Dongfang Jing still had a steady look on his face.
Before coming to Hezhou, he was a little afraid of death. This is the truth. My lord has not accomplished his great cause and the troubled times are still going on. How can he be willing to die?
But now, he found that there was no trace of fear anymore. If he hadn't been a lame man, he would have picked up a knife and fought to the death with the guards.
Huge stones were thrown roaringly from above the head.
Dongfang Jing didn't look sideways and sat calmly under the inner wall. Up to now, he has done his best to defend this border Hezhou.
"Little strategist, it's almost dawn." The guard came hurriedly, his voice full of fatigue, "The Beidi people's siege army suffered heavy losses in the battle. But even so, they are still launching a strong attack."
"It's natural."
Dongfang Jing finally raised his head and looked at the glimmer of dawn in the sky.
When he was a young boy, he liked to read in the morning. Holding a volume in hand, he sat on a stone pile in the ruined courtyard and read at noon and then at dusk.
Then he went into the house, lit a tung oil lamp at the head of the house, and read the glimmer of dawn in the sky.
Reading taught him principles and strategies, but it could not teach him where to pursue the light in this world. Until he met the young Marquis and his lord.
The lame man Dongfang Jing had a lifetime of struggle and pursuit.
"Li San'er, please pick up a knife for me."
The guard was stunned, "What's the use of a little strategist?"
On top of the city, the dead guards had not yet had time to move their bodies. Not only the defenders, but also the civilians also died.
The smell of blood and gunpowder smoke stung my nose for a while.
"Holding the knife, if the Di people board the city, there's no way I can stab one to death." Dongfang Jing said with a smile.
"Little strategist!" the guard said in a sad tone, "If the city is destroyed, we will send the little strategist out of the city even if we are shattered to pieces! When we came, the lord said that no matter what method we use, we must protect the little strategist."
"No wonder you." Dongfang Jing said calmly.
He thought the most about time. However, the Beidi people were extremely powerful, and despite the epidemic, they still launched a forceful attack at all costs.
Until now, the group of Zhongyuan Zhongyong in front of him can be called heroes.
"San'er, pick up the knife."
The long knife was stained with blood, staining the originally dirty Confucian robe even more bloody.
Dongfang Jing sat with his sword in his arms, his expression extremely calm.
"The lame man Dongfang Jing will defend Hezhou to the death. Thousands of dogs, please come!"
…
"kill!"
The Beidi people who ascended first fell one after another, but behind them, there were phalanxes one after another. Taking advantage of the lack of defense, they frantically climbed up the city ladder and climbed up the city wall with knives in their mouths.
A group of civilians carrying boiling water had just arrived at the city. Before he could move, he was hit by a flying arrow and rolled down the city ladder.
The overturned boiling water burned the body until it was red, and the steam was pungent.
The first group of Beidi people finally stepped onto the city wall. They waved their long swords in ecstasy and chopped down the nearby tired guards until they fell off the city wall.
"The gap in the east! Wei Ziying, fill it in for me!" On the other side of the city, Chen Xian could see clearly and shouted hurriedly.
Unfortunately, as soon as the voice fell, he had not yet rushed forward. He was instantly shot through the chest by a hidden arrow, and fell to the ground coughing blood.
Under the order, the last hundred or so defenders of the Wei camp roared and rushed towards the Di people who had ascended first.
"No, there are more and more Di dogs coming to the city!"
The gap became wider and wider, and the crazy Beidi people, like wolves among sheep, climbed up the city wall with knives in their mouths. Not far away, the ladder truck also started to unfold the ladder.
The Weizi camp with more than a hundred people only rushed to the gap, and only half of them were dead. The remaining ones were all covered in blood and scarred, and they were breathing heavily, one after another in the smoke.
"Your father's Digou! Die with me!"
The leader of the Weizi camp discarded his long knife, stretched out his arms, rushed towards the three or four Di people, used his last strength to push forward, and all fell down the ravine.
The rest followed suit.
A young prince from Di was stunned for a moment when he saw this appearance.
The spearman next to him came roaring and stabbed the young Marquis of Beidi until he threw his head back and screamed, and fell down the city.
"Quick, fill the gap!"
At this time, even the civilians under the city wall picked up their weapons and filled the gap.
Once filled in, there are many faces that we will never see again in this life.
"Little military advisor...Generals Chen and Chen Xian died in the battle, Li He, the leader of the Weizi camp, died in the battle, and Ma Chong, the leader of the Huzi camp, died in the battle..."
Dongfang Jing closed his eyes in pain. He could calculate that there were less than a thousand defenders left at the top of the city.
It's noon.
The war seemed to be entering a dead end.
…
"Look, Khan, Hezhou can't be defended!"
Tuoba Hu stared with ecstasy on his face. He could see that Hezhou was really no longer able to be defended. The gaps are growing.
Under the city, although his Beidi army suffered heavy losses, the charging phalanx was still attacking.
"Okay, destroy Hezhou! Even if that cripple died in battle, I will whip his body! Shock the Central Plains!" Tuoba Hu gritted his teeth, with hatred in his tone.
Twenty thousand remnant troops, plus a little lame man from Xishu, blocked him for such a long time.
"Congratulations to Dahan." Shenluzi beside him also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little lucky that the strategy had always been right. Although the process is difficult, no matter what, Hezhou will be conquered.
"Before dusk, there should be no problem in destroying the city." Shenluzi said firmly.
"Then it's up to you."
At this moment, Tuoba Hu also laughed out of hatred.
…
"Cao Long, the leader of the Mengzi camp, died in the battle, and Wu Feng, the general of the Bu Gong camp..." Beside Dongfang Jing, the guards burst into tears.
"Little strategist, why don't we take you out of the city!"
Dongfang Jing shook his head, "If I leave at this time, I will be a fool. As I said before, if the Di people come to kill me, I hold a knife and I can't possibly stab anyone to death."
"A certain Dongfang Jing is also a loser in Daji."
"Little military advisor, keep the green hills..."
"Following the footsteps of our ancestors will lead to green hills everywhere." Dongfang Jing laughed. If there was wine at this time, he wouldn't be able to express his feelings.
"It's dusk, a little worse, just a little worse."
On the top of the city, more and more Di people were boarding the city. Even the city gates began to be hammered by city ramming vehicles.
"Wild Wolf Tribe, be the first to take the lead!" A Di people general with a strong back and a strong back shouted impatiently as he saw the number of defenders getting smaller and smaller as they climbed onto the city wall.
More than a dozen guards, holding knives and gritting their teeth, closely guarded Dongfang Jing.
The defenders on the top of the city still did not accept their fate and used their last strength to kill the Di people who climbed up the wall.
The Di people general from the Wild Wolf Tribe was still shouting with a knife in hand. While speaking, he chopped down an approaching defender with two swords.
"If Hezhou is destroyed, your skin will be ripped off——"
At this moment, in the smoke and noise.
An extremely pleasant sound suddenly sounded.
To the south of Hezhou, the few frail old soldiers who were left behind rode over on skinny horses, all speaking in unison, but with a hint of ecstasy.
"Report to the young military advisor and General Chen. Yuzhou Army General Le Qing has arrived in Hezhou with 30,000 reinforcements!"
Hearing this sentence, Dongfang raised his head and laughed, until there were tears in his eyes.
…
At the south gate of Hezhou, a huge army was running towards the north gate at a rapid marching speed without any time to rest.
"Yuzhou Leqing, I have been ordered by my lord to come to the aid of Hezhou! I am willing to kill Di Gou with all the loyal heroes of Hezhou!" A sturdy general rode on horseback and carried a sword, his voice filled with overwhelming anger.
Behind the general, countless Yuzhou black armors roared angrily.
"The Yuzhou Army is willing to kill Di Gou with all the loyal heroes of Hezhou!"
"Kill Di Gou together——"
…
