Chapter 159 Reinforcements descend from heaven
"Happy!" With a laugh, Liu Yu and others returned to the city, like heroes returning in triumphant times, receiving respect from thousands of defenders with their eyes, especially Liu Yu, who was the temporary commander of Jingkou, led the way and was fearless of death, which won the heartfelt respect from the majority of middle and lower-level generals and soldiers!
Killing more than 200 enemies is like a drop in the bucket compared to Sun En's army of more than 70,000, but the encouragement of morale is incomparable. Liu Yu proved his determination to kill himself with practical actions, and also encouraged the soldiers of the army. Everyone's face showed generosity and tragic expressions, and a sense of fighting spirit soared into the sky!
Sun En was so angry that his face turned pale. Liu Yu rushed out of the city gate and slashed for a while, and his hair was backed away without damage. This was a real face-shot!
"Okay, Liu Jinu, let you live for a while!" He cursed, and Sun Enli shouted: "Hurry up, let the soldiers speed up their disembarkation. You must launch an attack before noon to break through Jingkou day and night!"
"As for order!" Several people followed him and ran back, and Sun En also turned his attention to the top of Jingkou City again.
Soon, the atmosphere under Jingkou City became increasingly tense. Liu Yu dared to go out of the city to rush, which indirectly proved that although the number of soldiers in the North Mansion was small, the combat power was strong. After about two hours, the dull war drum was beaten heavily. Due to the lack of heavy weapons for siege, Sun Enjun used guns and shield soldiers to cover the crossbowmen and shoot arrows on the city to suppress the defenders. Behind them were densely packed with infantrymen, carrying flying ladders and rushing forward. The general attack officially began!
Sun En was still bullied by the few people, and launched a continuous attack day and night with the tactics of the sea of people. With deafening shouts and killing, arrows and rocks on the top of the city were like rain, arrows on the city were like locusts, flying ladders were mounted on the top of the city, and they were smashed by rolling stones and wood. The bodies fell down like dumplings. Occasionally, Sun En's soldiers who climbed to the city were also stubbornly killed and blocked by the defenders. The number of casualties on both sides was increasing at an astonishing speed!
Before we knew it, a day and night passed, and time came to the evening of the tenth day of July. In addition to the light caused by the rockets, both sides turned off their lights. Sun Enjun attacked the city with black, and the Northern Mansion Army only identified and fought with the moonlight.
The strong will of the Northern Prefecture Army was beyond the expectations of Sun En and others. The original plan to break through Jingkou day and night had to be postponed backwards. The continuous shouts and killings from the city seemed to indicate that the siege would continue endlessly.
Xu Daofu couldn't help but sigh: "The Northern Palace Army is indeed a powerful force in the world. Thousands of people defended the city but still showed their defeat. It was beyond Daofu's expectation. Last year, it was because of the long-term attack that Liu Laozhi came to help in time. General, don't be careless. Liu Laozhi should get the news. I'm afraid he's already rushing back!"
This sentence hit Sun En's painful foot, and Shanyin became his lingering nightmare.
"Hmph!" Sun En snorted coldly: "There are many Dingkou in Shanyin. Those surnamed Wei can forcefully conquer good people to defend the city, but Jingkou is mainly composed of the elderly, weak, women and children. Where did Liu Jinu get the staff? Judging from the casualties, how long can he hold on? I don't believe that Jingkou will be the second Shanyin, but to prevent the night from getting long and dreaming, I have to hurry up!" As he said that, he turned around and shouted: "Guming the soldiers, let the soldiers work harder. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the city for meals!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong~~" Accompanied by the sound of war drums, the offensive suddenly increased, and the pressure on the city wall suddenly increased. Sun En could not grasp the specific situation in Jingkou, but Liu Yu and others were in great pain. Xu Daofu lamented the tenacity of the Northern Prefecture Army. Why didn't they secretly be shocked by Sun Enjun's fearlessness!
Liu Muzhi was humble and did not understand military tactics, but the overall coordination was reasonable and orderly. Liu Yu gave him the logistics to deal with. At this time, Liu Muzhi ran to the city with a worried look on his face. He found Liu Yu and bowed: "General, since yesterday, our army has been killed by nearly 3,000 people, and the distribution of troops is too tight. Muzhi is worried that it will be difficult to hold on until dawn! According to time, the letter of help can only be delivered to the general of the Assistant State in the morning in two or three days. I am afraid that the army will return to the aid for three or five days."
Liu Muzhi had another subtext, that is, Liu Laozhi could not count on it. All the generals of the Northern Palace led by Liu Yu knew it well, and a sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart. In two days and one night, the entire army was killed by 3,000 people. Sun Enjun should be around 10,000. However, the city should not be controlled in such a proportion. The reduction in manpower also means that the defensive gap will increase, which will bring more opportunities for breakthroughs to the enemy.
Last year, Wei Feng guarded Shanyin. At the beginning, he had more than 30,000 people and had the ability to set up a reserve team for the soldiers to replace them and rest. Liu Yu had left half of his men as the reserve team at first, but under Sun En's attack on all sides, he found that this move was useless. More than 8,000 people in the army had to go to the city, and the transportation of supplies was borne by the elderly, weak, women and children. The soldiers could not rest, so they could only take a breath in the gap, drink water and eat some food. The physical and mental consumption was almost the limit, and they were all determined by their will!
But mental power is not a sword, gun, arrow, after all, it needs to rely on the body, human power cannot be endless, and human potential cannot be stimulated by everyone. Liu Yu obviously realized that the soldiers' arms of archery were trembling, and their legs were trembling, pouring boiling oil, throwing wood and rolling stones, they needed to crawl onto battlements, which brought about exponential increases in casualties.
"Ah!" A scream sounded beside him. Liu Yu turned his head and saw that a soldier was shot in the face by a wandering arrow and died on the spot!
"Brother Deyu, simply go out of the city and rush to death for a while. Even if you are cut to death by random knives, it will be better than being beaten to death!" Zhuge Changmin could no longer hold back and shouted loudly.
Liu Yu was secretly hesitant. He rushed to the scene early yesterday morning, taking advantage of Sun En's foothold that he had not yet stabilized, and all the soldiers on the ground were alive. Now, Sun En's position has been settled, but his soldiers were exhausted in the fierce battle. The host and guest were changing, and leaving the city was just a quick death.
"Yes, Brother Deyu, I feel really uncomfortable watching the soldiers fall down one by one!" Seeing Liu Yu standing there alone, Liu Yi also followed suit.
‘Well! Even if you die, Sun En will be covered in blood!’ The heart quickly flashed through Zang Aiqin. Liu Jiao and Liu Xingnan's faces said sorry. After Liu Yuheng made a heart and shouted: “Who would like to go out of the city with Liu again?”
"We are all willing to follow the general! We swear to die with the bandits!" The defenders agreed with a loud promise, and their morale miraculously increased again!
"Okay!" Liu Yu's face flashed with a ruthlessness. He was about to call everyone down the city, but his heart moved, and a thunderous roar came from the southeast.
"General, what's that sound?" Liu Muzhi couldn't help but say.
Everyone frowned slightly, and Meng Chang suddenly shouted: "It's the sound of horse hooves, yes! It's the sound of horse hooves!"
"Is it because the general of the auxiliary country has returned?" Liu Yi blurted out. This was also the first idea that everyone had come up with. Although Liu Muzhi speculated that Liu Laozhi would not be able to return in time, there was something wrong with everything. It was possible that Liu Laozhi was on his way back before Sun En arrived? In the eyes of the generals of the Northern Palace, who else could it be besides Liu Laozhi?
In an instant, every face showed ecstasy expression, and there was also an uncontrollable relief. Even the soldiers' legs became weak and almost collapsed on the ground!
Liu Yu hurriedly called out: "Everyone gritted his teeth and persevered! Notify all the sects that the general of the auxiliary country is back, so brothers must resist and don't let the bandits break the city!"
"Avoid the order!" More than ten people responded heavily and ran towards both sides. At this moment, they ran faster than rabbits, and their human potential was fully stimulated!
Liu Yu and other soldiers of the Northern Prefecture Army were blocked by the city walls and could only hear the sound of horse hooves but no shadows. However, Sun En and others stood in the open space. In addition to the gradually clear sound of horse hooves, they could also see three pointed conical black shadows rushing towards them like a whirlwind!
Lu Xun's face changed drastically and he cried out, "How is it possible? How could Liu Laozhi be so fast? He should be still in Xia Pi!"
Xu Daofu, who had always been calm, was also in a huge panic. He fought against the main force of the Northern Prefecture Army in the field, but was still under a surprise attack. This was simply a birthday boy who hanged himself, and he thought he had lived too long!
Xu Daofu quickly turned his head and said, "General, it is no longer feasible to attack the city. Please withdraw your troops quickly. How many people can be taken away? The cavalry will inevitably follow the infantry. If they are divided and surrounded, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out!"
However, Sun En strangely had two thoughts of repeating. The first reenactment was the scene of attacking Shanyin last year. It was defeated by Liu Laozhi's army after a long period of time. The second reenactment was a sneak attack on Xie Yan while the wind and rain a month ago. This was good. When he was in full swing, he was also attacked. He felt that the retribution was coming too quickly.
Sun En was extremely unwilling. Looking around, the three cavalry teams were rushing from the side. In an instant, they rushed into several blocks of their loose siege queues. Chaos was quickly spreading in all directions. The soldiers threw ladders and threw ladders, and the weapons were thrown away, and they ran towards the river beach. There was no need to sing gold at all. The people had automatically retreated.
Obviously, in everyone's eyes, this is Liu Laozhi leading the main force of the Northern Palace back to the rescue!
"Sanguan Emperor, why don't you open your eyes?" Sun En suddenly roared to the sky. He had a premonition that he would lose a big loss this time. He was defeated by Liu Laozhi last year and could throw away the wealth woman to cover the main force's evacuation, but what else could he throw? And this is just a northern city. The manpower attacking the other three walls must retreat to the river beach before leaving by boat. Do they have this opportunity?
Sun End suddenly felt dark in front of him and his body was shaking!
Xu Daofu quickly helped Sun En and shouted shrillly: "Go quickly, go quickly, go back to the island!" As he said that, he led a group of personal troops to run towards the ship behind him.
The ships raised their anchors one after another, regardless of whether the people were full. As soon as the anchors were up, they rushed towards the river. Soldier Sun En, who was a little out of reach, swam along with the boat, stretched out his arms and shouted loudly, and ran smartly to grab the ship that he had not yet left. There was a mess on the beach!
The cavalry team also divided into several stocks accordingly, accompanied by the sound of "Surrender and not kill!" Some went to the river beach to capture ships, while others chopped and captured the thieves everywhere. They soared into the sky with sporadic heads, and rows of figures knelt down!
The news of Liu Laozhi's timely return to the rescue spread to the city as quickly as possible, and Jingkou was in full swing!
Chapter completed!
