The enemy troops at the west city gate saw the signal that should come from inside the city, and rushed towards the city gate with confidence. When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city gate was still closed. They realized that something was wrong. It was not that they had not thought of evacuating quickly, but they had a little luck. , maybe the other party's response has been hindered and needs to be given a little more time. The fierce attack at the east gate, the harassment at the south gate and the north gate were just to leave this empty gate, and the inside should cooperate with the outside to attack suddenly.
Just such a trace of luck, such a hesitation, the arrows rained down from the top of the city like locusts.
The enemy troops were unobstructed and within shooting range, so they suddenly became living targets. If you reacted quickly, you could still block a few arrows. You turned your horse around and wanted to retreat, but a piece of it had fallen behind, blocking the way. , coupled with the dense rain of arrows, wave after wave, giving no chance to breathe at all. In a short time, all five hundred cavalry were killed under the city. Even if they were not completely dead, they were just alive.
He Lianjing looked at the battle situation below the city. He did not get carried away and did not clean the battlefield. There were still many enemy soldiers hidden in the darkness in the distance. It was absolutely impossible for the opponent to send only a few hundred cavalry. As soon as the city gate was opened, the follow-up troops would follow. They must come in droves.
All he can do is to close the city gate tightly and defend to the death, as long as he can hold on.
The siege battle also fell into a stalemate, and the battle in the palace entered the most brutal fight.
One thousand against six hundred, it can barely be called an advantage. However, the opponent's master is too powerful, and his sword moves are superb. Six people entangled Xia Chunyu and Naya, and four people swung their swords to attack the iron stab array, only to tear a hole. the trend of.
This battle can be said to be the most difficult and dangerous battle among the hundreds of battles that Xia Chunyu has experienced.
Being besieged by three masters, the opponents cooperated tacitly and attacked from the top, middle and bottom. They advanced and retreated in a controlled manner. There was never a battle that made Xia Chunyu feel that death would come at any time.
But the more dangerous the moment, the more it stimulates the fighting spirit in his heart, and he becomes more willing to fight. He abandons all distracting thoughts and pays close attention to the opponent's moves, trying to find flaws in them.
Naya next to her was also unstoppable, her swords were like swimming dragons, she was able to deal with the three of them with ease, and she did not lose at all.
Yu Hai felt heavy. Damn it, where could a female evil star be so powerful? The original plan was three against one, or even four against one. It was no problem to capture Xia Chunyu, and the other masters were responsible for the attack. The so-called invincible guard camp, in the face of absolute force, was not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. ? As a result, a female evil star appeared halfway and disrupted the plan.
No, these two people must be dealt with first.
Yu Hai issued an order, asking the four masters responsible for the attack to turn around and attack Xia Chunyu first.
However, the four masters were surrounded by the guards. Everyone was desperate and used their own flesh and blood to prevent the masters from breaking through. For a moment, blood spattered and broken limbs flew around. It was so tragic that it was indescribable, but no one backed away. , taking a step back is death, and taking a step forward is also death, so they would rather die vigorously. If their blood can add hope to victory, then it will be a worthy death.
Xia Chunyu knew that the battle situation was unprecedentedly cruel. How many brothers fell, and how many brothers came after him. Each and every one of them was his own soldier. They chatted and spanked together, drank and ate meat together, and all the familiar smiling faces could only be seen in the future. Become a memory.
Xia Chunyu's heart was bleeding and his anger was burning. These were his good brothers, comrades who had gone through life and death, and tough men. They best interpreted the word hero with their passion.
It is easy to live an ignoble life, but to die generously.
Yes, they are all heroes.
Xia Chunyu shouted loudly, turned his wrist, and wielded a sharp sword, switching from defense to offense. After a few rounds, he had figured out his opponent's weaknesses, spotted the right opportunity, and tried to end the fight as soon as possible.
A ray of sword light flashed, pointing directly at Xia Chunyu's left shoulder, but Xia Chunyu did not evade, and slashed at the other opponent with the force of the long sword. This was the only chance to trade his injury for his life.
Boom, the sharp sword blade stabbed Xia Chunyu's left shoulder. At the same time, Xia Chunyu's long knife also hit the neck of another opponent. Following the direction of the knife, he turned his backhand and the long knife sank into the enemy's body behind him. On the abdomen, there was a cross-piercing.
In just a moment, only one of the three masters was left. Xia Chunyu ignored the blood flowing from his left shoulder and continued to use all his strength to kill the last master without losing his power.
The siege was broken, and the remaining masters were no match for Xia Chunyu. They were killed by Xia Chunyu in just two rounds.
At the same time, Naya also ended the battle, and she was also stained.
"Can you still hold on?" The two quickly met, back to back.
Naya said disapprovingly: "It's just a small injury."
Xia Chunyu looked at this woman with admiration. Her skills were slightly better than his own, and she was indeed extremely powerful.
When Naya offered to help, he was still a little disdainful. Unexpectedly, she really helped a lot. If Naya hadn't been there tonight, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to handle it alone.
"Be careful, otherwise I won't be able to explain to He Lianxuan." Xia Chunyu warned.
Naya said calmly: "You should take care of yourself first! Don't forget that you still have a wife and son."
Mentioning Yaoyao and his unborn child, Xia Chunyu felt warm in his heart. He would not die so easily. He promised Yaoyao that he would reunite with her alive. He and Yaoyao would welcome a new life together. They still have a lot of time left. Long and beautiful years to spend together.
While talking, the two men had already killed several enemy soldiers each.
"We all want to live. There are four masters left. How about it? Three for me and one for you?" Xia Chunyu said in a relaxed tone.
"Bullshit, am I worse than you? Two for each person, let's see who gets it first." Naya said disdainfully.
After saying that, he jumped up and rushed towards the target.
Xia Chunyu was stunned, he was so tough, he couldn't lose to a woman, otherwise he would be ridiculed by He Lianxuan for the rest of his life. This guy came too slowly, and he couldn't even make it in time.
Immediately, the cold light in the tiger's eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit, turning into a ferocious lion, charging towards his target with an unstoppable momentum.
At the east city gate, the main battlefield, ladders were set up on the towering city wall. Waves of soldiers came up and were knocked down again. However, there were ladders everywhere, enemies everywhere, and the soldiers defending the city also suffered heavy casualties.
Everyone's hearts have become numb, and they only know how to kill the enemy with their swords. Killing one is enough to earn a life, killing a pair is enough to earn a life.
The prince was sitting in the temporary command camp closest to the city gate.
As bad news came one after another, he remained calm. The courtiers around him had repeatedly advised him to evacuate, but he remained calm.
This is a battle of life and death. If he retreats, people's hearts will inevitably be scattered. When the time comes, the city will collapse without attack. Even if the city is destroyed, even if he hides underground, he will be dug out. So what is there to hide
There is no safe place in Jinling City. It is better to live and die here with all the soldiers.
If there is no way out, then give it a go and fight to the last man.
The ministers looked at the prince's firm and cold eyes, and saw his determination to die generously. They all sighed silently. At the same time, they admired the prince in their hearts. He had always been gentle and elegant, but he also had such perseverance that he would rather die than surrender. This was their reason. Another side that I have never seen.
Ye Jiayao's eyelids kept twitching tonight, which made her very uneasy. She knew that the enemy had broken through the defense line of the northwest camp.
Thousands of horses galloped past, and even if you were hiding in such a deep underground chamber, you could feel the earth shaking.
Jinling City is finally facing its greatest crisis.
And her Chunyu, as well as countless people she cared about, were still in the city and were besieged.
As the imperial capital, Jinling City's walls are not weak, but even if they are impregnable, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is huge. Even a wheel battle will bring down the defenders. It is only a matter of time.
Can you hold on until reinforcements arrive
However, what Ye Jiayao is most worried about is civil strife. Chunyu, you must live well and live well. I can't live without you, and our children can't live without their father.
Yes, I am very strong. I have lived in two lives and am not afraid of anything.
But I'm not strong enough to lose you yet.
If I hadn’t met you, my heart would have been as hard as iron. However, destiny has allowed me to meet you. My heart is no longer my own. If you are gone, my heart will be gone. Without you, my heart will be as hard as iron. What else in life is worth missing
So, Chunyu, you must do well...
In Prince Yu's palace, Prince Yu was irritable as never before, and the development of the situation was completely off the preset track.
The Fifth Emperor's uncle was still unable to break through the city. Apparently something happened to him.
There has been no good news from the palace for a long time, which shows that the success was not successful.
He has invested everything he has, including three hundred dead men, all of which have been allocated to Yu Hai, as well as the manpower arranged by Zuo Qingyun...
Why? It is obvious that victory is certain.
The quicksand in the bell clock keeps passing by, time is passing by, and the sky is about to break.
Is victory waiting for him or complete defeat
A glorious life or a useless death
At this moment, these two questions truly became questions in King Yu's heart, turning into a question mark.
This made him feel more solemn than ever before.
The dawn finally broke through the sky, and the war that had been burning all night showed no sign of fading. Everyone was fighting for time. For the rebels under the banner of King Qin, every more delay means more danger. For those who hold on to the city, For our soldiers, the more delay, the more hope.
Just when the sun was about to cross the horizon, a rumbling sound came from the sky, like thunder, rolling in.
The soldiers, who were exhausted and almost unable to hold on any longer, looked around with a look of uncertainty in their eyes.
Is it the enemy's reinforcements or our reinforcements
This question is on everyone's mind.
The Fifth Emperor's Uncle also looked at the movement in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but sink. He knew very well that the people who came were definitely not his people. His people would not arrive so quickly, and they would not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
At that time, he should have taken control of the overall situation and could give orders to the world. Anyone who dared to disobey would be killed without mercy.
Then, only his enemies will come.
