Chapter 5: The Destruction of the City

Since the Huaiyang army besieged the city, they were harassed with crossbow arrows every day, and some people were shot by stray arrows, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

Thousands of people walked through it, like passing through a city without people.

Today, Shen Jing called for battle, and after the generals discussed the tea liao, the news that the Liangzhou army was preparing to fight to the death spread in the city. Some people have the courage to find a temporary camp in the city, and those who deliver food, and those who carry their own iron tools to go into battle with the Liangzhou army abound. Among them, there are even people who practice martial arts.

Relatives and friends died under the iron hooves of Beiyu, not only the Liangzhou army, but also the people of Liangzhou.

The commanders persuaded wave after wave, and the city gradually became lively. Until Wen sent a team of cavalry to inform all the squares and alleys that the battle was imminent, please block the gate and stay at home, so as not to detect the enemy's movements in the city. That's it.

Once defeated, although Shen Jing personally promised that after the Huaiyang army entered the city, the people would always have less worries about their lives at home than on the street.

Inevitably, the city was in turmoil before the battle, and the Liangzhou army, which pretended to flee from the past, was not publicized, and the people in the city thought that the eldest lady went into battle in person. I don't know what it can do, but after all, it is worthy of admiration.

There are two places inside and outside the city, and they are not afraid of news leakage.

Wen's hand holding the reins was already soaked with sweat, and she tried to straighten her back as much as she could, so that no one else could see it.

At the moment of life and death, how can you not be afraid.

Wen remembered that when he was young, he marched with his father to a mountain, and there was only one plank road above the ten thousand feet. Until she found that her younger brother Wen Xin next to her seemed to be more scared than her, a small person, with a pouting and wanted to reach out and grab her sister's clothes but didn't dare.

The fear in her heart vanished in an instant, and she reached out to grab her brother, and the two sisters and brothers walked forward side by side.

No fear can be defeated in the presence of those who need their protection.

It is the whole city and its people that need to be protected now.

There was a creak from a house on the side of the street, the door opened from the inside, and the orange light of the oil lamp came out, and a little girl poked her head out, and behind her stood her young parents, silently watching the group approach.

When the teacher at the front of the line walked by, the girl's father bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

Then, more and more doors were opened. More and more people walked to the door, to the window, and watched silently as the procession went.

At each step, the crowd saluted.

The people of Liangzhou, come and send their soldiers on the expedition!

The cold wind suddenly rose, blowing the corners of the old eyes painfully.

Wen raised the reins and urged the horse forward, and the last bit of fear in her heart was blown away.

Liangzhou is so. The abyss of ten thousand miles is also a smooth road.

When he arrived at the South City Gate, Zhixia was already waiting here.

"Miss, Uncle Wen has already made arrangements." Zhixia changed into a strong outfit and rode on a horse, and his long hair was tied up with a pink headband, which was quite heroic.

Wen Gu nodded: "Let's go." ”

"Yes, Miss." Zhixia responded with a smile, and then greeted the soldiers in a loud voice: "Open the city gate!" ”

The soldiers defending the city opened the city gate, and the shouts of killing behind Wen suddenly rose. The cavalry on both sides rushed out against the city gate. Wen Gu took a deep breath, drank a snort, and galloped out of the city.

Zhou Tong went out of the city one step ahead of her to line up, and he wanted to be a good soldier for them.

Outside the city gate, the Huaiyang army had been preparing for the battle for a long time, and when they saw that they rushed out, they immediately surrounded them and wanted to kill them on the spot.

A thousand Liangzhou soldiers guarded Wen in the formation, rushed left and right, and put on a posture of swearing to break through, although the Huaiyang army outside the southern city gate was ten times as large as them, they did not take advantage of it for a while.

And the old white clothes are particularly conspicuous in the silver and black armor array.

Someone in the Huaiyang army quickly recognized her: "It's a refreshment!" ”

"Miss Wen wants to run for her life!"

"Capture her alive!"

"Go and tell General Shen!"

The sound of shouting and killing is close to the ears, reminiscing about urging the horse, and blindly moving forward.

The scouts of the Huaiyang Army rushed out of the formation, one east and one west galloping to both sides.

They want to send a message to Shen Jing, in this case, the east and west sides should not all support the North City Gate, and Zhou Tong's pressure will be less.

Her life is the credit of the Huaiyang Army, and it is also their future, and it is also a trap prepared for them.

The offensive was a little more fierce, and nearly half of the 1,000 Liangzhou soldiers had died, and what shocked the Huaiyang army was that the Liangzhou soldiers who were cut down and seriously injured did not lose their fighting spirit.

The Liangzhou army outside the southern city gate was only killed and not injured.

The remaining hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers, compared to the Huaiyang army, which was ten times their size, did not lose a single ounce in momentum.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion behind the Huaiyang army, and some of them turned around and killed behind them.

From a distance, he saw dozens of figures tossing up and down in the burning Huaiyang military array.

It's Wenliang!

As soon as it was dark, Wen Liang sneaked out of the city with dozens of secret guards in the city and ambushed here.

The secret guards of Liangzhou are all dead soldiers trained since childhood, and their bodies and feet are very accessible, and they are tossing and turning in the formation here, and the Huaiyang army is in chaos, and the offensive is also stagnant.

The Liangzhou army around him was even more powerful, and there was even a stalemate between the two sides for a moment.

In such a situation, Wen Liang still didn't listen to his own arrangement after all.

Wenliang is like this, and he must not live up to it.

"Breakout!"

Under the order of the old man, the Liangzhou army shouted and killed, and fought a way in the direction of the dark guard.

However, the shouts of killing did not only come from his side, but also from the city gate farther behind him.

Looking back, the city gate didn't know when it was opened, the silver-armored Huaiyang army rushed out of the city gate, and Shen Jing took the lead with a gun in one hand.

The city of Liangzhou is broken.

Hui felt like he had been hit hard in the heart.

Shen Jing passed through the city, and the more than 4,000 Liangzhou troops outside the north gate and defending the city were probably all dead.

Seeing that the main general broke the city, the morale of the Huaiyang army was greatly boosted.

Wen Gu saw Wen Liang rise in the distance, and the long sword pierced the neck of a Huaiyang cavalryman, and then several spears pierced the place where he fell. Wen Liang did not get up again.

The riots caused by the secret guards gradually subsided, and tens of thousands of Huaiyang troops attacked back and forth, surrounding Wen Gu and others.

The situation is set, and there is no possibility of a fight.

The rest dismounted and lined up on the spot.

The outermost Liangzhou soldiers said to the people behind them to take a step forward. Then he charged with a gun, and was slashed in a moment.

Shen Jing pressed the horse and slowly walked towards Wen Gu. Only then did he notice that his right shoulder armor had been shattered, his arm was hanging down his side, and blood was dripping down his fingers on the ground.

A Liangzhou soldier rushed towards him, Shen Jing held the gun in his left hand, pierced the opponent's body, and then pulled out the gun hard, and his right hand shook unnaturally with his movements.

The Huaiyang army around them approached, and the remaining few hundred Liangzhou soldiers were killed layer by layer. After a long time, only Wen and Zhixia were left in the Liangzhou army.

Zhixia has been protecting Wen Gu with his hands, and his body is also splashed with blood.

Shen Jing approached and pointed a gun at Wen Gu.

Life and death have been decided, but Wen Ji is much calmer than he imagined, looking at his arm, with a smile in his tone: "This gift I sent, General Shen is still satisfied?" ”

Shen Jing grimaced: "Six thousand Liangzhou troops, for one of my arms, is it worth it?" ”
