It was getting brighter, and the sound of war drums sounded again outside the low-walled trench that had been silent for a while. Following the sound of the war drums, groups of golden soldiers rushed over with swords, axes, and shields.
What greeted them was a hail of sharp arrows from behind the low wall.
But firstly, the shield blocked some of the sharp arrows, and secondly, even if he was hit, under the urging of the war drums behind him, more golden soldiers rushed forward like a tide, stepping on their dead companions.
The strange screams in gibberish were overwhelming, instantly filling the low-wall trench, and then surged up again.
Standing on the dilapidated barrier wall, you can see these heavily armored golden soldiers charging towards you with fierce expressions.
"withdraw."
The general at Guanqiang shouted after shooting the last crossbow arrow.
Seeing the Zhou soldiers escaping hastily, the Jin soldiers who crossed the low wall and ditch suddenly became more arrogant and quickly rushed into the wall.
After a night of fierce fighting, the wall behind the wall was dilapidated and messy, with fallen earth walls, burning wooden frames, solidified fresh blood, corpses of Zhou soldiers rolled haphazardly on the ground, and abandoned wooden shield carts.
It was as brutal as hell, but it also made traveling difficult.
Especially since the wall was narrow, the golden soldiers that came in moved slowly for a while, huddled together, with shields in front and heavy soldiers at the back, so the formation of shields on both sides of the axe-hands was meaningless.
Although this small new city checkpoint occupies a small area, the terrain is difficult, allowing you to retreat, defend or attack. Therefore, the first thing Cheng Guogong did after entering Yizhou was to capture this place, and he almost captured the seventh prince of Jin alive based on this.
, if Tuobawu hadn't led his troops to rescue the siege in time.
For Jin Bing, this place was much more familiar than Zhou Bing's, but the Jin soldiers who came in were cautious, and their originally ferocious expressions became a little confused.
There is no one inside this wall.
Could it be that all Zhou soldiers died in one night?
But this did not affect their speed, because more golden soldiers poured in from behind, and the wall was filled with people in the blink of an eye.
Just as they were about to rush towards the inner city ahead, a sharp sound of gongs and drums was heard, followed by the sound of a humming wind. The golden soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and saw a pile of stone bullets flying from the inner city ahead.
The golden soldiers immediately screamed strangely and tried to scatter, but the area was crowded and narrow, and there were still unresponsive golden soldiers pouring in from behind. Within a moment, more than a dozen stone bullets had been thrown down.
In an instant, a bunch of people were knocked to the ground, their heads under the helmets deformed, and blood flowed across them.
In addition to being injured by stone bullets, people bumped into each other and stepped on each other in the chaos.
"Why is there still a catapult?"
"Isn't it already exhausted?"
Listening to the nonsense screamed outside, the general hiding behind the inner city wall looked calm.
What's strange is that they never expected reinforcements, so they naturally had to provide adequate protection.
"Crossbow operator." He stood up, pointed the crossbow in his hand at the outside of the earth wall, "Put it down."
A dozen soldiers stood up and fired the crossbows in their hands.
Arrows rained down at the golden soldiers under the earthen wall.
There was chaos inside the wall.
Watching the golden soldiers who rushed in escape back, Tuoba Wu, who was standing in the distant camp and watched, was furious and ordered the golden soldiers who retreated to be shot.
"He doesn't have many troops left, he can't hold on anymore." He shouted angrily, "The warriors will crush Zhu Shan to death even if they use corpses!"
A wave of retreating golden soldiers were shot and killed. They were dead when they advanced and died when they retreated. Countless golden soldiers had no choice but to move forward desperately.
There were many corpses inside and outside the wall.
"...This round there are almost more than a thousand." The general standing on the inner wall whispered. He chuckled as he spoke, obviously very satisfied with the result.
"very nice."
A mellow voice came from behind.
The general looked back and saw that at some point a group of generals and soldiers were standing on the city wall, surrounded by a burly man.
There were soldiers beside him holding a large flag. The flag swayed in the wind, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow over the man.
This man was wearing armor and a helmet, and his face could not be seen clearly in the shadow. The bright red tassels on the helmet were particularly eye-catching.
He was holding a long knife in his hand. This long knife was made very delicately and weighed roughly twenty or thirty pounds. It was shining coldly in the sunlight.
"My lord." The general hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Duke Cheng Guo looked forward.
Behind the densely packed corpses in front, countless golden soldiers are pouring in in an endless stream.
"Let's fight." Cheng Guogong said.
This will be the last battle.
But his voice was as consistent as ever, without any sadness or anger, and his words were simple and clear.
The expressions of the generals around him were also calm.
I already knew the ending before I came here, so I didn’t feel emotional at all.
"Kill the thief!" they drew their weapons and shouted.
All the soldiers on the city wall stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs. Their eyes were firm, their expressions were angry, excited, and numb, but they were not afraid.
The sound was like spring thunder rolling through Guanbao.
Watching the waves coming in and then exiting and then coming in again, the shouts of killing shook the sky. Tuoba Wu, who was standing on the observation deck in the distance, couldn't help but feel frightened. He held his hand on his waist and held the long ax tightly.
As the two sides advanced and retreated, the battlefield had moved outside the fort, and a figure finally appeared in Tuoba Wu's sight.
This man has a burly look, and his white armor is particularly eye-catching, especially the long knife in his hand.
It was this long knife that cut off his brother's head, causing him to live like a dog for four years.
Tuoba Wu's eyes turned red.
If you can kill Duke Cheng Guo with your own hands, you can wash away your shame.
He grabbed the long ax and was about to go down to the observation tower, but he saw Cheng Guogong's long sword dancing like a tiger, and the people close to him were swept away and fell one after another.
There were so many people in such confusion, but his movements were always calm and unhurried, giving him an inexplicable sense of beauty.
But this beauty is also extremely bloody.
The long sword was swung, and a soldier was almost cut in half. Blood mist rose in the sunlight, and his internal organs flew everywhere.
Tuobawu couldn't help but look livid, his eyes flashed, he gripped the long ax tightly and stopped.
Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Shan is dead. If he sees himself, he will definitely drag him along and bury him with him.
Although there are many soldiers and horses, Cheng Guogong and others have no power to fight back, but Cheng Guogong is cunning and cunning. Who knows if he has any hidden tricks.
There is no need to take this risk. It would be the same if you cut off his head with your own hands when he dies.
"Continue to attack, attack." He grabbed the railing and shouted, gritting his teeth, "Everyone, come on, kill them, kill them."
After saying this, he threw his head back and laughed wildly.
"Zhu Shan is going to die! Zhu Shan is finally going to die!"
At this moment, there were several loud bangs in his ears, and the observation tower shook. Tuobawu was caught off guard and almost fell down.
What happened?
He hurriedly grabbed the railing, but before he could find where the sound came from, he heard a commotion behind him and an exclamation.
"The Zhou reinforcements are coming!"
Zhou reinforcements?
Where did the Zhou people get reinforcements?
Except for Cheng Guogong Zhu Shan, who dares to disobey the emperor's order, who dares to lead his troops into the Golden Realm, and who dares to come to fight despite knowing that tens of thousands of enemies are gathered?
Did you see it wrong?
But the commotion in the rear was even greater, and the shouts were overwhelming.
"It's the Qingshan Army."
"The Qingshan Army is here!"
What kind of army is the Qingshan Army?
Tuoba Wu looked back, looking surprised.
