Chapter 546: Survival
Compared with the previous rounds, this time the counterattack of the guards in Yongzhou City was not much stronger, but as soon as the flag of the lieutenant general of the Jiaozhi Army fell, the city wall kept shouting "Li Fuzai is dead", and no matter how determined the Jiaozhi soldiers were, they were already scared out of sweat.
As soon as the army's heart was in turmoil, the offensive of Jiaozhi suddenly withered, and the arrows with three points of strength were shot on their bodies, which also made them seem to feel very painful, and everyone slowed down, hesitated, and did not dare to go forward.
More than 400 steps away from the city wall of Yongzhou South Gate, Li Fuzai collapsed on his back, dizzy.
His left shoulder was open, and in front of him was a soldier with a large hole in his chest and abdomen.
Li Fuzai was covered in blood, in addition to the blood, there was also the minced meat smashed by the soldiers, and the intestines, stomach, heart, liver, spleen and lungs that were broken into a paste.
His whole body was firmly pierced to the ground by a long arrow, and he and the soldier were strung together into a string of two balls of flesh, even if he tried to break free, he could not get out, and he could only watch the people around him flee in all directions, trampling on each other, and no one paid attention to him.
It seemed like a lifetime before the surroundings gradually calmed down.
No one in the cochin tent has ever seen a bed crossbow, and no one has ever seen the most ferocious eight-bull crossbow in the bed crossbow, four spears shot over, not only shot dozens of people, but also shot through the gall of tens of thousands of people, shooting all over the camp and trampling.
The generals did not know the frequency of the bed crossbow and the weakness of the bed crossbow, even if they already knew that the shield was useless, they could only hide behind the shield tremblingly.
Tan Zong, who hid the best, only felt that his gall had cracked, and he was dripping with bitter water, ticking and ticking, seeping all over his body with bitter taste.
Fortunately, he was the deputy commander of the Jiaozhi army, and after a while, he didn't wait for the next wave of spears in the city to shoot, and finally came back to his senses, and he shook his heart and fought his courage back, and hurriedly struggled to stand up, and commanded a few soldiers to find Li Fuzai.
Lee Fujae was crucified to the ground, covered in blood and flesh, his face and lips were extremely pale—after a delay of half a day, his armor was full of his own blood, and people were already about to be stunned.
Tan Zong hurriedly shouted: "Captain, why don't you withdraw your troops this time!" ”
Li Fuzai's whole body was cold and hot for a while, but his brain was still seven points clear.
Although he fell to the ground, he could not see clearly under the wall, but he could see the empty scene above the wall.
"Withdraw...... Withdraw troops! ”
He commanded loudly.
I thought that the order was very imposing, but it was so low and weak that few people could hear it clearly.
Tan Zong got closer, and asked again: "Captain, why don't you withdraw your troops?!" ”
Lee Fu Jae nodded with difficulty.
According to the situation at this time, the siege of the city today is hopeless, the army is in chaos, it is impossible to stand on the wall of Yongzhou, and he is so seriously injured, I don't know what conspiracy and tricks are in the city, so I can only withdraw the troops for the time being, and try to attack the city again next time.
The horn of retreat sounded after a while, and when the Jiaozhi soldiers attacked the city, they rushed to the Yongzhou city wall like a tide, but at this time they retreated, but they were faster and more violent, and they spread their legs and feet and jumped back, only hating their father and mother for only giving birth to two legs.
The arrows on the Yongzhou city wall are like locusts, reaping the lives of thieves one by one, Gu Yanzhang watched many soldiers flee back, and at the same time, he felt a pity to the extreme-
If you give him 200 cavalry, you can at least leave half of the heads of this group of defeated soldiers!
However, there is no Wang Miyuan at the south gate, no Wei Qi, no extra soldiers, and no horses.
At this time, none of the guards on the city wall did not stand for three days and two nights, and it was really a fluke to be able to hold out until this time and scare Li Fuzai away.
***
As soon as the soldiers retreated, the soldiers on the wall of the south gate collapsed to the ground one by one, some of them could not even speak, even though they were extremely hungry and thirsty in their mouths, they still tilted their heads, leaned on something at will, and fell asleep with their eyes closed.
Yongzhou City guards the city day and night, and this time almost the whole city is dispatched.
Up to the officials - all the officials stood on the city gate according to their ranks, except for some who were in charge of the operation of the city, the rest went up to the city wall to kill the enemy, and the prisoners were wounded, so they changed the patrol of the city, and the patrol of the city was dead, so they changed the patrol shop, and the patrol shop was gone, and then there were soldiers, one by one, they went up, and one by one took their lives to fill in.
Down to the beggars - even if they are cunning and lazy and useless on weekdays, this time they all gathered under the recruitment banner to enlist, and those who could go to the city followed the guards to kill the enemy, and those who could not go to the city helped carry arrows, demolish houses and stones, and carry food and water behind.
The whole city is united, even if it is water, it is already distributed according to the household and the population, although it will not starve to death, but it will not even be full, although it will not die of thirst, but there is not even a spare mouthful of drinking water.
Even in such a situation, the people of Yongzhou City still only have a small complaint.
A moment ago, seeing that the Jiaozhi soldiers were already about to attack the city wall, hundreds of people had gathered under the South Gate City, ready to follow the defenders to fight in the streets once they couldn't stand it, at this time they heard that the Jiaozhi soldiers retreated, and many people moved a high ladder to look out, and then shouted to the bottom: "The thieves have withdrawn!" ”
Thousands of people shouted for joy, and the crowd cried and laughed as if they had never heard such good news again.
Gu Yanzhang could hear the laughter of the people in the city, and although his heart was still hanging high, he couldn't help but smile.
Except for him, there was no one standing on the city wall at this time, and the guards of the city were lying on the ground one by one.
Gu Yanzhang leaned on the city wall, watched the Jiaozhi soldiers retreat in a hurry from a distance, and finally slowly sat on the ground.
- The thief is only temporarily retreating.
The city, whether it is a force or an ordnance, is exhausted.
Even if he really shot Li Fuzai to death just now, he may not be able to completely defeat Jiaozhi, but will only exchange for Zhang Fuzai and Sun Fuzai, and when the Jiaozhi camp recovers, and when he understands the situation in the city, there will still be the next siege.
He counted the time to transfer troops to Tanzhou in his heart, and involuntarily clenched his fists.
Even today, it's been half a day......
I don't know if the reinforcements will arrive in time, and whether the reinforcements this time will be of great use......
In the midst of the jubilation in the city, his heart was heavy, and he wanted to rest a little with his eyes closed, but he couldn't sleep—
Reinforcements, when will they arrive?
***
There was a sound of killing on the city walls.
However, it only stopped for three days, and Cochin began to siege the city again.
The north gate is different from the south gate, the city gate is small, the city wall is also small, and it is relatively easy to defend, but once the Jiaozhi soldiers go to the city, relying on the large number of soldiers, one after another begins to fight in close combat, but it is easier to be captured.
Wei Qi had already unloaded his bow and arrows, and he was holding a heavy hammer in his hand, and when he saw a cross-toed soldier emerging from the city wall, he struck the opponent on the head.
However, how can one enemy be ten enemies?
There is an endless stream of Jiaozhi soldiers, but the guards in the city are getting fewer and fewer.
