    Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 54: Battle with Xiangyang (3)

    The situation was critical, and reinforcements entered the battle as soon as they arrived at the east city gate.  *Zhang Zhong, the official, also threw off his official robe while running, grabbed a spear and joined the battle circle.  Three rebels rushed up on the city wall and knocked over two guards in the blink of an eye. Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhong stepped forward quickly. With a flick of the spear in his palm, he quickly and incoherently knocked over one of the guards. The other two men rushed forward as soon as they got together.  Zhang Zhong took his time and stepped back slightly. The spear turned into a big stick and he swung it left and right. The two men were immediately knocked sideways. The guards who had their hands around handed out their spears in unison. The two rebels  The army immediately settled the account

    Lin Nan was confused by what he saw before him. Did he really see it?  Judging from the current situation, if Zhang Zhong is a traitor, he does not need to go into battle personally, especially before, he also specifically explained the doubling of sentry posts. Everything seems to be connected.  Show his integrity and loyalty.  But Lin Nan is still a little worried. Considering the matter itself, he would rather guess, but he still can't make a conclusion now, because the war in front of him cannot allow for omissions, and a single thought of smiling may lead to  The huge change in the war situation may we can only wait until the war is over to know what the situation is like

    At the moment, Zhang Zhong was fighting with his spear, and he was surrounded by guards guarding the city wall. Lin Nan watched in secret for a while, and gradually felt relieved.  Zhang Zhong himself was at the forefront of the defense, and he was surrounded by people. Under this situation, Zhang Zhong seemed to have no chance to do anything else except fight hard.  What's more, the current battle is above the city wall. As long as this place can be defended and the city gate is not lost, the entire Xiangyang City can be saved.

    Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He turned to look at the inner city gate and saw two teams of guards constantly carrying heavy top logs and blocking cars, resisting the rebel attack at the main gate.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Xiangyang City, South Gate.

    Three hanging ladders were tremblingly erected on the top of the city wall. From bottom to top, nearly a hundred ferocious-looking rebels rushed up from the hanging ladders with strange screams. The first few were extremely brave, fast and anxious.  After swinging out his sword and driving back the defenders on the city wall, he put one arm on the wall and jumped onto the wall.

    Suddenly

    Suddenly there was a heavy sound of wind above the head, and a huge black shadow instantly enveloped several rebels. Several people subconsciously raised their heads, but they only saw a pile of huge log sections growing rapidly in their field of vision. They had no time to make any decisions.  In any reaction, the heavy wood that was manipulated at the top of the city swayed, and the four or five fierce rebels who had just rushed up were immediately knocked into the air and flew into the air. One of the rebels' heads was thrown directly with a click, and was actually thrown away.  The edge of the tree broke the neck with force, and blood was scattered all the way as the body fell, and there was a dark red everywhere.

    The sound of killing was loud all around, and the sound of the crossbows was gradually drowned out by the sound of people, but the stone carts on the corner platforms of the southeast and southwest city walls were still roaring in a low voice. The huge slings were placed on the fixed racks of the stone carts.  As the guards used their strength to activate their engines, the hurled stone drew an arc from the city wall and smashed down like a hill in mid-air. It hit the rebels on the ground with a bang, and a stone suddenly appeared on the ground.  A huge dark red empty space. However, soon, the mixed red, white and black empty space on the city wall was covered without a trace by more black people.

    Yu Yong slashed a rebel with a knife, reached out and took off a piece of flesh hanging from his ear, and couldn't help but lick his chapped lips.  From the beginning of the battle to now, it has been a full hour.  Where are people?  Where is everyone else?  Yu Yong thought about it, and glanced to the east and west, but he only saw pitch black. The few remaining wind lanterns did not shine far in the darkness. Within his field of vision, there was only one person Yu Yong wanted to see.  Didn't show up either.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    North Gate.

    Liu Wencai hid under the parapet inside the city gate, looking at the city gate that was constantly being hit and shaking, and his face twitched.  On weekdays, Liu Wencai was very good at following people and delivering information, but now that the two armies were facing each other and fighting with real swords and guns, he was timid in the first place.  The dense rain of gunfire and arrows in front of him, with torn thighs or broken arms flying with blood from time to time, scared Liu Wencai out of his courage.  At this time, let alone holding a knife to kill people, even standing by the wall, he was a little unsteady

    But, he didn¡¯t dare to run.  Because he has orders and missions.

    He has been working with Qiu Biaoqiu Qianhu in Xiangyang City for five years. Although the reality may not satisfy Liu Wencai, his life is not miserable.  If he were asked to put down this mission, he really wouldn't be able to do itand over the past few days, he has also experienced the severity of the horrific punishments in Feiling Guards, and how miserable the fate of those who committed crimes were.  .  Therefore, even though he is now frightened to the point of trembling with fear, he stillI can only hide at the inner city gate, but from time to time I will be dragged in by the battle in front of me

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    East gate.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    A huge stone was shot from the top of the city. After drawing an arc in the air, it hit the hanging ladder in mid-air. The huge impact immediately broke the hanging ladder in half and broke the rebels who were still charging madly upward.  Immediately they lost their center of gravity, and the people on the first half of the ladder crashed hard towards the city wall as the ladder hit the city wall. The second half plummeted towards the ground. The sudden turn of events caused many rebel soldiers to fall off the ladder.  Suddenly, it was like dumplings falling in the air, and the falling soldiers caused even greater casualties among the crowd.

    At this moment, two of the five hanging ladders at the East City Gate have been discounted. Although the remaining three are still constantly being rushed up by rebels risking their lives, they will always be repelled by the defenders.  With the reinforcements of the garrison, although there is still a huge gap in numbers with the rebels, they still have the geographical advantage and the East City Gate is still firmly in their hands.

    Peng

    Lin Nan shook the war spear in his hand, knocking the steel knife from a rebel's hand, and passed a spear from the side, piercing the rebel's right rib.  Just as Lin Nan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly several flying hooks flew up from under the city wall. Lin Nan quickly rolled on the spot and dodged away.  When he raised his head, he saw the commander of the capital, Luo Tian, ??standing not far away, surrounded by dozens of retinues behind the guards.

    At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and a touch of fish white appeared in the east.

    Although Lin Nan was a little further away, he could still see Luo Tian's somewhat pale face.  Lin Nan sighed secretly, lowered his eyes and did not continue to look. He turned around with the war spear in hand and entered the battle again.

    As the sky gradually gets brighter, everyone¡¯s vision becomes wider.  Taking advantage of the opportunity to challenge the two rebels, Lin Nan secretly looked down at the city, and his heart suddenly sank again.

    The darkness gradually receded and the sky gradually became clear. Looking down the city, all I could see were the spear poles and helmets of the rebels. Only a rough calculation showed that the rebels numbered at least two thousand people. This was only in the East City Gate and other cities.  The situation at the door Lin Nan thought about it and was not optimistic.

    Lin Nan's worry did not last long, because after only half a cup of tea, the rebels, who were already showing signs of decline, suddenly stopped attacking.

    The bloody old soldiers who were rushing upward on the hanging ladder retreated one after another. Those who were unable to retreat or had no time to hide were knocked down by the wolf fangs and mulberry trees at the top of the city. The long hanging ladder was either withdrawn or was blocked by the guards.  He was pushed to the side and slid to the ground along the city wall.

    As the daylight dawned, blood stains were scattered everywhere on the city walls. Bodies lying horizontally and vertically, broken arms and legs, and heads with blurry flesh and blood that could not be seen in their original appearance could be seen everywhere. More people were covered in blood and groaning.  Wounded soldiers After the battle, Lin Nan only took a rough look with his eyes and realized that the loss of the city guards must be at least one-third.

    On the other hand, below the city, after the rebels stopped attacking, they tidied up their troops briefly, and then quickly retreated. They did not stop until they were out of the range of the catapults and ballistas on the city defense.  Dozens of feet below the east gate city, corpses were left on the ground with their broken armor, broken spears, and cracked heads thrust into the soil. Only their legs were left leaning toward the sky among the piles of corpses.  The umbrella ax cut off the rebel who was only half a body but not completely dead Looking around, within a few miles outside the east city gate, the clothes and armor were scattered, red and white, and there were all kinds of things everywhere.  The dead bodies were originally placed at the bottom of the hanging ladder. The fallen and broken bodies even piled up into several hills.

    A miserable scene

    Even though Lin Nan was cruel-hearted during the battle, he couldn't help but be touched in his heart. In an instant, he shifted his sight to the rebel ranks in the distance.

    Where did this army come from?

    The three Dongjiang guards under the command of King Wu?  Or the soldiers of Prince Huai's Mansion?

    Lin Nan was confused, and at the same time, a thought suddenly popped up: Dongyang Guards Li Xian fought fiercely all night, where are they?  Has it appeared elsewhere or is it still hiding in the dark?  While thinking this, Lin Nan turned around subconsciously and looked towards the commander Luo Tian behind him.

    With the cessation of the rebel offensive, the guards at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief.  As soon as the tense nerves relaxed, everyone immediately rushed to the exhausted body. The wounds on their bodies also became unbearably painful in an instant. They were not aware of it during the battle, but now the pain is a bit unbearable.

    Zhang Zhong picked up his long sword and repeatedly rubbed it against the corpse of the rebel in front of him. After sheathing the sword, he naturally looked down the city and frowned - there were too many rebels.  Looking at the opponent's flags, armor, swords and guns, Zhang Zhong immediately realized that the army in front of him would be difficult to deal with.  And the battle that lasted nearly half the night seemed to prove this.

    ? ?"Lord Tosi, this is not the way to go."

    Beside Luo Tian, ??another official, Deng Liang, ran out of breath from the military road, with wet blood still dripping from his face.

    The early morning light shone on Luo Tian's face, but it still couldn't dispel the chill above it.
