Chapter 356: The Bitter Battle at the Head of the City (Part II)

Lu Thirty saw that there were only more than ten soldiers on his side at the head of the city, and the defenders of Zizhou also had more than a thousand. This time was the most critical moment, and he no longer stopped, leaning against the city gate, and the sword and shield were used to parry the fierce attacks of the Zizhou defenders.

The Zizhou defenders at the head of the city are also fighting for their lives at this moment, although they are not strong in battle, but they can also understand that if they don't fight hard at this time, their lives will be short, because no one will stop to accept their surrender and negotiate terms at this critical time of attacking the city.

Lu Thirty's health is very good, his physical strength and skills have been under non-stop training over the years, in the face of the Zizhou defenders who are eager to kill themselves, he is not in a hurry, the hand shield is very strong, and the horizontal knife in his hand is sharp, and he has cut down two Zizhou defenders in a short time.

And when he resisted bravely, his soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, and with a steady stream of his own personnel climbing to the top of the city, Lu Thirty had a lot of confidence in his heart. He shouted: "The sons and daughters of the Weiyuan Army, for the sake of Weizhou and His Royal Highness King Ji, kill the enemy!" ”

Lu Thirty's shout was echoed by the Weiyuan Army sergeants at the head of the city, and for a while, they all howled loudly. When he landed, the momentum of the Weiyuan army soared, while the morale of the defenders of Zizhou plummeted.

The leader of the defenders of the West Gate of Zizhou is called Chenghe, he is a close confidant of Yang Shili, and Yang Shili is a fellow villager, so this time the city defense handed over the heavy responsibility of the West Gate to him.

He saw how brave these enemy troops were, and his heart trembled. But at this time, it was necessary to deal with it decisively, so he shouted: "Quickly release the arrows and shoot these Weizhou barbarians." ”

With Chenghe's shouting, the feather arrows "swished", and many of Lu Thirty and many Weiyuan sergeants who were fighting in front of him were immediately hit by the arrows. The feather arrows were too dense, and although Lu Thirty was strongly guarded by the sergeant, he was still hit by two feather arrows in his shoulder and leg.

Although he didn't hit the vital point, he could still feel the pain radiating from the arrow, and he couldn't be discouraged at this time, so he shouted again: "It's time for the sons and daughters to fight hard for Weizhou and His Royal Highness King Ji, kill the enemy!" ”

After shouting, he threw away the hand shield in his hand, and then held the horizontal knife in one hand and desperately fired the feather arrows that were shot, pulling the military man who could no longer stand beside him.

"Good brother, hold on!"

Lu Thirty's words were not answered, he knew that his side was in an absolute weakness at this time, but he had to insist. He looked at the figure standing on his own side at the head of the city less and less, and he couldn't help but redden, a certain will soon catch up with you, big guy Huangquan Road is a good companion.

When Xuanyuan Mingguang ascended to the top of the city, he found that Lu Thirty's body was already covered with blood and was already crumbling.

He felt that although this man was a little taciturn, he was very down-to-earth. Even in battle, he is charging forward, he is a good man!

But at this time, praise is appreciated, and it is important to take the head of the city, he is no longer distracted, and joins the Erlang who has been fighting at the head of the city with a sword and shield, and shouts loudly to Lu Thirty: "Commander Lu hold on, a certain Xuanyuan Mingguang has come to save you." ”

Lu Thirty heard Xuanyuan Mingguang's shout, his heart was slightly excited, and the horizontal knife in his hand seemed to be more powerful.

While defending against the attack of the defenders of Zizhou, Xuanyuan Mingguang slowly moved towards Lu Thirty, and at this time he had to rescue him.

Although the Weiyuan Army has not been in the army for a long time, they have been trained in Weizhou for a long time, and the training of the Weizhou recruit camp pays great attention to cultivating the tacit understanding and feelings between the sergeants. At such a critical time of siege, everyone believed in their comrades, and they were relieved to hand over their backs and flanks to their comrades, and also bought time for their comrades in the city.

The defenders of Zizhou are prevalent in small groups in the army, although there are big hills, but the soldiers in the big mountains are very desperate, they face the brave Weiyuan army, and the lack of momentum leads to their lack of blood bravery.

The defenders did not have blood and bravery, and the offensive was insufficient, which was also the reason why the Weiyuan army was able to easily reach the top of the city. With the passage of time, there were more and more soldiers of the Weiyuan army on the city, and the momentum of the Zizhou defenders was getting weaker and weaker.

When Chenghe saw this scene, he was anxious, and he called his cronies and told him to hurry to the bottom to prepare the horses, and then sent someone to the city to report the news, asking for someone to be sent to defend the West Gate.

He saw that these enemy troops were so brave, especially a man who looked like an officer, covered in blood and fighting to the death.

The leader is desperate to the death, and the soldiers below are also doing the same. On the other hand, his morale was low, and he let the feather arrows go a few times, but the effect on the enemy was not good.

Seeing that the decline of the city's own side was becoming more and more obvious, he also had the intention of retreating. However, he was not allowed to act, the reinforcements in the city had already arrived, and seeing that his number had increased greatly, Chenghe had confidence again. He said unhurriedly to the guards beside him: "Come and take a certain horizontal knife, and a certain will also slash a few enemy chieftains today, so that Ambassador Yang will know that such and such is not a rice bucket." ”

Chenghe's personal guards all knew that his commander was a rudder who saw the wind, and now that the reinforcements came, he immediately made a gesture to play, but only then hid in the gatehouse and shouted, this enemy weapon is invincible.

Cheng He pretended, but they couldn't let Cheng Commander really kill the enemy, so they persuaded Cheng Commander to have the demeanor of a general. And take the West Gate to guard the palace on the commander, and it is not appropriate to take risks lightly.

Chenghe saw that his subordinates were so knowledgeable, so he argued twice, and then gave up. Then he said to his subordinates: "Continue to release arrows, and send death squads to drive down the Weizhou barbarians." ”

Xuanyuan Mingguang finally came to Lu Thirty's side, and after inquiring, he learned that the feather arrows on Lu Thirty's body did not hurt the vital point, he felt a little at ease, and then let Lu Thirty rest behind him, he and the sergeant fought side by side, while resisting the Zizhou defenders at the head of the city, and commanding the soldiers to attack the weak places of the defenders.

Just when the defenders at the head of the city were just showing the trend of retreat, the defenders of Zizhou suddenly shouted loudly, and their morale was boosted quickly, as if they had suddenly beaten the blood. Seeing this situation, Xuanyuan Mingguang's heart was drumming, could it be that the defenders of Zizhou came with a large number of reinforcements?

Xuanyuan Mingguang's guess immediately became a reality, because the original sparse feather arrows suddenly became dense again, and then the sergeants of the Weiyuan Army at the head of the city were immediately shot down a lot, and for a while, Xuanyuan Mingguang's heart was in a hurry.

He shouted loudly, and the unfallen soldiers insisted on waiting for reinforcements, carefully dodging the dense feathered arrows.

Li Bao heard the news from the guards in the big tent of the Chinese army that the offensive of the West Gate had broken through, and it was very likely that he would be the first to break through the city. He was overjoyed when he heard this, and then explained a few words to Zhou Rui, who was commanding the Chinese army, and then took the personal guards led by Yi Wuji to the military formation at the West Gate.

When they arrived at the West Gate City, Li Bao immediately found Wang Jian and Lu Yanhong, who commanded the battle, and Wang and Lu were very happy when they saw Li Bao in person, which showed that their Ximen offensive had been valued by His Royal Highness King Ji.

So they immediately ordered their soldiers to intensify their attacks, so as not to disappoint His Royal Highness King Ji.

Xuanyuan Mingguang looked at the Zizhou defenders who were constantly pouring in front of him, and he felt a little regretful in his heart for a while, his first battle from the army was about to die, and he was really a little unwilling.

However, dying on the battlefield is his long-cherished wish, and since he has got what he wants, there is nothing unwilling, looking at the colleagues who are constantly falling around him, he doesn't feel that his eyes are hot.

After careful observation, Li Bao found that the offensive on the west gate seemed to be hindered, so he asked Wang Jian, "Who is leading the army at the head of the city, Wang Lushuai?" ”

"Returning to the king, this battle is led by the Xuanyuan Mingguang battalion, which performed well when capturing Chengdu, and a total of six battalions are on the head of the city."

"It looks like the battle in the city is not going well, do you have any ideas?" Li Bao looked at the crowd.

Wang Jian and Lu Yanhong glanced at each other, and felt a little embarrassed, the situation on the head of the city, he didn't know, now he could only see if the sergeant at the head of the city could scare the defenders on the opposite side, only by scaring the defenders with their own blood and courage could they open a bloody road for themselves.

But at this time, when King Ji asked, they couldn't help but answer. "This, I can't think of a powerful way, and now I can only look at the luck of the sons."

Li Bao listened to Wang Jian's words, and said in his heart that he was demanding them. However, it would be a pity if the young man Xuanyuan Mingguang died in the city at this moment.

How can I save him? Li Bao thought for a while, and then called Yi Wuji and said: "You lead the guards to the capital, each of you carries Zhuge crossbow and our crockpot grenade, each person brings three, not more, when you get to the city, first shoot a wave with a Zhuge crossbow, and then use a crockpot grenade to blow up a wave, remember." Climb up the ladder, you can't be timid when you get to the city, you must be fast! ”

Then Li Baoyou got on his horse and ran to the camp of the Wind and Fire Army, and after arriving at the camp, Li Bao said to Yang Liu: "Speed the cannon, bomb the city!" ”

Yang Liu hesitated a little, "There are still our comrades at the head of the city, if you fire at this time, I'm afraid that it will accidentally injure our people." ”

"You're stupid, you shoot the muzzle of the cannon high, the purpose of this is just to intimidate them, understand?"

Hearing Li Bao say this, Yang Liu immediately understood. He smiled and nodded, and then shouted to his soldiers, "Prepare to fire, raise the target of the cannon by two blocks......"

As Yang Liu's order was given, the artillery of the Wind and Fire Battalion quickly roared and rumbled.

Chenghe saw that the Weiyuan army at the head of the city was getting fewer and fewer, and he was overjoyed in his heart. But before he could laugh enough, the rumbling shells fired again, and he immediately lost his courage. yelled, "Quick, hide." ”

He is the leader, he wants to run for his life, how can the soldiers under him still have the heart to attack the Weiyuan army. As a result, the urgent offensive immediately collapsed, and the Weiyuan army at the head of the city immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanyuan Mingguang looked at the feather arrows behind him and on his body, he laughed, and then shouted: "People die and birds face the sky, they don't die for thousands of years, Lao Tzu can't die this time, and he won't die in the future." ”
