If the battle at the east gate is described as in full swing, then the north gate is a river of blood.

Because the main commander of the attack on the north gate was Zhou Yi, the general of Han Sui, and most of the soldiers and horses he led were battle-hardened Xiliang soldiers, compared with the Qiang people who galloped through the grasslands and mountains and forests, their siege equipment, or siege methods, were much more clever than the Qiang people.

Zhang Liao killed many Han Sui generals, but the rest of the generals were much smarter than the Qiang people, and they dismounted with their swords and rushed into the besieging army, running back and forth non-stop, directing the battle.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to give up this compromise method, and began to command the soldiers to fight in an orderly manner, after several hours of fierce battles, the head of the city changed hands several times, all under the personal leadership of Zhang Liao, repelled several attacks of the enemy.

"Kill!"

The soldiers who had just repelled the enemy's attack had not had time to rest for half a moment, when they heard the shouts of the enemy attacking the city again, and the soldiers mechanically picked up the swords and guns in their hands, bowed down and hid behind the female wall, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Xiangwu City are united, under the continuous onslaught of Han Sui's army, the arrows piled up under the corner of the wall have begun to be scarce, looking at the waves of enemy troops under the city, the eyes of the people are dazed and panicked!

Seeing that the crossbow arrows on the city wall were becoming more and more sparse, Zhou Yi, who was armed with a broadsword, led a hundred and ten guards to gallop down the city, specializing in killing the timid soldiers.

"The whole army is trying its best to attack the city, and the one who dares to take a step back is ruthless!" Under Zhou Yi's strong supervision, more than 20,000 Han Sui troops once again shouted loudly, blew the horn, shook their spirits, and launched another wave of fierce offensives, striving to break the city in one fell swoop.

A sixty or seventy-year-old white-haired old man saw the enemy attacking again, carrying a broken clay pot in his hand, standing on the head of the city and cheering loudly for the young man: "The old and young masters of Xiangwu City, even if you die today, you must stick to the arrival of reinforcements, there are tens of thousands of aliens among the rebels, if the rebels break through the city, Xiangwu City will fall into a place of no return, for the homeland, for the wife and children, for relatives and friends, everyone can only fight to the death!" ”

This old man is the head of a clan, because when he was young, he was kind and charitable, and helped a lot of Li people, and won the support of the civilians of Xiangwu City, although he is now old, but his words still contain a certain persuasiveness, seeing one by one like a fierce god and evil enemy army, without Zhang Liao's orders, they have smashed down with the wood and rolling stones in their hands, and immediately stirred up a rain of blood, smashing Han Suijun screamed for a while.

Zhou Yi was annoyed and ashamed, and made people shout loudly under the city: "If anyone dares to help the state army defend the city, on the day of breaking the gate, he will slaughter Xiangwu City, and no old or young will be left!" ”

The fierce shouts of the enemy immediately strengthened the people's idea of holding the city, and at that moment there was no ambiguity in their hands, and they threw stones and trees one after another, which was even more fierce than the previous resistance.

When the stones were gone, they demolished the bricks and tiles on their houses, and when the sassalwood was finished, they demolished the beams of their houses, and smashed them all at the expense of the equipment that could prevent the rebels from ascending the city, even if they did everything they could!

A ladder was set up on the city wall, and a swift soldier with a shield on his head, his mouth was ringed with a knife, like a monkey climbing a tree, he ran to a place less than half a meter away from the city wall, and suddenly looked up, and saw that the person in front of him was only an old man who was nearly seventy years old, and he couldn't help but show a hideous smile: "Old man, you are looking for death"

took out the ring knife in his mouth and stabbed it violently at Lao Suo's chest, "Poof! With a bang, the steel knife in his hand suddenly pierced Lao Suo's chest, and blood suddenly gushed out.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Lao Suo's mouth, and he grinned, revealing his blood-stained teeth: "Even if the old man wants to die, he will pull you along!" ”

Lao Su didn't feel pain at all, the broken crockpot in his hand was raised high, and smashed on the head of the soldier's pocket, accompanied by the sound of broken porcelain, the soldier's eyes suddenly flashed, and his brain was confused.

Lao Suo let out a wild laugh, tried his best to wrap his arms around the neck of the pawn, and planted them under the city wall together, "bang", Lao Suo and the pawn smashed to the ground together, and even smashed several Han Suijun who were besieging the city, the old man lay on the ground, his breathing began to be short, and he turned his head to look at the soldier who had more air in and less breath, Lao Suo laughed without hesitation: "Thief, are you still bullying my old man?" ”

His laughter instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding siege soldiers, listening to the old man's unbridled laughter, they were furious, and they all stepped forward together, slashing wildly, until the old man was cut beyond recognition, and then spat at the old man a few times, turned his head and joined the siege team.

Seeing that the people were so desperate, Zhang Liao's heart was dripping blood, wiped away the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, raised the big knife in his hand and roared: "Brothers, as soldiers, our duty is to protect the peace of the people. ”

Perhaps under the encouragement of Lao Suo's desperate efforts, the Bingzhou army and the people at the head of the city shouted in unison, regardless of the rain of arrows from the locusts, and pushed down several ladders on the city wall.

Zhou Yi looked at all this coldly, and was about to give the order to let the next wave of siege soldiers attack the city, when he suddenly heard the horn of the army from the direction of the east gate, he clenched his fist, turned a deaf ear to the horn of the army of Oh He Yaoge, and continued to order the soldiers to attack the city, but after attacking half a ring, he suddenly found that the defense of the north gate had doubled, and he lost thousands of people at once.

Seeing the enemy retreat, both the soldiers and the common people cheered in victory, but Zhang Liao showed bitterness on his face, because he knew that this was the first day.

At night, the wind was blowing, Chen Gong was accompanied by Zhang Liao and Li Feng, and slowly climbed the city wall of Xiangwu City, Li Feng raised his torch and looked outside the city, except for the sporadic firelight of the enemy camp in the wilderness, the rest of the place was pitch black. Occasionally, there were a few low howls of wild wolves, which were terrifying to hear, and the sky was like a waning moon, and I suddenly felt lonely and desolate.

An old soldier sat on the ground and whispered, "How can you say that you have no clothes?" With the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same hatred with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? Dress with the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and walk with the son! ”

Its voice is low, and it is inaudible, and in the distance in the mountain stream, an old wolf walks lonely to the cliff, howling under the moon, and there is a trace of sorrow in the voice, and the lone wolf is old, and his heart is sad.
