Chapter 69: The City Breaks
There were many tents set up in the open space in Liangzhou City, which were the people who had just fled from Dingxian. Several torches on the castle tower illuminated as if it were daylight, and soldiers and young men shouted trumpets, carrying equipment back and forth to strengthen the city defenses.
"There is not enough food and grass in the city, and the number of our troops is very different from Kohler, and it is estimated that it can only last for a day or two at most."
"Two days? If you can survive tomorrow, you can be regarded as burning high incense, and I don't know if the imperial court will send troops to arrive? However, there is nothing wrong with the horse leather shroud on the battlefield for many years. Vice Admiral Tian said self-deprecatingly.
"It's too early for Vice General Tian to draw conclusions, as long as he can survive these two days, reinforcements will arrive." Gan Sui said categorically.
Gan Sui has never been on the battlefield, but he understands that he can not show cowardice in battles with fewer battles, once the army's morale is shaken, the trend of defeat cannot be reversed, and as a foregone conclusion, he must be stable so that he will not lose so quickly.
He has a wife and children behind him, and there are countless people, and he can't afford to lose.
As the New Year approached, the weather had become more and more beautiful in the past few days, and Banxia had waited for most of the night and still couldn't come back, and she realized that the situation was critical. She found Shan Yu, "I know you have great ability, you are capable of taking Anzi out of the city, don't hesitate to take him away." ”
"What about you?" Shan Yu has been in the house for a few years, and Banxia is angry with people, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion at all.
"My husband is here, my home is here, I won't leave......"
"Then I'm not leaving!" Anzi suddenly pushed the door in, "Sister said that we are a family, do you want to leave me at a critical moment?" ”
"But Anzi, you're still young......"
"Sister, I'm not young anymore, I've been studying art for many years just to protect you one day, and I can do it this time. Besides, there is a brother-in-law sitting on the city floor, presumably the crisis is not too high, we all have to relax. ”
Banxia pulled out a smile and didn't insist on sending Anzi away again.
Night.
"General, we have arrived in Suizhou, and we will be able to reach Liangzhou tomorrow evening, do we still have to hurry tonight?"
Lin Tianyu looked at the tired soldiers behind him, and he could only say with anxiety in his heart: "Rest tonight, and go back tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
Gansui, I hope Liangzhou can last another day.
In winter, the day is late, the wind is strong in Liangzhou, and the cold wind blows people's faces painfully. The soldiers defending the city changed their guards, and returned to the city to have breakfast, which was a nest of miscellaneous grains, dry and rough, but no one cared about this, they all ate like a whirlwind, and then went back to sleep for a while, no one knew how long they could rest, and the enemy army would soon arrive.
The sun gradually rose, and Gan Sui stood solemnly on the tower in armor, which was so heavy that he was a little out of breath. It wasn't until this morning that they found out that General Mu had fled as early as yesterday.
The black oppressive army in the distance slowly approached, the Kohler people were good at riding, and at the front was a column of cavalry, getting closer and closer, and Gan Sui's eyes narrowed, "Pull!" ”
Several triphorse ropes drilled out of the ground, the galloping fierce horses could not contain the momentum of rushing forward at all, the neat formation was disrupted at once, the horses were tripped, the people fell from their horses, the heavy horses' hooves stepped on the people, the screams were endless, and the enemy's invincible attack was choked at once.
Soon, however, they drew their long knives and cut off the horses, and the infantry behind the cavalry came up with their spears in their hands, the glossy heads of which were a little glaring in the sunlight. "Warriors, continue to rush forward, and whoever cuts down five of the people of Liang will be rewarded with one tael of gold."
These soldiers, who had never seen even gold, rushed forward with a heavy reward, and the previously slightly lower offensive began to surge again. However, after rushing forward five meters, the rain of arrows covering the sky and face smashed over, and people kept falling to the ground with arrows, and the smell of blood came to the face, and the blood soaked the yellow sand on the ground, and the ground was scarlet. The soldiers in the rear had to step on the corpses of their comrades again, and the offensive was once again stopped.
The two setbacks annoyed General Namu a little, and he waved his hand to stop the attack and retreat five steps, and the two armies began to stalemate.
Today's sun is a little abnormally scorching, it is noon, it is a little people dare not look directly, there are few defenders of the city, stalemate all morning, at noon is to change people to hold on, but the enemy is eyeing the enemy at this moment once the change of defense will pounce.
Gan Sui began to change people in a small area, and at the same time, he paid close attention to the movements of the Kohlers, but after half a cup of tea, the enemy army attacked again as if it had been beaten with chicken blood. Most of the people who came were holding shields, and the effect of the rain of arrows began to weaken, and they ran closer and closer to the point that they even wanted to put the ladder on the city wall recently, and they could only be smashed with stones after they got closer, and a big stone went down, and a group of people fell, and then they rushed up, and everyone in Kohler took turns to attack, and most of the people who defended the city did not enter for half a day, and they barely supported it by a cavity of blood. Just when they couldn't hold on, the enemy finally withdrew their troops. Only then did the defenders relax and take the opportunity to eat something, and everyone understood that the hardest time was at night.
The enemy showed no signs of attacking until night, but it was more like the calm before the storm.
"General, we're running out of arrows."
"There aren't many rocks either."
Most of the supplies had been consumed by the battle of the day.
"Fetch the oil, boil it first."
The night swallowed up the last trace of dusk, and night fell.
A few cauldrons on the city tower were boiling boiling hot oil, and the road in front of the firelit city tower was bright, which was already their last bargaining chip.
The Kohlers finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to rush forward, just as they approached the city, several pots of hot oil were poured down instantly, the sound of flesh exploding sounded, and the screams were endless, and before it was over, the rockets quickly ignited the hot oil, and a person burned like a fireball, rolling on the ground, and the city turned into a sea of fire, and the smell of burnt meat was disgusting. The fire burned for an hour. The screams never stopped, and Gan Sui felt that his hands had been stained with the blood of countless people.
Namu was so angry by the successive defeats that he gritted his teeth and decided to take Liangzhou City tonight, and at this time the people he brought out had already lost three thousand.
"Whoever can storm the city and kill the enemy, three taels of gold." The chips increased suddenly, and many soldiers also understood that the people in the city had no other way to make such a big move just now, as long as they could attack it...... Silver, beauty......
A group of people rushed in as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, stepping on the charred corpses.
The people who took refuge in the city could hear the shouts of killing outside, and the timid children whimpered and cried.
Groups of people rushed up, the arrows ran out, the stones ran out, and they had to start hand-to-hand combat. Between life and death, Fang was even more bloody and brave, and Deputy General Yu never expected that he would be a scholar and kill the enemy without blinking.
The mantis arm was invincible when the car was finally defeated, and when Gan Sui heard the city gate collapse, a thought flashed in his heart, he actually failed to send Banxia and Anzi away first, it was a mistake.
The first to suffer were the helpless people, and the Kohlers, who were the first to rush in, saw the trembling people, and mentioned that they would directly stab one by one. The corpses fell to the ground, and more rebels came in and scattered into the city.
They are already familiar with attacking many counties, the better the buildings are built, the more money and beauties there are. The first to be breached was the General's Palace. They thought that Gan Sui was the master here, and the new hatred and old hatred were even more violent.
The general fled quietly with his wife, and the concubines and maidservants in the house were still there, these people had been fighting for several months, and they had not yet tasted the fragrance of their daughters, so they rushed forward with a lewd smile.
Liangzhou Mansion, the gate was closed, Lu Ying and Anzi stood at the door with long swords, and Shan Yu and Banxia were also holding long swords behind them. In the distance, I heard the screams of men, the cries of women, and the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and soon they were in front of the gate.
People began to bang on the door, Lu Ying began to hesitate, in this situation, how much chance of breaking through with Anzi is, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is impossible.
The gate was soon overwhelmed, but the people outside were even more menacing, and they firmly believed that this mansion would have the same wealth and beauty as the general's mansion just now.
The door slammed on the ground, kicking up a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, they found that there was someone carrying a long sword.
Lu Ying looked at it and looked like it was not easy to clean up, but Anzi looked childish, "Such a young child, I'm afraid I can't even hold the sword, hahaha...... There are even pregnant women, and the general likes to drink with babies the most. Later, we cut out her belly and presented it to the general. ”
Saying that, the big knife slashed directly at Anzi, with gravity, Anzi raised his sword and immediately stopped him, and directly kicked him out of the door.
The change came too quickly, but I didn't expect this cute little boy to be a hard stubble. The Kohler people outside the door were also shocked for a second, but they pounced faster, it doesn't matter if they have the ability, there are many of them, even if the wheel battle will kill them.
Several men pounced on Anzi and Lu Ying with long knives, and the rest went directly to the back, thinking that Banxia and Shan Yu would be able to capture them.
Shan Gardenia's skin is white, soft, one of them wants to reach out to touch his face, Shan Gardenia directly grabbed his hand, gently and skillfully kicked over, the person thought it was a beauty, but he didn't expect to be hit by the body only to find that the chest cavity was about to break. After being swept away by the long sword, he died.
Although Banxia's skills are not as good as theirs, they are more than enough to deal with these small soldiers. A few people came down, and dozens of soldiers were all cut down in an instant. The remaining people at the door began to panic, gathered the scattered soldiers and began to attack, the corpses were getting higher and higher, and after several scuffles, Banxia felt that she couldn't lift her hands, and several times it was Shan Yu and Anzi next to her who helped her stop the falling swords.
Looking up at the bright moon hanging high, the tip of her nose was full of blood, she felt that she was going to be unable to hold on, and she didn't know what happened to Gansui.
On the city tower, Gan Sui is and the soldiers who attacked him backhandedly slashed a soldier, after the city was broken, Deputy General Yu and Deputy General Tian have been protecting him, and now he is not much injured, he is most worried about Banxia, she is still pregnant, if the enemy army invades the house, it is tantamount to a dead end, he fights and retreats, and wants to return to the house. Suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and some soldiers looked at it, "Lin Jiajun...... Lin Jiajun is here......"
The Lin family's army rushed in like a bamboo, and Gan Sui took a horse by hand and galloped back home. When he rushed into the mansion gate, he just caught Banxia's fainted body, and the long fierce battle exhausted her, but fortunately, the reinforcements had arrived.
