Chapter 380: Death Battle

Ye Guan stood in the small courtyard, his position was very far from the city wall, if he wanted to rush to the city wall, it would be there in an instant, but at this moment, Ye Guan was standing quietly in the small courtyard, listening to the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in his ears, and remained silent.

The little colonel who was in charge of serving Ye Guan outside the courtyard was already anxious, but Ye Guan did not have any military orders to convey it, and he did not dare to make the slightest move, so he stood outside the door of the small courtyard like an ant on a hot pot.

Standing in the courtyard, Ye Guan could even see the ripples of fighting spirit flashing above the city from time to time, from this point it is not difficult to see that the enemy's attack is definitely not as simple as a temptation, but Ye Guan is not in a hurry, and he has no intention of helping.

If the 2,000 soldiers on the city wall can't even resist the first wave of the enemy's attack, don't think about the counterattack later, the enemy's strength is several times that of your own and well-equipped. The soldiers of the Eastern Palace's mansion were mainly cavalry, and although they were no longer in battle, in such a situation, if they wanted to defeat the enemy army head-on, the chances of victory were too small.

Ye Guan's strategy is to show the enemy weakness, if he makes a move at this moment, he can immediately relieve the siege of the city wall, but if he does this, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the enemy generals, then he will not go out, and the plan behind will be a complete failure.

Although there is no wave on his face, there is no trace of expression, but in his heart, Ye Guan is more anxious than anyone else, the sergeants who fought bloodily on the city wall are all the children of the East Palace, these are all members of the core army of the East Palace, veterans of a hundred battles. With such a sergeant casualty, Ye Guan felt that his heart was dripping blood. But the present situation did not allow him to hesitate at all.

Gently closing his eyes, Ye Guan turned back, looked at the door, and said softly, "Come in." ”

When the junior colonel at the door heard Ye Guan's call, he immediately took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Guan, and said, "Your subordinates are here, what do you command." He was anxious, thinking to himself that the Commander-in-Chief must have some new plan to let him go.

"You are at the door, and anyone who comes to see you just needs to say that everything is at the disposal of General Ding. With that, Ye Guan turned around in the surprised gaze of the little school, returned to the hut, closed the door gently, and did not say a word.

The little colonel was stunned for a long time and didn't react, the enemy army was attacking the city, listening to this shouting and killing, you can also know that the enemy army is not a tentative attack this time, it must have arranged some killer move, but Ye Guan didn't seem to have the slightest intention of helping, which made the little colonel puzzled. He stood up and stood in the courtyard for a while, but in the end he didn't knock on Ye Guan's door, he was just a small colonel, and he didn't know how the war was going.

Now in charge of the defense of Zhu'an City, it is General Ding Jiang, if he does not come to help, what can he say with a small soldier.

Helplessly, Xiao Xiao stood at the gate of the courtyard again with a frown in an extremely complicated mood, and his ears were filled with the shouts of killing above the city, which made his heart extremely troubled.

Not only him, but in the city, most of the remaining sergeants in charge of defense have this mentality, and they can't wait to rush to the city to support their comrades now, but they are pressed in place by their own generals, not allowing the slightest movement, and the sound of shouting and killing in their ears is not aware of it, just by thinking about it, you can know that even if you win later, your side will pay a painful price, and now if you go to help, such casualties can be completely avoided.

"General!" a centurion looked at his captain, his eyes widened angrily, and said, "The enemy has already reached the door, why don't you let us attack?"

A question immediately attracted several responses, and all the middle-level generals were iron-blooded men, so how could there be any reason to retreat from the battle.

The questioned captain's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "Military order, let us stay here and wait for the order, if you attack without an order, behead!"

The captain's words were categorical, in fact, in his heart, he hated to go up to the city wall now and fight to the death with the enemy, but Ding Jiang ordered twice to let all the generals

The leaders perform their duties, they must not be good at moving without orders, and military orders are like mountains, so they dare not obey.

The centurion glared, and when he heard this, he gritted his teeth fiercely, like a deflated ball, and sat down on the ground with a sigh.

All the sergeants were gearing up and preparing to fight the enemy to the death, but they also knew that Ding Jiang's military order, if it was violated, he would definitely be beheaded immediately, and the military order was like a mountain, which was not a joke.

If you can't move, you can't move, but this does not affect the mood of many sergeants. At this moment, among the defenders of the East Palace, a nameless suppressed fire filled his chest, accumulating more and more.

"Die!"

Ding Jiang waved his long knife, and suddenly slashed at the enemy master who attacked him, this station, the fight was evenly matched, and the armor on Ding Jiang's body was scattered and split by the opponent's fierce knife qi, revealing his solid muscles at this moment, and on his chest, there were two hideous scars, which were left when he attacked the other party.

Killed the opponent, Ding Jiang was a little exhausted, but there was no time for him to rest, at this moment, the city wall was full of enemy soldiers, and they were fighting hand-to-hand with their own soldiers, and several people died every breath.

With his eyebrows condensed, he did not immediately step forward to help, but used his fighting spirit, and angrily swung out a knife to cut off the tower in front of him, and then raised his knife to enter the battle group.

At this point in the battle, there was no need for Ding Jiang to have too much command, and every sergeant almost fought by instinct.

The enemy army on the city wall is still a small number compared to their own sergeants, after all, there are only a few sergeants who can climb the city tower at the same time, at this moment the four city towers have been destroyed, and the remaining two city towers, the enemy army is still climbing the city through its continuous flow, forming its own defensive circle above the city head, and fighting hard with the defending soldiers.

Directly above the city gate, is the city tower of the back gate of Zhu'an City, under the city tower, at this moment a group of enemy troops are escorting the city car to frantically hit the city gate of Zhu'an City, the sergeant in the city tower is desperately attacking downward, whether it is fire oil, rolling wood boulders or strong crossbows, lifeless downward attack, the enemy army under the city has suffered heavy casualties, but the city car that hit the city gate has not stopped.

Ding Jiang carried a long knife and entered the battle group, this time there were not many masters mixed in the enemy army, in the face of many defenders of the East Palace, the effect was not very great, at this moment several people had been killed by several centurions, and the price paid by their own side was even more painful. Ding Jiang didn't have time to think about the casualties, stared at an enemy soldier in the crowd of enemy soldiers waving with a fighting spirit, and killed him directly.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Judging from the current offensive momentum of the enemy's army, there is absolutely no problem for the sergeant of the Dongwangfu to block this attack. The enemy's trebuchets had stopped firing after pushing the tower to attack the city wall, and only the large trebuchets in the distance were still shooting fireballs into Zhu'an City.

Above the city, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers. All the soldiers of Dongwangfu tried their best to slash and kill the enemy, and before long, another tower was destroyed, and the enemy once again lost a passage to the top of the city.

With the destruction of this Push Tower, the number of ordinary enemy troops on the city head has not been replenished, and the number is rapidly decreasing. Even if the temporarily conscripted enemy troops were able to overcome their fears even after simple training and understanding the formation, they still appeared to be low in combat effectiveness in real white-knuckle combat, which was in stark contrast to the fierceness of the soldiers of the Eastern Palace.

In the end, under the frantic attack of the soldiers of the East Palace, most of the enemy troops who jumped on the head of the city were eliminated, and only the last small team remained, which was guarding in front of the last tower of the city, and wanted to fight to kill it, but was blocked in the corner by the soldiers who defended the city, and the enemy who wanted to jump down on the tower was also shot by the bow and crossbow and fell straight from the tower.

Ding Jiang gasped, and a few more wounds were filled on his body, and in desperation, he himself killed two martial arts level masters by himself, and he was already a little exhausted at the moment, and among the enemy army, there were at least two monks of the same level as himself. this

Ding Jiang, who was carving, was already red-eyed, pointed at the last group of enemy soldiers in front of him with the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!"

Immediately, the knife was put on. The sergeants behind him immediately swarmed up and surrounded the enemy legions, and the sound of swords colliding with each other was heard again.

In the end, the two warrior-level enemy soldiers were forced to jump straight from the city wall and were able to save their lives, but the ordinary enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall were all killed.

"Enemy attack!"

Just killed the last enemy soldier, Ding Jiang took a breath a little, and was just about to give the order to clean up the battlefield, when he heard the sentry on the guard tower on the side shouting, he immediately looked into the distance, and saw a group of enemy troops of the same size as just now, clapping a neat phalanx, approaching the direction of the city.

Ding Jiang immediately frowned, turned his head to look at the defensive sergeants above the city, almost everyone of them hung up the lottery, the battlefield has not been counted, Ding Jiang does not know how many people he has lost in this battle, but looking at the current situation, if these sergeants want to fight again, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

At the city gate, under the constant attack of the tower sergeant, the siege vehicle team at the city gate was finally eliminated, and the siege vehicle that had been hitting the city gate stopped, and there was no longer the sound of hitting the city gate.

Ding Jiang frowned and thought about it for a while, and immediately made a decision, only to hear him say loudly: "The fourth and fifth brigades will go down to repair immediately, and immediately change the sixth or seventh brigade for me, quickly! Don't take anything, go down and repair immediately!"

With Ding Jiang's order, the defenders above the city head immediately moved and quickly descended the city wall from two stairs. The two brigades on the left and right who were on standby were impatient to wait, and when they heard Ding Jiang's military order, they boarded the city as soon as possible.

After completing the change of defense, Ding Jiang looked at the movement of the enemy army, and had not yet entered the range of the bow and crossbow.

"All the idea, attack freely, the main attack on the enemy's push tower, damn it, these grandsons have installed a master among the ordinary sergeants, all the centurions listen to me, if any push tower is approaching, you immediately give me a top, don't let any enemy come down!" Ding Jiang saw that his change of defense had been completed, and he snorted and ordered loudly.

"Honorable order!" The sergeants immediately responded, and then Ding Jiang let out a long breath, kicked an enemy corpse at his feet down the city wall, and leaned against the battlements to rest a little.

As soon as he sat down, a medical officer came up and asked him to bandage his wounds, but he didn't look at it, but closed his eyes and rested himself.

The previous group of enemy troops did not retreat, but remained under the city and continued to hold out, and in the distance, another phalanx was advancing towards the city wall.

The enemy's strategy is very simple, go forward and follow, and use constant attacks to find flaws in the defense of the city wall. The advantage of equipment and equipment makes it easier for them to advance to the edge of the city wall, and it is much easier to climb the city wall than before.

However, after the previous days of fighting, the siege equipment destroyed before the city wall and the corpses of the dead soldiers were piled up, making it more difficult for the siege equipment to move forward.

"Hoo ......"

The sound of the fireball cutting through the air came, and the soldiers of the East Wangfu fought bloodily, but there was no way to deal with the enemy's trebuchet, there were only five crossbow arrows on the tower, even if they could only destroy the enemy's five trebuchets, this method was not feasible at all.

The flaming fireball did not come at the city wall, but smashed directly on the destroyed siege equipment, and the raging fire immediately ignited, and the remaining enemy troops under the city were desperately defending, but many people were still engulfed in flames.

The flames spread quickly, and as the enemy army continued to advance, the flames ignited the area in front of the city wall, and all the siege equipment of the enemy army before was engulfed in raging flames.

The phalanx of the enemy, stopped, not far away, outside the range of the crossbow.

Ding Jiang, who simply bandaged his wounds, stood on top of the city, looking at the raging fire under the city, and his eyes burst out with fierce essence.
