"Brother Nian! Brother Nian! Something happened!"
Early in the morning, the exclamations of Zeng Lingchuan and others woke up Gu Sinian from his sleep.
Last night Gu Sinian led someone on the night watch and didn't sleep until late at night. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids.
"Um, what's wrong?"
Gu Sinian woke up suddenly and subconsciously grabbed the scimitar beside him:
"The Yan army is attacking again?
What are you all doing here? Defend! "
"No, not Yan Jun!"
Zeng Lingchuan said in a panic:
"Xibao Village, the people from Xibao Village are missing!"
"How can it be!"
Gu Sinian's expression changed instantly.
In the archery tower with an excellent view, a few eyes were looking at the opposite hillside with some absentmindedness, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.
That fortress was supposed to be guarded by Chen Baihu and his group, but now, the flag of the Yan army was planted there.
Everything happened suddenly~
"Captured? How is that possible?"
Gu Sinian said blankly:
"There was no fighting all night yesterday. If the Yan army made a sneak attack, we would definitely see it.
Why, why did you put the Yan army flag~"
It was very quiet in the arrow tower. The eyes of several other people flickered, as if they had something to say.
"It's not that it was captured."
Yan Hu clenched his fists and looked extremely sad:
"They withdrew! They ran away!"
Yan Hu said what everyone was thinking. It was absolutely impossible for the Yan army to capture Xibao Village silently. It didn't look like the defenders had surrendered. The only possibility was that the defenders on the opposite side had voluntarily withdrawn. .
"Damn! What are they doing!"
After a long silence, Lin Yihuai cursed first:
"Didn't we agree to hold on for half a month? They withdrew without saying a word. Did they ever think about us?
asshole! "
Everyone was obviously in a bad mood. The opponent retreated without a fight, and the flank defense line was lost. They were equivalent to being abandoned by their own people.
"Woo~wu~"
Without giving them much time to discuss, a shrill horn sounded outside the fort.
That's the signal for the Yan army to attack!
"Okay, just say a few words."
Gu Sinian walked out with a cold face, holding a knife:
"Repulse the Yan army first!"
…
"Attack! Charge them all to me!"
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
Dozens of Yan soldiers rushed forward along the slope in front of the village wall. The soldiers in the front row held shields in their hands, while those in the back held scimitars and carried bamboo ladders.
"Don't mess up!"
Gu Sinian shouted:
"Hold your crossbowmen! Wait until they walk in before firing your arrows!"
Everyone's hearts were in suspense and they kept looking at the advancing Yan army.
"Now! Let it go!"
Gu Sinian's palm fell hard.
"Whizzing!"
"Pfft, pfft~"
"Thump thump~"
"Dengdeng~"
"Ahh~"
Dozens of arrows flew out from the top of the wall. Some were blocked by shields, but all of them hit the Yan soldiers' heads. One after another, enemy soldiers fell on the way to attack.
Not to mention, the crossbowmen trained by Zeng Lingchuan and Wu Xiang are quite effective and their sights are not bad.
After withstanding two waves of arrows, three or five bamboo ladders were finally set up beside the village wall. Several Yan soldiers pressed against the lower end of the bamboo ladder to prevent them from slipping.
"attack!"
"Kill!"
The angry-eyed soldiers of Yan climbed up despite the rain of arrows. The distance of just a few steps was a dangerous barrier that they could not overcome even after two days of attacking.
"drink!"
"I'll crush you to death!"
The blacksmith moved a huge stone and smashed it hard.
"Bang~"
"Pfft~"
The stone hit Yan Bing's forehead, and the unlucky man's brains burst out and died on the spot.
"Be careful, don't fall into the cold arrows of Yan Jun!"
Gu Sinian followed the corner and patrolled everywhere, telling his brothers to be careful.
"careful!"
Seeing a guy standing dumbfounded and at a loss, Gu Sinian jumped to the ground and threw him to the ground, yelling:
"Don't show up! You don't want your life!"
The moment he was knocked down by Gu Sinian, a sharp arrow flew over, almost killing this guy.
"Um, wh-what?"
The soldier was obviously a little distracted, and the fierce battle scene frightened him.
"Damn it, why are you so stunned!"
"Snapped!"
Gu Sinian slapped the soldier on the face:
"Take up your sword and fight!
If you want to live, you have to work hard! "
"Yes Yes!"
This guy finally came to his senses, and after trembling a few times, he gritted his teeth and threw himself into the battlefield.
It's not that Gu Sinian is unkind, but in this situation, if you are not careful, you will die. It is definitely better to get a slap to remember things than to lose your life.
"attack!"
"Kill!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Pfft, pfft~"
"Ahhhh~"
Perhaps because of the withdrawal from the opposite hill, the Yan soldiers' offensive momentum today was several times more violent than yesterday, and their troops were much larger.
Wuyangyang's heads rushed upward, and there were countless Yan troops waiting in the distance, ready to take over the attack at any time.
"West side! The Yan soldiers on the west side are climbing up soon!"
"Careful! Stop them!"
Seven or eight Yan soldiers were clever and clever. They took advantage of the Liang army's confusion and sneakily climbed up from the west side.
"Oh shit!"
The blacksmith pulled away from the north and made a move:
"You guys come with me!
Let's go kill Yan Bing! "
"kill!"
The blacksmith was so brave that he picked up a log from the corner and threw it at Yan Jun.
"Pfft~"
The three Yan soldiers, unable to stop the blacksmith alone, were pushed off the wall and suffered a bloody head injury.
Gu Sinian also appeared here, slashed a Yan soldier to death, and roared:
"Brothers, kill!"
"kill!"
…
The fierce battle lasted all day, and it was not until dusk that the Yan army stopped attacking.
There were many more corpses around the village wall. The injured brothers could only bandage them a few times at will. As long as they could move, they had to continue to participate in the battle.
Thanks to the fortress being easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders suffered few casualties.
In a wooden room on the second floor, several heads gathered together, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Gu Sinian said silently:
"Stop being bored and tell me what you think?"
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth."
Zeng Lingchuan was the first to speak:
"I just took a look outside and the Yan army has completely surrounded us.
In other words, starting from tomorrow, Yan Bing will attack from all directions, and our defensive pressure will greatly increase.
With our manpower, it may be difficult to defend on all sides. "
They thought they had occupied a dangerous position, but who would have thought that the people in Xibaozhai withdrew without even saying hello, resulting in Gu Sinian and the others being completely surrounded.
The situation is extremely bad!
"Brother Zeng is right."
Lin Yihuai said angrily:
"They ran very fast and left us here to die!"
"Brother."
Zeng Lingchuan gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:
"If it doesn't work, let's withdraw. While the Yan army's encirclement has just been established and their foothold is unstable, we still have a chance to stand out.
If you leave too late, you won’t be able to leave! "
"Can't evacuate! No one is allowed to leave!"
A cold shout suddenly resounded in the room, and it was not Gu Sinian who spoke, but Yan Hu, who was sent by Chu Beizhan.
Everyone looked at it and Yan Hulang shouted:
"I have come under military orders and will hold the fort for half a month!
Half a month is not up, no one can leave! The Yan army wants to cross the fort unless we all die in battle! "
Zeng Lingchuan frowned:
"Brother Tiger, it seems to you that Captain Chu sent you to supervise the army?"
"This has nothing to do with Lieutenant Chu!"
Yan Hu said expressionlessly:
"This is the military order, we must act according to the military order!
If you leave at this time, you are a deserter!
You are a coward! "
Perhaps the word "deserter" stung Zeng Lingchuan and Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang immediately took action:
"Damn it, who are you calling a deserter!
We can kill as many thieves as you can! No one is a coward!
But now the defenders of the West Fort Village have retreated, and the Yan army has surrounded the East Fort Village, with a force ten times larger than mine!
Tell me how to keep it! "
"Keep it with your life!"
Yan Hu’s eyes widened angrily:
"The walls of Youtun City have not yet been repaired. Once we withdraw, once the Yan army attacks the city, more brothers will die!
After all, Dongbao Village has a difficult terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is an advantage for us! One hundred of us are here to stay and fight to the last soldier! "
"Oh shit!"
Zeng Lingchuan also became angry and said with a cold face:
"What if we have to leave?"
"rub!"
Yan Hu instantly drew his sword and stood alone at the door:
"Unless you step over my body!"
"Click!"
"You are so impudent that you dare to draw your sword. I have rebelled against you!"
Zeng Lingchuan and Wu Xiang also drew their swords simultaneously, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.
"Step aside!"
"No! No one is allowed to leave!"
Yan Hu's eyes were extremely firm, even if he was alone, he was not afraid at all.
"Put the knife down!"
"Put it all down!"
Gu Sinian finally spoke, with anger in his tone.
"Put it down, put it down quickly."
"Brother Tiger, please put it down, don't worry, we will discuss it."
The blacksmith and Lin Yihuai hurriedly stepped forward to start a fight and forcibly suppressed the knives of several people.
Although the knife was put down, several people were still angry and staring.
“Is internal strife useful when we are facing a formidable enemy?”
Gu Sinian said coldly:
"Brother Xiaohu is right. The military order requires us to guard for half a month, so we have to guard for half a month. We have no control over what others do.
Brother Zeng, what was the first military order I issued when I entered the camp? "
Zeng Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied dejectedly:
"Obey military orders! Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
"Just remember."
Gu Sinian looked around the room:
"I know it's a difficult situation, but we can't retreat!
Now I give everyone a chance. If you don’t want to die, walk through the back wall.
After tonight, no one is allowed to leave without my order!
Is there anyone leaving? "
No one moved, Zeng Lingchuan sat down:
"If you don't leave, if Brother Nian doesn't leave, we won't leave either!
Fuck them! "
"Yes, do it with them!"
Yan Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:
"We will do whatever Mr. Gu says! I will definitely not withdraw!"
"Well done, you're not a coward!"
Gu Sinian said in a deep voice:
“Don’t worry too much, everyone.
Although the people from Xibaozhai have withdrawn, they will return to Youtun City to bring back the situation here. Reinforcements will definitely come to reinforce us.
The situation is not that bad. "
Everyone nodded, and their mood relaxed a lot.
“But when we fight Yan Bing, we must be prepared for the worst.
From now on, defensive battles must avoid casualties as much as possible. Every life is important.
Materials such as feathers, arrows, ordnance, and food must be used sparingly, and nothing should be wasted. Do you understand? "
"clear!"
Everyone drank in response.
"Bang bang!"
Gu Sinian made a fist with his hand and slammed the table:
“To borrow what Brother Tiger just said.
Either hold the fort or fight to the last soldier! "
"promise!"
