The siege of Luocheng was going very tragically. Liu Xun, Liu Zhang's eldest son, led his army desperately to resist the attack of the Han army. Although the Han army is well-equipped and well-trained, the enemy has a geographical advantage after all, and many people have been killed and injured. The blood was blasting to the sky, Xiao killed more than anything. At the head of Luocheng City, I don't know how many corpses were piled up. There were broken arms and limbs everywhere. The walls and stone pillars were covered with stinking blood.
It was midday, the scorching sun was hanging high in the air, and the hot light filled the earth, but on the head of the city of Luocheng, it was enveloped by black smoke and the sun fell sparsely on the city. At the top of the city, the soldiers on the top of the city felt a gloomy, depressed breath.
The fighting continued for two days and two nights. Almost every moment, the soldiers of the Han army flocked to the city to occupy their only high ground.
The guards of the Shu army resisted desperately. Without support, they literally resisted several attacks by the Han army, and even died together with the enemy, but at such a price, they gradually felt that they were unable to succeed, even Did not see any hope.
In the two-day siege battle, the Shu army paid a heavy price under obvious advantages. Three thousand casualties, regardless of minor or serious injuries, caused the Shu army to lose one-third of its soldiers and horses. This was only two days. The result.
On the other hand, the Han army, although they lost every time they attacked the city, they won because they had a large number of soldiers and horses. The soldiers could be organized to attack the city alternately and take turns to rest. There was no need to struggle like the already stretched Shu army at the head of the city.
Finally, when it was time to eat, both sides could get short and plenty of time to replenish their physical strength. After a day of hard fighting, the soldiers of the Shu army were all lying on the ground with their chests pressed to their backs, their bodies lying weakly on the ground, gasping for breath. , Closing the already heavy eyelids like a mountain, they didn't even have time to eat, and they had to face a new round of attack by the Han soldiers under the city at any time.
Liu Xun is no longer elegant and handsome. He wears torn clothes, disheveled hair, and has a faint blood on the corners of his mouth. If his eyes are not as bright and sharp and he is still holding a sword in his hand, I am afraid that others will think of him as a beggar.
"Huh..." Liu Xun leaned on a pillar, his expression slightly painful, and his body slowly slid down the pillar until he sat on the floor tiles.
Looking at ten miles outside the city, I saw smoke rising from the big camp of the Han army, and the vague silhouettes were squatting in front of the cauldron to feast, eating happily.
After organizing soldiers and horses for two consecutive days, Liu Xun, who is in charge of the overall situation, did not have a good meal at all. He could only use ordinary dry bread to fill his hunger. At this time, watching the scene of the opposite party making a fire and chewing, he was hungry. Liu Xun could smell the fragrant food on the other side.
"Master." A thick voice came, followed by a white-faced bun.
Liu Xun looked back, and saw Liu Wei standing in front of him. On his dirty and black palm, it was a clean steamed bun.
Liu Xun just glanced at it, and then reached out and took it. Regardless of the stain on the bun, he unceremoniously stuffed it into his mouth and began to gobble up.
Eating the steamed buns in his mouth, the corner of his eyes swept to the opposite smoking place unconsciously, with a nostalgic expression. It was not until after the whole meal that Liu Xun retracted his gaze. Then he gave a startled smile with self-deprecating smile.
"My son, the battle situation is very unfavorable to us." Liu Huang waited for Liu Xun to finish eating, and said frustratedly, "The soldiers are low-spirited. Faced with the two-day onslaught of the Han army, it's time for energy to be haggard. If you don't hurry up Think of a way, it is difficult to have a fighting spirit again."
Liu Xun shook his body. Because of physical fatigue, he had to rely on two hands to support him to stand up. Liu Huang wanted to help but was pushed away by Liu Xun.
"Tell the soldiers to let them resist for a while. At midnight, we will break through from the rear." Liu Xun said laboriously, but his expression had changed to a calm and calm posture.
"Got it." Liu Huang sighed slightly, nodded, and then looked at Liu Xun with a dilemma, an expression that was difficult to speak.
"What else is there?" Liu Xun asked, but there was a burst of tension in his heart. Liu Huang had a violent temperament, and it was difficult for him to show a hesitant look like he is now. Something must have happened. Together with this bad omen, Liu Xun couldn't keep calm anymore.
"My son, hey... the military master is dead." After Liu Wei said, he only felt his throat blocked, his throat was itchy and painful, and immediately after his tight face, he became sad, his eyes were full of loneliness and melancholy. . Although the two sometimes disagree, even because of the verbal confrontation, they almost fought hard the last time, but they have worked together for many years. This relationship will never be erased. At this time, seeing him die like this, it is inevitable. It's not a taste in my heart.
"Dead?" Liu Xun cried out, "Wang Tired is dead? What did you say? Didn't he deploy supplies and weapons in the rear? Why did he die?"
"It's true, but Wang Lei's luck is really bad. He was hit by a flowing stone over the city wall, and the bloody and bloody smashed directly is horrible." Liu Huang's mouth was sarcasm, and he didn't know who he was laughing at.
Don't say that Liu Xun didn't believe it, Liu Huang didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Wang Lei's body, he was truly shocked.
I have to say that Wang Lei's luck is really bad. The long-range projection power of the catapult is inherently limited, and it rarely exceeds the range. What's more, the scene of crossing the height of the city wall and directly smashing into the city is unprepared. Defensively, he even hit the Shu army division who has a pivotal position in the Shu army. This jaw-dropping scene made the morale of the soldiers in the city even lower.
"Ironic!" Liu Xun had a strange expression on his face. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, happy or angry, but in the end he sighed deeply.
"Liu Huang, we can't take Wang Lei's body anymore. Find him a better place and bury it!" After Liu Xun finished speaking, he shook his head slightly. This Luocheng has become a battlefield. , Maybe after the soldiers of the Han army enter the city, they will start another killing. When the time comes, the corpses will be everywhere, the scorched earth will be everywhere, the war is burning, and there will be no damage.
"I know it at the end." Liu Wei nodded lonely. Obviously he thought of this, and his eyes were endless sighs, countless depressions.
Just after Wang Lei's funeral was settled by the two, a bright horn sounded in the distance, and the voice fluctuated greatly, stretching back several miles.
This was the prelude of the Han army's attack on the city. The soldiers on the head of the city who were dozing off heard it suddenly stood up from the ground, grabbed the weapon in their hands, and looked down the city head in a panic, wanting to take a look. Is the enemy already under the head of the city
Seeing the horrified performance of the soldiers, Liu Xun closed his eyes in pain. After these two days of continuous resistance, as the Han army became more and more aggressive in attacking the city, they had already become frightened birds. The stern sound of the horn always makes them nervous and panicked.
Soon, a pair of neatly arranged Han soldiers reappeared below the city. Compared with the Shu soldiers on the city, they were like a rainbow, full of energy, and their fighting spirit burst out between their chests and heads.
The heavy footsteps are from far to near, and every step taken brings an unspeakable sense of heaviness, which hits the heart fiercely.
Liu Jing's expression was unspeakably heavy. He just looked at the Han army for a while, frowned, and said: "This time the other side has dispatched more troops than the previous two days."
Then he said worriedly: "Could it be that Liu Xun has made up his mind to take down Luocheng in this battle?"
"This situation is nothing more than the same." Liu Xun observed carefully for a while, and said heavily, "No matter what, you must guard today, Liu Jing, you can take a trip yourself and transfer some of the guards on the other walls. Then order the guards everywhere to guard strictly. The battle situation has reached the final stage. Don't make mistakes. Tell them that if there is a situation, even if there is trouble, you must report it immediately." Liu Xun looked serious, and his heart was ups and downs. Obviously, he already felt the arrival of the decisive battle.
"Yes!" Liu Huang didn't hesitate at this moment, he held his fists heavily to lead his orders, and then looked at the Han army who was already close at hand under his eyes, and turned around to convey Liu Xun's order.
"Boom! Boom!" On the wall of Luocheng, dozens of boulders poured down. The fierce power was accompanied by a thunderous noise. It was originally a riddled wall, and it was crumbling and unbearable. hit.
Under the command of Liu Xun, the soldiers of the Han army rushed toward the city again like a tide. Every soldier could feel their unparalleled determination and perseverance.
"Sure enough." Liu Xun stood at the head of the city, watching the crazy offensive of the Han army, which he had not encountered two days ago. It seems that this time Liu Xun wanted to take down Luocheng in one fell swoop regardless of the casualties.
However, although the Han army's offensive was fierce, Liu Xunsi didn't care about it. There were still three hours before Zi Shi. He didn't believe that the Han army could immediately take the city head and occupy Luocheng without an absolute advantage.
As long as the night comes, the Han army will be exhausted after a day of fierce fighting, and will have to rest and sleep. This does not give them a chance to leave the city.
Thinking of this, Liu Xun's mouth wore a triumphant smile.
"General." Liu Wei strode forward. Behind him was a soldier transferred from elsewhere. He came to Liu Xun. Liu Wei clasped his fists and pointed behind him, and said, "These are the ones I came from. The guards in the city and the soldiers brought by the other three city gates are not many, but they are enough to support this wave of attacks by the Han army."
Liu Xun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Enough, Liu Xunqing's army wants to fight Luocheng. It is too impatient. If he can't attack for a long time, morale will definitely fall, which just gives us a good opportunity to escape."
"The son is very true." There was also a knowing smile on Liu Jing's face...
