Chapter 697: Winged Birds, Cranes, and Apes Retreat
It is said that the Dongying Japanese people came early in the morning to sneak attack, in the face of the end of this month, the emperor is about to return to Beijing with all the princes, if you can't take the west city at this time, then I'm afraid you have to return to the court, don't dare to stay in Beijing, if not, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!
Songbai commanded everyone to meet the enemy, and the archers shot the Dongying people who were close to the cloud ladder and fell down, and suddenly the howls came and went!
"Whoosh" A gust of wind whirred, Songbai looked up, only to see that above the sky, a piece of black pressure pressed down, the sky full of arrow feathers suddenly flew down, and there were soldiers on the city wall who fell to the ground with arrows.
It turned out that this was the flying wing battalion of the Dongying people, and at this moment, more than two hundred Dongying flying winged birdmen shot the bows and crossbows in their hands and attacked the Xining Tiger Guard.
Songbai suddenly jumped up, only to see this golden sword swinging out of the sky, and bursts of sword waves rolled out, heading towards this Dongying Flying Winged Birdman.
"Bang bang bang" A sound came, and I saw an explosion in the camp of the Dongying Flying Winged Birdman, and fragments of clothes fell all over the sky.
The Dongying Flying Winged Birdman instantly dispersed, waving the fire bow and crossbow in his hand, and came towards the pine and cypress all over the world, and it was impossible to escape if he wanted to see it!
Suddenly, a strong wind struck, followed by a crane chirping, and when the pine and cypress opened their eyes, they were already on the crane's body!
"Brother Crane, I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't imagine that every time you encounter danger, you will appear urgently, you are really my savior, where is Brother Ape now?"
"I'm coming!" I saw a black shadow next to me coming, waving this fluffy fist, and three times five divided by two, the hundreds of winged birdmen were repelled away.
The crane flew down and fell on the city wall, and the pine and cypress looked up, and it turned out that the black shadow was the long-armed black ape!
"Brother Ape, thank you two for solving my urgent need, wait for me to get rid of this Dongying people, and it's not too late to repay the two of you!" The pine and cypress watched the black ape fly down, so he stepped forward and bent down and hugged his fists and said.
"It's the will of Feizhen to help you, don't worry too much, command your army well, and drive away this invading enemy!" the black ape waved his hands and motioned for Songbai to leave.
I saw that at this time, the cloud ladder was almost all close to the city, and the Dongying Ronin had the cover just now, and they had already climbed up one after another, fighting with the Xining Tiger Guards at the entrance of the city.
"The bow and arrow rolling stone are waiting for me, I can't let them get close to this city wall, kill me!" The pine and cypress waved the golden sword in his hand to break through the sky, and stomped away from the city with a shout.
I saw that both sides were injured, and the Dongying Japanese who fell outside the city, as well as the Xining Tiger Guards who were shot by the fire gun, were already piled up inside the city wall at this moment.
The follow-up Dongying Japanese people kept coming, and they kept attacking like crazy, and Shangguan Miyin brought a spear and fire team, which suppressed the war and forced the Dongying Japanese to retreat back to the camp.
The pine and cypress stood at the mouth of the battlement, only to see the wind and clouds at this time, the hair fluttered in the wind, looking at the corpses all over the outside of the city wall, and then looking at the blood flowing on the city wall, a sad cry hit the heart.
"Lord Boss, don't be too sad, this war is like this, thousands of casualties are inevitable, if it's a big battle, 180,000 is commonplace, is it really a success?" Shangguan Miyin came over with the sword on his waist and patted Songbai's shoulder.
"Hurry up and carry their corpses down! It is estimated that after a short rest, they will make a comeback, and there will be Lord Lao Shangguan!" Songbai wiped away his tears, turned around and bent over and clenched his fists.
"Take care of your health, Lord Boss, the general will take his leave first, come on! Carry these corpses down the street first, and wait for the battle to be disposed of." Shangguan Miyin took the Xining Tiger Guard, and carried the corpses on the city tower down from the city tower one after another, only to see that the blood stains on the ground had dried up, and it could be said that a layer of bloody red was smeared on the floor and wall tiles!
This Zhangqiu blood-stained battle robe, his footsteps staggered over, only to see him covering his waist, panting and saying: "Lord Commander, this eastern city wall is in urgent need of manpower! Eight thousand generals defending the city, now there are less than five thousand horses, if they are so arrogant again, I am afraid that they will be broken by their fierce attack?"
"You go back first, right? More than half of the people and horses here have been killed and wounded, hold on for a moment now, and I will think of a way immediately?" Songbai looked at the city wall, there were more fallen soldiers than standing, and everyone helped carry the corpse down, so he waved his hand and signaled Zhang Qiubai to retreat.
On this street, a team of men and horses hurriedly came, and it turned out to be Cheng Duguan, the guard of the North Road battalion, who came to help with his 8,000 soldiers and horses.
Cheng Duguan, the guard of the North Road battalion, came up to the city wall one after another, bent down and walked to Songbai's side with his fists, looked down and said: "The last general is ordered by the county lord of Xining to lead his soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, please ask the commander to order." ”
"It turned out to be General Cheng? I have you to thank you, this camp on the east road is in urgent need of manpower, and three thousand are allocated to the east for reinforcements, I don't know if Lord Cheng is willing or not?"
"Well, the county lord just asked me to come to the main city for reinforcements, as for Zhang Qiubai, the deputy general of the East Road Battalion, he is not too familiar with me, so I don't think there is any need for this, right?" Cheng Duguan, the guard of the North Road Battalion, looked at Zhang Qiubai behind him, and said with some displeasure.
"Lord Cheng, now is the autumn of life and death of the Xining Huwei Battalion, everyone should abandon their previous suspicions and work together to retreat from this Dongying people, as long as they are hit by the end of the month, they can break themselves!"
"Bang bang bang" Another burst of rapid artillery fire struck, and I saw that on the city wall, which was originally extinguished by the flames of war, smoke was everywhere again at this moment!
Songbai pressed Cheng Duguan and rolled to the side, only to see that the place where he was standing just now was full of thick smoke at the moment.
Cheng Duguan shook his head and stood up, patted the dust on his body, and couldn't help but curse angrily: "Brothers under you, now is the autumn of our life and death, give me bows and arrows to prepare to shoot these Dongying people who climbed up." ”
I saw that the soldiers and horses of the camp on the north road had reached the battlement, and they all drew their quivers from their waists and shot towards the approaching Dongying Japanese people.
At this time, the flames of war were flying and the rain of arrows fell, and under the city walls on the upper floors of this city, a lot of dry bones were added after a while, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls was endless.
By the time the sun set on the western mountain, the flags on the towers were already in tatters, and some even burned, leaving only the light flagpole standing on the tower.
The clouds to the west were blood-red, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the walls inside and outside, and the pines and cypresses stood at the entrance of the battlements, their eyes bloodshot red.
When the dark curtain fell, a burst of fire flew up the tower, followed by artillery fire, and suddenly a cannonball hit the head of the pine and cypress......
