Chapter 120: A Critical Moment
Zhang Chun was in a hurry, he commanded his soldiers to constantly rush forward, he wanted to quickly break through the defense line of the cannon fodder soldiers, and wanted to recapture and hold the city gate.
The armor on his face and body was already stained with blood, coupled with his hideous countenance, and the big knife that was constantly dripping blood, it was like killing a god.
Although the cannon fodder soldiers were frantically charging at him, they were not his enemies at all, and warm corpses kept falling in front of his eyes.
Zhang Chun and his overseer team rushed desperately to kill, killing the cannon fodder soldiers to the point of crying father and mother.
However, this situation only lasted for a short time, and they only advanced more than ten meters before they were again met with stubborn resistance from the cannon fodder.
Hearing the shouting voice behind the rebel soldiers, Zhang Chun finally understood at this time that the main general of the Han army should be quite cunning, and he had planted a nail in Xiangping City in advance.
After the Han army began to attack the city, these meticulous works began to rebel against those cannon fodder soldiers, if it weren't for this, those damn cannon fodder soldiers would never dare to make trouble.
These small works were mixed into the ranks of the cannon fodder, who were instigated to revolt at the most critical moment, taking advantage of the chaos to occupy the city gates and lower the drawbridge.
Zhang Chun burst into tears and said: "These are the poor people in Xiangping City in front of you, don't you have the strength to kill me fiercely, they can't resist our progress."
As long as the gates are closed, victory will be tilted in our favor, and Lord Qiu Liju has already led 3,000 men and horses to this place.
Give me all the housekeeping skills and stride forward! Kill these damned traitors, and have enough for a big bowl of meat at night. ”
Zhang Chun boosted the morale of his subordinate team while launching a fierce attack.
It's closer, it's getting closer.
Zhang Chun saw that the city gate and drawbridge were gradually enlarged in his eyes, and they were about to kill in front of the city gate.
When the soldiers of the Overseer saw this, their hearts were also filled with hope.
As long as they can close the city gate, then the siege of the Han army will definitely not be easy this time, even if the soldiers of the Han army are several times that of them, they will never attack Xiangping City.
At this time, the soldiers of the Overseer burst into their strongest attack, killing the cannon fodder who had been defeated until they began to collapse.
At this time, if it weren't for Qiu Mao leading more than 20 Han soldiers under his command to block the front, Zhang Chun and them would have closed the upper city gate.
Now Zhang Chun and the Han army outside the city are comparing speed, to see who can be faster.
Whichever side of the army can control the gates and drawbridges first, then whichever side will gain the upper hand in this siege.
The soldiers of the Overseer were brave, and some of them even broke through the line formed by the cannon fodder and broke through the human wall of the cannon fodder.
One, two...... More than 20 soldiers of the Overseer Brigade broke through the defensive line and rushed to the city gate, where they fought with Qiu Mao's few small soldiers who had stayed there to guard the city gate.
One side wants to close the city gate as soon as possible, and the soldiers of the other side want to fight to the death to keep the city gate closed.
The soldiers who stayed behind in the city gate were the most elite soldiers in the Han army, although the number was smaller than that of Zhang Chun's supervising team, but they were loyal and brave, even if they were one enemy and two, even if they were besieged by several people, they would not retreat.
Behind them is the city gate, which is the key to the victory of the Han army in attacking Xiangping, and now the cavalry of the Han army is accelerating, as long as they can hold on for a while, as long as the cavalry of the Han army can reach the city gate first, then this time they are meritorious heroes.
Even if these people died in battle, General Sun Xu of the Han Army would give them more things at home according to their military exploits, so that his family could live without worries.
The most tragic mutual attack, you give me a knife, I give you a shot, you cut off one of my arms, I cut off one of your arms in turn.
Although these meticulous works of the Han army are elite, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and there are more and more people who break through the defense line on the side of the warlord, and they are already beyond their strength.
Even so, they stood firmly in front of the gates, trying their best to prevent the Overseers from closing them.
When the Han soldiers who were cut to the ground like bloody people, when they saw the soldiers of the Overseer trying to walk past them, they immediately hugged the thighs of these soldiers, even if they bit them with their mouths, and also caused some damage to these soldiers, so that these soldiers could not easily walk to the gate.
"Hold on, as long as you hold on for another minute, the army of the Han army will be able to kill in, everyone hold on, don't let Zhang Chun and them pass."
"If we lose, we will all die, only at this time to fight hard, only by blocking the attack of these Warlords, can we have the possibility of survival."
Qiu Mao roared loudly as he fended off the attack of the Warlords.
Qiu Mao knew in his heart that what he was saying now, as long as these cannon fodder soldiers were not stupid, they would be able to understand them.
What they are doing now is a mutiny, if Zhang Chun really closes the city gate and defeats the Han soldiers, then these mutinous soldiers will all die, and Zhang Chun will not let go alone.
At this time, if they don't fight hard, they will die, if they work hard, there is still a chance to survive, and they will inevitably choose to fight to the death.
As long as they can hold out until Gongsun Xu's army enters the city, then they will become soldiers of the Han army and become heroes of military merit.
Qiu Mao already had several wounds on his face and body, although none of them were fatal injuries, but he already felt powerless.
However, Qiu Mao thought of Gongsun Xu, and thought of Gongsun Da and Qi Ming......
I don't want to die, I'm going to live stubbornly, I'm going to snipe these damned enemies in this place, they want to take the gates unless they pass over my corpse.
Qiu Mao's momentum surged suddenly, and he slashed back the soldiers of the three warlords in front of him......
Zhang Chun's overseer team saw that the cannon fodder soldiers were constantly retreating, and the city gate was getting closer and closer to them, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they attacked the opponent fiercely, hoping that they could quickly pass through these cannon fodder soldiers.
Time passed little by little, the city gate was closing little by little, the drawbridge was twisting upwards little by little, and Qiu Mao watched more and more soldiers of the Overseer rush towards the city gate.
Qiu Mao looked at the city gate that was about to close and the drawbridge that was slowly rising, and he thought angrily in his heart, could it be that we failed this time? I'm not reconciled!
