In fact, the people below have been coming up for a long time, but Li Renxuan did not dare to let them come up. First of all, these people have not received any training. They are just a group of ordinary people. After coming up, they do not even know the simplest dodge. What if they are scared?
Peeing your pants might be a problem.
Secondly, these people are the last hope. All the people in the city have fled, leaving only these two thousand people. If they all die on this city wall, they will be the backbone of more than two thousand families.
"Call them all up and tell them to take cover. Don't give them muskets. Let them use bows, arrows and stones."
It's not that Li Renxuan treated these people differently and didn't give these civilians guns, it's just that the probability of these old-fashioned muskets exploding was too high, and if veterans handled them properly, there was still a one-tenth chance of exploding the barrels.
If it were these new soldiers, I don't know what the percentage would be. Maybe the number of people killed would not be as many as the casualties.
Woo woo woo…
The horns of the Huns were blown in the distance, which was also a prelude to their attack. Whenever such horns were blown, the rocks in the sky would almost fall down.
"Pay attention to concealment."
Li Renxuan asked his soldiers to hide quickly. These stones weighed hundreds of kilograms. If they hit him, they would be shattered into pieces.
Fortunately, the city wall is relatively strong, otherwise it would collapse if stones like this were hit on it.
There were originally cannons on the city wall, but due to the lack of cannonballs, they have now been turned into decorations.
It was all due to the incompetence of those people in the imperial court. They had already told them that there was a shortage of artillery shells here, but those people did not know where they had diverted the military funds, so they did not purchase artillery shells at all. When the war came, these logistics officials first
He ran away for a while, not caring about the life or death of the soldiers on the city wall.
Wei Tianhua’s brother-in-law...
That guy is in charge of logistics in Xuanning City. The whole family is fat and fat. People in the army know that they are greedy for money without even asking.
If I saw that guy now, I would kill him alive, but I no longer had time to think about that. After the stone attack, there were more than a hundred martyrs on the city wall.
Originally, if we had artillery shells, we could use artillery to attack the Huns from above at this time, but now we can only stare and watch, nothing can attack the Huns.
Such hatred in the hearts of the soldiers!
The artillery was right next to it, but it couldn't fire. Many soldiers' nails almost dug into their flesh.
"Everyone, be energetic. They are about to attack the city. We brothers don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day. We will fight these Huns together today."
Li Renxuan thought of his beloved wife and young son in his hometown, but it was a pity that he could no longer go back. Ten years ago, he passed the imperial examination, but because no one in the court could speak for him, he worked diligently for ten years.
Years ago, now he is just a deputy general.
Among all the Great Wall defenders, these brothers under my command are considered to have relatively strong combat effectiveness. At least no one smokes heavy cigarettes, so they still maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness.
Many people have run out of ammunition and are holding large blades in their hands. In this day and age, they can only fight hand-to-hand.
Woo woo woo…
The second round of the Huns' attack has begun. More stones are on the city wall. It is very difficult for everyone to hide. It would be great if we also have weapons to fight back.
Ladder...
Li Renxuan remembered the last battle. The Huns erected more than a dozen ladders and hundreds of people climbed up from below. The brothers fought with them several times before killing them back.
At that time, it was because of the dozens of pots of boiling hot oil. Without that, it would have been difficult to kill the Huns back, but now the hot oil is gone.
At the southern city gate of Xuanning Mansion, there are thousands of people who are retreating. These are also the last people in Xuanning Mansion. The reason why Li Renxuan is still resisting is because of these last people.
He didn't think about repelling the Huns' attack with his own abilities, but as long as he bought these people a little time, maybe they could run farther.
Of course, Li Renxuan still had a glimmer of extravagant hope in his heart, that is, he hoped to persist until the army suppressed the captives.
"kill!!"
The Huns' shouts of killing came from the north.
Hundreds of ladders were planted directly on the city wall. It turned out that the Huns also noticed that there were not many people left on the city wall. It was a tentative attack just now, and this time they will start a general attack.
"Brothers, sacrifice your life to serve the country! No one can take a step back. We must persist for the sake of the people who have not left. If we run away, the Huns will drive in from here, and hundreds of thousands of people may die.
Under their knives."
Li Renxuan held a broadsword in his right hand and pointed to the southern city gate in the distance with his left hand.
In addition to the ordinary people who were running away, there were actually some people wearing black clothes who came inside.
Are there still people coming to die these days?
Security team?
Is there really someone from the security team coming?
White leggings, black uniform on the upper body, and all holding muskets?
Li Renxuan couldn't believe his eyes. Many regular soldiers in the Great Wall defenders were holding big swords, but the security team actually had muskets in their hands?
"General, the enemy is coming."
The situation no longer allows Li Renxuan to continue to pay attention to this security team. As long as they run this way, they will only have 20 minutes at most. We must hold on for these 20 minutes no matter what we do.
"Kill me."
A Hun cavalryman showed his head from the ladder, and Li Renxuan chopped him off with a single blow.
After this guy fell, he also knocked down the two soldiers below.
When Li Renxuan picked up a stone and wanted to throw it down, no one was watching the ladder next to him. Two Huns soldiers rushed up from the side.
One of them held a bow and arrow in his hand, pointing right at Li Renxuan.
"General, be careful..."
A local hero rushed up from the side and blocked the bow and arrow that was aimed at Li Renxuan...
Li Renxuan didn't care about the brother's life or death, so he killed a Huns soldier with one knife and continued to join the battle. There was no time to be sad now. As long as he still had breath, he had to kill him!
There are fewer and fewer Dagan soldiers on the city wall.
Originally there were 4,000 soldiers and soldiers, but now they are decreasing rapidly at a rate of almost 100 per minute.
More and more Huns came up. Li Renxuan didn't know how many people he had killed, and he also suffered two wounds on his body. He felt that the hand holding the knife was getting weaker and weaker...
