Chapter 552: Old Qin, go to the country together
"Get on the horse, Zhengyang Army, gallop to the aid of Beishuiguan!"
Leaving the command post, Meng Wu came to the Zhengyang Army garrison non-stop, pulled out the combat knife at his waist, and gave an order.
In front of him, the 30,000 Zhengyang Army, who were sharpening their knives, raised their resolute faces and shouted in unison:
"Yes!"
The 30,000 Zhengyang army opened and left Xugong Town, naturally they couldn't avoid the eyes and ears of Meng Leopard in the army, and when Meng Bao heard the news, he was furious.
Coming to the high slope outside the town, Meng Leopard waved his knife and stood:
"Meng Wu! You dare to disobey the orders of this commander! Are you going to rebel! ”
Meng Wu rode a war horse, walked to him, drew his knife, did not retreat, and raised his eyebrows coldly:
"Outside the Beishui Pass, our army is fighting bloody battles with Rong Di! Meng Bao, as the commander of the army, but you delayed the military plane, and wanted to use Rong Di's hand to kill my compatriots! ”
"I'm Mengwu! I don't want to be with you! ”
"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be shed, and the truce will not be sworn out!"
"Zhengyang Army, listen to my orders, and rush to the aid of Beishui Pass!"
"Yes! Obey the general's orders! Rush to the aid of Beishuiguan! ”
The 30,000 Zhengyang troops roared in unison, fully armed, their armor clanged, and passed in front of Meng Bao in turn.
Meng Bao clenched the knife in his hand, and the roar of the 30,000 Zhengyang Army echoed in his ears, and suddenly, he put down the knife again.
Call.
He let out a heavy breath.
Meng Bao looked at the 30,000 Zhengyang troops in the distance, motionless. The generals who were familiar with Meng Wu stood on the high slope, looking at the 30,000 Zhengyang troops who knew that they were going to die, and no one turned back, he couldn't help but hold his hands, his lips squirmed, and he spit out a few words with difficulty:
"Congratulations, Zhengyang Army!"
——
——
Outside the Beishui Pass, the momentum of Rong Di's siege of the city is far from stopping, Rong Di's trebuchet has smashed the city tower to pieces, and under the city wall, Rong Di's corpses are piled up layer after layer.
In the face of the non-stop siege of more than 100,000 Rongdi troops, the number of defenders on the city wall of less than 5,000 is getting smaller and smaller, and everyone has long been exhausted, numbly pulling the trigger, opening the bow and shooting arrows, or swinging knives.
Meng Changge cut off the head of a Rong Di soldier with a knife, raised his foot, and kicked him down the city, and Rong Di on the ladder fell down with a bang, and the wailing continued.
"Chen Chao, it's not a way to go on like this." Meng Changge said in a condensed voice.
"I know."
Chen Chao's voice sounded obviously anxious.
"Xiangye, I'm going to kill the leading General Rong Di!" Ning Baizhi pointed to the center of the army, the general Rong Di on horseback.
Chen Chao shook his head, Wan Jun wanted to kill that general, it was simply a fool's dream.
After thinking about it, Chen Chao lifted a barrel of fire oil from the city wall and poured it down, "Yes, pour fire oil down, build a fire wall, and force Rong Di to retreat." ”
"Yes."
The soldiers who fought bloodily on the city wall all began to carry oil drums and pour fire oil down the city wall.
Not only the fire oil, but everyone threw down all the things that fueled the burning on the city wall, and in a short time, a thick layer of fire oil accumulated under the root of the wall.
Shout.
A rocket was fired.
Rumble!
The fire oil under the wall burned to the ground, and the Rong Di soldiers who were climbing the wall with the help of a ladder were squeaked and screamed, and the fire oil spread instantly, and the entire Beishui Pass seemed to be surrounded by fire.
This wave of oil offensive burned at least 1,000 people to death.
Watching the wall of fire rise, the horn of retreat sounded in the Rongdi military camp.
"Woo-"
"Woo-"
The large army besieging the city immediately retreated, and on the city wall, seeing the embarrassed retreat of Rong Di's army, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
Airplanes!
There was a strange sound, and before everyone could be happy, the sky suddenly darkened, and arrows rose in the sky, shooting straight at the city.
Rumble!
The trebuchet on Rong Di's side also began to operate, and dozens of pounds of stones were thrown at the head of the city, smashing out shallow pits.
"Hidden! Take cover! ”
Those who didn't have time to hide were instantly shot into a hornet's nest by arrows, and although the soldiers holding shields carried the rain of arrows, the stones thrown by the trebuchets were smashed into pulp on the spot—
Before I knew it, it was getting dark again, and the snow was a little heavier.
Under the city wall, the presence of the wall of fire temporarily delayed the offensive of Rong Di's army, but everyone knew that the night was not easy.
Sheltered from the wind, Chen Chao took a few breaths, held his knees, and sat down with difficulty.
Seeing a piercing arrow on his left arm, he reached out and pulled it out, bringing down a long line of blood flowers.
Ning Baizhi stepped forward, took the medicine powder and hurriedly applied the medicine, and finally wrapped it with a cloth.
After a big battle, the rest of the people were more or less injured, but Ning Baizhi was the only one who didn't have it, and he couldn't even see a slight trace of blood on his body.
Chen Chao knew that it was the effect of the dragon blood pill in her body.
As long as it is not a fatal injury, no matter what the injury is, it can be recovered.
"Xiangye, I can kill General Rong Di, take advantage of the night, and have a gun!" Ning Baizhi held a flintlock pistol tightly in her hand, and her round apricot eyes were full of determination.
She believes she can do it!
As long as the general commanded by Rong Di is killed, Rong Di's army will definitely be chaotic, and the people defending the city will have a chance to live.
Chen Chao shook his head and once again rejected Ning Baizhi's proposal.
Not unbelief, but unwillingness.
At this time, Meng Changge walked over, and his body was also full of injuries, and every step was very difficult.
"How much oil is there?" Chen Chao asked.
"Not much."
"All down, as long as you can block."
"Okay."
Meng Changge asked someone to do it immediately, and then she sat down beside Chen Chao, took a sip of water and swallowed it with difficulty, and asked, "We still have ...... How many people? ”
"Less than six hundred......
Everyone was bitter in their hearts, the original 5,000 people, who knew that in just a few days, there were less than 600 left, most of these 600 were injured, and a small half were seriously injured, unable to fight again.
If the fire is extinguished and Rong Di attacks again, Beishui Pass will definitely not be able to hold it.
Now, the Chen Dynasty pinned its only hope on Hou Ji, as long as Hou Ji led people to blow up the snow-capped mountains on both sides and cause an avalanche, Beishui Pass would still be able to hold it.
……
On the cold and windy snow-capped mountains, dozens of figures are carrying ropes on their backs and holding snow picks to climb the smooth snow-capped mountain cliffs with difficulty.
The explosives had to be placed in the right place to cause an avalanche, so they had to climb high enough.
Hou Ji raised his head with difficulty, the top was still not high, and he took a breath and looked down, it was an abyss.
The group had already climbed to a dead end, and if they wanted to continue to climb up, they could only reach a protruding platform a few feet away, and only after they got there could they continue to climb up, but it was impossible to reach that platform with the strength of one person.
"Commander, subordinates are willing to give it a try."
A thin Long Wuwei looked at Hou Ji with determination in his eyes.
Hou Ji nodded, the thin Long Wuwei left the explosives on his body before he acted.
Everyone knew that he was ready to sacrifice.
I saw him holding a snow pickaxe, seeing the right time, a jump, and the snow pickaxe in his hand accurately hooked a stone above, wanting to take the opportunity to swing over.
Everyone didn't dare to gasp, and the thin dragon Wuwei swung his body in the air, and after swinging high enough, he suddenly let go of his hand.
In front of him was a platform close at hand, and his face was beaming with joy.
But as time passed, the joy on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by despair, a little, just a little.
Everyone watched him swing in the air, and when he was about to hit the ground, he fell a little short of it.
Much later.
Boom!
With a sound, everyone closed their eyes bitterly, and their hearts were extremely heavy.
After a few breaths, Hou Ji's voice sounded in his ears again:
"Commander, I'm willing to go!"
Without waiting for Hou Ji to agree, the second Long Wuwei jumped over, his body arcing between the cliffs.
Can.
It's still a little bit worse.
Everyone only felt depressed and uncomfortable, but after a few breaths, several people took off the explosives on their bodies and hugged their fists:
"Commander, subordinates are willing to go!"
"My subordinates are willing to go!"
"Commander, let me go!"
“…… I'll go! ”
Even though he knew that there was a dead end in front of him, even if he knew that he would fall into a pulp if he couldn't jump, none of the people who carried out this mission flinched.
Unconsciously, Hou Ji's eyes were red, and he stood in front of everyone and took off the explosives on his body.
He can't let his subordinates take risks anymore, this is his best kung fu, he has to try it himself.
If he can't jump over, no one needs to try.
But just as he was bending over, he suddenly felt a weight on his back, as if someone had stepped on his back.
"Thirteen Niang!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Hou Ji hurriedly raised his head, it turned out that Thirteen Niang had already stepped on his back when Hou Ji was bent over by taking advantage of the explosives on his body, and jumped over with his strength.
"You're crazy......! Come back! Hou Ji shouted in a gaffe.
Thirteen Niang didn't care about it, she had already jumped out, she raised her strength, swung back and forth in the air a few times, and suddenly let go of her hand.
Everyone didn't dare to look at it directly, only Hou Ji's eyes widened and he didn't blink.
Trample!
"Whew, whew, whew......" Hou Ji gasped for breath, tears bursting out of his eyes.
Thirteen Niang landed safely on the platform a few feet away, took off the rope on her body, and threw it over.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up." Thirteen Niang frowned, pretending not to see the tears in the corners of Hou Ji's eyes.
