Chapter Ninety-Six: The Will to Fall into Battle
Time passed little by little, and the offensive and defensive battles gradually entered the white heat, and there were already layers of corpses and wood and stones under the city walls, and there were constantly people carrying corpses and wounded down the city walls. A small Huasu city is like a meat grinder, ruthlessly strangling fresh lives.
Ye Pei, who was covered in blood, looked at the sky and said in her heart: "If the support doesn't come again...... The city will be abandoned. ”
Soon after the battle began, Chen Mo went to the city again under the protection of Jiang Zhongqing, and conveyed the same sentence to Ye Pei, Yang Tianrui and Huang Jifeng, who commanded the battle from three sides.
"Only fight for an hour, and if reinforcements don't come, we'll withdraw. ”
Yang Tianrui and Ye Pei had no objections, only Huang Jifeng asked, "Why? ”
Chen Mo sighed: "This is not our war, why take the lives of too many of our people." They have no way to come to the Holy Sacrifice Domain to join us, and we have to be responsible for them. ”
......
Ye Pei casually summoned a herald and said, "Tell Chen Mo to start preparing for the withdrawal of troops." ”
Leaving with the herald, Ye Pei looked at the only arrow tower not far away and took a deep breath. Seeing this, Wang Yifei on the side hurriedly said, "Ye Shuai, are you recovering?"
Ye Pei shook his head: "No, but you can't wait, that arrow tower is too threatening." ”
Before, Lin Yu's three arrow towers were all destroyed by Ye Pei's outstanding light skill volley, but in this way, Ye Pei's consumption was also very large, and in the face of the only remaining arrow tower, Ye Pei was really difficult to rush over again, so he had to return to the city to repair. And during the attack, Ye Pei also had an arrow wound on his body, but he was hastily bandaged.
At this time, more than a dozen archers in the arrow tower kept disrupting the defensive rhythm here, and at least hundreds of soldiers had already been lost in their hands.
Stepping back, Ye Pei said in a deep voice: "General Wang, you preside over the defense here." ”
Without waiting for Wang Yifei to speak again, Ye Pei ran a few steps and flew up, swept out of the city like a shock, and glided straight towards the arrow tower in mid-air.
"Ye Pei is here again!
The arrow tower over there also saw Ye Pei's movement for the first time, and immediately responded, and immediately seven or eight sharp arrows were shot at Ye Pei.
With a long roar, the spear in Ye Pei's hand waved in front of him, and for a while, there seemed to be an invisible force field blocking Ye Pei's body, scattering all the seven or eight sharp arrows. Then, Ye Pei floated down on top of the arrow tower in an instant.
"Haha! It's your hand that's waiting for you!" When Ye Pei fell, the dozen or so archers on the arrow tower all turned their heads and jumped down, only to see the soldiers below unfurling rope nets to catch the falling archers.
"Demolition!"
There was a loud roar below, and the two wooden wheels on the side of the arrow tower, which seemed to have been passive for a long time, fell off in an instant, and the entire arrow tower tilted to that side, and it was about to fall.
"Oh no!" Ye Pei secretly screamed in his heart, and he was about to fly back to the city again, but the arrow tower that fell down really had nowhere to borrow, this arrow tower was about the same height as the city wall, this fall, Ye Pei barely borrowed strength in the tilt, but it was difficult to reach the height of the city wall. Coupled with the continuous arrow shooting below, Ye Pei could not concentrate on maintaining light power when he resisted this round of attacks in mid-air, and fell from mid-air to the ground without a few strokes.
"Ye Shuai!" Wang Yifei, who witnessed this scene at the head of the city, was suddenly in a hurry, Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing almost died in dealing with the siege of two thousand people outside Huasu City, and at this time, there are still seven or eight thousand people below, how can Ye Pei survive alone......
Ye Pei was not too desperate in her heart at this time, mainly because she couldn't care about despair at all. At the moment before landing, facing the enemy army waiting for him with weapons below, Ye Pei twisted his waist in the air, turned his body upside down, and swung his spear in a circle, instantly repelling the enemy in that circle, and a heel fight fell steadily to the ground.
It's just that the surrounding Lin Jun didn't have any intention of letting Ye Pei breathe, and they surrounded him in an instant.
At the head of the city, Chen Mo came up again under the protection of Jiang Zhongqing, but he didn't see Ye Pei.
"Strategist!Ye Shuai went alone to destroy the enemy's arrow tower, and was plotted by the enemy to fall into the enemy's formation!" Seeing Chen Mo, Wang Yifei suddenly said urgently.
"What?!" Chen Mo was also shocked, and was about to go to see the situation, but Jiang Zhongqing next to him had already shouted: "Brother Pei......!
"Jiang Shaoxia can't!" Jiang Zhongqing, who was shouting sword moves, was stopped by Wang Yifei, who was quick-eyed, and hugged him, "You can't go down and you can't come up!"
Chen Mo also reacted, stopped Jiang Zhongqing and said: "What General Wang said is extremely true, Jiang Shaoxia should not be impatient. ”
Jiang Zhongqing's eyes turned blood-red in an instant, and the hand holding the sword trembled violently: "Brother Pei is dying!
Chen Mo saw the situation below clearly, and shouted: "If you go down, you will die! The whole army will obey the order! Intensify the attack on me!"
With that, Chen Mo quickly ran towards the south gate guarded by Yang Tianrui.
"General Yang! Ye Pei is trapped in the army formation under the city at this time, and he also asks General Yang to lead a small number of elites to go out from the east gate to rescue him back!"
"Huh?" Yang Tianrui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You give me some people, and I'll lead the horse!"
Chen Mo then quickly ordered seventy or eighty elites and ordered: "Follow General Yang closely! Go out from the East City Gate to rescue Ye Shuai!"
Chen Mo: This may already be the best measure that can be taken at the moment. It is definitely not possible to open the west gate on the front, then this Huasu City will be broken on the opposite side, so Yang Tianrui can only lead people out from the east gate, which has not been attacked at this time, and quickly bypass the battlefield in the south or north, and rush to the frontal battlefield to help Ye Pei. Even then, it is very difficult. Not to mention whether Ye Pei can hold out until Yang Tianrui arrives, it is also a completely crazy move for Yang Tianrui to take these seventy or eighty people to break into the army formation of seven or eight thousand people.
Returning to the west gate of the frontal battlefield, Chen Mo condensed his voice and said to Jiang Zhongqing, who had been bowing his head beside him: "Jiang Shaoxia, you can follow General Yang to rescue Brother Ye together." ”
No, Jiang Zhongqing's loud shout had already sounded suddenly, and he still reported the unfinished sword move.
"There are few meteors and few moons, and the autumn wind is bleak - a little frost!"
I saw a brilliant sword light flying straight from the city wall to Ye Pei's position, and in an instant, Jiang Zhongqing had already appeared beside Ye Pei, who was fighting bloodily.
The two glanced at each other and did not speak, Ye Pei's eyes showed a little more different emotions, and then they threw themselves into the fight again.
"Alas......" Chen Mo sighed, "I can't withdraw the troops, so I can only hope for reinforcements from Jiazhou." Originally, Chen Mo had already arranged the withdrawal of troops from the outer city, and he came to the city to tell Ye Pei and others that they could prepare a round of strong attacks and withdraw troops, but they didn't want Ye Pei to fall into the enemy formation.
"Xiao Mo!" Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, and as soon as Chen Mo turned around, he saw Zi Qingrong who hurriedly ran up.
"Strategist...... We...... Can't stop Miss Zi......"
"Xiao Mo, I saw that Brother Yang went out from the east gate with people, and I heard them say that Ye Shuai ...... What about Ye Zi?What's wrong?" Zi Qingrong looked around and didn't see Ye Pei, and the anxiety on his face was beyond words.
Chen Mo hurriedly said: "The city is dangerous, please ask your sister-in-law to wait in the outer city!"
Zi Qingrong ignored Chen Mo's dissuasion: "You tell me!
Chen Mo's expression froze, and he tilted his head and said, "He and Jiang Zhongqing are trapped in the enemy formation below." ”
Zi Qingrong was stunned for a moment, and was about to run to the city wall, but he didn't want Chen Mo to shout: "It's rude!" and then slapped Zi Qingrong who was passing by him.
"Carry Miss Zi to the military tent on a stretcher!"
Seeing Zi Qingrong lying on a stretcher and being carried away, Chen Mo went up to the city gate, frowning and looking at the situation below.
On the flank, Yang Tianrui and the others were lightly armed and fast horses were not intercepted by the enemy forces in the south, and successfully bypassed, attacking Ye Pei's position on the edge of the big battlefield in the west.
"Come on, ......" Chen Mo was calm on the surface, and he was also anxious in his heart. Ye Pei and Jiang Zhongqing were already walking in a messy manner, and they might not be able to hold out for long, while Yang Tianrui and the others were still far away from the two, and it would take at least two quarters of an hour to get by according to the speed of advancement.
On the war horse, the big sword in Yang Tianrui's hand exerted a power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people in his hands, which was born with divine power, but even then it was difficult to break through the layers of enemy troops.
However, the combination of these two chaos reduced a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city.
On Ye Pei's side, he faced a tall general under Lin Yuzhe.
The general also deliberately waited for Ye Pei to falter before he dared to fight Ye Pei. Before, when Ye Pei was wantonly rushing and killing in their military formation, he was still trembling in the back.
"Ye Pei, remember, the person who killed you is called Dong Yang!"
"Hmph......" Ye Pei sneered, "There may be someone who can kill me, but it's definitely not you!"
Dong Yang laughed loudly: "At the end of the strong crossbow, you dare to make a big statement?"
Ye Pei held his spear on the ground and said, "Even if my son lacks arms and legs, kill you like this...... It's just a blink of an eye!"
Dong Yang was furious, raised his big knife and rushed up, and the momentum seemed to directly split Ye Pei in half.
Ye Pei's pupils contracted instantly, the spear was thrown up, and the spear rushed towards Dong Yang, and when the big knife was chopped, he deftly turned around to avoid the blade, and then when Dong Yang's big knife was not able to be put away, Ye Pei raised his leg and stepped on his knife shaft and suddenly rose up, twisted his body in the air, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like lightning, and the next moment it pierced Dong Yang's throat.
Pulling out his spear and watching Dong Yang fall down with an incredulous look, Ye Pei looked at the cowering Lin Jun with tired eyes, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Even if I am strong at the end of the crossbow, you will wait for the embroidered blade, and dare to make a mistake?"
