Text Chapter 301 Early Morning Mutation
Zhou Deyi, a staff master from a poor background, actually launched a burst of emotion after eating. All of a sudden, a group of old men in the hall fell into a whirlpool of bittersweet memories.
"Hey, you're still complaining about bitterness? You haven't seen bitterness, I followed the adults on the march in the wilderness, and I didn't find anything to eat for ten days in a row! Tsk, I thought at that time, if anyone could give me a white-flour cake at that time, when I was reckless, I would definitely give me a hundred taels of gold in return. ”
"We too, at that time, we were also fighting against the Cloudless Country, and in order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, we stood in the river for half a night in the winter. Haha, it was at that time that I left this old cold leg. But don't say it, as long as the weather changes, my old cold leg will know it immediately. Hehe, it can be regarded as adding a passive skill to yourself!"
......
In the hall, the more everyone chatted, the hotter and hotter, the pride that swallowed mountains and rivers back then, seemed to be ignited by the bowl of gruel of the city lord again, and the gray-haired old men were full of passion again, and everyone put on a look of vowing to fight to the end with the cloudless country.
In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on the city, the guards at the gates of the city shouted gold one after another, trying to retriev the robes that were still fighting the enemy outside the city.
Seeing that three miles outside the west gate of Dragon City, Wei Liren, who was covered in blood, pulled back sharply after piercing the enemy army on the opposite side with a shot, and pulled out the wooden pole spear directly. Before the stabbed man could hit the ground, he turned and killed in another place.
War is like a huge meat grinder, and when Wei Liren was about to reach the next target, he casually raised his arm and wiped a handful of sweat beads and blood splashes from his face.
"It's time to retreat!" he glanced at the sky, then quickly scanned the surrounding scene, and found that he had brought out less than sixty percent of the thousand cavalry left. And judging from everyone's state, although everyone is still in a desperate state of fighting, they are all exhausted, and some of them don't even have the strength to draw their guns after stabbing the enemy. It only relied on the inertia of the horses to retreat backwards to pull out the weapon.
At this moment, the sound of gold on the city gate resounded in the sky like thunder.
Wei Liren perked up and hurriedly shouted: "Mingjin retreat!"
However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the enemy saw that the enemy had the intention of retreating, and immediately chased after him and tried to intercept it.
As soon as the Wei Liren saw this situation, they immediately turned their horses back and rushed into the battlefield to buy more time for their robes to retreat.
In this way, the two sides fought and retreated, and when there were still 200 meters away from the West City Gate, the team led by Wei Liren was less than forty percent left. Despite his deep grief, he knew that if he didn't retreat at this time, he would never have a chance to quit the battlefield.
So, while desperately urging the war horse, holding a spear, and killing left and right, he shouted in his mouth: "Brothers, speed up and retreat to the city!"
At this time, the archers on the walls finally began to support. The rain of arrows falling from the sky fell densely among the enemy troops, causing the opponent's pursuit to come to a temporary standstill.
"Seize the opportunity and rush into the city!" Wei Liren's voice was completely hoarse, and every time he shouted a word, the unbearable pain in his throat made him feel painful.
However, under his shout, about 300 cavalrymen jumped onto the drawbridge and rushed towards the city.
"Whew! I'm almost done!" Wei Liren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the last cavalryman also jumped onto the suspension bridge. He immediately turned his horse's head around and planned to follow him into the city.
However, just as he stepped onto the suspension bridge on his horse, a sharp arrow several times larger than an ordinary arrow came at a rapid speed, and only a "poof" sound was heard, and the huge arrow went straight through the back of his head and through his throat. Wei Liren fell off his horse in a stagger, and before he could even shout for help, he fell headlong on the drawbridge and died.
When the subordinates who entered the city before him were killed by the enemy in order to help him, they were tormented one by one. Some people with strong personalities even plan to rush directly into the enemy camp to avenge their superiors.
However, as soon as they entered the city, the soldiers in charge of security immediately took away their horses and weapons. and called Lang Zhong to bandage and treat them.
This is the case with Wei Liren, and the situation of several other generals is also worrying. Zhao Liangji, who was located outside the southern city gate, although he safely withdrew after hearing the sound of Mingjin, only brought back less than 100 people with a thousand cavalry.
Compared with them, the three who were even worse were Wan Dahu, Du Yuanbai and Shu Zhanyun, because they led too many troops, so after Mingjin, before they had time to retreat, the enemy army suddenly launched a full-scale siege.
Huge boulders fell from the sky one by one, and rockets and arrows slanted down like a torrential rain. In the midst of the opponent's earth-shattering drums, the soldiers and horses of the Cloudless Kingdom came out in unison, rushing forward one by one without dying.
A rare battle once again stirred up a bloody storm, and the troops led by Wan Dahu and Du Yuanbai immediately fell into the encirclement of the enemy.
When Shu Zhanyun was just approaching the northern gate, he was hit by a stone thrown by the enemy army with a stone thrower. Due to the overcrowding of the team, there were numerous casualties for a while. Shu Zhanyun was directly smashed to death under the boulder, and he didn't even find a shadow.
Since the east gate was the focus of the enemy's attack, it was also attacked the most. After several rounds of catapult attacks, there were already many gaps in the eastern wall, and the ensuing rockets forced the army inside to repair them.
Subsequently, under the cover of trebuchets, siege chariots and various siege equipment were gathered under the breached walls.
Under the command of the enemy generals, some people quickly erected siege ladders, while others directly excavated the city walls.
Seeing that the situation in Dragon City was becoming more and more crisis, Qiu Yuanlong and Lin Shouchun, who were in charge of the defense of the East Gate at this time, were completely anxious.
"It's not okay to go on like this! we have to think of other ways!" Qiu Yuanlong stared at the fire that fell from the sky in annoyance, and said to Lin Shouchun beside him.
At this time, due to the use of rockets and stone throwers near Dongcheng, one after another intact buildings were turned into ruins, and the broken eaves were like broken walls.
The smell of blood-red fish permeated the dead and noisy ruins. The wails and fires that had just dissipated bloomed like flowers in the sky again. Seeing that the surroundings of Dragon City were full of hideous and terrifying remains, the strong smell of blood made people feel suffocated in despair.
"Let Yuwen Longfei immediately take people to collect rolling wood and stones, and the oil pot above the city head will also carry out some defenses, don't let the opponent's rockets fall into it, and destroy this wave of people who came to the city first!" Lin Shouchun did not answer the other party's question. Instead, after thinking about it, he quickly gave orders to his entourage.
At this time, Wan Dahu, who had been completely encircled, was mixed in by several personal guards. One of the younger soldiers stuck the arrow in his right arm, but his eyes were still wide, and with his unskilled left hand, he slashed at the surrounding enemy troops with a desperate slash. Beside him, a bloodied guard had red eyes, and with each slash of the long knife in his hand, he roared loudly, like a badly wounded beast.
The horses that were originally under the crotch had already been killed and injured at this time, after all, the opponent's gun array was really not easy to break out.
"Tiger, it seems that we can't leave today!How about it?, why don't we escort you first?" one of the guards wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked up at the rising sun, and spoke.
"it! So many of my brothers are lying here, what am I afraid of? Even if my head falls off, it is just a scar the size of a bowl. But then again, according to the previous agreement, if someone escapes, the parents of the brothers will be entrusted to him. If everyone dies here, then everyone can only be blamed!" Wan Dahu shouted.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's kill one and earn one! Brothers, even if we die, we will die vigorously, let them see our determination to see Dragon City. A soldier on the left side of Wan Dahu stared at the corpse in front of him with red eyes, kicked over the corpse in front of him, roared loudly, and directly raised his knife and slashed over. The enemy in front of him flashed with cold light, and he also raised his sword to block, but at that moment, his body suddenly froze, and then he looked up at the sky, and finally looked very unwilling. Even after death, he didn't close his eyes.
At this moment, seeing that the few troops and horses sent by Longcheng also fought hard all night, due to the final strength and outnumbering, most of them became homeless and lonely ghosts.
......
The sunlight shone on Shen Feng's windowsill, and the roaring war drums and thunder stones outside finally woke Shen Feng up in a daze.
I saw him wake up in a daze, blink his sleepy eyes a few times, and habitually touch his side, but found that he didn't touch anything. He sat up sharply, and while hurriedly putting on his clothes, he shouted eagerly, "Wakayanagi, Wakayanagi, where have you been?"
"Xianggong is up?" Mei Ruoliu, who was busy outside, immediately rushed over when she heard Shen Feng calling herself, looked at him happily, and said softly: "Why don't Xianggong sleep for a while?" The slave family saw that Xianggong was sleeping deeply, so he got up and planned to get you some food. Why don't you wait here? Or do you just go over and wash up, and then wait here for me?"
"Forget it, let Xiao Er go over with what to eat, you have also worked hard all night, have a good rest!" Shen Feng saw that Mei Ruoliu was busy again, so he persuaded distressedly.
"Hehe, Xianggong, I'm afraid it won't work today, there are only two of us left in this store now, and there is no Xiaoer at all!" Mei Ruoliu came to Shen Feng, gently tidied up Shen Feng's somewhat messy clothes with her hands, and said with a smile.
"Huh?" Shen Feng looked at Mei Ruoliu in surprise, not understanding what she was talking about.
