Volume 4: Storm and Rain in Jiangnan Chapter 57: Fighting in Xiangyang (Five)

The refugees in the city were almost immediately turbulent. In the north gate, a street was more than ten feet away, and were filled with panicked refugees. Everyone poked out a messy head with their dark bodies. Their faces were either pale or blood-red, but their goals were surprisingly consistent: if you leave the city, Xiangyang City is about to break out, and stay here is not a dead end? You can't wait and escape from this place of right and wrong. If you can't escape, then rush out anyway, the left will die, and the right will die. Once you go to his mother, you may be able to escape a way out.

After being hungry for more than half a month or even more than a month, the victims who were dizzy and whose eyes were red were as if they had eaten a leopard's gall in this moment, in groups of three or two, eight people, and fifty people... After walking out of all streets and alleys, the crowds quickly gathered and rushed towards the north gate and the west gate. Because they were outside the East City Gate, there was the Huai Wang Army. Running on the ground, they would definitely not be able to escape the army. The south gate, the west gate and the north gate were wide water surface. They rushed to the city gate and jumped into the water. As long as they did this step, the rest... whether they could survive was all in one eye.

Faced with more and more disaster-ridden crowds and more and more out of control, the city defense soldiers who received the order and were prepared for it immediately showed their swords and guns, and set up spear formations. The coldness of the blade and the sharp blades of Lin Shuoshou made the crowd at the front subconsciously retreat. They really wanted to escape from the city that was about to fall in Xiangyang City. They even spared no effort to sacrifice their lives. However, in the final analysis, they could sacrifice their lives to survive in their hearts, but they still didn't want to face the cold gun and the cold blades so directly.

Looking at the faces in front of them that had changed from numbness to excitement and even crazy, all the guards fell silent for a moment. The fierce battle of a night made them quickly turn from panicked recruits and timid young people who were afraid of fighting to a soldier who had experienced life and death, who was used to seeing blood and heads.

After swinging a hundred times, the 100th time will become very common.

These bloody soldiers who had just taken off the city wall early in the morning and had not had time to eat a bite of hot rice and drink a sip of hot water. Some were still murderous intent on the battlefield, some were covered with blood from the rebels on their faces, and even many people had more or less scattered meat mixed with black cloth strips on their spears.

They were no longer afraid of wielding swords, nor were they afraid of killing people, but most of them would rather turn around and face the rebels outside the city, facing the rebels who were not willing to dance their spears, wave their long swords, and show their killing in front of a group of people who were about to starve to death and almost despair.

However, reality is right in front of you, these people, they have to kill them

Once they were allowed to rush to the inner city gate, the weak defense of the guards at the gate could not compete with the impact of the refugees who suddenly appeared behind them. Facing the rebels outside the city, they could rely on city defense, catapults, mulwoods, and powerful crossbows. But facing the refugees rushing into the city, they rely on... only the long sword in their hands, the spear hanging on their heads is not only the cold orders of iron as iron as above, but also their helpless and pitiful fate: as long as these people dare to rush, they must kill them without any scruples or the guards who fought bloodyly.

Reality is so cruel.

Facing the cold spear tip and the guard guard with murderous aura, the crowd in front finally slowly retreated. However, the more and more victims gathered behind still tried their best to squeeze forward. Finally, a victim in the front was gently pushed by the crowd behind, and his body immediately hit a shiny tip in the front of the guard guard formation...

kill

After a loud shout mixed with blood and tears, the sword spears rose up, and the blood flowed into a river. The blood splattered across several city gates. After the initial horror and panic, the victims seemed to suddenly become a little fearless of life and death. They went on one after another and pounced on the city gate. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, they all became iron men who were not afraid of swords and guns. It seemed that at this time, they had already been blinded by reality in their hearts, and they had completely forgotten to block the existence of the guns and sword formations in front of the inner city gate...

The broken limbs and the body are covered with blood

A great kill

Seeing that the defensive formation of the guards at the inner city gate was hit by a thin layer, as long as these victims were crazy, even if they were a little more, the gate would be washed away from the inside. Suddenly, the guards' eyes suddenly became wide open - the victims finally retreated.

In front of the scarlet and pungent river of blood, in front of the cold and ruthless swords and guns, in front of the nearest death, in the purgatory battlefield, they finally retreated and retreated, but the price paid was the death of nearly a thousand people.

At this time, some of them began to understand that they could not hide in the city. After the rebels attacked the city, they would probably die. But if they were rushing towards the city gate like this now, they would not have to wait for the rebels to break through the city, and they would die under the swords and guns of the court, and they would only die faster and miserably

After the initial brief madness, in the face of the cruel and bloody reality, the victims finally chose to retreat. However, they did not. After passing the bleeding at the city gate, they wanted to retreat, but there was no way to retreat...

…………

After an hour of bleeding from the city gate, countless refugees and people walked up to the city.

No one of the rich gentry and wealthy families who had refused to pay for food and relief had dared to challenge the authority of the court. Even if they were really unwilling to do so, they had to send people to feed the grain. Under the writing and supervision of the ranks of the ranks, they were delivered to the rich gentry and wealthy families. As for those people who had no money and no food, there was only one way out at this time: guarding the city.

The people of this city have always had a good reputation, including the servants and tenants of the gentry and wealthy families, were organized to form a queue, patrolling the streets and alleys of the city to maintain order. All refugees had no way out. Except for some old, weak, women and children, the others were driven to the top of the city, with only one purpose: to guard the city

Looking at the dense rebels under the city and the mountains of flesh and blood piled up under the corners of the wall, everyone's legs couldn't help but soften. But behind them, the cold clusters of arrows, bloody blades and flesh-hung guns forced them to stand on the top of the city. They are no longer people or refugees. Standing on the walls, they are soldiers of the Dajian Dynasty

It doesn't matter if you can't use swords and guns. I didn't plan to give you swords and guns.

Most of the guards on the city defense retreated, and the strong people and refugees added to the catapults, crossbows, wooden stents, umbrellas and axes, and beside the wolf teeth... The strong-minded people, who did not lose their will and were also strong, quickly filled the open space next to these equipment, and more people were sent to transport sand, stones, clean up the battlefield, and deal with the wounded. The elderly, weak, women and children helped the officers and soldiers of the yamen to collect food and grass from door to door...

In just one hour, the entire Xiangyang City was mobilized to stand on the arrow tower on the city wall. Luo Tian looked at the streets and alleys in the city. The crowd suddenly became extremely lively. Although it seemed a little noisy, it was also in a hidden order. He couldn't help but praise Zheng Ci, the governor of Hannan, in his heart. When the situation was critical, there was such a cadre in the rear. It was a great blessing. Now all he should have done is done. He can only hope that the rebels' attacks will not come again so soon. The reinforcements of the court... hope will appear in front of him in the next moment.

Where will the reinforcements of Huchuan Guards and Nanling Guards be at this time? There should be the imperial troops in the Jiangnan Navy Camp, where will they be at this time?

…………

While the defenders at the city of Xiangyang were repairing war equipment, replenishing troops, cleaning up the city and even purging the riots, the Huai King Army under the city and the rebels on the moat on the three sides were also doing a brief revision.

Outside the East City Gate, the broken spear and round shield were replaced with new ones. The flying hook with broken rope head was reconnected. A piece of log on both sides of the broken hanging ladder was reinforced and re-connected. The dead general was pushed by the people below...

On the water surface outside the other three gates, warships lined up left and right, and the damaged ships slowly retreated. The wounded soldiers were transported to the rear, and tall and majestic tower ships drove up from the middle. The broken sails were quickly repaired with tarpaulins, and the broken masts were decisively connected. The really broken warships were demolished on the spot, and the wood they obtained was quickly replenished on other warships...

The broken teams were quickly filled with replenishment, warships lined up in the wind on the river, siege cars, crashed cars, hidden soldiers covered with thick reborn cowhides, and catapults with a range of more than ten feet away... The strong bow and strong man, the previous blood mist of the armored soldiers had not yet dissipated, and the new wolf smoke was about to be ignited again

The war is imminent, it is about to break out

As if in response to the coming bloody battle, the already unclear sunshine in the sky suddenly disappeared. In the gray sky, layers of gray clouds began to gather slowly. The clear sky, which had been clear for many days, became full of haze again at this moment. The originally gentle wind began to become cold...

Inside and outside the city, there was no time when it suddenly became silent. In everyone's heart, a war drum began to ring nervously, as if with the eternal echo, it looked desolate and full of power.

Whoosh

A sound arrow suddenly shot up to the top of the city shrillly.

Boom

The shouts of killing sounds all over the sky suddenly sounded

Luo Tian's closed eyes suddenly opened a rare cold light and came out

Here comes
