I don’t know how many corpses were left behind, but the Tuyuhun army still continued to attack desperately.
Obviously, the defenders successfully rescued this group of cavalry from the crowd of thousands of troops, which had angered the Tuyuhun army. If they did not achieve some results, they would have no way to explain to Murong Shifu when they returned.
Even the Tuyuhun troops who had made it clear at the beginning that they wanted to watch the show realized that something was wrong, and rushed forward one by one with howls.
Wei Yuancheng reined in his horse and looked at the Tuyuhun troops rushing towards him like a tide. Thinking that he had almost drowned in this rolling "tide", Wei Yuancheng was still frightened.
A man's hearty laughter sounded from behind: "Welcome to Wuwei!"
Wei Yuancheng immediately got off his horse and looked at the man in front of him.
He knew this person, Gao Mai.
At the beginning, Gao Mai was very low-key in Chang'an City, but his special identity has made many people very curious, including Wei Yuancheng and other young people. However, they did not dare to hide it from their families and go to make friends with Gao Mai. At most, they would just have a banquet.
I have seen places like this from a distance.
But now that we meet in this place, I can only sigh at the magic of fate.
In addition, Wei Yuancheng is also very lucky. At least what he sees is a Wuwei that can still grit its teeth and persevere despite the enemy's siege. It is a Wuwei that still has high morale in the entire army. Although Wuwei's current situation is also very difficult.
Dangerous, but at least it's better than falling directly into the enemy's hands.
The heart that has been hanging around for a long time can be considered let go.
Lonely city, siege, miracle, these days everyone has too many speculations and too many praises about Wuwei.
Now I finally saw it with my own eyes and participated in it myself.
"See General Gao!" Wei Yuancheng solemnly raised his hand, "My subordinates were ordered by the Duke of Jin to send news of the impending arrival of reinforcements to Wuwei, but they almost fell short of success. They had to rely on the lives of General Gao and many other ministers, otherwise they would have died here.
!”
"Hahaha, what did the little brother of the Wei family say?" Gao Mai immediately returned the greeting, "We are a visitor from afar, not to mention someone from our own family. The news must be good. How could we watch death in the city?
If I don’t save you, but if I have the strength to spare, I should welcome you all into the city. Even if I don’t have the strength to spare, I will fight my way out of the city and fight to the death with you!”
Wei Yuancheng was immediately surprised and said: "General Gao knows someone?"
"The Young Master of the Wei family was once a leader of the younger generation in Chang'an City. How come you don't know him?" Gao Mai said with a smile, "I have long heard that the Young Master of the Wei family wanted to compete with a certain person, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity today.
We can fight side by side."
This time, Wei Yuancheng was a little embarrassed.
When he was young and frivolous, he had indeed given up his bold words and wanted to compete with Gao Mai, a well-known figure in the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, Wei Yuancheng had almost forgotten these things later, and he did not expect that Gao Mai would still remember them.
Wait, this guy wouldn't be so vindictive, would he?
So am I not throwing myself into a trap?
Wei Yuancheng coughed lightly and moved slightly, trying to keep a distance from Gao Mai to prevent this guy from stabbing him again.
Gao Mai didn't notice Wei Yuancheng's little move and stared straight at the battle ahead: "Brother Wei, in order to save you, it seems that someone may have to give up a line of defense."
"Ah?" Wei Yuancheng suddenly opened his mouth.
Brother, stop it. It's like I owe you something. You're not going to settle old and new grudges, are you?
"But I don't plan to give it to you. I'm worried that they won't come to you. Now it's time to compete with them!" Gao Mai laughed loudly and walked forward with the knife in his hand. "Little brother, let's go rest first and wait for the fight with you.
I’ll entertain you again!”
Wei Yuancheng shuddered, "No, I don't need your hospitality."
Forget it, I'll go into battle with you.
At any rate, if we fight side by side, you won't cause trouble for me anymore.
"We should advance and retreat with the general!" Wei Yuancheng drew out his horizontal sword.
Gao Mai turned his head, a little strange.
You have also run a long way, and you have had another good fight. Aren't you tired?
Wei Yuancheng also looked at him strangely, "What's that look in your eyes? Are you thinking about how to kill me in the chaos?"
But having said all that, I have to bite the bullet at this time.
"Let's go!" Gao Mai said with a hearty smile, "Let's see who kills more enemies!"
It didn't look like he was going to stab me, Wei Yuancheng muttered in his heart.
Gao Mai has already rushed forward.
The Tuyuhun army was getting closer and closer to the trench. The Han army's musketeers retreated into the trench and still continued to fire. However, the muskets were equipped with bayonets. Behind them, the swordsmen and shieldmen were also ready, indicating that the Han army soldiers were ready.
Prepare for hand-to-hand combat in the trenches.
"My sons, the main force of the army is about to arrive. At this time, we can no longer give up an inch of ground to these damn Tuyuhun people!" Gao Mai raised his arms and shouted, "Long live the great man!"
"Long live the great Han!" The Han soldiers finally received the most accurate affirmation from their commander, and they immediately shouted along.
The reinforcements, the main force, are finally coming.
Being trapped in the isolated city, we finally saw the light before dawn.
But before that, we must survive the coldest and darkest time.
"Kill!" Tuyuhun's soldiers had already rushed to the edge of the trench. The Han soldiers jumped out of the trench and fought with the enemy.
"Kill!" Gao Mai led his guards across the trench and entered the battle.
"Kill!" The musketeers took the initiative to put the enemy into the trench, and then assassinated them forward at the same time.
Wei Yuancheng also waved his sword: "Brothers, let's work hard again!"
The cavalry also agreed with a bang and got off their horses. The fight around the trench was of course nothing to do with the cavalry, but they also had fists, feet, blades, and even fire blunderbuss suitable for close combat. Even if they didn't have horses, what should they be afraid of?
——————————-
The news that reinforcements were about to arrive soon spread throughout Wuwei City like a storm from outside the west gate.
He Ruobi, who was standing on the southeast corner building, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The morale of the Han army officers who had been struggling to support themselves was greatly boosted by this news, and they even seemed to have a little more strength to carry the wooden rolling stones.
He Ruobi slowly leaned against the pillars of the turret behind him. The second floor of the turret had been destroyed by trebuchets, and half of the first floor had collapsed, but now it was convenient for the Han army to set up an artillery piece.
The gunner's shouts kept ringing in my ears, and the rumble of cannons drowned out the sounds of many arrows and the roars of the soldiers.
This dilapidated turret is like a true reflection of Wuwei now. He Ruobi himself doesn't know how long he can hold on, but the sound of the cannons and the roar are undoubtedly telling him that the Han soldiers do not want to surrender yet, and they are even more excited.
And believed that he could hold on until the moment reinforcements arrived.
All soldiers are like this, so what else does He Ruobi have to give up?
Kill the enemy to serve the country, even if you die, you will not regret it.
"Bang!" Earth and rocks flew into the air, and the stone bullets hit the artillery position in the turret. All of a sudden, several people fell to the ground.
He Ruobi jumped up subconsciously: "Rescue the wounded, hurry up, you guys, load up the shells!"
