Chapter 806: Snow, Blood!

With a roar, on the high platform, a trebuchet threw its arm up suddenly, and a black shadow tore through the snow, bringing up a strong wind, cutting through the sky, and smashing the city wall that had just been raised with ice and snow, with a loud bang, ice chips flew, a large section of the ice wall cracked, collapsed, and the ice of the big stone fell down, and small fragments of the size of the fist flew around, banging everywhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoMore than a dozen soldiers hiding under the ice wall suddenly broke their muscles and bones, and their heads were bleeding.

With the landing of this grid of stone bullets, hundreds of stone bullets flew up at the same time, smashing into the broken section of the ice wall, and at the same time, several places in the city, also flew up stone bullets, fell to the snow platform not far from the city, the rumbling sound was endless, one by one stone bullets or embedded in the front wall of the snow platform, deeply embedded in it, the trebuchet on the snow platform swayed, and some fell on the snow platform, the snow platform that was frozen solid rebounded the stone bullets, jumping forward all the way, until the snow platform fell, where it passed, blood stained. Some even hit the trebuchet directly, smashing the huge trebuchet to the ground, falling down a snow platform nearly 20 meters high, shattering.

As the two sides fired, countless infantry under the city rushed up with shouts, some rushed to the city along the siege road, and the other part carried the ladder and pushed the siege vehicle, and the front of the huge iron-clad pointed wooden stake Meng rushed to the car, and came with his life.

The drums on the city rumbled, and rows of soldiers rushed to the city, holding a bow in their hands, stretching their bows and arrows, shooting downward, and immediately retreating after shooting an arrow, and the second row behind them immediately rushed up, and the two rows of archers alternated, constantly shooting sharp arrows downward, and there were so many people besieging the city that there was almost no need to aim, and the responsibility of the soldiers was only to shoot the sharp arrows in their hands.

Compared with shooting sharp arrows, the soldiers have more energy to dodge the stone bullets falling from the sky or the gravel and ice that bounce off after being hit by the stone bullets, although the body is well-armoured, but being hit by these high-speed guys is not fun, if you are unlucky and hit the front door, then you can only stretch your legs.

Wu Yubo stood at the head of the city, his command was responsible for the north of the city, after the mixing, Wu Yubo originally became the deputy commander of a battalion, but in the first battle of the previous year, his Dingzhou boss was shot by an eight-bull crossbow arrow, and his body was broken in two, and he became the commander of this battalion.

After almost a month of fighting, the Luzhou soldiers grew rapidly in the flames of war, although the price paid was very large, but in comparison, Wu Yubo was more willing to command the current army as fierce as a wolf.

A series of negative emotions such as cowardice, cowardice, fear of death, and fear of war disappeared completely in the bloody battle, in the blood splashing this, between the severed limbs flying, in the desperate situation of either you die or I die, and some are just ruthless and aggressive.

The Luzhou soldiers learned to stab the spears in their hands without blinking their eyes in the face of the slashing steel knives, learned to sit in pools of blood on the ground while panting for breath while laughing at the clumsiness of their companions in the interval between battles, learned to sit on top of the enemy's corpse and eat the food sent by the man, and after eating, they wiped the grease off their hands on the enemy's corpse, and learned to carefully look for a part of their companion's missing body among the mutilated corpses on the ground, and then carefully put them together. There is a stretcher or a bed of sheets to carry down.

Elite soldiers have always been fought, Wu Yubo remembered Li Dashuai's words relayed by Jin Chao, and said in his heart that this is indeed a wise saying, if you don't go to the battlefield, you won't be in a desperate situation, even if the Luzhou soldiers are trained for a lifetime, they don't want to reach the point in front of them.

The enemy's attack in the past few days has been unexpectedly fierce, it seems that the harsh winter has seriously affected the other party, they want to fight quickly, Wu Yubo showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, there are still more than 6,000 troops in the city, if you want to fight down, the other party will have to pay at least several times the casualties, can they, can they afford it?

Having just repelled a wave of enemy attacks, the soldiers were nervously clearing the city, the bodies of the enemy were thrown down the city, and the bodies of their companions were carefully carried to the bottom of the city. From time to time, there would be a low sobbing sound or two, which must have been a familiar companion killed in battle, and occasionally there would be a cry of surprise, "Still alive, still angry, doctor, doctor!" "Along with the shouting, there is always the sound of hurried footsteps and running, as well as the sound of excited chatter.

Taking advantage of the interval between battles, the soldiers seized the time to recover their strength, and the people who fled into the city immediately carried a load of ice and snow to the city, slapped the snow on the battlements with shovels, and then poured water to repair the ice wall that had just been broken, although the next time the battle began, these frozen walls were not strong at all could not withstand the blows of trebuchets at all, nor could they withstand the impact of the crossbows, but as long as they could still play a certain blocking role, they could reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

The enemy rushed up again, and Wu Yubo pulled out the long knife with coagulated blood that he had inserted at his feet, and shouted, "Get ready to fight!" ”

"Archers! Above! ”

"Spearmen, prepare!"

"Slinger, up!"

"Cymbals, push those damn ladders away for me, and fall to death those southern barbarians!"

With Wu Yubo's order, a burst of earth-shattering shouts immediately sounded in the city.

The impact of the stone bullets, the impact of the rushing cars, the walls kept shaking slightly, and it seemed that it could fall down at any moment, but it seemed that it would always stand there.

The heavy snow that fell a few days ago made this place extremely clean, but now, this place is still a world of blood, but unfortunately, this blood is not the other snow.

Lan Yu looked at the fierce battle above the city, although every time he attacked, the southern army could attack the city, but that's all, until now, the southern army has not been able to really stand on the top of the city, every time he climbed the city, except for leaving a pile of corpses, nothing was gained.

The snow is still falling, the wind is still blowing, the cold weather can not hide the murderous aura of the sky, at this time, the two sides have really killed the red eye, the snow platform is extending to the direction of the city every day, in the fierce offensive and defensive battle, Lan Yu did not forget to advance the snow platform step by step, even if it is to pave this road all the way with blood, when the snow platform is close to the city head, the southern army can use the superior forces to break through to the city head, encircle and annihilate the defenders in the city.

"How many days will it take to pile the snow platform to the top of the city?" Sapphire asked.

Xu Siyu said: "At least ten days, General Lan, the price is too great." The cavalry of the Lü soldiers had approached our camp several times, and if we were not careful, we would be subjected to their calculations. ”

"The opponent still has no intention of retreating?" Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said. 'Attack more and put more pressure on them. Regardless of casualties, advance to the snow platform. ”

In the city, Xu Ji and Jin Chao are also facing a more difficult choice, the two generals know that if Xuetai advances to the head of the city, it will be the time when Yangquan City is broken, and Yangquan City will be broken, and Weizhou City will lose its last gateway and directly face the opponent's attack.

And until this time, Tian Feng, who was in Weizhou City, did not give them an order to retreat, and the absence of an order meant that they had to continue to hold on. How many days can we keep it?

The casualty rate of the Yangquan defenders has been close to half, and such a large casualty rate has long exceeded the limit that a force can bear, and the current Yangquan is like a string that is about to be bandaged.

"Make the last preparations, prepare for street fighting, if Xuetai advances to the city, we will abandon the hard defense at the city, retreat into the city, use the streets to start street fighting, and make the last resistance, until the last step of the battle." Xu Jidao.

Jin Chao nodded, it was not the first time he had encountered such a desperate situation.

"The city is ready for street fighting, and barricades have begun to be built on all the streets. With crossbow arrows and scorpion cannons, we can resist for a while even if the enemy breaks the city. ”

Weizhou City, Tian Feng is like sitting on pins and needles, Yangquan's predicament is clear to him, but the longer he resists in Yangquan, the more the opponent's will will collapse, so as to attract more southern troops into Weizhou earlier, the southern army reinforcements do not enter Weizhou, Yangquan can not retreat, watching the days pass day by day, the southern army reinforcements still have no news of marching, and Yangquan's casualties are increasing day by day, and it is at the last moment, which makes Tian Feng undecided, whether to withdraw from the Yangquan defenders first, the opponent let go of a mouth, Obviously, it was to force the defenders of Yangquan to abandon the city on their own initiative, and if they retreated, they could save some of their strength.

Leaning over and staring at the sand table in front of him, a small red flag near Yangquan seemed so lonely. And at the junction of Weizhou and Luzhou, a small red flag represents a large number of Li Qingfu's troops here, at this time when preparing for a counterattack, Lu Dalin's group, this sand table is still top secret, except for Tian Feng, there are only a handful of people in the entire Weizhou City who know about it.

Liu Yuan, the governor of Weizhou, was full of joy and crashed into the room, "General Tian, great joy, great joy!" Seeing Liu Yuan's excited face flushing, Tian Feng's heart moved, "The southern army has moved, which army?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "It's moving, it's moving, it's a big move, the Supervision Yuan has sent an urgent message, and the Hu Zehui troops in Liaozhou have a total of more than 100,000 people, advancing in two ways, one way to land battles, and the other way to use sleds to go to the Tuojiang River, and they are rapidly advancing towards Weizhou." ”

Tian Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and celebrated with Liu Yuan. "Someone is coming, hurry Yangquan Xu Jinchao, give up Yangquan, and the whole army retreats."

"Order Lu Dabing's headquarters to cover the retreat of the Yangquan defenders and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to pursue and kill."

"Order all the troops in Weizhou, prepare for battle!"

"Inform General Lu that the fish has taken the bait."

After giving a series of orders, Tian Feng turned to Liu Yuan with a smile, "Liu Zhizhou, let's have two drinks?" ”

Liu Yuan looked at Tian Feng, "But there is also not very good news, General Tian." ”

Tian Feng was stunned, "What news?" ”

"Wu Gui is missing!"

Wu Gui! Tian Feng was taken aback, Wu Gui was also in Yangquan, but these days, Yangquan has not sent news that Wu Gui has a problem, Wu Gui's identity is extraordinary, he is the younger brother of Li Qing's favorite concubine Chang Bao'er, if something happens?

Tian Feng's joy was immediately half extinguished.

"Do you want to report to Dingzhou?" Liu Yuan hesitated.

Tian Feng shook his head, "I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, how can I report it?" ”

"But if he has any accidents, Concubine Chang will blame him in the future?" Liu Yuandao.

Tian Feng gritted his teeth, "Wu Gui is a soldier, and it is also an honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield, and the lord will not blame us." Tian Feng only said that the handsome man would not blame, but did not say Chang Bao'er, naturally knowing that if Wu Guizhen died, Concubine Chang would definitely hate them.
