Chapter 306: Hope
Although he is a little infamous in the South Prison, he is not a mediocre person, how can a person who can guard the dust pass be a mediocre person, it is precisely because Qin Wen is willing to believe in him, so he is also willing to fight for Qin Wen!
Soldiers die for confidants, women are pleasing to themselves, heroes are not only defined on the battlefield, leading the knife into a fast is respectable, ten years of dormancy and forbearance, giving up all the glory and glory, silently burning up their own wind years, but greater than killing himself, Luo Xingtian is not worse than Nangong to control anger, but the hero makes the times, what he lacks is just an opportunity, but in the face of Qin Tianzhao's army, he has proven himself, in the dust pass, he also proved himself, one day broke Mangyuan City, who can say that he is mediocre!
"Alas!"
Luo Xingtian let out a long sigh and looked at the sky, like rubble, as if this day was about to fall, the wind was rising, and it seemed that a night rain was coming.
In the chaos of the night, he just listened to the movement with his ears, and immediately judged that the number of this support army would never be large! At most, it's only two hundred rides!
With such a small number of people, it is enough to kill the vanguard of the Southern Prison Army in front of him, but if you want to drive out the Southern Prison Army that has entered the city, it is simply a drop in the bucket! Seeing that the Southern Prison Army was retreating, he had already jumped up quickly and shouted loudly: "Stop, poor Kou Mo chase, come back and defend!" Herald, assemble the brethren! ”
The number of this support army was small, and in the darkness, the chaotic Southern Prison Army was killed and chased out of two streets, and the commander of the army was obviously very wise, so he immediately stopped, gathered his men and ran back.
Luo Xingtian's face was already extremely difficult to see, he couldn't even stand on his feet, and under the support of the two guards, he finally waited for the general who led this small reinforcement army to come to the front.
Without waiting for the other party to speak first, Luo Xingtian shouted: "How many people have you brought!" Which city are you from, and where is Wu Ze? ”
The leader was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down, his face covered with blood, and lowered his voice and said quickly: "General! I am a patrol in the city, Wu organized a counterattack behind me, and I only brought two hundred horsemen, half of which were loose horsemen from the city who gathered along the way! ”
"Poof......
Luo Xingtian was furious, vomited blood and fell, and suddenly someone around him grabbed him and held him up. Then they gathered their men and found a horse to tie the general on horseback, and the team allowed to retreat.
There was a fierce battle just now, and the defenders were fighting to the death, all relying on the support of Luo Xingtian's belief in reinforcements and counterattacks, once Luo Xingtian fell at this moment, the Zhang Ye sergeants were immediately silent, but these reinforcements were going to retreat, and the remaining people in the defenders were suddenly very weak, and many people looked at the corpses all over the ground, crying, and unwilling.
Morale was originally very weak, and at this moment, someone couldn't help but shout: "What to retreat!" We have lost so many people, and we have supported ourselves until now, just waiting for reinforcements to counterattack, and we have retreated like this, are we worthy of our dead brothers, why, why? ”
Someone picked the head, and immediately someone should shout, and for a while the crowd was indignant, although there were only a few people who followed Luo Xingtian for the rest of their lives just now, but these people shouted one after another, but the voice made those reinforcements and cavalry feel a sense of guilt, and they only felt that if they really retreated at this moment, they would really be cowardly.
"Brothers, this place can't be defended, withdraw, withdraw!"
The leader who came to help laughed miserably, hearing the indignant voices of the soldiers, he was helpless, but he didn't have a little will to fight, Qin Tianzhao's army had already driven straight in, or it wouldn't be long before Zhang Ye would become Qin Tianzhao's bag.
Luo Xingtian was angry and vomited blood and fell into a coma, and halfway through, he woke up on horseback, once he woke up, and now his team was retreating, he was immediately furious, and shouted: "Someone! Come! Who ordered the retreat! Stop it! Stop! ”
There was his escort next to him, and he was already full of wounds, large and small, so he hurriedly came up and wept at this moment: "General, we can't hold it, there are too few of us, and the brigade behind us can't come up, so we can only retreat......
"Can't retreat, never retreat!"
Luo Xingtian gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, forced himself to sit up straight on the horse's back, and shouted: "Stop!" Stop!! ”
What kind of identity he was, even if he was seriously injured, but once he spoke, no one in this team dared to disobey, the team slowed down, and then stopped on the road.
The leader came up and persuaded bitterly: "General, it's not that we are afraid of death, our lives are cheap, it doesn't matter if we die, general, you are different, you are the pillar of Zhangye City, you must not let you have any ......"
"Phew! The city defenses are all lost, what is the use of me Luo Xingtian even if I go back alive! ! It's just nonsense, go, go back with Lao Tzu! ”
Luo Xingtian gasped heavily, he broke free from the guards who were supporting him next to him, and shouted loudly: "The enemy's night attack is in a hurry, and they haven't gained a firm foothold yet!" I'm afraid that after dawn, their brigade will enter the city before the whole army advances! We just lost a South Gate! Zhang Ye is still in our hands! There are still garrisons at the other heads of my Zhangye City! We still have a lot of brothers, and if we retreat in such a hurry, there will be chaos in the city, and many troops on the front line of the city defense will not have time to retreat! Those troops and brothers in the city, did they just throw them to the Southern Prison Army? ”
What else did the little leader have to say, but Luo Xingtian was furious, raised his hand and pointed at him and shouted: "Lao Tzu is Luo Xingtian, I have the final say on all military affairs in the city!" At this time, 100,000 people are in a hurry, if you talk nonsense again, I will kill you immediately! ”
Hearing Luo Xingtian's words, the little leader's face changed, and although his face was still full of anxiety, he finally closed his mouth. Seeing that the little leader stopped talking, Luo Xingtian immediately calmed down, and immediately touched his waist with his right hand, but his waist was empty, and he immediately shouted: "What about the knife!" Where's my knife! ”
His war knife had already been damaged in the fierce battle just now, and the guards around him immediately stuffed a saber into his hand, Luo Xingtian forcibly supported it, took the knife, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, you can't retreat!" There are still so many of our troops in the city defense, once we retreat first, they will be trapped and killed by the Southern Prison Army one by one! Let's kill back! Gather the defenders of the city defense, and there is still a fight! Ladies and gentlemen, if you have the courage to turn back with me and fight to the death, or you can surrender to them! ”
Luo Xingtian is the pillar of the city, how high the prestige in the army, tonight he experienced the battle and was seriously injured, at this moment is still so high-spirited, and the soldiers under his command are even more enthusiastic in their hearts.
"We are not a bad seed, we would rather die than surrender!"
"The city is in the people, the city is ruined!"
Hearing Luo Xingtian's words, all the people changed their faces, humiliation, this is a kind of humiliation, especially those who fought with him for the rest of their lives just now shouted: "That's it!" It's just a life! Sacrifice your life for the country, the true character of a soldier! Sir, take us to fight! What your long knife is pointing at, we will not back down! The crowd below was high-pitched, and even the cavalry reinforcements who came later shouted in response.
Luo Xingtian finally relaxed, just for a moment, he immediately ordered, all the men and horses turned around, he glanced at the people behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I can't hold this place, but I still can't lose it, herald, go collect the army, and order the brothers at the head of the city to come here, Lao Tzu will fight to the death with these wastes of the Southern Prison Army!" ”
There are only more than 200 horsemen around him at the moment, half of them are wounded, but fortunately, the fierce battle has repelled the vanguard of the Southern Prison Army, and there are still many ownerless war horses on the battlefield at this time, and the horses are rich at this moment, Luo Xingtian gave an order, and the whole army immediately gathered the team and began to strengthen the street defense line in this vicinity.
At this moment, it was already the second half of the night, not far from dawn, after a fierce battle, the sound of fighting and shaking the sky was still heard in the direction of the south city gate, Luo Xingtian never took a step back, and the fire in the direction of the south city gate had already alarmed the people in the city.
It seems that everyone has a faint reaction that there will be a big change tonight. Originally, there were hundreds of patrols in the city to maintain order, but tonight the city defense was attacked, the army was urgently mobilized, and many patrols were gathered away, and the fierce battle in the direction of the city defense, coupled with the fire at the city gate, and there should be chaos inside, there has gradually appeared some chaos in the city.
The herald in the army galloped in the city, with his men and horses, each of them ran in the direction of the eight gates, 100,000 urgently, and the situation in the city had reached an extremely vicious situation. Most of the patrol horses in the city are like headless flies, they don't know where to go, and they don't know what went wrong, and at this time, there is some chaos in the city, and the ruffians who used to be closed in the past also escaped at this time, killing people and setting fires, creating chaos, and many soldiers were played by these ruffians and hooligans, and even in some places, the soldiers of the patrol were surrounded in chaos.
