Horse on the World

Chapter 717
Bundles of ignited firewood were thrown onto the city, and the entire city wall was on fire. Although a large amount of sand and stones were prepared, it was far from enough to extinguish the fire under such a dry and hot sun. The combination of scorching flames and venomous sunlight made the defenders on the city feel as if they were in a furnace. Some things like chili powder were added to it, which made people's eyes burn even more, tears flowed, and it was difficult to open them.

However, the enemy army is constantly coming up along the ladder ants. Every time the huge bumper hits, the entire city wall trembles, as if it will collapse in the next moment. Many sections of the city wall have been cracked by huge stones. The stacks have already collapsed. Zunhua is not a big city after all. It is just a wall made of earth, and then covered with a thin layer of green bricks. Now the green bricks in many places have been smashed to pieces, exposing the mud inside. Embryo.

Both Qian Duo and Tian Chong were stripped naked and only wore a pair of shorts. Their bodies were covered with black dust, blood splashed on them, and then condensed into pieces, strips, except for the occasional white of the eyes, only the teeth remained. It's white.

He cut off a pair of hands climbing up the city wall with a knife, and heard the man screaming and falling down the city, Tian Chong turned his head and glanced at Qian Duo beside him, this guy was panting like a cow, sweating profusely to wash away the soot on his body One after another, there are black things piled up in the meat pocket on the stomach, and they are slashing wildly with a knife.

Tian Chong thinks that people are sometimes really inexplicable things. He has been in Qingyang County for so long, and he is used to seeing that guy who always smiles, has no principles at all, and looks useless. He has become vigorous, and has become his effective comrade-in-arms, which really made him very emotional.

"Is Chong Guan a beauty?" Tian Chong thought self-righteously.

As if aware that Tian Chong was looking at him, Qian Duo turned around, Chong Tian Chong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Old Tian, ​​we are going to die here!" Qian Duo's voice was crying, "I am in Qingyang The money, as well as the beauty, will definitely be robbed by the bastard Liao Bin, and I haven't had time to dig his ancestral grave!"

"Fuck you!" Tian Chong said angrily.He stabbed an enemy with a knife, "If you have this thought, kill a few more enemies, maybe you still have a chance to go to Quanzhou."

Qian Duo grinned, and rammed a guy who had just climbed up. He was about to say something, but Tian Chong uttered a scream, "Old Qian, be careful!" From the other side, a soldier from Minzhou rushed He popped his head out of the ground, and stabbed Qianduo with a knife.

With a sound, the knife that was sure to be won was abruptly blocked from the side, and then a hand rushed up to grab the man's hair. The knife flashed, and a head was held in the hand, and blood spurted out. With Qian Duo all over his body, he washed away a lot of black ash, and Le Buping casually threw his head outside the city, "Be careful, my lord!"

Qian Duo became angry from embarrassment, "Damn, I want you to teach me!" After a pause, he continued: "But thank you!"

Le Buping grinned, and charged forward again with the knife in hand.

On the tower, Xu Kexing held a mace, "Master Long, I'm going down to fight too!"

Long Xiaotian nodded, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. General Xu, I will beat the drum for you!"

Xu Kexing nodded, turned around and walked under the tower. Halfway there, he heard the sound of desolate battle drums above the tower. He couldn't help turning his head. At the waist, a bony body was exposed, and two thin arms were holding the drumstick, gritting their teeth, and beating vigorously.

"There are heroes among scholars!" Xu Kexing exclaimed.

The battle has lasted for more than ten days, and there are not many left of the original [-] young and strong. Although the two sides are generally equal in number, and the Dingzhou side still has a strong city as a cover, the huge difference in combat power and combat experience has obliterated All their advantages, especially when the enemy breaks up the city wall, the gap becomes even more obvious. Often ten enemies come up, and the cost of annihilating him is several times the number of lives here.

Sometimes, blood and courage alone cannot solve the problem.

The army that Qingyang had withdrawn had less than 100 people left at this time. Xu Kexing knew that Zunhua would not be able to hold on anymore. With direct contact, a massacre is inevitable.

But the people who flocked to Zunhua refused to retreat, especially when Liao Bin took hundreds of young men captured on the battlefield to the city, flayed and gouged out their hearts in public, and executed them by torture. Sometimes there is only a fine line between great fear and great courage.

That being the case, get ready for street fighting!After Xu Kexing arranged everything, he took up the knife and went into battle in person. At this time, he no longer thought about the consequences of the enemy breaking through Zunhua. the head of an enemy.

Liao Bin and Zhang Liang didn't have a good face either. Although more and more soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, the enemy had not collapsed and was still desperately resisting. After blocking for more than ten days, he pretended to be an elite, but was blocked by a group of farmers who had never been on the battlefield and only held kitchen knives and hoes in their hands. Both of them were shameless. This battle was won There is no glory at all.

Liao Bin was in a bad mood.

The huge slammed into the city gate again and again, with a loud noise, the overwhelmed gate finally collapsed under the continuous beating, and the soldiers on the city had no way to attack the soldiers who rammed the city. Let them have time to continue the collision. As soon as the city gate opened, the cavalry under Zhang Liang's command who had been waiting for a long time cheered, rushed out, and rushed into Zunhua along the wide-open city gate. Zunhua City was finally captured breach.

"Retreat, withdraw to the city, fight house by house, every inch of land must be fought!" Seeing the cavalry rushing in, Xu Kexing gave orders loudly, and he even took the lead, holding a mace and opening the way ahead.

When Zhang Liang and Liao Bin entered Zunhua City, half of Zunhua City had already been turned into a sea of ​​flames. Not far away, the sound of fighting was still heard clearly in their ears. It was obvious that the enemy's resistance was still not over.

"Shuai Liao, we have already controlled half of Zunhua City. The enemy retreated to Zunhua Government Office, Xuezheng Street, Confucius Temple and other places to continue to resist. Our army is attacking fiercely."

Liao Bin sullenly said, "Have Xu Kexing found the enemy chief Long Xiaotian? By the way, there's that damn money?"

The visitor shook his head, "No."

Zhang Liang sighed: "These guards are all ordinary people in the whole prefecture. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Li Qing gave them. They knew that they would die, but they still desperately resisted?"

Liao Bin's face seemed to be dripping water. Zhang Liang said this in front of him, the former commander-in-chief of Quanzhou who had ruled Quanzhou for more than ten years. In fact, he gave him a loud slap.

"Pass my general order, massacre the city!"

The visitor looked up at Liao Bin in surprise, but when he saw Liao Bin's face, he immediately lowered his head, "Yes!"

The battle is still going on, one house after another is set ablaze, and from time to time someone rushes out of the flames and fights with Minzhou soldiers on the street. Many people are still burning with flames, but they still rush out desperately, trying to hug their opponents and perish together. , Many Minzhou soldiers were trapped by these fire men, screaming and turning on the ground.

There are obstacles all over the street. This is Xu Kexing's last order. The obstacles effectively slow down the advancing speed of the cavalry, which allows the resisters to fight against the cavalry. From time to time, cavalry can be seen being killed by the barricades or the houses on both sides. Suddenly attacked and fell off the horse.

Although the minzhou soldiers broke through the city, they were entangled in the street fighting in a hurry. No one knew if a cold arrow would suddenly be shot in the ruins. No one knew the blood-stained person who seemed to be hiding on the ground Will he suddenly get up and give them a knife?

The street fighting that lasted for almost two hours made these Minzhou soldiers also start to fear. The joy after breaking the city was gone at this time. They once saw the young man in his sixties rushing with his hand on the door latch, and the woman with a weak spear raised his hand. He rushed up with a kitchen knife and saw that the man who had lost his legs was hugging his companion's legs with all his strength, just to bite him.

When they met a group of lunatics who were even crazier than they were, they hesitated.

Long Xiaotian was sitting in the government office. At this time, he had already put on his official uniform. Although it was already tattered and messy, even the colors could not be distinguished. The whole hat was as stable as Mount Tai.After the city was broken, he was dragged desperately by several personal guards and ran back to the mansion. At this time, the mansion was already full of firewood, covered with grease, and Long Xiaotian was waiting for the last moment.

Shirtless Qian Duo sat on the threshold. During the fierce battle, he and Tian Chong were also separated. After arriving at the government office, he found a well and finally washed himself clean, revealing his flesh. After a few days of exposure to the sun, it has turned into a bronze color. Of course, there are also scorched black. Luckily, the money has been poured so far. Except for a yin and yang head shaved, there is still no scar on the body.

Seeing Long Xiaotian sitting there steadily, waving his brush like flying, as if he was writing a suicide note, he couldn't help saying loudly: "Master Long, let's change the way of death. I will stab you, and you will stab me. How happy the death is!" , This arson and self-immolation, how painful it is!" Shrinking his neck, he said: "You are planning to set yourself on fire again, what are you writing about, the fire will be wiped out!"

Long Xiaotian smiled, "It's not like I'm writing a suicide note, I'm just practicing handwriting, just to calm my mind."

Qian Duo snorted coldly, he was about to die, why should he be calm, walked back to the threshold with the knife in his hand and sat down, lamenting, "My beauty, my silver!"

Long Xiaotian glanced at Qian Duo rather strangely, but couldn't see that this tired guy seemed to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he was still calm at the last moment. At this moment, he still felt sorry for his beautiful woman Yin Zi , but it can be regarded as unrepentant, Huan Xin is still the same.

The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, Long Xiaotian kept waving his wrist, but Qian Duo actually started snoring.
