Chapter 493: Breaking the Siege

Dongyi attempted to cooperate with the outside world, and after the plan to capture Cheongju was shattered, he officially launched an attack during the day of the second day. The strong siege of the city for three consecutive days not only caused heavy damage to the Da Zhou side, but also caused more than half of the casualties on the Dongyi side.

At this moment, although the shouts of killing are endless, the offensive and defensive sides are actually all at the end of the crossbow. The soldiers under the city are also moving slowly. After all, people are flesh and blood, how can they not be tired?

The Great Zhou soldiers on the city wall were already tired and unable to stand on their feet at this time. Shen Hongjun didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights, and his eyes were already bloodshot at this time, which looked terrifying. "Hold on a little longer, the people below are tired enough. As long as we can withstand the next round of attacks, it is estimated that they will not be able to stand it. I don't believe it, if we are tired, aren't they tired? ”

Sure enough, the attack from below began again. It's just that this time, the people below are not as fast as before, and they have become a little slow. There were no more logs left in the city, and even the houses in the city were torn down by them to ward off the enemy. At this moment, you can really only wait for these people to attack, and then make a hard blow.

"All ready, success or failure is here, whether we can hold the city or not, it's at this time." Shen Hongjun shouted loudly.

In the past three days and three nights, in the face of twice the enemy army of their own, the attack was as fast as the tide, and the soldiers of Da Zhou showed the most tenacious side. And at this moment, it will be a crucial battle, as long as this time they can defeat their attack again, for a while, Dongyi will not dare to attack again.

Everyone knew everything in their hearts, so they cheered up their spirits, and even if they tried their last breath, they were determined not to let the enemy attack.

The sun leapt out of the ground and brought light to the land. Everyone was bathed in the warm morning sun, and their mood became more and more calm.

Suddenly, a soldier stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, "Marshal, look, is that the banner of our Great Zhou in the distance?" ”

Shen Hongjun suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and sure enough, in the rear of the Dongyi army, a lot of soldiers and horses appeared. Among them, there are several large flags, and the flags of the Great Zhou are clearly on them. "Sure enough, reinforcements arrived. Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. ”

Those who came from afar were naturally the reinforcements led by Shen Liang. He ordered all the flags to be hung up, so that when the people in the city saw it, they would know that reinforcements were coming, and their morale would be greatly increased.

Although the reinforcements were also rushing one after another, they had rested on the way, and their physical strength was okay. At this moment, Shen Liang led the army, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and directly rushed to the rear of the Dongyi army.

30,000 reinforcements is not much, but in the face of those Dongyi soldiers who have exhausted their physical strength, this physical advantage is still extremely huge. Shen Liang took the lead, waved the spear in his hand, and directly entered the crowd. The people behind did not show weakness, they were really like tigers entering a flock, quickly reaping the lives of the enemy.

Yun Xue rode on the horse, the sword in his hand burst with cold light, and slashed directly towards the enemy in front of him, at this moment, he didn't have to worry about the moves, as long as he could kill the enemy.

Seeing this situation, Shen Hongjun in the city directly ordered someone to open the city gate, "Let's go, let's go out and fight with them, it's too uncomfortable these days, brothers, fight with them." So saying, he led the people and rushed out.

The Dongyi soldiers under the city were attacked by the enemy at the moment, and they soon couldn't hold on. At this time, they also did not care about the military order, and many people turned around and ran. If there is one who takes the lead, the rest of the people will follow, and for a while, the thirty or forty thousand soldiers under the city are all in chaos. Countless people were killed, trampled to death by the hooves of horses and galloping men.

Victory or defeat was a short period of time, and those enemy troops who were still besieging the city just now had already scattered and fled at this moment.

Shen Hongjun shouted, "The generals will listen to the order, follow me to the other three city gates, and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop." After saying that, he led the way towards the east gate.

Shen Liang took reinforcements and followed behind Shen Hongjun, and everyone went all the way from the North City Gate to the East City Gate, then to the South City Gate, and finally to the West City Gate. The soldiers defending the city had already received the news, and at this time they also opened the city gate and fought fiercely with the enemy army. And the soldiers of Dongyi have no intention of fighting at this moment, and many of them have fled.

Shen Hongjun led his troops to chase after him for a while, killed a lot of enemy soldiers, and then led his troops back to Qingzhou City. After all, their physical strength is already exhausted, and if they reluctantly pursue again, they are afraid that it will be even more dangerous. After this battle, Dongyi's vitality was greatly damaged, and in a short period of time, he would no longer have the ability to counterattack. Da Zhou should also take this opportunity to take a little rest.

After everyone had entered the city, Shen Hongjun had time to talk to Shen Liang, "I didn't expect you to return so soon." Thanks to the timely rescue of your troops, otherwise the big guy would have choked enough. Shen Hongjun stretched out his hand and slapped Shen Liang's shoulder.

Shen Liang smiled, "Originally, it was the duty of his subordinates. By the way, marshal, someone wants to see you. Shen Liang said, then turned back to look for it, and finally found Yun Xue covered in blood in the crowd. Why don't you come over yet? He beckoned to Yun Xue.

Yun Xue walked out of the crowd and came to Shen Hongjun's face, Yingying's eyes looked at the haggard lover in front of her with distress and reluctance. "Zhiyuan, I'm here." Yun Xue said softly.

Shen Hongjun was about to reach out and rub his eyes, he never imagined that Yun Xue would appear here. "Cher? Is it really you? Shen Hongjun came to Yun Xue in two steps, and reached out to hold Yun Xue into his arms. God, I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

Yun Xue raised her head and reached out to caress Shen Hongjun's somewhat pale face. At this time, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshots. On his lips and chin, there was blue and black stubble, and his lips were chapped and his skin was bursting. Such a haggard Shen Hongjun made Yun Xue feel distressed. "Zhiyuan, you have suffered."

The people around them all looked at their boss in amazement, what was going on? Why did their generalissimo suddenly hold a small soldier in his arms? Still so affectionate? Did they miss something?

Yun Zhen and Tianfu both looked at the two people in front of them with a smile. "Eldest sister, this is in public, why don't you pay attention?" Yun Zhen said loudly deliberately.

Yun Xue's body stiffened, and she turned her head to look at where the voice came from, "Yun Zhen? Tianfu? Are you all right? ”

The huge surprise hit Yun Xue at once, making Yun Xue's eyes blur all of a sudden. She left Shen Hongjun's arms and threw herself in front of Yun Zhen and Tianfu at once, trembling her hands, gently stroking the warm faces of her two younger brothers. "It's true, you two are fine. Great, great, my brothers are not dead, they are still alive. ”

Tears slid down her cheeks, and Yun Xue's heart, which had been hanging since she learned the news, finally fell at this moment. "Shall I just say? When did the boy of our Han family become so mischievous? Where could they die so easily? Sure enough, it was fine, it was fine. Yun Xue was a little incoherent.

Yun Zhen and Tianfu stepped forward and hugged Yun Xue, "Eldest sister, we're fine." I'm worried about you. Looking at Yun Xue's performance, they can also understand that the news of their death must have reached the ears of the eldest sister. That's why the eldest sister is so excited when she sees them.

Yun Xue cried for a while, and finally got better. "Look at me, I'm crying when I see you. By the way, Yun Zhen, Jinxiu gave birth to a son for you. Twenty-five born on that day. Yun Xue hurriedly told her brother the good news.

Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, "No, it shouldn't be a day." ”

"She was irritated when she heard the news of your death, and her stomach ached. Fortunately, there are clouds and ni, and there are thrilling children who gave birth to children. Now adults and children are fine, you don't have to worry. Yun Xue briefly told Yun Zhen about the matter.

Yun Zhen was distressed, he could imagine, but how critical the situation was. Giving birth to a child is like stepping into a ghost gate for a woman, not to mention that Jinxiu is like this, and she gives birth ahead of schedule before the day comes, and the situation is even more dangerous. Fortunately, there are clouds, otherwise, I really can't imagine what the result would be.

"Alright, let's all go and rest, don't stand here and talk." Shen Hongjun stepped forward and hugged Yun Xue's shoulder. "Okay, let's all rest, let people prepare food immediately, the big guy is hungry, let's hurry up and eat something."

The people around who were watching the excitement somewhat understood at this time that the one who was being held by the marshal seemed to be Yun Zhen's sister. There are those who were originally with Shen Hongjun who knew that this was the marshal's sweetheart. So, a group of people and others found a place to rest, and the Huotou army hurriedly washed rice and cooked, and for a while, the city was very busy.

Shen Hongjun took Yun Xue's hand, and the two returned to Shen Hongjun's residence in the city side by side. This Qingzhou City, in fact, is not very big, compared to Changbai County, it is slightly inferior. The place where Shen Hongjun lives is an official office, and the house is quite average, but it is okay to shelter from the wind and rain.

Gao Li's residence is generally a big kang when you enter the door. Shen Hongjun pulled Yun Xue, and the two of them sat directly on the kang, "It's so dangerous on the battlefield, why did you come with it?" In the future, you are resolutely not allowed to follow the adventure, do you hear? At this time, Shen Hongjun's face changed, and he looked at Yun Xue fiercely.

Yun Xue was not afraid of him, snuggled into his arms, and said softly, "People are worried about you, besides, Yun Zhen and Tianfu's life and death are unknown, I have to come over and take a look, right?" I promised Jinxiu that I would find Yun Zhen and bring Yun Zhen back. ”

"Besides, don't you want me? I came to see you from so far away, and you didn't appreciate it, and you still murdered me? Yun Xue deliberately made a grievance, and Shui Yingying's eyes looked at Shen Hongjun.
