Chapter 450: The tragic Yuezhou offensive and defensive battle
The attacks for two consecutive days and nights were not only the soldiers guarding the city, but also Luo Jixing was about to collapse. Most of the catapults and crossbows in the city were damaged, but on the other hand, the opponent's offensive was still the same. No one could stand being beaten so passively.
Luo Jixing knew that Ningde County could not be defended anymore. When the Zhongyong Army launched a full-scale siege, it was when he was defeated.
"The catapult increases the elevation angle, the crossbowman advances, and the crossbow shoots freely!" Sun Yu watched the water in the river slowly sink, knowing that the upstream has built a dam to intercept the water, and he has only one day.
"Quick! Hurry up! Go up to defend the city!" Luo Jixing heard the personal soldiers coming to report that the crossbowmen of the loyal and brave army had been arranged by the moat, and immediately knew that the other party was going to launch a general attack.
Most of the soldiers in this city cannot be taken away. If possible, Luo Jixing hopes that they will all die here and be loyal to the country.
With a resistant mentality, the soldiers walked very slowly, and no one wanted to go up to face the enemy's huge rocks and powerful crossbows.
When Luo Jixing stepped onto the city, the siege car that made him grit his teeth had already risen high, but it was still a little higher than the city, and his heart was cold.
How long can this dilapidated city be held at present, there is no trace of confidence.
Just as the war in Ningde County was in full swing, Murong Yanzhao also decided to launch a general attack under Nanchu and Yuezhou. These days, he was under too much pressure and spoke easily, but the white hair on his temples was increasing day by day, telling people the sadness of the veteran.
"General, is it really OK?" Yu Wen Su was the same, and he was too lazy to take care of his hair and hair. Yesterday, he had climbed to the top of the city several times, but he was killed and retreated. He was a little worse after all.
"It must be possible, there are enough people who die." Murong Yanzhao's pressure not only came from the official family in Kaifeng, but also the casualties of soldiers on the battlefield. The reports were just some cold numbers, but behind them were fresh lives. They followed Murong Yanzhao through mountains and rivers, but they could never return to their hometown.
The tenacity of the Nanchu soldiers exceeded his expectations. Even if they had the advantage of equipment, they still suffered huge casualties.
"Send the order and prepare to attack!" Murong Yanzhao decided that it was time to use this ace to conquer the world with one battle.
"Take care!" In the jump camp, Li Jilong and Wang Ba said to each other and took care of each other, and then they separated.
Now Li Jilong is also one of the five major lieutenants of the Dance Camp, so he cannot continue to follow Wang Ba. In this battle, he has to rely on himself.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The sound of war drums became more and more rapid, hitting the hearts of every soldier in the dove camp. If they could stand firm on the top of the city and survive, there would be a lot of money. If they could not stand, they would have to die and there would be no way out.
"Go!" Li Jilong saw Wang Ba not far away, and led his men to run with a gilded sword, took a deep breath, and then shouted.
There were only a few personal soldiers following him, and the others, led by their captains, ran towards the ladder ahead. The jumping camp was different from others, and it focused on small teams fighting and exerting their personal courage.
Especially in this siege battle, where the crowds are crowded, it is the key target of local crossbows.
Li Jilong's spear was tied to his back and held a long sword in his mouth. The moment he climbed onto the city wall, the spear could not be used at all.
The falling rocks on the top of the city continued to fall, Li Jilong looked up, staring at the sky, ready to dodge at any time.
As expected, a regular rock fell, probably a threshold stone, fell from the sky. Li Jilong turned over on the cloud ladder and hid behind the cloud ladder. He hung under the cloud ladder and escaped a disaster.
"Ah!" A scream came from below. Li Jilong did not look down at all, but turned over and continued to climb. If he just climbed on the back like this, Li Jilong asked himself, but if he climbed up, he would probably have no strength and would not have the end.
With a crisp sound of "Ding!", Li Jilong was startled. He must have been shot.
Helmet, shake your head, and you are not injured, and continue to climb up.
With less than three feet left, Li Jilong used his hands and feet together, and climbed up with one breath.
In front of Li Jilong, several people had already climbed to the top of the city, but facing the encirclement and killing of the Nanchu soldiers who were more than ten times their own, they were defeated for only a moment.
Li Jilong took the long sword in the middle of the exit, jumped from the wall, and slashed forward, directly cutting through the armor on the enemy's neck, and then pulled it again and took his life.
Then he turned around and threw the long sword forward. At the same time, he untied the spear on his back. The spear was in his hand, and Li Jilong was full of energy.
Li Jilong, who has a gun that is like a dragon, opens and closes, and has great arm strength, is no longer blindly pursuing speed and skills, and has a bit of returning to nature.
The several soldiers left on the city were also very energetic, and for a moment, they barely blocked the opponent's attack. Li Jilong kept wandering, waving his spear, firmly protecting the ladder behind him. Because he knew that only by protecting the ladder would a steady stream of soldiers come up to reinforce behind him.
There were more and more soldiers from the Song Dynasty Jumping Camp on the top of the city, and Li Jilong was also constantly expanding his living space. The moment the spear was stabbed out, the enemy directly raised his sword to block it, then put away the gun, swept it upwards, and directly pulled the opponent's long sword away.
This person is also a ruthless person. He directly bullied Li Jilong's waist and bullied him a long spear, which was not good at fighting in close combat.
The moment Li Jilong was hugged, he abandoned the gun and smashed the enemy's head with his fist. The man hugged Li Jilong's waist tightly, but he didn't let go, because he knew that once he let go, he would definitely die.
The companions beside him seized the opportunity and stabbed him with a spear. Li Jilong went over half of his body and was stabbed into his left shoulder by the other party, which was so painful that he felt dizzy.
In the past, he was the one who stabbed others, but today he tasted the taste of being stabbed for the first time.
Just now, Li Jilong made two steps forward because of his rash progress. Everything was in the midst of lightning. His personal soldiers wanted to rescue him, but it was difficult for them to escape calmly.
The other party fired a gun, blood spilled, and the pain became even worse.
"Ah!" Li Jilong yelled, then hugged the man's head in his waist, leaned over, bit the other person's neck, and then sucked in big mouthfuls.
The enemy who was originally holding Li Jilong tightly, I didn't know if it was scared or because my blood vessels were bitten, my hands that were tightly held loosen.
Li Jilong, who was regaining his freedom, bent down and picked up the spear on the ground, avoided the tip of the spear stabbed in front, and then shot back. Without looking at the result, he directly pulled the gun back, with a clear feel and stabbed.
When Li Jilong retreated back to the team, the enemy on the opposite side began to wander. They could see that the corners of Li Jilong's mouth were covered with blood stains and the facial muscles that were constantly biting, telling everyone that there was human flesh.
Everyone looked down and found that a large piece of the man's neck was bitten just now, and now it was just a big blood hole.
They are instinctively afraid of characters who dare to eat human flesh and drink human blood.
Not only the soldiers of the Southern Chu, but also the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were worried. They heard that once a person eats human flesh, he cannot be called a human, but a wild animal.
Li Jilong's throat kept swallowing. For the rise of his family, he had nothing to do and he dared not do.
"Kill!" Li Jilong raised his spear, shouted loudly, and continued to slaughter.
The soldiers of Nan Chu who were shocked by him couldn't help but retreat, giving Li Jilong a greater space and gradually gaining a firm foothold.
I don’t know how many guns were stabbed or how many people were killed, until my shoulders could no longer stab the spear forward. Li Jilong took a few steps back, shrank into the corner under the wall, and gasped.
A wave of disgusting feeling came, making it difficult for him to breathe. He was covered in blood, like a madman on the battlefield, but he was still a child who was less than sixteen after all.
I don’t know how many wounds I have on my body, exhausted, soreness everywhere, and I’m almost numb.
"Fatty!" Suddenly, a loud shout came. Li Jilong heard that it was Wang Ba's voice, and stood up with difficulty and looked at the distance.
Not far from Wang Ba, Niu Feng, wearing armor, was shot directly by a crossbow, holding the tail of the crossbow arrow in both hands, with disbelief on his face.
If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be penetrated directly, but such a large wound would inevitably be damaged and there would be no help.
Although Li Jilong joined the jumping camp for a short time, he had a good relationship with Niu Feng. Now he has stood firm and is advancing step by step, walking towards Niu Feng with a long spear on the ground.
Wang Ba’s eyes were filled with sadness. Although he was mentally prepared, someone would always leave. Unexpectedly, it would be Niu Feng.
"Fatty, why are you so careless?" Wang Ba didn't understand. Niu Feng had never even been seriously injured in these years, so why was he actually shot by a crossbow today?
"When people have ambitions, they want to fight. Old, old Wangba, you, no, too." Every word Niu Feng said, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Wang Ba was silent. When Li Jilong climbed up, he would naturally have help, but they had to show their real military achievements.
In the past, when faced with the temptation of rewarding money, they could still calm their minds, take every step, and not be greedy for merit and advance. But now they are facing the title of a general, how many times can they fight in life?
"Old Niu, what other wishes do you have yet to come true?" Li Jilong squatted down and looked at Niu Feng who was no longer able to do it. It was hard to save the gods. As a friend, he had to choose to let him leave with confidence.
"The money I saved, Lao, Wang Ba, know where to hide it, help me and send it back, and reminded the two elders not to be ruined by that one, who is useless,... Ho~ Ho~" Before he finished speaking, Niu Feng suddenly couldn't breathe, tilted his head, and left the world.
Wang Ba leaned over and closed his eyes with his hands, and the warriors were bound to die in front of the formation.
"Let's go!" Niu Feng died, they had to continue, the war was not over yet.
"Okay!" Li Jilong knew that if he wanted to not fight for his life in front of the formation, he had to climb up. The higher the position, the less danger.
This road is difficult to walk, and there is no choice.
The night was shrouded in the dark, and the Song Dynasty had occupied the entire city. The entire Jumping Camp paid a huge price. The evil tiger was not injured and died on the spot. Dongfang Zi was carried to the wounded camp behind. Whether it could survive depends on the fate. The five tigers in the Jumping Camp were only alive.
The soldiers were also extremely injured and suffered heavy casualties. The rest must be added together. They were less than two battalions and were all organized under the command of Wang Ba and Li Jilong.
Wang Ba and Li Jilong retreated from the city. As the sharpest sword among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, their mission has ended.
Wash it a little by the river, but the blood stains on the clothes would not be washed away for a while. Li Jilong was immune to the smell of blood. Compared to the previous city, the air here was full of sweetness.
Wang Ba held a stick with lamb legs strung on it, which was a reward for the dance camp. As the lieutenant, they divided a lamb leg, which was not excessive.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking?" Looking at the trance of Li Jilong, Wang Ba turned over the lamb leg and continued to bake. At the same time, he took out a small paper bag from his arms, which contained fine salt and sprinkled some on it.
"If it weren't for my appearance, Lao Niu might not have died." Li Jilong was worried about Lao Niu's death since he left the battle formation.
"This is all fate. He wants to go to the game himself, and no one forces him." Wang Ba felt uncomfortable. He had the best relationship with Lao Niu, and he lost it, and his heart was empty.
