Eighty-eight The Last Brave
……
On March 12, on the towering walls of Turbo City......
Geng Gong held a speculum in his hand and looked in the direction of Natuoluo City in the distance.
News of the fall of the Turbine Fortress will soon reach the capital of the noble widow, and you must prepare to defend yourself.
Even if the walls of this fortress city are thick, it is necessary to prevent any accidents from happening.
"General Geng, come to inspect so early?"
Pei Siche climbed the city wall with four soldiers, and when he saw Geng Gong there, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Geng Gong put down the speculum and asked lightly, "Have the city gates been blocked?" ”
Pei Siche: "Please rest assured, the two iron gates in front and back of the turbine fortress have been blocked with heavy debris, and they will not be blown up at all unless the gunpowder of our Han army is used." ”
Geng Gong nodded: "Very good, but we still have to take strict precautions to ensure that there is not the slightest omission." ”
This was the first time he had led his troops alone to defend a strategic fortress, and he could not afford to be careless.
As long as the White Qi army rushes to Turbo City, his future is destined to be immeasurable.
"General, look!"
Suddenly, a soldier's shout caught Geng Gong's attention.
picked up the speculum and looked at it, but saw a yellow sand on the horizon in the distance.
"Enemy attack, send an order to the whole army, assemble at the city wall, and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
Putting away the speculum, Geng Gong looked serious.
Pei Siche personally blew the horn, and the dull sound of the horn immediately echoed throughout the fortress.
In a short time, a thousand Han troops had already climbed the city wall, aiming at the strong bows and crossbows they carried with them and the stone throwers on the fortress.
"Sigh Rhythm ~~"
"Cluck~~"
Heavy horses rattled outside the city walls, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
"Huh?"
When Geng Gong saw the thick number of enemy troops coming to attack, he suddenly frowned, raised his speculum and continued to look.
After confirming, he said with an incredulous expression: "With this mere 300 horsemen, you dare to attack the city?" Is the city of Tuoluo so lonely, or is it that the entire noble widow has no soldiers available? ”
When Pei Siche heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "General Geng doesn't have to worry, the noble widow is indeed exhausted, and these cavalrymen are more than soldiers than dead soldiers." ”
Geng Gong frowned again, and muttered, "Dead man? ”
"It's the one who sent him to death." "This is also the last resort that the widow will only use when faced with a crisis that cannot be solved.
These dead soldiers should be the royal family or nobles in the city of Natuoluo with a lot of money to gather a group of strong men who dare to send them to death, these dead soldiers basically live in poverty,
Being able to exchange their lives for a sum of money for their family was their last mission, and it was thought that after Natuoluo City learned that Turbo City had fallen, the defenders in the city did not dare to attack, and Qi Ruosi used it as a last resort. ”
Geng Gong was indifferent, and it wasn't until the group of dead soldiers approached Turbo City that they were three hundred paces away, and then he sighed: "No matter what, these dead soldiers are still worthy of respect,
Tell the whole army, after they die, the corpses will be retracted, leave them with some last dignity, and now, prepare for battle! ”
At the sound of the order, the soldiers of the Han army in the city immediately prepared the stones and logs, and the crossbowmen even prepared arrows, and launched a fierce counterattack just after the enemy entered the firing range.
Outside the city, the army of dead men slowly approached, and it was not until they came within two hundred paces that they all stopped their advance under the reprimand of one of the generals.
Then, in the sound of metal rubbing, the dead soldiers on horseback showed a variety of weapons, mostly arc knives.
"Bless me, O God, to be by your side when I die."
Some of the dead men prayed their last prayers, and their faces were full of determination.
There are even some dead soldiers who can't help but shed tears after knowing that there are no survivors in this battle.
"Sister, I'm not by your side, take good care of yourself in the future, that money is enough for you to escape from this sinful country, may the gods bless you and have a safe life."
A young man named Kurzi, who looked no more than sixteen years old, silently prayed for his thirteen-year-old sister, and then tried to imprint the faces of his relatives in his mind, and then his eyes became extremely determined.
"The bravest knights of the noble widows, for the sake of the king, for the sake of the noble widows, fight to the last drop of blood, and also take this great city back from the invaders,
When you die, your souls will be forgiven by the Lord, and the gods will cleanse you from all the sins you have committed in this life.
Fight, with your last blood, throw it on this sacred land,
Fight until the last man falls, and swear our glory,
Fight, your body will eventually be torn apart, your war horse will eventually fall, but the spirit will not,
Let's fight! Brave and fearless noble widows, prove to the gods that you are the bravest warriors,
Let us cry out, rush to death, and embrace the brilliance of God! Charge! ”
"Wow~~"
The three hundred and fifty dead soldiers, inspired by the noble and noble officers, let out a long roar that shook the sky in unison.
"Ah~~"
Kurtz also let out a rage, and pointed the arc knife in his hand at the thick walls of the Turbine Fortress.
"Kill me!"
"Kill~~"
At the sound of an order, three hundred and fifty dead soldiers galloped on horseback and rushed directly towards Turbo City.
"Great!"
It was the first time that Geng Gong admired his opponent so much, and although the outcome of this battle was already predestined, he still admired their courage to face death as if they were home.
However, admiration is admiration, and Geng Gong will not show mercy because of respect for his opponent.
If you are an enemy, then only one side is destined to survive!
"Crossbowmen ready~"
"Squeak~~"
The bow and crossbow were urged in unison, and the cold arrows behind the battlement were already aimed at their respective targets.
"Shoot the arrows!"
One hundred and twenty paces away, Geng Gong decisively ordered to shoot.
In an instant, arrows rained down from the city walls and swooped down on the advancing cavalry like locusts.
"Puff ......"
"Huh~~"
In an instant, the blood mist rose, the people turned on their backs, and the mournful wails continued to resound in the open land.
Geng Gong saw a dead soldier pierced through the chest by three sharp arrows through the speculum, but the cavalry on horseback had already gritted his teeth, brandished the arc knife in his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and continued to advance.
But soon, his last stubbornness was shrouded in death, and he finally fell off his horse and ended his last mission.
Another dead soldier was shot at the crotch of his horse, but at the moment he fell to the ground, he still held a rudimentary short spear, and despite the hanging arrows on his shoulder, he still approached the wall on foot.
It's just that his blood courage was quickly pierced through the throat by another sharp arrow, and it dissipated completely, and at the last moment of his life, he knelt on the ground, his hands were tightly pressed to his chest, and he maintained the last pious posture and died silently.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Flutter~~"
The crossbowmen on the walls showed no signs of stopping, firing at the remaining cavalry outside the city.
Soon, one dead cavalry after another fell outside the walls, and by the time they were fifty paces away from the Turbine Fortress, there were less than thirty of the three hundred and fifty dead men.
And their officers had already been killed in the first round of crossbow fire.
"Kill~"
With blood on his face, Kurzi stubbornly rode his horse towards the city gates.
At this point, he had lost his mind, and his only thought was to crash into the towering wall.
And the dead soldiers behind him are the same, all with crazy faces, looking at death as home.
"Rolling wood, stone!"
"Throw!"
Rumble~~
Less than twenty paces away, the defenders on the city wall directly threw down the stones and logs that had been prepared, instantly blurring the flesh and blood of the people and horses below, and in just an instant, only Kurz was left outside the entire turbine city and still charging forward with a shout.
"Sister!"
At the moment when he was about to crash into the city gate, Kurz roared, and even the whole person took off the horse's back.
"Bang~~"
There was a roar, and a pool of red blood was left on the broad city gate.
The next moment, everything returned to calm.
All of the three hundred and fifty dead soldiers fell in the death charge, and until their deaths failed to cause even a single casualty to the Han soldiers.
"Alas~"
Geng Gong shook his head and stood on top of the city wall, looking into the distance.
The whole battle lasted just over a quarter of an hour......
"After an hour, the bodies of these noble widows will be collected and returned to their families and relatives when the city of Natulo has been conquered."
After speaking, Geng Gong silently walked down the city wall, walked in front of Pei Siche, and said lightly: "These dead soldiers are the last warriors of the noble widow, and those left behind are a group of cowardly and incompetent people, wait for Bai Shuai's good news." ”
"Whoa!"
Although I don't understand what Geng Gong means, today's insignificant battle really gave this Yue's military general a new understanding.
