Chapter 62: Defend the city quickly
The horses' hooves were dusty.
More than 200 cavalry galloped on the main road, looking solemn.
The city near Dou County is okay, inaccessible, and there are frightened birds everywhere you pass, but the city and villages have not been violated, and you can occasionally see people walking in a hurry, and the rich family nursing home snooping inside the high walls.
But the farther away from Dou County, the more different the scene becomes, in the spring season, there are no people who step on the spring and do not see the people working in the fields, only broken walls and ruins, and scattered corpses can be seen from time to time in the fields and villages on the roadside.
Since An Dezhong led his troops into Huainan Province, this was the first time that everyone came out, and the scene shocked them.
It's not that they don't eat the fireworks of the world, and it's not that they haven't seen suffering, many of them are dragging their families out of their homeland and coming to Dou County for a bite to eat.
They thought they were already suffering, but they didn't expect that there would be even more hell.
This is not the Great Xia they know, how did Great Xia become like this overnight?
"A team of people was found in front, holding a banner of security." The scout Mercedes-Benz who was exploring the way came to report, "About fifty people. ”
Zhong Wu waved his hand indifferently: "Kill it directly." ”
......
......
The soldiers falling from the city were getting slower and fewer, and the long ladders were getting more and more stable.
There were rolling wooden stones falling down, a long ladder with a string of people falling into the pile of corpses, some rolling and others also turned into corpses, which was very tragic.
But the generals who saw this scene were even happier.
"I've used all of this, and I don't have any means." He waved his long knife and prepared to personally go into battle to deliver the final blow to the Gwangju Mansion and disperse their last lingering breath.
There was movement behind him.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
With a chaotic shout, the general turned around and saw his sentries coming.
"My lord, there are soldiers and horses coming." The sentinels shouted.
The Huainan Provincial Observation Envoys have surrendered, and there are still soldiers and horses? The general was surprised: "Where are the soldiers and horses?" ”
"Zhenwu Army, Zhenwu Army." The Sentinel said.
The general was shocked: "The Zhenwu army in the capital? "So soon, the soldiers and horses of the capital will arrive in Huainan?
"It's not." The sentinel said, "It's from the direction of Dou County." ”
Yes, the general remembered that there is a Zhenwu army in Dou County, Huainan Province..... 's family, family members should not be underestimated, and it is useless to repel Qi Da ....
"How many are there?" The general asked solemnly.
The sentinel said, "About two hundred." ”
The general was stunned, jumped up from his horse and scolded: "Wu Ya'er, this bastard wants to be famous, he wants to go crazy!" He stretched out his hand and continued to rush towards the Gwangju Mansion.
The sentry grabbed him in a panic: "What about the Zhenwu Army?" ”
The general snorted: "Of course I killed them with a knife and shot them, do you want to welcome them with good wine?" ”
Just 200 people, scaring children?
He waved his sword and shouted: "Siege!" Take the city! ”
......
......
The dense hundreds of soldiers and horses in front of them held all kinds of weapons, and their movements were swift, and the battle formation was tightly pounced.
The middle five seemed to look at them and seemed to pass over them, only to see the thick black smoke rising in front of them, and the city was tumbling and struggling.
If these people are allowed to take the city, the city will become a shelter for these people, with high walls, forage, and people who can be sacrificed at any time, and they will become moths to the fire when they come from a long distance.
"Keep the city!" He brandished his sword and issued a military order, "Buy enough time to keep the city!" ”
He led the way, followed closely by the cavalry, light armor and horned bows, spears and knives clashing.
"Kill!"
Their speed was even faster than the speed of the opposing formation, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides collided together.
......
......
Hurried and neat footsteps keep falling on the ground, not horses' hooves, and human footsteps can also make the ground shake.
The group ran as fast as they could, wearing only the lightest cotton armor and carrying a weapon on their backs.
There was a roaring trumpet in the queue, and everyone's footsteps rose and fell with the trumpet, which made the fast running even faster, and the running team became a moving whole, and everyone in it seemed to be much less tired.
There were cavalry galloping ahead, and the fluttering banner of the Zhenwu Army and the woman in the black cloak under it were the direction and strength of everyone's advance.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
......
......
The generals who rushed to the city wall turned around with an angry expression.
Not far away, the group of cavalry was strangled in the military formation, but they were always inexhaustible, like a fish that jumped out of the water from time to time and splashed a splash.
A splash of water will bring down a group of soldiers.
In this way, the army gathered and scattered, advancing and retreating, gradually like a drunken man with unsteady and staggering steps, as if he was about to fall at any moment.
The general cursed, looked at the nearby city wall, and issued an order.
.......
.......
Zhu Tong cut down a rebel who pounced, blood splashed his face, his vision blurred for a while, although his arm was no longer conscious, but he still waved the knife out indiscriminately, and now he didn't dare to relax.....
The knife he swung did not touch his flesh, and no weapon approached his flesh.
Zhu Tong's roar stopped, and he opened his eyes wide to see the rebels who did not climb up in front of him, and then looked at other places, and the soldiers who were fighting also stopped, looking at the retreating rebels with a shocked expression.
"Your Excellency!" Someone's tired and sour hand held a trembling knife and pointed far ahead, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
There is no need for him to say it, Zhu Tong has already seen it, the heavy breathing has become even heavier, and something has turned out of his throat, making his throat hot and painful.
He turned and rushed to the drums, slamming the knife in his hand.
The drums that had not sounded at the head of the city for a long time startled the prefect sitting under the city, this is a war drum, is it at the last moment? The prefect was a little flustered, but he hadn't thought of how to die.
"If self-immolation can burn a few rebels rushing in?" He said in a thick nasal voice, "But then the corpse of the official will be ugly, and it is better to dress neatly and hang yourself, even if it is hung up, it will look better." ”
Changshi denied beside him: "My lord, the rebels stripped those officials who hanged themselves naked and hung them. ”
It might as well be scorched, at least save face, the prefect grabbed the fire in his hand and gritted his teeth and stood up.
A soldier covered in blood stumbled over: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, reinforcements are coming." ”
......
......
The remnants of the cavalry spread out on both flanks, revealing the formation of troops rushing behind them.
"Kill!"
These soldiers, who had no armor and only held simple weapons, rushed over, and the spears in their hands pierced out, not even looking at the light of the swords from the opposite side, and no matter how majestic and agile the enemy on the opposite side was, how they swung their swords and spears into a dazzling light......
They only have the fastest shot, aiming at the throat, neck, chest and other vital points, and they don't care about their own injuries, as long as they are not dead, they must stab the other party to death first, and whoever dies first will lose.
This is the simplest and most cruel truth.
Although the officials and soldiers of Gwangju Prefecture standing at the head of the city had already been present in the battle, they were still numb when they saw it.
Impact, fall, impact again, fall again, no one retreats, and every soldier who advances after wielding his long knife, there is no need to worry, because there are always four or five spears piercing out of his side, and he is facing an enemy, but he is not just himself, they are a whole.
No matter how ferocious the other party is, they will never be separated, no matter how high the wall of the other party's kung fu is, they only have one move, stab, stab to death.
One wave fell and another wave came forward neatly, and the stream continued.
Behind them, there was a big flag fluttering, and the prefect narrowed his blurred eyes, and saw the three words Zhenwu Jun on it, and also saw a petite figure under the big flag, with a black cloak and a black umbrella that swelled and elongated her figure.
It's a ghost that resembles a hooker.
But at this moment, it is not their life that this ghost is hooked.
