Chapter 186: All or Nothing

"Shut up!" Feng Yi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, roared impatiently, although his deep voice was not loud, but with undoubted majesty, it made the group of arrogant men around him shut up one after another, and the anger disappeared in an instant.

Some people are born destined to be superior, with a majesty that others cannot reach, and that innate ability makes people surrender.

The mountains and forests are getting colder and colder, except for the cold hands and feet, the arms that are tied behind their backs are numb and unconscious, and their whole body is screaming and uncomfortable, and their eyes are slowly closed.

——

The flames of war were raging, the cold wind was bleak, the smell of blood wafted in the air, and the corpses inside and outside the city were scattered.

This battle lasted for two days and one night, and the defense of the city was completely dependent on 20,000 soldiers to block the enemy outside the city gate, and paid a heavy price for it.

Despite experiencing this war, when she stood on the city wall and saw this scene, Jiang Yueting still gagged, she hadn't eaten for two days, all she vomited was bitter water, and her embarrassed face was red.

General Guo stood beside him, looking at all this with a compassionate look, the bandaged wound was gradually penetrated by blood into the gauze, and now there is a shortage of medicine outside the city, even the general does not dare to use more medicine.

Jiang Yueting raised his hand to wipe the filth from his mouth, tears fell involuntarily, mixed with the dust on his face, and he gritted his teeth so that he didn't cry.

"It's getting colder." General Guo sighed in a hoarse voice.

At first glance, these words seem to be a little different from the scene in front of them, but the veteran who has fought in the war understands the meaning of these words. If the battle is not finished when the snow closes the mountain, even if it does not start, I am afraid that we will freeze to death because of the cold, or starve to death because the grain and grass cannot be transported.

But what is even more desperate at the moment is that there are less than 5,000 soldiers in the city who can resist the enemy, and the rest are all wounded and disabled, medicine is in short supply, and all the painful wails near the camp tent are incessant all night.

If Xiliang attacked the city again, they were afraid that they would not be able to hold out for an hour.

It was a very cold night.

There is only one road in front of all the soldiers in Wuyang Pass, they have not waited for reinforcements for so long, they have completely given up in this short night, and they are lit up by torches all around, and every soldier who is depressed and heavily pressed is full of sadness.

They don't believe God will forgive them, they have blood on their hands, and they have already seen their fate from the moment they set foot on this path.

This night, no one could sleep, not even Jiang Yueting sat in front of the tent, silently looking at the starry sky, the hideous and roaring scene echoed in his mind, and it was frightening compared to the peace in front of him.

At dawn, the sky turned white, and the trumpet sounded.

The string in the soldier's heart was completely broken, and the gongs and drums outside the city roared loudly, but there was silence inside the city.

General Guo stood up with the hilt of his sword, exhausted, and a hoarse and heavy voice sounded, "There are brothers who have followed me for many years, and there are soldiers who have just joined the army, I know that you are not willing to bury your life here, but Wuyangguan is a fortress of Dayuan, once the Xiliang barbarians break through the city, hundreds of people behind us will be slaughtered!" There are even our loved ones! Therefore, I, Guo, hereby implore you to follow me out of the city to resist the enemy, reinforcements are coming, and Wuyang Pass must be defended! ”

Maybe it was the sentence 'dearest' that infected the soldiers who were seated, or maybe it was the desperate courage that made the remnants of the weak soldiers endure the pain and get up, even if they were covered in scars, they had to get up, maybe they joined the army to fill their stomachs, but at this moment they were full of blood sprinkled on this stubbornly defended city.

"Stick to the sun! Stick to the ...... of no sun"

The voice went from weak to strong, and the fighting spirit was aroused instantly, not so much the fighting spirit as the desperate free and easy, since it was already destined for a good ending, what else was there to be afraid of?

Jiang Yueting was dumbfounded, he didn't listen carefully to what General Guo said just now, and he didn't know why these soldiers were suddenly so excited, and then shouted blindly, and felt collapsed, if the city was broken today, it would be better to save some strength to kill the enemy.

At this time, the Xiliang army outside the city was still led by Yelu Mountain, and it seemed that they didn't want to miss the joy of the city break, so they waited patiently.

"Yelu Mountain, why don't you attack the city immediately, so as not to breed variables." It was Qi Ha, the youngest son of King Xiliang, who was cruel by nature and even more impatient in temperament.

Yelushan glanced at him, evoking a wicked smile, "At the end of the strong crossbow, don't be afraid, the little prince is rare to come once, Ben Shuai invites you to watch the singing opera." ”

After the words fell, there were many more soldiers on the opposite wall, and the shields and archers were ready.

Yelushan raised his hand and lowered it when the first rays of sunlight came down on the horizon, and in an instant, thousands of feathered arrows shot towards the sky, shooting straight at the opposite city wall, or inside the city.

It was clear that this time Xiliang was going to attack the city in one fell swoop, and the feather arrows were coated with strong wine, and after they were ignited, they were shot, and many things in the city were ignited, and even shot at the soldiers, and finally they could not leave their complete bodies, but at the moment they had no time to take care of these.

In addition to resisting tens of thousands of feathered arrows, it was also necessary to kill the enemy troops who climbed the city wall, and gradually, more and more enemy troops climbed the city wall, and they were almost lost.

The solemn and heavy city gate was opened, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed forward, General Guo led a team of men and horses to meet it, and the battle was fought in an instant, and the archers who had already been ambushed would shoot the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who rushed into the city.

This caught the Xiliang barbarians off guard, and before they could react, the city gate was closed again.

In the distance, Qi Ha looked at this scene and twisted his eyebrows, "This is the good show you want me to watch?" ”

Yelu Shan's face didn't change, "Don't worry, there are no more than 10,000 troops in this city, I want to see how long they can play such a trick." ”

That's right, if an opportunistic method can succeed once, it is God's favor, but it will not succeed a second time, after all, the other party is not a fool.

Xiliang's offensive became more and more fierce in waves, as if announcing their determination to break the city. Baixiao

"The third prince, General Guo, the city wall is about to be untenable." The soldier was hit by an arrow in the chest, and came to report the news despite the pain.

If the city wall is occupied, their situation will be more passive, and to put it bluntly, they have no choice at all.

Looking at the less than 4,000 soldiers behind him, General Guo's eyes were red, and he scolded angrily, "Damn, rush out!" He clenched his fist at Jiang Yueting again, "This city gate will be handed over to the third prince." ”

"Rush! Rush! Rush! ”

The city gate was opened again, and with the experience of the last time, the Xiliang Iron Barbarians did not rush in immediately, but waited for a while, but saw the soldiers in the city rushing out.

"Ahh

The two sides fought at once, and then the city gate was closed, quite a bit of a posture of looking at death as home, after all, the disparity between the forces on both sides was too great.

I don't know when the sun has risen, and the sun hits the battlefield, shining on people's hearts.

Qiha ran out of patience and ordered the man next to him, "Shoot directly." ”

But here he is not in charge, he has not seen anyone make a move for a long time, Qiha's face turned completely black, and he gritted his teeth, "Yelushan, you dare not listen to me?" ”

Yelushan lay on the horse's back, as if he had no bones, "It's better for you to go and tell the king about this." ”

In Xiliang, status is important, but what is more important is strength, as long as there is strength, except for the king, no one can take it seriously, even if it is the prince.

"You!" Qi Haqi's forehead was bruised, but he was helpless to take him, and swallowed this breath stiffly.

The front seems to be fierce, but in fact, Xiliang only dispatched 10,000 troops, which can barely be regarded as an evenly matched war.

Yelushan really watched this as a play, and occasionally took out a fruit from his arms to taste, and his interest was so strong that he was cold, which was only an hour, watching the other party retreat one after another, and he was interested.

After another wave of enemy troops had finished fighting, General Guo took advantage of the rest to take a few glances around, and found that there were only a few hundred of the 4,000 soldiers who came out with him, all of them disgraced and struggling to support.

"Phew~"

Xiliang's deputy marshal Ye Luye arrived, rode on horseback and watched them, like looking at ants, "General Guo, our commander asked me to ask again, are you willing to surrender?" ”

"Lao Tzu - fart!" After this roar, General Guo directly picked up the hilt of the sword in his hand and smashed it towards Yeluye.

Yeluye easily dodged, his eyes did not wave, "No one is left." He turned his horse's head and hurried in the direction he had come.

The Xiliang soldiers who got the order no longer had to scruple, and the fight resumed, and the Dayuan soldiers clearly felt the madness of the other party, if the other party seemed to be a mad dog before, then now it is an uncontrollable wolf.

Baring its fangs, its bloodthirsty nature tearing everything apart.

The Dayuan soldiers were defeated and retreated, but in the time of a stick of incense, they were driven under the city wall and struggled.

on the city walls.

"Third prince, General Guo can't hold on, quickly order the city gate to be opened!" The soldier pleaded.

Jiang Yueting hesitated, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, "No!" If the city gate is opened at this time, the Xiliang thieves will also take the opportunity to enter the city. ”

The soldiers are not stupid, they know that if they go on like this, they will not be able to keep Wuyang Pass sooner or later, and they may not be able to get through tonight, but some people deceive themselves.

"Third prince, let the archers get ready, General Guo will close the city gate as soon as he comes in, even if there are Xiliang thieves who take the opportunity to enter the city, they can shoot and kill, don't be afraid." The soldiers burst into tears.

Jiang Yueting still shook her head, and she was also angry, "Shut up!" ”

The city was still fighting, watching one soldier after another fall beside him, General Guo looked up at Jiang Yueting on the city wall, and that glance was mixed with countless emotions, and more disappointed.

A few hundred people were only a few dozen in a quarter of an hour, and everyone gathered in a group, gasping for breath from back to back.

Distance.

Qi Ha pointed to the opposite side and hurriedly said, "Let them do it quickly, we must take Wuyang Pass today!" ”

"The little prince doesn't need to worry, this Wuyang Pass is already in our pocket." The tail of Mount Yelu has not yet fallen, and a magnificent mountain shakes in the east.

It was like a mountain and a sea, magnificent, startling the yellow sand all over the sky, covering up his original magnificence.

It was originally a fierce battlefield, but everyone stopped killing and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the momentum, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
