Yang Bao's eyes were red, as if they were stained red by the blood in front of him, and he commanded hoarsely, but his voice was still drowned in the tsunami-like shouting and killing sound of the mountains after all.

Yang Bao felt a trace of despair, the offensive of the Shu army in front of him was like a tide, wave after wave, as time went by, the soldiers around him fell one after another, and the available soldiers became fewer and fewer, but the offensive of the Shu army showed no signs of attenuation, and became stronger and stronger, and the hope of holding Shangtai City became more and more slim.

In fact, from the beginning of the battle to the present, it has only lasted for more than half an hour, but for most of the hour, for the Wei army defending the city, it is simply a purgatory-like torture, and a battle with no hope in sight will easily breed despair in itself.

Without Yang Bao's persistence, the Wei army defending the city would probably have collapsed long ago, and the current situation is almost Yang Bao alone supporting the entire defense of Shangtai, but this influence has become more and more negligible as the battle progresses.

"Yang Duwei, the offensive of the Shu people is getting more and more fierce, and I am afraid that Shangqi City will not be able to hold it." Li Tuo, the county lieutenant of Shangtai, was pale, although the weather was cold and the cold air was attacking, the beads of sweat on Li Tuo's forehead were as big as beans, and they kept dripping down.

"!" Yang Bao's face was pale, his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Even if you fight to the point of a single soldier, you must not let these thieves step into Shangtai City for half a step!" Whoever dares to speak of defeat and confuse the morale of the army will not be forgiven! ”

Li Tuo's heart trembled, looking at Yang Bao's gloomy gaze, he didn't dare to say anything more, but in his heart, he was full of slander, saying that he was afraid of death. Who isn't afraid? Li Tuo doesn't see death as if he were at home like Yang Bao, he is old and young, and a large family is still waiting for him to support, he doesn't want to sell his life for those meager fortunes.

Yang Bao is probably crazy, there is such a small defender in Shangtai City, what can he do to compete with the mighty Shu army. Fight hard, I'm afraid that it can really only survive and die with the city, no, it can't be talked about survival, only one is left dead.

But Yang Leopard has always been strict, the army is strictly organized, and no one dares to contradict half a sentence in peacetime, and at this moment Yang Leopard is like sitting on a volcanic crater, which may erupt at any time. The armies were so frightened that they had to fight to the death according to orders.

The tenacity of the Shangqi defenders was somewhat unexpected by Liu Yin, who originally thought that the siege of the four gates would be crushed all the way, and no matter how stubborn the resistance was, it would collapse, but he did not expect to attack for nearly an hour in a row, and paid a lot of casualties, but he still failed to take Shangqi.

"This Yang Leopard. There are two brushes. "Liu Yin has a bit of a pity for his talents, such a loyal and brave man. It's really rare. "Suspend the attack, send people to the city to shout, persuade it to surrender, Shangtai City is already exhausted, if this Yang Bao knows the current affairs, he should also understand the current situation."

Hiroshi glanced at it. Bite one's tongue. The lieutenant officer sent several soldiers with very loud voices to the city to shout.

"Listen to the people in the city, you are already exhausted and have no way out, those who know the current affairs should quickly surrender the city, and our Han army will treat the prisoners preferentially. All those who are demoted will be promoted to one level, and there is only one way to die! ”

Yang Bao sneered and said, "Let me surrender, wishful thinking!" He took his bow and arrow, aimed it at the shouting soldier, and shot it with a single arrow.

The soldier who shouted was originally standing outside of an arrow, but he didn't expect Yang Bao's arrow to shoot extremely fiercely, and it shot at him with his mouth wide open, and it shot directly through his people, and both front teeth were broken. The shouting soldier was bleeding profusely and walked away in disarray.

Liu Yin frowned and said, "It seems that this Yang Leopard is really hard-hearted, and he wants to fight to the death." ”

Zhan Hong said: "Among the officials of Longyou, only this Yang Bao has a strong and stupid temperament, and he does not enter the oil and salt, and if he wants to surrender, I am afraid it will not work." ”

Liu Yin looked up at the sun, it was already the sun shadow slanting westward, although the weather in October was not cold enough to be the kind of dripping water into ice, but the morning and evening were cold, only around noon, the soldiers could be used, the attack on Shangqi began to be just noon, and now it has reached an hour, noon has passed, it seems that we have to speed up the intensity of the attack, and strive to take the city before the end of the time.

"Order all the armies to attack with all their might, and be sure to take Shangqi before the time comes."

Liu Yin did not use firearms, if the bamboo grenade was used in the siege battle, not to mention that Yang Bao only had a thousand people, even if he was several times more, he might not be able to hold it, but if you need to use firearms to conquer a small Shangqi, it will really feel like killing chickens with a knife. Although Yang Bao resisted stubbornly, Liu Yin believed that he would not last long, and it was only a matter of time before he won Shangqi.

The offensive of the Shu army, which was put into the offensive again, became even more violent, and 20,000 people hit the city that could not be guarded by 1,000 people for more than an hour, which made Zhao Zhuo, Gao Yuan, Deng Pu and Zhuge Shang, who were in charge of the main attack, very faceless, so the four battalion officers all went into battle together and came to the front line in person to urge the Shu soldiers to attack without stopping.

Under this round of strong attack, Yang Bao is also quite overwhelmed, he knows very well in his heart that the fall of Shangqi is only a matter of time, but Yang Bao has no intention of surrendering, he would rather die in battle than surrender, his grandfather Yang Fu is his model, the Yang family has always only had righteous people who died in battle, and there were no bad people who surrendered.

However, what makes Yang Bao strange is that after the Shu army captured Longxi, it did not fight Nan'an, which is adjacent to Longxi, nor did it attack Ji County, the county capital of Tianshui, but gathered heavy troops and made a detour to attack Shangqi, which was far away. Now whether it is Nan'an or Ji County, the number of troops defending the city is not much more than that of Shangqi, and it seems unreasonable to explain the strategy of the Shu army by first making it easy and then difficult.

Grain and grass? Yang Bao's heart moved, and he thought of the Longxi granary in Shangqi City, that's right, the purpose of the Shu army is the largest granary in Longxi with 200,000 grains and grass, and the Shu army is far away, and it must be a lack of grain and grass, so it will be reluctant to seek the near and far, and attack Shangqi City first.

Thinking of this section, Yang Bao's eyes flashed with a ruthless color, this thing is no longer possible, so these grains and grasses must not fall into the hands of the Shu army.

"County Lieutenant Li!" Yang Bao turned back to Li Tuo and said, "You quickly take people to the granary and burn all the grain and grass immediately!" ”

Li Tuo was dumbfounded, but looking at Yang Bao's resolute appearance, he had no choice but to give up his orders, take a team of people, and go in the direction of the granary.

Yang Bao suddenly relaxed at this moment, his heart seemed to be relieved of a thousand burdens, and he suddenly sneered when he looked at the Shu soldiers who were coming like a tide. (To be continued.) )
