Chapter 75 Jushou Bloody Battle at the South City Gate (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)

Jing County is a small city, and there is no moat. There is only a small groove outside the city wall, which was made to prevent rainwater from soaking the wall. After several years of drought, the dust has almost buried it.

But today, it has rediscovered its existence.

Under the city wall of the south gate, corpses piled up like a mountain, and all the blood flowed into the trough, forming a bright red blood trough.

The yellow turban soldiers climbed up one by one along the ladder. The climbers were extremely cautious, not only looking at the rocks above, but also beware of the cold arrows from the flanks, which would hit someone unexpectedly from time to time.

The corpses had piled up so much that the lower part of the ladder was firmly stuck. The ladder was more stable than ever, and the defenders had given up trying to prop it up because it couldn't be lifted at all.

The yellow turban soldiers climbed quickly, and there was no retreat at all.

Lu Gong held the battle in person, and he had an order first: "Anyone who retreats, beheaded! And execute the family members!"

The Yellow Turbans charged step by step, hundreds of them rushed up, Lu Gong had already forgotten which wave of attack this was, he knew that his side had suffered heavy casualties, and he also knew that the defenders of Jing County were also at the end of their strength.

The Yellow Turban Army with several ladders has already killed the city wall, and they can fight back and forth with the guards on the city wall. Although the situation has not been opened, it should be soon.

The defenders must have a limit, and he no longer needs a reserve team at this moment. By tomorrow, General Tiangong will give him 2 people, and it will be easy to win Jingxian County.

"Go on! Don't give the officials a chance to breathe!" Lu Gong shouted.

On the city wall, Jushou swung his sharp sword horizontally to block the climber's jump and chop. With a "clang", he took two steps back, stopped immediately, and slashed the second sword at the yellow scarf who was squatting inertially. When the Yellow Turban soldiers rise up, his head has already moved.

Another head popped out from the ladder and quickly climbed up. Ju Shou was about to cut it, but was snatched away by a long spear. The long spear directly pierced the yellow scarf soldier's face, causing him to fall.

"Jugong, retreat quickly, I'm here!" A spearman quickly stepped up to hold the ladder here.

Ju Shou took two steps back, and seeing another yellow scarf running up the city wall not far away, he immediately rushed over with his sword.

As he was walking, he saw figures jumping out from the steps of the city wall, they were clearly spearmen from the east gate.

"What happened to the east gate, why did you come here!" Ju Shou asked sharply.

The spearmen ran over and said: "Don't worry, Ju Gong, the enemy at the east gate has retreated!"

"Retired? Why?"

"Army Gan Lai thought of a way and left all their ladders under the city. Without the ladders, they had no choice but to retreat!"

"If we retreat, the enemy in the east will return to the south, and the south wall will be in danger." Ju Shou said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ju. I just passed the city gate, and the bottom has been sealed tightly, and the bandits can't get in."

"I only regret that I didn't have enough time to prepare. It's still difficult to defend the city with mere stones and bows and arrows. I'm willing to find a way!"

"Mr. Gan's strategy is really good. There are no casualties at the east gate. The spearmen and archers have already arrived."

While speaking, people rushed up the stairs continuously.

"Soldiers, change defenses, take a break, and check your injuries!" Ju Shou shouted immediately.

The new infantry took their places, and the archers couldn't pull the strings any longer, giving way to the newcomers. They all retreated to the back wall and rested on the ground.

The wounded were checking their own injuries, while the uninjured were panting heavily, staring blankly at the comrades who fell to the ground.

On the front line of the city wall, more than a hundred people have died, and most of the others are more or less wounded.

"Gan Lai! Why are you here! That East Gate!"

Jushou watched Gan Lai come up from the stairs.

"The east gate is fine. I'll ask someone to keep an eye on it. If something happens, we'll have time to help you." Gan Lai said, walking up to Jushou, seeing the blood stains all over his body, the long sword had a gap, "I'll go to the east gate. On the way, I saw a kind of long pole, which is very good against ladders, so I should send some over here."

He looked at the fallen sergeant and echoed his battle experience with Liu Qing. This time the casualties should be the biggest.

"Has the Yellow Turban attacked like this from the beginning?" Gan Lai asked.

"Yes!" Ju Shou said, "Never stopped."

"They are trying to exhaust us with their lives. I suspect that there must be a large army behind them. If we don't see them today, maybe we will go to Jingxian City tomorrow. Otherwise, he will definitely not attack unreservedly today." Gan Lai analyzed.

Jushou looked solemn, looking at the hard-working fighters in front of him, the defenders certainly had an advantage, the casualties of the attackers were several times or even ten times higher than their own, but they couldn't hold back the fact that they had so many families.

What the Yellow Turban Army lacks most is people.

"If you really can't defend, you can only choose to retreat instead of sitting and waiting for death. My lord has managed to save up this little property, so I can't fight it all!" Jushou said lightly.

Gan Lai nodded, the purpose of controlling Jing County is to defend the grain road, counting the days, it may take some time for the grain transport team to return, and the future battle situation is still unknown.

He thought for a while, and comforted him: "The lord said before, the survival power in wartime is the foundation of a general, not the gains and losses of a city or a pool. Even if you retreat, the lord will understand."

"Although there is a way out, you and I should do our best!" Ju Shou said.

Then the two were silent for a long time, watching the bloody battle close at hand, Ju Shou felt that it was almost time to rest, so he left the state of leaning against the wall, raised his sword again, and shouted, "Soldiers, change defense and rest!"

The yellow turbans climbed up continuously, and the defenders of the city were replaced again and again. Most of the archers had no arrows. They also picked up the weapons dropped by the yellow turbans and guarded behind the infantry. The strength is good, at least it can make up for the front row or something, so that they can face the enemy above with peace of mind.

……

Night falls.

Under the city, in the Yellow Turban Army, the expressions of several commanders were gloomy, because some of them were already polished commanders at this moment.

5000 people, 6000 people, or even more, will never come back.

"Shuai Qu, I'm afraid we won't be able to take down this city. If General Tiangong knows that we are so frustrated..."

Lu Gong's expression was light, and he didn't feel frustrated at all, so what if there are 5000 people and 6000 people, as long as the goal of General Tiangong is completed, even if all 1 people are paid, it is worth it!
"Everyone, don't worry, once you wake up, you will be the commander of the army again!" Lu Gong laughed.

"What does Qu Shuai mean by that?"

"Don't ask too much, you will know tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, when the leaders left the camp, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Soldiers, black and full of soldiers, yellow banners covering the sky, fluttering against the morning wind.

At this moment, they understood what Qu Shuai said last night, and when they woke up, they would be the commanders of the army again.

"Everyone, I'm right. General Tiangong has already made an arrangement. The county annals are bound to be won. General Tiangong also said that officials and thieves care so much about Jingxian, so there must be actions around here. Those who are killed will be killed!" Lu Gong has already started to arrange the arrangements after breaking the city.

Passing by the county seat, looking at the black people in the enemy camp, Ju Shou's expression lost the solemnity of yesterday.

"It seems that the yellow turban thieves don't even give us a chance to resist." Ju Shou said, an enemy of such scale can only retreat according to the plan.

"Gan Lai, give the order to retreat. There is no room for luck in this matter. The defense of the city is still a failure. It's a pity that the three hundred soldiers who died!"

"Gan Lai?"

"Ju Gong, look at that!"
