Chapter 683: The Food Bottoms Out!
"Kill!"
Sonorous! Sonorous! Poof!
After a few clashing sounds, the Japanese soldiers with armor were much stronger than the Huns, who were not good at attacking cities!
A knife directly disemboweled the Huns.
However, the Huns' attacks were uninterrupted, and this one had just disposed of the Huns who had come up, but another Huns had already climbed up the ladder.
Fortunately, the Japanese army was not fighting alone, just when the Japanese soldier was about to raise his knife and fight again, a musketeer next to him had already pulled the trigger on the Hun soldier who had just rushed up!
The next moment, a pungent smell of oil permeated, and then a handful of fire light poured out from the musket nozzle in the hands of the musketeer, and in the blink of an eye, the Hun who had just come up was burned into a burning man!
The disappearance of the target couldn't help but make the Japanese soldiers who were originally ready to continue fighting breathe a sigh of relief, but then they hurriedly took two steps forward to the edge of the city wall, raised the long knife in their hands and aimed at the ladder that hooked the head of the city and slashed down!
If the ladder is not destroyed, the Huns will continue to pour upwards, and sooner or later they will not be able to resist.
Since the commander Song Deren received the order to take out musketeers and crossbowmen three days ago, the Huns were not only afraid, but they were still launching a continuous offensive in the face of huge casualties, and they did not give the Japanese army any time to rest.
In fact, just as some courtiers speculated, the reason why these two weapons were not directly used in the first place was because the consumption of these two weapons was huge, and the Japanese army could not replenish it on its own.
Especially the musketeers, the reason why they are so powerful is because of the fierce fire oil in the fierce fire cabinet behind their backs, which is the most important resource of the musketeers.
However, at present, the fierce fire oil stored by the Japanese army is purchased from Yunzhou County, and the quantity is limited, and the arrows of the crossbow are even more so.
Since the standard assembly line has been used, the specifications of the arrows suitable for crossbows are different from those in the Kannai.
The arrows made in the gate are either big or small, and they are easy to break the repeater.
Therefore, in order to save some of these two reserves, both Song Deren and Zhao Duan defaulted to saving this thing for the critical moment before using it.
In fact, it was indeed used at a critical moment, but to their surprise, the Huns were not afraid, but fought as if they had received a stimulus!
In the past three days, the soldiers who supported the Japanese army did not know how to defend it, the Huns continued to attack, they kept killing the Huns who rushed up, and the cycle continued, and they were numb to the killing!
But the Huns continued to attack as if they could not see casualties!
"General! It can't go on like this!
It's been three days in a row, and the brothers' spirits are very tight, and they must be replaced with a group of people to rest, otherwise I am afraid that in another day at most, the brothers' spirits will collapse! ”
Jiang Wei, the deputy commander of the Japanese army, looked at the brothers around him whose eyes were bloodshot and distressed, and said to the commander Song Deren with a worried face.
Song Deren shook his head with a wry smile: "Do you think that Ben General doesn't know that the brothers are about to reach the limit?"
But now there is no one available in the hands of the general, according to the current offensive of the Huns, if we withdraw a group of people to rest at this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Huns can successfully attack the city!
You can't see how crazy the Huns are these days, you yourself say that in this case, do I dare to let people go back to rest? ”
Jiang Wei turned his head to look at the endless stream of Huns like cockroaches everywhere in the city, and immediately understood that his general was right, these Huns were crazy!
How can anyone fight like this, and doesn't this cost the lives of his own people in vain to consume the defenders?
But the brothers really can't hold it anymore!
Just when Jiang Wei was in a dilemma, Song Deren suddenly asked, "How many more people do we have?" ”
Jiang Wen recalled it and immediately replied:
"Yesterday night when there were only 12 small armies left, even though the Huns' crazy attack in the past three days caused a lot of casualties, but we were also forcibly replaced by the other side for a lot, plus the previous losses. Now there are only 12 troops left.
General, the people who died were all the elites of the Japanese army, how could they have fought such a humiliating battle! ”
"12 small armies, that is, about 30,000 people, are there only these people left?"
Song Deren raised his eyes and looked at the lower city, under the offensive of the Huns in the past few days, he could only roughly calculate that the exchange rate between his side and the Huns' side was one to nine!
That is, there are 110,000 Xiulu here, and about 90,000 people can die on that side.
However, the battle can not be counted like this, the siege team of the Huns is mixed with a large number of cannon fodder and captured people, and the people who were killed are many of the people who were used as cannon fodder by the Huns, and the real Huns casualties will not exceed 30,000, which means that there are at least 200,000 people in the hands of the Huns.
And they only have these 30,000 horses left in their hands to support the Japanese army!
200,000 against 30,000, the other side still has countless cannon fodder prisoners to attack together, which is extremely unfavorable for the Japanese army!
Looking at the soldiers around him, Song Deren sighed and turned around.
Jiang Wei was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "General, where are you going?" ”
"Ask Your Majesty for help! At this point, even if it's just one more young man to help defend the city!
The Japanese army can't be emptied like this, we are already the only fighting force in the imperial city, if we are really consumed by the Huns like this, then Bianjing City will really become the other party's racetrack, and no one can stop it! ”
After Song Deren's simple answer, he went down the city wall and headed towards the palace without looking back.
Jiang Wei's spirits were also lifted after hearing Song Deren's thoughts again, and he hurriedly said loudly to the soldiers: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, the general has gone to the palace to ask for help, and the reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
His words are undoubtedly like a stimulant for the current Japanese army, which has temporarily boosted their morale.
And this one, Song Deren had already arrived at the palace on horseback.
When Zhao Duan learned that Song Deren came in person, he could guess the other party's intention, and he had always paid attention to the situation in the city, so he probably knew that the current Japanese army was indeed about to be unable to hold on.
In the past two days, Ye Wei has come to him for help for several days, and he just sent him away again.
Now that even Song Deren has come in person, it seems that he really can't hold on.
While asking Cao Shuang to bring Song Deren here, Zhao Duan also asked people to grind ink and began to write the edict.
When Song Deren was brought to Funing Palace, the edict in Zhao Duan's hand had already been written.
Song Deren finished his salute and was about to speak: "Your Majesty! Chengtou ......"
Zhao Duan directly raised his hand to stop his words, but beckoned him to step forward.
Song Deren took two steps forward, and just saw an edict that had just been written on Zhao Duan's case, an edict that recruited the young people of Bianjing to defend the city!
As soon as he raised his head, Song Deren's eyes met Zhao Duan's, and Zhao Duan's voice was heard in his ears:
"Song Aiqing, the food in Bianjing City is about to bottom out, it's time to fight to the death!"
"Shhh
