Chapter 202 Dedication to the City

After the battle, Yu Chongming only felt a trace of coolness rise from the depths of his lower abdomen, snaking up along the blood veins, reaching his chest, and suddenly turned into a cold hand, tightly grasping the heart that was beating wildly! In an instant, the whole body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, every pore suddenly rose, and a huge sense of frustration came to his face, devouring his whole person even to the bones.

After paying such a great price, seeing that victory is within reach, there is no force on the city that can threaten the tower, thousands of sons and daughters can immediately cry to climb the tower and climb the city, before the sun sets behind the mountain in the west, the exhausted Han dogs will all lay on the wall, and the huge Chengdu Mansion is about to fall into their hands...... Extravagant Chongming, who was full of ambition, saw those dozens of ghost-like figures sweeping in front of the city gate!

Towers, each as tall as half a mountain! These towers took tens of thousands of people to build, and in the history of Yongning, no, in the southwest of the entire Ming Empire, there has never been a battle to reach the scale of dispatching dozens of siege towers! After a bloody battle, the remaining eight were enough to conquer Chengdu, however, at this moment, seven of them had already emitted billowing smoke, and they collapsed one after another in front of their eyes!

Yu Chongming saw very clearly, the defenders of the counterattack were only a few dozen people together, and behind each tower, there were at least hundreds of their own Miao soldiers! However, King Hao didn't blame his own native soldiers, he really didn't blame him—he could see clearly that the dozens of defenders were divided into eight groups, and one or two people in each group were holding a few sparkling fritters in their hands, and threw themselves into the crowd! There were one or two loud noises, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the few people who followed took advantage of the moment when the white horse passed through the gap and all carried the big oil tank into the tower! In a moment, the flames were ignited from the inside, the smoke rose, flames flowed out of the cracks of the towers and at the entrance, and entangled firemen fell from the sky on almost every tower...... The only one that survived was only because the attacker who was running at the front really lost his strength, tripped and fell, and the canister exploded in his own queue......

However, the tower is no longer useful.

There are still two cannons on the head of the city, and taking advantage of this chaos, it should have been reloaded, or it won't be long before a continuous bombardment of the remaining tower will be launched!

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

As expected by Yu Chongming, the two cannons on the head of the city once again roared one after another.

However, his judgment was still wrong: the tower that was close at hand was safe and sound, but two large clusters of blood splashed in the Miao infantry team behind him!

Yes?

Why? Why is this happening?

Yu Chongming's face turned pale for a moment—he immediately understood the message of the defenders with artillery fire: Your tower, your people, just let the horses come, our steel knives are waiting for you!

King Hao had already made a judgment: the defenders of Chengdu Mansion were no more than 3,000 people at best. However, it is such a small person, who has carried his own hundreds of thousands of horses and horses for so long, such a powerful Han general, such a powerful Han soldier! Especially the counterattack of the dozens of people who sacrificed their lives to die just now, Ajia, Adin, Mainan, Che Spoon, and Kou dared to protect ...... Yu Chongming wrenched his fingers, silently reciting people's names in his heart. These are all warriors in their own village, and there is no doubt that they will be like this in a critical moment, however, counting them, at best, there are only eight or nine people - these are all dead soldiers raised by luxury families since childhood! And the Han general on the opposite side, but casually took out a foot team to guard the door, fought for a whole day, and must have killed and injured more than half of them, and then ...... All those who are alive and can still run launched such a suicidal attack that the heavens and the earth change color and the ghosts and gods cry for!

Warriors, everyone is a warrior! What kind of army is this? There is such an army in the world! From head to toe, the chill enveloped his whole body, and he couldn't help but shiver: if the Han generals and soldiers were like this...... What kind of battle is this?

The tower stopped in sight.

Someone rushed out of it.

There was an endless stream of people rushing out, and there were twenty or thirty people. These are the bravest and most elite veterans of the cat's battle in the tower. In order to get close to the city wall as soon as possible, the tower must not be filled with people, most of them must be pushed behind, but the inside cannot be empty - once the gangplank is on the city wall, the warriors will pour out of the nest to pounce on the wall to seize the space for the companions behind to break through, so the cat in each tower is the strongest warrior in each village!

And at this moment, these elites of a hundred battles have never met the enemy, but they have lost all their fighting spirit, and they all rushed out of the tower, blending in the crowd behind and not daring to move forward!

The rear of the Miao soldiers also stopped. Because there were so many towers in front of them that were responsible for connecting the walls, these people didn't have many ladders to climb the walls. Even now, it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to jump off the wall with the only remaining tower - let alone that tower has stopped.

However, Yu Chongming knew very well in his heart that what really stopped these people was not the stopped towers, not the corpses everywhere, not the attacking artillery and rockets, but the dignified murderous aura of the defenders who were going to die! This murderous aura is like an invisible wall, you can't see or touch it, but it's just blocked there, and the overwhelming sense of oppression that comes to your face is simply impossible to breathe.

"Collect the troops, collect the troops." Yu Chongming commanded weakly.

The sound of bamboo bangs sounded, and the soldiers on the front line turned around and ran back as if they had been amnestied, and Sun Jie on the wall noticed that for the first time since the start of the war, no one dragged the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground.

The thief is cold!

"Daddy!" Shi Erlei let out another heart-rending scream.

Sun Jie stood a little ahead of the guards, and when Shi Meng led the team to charge to the death, Sun Jie immediately recognized the familiar figure. Immediately followed by Er Lei also recognized his father, and his anger and physical overdraft were too much, and he fainted in Sheng Degong's arms all of a sudden. At this moment, I woke up slowly, and the crying made my scalp tingle.

Sun Jie was not good at words, turned around and stared at Er Lei for a long time, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, stretched out his hand on Er Lei's shoulder and pressed it heavily, Sheng Degong threw a knowing look at Sun Jie.

"Dashuai." It was the voice of Lao Shun.

Sun Jie turned his head and saw Commander Lao's chubby face—plasma, sludge, and sweat wiped together, and big tears were still pouring out of his red eyes. Lao Shun clenched his fists heavily: "Handsome! Lao is handsome! The marshal has led such a tough soldier! Our Chengdu Zhongwei can't stare at the brothers who came to help us in the corpse wilderness - I can't raise my head in that life! The last general asked the commander to give an order, open the city gate, and the Chengdu Zhongwei collected the bodies for the brothers. Rest assured, Lao personally pressed the formation, if the luxury thief came to grab the door, even if he died in front of the door, he would not let a thief come over! ”

Sun Jie looked out of the city, and Yu Chongming had retreated far away, so he nodded: "There is General Lao Lao." ”

"Gordon." Zhu Xieyuan also went down the city tower early, looking at Sun Jie with mixed feelings, he really had a feeling of being a person in two worlds.

"Your Excellency." Sun Jie turned to Zhu Xieyuan. At this moment, words are redundant.

Outside the city, Lao Shun led more than 20 families to line up with Ding Zema to serve as a guard at the front, and Ding Baihu of Chengdu Zhongwei led people to carefully pick up the scorched corpses in the remains of the corpse, and each piece was carefully collected in the oilcloth bag. Many corpses and wreckage are entangled together, and it is obvious that they are still fighting for their lives at the last moment of their lives, and everyone is moved.

Fu Chongming, who was at the gate of the camp in the distance, glanced at the battlefield again, his heart moved, and then immediately dispelled the thought that had just popped up: That's it, they are all warriors, let them pack up and bury them, the warriors deserve this respect from their opponents, well, even the warriors of the Han family are the same. Yu Chongming then thought that after fighting hard for several days, it is impossible for such a few people to have any chance to take a break, even the iron man should fall, and no matter how strong the warrior is, he will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow. There is no way, you are killing the field to the death, tomorrow the whole army will attack, the defenders will definitely hold on desperately for a while, but at most at noon, you can climb the wall and break through, and you don't need to wait until evening, Chengdu Mansion will fall into your hands...... When the time comes, it's enough to sacrifice them.

"The King. The lord of Luo Zhai led Hu Rugao of Dishui Village and several other village owners are about to arrive, and now they are camping twenty miles away, and they will be able to meet us tomorrow. Adjutant General Zhang Tong reported with a happy face.

"Good! After so many days of fighting, the Han dogs in Chengdu Mansion are almost exhausted. Tomorrow, you will lead those stockades that have not yet participated in the battle into battle, and let Luo Ganxiang respond in the back. Remember, immediately after breaking the city, besiege the Shu Wangfu, and capture Zhu Zhishu alive no matter what! As long as we hold him in our hands, we will no longer be angry with the dog. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Tong was very proud. When the battle came to this, everyone could see that Chengdu Mansion would not be able to withstand tomorrow no matter what-this great achievement of breaking the city, the king did not hand it over to his son Haoyin, nor to his son-in-law Fan Long, but awarded it to himself, Zhang Tong was of course happy.

"Report to the king, someone from the city has come to ask for surrender." It was already dark, and Gao Chongming was about to rest, when the camp guard brought in another person. Although he was wearing a cloth shirt, he knew at a glance that he was a soldier in the army.

"Your Majesty. The small one is Ding Laosan, the conductor of Chengdu Zhongwei Lao. The head of my family asked me to come to the king, and wanted to surrender the city tomorrow. The man fell on his knees, bowed his head, and said.

"Oh? You're playing very well, why do you want to surrender? Extravagant Chongming stared at Lao San suspiciously.

"Your Majesty. We're running out. Lao San's voice was very small at first, and after a pause, he said, "Sun Jie is fighting against Zhu Da...... Well, with the support of the surname Zhu, a person from another province came over and grabbed the handsome position of the head of the family, forcing the brothers of Chengdu Wei to take the lead every day, and today he forced the head of the family to collect the body outside the city for him. The head of the family was really angry, so he called the little one to come to the king and wanted to sacrifice the city tomorrow. ”

"Hmph," Yu Chongming snorted and said, "I've been fighting for a long time, why did you only remember to surrender today?" Look at you, this guy is clearly a fraud! Come on, drag it out, cut it! ”

"The king is good, the king is good." Lao San shouted, but there was not much panic on his face.

Yu Chongming raised his hand to stop Miao Bing, who was about to drag Lao San out of the tent: "What do you say?" ”

Lao San replied solemnly: "The king is coming to fight, and the Chengdu central defender will definitely have to resist for a while." If you can't beat it, you will fall when you should fall. The court doesn't pay us money, and we don't deserve to sell the life given by our father and mother. A while ago, the person surnamed Sun watched it closely, and he couldn't come out at all, and the head of the family asked the little one to mix in the corpse collection team today, so he crawled over to see the king. The brothers of Chengdu Zhongwei didn't want to fight for a long time, they were all forced by the surname Sun, and the head of the family said that the king of tomorrow would definitely continue to attack the city, and most of them would not be able to defend it. But if the head of the family opened the door directly, wouldn't it be much more convenient for the king to enter the city? ”

Lao San's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made Yu Chongming very strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you really the family member of Commander Lao?" Aren't you really afraid that King Ben will kill you with a knife? ”

Lao San grinned: "Everyone has a life. I grew up in the labor family, the people in the guard eat bran and I eat mixed noodles, and the people in the guard eat wild vegetable dumplings and I have meat to eat. My life was given by my father and mother, and I was raised by my family. The head of the family said that if I can do it, I will come back and recognize me as a righteous son. The king killed me, and the city will be broken tomorrow, but there will always be some men in front of the door. If I go back and report the news, tomorrow the king's people will come and see the door open. I pondered, the king must know that if the door is not opened tomorrow, the king will still break the city, and the small one will definitely be searched by the king if he dies in the chaos, so the king should believe the small one. ”

These words were extravagant and amazing, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case, and asked in detail about the situation of the defenders, Lao San also knew everything, and even Shi Yan Qin Liangyu had already sent troops to copy his own back road, and he had to believe that Lao San was telling the truth.

After sending Lao San away, Zhang Tong and Hao Yin talked about it, and after talking for a long time, Gao Chongming said categorically: "In any case, the city is the backbone of hundreds of Sun Jie's Changjie battalion, and Lao Shun's Chengdu Zhongwei is not to worry." It is impossible for a few thousand people who are tired and half dead to set up an ambush for tens of thousands of us. That's right, letting him go back is just a matter of borrowing his life, and we'll see if we open the city gate tomorrow! ”
