The rambling firebirds were blocked from the door, and the garrison did not stop. They flew in the passage, dragged spare water bags, and poured water on the city gate just in case.
The Biansha cavalry on the opposite side of Haogou was furious at Zhuo Li's corpse. Zhuo Li was the four-legged snake who followed Amur into China seven years ago, or was Amur a gift to Hasen. In just a few days, Duanzhou's communication with the outside world was cut off.
"Drag him away!" The cavalry looked at the city gate of Duanzhou, "This reckless and stupid bastard... cheer up! Before Hassan arrives, we must find a way to cross this ditch!"
Yin Chang removed the access board and killed the infantry pushing the cart, leaving the Biansha cavalry in a moment of anxiety in the face of Haogou, giving the garrison in the city a chance to breathe. However, the Haogou in Duanzhou is not a moat. The square bricks at both ends are not inlaid in order to connect with the Haogou on the north and south sides, so the ditch cannot be kept full for a long time. The sluice gates were all opened, the water had been emptied, and even if Haogou could hold on, the Biansha cavalry would find a way to cross the ditch soon.
Before dark, the east gate will definitely welcome the charge of the Biansha cavalry.
"Prepare the heavy stone," Shen Zechuan turned his head and said to Qiao Tianya, "Push the bed and crossbow to the wall!"
The garrison at the bottom of the city pushed the crossbow together with all their strength, trying to move upward along the wider passage. The cavalry's single-pointed artillery continued to attack, and heavy stones were thrown at the city wall. The eastern city wall had been smashed. The broken bricks and stones mixed with mud blocks fell down, and the walls collapsed a few times. The garrison had to hide their heads and use their bodies against the sliding crossbow.
The garrison could not bear the gravity, and the group of people were pressed against the ground by the bed and crossbow, and they also slid down.
Qiao Tianya jumped over the steps and was about to give a hand, but saw a commoner sinking slightly, raising his arms to support the place where the crossbow slid down. Ji Gang's white hair was stained with gray, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Get up!"
The garrison only felt his back light up, Ji Gang's forehead blue veins jumped slightly, he stepped forward and let the bed crossbow slowly move up the slope. When the crossbow was in place, Ji Gang's arms trembled and his back was soaked with sweat.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, the sweat mixed with the choking dust covered his face, and there were soldiers running everywhere. The bows and arrows on the wall stacks do not dare to shoot recklessly, the enemy is likely to induce consumption, and they have to save them until the cavalry charges. The same is true for the crossbow. This killing weapon cannot be easily moved. It must be fatal in one blow, just like Yin Chang killed Zhuo Li, it must make the cavalry hurt.
"The garrison is divided into three groups, three teams are divided into three gates, and Jinyi rides at the east gate to stand by." Shen Zechuan raised his hand holding the knife and wiped the sweat from his cheeks with the back of his hand, "The remaining three gates must be blocked before dark."
Duanzhou's granary is full. To attack Duanzhou, the cavalry can consume Duanzhou's granary for a long time, make Duanzhou trapped for a month, and consume Duanzhou to death. But Hassan wanted to fight quickly, so he wouldn't take a long siege. The cavalry had been attacking strongly from last night until now. If the east gate is deadlocked, the cavalry will probably go around the other three gates and make a side attack like they attacked the west gate. .
Shen Zechuan put down the hanging gates for defense at the other three gates, but this was not a long-term solution, because the cavalry had siege equipment, and a crash vehicle carrying a thick wood could directly smash through the city gate, and then smash through the hanging gate, allowing the cavalry to enter smoothly. city.
"Fire oil and stones," Shen Zechuan said, "then demolish the collapsed watchtower in the city, and let the garrison guarding the three gates bring everything that can be used for defense on the wall, and blow horns whenever they see the figure of the cavalry. Ming said, throw away debris to stop them from charging."
Gotta figure out a way to get out of town as soon as possible.
Shen Zechuan looked at the sky in the southeast, where Lang Yantai was silent.
* * *
The gentlemen were gathered at the horse farm, which was empty and could accommodate several groups of people in the city. Only now did Gao Zhongxiong relax, leaned over and rubbed his calf, and said to Kong Ling, "It's just right, just right now..."
When he was in a hurry, he stuttered again.
Kong Ling reassured: "It's okay, Shenwei had to take Yuan Zhuo away at that time, and he was already courageous. I was in Dunzhou in the early years, and when I learned that the cavalry had entered the city, I really couldn't care about anything."
Yao Wenyu clutched his sleeve, and was interrupted by a hand in the silence. He looked over and saw the talented woman calling the child to return the veil. Yao Wenyu raised his hand, but did not pick up the veil. His dusty fingers stretched slightly and touched the child's cheek lightly.
Live.
Yao Wenyu's chest heaved slightly.
The footsteps on the side of the racecourse were dense, and the garrisoned troops rushed past, trying to reach the top of the wall.
"Bow and arrows supply Ximen!" The young general headed back into the knife and carried the sundries with his bare hands, "Leave the collapsed watchtower to us!"
"Not enough," replied the soldier at the top of the wall, "just one building collapsed, not enough!"
Duanzhou has a lot of defense equipment, and the armament depot has been emptied, mainly to support the east gate, and the other three gates can only pick up the rest. The bows and arrows were consumed by the Biansha infantry in the morning, and they had to make up for the west gate, which was blocked by the gable of the car.
How to do this
A man suddenly stood up on the racecourse. He weighed the old hoe and asked, "Can this be thrown away?"
The teenager said: "If you throw it away, you won't return it!"
"Then take it away," the man said as he tried his best to speak the official language. "The city is besieged. If you don't kill the cavalry, it's useless to keep this hoe. Are you short of people?"
The garrison didn't answer, they had a conflict with the people at Simon just now.
On the racecourse, several individuals stood up, all of them in their prime, with their own farm implements, and shouted at the garrison: "Is there a shortage? If there is a shortage, we are all people!"

The artillery bombardment of the cavalry continued to You Shi, from day to dusk. The eastern city wall has been repaired and then repaired, and the spare parapet wall will be smashed. The cavalry has not stopped. This is the real bombardment.
"Single-tipped cannons are all stones," Qiao Tianya squatted behind the wall stack, bearing the sound of the cannons, and said to Shen Zechuan, "They are in the field, and there is no shortage of stones. If they fight like this for two more days, even if the cavalry can't charge at Haogou, the city wall will still be Unbearable."
"Hassen can't wait two days," Shen Zechuan's cheeks were dirty, "the cavalry will definitely charge before night."
The garrison lost Yin Chang, and the cavalry wanted to explore the depth of the garrison. The garrison, which had been bombarded for a day, was very tired. This was a good opportunity for the cavalry at this moment.
"When they cross the Haogou, we will open the city gate," Shen Zechuan said. "The garrison will continue to defend the city and let the Jinyi Cavalry resist the charge."
"Me and Fei Sheng..."
"You and me," Shen Zechuan raised his eyes, "you alternate with me, as long as you repel the charge of the cavalry, immediately return to the city, don't fight."
The number of cavalrymen far exceeded those of the Jinyi Cavalry, and the steel needle could not use the axe directly. As long as Shen Zechuan pierced their momentum, he could maintain his defensive posture.
Qiao Tianya licked his lips and said in a serious tone, "You are the ruler of the government, not the general."
Shen Zechuan didn't answer, he stood up against the wall, and under the dim sky, he crossed the overwhelming cavalry and looked at the Chashi River. Chashi River is like a jade belt soaked in the sunset, reflecting the magnificent thick clouds, and the hunting falcons soar in it.
Shen Zechuan's eyes gradually gathered sharpness, and he said, "I am the ruler of Zhongbo."
Before the rose cloud above the Chashi River had dispersed, the wall beside Shen Zechuan shook.
"Crap!" the garrison guarding the watchtower shouted loudly, "The cavalry's trebuchet is here!"
The trebuchet, which kicked off last night, rested for a whole day after the single-shot cannon, and reappeared. The cavalry began to divide the ranks, and they beat drums and quickly passed information on the battlefield.
Shen Zechuan immediately tore off the cumbersome robe, tightened the single arm, and went down the steps to the bottom of the city. Feng Tashuangyi waited proudly, he got on his horse and said to Qiao Tianya, "Be alert to the other three."
Qiao Tianya saluted and said loudly, "Fu Jun, great victory!"
Shen Zechuan reined in his horse and turned around, facing the passage. His face was covered with blood and sweat, only those eyes remained bright. The Jinyi riders behind them are breathing steadily, and they have to fight quickly.
The war horse on the side suddenly sank slightly, Fei Sheng mounted it, dragged the Embroidered Spring Saber on his waist to him, and looked at Shen Zechuan with red eyes: "I'm the guard of the mansion." He paused for a moment, then drew his sword and raised his voice, "We are the shield of the ruler!"
Shen Zechuan nodded slightly, and Feng Tashuangyi began to step forward. His figure gradually entered the passage, and in the momentary silence facing the city gate, Shen Zechuan said, "I live and die with you all."
The city gate opened again, and the dull loud noise ushered in the last sunlight, shuttled among countless horses' hooves.
The rainbow eagle flag was raised high in the afterglow, and the cavalry stood on the flagpole, slammed down after the rectified infantry, and shouted in the edge of the sand: "Let's go forward!"
Fei Sheng's scattered hair was blown by the wind, his shattered fingers clenched the handle of the knife, and shouted as Shen Zechuan drove his horse forward: "Great victory!"
The wind treads the frost and the dust runs out.
The infantry gave up their shields, knelt neatly with the passboard, and built a narrow bridge just as the cavalry was about to pass them. The scimitars stepped over the ditch and collided with Jin Yiqi under the city.
The Biansha cavalry, who had rested outside the city all day, were full of energy. They drank enough milk tea and ate jerky. They thought they were facing the tired garrison. Who knew that the Jinyi cavalry also rested well, relying on dry food stuffed When the stomach is full, there is no chance to take advantage of it.
The two sides were like blades touching blades, colliding with brute force in the chaotic hooves.
Yang Shanxue never went head-to-head with the machete, and Shen Zechuan took his throat cunningly. The armband became heavy, and the blood dripped down the arm, staining Shen Zechuan's half body red.
The number of cavalrymen charging for the first time was not enough, and the bridge that was hastily erected was too narrow to withstand the slaughter of the Jinyi Cavalry.
Shen Zechuan immediately dropped his horse and returned to the city. When he entered the passage, the city gate was closed again. A torch was lit in the passage, and it was almost the hour.
Shen Zechuan's right arm was sluggish. He had never struggled for such a long time when he was still in Jinyiwei. After he arrived at Zhongbo, because of his lack of physical training, he was already aware of the sluggishness of his body at this moment.
The fingers are numb.
Shen Zechuan raised his left hand, wiped the blood on his face expressionlessly, and changed positions with Qiao Tianya.
Jinyiwei rested for less than an hour when the drum outside rang again, and the cavalry charged for the second time. This time, Qiao Tianya led his troops to fight, and did not retreat until he was ugly.
"Wheel battle," Fei Sheng looked at the cavalry's moving torches on the wall, "they charge different cavalry every round, so they won't stop until dawn."
"Hassen hid part of his troops," Shen Zechuan rested against the wall and stuffed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, "Otherwise, Ce'an would not be without news."
Xiao Chiye had a deduction with Lu Guangbai before going south. The purpose of his going south was to lure Ha Sen to send troops, but this premonition was that there would be fewer Biansha cavalry at the gate of the battle. Lu Guangbai didn't come to support for a long time, indicating that the onslaught of the battle area has not stopped. Hassen has already made enough camouflage for the attack on Duanzhou. Amur is likely to have more than six behind.
Fei Sheng looked at the cavalry and said, "I have to bring the old man back."
Shen Zechuan barely finished eating the steamed buns and stood up with Yang Shanxue. He hadn't slept all day and night.
"Here's a way..." Shen Zechuan raised his head slightly, "Qiao Tianya doesn't have to retreat in the next round of charge, let's go out of the city together."
Fei Sheng turned his head.
Shen Zechuan's eyes were gloomy and he said clearly, "Fuck."
Fei Sheng's stiff facial muscles gradually moved. He didn't know why, but he suddenly laughed. With a smile, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said to Fu Jun, "Fuck."
