Chapter 55: There is no way back


A sharp horn came from the air, and the sound of the horn became denser and more palpitating.

This is different from the drum and trumpet of the Zhou people, and the soldiers standing on the city wall looked and saw a car driving out of the gold camp in the distance, followed by the Yongyong Jin soldiers.

The trenches had already been filled in, and the potholes could not slow down the cars.

These carts at this time differed from the previous shield carts in that they were covered by armor and had long ladders on them.

Compared to the ladder that was carried by the golden soldiers before, this is a more powerful siege weapon.

The war drums on the city wall also sounded, and groups of people rushed up the city wall with wooden barrels.

Standing by the outer wall, they didn't have to look down to see the dense golden soldiers rushing in, and heard the fierce shouts and killing.

Maybe it's because I've seen too much and become numb, not as panicked as before.

The golden soldiers have poured under the city wall, but there are no bows and crossbows on the city wall, firstly, the siege vehicles are tightly guarded, and many golden soldiers are hiding behind them, and the bows and crossbows are not lethal enough, and secondly, there are not so many crossbow arrows.

The siege engine approached the walls, and the sound of a thud seemed to shake the entire wall.

The people on the city walls were still not panicked and confused.

"Pour" Until an order is given.

The men dumped the barrels, and all sorts of oil were poured down the walls, followed by another group of people who lit the torches and threw them down.

A fire rose from under the city walls, accompanied by the screams of the golden soldiers.

"Rolling Stones" The waiting people on the other side pushed down the logs and stones in front of them.

There was chaos outside the city gates, and ghosts cried wolves.

The men who had poured the oil did not appreciate the embarrassment of the golden soldiers, and they had already hurried down the city wall, while another group of people carrying wooden barrels were rushing up, and the two teams passed by.

Countless people were running under the city walls, large barrels of oil were pushed out, and groups of people waited in line.

Carry oil, go up the city wall, run down, carry oil again, go up the city wall, and so on back and forth.

Screams outside the walls rang out one after another, but the crowd didn't laugh as they had done the previous times.

Although he didn't know how to fight, but now he relied on the hot wood oil to repel the Jin soldiers, and the people felt that things didn't seem so good.

Why don't you use that powerful stone bullet from the Aoyama Army?

The stone bomb has been used once, which not only opened the eyes of the people, but also frightened the Jin people who did not dare to attack the city for two days, and retreated for twenty miles.

But these few times the Jin people came to attack the city again, but they did not use stone bullets again.

"Stone bombs are suitable for long distances, and the Jin people have arrived in the city, so stone bombs are useless."

A member of the public whispered that this was an explanation given by the officers and soldiers.

It seems to make sense, but there's something wrong with it.

In a day or two, the Jin people's attacks became more and more fierce, but the stone bullets were never used again.

"Isn't it like a crossbow bolt, it's not enough," another muttered another.

When these words came out, the people who heard it around me only felt like falling into an ice cellar in this spring March, and their bodies were cold.

Looking at the Jin soldiers who had to retreat because of the boiling wood outside the city, the generals looked very annoyed.

"I thought that the city could be captured in three or four days, but it hasn't been taken for more than ten days."

A golden general said angrily.

"A city with less than a thousand soldiers is going to force our tens of thousands of troops to besiege the city," said another Jin general with a frown.

There is no shortage of rice and drinking water in the capital, and if the city is besieged, it can be carried for a year and a half.

The people of the capital can resist, they can't resist, after all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and what can be attacked here is fast, if the war drags on for a long time, and the reinforcements from the north and south arrive, they have no chance of winning.

"Originally, I thought that the people of this capital had been indulging in wealth for a long time, and they had no courage, but I didn't expect that they would be defeated without one blow."

General Jin sighed with a deep expression, "After holding on for so long, people's hearts have not been turbulent, and it seems that morale is stable." ” These words made the other Jin generals even more anxious, and they were noisy for a while, but Yu Chihai, who had been silent, suddenly burst into laughter.

"As I expected."

He said.

As he expected, he couldn't capture the capital "Lord Yu, if we can't capture the capital this time, the emperor won't spare us."

A golden general said without being salty.

To be exact, he won't spare Yu Chihai.

It was because of listening to his lobbying that the emperor raised the strength of the whole country to fight with the Zhou people with countless warriors' flesh and blood, and after the victory, he obtained countless wealth from the Zhou people and strengthened the Jin country, but if this battle failed, their gold would inevitably be consumed and the national strength would be greatly damaged.

These Yidi, who looked vicious but were actually timid, Yu Chihai was not ashamed of his words, and his expression was indifferent.

"They don't have this kind of stone bullet.

There was no Aoyama Army in the city.

He said, pointing to the city.

The generals present were stunned.

Because of that kind of stone bullet, they almost gave up attacking the city and fled, but Yu Chihai insisted on trying again, and now it seems that after trying these two times, there is really no stone bullet to hit again.

Yu Chihai took a step forward and sneered.

"It turned out to be just a bluff."

He said, "This morale is only boosted by stone bullets, warriors, don't be deceived by them." ” It turned out that he was deceived The Jin generals scolded the southerners one after another, and they were really treacherous.

"There are no reinforcements outside, no defense force inside, I see how long their morale can last."

Yu Chihai sneered and said, "Warriors, from now on, we will take turns attacking the city, day and night, let us become the nightmare that these Zhou people will never wake up from." ” With a sharp roar, sharp arrows flew from under the city and landed on the city wall with oil fire, and then a rain of rockets followed, even if the wet bedding was laid, and the walls were lit up with flames.

There was also a wail, and many young and strong people had no time to escape being injured by the rain of arrows, and the city wall was in chaos.

But this is not more terrifying, looking down from the outer wall, the ladders on the city wall are set up one after another, and the dense golden soldiers are climbing up.

And in one place, a soldier watched as one hand grabbed the city wall, and then a human head appeared, with pointed armor, and a fierce description, which was very different from that of the Zhou.

Golden Soldiers Golden Soldiers It turns out that the golden man looks like this.

This thought flashed inexplicably through the soldier's mind, and the whole person seemed to have been emptied, holding the weapon and falling into a stupor.

The screams in his ears woke him up, and then he saw two soldiers pushing their horses and crashing into the golden soldier who had just climbed up.

The spikes pierced through the golden soldiers, and the two soldiers pushed the man down with the horse with a single force.

This caused a string of golden soldiers to fall from the long ladder.

"Kill."

With the old shouts.

The five soldiers clenched their spears with pale expressions and stabbed at the golden soldiers who came out one after another.

They seemed to have forgotten their fears, and just waved their spears mechanically.

There was a sound of fighting everywhere on the city wall, this fight was not too long, and soon the golden soldiers who climbed up were killed, and the young and strong people who organized up again pushed the fire oil down the horse, the ladder broke, the golden soldiers fell, and the fire and stones under the city wall continued to roll wood.

Another wave of attacks was repulsed, but there was not the slightest joy up and down the walls, corpses and blood were everywhere, the fire was still raging, and the atmosphere of grief and sorrow was even stronger.

Under the city wall, the grizzled people crowded under the eaves of the houses facing the street to avoid the attacks of the golden people's bows and crossbows, and the wounded soldiers and people were carried down from the city walls, and their appearance was terrifying.

"It's been two days and two nights without stopping," someone muttered, "we don't even have bows and arrows, and we're going to have to rely on hand-to-hand combat." ” "This time the golden soldiers have already climbed the city wall, and there will be more next time."

Someone also whispered.

No one is expecting stone bullets anymore.

"Officials are liars."

One of the citizens said suddenly, looking up with anger.

A figure on the city wall burst into his sight.

It was a little child, standing in the middle of the gate, standing as tall as a flagpole beside him.

The angry eyes of the people dissipated.

Even in such a dangerous situation, King Huai still stood on the city wall.

"It would have been a death to run out at the time, but now I stay here and have a little more time to live."

An old man said with a sigh.

But in the end, it had to be death.

There was a moment of silence.

"Well, you see what the Jin man said," a voice suddenly sounded low, "if you surrender, you can not die."

In the past few days, although the rain of arrows of the golden people has fallen into the city, there are still some white cloths with writing on them.

The content is to persuade surrender, as long as the surrender opens the city gate, the Jin people promise not to hurt the people.

This kind of cloth was quickly collected and burned by the government, but some were still picked up by the people and spread.

"It's really nonsense, can you believe what the golden people say?"

an old man raised his eyebrows and shouted, looking at the person who spoke, "If the golden people's words are credible, why are they here now?"

The Jin people originally negotiated peace, but now they are calling again.

The people around were stunned.

"So don't take their word for it."

The old man said loudly, "We must hold on, if the city is not broken, we will have hope of life, and the Jin people will not be able to besiege us for long." ” The surrounding people nodded yes, but the morale was not as good as before.

The atmosphere in the entire capital had fallen into a slump at this time, and Ning Yan, who was standing on the city wall, sighed lightly.

"Lord Ning."

Miss Jun's voice sounded behind her.

Ning Yan turned around and saw Miss Jun coming over.

"Men are to be assigned to guard the gates."

She said in a deep voice.

At this time, people's hearts are already unstable, and if someone is deceived and opens the gates, then they will have lost all their efforts.

Ning Yan nodded.

"It's already arranged."

He said.

"I guess the Golden people will attack tonight."

Miss Jun said.

Ning Yan nodded.

"They're bound to win."

"Push it out," he said. ” "We have no way back, and we are bound to win."

Miss Jun said, "As long as they can't enter this city, we will win." ” For more than ten years, the military and civilians have to stop the Jin people from breaking the city even if they are hand-to-hand combat.

Ning Yan understood what she meant.

"King Huai, it's okay," he asked.

Miss Jun looked back at the tent, and King Xian had also come over, talking to King Huai.

"What are you going to do if the Jin people break the city?"

asked King Xian, patting his stomach.

His expression was relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial matter of what the weather was like.

King Huai's expression was serious.

"This king will kill himself."

"It will never fall into the hands of the golden people," he said. ” King Xian looked at him and shook his head.

Is it wrong, King Huai is a little puzzled.

"Not suicide."

King Xian said, "You should jump off the city wall and smash one to death." ” King Huai suddenly nodded seriously.

"Uncle Huang is right."

He said.

King Xian patted his stomach a little proudly.

"But you can only kill one of them."

He said, "This king will definitely be able to kill two." ” Hearing this, Miss Jun couldn't help laughing, and Ning Yan also smiled.

As soon as the smile started, I heard a vibration in the distance, and the faces of the two changed slightly, and the people on the city wall also turned pale.

The Jin people are going to attack again, and this is not even giving a respite.

It was already twilight, and the Jin people didn't even care about the taboo of attacking at night, which showed their determination.

"Fight."

Ning Yan said, turned around and strode away.

The drums of war sounded heavily in the city, and the countless footsteps in the streets were noisy.

Chen Qi stuffed a piece of cake in his hand into his mouth three times and two times, and handed over a bowl next to him.

He turned his head to see Fang Jinxiu.

"Why are you here" he asked vaguely, took the bowl and drank it all, swallowed the cake, and looked at Fang Jinxiu again, "So, you might as well not come to the capital." ” Originally, the ticket numbers of the Fang family in Yangcheng had not been separated, so it stands to reason that they should not come.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him.

"It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise I'd have to think about your life and death every day."

She said, "It's better to die together." ” Chen Qi smiled.

"You want to die with me."

He said.

Fang Jinxiu's expression was blank.

"I mean Jun Zhenzhen, not you."

She said.

Chen Qi laughed, but didn't say anything more, and stuffed the bowl to her.

"There are not enough people in the city, and now we are starting to ask for more young people to go to the city."

He said, pausing for a moment, "I'm going." ” With that, he turned around and strode away, and soon blended into the crowd running in the streets, like a rolling tide, and walked towards the city wall without hesitation.

Miss Jun was still standing on the city wall, and she could clearly see the golden soldiers rolling in again.

Whether you can hold the city or not depends on tonight.

"Miss Jun."

A voice rang out in the back.

Miss Jun turned around and was a little surprised to see someone coming.

"Mr.

Gu."

She said.

There were four or five people standing behind him, and the leader of them was Mr.

Jiu, Mr.

Gu.

After Jiu Yi was picked up by King Xian, he forgot about him.

However, Lu Yunqi is gone, and there is no one to guard King Huai's Mansion, so it is normal for Mr.

Gu to come out at any time.

In view of Jiufu's various performances, Miss Jun did not have much hostility towards this Mr.

Gu, but had some respect.

Jiufu is now being raised so well, of course she doesn't think that Jiufu was born.

"Why did you come here, sir?"

asked Miss Jun.

Mr.

Gu took a few steps closer with a warm expression.

"Lord Lu has some arrangements before leaving."

He said.

Lu Yunqi Miss Jun was stunned and looked wary
