Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle of Jingling (3)
At dawn the next day, everyone in the city found that the morale of today's Du Fuwei army was more than thirty percent lower than yesterday's, and the army formation was not as neat as yesterday, Shi Fan smiled: "It seems that our hard work last night has worked, Du Fuwei has less backbone, and his control over the army is no longer as good as before!"
Kou Zhonghao said angrily: "That's right! Hey, Lao Tzu killed him one hundred and ten officers overnight, it's no wonder that he can feel better!"
In the Chinese army, Du Fuwei slapped his horse with a pale face, and his voice was not as majestic as yesterday, but he said with a hoarse meaning: "Kou Zhong, you are ruthless enough! The old man really admires such a trick!" The voice still spread throughout the audience, and there was a sense of sadness and indignation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kou Zhong shouted: "Manager Du, they all say that soldiers are not tired of deceit, I have few soldiers here and the city is weak, if I don't make a strange move, how can I stop the soldiers of General Manager Du?
The soldiers and civilians of Jingling were suddenly relieved, they had been shrouded by Du Fuwei's shadow before yesterday, and today they finally let out a bad breath.
......
"Boom!"
The wooden beating was like an angry dragon striking the city gate with a deafening loud noise. After all, Du Fuwei launched an attack again, and although the commanders below were all newly promoted petty officers, they still organized a decent offensive!
Outside the city, the mountains were filled with enemy troops, and the sound of killing, the sound of trebuchets, the screeching of wheels against the ground, and the rumbling of stones against the ground or walls.
"Whoa!"
Xu Ziling didn't need to look at it to know that this sound was the sound of boiling hot oil pouring under the city wall. Xu Ziling stood up, waved his left hand, scooped up a cold arrow shot from somewhere, and walked along the wall towards the main city gate.
The soldiers and civilians defending the city were running back and forth to resist the enemy, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and there seemed to be only one simple purpose in their minds, that is, to block and kill the invading enemy by any means.
There were corpses lying on the walls, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blackened bloodstains, but no one had time to pay attention to them.
There were heavy clouds in the sky. The walls were dyed blood-red, and what I saw was like hell on earth. If I remember correctly, it should be the third day after the Jianghuai army attacked the city. The enemy's forces were constantly increasing, and they made feints at the other gates in order to disperse their forces.
Kou Zhong and Shi Fan commanded this tragic battle of the city without sleep, after the first night of the sneak attack, Du Fuwei raised his vigilance, so that several people no longer had the opportunity to sneak attack and assassinate the officer, until just now I really couldn't support it, so I went to bed for a while, how do I know that I fell asleep all of a sudden.
The drums of war rang out suddenly, and Kou Zhong was a little unsure of where he was coming from.
"Boom!" this time there was the sound of a log hitting the city wall again, and his feet seemed to shake.
"Bang!" A building car was just pushed in front of it and fell away, and the Jianghuai army above fell outside the city, and I don't know how many people were injured by the fall.
Shi Fan looked at the head of the city, only to see his good brother Kou Zhong standing proudly on the wall, looking down on the situation outside the city, constantly issuing various orders through the messengers, and the commander's temperament. He was covered with blood, and I am afraid that even he could not tell that the blood was his own and that it was from the enemy. Arrows rained down. Shi Fan came to Kou Zhong's side, Kou Zhong looked at him, his eyes were full of red tendons, pulled him aside and said: "Fan Shao, we are going to win! This is already the limit of the Jianghuai army, as long as we hold tonight, the Jianghuai army will inevitably retreat tomorrow!" Pointing to the distance, he said: "The wall over there has been broken through a gap, we are all blocked by sand and stones, and many brothers have been sacrificed. ”
Xu Ziling sighed on the side: "Didn't the women and children all leave the city? If it really doesn't work, we will also retreat to the Pegasus Ranch and make a comeback in the future!"
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly: "There are still so many soldiers in the city, can you say that you want to leave? Don't look at everyone desperately now, as long as the retreat order is issued, they will be guaranteed to flee for their lives, and there will be a mess." What's more, we and the Jianghuai Army have formed an inextricable blood feud. Under their victorious pursuit, we were all destroyed. Now there is only perseverance to see who can't hold on! Tonight is the time to decide the winner!"
Shi Fan looked around, the soldiers and civilians defending the city, under the fierce attack of the opponent day and night, have become a tired army, if the enemy breaks through the gap and enters the city, because the two sides have a deep grudge, the enemy is bound to kill people when they see it. In this case, with his and Kou Zhong's personalities, they can't do anything to escape without them, and the last night is to defend even if they fight to the death!
Kou Zhong leaned into Shi Fan's ear and whispered, "It's so difficult to be a commander for the first time, Lao Tzu...... Ha...... Oh......" and then I couldn't cough.
Shi Fan sent a burst of true qi into his body, helping him rub his back and said, "Are you suffering internal injuries?" Kou Zhong said fiercely: "A few more masters came just now, and they punched one of them, but his stinky head was cut for me." At this time, someone came in a hurry to report: Du Fuwei's main army had moved.
The two of them complained bitterly in their hearts, and they climbed the sentry tower hard, Feng Han, Feng Qing, Shang Xiuxun, Li Jing, etc. were all there, everyone's faces were solemn, and they were all covered in blood, they were Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beautiful field, and they also fought bloody battles one after another, and they never took off their armor for three days!
The besiegers retreated, allowing the new forces to make a new wave of powerful offensives. The corpses in the field outside the city walls are everywhere, as if they are telling the tragic siege battle of the past three days and three nights.
The vast city is dotted with fires, and there is no boundless. War drums and horns sounded in unison, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels resounded through the heavens and the earth. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Kou Zhong secretly smiled bitterly, and it was only today that he realized that the commander was not easy.
Xu Ziling accompanied him to the outer wall where a corner was missing, Kou Zhong looked up at the sky, only to see the dark clouds hurrying away, and said slowly: "If the heavens make beauty, a heavy rain will be beneficial to which side." Everyone shook violently at the same time, and looked at the night sky like him.
Feng Han said: "Then we will be saved!"
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating everyone's eyes as if they were blind, and another thunderclap covered out all the sounds on the battlefield.
The bean-sized raindrops came from the beginning, from sparse to dense, and in a moment it turned into a pouring rain, and thousands of torches were extinguished one by one. Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Thank God, because your old man is not going to kill me Kou Zhong! Hahaha, this heavy rain has laid the foundation for our victory in defending the city!" Then he shouted: "We have won this battle, if Du Fuwei continues to consume it here, his Jianghuai territory is afraid that it will be destroyed by Yu Wenhua! Hehe, we have actually defended the tomb after all!"
When all the generals heard this, they couldn't help but cry with joy, and shouted with emotion! The shouts converged into a wave, far outside the city, and it was impossible to attack the city in the rain in ancient times, Du Fuwei had a face of more than ten years old, stared at the tattered tomb in the night sky for a long time, and sighed: "Tell me to go down, withdraw the troops overnight...... After saying this, Du Fuwei suddenly seemed to have exhausted all his spirit, and sat down in the big tent in a dejected manner, not knowing what he was thinking.
Under the thunderstorm, all the generals were all drenched, but they still looked at each other and smiled, indescribably proud. (To be continued.) )
