Chapter 46 Sima Zhengye

Five days later, at night, the lights of Yinzhou's thousands of homes had been extinguished, and the only patrol soldiers in the entire city were patrolling the streets, striking a gong from time to time, and shouting: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful of the candles." ”

On the west tower of the city, Duanmu Liangyou stood at the head of the city, and unconsciously shivered, this ghost weather is too cold.

Turning his head to look at the red hands of the soldiers at the head of the city, Duanmu Liangyou was a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "Let's go back and rest in a while, I'll just be here." ”

He is a martial arts cultivator, and he can resist the cold with a little internal qi, but these soldiers will freeze after a while.

The soldier was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes became glazed, pointed forward, and said tremblingly, "Captain...... Captain, look, that'...... What's that?"

As soon as Duanmu Liangyou turned around, he saw that under the faint moonlight, a black line rolled up thousands of smoke and dust towards Yinzhou.

"Order all battalions, the enemy army will attack the city!" Duanmu Ryoyou roared hoarsely, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly returned to the camp to deliver the message.

Taking a breath, Duanmu Ryoyu held the cold city wall with both hands, staring at the approaching enemy army in the distance.

That's the only thought that Duanki Ryoyu has.

In five days, Guiyi's reinforcements will arrive as soon as the day after tomorrow.

It's not that Duanmu Liangyou doesn't have confidence in the combat power of the 40,000 Qingfu Army, but as long as the person who has no problem with his brain knows that since the other party dares to set foot in Xiliang, the strength of the army will not be less than that of the Yinzhou defenders!

Let's hope this army doesn't become so numerous that it makes people despair.

There was a hint of worry in Duanki Ryoyu's eyes.

Half an hour later, the Qingfu army had all arrived at the head of the city on all sides, except for the new barracks, and similarly, at this time, Yinzhou City had been surrounded and impassable.

The night was too dark for the light of the torches to see how many enemy troops there were, but since the other side was already besieging the city, the strength of the troops was at least twice that of the Qingfu army.

Duanmu Liangyou's eyes were a little heavy, he stood at the head of the city, and shouted to the city, "Who is under the city?"

At this time, Duanmu Liangyou still didn't know which army was attacking the city, the grassland or Xiqiang?

As soon as these words came out, the two sides suddenly fell into silence. No one in the city replied, and the heavy atmosphere of black pressure pressed Duanmu Liangyou a little breathless, and suddenly, only one voice was heard: "Siege!" broke the silence.

"Kill!" the whole army of the other party shouted, and several ladders had been set up at the head of the city.

After being stunned for a moment, Duanmu Liangyou immediately came back to his senses, pulled out the long knife on his waist, pointed directly at the city, and shouted: "Kill!"

The sound of fighting echoed in the sky over Yinzhou.

There was constant fighting outside the city, and no one in the city could sleep.

Unlike the 40,000 regular sergeants, 5,000 recruits were in the camp at this time.

The 5,000 people in this huge camp inexplicably seemed empty, and the sergeants of the new barracks also couldn't sleep, and the sound of fighting at the head of the city faintly echoed in their ears.

"Brother, you say, when are we going into battle?" Xu Baibai arched Xu Liangsheng beside him with his elbow, rubbing his hands, looking ready to be on call at any time.

didn't speak, Xu Liangsheng was thinking about how to deal with it at this time, but he couldn't figure out a plan after thinking about it.

Unlike Dunhuang, Yinzhou is surrounded by desert and has no terrain to use. Although Yinzhou is strong, the city is small, and it must have been surrounded at this time, and it must be impossible to expect a surprise army to go out of the city.

The other party was also far more decisive than Bayar, and the army camp had already attacked the city before it was established, and there was no room for maneuver.

At this time, Xu Liangsheng remembered what Xun Dang said about using soldiers to be right, could it be that the use of soldiers is already fighting to the death and not retreating?

Shook his head bitterly, if Xun Dang was still there, maybe he would be able to come up with a way, after all, many years of experience in the battle formation are not vegetarians.

But Xun Dang's life and death were unpredictable at this time.

Xu Liangsheng's hands were unconsciously twisted together, Xun Dang encountered an accident, and he also had a share of responsibility, if it wasn't for his wrong guess, how could Xun Dang go out of the city alone to find the enemy?

"Brother, brother!" Xu Baibai looked at Xu Liangsheng's pale face and a sluggish look, and quickly shook Xu Liangsheng's shoulder.

"Ah......" was shaken like this, and Xu Liangsheng immediately relieved his mind.

Xu Baitian said in a low voice: "Brother, you don't have to be afraid, if you go into battle to fight, I will protect you!" Xu Baibai thought that Xu Liangsheng was scared, and hurriedly comforted.

Although the voice was very low, after all, it was in the tent, and everyone heard it clearly, but no one laughed shamefully, they were all recruits who had not been in battle, and they were all a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're afraid or not, I heard my brother say that when you go to the battlefield, once you fight, there is no one with weak legs, and the recruits start to be afraid when they are done. The dark-skinned boy spoke.

Xu Liangsheng continued: "It's true, on the battlefield, there is murderous aura all around, and the mind will be affected by murderous energy. ”

A person next to the swarthy young man smiled: "I don't understand this twist and turn, like Brother Xu said, if this kid fights with people at night, won't he take up all the time? The swarthy boy pushed the boy straight to the ground and threw him into the mud.

"Hahahaha......" Everyone in the tent laughed.

At this moment, a drum sounded, and everyone's faces changed when they heard it.

"Does that mean it's our turn?" asked the swarthy boy, stunned.

The man who was pushed to the ground by the swarthy boy patted the dust on his body and muttered, "Nonsense, can you still let you go to dinner?

The swarthy young man immediately looked at each other angrily and scolded: "Who said that Lao Tzu was cowardly, who coaxed who is the grandson!"

Xu Bai laughed while wearing armor: "Oh, I'm still Lao Tzu, I'm eighteen this year, looking at you are still one or two years younger than me, who do you say Lao Tzu is listening to?"

The swarthy young man's face turned a little red, and he didn't say anything, and hurriedly put on his armor.

Xu Liangsheng was the first to finish dressing, because he had been speechless. With the long box on his back, Xu Liangsheng was walking out of the camp when he heard the swarthy young man muttering in a low voice: "The girls from Zixuanlou are still waiting for me......

Zixuan Building...... Xu Liangsheng suddenly remembered, this Zixuan Building is one of the three major green buildings in Dunhuang, and the people who come and go on weekdays are all dignitaries, this swarthy boy is still a young master?

But at this time, don't say that he is a young master, he is a master and has to go desperately.

The five thousand recruits were all gathered, and the leading captain said in a loud voice: "At this time, the onslaught of the West City is too heavy, all the soldiers of the East City Gate must be transferred to the West City Wall, the East City Gate is empty, although you are still recruits who have not been trained for a few days, but you are also Xiliang soldiers." ”

"Although the east city is not as good as the west city, and the encounter will never be the main force of the enemy, it will never be easy. The lieutenant was stunned, and then said: "The situation is urgent, and it is inconvenient to say more, the eldest husband should die on the battlefield, but he will die in battle." ”

"Only to the death!" all the recruits were ignited by this sentence, and everyone shouted, and these four words echoed on the camp for a long time.

"The whole army is galloping to the East City!"

After the handover of the soldiers on both sides, all the veterans of Dongcheng rushed to Xicheng, and there were only seven or eight veterans left in Dongcheng at this time, all of whom were new recruits.

"You go and be responsible for pushing the ladder ......" The captain divided the five thousand recruits into ten echelons at this time, each against five hundred, and then divided the labor among the five hundred.

The city of Yinzhou is small, and the five hundred people at the head of the city seem to be a little crowded, but this captain does not dare to be less, once the head of the city is attacked due to lack of manpower, it will be difficult to take it back.

What's more, these recruits are inexperienced, and it is inevitable that mistakes will occur in a hurry, and there are few people who can't even replace them.

After dividing the echelon, the captain arranged the order and looked at the enemy troops under the city with a solemn face.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, the night is still dark, the enemy troops under the city are black and oppressive, and the captain is also a little stunned, can these 5,000 recruits do it......

But looking back, these recruits all looked like they were ready to fight for the life and death, and the captain was also much more relieved, and his fighting spirit was so strong that even a group of farmers could shoot a few to death with a flat pole.

"Remember, don't kill the red eye, each performing his own duties is the most important thing, there are no experienced veterans here and now, once someone leaves their posts without permission, the city will be gone. The lieutenant told everyone with a solemn face, he was really afraid that these recruits would be red-eyed.

When defending the city, some people pushed to the ladder, some people were responsible for wielding swords to slash and kill the attacking enemy soldiers, and some people were responsible for killing the soldiers entering the city...... Once the chaos is over, the enemy army can rush to the city in an instant.

The Qingfu army used lancets from top to bottom, and the only bow and crossbow battalion was also transferred to Xichengtou, once there were more enemy troops entering the city, the momentum could no longer be suppressed.

Sighing, the captain looked at the enemy army who was preparing for the next round of siege, and his confidence was a little insufficient.

Xu Liangsheng was a little anxious at this time, he was assigned to the last echelon, and now he really wanted to squeeze into the city and let the captain divide him into the first echelon.

But the sea of people in front of him really can't squeeze in, and even if he squeezes up, Captain Bacheng won't let it.

If he is transferred from the last echelon to the first echelon, what will the other sergeants think? At this time, not everyone wants to go to the new recruits who are in high spirits.

After thinking about it, Xu Liangsheng had no choice but to wait patiently.

Untied the long box on his back, Xu Liangsheng took out the peach blossoms from it.

As soon as he took this spear, everyone around him widened their eyes, and said that this kid still has his own weapons.

The peach blossoms are all black, and the pale pink light on the tip of the spear is not an idle weapon at first glance.

Xu Baitian, who was beside him, was even more stunned, and said: "Brother, what you originally carried in this box was a spear, I thought it was some kind of heirloom, come, let me see." ”

Xu Liangsheng was not pretentious, and handed the peach blossom to Xu Baitian.

Xu Bai raised his hand and took it, almost planted it directly, and raised his arms with a force, and was shocked for a while: "Brother, your spear is too heavy." ”

Taking the peach blossom back into his hand, Xu Liangsheng looked at the city head in a daze.

The swarthy young man walked up to Xu Liangsheng's side, pushed Xu Liangsheng's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you, if I am not mistaken, this gun is called 'Peach Blossom', and it has always been in the hands of the county lord." ”

Xu Liangsheng was a little surprised when he saw that this person actually knew the origin of this gun, you must know that even Lu Dajiang didn't recognize it at a glance.

"Who are you?" asked Xu Liangsheng.

"My father, Sima Yibing, is in Sima Zhengye. ”
