Jun Jiuling - Chapter 546
[Chapter 182 He Will Break the Sun]
Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
Li Xianlin was stunned for a moment before he remembered that yesterday, at the most dangerous time, the civilians also climbed the city wall, using stones and hot oil stakes to prevent the golden soldiers from climbing the city. Almost all the unarmed civilians died on the city wall.
And the young and middle-aged people in the city are all holding swords and guns on the city wall today.
“Only women can come to be the people’s husband.” Another general said in a low voice.
Li Xianlin was silent for a moment and did not speak. He walked past the dead and wounded soldiers and looked outside the city. The golden soldiers outside the city were gathering and retreating. The previous siege had left them dead and injured, and the damaged cloud ladder in the north had to be repaired.
There are only a few hundred golden soldiers under these cities, and they are all wounded, so there is nothing to fear.
What Li Xianlin wanted to care about was farther, he raised his eyes and looked forward.
The terrain of Xiongzhou City is flat and wide, and you can see it far away at a glance. Just two miles northwest of the city, you can see the camp of the Jinmen. More.
In the past few days, the troops and horses there have been constantly taking turns to attack Xiongzhou City.
“If reinforcements come, I’m afraid it will be easier to go from the south.” Li Xianlin said suddenly.
This made the generals behind him look gloomy.
“There will be no reinforcements coming,” a general murmured.
They have been holding on for seven days. If there were reinforcements, they would have come a long time ago, but now they are only seeing more and more golden soldiers gathering, but not a single reinforcement.
“The sentry said that the golden thieves were divided into three groups, and other places were too busy to take care of themselves. Either there were no extra troops, or they were blocked on the way.” Another general said in a low voice.
A few generals at the top of the city were silent for a moment.
Xiongzhou City has no meaning to rescue, it is better to stick to the next city.
As generals, they themselves understand this truth, and if they were generals elsewhere, they would also make such a decision.
Li Xianlin moved his cheeks and clenched the knife in his hand.
“There will be reinforcements,” he said. “Everyone, cheer up and take a rest. I guess the golden thieves will attack the city again at night.”
He turned around.
“I’m going to tell Tong Zhifu that another batch of Ding Zhuang will go to the city.”
After saying that, he strode down the city wall, and the officers looked at his back and felt extremely tragic.
And the city is also full of mourning.
According to the previous order, the people under the rule have all fled to the fortified city. At this time, the streets are full of people sleeping, and the rich and wealthy merchants have already let go of the rice and grain in their homes. My, the city can keep everyone alive, but if the city is broken, everyone is a corpse.
“Do you know what it will be like after the city is broken?” An old man muttered while sitting on the ground with a dull expression.
No one answered him, and it wasn’t a pleasant topic.
“I remember when Jin Bing entered the country more than ten years ago, the city next door to us was destroyed, and the entire county town was killed, not counting the killing. It was stuffed into a well, hung on a tree, and set on fire…” The old man didn’t mind that no one asked, he continued to talk on his own, his eyes were already a little crazy.
This is the madness brought about by fear and despair, and it will spread like weeds and drown people’s sanity.
“Our city will not be broken.”
A steady voice fell above his head.
The people raised their heads in a hurry, and saw a thin middle-aged man standing over at some point. Even though the street was in a mess, his official robes and hats were clean and dignified.
This is Tong Jie, the prefect of Xiongzhou.
“Lord Prefect.” The people were busy offering salutes.
“Our Xiongzhou City will not be destroyed. Li Jianjun led the army to resist the enemy, and reinforcements are coming soon.” Tong Zhifu said, “It’s just that we have to work together to overcome the difficulties.” The
previously crazy old man also gradually clam down.
“Yes, according to the instructions of the adults.” He shouted among the crowd.
The officers stepped forward and divided these old and weak women and children into three groups according to the arrangement of the prefect, taking care of the wounded and carrying dead bodies from the city wall.
Seeing the busy people running around on the street, Tong Zhifu’s eyes flashed with sadness.
“How long can I carry it?” He turned to look at Li Xianlin who was approaching and asked in a low voice.
Li Xianlin’s cheeks moved again.
“Tonight at most,” he said. “Golden soldiers have increased again.”
So fast!
Seven days of perseverance and three days of fierce battle at the city head, there are not many defenders here in Xiongzhou, but the golden soldiers are still flowing.
Relying on these old, weak, sick and disabled?
Isn’t that the end, Tong Zhifu’s figure seemed to shake.
“Reinforcement…” he said.
“Reinforcements will come.” Li Xianlin interrupted him, his voice a little hurried.
Tong Zhifu looked at him for a moment.
“Li Jianjun, I don’t want to ask about the reinforcements.” He said, “I just want to ask, why are there only a thousand of you guarding Xiongzhou
City? What about the other Guangxin troops?”
Disappointed.
Yes, why is it so difficult for them to defend the city, because the Guangxin army who should have come all of a sudden disappeared 2,000 people. I thought they went to other fortresses, but if it was a nearby fortress, it was impossible not to. To rescue, the sentry also probed back, saying that the Guangxin Army had retreated.
how can that be possible?
What went wrong?
“I don’t know,” he murmured.
The whimpering horn sounded suddenly, which made the two people who spoke shivered violently, and then it was the shock of the gathering of horse hooves from under their feet.
“The golden thieves have attacked the city.” Tong Zhifu said, his face pale, “It’s not long since the end.”
“It seems that they are going to take Xiongzhou City before dark.” Li Xianlin said.
“What should I do?” Tong Zhifu blurted out.
Li Xianlin pulled out his waist knife.
“What can I do.” He shouted sharply, “Draw the sword, draw the bow, and die.”
………………………………..
Once again on the city wall, the blood-like setting sun has not disappeared, and the city wall is illuminated. The top was as red as blood, and Li Xianlin’s face was also bright red. Looking at the golden soldiers rolling down from the city, the wolf-headed banners were overwhelming, and there were thousands of people at a glance.
This is the golden soldiers who took turns to fight from the big camp over there. They have enough to eat, drink and rest, just like a hungry tiger who is bound to come down the mountain.
Li Xianlin turned his head to look at the soldiers standing by on the city wall. At this time, he couldn’t even say that they were soldiers. The remaining soldiers and the men who could be assembled in the city were all at a loss, and many of them didn’t even hold their swords and guns correctly.
This is total death.
Die or die, after all, you have to die, and it is better to die in battle than to be captured and killed.
“Let’s think about the wives and children behind you.” Li Xianlin said with a decidedly tragic look in his eyes. Looking back at the palace city, “If they can hold on for a moment, they will be able to live for a moment longer, as long as they wait for the reinforcements to arrive…” The
reinforcements
were surrounded by generals.
The official’s expression was numb.
Will there be reinforcements?
“Back, back…”
A voice suddenly sounded.
What is back?
Li Xianlin looked at the man, the general looked stunned, and pointed to the outside of the city.
“Jin Bing, retreat.” He said, his voice was full of doubts, as if he didn’t believe what he said.
how is this possible?
Li Xianlin hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, the golden soldiers who had come to attack the city suddenly receded like a tide.
What happened?
There was a sound of war drums in the distance, like galloping horses, beating on everyone’s heart.
At the same time a flag appeared in the sky.
First one side, then two sides and three sides, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is densely packed, and under the flag is a dense forest of long spears.
In this patch of flags and spears, a big flag gradually appeared. Unlike the bright red flags, this big flag was black and had big red characters written on it.
The black flag and the red characters merged with the setting sun falling on the horizon. As the flagpole got higher and higher, it was like picking up the sunset again, and the whole earth became brighter.
“Mr. Chengguo…” Li Xianlin murmured, as if he saw a mighty tall figure sitting under the banner.
Cheng Guo Gong.
No matter how far he is, he can recognize it, no one can’t recognize it, it is Duke Cheng.
He was fried like a fish thrown into a frying pan, and rushed over to support the city wall.
“The Duke of Cheng is here!” The
Duke of Cheng is here!
Duke Cheng is here!
