The sound of fighting on the city was getting louder and louder. As long as he could not hear the sound of the Jin army's stone bullets falling, Li Jian knew that the Jin army must have climbed onto the city wall. The two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, but the Jin army's arrows He kept ejaculating. He led people to patrol the city. There was a lively killing outside the city, but the city was deserted. Whenever he approached the north city gate, there were screams of fighting, drums and horns, and the sound of weapons clashing. On his chest, he really wanted to go up and have a look and have a fight. When he was thinking about finding someone to replace him to do this troublesome job of patrolling the city, he saw his uncle Li Tianxuan leading a large group of cavalry passing through the city. He immediately rode up and asked, only to learn that Li Tianxuan was ordered by Li Mao to lead the cavalry out of the city to fight. , he was originally injured. Although he was mostly healed, he still had many inconveniences. However, the war was such that he had to go out of the city to fight the Jin army.
Before leaving, Li Tianxuan smiled and said to Li Jian: "Watch me chop that Qiu Feng later!"
But Li Jian was very worried about Li Tianxuan's injury and said, "Second uncle, you must be more careful!"
"Don't worry, the knife that can kill your second uncle hasn't been struck yet!" After saying that, Li Tianxuan led the cavalry out of the city.
After another inspection in the city, when Li Jian and his people passed the North City Gate again, it was already past afternoon, and they saw several messengers running down from the city to ride horses. One of the messengers was shocked when he saw Li Jian. He shouted: "Young General!" Li Jian saw him running up to him and asked, "What's the matter, but you ask me to guard the south gate again?"
"That's right, the general did order the young general to go to the south gate." The soldier who ordered the order said.
Li Jian ignored him and walked around the city for a long time. He could hear fighting in the city, but he couldn't help. He had long been depressed enough. He was like this, and probably the group of soldiers behind him were also like this. He turned around Looking at the soldiers behind him, he asked loudly: "Will you follow me to the city to kill the enemy?"
The soldiers under his command all turned red in the face and shouted loudly that they were going to the city to fight.
"But," the soldier who sent the order became uneasy, "Young General, the General ordered you..." Before he could finish speaking, Li Jian interrupted him, "This is an emergency. If you go up earlier, you can retreat earlier." Jin Army. You also go to the south gate and tell General Guan there to allocate some men to patrol the city. It will be much faster for me to lead people to the city than for him to come from the south gate. Go quickly to avoid any delays." After that. Then he led his people to the north gate of Luojing City.
The messenger had no choice but to rush to deliver the message.
On the city wall, it has become a mess.
There are countless ladders burning with fire close to the city wall. Arrows continued to shoot in from the thick smoke and flames outside the city. Countless long ladders were set up on the city wall. One by one, Jin soldiers climbed the ladders and jumped up to the top of the city. They screamed and waved the cold light. The long knife struck into the crowd. The corpses lying on the ground almost covered the entire city wall. Liang Jun and Jin Jun slashed at the corpses with red eyes.
On the city wall still occupied by Liang Jun, the soldiers guarded the battlements. As long as a head popped up, they would strike with a knife without even thinking about it. However, often the sword would hit the shield with a dull sound, or a long-held sword would be stretched out from the battlements. The spear arm was so strong that it stabbed.
The arrows were almost exhausted, and Liang Jun was no longer able to carry out intensive volleys; the stone bullets were exhausted, and the soldiers operating the trebuchets had already climbed to the city to fight; the giant arrows of the spears and crossbows had long been exhausted, but Liang Jun's soldiers also had methods. They used the few remaining spear crossbows to fill the pockets for firing jackdaw arrows with stones and then fired them into the city. They could also make the Jin army below the city scream, but the stones were round and blunt objects, so they were very lethal. After all, it's not as good as Jackdaw Arrow. The gray bottles and rolling logs were exhausted, and only the stones were available. In fact, it could not be said that they were stones. What the soldiers took in their hands and smashed down the city with all their strength were the walls, bricks, and roof tiles that had been removed from the residences in the city.
A large section of the city wall has fallen into the hands of the Jin army. There is a ladder against the city wall. The Jin soldiers are running up to the city through the ladder. The Jin soldiers see that this section of the wall has been rushed up by their own troops. After being seized by others, they struggled to push the remaining ladders to change direction and slowly move towards that section of the city wall. A man who looked like a general of the Jin army ran up to the top of the city from the ladder carrying a flag. He waved the big flag to the Jin army below the city. Suddenly, the crowd of Jin troops below the city burst into cheers.
Li Mao pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked gloomily at the fighting on the city wall. Suddenly, a wave of horse hoofbeats came. He looked down the city and saw Li Tianxuan leading Liang Jun's cavalry from one side of the battlefield to kill them like a slash on a piece of tofu with a dagger. The entire Jin army's tidal formation cut across it. Along the way, horses trampled on human bones, swords slashed heads, and waves of blood pierced out from the other side of the Jin army's formation.
The Jin army's cavalry wandering on both wings also moved, blowing their horns and charging toward Li Tianxuan's cavalry menacingly.
However, Li Tianxuan did not give them a chance. With an order, Liang Jun's cavalry turned their horses and rushed over from the Jin army below the city. These two rounds of attacks relieved a lot of pressure on Liang Jun in the city. There was a gap like two roads in the dark Jin army. The ladder approaching Luojing city wall was caught by the rope hook they threw and pulled with the help of horse power. They collapsed suddenly, and Li Tianxuan was too lazy to swing his sword to chop. He leaned forward slightly on the horse, stretched out the saber in his hand, and moved the blade forward. With the high speed of the horse, he harvested the Jin army's heads like ears of wheat.
Li Mao nodded, but when he turned around, his face became even more gloomy. He saw a Jin army general planting a Jin army flag on the wall of Luojing City. There was a ladder there, and the Jin army kept going up. Although his own people fought to the death, they could not get close to the city for a while.
Just when he turned around and wanted to find someone to say something, he saw another city wall not far away. Several Liang soldiers were falling down like hedgehogs, and several Jin soldiers were jumping up from the long ladder. Well, it would be bad if it was lost there too. But there was no one around to send, and most of his generals were fighting hand-to-hand with the Jin army on the city wall, so he ordered his subordinates who were protecting him to recapture that section of the city wall. The task of those subordinates was to protect Li Mao's safety. How could he be willing to leave Li Mao here? He was so angry that Li Mao cursed: "If this city is destroyed, I will die! Why don't you go quickly!" The servants had no choice but to leave two to protect Li Mao personally, and the rest went to the enemy. Pounce wherever you go.
Li Jian also saw the Jin army flag erected on the city wall. He stepped on the dead body at his feet, swung his long sword in his hand and killed it. He must pull out the flag and take back that section of the city wall! He was furious in his heart.
A spear suddenly appeared from the back of the soldier Liang who was fighting in front of him, and almost stabbed Li Jian. With a scream, the soldier Liang began to fall softly, and Li Jian didn't wait for the spear. With one thrust, the long sword was thrust into the throat of the Jin soldier who had just killed someone. When drawing the sword, he moved forward and smoothly pulled out the long sword he was wearing from the waist of the Jin Jun who was covering his neck and slowly falling limp. As soon as he took out the knife, he slashed diagonally with his left hand, cutting off a spear that was thrust into his ribs. He stabbed straight with the sword in his right hand, and the tip of the sword passed through the left eye of the Jin soldier who sneaked up on him and went straight into his head two inches. Then the swords and swords were twisted together, and several Jin soldiers who rushed over were either beheaded or had their throats pierced.
Further forward, the spear in the hand of a Liang sergeant was pierced into the abdomen of a Jin soldier. The seriously injured Jin sergeant held a knife in one hand and held the spear pierced into his own belly tightly with the other hand. He also used it. With all his strength, he held the spear tightly with one hand, making the soldier Liang who stabbed him unable to withdraw the weapon for a moment. The other hand waved the long knife randomly, screaming and wanting to chop the opponent to death. When Li Jian passed by them, he cut off the wrist of the Jin sergeant with a sword. The Liang sergeant immediately withdrew his spear and immediately raised his arms to grab the other one. The spear of the severed hand pierced the Jin soldier's chest again.
During the chaotic battle, the front of Li Jian's armor was soaked with blood. As more and more Jin soldiers lay corpses under his sword, he found that he had gradually stepped from the unbearable heat into a pleasant one. In the coolness, the more chaotic and dangerous the surroundings became, the clearer and clearer his mind became. It was even said that on this blood-refining hell-like wall, his mind felt peaceful and calm as never before.
It was a strange feeling that he could clearly know when the Jin army facing him would touch him, whether it was a long knife or a spear thrust towards him, or the arrows fired one after another from the city. You can avoid it by dodging lightly, and then extend your long sword, specifically looking for the opponent's eyes, throat, wrists and other places that cannot be protected by armor. When there are many people, you can almost kill them with one step. Li Mao is already old and weak. Even Li Tianxuan will feel inferior when he sees this.
Those Liang soldiers who followed Li Jian to fight were even more surprised. They saw the major general holding a sword in his right hand, a long knife in his left hand, a shield and half a spear in his left hand, and his arms were dancing like the back of his head. He also had a pair of eyes and could see clearly from both front and back, but the Jin army could not hurt him at all. They were killing him all the way until the Jin army's blood spurted out. This scene greatly inspired the soldiers of Liang, who shouted like tigers and joined the flock of sheep. Generally cull the past.
The general of the Jin army who rushed to the city to plant the flag also noticed Li Jian. He was obviously surprised that there was such a brave person in Liang's army, but when he saw it clearly, he realized that he was actually a half-year-old child. He moved forward to separate the Jin soldiers, picked up two iron bone flowers and threw them at Li Jian.
Li Jian gently turned aside and let Tieguduo pass. The long sword in his right hand followed silently. With a gentle touch on the throat of the Jin army general, the Jin army general immediately lost Tieguduo and covered it with his hands. Plasma spurted out from his throat and between his fingers. He stared at Li Jian with wide eyes in disbelief. Li Jian saw that he was strong and fearful that he would not die, so he stabbed the Jin army with half the spear in his left hand. The general's right ear was pierced into his left ear, and the Jin general's eyes turned white and he fell to the ground. As soon as the general died, the Jin soldiers who invaded the city were horrified. When Li Jian saw this, the soldiers of Liang cheered and shouted and killed him.
Arriving in front of the Jin army flag, Li Jian held the hilt of the sword with both hands, twisted his body, and cut the arm-thick flagpole into two pieces with a clang. The Jin army flag that was originally fluttering in the wind was curled. Falling from the wall of Luojing City into the pile of corpses below the city, the hopes that had just risen in the hearts of the Jin soldiers below the city were also dropped.
Liang Jun on the city gave a burst of cheers.
"Burn it!" Li Jian pointed at the ladder and ordered. At this time, all the Jin troops on this section of the city wall had been killed.
"Here!" the soldiers responded loudly, and soon found kerosene and other fire starters. Soon the ladder was ablaze.
Li Mao's eyes widened and he realized that the man who neatly killed the Jin army's warriors who climbed the city and cut off the Jin army's flag with one sword was actually his grandson. He couldn't help being surprised and worried at the same time.
I was pleasantly surprised that my grandson was so brave. I was worried about what to do if something happened to this kid. His son asked him to be sent to fight outside the city. It was extremely dangerous. When he gave the order, he prepared for the worst. If the grandson makes another mistake, if that happens, the Li family will be left with a lonely old man. What’s the point of living? Didn’t he send him to guard the south gate? Why did he come here? But he couldn't say this now and had no chance to say it. He had to nod at Li Jian from a distance. But in his heart he cursed Qiu Feng, if something happens to one of my sons or grandsons, I will risk my life to take you to be buried with him.
