Chapter 800: Sunrise in the East (25)
The Liaoning Guards, above and below the city, were shouting for death deafeningly, and the fields were filled with corpses. No matter it was the Eastern Expeditionary Army or the Donghu people, they had no time to collect the bodies of their comrades. By this time, both sides were completely red-eyed from the fight. Groups of people rushed to the top of the city, and groups fell down. The green city wall inlaid with green bricks in Liaoning Province has turned red. From time to time, streams of blood flowed down the city wall like spring water.
He Dayou's other good leg was also broken, and he could only sit on the ground, but he still held a spear in his hand. Whenever he saw the shadow of a Donghu man emerging, he would poke it randomly. These days, death There are eight, if not ten, Donghu people under his command. If he kills one or two more before he dies, he will really make a fortune.
Xiao Qizi died in battle yesterday. A palace guard who rushed up to the city stabbed him in the stomach. However, Xiao Qizi was not hesitant. His stomach was broken and his intestines were broken. He even jumped up and hugged the palace guard. Biting his throat out in one bite, Xiao Qizi was the young man who clamored before the war to kill ten Donghu people, earn dozens of acres of Yongye land, and marry an aunt.
When He Dayou stroked his big round eyes, what he saw in his eyes was full of regret. In the end, Xiao Qizi only fucked five of them. He Dayou asked the military judge in the city to kill him. His military exploits were transferred to the name of Xiao Qizi. Even if he died, He Dayou felt that he had the obligation to fulfill this wish for him. The new aunt would not be able to marry him, so he would ask his wife to burn it for him. A woman tied with paper, right?
He Dayou felt that he would definitely not survive. The Donghu people were going crazy and the number of soldiers in the city had become less and less. According to his experience, the casualties would be at least half. If it was a field battle, they would have no fighting power. But now relying on the city wall, they can still struggle to support themselves.
When will the reinforcements arrive?
Meng Chong dragged his sword and walked along the city wall. Seeing He Dayou lying in a pool of blood, he waved his hand and asked a personal guard to drag him down. "He Dayou, you old dog has a long life!" Meng Chong laughed, "I was far away before, but when you suddenly disappeared, I thought you were killed!"
"These donghu dogs are a little bit worse than trying to kill me. If I die, I must have accidentally slipped on my head due to blood and fell to death. Commander, don't drag me down. I'm just sitting on the ground. How many more shots can I take?" The two guards held He Dayou and dragged him back. He Dayou grinned in pain, but still refused to go on like this.
"Go and have a rest first, and at least bandage the wound. After this battle, if both legs are broken, what will you do? I heard that your Hun woman is young and beautiful!" Meng Chong waved his hand.
"If two legs are broken, I'm afraid of a ball. As long as the third leg is still strong, it will be fine!" He Dayou struggled for a few times and found that it was in vain, so he allowed the two guards to drag him to the corner.
Meng Chong walked to the city wall and leaned against it. Looking at the Donghu people retreating again, a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths,
In his estimation, the reinforcements should be arriving at Yuwenke soon. You suffered a loss in the Hetao and want to get it back with us. This time, I will let you crawl away with your tail between your legs again.
Under the city, Yuwen Ke bit his lip tightly. Wrinkles on forehead, these days. There seemed to be suddenly a lot more people, just like Meng Chong in the city. He also looked extremely haggard. In the past two days of attack, several generals took turns to attack the city. However, the Eastern Expedition Army's tenacity was astonishing, and they were driven off the city again and again. Each time, Liaoning Weidu seems to be within easy reach, but always misses it.
Many times, Yu Wenke felt that the Liaoning Guard was about to change hands, but the next moment, it was always his own troops who were defeated.
Wuluo ran up to Yuwen Ke with blood all over his body and said with a cry: "General Yuwen, the palace guards cannot be used like this. They are not used to attack the city. They should kill the enemy on horseback, not attack the fortress." If we continue to fight like this, there will be nothing left of the palace guards I brought."
Yu Wenke stared at the general of the Palace Guards and said coldly: "Who said that the Palace Guards can only be used for horse fighting? You are the spirit of Donghu and the undefeated myth. Whether it is a field battle or a fortress attack, you They should be regarded as role models for Donghu soldiers. In the past few days, other Donghu troops have suffered several times more damage than you, but they can't use it like this. Hey, how should I use it? Ask me. Go to the Eastern Expeditionary Army and ask them to come out and fight with you. Will they be willing? A good soldier never chooses, but just marches forward bravely until he kills the enemy."
Wu Luo lowered his head and was speechless. Most of the three thousand palace guards he brought had been destroyed so far, with only more than 1,400 people left. However, in the tough battle, the combat effectiveness of the palace guards was indeed higher. With the help of other troops, every time the Donghu army attacked the city, they were led by the palace guards. Because of this, the losses of the palace guards also increased. Those who attacked the city first wanted to withdraw. It's basically a delusion, and he'll probably be cut into pieces by the enemies on top of the city.
"Wuluo, prepare for the next attack. If we fail, no matter whether the Eastern Expeditionary Army goes to Yulin to attack the king or directly attacks Helin, our Donghu's luck will be at an end. If we die, we will all die here!" Yu Wenke shouted loudly: "You, me, and you, even if we die, we will die under the Liaoning Guards."
Listening to Yu Wenke's categorical and decisive words, all the generals were awe-inspiring.
Uluo turned around and walked away, waving his scimitar in his hand and shouting hoarsely: "Kill, kill them all, break into the Liaoning Guard, and massacre the Eastern Expeditionary Army."
The sound of war drums sounded, and the Donghu people began to organize another attack. On top of the city, the defenders who heard the drums stood up one by one and rushed to the top of the city.
"General, General Yuwen!" A fast horse approached from far away. Seeing the anxious face of the rider on the horse, Yuwen Ke's heart skipped a beat, and a premonition of silence arose spontaneously.
The knight dismounted and hurriedly walked up to Yu Wenke, "General, the scouts have come to report that the reinforcements of the Eastern Army are only fifty miles away from the Liaoning Guard. They are the troops of the Eastern Group Army in Panshan. Division Commander Fei Qian is leading his troops. More than 5,000 people have already rushed here."
Hearing the knight's words, the generals around Yuwen Ke suddenly took a breath.
Yu Wenke's face turned pale. The reinforcements from the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived a full day earlier than he expected. "Gao Che, lead your troops to intercept them. No matter how much it costs, you must stop this reinforcements for another day. One day With our efforts, we will definitely take down the Liaoning Guard." Yu Wenke was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind. This is a battle related to the fate of Donghu. Even if he bets the entire army, he will take another gamble and use his own wealth and life. , with the tens of thousands of soldiers here
"General Yuwen" Kirgiz hesitated for a moment, "Since the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, I'm afraid there are more than one. If the Eastern Expedition Army mobilizes more troops, we're afraid we have no chance of victory. We might as well retreat. Where there is life, there is hope"
"Where are the green hills?" Yu Wenke said harshly: "Where should we retreat? Should we go back to Helin or to Yulin? If we can't capture the Liaoning Guard, the Eastern Expeditionary Army will be able to march straight in. We will be chased like wild dogs. We have driven out He Lin and lost our last chance to attack. If we attack and cannot capture the Liaoning guards, I will take your heads first and then attack the city myself!" Yu Wenke pulled out his sword and struck the air.
"The fate of Donghu lies in one fell swoop. One day, no, half a day. Gao Che, you block them for half a day." Yu Wenke turned over and dismounted, "Kirgiz, you come to guard the formation, I will attack the city myself."
"General Yuwen!" Kirgiz was surprised
"Needless to say, it's a long ride in a high car."
"Understood, General Yuwen!" Gao Che nodded, turned and left. A moment later, thousands of cavalry left the Liaoning Guard and ran towards the distance.
On top of the city, Meng Chong was overjoyed as he watched this scene. There was only one possibility for the enemy to disperse their forces at this time, and that was that reinforcements had arrived.
"Brothers, our reinforcements are coming. Look, the Donghu people have divided their forces. They want to intercept our reinforcements. Come on, beat the drums, blow the bugles, and sing war songs. The enemy is going crazy for the last time. Withstand this last wave of attacks, victory will always belong to the Marching Army!" Meng Chong raised his arms and shouted: "The Marching Army will be victorious!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
All the soldiers in the city, as long as they could open their mouths, screamed crazily. He Dayou, who was thrown into the corner, screamed and beat the wall hard.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, reinforcements are finally here
Hearing the sound of the mighty military song on the city, Gaocha, who had led his troops far away, turned around and glanced at the Liaoning Guard with a complicated expression. At this moment, the city seemed to become more important in his eyes. Out of reach
Fei Qian was extremely anxious. After receiving the news that the Liaoning Guards had been attacked and He Lanxiong was in danger, he immediately led his troops to abandon all their belongings, taking only the necessary weapons and dry food with them, and rushed out of the winding mountains. But what was hateful was that , the winding mountain roads are winding and there are many high mountains and ridges. The Zhengdong Mansion has only taken over for a short period of time, and even a decent road has not been built. Even if they want to go fast, they can't get up fast. The soldiers can only rely on their two legs to turn over. Ridge, day and night, to be honest, after running all the way to now, even Fei Qian is beating drums in his heart to see how much combat power the army has left.
But the energy can be pumped up but not vented. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to rest. Once you stop to rest, the energy you are holding in your heart will be released. It will not be relieved without a day or two.
Even if his own unit is lost, he can still buy enough time for the Liaoning Guard. Behind him, more troops are rushing towards him. Tang Yibiao of Yan Haibo's army is only a day's journey away from him. One day, his own Can't five thousand people still carry it?
Fei Qian was prepared for the enemy to intercept him and start a bloody battle (to be continued)
