Chapter 264: The last battle, Shouchun City is broken
The days have never stopped, step by step into December, in the blink of an eye, there are only about 20 days left from the end of the year, the Shouchun south of the Huai River has become extremely dry and cold at this time, on the head of the city, the mottled blood stains tell people about the cruelty of the war, and at this time in the city, the former prosperity is like dusk and sunset, the messy and decayed streets are silently complaining, and the occasional cold wind blowing, with a whining poignant, will bring this silence out of the far, far away.
In a dilapidated thatched hut, an old woman over forty years old was lying in a daze, looking at the empty thatched roof, beside her, a little girl who was only about ten years old was shivering against the edge of the bed, a thin dress could not stop the cold air blowing in wantonly, maybe it had been frozen for a long time, the little face was full of miserable white that could not be concealed, and in the eyes, there was no longer the agility of the past, and what was left was only a thick fear, and the numb godlessness.
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
Suddenly, a rumbling war drum sounded loudly, the girl seemed to be frightened, her already trembling body trembled even more, and her whole body trembled, and the old woman lying on the bed seemed to be unaware of this, her eyes were fixed and did not move at all, and a pool of dead air slowly rose from the depths of her eyes, and after a while, the girl seemed to calm down, but every time the drum sounded, the thin body always trembled inadvertently.
Unlike in the past, this time the drums did not stop quickly, and after beating for a quarter of an hour, the sound of shouting and killing slowly penetrated into the city, and the drums suddenly became louder, and the beating became even more violent.
At this time, it has been five days since Cao Cao and Zhuge Jin met, although it is impossible for the two to be completely open and honest in their hearts, they have basically reached a consensus, Zhuge Jin will give up the jade seal, and Cao Cao will transfer the place he captured along the road to Zhuge Jin, and he also promised Zhuge Jin a condition: no matter when and what, let the emperor die.
Cao Cao, who got his wish, returned satisfied, and Zhuge Jin also successfully got what he wanted, so after a few days of feints, the two families coincidentally began to prepare for the final attack, and today, this is the time.
"Sword and Shield Soldier Comes Forward ......"
"Rise from the well, ladder to keep up with ......"
"Rush the car, run, run......"
One order after another was issued in an orderly manner, Zhuge Jin and Cao Cao stood in one place, and the two ignored the other people who followed them, and looked at the war on the opposite side intently.
"Mengde, this time we are going to lose a lot." Seeing the elite soldiers who had been easily trained before fall under the city wall one by one, Zhuge Jin only felt that his heart was like a knife, you know, these were what he spent countless efforts to train.
"The end of the year is approaching, the soldiers have returned to their hearts, and this battle can no longer be delayed, otherwise what we did before will be all in vain." Cao Cao looked at it was actually very distressed, no one would think that he had too many soldiers, not to mention that he was not as good as Zhuge Jin, with the continuous supply and replenishment of the rear, and half of the soldiers he brought with him on this expedition had already stayed in Yuzhou forever, but every time he thought of the heirloom jade seal in Shouchun City, he felt that everything was worth it.
Based on this alone, Cao Cao is worthy of his title as a hero.
"Alas......" Speaking of the New Year, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh, Cao Cao's sentence suddenly hooked out the thoughts of everyone in his heart for everyone in his family.
"I don't know what happened to everyone in the family?" Every time I think of the addition of a few children to the family, Zhuge Jin's heart is always warm, although the letter from the family did not say the details, but the news of peace was brought over.
"No matter what the cause of the war, the most bitter thing is the people and these soldiers!" Retracting his mind, Zhuge Jin frowned and looked at the city wall in the distance, at this time, there were soldiers who had climbed up to the top of the city, also for survival, the cruel bloody battle was fighting, for a long time, Zhuge Jin sighed with feeling.
Cao Cao listened, but he was silent, as if he had just met Zhuge Jin, with some inexplicability in his eyes, he looked at him fixedly, and suddenly laughed after a long time: "Hahaha, I didn't expect Ziyu to have such a side, it's better to!" ”
As he spoke, Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched a few times, and his eyes suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, looking at the battlefield in the distance, and continued with high spirits: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, when he lifted a three-foot sword and made meritorious contributions thousands of miles away, how could he be willing to die (xǐnxǐnxiànxiàn) and die of old age?" Although I am not talented, I am willing to serve Wei Huo, gallop across the frontier, make the people safe, and the world will be decided. ”
"Okay." Even Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be impressed by Cao Cao's bearing, Cao Cao at this time was full of high fighting spirit, which made people feel shocked.
"Mengde's ambition is really a model for my generation, the Huns, Xianbei and other barbarians will not die, my Han Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and there has never been a day of peace in the frontier, in this life, I will definitely take Mengde's ambition as an example, and seek well-being for the people of the world throughout my life." As if to get Cao Cao's approval, Zhuge Jin did not hesitate to respect Cao Cao and shouted loudly.
"Hahaha...... Ziyu is a friend, and there are no regrets in this life. Zhuge Jin's words suddenly pushed Cao Cao's already high emotions to a higher level, and Cao Cao immediately burst out laughing.
"Kill the ......" a earth-shattering shout of killing kept echoing under the sky, war, after the soldiers began to climb to the city wall, they entered the blazing white-knuckle battle, no mercy, no dodge, some just indomitable collision.
"Kill ......" At this time, perceiving the strangeness of Cao Cao and Zhuge Jin, Liu Bei and the others suddenly became unsightly, without the slightest hesitation, and when the flag waved, the scattered war drums suddenly changed, and a strong battle intent erupted, and the morale of the soldiers who were attacking the city was greatly boosted, shouting and fighting.
Seeing this, Zhuge Jin and Cao Cao couldn't help but glance at each other, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths: "Have you finally found out?" ”
Unfortunately, it's already a little late.
"Kill ......" on the city, Cao Cao's army with the siege of the city is Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin two generals, Zhuge Jin personally attacked the city is Guan Yu, Huang Zhong two generals, after rushing to the city, the four of them are like four sharp knives, almost in an instant Yuan Shujun on the city head into several sections.
The north gate, as the key gate of Yuan Shujun's defense, fell into a desperate situation.
Life seemed so pale at this moment, and the blood gushing out once again stained the city, surging out endlessly.
"Kill ......" Whether it is the soldiers of Yuan Shujun, or the soldiers under Cao Cao and Zhuge Jin, at this time, the two sides have already killed with red eyes, no fear, numb and crazy slashing, as for what they are doing this, they have long forgotten.
At the head of the city, Zhang Xun looked at the four generals who were like no one, only felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't raise a trace of courage to step forward to block, looking at the scene of the chaotic battle in the city, he knew in his heart that this time, it was really more than lucky.
"Go to the palace and tell the lord that there is no one attacking in Nancheng, let him escape from Nancheng immediately, no matter how late, it will be too late." Zhang Xun's mouth, hoarse shouting, continuous war, the more than 100,000 soldiers in the city to wear out half, relying on these people to guard Shouchun, there is no hope, at this time he can think of is to do his best to stop the enemy from marching, as for how long he can resist, he is not a little sure in his heart.
"You go, let me take care of it here, and protect the lord." Ji Ling shook off Zhang Xun, there used to be a lot of estrangement between the two, it was this war that made the two of them support each other, both of them knew very well what it meant to stay at this time, unconsciously, they gave up the hope of survival to each other.
"General......" In Zhang Xun's eyes, bean-sized tears rolled down, looking at the precarious battle at the head of the city, he stared at Ji Ling seriously, gritted his teeth and turned away.
"Killing ......" had no worries, Ji Ling suddenly seemed to surpass himself at this time, only felt that his strength was infinite, and rushed forward with a loud shout.
He didn't go looking for four generals to fight, with one enemy and four, let alone him, he was afraid that it was Lu Bu, and he didn't dare to compete with the four, Ji Ling was like a slippery loach, wantonly destroying on the battlefield, where the war was urgent, he ran to where to rescue, but he didn't think about it, under the desperate rush, he actually let him stabilize the situation in the city for a short time.
"Knock ......" At this moment, there was a shaking of the city, and then a loud cheer rang out, but it turned out that without the hindrance of the soldiers at the head of the city, Yan Liang had already commanded the rushing car to successfully knock the gate of the north city open.
Until this time, there was basically no suspense in the war, and until this time, Yuan Shu had never been seen to come to find out.
But it was said that Zhang Xun got off the city, didn't care about the blood stains all over his body, and ran straight to the palace, in front of the palace gate, the guards were about to stop him, but Zhang Xun had already run inside.
"Your Majesty, which palace is Your Majesty in?" After running around indiscriminately for a while, Zhang Xun suddenly thought that he didn't know where Yuan Shu was, so he stretched out his hand and dragged a palace maid not far away, and asked loudly.
"Ah...... No, I don't know, don't kill me, don't kill me......" It's just that, looking at the bloody man in front of her, the palace maid was already horrified, and after screaming nervously, she couldn't stop begging for mercy.
......Seeing that he couldn't ask anything at all, Zhang Xun anxiously threw her to the ground and blindly searched for her again.
"Ah~ah~Oh......" Suddenly, Zhang Xun was walking, only to hear a high moan, mixed with the man's gasp, Zhang Xun, who was running to find Yuan Shu, turned his face pale.
......A low roar sounded, followed by a thumping sound, and then everything fell silent......
