Chapter 329: Tough
Arrows were nailed to the battlements, towers, corpses, flames were burning, and the walls were in a fight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The guard of the southern city gate dragged a long knife, and there was a half-broken arrow stuck in his shoulder, his footsteps kept moving forward, the blood on his face was fading, the cloak on his back was torn, and a bloody mouth was torn out of his armor, and blood was dripping.
"Men of swords and shields, lean, lean, put up their shields. Heralds .... The heralds quickly spread the news of the Jurchen siege, quickly. ”
As he spoke, his body still shook, perhaps bleeding too much, and after taking a few steps, he sat weakly on the ground, and in the firelight, the sound of fighting was spreading from under the city, becoming more and more intense. Then his own soldiers hurriedly helped him up and walked towards the back, and found a doctor to bandage the wound under the armor to stop the bleeding.
"General... Checkmate... Bleeding a lot, are you okay?"
"You go back, immediately go back and guard the city wall.... I'll come back in a while, rest in a while, and come in a while! Tell my brothers that Lao Tzu is not dead yet, and let them guard the city well, otherwise as soon as the Jurchens retreat, Lao Tzu will enforce military law. The guard pushed the soldier out fiercely, "Hold on, Lao Tzu will take you to the Qinglou to play with women..."
The soldier smiled and scratched his bloodstained face, a little embarrassed.
On this usually calm night, even if they knew that the Jurchens had crossed the Yellow River, it should still take a little time to really attack, at least they would choose to attack in the early morning of one day, and it was difficult for everyone to suddenly attack on a rainy night like this.
He thought so.
On the city wall, arrows flew up from the opposite side of the city wall and grazed the side of the face of a forbidden soldier, and landed on the floor tiles of the city wall, the soldier barely reacted, and continued to hold the log to the battlements with his colleagues, and smashed the ladder leaning on the city wall, crackling and crisp, and several figures screamed and fell off the city wall.
Before the soldier and his comrades could rejoice, an arrow flew and drove into his eye socket, and the body fell to the ground on its back. Another soldier took a few steps back, and one of the Jurchen soldiers survived being smashed, climbed up, screamed fiercely, and slashed the frightened man to death with a single sword.
The white-knuckle battle suddenly began to fight on the city wall, and more Jurchen soldiers killed after dodging the stones and logs dropped from the city wall, and all around them were full of shadows and figures, and viscous and warm blood flowed out of the different corpses.
In the room below the city tower, the bandage was wrapped, the guard put on his armor again and pushed open the door, the battle became fierce, and he walked up to the city wall.
"Lao Tzu is not dead yet.... Why did you just lie down? The corner of his eye twitched, and something was leaking out.
He raised his steel knife, roared angrily, strode forward, stabbed a Jurchen man into his vest, and pushed the other man forward a few steps.
"Ahh
Outside the battlements, there would be several or a group of Jurchen soldiers constantly climbing up, and the forbidden army here relied on the crowd to drive the other party off the city, but often paid the price of two or three more lives than the other party.
At this time, a soldier who had lost his helmet was already frightened, and when he saw his guard, he ran over like crazy and cried: "General... Can we hold it? Can we hold it? Why haven't the reinforcements come yet.....
He Congfeng twisted his hair and shouted, "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it..... Give me the past, and I'll die too!!"
......
At the same time, not far from the city gates.
The emperor's imperial frame has already come, and the moment the sparkling firelight appeared in the sky, the faint firelight shone out of the street, a figure standing there, surrounded by Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi, and even the figure of the six doors looming inside.
Soon after Bai Ning blessed them and left, he received information that the emperor wanted to escape, so he immediately called the Venerable Master to rush to the front to intercept them.
In the end, Bai Ning still stopped Zhao Ji's convoy in front, arched his hand, and looked indifferent, "Your Majesty is ready to abandon the people?"
"Who dares to stop me!"
The chariot fan was pushed away, and the emperor stepped out of the carriage and looked at the figure in the middle of the street. Next to him, Cao Zhenchun bowed slightly under the carriage, "Returning to Your Majesty, it's the chief manager." ”
"I see it. ”
Zhao Ji waved his hand to let him retreat, and walked straight down, the old eunuch over there lowered his eyes and only took half a step back, and his arched hand reached into the sleeve of his robe.
"How could I abandon Jingshi and leave, Xiao Ningzi must have heard it wrong. The emperor stopped halfway through, and after a distance of seven or eight steps, he raised his empty hand, "Xiao Ningzi should stand up straight and speak, I just heard that the Jurchens were attacking the city, and I was a little anxious, so I took Xiao Guizi, Cai Xiang and others over to take a look and cheer up the soldiers." ”
"I'm afraid not..... Bai Ning took a step forward and looked over, "Wei Chen feels that there is a saying that makes sense, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." Now that the enemy has not yet entered, His Majesty is afraid that he will flee overnight, and if he is robbed by the Jurchens on the way, this Wu Dynasty will no longer have face at all. ”
Zhao Ji's face immediately turned red with anger, and he took a few steps back and forth, his fingers raised and shook a few times.
"How can this be reasonable, Xiao Ningzi! You are simply blind to the king, what kind of king is dead, if I die, who will rule this country..... How can this be reasonable, what do you want to do with so many people today..... Do you want to force the palace?"
Bai Ning shook his head and arched his hand again, "Please return to the palace to preside over the overall situation." ”
"Please return to the palace to preside over the overall situation-"
In the dark, the brocade guards and fans of the East Factory knelt on the ground one after another, shouting in unison.
Behind the convoy, Cai Jing walked over quickly, and when he saw the scene at this time, Bai Xu pointed at Bai Ning and shouted in a low voice: "Eunuch, you are already guilty of bullying the monarch by messing around like this, so don't get out of the way quickly." ”
In the Wu Dynasty, the status of the literati was very high, but the status of the eunuch was extremely low.
Bai Ning glanced at him coldly, "Believe it or not, Bendu will cut your tongue now and go back." ”
In the midst of the noise and shouting, not only the southern gate issued a cry of siege, but the other three gates also gradually appeared to fight, and the emperor standing on the street clenched his hands into fists, trembling with anger, and suddenly, turned back to his horse.
"Rush through!"
The forbidden army who was driving the car was stunned, and then looked at the Dongchang people who were blocking in front of him, and the moment he shook the reins in his heart. In front, Bai Ning's cold eyes and half-squinted footsteps slightly moved the internal force of the dark luck, and the people who approached the street only felt a strong wind blowing on their faces, and the ground two or three zhang away in front of the royal car suddenly sank, and the stone bricks jumped up.
The Law of Sighs -
Several of the horses were suddenly frightened, and they raised their front hooves and stood up with a long neigh. Ma Tou immediately turned around and ran towards the palace behind, and the forbidden troops escorting around him, as well as other convoys, hurriedly followed, fearing that something would happen to the emperor.
"When I go back to the East Factory, I need to do something. Bai Ning also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. (To be continued.) )
