Chapter 34: The Danger Is at Stake
And the same and the wolf Gu fled and Lian was very different, Xu Shu and Atoto, who were believed to have been persuaded to surrender by the Northern Xiongnu. Kai is galloping towards the Jade Gate Fortress.
The picture turns back to the perspective of the protagonist Yannan Hou Mengli, who has not appeared for a long time, the city wall at this moment is already full of all kinds of dead corpses, as for the soldiers who will collect the corpses of their brothers a few days ago, they no longer have the energy at the moment, and the mood is to clean up, who knows if you can take a few more breaths! It would be better to save the strength to pounce on the enemy soldiers who have climbed the city wall.
Meng Li, who was lying on his back on the ground, took a deep breath at this moment, and the bloody nose did not make him feel any discomfort at the moment. The bloody battles had made him accustomed to the tragic state of killing and being killed, and at this moment he was just wondering if Zhang Liao and the others did not succeed in coming back, would the sun still fall in his eyes today.
"Lord~" Guo Jia, who was full of blood, was also covered in blood, and he no longer had that chic demeanor. He was still able to kill the enemy with a sword, and when he saw that his state was really not optimistic two days ago, he led the 3,000 young men who had been hastily trained in the city to climb to the top of the city to assist the defenders in fighting.
"It's Fengxiao, how are the casualty statistics today?" Looking at Guo Jia, who looked tired, Meng Li had no intention of persuading at the moment. After all, there are still more than 30 points of force, and now he is the only one who wants to use them separately, not to mention Guo Jia, who has been ordered by him to be on standby in the government, is just one more person and one more force.
"Alas~, the lord, now the three groups of the army have been merged into a group, the lord yesterday and sent 500 soldiers who were not seriously injured to go down to the city to rest and wait, and now there are more than 1,300 regular soldiers who are not seriously injured in the city, and there are more than 100 servants, as for the militia requisitioned in the city and the private soldiers handed over by various magnates, there are only more than 1,000 left. The situation is not optimistic! "More than 7,000 soldiers of the regular army, 500 servants, plus 5,000 conscripted militiamen and private soldiers handed over by various magnates, are now left with only these. On the other hand, although the 70,000 soldiers of the Northern Xiongnu were sent into battle in turn, they also suffered heavy losses, but the 10,000 troops directly subordinate to the king of the Northern Xiongnu around their royal tent looked at the exhausted soldiers and were indifferent. Presumably, they won it in one fell swoop while waiting for the final hole cards of the Yumen Fortress to be exhausted.
As for the generals, from time to time since yesterday, there have been some generals who are higher than the third rate from time to time to climb up to the head of the city to carry out surprise attacks, although they were 'named' by Dian Wei and Cao Xing one by one, but there is still a steady stream of follow-up generals to climb up, but looking at his appearance and form is not like the Hu general who slashes on the battlefield on weekdays, it must be the man sent by the Wolf God Hall.
"Hey~, can you expect today's battle Fengxiao?" I have been holding back and wanting to ask Guo Jia if the Northern Huns, who did not pay attention to it, could force themselves to the point of exhaustion. So what about the heroes in the world? Will you be able to kill yourself with your strength? In the past, I didn't ask questions for fear of hitting Guo Jia's confidence, but today, maybe I can't even see the sun set, so I can solve the doubts in my heart and go with peace of mind in the future.
Seeing Meng Li's lonely demeanor, Guo Jia's face straightened, straightened the already tattered sleeves, bowed down and said very strictly: "Lord! It's just a few Northern Huns, and today Jia has already expected that if he doesn't fight hard and win a big victory, how can he stabilize the prestige of the lord in Yannan Road!"
"So, what I said before the war might not be good enough to send troops and horses from all over the place to come to the rescue?" Before the war, Meng Li thought that the gap between the two sides was too big, and he wanted to send envoys to various places to send troops and horses to support, but Guo Jia and Xu Shu jointly denied it.
"Although the lord has nominally taken over the soldiers and horses of Yannan Province at present, but the guards of each city are just watching this battle, the envoy of the lord does not say that he went there to bring humiliation on himself, but also lost the identity of the lord and the prestige that the generals have finally established, and today's situation is not so unoptimistic as the lord thinks, Jiachai Ding General Wenyuan and Mr. Yuan Zhi will definitely succeed immediately, and use various means to let the Southern Xiongnu fight for me. So we're almost done with today's noon. Looking at Guo Jia, who was confident and determined, Meng Li was also infected by his pride and ambition. Yes, although the current form is not optimistic, it is not without the power of a battle, not to mention that even if the persuasion fails, there are 3,000 fine horses carefully selected by Zhang Liao floating outside, this battle, and some fight!
As for the question of how to fight, Meng Li didn't think much about it at this moment, and now the tragic situation has no other way than to defend the city, and the 500 soldiers who have rested for a day are also the last hole cards on their own city. If you have time to think about how to fight, it's better to rest for a while to recuperate and wait for a death battle~
……
"Woo woo woo~" The constantly sounding sound of the horn sounded the horn of war again, and Meng Li, who jumped up on the city wall, lay on the battlements and prepared to see the strength of the enemy army below.
Meng Li, who was lying on the battlements and took a closer look, looked unusually ugly at the moment, and the soldiers around the big tent of the Chinese army had already begun to move, and the close of the Yumen fortress was closed. Even the troops in front who were preparing to be cannon fodder to resist the golden juice, base stones, and rolling logs were all pro-guards under the commanders who had not been used in the past few days, plus the generals and captains who were in the front row and ready to charge in person. It seems that at this time, it is the best opportunity for the Northern Huns to attack!
"Feng Xiao, go, hurry up, and quickly dispatch those 500 soldiers." didn't think about whether they could attack the pass, but whether they could block this wave of attacks!
"Oh~" Guo Jia, whose face was also gloomy, responded in a low voice. Xu Yuanzhi, it's up to you!
"Golden juice! Stone! Rolling wood! Sprinkle it all for Lao Tzu. At this moment, Meng Li didn't care about his identity as the son of heaven, and the 'Lao Tzu' for the first time in his life also collapsed from his mouth at this moment, which was enough to see his anxiety at this time.
When he saw that the Hun soldiers who were paving the road with human heads had already begun to attach a large number of ants, Meng Li decided to accumulate the oil he had borrowed from the people's homes for a few days and heat it up and splash it one by one.
All the Northern Hun soldiers whose skin festered when they were touched fell down one by one, and although they were afraid, they still climbed up as they watched the captains and generals who were personally guarding under the ladder. No matter how much oil there is, it can't be poured out, and the soldiers who have already finished pouring oil are standing solemnly behind Meng Li with torches at this time.
"Throw torches!" As the torches were thrown down, the fire suddenly burned down, and the flammable oil met the layers of corpse oil oozing from the dead corpses, so that the sparks of the fire collapsed to the wall from time to time.
The Northern Hun soldiers who turned into fire men ran around one by one for help, but what awaited them was an overwhelming rain of arrows.
The screams had been over for a long time, but no matter how many corpses there were, the raging fire with oil had burned to the end. The smell of corpses that had not been cleaned up for days and the stench of barbecued corpses echoed under the closed city. Lingdu came over in the bloody rain, and the soldiers on both sides faintly vomited.
"Woo woo woo~" The horn sounded again accompanied the army directly under the king's tent to float up to the city with the cloud ladder, and Meng Li, who had been accustomed to killing in the past few days, picked up the long sword in his hand again and held it tightly in his hand, waiting for another short encounter. As for archery? Oh no, nine consecutive days of drawing bows and shooting arrows have made the brothers' arms swollen like steamed buns, and it is not easy to pick up a weapon and stab forward stiffly, let alone shoot arrows!
After cutting off the head of a Hun soldier in front of him. Meng Li looked back at the battlements again, and three more Hun soldiers jumped in. Unhurried, Meng Li was the first to stab and swung his sword past a soldier's neck. After blocking the scimitar coming at him laterally again, a lazy donkey rolled past the opponent and pierced his calf. After throwing the long sword in his hand at the last soldier standing, he took out the dagger at his waist and quickly stabbed it into his defenseless chest, and Meng Li, who turned around to mend the knife, easily dealt with the three Hun soldiers.
Dian Wei? Cao sex? Chen Qingzhi? Why not come and protect him? First, because the generals who climbed in this direction have been eliminated by Cao Xing, I believe that after a few days of bloody battles, Meng Li will have no problem killing a few small soldiers. The second is that they may have to run around to support and kill those Xiongnu generals who are difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with.
As for Zhang Liao? At this moment, how dare you think too much between life and death.
The soldiers around him fell one by one, and Meng Li's body also suffered several minor injuries on his arms and legs because he was wearing inner armor and outer armor, and he looked around at the city again, and the Hun soldiers had already jumped out of the battlements and killed their own horses.
The unwilling Meng Li once again desperately danced the steel sword he brought from the capital to kill the Huns.
Do you want to hate this today?
