Just when the soldiers of the Tianxing Army wanted to kill Ji Huailiang and others, suddenly there was a dense "sigh" in the darkness inside the city wall.
This wave of arrow rain came very intensively, instantly enveloping the Tianxing Army in the arrow rain.
The equipment of the Tianxing army is very poor, half of them have no armor, and even if they have armor, most of them are light leather armor, and less than one hundred iron armor. Under the blow of a rain of arrows, the Tianxing army was suddenly in chaos.
The reinforcements of the Tang Army finally arrived at an urgent and critical time. The soldiers of the Tianxing Army, who were caught off guard, were repelled by the reinforcements brought by Xu Jingzong.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Tianxing Army were retreating, this boiled duck was about to fly away. How could Fan Junzhang give up.
Fan Junzhang ordered all the troops that had feinted from the south, north, and west to withdraw and concentrate on attacking one point.
In terms of the art of war, Fan Junzhang did not make any mistakes. After all, he still occupies nearly a hundred steps of space on the city wall, and this steep slope can continuously increase troops to the city.
Zhang Huaiwei, who was commanding the battle in Nancheng, saw the enemy slowly returning, and at this time he finally came to his senses. At all costs, he ran in the direction of Dongcheng with the fifth regiment.
At this time, the focus of the attack and defense of the two sides on Shenchi County was concentrated on the city wall of Dongcheng. The Tang army controlled the Shangma Road in the city, while the Tianxing army controlled the steep slope of the gap, and the two sides fought fiercely within the city wall of more than 200 steps from the gate tower of the east city to the first enemy tower.
The personal guards led by Xu Jingzong were actually more than 100 people, but they were just caught off guard by the Tianxing army. In just a quarter of an hour, more than two-thirds of Xu Jingzong's more than 100 personal guards were killed and wounded, and they were compressed by the officers and soldiers of the Tianxing Army in a position of about 30 steps before the road.
If you retreat, the next step is to get on the road. Once this forward position is lost, it also means that Shenchi County is lost.
Fortunately, Zhang Huaiwei rushed to Dongcheng when Xu Jingzong was about to lose the last piece of position.
This time it suddenly became more lively. The two sides fought fiercely around the city wall of Dongcheng, which was only two hundred steps. Now it's a fueling tactic. And the eastern city wall became a huge flesh mill, swallowing up the soldiers on both sides.
Fan Junzhang closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of ancient wells.
Fan Junzhang's lieutenant looked at the battle that was still stalemate on the city wall, and asked puzzledly: "Generally speaking, when a team of men and horses is lost in half of a battle, there will be a large-scale rout. If it is an elite soldier, then it is no more than thirty percent at most. However, the casualties of this Tang army are close to half, and there is no sign of rout......"
Fan Junzhang slowly opened his eyes, revealing an astonishing light: "This is not an elite soldier!" โ
"Not an elite soldier!"
The adjutant general was surprised: "How can such a well-equipped army not be considered an elite soldier?" โ
As the two sides fought Shenchi City for more than an hour, the third regiment of the Tang Army was completely annihilated, the fifth regiment was half disabled, and even the newly drawn fourth regiment also fought out a brigade, in fact, there were only two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment left in the first fold of the Dingyuan Army at this time, and the whole army was more than 1,800 people, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers who could fight at this time.
Fan Junzhang said: "Since ancient times, the surprise attack of strange soldiers, must be born after the land, when Cao Cao led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wuchao, Liu Jiaozhi led 5,000 Beifu soldiers to attack Luojian at night, with not elite soldiers, but dead soldiers. This army was sent by Chen Yingxiaoer to attack Shenchi, they had no reinforcements, no way back, only to fight to the death! โ
Bell Boom โ
A brave Tianxing Army junior colonel rounded the mace in his hand and smashed it towards Zhang Huaiwei's head, and Zhang Huaiwei clenched the horizontal knife with both hands to block. With a piercing golden sound, Zhang Huaiwei's hands were empty. The horizontal knife in his hand was actually smashed away.
The Tianxing Army Colonel rushed towards Zhang Huaiwei excitedly, Zhang Huaiwei subconsciously withdrew and retreated, but he stepped into the air, if Zhang Huaiwei didn't see it quickly, I am afraid that it would be like a gourd rolling down to the city. Zhang Huaiwei hissed a breath of cold air, he had already retreated to the steps of the dismount at this time, if he retreated again, the Shenchi would be lost.
Seeing that the last position was about to be lost, the morale of the officers and men of the Tianxing Army, who had the absolute upper hand, was greatly boosted. More and more Tianxing troops rushed to the city wall, and as far as the eye could see, the city wall was densely packed with Tianxing army soldiers, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than 1,000 people.
Zhang Huaiwei looked at the soldiers around him with a strong look of exhaustion, and his heart was also full of helplessness.
He has no knowledge, and he has no ambition to be a marquis.
He's just an ordinary ordinary person.
What will happen to Yan Niang if I die? If he retreats, based on his relationship with Chen Ying, Chen Ying will not use his head to correct military law. Whether Chen Ying will show favoritism, Zhang Huaiwei is really not sure about this matter.
At this time, Zhang Huaiwei became nervous.
However, at this moment, a group of people appeared on the streets of the city, men, women, and children, and the crowd unexpectedly saw Yan.
Yan was actually wearing a red wedding dress at this time.
Zhang Huaiwei said secretly: "Why is she here?" โ
After all, the Yan family is the county lady, and her knowledge is much stronger than that of Shengdou Xiaomin. Now she has committed to Zhang Huaiwei, if Zhang Huaiwei abandons the city and escapes, what will happen to him Yan Shi is not clear, but she knows very well that she will definitely become the object of the people's anger, and it is definitely cheap for her to be cut with a knife, and the most ideal way to die is to be naked, with a body and body, and ride a wooden donkey around the city for three days to die painfully.
So, come to think of it. Yan put on the wedding dress he had bought for his daughter and walked to the battlefield. She needs to use herself to give Zhang Huaiwei enough courage.
Yan looked at Zhang Huaiwei and said: "General Zhang, you have done your best, the thieves are nothing more than asking for money, and we Shenchi people have prepared the wealth and the woman's soft chest......"
When Zhang Huaiwei saw the Yan family, he who originally wanted to deflation, and suddenly an inexplicable strength rose in his heart, and Zhang Huaiwei shouted: "Brothers, when will we get mixed up with the Yuan Army so that women look down on us?" โ
The soldiers of the Tang Army, who were originally exhausted, suddenly roared angrily at this moment!
"A woman's soft breasts? What does this mean! โ
"Fuck, bullshit!"
Zhang Huaiwei yelled: "Could it be that our first fold in the mansion has fallen to the point that even women look down on us?" โ
"No more thieves can be allowed to set foot on the city!"
"Kill, kill! Let these thieves come and go! โ
In the roar of the Tang Army, there were constantly living people who fell to their deaths, and some of them had become dead before they landed.
Yan appeared under the city, and all the men were ignited with anger, they straightened their backs, squeezed out all the strength of their bodies, and would rather fight out their strength than let women look down on them.
Below Zhang Huaiwei, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army launched an absolute counterattack against the soldiers of the Tianxing Army on the city wall. In the face of the rain of swords and arrows of the soldiers of the Tianxing Army, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not dodge, but just rushed forward with their shields! There are those who have been shot through the head by arrows but are not dead for a while, and there are those who have broken their arms and still have a breath left, but they are still crawling forward and rolling forward with the last strength! It seems that the dense formation of the Tianxing Army is not hell, but heaven!
One person is desperate, and ten people are invincible. But Zhang Huaiwei is now desperate with all the soldiers of the First Fold, and launched a crazy attack.
At this time, Zhang Huaiwei's eyes were red.
He had only one thought left, attack, attack, attack!!
