Chapter 64: Gao Cheng Can't Take It Anymore?
"How far is it from the High City?"
Meng Tian looked at the distant sky and asked the lieutenant general beside him.
"General, this is the Two Realms Mountain, and it is still twenty miles away from Gaocheng, if you are in a hurry, you will arrive in half an hour."
The adjutant general said after taking a look at the surrounding landscape.
"Command the army, speed up the march now!"
Meng Tian's face was calm, and he ordered to the adjutant beside him.
"No!"
The adjutant received the order, immediately drove forward, and shouted loudly: "The general has an order, speed up the march, and be sure to feel the high city within half an hour." ”
"The general has an order, speed up the march, and be sure to feel the high city within half an hour."
"The general has an order, speed up the march, and be sure to feel the high city within half an hour."
"The general has an order, speed up the march, and be sure to feel the high city within half an hour."
.....
Soon, the army led by Meng Tian remembered the sound of the herald in different places, and then the speed of the march began to increase, twice as fast as before.
"Second brother, I hope you'll be fine!"
Meng Tian walked forward on his horse, constantly thinking about the battle in Gaocheng, and he was always worried about Meng Yi from the time he learned that the Huns were attacking again.
In the battle of Hetao City that year, if he hadn't been hidden in the cellar, maybe Meng Yi at this time would have followed the second son of the year.
Now that he is the defender of the high city, he is isolated and does not know if he will be able to hold out until they arrive.
"Report!"
"The 150,000 troops of the Xiongnu army have begun to attack the city, and the high city is in danger!"
Suddenly, the rush of scouts was heard in front of the army.
"Huh?"
Meng Tian's face changed, and he said urgently: "Hurry forward and rescue Gao Cheng!" After saying that, he took the lead in rushing towards Gao Cheng.
"Hurry forward and rescue Gao Cheng!"
"Hurry forward and rescue Gao Cheng!"
"Hurry forward and rescue Gao Cheng!"
.....
The entire Golden Fire Cavalry became slaughtered, and they all heard the news from the scouts, and knew that it was urgent to rescue Gao Cheng, so they couldn't help but speed up again.
Fortunately, the Golden Fire Cavalry are all cavalry, and the marching speed is supposed to be faster than the normal infantry, but at this moment it is still a rapid march, and the speed can be described as fast.
————————————————
On the other side, High City.
At this time, the war had broken out in full swing, and the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of fighting and the smell of blood in the air.
Just when Meng Tian ordered the rapid rescue of Gao Cheng, the army led by Tou Man finally rushed outside Gao Cheng, and saw that the vanguard general was directing the siege of the city, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile.
Immediately, Bainian ordered to the left and right: "Immediately increase the vanguard troops and assist them in breaking through Gaocheng, I want to let the Yingzheng children of Great Qin know that offending me will not end well." ”
"No!"
The left and right generals responded and rode directly towards the left and right armies, and after a while, the same order was remembered among the left and right armies: "If you have an order, you will immediately participate in the siege of the city, and there must be no mistake!" ”
The entire 400,000 Xiongnu army pressed the border and attacked this high city of great significance, so you can imagine how much pressure Meng Yi put on as a general defending the city.
This time, the Huns attacked the city not in a small fight, not 350,000 people, but a whole army of 400,000, and the defenders of their high city were only a few people, and the full battle was not more than one-tenth of the others.
How to defend the high city?
In the face of the lifeless attack of the Huns, can Gao Cheng withstand it?
Meng Yi didn't know...
The Qin army defending the city did not know...
The people of Goseong don't know...
However, they knew one thing, no matter what, the Huns could not be allowed to break through Gaocheng, otherwise the entire Gaocheng would become like the Hetao City in the past, and finally become a ruin, and no one has rushed into it so far.
Under the city, in the distance.
Tou Man looked at the Qin army on the city wall who was trying his best to resist the Xiongnu army, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became even colder, and he said to his second son Tou Yue (fictitious) beside him: "Order the army to speed up the attack, I want to see the people standing on the high city in an hour is my great Huns." ”
"Yes, Father!"
Tou Yue nodded, and then landed a herald and ordered: "Shan Yu has an order, speed up the siege of the city, and take the high city after a sincere one, and then there will be a heavy reward!" ”
"There is an order alone, and there are many rewards for breaking through the high city!"
"There is an order alone, and there are many rewards for breaking through the high city!"
"There is an order alone, and there are many rewards for breaking through the high city!"
.....
Hearing that after the breakthrough of Gaocheng, Shan Yu would be rewarded, and these Huns were like chicken blood, and they completely gave up the defense and rushed towards the city wall without their lives.
Looking at the high army period, Tou Manshan nodded with satisfaction, for him, Gaocheng is a small city, and he is not in his eyes at all.
From the order just given, it can be seen that Tou Man Shan Yu means.
His real target is Xianyang City, the capital of Great Qin, and as for Gaocheng, it is completely dispensable.
Moreover, in the face of the disappointing army of the Xiongnu Si, it was only a matter of time before Gaocheng was broken by them, so there was no need for him to command it at all.
Besides, what Touman wants is to slaughter the city after breaking through it!
As for the rest, it was not in his consideration.
"Pacify Gaocheng, enter the Central Plains, enter Xianyang, and slaughter the city!!"
"Pacify Gaocheng, enter the Central Plains, enter Xianyang, and slaughter the city!!"
"Pacify Gaocheng, enter the Central Plains, enter Xianyang, and slaughter the city!!"
.....
I don't know who shouted, the momentum of the entire Huns rose again, and the deafening sound of fighting was even more powerful, which made people look very enthusiastic.
In the face of the frenzied attack of the Huns, Meng Yi, who was fighting on the wall of Gaocheng, looked a little pale, and Qin Jian, who was originally easy to martial arts, also became heavy.
He didn't know that he had killed the Huns who had climbed the city wall, he only knew that the Huns could not be allowed to break through the city.
Even though it became more and more difficult to kill the Huns, it had reached the point of crumbling, and he kept reminding the Qin soldiers who were also tired and out of breath: "Defend the high city, and you must not let the Huns climb the city wall."
Otherwise, the people of Gaocheng will be in danger!
"Kill!"
The soldiers of Great Qin naturally understood that everyone was desperately waving the weapons in their hands and doing their best to kill the Huns who had climbed the city wall.
"Behind Gao Cheng is the land of our Great Qin, where are the people we want to protect, there are the families we want to protect, we have no retreat at all!"
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
"Fight to the death, never retreat, never die!"
....
"Swear to defend Gaocheng to the death, live and die with it, kill!"
"Swear to defend Gaocheng to the death, live and die with it, kill!"
"Swear to defend Gaocheng to the death, live and die with it, kill!"
.....
Gaocheng, the Great Qin soldiers guarding the city wall all have the determination to die, and they are bound to live and die with Gaocheng.
"Kill!"
Looking at the defenders of Gaocheng as if they were at home one by one, Meng Yi seemed to have been replenished with energy, his whole body was full of strength, and the Qin sword in his hand felt more powerful when he slashed and killed the Huns.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
.....
One by one, the Huns who rushed up were beheaded.
At this moment, the entire high city turned a blood-red, and endless blood stained this city of great significance.
War is brutal.
There is no justice in war, only killing!
Meng Yi was like a robot, constantly waving the long sword in his hand, taking the life of a Hun every time.
At this moment, he completely gave up his defense, only knew how to kill the enemy, and did not defend even though he was already scarred.
He will never forget what happened in the Loop.
Where is it...
All his brothers, whom he regarded as death, were killed...
In order to prevent the Huns from killing the people of Hetao City, Mo Li, the son he respected the most, finally died with the Huns who entered the city...
He saw a ruin...
All this was caused by the invasion of the Huns.
He wants to avenge the sacrifice of Mo Li in the city of Hetao;
He wants to avenge the Great Qin soldiers who died in battle;
He wants to avenge the people of the Hetao....
It's not just him who thinks so, but the soldiers in the entire high city have this idea.
This moment.
Everyone, all gritting their teeth and fighting, completely gave up on defense.
The black armor they wore had long since been stained purple with blood, and some of them were even more torn and scarred...
But even so, these people did not fall.
They always had a belief in their hearts, that is, to pull these Huns to accompany the burial....
Now, there are not many defenders on Gaocheng, and in the face of the continuous attacks of the Hun army, they have not lost the faith of defending Gaocheng...
But sometimes faith can certainly improve combat effectiveness, but in the face of dozens of times more enemies, they are not not strong enough, but .....
The defenders of Gaocheng faced an army of 400,000 Huns, and the number was too small ....
Coupled with the fact that some of the defenders have now been lost, it is extremely difficult to defend this huge high city.
At this time.
The Huns had already climbed the city wall at the positions of countless gaps, thinking that the small number of Great Qin defenders began to encircle.
As time passed, more and more Huns would climb the city walls, and that might be when the city fell.
"Poof!"
After slashing and killing Meng Yi's Huns who wanted to sneak attack, a centurion in Gaocheng shouted: "General, the city wall can't stand it, more and more Huns are climbing the city wall, and we can only go into street battles to stop it." ”
"Poof!"
After Meng Yi's long sword pierced the abdomen of a Hun, his face became extremely ugly as he looked at the increasing number of Huns on the city wall.
"We can't retreat, there are still countless people in the city, if we enter the alley, it will undoubtedly lead the Huns to those unarmed people."
After a quick analysis of the current situation, Meng Yi decisively rejected the centurion's proposal, and said loudly: "Hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon, and that's when we wait for a counterattack." ”
"Poof!"
Before the centurion could reply, his abdomen was pierced by a Hun scimitar, and red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth: "Die!" ”
Swinging the long sword in his hand, he slashed at the neck of the Huns and killed them.
"Poof!"
The centurion spat out a mouthful of blood and went directly in front of Meng Yi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Will... General, Qin Mu didn't embarrass you, please take care of my old mother...."
As soon as he finished speaking, the centurion who had followed Meng Yi for a long time died, and there was still a regretful smile on his face.
"Qin Mu, don't worry, from now on your mother will be my mother, and I will support her to the end of my life!"
With tears in his eyes, Meng Yi slowly closed Qin Mu's eyes with his hands and reassured.
"You damned Huns, you should be killed!"
Meng Yi stood up from the ground, his eyes were red, and his face was hideous and angry at the Huns opposite, with his blood-stained body, he was simply a demon coming out of hell, so frightened that the Huns didn't dare to step forward.
The Huns didn't dare, but Meng Yi did.
He picked up the long sword in his hand and quickly rushed towards the Huns opposite, bringing bursts of blood with each swing.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Dangchang!"
The sound of sharp weapons piercing through the body, the sound of the body falling to the ground, and the sound of weapons colliding all appeared around Meng Yi.
This moment.
Meng Yi is like a god of war, tireless, only knows how to kill the enemy.
The ferocious attack and the deadly style of play directly slaughtered the Huns around him.
"General, the city gate has been breached, and Gaocheng can't stand it!"
At that moment, a lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the city gate shouted.
"Hold on, you must not let the Huns enter the city, otherwise all the people in the city will not survive!"
After Meng Yi heard that the city gate was broken, he quickly walked towards the city gate under the city wall, and at the same time ordered the lieutenant who had just shouted to guard the city gate even if he died.
"General, I really can't stand it, you quickly leave here with the people in the city, we are in charge of the palace!"
The lieutenant shouted.
There are too many Huns at the city gate, and they are completely inexhaustible, and the defenders around him are gradually decreasing.
By the time they all die, there will be no one to resist the Huns.
"Qin Shi, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, you will definitely be killed!"
Meng Yi yelled.
He knew that Qin Shi was for the sake of the people in the city, but as the general of the entire Gaocheng, how could he leave the soldiers who fought bloody battles when the Huns invaded.
But he also knew that what Qin Shi said was not wrong, Gao Cheng was really in danger at this time, and if there were no reinforcements, it might be broken at any time.
At this time, not only was the city gate broken, but the city wall was also stained with countless Huns.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Just when Meng Yi hurried to the city gate, the Qin army on the city wall was constantly beheaded by the Huns, and threw down the city wall and smashed it into the Qin army at the city gate.
Their purpose was simple, that is, to make the Qin army frightened, so as to give up resistance.
In this way, their Xiongnu army could enter Gaocheng unimpeded.
"Ahh
Seeing that the Qin army around him was getting fewer and fewer, Meng Yi let out a painful roar, could it be that this place would become a second Hetao City?
Is it really impossible to change?
At this moment, Meng Yi's heart was extremely painful, he didn't want to see such a thing happen.
But in the face of the endless Huns, he felt very powerless....
At this time, countless Huns rushed up with a sneer, and the Great Qin soldiers fell one by one...
The number of people is getting smaller and the resistance is getting less and less ...
Corpses, all over the city and under the city....
Gao Cheng, I really can't stand it!
The fierce Huns are about to enter the city...
"General, you take the people with you, you really can't stand it here..."
Qin Shi grabbed Meng Yi's arm, roared with red eyes, and pushed Meng Yi's whole person backwards: "Come on, take the general away!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon, two scarred Great Qin soldiers came over, took Meng Yi's arms and walked towards the city, you don't care about Meng Yi's thoughts at all.
