Chapter Seventy-One: Only Success or Failure (I)

With Xie Houyin's order, the loud sound of gold soon spread throughout the battlefield, under the dark clouds, the enemies from the north hurriedly retreated, on the way because they were still being shot by the soldiers of Liangguo on the city wall on this side, and after leaving hundreds of corpses in plain white, they retreated to the rear in a gloomy manner.

Looking at the devastated city tower here, after a short silence, I don't know where it first started, and on the ten-mile defense line, a burst of cheers like a landslide and tsunami suddenly broke out.

Among them, there is not only the pleasure of successfully repelling the attacking enemy army, but also the necessary release after a long period of tension and suppression, and there is a sense of surprise, which comes from the fact that even they did not expect that this first battle would be successfully won by them!

Yes, before this, who would have thought that they could really defeat the enemy, even they had doubted themselves, but they did it anyway, even if it was only the enemy's first tentative attack, even if their own losses were actually not small.

Not to mention that after the battle just now, these people on the city wall were actually exhausted, their faces were pale, their eyes were in a trance, the arms that drew the bow had become numb, and the fingers that held the strings were already bloody and blurred.

Looking at the city wall again, it is also a mess, there are soldiers who lost their lives because of bad luck, and there are huge stones and crossbow arrows thrown by the opponent's catapults, ballistas and other siege equipment, crossbow arrows, etc., all of which are still on it at this moment, either inserted into the city bricks, or smashed on the city tower, and it is shocking to look at it from a distance.

Not to mention that whether it is the arrows in the quiver, or those huge crossbow arrows as thick as spears, and the boulders weighing thousands of catties, after the battle just now, they have been very seriously consumed, almost bottoming out.

If these enemies are ruthless and hold on, then the offensive on this side will have to be slowed down first because the logistics cannot keep up, and the fire suppression above the city tower will be lost, and then it will be really dangerous.

But there are not so many ifs in this world, and in any case, it is an established fact that they have won!

And this is also a very important victory, Liangguo is desperately needing, even if he knows that this is just a tentative attack by the enemy, but after all, they won, which is an extremely inspiring victory for the Liangzhou soldiers who have always had low morale!

Thinking that the Weijin coalition army went south to Yanzhou, attacking the city all the way, there is no one who can stand in the way, these are all information that the people of Liangzhou themselves know, so elite, the Yanzhou army that was blown up and down by the Liangguo country is not the enemy of the other party, but now it is their turn to be the Liangzhou soldiers who are pampered and have been lazy all their lives to be the opponents of others, so can there be anyone who is not apprehensive.

It's not that before this, there weren't too many people who fled directly, or those who surrendered with crooked thoughts, it must be regarded as the ancestor secretly blessed, so even if behind this victory, it is actually far from being as simple as it seems, but for these Liangzhou soldiers who are many of them are on the battlefield for the first time, it is definitely a commendable victory, at least, they are no longer so afraid of the enemy.

The so-called shadow of the famous tree of people, in many cases, people are actually scared away, not really knocked down, overcome fear, face the enemy, this is a very important part, the morale of an army, will greatly affect its combat effectiveness

After everyone cheered and celebrated, while the enemy had not yet attacked again, he hurried to rest and clean up the battlefield, but saw Wanyan Keni, who was wearing a suit of armor, with a group of loyal soldiers, hugging a person from the horse race road to the city tower.

This person's appearance is absolutely worthy of the words "Fengshen Handsome", although his temperament is very elegant, but there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, wearing a silver cloak outside, a set of white brocade strongsuit inside, and a circle of expensive fox fur around his neck, it is Gu Cang!

However, this "Gu Cang" is not like the real Gu Cang's skeletal and crumbling skeleton appearance, but more like a real Gu family's disciple, full of energy, between gestures, they all have their own majesty, dragon and tiger steps, and they are very imposing when they walk.

Wanyan Keni deliberately bent down to the side, flattering like a dog's legs, and suddenly turned his head, stared at a pair of stunning tiger eyes, looked at the soldiers who were so tired that they were sitting on the edge of the battlements and gasping for breath, and couldn't even get up, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze! Why don't you hurry up and meet the prince?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and looked at Yan Keni blankly, obviously not yet reacting.

Prince?

What prince?

What the hell is going on?

Wanyan Keni walked up quickly, stretched out his foot, and gently kicked a soldier who was stretching out his legs and leaning on the battlements, and said loudly: "Hurry up, the prince personally came from the capital to supervise the battle, how lucky are you to be able to pay homage to Tianyan, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

"Hey! General Wanyan doesn't have to be like this!"

Gu Cang suddenly walked over, then stretched out his hand, leaned over, and gently pressed the two soldiers who were struggling to get up from the ground, then raised his head and looked around, and said in a very sincere tone, "You are here today, for my Liangguo to throw your head and spill blood, how can I Gu Cang, how can I afford the courtesy of all heroes, if you want to salute, it should be me who comes to salute you, heroes, please accept Gu Cang's worship!"

After that, he really bent down like this, and then raised his hands high, and made a big salute to the soldiers on the left and right who had already looked stupid, and Wanyan Keni next to him looked at this scene with a low body, and immediately stepped forward with an embarrassed face and persuaded: "Prince, you 。。。。。。 ”

Gu Cang waved his hand very firmly, looked at the soldiers around him who were already moved, and said loudly: "Hey, General Wanyan doesn't need to say it anymore, you heroes, and put your mind to rest, there will be a big battle next, but I won't go, I, Gu Cang, will stand with all the heroes today, and with my flesh and blood, we will jointly build the Great Wall of my Great Cool, everyone is united, who dares to break it? Who said that I am cool and no one, and what I see in front of me today is full of heroes through the ages!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were moved beyond measure, and they all hurriedly struggled, supported each other and stood up tremblingly from the ground, their eyes were full of excited tears, and then they spontaneously began to shout: "Long live the Great Liang Wushuang! Long live the Great Liang Wushuang!"

Although the words are a little overstepping, but the whole Da Liang, who can not know that this is the future "Long Live Lord" of Da Liang, not to mention that at this time, who will deliberately care about this, if there is such a person, I am afraid that I will be divided under the anger of the masses

No, you can't.

"Alright, alright. ”

Wanyan Keni suddenly stretched out his hand, forcibly stopped everyone's cheers, and then invited Gu Cang: "The prince also comes here with the last general!"

After that, he and his subordinates, who had been with him since Yanzhou, took the lead in walking to the right, looking like that, it was obvious that he wanted to take Gu Cang to inspect the entire defense line together, and the news that the prince suddenly arrived and clearly said that he would fight side by side with them was also spread by ten or hundred, which quickly made the entire defense line boil again.

Not to mention the sudden burst out of the city wall, the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, Xie Houyin on the high platform suddenly smiled coldly, and then waved his hand violently, and ordered in a deep voice to the people next to him: "According to the previous arrangement, go and push out those prisoners!"

After a while, I heard the sound of loud drums and the sound of trumpets, which was evident to be another signal for marching, and then I saw a group of men with their hands tied, pushed and shoved very unceremoniously by the soldiers who defended the country behind, and stumbled forward.

These people are no one else, they are all prisoners specially captured by the patriots from Yanzhou, most of them are ordinary people who have no quarrel with the world, but there are also a small number of captured soldiers, who have been raised for more than half a month outside the border of Liangzhou, just for today.

Standing on the city wall and looking down, I saw a group of people who looked like ants, coming out of the opposing camp one after another, advancing this way.

Directly in front of this section of the ten-mile defense line, one by one because there was only one gruel a day to barely save their lives, hungry and yellow-skinned, almost unhuman, and people who walked swayingly, were pushed out as meat shields by the patriotic soldiers, although these people were unarmed, and looking at the weak physical state, the Liangguo soldiers here had to beat dozens of each other, but the pressure they brought to the Liangguo side was not much less than before.

The soldiers stationed at the checkpoint were all lying on the edge of the battlements, poking their heads out and looking down, looking at this scene, their faces were all hidden with anger, and they quickly guessed what each other meant.

First of all, these people are definitely not impersonated by the defenders themselves, not to mention that the weak appearance can't be faked, and the appearance of Yanzhou people is very different from people in other places, whether they are Yanzhou people, you can basically see at a glance, even if there are really some soldiers who defend the country, I am afraid that there are not many, the most important thing is that don't forget who is the main force defending the city now, that is the former Xiong Zhen army, in other words, the following group of people are almost all their hometown fathers, can you not recognize it?

What's more, even if you don't know, or pretend not to know, but these people are just going forward in a daze, you kill them, it's a waste of arrows, but it's impossible to look at it, the patriots just hide among them and wait to make it bad.

Besides, the time when Gu Cang appeared was also very interesting, since he appeared, unless he took the initiative to give up power, otherwise according to the rules, this command would definitely fall on him, even if Gu Cang was willing to take the initiative to give up the command to Wan Yan Keni, but whether it was now or afterwards, outsiders would still feel that it was Gu Cang who was the leading commander in this battle.

To put it bluntly, if they shoot these unarmed Da Liang people like this today, it will be a big blow to Gu Cang's reputation, but if they choose to ignore it, then what will go wrong after that, and Gu Cang will not be able to please him, so what should I do in this situation now?
