Chapter 23 The Siege of Fuzhou
Volume V War and Peace Chapter 23 The Siege of Fuzhou
Let me tell you what tragedies, comedies and farce are. There is a person who has loved swimming since he was a child. His lifelong ideal is to stand on the podium of the Olympic Games. After 10 years of hard training, he finally mastered his skilled skills, understood the essentials of movements, and confidently applied for qualification. As a result, he found that he had learned dry swimming for so many years. This is a tragedy. When he was about to give up on himself, the news suddenly came that the Olympic Committee agreed to list dry swimming as one of the official competitions, which was a comedy. Then the farce is - this guy drowned during the game...
This is what happened to me today: an invincible sword god, he stood up at the time of danger, shouldered morality and righteousness, the chivalrous bones reflected the benevolent heart, and turned the tide. He was such a hero, and then he was almost squeezed out of the tower and fell to death...
In short, my battle was successful. Although Shi Cundao was a little worried at first when he heard the word "Long live", he was soon relieved. In extraordinary times, both soldiers and the people need a backbone and a hero. Even if Zhu Xiaofeng was present, he should not have any objection.
According to Shi Cundao's prediction, Dan Tailang will not take action for at least three days. After this defeat, the Haggis army lost countless siege equipment, which did not hurt his vitality, but from the perspective of morale, he should also take a rest, but his idea was soon proved to be wrong - probably on that night. When it was ugly, the war drums outside the city sounded again, only three hours between the day and the day! At first, Li Jian thought it was a suspicious trick. When he saw that the countless ladders opposite had been erected by the lights of the gate, he had no choice but to blow the assembly horn. At that time, I had already taken a nap. When I heard that the enemy attacked the city again and yawned to the door, he couldn' The ground attack is particularly abnormal for an old and heavy marshal. Although the night attack is a little convenient for the Haggis, it is obviously a bad move to launch a sea of people tactics in vain before there is no effective plan!
During a meal, the sky in the direction of the gate was full of countless lanterns, and at the same time, there was a faint shout of killing. It seemed that the enemy's attack was not weaker than during the day. I leaned on the door frame and hesitated. I didn't know whether I should go to the city to fight again. I had used swordsmanship once during the day. After such a short time, I don't know if I can be summoned it. At this time, Shi Cundao sent someone to conveyed his message, which meant that I didn't I was afraid that I would abuse the sword gas and finally run out of oil, and this battle will last for a long time. It is impossible to rely on me to relieve the siege every time. He deliberately wanted to take out the defenders to practice. I think that this is really a situation that can't be done, so I have to agree.
But it can be imagined that I can't sleep at all this night. The soldiers were born and died in the city, while their heroes hid in the house to sleep? This kind of psychological pressure made me jump from under the bed as if I had been burned by fire at dawn. As soon as I got out of the house, Zhang Shilei and others had been waiting there for a long time...
I came to the downstairs and saw that it was already a mess. Before the torch of the soldiers defending the city could be extinguished, the head of the city was full of feather arrows, and the wounded were carried down and placed in a row at the foot of the city, but the order was still in good. Li Jian personally commanded The soldiers gave way one after another. When they learned that the sword god was coming again, the Hong Lie army suddenly cheered again. No one had any complaints. In their opinion, it seemed that it was natural for me to defend the city for me to sleep all night. I was full of guilt and came to Li Jian's side and looked up from afar. I saw that Wild, but the attack is still going on. A team of soldiers carrying the ladder test the endurance of the city in an orderly manner. Even if a team retreats after being broken up, it will continue to attack after re-integration. Both the attack and defenders are anxious and tenacious, and the inside and outside of the city wall are rendered with a breath of death. I At the first stop, the Haggis Army also seemed to be shocked, and the offensive obviously weakened a lot. The morale of the Hong Lie army was greatly boosted. After a fierce shot, a safe area with a radius of 100 meters was finally cleared under the city. The soldiers could take a nap for a while.
Li Jian wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with relief, "Di Zai, you came at the right time."
I said inexplicably, "Why are Haggis' grandchildren so tight?"
Li Jian said, "The siege of the city is actually the hearts of the people. The purpose of doing this is to show that he has the determination to take Xinzhou. He attacks day and night, hoping that our people will change for a long time."
I said, "The question is, why does he think he can take it down?"
It was only a moment to speak, and the drums sounded again in the Heggis army. This time, the offensive echelon was more neat than ever, and even dozens of siege towers appeared in the queue. They ate a depress during the day, and now they put this kind of thing out to demonstrate. I said angrily, "Damn Na!"!
The two armies fought again, but this time the soldiers on both sides were a little absent-minded, that's because - they are looking at me intentionally or unintentionally. There is no doubt that as long as I stand in the sky now, the battle will become without suspense, so not only the Haggis soldiers are passively waiting for me to I'm waiting for my performance.
But I only have a wry smile in my heart. In the past, there was a buffer when I started with people or needed to use sword spirit. Even if the life-and-death duel with Wei Wuji on that day was not as urgent as today. At this moment, the lives of tens of tens of thousands of people are all on the front line There was no reason to warm up. At this time, I was in a hurry and said to Li Jian, "Third Grandpa, I want to ask you for some tips."
Li Jian wondered, "This... I'm afraid it's not the right time, right?"
"Now is the right time!" With that, I didn't care about Li Jian's confusion and confusion. He started to fight with him in front of him, which confused the soldiers on both sides. Obviously, the war was on the side. How could the two commanders of Xinzhou City fall at the top of the city compared with Wu?
Seeing that the soldiers were confused, I reluctantly smiled and said, "What should you do? General Li and I will dance for you!" He said that he was not slow at all and stepped up his attack on Li Jian.
Since I learned the Buddha's light, I have been unfavorable to others, but the sword magic skill and the Buddha's light are both backward ways to control people. My rush to expose this point of ignorance. Li Jianrong's life was also a master at the level of swordsmanship, which was originally right. It was more than enough to pay me at this level. He was almost surprised to see that my moves were vulgar and my sword spirit was thin, but in spite of this, as soon as he counterattacked, he immediately fell into the disadvantage, and the more exquisite his moves were, the more restrained he became. He guessed in his heart that it was probably because I was a In the end, my moves are ugly no matter how ugly they are, in Li Jian's opinion...
The two of us fought for more than 30 moves. Li Jian punched me. I suddenly flew up involuntarily and suspended in mid-air - my sword spirit finally did not disappoint people. Finally, he grabbed me again. Li Jian was stunned and looked up and said crazily, "Where can I win you?"
I laughed and floated over the head of the Haggis army under the city, and said with my hands behind my back, "Do you still want to come forward?"
The soldiers of Haggis looked at each other and looked back together. At this time, the sound of gongs came from behind them at the right time, so the guys threw the things in their hands and ran back with a sigh. The defenders in the city couldn't help laughing at the funny scene.
I casually chopped up what was left by the Haggis soldier, and then flew to the wall. He shouted very foresightly at the crowd who wanted to rush to congratulate me, "Don't come over!" ......
At this time, Shi Cundao also came to hear the news, with mixed feelings on his face. He pulled me aside and whispered, "Are you using your sword again? Can you still hold on?"
I sighed and said, "I ate two more bowls of rice and got it back. We can kill a lot of people."
Shi Cundao sighed, "It's just that you've suffered."
Before we could say anything more, someone suddenly handed Pu Qixiong's handwriting. Shi Cundao opened it and glanced at it. I asked, "What's the matter?"
Shi Cun said, "I want someone in the old Pu Dynasty."
"Who is it?"
"You." Shi Cundao smiled and said, "The letter says that Zuo Jun is already stationed in Fuzhou. Lao Pu wants you to rush over and discuss military affairs with you - he doesn't need to discuss military affairs with you. This old man is polite. I think he probably has a problem with me to take you alone." Speaking of this, Shi Cundao said with a look, "Well, most of the Black Gees army has also launched a strong attack on Fuzhou. He needs you to go back and help him defend the city. Goro, I'm afraid you can't rest in a short time..."
I said, "That shouldn't be too late. I'm leaving now."
"How do you go?"
I jumped into the air, and Shi Cundao smiled in astonishment, "Ha ha, I'm confused about this. That's good. You can rush to Fuzhou to meet him as soon as possible. Anyway, make sure that Fuzhou is safe."
I nodded and looked at the direction of Fuzhou flying to the south.
The three states of Li Xinfu are not close to each other. The corner of Lizhou and Fuzhou is located around Xinzhou. This Fuzhou is in the southernmost part of the Honglie Empire. From Xinzhou to Fuzhou, it takes half a day. I flew for about half an hour and saw the gate of Fuzhou. When I fell down, I couldn't help Next, there were also countless Haggis soldiers and horses attacking around the city wall. The defenders on the city resisted bravely, and the people inside and outside the city kept hissing. Fuzhou City is much lower than Xinzhou City. It seems that the fortifications are not built neatly. The tide of Haijis's infantry rushes to the city. Many people have followed the ladder to the head of the city. That is to say, the battlefields of both sides have reached the critical point of this line of defense. As long as the He After that, the only way to fight against the enemy is to have a cruel street fight.
I was so shocked that I almost subconsciously sent two swords. The ladders standing on both sides of the tower were suddenly cut off a lot, like a pile of collapsed wheat straws. Many Haggis soldiers fell off the ladder before they could react. The high place fell into a serious injury, and the low place was hit by the high place, and the screams came one after another for a while.
In fact, not only the Haggis soldiers, but also the Hong Lie army did not figure out what was going on. When they fought, they saw the enemies that had rushed up and disappeared at the top of the city together. They had no time to find me at all. Although I was the deputy commander of the Left Army, I had not had a chance to cooperate In this case, the soldiers of the Chinese army probably guessed that I was here.
I temporarily resolved the Fuzhou crisis and landed at the head of the city. It was Pu Qixiong who commanded the battle. It was reasonable that he was a deputy marshal-level general. He didn't have to do anything to defend the city, but the attack was fierce, and he had to supervise the battle himself.
As soon as I landed, I asked, "What's the situation?"
Puqixiong said, "Since yesterday evening, Hegis has begun to attack the city in a large way, day and night without interruption. The soldiers have been guarding for more than a dozen hours."
I asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold it?"
Puqiong said, "That depends on what you say. Without you, you can stay for half a month at most. With you, it's hard to say."
I was surprised and said, "So Fuzhou can't be defended in the end?"
Pu Qixiong looked at the people around and said in a low voice, "I can only tell you this - Heggis has a 2 million army. Do you expect to block so many people outside the country with just a Fuzhou city?"
I thought so, and muttered, "I haven't thought about it like this before. What should I do if the city breaks the people?"
Puqiong said, "You can only take as much as you can take away, and you can't care about the old, weak, sick and disabled."
"Then we must keep it."
Puqiong said, "It was not difficult in the past. Do you know that this letter was broken in the three cities of Li Fu in the war against the black war."
I said, "I don't know about this."
Puqiong said, "But all the soldiers know that we are now on the first line of defense that has been broken through. No one thinks that we can defend for as long as we are waiting to retreat, so people's hearts fluctuate. This is a taboo to defend the city."
I nodded and said, "I see, these three are cannon fodder cities, which are dedicated to retreat." This is the same as the potato mines placed in the first row in Plants vs. Zombies, and it is not expected to hold on to the end.
Puqiong said, "But I just said that if you are included, you may not be able to keep it in the end." With that, he raised his hand and said loudly, "Generals, your left former general and sword god have come to defend the city with us. Do you have the confidence not to let the gangsters of Haggis go further?"
The soldiers in the city held their weapons high together and shouted, "Yes!"
I have heard too many cheers in just two days. With every cheer, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is much heavier. I am their greatest hope and support. To be honest, this feeling of carrying the life and death of a million people is not good. From now on, my every move will be close to these people. It's inseparable. Even if I'm choked on the soup, it's bound to become the news that shakes the whole army. No wonder those people look forward to the red when they are not popular and try their best to win the eye. If they are really popular, they will strictly guard against the paparazzi. In terms of popularity, I now have at least
The Heggis army inexplicably lost a wave of offensives and soon made a decision to retreat. The commander around Fuzhou City should be Wu Sizhong, and Wu Sizhong is no stranger to my existence. He obviously understands that this is not a good time to attack.
Looking at the enemy retreating like a tide, Pu Qixiong said, "Today's battle is over, and I don't know when the next attack will be - what's the situation in Xinzhou?"
I said, "It's almost the same as here. Heggis is pressed like being pulled by his tail. I just came over there, and Grandpa's pressure is not small."
Puqixiong pressed my shoulder and said, "Stay here. Fuzhou needs you."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Now it seems that I am needed everywhere."
Puqixiong said, "I was originally a servant under the command of the marshal. There is no difference between you and the left army of Fuzhou and the Chinese army, but obviously Fuzhou needs you more. You have also seen that Fuzhou's city defense is weak, and the number of Lizhou and Xinzhou defenders is much larger than that of my left There will be nothing to do inside, but all three states will be lost. If we lose our defense, the whole Hong Lie Army will be passive.
I said, "Grandpa also told me that Fuzhou can't make mistakes."
Puqiong said, "It's not only Fuzhou, but also Lizhou. In those years, Heijis attacked the three states of Xinlifu, and the two states were quickly broken. Only Xinzhou persisted, but it was useless. Fuzhou Lizhou made a mistake. The Heggis surrounded Xinzhou from all directions and cut off all its supplies, It became a dead city, and the people had nothing to eat. In the end, they could only change their children and eat, and the city was full of corpses.
I shook my head and didn't know what to say.
In this way, as a former general, I temporarily settled down in Fuzhou, where the left army is stationed, but this has an advantage. I can meet with Stijia and the green calyx again.
Since Shi Donglai made trouble, in fact, many people have known that I have hidden two girls under my command, and later it is almost a well-known secret. Fortunately, Shi Cundao has no time to be serious with me, so the two girls stayed. Naturally, no one dares to bully them with their identity, but what they see and hear every It's all about the things in the barracks, which is boring for the girl's family.
The two girls were jumping and jumping when they saw me, and they were extremely happy. Stijia took my hand and said, "Fifth brother, now everyone is talking about you."
I laughed and said, "Let's talk about you. Are you going to stay in the barracks like this?"
Shi Dijia said with a sad face, "I haven't decided yet, but I don't want to marry a big horse monkey anyway."
I smiled and said, "Then you two have to find another place to live. General Pu said that Fuzhou City may be captured at any time. In case I don't have time to take care of you..."
At this time, the green calyx brought two cups of tea and said, "Don't say that. The young master is tired for a day to drink tea."
Before I picked up the cup and waited to drink, a soldier suddenly rushed into the tent and said breathlessly, "General...General, Haggis has begun to attack the city again!"

A big chapter seems to be returned, but it seems to owe two more small chapters... Oh, my God. The recent chapters are all to set off the atmosphere. It is difficult to write and obscure, and it will be clear later. RO
