- Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 64: Battle with Xiangyang (12)
"Oh? The battle at the top of the city looks like a fierce tiger," Zhang Zhong praised, looking at Lin Nan with great interest as he spoke. *As he watched, Zhang Zhong's eyes narrowed involuntarily.
"Whose family are you from?"
"Huh?" Lin Nan couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously taking precautions.
Zhang Zhong smiled and asked, no need to be suspicious. "Zhang Zhong held his rice bowl and waved to Lin Nan, pointing to me. I am not yet forty years old this year. I am not too old to be dim-sighted. I still have some experience in observing people, haha"
Lin Nan felt relieved, Zhang Zhong's words were somewhat untrue. From his childhood in Changning Mansion and the Capital until he grew up in the palace in the past ten years, Lin Nan's temperament has been completely different from that of ordinary people before he knew it. Even in front of some high-ranking officials, he was not at all intimidated by his appearance. color. Although he was on the battlefield at the moment, his skin, temperament, behavior and conversation were all completely different from those of soldiers from ordinary military families. Normally, if you cover up more, people can't recognize it, but now after a bloody battle at the top of the city, the blood in your heart has been completely aroused, so why bother to cover it up? Therefore, although in front of Zhang Zhong, who is in charge of everything, his speech is casual and natural, in the eyes of a person like Zhang Zhong, how could he not even see such an obvious difference?
Naturally, Zhang Zhongjiu, the young young man in front of him, is probably not an ordinary person. Even if you come from a humble background, there are always extraordinary people around you.
"Qiao Shanhu" Zhang Zhong muttered the name, searching in his mind for military generals surnamed Qiao who were somewhat famous in the army, but finally shook his head.
Lin Nan thought for a while, couldn't help but smile, relaxed his body and sat down opposite Zhang Zhong. "Don't worry, sir. Strictly speaking, a lower official is not actually a military surname"
"Oh?" As soon as he said this, Zhang Zhong couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Lin Nan with burning eyes. "So, are you a human being?" As soon as Lin Nan changed his words, Zhang Zhong heard the hidden meaning, and his originally pleasant expression calmed down at this time.
"Don't misunderstand me, sir. It's just my duty to be a lower-ranking official. I have to do it as a last resort." Lin Nan said, stretched out his hand and took out a badge from his waist, quickly waved it in front of Zhang Zhong's eyes and put it away.
Ye Zhong saw the things in Lin Nan's hand, and when he boarded it, he looked at Lin Nan's eyes without concealment. The Feiling Guards had such a good reputation that no matter whether they were high-ranking or poor, they all tried to avoid them. Therefore, even Zhang Zhong, who commanded the general affairs, could not help but feel a little awe-inspiring when he saw Lin Nan reveal his identity, and subconsciously thought that this imperial spy was Came running
But then, he felt a little relieved. Seeing the young official in front of him, there was no evil spirit at all, and the previous conversation didn't seem to have any hostility, and it didn't seem to be directed at him. Furthermore, even if you come here in a hurry, what can you do? Fei Lingwei On the occasion of a great war, I don¡¯t know what will happen tomorrow. I am serving a bowl to eat right now, but maybe I will be dead in the city in a while. What¡¯s the use of thinking so much?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong regained his composure, smiled and cupped his hands. It turned out that this person actually held an official position, but he was disrespectful. It's justsince it's your responsibility, how could youhow could you show up here? "
Lin Nan, out of respect for Zhang Zhong and other considerations, Zhang Zhong had so many thoughts after revealing his identity. Hearing Zhang Zhong's question, Lin Nan smiled slightly, turned to look at the rebel lineup shrouded in clouds below the city, and said lightly that the official's duty was to report to the country and bring peace to the people, although he was not here to join the army. , However At this time, Xianguan thought that the original things were no longer important. Now Xianguan's biggest responsibility is to stand here and hold on to the city. Today's Xiangyang City, one more person means one more Divide strength. The huge city of Xiangyang, half of the entire south of the Yangtze River In comparison, what kind of responsibilities and errands can be more important than protecting these? What do you think? "
Lin Nan¡¯s words fell into Zhang Zhong¡¯s ears, and he immediately looked at the young man in front of him with admiration. Although Lin Nan was wearing a torn short coat, messy hair, and looked extremely miserable, standing at the top of the city talking and talking, he seemed to be wearing rich clothes and going to the temple, and he seemed to be giving guidance to the country. Zhang Zhong nodded slowly, slowly chewing the meaning of Lin Nan's words in his heart. After a while, he slowly stood up and slightly raised his hands to Lin Nan. Maybe I underestimated the various characters in a certain room. If he were not here, Zhang Zhong would be willing to have a bottle of wine with you, haha, but that is not possible now." Zhang Zhong looked at the city, and said that the current situation is serious, and it is true as he said, even if they have different positions, they can't. In the face of the enemy, you must serve the country and the people and dedicate yourself to everything else. Everything else is a matter of course"
¡¡¡¡
The clouds are gathering and the cool breeze blows.
The big army of the four miles was over the city, standing on top of the city or sitting or lying, and the people, and suddenly had a hint of cold.
It has been an hour since the two sides broke away from the battle. The tense atmosphere that had previously filled the city gradually eased as time passed. However, with the change of weather and the sudden movements of the rebels who were still gathering under the city, the city began to collapse. The tension during the war suddenly returned to the city and below.
Snapped
A drop of rain suddenly fell and hit the wall bricks at the top of the city that were soaked with dark red blood, forming a small raindrop, which then slowly spread and expanded. Then, the second drop, the third dropthe raindrops became denser and denser. Finally, the sunny days that lasted for more than half a month ended again. In the sky above Xiangyang City, fine raindrops continued to fall, slowly falling to the upper and lower parts of the city, and onto the water of the winding moat, splashing fine ripples one by one.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Outside the east city gate, guns are raised like a forest, and the wind is blowing
Wow
Outside the North City Gate, several oars suddenly plunged into the water, drawing water marks.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
Three loud arrows streaked across the dark sky one after another, making sharp sounds in the wind.
The rebels on all sides suddenly roared in unison, like rolling thunder from the sky
The war curtain finally opened again
Outside the East City Gate, amidst a thundering roar, the Huaiwang rebels who had finished repairing their troops were running in the drizzle. In an instant, they were once again at the foot of Xiangyang City. A dense rain of arrows crossed the sky and poured down crazily on the city. When they came down, regardless of whether they were the enemy or ourselves, a large number of soldiers from both sides fell immediately. In an instant, three hanging ladders were once again set up on the top of the city. The rebels, who were even crazier than before, quickly climbed up the ladder and were about to arrive in front of the guards.
On the top of the city, catapults, ballistae, caltrop fireballs, fire oil tanks, bamboo water guns, mulberry trees, umbrella axes, wolf fangs all kinds of city defense equipment have been prepared. The rebels have just entered the shooting range. The few remaining huge stones flew through the air, bringing with them fragments of limbs. When the rebels arrived at the city and began to climb onto the city, the extremely lethal fireballs of caltrops also appeared once again, frequently exploding in the crowd. Flames and shooting spikes caused chaos again and again among the rebels attacking the city.
After the previous battle, the guards who originally belonged to the Xiangzhou Guards at the top of the city once again suffered heavy losses. Now there are only more than 800 people standing at the top of the city, all concentrated at the east and north gates where the battle was fierce. At the South City Gate and West City Gate, where the attack is relatively weak and there is no attack yet, most of the people fighting on the city walls have been replaced by recruited refugees and civilians.
The situation of the Xiangyang defenders is already in danger
Even if this attack can be defended, the price paid will be heavy. And after this round of attacks, how many Xiangzhou Guards guards will be left? Can Xiangyang City be held on until reinforcements arrive, relying solely on the refugees and common people, facing thousands of trained and murderous rebels?
No one, even at this moment, many people dare not think about this issue subconsciously. At this time, the more you think about it, the easier it is to do bad things, whether it is the generals who command the envoys or the guards of Xiangzhou Guards , or the refugees above and below the city, everyone has only one thing to do - defend the city
A gust of wind blew up, bringing up a sheet of rain and mist, covering the eyes of everyone on the city wall. Following the wind, dust, rain and mist, a figure suddenly appeared from the top of the city. The long knife brought out a dazzling brilliance, and cut off the arm of a guard in the blink of an eye. The blood mixed with the rain, and instantly dripped on the top of the city.
"kill"
With a roar, Zhang Zhong, the official guarding the east city gate, waved his long knife and rushed forward like a whirlwind. Although the refugees and common people behind him were a little timid, but not fighting at this time would be the result of death, so they quickly waved the sword in their hands. Weapons, followed by fighting desperately.
Swords and spears intersected, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people from both sides fell. What surprised Zhang Zhong was that despite the solid city defense and sharp defensive equipment, this time, the opponent's offensive was rare and fierce. The rebel soldiers in front of him were It was as if he had changed into a different person after a rest. He was extremely brave and fearless of death. He even gave up defense at all and just fought for his life. He was so crazy that even the guards at the head of the city headed by Zhang Zhong held on desperately, but they still remained. I was caught off guard and the rebels almost broke through the defense.
Boom
The fierce fire from the oil tank ignited a dozen rebels who were rushing at the front, and immediately formed a line of fire, blocking the rebel offensive behind them for a while. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly saw dozens of people jumping up from behind the hanging ladder. These people were so fast that they almost stepped on the bodies of many rebel soldiers as they climbed up and set those bodies on fire. Rebels blocked the roadAt this moment, these people hardly hesitated at all, and slashed them with their swords. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who had been fighting the fire to save themselves on the hanging ladder at the top of the city turned into victims of the sword.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
A spear suddenly came out from under the city
