Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 10 Gathering the Stars
Wang Rong stabilized his mind, he formed a three-person shield formation with the old dog and the leopard in front, and carried the spears and halberds that kept coming over the road, and the old cake stood behind them holding spears, and from time to time here he could bring back a tent of blood flowers every time. The Yu soldiers on the city wall were strong-willed, and even when they saw the Yongjun cavalry entering the city, they did not flinch in the slightest.
Pei Zongyan and the old wolf put Meng Song in a place against the city wall, and pressed the corpses of several Yu soldiers on him to prevent him from being sent away by others in a daze. Then the two of them held a halberd and a spear, and formed a long formation with Lao Cake, and attacked the top of the horse road together.
And the tower and sledgehammer have regained their strength, and they have taken up their weapons. Wang Rong saw the iron tower rushing up, and the hand holding the shield was crooked, revealing a gap. The Yu soldier on the opposite side saw the opportunity, so he rushed up with a spear, and then he touched the iron tower that was two heads higher than him, and there was a cold light with him, the long knife fell, and the iron arm of the Yu soldier and his head were split in half, and then the right shoulder, the bloody scene was comparable to the Texas chainsaw. The sledgehammer is not to be outdone, they all rely on strength to eat, no one is weaker than the other, he holds the long-handled hammer in both hands, squeezes the old dog and the leopard aside, and then the hammer whistling and swinging away, smashing the Yu soldiers in front of the old dog and the leopard with a shield and flying out.
Relying on two strong men, Wang Rong and they gradually advanced towards the city. Their luck was really bad, this city gate was used as the focus of defense, and Wei Hua, the new guard, personally led his own guard battalion of 500 people to guard the city tower. And when Wang Rong and the others came to the city, they were faced with Wei Hua's personal guards of one hundred people.
Pei Zongyan saw the situation in front of him and knew that death in this battle was inevitable, so he took the initiative to come to the front with a shield. The iron tower and sledgehammer were replaced by spears in the back, and the old wolf still held the spear in his hand firmly, his eyes fixed on the well-armored Wei Hua guards in front of him.
Just as Wang Rong and the others were preparing to attack, a young general walked out from behind the group of guards, he was wearing a red silk and red iron armor, an iron helmet, a red pheasant feather inserted in the tassel pipe on the top of the helmet, a beer belly on his face, and a standard one-word beard on his face. He looked at the embarrassed few people, and there was an inscrutable smile on his face: "Heh, this Qin Ke just used such a few people to break the new success that I worked so hard to manage, Yongguo is really a talented warrior." ”
Looking at his outfit, several people understood that this was Wei Hua, the new guard, even though he was in such a dangerous situation, it was obvious that the other party did not take them seriously. Wei Hua said in a cold voice: "His hero, my enemy, solve them for me." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Pei Zongyan looked at a few people with a smile and said, "Brothers, today is our death date, killing one is enough, killing two earns one, kill!" ”
Wang Rong responded loudly: "Kill! ”
The old dog, the leopard, the wolf, and the old cake also shouted in a deep voice: "Kill !!! ”
The guards of the Yu army on the opposite side rushed up with long swords and shields, their faces were fierce, their bodies were strong, and their armor was fine. Three or five people formed a small formation, and as soon as they saw the action, Wang Rong knew that he and the others had met the elite.
But no matter how elite the enemy was, Wang Rong still hoped that he could live, so he stretched out his right hand and pulled Pei Zongyan down. Pei Zongyan looked back at him strangely, not understanding what Wang Rong meant.
Wang Rong said in a low voice: "Chief, we have to withdraw to the horse road, the crossbowmen have entered the city, they can help us resist these enemy forces." ”
Listening to Wang Rong's words, Pei Zongyan looked up at the city, and sure enough, a large number of crossbowmen had rushed into the city from the city gate. Hundreds of crossbowmen at the city gate propped up their shields in front of them, took off the crossbow machines on their waists, and wound them one after another, and the tips of the crossbows flashed with cold light and pointed at the Yu soldiers on the east side of the horse road, and then they heard a sound of pulling the trigger, "Click!! ”
"Bang !!!" The bolts were fired quickly into the east side of the road.
"Poof!!! "Poof!!! "Poof!!! Clusters of blood splattered, and a large number of soldiers fell on the road.
Pei Zongyan nodded, who wants to die if he can live. Then a few people gradually retreated onto the road. When the guards of the Yu army saw Wang Rong and them retreating backwards, they immediately quickened their speed, hoping to leave them at the head of the city, where the terrain is wide, and they can give full play to the advantage of numbers, and it must be proper for a hundred people to besiege eight or nine people. But their intentions were shattered by the iron tower and the sledgehammer, two humanoid beasts, spears in one hand, two for each man, and four spears piercing through the gaps in their shields, repeatedly driving them back.
When Wang Rong's group appeared on the horse road, the crossbowmen at the city gate quickly noticed them. "Quick, turn, on the west side of the road!" The hundred crossbowmen under his command quickly turned to the west side of the road, and the crossbow machine was slightly raised.
Wang Rong saw the crossbowmen at the city gate pointing their crossbows at his side, and shouted, "Squat down!" Fast! With that, he threw down the knife and pressed Pei Zongyan and the old dog down. Hearing his words, several other people also hurriedly squatted down.
Then Wang Rong heard "Whoosh! Sou! At the same time, there was a muffled snort from the iron tower, and Wang Rong turned his head and asked, "The iron tower?!" What's wrong?! ”
I only heard the humming sound of the tower and replied angrily: "Eh, Captain Wu, I seem to have been hit by an arrow in the buttocks." ”
After hearing this, Wang Rong had a black line on his head, and it was estimated that the tower was too high, and he couldn't avoid it when he squatted. Then he looked through the gap in his shield again. The guards of the Yu army were really elite, they also saw the crossbowmen under the city, the soldiers in the front row raised their shields one after another, and the guards in the back reacted slowly, more than a dozen people were hit by crossbow arrows, lying on the ground and wailing.
Wang Rong's heart sank, this is probably the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake, and suddenly there was a roar, and a spear stabbed fiercely. The shield in Wang Rong's left hand was touched fiercely, and he felt that his left arm was numb in an instant. He picked up the oblique blade that he had just thrown down, and with a wave of his right hand, the blade was like snow, and the cold light flashed, cutting off the spear shaft that was thick as the baby's arm, and the spearhead was cut and flew under the city wall.
Just when Wang Rong and the others were fighting to the death, a huge whistling sound sounded on the head of the city and outside the city, and Wang Rong listened carefully, it was the shouts of his own soldiers. Pei Zongyan excitedly said to everyone: "This is the main general Daxu moving forward, and our reinforcements are about to arrive." ”
Indeed, as Pei Zongyan said, more Yongjun soldiers came in from the city gate, and the Yu army's personal guards were also in chaos, and it seems that there are more and more Yongjun soldiers on the city.
"Chief, we have to go back to Meng Song, form a formation there, and hold out until the reinforcements arrive, this is enough for us to break through the city gate." Wang Rong made a suggestion.
"Good. Let's go down. Pei Zongyan felt that it was very right when he heard it, and nodded in response. And the Yu army guards in front of them have no energy to entangle them, they can only flee by the backstabbing of the Yong soldiers on the head of the city, they are the personal guards of the main general, the main general is not dead, they have to follow the main general.
As a large number of Yongjun soldiers entered the city, the situation of Wang Rong and others became more and more secure. Da! The sound of horses' hooves sounded, followed by a general flag with the word "Qin" written on it, and then a huge "Yong" character Daxu.
A young general in his thirties rode on a handsome brown meandering horse, looking at the occupied city with his eyes in anticipation, and then he saw Wang Rong and the others. I saw several people forming a circle and surrounding a wounded soldier in the middle. And among them is someone he is familiar with, Lao Cake. He gently ordered: "Go, ask, what's going on with Captain Bi and the others?" Everyone else is chasing down the remnants of the enemy in the city to collect the results, why don't they go? ”
The guards next to him immediately promised: "Oh, general." Then he galloped towards Wang Rong and the others. Pei Zongyan didn't know who the guards who came over were, but Lao Bi knew, so he came out of the crowd and chatted with the other party.
Wang Rong squatted on the ground and carefully checked Meng Song's injuries, and Pei Zongyan asked on the side, "Zhong Ming, how is it?" Is he still saved? ”
Wang Rong finished the inspection and said with a relaxed expression: "Don't worry, what this kid needs now is an external force to wake him up." ”
Pei Zongyan was a little puzzled after listening to Wang Rong's words, the effect of external forces? What kind of external force? How does it work? Then he saw the old dog step forward and shoot at Meng Song is left and right hands, "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!" After ten slaps, Meng Song opened his eyes and asked with a confused face, "I haven't woken up yet?" Who is it? Then he felt a burning pain in his face.
Wang Rong comforted: "Hey, it's okay, you're not dead yet, don't sleep." The old dog's movements and Wang Rong's words made Pei Zongyan completely speechless. Then Lao Bao came back and said to Pei Zongyan: "That's General Qin Ke's personal guard, he wants you to go to the general to explain the situation." ”
Pei Zongyan looked at the old cake, then at Wang Rong and the old wolf, and then said, "You three go with me." "Lao Pian used to be a captain, a middle-level officer, and Qin Ke knew each other, Lao Wolf and Wang Rong were his subordinates, his own left and right hands, he could help him check and fill in the gaps, and he could also take the opportunity to give them credit. The old wolf is not young, he shouldn't continue to waste time on the captain, Wang Rong has a good brain, has ideas, and is too condescending to be a captain.
The four of them followed Qin Ke's personal guards to find Qin Ke, at this time Qin Ke was in the Xincheng County Ya, which had been cleaned up, although there were still some traces of the battle, but at least they could work.
"General, the new Cheng guard general Wei Hua fled, and we didn't catch up with him." This is the voice of a middle-aged man, and there is a hint of loss in his words, Wei Hua is the biggest credit for this battle, and he is very unwilling to fly like this.
Qin Ke smiled and comforted: "It's okay, it was already beyond my expectation to be able to capture Xincheng in one day, and it is not surprising that Wei Hua was able to escape." ”
I only heard another general say loudly: "Yes, although we said that we annihilated the main force of the Yu army stationed in Xincheng outside Luhun Pass, the number of defenders led by Wei Hua is still quite large. I didn't expect us to take the city in one siege. ”
"Hehe, this is going to talk about my subordinates, it is my soldiers who broke through the city gates." This is the voice of Luan Yong, the general of the right division, at this time he is complacent, and the first achievement of breaking the city is made by his soldiers.
"General, the people have been brought." The guards reported loudly outside the hall.
Qin Ke heard the voice of the guard, and said loudly: "Bring people in." ”
"Whoa!" The guards took the four people into the lobby, Wang Rong for the first time with the senior generals of Dayong in the same room, this room full of generals, is the command center of the right division at this time, including General Qin Ke, the right division Fenwu general Luan Yong, the right division of the general Qin Chen, the rear division of Zhaowu general He Bing, the rear division of the general Meng Xian, and the right division of the east and west second brigade of Wei Silin and Li Yong, the rear division of the north and south of the second brigade Cui Dongxu, Wang Kuo four lieutenant generals, can be said to be star-studded, at this time if the Yu army has a trebuchet to smash the boulder here, The right division and the rear division immediately had to collapse.
