As the order was issued, Wang Jian also turned his horse's head and slowly retreated towards the formation. Wang Jian has always been very clear about his position. Although he is also a warrior who has reached the pinnacle of the first-class level, his final
In fact, his main identity is to command the troops. Sitting in the rear, commanding and mobilizing, and coordinating the overall situation are what he should do, rather than leading the charge.
"Boom!"
In the array, from top to bottom, under Wang Jian's order, they moved layer by layer. Hundreds of war drums sounded at the same time, and the charging horn that resounded throughout the world was played again. Two arrows away, there were dark black
The battle flag flutters in the wind, and the shining spear
The swords and halberds were dazzling. Groups of black-armored Qin soldiers lined up in neat queues. Groups of crossbow cavalry protected them. Under the command of the strong and deep drums, they marched out in unison at a consistent pace.
The siege equipment moved forward resolutely.
The drum beat became more and more urgent, and the powerful sound of the long horn echoed in the sky. The Qin army shouted in unison and slowly approached the gate of Pingyang County.
On the city wall, Xu Rong stood behind the female wall, calmly looking at the slowly approaching black torrent in front of him, motionless.
Behind him, thousands of Xiliang soldiers suppressed the fear in their chests. Many soldiers clenched and loosened their spears from time to time, and involuntarily stuck out their tongues and licked their lips to soothe their emotions. Looking at the enemy heading towards
The city wall was gradually approaching, and everyone's heartbeats were beating nervously as the Qin army advanced.
The Qin army is getting closer and closer. Under the command of Wang Jian, the listed offensive formations have begun to exert his unparalleled offensive. Clusters of wolf-toothed arrows roaring in are like the arrow rain that blocks the sky and the sun.
, fluffy shots shot towards the city wall, and landed in the shield wall erected by the soldiers of Xiliang. Screams came one after another, and scarlet blood seeped out slowly along the city wall like a stream, and gradually fell.
On the ground, they gather to form a river.
"General, do you want to prepare to fight back now?"
The lieutenant beside Xu Rong swung his sword to shoot down the arrow that flew in front of him, and stared at the black torrent below the city without looking back and asked.
"Your legs are shaking. Are you scared?"
Xu Rong also looked at the Qin army under the city wall indifferently, looking at the arrogant black torrent, and did not answer the deputy general's words. Instead, he asked lightly, "If you are afraid, turn back to the city now and wait until the war is over."
,Whether you win or lose, if you choose to surrender, I believe Wang Jian will not make things difficult for you."
"You are all the same, are you afraid? If you are, it is still too late to retreat from the city wall. You have shed enough blood and sweat for me and for Xiliang, and there is no shortage of this." Before the deputy general could answer,
Xu Rong suddenly changed his calm expression and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
Xu Rong, as a general in Xiliang, has never had the most resounding reputation. Since he followed the owl Dong Zhuo and the former poisonous warrior Li Ru from the Xiliang cavalry, he has participated in countless wars, large and small, and has a strong sense of life and death.
, for fear
He had already ignored fear, so when faced with such a desperate situation, with Wang Jian in front of him, and with the Qin army in front of him, who was as powerful as a torrent, he did not have any fear in his heart, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
of relief,
"I was defeated, but I lost in front of such a powerful Qin army. I have no regrets in being able to fight against such a powerful Qin army."
What's more, for Xu Rong at this time, it would be a good thing if he could hold on. If he couldn't hold on, dying here would be a relief.
Dong Zhuo died, and the body of the Xiliang army was gone.
Li Ru died, and the head of the Xiliang army was also cut off.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was once so powerful that it looked down upon the world, now only has a few trunks left that are struggling to hold on. The most important thing is that these trunks are still wary of each other and engaged in civil war.
A person or a force has no body and no head. Even if he is still alive, he is just choosing slow death. In ancient times, he was as powerful as Xingtian, but without the head, he is nothing more than that.
What can the Xiliang army do?
Therefore, Xu Rong wanted to save the world and led 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to rush to Xiliang. As long as Liangzhou was captured, the Xiliang army would have a trunk again. Even if it still had no head, it would be a threat to Xu Rong.
That said, at least there is hope.
What people fear most is that there is no hope. If there is hope, then one can still live. If there is no hope, then one can only die.
So after his defeat, Xu Rong already had the will to die. But Xiliang Erlang, who had been following him, didn't have to do this, let alone die, so he pretended to be unwilling and wanted to bet with Wang Jian.
, I want to leave the backbone of the Xiliang cavalry in the end, and at the same time find a home for the thousands of men in the city who can still fight, as well as the thousands of men who are still on the sick bed.
However, as Xu Rong's voice fell, the city wall that was originally noisy suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that it was scary. The lieutenant slowly straightened his back and whispered to Xu Rong, "Yes."
wind!"
The corners of the lieutenant's mouth slowly tilted toward his ears, revealing his white teeth, and he laughed and said, "The wind on the city wall is so strong that it makes my legs shake!"
"It's the wind!" Countless officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army cracked their mouths at the same time and laughed with their teeth exposed.
"It's the wind!"
The corners of Xu Rong's eyes were moist. He is such a good man. Why don't you cherish him, my lord? Why don't you cherish him, military advisor?
Xu Rong closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. A trace of firmness and awareness slowly appeared in his eyes, "It's the wind, and the wind is particularly strong. That invisible wind is gathering into a storm within a stone's throw.
It turned into a black torrent, carrying thick black clouds, and rushed towards Pingyang County and the Xiliang army like an overwhelming force!"
"Okay! Then let's fight again. Let's block this nasty wind from him together!"
Xu Rong laughed loudly, "My sons, prepare to fight back!"
As he spoke, Xu Rong suddenly stood up, stood up from behind the parapet, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, like a bolt of lightning that cut through the dark clouds, and flew out towards the black torrent in the distance.
The arrow penetrated the body.
Scarlet blood slowly flowed out. Even with the defense of the shield wall, Xu Rong's arrow of concentrated will still killed a Great Qin crossbow soldier.
Xu Rong's shooting skills are not very good, but at this moment, his shooting skills have reached a special realm, an extremely brilliant level. He does not look at the enemy's position at all, and shoots three arrows in one hand, like a volley of arrows.
Like rays of sunrise breaking through the dark clouds, or hope, they shot down towards the unparalleled black torrent below the city.
Following Xu Rong's counterattack, a series of hoarse shouts sounded from the top of the city.
"Archer, one hundred and fifty steps, shoot from behind!"
Buzz, a row of arrows shot up from the top of Dongwu City, overwhelming the sky, and flew toward the Great Qin River below the city.
