"Dangdangdangγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" The sound of gongs sounded everywhere on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Western Qin army on duty on the city wall got up one after another, picked up their weapons and entered the combat post. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As soon as Ziyad saw this formation, he knew that the sneak attack was half a failure, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, and it would be a failure to retreat, he couldn't afford to lose this person, and now he could only attack hard, he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, attack!" Capture the city wall before the Western Qin army's defensive forces are all in place, as long as we capture the city wall, we will win! Kill everyone with me! β
"Allah willing!"
"Allah willing, kill!" The Master Golden Soldiers roared and ran towards the city wall quickly.
The guard general of Zaheidan is called Wang Yaoguang, he and his generals did not expect that the Great Food Army would suddenly appear under the city of Zaheidan and carry out a sneak attack, although he deployed a guard and garrison on the city wall, but there are not many troops, and the wind and waves have been calm for several days, and the soldiers who are guarding on the city wall are also slack, and they are taken advantage of by the big cannibals.
There were only 500 people on the west city wall, and after the warning gong sounded, everyone woke up and immediately picked up weapons for defense, but at this time, some of the big food soldiers had jumped on the city wall, and the two sides immediately fought, and for a while, the originally quiet city wall was deafening in an instant.
There are pots of burning firewood on the city wall at intervals for lighting, which can make the light on the city wall as bright as day, but after discovering the enemy's situation, He Roller, the general of the Western Qin on duty on the city wall, immediately ordered all these braziers to be kicked over, plunging the entire city wall into darkness, so that it brought great trouble to the strong attack of the sneak attack of the Great Food Army, and they had to confirm whether they were friends or foes before slashing and killing the people opposite.
The continuous sound of gongs and alarms on the city wall and a large number of fighting cries soon alarmed the soldiers and civilians in the city, in less than a minute, the entire Zaheidan city was boiling, every household lit up the oil lamp, Wang Guangyao in the city lord's mansion got the report, immediately put on his armor and took more than 100 personal soldiers to the military camp in the city, and when he arrived at the military camp, more than 1,000 soldiers in the military camp had been assembled, he immediately rushed over with more than 1,000 horses to the west city wall to reinforce, and the defenders of the other four city walls did not get orders and did not dare to move, can only strictly stick to the post.
"General, the big cannibals suddenly attacked, the coming is fierce, the troops are numerous, the brothers woke up from their sleep and were unprepared, rushed to the battle, and suffered heavy casualties, now the city wall is full of big cannibals, the brothers are too scattered, they are about to be unable to withstand it!" A lieutenant, covered in blood, reported loudly to the general on duty, He Roller.
He Roller cut down a large food army that rushed up and ordered loudly: "Pass the order, give up part of the city wall, shrink the troops, and let all the brothers fight and retreat in the direction of the city gate tower!" β
"Yes!"
He Roller's order was issued quite timely and correct at this time, in the case that it has suffered heavy losses, the troops are too scattered and easy to be broken by the Great Food Army, and the casualty rate will increase, before the reinforcements arrive, the shrinking forces and concentrate on holding the city gate tower This section of the city wall can prevent the Great Food Army from entering the city, after all, this city wall is also more than two zhang high, it is six or seven meters, this height in the dark night no one dares to jump down casually, in He Roller's view, the big cannibal wants to kill into the city, You can only go down from the stone stairs of the city gate tower, and guarding the city gate tower can prevent the Great Food Army from entering the city.
The Western Qin army guarding the city is a compulsory army, and its combat effectiveness is certainly not as good as the standing army, and there has been basically no war in the Western Qin in recent years, and they have no chance to conduct actual combat.
Although the combat effectiveness of these volunteer soldiers is not as good as that of the standing army, but the execution of the order is not inferior to the standing army, they have the same order system as the standing army, after He Roller's order was issued, the remaining soldiers of the Western Qin Army on the city wall fought and retreated, all the way to the direction of the city gate tower, and the attack of the Great Food Army has also increased, in any case, the denser the troops on the city wall, the more difficult it is to attack.
"What's going on? Why don't you move forward? Ziad, armed with a bloodstained scimitar, asked loudly as he pulled away the soldiers in front of him.
A centurion of a large food army who was picked up replied: "General, the Western Qin army is all concentrated near the city gate tower, the troops are too dense, the city wall is so wide, our strength advantage cannot be brought into play, if we want to capture the city gate tower, it will take a long time, and then the reinforcements in the city will have enough time to arrive!" β
Ziad frowned: "According to the information detected by the rangers, there are a total of 3,000 defenders in this city, and if it turns into a tug-of-war, our casualties will increase greatly!" β
After speaking, Ziad looked left and right, and the ladder under the city wall came into his eyes, and he had a flash of inspiration, and immediately said: "Quickly pull up the siege ladder and erect it under the city on the other side, and send some soldiers to slide down the ladder and attack them from behind!" β
"Yes, General!"
He Roller miscalculated, he underestimated the IQ of the big cannibal, as long as he climbed the city wall, there was definitely more than one way to enter the city, He Roller took hundreds of Western Qin soldiers to guard the city gate tower, but slipped down the siege ladder The soldiers of the Great Eater Army in the city climbed up from the stairs next to them and attacked their backs!
"General, the big cannibals have come from behind us, they have entered the city, and the walls cannot be defended!" A lieutenant said in a hurry.
He Luo turned his head to look, only to see a large number of big food soldiers climbing up the stairs, and the soldiers under his command had to divide a part to resist the big food army that was killing from behind, but at this time, the besieged Western Qin army was already panicked.
He Roller, who was covered in blood, turned pale with a pale face, and he said to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, we were careless tonight, and we were taken advantage of by the big cannibals, this is our sin, we have been wrong, we can't be wrong again and again, now we can only defend the city tower, drag the big food army, and give the time that General Wang Guangyao in the city buys, even if all of them die in battle!" β
"Death, everyone is afraid, who wants to die if they can live? But capital crimes are inevitable, rather than being dragged to trial by the Judge Advocate General, spurned by the world, and disgraced by our ancestors and future generations, it is better to die here in battle, even if we are wrong, but at least let the world know that we are not a bad seed! β
He Roller's words touched the ruthlessness and blood courage in the hearts of the soldiers, and a captain raised his waist knife and shouted: "The general is right, because of our carelessness, let the big cannibals take advantage of the loophole and lose the city wall, we must not retreat and escape, if we want to die, we will die here, killing one is enough, killing two will be earned!" Brothers, isn't it? β
"Yes, fight to the death, fight to the death, kill, kill, kill!" The remaining more than 300 soldiers of the Western Qin Army roared and slashed at the big food soldiers on the opposite side with their weapons.
Wang Guangyao, who was rushing with the troops, met the soldiers who reported the news on the way, "General, it is the Great Food Army that has attacked the city wall, they have captured the west city wall, General He Roller is taking the remaining brothers to defend the city gatehouse, but a small part of the Great Food Army has entered the city, General He Roller asked the villain to tell the general that the strength of the Great Food Army is too much, and the city wall tower is determined to be unable to hold it!" He said that if the general did not plan to lead the army to withdraw, he could only organize all the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight street battles with the Great Food Army in the city, and use the houses and all buildings in the city to prevent the Great Food Army from capturing the whole city! β
Wang Guangyao listened to the words of the soldier who reported the news and began to ponder, he knew very well what the consequences of losing the city were, no matter what reason you have, what background you have, because there are clear regulations, but all the guards who lose the city and land will be deprived of all titles, official positions, honors, and sentenced to death, and even their families will be implicated, but the war dead are exceptions, so in this case, death in battle is the best choice.
Thinking of this, Wang Guangyao understood what he should do, and he immediately instructed one of the generals beside him: "You immediately dispatch two teams of elite cavalry, one team to Jiling City, and the other team to Shuergaz City to report, and report the situation here to General Huo Kan and the Great King respectively, just say that my Wang Guangyao is not effective in defending the city, let the big cannibals sneak attack into the city, I deserve to die, but I will lead the whole city of soldiers and civilians to fight the big cannibals to the death!" β
"Yes!" The general agreed, and immediately selected two teams of men and horses from the cavalry behind him, and sent them out respectively, one of them went out of the city from the north gate, and the other team went out of the city from the south gate.
Wang Guangyao instructed another general: "You quickly take some people to the streets and alleys to beat gongs and drums and tell all the people in the city that the big cannibals have attacked the city of Zahedan, and now the city wall can no longer be defended, once the big cannibals enter the city, with their ferocity, they will definitely start a massacre, and all the people and livestock in the city will not be spared, if we want to live, everyone in the city must pick up weapons and fight to the death with the big cannibals to have the possibility of survival!" Convey my promise, as long as you can repel the great cannibal, you will definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds afterwards, killing a great cannibal soldier will be rewarded with two silver dollars, killing a ten-master will be rewarded with twenty silver dollars, and so on! If the people are willing to join us in killing the big cannibals, let them hide in the house and sneak attack, don't come out, we will send people to their homes to teach them how to kill the big cannibals, they just need to follow the order! β
"Yes, General, I'll go!"
Wang Guangyao instructed the remaining generals: "You are responsible for assigning soldiers to the people to direct them to kill the big cannibals, send a soldier to each household, send a chief to each household, send a team officer to twenty households, and send a captain to one hundred households, and we will fight the big cannibals in this city to the end!" β
"Yes, General!"
