retaliate

Chapter 172
At this moment, the city of Zhangyu County has become a Shura field.

The enemy continued to attack the city, because the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy archers who had lost their suppression boldly approached the city and shot arrows directly at the city.

The ladder was erected on the top of the city, creaking, accompanied by a toothache sound, the ladder suddenly sank, and then the enemy soldiers rushed up with an escalator in one hand and a shield in the other, with long knives in their mouths .

After rushing to the top of the city, they kept looking for a breakthrough.

"The enemy has broken through."

"Block it!"

"Long gun."

"help me!"

All kinds of voices are intertwined in the city.

At this moment, Du Hui didn't have any plans, he was just making a decision subconsciously.

"Follow the old man."

After a hard fight with Du Hui and his men, they drove the enemy troops down.

An enemy general grinned at Du Hui when he got off the ladder.

Then he turned over and jumped down easily.

Only then did a row of spearmen stop.

"Shield!"

Someone screamed from the side.

A rain of arrows flew up like this.

The spearmen fell to the ground in the rain of arrows.

Only then did Du Hui realize why the enemy general was grinning at him.

This is a bait, to mobilize the small reserve team under his command, and then cover it with arrow rain.

"alert!"

Du Hui subconsciously judged that the enemy would counterattack immediately.

Squeak!

That familiar voice came.

Du Hui looked at the ladder, and it really sank down suddenly.

There is a long wooden fork on the ground, which is very strong.Du Hui picked it up, put the fork on the ladder, and shouted vigorously: "Quick!"

A sergeant came up behind him, and the two tried their best to go up, but the ladder was trembling, but they couldn't go up.

"Come some people."

Several sergeants dropped their weapons and followed suit.

"Woke up!"

The ladder was propped up and slowly left the city, and the head of the enemy general poked out with a look of astonishment.

"Push hard!"

Du Hui shouted.

The ladder began to stand upright, and then it fell backwards with a slight force.

Amidst the miserable howls, Du Hui propped his hands on his thighs, gasping for breath, sweat dripping freely on his face.

"Bah!"

A ladder climbed to the top of the city again.

Squeak!

The ladder sank sharply.

Du Hui's heart also sank.

Enemy attacks come in wave after wave.

Do not give the defenders a chance to breathe.

"what!"

Xie Ru's roar came from the right.

Two enemy troops rushed to the top of the city and flanked him.

Xie Ru dodged awkwardly under the two long knives, and soon another wound appeared on his body.

"kill!"

A figure rushed over from the side and slashed and killed an enemy.

"Mingfu!"

It was Du Hui who rushed over.

Together, the two drove the enemy away.

"kill!"

The voice was not right, Du Hui turned around and saw several women were assassinating with spears.

woman!

Du Hui's heart skipped a beat.

He roared: "Go back! Go back!"

But no one listened to him, several women teamed up and stabbed an enemy soldier to death, just when they were rejoicing, several enemy soldiers approached with grinning grinning.

"roll!"

Du Hui roared and rushed over, joining forces with several soldiers to defend against the enemy.

"go back!"

This wave of defense is over.

The enemy retreated like a tide.

Du Hui scolded several women: "Women give birth to children, and men protect the family and the country. I will wait for the men to die. Come back later!"

Several women were persuaded to leave.

Du Hui felt exhausted all over his body, he was almost lying on the top of the wall, gasping for breath.

Xie Ru limped over, panting no less than his.

"Alive." Du Hui smiled.

"Yes! That's great." Xie Ru looked greedily into the distance, "I've never felt that the grasslands that I've seen before are so beautiful and full of vitality."

"How many people are left?" Du Hui felt that he no longer had the strength to stand up.

Xie Ru dragged his injured leg to ask.

When he came back later, his expression was as usual.

"Mingfu, there are 600 brothers who can still fight."

Being able to fight does not mean being intact.

Du Hui nodded calmly, "It's almost there."

"Yes!" Xie Ruxue also lay on the top of the wall, feeling relaxed all over, feeling that he had never been so comfortable in his life.

"It's good to be alive." Xie Ru breathed greedily, as if every time was the last time.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it next time." Du Hui said with a smile: "The enemy's sudden withdrawal is not due to timidity. This old man judges that it is preparing for an unprecedentedly powerful attack."

"All out." Xie Ru coughed dryly, feeling a little stuffy in his chest, "Break through the city in one go. That's fine, but..."

He looked to the left, "Has Xuanzhou ever sent reinforcements?"

Du Hui shook his head, "No more."

"Yes!" Xie Ru's sigh was not regret, but a kind of despair from the bottom of his heart.After despair reaches its extreme, it becomes calm.

In the enemy army, Katsuki asked the general who led the team.

"Tang Jun suffered heavy casualties, and our losses are also a lot, almost three thousand."

This loss made Sheng Zhong frowned slightly, but then relaxed, "This price is necessary."

"Yes." The general said, "There are at most five or six hundred people left in the Tang army, and most of them are wounded. By the way, a woman was also found."

"Five to 600 people..." Shan Hu said with a smile: "They have very few archers left. Next time we will cover the city with bows and arrows, and attack the city after a few times to ensure success once."

Ah!
"The women are all here, so it can be seen that the defenders are at the end of their rope." Sheng Zhong also agreed with this point, "Let the warriors prepare."

All enemy troops are preparing.

Sheng Zhong rode his horse and shouted in the crowd: "Warriors, it's time to break the city. Do you want to rob money?"

"miss you!"

"Do you want to sleep with a woman from Tang Dynasty?"

"miss you!"

The shouting was particularly neat this time.

"Do you want to enter the city to kill and loot wantonly?"

"miss you!"

"Then, prepare to break the city!"

Katsura was satisfied to see that the eyes of those warriors were full of desire.

Shanhu said dissatisfied: "You want to massacre the city? Don't forget what happened at the end of the Chen Kingdom."

"What's the matter?" Shengzhong said casually.

Shan Hu said: "Back then, when the Chen Kingdom fell and fell, there was a melee in the Central Plains, and some tribes massacred cities. Exercising the power of the country will also kill every Kibo person."

I actually forgot about it... Shengzhong nodded and shouted: "After entering the city, you must not kill people wantonly."

There was dissatisfaction in the eyes of those warriors.

But Katsura's back was covered with cold sweat.

Fortunately!
He nodded gratefully to Shanhu, "Thanks for your reminder, otherwise I would have made a big mistake today."

Shanhu said: "Just steal their population."

Sheng Zhong said with a smile: "Yes! This is also a different kind of massacre."

"Warriors are ready." Shanhu glanced at the head of the city, "Let me lead the team."

"No, this time I will go in person." Sheng Zhongce stepped forward immediately.

"Set off."

A dense group of enemy troops followed him to the city.

At the top of the city, Du Hui took a deep breath, "Here we come."

Shengzhong shouted: "Three days of attack, you are at the end of your life. If you continue to resist, after the city is broken, you will die without a place to bury."

Kill all the defenders, this is no problem.

Kill some rebellious people, who can say anything?
This is war, Te Niang's can't kill this, can't kill that, and fuck her!
Contempt flashed in Sheng Zhong's eyes, "I'll give you ten breaths of time... will you surrender?!"

He raised his hand, and there were many long knives behind him.

The shouting sounded like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

"Surrender or not!"

"Surrender or not!"

"Surrender or not!"

The top of the city seemed to be swept by a hurricane.

Du Hui supported the wall with both hands, stood up straight, and said to the city:

"Man of the Tang Dynasty, how can you bow your head to the barbarians?"

He raised the horizontal knife.

"Today only the magistrate of Datang died in battle!"

"Don't drop!"

"Don't drop!"

"Don't drop!"

The soldiers straightened up and shouted.

The wounded soldiers either climbed to the top of the city, grabbed the battlements and stood up, or supported each other to stand up.

Everyone knows that the last moment has come.

Sheng Zhong nodded and said with a smile: "So, I will wait for a decent ending for you."

He turned back and said, "After the city is broken, there will be no defenders left. I want Du Hui's head and take it back to make a urinal."

Shanhu shouted: "Siege the city!"

Enemy troops swarmed in.

The only surviving archers put their arrows down desperately, and when the arrows fell, occasionally the enemy fell down, like a small wave rising in the sea, and then disappeared.

"Fire arrows!"

Under the city, enemy archers and hedgehogs gather.

"Shield!"

The people at the head of the city raised their shields and shrank behind the head of the city.

duh duh!
Arrow plowed at the top of the city, and it looked like a newly planted grove.

Puff puff!
Countless ladders are placed on the top of the city.

Squeak squeak!

The sound of stepping on the ladder came densely.

"Fire arrows!"

The second wave of arrow rain strikes again.

The defenders crouched behind the walls, waiting desperately.

"Get up!" Du Hui shouted, and was the first to stand up.

He stabbed the horizontal knife forward vigorously, piercing it through the eye of the newly exposed enemy soldier.

Immediately, the city was in complete chaos.

Xie Ru's hair was disheveled, and he slashed hard.

He looked around desperately, and said, "Mingfu, it's over!"

Enemy troops have surged up in many places.

Couldn't stop.

Du Hui panted, "Martyrdom!"

Xie Ru nodded, "If you die in a fierce battle, even if you go underground, you can still hold your head up when you see your ancestors."

Du Hui slashed vigorously, and then gasped for breath with his sword, "From the beginning of the siege, the old man said that it was impossible for reinforcements to come, but why didn't he look forward to it in his heart. Xuanzhou was too late, the old man thought, then Yang Xuanxing might see that we are the same For the sake of Chen Zhou's lineage, come to help, even if you come to harass me with some light cavalry."

Xie Ru teamed up with him to drive down an enemy soldier who had climbed up to the top of the wall, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to defend the city, at least I have to think about it, this talent will not collapse."

"Yes!" Du Hui said with a calm smile, "It's the last moment, old Xie."

"The officer is here." Xie Ru looked at him.

Du Hui tidied up his clothes, "If the old man is exhausted later, remember to kill the old man."

Xie Ru: "Mingfu can commit suicide."

Du Hui smiled wryly, "I wanted to try it earlier, but I couldn't do it."

Xie Ru: "..."

After a while of slashing, Du Hui shook his head, "It can't be done."

Xie Ru also had sore hands and feet, feeling that a child could kill him at this moment.

"I'm going to see my ancestors."

Du Hui muttered, and straightened his clothes again.

So is Xie Ru.

At this moment, the city is eerily quiet.

The enemy troops temporarily stopped attacking.

"The defenders are broken."

An enemy general said ecstatically: "The city has been broken!"

"The city is broken."

Sheng Zhong said indifferently: "I will review the whole army in the city later."

"Show off your might!" Shanhu's eyes became brighter.

Katsuki tilted his head suddenly, listening to the voice behind him.

A little stuffy.

There are also some inexplicable calls.

"Siege!"

Shan Hu shouted.

Immediately the whole army swarmed up.

"What's the sound?" Shengzhong asked in confusion.

Because the defenders were weak, the enemy camped only three miles away from the city.

The big camp naturally had to be guarded.

The remaining enemy general looked at the galloping five hundred riders and couldn't help sneering, "We have 1000 people here, are they here to die? Formation."

A thousand rides on horses.

"I didn't expect that guarding the camp would be rewarding. It can be seen that God treats me well, hahahaha!"

The guard laughed.

Someone beside him pointed forward, "What is behind Tang Jun?"

"The smoke and dust are rolling in!"

"This is..." The guard looked carefully, "It's a cart, no, those Tang soldiers are lighting the fire. What are they trying to do? No, the food team has been robbed, and they are burning our food and grass. Hurry, hurry up!" Let them go!"

One thousand Jibo troops rushed up like this.

Yang Xuan glanced back, and saw the smoke and dust billowing behind him, and the flames gradually rushed up.Those cows pulling the carts are getting faster and faster...

"accelerate!"

He yelled.

Someone looked back, "They are coming up, run!"

The cart was burning, and the oxen pulling the cart accelerated crazily, and if they didn't speed up, they would be hit.

The two sides are getting closer.

"spread!"

With Yang Xuan's order, the Tang army dispersed from the left and right.

"Quick!" The guard just wanted to divide his troops.

More than [-] carts with fireworks rolled in just like that.

Nan He rode his horse and galloped while looking at the front that was about to collide.

blah blah blah!
The bullock cart crashed into the middle of the enemy army, and there was no feeling of resistance at all, and it just rushed past without any hesitation.

"Combine!"

Yang Xuan formed an formation with his subordinates, and rushed behind the convoy.

There is no need to rush.

A thousand defenders were smashed by bullock carts, and then swept by five hundred Tang troops, and the only remaining troops fled desperately.

The fire ox convoy rushed into the camp.

They charged across the camp, leaving a mess behind them.

Dozens of riders galloped all the way to the enemy army that was besieging the city, and found Shengzhong.

"Tang Jun is here."

Shengzhong asked, "How many people?"

"Five hundred riders!"

Sheng Zhong felt relieved, and then said with a cold face, "Where's the food and grass?"

"It's all lost."

Sheng Zhong scolded: "If you can't break the city at this moment, you will have an unforgivable crime!"

"what is that?"

someone shouted from behind.

"Five hundred Tang troops, a thousand cavalry guarding the camp can deal with them. There is no need to worry. We will deal with them calmly after the city is broken."

"It's on fire!"

Screams from behind interrupted Katsuka's arrangement.

He looked back and saw fireworks in the direction of Daying.

Fireworks rushed out of the camp and rushed towards this side.

"So fast!"

Some people can't help but say.

"what is that?"

Sheng Zhong muttered.

The defenders at the top of the city were also watching.

They are condescending and can see more clearly.

"Yes...it's a cart!"

"It's a big cart on fire!"

"My God, this is... what does this mean?"

Immediately they saw a miracle.

Three hundred fire ox carts rushed into the Jibo army that had just lined up.

unstoppable.

Those cows lowered their heads, and their horns pointed forward, no matter what was in front of them, they would hit them with their horns.

The people and horses were like water, they were rushed in by the three hundred fire ox carts, and the people and horses fell to the ground wherever they passed.

The war horse panicked when it encountered a mad cow, but when it encountered fireworks, it exploded immediately.

The five hundred Tang troops were like a sharp knife, following behind the fire ox cart, scattering and strangling the scattered enemy troops.

"This is... is this the Fire Bull Formation?" The enemy army at the top of the city panicked and was driven down by Du Hui.He lay on the top of the wall and watched the fire ox cart invincible in the enemy formation, and couldn't help saying:

"Five hundred cavalry could not shake the enemy army, so they hijacked the enemy's food truck, drove the cattle on a rampage with a fire, good method, good method!"

Xie Ru admired, "Who is it?"

Five hundred Tang troops rushed to the city.

Du Hui cupped his hands, "Which Gao Yi came to help, Du is very grateful!"

The leading general raised his head.

"Yang Xuan."
