Chapter 118: Reinforcements are coming

Qingyang County did not let Yang Zhi enter the city, and Yang Zhi could probably already think of the situation in Pingzhou.

But the next picture still made Yang Zhi feel an unconcealable anger in his heart again.

From Qingyang County to Pingzhou City, there are countless corpses encountered along the way.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

The people who fled should have also been turned away from the city by Qingyang County.

They did not die under the slaughter of the enemy, but died in the last hope, and they fled to Qingyang County, but they were exhausted, without warm clothing, no food, and either froze to death or starved to death.

This tragic scene was not only Yang Zhi angry, but even Chen Dong and the two thousand soldiers and horses under him were full of anger.

The Turks are cruel, but what about their own people?

For their own selfishness, the Qin family even wanted to kill him, and these people of Pingzhou who fled will undoubtedly bring more food consumption to Qingyang County.

Because of this, the officials of Qingyang County can watch them freeze to death and starve to death.

There are men, women, and children, and these people, is there anything wrong?

If there is, it can only be said that they are unlucky to devote themselves to this era.

Yang Zhi never thought that so many ordinary people would die in a war, even if it was a war with the Western Zhou Dynasty, the army of the Western Zhou Dynasty would not slaughter the people of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Although the anger in his heart was monstrous, Yang Zhi couldn't do anything now, and along the way, he didn't meet a single living person, so he could only rush to Pingzhou City.

In the wind and snow, seeing that this day was about to pass, the Turkic army outside Pingzhou City suddenly attacked again.

Countless dense Turks rushed towards Pingzhou City, and the soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou, who were already tired and exhausted, returned to their respective positions again, and the weapons in their hands were also messy, swords, sticks, and sticks.

Even without weapons, they will use their bodies to block gaps.

Kill...

Amid the shouts of killing, the Turks rushed to kill with excitement and excitement, because they knew that the defenders of Dasheng were about to die, and Pingzhou City, which had no reinforcements, was waiting for them to rush in and slaughter.

Pingzhou City was also in the midst of fireworks, once again attracting a battle to defend the city, and many people could only watch their companions fall, but their eyes were also filled with hatred and smiles.

The Turks rushed up the walls again and again, and were repulsed again and again.

And at this time, someone shouted loudly.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Reinforcements come and see!"

After holding on for a month, the soldiers and civilians of Pingzhou City finally had a light in their eyes again, and they looked at the cavalry galloping in the distance, and there was more hope in their eyes.

Before Yang Zhi and his people entered Pingzhou City, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, and he led people through Pingzhou City and went straight to the city wall.

Looking at the tragic situation in the city, Yang Zhi knew that Pingzhou City had reached the point of exhaustion, but the soldiers and civilians here did not take half a step back.

If the Dasheng Dynasty was such a military and civilian, would the Turks still dare to come and slaughter the people of the Dasheng Dynasty?

Only when you are strong can you protect the people around you.

"Chen Dong, immediately take people up to the city wall and cut down these doggy Turks for me."

Yang Zhi was already angry in his heart, at this time, he didn't care about anything else, he only brought two thousand cavalry, and he lost a hundred people in Qingyang County, if it weren't for Chen Dong's group of brothers, there would not be two thousand people in total.

The cavalry is used as infantry, not that Yang Zhi doesn't feel sorry for these brothers under him, but he only has 2,000 people, so he won't open the city gate and fight with the Turkic army outside the city!

The cavalry dismounted, rushed directly to the city wall, and joined the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

With the addition of this new force, the remaining soldiers and civilians in Pingzhou were also in high spirits, and the Turkic soldiers found that the reinforcements of the Dasheng Dynasty were coming, and they were also afraid in their hearts, and the Turkic soldiers who had just gained the advantage were instantly killed.

Chen Dong and his brothers were all equipped with black armor, and even on their heads, they all wore helmets weighing more than ten kilograms, and Yang Zhi also asked the blacksmiths to make goggles out of glass.

It can be said that this 100-person black-armored army is even more terrifying than the 2,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yang Zhi, and every time the knife in their hands is swung, it can take a life.

Yang Zhi also rushed to the city wall, and the knife in his hand did not stop for half a minute, one by one.

As for the proud scimitar of the Turks, it couldn't hurt Yang Zhi at all.

Soon, the Turks who rushed up fell in a pool of blood, and the Turks behind heard that reinforcements from the Dasheng Dynasty had arrived, and the leading generals gave the order to retreat.

The Turks no longer attacked the city, but retreated to the camp, and the soldiers and civilians of Dasheng on the city walls let out shouts of excitement, and a third of them died in this day alone.

Now the rest are all remnants of the defeated army, less than 20,000 people, and half of them are ordinary people.

Yang Zhi looked at these soldiers and civilians who were dressed in tatters and even had injuries on their bodies, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Young master, he is the biggest general here!"

Chen Dong walked over with a man, his hands still wrapped in straps, but his eyes were very determined.

"The last general, Hu Duan, meet General Yang! Thank you, General Yang, for coming to support. ”

Yang Zhi looked at this general, judging from his glimpse system, he should only be a deputy general, and the deputy generals of the Dasheng Dynasty generally lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to ten thousand households.

However, due to local reasons, some lieutenant generals actually have thousands of soldiers and horses under their command.

"Are you the general of the Right Tiger Guard? What about your generals? ”

Hu Duan bowed his head and said: "The general has died in battle, he ordered before he died, I am the right tiger guard, I can only fight to the death, and must not retreat!" ”

The general of the Right Tiger Guard in Pingzhou, that is the General of the Right Tiger Guard of the third grade, I didn't expect to be killed in battle.

"How many people are left in the Right Tiger Guard?"

Looking at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, basically all of them were wounded soldiers, Yang Zhi knew that not many people survived.

"Less than six thousand!"

Hu Duan said calmly: "General Yang, rest assured, my brother of the Right Tiger Guard, there is no one of the bad seeds, the Turks will not retreat, and none of us will retreat." ”

Yang Zhi looked at the deputy general in front of him, believing that this time was also the defense of the city organized by him, and if he could hold on for so long, this Hu Duan could be regarded as a talent.

"Let the brothers rest well, what I want to tell you is that I only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses this time, but you can rest assured that my brothers will not retreat."

Yang Zhi didn't want to deceive these soldiers and civilians, in fact, everyone could see that if there was really a large army to help, he wouldn't be just like that.

"My friend has 8,000 soldiers and horses, and it will be a few days before they arrive, but I also want to tell you that there will be no reinforcements."

Yang Zhi didn't say the reason, but he couldn't let these soldiers and civilians wait.

"Not only do we have no backup, but we won't have food and grass, I know you're not afraid of death, but if you want to leave, no one will blame you."
