Chapter Twenty-Five: Yongdu Blood Snow
readx;?“ My lord, the southern wall of Yongdu City was breached by Bai Ma Qiang!! "Su Teng, who was responsible for leading a team of scouts to reconnoiter the situation ahead, quickly rode back to Zhang Jiashi's side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhang Jiashi heard this, he looked at the direction of Yongdu City, where smoke was rising, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "Let all the soldiers bury the pot and cook! We will support Yongdu in half an hour!"
The situation in Yongdu is very critical, but Zhang Jiashi's troops can be said to have rushed here from Shangtai County and are already very tired. If you don't take a break, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue fighting.
The senior officers of the Qin Army, including Ruan Weng Shao and others, who kept gathering around Zhang Jiashi, heard these words and looked at each other with a look at each other, Ruan Weng Shao took a deep breath and said loudly: "My lord, we can still hold on to fighting. Yongdu, as the hometown of our Great Qin, is of extraordinary significance!"
"I naturally know this! However, there is nothing wrong with you as professionals, but what about them? The officers under your command are just ordinary people, and even if they can fight under this situation, how long can they last?" Zhang Jiashi pointed to the more than 5,000 officers and soldiers behind him whose tired faces were quite obvious, and slowly shook his head:
"Go ahead and prepare the pot to cook, if things really get out of hand, Captain Pontus will take care of it. ”
After Zhang Jiashi said this, he asked these senior officers who rushed to his side to quickly go back and make arrangements.
Ruan Weng Shao and the others glanced at each other, and then hugged their fists at Zhang Jiashi: "Oh!"
Chen Ping, Xiao He and the others, after looking at Zhang Jiashi, glanced at each other, and the complexity in their eyes was clear at a glance.
In fact, those of them who were sitting in the carriage felt a little tired, not to mention most of the Qin military officers who could only rely on their feet to travel long distances.
Although it was relatively easy to rush these days, for the 5,000 officers and men, who were mainly material officers, the overall physical strength was still consumed to a certain extent.
Of course, the few of them also saw it, but there was a trace of joy and worry in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Jiashi, who gave this order......
Happily, Zhang Jiashi is not an unrealistic person. What worries me is that His Majesty the First Emperor probably won't let go of Zhang Jiashi, who delayed the fighter, so easily.
It can be said that Zhang Jiashi's future has been clouded with a layer of uncertain clouds.
But compared to the troublesome things after that, now in front of the more than 5,000 people under Zhang Jiashi, how to face the next battle.
......
And the herald messenger looked at Zhang Jiashi, and was silent for a while before saying, "Zhang Duwei, you are doing this......"
"I know that if I do this, it is very likely that I will be reprimanded or even ...... by His Majesty" Zhang Jiashi did not continue, but turned back to face those officers and soldiers, and said slowly: "I am also their captain, I can't let them die directly." Maybe, I can't do anything in half an hour, but I want to make more people and maybe survive the next battle, that's what I want to do. ”
The herald envoy looked at Zhang Jiashi, shook his head slightly, and then arched his hand to Zhang Jiashi: "Duwei Zhang, I will report to Your Majesty truthfully." This is the duty of the office. ”
Zhang knows. But Zhang has already made this decision, and there is no room for regret. Farewell!"
Zhang Jiashi bowed his hand to the herald, rode the red cloud, turned back to the team, and supervised the team to bury the pot and cook.
"Captain Zhang, take care. The herald looked at Zhang Jiashi's background, arched his hand slightly, and muttered this sentence.
"My lord, what are we going to do next?" asked a herald to the messenger.
"Back to Xianyang. Report everything to Your Majesty. The herald looked at Zhang Jiashi, who had disappeared into the crowd of the Qin army, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the east of Hexi Road.

"Kill all the Qin dogs!! a white horse Qiang warrior riding on a white horse waved a bronze spear in his hand, and then commanded his subordinates to attack the Qin army troops entrenched in front of the gate of Dazheng Palace.
"Don't let them come, crossbowmen, shoot me !!" A Qin army of five hundred masters, wiped the blood splashed on his face, he looked at more and more Qiang people with fire in his eyes, and said loudly: "Defend the Great Zheng Palace! Don't let the Qiang people fight down!!"
In the sky, a rather sparse bow and crossbow arrow suddenly appeared, shooting towards the Qiang team.
Several Qiang knights were shot off their horses, but in response to the Qin army, hundreds or thousands of bows and arrows were densely packed......
The five hundred lords desperately blocked the arrows that kept flying, but the number of arrows of the helpless Qiang people was too many, and they came one after another, and the five hundred lords heard the screams of the remnants of the officers and soldiers behind him, and suddenly felt that his thighs and body were in severe pain one after another.
He had to bend down and post his sword on the ground, supporting his body. The Five Hundred Lords, who slowly spewed out a mouthful of blood, raised their heads, looked at the white horse Qiang who kept riding over, and finally said loudly: "I will wait for you Qiang dogs in hell! The thousands of warriors of Great Qin will not sit idly by and watch such a thing! Great Qin will be !! for thousands of generations."
The Five Hundred Lord said this, looking at the dozen spears that were stabbing at him diagonally, and showed a hint of a smile......
......
The south gate of Yongdu was lost, and the Qiang people continued to rush into the Yongdu city, and the Qin army and the Qiang troops continued to fight fiercely in the streets of Yongdu City and the passages on the city wall.
However, the Qin army, which was getting smaller and smaller in numbers, could only retreat to the north under the fierce offensive of the Qiang people.
Dazheng Palace, as well as many key areas of Yongdu City, have lost contact. In fact, the Yongdu County Commander, the county lieutenant, and the two two or five hundred lords had already been killed. Four five hundred lords, in addition to one commanding the troops to defend the Zongmiao area, the other three five hundred lords, two died on the city wall, and one died in front of the gate of Dazheng Palace.
The entire Yongdu City is stubbornly defended, and it seems that it is only a matter of time.
Because of the Baimaqiang who attacked Yongdu this time, there were 40,000 people.
After repelling several offensives by Baimaqiang, the Qin army mobilized from Nancheng and the eastern and western cities, which also suffered heavy casualties, was directly driven down the wall of Nancheng by the Qiang people without the support of the Qin army's 500 county soldiers in the north of Yongdu City.
Because of this, the southern city was directly occupied by a road that Bai Maqiang had piled up with corpses.
The last 500 lords were the commander of the north gate of Yongdu, he led the troops, and after seeing the other 500 lords who came from the west gate, he quickly made a decision, one was responsible for guarding the Dazheng Palace, and the other was responsible for protecting the temple.
They no longer care about the lives of civilians, because they are now powerless to protect civilians, and can only do their last duty to protect the two most important areas of Yongdu.
Where are the reinforcements?
I'm afraid that the fastest and most powerful reinforcements will have to arrive a day later, and the other county soldiers of Neishi County will not be able to directly face these tens of thousands of Bai Maqiang. Reinforcements of hundreds of people and hundreds of people can only jump into the trap of Yongdu like adding oil.
The speed at which Yongdu fell so quickly was not that the defenders did not do their best, but that the appearance of these tens of thousands of Qiang people was too fast and too weird, as if they suddenly fell from the sky, and appeared directly in an area less than ten miles outside Yongdu City. They couldn't react effectively at all, so they could only quickly close the city gate and cage the city after sending out the cavalry for help.
They didn't expect that the Qiang attack was completely disregarding casualties, and mainly focused on attacking the southern city wall. The county lieutenant of Yongdu could only transfer the defenders of the eastern and western cities to consolidate the defense.
In fact, this cannot be regarded as a tactical mistake of the Yongdu County Lieutenant, in fact, there are only about 2,000 county soldiers plus more than 1,000 people who have been urgently summoned, and even the weapons have not had time to be distributed, and it is simply a difficult thing to defend Yongdu.
Because even if the Qiang people are not attacking in waves, but besieging from all sides, it is impossible for Yongdu to hold it, so it takes the Qiang people to break through the city defense of Yongdu.
In less than a day, Yongdu was declared lost, and the remnants of the defenders were constantly oppressed by the Qiang people and turned into street fighting. In fact, such a thing has long been doomed.
......
"My lord!" a hundred generals of the Qin army, who leaned on the wall in the Zongmiao area and repelled another offensive launched by the Qiang people with his colleagues, looked at the five hundred lords who were also injured lightly with a pale face, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, covered the wound caused by the piercing of the armor piece in his abdomen, and said slowly: "Do we have reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements will be ...... But...... Ahem, I'm afraid, all they can do is collect our bodies. The five hundred lords of the Qin army coughed suddenly, and a trace of blood continued to flow out of his lips, and then slowly dripped to the ground along his beard stained with dust and blood.
"Why didn't anyone come to help?" said the general hatefully.
After hearing this, the five hundred lords showed a wry smile: "It's not that no one came to support, but if they want to come, it's like sending them to death." The only force that can fight against this Qiang is probably the Weiwei Army. However, the transfer of the Guard Corps was not an easy task. Moreover, as the guard of Xianyang, the guard army is even more inviolable. It can be said that our death is very unjust, but it is not something that can be resentful of others standing by. ”
"Your Excellency......" The hundred generals looked at their commander in a daze, because he saw the commander he had known for many years, and after saying this, his head was lowered......
And he silently supported his body, which was also getting more and more tired from excessive blood loss, stood up, and bowed slightly to the five hundred masters.
At this time, a commander of the Qin army, who was in charge of observing the situation, shouted loudly again: "Qiang dog is here again!!"
The remnants of more than a hundred Qin troops picked up their weapons again and slowly stood up from the resting place again.
I don't know who it was, but I sang a song first, and the others followed along.
In the area where the battle was fought again, the following song sounded:
Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!
How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!
Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!
Their singing gradually disappeared in the killing of the Qiang people......
However, the last trace of their singing also reached another Qin army......
......
After Zhang Jiashi let the troops rush into the north of Yongdu, he seemed to hear someone singing "Qin Feng Wuyi" in the noisy Yongdu, he silently looked at the sky, and then looked at the Qiang troops that appeared in front of him, and said loudly: "Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
The Qin army under Zhang Jiashi, under the command of Zhang Jiashi, entered a fierce battle with Baimaqiang, which was not far from the north gate.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In a temporary camp in the south of Yongdu City, Chi Si, the leader of Baimaqiang, slowly raised a bowl of wine, faced a beautiful and heroic girl, and then drank it all.
After putting down the wine bowl, Chi Si smiled slightly: "This time, thanks to the help of Princess Cortiri's strangers, otherwise, it would be impossible for us to break through Yongdu." But there is one thing that Xiao Wang is very puzzled. That's why Princess Cortiri's talented people seem to have disappeared in an instant?"
The maiden, known as Cortiri, shook her head, she gently pinched her whip and sighed, "I don't understand this either. Maybe it's because these Inhumans consume too much, so they all go back to their seclusion to recuperate. ”
In fact, Cortiri didn't know who the sorcerers she had brought with her were sacred, but the shaman of the tribe said to her before leaving, "This is an edict from Pegasus, and the princess can trust them." ”
As a result, the strength of these people really surprised Cortili, and it was the credit of these warlocks that they crossed the Qin Mountains without being discovered by the Qin people's patrol troops and the garrison officers and soldiers of the city fortress.
Of course, if Cortiri knew that those warlocks did not go back on their own, but were all destroyed by several humanoid bodies, it is estimated that he would not have been so easy.
Chi Si nodded, and after a maid poured the wine to the brim, she raised the wine bowl again: "Come, princess, let us let Qin Gou, who was hit and lose his prestige, drink it all this time." ”
Cortiri nodded, then reached for the wine bowl in front of the low table.
And just as the two of them raised the wine bowl, a Qiang knight quickly rode his horse to the front of the camp, and then turned over and dismounted: "Report! Qin Dog has come to reinforcements!"
Chi Si looked at the herald slowly, and then waved his hand indifferently: "What can Qin Gou do when he comes to reinforcements?
However, the herald's next sentence caused Chi Si to knock over the wine bowl in his hand, and the yellow wine slowly flowed on the table top of the low table, and then dripped to the ground......
"Report to the chief! Qin Dog has sent reinforcements, even more than the defenders of Yongdu, and the warriors who fought with the other side have suffered heavy casualties! They were even driven back to the vicinity of Dazheng Palace by the enemy!!
"This is impossible, where did Qin Gou get reinforcements!! Chi Si stood up directly, and then looked at the warrior under his command, he said viciously: "You are lying! Someone! Drag him down, behead him, and then abandon his corpse in the wilderness!!"
Before the herald's face changed so much could beg for mercy for him, Cortiri frowned and said slowly, "What he said may be true. ”
After hearing this, Chi Si shook his head: "Princess Cortili, isn't such a thing impossible? If Xiao Wang is not mistaken, but the aliens under your command have personally said that the only ones who can resist the warriors under Xiao Wang's command are Qin Gou's capital guards. ”
Cortiri didn't directly say her opinion, but stood up and said to Chisi: "Leader Chisi, Cortiri hopes to go to Yongdu to have a look. ”
Without waiting for Chi Si to react to the meaning of Cortiri's words, the latter directly called the herald who happened to be caught by the two Qiang guards, and said, "You, show me the way!"
......
At this time, the 5,000 troops under Zhang Jiashi's command, except for the hundreds of guards soldiers who were left by Zhang Jiashi to protect Chen Ping and Xiao He and other civilian officials who had no combat effectiveness, the others, under the leadership of Zhang Jiashi, directly broke into the north gate of Yongdu, which was already empty and the city gate was opened by Zhang Jiashi's troops.
A large number of Qin troops, under the command of their respective officers, were constantly engaged in melee battles with the Qiang troops.
At this time, Zhang Jiashi was leading a team of 1,000 people under Ruan Weng Shao to launch a fierce attack on the Zongmiao District.
It wasn't that Zhang Jiashi didn't want to wait for more troops to arrive before launching the offensive, but after he saw the flames being lit in the direction of Zongmiao, he cursed in his heart: "Damn! This is too fast, right?"
So, the troops led by Zhang Jiashi rushed directly to the Zongmiao area.
Although Zhang Jiashi was the head of the First Army, under such circumstances, Zhang Jiashi did not sit in the safe area behind and wait for news, but tried his best to override public opinion and directly lead the troops to take the lead.
Zhang Jiashi wielded the triangular thick back knife made from the Wanxian military camp, and kept slashing at the Qiang people on Hongyun's body.
Except for some Qiang people who captured the weapons used by the Qin army's dead officers and soldiers to continue the battle, the Qiang troops who used inferior bronze or even wooden weapons could not stop the slashing of the triangular thick-backed knife weighing about 100 kilograms.
Zhang Jiashi doesn't remember how many Qiang cavalry were directly cut in two by directly taking weapons and leading people.
And some weaker Qiang professionals kept coming to besiege Zhang Jiashi, an obviously different Qin army officer.
However, they never imagined that Zhang Jiashi's mount was actually a strange beast, and once a professional approached them, this sturdy and unusually strong red horse often opened its mouth and spit out a black flame, burning some Qiang professionals who couldn't dodge and couldn't react at all into nothingness that didn't even seem to exist with coke.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi attacked so desperately, and his main target was at the Qin State Sect Temple, which was not far from him......
