Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 578 The Cruel Shura Field
The defenders at the top of the city launched a defensive battle. In addition to the archers, they also smashed down and splashed some rolling logs, gravel, and hot soup, which caused some damage to the Wuyue soldiers below the city.

I saw many Wuyue soldiers climbed halfway, were hit by rolling logs and stones, and fell off the top of the city, like ripe grapes, fell to the ground with a snap, either dead or injured.

A cruel battlefield is being staged, with shouts of killing and many screams everywhere.

At this time, the defenders at the top of the city were constantly being hit by arrows, or fell down and were seriously injured, or fell back after being hit by arrows, leaving room for the substitutes behind to fight.

"kill!"

Wuyue soldiers shouted and rushed to the bottom of the city and the top of the city. From a distance, those figures were like ants climbing the wall, covering the top of the city, while the Tang army on the wall resisted tenaciously. The geographical advantage and condescending position destroyed the ladders of the Wuyue soldiers, so that these climbing soldiers had to give up halfway, were injured or killed.

The soldiers on both sides are fighting to the death. Their positions are different. Although they all belong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are from different countries, so their positions are different.

In the battle of life and death here, either you die or I live.

This is the same root, why is it too urgent!
Killing people in war is sometimes a glory, but it is not a kind of life and death of the lower-level soldiers who are indifferent to the lives of the lower-level soldiers for the sake of political interests.

Every battle requires the lives of countless people. There may be only a small amount in the history books, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides died for it.

At this time, Peng Jingjing, Han Yunpeng, Jing Hong, Jing Yun and others also came to the top of the city and stood behind Su Chen. The scene of the fierce battle outside the city showed some surprise.

Especially Han Yunpeng, when he saw such a scene for the first time, his face changed slightly, and even his body trembled a little. It was too cruel and too real. under the city walls.

As a dandy, Han Yunpeng, the son of the servant, is only 16 years old. He has never seen such a scene before, and he can't help but tremble a little.

But Peng Jingjing is a little used to it, because in addition to participating in a few battles in the territory, she also led the troops to charge the Danshui victory in the first two days, so seeing the current scene, I have a little expectation. Seeing when he can lead troops into battle without any sign of fear.

Jing Hong's father and son are also wearing armor at this time. Since following Su Chen, this father and son have been practicing martial arts and improving constantly. They were originally generals who had been hidden in the mountains and forests for three generations. , Jing Hong thinks it is very valuable, and he is relatively open about war matters, so there is absolutely no problem in letting him go to the battlefield.

Jing Yun glanced at Han Yunpeng and said, "Mr. Han, your legs are shaking."

Han Yunpeng pretended to be strange and said, "Is there? Are my legs shaking?

Jing Yun nodded, and confirmed seriously: "It is trembling, you can see that it is still trembling now, if you don't believe it, you can let sister Jingjing see it."

Han Yunpeng said disapprovingly: "Maybe I'm too excited, yes, I'm too excited. It's the first time I face this kind of scene. I think it's time for me to display my talents and abilities. When I think about how to go to battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, I feel a little nervous." Excited, it doesn't matter!"

Although he said so, Han Yunpeng was thinking in his heart: let's take it easy for the time being with real guns and real knives. First, do entry-level military tasks, such as counting accounts, doing various military affairs, etc. Han Yunpeng can do it with ease .

He planned to follow Su Chen's side, and he would go into battle whenever he was in battle, otherwise, it would still be unsafe, and he would only fight again when Su Chen was all in the battle.

Originally, when Han Yunpeng joined the army, most of them thought it was fun, passionate, and had something to do.

With the power and money of their family, there is absolutely no need to charge into the battle like ordinary soldiers and corporal leaders, to build an army, and to obtain titles. Han Yunpeng doesn't need these at all. He thought it would be easy to go to the battlefield. So horrible rendering.

But only now did I realize that it was too bloody and cruel, and everyone's life was so fragile, as if what they killed was not the same kind at all, but demons and ghosts. Those were fresh human lives!

Even Wu Yue soldiers were shot through the head and heart by arrows, and began to fall continuously under the city wall, and were even hit on the body and head by rolling logs and flowing stones, blood spattered, stumps flew, and heads rolled like The cruel Shura field is frightening.

At this moment, Lu Jiang saw that the situation was at a stalemate, and the defenders on the top of the city also suffered a lot of damage, so she ordered: "Change a wave of defenders to replace them, and carry all the wounded down for treatment. Since the Wuyue soldiers are going to fight fiercely, we will fight with them." He will spend it to the end, anyway, we have a geographical advantage, as long as we don't relax our vigilance and stick to it, the Wuyue soldiers will definitely retreat in spite of difficulties."

Inspector Wang Yuechao said: "There are only 5 or [-] enemy soldiers outside the city, but the defenders in my city also have this number. I don't know where the Wu Yue soldiers have the confidence to despise our Tang army so much?"

General Lu Jiang said with a smile: "Wu Yue soldiers thought we were the defenders of Changzhou, vulnerable and would be defeated by them at will. Today I met Lu Jiang, guarding Runzhou, and they would never want to take this city. Don't say this One day, one month, one year, I will also guard Runzhou tightly so that Wu Yue soldiers cannot succeed."

Su Chen said, "Well, persistence is one way. If we can destroy the grain path or other vital gates of the Wuyue soldiers, and turn passive into active, we can also reduce our pressure and speed up the defeat of the enemy."

General Lu Jiang nodded: "Su Supervisor Army, what you said is quite reasonable. Right now, we don't know the granaries of Wuyue soldiers and the weaknesses of the army, so it's not easy to make a move. After a few days after the fight, the scouts and wanderers sent by our army Xiao, if you can find out the lifeblood of Wu Yue soldiers, then you can make targeted calculations."

.........

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle of the city fell into a stalemate, and General Song Chengli continued to invest troops to attack the city gate.

Several princes of Du Yu led their troops to attack the city wall. After several building chariots approached the city wall, they continuously released long boards and put them on the city wall.

"Kill!" These Wuyue soldiers held shields and mo knives, ran through the splint of the columbine cart, jumped to the top of the city, and fought Tang Jun in close quarters.

As soon as they confronted each other, they almost didn't use martial arts skills, but rushed desperately. They had to break through a space and give the soldiers who followed behind a combat area before they really started fighting together with their weapons.

Puff puff...the blade, the spear tip, and the sword glow converged together, slashing and killing each other.

Within a few breaths, there were almost a dozen people, dozens of people killed or were killed, the blood splashed, sprayed on each other's face, armor, and sprinkled on the ground, it was simply a killing field.

This is a tough battle, and the final victory or defeat depends only on the strength and morale of the two sides. The soldiers fight with momentum, and whoever shows weakness first will die first.

The tangy blood stimulated the killing intent in the soldiers' chests, killing people like a demon, and marching forward bravely.

However, the number of Wuyue soldiers who rushed to the top of the city was too small. Even if dozens of people jumped to the top of the city, or climbed up the top of the city through ladders, they were quickly overwhelmed by the Tang army, and their bodies were picked up and fell off the city wall. .

Even so, the soldiers of Wu and Yue continued to rush forward one after another. Whether they were climbing the ladder or passing through the columbine cart, the soldiers who came over were desperately rushing to kill.

At the city gate, Wu Yue soldiers were pushing their chariots and hitting the city gate.

Inside the city gate, the Tang army relied on layers of stone slabs and wooden pegs to secure the city gate and prevent Wu Yue soldiers from succeeding.

In an instant, shouts and charges were everywhere at the top of the city and at the city gate, and the deaths continued to increase.

But in contrast, more and more Wu Yue soldiers were injured. Because of the advantage of the city, Tang Jun's casualty rate was only a quarter of that of Wu Yue soldiers.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk, but it didn't take any advantage, and even the casualties were not light.

Song Chengli's face was gloomy, his eyes were like torches, he stared at Runzhou Chengqiang, and reluctantly issued an order to withdraw the troops.

The golden gong retreated, and after the sound of the gong, Bao Zhi, the vanguard general, realized that today's siege had failed to achieve his goal, and the promise he had made in front of the commander had not been fulfilled.

The Wuyue soldiers in the front were relieved when they heard the sound of the golden gong and the order to withdraw the troops. Some even dropped some equipment in their hands and started to retreat, for fear that they would not be able to retreat and not shoot here.

"The Wuyue soldiers retreated, and we repelled the Wuyue people."

Tang Jun on the top of the city, seeing Wu Yue's soldiers and horses receding like a tide, all smiled and cheered.

Today, the city was defended, and it was a breath of steam. After all, there were thousands of corpses under the city, most of them were the corpses of the enemy.

Seeing that Wu Yuebing had retreated, General Lu Jiang, Governor Wang Yuechao and others on the tower also breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Wu Yuebing wanted to take down Runzhou in one go, but the morale of the current Tang army is still there, and it has not been defeated by Wu Yuebing's vigor. He was intimidated by the sharpness, so he repelled them.

General Lu Jiang said: "Send people to clean up the corpses, treat the wounded, and then count the number of people to see how many casualties our army has suffered. As for the enemy's corpses, they will all be cleared out, and Wu Yue soldiers will be given a deadline to come and collect the corpses. The dead are the most important, not all innocent soldiers, after dying in battle, they should all be respected."

Everyone was silent, and they agreed with Lu Jiang's statement, and felt that it was more benevolent and not extreme, and it could also reduce the hostility of the enemy.
