Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 12
Tian Jing tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and asked loudly: "County Lieutenant Chen, why did Xu Wucheng's reinforcements only arrive today?" ”
"Back to my lord, as soon as the people in the city heard that the barbarians were coming, they fled one after another, and Xu Wucheng was in chaos. In order to maintain the law and order of Xu Wucheng, the county magistrate had to delay the support again and again. Xia Guan had already arrived overnight, and there was no delay on the road. The soldiers walked more than 300 miles in a row, very tired, and hoped that the adults would let them rest. ”
Tian Jing looked at the soldiers in the square, shook his head, and asked, "How many of you came?" ”
"Lord Hui, two hundred and thirty-two." Seeing Tian Jing's disappointed face, Chen Jie hurriedly added, "My lord, our county commander has done his best. All the people in the county government who could hold knives came, even the man who cooked for the adults, and the old man Tian who guarded the west city gate. I really can't find anyone. Now the entire Xu Wucheng, the county commander is alone with a few people who are not leaving, looking at the city gate. ”
Tian Jing didn't speak, and she was very moved in her heart. He pulled up Chen Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Go and rest." ”
Li Hong almost couldn't believe his eyes, there were still such old soldiers in the Great Han Kingdom.
Tian Zhong raised his head and stood straight. He was thin, medium-sized, with gray hair, a curled goatee, and very old armor.
Li Hong hesitated for a moment and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Back to my lord, it's sixty-two."
Li Hong could hardly believe his ears this time. He suddenly became angry. Could it be that all the men in the prime of life in the Han Kingdom are dead?
He looked left and right, and suddenly shouted at Chen Jie's back: "Lord Chen, what do you mean by this?" ”
Chen Jie hurriedly ran over. When he saw Tian Chong, he immediately understood. He laughed: "Lord Li probably doesn't understand the situation. This field ......."
Li Hong interrupted him and said angrily: "Are all the prime men of my Great Han Kingdom dead? At his age, he should have held his grandson at home, not to fight. ”
"My lord......" Chen Jie wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Tian Jing who hurriedly walked over.
Tian Zhong saw Tian Jing and suddenly laughed: "My lord, I haven't seen each other for a long time. ”
Tian Jing looked at him and sighed, "Have you been okay?" ”
"I'm sturdy. I can't die anymore, so I'm here. ”
Tian Jing walked over, pulled him out of the ranks of soldiers, pointed at Li Hong and asked him, "This young man is good, right?" ”
Tian Chong nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's not easy to mess with at first glance." ”
Tian Jing laughed, put her mouth to his ear, and whispered a few words. Tian Chong's eyes suddenly lit up as he finished speaking, "Oh, it's him." Awesome, awesome. ”
Li Hong was guessing the relationship between the captain and the veteran in front of him, and Tian Jing had already called him: "Come, let me introduce you to you." This is my eldest brother, Tian Chongtian Changjing, a veteran of more than 40 years. He was the horseman of four generals and five lieutenant generals of the Han Dynasty. The last one is Tian Yan, the general of Po Xianbei. After the Sunset War, Lord Tian returned from defeat and deliberately reserved his military status permanently. He has been fighting horses all his life, lonely and helpless, and when he is old, he gets a soldier's salary and barely survives, which can be regarded as the Great Han Kingdom treats him well. ”
"At that time, the adults were still in the army." Tian Zhong said with a smile.
Tian Jing nodded, "This is Li Hong and Li Zimin, who is a tun chief." He will be the one who will be prosperous in the future. ”
Li Hong hurriedly saluted Tian Chong. Tian Da was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to return the salute, but was stopped by Tian Jing, "It's polite for the junior to give you a salute." Don't go up to the castle tower, go to the crescent tower. ”
Tian Zhong stopped doing it, "Why?" ”
"What can you do?" Tian Jing said angrily.
"I can help deliver arrows, carry wounded soldiers, and carry dead soldiers down."
Tian Jing was silent. He sighed and said, "Okay. If I die, remember to carry me down. ”
Li Hong and Ji Ming each walked up to the left and right city walls with a hundred people. Chen Jie and the rest of the people were organized into a reserve of fifty people.
A red sun slowly rose over the eastern horizon, and the golden sun shone on the war-torn Luronse, gilding the entire fortress with a dazzling glow. The soldiers were bathed in the warm sun, feeling comfortable and comfortable.
Tian Jing stood on the city tower, looking at the siege troops coming densely, his heart was heavy. Uyan's reinforcements finally arrived on the tenth day of their assault on Luronse, and there were at least three thousand men.
The soldiers stood on the tower, and their hearts were also up and down. Yesterday when they withdrew, there were not so many people, but today there was a sudden surge of many people coming out. How much backup do these Hu people have?
Seeing that the Han army had given up Yunlou, Xiong Ba's heart finally fell to the ground. This shows that reinforcements from the Han have not yet arrived. With the casualties increasing sharply and the personnel unable to replenish, Tian Jing finally took the initiative to give up the cloud tower and simply stuck to the main city wall.
"Shall we take the opportunity to occupy the Cloud Tower?" Que Ji asked Xiong domineeringly.
"No need. In the past, in order to avoid being attacked by the two wings of Lu Longsai, we had to find a way to occupy the Mei Tower and the Cloud Tower. Now Meilou has been burned by the Han people, and Yunlou has been abandoned by the Han people on their own initiative, and its two wings have been broken. Attack, take them down in one go, while their reinforcements haven't arrived yet. ”
After the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the Hu coalition army soared, and the intensity of the attack was even more fierce than yesterday. Uyan still adopts the tactics of main attack on the left side and auxiliary attack on the right side, and the soldiers do not rest and take turns to attack.
The soldiers up and down the fortress were shouting, and the roar shook the sky. The walls were crowded with people fighting each other, and the corpses lying down everywhere above and below the city, and the deafening sound of war drums and horns resounded throughout Luronse.
The Xianbei soldiers who came to the aid from Baitan City this time were all elites recruited from different tribes, all of them were full of physical strength and high morale, and killing people was like slaughtering pigs and sheep, which was a disaster for the very tired Han soldiers. Uyan arranged all of them on the main battlefield and tried to succeed in the first battle.
Although Li Hong is brave, he is now at the end of his crossbow. Wielding a bloody sword, he led his soldiers to rush to the city wall again and again to block and kill, and then organize everyone to charge, block, and kill. It wasn't until no one followed him that Li Hong felt that the situation was very bad. But the enemy in front of him seemed to know no tiredness and no death, and still stubbornly and tenaciously climbed over the wall, jumped down, and slashed with his sword. For the first time, Li Hong felt fearful, and he felt that he was no longer facing Xianbei people, not Karasuma people, but a lifeless, unconscious zombie.
He raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Support, who will support me......" Then he heard the sound of running footsteps and heard Chen Jie's roar. Chen Jie brandished a large knife that was a zhang long, and he was angry and killed more than a dozen people. Li Hong's heart was relieved, and he almost knelt on the ground. He really can't kill anymore.
Chen Jie's big knife was so powerful that he would die if he hit it, and he would be injured if he touched it. More than a dozen soldiers protected him, like a fierce tiger with teeth and claws, bravely killing the enemy. His knife is long, leaving a lot of space when swinged. He soon fell into the trap set by the Xianbei people.
Li Hong's whole body trembled violently, and even the hand holding the knife was beating unconsciously. Li Hong saw the trick of the Xianbei people, and he shouted with all his strength: "Retreat......"
Chen Jie didn't hear it, the sound on the battlefield was too loud. Even if he heard him, he would not retreat, he saw a Xianbei soldier rushing towards him, he rounded the long knife and slashed down, disemboweling the soldier hard, and then he was hugged by an enemy soldier next to him with a big knife. Chen Jie sneered in his heart, shaking his hand and shaking the knife, intending to drag him to death. Unexpectedly, that manpower was very strong, and Chen Jie didn't pull out the big knife after three draws. It was the time when these three pumps did not twitch, and the three Xianbei people jumped up from the ground, side, and front, and inserted the three war knives into Chen Jie's body at the same time. Chen Jie let out a huge roar and finally drew his knife to kill his opponent. Then he fell straight to the ground. The soldiers behind shouted and rushed up, and immediately chopped the three Xianbei people into pulp.
Wang Jin had already been injured in many places, one of his arms had been cut off, and he was hanging on his body and shaking. He felt no pain, and ******** he was going to kill his enemies down the tower. His retinue had all been killed, and the soldiers around him, under his leadership, fought hard against the enemy. They were inspired by the murderous aura of Lord Jun Sima, and they were fearless and moved forward bravely.
Wang Jin finally stabbed his sword into the chest of the last enemy. The sword pierced through the corpses of the enemy and pressed against the hard stones of the walls. Wang Jin turned back to the soldiers and shouted: "Kill ......" Then he felt that his vest had been pierced with a sharp weapon, and the severe pain made him unconsciously let out a wild roar. He jerked around, drew his sword in his right hand, and plunged into the throat of the enemy who was about to pounce on the wall. Before the man died, the knife did not abate, and he slashed the long sword. The enemy soldiers fell silently from the tower. Wang Jin's tiger's mouth shook so loudly that the long sword couldn't hold it, and it bounced into the air along with the war knife. Once again, a face appeared on the wall, a bow, and three long arrows. One bow and three arrows, three arrows in unison, this is a sharpshooter. Wang Jin heard a sound, and then saw three arrows penetrate his body.
Wang Jin suddenly felt that death was so simple, there was no pain, no fear, and his whole body was as light as a feather. Wang Jin fell into the arms of the soldiers.
Li Hong rushed in and out of the city wall like a madman, and was finally kicked to the ground by the enemy with all his strength. Li Hong roared, his sword slashing into the thigh of an enemy. The man roared and fell to the ground. Li Hong's small axe roared and slashed into the chest of one of the people in the middle. There was also an unstoppable knife that came straight to the neck.
Li Hong suddenly felt that he was completely liberated, Lu Longsai, killing people, setting fires, everything had nothing to do with him anymore. He smiled at the man, his eyes wide. He seemed to have seen the wind and snow, the face of the wind and snow, and the figure in white clothes like blood. Then he saw a long arrow, a long arrow stuck in the enemy's chest. The man roared unwillingly, and was carried back twice by the remnants of the arrow, and fell on his back.
Li Hong laughed. Is it so hard to even die? Another knife, a bloody knife. The enemy, who was lying next to Li Hong, endured the severe pain of being chopped on his thigh, stubbornly got up, raised his knife and slashed at his neck. This man killed countless of his comrades, and he was going to kill him no matter what.
Tian Chong's figure appeared beside Li Hong, he breathed rapidly, and shot a fatal arrow at close range at the enemy who raised his sword.
Li Hong looked at Tian Chong's gray hair, and his laughter stopped abruptly. He felt he was too selfish. Compared to this old man, what has he done, what has he done for the Great Han Kingdom, is it too selfish to die and want to die now. He suddenly came to his senses and got up on his feet.
"Didn't you carry the wounded?" Li Hong asked.
Tian Zhong smiled at him and threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground, "I'm too old, I'm out of breath when I run so much." After saying that, he hurriedly ran towards the opposite side of the city wall. Tian Zhong picked up a bloodied soldier, carried it on his thin back, and disappeared into the crowd at a trot.
Li Hong looked at his back, and suddenly tears rained down. He picked up his sword from the ground, pulled his axe from the corpse of his enemy, and struck at the crowded area.
Tian Jing sat next to Wang Jin's corpse, he sat in a daze, looking at his subordinates who had followed him for more than ten years, and let tears flow down his cheeks. He seemed to have forgotten the bloody battlefield in front of him, and he seemed to have returned to the past, to the years when they gathered together and laughed.
Uyan looked at Lu Longsai, who was killing the sky, and looked at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west. He turned his head to look at Meishan, which had been burned black, and he thought of the fat man Suli. This white fat man has never given him a good look. Now dead, with a fire that burned to ashes, he misses him a little.
"Order, today the army will attack the city overnight and swear to take Luronse."
Xiong Ba nodded appreciatively. This Uyan is indeed brave, resourceful, and courageous. The king was not called for nothing. Now the Han army is exhausted, and it only has the ability to parry, and there is no strength to fight back. The soldiers were denied rest, nourished and fed, and had no food to eat. On the other hand, the morale of the soldiers is high, the physical strength is still supportable, and the personnel are well prepared. If you don't take the opportunity to take the main city wall today, it will indeed be a waste of opportunity.
"Order, light thirty bonfires under the city, kill cattle and roast meat."
"Order the soldiers of the whole army to take turns to eat meat and rest, take turns to attack the city, if we don't take Lulongsai today, we will all die here."
Suddenly, an earth-shattering war drum sounded over Luronse. The drums beat like a stormy wave, striking the hearts of the attackers.
Wuyan and Xiong Ba suddenly became nervous, and both of them saw horror and horror in each other's eyes.
