Chapter 33: The Fall of Loucheng

As soon as the sky was hazy, the Xia army began a small-scale attack, all of which were disturbing the gate of Loucheng with a hundred heavy infantry, and the defenders of Loucheng fought back with bows and arrows on the city wall, but bows and arrows had little effect on the strong infantry with heavy armor.

General Yang Chongxing saw that the enemy was using the method of attrition, and immediately ordered, "Stop attacking with arrow feathers, and hit me with stones," The soldiers quickly transported stones of different sizes in the city of Loucheng onto the city wall, and sure enough, the heavy infantry of the Xia Kingdom was forced back by several waves of hundred-man squads by the raindrops of stones thrown by the soldiers defending the city of Orbin.

Qiu Weijie ordered General Cong in the Shuai camp, "From this moment on, you will lead 10,000 soldiers from the headquarters and conduct a wheel battle for the commander until Lou Cheng is defeated,"

After the general gave a "whoosh", they all walked to the encampment area of their own troops, and quickly put their troops in order.

The early sun just shone on the city (gate) tower on the gate of the city, the first batch of attacking troops of the Xia Kingdom had already attacked under the city wall, the soldiers set up countless ladders, all climbed along the ladder net city wall, the soldiers defending the city used stones, bows and arrows to give a fierce counterattack, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers left in the first wave of attacking soldiers of the Xia Kingdom in the half-burnt incense time.

Immediately after the second wave of 10,000 people, the first wave of the remaining 1,000 people all retreated, the same attack, but a small part of the second 10,000 people group attacked the city tower, Marshal Qiu Weijie, who was watching the battle from a distance, was even more golden and shining in the sunlight at this moment, and he ordered, "The third team attacks." ”

With a wave of the golden hand flag, another Xia army trampled on the corpses of the two soldiers left on the battlefield last night and rushed towards the gate of Loucheng. The remaining 2,000 people of the second team also retreated.

Although most of the third 10,000-strong regiment attacked the city wall, Qiu Weijie, the commander of the Xia State, did not let the third army withdraw until all of them were killed.

After the shouting stopped, Qiu Weijie rode to the city wall of Loucheng alone, one was the supreme commander of 300,000 soldiers in the Xia Kingdom, and the other was a white tiger with a foot long, and the fangs were exposed, and the breath exposed by his eyes seemed to be able to swallow everyone except Qiu Weijie.

Yang Chongxing, who was on the city tower, also shuddered when he saw this beast.

"I heard that General Yang was brave and brave, and he really lived up to his reputation after this battle. General Yang might as well surrender, the contemptible people give the general an hour to retreat, how about you retreat as much as you want, and if you can't go, the contemptible people who can't go will be slaughtered when they enter the city, and the livestock will not be left?"

General Yang Chongxing stood on the city tower and said in a loud voice: "The one riding the little flower cat below must be the first yin man of the Xia Kingdom, Qiu Bandao? ”

It turned out that this Qiu Weijie was a Dacheng stage cultivator and a member of the Liuli Sect, and he was still a senior brother with the few Liuli Sect people that Ban Yu Chu An killed in the Ghost Fall Forest last time. It's just that this Qiu Weijie is too smart, and the king of the Xia Kingdom invited him to the court as a high-ranking official and waited for him, but this Liulizong actually has a complementary relationship with the Great Xia Empire, but no one knows about it.

"Ben Shuai sees that you are a bloody man, the opportunity is given to you, you must know how to cherish it. Are you so anxious to die in another country?" Qiu Weijie said with cold contempt.

"Joke, the huge Orbin Empire is my home everywhere, and the land can bury me, my husband was born in heaven and earth, and he was born to be a loyal monarch of the country, so why should he return the body of the horse leather when he dies. You, the second half of the monk, want to fight, why do you need to make this one. Do you really think that you are the smartest person in the world?" General Yang Chongxing said with a smile.

Marshal Qiu Weijie smiled and said nothing, Yuhu turned around and went to his own camp.

The fourth wave of Xia 10,000 troops easily attacked the city tower, and as soon as General Yang Chongxing retreated with the soldiers, the Xia army easily opened the gate of the city tower.

The army of Xia Guo rushed in, and after a moment of fighting, the army of Xia Guo surrounded General Yang Chongxing of Orbin, and there was a little soldier covered with wounds, the little soldier held a military flag in his hand, and the little guy looked only sixteen or seventeen years old to the naked eye. The immature eyes reveal that they are indeed firm and tenacious. The flag had been stained red with blood, and had even turned black.

General Yang had a broken hand, and the armor on his body had already been cut into a mess, and he held a big knife and pestle on the ground with one hand, looking at the countless Xia soldiers and asking the soldiers beside him, "How old are you this year?"

"Report to the general, seventeen just finished today"

"Seventeen...... Are you afraid, kid?"

"Report to the general, don't be afraid. Defend the country and don't be afraid. ”

Yang Chongxing glanced at the milky little soldier boy who had not dried up, and suddenly thought: "This kid was discovered last month because he was stealing meat that had just been cooked by the chef in the army. He was also fined ten military sticks by himself, and he was originally going to be beaten with thirty military sticks, but when he was young, he was beaten with ten military sticks. ”

Xiao Bing looked at General Yang Chongxing looking at him, he just smiled stupidly, and he was still smirking all over his body.

General Yang also showed the warmest smile and said, "Does it hurt, child?"

Xiaobing replied with a smile, "It doesn't hurt, I didn't have parents since I was a child, they all begged for a living, the general didn't punish him heavily, and it didn't hurt when those gangsters and rich people were begging...... Hey hey"

"In the next life, I will be your father," General Yang Chongxing said with tears in his eyes. In fact, Yang Chongxing asked Xiao Bing if the injuries on his body hurt! However, Xiao Bing deliberately replied that it didn't hurt to be beaten by the ten military sticks.

"Good," the soldier said happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, General Yang raised his knife and slashed at the Xia army, but the spears that came from all directions stabbed the two of them into a blur of flesh and blood.

War, why war? Do we want to fight for right and wrong? Or do we want to prove that I am strong and you are weak? Or is it just to possess everything from the other side? Everything is right, the fault is just that the selfish desires of the power players are too strong.

The city fell. In addition to the women and children who had already been evacuated, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were wiped out, as well as the 70,000 soldiers and soldiers assembled by General Yang Chongxing in Nanping Prefecture. The Xia army suffered 70,000 casualties.

At this time, the 100,000 soldiers of the Yang family led by Yang Chongzhi had just passed more than 100 miles from the junction of Wuxian and Nanping Prefecture, and more than 700 miles away from the fallen Loucheng.

It's just that even if the whole army doesn't eat, drink, sleep, and travels day and night, he still can't reach Loucheng for three days. However, the building city has been broken, and it is the first small city in the jurisdiction of Nanping Prefecture in more than eighty miles.

At noon on the second day, the 220,000 troops of the Xia State were stationed outside the city. This Qiu Weijie, every time he wants to attack a city or a pass, he must go outside the pass or outside the city to camp troops for a day.

In the city, women and children were also evacuated first, and only more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were left to resist with a mortal mentality.

In the famous tavern, an old man yelled at his daughter, "Why are you so disobedient, women and girls must be evacuated, why are you so disobedient to your father!"

"I'm not going unless my dad comes with me," the girl said.

"Daddy can still cook and make a fire if he stays, what can you do if you stay? Listen to Daddy's words and run for your life first, and when the Xia people are driven away, Daddy will come to pick you up and go home." ”

The girl burst into tears and said, "If I stay, I can also fight with the Xia people, I won't leave, where is my father, where am I." It turned out to be Yuan Sisi and his father, as well as some guys and cooks in the store. Everyone was persuading Yuan Sisi to evacuate with the others.

But he wouldn't.

At this moment, Ban Yu came in from outside the door, looking at Yuan Sisi and Congdao, who were crying, "You don't have to go anywhere, I'm here, I'll take care of you." ”
