When the five or six hundred people rushed under the city wall, the leader ran up the city wall quickly, glanced left and right, and finally stopped his gaze on Wei Hong's body. The man walked quickly to Wei Hong, his eyes were full of hot looks, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Wei Hong, clasped his hands into fists, and said excitedly: "Mr. Wei, farewell to Hangzhou, I thought I would not have the opportunity to see you again, but I never thought that I would have the honor to see Mr. Wei here again." ”

Hearing this, Wei Hong was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the appearance and physical characteristics of the strong man in front of him, and after looking at it for a while, Wei Hong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the mountain bandit who had taken him away in Hangzhou in order to repay Sun Zihang's kindness! Recognizing this person, Wei Hong raised his eyebrows, and he didn't care that the wound on his head was still bleeding, so he hurriedly helped the other party up, and said excitedly: "Zhou Ding? How did you end up here? ”

Standing up, Zhou Ding grabbed Wei Hong's hands, because he was too excited, his body couldn't stop trembling: "In Hangzhou, thanks to Mr. Wei's kindness, he entered the army as an errand boy, and then transferred from Hangzhou to Dingzhou with the army. A few days ago, Zhou received a letter from Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and learned that Mr. Wei was going to fight with the Turkic thieves and was likely to be in danger. ”

If it was a skirmish, five hundred and sixty men would definitely be considered a strong reinforcement. But now Horsehair Mountain is facing a 60,000 Turkic army, and even the Jade Dragon Guard can't withstand it, let alone the state soldiers with only five combat effectiveness? To put it mildly, once these five hundred men join the battle, they will be lost in an instant. Wei Hong was reluctant to let these five hundred state soldiers join the battle, after all, everyone was raised by their parents, and if they were sent to death in vain, Wei Hong would be condemned by his conscience. But now it's almost unbearable, and more people have more strength, and they can delay as long as they can.

Glancing down at the state soldiers under the city wall, Wei Hong sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Zhou Ding, you can come, Wei is very grateful!" If Horsehair Mountain can hold on for another hour, you and your soldiers will have a lot of merit, and Wei will explain all the things that are said today to the saints! ”

Zhou Ding said indifferently: "I didn't bring people here to make meritorious contributions, just to repay Mr. Wei's kindness in Hangzhou!" ”

Wei Hong was not wrong about Zhou Ding, when he was in Hangzhou, in order to repay Sun Zihang's kindness, he did not hesitate to kidnap Wei Hong, not only offended Li Xiehe, but was almost surrounded and suppressed by the army. Now again, in order to repay Wei Hong's kindness, he did not hesitate to give up his surname, such a man with a real surname is rare in the world! Wei Hong patted Zhou Ding's shoulder and nodded heavily: "Okay!" I, Wei Hong, am very fortunate to be able to get to know you. Divide the men and horses you have brought with you into two parts, 300 men to support the north, and the rest to defend this place with me! ”

"Good!" Zhou Ding gave the order and quickly distributed the troops. Zhou Ding originally wanted to be with Wei Hong here, but Wei Hong didn't agree, after all, the defense in the north is relatively tight, and one more person also has more strength.

As Wei Hong expected, the addition of these five hundred people did not make the battle situation any better, but it still relieved the pressure on Yulongwei to some extent. Qin Huaiyu beside him was already dying, there were not many heavy cavalry left to defend the city gate, and the heavy infantry on the city wall was also physically exhausted. Now there is still half an hour, but every second that passes is like a year for Wei Hong.

At this time, there were only four heavy infantry around Wei Hong, and a large number of Turkic soldiers climbed to the city wall along the ladder, seeing that the heavy infantry focused on protecting Wei Hong, he subconsciously thought that Wei Hong was the general of Horsehair Mountain, so he waved a big knife and pounced on Wei Hong. Although the four heavy infantry tried their best to block, there were many of them, and there were always fish that slipped through the net. Wei Hong's body was weak due to blood loss, and he could no longer deal with the menacing Turkic soldiers, so he grabbed a state soldier at hand, and the two of them dragged Qin Huaiyu to the city.

"Mr. Wei, where are we going?" The state soldiers, who were shocked by the tragic battlefield atmosphere, asked in horror.

Wei Hong pointed to the wheelbarrow placed next to the wall of a private house, and said, "Use the wheelbarrow to take Qin Huaiyu to Wei Guogong, and let Wei Guogong immediately send a doctor for treatment." ”

"Yours?"

"Leave me alone! The battlefield ahead is almost untenable, and if I leave, the lack of command will only accelerate the speed of the rout! Wei Hong urged the state soldiers to quickly take Qin Huaiyu to heal, and after the state soldiers left, Wei Hong stood in place, watching the fire spread on the city wall in the distance, swords and soldiers collided, shouting and killing, like a purgatory on earth. Wei Hong sighed in his heart tiredly: "It is not easy for Jade Dragon Wei to support it until now, how should it last in the next half an hour?" The fate of the entire Datang has been condensed in this half an hour! No, we must not let Horsehair Mountain fall, otherwise even if Comrade Lao Li does not punish himself, other officials will not let him go! ”

Now it's no longer enough to just rely on hand-to-hand combat, you have to come up with a way! Wei Hong sat down on the ground with a puff, covering the wound on his head with one hand, and pressing his temples with the other, enduring the sharp pain in his head, and constantly thinking.

Time was passing minute by minute, and suddenly Wei Hong's eyes lit up, and he stood up desperately and ran towards the city wall. After running to the city wall, Wei Hong called Zhou Ding and ordered Zhou Ding to quickly remove all the state soldiers from the city wall. Although Zhou Ding didn't understand why Wei Hong did this, he still recruited, and after a while, only the remaining three hundred state soldiers were transferred to the inner side of the city wall. Wei Hong looked at the three hundred state soldiers, shook his head, and secretly sighed that the number of people was too small, and it was not enough at all. He immediately instructed Zhou Ding to take three hundred state soldiers and capture all the men he could find in the city.

"Mr. Wei, are you going to catch strong men and go up to be cannon fodder?" Zhou Ding looked at Wei Hong with complicated eyes, in his memory, Wei Hong was a man with affection and righteousness, how could he do such a thing that lost his conscience?

"Let you go, you go, what so much nonsense!" Wei Hong didn't have time to explain now, and urged Zhou Ding to hurry up and catch the strong man in an unkind tone.

Helpless, Zhou Ding could only obey the order, with 300 state soldiers, searched the neighborhood door to door, as long as he found men over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty, all of them were caught, and then driven to the city wall as quickly as possible. Because it was a nearby arrest, the speed was very fast, and more than 300 were arrested in a short time, plus the original state soldiers were 600 people.
