Chapter 59: Defending the City Together

Someone raised their arms and shouted these words were immediately echoed by the people, and everyone was working hard in the city.

"Boom" came again, and the stones that fell down killed people. But from his posture, it can be seen that his hands are clenched forward, and his eyes are still fierce.

"Shoot!" Regardless of their own safety, the bird-gunners at the head of the city shot at the Qing soldiers below the city, firing indiscriminately, and soon left behind a large number of corpses.

The stones under the city fell like rain, and never stopped. Qing Bing was either hit in the head, or in the foot, or he was hit in the chest and fell on the spot.

In the city, Qin Huaiyu had already ordered Gu Yanwu to continue to mobilize, all the people had to go to the city to defend the city, life and death were between the first line, and only everyone in the same boat could get through this difficulty.

Someone was running, and he shouted, "Let's go up to the city!" We want to live and die with Lingbao! "That's right! Go to town! The people screamed, and they ran after him. Whether it's a man or a woman, they all come up together.

At this time, the fierce battle in the city was raging. With a "snap", ladders were raised to the city wall. The Qing soldiers pinned the knife to their waists and climbed the ladder forward.

"Thorn!" The guards in the city stabbed out with their spears, and one of the soldiers was shot in the chest, and he fell down while holding his chest. The Qing soldiers below him shrank their heads, and the fallen Qing soldiers fell from his side. The Qing soldiers below hurriedly got out of the way, and with a "bang", the corpse fell to the ground.

The Qing soldiers under the ground stepped on the ladder as soon as they stepped on the corpses of their comrades.

Qing Bing climbed to the top of the ladder, and because of the lesson of the previous one, he naturally learned well. He's biased. Just let a shot go. Then he went up with a sword, and was in the middle of the guard.

The guard's eyes widened, and he grabbed the Qing soldier's neck with his hand, and his body swooped out of the low wall, knocking the Qing soldier off the city by the way.

"Up! Above! Fast! Hurry up! One of the Qing generals below was shouting in Manchu and waving his hands at the same time.

"Look at me shooting this kid!" The guard had already seen the Qing general, and he aimed at the Qing general, squinting one eye. Say shoot and shoot.

"Bang", an accurate headshot, and the brain also sprayed the face of the Qing soldier next to the Qing general, and the Qing soldier was stunned on the ground, and then watched the Qing general's body slowly fall to the ground.

"Uh-ah" this fright, it's amazing! He panicked, but he didn't expect to hit the long ladder not far from him.

The long ladder was hit, and naturally it shook, and a Qing soldier at the top of the long ladder saw that he could climb to the top of the city, because the shaking of the ladder threw him down.

"Smack". The ladder is slippery and slippery, and the length is no longer enough to reach the battlement. Suddenly, a Qing soldier in the middle couldn't hold on to the ladder. He hit the city wall headlong, his head broke and he was bleeding, he was killed on the spot, and his body fell.

"Here we are!" A great crowd of the people came up, and they all went up to the head of the city to help the defenders. There are men and women, old and young.

"Son! Watch Daddy avenge you! An old man with a white beard actually accomplished the impossible task, he picked up a heavy stone, and then he smashed it down at the Qing soldiers below, and killed the Qing soldiers.

At the same time, a woman also ran up, and she also shouted: "Xianggong! I've avenged you! She also lifted a stone and threw it down, but her crosshair was not enough, but the Qing soldier cleverly flashed to the other side of the ladder, and let it go, and he laughed: "What a fool! Even the women have come up! Wait for Lao Tzu to go up and ride you well! ”

Although the woman couldn't understand Manchu, she could tell from the squinting appearance of the Qing soldiers that the Qing soldiers were doing what obscene thoughts they were doing.

The Qing soldiers have arrived! She was about to climb the city, her eyes were staring at the woman with lust, but the woman took out the scissors from her arms, she would not give the Qing soldiers a chance to climb the city.

"Porphyry", the scissors were sent into the chest of the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers were caught off guard, although it was not fatal, but it was too sudden.

No, he sat on the ladder as soon as he sat on the ladder, and he sat on the bar of the ladder step by step, and kept falling. "Ahh No! And a Qing soldier below him saw his comrades sitting down, he was startled, and it was too late to flash.

"Bang", a good one used a hot face to stick to the cold buttocks, and the two fell together, and a long ladder was ruined. And the Qing soldiers, who had just climbed the ladder below and were only at the fifth level, jumped away as soon as they jumped.

With a "snap", the Qing soldiers sitting on the top with scissors fell to the ground together, both of them died, and the ladder was divided into two crossbars, and it was difficult for you to climb up.

The guards came, one of them kicked at the two crossbars, one of the crossbars jumped up, and with a "snap", it hit the head of a Qing soldier, and the Qing soldier fainted and fell to the ground on the spot.

When the other crossbar fell, it also knocked down another long ladder, and the soldiers on the long ladder also fell down with it.

The Qing soldiers under the city began to shoot, and the woman with scissors was unfortunately hit by an arrow, and she fell in a pool of blood.

She faced the blue sky and the white sun, blood overflowed from her mouth, and said, "Husband...... I'm coming, and I'm never separated from you......"

And an old man with a cane also came up, don't look at him faltering, but his eyes were sharp, he was hit by two arrows in his body, he also approached the battlement, he held the cane, and made a gesture to fight the soldiers, but the last arrow hit him in the forehead, he was lying on the battlement, and could not move again.

"Xiu Xiu Xiu" Another wave of arrow rain, and the two maids in front of Qin Huaiyu fell from arrows. Qin Huaiyu watched the tragic death of the maid who had waited for her, with tears in her eyes, but she still didn't move.

Delith also smiled at her, the two hands were clasped together, and the flying arrows were whistling in their ears, and they had to continue to sit at the head of the city, telling the creatures of the city that if everyone wants to live and continue to live happily, they must take up arms and resist to the end and defend their homeland!

"Madame Protection!" Some soldiers came with shields, and they built a copper wall in front of Qin Huaiyu. Their faces were solemn, and they were glancing at each other at the same time, in exchange, signaling that they would all swear to protect Qin Huaiyu to the death.

One soldier after another fell, but someone would follow, even if he sacrificed himself, he would not let the respected lady in his heart be hurt in the slightest.

He Luohui commanded the army to attack wave after wave, but they were all repulsed, and the most powerful thing about Lingbao was not the solidity of the city, but the unity of the people, which was the reason why the powerful Qing army felt powerless.

The Qing army has retreated, and they will continue to attack again tomorrow, after all, they know that time is precious, and whoever can survive the most will be the victor after the worst!

Zhou Yuji came to Qin Huaiyu and Dai Lisi, and saw that the two beauties were already disgraced, but the smiles on their faces were still bright and charming.

"Madame......" Zhou Yuji persuaded: "Please don't go back to the city tomorrow two ladies!" Let's go back to the garrison yamen! The last general will definitely repel the attack of the Qing army! No matter how many times these bitches have been raised, I will fight them off as many times! ”

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, "General Zhou, the soldiers are fighting bloodily, and even the people in the city have come up to defend the city regardless of life and death, how can I stay in the garrison yamen?" ”

Delith also said, "Yes! Tomorrow, we'll be up to the city! Trust you! With General Zhou here, we are safe! ”

"Alas!" Zhou Yuji also knew that the reason why the two ladies stayed in the city was to inspire the soldiers, and Zhang Biwu was facing life and death, and Zhang Biwu was not here, so Qin Huaiyu had to take the risk himself, even if he died, he had to keep the most hope for his husband.

Zhou Yuji couldn't help but think of his wife, when Li Zicheng attacked Ningwu, didn't his wife also help him defend the city with the maids? Mrs. archery is like a god, an arrow shoots a thief, the most helpless is outnumbered, the defeat has been decided, she led a group of maids to self-immolate in the arrow tower, can be described as a heroic death.

Zhou Yuji wiped his tears, he secretly decided in his heart that he would never let his wife's tragedy repeat itself on Qin Huaiyu and Dai Lisi.

Qin Huaiyu didn't go back to rest, she wanted to patrol the city with Dai Lisi, so that people could see that they were still there, and they were still guarding the city with the army and civilians.

Although the sun was setting, people were still toiling at the lights, demolishing houses, and cutting wood with knives. This will allow you to have a large number of stones to go up to the city to smash the mobs, and a large number of arrows to kill the enemy.

As for the walls of the old earthen houses, there are people sharpening the gun, catching it, and wrapping it so that they can provide ammunition for the birds. Sand and gravel and so on are also constantly pretending to be ammunition.

Many people, young and old, men and women, know that tomorrow will be another tough battle, and they must take concrete actions to support them.

There are also people who pile up the corpses of the Qing soldiers on the head of the city to the damaged part of the city wall, and the corpses of other soldiers or civilians are carried to the other side and put away, if the war is stalemate for a long time, then these corpses of their own side must also be used to pile up the gap of the real city wall, which is the most helpless move, and I don't want to do it.

He Luo would look at Lingbao City from afar, and when he saw the Lingbao starlight, he knew that they were still picking up the lights to prepare for the next day's defense.

"Alas!" He Luohui couldn't help but sigh and said, "The regent didn't want to be so impulsive and pour all his strength into destroying Zhang Biwu!" However, because Zhang Biwu entered Fengyang to worship the emperor's mausoleum, Prince Yu couldn't hold back his rashness and had to go all out! I'm really worried about Shaanxi!
