"General beware!" One of the generals beside him roared and shoved Oda aside with a sharp push. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the general was directly pierced by the crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow was castrated, and it pierced several guards holding flags in a row before stopping.

Oda Yukinobu looked at the few people who were strung into sugar gourds, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out behind his back, just a little bit, he was pierced by a crossbow arrow, and his face, which had been gloomy, finally changed a little, and a panicked light flashed in his eyes.

"Withdraw! Fall back! The order went down, and the whole army retreated ten miles! Oda Yukinobu immediately screamed in shock.

As the horns sounded like a mournful roar, those attacking Dongying Wokou suddenly began to retreat like a tide.

In this battle, the Tang army and the Silla army resisted the Dongying army eight times to attack the city, and the entire snowfield was stained red with blood, and even the moat was filled with the corpses of frozen Dongying pirates.

All the defenders were exhausted, and although the Dongying army began to retreat, they did not let up because of this, and under the command of Li Canghai, they began to repair the gap that had been blasted by the boulders.

In the next few days, the Dongying army launched a fierce siege on Jincheng repeatedly, and Li Canghai and a group of soldiers rushed back and forth to support the four city gates all day long, and in this way, they held out for more than half a month.

In the past half month, the weather has already become clear, and the army on the left side of Dongying has sent them grain and grass, and increased the number of troops by 20,000, and the offensive of the Dongying army has become more fierce.

The walls of Jincheng have been dilapidated, there are gaps everywhere, and the defenders in the city have been rapidly reduced, and in half a month, half of the 30,000 defenders have been killed.

However, the casualties of Dongying were even more severe, the original more than 40,000 people, during the siege of the city in this half month, more than 30,000 people died, if it were not for the left army to send them additional manpower, Oda Yukinobu really did not have the heart to fight again.

On this day, Oda Yukinobu prepared to gather 30,000 men and horses to carry out a final attack on Jincheng, which had long since lost its defense, and vowed to conquer Jincheng in one fell swoop.

Above the gate of Jincheng, a group of bloody, exhausted soldiers leaned against the battlements and took advantage of this gap to nap.

These people have survived from the sea of corpses and blood, they cherish the time in front of them more than anyone else, and no one knows if they will be able to see the rising sun tomorrow again, but they have no regrets.

Behind them were the defenceless people, the old men and their young children.

Whether it is a Tang Dynasty soldier or a Silla soldier, they have never regretted what they have done.

Li Canghai, who looked tired, leaned against the battlements, and next to him sat Di Qing, who was also exhausted and covered in blood, and the two leaned on each other, looking at the peaks in the distance.

"Canghai, do you think we're going to die here?" Di Qing asked tiredly.

"Qing'er, are you afraid?" Li Canghai asked in a low voice.

Di Qing looked up at him and said seriously, "I'm not afraid!" As long as I can be with you, it is death, and I am not afraid! ”

Li Canghai's nose was sour, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, he helped Di Qing brush his messy hair with his hand, and then hugged Di Qing tightly in his arms.

Two lines of tears slipped silently, sliding from his face to Di Qing's forehead.

"Canghai, are you crying?" Di Qing touched the tears on her forehead and said in shock.

In her impression, Li Canghai had never shed tears, but now he shed tears, which made Di Qing suddenly feel a little flustered.

"Qing'er, I really shouldn't have brought you here......." Li Canghai sighed, full of self-reproach.

Di Qing raised her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "Fool, I have never blamed you. You are the husband I recognize, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, I will follow you. ”

Hearing this, Li Canghai's throat suddenly seemed to be blocked, his eyes were moist, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he could only hug Di Qing tightly.

"No, no! The Dongying army has begun to attack the city again! At this time, Li Yu, who was wearing armor, carried a sharp sword, and Gao Xianzhi hurriedly walked over, shouting loudly as they walked.

Although Li Yu is a descendant of the Tang royal family and has a noble status, when he saw so many soldiers fighting bloodily, he also put on armor, picked up weapons, and came to defend the city in person.

Gao Xianzhi, whose arm was injured and whose right hand was tied to his chest, came to Li Canghai with a sword in his left hand and said, "Marshal, the Dongying army is about to attack the city again!" ”

Li Canghai struggled to stand up, and Li Yu hurriedly walked over and held him up.

"General Gao, how many defenders do we have? How many arrows are left? Li Canghai asked tiredly.

Looking at Li Canghai's appearance, Gao Xianzhi felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, if it weren't for Li Canghai, how could he hold on to Jincheng for half a month under the fierce attack of the Dongying army?

In the past half a month, Li Canghai arranged his troops and went into battle to kill the enemy, which can be said to be working day and night, and Gao Xianzhi really couldn't bear it.

"Back to the marshal, we still have more than 8,000 soldiers...... As for the bow and arrow, there were less than two thousand. Gao Xianzhi said in a low voice.

"Eight thousand...... Now we are dead, there are still more than 30,000 people in Dongying! Li Yu said a little deflated.

Li Canghai closed his eyes, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice: "General Gao, you go and gather all the soldiers here." ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, then bowed and left.

After a stick of incense, more than 8,000 defenders gathered in the southern city.

On the city wall, the corners of Li Canghai's eyes were moist, he let out a long breath, and then said: "The Dongying army is about to start attacking the city again, and the number of the Dongying army is as many as 30,000 this time!" I just want to ask you, are you afraid? ”

Everyone stared at him, but no one spoke.

"I don't know what you joined the army for? Is it to have enough to eat? Or is it not bullied? Or maybe there's something else. But as long as you enter the barracks, you are a soldier who defends your home and country! Look behind you, that is where you were born, where your loved ones are, where you have your home! Do you want to see your loved ones die tragically under the butcher's knife of the Toei Woko? Li Canghai said angrily.

"I don't want to!" Among the defenders, a shout suddenly appeared, and immediately, countless identical voices suddenly rang out one after another.

"Good!" Li Canghai shouted, and then said solemnly: "Then I'll ask you again, you, terrible death?!" ”

"Don't be afraid !!"

"Are you willing to give your lives for the sake of your homeland and relatives behind you?"

"Willing to !!"

The 8,000 defenders clenched their fists and shouted in unison.

"For the soldiers, when the battle is dead on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, this is our glory! Even if you fight to the death, you must hold the city! God bless my emperor, Tang Yongchang! Li Canghai said solemnly. (To be continued.) )
