Chapter 493: Husband is still alive, carrying a three-footed sword
"When a real man is alive, he should carry a three-foot sword and perform unparalleled achievements to ascend to the throne of the emperor. Today, the general of Zhou Dynasty has not fulfilled his ambition and died in national affairs, but he is the martyr of our generation and the first of our generation!"
Chen Shiju glanced at all the military formations around him. He was resolute and decisive. There was no trace of flinching or avoidance in his eyes.
"I, Chen Shiju, General Zhou who died in the battle, thousands of soldiers who died in the battle, and you, the thousands of soldiers who are still alive. Whose food do you eat? Whose clothes do you wear? Whose money do you take?
?Whose favor did the family members, young and old, receive?
We are all the kings of Tang! We are all the kings of Tang. We have all received great kindness from the king, and we should repay it with our lives. Now that we are dying for the king of Tang, why should we be afraid?"
Chen Shiju used heavy justice to suppress him.
Because: Although there are many people who are profit-seeking, ungrateful, and greedy for life, there are more people who have a heart of shame and a heart of gratitude.
Chen Shiju's words immediately stabilized the morale of the troops.
"My general knows that the troops are in a state of confusion at this moment. After seeing the death of General Zhou, they thought that it was a foregone conclusion that our army would be defeated and the city fortified. But I want to tell you, that is impossible.
There are only 5,000 Han troops in the city, and our army is ten times that number. Even now, the number of soldiers present is six times that number.
Moreover, we fought many times before and after, and we suffered heavy losses. Didn't any of them die? Today's attack on the city also resulted in the death of many Han troops on top of the city.
I don’t think the reason why General Zhou spilled his blood on the battlefield is a real war crime. The reason is not that there are not many Han soldiers in the county! Our army attacked the city several times, but was defeated by the Han general’s cunning.
Not in a frontal fight with swords and guns.
The Han army's conspiracy must have set many traps and ambushes in the city to kill General Zhou.
The armies thought about the previous fighting:
We fought on the top of the city, and they guarded the gate tower, and then shot us with random arrows; we broke down their city gate, and they built earthen walls on the streets in the city; once again, General Zhou personally led his troops into the city, and the Han Dynasty
The army created another fire bull formation.
This time, the Han army broke out in the city gate and cut off General Zhou's retreat, causing General Zhou's troops to die in the city.
These are all numerous conspiracies and conspiracies. What are the purpose of all these conspiracies and conspiracies? What made the two thieves Yun and Li of the Han army so anxious to plan so many traps and ambushes?
It's not because they don't have enough troops to compete with our army. That's why the Han thieves spent so much thought and came up with so many dirty tricks.
Their military strength is far smaller than ours, and those plots and tricks have been used less than once. Can you be afraid of them? What is so scary about them?
We still have an army of 40,000, which is at least eight times the strength of the Han army. If we fight to the death, can’t we avenge General Zhou and his brothers who died under many conspiracies and tricks? We still can’t catch the two thieves of the Han army, General Yun and Li.
Cut him into pieces?
You all know the bravery of General Zhou, and you all know the strength of the three thousand elite soldiers who followed him into the city. Although they have all been destroyed, even if they were destroyed, General Zhou would still let them go.
The Han army shed all their blood. No matter when, if you want to eat General Zhou and three thousand elites, you will have to pay a heavy price.
It can be said that the Han army in the city has also suffered heavy losses. The comparison in strength between us is not eight times at all, but ten times, twelve times, eighteen times..."
Something unexpected happened to Yun Zheng. The Zhou army regained its courage and morale. What a strange phenomenon. The former army general fell and the army suffered heavy losses, but the enemy was still impregnable. Under such circumstances, this army
No matter how many people are left in the army, the morale of the army can only be unstable and morale is low. Why has it recovered now?
He was puzzled.
Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the Zhou army had such control over the army that he could not be disappointed?
You must know that the first moment Yun Zheng got Zhou Chun's body, he wanted to behead him and hang it on the city gate. This would have a certain impact on the morale of the Zhou army.
But Li Xian persuaded him and persuaded Yun Zheng to return Zhou Chun's body to Zhou Jun. What he was afraid of was that the commander of Zhou Jun had a sharp tongue and provoked Zhou Jun's indignation while Zhou Chun was dead and Zhou Jun was grieving.
and anger, which eliminated the frustration and panic among the Zhou army, turned sadness into motivation, and turned the Zhou army into a mourning army. Then they launched an army to attack fiercely, and the Han army in the city was in misery.
But now, if Zhou soldiers are allowed to carry Zhou Chun's body slowly through the military formation, witnessing it with their own eyes will definitely greatly damage the morale and morale of the Zhou army. Moreover, Zhou Chun's body will not be harmed, and the Zhou army's commander will be spared.
A gossipy tongue.
Yes, all the planning came to nothing. Chen Shiju was worthy of being called a Confucian general. His long speech once again boosted the morale of the Zhou army and stabilized the morale of the army.
In the Zhou army's formation, a silent momentum slowly gathered -
"Now, tell me, tell me Chen Shiju, what should we do next -"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge for General Zhou——"
"Avenge, avenge, avenge the brothers who died in battle——"
"Kill--"
On top of the city.
"Damn it, damn it!" The thunderous shouts of death from the Zhou army reached the tower. Yun Zheng immediately stamped his feet and cursed. The morale of the Zhou army increased, which meant that the real hard battle of the Han army was about to begin.
"Kill! Kill! Kill -" Countless Zhou soldiers shouted out their murderous intentions from the bottom of their hearts. The soldiers who were encouraged by Chen Shiju's words were now thinking about how to break through Ling'an County.
How to capture General Yun and Li and tear them alive.
This day.
From noon to the afternoon, the Zhou army surrounded the city and launched eight large and small sieges from the three walls. But the final result...the Han army was defeated.
Thirty thousand Zhou troops suffered six to seven thousand casualties, turning the entire Ling'an city wall into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Kill, kill, kill--" He shouted slogans like crazy, and waves of Zhou troops surged forward.
It was already approaching dusk, but the Zhou army's offensive, which had taken the victory, not only did not weaken, but became more and more crazy.
The city wall was lost, the earthen wall was lost, and the Han army even lost the county government office.
Yunzheng and Li Xian reunited. Although the Han army after losing the county government did not collapse, the situation in the city had lost control. The morale also plummeted uncontrollably. It was not Li Xian's heroic performance.
Only then did he gain a foothold in the north of the county government office, and formed a stalemate with the pursuing Zhou army.
But this situation is like walking on thin ice and cannot be sustained for long. The fall of the city wall has made all the soldiers of the Han army realize the fact that the destruction of Ling'an city is imminent and irreversible!
Even though Yun Zheng and Li Xianer, who led them, have performed well in the past few days and are still fighting on the front line, defeat is doomed.
The reason why the demoralized Han soldiers were able to form a stalemate with the Zhou army again was because Yun Zheng and Li Xian were still in their sights, because there were many buildings and narrow passages in the north of the city, and even more because of the long time.
Divide the troops to capture the east and west cities...
It doesn't matter whether it's the west city or the east city, but if the south city is raided by the Zhou army, then the remaining Han troops in the city won't be able to leave even if they want to. Based on the terrain in the north of the city, there are only less than 2,000 people left.
How could the Han army confront the tens of thousands of Zhou troops with rising morale?
"Withdraw——" Yun Zheng and Li Xian looked at each other, no longer hesitated, and decisively issued the order to withdraw.
"It's so easy to leave, soldiers, follow me -" The captain who was leading the Zhou army behind him smiled coldly, and while shouting, he raised his sword and rushed to the front line.
The withdrawal order issued by the general made the remnants of the Han army with low morale panic for a while. Although they were all elites in the army, they lost the city wall in half a day today. The county government now has to withdraw from Ling'an City. The morale of the army
Naturally, he was going to suffer a blow.
Fortunately, Yun Zheng and Li Xian were in charge of the rear, otherwise if the Zhou army pressed forward hastily, the remnants of the Han army might have collapsed!
The streets were chaotic, and the panic in the army finally affected the front line. A few Han soldiers turned around and fled, rushing east and west in a panic, like headless flies.
Some of them still thought of taking off their armor and sneaking into the civilian strongholds in the city to survive, but this led to Zhou soldiers also starting to attack the civilians remaining in the city.
They now hate the Han army and the Han people in Ling'an City. How could the five thousand Han army accomplish the huge fortifications all over the city if it were not for the help of the common people and residents?
After Li Xian integrated some of his troops, he rode towards the southeast again. The sound of fighting there was louder than in the southwest. But in an alley, he ran into a small group of Zhou soldiers chasing and killing several Han soldiers.
and the young men in the city. This group of Zhou soldiers, armed with bright swords and spears, wantonly chased and killed three Han soldiers and four young men who were with the Han soldiers. The leader of the Zhou army, carrying a long spear, was chasing the four soldiers hurriedly.
The youngest among the famous young men, a boy of only fourteen or fifteen years old, burst into bursts of joyful laughter from time to time.
Li Xian was furious when he saw it. He held a three-pointed and two-edged sword in his hand, clapped his horse and went straight to meet him. Where the cold light fell, screams arose, and the leader of the Zhou army in front had been killed by him with a single blow. The team behind him was on the ground.
The Zhou soldiers immediately burst into an uproar and swarmed up like swarms of swarms. Five or six swords and spears were slashed and stabbed at the same time. Li Xian laughed loudly and slashed out with his sword. He only heard the sound of "ding-dong" as he stabbed,
The chopped spears and swords flew into the air one after another, and two Zhou soldiers who were close to the horse were cut into four sections by Li Xian. Then Li Xian swung his sword and killed seven or eight more Zhou soldiers.
, the remaining twenty or thirty Zhou soldiers dispersed in an instant...
But this is just a small "return of light" in Ling'an City, and it does not help the overall situation at all.
Upstairs in the south city.
Chen Shiju finally boarded the place he had wanted to see for two days. He rubbed the blood-spattered battlements on the top of the city, but there was still no trace of joy in his eyes.
The casualties are too great, the losses are too great, and the gains are too little...
South of Ling'an City.
The junction of Zhongshan Kingdom and Northern Han Dynasty.
Two young men dressed as ordinary people but moving quickly and swiftly ran into a dense forest.
"Senior Brother Mu, Senior Brother Mu, we intercepted a secret report from Zhongshan..." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
