My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 620 Anxiety
"kill--"

"Samos, get back off!"

Dense figures spread across the ground, and the surging sea of ​​people rushed towards the city wall in front. In the sky were arrows shot from the Sakpruts on the other side of the city wall. The wolf riders and Mongolian light cavalry kept running under the city wall, shooting at the barbarian archers who dared to show their heads.

The sound of war drums from the Qin King's battle array during the Tang Dynasty still continues.

After receiving the emperor's order, the Xiliang army had already climbed the ladders. The Samos consciously retreated to the sides and subconsciously raised their shields to their heads to block the falling arrows for the Seres army.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army climbed the ladders nimbly with the blades of their swords in their mouths. They were all very experienced veterans, and they swayed their bodies from time to time while climbing, trying their best to avoid the arrows and javelins.

When they approached the parapet, the Xiliang soldiers took out the crossbows hanging on their waists, and fired at the barbarian soldiers who had half of their bodies sticking out with one hand.

Short spears and javelins flew over, and a continuous stream of crossbow arrows also shot onto the top of the city wall.

"Barbarians——"

Guo Si dodged the thrown spear by turning his head, and approached the parapet. He took out the ring-handled sword from his mouth, kicked his feet hard, jumped up with a shout, and chopped down the nearest Sakprut soldier with the blade in his hand.

The soldier raised his shield to block, but the moment the blade hit his shield, he and his shield were chopped away.

"Xiliang boy!"

Guo Si landed on the top of the city wall, picked up a shield on the ground, and blocked several spears that were thrusting at him. With a "bang bang" sound, he slapped the shield in his hand, followed by a thunderous shout.

"——Capture the city!"

The next second, more and more figures climbed the ladders and jumped onto the wall. The Xiliang soldiers holding swords and shields hid half of their bodies behind the shields. The moment they jumped off the parapet, they followed Guo Si and crashed into the gun formation of the Sakpruit soldiers on the opposite side.

The shields flapped open with a crackling sound, knocking the opposing spears aside and knocking them away.

Spears were like a forest, being squeezed to and fro by shields in the hands of the resisting Sakpruit soldiers. Facing the mad tiger-like Seres army, the Sakpruit soldiers on the opposite side were completely crushed by their momentum. The moment the enemy rushed in, they pushed them back frantically with their shields.

This was the first time they encountered such an army that was charging madly and continuously and had great battlefield skills. However, at this moment, the Xiliang soldiers pushed their shields into the gun formation and did not give the Western soldiers any chance to react.

In this moment of squeezing, the shields were pushed, and the left hand raised the knife and slashed forward madly. Pieces of knife light cut through, blood burst and splattered, and the whole thing was filled with heart-pounding sounds.

Afterwards, more Xiliang soldiers from the rear gained a foothold at several sections of the city wall.

"Hold the formation steady, take up your shields and escort the people behind you—" Guo Si retreated from the front line, shouting and giving orders to the soldiers around him: "...Everyone, stay together, follow me, and move closer to General Xu."

Xu Chu was at the left section of the city wall at this time, and was almost out of touch with the Xiliang soldiers following behind him. He wielded a tiger-head knife and slashed at the crowd as he walked. When he came to his senses, he was already in the middle of a heavy crowd, with only a few personal guards around him.

He was surrounded by Sakpruit soldiers, who threw spears at him and stabbed him with guns.

The surrounded Xu Chu swept around with his tiger-head knife, blocking the dozen or so spears that were stabbing at him. His fat body nimbly turned half a circle and slashed at the crowd with his knife.

"Death to the barbarians!"

Secret Technique: Tiger Crazy!
The terrifying sword energy instantly cut three grooves in the crowd, and the warm blood made the sword energy visible to the naked eye.

However, although the Sakpruit soldiers were frightened, they did not retreat. Faced with such a terrifying general, Ceres, they rushed forward even more desperately.

The shouts of killing became more frenzied, and the clash of weapons became more and more crazy, making everyone on this section of the city wall feel as if they were in hell.

Rows of shouting Sakpruit soldiers rushed up, while Xu Chu, who was in the middle, holding a tiger-head knife, and several bodyguards around him, covered each other and stood firm among the crowd on this section of the city wall.

……

The brutal fighting on the city wall was still going on. Sakprut from the Samo Palace stood outside the hall. The scorching sunlight shone on his face. There was silence.

The sounds of weapons and people shouting on the south wall can be clearly heard from here.

"The army of the Seris has been fighting for a whole morning, and they are not tired at all!" Sakprut looked to the south and sighed in his heart: "This battle can't be dragged on any longer. Judging from the enemy's posture, they want to break the city today."

Lancelot on the side nodded and said, "This is the best way, Your Majesty! By delaying them on the city wall, the Macedonian Legion and the Second Conqueror Legion will have time to get here."

Sakpruit did not speak, but turned his head and looked to the other side. The Prophet Moses came with several attendants, bringing both bad news and good news to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Percival and his Holy Light Cavalry were killed."

Sakpruit still stood there silently. The disappearance of that cavalry was expected. It was used to test the defense around Emperor Ceres.

At the moment, it seems that there is no way to start with the other emperor.

"Another piece of news?"

"Thunder Knight Bedivere is ready."

After hearing the old man's words, Sakpruit finally had a smile on his face, and he looked towards the faint sound of fighting in the south again.

He raised his hand and waved, "Send Bedivere to the city wall and try the power he got from that old man Ceres!"

At almost the same time, in the field of the tragic battle for the city wall, in the military formation, the bodies of the Sakpruit cavalrymen who had rushed over were being cleared and taken away.

The sounds of fighting and shouting pierced through the sky and came from the other side of the city wall. Su Chen sat back on the tiger-skin chair and wiped the blood off his palms.

Just at this time, several scouts came galloping on horseback from the rear, their bodies were covered in blood, and one of them had two arrows stuck in his back.

When they arrived here, they hurriedly dismounted and came to the ancestral coffin carriage.

"Your Majesty, fifty miles to the southeast and southwest, we have spotted the Sakprut army, estimated to be sixty thousand strong on each side, and they are charging towards our rear."

"Two?"

Su Chen frowned. He asked the scouts to bandage the wounds first. His eyes swept across his eye sockets and glanced coldly in the southwest and southeast directions.

"It seems that Sakpruit has made up his mind to pin us here."

An Lushan, who had never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, came over rubbing his hands and said, "Your Majesty, let me go to fight these barbarians. This will also let Your Majesty see that I, a loyal minister, am still capable."

He deliberately emphasized that the word "loyal minister" is not only humorous, but also implies that Su Chen can not only be a loyal minister, but also has strong abilities.

At this moment, another scout came running towards this side.

"His Majesty!"

The scout jumped on his horse and rushed over in a hurry: "The barbarians who were defeated before are coming again. When Marquis Wen heard the news, he led his cavalry to fight."

Rout?

Carthaginian Army?!

Su Chen frowned immediately. It turned out that these famous generals and commanders who were roaming the West were not so easy to be defeated and retreated.

Right now, Lu Bu is being pinned down, and there are two Sakprut armies behind him. At that time, in addition to An Lushan, Xiang Yu's Julu Lie will have to be sent out. This is still not enough to repel the other side, but he is still attacking the city and cannot spare more troops.

The only option was to ask Subutai to allocate half of his Mongolian light cavalry to support the three routes.

The moment Su Chen was thinking carefully, in the sight of him and everyone on the field, a flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, streaking out a winding and twisted electric snake, and banged down on the top of the city.

Then there was a huge rumbling sound of thunder.

There were sudden shouts and cries from the city wall, as well as screams from the Xiliang soldiers. Su Chen looked at the bluish-white electric light covering the top of the city wall, and his heart was inevitably filled with even greater confusion.

Where did the thunder come from?
"Is... there trouble?" Su Chen murmured, his tone a little serious.

Sure enough, not long after, scouts from the front sent back news that it was a Sakprut general who, like the national teacher Zhang Jue, could control the heavenly thunder.

At this time, on the city wall, the Xiliang army and the Samos, who had originally stood firmly on the wall, were beaten back step by step.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

The other side had the help of heavenly thunder, so Su Chen had to order the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw.

Not only did this side receive the news, but Sakprut in the Samo Palace also received news from the other side of the city wall that Bedivere had repelled the army of Ceres.

Sakpruit was not surprised by this message. After all, this was something the Prophet Moses had been preparing for a long time, and now it finally paid off. At this moment, a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, there are enemies on three sides. No matter how big the army of Seres is, it will be difficult to resist the encirclement. This is why I want to contain Emperor Seres in Harabitos. Now let's see how he can continue to fight! Haha!"

A servant came over and poured a small glass of wine for the laughing Sakprut. The emperor raised the glass and saluted to the south: "Thank God!"

……

The sky gradually darkened, and the city wall where the fighting was taking place fell into a busy and silent state. The Sakpruit soldiers who were dealing with corpses and cleaning up the blood would occasionally look outside the city. In the distant darkness, there was the lingering flames of the Seres camp.

Thirty miles outside the city.

Piles of bonfires were burning in the huge camp that stretched for more than 20 miles. Soldiers covered in blood sat by the bonfires, telling their comrades who did not go up to the city walls about the tragic siege that took place during the day.

In the camp, Su Chen, dragging his cloak, led Dian Wei and Xu Chu from the front camp to the back camp. The camp was full of wounded soldiers, some of whom had already died due to the shortage of medicine.

Looking at the wounded and corpses all over the ground, Su Chen left in silence. He did not return to the general's tent to talk to Han Xin, but sent Wu Zixun to tell the other side to keep the troops in place for the time being.

The two Western barbarian legions in the south were left to him to deal with.

Soon, Su Chen came to the ancestral coffin carriage. In the night, he entered the carriage, lit a stick of incense, inserted it in the incense burner, and his eyes swept across the spirit tablets, finally stopping on the spirit tablet at the top.

"Your Majesty, I would like to borrow troops from you."
