Kou Zhong shouted to Du Fuwei on the hill: Dad, when you are captured in front of the owner of the village, he will talk to you about his concerns. Ha!
Du Fuwei couldn't stop laughing for a long time.
The fortification soldiers and shield soldiers pushing the ladders began to move, followed by wooden chariots that crashed into the city walls and gates.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong exchanged glances and thought that it was strange that Du Fuwei's shrewdness and sophistication did not raise doubts about Fang Zetao's life and death.
Feng Han whispered: The moat has been filled in. The enemy can directly attack the city wall. We can survive tonight and the result is quite good.
Kou Zhongdao: How long will it take to evacuate everyone to the pasture? I only need to leave the most elite soldiers in the village.
Feng Handao: Du Fuwei's purpose is only to capture Jingling and then use it as a base to attack the cities along the Han River from Shuilu Road as a shortcut to march into Luoyang. Now that the moat here has been filled, other armies will be mobilized.
In order to be able to attack the city day and night, the people can leave the city safely at other gates. As long as there are three days, all irrelevant people can evacuate to a safe area.
Kou Zhong said: "Then let's stay for three fucking days to see how powerful Jianghuai's army is."
Feng Han looked troubled and said, "I'm afraid that Qian Yun, who has always been at odds with his uncle, will take this opportunity to seize military power if the morale of the army is unstable."
What's more, I'm afraid that if the news of the village owner's death spreads and everyone has no intention of fighting, then it will be difficult for them to stay for an hour.
Kou Zhong said decisively: People look at high places and low water. Now the only hope for the people of Jingling City is to evacuate to Pegasus Ranch, and only we can guarantee them in this regard, not people like Qian Yun.
Let's fight hard with Lao Du first to increase the confidence of all the soldiers and then we will know the benefits. I don't believe that everyone is so stupid that they are unwilling to unite and fight for their own lives and the lives of their relatives. Hey! How can I give an order?
Feng Han shouted: Where is Feng Qing?
A young man rushed to the three of them, knelt down and saluted and replied: Feng Qing is here!
Feng Handao: This is what my brother Feng Qing, Commander Kou, has to tell him and he can execute it.
When Kou Zhongci was called Commander Kou, he was very excited. When a guard rushed up to the city wall and reported: It's not good! General Qian Yun is coming here with hundreds of soldiers.
Xu Ziling laughed and said: Commander Kou will be responsible for the important task of defending the city. Qian Yun will be handled by me.
Then he took Feng Han with him.
Kou Zhong's eyes returned to the outside of the city. The arrow-blocking chariot was gradually approaching the trebuchet's range.
Feng Qing reminded him: Commander Kou will soon be able to shoot arrows with stone!
Kou Zhong said coldly: Let them get closer to another stone to make the arrow more powerful.
Feng Qing hurriedly blew the horn to signal the soldiers guarding the city not to act rashly.
Kou Zhong shouted: "Follow me!"
Striding along the city wall, Feng Qing and a group of soldiers hurriedly followed behind.
As Kou Zhong walked, he comforted and cheered up the soldiers who were defending the city. Everyone knew that he was very brave. Although he couldn't figure out why he suddenly took Fang Zetao's place, he could see that his eyes were flashing and his figure was straight and majestic as he walked.
The sound of the dragon marching and the tiger trotting revealed a strong fighting spirit and confidence, showing an arrogant and arrogant style. The place aroused waves of salutes and applause everywhere, boosting morale.
After walking nearly half a mile from the city wall, Kou Zhong turned around and walked back and shouted loudly: Listen, the Jingling Army will win and the Jianghuai Army will lose.
All the soldiers followed him and shouted at Xiaohan, covering up all the enemy's shouts of killing.
Feng Qing admired him and said: The owner of the village has never known how to encourage us like the commander-in-chief of Kou. Oh! You can throw rocks and arrows now. Kou Zhong looked at the Jianghuai army calmly and sure enough, his vanguard team had already entered the range of 100 feet and said with a smile: It's okay.
Wait a moment.
Feng Qing also wanted to persuade Kou Zhong to stop and stand still next to a trebuchet.
The enemy continues to advance.
※※※
Qian Yun led three hundred guards who supported him and rushed angrily along the city gate avenue to the main gate.
Now the main force of Jingling City is concentrated here. As long as he can kill Feng Ge, the control will fall into his hands. Then it will not be too late to deal with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Just when I was thinking about it with great joy, I felt strong pressure.
The war horse stumbled and knelt down, throwing the money cloud forward.
When Qian Yun fell to the ground, he looked up and saw Xu Ziling rushing toward him from a nearby building and trying to draw his sword. He screamed with severe pain in his chest and died on the spot.
Xu Ziling fell among the soldiers and jumped up again.
Hundreds of archers rushed out from all around and surrounded the soldiers who came with Qian Yun.
Feng Han held up his military talisman and blocked the way forward, shouting: Those who abandon their weapons will live, those who resist will die.
Xu Ziling fell next to him as majestic as a god.
Seeing that Qian Yun didn't even have a chance to fight back, all the soldiers surrendered and surrendered, knowing that the situation was over. The civil war was thus resolved.
※※※
Kou Zhong picked up a large stone weighing a hundred kilograms and shouted: "Du Fuwei, look at what your arrow-blocking cart looks like."
He shouted again and used all his strength to throw the boulder towards the arrow-blocking cart which was only seventeen feet away from the city wall.
The boulder first rose up by about ten feet and then spun rapidly towards the vertical board of the arrow-blocking cart.
Everyone outside the city and inside the city stared at it, but no one would believe it if the arrow-blocking chariot could be destroyed with a stone like this.
But Kou Zhong did show amazing power and accuracy.
boom!
The boulder hit the vertical board in the middle and smashed the vertical board into pieces.
To everyone's surprise, the arrow-blocking vehicle did not move back, but instead tipped sideways with a slump, crushing more than a dozen people.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The soldiers guarding the city burst into applause.
Knowing that the time was right, Kou Zhong shouted wildly: Throw stones and shoot arrows!
Amidst the shouts, hundreds of trebuchets scattered on the one-mile-long wall threw boulders and countless arrows at the nearly 10,000 attacking enemies. The vehicles were turned upside down and the people were turned over in a tragic manner.
The offensive and defensive battle has begun a new page.
Kou Zhong whispered to Feng Qing: It's done! Now even if they know that your village owner is dead, there will be no problem.
Feng Qing's eyes showed unreserved respect.
※※※
When Xu Ziling rushed back to the top of the wall, Jingling's army crushed the enemy's first wave of offensive, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, more than a dozen broken arrow-blocking carts, building carts, countless bows, arrows and weapons.
The fortification soldiers composed of city citizens constantly transported arrows, rolling oil, etc. to the top of the wall to replenish the consumption just now. The wall was full of soldiers and civilians running back and forth.
The generals obeyed every order given by Kou Zhong without hesitation.
The remaining troops of the Jianghuai Army retreated only after the war drums were blaring. Another group of 5,000 troops began to advance toward the city tower, overwhelming them with tasks.
Xu Ziling came to Kou Zhong and looked outside the city: Qian Yun has been solved!
But Kou Zhong pointed to the hundreds of catapults that were moving towards the city wall as if he hadn't heard them: These stupid guys are very powerful. They just collapsed several of our walls and killed hundreds of people. If this continues, we may not be able to survive. Tomorrow, what can you do?
Xu Ziling thought for a while and said: How about I take people out to kill for a while.
Kou Zhong frowned and said: "What effect will that have? If someone cuts off the escape route, I'm afraid no one can come back alive except you. Besides, these stupid things can't be easily destroyed."
Xu Ziling said: As long as we control the time well, one group of people will be responsible for killing and dispersing the enemy. Another group of people will be responsible for pouring kerosene on these building vehicles, arrow-blocking vehicles, and catapults, while the people on the wall will be responsible for shooting rockets to ensure that the enemy will survive. Dad could only stare.
Kou Zhong slapped the wall and exclaimed, and then he ordered five thousand elite soldiers to be dispatched by Xu Ziling to prepare at the city gate.
boom!
The broken stone splashed and a big stone fell on the wall next to Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong shouted: Shoot the arrow!
Thousands of powerful arrows were fired from the arrow pile on the wall and shot towards the swarming enemies.
Two trucks came straight towards me.
Before the car arrived, more than ten people had already jumped up and glided over.
Kou Zhong knew that the opponent's master was coming. Fortunately, he could not see his father. Du Fuwei shouted and jumped up on the wall. Jing Zhongyue turned into a sharp light and swept towards the incoming enemy.
The two of them threw their knives away.
Kou Zhongjing Zhongyue slashed out the other two enemies who stepped on the wall and immediately fell down the city wall with blood spattered on them.
However, seven enemies still successfully scaled the city wall and killed the defenders, knocking them off their feet.
Kou Zhong dodged like a fish to the side of Feng Qing, who was fighting with the enemy. Jing Zhongyue struck like lightning towards the short, tall man who was slashing at Feng Qing with his two axes.
The spiral rises.
when!
The moon in the well broke into the space between the two axes and then retracted.
When the short man's two axes fell to the ground and there were blood marks on his forehead, Kou Zhongjing Zhongyue slashed at another enemy who was swinging the knife.
With a ding sound, the man's broadsword was cut off by the moon in the well, as if it was shattered to pieces. Kou Zhong stepped back in shock and kicked the man out of the city with a flying kick.
When Koo Zhong threw himself into the middle of three other enemies, the short man's body had just touched the ground, which showed how fast he moved.
All the city defenders were in high spirits and drew out their swords and spears to force the remaining five enemies into the corner.
Kou Zhong was so strong that he killed the enemy with his sword and sword, as if he was dying with the enemy. Blood spattered on him, and the remaining two people saw that the situation was not right, so they jumped off the wall and ran away.
Kou Zhong jumped on the wall, raised his sword and shouted wildly: The Jingling Army must win! The Jianghuai Army must be defeated!
All the soldiers responded in unison and the sky shook.
Kou Zhong shouted: Kaicheng!
※※※
When the suspension bridge was lowered, Xu Ziling led three thousand soldiers and rode out, killing everyone on sight.
When the enemy's siege troops thought that Jingling City would open the city, they broke into chaos and fled.
Another 2,000 people held keels filled with kerosene, poured kerosene on the enemy's siege chariots, and quickly set fire to it to add to the momentum.
Kou Zhong looked at the fires everywhere under the city, but in his heart he was as cold as ice, carefully observing the situation between the enemy and ourselves.
The war drums sound.
The cavalry teams on both wings of the Jianghuai Army came from the left and right to come for reinforcements, and the sound of their hooves shook the sky.
Kou Zhongzhuo stood on the top of the wall and looked like a god raising his sword and shouting: Retreat the army!
Feng Qing was busy ringing the gong and blowing the horn.
Xu Ziling dispersed a group of nearly a thousand enemy shield chariots and marched back into the city.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the wall, causing the opponent's cavalry to fall to the ground row after row, unable to advance even an inch.
boom!
The suspension bridge is closed.
No longer waiting for Kou Zhong to order the soldiers and civilians on the city wall to shout in unison that the Jingling Army must win! The Jianghuai Army must be defeated!
Thunderous cheers.
When Kou Zhong saw that at least half of the opponent's siege vehicles, arrow-blocking vehicles and catapults were trapped in the sea of fire, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: How can we survive these three days while taking shifts and rest?
Feng Qing and others were convinced by him and agreed unanimously.
※※※
boom!
The hammer hit the city gate like an angry dragon, making a deafening sound.
The enemy suddenly launched another violent attack.
Xu Ziling, who was sleeping extremely tiredly in a corner of the wall, woke up and opened his eyes to see that the wall that was intact before going to bed revealed a collapsed gap. Outside the city, there were torches all over the mountains and fields, and his ears were filled with the sounds of killing and the sound of trebuchets. The screeching sound of wheels scraping against the ground, the booming sound of rocks hitting the ground or wall.
Wow!
Xu Ziling didn't need to look to know that the sound was the sound of hot oil being poured under the city wall.
Xu Ziling stood up, swung his left hand, caught a cold arrow that came from nowhere, and walked along the wall towards the main city gate.
The soldiers and civilians defending the city were running back and forth to fight against the enemy. Their eyes were bloodshot and their minds seemed to have only one simple purpose: to block and kill the invading enemy by any means.
There was a corpse lying on the wall, and the bright red blood kept adding to the blackened bloodstains, but no one had time to pay attention to it.
The sky was filled with dense clouds, stars and moon were without light.
The fire on the wall dyed Xianlian Gao's face blood red, and what he saw before his eyes was like a hell on earth.
If I remember correctly, this is the eighth day after the Jianghuai Army launched a large-scale attack on the city.
The enemy's forces continued to increase and they staged feint attacks on other city gates to disperse their forces.
He and Kou Zhong directed this fierce battle to protect the city without sleep until they couldn't support it anymore and just took a break for a while. Unexpectedly, they fell asleep all of a sudden.
The war drums suddenly sounded and he couldn't tell where they came from.
boom!
This time there was another sound of wood hitting the city wall, and the feet seemed to be shaking.
boom!
A building cart was pushed forward and rolled over. The Jianghuai Army on top of it fell to the ground outside the city. No one knew how many people were injured by the fall.
He finally saw Kou Zhong.
This good brother stood tall and proud on the wall, looking down at the situation outside the city. He constantly sent out various orders through messengers, commanding with a commanding air.
His body was covered in blood, and I'm afraid even he couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or the blood from the enemy.
Arrows were flying like a rain.
Xu Ziling came to Kou Zhong's side and Kou Zhong looked at him with red veins in his eyes and pulled him aside and said: If it's too bad this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight.
Pointing to the distance, he said: There is a gap in the city wall over there, and we have to block it with sand and stones. Many brothers have been sacrificed. I think my father is about to take action himself.
Xu Ziling frowned and said: Haven't all the women and children left the city? Why haven't we evacuated yet?
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "There are still so many soldiers in the city. Can you just leave if you want to? Don't look at it. Everyone is desperate for their own safety. They only need to retreat and give orders to protect them. They are scrambling to escape and become a mess. What's more, we have formed an alliance with the Jianghuai Army."
It's a bloody feud. Under their pursuit of victory, we only have a chance of annihilating the whole army. Now it's just a matter of competition to see who can't stand it! It seems that most of us can't stand it!
Xu Ziling looked around at the Jingling soldiers and civilians guarding the city. They had become exhausted under the opponent's fierce day and night offensive. If the enemy broke through the gap and entered the city, the enemy would definitely kill everyone on sight because of the deep hatred between the two sides. In this case,
With the characters of myself and Kou Zhong, we couldn't do anything but run away from them. In the end, they would die together heroically. That's what Kou Zhong said.
Kou Zhong leaned into his ear again and whispered: Is this fate destined? The first time I became commander-in-chief, I was doomed. Ha...
Oh...then I can’t cough anymore.
Xu Ziling helped him rub his back and said, "Are you injured internally?"
Kou Zhong said harshly: Several more masters came just now and punched one of them, Lengzi, but I cut off his head.
At this time, someone hurriedly came to report that Du Fuwei's main army had moved.
The two of them groaned in their hearts and bravely climbed up to the sentry tower. Feng Han was there, and Feng Qing was there. Everyone looked solemn, as if they had foreseen the coming of the end.
The attackers all moved back to allow the new force to launch a new wave of powerful offensive.
The fields outside the city wall were littered with corpses, as if telling the story of the brutal siege that had lasted eight days and nights.
The vast urban wilderness is filled with endless firelight.
The sound of war drums and trumpets, the sound of horse hooves and chariot wheels, resounded throughout the world.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Kou Zhong smiled bitterly to himself. It was only today that he realized how difficult it was for the commander-in-chief to do so easily.
Xu Ziling accompanied him to the missing corner of the outer wall. Feng Han said in a deep voice: Du Fuwei is now concentrating all his military forces here and estimates the strength to be 80,000. But now our total number is only 10,000. In the human world, the enemy has attacked us with eight times the strength. With the situation in front of us, it will be difficult for us to survive tonight.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up in the sentry tower, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.
Kou Zhong looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds moving quickly and said slowly: If God makes a beautiful rain and it rains heavily, which party will benefit?
At the same time, everyone imitated him and stared at the night sky.
Feng Handao: Then we will be saved!
Before he could finish his words, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, making everyone's eyes open as if they were blind. Then another roar of thunder covered up all the sounds on the battlefield.
The heavy rain that hit my head turned from sparse to dense and turned into a downpour in a moment. Tens of thousands of torches were extinguished one by one. Kou Zhong looked up to the sky and smiled and said: Thank God because you, the old man, have not killed me yet, Kou Zhong, as long as I can escape Du Fu Wei Wei's personal pursuit will one day return Jingling to me, Kou Zhong!
Then he shouted: "We have lost this battle. We must retreat in batches immediately. Master Xu and I will stay behind and fight to the death to protect you and leave safely."
When all the generals saw the righteousness between the two, they were all excited.
Xu Ziling shouted coldly: Who can be sure to pick up Du Fuwei's sleeves before leaving?
All the generals knelt down and bowed three times before accepting the order.
Under the thunderstorm, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's clothes were soaked but they still looked at each other with endless laughter and heroic spirit.
