Chapter 112: Reinforcements
Medicine Knot Tongxin 112_Chapter 112 Reinforcements from Bayi Chinese Network (.) At the moment of the battle, the Tartars who came from the horse retreated, and compared with the Great Zhou Guards on the side of the city gate, they suffered very little damage, so they looked random and complacent.
"Listen, the people at the gates!"
A man dressed as a Great Zhou man urged his horse from the Tartar procession, turned around under the city gate, raised his head and shouted at the city gate, with an obvious Datong accent.
"Tell you, my lord, open the city gate quickly, our Dajin lord Rao Er will not die..."
Hearing his words, the guards at the city gate couldn't help but spit out.
"This son of a bitch has already changed its species, and we have a lot of gold...."Everyone scolded in a low voice.
Listen to the men under the gate shouting.
ββ¦β¦ If we don't open the door, we're going to go to the city, and when the time comes... Think about the consequences! β
The man repeated this sentence several times under the city gate before running back to the group not far away.
A middle-aged man in armor standing in the middle of the city wall and guarded by several guards also withdrew his gaze.
This is Zhangjiabao's management team, that is, the supreme commander of the guard post responsible for the security and defense of Xie County.
"Where's the magistrate?" He asked, turning his head.
Since learning that the Tartars had entered the country, Nazhi County hid in the county government and did not dare to come out.
"Every family has to go out to protect the city, how can he, as the lord of a county, shrink his head like a turtle?" The captain shouted angrily.
It's just that the city gate road is no longer boosting morale, and he didn't even send a family group, how could he be so unlucky to be such a parent official, especially compared to the previous magistrate.....
"Go, just say what Lao Tzu said, if you don't send someone to defend the city, Lao Tzu will pay his county government first!" The team shouted.
Then some of the soldiers responded, and they went with people hula.
"Your Excellency. My lord, there are quite a few of these Tartars. If we really attack the city, we won't be able to hold it for long..."A guard came over and whispered.
The team was distraught and looked out again, looking at the people who had retreated but were clearly in the queue.
This is the vanguard of the Tartars, although there are less than a thousand people, but they are all hard stubble.
"How long have those who asked for help gone?" He asked.
"It's been two days." The guard replied, looking dejected.
It's been two days, and people have been sent to the townships and forts around the Fucheng Guard, and one round trip is enough according to the distance. But so far, there has not been any reinforcements.
"My lord, who is willing to send troops to the rescue, this is the elite soldier of the Tartars....." The soldier whispered with a sad face.
Hold on to the city. It is protected by walls. is condescending again, everyone still has some chance of winning against the Tartars, and the worst thing is to boil. The Tartars have no supplies, and if they can't attack for a day or two, they will find another place, but if they rush out of the fortified city, they will fight the Tartars face to face......
As far as these forts around Xie County are concerned, I'm afraid there are no such stupid officers and soldiers.
The team obviously knew this, too, and replaced him. If you receive a request for help from another county, you will only treat it as if you have not received it. His face darkened, and his gaze returned to the Tartar ranks outside the city.
In the Tartar procession, under the flagpole in front of the center, there were two leaders in bright armor, who were pointing to this side with the weapons in their hands at this time, and they didn't know what they said, and the people around them seemed to burst into laughter.
From a distance, I couldn't hear their laughter clearly, but looking at the description made the team even more annoyed.
"My lord, we are more numerous than them, I don't think they have the tools to enter the city, even if there are no reinforcements coming, let's defend for a few days, if they can't attack it, they will naturally leave..."
can only think like this, the team has a gloomy face.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency.." Two pro-soldiers rushed up from under the city gate, their faces pale, "The magistrate has run away...."
"What?" The team was furious.
"There is no one in the county government at all, let's rush in, only two old handymen are hiding in the master's room, saying that the master asked them to pretend... The county lord ran away in those big households three days ago..."The pro-soldier said.
"This bale!" The pipe team jumped.
The county lords all ran away, and the faces of the guards at the city gate suddenly became even more ugly.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" The soldiers hurriedly whispered, "Don't leak the news again..."
Otherwise, the morale will be in chaos....
The management team quickly calmed down, and the news that the county master of Yan Ming had run away could not be disclosed, and the violators of military law were dealt with, and everyone responded with pale faces.
At this moment, there was a riot on the city walls.
"The Tartars have attacked!" The guards shouted in a frenzy.
Everyone looked, and sure enough, they saw that the group of Tartars who had originally returned to the team began to advance again, this time it was different from the last time when only one or two hundred people came to shoot arrows, but all pressed on, and walked closer and closer, and everyone could see that behind the cavalry and infantry, there was even a column of auxiliaries pushing the cart.
"It's a ladder! It's a ladder! There were soldiers at the gate who could not help but shout, their faces frightened and their voices hoarse.
This means that these Tartars are not simply besieging the city, but will definitely go to the city.
Everyone, including the pipeline, turned pale.
The first round of arrow rain came with everyone's momentary gaffe.
"Fight! War is death, not fighting is death, sooner or later it will be death, it is men who will die hard for me! The team shouted, pulling out their waist swords, "Order all teams and people to prepare for battle in the city." β
Although the people under the city gate could not see the specific situation, they also knew what was happening when they saw the continuous people rushing towards the city wall, and the people being shouted to carry stones and logs on their backs or carry stones and logs to the city wall.
"The Tartars are coming to the city.."
The news spread quickly.
"It's a dead deal." The people stood dumbfounded.
"Big sister.." Song Langzhong's voice sounded behind him.
Liu Meibao, who was watching a group of people running over, turned around and saw that Song Langzhong's face was weak and there were blood stains on his hands.
"Uncle, what more medicine do you need? I'm going to do it. She said immediately.
Song Langzhong looked at him with a little pity and a little sigh.
"No, it's enough." He said slowly, with tears shining in his eyes, "You go and find it, and sit with your aunt and brother." β
When dying. With your family, you won't be alone on Huangquan Road.
Liu Meibao was stunned. I felt the despair in Song Langzhong.
"Uncle, maybe, maybeβ" she squeezed out a slight smile, "There are reinforcements coming..."
Song Langzhong's tears could no longer be held back, wetting his sparse beard.
"Sister, your father didn't wait for reinforcements back then, and now we still can't wait for reinforcements..."
With his words, sobs sounded all around, from small to large and from less to more. The cries mingled with the sounds of fighting.
β.. Brothers, kill the Tartars! β
The team swung their swords and slashed away a Tartar soldier who had just climbed up the ladder, and there were less than a hundred people left on the city gate at this time, and no one was afraid at this time. Under the onslaught of arrows under the city gates. Crazy blocking the tartars who were about to climb up.
On the other side, a group of strong families, both old and young. They didn't use weapons, they ran out of stones, they ran out of logs, grabbed everything they could and threw them under the city gates.
Zhou Liangyu also had an arrow cluster stuck in his arm, he didn't seem to feel pain, and he couldn't scratch anything for a long time. Simply pulled it on the ground, and a dead soldier pushed it down.
The corpse rolled down with a half-crawling tartar.
There is one less, Zhou Liangyu said in his heart. He looked down and saw more Tartars rushing under the ladder, and when he looked up again, it was already getting dark.
I'll never see tomorrow's sun again... He thought in his heart, he wanted to look back to see if he could take another look at his mother and sister, his mother must have been ready, and he would take his sister to commit suicide the moment the city broke, so as not to be humiliated....
In the end, the family is together, in fact, it is also very good, a smile appeared on Zhou Liangyu's lips, and he dragged a dead corpse again, and he often smashed it under the city wall, and suddenly saw a riot in the Tartars under the city gate.
The cavalry, who had been standing behind the infantry and only responsible for archery, stopped and turned their heads to look back.
In the distance, there seemed to be smoke, and the fog gradually dissipated, and groups of cavalry appeared, and there were bright Da Zhou flags fluttering in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"It's reinforcements! It's reinforcements! There was silence at the gates, and then a shout of cheer soon turned into a wail.
The procession marched very fast, and after the cavalry, a neat square formation could be seen, with spears like a forest.
The siege of the Tartars faded like water and turned to meet the comers.
Zhou Liangyu only felt that he couldn't breathe, he stared wide-eyed, looking at the word "Yanxun" written on the flag that was getting closer and closer.
The roar on the walls suddenly subsided, but the fighting outside grew stronger.
It's over, and the defenders on the walls are finally dead.....
The fathers and villagers in the city all poured out such a thought.
"you, we'll see you in the next life." A man untied his belt and said to his daughter-in-law next to him in a choked voice.
The daughter-in-law burst into tears, but she was not afraid, but just hugged the child in her arms tightly.
"Mother, where are we going?" The child blinked and sucked his dirty fingers, and asked without a hint of sadness.
"It's just. . . Poor child.." At last the woman could not hold back her tears.
"Let's go on the road together as a family, otherwise we will all be separated on Huangquan Road..."The man said with tears in his eyes, gritting his teeth and putting the belt around the child's neck.
"His father.." The woman wept and clung to the belt.
Liu Meibao on the side only looked suffocated, and her body couldn't help but tremble, is she really going to die.....
"Your brother, you must have left first...."Song Sanniang said in a low voice, looking up at the high city wall, which was scattered with countless corpses, swords, guns and arrows.
She pulled a dagger out of her sleeve and was about to stab it in the heart.
"Auntie.." Liu Meibao hugged her hand tightly.
"How?" Song Sanniang looked at her, "Then you come first." β
Seeing the knife being handed over, Liu Meibao twitched.
"Why don't you run to the city and see if you can find a place to hide if you're lucky..."A smile appeared on Song Sanniang's face, and she withdrew her knife again, "I have to leave you this time, their father and son have already left, I have to accompany them...."
Liu Meibao's tears flowed down.
At this moment, there was a howl on the city wall, and a group of people, soldiers and people, old and young, rushed down from above.
"Not dead yet?" The eyes of the desperate people suddenly lit up again.
Watch as the group of people rushed towards the city gates.
Reinforcements? There are reinforcements!
When the news spread, the people of the city were stunned at first, but then they cheered, and the gates were opened.
ββ¦ Kill the thief! β
The people who survived the catastrophe no longer had a trace of timidity, but rushed out frantically.
The gates were wide open, and the sound of fighting was deafening. (To be continued)
