Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 68: Battle with Xiangyang (16)
Kara la
The heart-stopping thunder also sounded in the sky above Xiangyang City. A branch-shaped flash suddenly flashed across the dark sky, as if to tear the sky apart. The accumulated wind became stronger and stronger, and the dense raindrops instantly turned into The size of soybean grains, crackling down with the wind, suddenly, the sky and the earth were filled with mist and rain.
However, the battle on the city is still going on
At the north city gate, the rebels who had just broken through the city's defense line were suddenly hit by heavy rain and were dizzy. When they looked up, they were covered with rainwater. It was impossible to see any of the rebels who had just rushed to the city and carved a foothold on the city wall. The rebels suddenly looked like blind men with their eyes open. On the other side, the guards at the top of the city seemed to have divine help. Various attacks followed the wind and rain and poured wildly towards the rebels who were suddenly in an environmental disadvantage. Not long after, not only did the city All the leading rebels were driven down the city, and the few remaining ships on the moat were also attacked. (com_%%)
Compared with the fighting situation at the North City Gate, the East City Gate seemed very chaotic.
Due to the elite participation of Dongyang Guards in the battle, the east gate city head has been attacked by the rebels. Due to the situation, the guards at the city head were separated to the left and right, one to the south and the other to the north. According to the corridors and corridors on the city wall, The violent oil tank, moso bamboo water gun, and a small amount of caltrop fireballs and wall trucks in hand are used to block the rebels' further advance. At the beginning, the results were indeed remarkable. Not only did they kill a large number of rebels, but they also almost suppressed the rebels' breach at the top of the city again.
However, just when Zhang Zhong and his guards in the south were about to seize a breach in the hanging ladder, heavy rain and a slanting wind suddenly poured into the city from south to north. As a result, the guards in the south were The soldiers were naturally at home, but the defensive area where Lin Nan was in the north was immediately defeated.
The flames of the fierce oil tank truck were blown back by the strong wind. Not only did they not kill the rebels, but they were swept back by the flames and injured several civilians in the formation. The situation with the bamboo water cannons was also the same. The situation suddenly reversed. Li Xian was fighting hard with Li Xian. Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Lin Nan quickly retreated. Staying on the city wall at this moment was no different than risking death. Everyone in the northern section of the guard understood this. Everyone quickly retreated until they reached the troop transports connected to the city wall. On the road, we finally got a firm footing. During this period, there were many people who had no time to retreat or were a little too slow. Without exception, they were killed by the rebels' swords and spears. Only one of the two heavy-fire oil tank trucks was barely towed, and the other was killed by the rebels on the spot. It was chopped to pieces. Although the moso bamboo water gun fell into the enemy's formation, the front section was soon cut off, so there was no delay in using it for the time being.
Having retreated from the city wall to the bottom of the city, although the next battle was to stand on the slope and look up, at least the wind and rain had changed direction, from the front to the side, and the situation could still be saved.
Under the sloping steps of the military road, the guards and civilians leaned slightly to resist the rain with their shoulders and backs. At the same time, they pointed their spears upwards. Although most people were panic-stricken in their hearts, they still tried their best. Strength to resist the invasion of the rebels. The spear array supported by the terrain is much more difficult for the rebels on the slope than on the city wall. And although there is only one heavy-fire oil tank truck now, the guard moved the oil tank to the south side of the steps. The tongues of flames sprayed by the wind were enough to cover the lower entrance of the entire military road, and with the help of cold arrows and caltrop fireballs , although a large number of rebels rushed to the city wall, they were strongly blocked here.
On the city wall, Zhang Zhong, the general commander, led his men to resist the rebels' offensive, and at the same time sent people to mobilize the guards of several other city gates. The temporary victory of the North City Gate also made Song Cheng, the commander of the capital, foresee the disadvantages of the East City Gate and the South City Gate. Except for the soldiers who had to stay behind, almost all the rest of the troops were quickly transferred to several other places by Song Cheng. The war suddenly became chaotic at this moment.
Big raindrops hit the left side of Li Xian's helmet, splashing a cloud of rain and mist. In the violent storm, Li Xian's figure stood upright like a javelin. Standing among the rebels, he stood out like a chicken, as if he was a shotgun passing through. The iron-blooded battle flag remains standing despite the wind and rain, leading all the rebels
In the wind and rain, Li Xian in the crowd casually glanced at the crowd in front of him, and finally fell on Lin Nan's face. Below the military road, among the spear formations like a forest, Lin Nan's body was slightly arched, and the spear in his hand was ready to go. Although he had been fighting for a day and a night, his whole body was injured, and the weather was so bad, but at this time, the force of the spear was strong. The strong fighting spirit emanating from his body suddenly reached its peak. This was not only a strong feeling for Li Xian, who had experienced bloodshed in battles for a long time, but also for the guards and people standing around Lin Nan at this moment. They all could feel the layers of rain and mist rising among the crowds below the military road, making the guards standing still and ready to go below look like statues of iron and stone statues, exuding an inexplicable aura. strength.
Li Xian suddenly burst out with a loud shout. You raise your eyes and see that even God is helping us lose the city defense. Do you still have it? "
"We have tens of thousands of passionate heads"
Lin Nan¡¯s voice immediately sounded, and the wind, rain and thunder could not cover the streets and alleys. They are all unjust divisions that we must fight for, and this city will be destroyed.¡±
Li Xian¡¯s eyebrows were raised, his words were cold and he was overestimating his abilities. I want to see who died in this city. "Say that, Li Xian waved his hand and killed me."
"At the same time, Lin Nan shook his spear and stood up. The city is alive and the people are alive, but the city is dead and the people are dead."
"When the city is there, people are there, but when the city is gone, people are going to die."
Scattered echoes sounded from behind. Gradually, the number of echoes increased, and soon they gathered into an overwhelming roar that seemed to tear the world apart completely.
People roared and the wind hissed, and another bloody battle began.
¡¡¡¡
A war spear passed through the wind and rain, and the momentum of the spear seemed to pierce a vacuum in the wind and rain. Before the spear arrived, it seemed as if blood had already burst out of Dongyang Li Xian. With the wind and rain all over him, he rushed in first like a tiger. Guarding the formation
Peng's fierce oil tank truck, which had already been ready to go, instantly spurted out a stream of flames and expanded, almost burying Li Xian's figure in it. Suddenly, three or four armored vehicles rushed out of the rebel formation. The soldier, ignoring the stabbing spear tip and the approaching flames, rushed towards the oil tanker truck like a desperate man. Before the guard guard could react, he brazenly blocked the nozzle hole of the fierce fire oil tanker with his body.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xian and the dozens of iron guards following closely behind him rushed down like tigers descending the mountain.
The bamboo water gun hidden in the crowd once again sprayed water. However, the situation was almost exactly the same as before. Before the water spray hit Li Xian, someone had already hit him beside him, and four or five figures covered Li Xian's body. It was firmly covered, even if one of them had been wrapped in layers of rising white air and his whole body was constantly trembling, he still stood strong and unyielding.
The situation is still at a stalemate. Although Li Xian is brave and brave, he still has difficulty breaking through the defensive line in front of him in the face of the ** of the bamboo water cannon and the sharp spears. On the other side of the city wall, Zhang Zhong had already snatched back a hanging ladder and demolished it. Behind him, the reinforcements from Commander Song Cheng had also caught up. With the wind and rain, it was just a matter of time to snatch back the last hanging ladder. Problem. Once the gap in the hanging ladder was recaptured, the nearly a thousand rebels who had surged up earlier became a lone army cut off from their escape route. Even if they were temporarily more numerous than the guards, they would be able to rely on equipment and the increasing number of civilians and soldiers. The refugees can still eat up all Li Xian and these rebels.
However, it seems that bad things always come when you least expect them. The guards who were defending below the soldiers suddenly realized that the rebels' offensive suddenly became extremely fierce. Every rebel seemed to have turned into a heavenly soldier. The water from the bamboo water gun sprayed onto the ground. They seemed to be completely unaware. Except for a few rebels who were blinded by the water spray in front of them, the rest of them were still as lively as a tiger, slashing and killing with their swords.
It wasn¡¯t until the person in charge of adjusting the nozzle of the water gun yelled that everyone realized something was wrong - the water in the water gun had lost its temperature. The cold wind and rain were falling crazily. The flames underneath the large pots that were originally lined up in the streets for boiling water were quickly extinguished by the wind and rain. At the beginning, the water temperature was okay, but as the rain gradually increased, With the increase of rain and the increase of rain, there are fewer and fewer fires that are still burning, and now they finally show their decline - there is no boiling water anymore.
Having lost the advantage of the fierce fire oil tank and water gun, there are not many Tribulus fireballs left. Finally, the last moment has arrived unstoppably. Without any advantage to rely on, both sides can only rely on long knives and war spears, relying on their respective bodies, and relying on close cooperation to see who can last longer and who can have the last laugh in the wind and rain. Who is the real owner of this city?
The war finally entered the stage of street fighting when Li Xian led the Dongyang Guard as the vanguard and the remaining Huai Prince's soldiers as backup, and broke through the connection between the city wall and the streets with overwhelming force.
Fighting to the death again and again
Time and time again, defeats mixed with blood and tears
Time and time again, without hesitation, we regrouped to resist.
The rain was pouring down and the wind was howling. Although the rain rushed out small streams on the ground, it still couldn't wash away the dazzling blood. Countless blood was sprinkled in almost every lane and every street corner, and dozens of people were left behind. Only with corpses can the rebels led by Li Xian succeed in capturing
In the melee, countless refugees and people fled in panic. In the wind and rain, more and more people were fleeing, and fewer and fewer people stood behind to resist. Lin Nan looked up to the sky and wiped a handful of rainwater, feeling an uncontrollable sadness in his heart. The ground surged up.
Could it be that XiangyangIs the fall of the city inevitable? Did the aloof prince who had the hatred of killing his father really own half of the country? Is the court doing it? Where are the reinforcements that should have arrived long ago? Could it be that the bloody battle in Xiangyang has been going on for nearly two days, but no one has even looked at this place?
