"Reinforcements will arrive in eleven days." Guo Ping explained to the subordinates around him. At this time, he had suffered three injuries. He vomited a mouthful of blood a few days ago. He seemed to be fine at the time, but now his symptoms are still there.
It was revealed that whenever I inhaled, my chest hurt terribly and my lungs were still injured.
The battlements on the earthen wall around him have disappeared without a trace. There are scattered earth clods everywhere on the city wall, and there is no place to step down. Guo Ping has never gone down since he climbed up the city wall. His own school captain Chen
He had already gone down to rest, but he was not called. It was obvious that this was the old man's fault again.
"Maybe he will feel more comfortable if I die." Guo Ping thought sadly.
There were always explosions under the city wall. This was because the belly of the corpse had exploded due to the sun. The flies flew up again and landed on Guo Ping's hand. He watched the newly arrived soldiers vomiting, but Guo Ping remained calm.
He raised the kettle and took a sip of water.
"Reinforcements will arrive in eleven days." Guo Ping once again nagged to his subordinates.
The pain in his left shoulder was severe and surprisingly hot. This was caused by the damage to the muscles and bones inside. While the Turks were retreating, Guo Ping installed the last spare string of his crossbow on the hand crossbow. Chen Shu
I haven't been willing to use the five crossbows I gave myself in the past two days. I can't use them today. The Turks' offensive in the morning was too fierce, and it seemed that they didn't plan to rest at noon. The cavalry in the city was finally lost three days ago.
, they carried oil bags and died together with the Turks' siege vehicles.
Thinking of them, Guo Ping's heart was filled with grief and indignation. Their attack was so tragic. Five hundred fine cavalry showed no fear in the face of five thousand enemy cavalry. They fought hard and inextricably. At the last moment, they were able to rush out with hundreds of them.
When those catapults were lit, Guo Ping knew the bravest man. He stood at the head of the city and watched him rushing left and right, unable to stand out from the enemy's formation. When the Turk behind him raised his flail, Guo Ping frantically attacked that man.
Shouting "Dodge!"! Unfortunately, his voice could not reach the battlefield where people were neighing and horses were screaming. The hammer of the flail hit the man's neck. Seeing that his neck was tilted to one side, four or five lances finally
It pierced his body, and Guo Ping, who was used to seeing life and death, burst into tears just because that person was his eldest brother Guo Wei.
It takes eighty steps to walk from left to right. This is the area that Guo Ping needs to defend. Eighty steps and sixteen men are all his fighting strength. There were still thirty men in the morning, but half of them were gone by noon. Some of them were gone.
Human corpses fell off the city wall, and some were lucky enough not to fall. They were lying in the rubble and no one helped them to restrain themselves because all the auxiliary soldiers were on the battlefield.
I don’t know if my father regrets it now. Marquis Yun had repeatedly asked him to retreat to Khotan and not to march to Qiuci. It is too far away from Gaochang and the road is very difficult. Now he is in such a situation. I don’t know.
Does he have any regrets?
He probably won’t regret it. He doesn’t know what regret is at all. If a man dies, his ears will be dead, so why be afraid? This is what he often says. He is going to die now. He won’t be afraid. I guess he will only
A little annoyed.
Guo Ping felt very comfortable when he thought of this. His elder brother died in the battle, and he was about to die in the battle. He was left as a lonely old man holding on to his own beliefs and growing old together with the house in Chang'an.
He is always one step slower than others. If he breaks out immediately at the beginning, Guo Ping believes that there is at least an 80% chance of breaking out of the siege, and at least half of the soldiers can be saved. By the time he realizes that something is wrong - he has already tried to break out of the siege.
It was too late, and the three thousand cavalry were wasted in the Turks' thick battle formation.
The Turks' arrow rain struck again, and the large shield that had protected him countless times was once again tilted and erected by Guo Ping. The arrow rain above his head fell on the big shield, and it no longer jingled and jingled.
The top layer of iron has fallen off. Now when the arrows fall, they will pierce the wooden board of the shield, making a soft popping sound.
For the first time, I discovered a small iron bar inside the large shield, with the words "Made in Yuezhou" engraved on it. It turned out that this shield came from Yuezhou. After studying the origin of this large shield, the arrow rain had stopped, and Guo Ping threw away the large shield.
Dun picked up a long spear and stabbed it towards a gap in front of him without thinking. The long spear point pierced the eyes of a Turkic man who had just exposed his head, and a stream of black blood flowed down the barrel of the spear.
Just let the blood spurt out, so that this guy can't catch the tip of his spear. With a slight pull back, the Turkic man fell into the pile of dead bodies.
Kucha City is now very easy to climb. You can reach the city wall with both hands just by stepping on the slimy corpses. The stronger ones can even jump up. The pig's mouth on Guo Ping's mouth has long disappeared. He is already very familiar with it.
The smell of corpses here makes it no problem to sit here and eat. He knows that he has completely turned into a stinky person. I'm afraid it's hard to go to Yanlailou and mess around like this, right?
A spear flew over with a roar. Guo Ping raised his hand and knocked the spear away with the small buckler on his arm. The enemy's cavalry was nearby. Seeing three of his men being pierced by the spear, Guo Ping touched it! Come out.
A bamboo tube as thick as an arm was placed on the flame, lit the fuse, and was thrown away! Outside the wall, there was a loud noise and a shrill howl. Also, the pain from the iron sand in the bamboo tube hitting the eyes or face was not at all
It's just not a pain that people can endure.
Half of the arm flew up to the top of the city. The fingers had turned black. The arm was swollen to the thickness of a man's leg. There were white maggots squirming in the dark flesh on the wound. Even Guo Ping himself almost vomited.
He quickly picked it up with the tip of his spear and threw it down the city wall.
The city wall on the left was breached, but Guo Ping ignored it. Someone would naturally step in and chop to death a Turk with a bleeding face. He looked back at that place in his busy schedule. Damn it, no one was there to make up for it. Turks.
Three people have climbed up.
Cursing fiercely, Guo Ping picked up the hand crossbow and fired three arrows at a time. The crossbow arrows worked. The third crossbow arrow was slapped away by the bald Turk with a knife. Guo Ping roared and rushed over with his spear pointed. His opponent
He was very strong. He blocked it with his sword, then raised his right foot and kicked Guo Ping hard on his abdomen.
Among the three brothers of the Guo family, Guo Ping was the worst in martial arts. He always believed that his flexibility of mind could make up for the gap in force. However, this kick from the Turkic warrior completely destroyed his fighting power. He huddled in the corner with his belly in his arms, completely angry.
I can't breathe. I just fell into the pile of rocks and probably one of my ribs was broken.
For the first time, he was a little dissatisfied with his low martial arts skills. The Turkic warrior cut down his long sword. Guo Ping reluctantly rolled away. The long sword actually hit the ground and broke. The sturdy bald warrior yelled and grabbed him.
He lifted Guo Ping up by his armor and silk ribbon, and used his body to swing away several spears that were stabbing him. Just when he was about to throw Guo Ping down into the city, Guo Ping finally caught a piece of it in his hand.
The wire quickly wrapped around the strong man's neck, forming a barricade with spikes on it.
The spikes on it pierced the strong man's throat. As soon as his hand loosened, Guo Ping fell on the stone again, blood spurting out of Lao Gao. The strong man who was in a hurry to untie the barbed wire was like a mad tiger. He didn't understand.
The more this happened, the tighter the barbed wire would wrap around his body. When Guo Ping climbed out of the pile of rocks with difficulty, the strong man's whole body was already tightly entangled with the barbed wire, and countless spikes were pierced into him.
As he continued to twist, blood began to pour out of his body, dripping onto the ground along the barbed wire.
"Kill him!" Guo Ping shouted these words from his throat. His four remaining subordinates pierced the strong man's body with their spears, shouted, and pushed him out of the city wall.
.
"Guo Xiaoke! I tried my best!" Guo Ping lay on his back on the city wall and shouted with his mouth open: "I will never be your son again in my next life." The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for many days could no longer be suppressed.
Ping's tears were streaming down his face. Four people could not defend the two-hundred-step-wide city wall no matter what. Since there is no reserve army here, it means that the manpower has been transferred to other places, and it also means that other places are more critical. The city,
This is about to be breached...
Guo Ping lay there for a long time, but he still didn't wait for the Turks to swarm up. He turned his head and looked around, and found that his four subordinates were jumping and cheering. His ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear what was going on.
.
Climbing to the top of the city and looking down, I saw a large group of Tang Dynasty cavalry charging left and right under the city. The black-armored general at the head was extremely brave, and his Ma Shuo was shaking like a blooming pear blossom on his horse.
When two enemies were strung up on him, he threw away the horse's harness, and the horse flew high over the Juma stake. While the horse was still flying, the horizontal sword in his hand had already hacked off a Turkic head.
"Who the hell is this? So fierce?" When Guo Ping muttered to himself, he found that Chen Shu was lying next to him and looking down. This guy was not that good either. His helmet was missing and half of his hair was gone.
It disappeared, and there was a hideous wound on the handsome face, through which the gums could be seen.
"Momomo" Chen Shu replied to Guo Ping with a ferocious smile.
Unable to hear Chen Shu's words clearly, Guo Ping continued to lie on the top of the city and looked down. He found that this cavalry was different from the cavalry of his Anxi Army. They were all equipped with powerful crossbows, and they seemed to have endless crossbow arrows. No matter how careful they were,
While watching, I couldn't help but feel extremely jealous. The Anxi army was raised by my mother-in-law. Each of these bastards had three powerful crossbows on their horses, two large and one small. In other words, they could only shoot all nine crossbows after they had fired all nine crossbows.
, will draw the sword to fight.
In fact, he guessed wrong again. After the crossbow arrows were fired, they did not draw their swords. Instead, they picked an iron knot the size of a fist from their waists, lit it on the tinder on the saddle, and threw it out. After a loud noise,
, the horse that blocked his progress immediately fell into pieces.
"An Xijun was born by his mother's maid!"
Guo Ping lay flat and stretched out his middle finger towards the big sun in the sky.
