The cold wind is whimpering, like crying and complaining, and it is heartbreaking, like the whimper of the wife who misses her husband.
The weather in the western cool realm is even colder than that in the Guannai, and it has only entered October, and there is already a trend of wind and snow coming.
Under the city of Didao, a tragic battle is being staged.
With the fierce sound of war drums, countless soldiers carried ladders and braved the rain of arrows, shouting and killing to rush towards the city wall.
Woohoo The arrows on the city tower poured like rain, and more than 100 soldiers of the Liang Army fell silently without even snorting, but no one flinched, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back immediately went up, stepping on the corpses of the soldiers in front and continuing to rush forward, always maintaining the integrity of the offensive formation The bravery of the Xiliang people comes from Ma Chao before the army, although the "Shenwei Tian General" has been defeated many times recently, it is against the Yan King who is like a god, but at this moment he is facing the former Xiliang soldiers, and the main general Yan Xing is just a defeated general under Ma Chao, and these people are crazy like chicken blood.
It's like a sixth-grade elementary school student being beaten up by a third-year junior high school student, but when you meet a fifth-grade elementary school student, you naturally move forward one by one.
After losing hundreds of people, the Xiliang army finally attacked the city tower, dozens of ladders were erected high, and then the live ladders were raised high, the sharp hooks flashed with cold light, and they were fiercely put on the wall, and countless Liangjun soldiers scrambled to climb up.
On the tower of the city, a pot of boiling water poured down, and the hot Xiliang soldiers who were sacrificing their lives to climb opened their skin and flesh, screaming miserably.
One by one, the long forks desperately pushed the ladder outward, and the soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground like stones with a miserable howl.
What's even worse is that the spoonful of hot golden soup is simply a life-threatening poison.
The so-called golden soup is the boiling dung juice, once it is burned, the wound will be infected by the bacteria in the fecal juice, in this era of no military doctors, lack of medicine, serious infection of the wound means a dead end.
Xiliang people are not afraid of death and are proud of dying in battle.
Even though the corpses under the city were piled up, the soldiers besieging the city still rushed forward one after another, and many soldiers rushed to the head of the city and fought bloodily.
On the city tower, the defender of Di Dao City, Yan Xing, was scattered in a cloak, like madness, holding a steel spear in his hand, stabbing at the enemy soldiers who climbed up, the shadow of the gun flashed, and one after another the enemy soldiers were stabbed down by him.
A bloody battle lasted from morning to noon, and the corpses and bones on and under the city were full of blood, and it was terrible to see.
If Gongsun Bai was present at this time, he would definitely be very heartbroken, because both sides of the war were the people of the Han Dynasty.
Finally, with the sound of gold under the city, the besieging soldiers retreated one after another and stopped attacking.
Yan Xing was covered in blood, and the spear in his hand was pointed at the city tower and laughed: "Ma Chao'er, but that's it." ”。
Ma Chao said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you Yan Xing won't live for three days, and there are only more than 2,000 defenders, I see how long you can hold out." ” After speaking, he waved the tiger's head Zhan golden spear and led the army to slowly retreat.
After resting for more than an hour, Ma Chao made a comeback, this time fighting more fiercely than in the morning, and even Ma Chao jumped on the city and killed all sides.
Shocked, Yan Xing led dozens of elite veterans of a hundred battles to rush forward and fight back desperately.
The space on the city tower was narrow, and Ma Chao couldn't show it, and he fought for a long time before retreating from the city.
In this battle, thousands of corpses were thrown down the tower.
Yan Xing fought desperately to repel the surging enemies and avoid the fall of the city.
However, he knew that this was just a matter of survival, and the destruction of the city was only a matter of the past two days.
Ma Chao under the city wall sat in the sand and flew up, staring coldly at Yan Xing in a bloody battle, looking like an old cat teasing a mouse.
He just wanted Yan Xing to be exhausted from the battle, and then he personally went out to capture it in one fell swoop, so as to vent the resentment in his heart for several months.
At sunset, the soldiers of the South Gate, who were attacking the most ferocious, finally stopped.
Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Liang army under the city for a long time without saying a word.
The corpses of soldiers who had died in battle lay on the ground above and below the city, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
As for the other three gates, he was not very worried, after all, Ma Chao's ladders were all concentrated in the south gate, and the south gate concentrated Ma Chao's most elite soldiers, and the other three gates, with the help of the divine arm crossbow, plus all kinds of city defense equipment, it was a joke to attack the city.
Ma Chao's four-sided attack was nothing more than to let him divide his troops to defend it and reduce the defensive strength of the east gate.
He looked at Ma Chao's slowly retreating army, turned around and asked, "How is the situation with the other three gates?"
The guards on the side hurriedly said: "Except for Ma Xiu at the north gate, the other two gates have all retired with Ma Chao. ” Yan Xing sneered, got down from the city tower with a steel spear, flew on his horse, and ran to the north gate.
The remnant sun is like blood, and a fierce battle is still going on under the north gate.
A siege wooden ladder was erected at the head of the city, and countless Xiliang soldiers climbed up desperately along the wooden ladder, but they were either smashed by the rolling stones and wood at the head of the city, or they were poured with gold juice to open the skin and flesh, and the entire wooden ladder was pushed down and injured a large area.
Without the ladder, it is impossible to break the city unless the crowd tactics and the continuous onslaught at all costs, and now Matthew just wants to fight the defenders of the north gate at all costs.
Surrounded by all the soldiers, Yan Xing quickly climbed the city tower, and saw that under the banner of the enemy army, Matthew was dancing with a long sword, hysterically commanding the soldiers to rush forward one after another, and even killed several retreating Xiliang troops one after another.
Yan Xing couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily: "Take my crossbow" The personal guard behind him immediately handed over a divine arm crossbow and a six-foot-long wolf tooth arrow to Yan Xing.
Yan Xing didn't say a word, loaded the arrow on the crossbow, and the arrow was aimed at Ma Xiu under the banner.
Matthew was more than three hundred paces from the city, a safe distance for common sense.
Even if it is a big rhubarb, it is not possible to wear Lu Min at the end of a strong crossbow at a distance of three hundred steps, and more importantly, ordinary soldiers have no way to aim at a target three hundred steps away.
However, the divine arm crossbow can be used, and Yan Xing can do it shout The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and under the strong strength, the wolf's tooth arrow flashed away like a streamer, and went straight to Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu, on horseback, was shouting hoarsely, when a small colonel came in a hurry and shouted: "Second son, pass on the lord's order, it is getting late, please withdraw your troops immediately" At the moment when Matthew turned around, just about to say something, the streamer had already come like electricity, just avoiding Matthew's sight, and it could be seen that it shot Matthew in the neck. burst The arrow burst through his neck, and the long sword in Matthew's hand fell to the ground, and his hands scratched in the air, as if he wanted to grab something, and then fell under the horse with a pop, and could not get up again.
In the north gate tower of Didao City, countless soldiers of the Gongsun Army cheered one after another, while the Xiliang Army under the city was in chaos in an instant.

The night is deeper, and the dew is deeper.
At the north gate of Didao City, Yan Xing stood on the city tower with a steel knife in his hand, looked at the north gloomily, and sighed: "After all, I can't wait for His Highness's reinforcements." ” After Ma Xiu was shot, Ma Chao became more and more sad and indignant, and attacked frantically for a whole day, only killing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood at the head of the city, not only the Xiliang people were killed and wounded three or four thousand, and the more than two thousand Gongsun troops were only one thousand or four hundred, and there were many wounded, so I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for two days, and there is no other way except to retreat.
"Ding" an iron hook hooked up to the city tower, several soldiers hurriedly guarded the iron hook, and a Gongsun army slowly climbed up the city tower and rushed to Yan Xing.
"Report to the general, there is no movement of the enemy troops, except for the patrol soldiers, who are all asleep."
Yan Xing nodded, and looked down the city tower, except for the few sentry guards on the city tower, more than a thousand cavalry had already assembled in the north gate, neatly waiting for the order to break through.
Yan Xing was about to walk towards the city tower when he suddenly heard a loud commotion from inside the city, and he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and hurriedly ran down.
A hundred people rushed over, and before he could speak, Yan Xing roared angrily: "What's the noise, are you afraid that the rebels don't know that we are going to break through?"
The hundred generals wept and said: "The people in the city heard that the general was going to abandon the city and break through, and they were worried that they would be killed by the rebels, so they all gathered and wanted to advance and retreat with the general. ” This time, Ma Chao detoured into Longxi County, came on a light horse, originally looted all the way, countless innocent people were brutally killed, and countless women from good families were destroyed a few days ago in the old city, because of the help of the Gongsun army to resist the rebels, after the city was broken, more than 20,000 people in the city were killed nearly half.
This was the military disaster, the population of the Three Kingdoms period decreased sharply, and tens of millions of people did not survive after the Battle of Chibi, and the main reasons for this were military disasters, plagues, hunger and drought.
This is also the reason why the people of Xinye crossed the river with Liu Xuande.
Yan Xing said in shock and urgency: "I can't wait for more than a thousand soldiers and horses, if I break through with tens of thousands of people, wouldn't I wait for the rebels to kill us and others?"
He hurriedly strode over.
Tens of thousands of people are gathering in a chaotic manner, shouting and crying, they are holding the old and the young, some carrying luggage, some pushing wheelbarrows carrying important items, and some carrying burdens, like a crowd of people who have escaped from the famine.
A few older people were elected as representatives, and they were loudly arguing with a few generals.
Seeing Yan walking over, the commotion in the audience stopped abruptly, and tens of thousands of people, under the leadership of those elderly people, fell to their knees.
"Please don't abandon us, general" Yan Xing stared blankly at the people on the ground, speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he shouted loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, it's not that Yan is willing to abandon you, it's just that the rebels are too urgent, if we lead you to break through together, the whole army will be annihilated."
Now that he has the trust of all the fathers and villagers, Yan will hold on for two more days and wait for the reinforcements of King Yan, if two days later" Before he could finish his words, suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from outside the city.
Yan Xing's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Hurry up to the city tower" The Gongsun army was in a big mess, and rushed towards the four city gates in a chaotic manner.
A flying horse rushed over: "General, the enemy attack at the West Gate, please go to the rescue as soon as possible" Yan Xingfei jumped on his mount, whipped away, and galloped towards the West Gate.
Just ran to the bottom of the West Gate Tower, the defenders on the city tower were already boiling, and the excited cheers resounded over the city tower: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming" Yan Xing only felt that the two warm currents in his eyes almost burst out of his eyes, and hurriedly ran up to the city tower in three steps and two steps.
Under the moonlight, the Ma Tie Xiliang army that saw Ximen from a distance was in chaos, and a large number of cavalry like rolling waves were crushing, and the Xiliang army that killed Ximen was overwhelmed and fled to both sides.
Soon, the cavalry that was like clouds and snow completely crushed the Ximen Xiliang army and rushed over like the wind.
One of the fierce generals who rushed to the front, a white horse and a silver spear, carried a human head, and rushed to the bottom of the city tower as if flying.
"General Yan, Changshan Zhao Zilong came to help you" to be continued
