Chapter 485: Iron Armor

On the city wall of Wuyang County, Dou Jiande's territory in Hebei Province, Li Xian seemed to feel something, slowly looked at the southeast, he subconsciously sniffled, and seemed to smell a smell of blood in the air.

He can't see, he can't hear, he can't smell.

But he clearly knew that in Yuncheng, Dongping County, a bloody battle was inevitable, and the fiercest war that Xu Shiji had faced since he became the military division of Yanyunzhai had begun. Li Xian has confidence in Xu Shiji, and he trusts him enough, and he handed over nearly seven adult horses in Yanyunzhai to him to command, which can be seen from this point Li Xian's mind.

For trusting a trustworthy person when he can trust someone, Li Xian will never be stingy with trust.

This is a bit awkward to say, but it is a true portrayal of Li Xian's character.

Yuncheng

The battle was unbelievably fierce, from early morning to noon, outside the small Yuncheng city wall for half a day, the corpses of the Xia army had accumulated several layers. Ren Dongcheng, who commanded the attack from the beginning of the siege, did not intend to try, the team of 5,000 people was divided into several offensive echelons by him to take turns, and the seamless attack was a test of the soldiers' physical strength and courage, and when the attacking forces were far more than the troops defending the city, this test was particularly difficult and cruel on the defending side.

There were ambushes in Yuncheng, but I don't know why, the Xia army's attack had lasted for more than two hours, and the city wall was full of dangers, but Xu Shiji just didn't give the order to reinforce the defenders. What's even more strange is that Luo Fu commanded a garrison of less than 2,000 people who had been fighting and holding out for so long, and he still did not ask Xu Shiji in the city for help when his troops were obviously insufficient. The Yan Yun army, which had been fighting from early morning to noon, was already exhausted, and they didn't know that there were still a large number of comrades in the city who were watching them silently with clenched fists and twisted hearts, if they knew, maybe their courage and perseverance had collapsed.

Especially at the west gate of Yuncheng, the city wall in this section is relatively low, and the attack of the Xia army is particularly fierce. The other city gates were also blocked by Su Dingfang's men, and although they did not storm but launched intermittent charges, it was impossible for the defenders of the other city gates to divide their forces to support the west gate. Once the troops were divided to support the West Gate, the Xia army attacking the other gates would immediately turn a feint attack into a strong attack.

From early morning to now, Luo Fu has been running back and forth on the city wall with his own soldiers, where there is a gap, he immediately rushed over with his own soldiers to support, and fought for more than two hours in a row, Luo Fu who no longer knows how many people he has killed, feels that his arm is so sore that he can hardly lift it, but his eyes are still bright.

His armor had long been soaked in blood, and blood continued to flow down his armor, and he ran up the city wall more often, and a path appeared on the ground of the city wall that was painted red with blood.

Wiping a handful of blood that fascinated his eyes, Luo Fu slowly exhaled a breath.

The fourth attack of the Xia army slowly retreated, and behind the retreating Xia army, the team that took over the attack had already lined up, Luo Fu knew very well what the Xia army generals were calculating, Su Dingfang was going to use this kind of wheel war to exhaust the courage and physical strength of the defenders. This is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy. Su Dingfang determined that there were very few defenders in Yuncheng, so he would use this tactic of bullying the weak, he was mentally and physically making Yan Yunjun despair, and the art of war often described this tactic of fighting the weak as a lion fighting a rabbit.

But Luo Fu looked at Xia Jun, who was once again overwhelming outside the city, without the slightest fear, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was tired but full of disdain.

"Tell the soldiers!"

Luo Fu turned around and ordered: "Block another attack by the Xia army, reinforcements will arrive!" ”

He glanced at the city, which still looked empty, with a determined look in his eyes.

At the same time, Xu Shiji, who was standing in a courtyard, did not look in the direction of the city wall, even if he looked over, he could not see the fierce battle that took place there, he had been standing motionless here for more than two hours, he was standing here when the shouting and killing sound sounded from outside the city, but his expression was a little strange, when the Xia army began to attack the city, his brows were furrowed very tightly, and he did not deliberately hide the worry in his heart. But the more he came, the more obvious Xia Jun's advantage was, his brows gradually relaxed, and when Xia Jun retreated from the fourth attack, the corners of his mouth actually hooked up a smile.

"It's finished"

Xu Shiji slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned around and instructed his soldiers: "Tell Wu Tianxi to get ready to fight." ”

As if hearing his words, Luo Fu, who was leaning on the city wall with his chest constantly undulating, also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "It's done"

……

……

Half a day's strong attack still failed to break the deadlock, and outside the city wall of the West Gate, the Xia army had already dropped at least a thousand corpses, which made Ren Dongcheng's anger grow bigger and bigger. When he ordered the thousand-man team responsible for the fourth attack to be replaced, he instructed Du Li, the other general who led the fifth attack: "If you can't take Yuncheng again, you and I will go to the general together to judge ourselves and apologize!" ”

Du Li gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

He is not Su Dingfang's cronies, but he knows that if he can't take Yuncheng today, he is afraid that his future will come to an end, and he has reason to believe that once his attack is unfavorable, Su Dingfang will take away his official position with a disadvantage in battle, and even take the opportunity to kill it is not unusual. If a general wants to get rid of his subordinates in the army who don't like him, he will definitely not have a problem on the battlefield.

"General rest assured! I can't take Yuncheng, I'll let people come back to see you with my head! ”

This bloody sentence made Ren Dongcheng feel a little admiration in his heart, although he didn't have a good impression of Du Li, but this sentence narrowed the distance between the two people infinitely, and all the estrangement would automatically disappear at this time!

"If you can't beat Yuncheng, I'll cut off your head with you!"

Ren Dongcheng said loudly: "Where are my personal soldiers!" ”

The hundred and ten personal soldiers behind him immediately responded in unison, and their voices were extremely loud and magnificent.

Ren Dongcheng pointed at Du Li and said loudly: "You all follow General Du, you will accompany him wherever he kills, if he dies in battle, you will all commit suicide and be buried!" Today, you are all his own soldiers, do you hear me? ”

"Whoa!"

One hundred and ten pro-soldiers raised their heads in response, and then strode behind Du Li under the leadership of the pro-soldier academy brigade, everyone did not have the slightest fear, their hands were held on the hilt of the horizontal knife at the waist, and they held it very tightly.

"Thank you, General!"

Du Li's eyes turned red, and then he shouted loudly: "Listen to Lao Tzu, I will never die behind you!" It's a man's, and Lao Tzu killed the Yan Yunjun in Yuncheng cleanly! If you take Yuncheng today, Lao Tzu will drink blood wine with you one by one! ”

"Kill!"

Du Li snorted.

"Kill!"

The nearly 2,000 Xia soldiers of the fifth attack broke out with an earth-shattering roar, and their morale was like a rainbow.

At the same time, Su Dingfang, who was supervising the battle in the back, let out a long breath and said to his cronie Su Lei: "There is no problem." ”

Su Lei nodded and said, "It has been fought to this extent, and it is absolutely impossible for there to be ambushes in Yuncheng." This attack will definitely break through Yuncheng, there are few defenders on the city wall, and if there are reinforcements, they will never come out now. Everyone can see that the Yan Yun army on the city wall has reached the end of the crossbow. ”

"Let's go"

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said, "Don't take prisoners after the attack, kill all of them if you don't leave one." Let the soldiers kill, and after losing so many people, the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers must be revealed. There's nothing like killing someone to vent your way today...... Let them kill as they please, and I will turn a blind eye even if they chop all the captives into minced meat. ”

……

……

Du Li wiped the blood on his face, turned around and looked, there were less than ten Xia soldiers left who followed him to kill the city wall, including Ren Dongcheng's personal soldiers, and nearly 200 of his own personal soldiers followed him to climb the city wall, and then quickly controlled an area, preparing to stay here to protect the follow-up soldiers to enter the city. But what he didn't expect was that those Yan Yunjun, who looked exhausted, would be so fierce. Obviously, those Yanyun Army soldiers looked exhausted, but no one even retreated and flinched until now.

The iron-clad general of the Yan Yun Army came over with more than a hundred soldiers and tried to force Du Li and them down from the city wall. Both sides pounced on each other like red-eyed beasts, biting at each other's flesh and blood. It didn't take long for this section of the wall to be filled with mutilated corpses.

"Kill!"

Du Li roared, and swung his sword at the ironclad general.

Luo Fu was so tired that his arms were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't lift them. But his face remained calm, and there was no trace of fear in his wheezing.

With a bang, the knives in the hands of the two people collided and hit a spark, and both of their bodies shook, their arms hung down softly, and it seemed that no one had the strength to make a second cut.

"Du Li hold on!"

At this time, Su Dingfang's confidant Su Lei led people to climb the city wall, he grabbed the knife in his mouth in his hand, shouted and rushed to Du Li's side. At this time, Luo Fu had no strength, looking at the knife that slashed at his forehead but he didn't even have the strength to dodge, he sighed in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

Dang!

A dragon with a long lance out of the sea generally poked out from behind Luo Fu, and a lance knocked away the horizontal knife in Su Lei's hand, and the lance swung away, and the lance swept through Su Lei's throat as fast as electricity, and a blood line suddenly appeared on Su Lei's neck, and before the blood in his neck spurted out, the lance pierced into Du Li's heart again.

The hand holding the lance suddenly clenched, and after the lance was raised, it slammed it, and Du Li, who was hanging on the blade of the lance, was thrown off the city wall directly, just afraid that the corpse would be broken to pieces. In the next second, the lance smashed into the soldiers of the Xia Army like a dragon, and behind the general holding the lance, countless red-eyed soldiers of the Yanyun Army pounced like wolves. The soldiers of the Xia Army in red suits and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army in black suits collided fiercely, and the blood waves churned violently.

Luo Fu slowly opened his eyes and watched the general with a long lance in his hand knock over the enemies in front of him one after another like a flock of sheep. Looking at the familiar back, Luo Fu smiled relievedly and then sat on the ground.

"Wearing armor is much more pleasing to the eye than wearing a Confucian shirt."

He muttered, reached out and took a big sip of the sac. The blood in his mouth and the liquor went into his throat together, burning all the way into his chest and abdomen.

Hearty.
