Chapter 19: Siege of the City
Xie Tong turned around, his back to the city gate, facing the dozens of enemy soldiers with spears in front of him, he had reached a dead end.
Huo Zixin ordered the soldiers to besiege the city into a circle, which is also a good way he can only come up with, facing the enemy with an absolute advantage in strength, he can't fight and fight, he can't run and run, except for a fight, there is no other way, the soldiers are surrounded in a big circle, worthy of hard consumption with the enemy, and slowly break through, waiting for this Xie Tong's reinforcements.
He was now surrounded on three sides by the enemy, whose infantry was better, but stabbed forward with their spears, while the cavalry was not, as they rode up and down on horseback, slashing and slashing with their swords.
Huo Zixin's heart swelled with pride, and he said loudly, "Brothers, kill one one, let's fight."
After that, he rushed out again, the war horse ran out like crazy, not long after, he was surrounded by several horses, the horse chopping knife from three directions, the middle and the next attack, Huo Zixin did not dare to be careless, he quickly turned over and dismounted, dodged the attack of these knives, and then lightning drilled through the horse's belly, a sword on the thigh of an enemy, the enemy screamed, he flew on the horse again, sat behind the enemy, slapped a palm on the enemy's back, the enemy spurted blood and flew out. However, he did not dare to slack off, turned around as fast as he could, and once again slashed the enemy's throat with a sword, and the enemy did not even let out a scream, and fell directly.
Huo Zixin drove his horse forward, and the oncoming enemy's chopping knife slashed horizontally, if he hit, Huo Zixin would be stopped and cut off. However, his sword had not been withdrawn, the two horses were staggered, Huo Zixin was in a hurry, his body was lying back, lying directly on the horse's back, and the horse chopping knife fell short again. Huo Zixin turned his wrist, the sword in his hand drew an arc, and his backhand slashed at the enemy's back, and the enemy screamed and fell off his horse. Xie Tong secretly shouted that it was dangerous, and he suddenly ended up with three enemies again. However, the enemy continued to rush forward. He took a deep breath, war is indeed an extremely terrible thing, as a leader of the younger generation in the martial arts, he has a unique skill, and he plays a very little role in the face of the vast enemy army, although he killed more than ten enemies at this moment, the consumption of internal force is indeed very great, in the coming rounds, I am afraid that he will not even have the strength to hold the knife.
Yi Wuxing saw Xie Tong listen to him. Jumping to the city gate without hesitation, Xindao was really a stupid boy, there were all enemy troops below, and jumping down alone was no different from sending him to death, but he couldn't bear to see his good brother go alone to complete this almost impossible task. He swung his sword to force back the two enemy soldiers, followed Xie Tong's example, and jumped off the city wall.
Xie Tong was in a situation of trapped beast fighting, facing dozens of enemies armed with spears. There is no way back, only to fight. Suddenly, I saw Yi Fearless jumping off the city wall. appeared in the rear of the enemy, and his heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said that this brother was really righteous enough, and his heart was suddenly full of hope. He wielded his thick-backed knife and struggled to block the enemy's spears.
After Yi Wudauntless jumped down, he saw the enemy besieging Xie Tong. Busy double knife go hand in hand. In an instant, several enemy soldiers were overturned. At this time, the enemy reacted and knew that there was still a Tang army behind him. Several people hurriedly turned their guns and stabbed at Yi Wudaunt.
Yi Wudaunt lifted the true qi of his whole body, and he struggled to dodge the sharp stab, closing in front of the enemy. The spear has a fatal heel. Not good at close combat, the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, once the enemy is close, the spear of one zhang long will no longer be able to exert its power.
The spear stabbed over again, Yi Wudaunt jumped up gently, he skillfully dodged the stab, with the power of the spear retracted, his figure rolled from the spear, and instantly arrived in front of the enemy, he swung his short knife, directly cut the enemy's throat, and at the same time the double knives flew, directly slashing the people around him, and arrived in front of Xie Tong. The two successfully converged in one place, but they were also blocked in this small space.
Xie Tong said, "Big brother, you block for a while, and the little brother splits this heavy deadbolt."
Yi Wuxing glanced at the deadbolt, and a cool breath suddenly appeared in his heart, this bolt was terrifying. He whispered, "You'd better hurry, I'm afraid I won't last long." With that, he wielded his twin swords and fought the enemy in one place.
Xie Tong brandished the thick-backed knife and slashed at the deadbolt again, the deadbolt still broke a small hole, according to this progress, no one hundred and eighty knives would not want to cut him, and Xie Tong did not have the strength to cut one hundred and eighty knives.
Seeing Xie Tong swinging his knife at the door bolt, the enemy knew his intentions. More than a dozen spears stabbed at the two of them at the same time.
This was the real test of Yi Fearless, not only did he have to dodge the spear in this small space, but he also had to be responsible for Xie Tong's safety, which really made him tired and had to fight hard with the enemy. He advanced with both swords, and did not hesitate to expend his true qi to smash with the enemy's spear, and after hitting more than ten shots in a row, he also felt unbearable, and hurriedly whispered, "Hurry up, Lao Tzu can't hold on."
Xie Tong had already caught a glimpse of Yi Wuxing's predicament, at this moment he abandoned all distracting thoughts, and directly used his Huangtian Dafa Fifth Layer Exercises, gathering qi into strength, he lifted all the true qi in his body, and turned his palm into a knife, his body was just vacated, and he suddenly lined up at the break of the door bolt.
Hearing only a bang, Xie Tong fell to the ground softly, and he felt that his right palm seemed to be broken, and he was in pain. But he ignored the pain, and looked towards the deadbolt, only to see that the broken part of the deadbolt was scattered with sawdust, which he had broken.
Yi Wuxing was already at the end of the crossbow at this moment, because he couldn't dodge, the spear directly penetrated his calf, and the tip of a spear leaked outside the calf, the enemy took advantage of the situation to pull the spear, Yi Wuxing was directly pulled to the ground, and he let out an extremely tragic scream.
When the enemy saw that this fierce opponent had been shot and fell to the ground, he hurriedly picked up his spear and stabbed at him. Yi Wuxing closed his eyes tightly, this time he really couldn't dodge.
Xie Tong saw Yi Wudauntless being shot and fell to the ground, he was shocked, seeing that the enemy was attacking again, he lifted the internal force of only Yu, and used the whirlwind footwork to dodge in front of Yi Wudaunt, and cut off the spear with a knife, and even pulled it hard, and the two of them were able to avoid this round of sharp stabs. But both of them are at the end of the crossbow, and they have no strength to fight, and they all rely on a spiritual strength to support them.
The enemy raised his spear again, and more than a dozen stabs were snatched up, this time not allowing the two to have another chance to dodge.
With a bang, the heavy city gate was finally slammed open, and the Tang army swarmed in and took over this round of attacks for the two.
Xie Tong was fearless and said, "Thanks to Lao Tzu, otherwise you would have been stabbed into meat sauce just now"
Yi Wuxing scolded with a smile, "Without Lao Tzu, can you split this door bolt?
Both of them laughed from time to time, at this moment the Tang army broke through the city gate, and the rest of the street fighting, taking the Great Wall of Heaven was half successful, and the Tang army rushed into the city with shouts and killing.
Huo Zixin was exhausted at the moment, the sword was blocked left and right uncontrollably, and it was getting weaker and weaker, Huo Zixin knew that this was a sign of prostration, and it wouldn't be long before he couldn't lift the sword, and he would be stabbed in the body by the enemy's spear, becoming a corpse. He looked up and saw that the enemy had surrounded them and attacked them in turn, and the brothers of the forward battalion kept falling. Looks like it's going to be planted here.
Suddenly, there was a roaring shout of killing from outside the enemy's encirclement, and he raised his eyes to see that it was Duan Yuanjing who led this pupil battalion to rescue him. He said hoarsely, "Brothers, rush, our reinforcements have arrived!" This sentence was like giving everyone a bloody blow, and the soldiers of the forward battalion saw the hope of life again. Brave again.
Duan Yuanjing led the men and horses of the Tongzi battalion to directly tear a hole in the enemy's encirclement, disrupting the enemy's encirclement posture, and this new force joining the battlefield played a miraculous effect.
The two armies soon merged in one place, forcing back the enemy's two flanks, and the two sides reverted to a confrontation situation, reaching a five-five split.
Huo Zixin said, "It's really time for Brother Duan to come, and the younger brother almost sacrificed!"
Duan Yuanjing said with a smile, "Commander Huo doesn't need to panic, my pupil battalion will resist for a while, come here, help Commander Huo to rest in the rear."
Huo Zixin said, "You don't need to go to the rear, let the little brother meditate on the spot for a while and recover some strength."
The two armies outside the city fought hard to one place, and the whole battlefield was full of flesh and blood, although the Tongzi battalion was a new force, but after all, it had no formal training, and it would be difficult to gain the upper hand for a while.
Xie Tong and Yi Wudaunt replied outside the city, there were soldiers who had already bandaged Yi Wudaunt's wounds, and Yi Wudaunt's gunshot wounds were concentrated, hurting the bones, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover in a few months. Xie Tong sat in the carriage to rest, and he asked the herald, "How is Commander Huo's side!"
The herald said respectfully, "Commander Huo and Commander Duan are currently blocking the enemy, the two sides are fighting extremely fiercely, but the enemy still has not been able to break through the line of the two commanders, Commander Huo asked for support, saying that as long as he is given a battalion, he can destroy the enemy army."
Xie Tong said, "Give Huo Zixin an order, there is no reinforcement, let him hold on to me, if he can't hold on, he will die on the battlefield for me." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "Put the last preparations into the street battle of the siege, and you must take the Great Wall of Heaven before noon."
"Order", the herald hurried to deliver the message.
After dawn, the herald reported the results of the battle to Xie Tong, and said, "General Qiyu, there is news from the city that all the resisting rebels have been wiped out, and the rest have abandoned the city, and the enemy troops outside the city have also retreated."
Xie Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pass the order, the army will enter the city immediately, and at the same time send an order to Lord Wang to report the situation here."
Xie Tong rode slowly into the city, and when he stepped into the city gate again, he saw this huge door bolt, and even he felt incredible, where did the power come from at that time, even if it was restored to its peak state, I am afraid it would be difficult to do it, presumably this is the strength and will to survive! )
