Chapter Ninety-Nine: Reinforcements Arrive
"Wow......"
A crisp metal impact sounded, Gong Daxian's waist knife and the Japanese knife in Gong Daxian's hand collided together, making a crisp and tooth-sore sound, and Gong Daxian, who rushed to a strong collision, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and at the same time felt a sore numbness in his right hand, and the waist knife in his hand was almost out of his hand, he couldn't help but secretly complain, he didn't expect this wolf's strength to be so great.
Seeing Gong Daxian's crumbling figure, this widow was overjoyed, he had already seen that this Ming officer should be the leader of these Ming troops, as long as he could kill him, the Ming army would collapse immediately, and he was happy He quickly stepped forward and slashed at Gong Daxian's head with a knife in both hands. At this time, Gong Daxian, who was numb in his right hand, didn't have the strength to raise his knife to block for a while, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
"Wow......"
Gong Daxian, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, found a familiar voice sounding overhead, and the expected knife light did not hit his head, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be a family member who rushed over and waved his knife to block the attack of this widow. After blocking the attack of the Japanese robbers, the family did not forget to remind himself loudly: "My lord, go away!" ”
Gong Daxian did not retreat as the family said, but waved a knife and joined forces with the family to kill the wolf, and this wolf was indeed fierce, and he was not afraid in the face of the joint attack of the two.
"Ah......h
When the three of them were killing fiercely, a miserable scream sounded next to them, Gong Daxian looked at it with his spare eyes, it turned out that at the moment when he and this family were fighting with the Japanese invaders, two more Japanese soldiers climbed up from the city, and were killing with several soldiers, in the flash of sharp knives, half of a soldier's shoulder was cut off, blood flowed out like a fountain, and the spear in the soldier's hand fell to the ground and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Oh no, the thieves have attacked the city wall!"
More and more Japanese robbers climbed the city wall to join the battlefield, killed the soldiers on the city wall and suffered heavy casualties, and retreated in defeat and retreat, Gong Daxian's heart was cold, could it be that Zhenjiang Mansion was really going to fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders today.
And the erect flower who was fighting outside the castle saw a steady stream of his own people pouring up the city wall, and laughed happily.
"Hahaha...... Zhenjiang Mansion has been breached, pass on my order, after taking Zhenjiang Mansion, allow our warriors not to seal the sword for three days, and the women and treasures inside are all robbed at will! ”
"Half-load ......"
When the order of Erectus Huakan was passed down, all the Japanese were crazy, and many people had crazy eyes in their eyes, and all the Japanese who were originally on standby rushed towards the city wall, seeing that the resistance of the city head was getting weaker and weaker, and the Zhenjiang prefect was standing in the city gate tower
Wu Zhenliang's heart was cold, his hands and feet were sore, he staggered to the railing, and looked at the ant-like widows under the city wall who were constantly rushing towards the city, and he couldn't help crying bitterly: "The sky is going to kill me!" ”
As the prefect of Zhenjiang, it is naturally impossible for him to escape. Not to mention that he is a civil official who is not diligent in all four bodies, it is really more difficult to escape in this situation of panic than to ascend to the sky, even if he is lucky enough to escape from Zhenjiang City after taking 10,000 steps back, but as a local parent official, if he abandons the city and flees, what awaits him is only the end of beheading.
At this moment, countless thoughts swirled in Wu Zhenliang's mind, and after a long time, he laughed miserably: "That's it...... This official is deeply favored by the emperor, and today this official will commit suicide to repay the emperor's favor, the emperor...... Minister...... Went to ......"
After speaking, Wu Zhenliang was about to rush towards the outside of the city wall, but was stopped by an entourage beside him.
Wu Zhenliang's entourage was an old servant who had followed him for many years, only to see this old servant holding Wu Zhenliang's arm, and the old man cried with tears: "Master, you must not look for a short time, the matter has not yet reached the last moment, maybe there is a turnaround." ”
"Turnaround?" Wu Zhenliang shook his head: "Uncle Wu, don't coax me, where is there any turning point now, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, the fall of Zhenjiang Mansion is imminent, it is better to kill the thieves than to kill them, so that they may be able to leave a good reputation." ”
The old servant was anxious, pointed outside and comforted loudly: "Master, wait and see, maybe reinforcements ...... Reinforcements ......"
Speaking of this, the old servant's voice suddenly became trembling, and the fingers that were originally pointing to the outside also trembled like chaff, "Master...... Master...... You don't have to look for short-sightedness...... Reinforcements...... Our reinforcements are coming......"
Wu Zhenliang laughed miserably, "Uncle Wu, don't coax me, where are there any reinforcements now." ”
"Woo ......"
As soon as Wu Zhenliang's words fell, he heard a low horn sound in the distance, which was still faintly audible and could not be heard clearly, but slowly the horn began to sound louder, and some of the Japanese and city guards who were fighting on the city wall looked at the sound, and could faintly see some small black dots coming quickly in their direction.
"Woooooooooo......oo Whining...... Woohoo......"
The sound of the horn was getting closer and closer, and when the familiar sound of three long and two short came to the sky above the city wall, Gong Daxian, who was leading the last remaining dozen or so family members to form a difficult formation to resist the attack of the Japanese invaders, was startled at first. Listening to the familiar sound of the horn, his body shook suddenly, and his blood-spattered face showed a look of ecstasy, and then he screamed with all his might.
"Brothers...... Reinforcements arrived...... Our reinforcements have arrived...... Kill the thief! ”
Those on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers who were already desperate heard the unique horn sound of the Ming army, and their morale was greatly boosted, and many people also fought hard to launch a counterattack against the Japanese with the last courage.
"Kill the thief!"
"Reinforcements are coming, brothers kill!"
For a while, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall was greatly shaken and they fought hard to kill the Japanese invaders, but on the other hand, after the Japanese invaders heard the sound of the horn outside the city, many people began to be a little suspicious, and for a time they were killed by the soldiers guarding the city and retreated.
"My lord, the reinforcements of the Ming people are coming, what should we do?"
Outside the city, Tanigawa Yaqing looked at the black dots in the distance that were coming towards him in a little panic, and her face showed a hint of panic.
Erectus Kan Tie blushed: "What else can I do, order everyone to stop the siege of the city, and immediately form a formation outside the city!" Act fast, or it'll be too late! ”
"Hai ......"
With the order of Erect Huakan, the Japanese who were attacking the city withdrew from the city head one after another, and Gong Daxian took the opportunity to lead the family and the defenders of the city to launch a counterattack......
