Chapter Twenty-Three: The Enemy Raids the Northern City
The genius was slightly bright, and before the northern city had recovered from last night's defeat, it ushered in another wave of attacks from the enemy country.
Taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, the enemy suddenly launched a rapid march to siege the city, and the defenders of the northern city were caught off guard, and several times they were about to be attacked by the enemy.
Baili Xing stayed awake all night because of last night's failure, and now he only hears the sound of siege outside the city.
"Your Highness, the enemy army has come to attack the city. "A guard came to report.
"How's the battle going?" asked Baili Xing anxiously.
"The enemy attacked suddenly, and our army was caught off guard, and several times it was almost about to be attacked on the city wall, and the battle situation was very critical. "There is another reason why the guards dare not say it, and that is that our army has suffered a new defeat and its morale is low.
"Ah?!" Baili Xing was stunned for a moment, and thought: "This time I set out for the first time, is it going to be defeated like this, no, we can't give up resistance, we still have hope." ”
"Let's go, take a look at the walls. Baili Xing said and took a big stride towards the city wall.
When I arrived at the city wall, I saw that General Li was already directing the defense. At this time, an enemy soldier climbed the city wall, and Baili Xing immediately pulled out his saber and stabbed it
Kill the enemy soldiers. General Li turned around and saw Baili Xing, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness is heroic." ”
"General Li, what's the situation?"
"Your Highness, although the war is dangerous now, it is still not a problem to defend the city wall. ”
At this moment, a herald rushed in, "Report, General, the south gate is under attack." ”
"The enemy army has gone around to the rear to attack the south gate, and the south gate garrison is limited to only more than 300 people, so we must hurry to reinforcements. General Li said anxiously
"General Li, you guard the north gate, and I will lead two hundred sergeants to support. As he spoke, he turned and went down the city wall.
"Your Highness Lao, Your Highness be careful. General Li instructed behind him.
Baili Xing mobilized 200 men and horses and rushed towards the south gate, because the enemy army had already begun to attack the city, and many civilians were on the city wall to assist in the defense. The streets of the city were deserted.
On the way to the emergency reinforcement of the Baili Star Army, five or six burning earthen carts were suddenly pushed out of the alleys on both sides, and the front became a raging sea of fire, blocking the road to the south gate for a while, and more than a dozen archers appeared on the roofs on both sides, bending their bows and arrows, and shooting indiscriminately at the bottom of the house, and more than ten sergeants fell to the ground with arrows in a moment.
"Maintain the formation, set up the shield!" At this time, the sergeant major was in danger, and the soldiers finally stabilized their bodies under the shield.
"Commandos go up to the house. At the sergeant's command, a group of sergeants jumped onto the roof with their shields, and some of the arrows fell again.
"Push away the obstacles ahead. Baili Xing ordered
Dozens of sergeants rushed forward with spears in hand, hoping to use their spears to push the train away.
"Whoosh" There was a sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air, and several spear sergeants fell to the ground. Then more than a dozen black-clothed men, armed with scimitars and daggers, jumped out of the shadows, and their skills were very agile.
Baili Xing drew his saber and stepped forward to fight a man in black who looked like a leader.
"You think you can stop us with a few people like you. Baili Xing brandished a long knife and attacked the man in black.
"Hehe~ Second Highness, that's right, but I just need to hold His Highness for a while, under General Lin's deployment in the past few years, the northern city and even your Baili country are already in the bag, I advise the Second Highness to surrender as soon as possible, so as not to increase unnecessary casualties." "The black-clothed leader fought and retreated, and did not fight with Bailixing.
"Don't think about it!" Baili Xing was anxious, if he delayed like this, the south gate would definitely not be protected, but he was entangled by this black-clothed leader and it was difficult to get out, and he was helpless for a while.
When Baili Xing was in a hurry, the south gate gate had been opened by black-clothed spies, and a white horse general led hundreds of light horsemen to enter, and wherever he passed, he was invincible.
When the soldiers guarding the south gate saw that the city gate was broken, their fighting spirit was furious, and they were defeated and retreated, and they could not form an army.
Soon, after General Baima led a large army to occupy the south gate, he went straight to the place of Baili Xing.
Baili Xing saw the man on the white horse from a distance, very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Ming Lao was happy, "It turned out to be Xiaolinzi, among those few people, this kid is treacherous, and it is not enough for Bailixing to meet him." ”
The sergeant major forced away the black-clothed leader and protected Baili Xing behind him, "Your Highness, the south gate has been broken, and the enemy army has entered the city, quickly return to the north gate and find General Li to break out of the city together." ”
Surrounded by the guards, Baili Xing retreated towards the north gate.
