Chu Qiao stood on the high tower, and the whole Beishuo City was jubilant. Seeing the hope of victory, the people rushed to the top of the city one by one, erected simple catapults, and defended tenaciously and resolutely.
The black sharp arrows were shot one by one, and the enemy immediately fell down like wormwood. Chu Qiao was dressed in white fur with a blank expression on her face. Thousands of people died in front of her. As long as she waved her hand, thousands of heads would fall to the ground, and the blood would merge into streams, rivers, lakes, and floods. Grass, such as ants, such as worthless waste paper, war is like a man-eating devil, opening its bloody mouth and devouring it from the front.
She gradually lost her senses. She didn't feel scared, sick, or even tired. It was the war that made her numb. At this moment, her hands and feet were stiff, and she just felt so cold.
The war was cruel. Two days later, the arrows in the city were exhausted. One day later, all the rolling stones and trees were consumed, and Xia Jun paid nearly 70,000 lives for this. On the vast battlefield, bloody corpses covered the ground, and dense numbers of broken knives and sharp arrows spread below the horizon. Beishuo's soldiers and civilians were exhausted, but before they even had a bite of dinner, the dark shadows once again pounced on them.
Chu Qiao sighed helplessly. Even though they had already thrown away the last stone and shot the last sharp arrow, and dealt such a heavy blow to the enemy, the enemy still regrouped so quickly and charged forward. Both she and Zhao Yang knew that war was often a competition of endurance, and whoever could last longer would be the final winner. Xia Jun's Northern Expedition suffered such serious losses, and now Zhao Yang was going to put all his eggs in one basket.
"My lord, what should I do?"
The subordinates hurried in and looked at her expectantly. In the past, this female general was always able to bring out a powerful secret weapon to save the situation in a critical moment, and the soldiers of the entire Second Army were full of love for her. But now, Chu Qiao shook her head and said flatly: "There is no other way, let's fight."
The close-range siege battle was finally fully launched, the world was wailing, the earth trembled violently under the feet, and the wailing of war horses was all around my ears. The Great Xia Corps was like towering mountains, beating fiercely under the city wall of Beishuo , rushing forward wave after wave. There was a huge disparity in the number of people, and the battle became more and more fierce in the later stage. The city wall was lost several times, and was retaken by the soldiers with blood several times. The soldiers of the Southwest Town Government Envoy showed their terrifying and astonishing combat effectiveness. Less than 3,000 of them defended half of the city wall, while there were 60,000 defenders on the other half. Even so, the envoy of the Southwest Township had to help them again and again.
Two days later, Zhao Yang sent people to dig a ditch under the eastern city, causing a small landslide, and a small part of the city wall collapsed. Although Chu Qiao quickly made defenses, more than two thousand people rushed into the city. These people were all the elite troops of Daxia. The fight lasted for more than two hours, and the corpses piled up into a hill.
"General! The third brigade was wiped out. Under the leadership of the general, the Bow and Crossbow Battalion and the fourth militia brigade attacked the city and forced back the Xia soldiers who were digging trenches under the city. The eleventh team all died in Dongyi city..."
"General, I can't stand it anymore, there are at most two more hours, retreat now!"
He Xiao also came forward, the young man was covered with scars and blood, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, all the officers and soldiers of the Southwest town government request your lord to retreat, we will fight a way for you through the west gate .”
Yin Liangyu's face was pale, and this civil servant, dressed in military uniform, stepped forward with a frown and said, "General, the reinforcements can't arrive, and we don't have time. Please lead the envoys of the Southwest Township and all the women and children out of the city." , as long as we arrive at Lancheng and Miss Yu, we will have a chance to make a comeback, and my subordinates are willing to stay and live and die with Beishuo."
Chu Qiao shook her head slowly, where is there still half a figure in Lancheng? Even if she fled there, she was just leading Xia Bing into the inland of Yanbei. She whispered, "I will not retreat."
"Please, general, put the overall situation first! This is not the time to be arrogant!"
Chu Qiao raised her head, stared firmly into the distance, and said slowly, "Reinforcements will arrive."
"My lord!" He Xiao said a little excitedly, "We can't wait anymore, time is running out, if we don't leave, it will be too late."
Chu Qiao still said the same words, full of confidence, even crazy and paranoid, "Reinforcements will arrive."
The crowd retreated helplessly, and then issued an order for the entire army to stand firm. For a moment, the whole city resounded with crazy roars, Chu Qiao couldn't tell what kind of emotions they were, anger, sadness, panic, blood, fear, hatred, despair, maybe it was nothing, just a cry before dying That's all.
The sky was getting dark, the setting sun was blood red, and the battle was extremely fierce. The captain and cook of the Seventh Brigade of the Eighth Division held a big knife for killing pigs, and roared to kill Xia Jun who had climbed to the top of the city. More than a dozen Xia Jun rushed up in a row, but the fat cook rushed over and threw the dozen or so people into the fire together. The fire quickly burned on them, and Xia Jun slapped the flames on his body in panic. However, the cook continued to pounce on the others regardless, aggressively, not minding the fire on his body at all. Xia Jun was panicked, and no one would dodge wherever he went. Finally, the cook grabbed Xia Jun's rope ladder to climb up the city without saying a word, and slid all the way down. More than 20 people were climbing The soldier fell to his death on the stone under the city wall along with him, blood spattered and brains burst.
On this day, millions of people from both sides witnessed the loyalty and bravery of a cook.
"My lord! The eighth team is wiped out!"
"Reinforcements will arrive."
"My lord, the East Second City Wall collapsed, and more than 300 enemies rushed in. The Ninth and Tenth Brigades went up to block it."
"Reinforcements will arrive."
"My lord, let's go, Xia Bing's last three reserves have also joined the battle!"
"Reinforcements will arrive."
"My lord, it's too late if you don't go, the reinforcements won't arrive, give the order to retreat!"
"Reinforcements will arrive."
"grown ups… "
…
Everyone was in despair, they all thought that Chu Qiao was determined to live and die with Bei Shuo. The battle became more and more fierce, and there were frantic screams everywhere. The soldiers of Yanbei went crazy, and desperately let out the final roar, brandishing their swords and rushing forward to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.
The commander of the Chinese army should not participate in the battle, but at this moment, Chu Qiao slowly pulled out the sword from her waist. Even at this moment, there is still a belief in her mind clamoring crazily, to persist for a moment is a moment. She walked out of the Chinese army camp slowly, and came to the highest point of the tower. The sword was as sharp as a silver light.
He Xiao rushed forward suddenly, his face was shocked, he couldn't tell his emotions, and he shouted in panic: "My lord!"
"Stop talking!" Chu Qiao interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "I will not retreat, reinforcements will definitely arrive."
"My lord," He Xiao said slowly, licking his pale lips, "The reinforcements have arrived."
Chu Qiao's delicate body trembled, and she followed He Xiao's fingers and turned around abruptly. On the horizon of Huoleiyuan, a thin black line faintly appeared, and dust was flying above the thin line. The piercing horn sounded from the Xia army. The messengers were running back and forth, and the officers were yelling something hoarsely, but they couldn't hear clearly, flustered, very flustered, Da Xia's army retreated like a tide, Xia Bing ran back blankly following the sound of the trumpets, but didn't know what was going on. What happened.
The earth is shaking, boom! Boom! Boom!
Everyone stopped their movements, and the Beishuo guards, who were ready to die in battle, raised their heads one after another, looking at the far east, where on a field of red fire and thunder, narrow and long thin lines gradually merged into a single line. Immediately, the black river, like a black goshawk suddenly jumped out from the end of the sky, with wide wings, majestic and majestic, turning into a boundless black ocean!
Overwhelming! Like a storm! The black battle flag fluttered above the black ocean, and the war eagle was ferocious, almost breaking through the flag. The soldiers controlled the horse with their legs, drew their swords and stood in front of them, roaring like thunder, "Fight for freedom!"
The deafening charge resounded across the earth in an instant, and there was a huge cheer from the top of Beishuo city!
"Black Eagle Banner! It's the Black Eagle Banner! Your Highness! Your Highness is coming!"
"Our reinforcements are here!"
The soldiers cheered, and many people shed tears on the city wall. In just a few days, this ancient city has experienced life and death several times. Now, facing the sudden hope, people cheered and hugged each other enthusiastically.
Complementing the cheers from the top of Beishuo City was Daxia's panicked roar, Zhao Yang shouted in disbelief: "How could this be? How did they go around the back road?"
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" An orderly rushed forward, wearing the military uniform of Zhenhuang City, travel-stained, with a dusty face, and shouted, "The emperor has ordered you to return to the mainland immediately, Yan Xun's thief led With an army of 500,000 troops, he entered the empire, and the northwest area was covered with scorched earth, and now, he has returned to outflank the Northern Expeditionary Army!"
With a bang, Zhao Yang kicked the messenger off the horse and cursed angrily, "Why didn't you wait for him to kill all our troops before you report?"
"The little one has been traveling all day and night. All the brothers who sent the order were intercepted and killed by the Yanbei Army. There is only one subordinate left. The subordinate has to be more careful..."
The man hastily argued, before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhao Yang again, and the fourteenth prince of Daxia hurriedly sent an order: "All legions form an formation on the spot, and they must not flee. Only by holding their ground can we fight the enemy together." spell."
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the Southwest Army, the Northern Alliance, and the remaining troops of the Batuha family fleeing in disorder. Only the Northwest Army was left standing in place, resisting the approaching Yan North Army.
Zhao Yang closed his eyes in despair, is it really Heaven is going to die in Daxia
The defeat of the Xia army was like a tide, and all the resistance was torn apart by the Yanbei army. The superiority in numbers, the superiority in combat power, the morale of the newcomers, and the sudden surprise attack all determined the victory for the Yanbei army. condition. Two hours later, Xia Jun escaped from Huoleiyuan and fled in the direction of Helan Mountain in a hurry.
The Yanbei Army dispatched 100,000 troops, chasing after them!
On this day, November 1st, 775 of the Bai Cang calendar, the Black Eagle Army, which had penetrated into the inland of Great Xia, suddenly returned to the mainland of Yanbei. Yan Xun strictly sealed the news along the way, galloped fast, and immediately ate, drank and slept. There was no rest after returning, and he immediately went into battle.
