Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 139 Death Battle
Xiangxin led a group of soldiers to run towards the east gate of Jingzhou City, since the west gate has been occupied by the Turks, leaving Jingzhou City from the east gate at this time may be the only way to save everyone.
Xiangxin was still trying to persuade everyone to leave with him, but before he could speak, Cheng Chumo said while running: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you and Xiangxin should leave first, go and pick up my father!" โ
Li Chengqian looked at Cheng Chumo's firm eyes, knowing that he wanted to sacrifice himself, Li Chengqian shook his head with a smile, pulled out the sword on his waist and said: "My martial arts are a few points stronger than yours, when you were a child, I supported them when you bullied King Wu and King Wei, you won't forget it!" โ
Cheng Chumo also thought that when he was young, he could still fight King Wu and King Wei, but now when he saw them, he could only clench his fists silently, and he didn't have the courage to swing them out again, Cheng Chumo didn't persuade Li Chengqian again, but looked at his heart and said: "What about you, do you want to fight us to the death?" โ
Xiangxin only felt that his head was big, and said angrily: "Why do you have to send it to death, we all know it, General Cheng will be here soon, why should we!" โ
Cheng Chumo also smiled at the heart, these two have not changed at all, and the answer is the same as he thought, Li Chengqian is resolutely willing to accompany his brothers to die together, just to not retreat in the slightest when guarding the territory. I hope that everyone can give up the city for the time being, just to save everyone's lives.
In general, there is nothing wrong with the two of them, but at this time it is such a contradiction, everyone ran to the east gate to rest for a while, seeing that the Turks did not immediately chase after them, Cheng Chumo immediately said: "So the soldiers listen, if you want to stay and defend the city together, you will stay, and if you want to pick up my father with your heart, you will escort him, this is everyone's own choice, I will not blame you, even if I am left to defend the city in the end, I will not have a trace of complaint in my heart!" โ
Before Cheng Chumo's words fell, Li Chengqian walked up to him with a sword and said, "How can you be alone, I will definitely stay!" โ
Tang Xin also nodded on the side and said, "That's right, young master, I will also stay and wait for the master to come and save us!" โ
The soldiers looked at the leading officials who chose to stay, and they naturally did not run away, especially at this critical moment, most of them said that they wanted to stay, and only a small number of people did not express their position, but stared at the satisfaction who was still panting.
The silent group of people was divided into two groups, and he knew that everyone's eyes were focused on him, but he didn't know what to do at this time, he knew the importance of Jingzhou City to Datang, but he knew that if these living people died, they would be completely gone.
A large number of soldiers from the Turkic side climbed the city wall, and they were still cheering and celebrating at this moment, they thought that the Tang soldiers should have escaped, so they screamed on the city wall.
The commander under the city wall said a little anxiously: "Go down and open the gate, don't scream there!" โ
The order was quickly passed down, and a large number of soldiers went down the city wall, and found that the place where the gate was originally blocked with stones and earth, and these mud blocks were exceptionally hard, and some stone powder was burned and mixed with the gate of the city wall, although it was not as hard as cement, but it was not easy to open.
Only then did the Turks know what was going on, and hurriedly beckoned people to come and clean up the stones, but fortunately, there were many Turks, but it took nearly an hour to clear the stones at the gate.
Countless Turks came in through the gate, they knew that their time had come, and the first thing they did when they entered Jingzhou City was to burn, kill and loot.
The Turks scattered into the city pounced, except for one house after another, Jingzhou City was empty, and the food treasures were gone, everyone continued to search without giving up, and finally they realized that the people of Jingzhou City had really left.
The second prince was a little annoyed, seeing that the sun was already shining on this matter, he said angrily: "If it was such weather last night, we would have taken Jingzhou City a long time ago!" โ
The military advisor on the side comforted: "Second Highness, don't be disappointed, we captured Jingzhou City in order to take the initiative in the future when we start a war with the Tang Dynasty, as for the food treasures here, let's transfer it if we leave!" โ
The second prince nodded reluctantly, and searched the city lord's mansion again, but the result disappointed him, except for a little worthless things, he didn't find anything useful at all.
At this time, news suddenly came from a spy outside, "Second Highness, those Tang soldiers did not leave, but were ambushed at the east gate, and many brothers have been attacked by them!" โ
The second prince was even more annoyed when he heard this, and pointed to the east and said, "Go, follow me and kill them!" โ
At this time, the east gate has been bleeding like a river, Cheng Chumo and they hid in the alley and house of the east gate, waiting for the Turks to come in and attack them, but they didn't expect the Turks to open the gate of the west gate It took a lot of time, and when they opened the gate, they immediately went to various houses to search for things, although Jingzhou City is not very big, but it is not small, and the Turkic people actually took a long time to get to the east gate.
Everyone had regained their spirits, everyone was preoccupied with the ambush, and the Turks, distraught by the fact that they had found nothing, slammed open the door or stabbed a sword around a corner, and were killed almost without a sound.
Xiangxin still left, at this time the east gate gate was open, Xiangxin and a few soldiers rode horses at a speed that had never been seen before, he didn't know how long it would take for Cheng to bite the gold to come over, he didn't know how long Li Chengqian and they could hold out, in short, he knew that he was going to move the rescuers, and he couldn't stay there and sit still.
Just when the second prince took the soldiers to the east gate, he really met Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin also attacked at full speed with a large army at this time, but the speed of the infantry could not keep up with the cavalry, so he could only wait patiently.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly saw Chengxin running towards him with a bloody face, and he also felt frightened, and before Cheng Yanjin could ask, Chengxin said with tears in his eyes: "General Cheng, send troops to Jingzhou City, Jingzhou City has been occupied by the Turks, and if you don't go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Cheng Chumo will die!" โ
Cheng Yanjin knew that things were not good, and immediately ordered the cavalry to go first, and the infantry also sped up.
But last night had walked more than half the night, at this time the soldiers were also a little tired, no matter how fast they couldn't get there, they were a little anxious, so they wanted to go back with the cavalry, but they were stopped by Cheng Yanjin at once, only to see Cheng Yanjin pointing to the cavalry who had left and said: "What can you do if you go, if you follow me, this Jingzhou City is in front of you, don't worry!" It's okay! โ
How could he rest assured, but at this time he also knew that it would be useless for him to go back, so he nodded and silently followed behind Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin stayed behind Cheng Yanjin naturally to understand the situation in the city, seeing that he was weak, he motioned to his subordinates to bring a pot of water, and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him: "You wipe your face, I haven't used it!" โ
Xiangxin dropped some water on the handkerchief, and was about to wipe it on his face, when a pungent smell came, and Xiangxin only felt a burst of retching and finally threw the handkerchief to Cheng Yanjin, but poured water on his face with a kettle, and felt a lot more energetic after wiping the blood stains on his face.
Seeing that he had recovered his spirits, Cheng Yanjin immediately asked, "What is the situation in the city now!" Let's talk about it carefully! โ
Chengxin told him about the situation in the city and what had happened in the past few days, Cheng Yanjin also felt that this matter was not good, but he heard Xiangxin sigh: "It would be nice if they ran out with us, they may have ยทยทยทยทยทยท by now"
Cheng Yanjin smiled, patted his shoulder, and said: "Little doll, if everyone is as desperate as you, then there will be no war at this time, if our Datang soldiers are as desperate as you, then our Datang will not win any war." โ
Chengxin is not a fool, so he naturally knows what Cheng Bites Jin means, but he still said angrily: "Human life is more important than anything else, isn't it!" โ
Cheng Yanjin nodded, "There is nothing wrong with sparing life, but there are some things that are more important than life, the prince and Cheng Chu can't go, if the two of them go, the rest of the soldiers' hearts will be scattered, and the soldiers can't go, if they leave Jingzhou City, our Datang will never have peace." In short, Jingzhou City will not miss, don't worry! โ
The cavalry in the vanguard was still galloping, and the soldiers of Dongcheng also left the alleys and houses, and they fought in a row with knives in their hands to guard the door behind them, and the Turks blocked the alleys even more, and under this huge difference in numbers, the Turks rushed over without fear of death.
But what they didn't expect was that the extremely sharp steel knife from the front could not cut through the opponent's rattan armor at this time, while their own armor was torn apart by the enemy's steel knife like tofu, and the advantage of the equipment was completely reflected, and the first wave of the Turkic attack was completely shredded, as if a piece of meat met a meat grinder.
Everyone's momentum was arched to the top, it was originally the appearance of the Turkic attack, but at this time, the attack and defense were switched, the Datang soldiers charged suddenly, and killed thousands of Turks in less than ten minutes, but there were more and more Turks, and the dark crowd behind seemed to pounce, even if the Datang soldiers were strong and the weapons in their hands were sharp, they were afraid that they would be tired to death in the end.
But the Turks are not stupid, seeing the brothers around them rushing over not only did not cause harm, but put themselves in, and more and more vanguard soldiers were ruthlessly killed by the Tang soldiers, and the Turks retreated more and more, resulting in people in front and behind being blocked together, these Turks really seemed to stand still and kill the Tang soldiers.
