Blood sprayed, spears collided, and the mud dam in the distance blocked the water flow, preventing the water from becoming an obstacle, turning the open space outside the West City Gate into a meat grinder.
The skinny soldiers fought fiercely against each other. The cavalrymen were knocked off their horses and rolled into the muddy water. They were then hacked to death with random swords.
The soldier helped his companion to deal with the enemy beside him, but before he could turn around, another spear pierced his chest.
Raw strength and flexibility of the limbs became the simplest means of attack and defense. Everyone was covered in blood and their eyes were red with blood. They only knew that they had to kill, block the spears and blades that were stabbing them, and use their own hands to kill them.
The cold weapons pierce or cut open the opponent's body.
In the previous attacks on Wanshan Pass, Zhao Zuo had never taken action personally. Now he was charging into the ranks of the vanguard camp, slashing with his broadsword, leaving pieces of flesh and blood everywhere.
The most elite soldiers of the other side were here. Everyone surrounded the vanguard battalion where Zhao was located and launched a ferocious attack.
Everyone understood that as long as Zhao Zuo fell, the outcome of this battle would be decided.
The place where Zhao Yao slashed past was where Lin Yao was.
The rebels on both sides tried to outflank him several times, but all failed. Even if they pushed the hook and hit the car forcefully, they could not push it far except leaving a few fresh corpses on the nail board.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The soldiers shouted loudly in the distance.
Everyone hurriedly made way for them.
Six soldiers rushed forward pushing a heavy cart. There were twelve sharp spears on the front of the cart, and they rushed towards the flesh and blood of the enemy. Any companions who did not run in time would also be killed.
Stabbed to death.
There were also carts that hit each other's hooks and collided with the carts. The impact was loud, and then another fight broke out.
The rebels' morale was high, their ambitions were high, they were full of anger, and they were full of strength.
The defenders are well-trained and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Years of war have given them too much sophisticated combat experience.
The two sides are fighting inextricably, refusing to give in to each other, but for the side that wants to attack the city, failure to advance means failure.
Lin Yaojia sent men, and the city must be breached at the death order.
The soldiers' roars grew louder and louder, deafening.
When He Chuanjiang heard that Shen Lie was coming, he ran down from the city wall with great joy: "Mr. Shen!"
"What military advisor are you?" Shen Lie asked.
"It's He!" He Chuanjiang said happily, "How is the situation with Minister Jiang?"
"We'll be there at Yin time." Shen Lie replied.
If it weren't for the baggage left by Li Xiao blocking the middle of the road, maybe it would have arrived earlier.
"That's great!" He Chuanjiang was overjoyed and shouted again, "That's great!"
After many days of despair, hope finally came, and the roars outside the city were ringing in his ears. He Chuanjiang, who had always been self-sufficient, felt tears welling up in his eyes at this moment.
He Chuanjiang turned around and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brothers! Our food is here! Our clothes and medicine are also here! They are all big fish and meat! We have something to eat!"
The soldiers with serious and lifeless expressions stopped their movements and steps one after another, turned their heads and looked towards He Chuanjiang, with bright lights flashing in their eyes.
"We have food! We will also get big rewards! Everyone can live a good life! My parents at home can also live a good life!" He Chuanjiang shouted again, his voice was high and loud, and then he looked at Shen Lie
, "This Mr. Shen is from outside the city, and his grandfather is Zuilu Guoshu who prepared the relief materials for this disaster!"
Everyone's eyes then turned to the young man beside He Chuanjiang.
The young man is well-dressed, well-dressed and clean, with extremely handsome eyebrows and fair skin. From his demeanor and description, you can tell that he is definitely a young master raised in a wealthy family.
The young man cupped his fists and said, "I came here under the orders of my grandfather. A few days ago, the roads were blocked, so it was difficult to transport the necessary supplies. Now we have found an ancient road, and the luggage is almost here. Finally, we have found an ancient road." Chi Yinshi!"
Someone in the crowd who didn't know who it was suddenly cheered loudly, and his mood was suddenly aroused. The people around him also cheered loudly, one after another.
Loud cheers spread from the city, and the great excitement ignited the bloody and cold blood on the battlefield.
The news was spread by word of mouth and reached the front line all of a sudden. Those soldiers who were eager to eat seemed to have forgotten their hunger and fought with more ferocity.
Zhao Ming was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "You have to live! You can eat only if you live! Stay alive!"
"Alive!" Tao Yinhe repeated loudly from the side.
"Stay alive!!" The soldiers roared in unison, their morale high.
The city was also under attack outside the South City Gate at this time, and was defended by Zhu Pei. Although the scale of the battle outside the city was small, the fighting was equally fierce and fierce.
After He Chuanjiang sent someone to deliver the news, Zhu Pei was ecstatic, and then led his guards and personally committed suicide outside the city.
The long wind blowing from the south brought with it a faint stench in the desolation. The soldiers who sneaked into the city were forced out by Zhu Pei. After escaping, they accidentally ran into the huge puddle over there, with corpses floating on it, and the rotting corpses. People are nauseated.
Zhu Pei pursued relentlessly, and the deserters had no way to retreat. More than 2,000 people were forced to the edge of the waterhole.
Some people dropped their weapons and gasped and knelt down to surrender.
Some people were unwilling to give up, took a deep breath, jumped into the water and swam away under the cover of night.
The guards came back and reported to Zhu Pei the number of people who had surrendered. Zhu Pei smiled coldly: "Kill them all."
The guard was stunned, frowned and said, "Are these surrendered soldiers going to be killed?"
"We don't have enough food, so why raise these wastes?" Zhu Pei asked, "Kill them all and leave no one behind."
The guard hesitated a little and said uneasily: "But we have to wait for the general's order. If we kill the surrendered soldiers privately, it would be too..."
"Otherwise, you still want to take it back?" Zhu Pei said unhappily, "There is a ready-made burial place here, wouldn't it be just right? If you don't tell me, if I don't tell, how could the general know about it? Also, my Do I need to explain the order to you more? And when will it be your turn to point fingers at me?"
Konoe could only nod: "Yes!"
The guards returned to the front, and then, except for those who escaped secretly, the remaining two thousand people all turned into corpses.
Zhu Pei nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his gaze, reined in his horse and turned around.
At this time, several large city gates on the east side were finally opened in the night.
The guards guarding the city were overjoyed and looked at the vast army outside the city.
Under the light of the fire, there were piles of supplies.
Jiang Pingsheng sat in the carriage. After the carriage stopped, he opened the curtain and walked out.
Jiang Pingsheng raised his head and looked at the towering city gate, clasping his hands behind his back, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell completely.
