Chapter 530: A dilemma
Meng Zhezhu said with a solemn face: "We sent all the way to Hebai Village to relieve the siege for her, the main force can only go to take Yaozhou, as long as we take Yaozhou, Hebai Village will naturally have no worries, if we delay for a moment longer, our whole clan may ...... In the midst of an even greater crisis! ”
Meng Zhizhu turned to Xun'er and said sincerely: "I like Xun'er very much, I can give up my life for her." But now is not the time to show my personal bravery, I am the head of the clan and I am responsible for the whole clan! If Xun'er had a good ......, as her man, I would use Yun Hao and Wen Xuan's heads to pay for her life! ”
Kaoru daxiao got up and said, "That's good! This is a competent toast! ”
Xun Qi slowly stood up, looked at the leaders majestically, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Hao and Yun Xuan are plotting against our territory and people, Huang Jingrong, that corrupt official is more greedy than jackals, he asked me for a life-size golden Buddha when he was in Wangzhou, what do you think we will get if we beg now?"
Do you think that if you don't satisfy their appetite, they will agree to make peace with us? Forbearance will not lead to peace, it will only make their greed and ambition more difficult to satisfy. The fish can't shear wool on its body, we have nothing to talk about with corrupt officials like Huang Jingrong, and we have nothing to talk about with arrogant people like Wen Hao and Yun Xuan!
I am responsible for this land left by my ancestors and all the people who sustain me in this land! Kaoru is my most beloved daughter and the wife of Oritake Toast, but for the sake of our territory and people, I can only put her safety at risk, and Oritake Toast would rather give up this opportunity!
I will lead you back to Yaozhou City with Orizhu Toast, and beat them and fear them, so that they will no longer dare to see us as lambs to be slaughtered at will! In this battle, we have to be like time, there is no retreat, and there are those who dare to retreat and make peace, there are so many! ”
Pull out the sheath during the fumigation period. Slash with a knife. In front of him, a few wooden cases were cut off with a "click".
Meng Zhezhu also stood up, his figure was tall and mighty, and when he stood up, his head almost reached the roof of the shed. Meng Zhezhu grabbed the hilt of the knife and shouted in a deep voice: "Immediately cut down trees, make siege equipment such as ladders and smashing wood, collect poison, quench arrows, and sharpen bamboo arrows." This battle. Only win, not defeat! ”
The big people in the tent knelt down on one knee, touched their chests with their hands, and said in unison: "Follow the orders of Lord Tusi, there is no advance or retreat, there is victory and no defeat!" “
The sound in the tent had a majestic momentum, and the soldiers patrolling in the distance vaguely heard something, and they all looked over to the tent. The horses tied to the outside of the tent seemed to feel the tragic atmosphere in the voices of the toasters and leaders, and they raised their heads and neighed.
The leaders got out of their tents one after another, and rushed back to their camps with enthusiasm, preparing to launch a surprise counterattack on Yaozhou City. There are only two people left in the tent, Xun Qi and Meng Zhezhu.
Kaoru's angry appearance disappeared and became calm and composed, and after a while, he whispered, "If this battle is lost." The capital for our negotiations with the imperial court will no longer exist. Our own lives can be gambled. The survival of the whole clan cannot be gambled! ”
"I understand!"
Meng Zhizhu walked up to him. Looking out side by side, with a calmness on his face that did not match his roughness: "From the day we became leaders, we no longer lived only for ourselves and our families. If this battle fails, we can only ask for help from Nanzhao and Tubo. ”
Kaoru frowned and said, "I plan to do the same, but if we fail, we'd better ask Nanzhao for help first." The king of Nanzhao will ask us for money, but he will not covet our territory, but the Tibetan will not. Once they are attached to Tibet, they will be even more unbearable than Datang! ”
Meng Zhizhu nodded heavily, exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "Let's look at the situation, let's finish this battle first!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Be careful!"
Yang Fan pounced on him, and pushed Xun'er to the ground, and a huge crossbow arrow like a spear whistled past, grazing Xun'er's body and flying over, the cobble-thick crossbow arrow hit a wooden stake, and the thick wooden stake with the mouth of the bowl broke in response, and the exploded sawdust flew everywhere.
The strong wind blew on his face, and he still felt pain, remembering that he was only going to be knocked down a little slower, and he was about to be pierced by the big crossbow, and Xun'er's little face turned pale with fright.
Huang Jingrong personally rushed to Hebai Village, not only did he come, but even Wen Hao and Yun Xuan also came. They did not bring the imperial reinforcements from Wangzhou and Rongzhou, but borrowed bed crossbows from them. How could the fragile fortifications of Hebai Village be a blow in the face of such a sharp weapon.
Fortunately, the armed forces of Yaozhou are actually the private armies of Wen Hao and Yun Xuan, and the imperial court named them the governor and the assassin history, which is equivalent to letting the local government in military and political affairs, and the imperial court is not responsible for their weapons and equipment, and the heavy weapons carried by the imperial court soldiers and horses who came to help from afar are very limited, there are a total of twelve bed crossbows, only three of them are lent, and the crossbow arrows given to them are also limited, otherwise the Hebai village would have been captured long ago.
Rao is like this, these three bed crossbows still pose a huge threat to the Hebai village, especially when Huang Jingrong came, he almost brought the main forces of Wen Hao and Yun Xuan, they attacked the cottage day and night, and with the consumption of soldiers alone, the defense on the village became weaker and weaker.
A day ago, the head of the Xun period suddenly sent a support army, about 1,500 people, it stands to reason that this number of soldiers and horses is enough to relieve the siege for them, at least to break through the army of the surrounding mountain, strengthen the defense in the village, but Huang Jingrong after the offensive was frustrated, he actually personally led the troops to come, just to meet this support army, the reinforcements suffered heavy losses, and failed to rush in.
In fact, it is fortunate that they did not rush in, otherwise now that so many soldiers and horses are trapped outside, and more than a thousand people rush inside, the drinking water on the mountain will be immediately gone. In fact, there is no longer enough drinking water in the mountains, and now it has begun to be supplied in limited quantities.
Fortunately, Huang Jingrong, Yun Hao and others didn't know anything about the lack of water on the village, otherwise they wouldn't have to attack the mountain so fiercely regardless of sacrifice, as long as they surrounded it for two more days, the cottage would collapse without a fight.
The bed crossbow shot violently, suppressing the defenders on the wall, unable to raise their heads, and then Wen Hao and Yun Xuan's native soldiers attacked the mountain like a group of soldiers.
After the long-range shooting of arrows and stone projectiles, it is a hand-to-hand handover. In the shadow of the sword and sword, people kept falling, and there were many corpses lying on the wall of the wall, which was in a state of semi-collapse, and it was too late to clean up, and some of the corpses had been hanging there for two or three days, and they were exposed to the scorching sun and emitted a disgusting stench.
War is brutal. The battle has been fought until now. Everyone was numb, someone around them had lost their lives, and the people next to them were indifferent. A cold arrow flew by, piercing a person's throat, Yang Fan didn't even bother to look at him, but just pushed the person who had not yet lost his breath away, and rushed up with a gun to block the gap he left behind.
Hebai Village is almost unstoppable!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Gao Qingshan used a curled steel knife to knock a native soldier who rushed up to the wall. Panting and said to Yang Fan: "Lord Toast must be in big trouble, otherwise he will definitely bring someone to rescue us in person, Miss Xun'er is here, Lord Toast will not care!" ”
Yang Fan shook his gun, picked the two local soldiers off the wall, and said in a deep voice: "I can't take care of these things." This group of enemies may still be able to resist, and when they come again, I am afraid that this line of defense will not be able to hold, and the second pass has been reinforced, after this battle, we will take the initiative to withdraw to the second line of defense and continue to hold on!
Gao Qingshan gritted his teeth and said: "Women and children have been reinforcing and building in the rear day and night, and now they can't change any new tricks to repel this group of enemies." Let's withdraw! ”
This fierce battle lasted for more than an hour. Yang Fan and others were gradually losing their support, and the gong of "Dangdangdang" suddenly sounded at the foot of the mountain. Wen Haoming Jin withdrew his troops.
The piercing sound of the gong sounded like a heavenly sound in the ears of the warring parties, and the native soldiers retreated like a tide, and the people on the stockade suddenly relaxed, and after the tension passed, they felt that a trace of strength in their bodies had been drained.
Many immediately collapsed to the ground, not caring that the corpses of their partners and enemies were still pressed under them, that the wounds on their bodies were bleeding, and that they did not want to do anything but lie down for a while, for a little longer. The women, the elderly, and the children rushed up to the wall, fed them water, and helped them to bandage their wounds, and even children of several years old were now able to do it skillfully.
Yang Fan's current image is not much better than others, he looks like an unkempt beggar, with a scruffy beard, and his eyes are bloodshot because of lack of sleep.
Miss Kaoru has nothing to do with beauty now, and her beautiful crescent-shaped headdress has long since fallen somewhere, and her fluffy hair is like a chicken nest, gray and dusty. The original white and delicate face was blackened by soot, and the shirt was wrinkled and no longer able to see its original color, and there were many black and red blood stains on it.
As soon as the native soldiers who attacked the stockade retreated, she fell down like the men who stuck to the wall, lying on her back, unladylike.
"Hey, your posture...... It's not pretty, close your legs! ”
Yang Fan is so tired and weak, he still has the leisure to teach Xun'er how to be a little lady, others probably won't care about Xun'er's current big-character appearance, Yang Fan from the civilized shijie can't accept it.
Xun'er glanced at him, and said angrily: "You really have a lot of work!" ”
That being said, she obediently closed her legs, as if they were no longer hers, and when they closed, her hamstrings were sore and sore. Kaoru'er's little face was as red as a rabbit, which had been smoked by the poisonous smoke bomb when the wind suddenly changed in the direction of the wind in the morning.
Yang Fan was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "You say, what would happen if I went down the mountain now?" Will they let the people in the stockade go. ”
Xun'er said lazily: "Okay, aren't you annoyed to try back and forth?" As a thief, the heart is weak, and the surname Huang will not let anyone in the village live to leak the fact that he killed Qincha! You don't understand this truth? I'm not going to stab you in the back. ”
Yang Fan sighed again and said, "But, I'm worried that Brother Qingshan won't think so, do you see that he is muttering to those people, do you have any plans?" ”
