there were some people who volunteered to join, South Prison, there has never been a shortage of bloody men, along the way, there have been thousands of people who have come to the South Gate, and most of the people who have followed him have learned that the South City Gate has been lost, and the South Prison Army Brigade has entered the city under the leadership of Xuanyuan Wu.

In the last days, Luo Xingtian and the soldiers in the city have persevered until now, many of which are because of Luo Xingtian, the immortal general, and many of his subordinates are locals of Zhangye, even though many of them were drawn from other local armies in the past, and they have also made a home in this Zhangye City over the years, and their homes are all in Zhangye, and they have the intention of protecting their relatives in their homes, if they retreat, what will happen to their wives and children? What about their parents?

Since Qin Tianzhao imprisoned Qin Wen, the places where the army has passed have been like locusts crossing the border, the people have been displaced, a scorched earth, many people have been separated from their wives, reduced to beggars and fled in all directions, looking for a place to live, they don't want their relatives to also embark on this road. They are even more reluctant to give up their homeland for many years.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers under Luo Xingtian's command are willing to fight to the death, completely abandoning life and death, and refusing to take a step back, because they have no way to retreat, and behind them are their families.

Zhangye City at the foot is another big male city in Zhangye. Chongcheng, the barbarians can still break it, but for Zhang Ye, the barbarians are really powerless, which makes Nangong Zhifu and Weng Tianhu have time to regroup and kill back to Chongcheng, so although the situation is so bad, there is always a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, counting on Luo Xingtian, the general, to command, and this Xiongcheng in hand, maybe if you hold on, you can always wait for the turn of the day and guard until the time when the Southern Prison Army retreats......

But all this is just a dream, when these beliefs are supported until tonight, with the southern gate of Zhangye being conquered, the southern prison army entered the city in a big way, and the Xiongguan Iron City of the southern prison was finally opened a gap, and the pillar of the pillar General Luo Xingtian has also been seriously injured, although thousands of people have gathered at this moment, most of them are panicked, and their morale is inevitably low.

Such an army, if it is in the field, I am afraid that it will be on the verge of collapse, but after all, this is a lonely city, even if some soldiers already have the intention of fleeing in their hearts, but where can they flee, at this time they are too busy to take care of themselves, they do not know what happened to the reckless plain, besieged the city for several days, and no messenger can bring them any news.

But Luo Xingtian's usual prestige was still there, and he barely gathered his men and horses all the way to the south gate, and there were no deserters, which was a big miracle.

"Drive, drive......"

Luo Xingtian was already extremely tired, his eyelids were fighting, and suddenly he heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and immediately opened his red eyes, and the knife in his hand was clenched again.

"The end will be too late, please forgive the general!"

In the distance, a captain wearing Zhangye City armor came with a team of men and horses, and after running for most of the night, they finally found Luo Xingtian, which can be regarded as a great determination in their hearts, and finally found the backbone.

Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Xingtian's heart was relieved, and he stood up strongly, he saw the person at a glance, it was the people under his command, who were also stationed at the city gate, and when he heard the wind, he hurried to the vicinity of the south gate.

"It's good to come, go, follow Lao Tzu to block the way of these rebels, don't let them come in!"

Luo Xingtian smiled strongly, clenched the knife in his hand, and after joining the defenders who rushed over, Luo Xingtian immediately ordered his soldiers to find out all the ordnance that could be used.

The troops he brought with him were all hastily pulled down along the way, and many of them brought only their weapons with them, and the archers did not even have time to replenish their arrows. Fortunately, there are still a lot of ordnance in the city, after all, Zhang Ye is also one of the few big cities in the South Prison, especially near the South Gate, Qin Tianzhao's army may not know, but Luo Xingtian, as the master of Zhang Ye, naturally everyone knows this.
