Chapter 68: Hold on
In a panic, Zheng Kexi was carried into the camp tent that had just been re-established, and it took a long time for the military doctor to revive Zheng Kexi.
"The thief of Xiyu, the thief!" Zheng Kexi scolded angrily as soon as he opened his eyes.
Since Zheng Kexi led the army to garrison 'Huguan', he has been subjected to various calculations by Min Feihan one after another, which can be described as heavy damage.
After relieving himself a little, Zheng Kexi reluctantly propped himself up: "Clean up as soon as possible, early tomorrow morning, storm the 'Huguan', no matter how much it costs, we must capture the 'Huguan' within three days!" ”
Zheng Kexi knew in his heart that even if he captured the 'Huguan' now, the army he led would not be able to rush to Luzhou, and the only thing was to occupy the 'Huguan', which could put some pressure on the army besieging Luzhou.
This is the only thing I can do at the moment, what I say is just a little closer, but it's better than nothing!
Early the next morning, more than 10,000 troops of Qiang Hou, under the personal command of Zheng Kexi, stormed the 'Huguan'!
The earth-shattering shouts of killing immediately drowned out this small pass.
From early in the morning, Min Feihan led the generals to defend the city wall, and the enemy army attacked the city wall several times, and then was repelled by the brave and invincible Ma Qianyuan, Teng Di, Chen Qigang, Wang Hu and others.
Although there are two major killing weapons, 'Muzhu Thunder' and 'Moon Chasing Repeater', more than 10,000 people desperately attacked, and the 'Muzhu Thunder' was quickly consumed.
Min Feihan looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and he estimated that the Qiang Hou army had attacked for a day, and it was almost to the limit!
"Order, after a while, the enemy army retreats slightly, and immediately start to change guards, and carry the wounded down to the hospital as soon as possible." Min Fei said.
Seeing that the offensive of the enemy forces under the city began to subside, Min Feihan breathed a long sigh of relief.
The walls, which were neat and clean yesterday, are now devastated and covered with blood and stumps.
The enemy and our soldiers who fell to the ground, some of them covered their wounds and wept timidly, and some of them held on to their wounds, and they were still fighting for each other's lords.
Min Feihan took a rough look, in today's battle, the number of enemy troops who died in the city under the city exceeded 3,000, and the soldiers on his side were injured, even if they were not before, I am afraid that they were more than 800.
There are only 2,000 defenders in the 'Huguan', plus the 1,000 cavalry battalions he brought, if he continues to wear and tear like this, it will not exceed three days, and he will definitely not be able to hold this pass!
"Report, my lord, our army has basically run out of crossbow arrows, and we will ...... tomorrow," a soldier hurriedly ran to report.
When Min Feihan heard this, he suddenly felt that his head was big, and he was already out of his reach, so he tried his best to support and stick to this pass.
But what does it mean that the crossbow bolts are exhausted now, a large number of people rushed to make them before, and Ma Yuexi led people to supervise the production of more than 10,000 pieces, why did they run out in just one day!?
Looking at Min Feihan's incredible gaze, the herald hurriedly explained: "Yes, it was someone who used the 'Wood Bamboo Thunder' to injure himself by mistake today, and even set fire to the place where the crossbow arrows were stored. ”
As soon as the soldier said this, Min Feihan remembered that just after noon today, when the battle on the city wall was being smoked, a few roars suddenly sounded in the pass, and later someone came to report that it was the 'Muzhu Thunder' that was accidentally bombed.
At that time, he was concerned about the fierce battle in the city, so he asked about the casualties superficially, but he didn't take into account the material aspect.
Min Feihan was angry in his heart, but he couldn't complain about others, and it was urgent to solve the matter now, so he didn't have time to hold anyone responsible.
"Collect as soon as possible from the corpses near the gates." Min Fei said.
This is no longer an impossible solution, even if it is rushed overnight, it is far from enough to meet tomorrow's needs.
After eating in a hurry, Min Feihan and a dozen soldiers didn't take a break, and personally inspected all parts of the pipe wall, and then gathered everyone to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
Zheng Kexi also took the generals at this time to discuss in the big tent.
"General, today our army is desperately attacking, although it has attacked the city wall several times, but it has been recaptured by the Xiyu people, it is not a way to do it in the long run, our losses are too great!"
"Yes! Today, in one day, our army lost more than 3,000 casualties, of which nearly 2,000 were killed and more than 600 were seriously wounded and could not fight again...... It's-"
Zheng Kexi listened to the words of several lieutenant generals, and his heart was also full of sorrow. He really didn't expect that in a small 'Huguan' place, the Xiyu soldiers guarding the pass would be able to withstand fierce battles so much, and the enemy generals guarding this pass were even more proficient in the way of defense.
"Repair overnight, tomorrow morning, continue the assault!"
Zheng Kexi became more and more unconvinced, and this afternoon he didn't see the city throwing that kind of powerful thing, which shows that the weapons of the Xiyu army are also limited.
Such an opportunity must not be missed, otherwise when the Xiyu army is replenished with this unknown weapon again, then there is really no possibility for his more than 10,000 troops to capture the 'Huguan'.
The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, Zheng Kexi gritted his teeth and decided to continue the attack tomorrow, he didn't believe it, without that thing, how long could the Xiyu people hold out!
When the sun rose in the sky, Zheng Kexi led the army to surround the 'Huguan' again and start a fierce fight.
Min Feihan also walked up to the city, looking at the soldiers guarding the gate with tired faces and red eyes, this is all tired, at this moment everyone is holding on to the body and will that is about to collapse, and they are stubbornly holding on.
Just yesterday, the fight was so fierce, and this was still a few calculations in a row to gain some upper hand. I really can't imagine that if the enemy army continued to attack so fiercely from the beginning, I am afraid that this 'Huguan' would not be able to hold it for a day!
also miscalculated with Zheng Kexi, and wanted to take the pass lightly, but Min Feihan took the opportunity to make all kinds of tricks, and even eliminated the gap between the two sides by narrowing the gap so much.
Zheng Kexi looked at a young general on the city pass, and after fighting for so long, he naturally recognized that person was the real guard of the 'Huguan'.
But it is precisely because of this that Zheng Kexi wonders in his heart, at such an age, he can repeatedly make himself suffer, if he does not get rid of this person as soon as possible, he will definitely add another strong opponent to Xiyu in the future!
Hooking his hand slightly at the back, Zheng Kexi rode on the horse and turned sideways gently: "When the siege begins, you hide in the rear and look for an opportunity to shoot the little general on the city wall to death with an arrow!" ”
"Yes!"
This man was an archer in the Qiang Hou army who was good at using a strong bow, and Zheng Kexi often took him with him when he saw that he was good at archery.
A quarter of an hour later, the whole army was ready, Zheng Kexi waved his hand, and the Qiang soldiers rushed towards the 'Huguan'.
Because yesterday's 'wood and bamboo thunder' had been exhausted, and most of the crossbow arrows were burned because of the mistakes of the soldiers, and after rescue and last night's collection under the city, there were only more than 3,000 pieces, so today's battle is really more difficult.
It wasn't until the enemy army stormed the city that Min Feihan gave the order to release arrows!
Without the 'Wood Bamboo Thunder', the enemy army also has fewer scruples, although the 'Moon Chasing Crossbow' is strong, but after all, it can still defend some with a good wooden escape.
In less than an hour, the Qiang Hou army broke through the defensive network on the city wall again and began to rush to the wall!
Min Feihan looked at the swarming enemy soldiers, and pulled out a special shuriken from his waist: "Kill the enemy army!" ”
Since Ma Yuexi decided to follow Min Feihan, except for sleeping at night, she has basically followed Min Feihan as her bodyguard.
Seeing the enemy army attacking the city wall, Min Feihan drew his sword and prepared to participate in the battle, Ma Yuexi naturally couldn't be idle.
But as soon as he was in front of Min Feihan, he was shot through his chest by a stray arrow.
The arrow came from the right armpit, pierced the right chest, and came out of the left back.
Because the leather armor is strong, the arrow passes through the body when it flies, and the strength gradually loses, and the arrow body remains on the body!
Min Feihan heard a strange sound behind the side and looked back: "Ma Yuexi!! ”
"Ahem-my lord, I see, yes, there are enemy soldiers who want to plot against you, be careful-"
After speaking, Ma Yuexi was immediately angry!
When Min Feihan heard this, he knew why Ma Yuexi suddenly rushed forward half a step just now, it turned out that he was actually trying to help himself block this arrow!
Tears fell down her cheeks in an instant, and Min Feihan helped Ma Yuexi, who had fallen softly, feeling that his hands were unable to exert his strength for a while.
"Leaping Creek!" Che Yu rushed over from the side and protected Min Feihan behind him.
Watching a few soldiers come up and carry Ma Yuexi's body down, Min Feihan regretted it for a while, blaming himself for being too careless, so that Ma Yuexi would block the arrow for himself!
Looking at the enemy troops on the city tower, Min Feihan hated so much that he wanted to kill these people in an instant.
"Che Yu, go find Du Ruming for me!" Min Feihan had tears in the corners of his mouth, and he endured his sorrow.
Hearing Min Feihan's command, Che Yu hesitated, he would follow Min Feihan's side, Ma Yuexi just blocked the arrow for Min Feihan, Che Yu saw it in his eyes, if he hadn't been a little farther away at the time, maybe it would be himself who would be lying here!
"But ......"
"Go find Du Ruming, right away!" Min Fei shouted with red eyes!
Deliberately pushed back again and again, and couldn't bear it again and again, Min Feihan was always reluctant to use the 'wooden bamboo mines' buried outside the gate, for fear that his hands would be covered with too much blood.
But now looking at the corpse of Ma Yuexi, who was lying on the ground, blocking the arrow in order to save his life, Min Feihan's heart was full of killing intent for the first time.
Tears dripped down Min Scarlet's cheeks again, and I regretted it!
War is so cruel, how can we talk about so much mercy, how can the enemy ever be kind once, and those soldiers who died in the city, who really deserve to die? But there are still so many people, fighting bloodily and harvesting the lives of those on the other side.
Looking at Min Feihan's eyes, Che Yuduxue trembled: "Yes, then you be careful, there seems to be someone in the city who is staring at you!" Don't show your head! ”
Min Feihan nodded slightly, knowing that what Che Yu said was right, the enemy was trying to stop him!
After a cup of tea, Che Yu escorted Du Ruming to the city tower.
"This-" Looking at Ma Yuexi's corpse, Du Ruming also froze.
"In the afternoon, when the enemy army retreated slightly, he ordered someone to ignite the gunpowder twist outside the city with fire arrows!" After Min Feihan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Che Yu again: "Go and tell Ma Qianyuan, go down to prepare the cavalry, after the buried 'Muzhu Thunder' explodes, lead the cavalry to rush out as soon as possible, and the 'Chasing Moon Repeater' will press the formation, I will capture the enemy generals alive!" ”
Che Yu and Du Ruming glanced at each other, it was the first time they saw such a Min Feihan, it seemed that Ma Yuexi was killed, which really stimulated this young man!
Min Scarlet Han is the youngest among them, but he is also the most weighty in speaking, and at this time, no one can object to Min Scarlet Han's words.
"Order!" Du Ruming was the first to bow his hand and receive the order.
Che Yu gritted his teeth and glanced at Ma Yuexi's body: "Yes, my subordinates will go and inform Captain Ma Du." ”
