Chapter 14 The exhausted city breaks the fall of Pingyang, and the road to life is discussed in the void view
But at this moment, I only heard the sound of "ding dong", and I saw several long arrows shot in the distance, which were on the long knife. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Zhang Shijie felt a huge pain in his wrist, and he couldn't hold the long knife, and fell to the ground with a "Zheng" sound, but only left a bloody mark on Zhang Hongfan's cheek, and several strands of long hair fell down, but it did not cause much injury.
"Not dead?"
Although Zhang Hongfan was surprised, he looked at his cousin with angry eyes, turned over with evil thoughts, jumped in front of Zhang Shijie from the bottom up, and hugged his chest with his palms in front of him.
The sound of the wind suddenly rose, blowing up countless smoke and dust, and under the urging of this sharp palm, a huge stone with a width of several feet in the distance suddenly shattered, turning into countless gravel.
"Sure enough, can't this level of attack kill you?" wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zhang Hongfan looked at Zhang Shijie standing in the distance.
At this moment, Zhang Shijie's arms were across his chest, and his sleeves had been completely torn apart by the strength of the palm, revealing two arms with knotted muscles and blood, behind that pair of iron fists, his black eyes were already full of blood and looked at Zhang Hongfan: "Don't worry." I won't rest without seeing you die. Beyond Zhang Shijie, his gaze fell on the distance.
And there, several war horses were riding over, and the people on them were also the same as Zhang Shijie, wearing Xuantie armor, and let the bow and crossbow and gun rush towards this side without caring about it, those who were the high-level warriors under his father's command, and now after seeing Zhang Hongfan in danger, they also ran over to help.
Zhang Hongfan also noticed that he laughed out loud, and with a casual move, he volleyed a spear not far away, only pulled a few spears in the air, and then aimed at Zhang Shijie and shouted: "Very good! Then this time, how do you continue to support it?"
This time, he was not as energetic as before, he was no longer young and vigorous before, but he was steady and steady, and he picked up countless gravel and weapons with a spear, and even shot sharp spears by chance, and the cavalry behind him also shot with a bow, and every long arrow pierced the fatal place, forcing Zhang Shijie to fight hard, even if he tried to get close to the other party as before, it was absolutely impossible.
After a few "bang" sounds and a few long arrows were broken, Zhang Shijie knew that if he continued like this, then he would have to be exhausted and die, and he was anxious to abandon the city wall immediately, but he jumped from the top of the city and fell into Pingyang Mansion, trying to rely on the complex terrain in the city to avoid the other party.
However, as soon as he landed, a familiar sound came to his face, and his nose also smelled the familiar smell of gunsmoke, and in the distance, a cavalryman had already raised his hand cannon to aim at him.
"What's going on? When did those Mongol troops break into the city?"
Zhang Shijie was stunned in his heart, only took off his clothes, and under the indoctrination of Zhenyuan, he blocked all the scattered projectiles outside, and then only stepped on the attic next to him, and he had already come to the side of the cavalry.
Since their Red Phoenix Army made firearms, weapons with gunpowder as propulsion began to spread widely, in addition to the Mongolia, even the Southern Song Dynasty also got the specific manufacturing method of firearms because of the arrival of Jiang Wanli, although the performance is far less advanced than the guns in the Red Feng Army, but it is enough to close the gap between warriors and ordinary soldiers to a certain extent.
If Zhang Shijie is not careful, he will also be injured by these firearms.
Raising his head and looking around carefully, Zhang Shijie immediately saw three cavalry horses coming in the distance, these cavalrymen probably because they heard the previous movement, so they rushed to this side, and now they saw Zhang Shijie's existence, and when they saw the hunter's heart, they immediately raised the wrist-thick hand cannon and aimed at the target in front of them.
That Zhang Hongfan had already given an order, if he could kill Zhang Shijie, he would be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver.
Not many people can endure such wealth!
Zhang Shijie was even more annoyed, only stomped his feet on the ground, a shield had been provoked by his left hand buckle, and then got up and ran towards the other party, although there was a fierce hand cannon attack, but it was blocked by the solid iron shield, and before coming to the head of the cavalry, the shield was lifted up completely, and directly hit the hooves of the war horse, "bang" The whole war horse has fallen to the ground, and the cavalry above was also thrown out and half dead.
The remaining two saw that Zhang Shijie was already shocked in front of him, and was about to raise the hand cannon in his hand, but it was not as amazing as Zhang Shijie's fist, and his chest was completely dented in just two clicks.
Zhang Shijie stopped at this time, his forehead was covered with sweat, his cheeks were also red and red, and his breathing became more intense.
This series of actions has consumed too much of his physical strength, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to recover in a short time. However, thinking about the chaos in the city at this time, Zhang Shijie was even more worried, and secretly thought: "Could it be that Pingyang City has really been breached? But where is Wang Yunde? Could it be that he has beenβ" He didn't dare to continue thinking about the following plot, lest he was afraid that the truth would be far more cruel than he had guessed.
After resting for a while, Zhang Shijie was about to get up and leave to look for Wang Yunde, who was missing, but in the afterglow, he swept past the Mongolian cavalry lying on the ground not far away.
The cavalryman who had been thrown out before was not dead, he still had a breath, and now he was struggling to aim his hand cannon at himself, and the black muzzle of the gun was like a black hole, trying to suck his soul into it.
"Bang!"
A gunshot suddenly shocked Zhang Shijie, and after a bloody hole was opened in the forehead of the cavalryman in the distance, he suddenly fell to the ground, and looked at Wang Yunde who was walking from the side, and immediately smiled: "Did you finally appear?" I thought you-"
Wang Yunde looked around, so as not to show up again: "Why?"
"Nothing. Is it just that the city has been lost?" Shaking his head, Zhang Shijie just wanted to know what the battle situation was at the moment.
Wang Yunde immediately showed a sour smile: "That's right." At first, we thought that the other party was the same as before, just feints just to drain our energy. But when I was about to defeat the other party, I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu suddenly sent a large team of soldiers and horses to directly press the border, and I really couldn't support it, so I had to abandon the city and retreat into the city. β
"Is the original form so bad?" Listening carefully, Zhang Shijie only felt weak.
There are less than 4,000 soldiers and horses in Pingyang Prefecture, most of them are not elite soldiers who have been in war for a long time, but just displaced people who have just been trained, and it is a miracle that the 30,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Xiu's command can support them so far.
"Yes. Raising his head, Wang Yunde looked at the surrounding houses and beams with nostalgia, since last year they were ordered to be stationed here for more than a year, and they are naturally very nostalgic for everything here, but now the feeling of powerlessness has always filled their bodies, making them all feel exhausted: "It seems that this Pingyang Mansion can't hold it." β
Clenching his five fingers, Zhang Shijie felt even more annoyed in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said, "That's right." With our troops, we can't hold this Pingyang Mansion at all. So what do you think we should do next? Withdraw?"
"That's all there is to it. β
Wang Yunde's eyes were struggling, and there were even more different colors flashing in the pupils of his eyes, until finally the strong head finally drooped.
With a "bang", Zhang Shijie's fist slammed into the ground, the stone slab cracked, and a drop of blood seeped into the soil, and he only felt that his whole body strength seemed to be completely withdrawn, so he had to sit on the ground in a decadent manner: "Okay." Withdraw!"
The hoarse sound is like the friction of sawdust, and I don't know how much grief and anger seeped into it.
Having made up their minds, the two of them immediately sprang into action, and began to gather the remaining soldiers in the city to prepare to leave. At this time, the Mongol army, under the leadership of Zhang Hongfan, also began to encircle and suppress the soldiers who were resisting in the city, whether it was innocent people, or unarmed poor women and children, or homeless people living in the ruined temple, all of them were driven out to ensure that they could not escape.
The voices of the mournful voices and the words of mourning and anger rose and fell in this city, and finally gradually weakened, and finally there was no more.
"Haven't you completely suppressed the rebellion in the city and found those two people?" With a gloomy face, Zhang Hongfan stared coldly at the few people in front of him.
These thousands of households immediately trembled and replied in a low voice: "Those two people are too strong, with our strength, even if we find them, it will be difficult to trap them." And I don't know what they did, but they were able to gather hundreds of Red Phoenix Army, relying on their familiarity with the terrain in Pingyang City, and constantly attacking our patrol soldiers. So for a while, we can't completely eradicate it. β
"So you brought this waste?" swept over some of the people tied up next to him, Zhang Hongfan shouted a loud scolding.
Those people have no inch on their bodies, and there is a strong smell, they don't know how long they haven't bathed, although they are tied here, they are at a loss, they don't know what happened, that is, the corners of their mouths are left with saliva of unknown meaning, as if they exist like this, they don't know where they came to the homeless.
And these people can also be regarded as the Red Phoenix Army, which is rumored to be famous for its strict military discipline and bravery?
Being drunk by this, the head Qianhu suddenly laughed and was stupid, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "No! It's just that according to the people in the city, there are many homeless people born in the Red Phoenix Army, so I arrested these homeless people and wanted to torture them where those guys were hiding. β
"Why don't you go soon?"
With a posture of wanting to be whipped, Zhang Shijie immediately frightened these people out of this place and continued to search for the existence of the remaining Red Phoenix Army in the city.
Zhang Shijie understood that if he didn't capture and kill those two, he was afraid that the scourge of the Red Phoenix Army would not be eliminated one day, and the Pingyang Mansion would not be completely submissive to Mongolia one day.
Watching a few people leave, Zhang Shijie sighed secretly: "If it weren't for my father being injured by that Meng Heng, he couldn't move in a short time, otherwise how could it take so long?" Thinking about his father's current situation, he was also worried, if he didn't completely seize this Pingyang Mansion and successfully stepped into the land of Jinzhong, then when the Red Phoenix Army reacted and joined forces with the army of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the land of Jinzhong would not belong to the hands of the Mongols at all.
After waiting for about half an hour, a herald came over and said: "I found traces of those two people in Qingxuguan, but the other party's resistance was too stubborn, and I asked the young marshal to go to help in person." β
I didn't expect these two people to be cunning, and they actually hid in this Qingxuguan. Don't they know that the monks don't enter the world?" With a light snort, Zhang Hongfan only lifted his battle robe, and immediately stepped on the war horse to lead thousands of cavalry under his command, and ran towards the Qingxuguan.
The only way to kill the man who betrayed morality could eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Hurry up, the group only walked a cup of tea, and then came to this clear and void view,
Look at this clear and virtual view, the outside is all made of bricks and stones, forming a wall about more than a foot high, and it is painted with red paint on it, which is really magnificent. Passing through it, you will see that in that vast land, several palaces are very tall, several statues in the palace are placed on the table, painted with vermilion color, making it lifelike, as if the gods and Buddhas in the sky have descended in person, and there are more clouds and smoke surrounding, a fragrant breath is blowing in the face, adding a bit of immortal color.
It's just that inside this palace, there is an air of tension.
"That guy is really persistent enough, and he still chases after him?"
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Shijie suddenly frowned, probably shocked by the sound of horses' hooves, and a little dust fell on the beams of the house, spilling on everyone's shoulders.
Wang Yunde also frowned and pondered: "No way." If it weren't for the bastards threatening to slaughter the city, how would we have been exposed? It's just that now there are only more than 300 people left, less than 80 guns left, only 20 tiger squat cannons, and only more than 2,000 bullets. With these weapons alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it for too long. β
When they led the army to garrison Pingyang Province, there were still 1,000 people, and later briefly recruited displaced people to join the army, once reached 3,000 people, but after a battle, now there are less than 300 people left in front of them.
If it weren't for Zhang Shijie and Wang Yunde, who have always been benevolent and generous, and have always been loved by the sergeants and soldiers of the army, if they were replaced by another guy, I am afraid that this army would have completely collapsed.
"In other words, do we have to rush out of here, or will we all be exterminated by each other?"
Obviously, if they continue to hold on to this place, they will have to be cut off from food and water by the other party, and then continue to attack with small groups of men and horses, draining the energy of the army, and eventually they will be reduced to the same as Pingyang Mansion, which will be completely attacked by the other party.
At that time, he and Wang Yunde may be able to rush out with their martial arts, but everyone else will be buried here.
Wang Yunde showed a trace of helplessness and said in a low voice: "That's right, the specific situation is like this." Now, we don't have much time left. Otherwise, if Zhang Hongfan leads the whole army to surround us, we will have to wait for death. (To be continued.) )
