Chapter 983: Heroic Twilight (Part II)

Qu Yongjie returned to Fancheng, what he saw and heard, except for making people more desperate, there were no other accidents, in fact, the soldiers under his command were able to survive until now, he was relieved enough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The room was empty and empty, basically everything that could be used was dragged out to reinforce the city walls, and as a general, his only privilege was now only to eat a full meal a day, lying on the slippery bed, he closed his eyes tiredly, not to the limit of his physical strength, but to the extreme exhaustion of his heart.

He's waiting for failure, he's waiting for death.

"General, General, no, no, no!" There was a shout outside, and the middle officer rushed all the way over, slamming open the hidden gate, Qu Yongjie jumped up, and Huo Di pulled out his knife, "Has the Dingzhou army started to attack?" ”

"It's not!" The middle officer's face was pale, "It's Suo Chao, Suo Chao." ”

"What's wrong with Suo Chao, I went to Quanjialing to see him during the day, he's fine!" Qu Yongjie exclaimed.

"Suo Chao led the garrison of Quanjialing to rush down the mountain, and he led the army to attack the Dingzhou army!" The lieutenant officer replied.

Qu Yongjie was stunned for a moment, Suo Chao had told him that he was going to fight to the death during the day, and he comforted him, but he didn't expect Suo Chao to finally be unable to hold back.

Rather than starving to death and consuming himself like this, Suo Chao may want to die in a vigorous battle!

Walking straight outside, Qu Yongjie said with difficulty: "Let's go, let's go and have a look, and by the way, see off Suo Chao!" ”

The Dingzhou army put down this formation, I am afraid that I have been expecting the Luoyang army to rush out without holding back, Suo Chao is destined to be his last battle.

Suo Chao's army guarding Quanjialing had more than 10,000 people, and as many as 8,000 people followed him down the mountain to attack to the death. As the commander of the army, Suo Chao knew that he had gone and had no return, but as Qu Yongjie said, even if he died, he wanted to die vigorously on the battlefield, instead of waiting until he was so hungry that he couldn't crawl anymore, so that the Dingzhou army rushed up and cut off his head.

He roared, rushed to the front of the line, and rushed to the position of the Dingzhou army at the foot of the mountain without hesitation.

At the foot of Quanjialing, Wei Xin, the famous turtle flow master of the Dingzhou Army, heard the earth-shattering shouts from Quanjialing Mountain, Wei Xin was overjoyed, rushed out of the tent, and laughed loudly, "It's going to be a fat city, hahaha, I didn't expect that I actually hit the jackpot, the big bear, the little black cow, you guys will go cool on the side." ”

The Dingzhou army has been waiting for this moment, waiting for the Luoyang army to make a final fight, seeing the rolling enemy army, the Wei Xin Violent Bear Battalion, which had been famous under the Zhenyuan City, launched its fangs, the soldiers excitedly set up a position, waiting for the enemy to throw themselves into the net, the Violent Bear Battalion's unique wheel formation unfolded, one protruded from the left side, the whole formation rotated slightly, and all the Suo Chao Department was encircled in the formation, the whole large array was stirred like a grinding ship, and each round of rotation would peel off a layer of Suo Chao Department.

Wei Xin stood in the center of this car ** formation, deploying the equipment of the troops, where there was a decline, there would be reserve troops immediately put into it, the entire rotating array had no flaws to find, the only hope to break this formation was to attack the formation eye, to attack Wei Xin's side, but with the strength of Suo Chao's current army, this is just an unattainable myth.

Most of the Suobu soldiers are yellow and thin, in the past month, they are not only physically tortured, but also psychologically overwhelmed, can hold on to the present can still be together, completely because Qu Yongjie is usually well-trained, but the difference in physical strength determines the gap between them and the opponent in strength, the two sides killed for less than half an hour, most of the soldiers are dizzy, more than enough and not enough.

Suo Chao knew where the eye of the formation was, and he also knew how to break this big array, he roared, holding a spear in one hand and a knife in the other, looking at the center of the big array, the veteran who stood under the banner of the Chinese army, advancing step by step, the soldiers around him were getting fewer and fewer, but he didn't care, he came out, he was not ready to go back, all he asked for was to kill one happily, kill one without regrets.

The battle under the Quanjia Ridge not only alarmed Qu Yongjie, but also alarmed Lu Dalin of the Dingzhou Chinese Army, seeing the decisive battle under the ridge, Lu Dalin called Lu Dabing, "Lead your Red Cavalry, cut off the battlefield, and prevent someone from Qu from coming to respond." ”

"Yes!" Lu Dabing excitedly took the order and left.

"Guo Quan!"

"The last general!"

"Lead your Feng Li Division, attack Quanjialing, and occupy this position." Lu Dalin said.

"The last general commands!"

At the height of Fancheng, Qu Yongjie's face was full of tears, and there were not many Liao Liao left among the 8,000 soldiers who rushed down to Quanjialing, and the only one who still had the formation was Suo Chao's department, which was struggling to assault the center of the formation, but there were less than 1,000 people around him. And he was at least a hundred steps away from the center of the opponent's formation.

"Kill!" Li Shengzhi jumped on the horse with a spear, excitedly rushed to kill in the big array, the saber had already cut the blade, at this time I didn't know where to throw it, the spear was on the barrel, it had been soaked in blood, he was extremely experienced in combat, he had already prepared, his hands were wrapped with strips of cloth, it was to prevent blood from slipping his hands, looking at Suo Chao who was angry and angry, and rushed to kill, Li Shengzhi patted his horse to meet him.

When Dangdang, the two weapons collided continuously, Li Shengzhi's tiger mouth was hot, he could barely hold the gun, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry in his heart, the opponent's combat power was surprising, if the opponent was full of combat power, he was really not an opponent, but now, hehe, that is the tiger falling on the plain being bullied by dogs, and the phoenix with falling hair is not as good as a chicken.

With a finger of the spear, the soldiers around him rushed up, surrounded Suo Chao, cut the horse's legs, stabbed Suo Chao up, and seventeen or eighteen spears stabbed indiscriminately.

Suo Chao, who was blocking left and right, finally stopped this round of attack, but the war horse under the seat fell to the ground in mourning, and the four hooves of the horses were cut off in unison, and they fell to the ground, and Suo Chao also fell off the horse.

"Capture this guy alive!" Li Shengzhi was overjoyed, such a general, of course, capturing him alive would be more valuable, and it would also hit the other party's morale even more.

The soldiers shouted and pounced, grabbed their legs and grabbed their hands, and pressed the fallen Suo Chao to the ground.

Suo Chao didn't want to be captured alive, he roared and supported the ground with both hands, and he didn't know where the strength came from, he jumped up from the ground suddenly, and several soldiers who held him fell to the ground with four feet in the air, stretched out his feet and kicked, Suo Chao had already grabbed a flying spear, shouted, kicked the ground, flew up, and roared, the spear suddenly appeared towards Li Shengzhi.

In this case, the other party can actually turn over, Li Shengzhi was taken aback, the spear in his hand stabbed violently, the two guns were exchanged in the air, Li Shengzhi's body shook, and he fell from the horse backwards, Suo Chao ate the opponent's huge blow, and also fell to the ground, without waiting for him to make other movements, several spears behind him had already stabbed him, stabbing him through a pair, and several spears stood up at the same time, lifting his tall body.

With a scream, Suo Chao used all his strength to fly out the spear in his hand and pierce a Dingzhou soldier who was stabbing from the front with a spear. Seeing him so fierce, the Dingzhou soldiers couldn't help but change color.

The spear was drawn suddenly, Suo Chao fell from the air, a pair of thighs widened, looking at the blazing night sky, begging for mercy, he finally died heroically on the battlefield.

Guo Quan's Fengli division did not take much effort to occupy Quanjialing, there were few enemy troops left on the ridge, most of them were wounded soldiers and hungry and sick, and they were blind, watching the Dingzhou army rush up, most of them did not even have the strength to pick up weapons. Seeing the tragic situation on the ridge, Guo Quan couldn't help but shake his head again and again, the battle came to this point, these Luoyang soldiers could still stand up and not surrender, they were indeed considered elite, but unfortunately, they ran into the Dingzhou army.

Lu Dabing's red cavalry was on the battlefield, and he very much expected that Qu Yongjie would send troops to rescue Suo Chao who was trapped on the battlefield, but until Suo Chao was completely annihilated, he did not look forward to the arrival of this moment, and in the direction of Fancheng, he spat heavily and led his troops to retreat.

The loss of Quanjialing forced the defenders of Fancheng into a more embarrassing situation, and the Dingzhou army, which occupied this high ground, set up trebuchets on the ridge and began to threaten the lives of the defenders in the city with stone cannons day and night.

And the situation in the city has become even worse. The food and grass were finally exhausted, the horses, mules and donkeys had all been shaved off, the trees in the city had been stripped of their leaves, even the bark had been stripped off, more and more soldiers were falling from hunger, and what was even more terrible was that disease began to spread in the city. The military doctors, who lacked medicine, could only watch as the soldiers suffered in pain and died in pain.

The city was littered with dead bodies lying on the ground, and when they saw their companions fall, the soldiers had no strength to bury them, but watched with blank eyes as the corpses of their mosquito-infested companions slowly began to decompose and stink.

"General!" The lieutenant officer weakly walked into Qu Yongjie's room again.

"Xu Zimao of Tianzi Mountain surrendered to Dingzhou State." The lieutenant officer has a weak voice.

"Really!" Qu Yongjie's voice was erratic, "Quanjialing is lost, Xu Zimao surrenders, Tianzi Mountain changes hands, presumably, the Dingzhou army is about to start attacking." ”

Indeed, Xu Zimao's surrender to the Dingzhou army made Fancheng envoys go to cover on the other side, and more importantly, through Xu Zimao's account, Lu Dalin confirmed that Fancheng had no resistance anymore.

It's time to attack, it's the end of May, from Minzhou to Luoyang, there are still more than a month to march on the road alone, plus the preparations after arriving in Luoyang, the attack at the end of September is just right.

"Order the whole army and prepare for the siege." Lu Dalin looked at the generals crowded in the tent and ordered loudly.

War drums sounded, shouts rang out, and the Dingzhou soldiers crossed the obstacle and rushed towards Fancheng.

Listening to the earth-shattering slogan of the Dingzhou army outside the city, Qu Yongjie struggled to sit up from the bed, stretched out his hand to complete his armor, tried to make himself look more majestic, tied his waist knife, he sat upright against the wall, and then took out a small bottle from his arms, held it with both hands, and shook it in the direction of Luoyang.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to Huangquan Road to make a front stop for you." Lift the bottle and drink it all.

The lieutenant officer watched Qu Yongjie commit suicide with his medicine in a daze, and couldn't help crying, and in the sound of choking, he pulled out his waist knife, crossed his neck, pulled it hard, blood splashed out, sprayed Qu Yongjie's body, and fell to the sky.
