Jiang Shanli fought so hard, how could Liu Wenyuan and Liu Wuchang next to him be timid, they looked at each other, and they both yelled in unison. Liu Wenyuan also pulled out his saber, and Liu Wuchang mentioned it. With the spears, the two rushed to the left and right sides of the city according to Jiang Shanli's instructions. Regardless of their low ranks, their reputation among the defenders is not small, and the command that Jiang Shanli has just called out is very loud. The soldiers on the front of the city listened carefully, and naturally no one would disobey their orders.
The fire that was nailed to the wall was quickly extinguished. Although it was not completely burned out, the debris remaining on the female wall could no longer be used for the original nailing wall. Seeing that the fire had gone out, Yang Lin immediately ordered the soldiers waiting under the city wall to rush up again. However, the fire just now had no effect on Xia Jun. The fire didn't have eyesight, and even the ladders that were erected on the top of the city burned a lot. Xia Jun also had a certain number of Yang Feng's ladders this time. Some of them were burned, but they were temporarily unable to replenish them. As a result, Xia Jun's impact on the city was also slowed down a lot.
"Kill--!" The shouts of killing came one after another on the city head, and the dense arrows were also intertwined in the sky above the city head, mixed with the thick smoke that was brought up when the fire was just extinguished. Under the leadership of Jiang Shanli, Liu Wenyuan and Liu Wuchang, three masters whose combat effectiveness was significantly higher, the defenders at the front of the city broke out with astonishing combat power, and they stubbornly blocked an enemy several times their own at the head of the city.
Although many Xia Army soldiers rushed to the city, they were quickly besieged by defenders with high combat power and morale. Of course, there were also defenders who died in the hands of Xia Jun, but whenever someone sacrificed, there would be other soldiers to fill the vacancy to supplement the integrity of the city's defense line.
Two hours passed, the fierce battle was in a stalemate, and the sound of fighting continued. Xia Jun was still unable to break through the city, which surprised Yang Lin under the city. I originally thought that the Hanyang Army could be taken down in one breath, but I didn't expect the defenders of the Hanyang Army City to be so tenacious. The news just came from behind that Longshan's injury, which was previously hit by Gao Yong's meteor axe, was not a serious injury, so Yang Lin's anger was also relieved a lot.
But it was precisely because of this that Yang Lin could analyze the battle situation more calmly. It has been more than two hours since the start of the war. As the so-called rush, decay, and exhaustion, if the Hanyang army is no longer able to be taken, the morale of the army will fall to the bottom. Even if the Hanyang army is finally able to be taken, the army will suffer a great loss. of.
How can Yang Lin allow this to happen? With cold eyes, he shouted: "Split the troops to fetch the other three-sided city gates." Yang Lin's previous plan was to attack the east city gate with all his strength, but he did not expect the resistance of the Hanyang army to be so tenacious, and the ladder was burned a lot. Most of the soldiers can only gather under the city, and cannot give full play to their strength. Therefore, Yang Lin simply stretched the battle line and divided the other three-sided gates, forcing the defenders to disperse their forces. Yang Lin was obviously not bullying the defenders as many people as Xia Jun.
After receiving Yang Lin's military order, the messenger immediately blew the horn. Soon, nearly half of the men and horses were separated from under the city wall, and they drove to the left and right. At the head of the city, Jiang Shanli immediately guessed the enemy's plan as soon as he saw this situation, and immediately became anxious. There are many soldiers in Xia, and it doesn't matter if the troops are divided, but there are just over 5,000 defenders. Seven or eight hundred people have been killed and injured in the last fierce battle. If the troops were divided again, it would be really difficult to fight.
But the problem is, knowing that the division of troops will increase the difficulty of defending the city, but Jiangshanli has to divide the troops to guard the other three gates. On the other side of the city, Liu Wenyuan also saw the strangeness, and cut off the head of a Xia Jun soldier who wanted to rush up with a single knife. He turned his head and shouted at Jiang Shanli: "Brother Jiang. I will take four hundred people to guard. North City."
Regardless of Liu Wenyuan's young age, but his ability is absolutely outstanding. These four hundred people are just the maximum that all defenders can divide. Considering that there are other two sides of the city gates that need support, Liu Wenyuan can only divide up to four hundred people. . Hearing Liu Wenyuan’s words, Jiang Shan couldn’t help but agreed. At the same time, he turned his head and shouted to Chief Liu on the other side: "Leader Liu, now I appoint you as a general, and you will also bring four hundred. People, go to Shou Nancheng."
"Okay! Leave it to me." Liu Wuchang is usually very unconvinced with Liu Wenyuan, but Liu Wuchang listened to the general Jiang Shanli, and immediately ordered four hundred people from his side, then turned his head and hurried towards Nanchengmen. go with.
After eight thousand people walked away in a row, the pressure on the city was much greater. Jiang Shanli also had to run back and forth, like a firefighter, helping the soldiers intercept and kill the enemies who rushed to the city. Although there is no problem for the time being, Jiang Shanli's heart cannot be relaxed, because Jiang Shanli knows that since the enemy is going to attack other city gates, he will definitely not leave the west gate without fighting. But now there is only Jiangshanli on the front of the city. If there is no one to lead, how can Jiangshanli divide his troops to defend in the west
While killing the enemy, Jiangshanli's mind was constantly running, thinking about a solution. But now that Jiangshan Li is on the battlefield, when fighting with others, how can he be distracted casually? Facing a Xia Jun soldier who rushed up from the female wall, Jiang Shanli swiped it and hit the man's shoulder. He thought that the knife had already solved the enemy, so Jiang Shanli wanted to turn around and go elsewhere to help. But what Jiang Shanli didn't notice was that the Xia Army soldier was not cut to the point after being cut. I saw that the Xia Army soldier's eyes suddenly burst into red light, and he rushed towards Jiang Shanli who had already turned around, completely ignorant of the bloody wound on his shoulder.
When Jiang Shanli discovered this abnormality, the soldier had already pounced on him and threw him directly to the ground. Fortunately, when the soldier just pounced on, the weapon in his hand had already been knocked off by Jiang Shanli, but now he could only pinch Jiang Shanli's neck with his hands. At this time, the soldier had blue veins on his forehead and his eyes were red. His appearance was very hideous, as if he was about to choke the country to death in one breath.
Being choked by his neck, Jiangshan Li was also out of breath, especially when he saw the combat effectiveness of the soldier, it was obviously not an ordinary soldier. Jiang Shanli couldn't help but startled. He wanted to get rid of the opponent, but his whole body was suppressed by the opponent, unable to move. He could only use the saber in his hand to hack the opponent as much as he could. I thought that this would be able to cut down the opponent, but the Xia Army soldier was already desperate at this moment.
He completely ignored the extra scars on his body, suffocating a sigh, just thinking about strangling Jiang Shanli. For such an enemy, Jiangshan's power has no way at all, and only feels that with the difficulty of breathing, the strength is quickly lost and death is approaching.
Just as Jiang Shanli felt a little fuzzy in his spirit, a violent shout rang out. In front of Jiang Shanli’s eyes, a white light flashed, and the two arms that were pinched tightly around Jiang Shanli’s neck flew out, followed by another one. Only his foot appeared, kicking directly on the chest of the Xia Army soldier, kicking the Xia Army soldier into the air. At the same time a shout sounded: "Brother Jiang. How is it? Are you okay?"
At last he was relieved, Jiang Shanli immediately sat up, panting desperately, coughing several times, raised his head, and saw that the person beside him who had saved him was Gao Yong who had gone to heal the arrow wound before. Obviously Gao Yong had already taken care of his injuries, so he hurried over, just in time to save Jiang Shanli.
Jiang Shanli stood up with Gao Yong's support, nodded to Gao Yong, and said, "General Gao! You are here at the right time. Go to the West Gate quickly. The enemy has already divided troops to attack other gates."
Gao Yong just rushed to the city and didn’t know the changes outside the city. Hearing Jiang Shanli’s words, Gao Yong’s expression also changed. His subordinates cut several Xia Army soldiers who wanted to attack and looked out the city. eye. Sure enough, there were fewer enemies outside the city. Gao Yong nodded and shouted: "Okay! OK! I'll go now, you have to hold on here." After that, Gao Yong turned around and hurried to the east of the city. Jiang Shanli also quickly pointed out 400 people and followed Gao Yong.
There were four hundred people less on the front of the city, and the pressure was even greater. No matter how hard Jiang Shanli worked, the enemy could not be completely blocked. Xia Jun soldiers began to rush up to the front of the city and defend the front of the city. The army met each other shortly.
At this point, the soldiers of the Song Army on the front of the city no longer pay attention to any formations. They only carried their weapons to fight forward, and even the archers threw their longbows aside. Burying forward with the short blade of the transfer. In this kind of hand-to-hand battle, the soldiers on both sides tried their best to use all the methods they could use, only to kill one more enemy.
As the commander-in-chief in Dongchengtou, Jiangshanli is naturally at the forefront. Although Jiangshan's power is not as powerful as Gao Yong, he is also a warrior after all. With a single knife in his hand, he flew up and down, and also killed many enemies. It's just that Jiang Shan force killed many enemies, but more enemies rushed to the top of the city. Jiang Shanli had just killed an enemy, and two Xia Jun soldiers soon came over with shouts.
Facing the culled enemy, Jiang Shanli just wanted to raise the single-handed fight in his hand, but his head suddenly dizzy and he couldn't even lift his hand. Obviously, having been fighting for so long, Jiang Shanli's physical strength has been a bit unable to keep up.
At this time, the two soldiers of the Xia Army had already slashed down towards Jiangshanli with a single knife. Jiangshanli wanted to lift the knife holder to block it. It was too late. He could only roll on the spot and evade this in embarrassment. hit. Fortunately, the feeling of dizziness just now was just a momentary reaction. Soon Jiang Shanli lifted his body and slashed each of them with a knife.
Although the two people were resolved, Jiang Shanli did not dare to be careless. With the first time, there must be a second and third time. The physical exertion was too great, even if Jiang Shanli's skill is good, this If you go down, you have to die here.
But do you want to withdraw? Taking advantage of this stall, Jiang Shanli looked left and right with a wry smile. Now even if he wants to withdraw, where can he withdraw? The enemy has now surrounded the entire Hanyang Army City regiment, and with the current strength, even if it wants to break through, it can't be done. Rough calculations, there are less than a hundred people who are still fighting at the top of the city, and there are at least thousands of enemies who have climbed to the top of the city, not counting the fact that they are constantly climbing towards the top of the city. Enemy. The result is already obvious. In this battle, Jiangshanli lost.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shanli took a few steps backwards, shook his head helplessly, and then raised his head again, looking solemnly at the enemy rushing forward, but his eyes became firm again. If you lose, you lose. It's a big deal. How can a man be afraid of death when he is born in troubled times? Repaying the grace of the adults in this way, Jiang Shan force died without regret.
After confirming his own thoughts, Jiang Shanli had no worries, carried his saber and went forward again, as if after a short pause, the strength of his whole body had recovered.
Outside the city, Yang Lin, who was still fighting on the city’s head, couldn’t help but sigh, “How many dead soldiers of the Song Army of Zhao Gou are.”
With Yang Lin’s eyes, wouldn’t it be possible to fail to see that this battle has been fought until now, from the very beginning, a must-win battle, but the defenders of Hanyang Army City never gave up from the beginning to the end. Gao Yong went out of the city to single out, and now the defenders are fighting to death. Such a battle that should have been extremely easy was delayed by the opponent for nearly three hours. No wonder the Song army has become stronger and stronger over the years. With such soldiers, the Song army deserves to be the strongest army in the world.
"Father." A shout came from behind Yang Lin, and Yang Lin looked back, but it was Longshan who had been injured before he was treated. At this moment, Longshan is no longer a serious problem, but his chest is bandaged with a white cloth, and his face is a little pale. Walking to Yang Lin's side, Longshan held his fists in a salute, then looked at the top of the city again and asked, "Father, we should have won this battle, right?"
Yang Lin nodded, but turned his head and said to Longshan: "Longshan! You are too careless. If you always pay attention, you won't be hit by Gao Yong's plot before. Remember. On the battlefield, it can happen anytime Don’t be careless about changes. This time you are lucky, and next time, you may be killed."
Yang Lin's reprimand caused Longshan's expression to change, and he quickly turned over and got off his horse. He knelt down in front of Yang Linma and said, "Father has taught him a good lesson. Weichen remembers his father's teaching. Never again dare to make mistakes."
"Yeah." Yang Lin nodded again. Although he still has a few biological sons under his knees, they are not very useful. Therefore, the most important thing is this son who has great ability. As he gets older, maybe one day, he will be shrouded on the battlefield. Therefore, Yang Lin hopes to pass on all his life experience to Longshan, so that Longshan can protect himself on the battlefield in the future.
Seeing that Longshan had listened, Yang Lin didn’t say much anymore. Instead, he pointed to Song Jun who was still resisting on the city’s head and sighed: “Song Jun’s fighting spirit is really too tenacious. This battle has caused us to lose. It has already greatly exceeded the previous expectations. Now we have sacrificed at least seven or eight hundred soldiers. This is already the case in this Hanyang Military City. Next, we will go to Jiangling City, which is even more a tough battle. "
"Uh." Hearing what Yang Lin said, it seemed that he didn't have much confidence in the plan this time, which made Longshan a little surprised. Since he worshiped Yang Lin as the emperor, he had never seen Yang Lin look like this. Long Shan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why should my father be so worried? Could it be that Emperor Zhao Zhen is in Jiangling City?"
Before Longshan finished speaking, Yang Lin stood up his palm and stopped what Longshan said. He shook his head and said, "The world is unpredictable. If all our hopes are placed on those people, we, who are in the enemy's territory, The army is afraid that it won’t be able to go back. Forget it, now that I’ve arrived here, there’s nothing left to say. I can only take a step and look at it. It seems that the feints at the other three-sided city gates have worked. The East City Gate needs to be taken down, even if the Hanyang Army has breached it."
Yang Lin suddenly changed the subject, making Long Shan a little confused. However, out of respect for Yang Lin for a long time, Long Shan did not say much. Even if he said to Yang Lin, "Father, you can send someone to inform General Yu. He Xia general.” Yu Chuan and Xia Wutao were sent to the west and south by Yang Lin to stop the messengers from Song Jun’s notification. Now that the Hanyang Army has been taken down, they naturally want to notify them to come to the Hanyang Army to rest.
