Chapter 600: Defend to the Death
"Kill!"
Luo Shixin took the lead, with a horse lance straight into the enemy formation, where the horse lance passed, the enemy troops were picked off the horse, no life survived.
Not to be outdone, the cavalry behind him fought along his assault route.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Junkuo ordered the city gate to be opened and personally led his army to board the ship.
When the Handong army on the shore came into range, Wang Junkuo immediately ordered the archers to release their arrows.
"Woo Woo ......"
The rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the Handong army on the shore fell.
Wang Junkuo took the opportunity to land and attacked the Handong army on both sides with Luo Shixin.
The Tang army was fierce, the Handong army was fierce, and the two armies were evenly matched, and the battle was dark.
After several fierce battles, Luo Shixin and his troops rushed to the shore, while Wang Junkuo led his army into the rear of the Handong army.
Seeing the Handong army rushing towards the Tang army guarding the ship, Luo Shixin immediately led people to rush over, waved the horse lance in his hand, and killed those Handong troops.
"You stay here."
Luo Shixin commanded, then got up and stood on horseback, took out his binoculars and looked at it.
At this glance, he found that Wang Junkuo and his army were already far from the shore, and were surrounded by the Handong army, and they could not get out for a while.
And Liu Heimin personally led the army to rush in his direction violently, as if to seize the ship and enter the county seat of Lishui.
Luo Shixin put away his binoculars and glanced at the Tang troops around him, their faces were tired, and their movements had become sluggish.
He cried out in a loud voice, "Everyone obey the command, and follow me into the city." ”
So, the cavalry fought and retreated, covering Luo Shixin to board the ship.
After Luo Shixin took the army on the boat, he took out his bow and arrows and shot the Handong army that was chasing him.
The ships grew farther and farther away, and finally stopped outside the city gates, forming a new line of defense.
Liu Heimin looked at the warships waiting on the river, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The Don warships were strong, his warships were far from comparable, and his warships were sunk before they even approached the city gates. It was because of this that he decided to build the Yongdao.
In a few days, the Yongdao will be completed, and then he will be able to take the county seat of Luoshui.
Liu Heimin's eyes flashed with the light of ambition, he took a deep look at the city in the distance, then turned around and rushed in the direction of Wang Junkuo.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Junkuo led the army out of the encirclement and rushed towards the Tang army camp.
Seeing Wang Junkuo, Li Shimin was surprised: "Why are you back?" Has the county town fallen? ”
"There is no loss." Wang Junkuo explained: "The enemy army was outnumbered, and General Luo and I were scattered.
"However, General Luo has already led his troops into the county seat of Luoshui, and the county town of Laoshui is still in the hands of our army."
After listening to his words, Li Shimin was relieved.
But the next moment, his mood became heavy again.
If he can't stop Liu Heimin from building Yongdao, then it is very likely that the county town will fall into the hands of Liu Heimin, and the safety of the soldiers and civilians in the city will also be threatened.
However, Liu Heimin deployed a large number of troops to intercept him, and the reinforcements could not reach the county seat of Lishui at all.
If this continues, I'm afraid Luo Shixin won't be able to last long.
Li Shimin realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly convened the military generals to discuss countermeasures.
However, everyone was also clueless and couldn't think of a safe way.
......
A few days later, the Yongdao was completed, and Liu Heimin gave the order to start the siege.
Li Shimin sent Liu Wenjing, Li Junxian, Hou Junji and other generals to lead more than 10,000 people to reinforce the county seat, while Luo Shixin, who was stationed in the county seat, sent part of the troops to prevent the Handong army from approaching on the river, and part of the troops to prevent the Handong army from climbing on the city wall......
This is an unprecedented tough battle, Liu Heimin personally led the army, for seven days and seven nights in a row to launch a fierce attack on the county town of Zhushui, there is a great posture of not dying.
The reinforcements were blocked on the road, and Luo Shixin could only lead thousands of Tang troops in the city to resist desperately.
When the Handong army approached the city and the Tang army could not resist it, Luo Shixin would take out firearms to deal with the Handong army.
Although Li Shimin went out on this expedition, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin all the firearms in the treasury, but there were not many firearms themselves, and Luo Shixin only got three flying fish bullets.
By the fifth day, Luo Shixin's Flying Fish bomb had run out.
He said to the generals: "Don't hide it from you, the firearms in my hands have been used up, and the next thing can only rely on our real swords and guns." ”
Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across the faces of the generals.
But the next moment, they became calm again, and looked at Luo Shixin tragically: "General Luo, rest assured, no matter whether we can win in the end or not, we will fight until the last moment." ”
"Okay, good ......" just said two words, Luo Shixin's throat was a little blocked, and his nose was a little sour.
He calmed down, raised the weapon in his hand high, and encouraged everyone and himself: "Swear to defend the county town of Lishui to the death, and never let the rebels succeed." ”
The crowd shouted: "Swear to defend the county town of Lishui to the death, and never let the rebels succeed......"
"Knock-knock-"
Drums outside the city sounded, and the killing came again.
"Kill!"
Luo Shixin clenched the weapon in his hand and went out of the city to meet the enemy.
......
On the eighth day, Li Shimin stood at the highest point in the south and held a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Since Liu Heimin launched the siege war, Li Shimin has spent most of the day here observing the situation every day, and the further he goes, the more unfavorable the situation is for the Tang army.
However, Li Shimin was very calm, calmly commanded the battle every day, and changed his deployment at the right time.
"Oh no, the county seat of Zhushui has been breached."
As soon as Li Shimin sat down to drink water, the voice of a soldier came from his ears, and he hurriedly dropped the kettle and picked up the binoculars to look.
At this time, the south gate of the county seat suddenly opened, and Liu Heimin led his personal guards to rush into the city gate first......
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly walked over and said to Li Shimin: "Great news, great news, Beizhou, Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places have been captured by General Li and them, and our army has cut off the supply source of the rebels. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin was overjoyed: "In this case, we can temporarily give up the county seat of Lishui." ”
After the words fell, he picked up the order flag on the side and waved it in person to convey the flag.
On the city wall in the distance, the soldier saw the flag clearly through the binoculars, and hurriedly threw the binoculars to his companions: "You continue to observe, and I will go to convey the marshal's order." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he had already run away.
However, the city had already fallen into a scuffle, and he finally managed to kill Luo Shixin's side: "General, the marshal has an order to evacuate the county seat of Luoshui." ”
Luo Shixin was overjoyed, it must be Shubao that they have captured Beizhou and other places.
"Pass the order to go down and evacuate the county seat."
After Luo Shixin gave the order to retreat, he led his soldiers to break through.
However, Liu Heimin's soldiers surrounded them tightly.
"Brothers, fight with them."
Luo Shixin roared loudly, rushed out of the protective circle, rushed to the front of the Tang army, waved the horse lance in his hand, and fought hard to kill the enemy.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of people in the Handong army in the city of Zhushui County, and there were only more than 100 people left in the Tang army......
