Chapter 987 Brutal Battle
Chapter 987 The tragic battle
Another two days of bloody battle.
Under such a desperate attack, the forces of the two sides were extremely different. Even if the Qin army would rather die than retreat, they would not be able to withstand it.
The bricks and stones everywhere in the city wall were stained red by the blood of the soldiers on both sides.
Under the wall, corpses piled up and blood flowed into a river.
At this time of the battle, there were less than a thousand defenders.
But the Qin army soldiers still insisted on dying and not greedy for life.
Those who survived the evil war until now were completely crawling out of the dead!
At the city gate, the siege car was hanging thick and sharp wooden stakes, and with the joint efforts of the Ling Army soldiers, it violently hit the city gate.
"Hey! Hey--"
With every blow, the tall city gate would tremble violently and the dust would shake off.
On the cloud ladder, the Ling Army infantry was still climbing up one after another.
Looking at the entire Chengguan defense line, there are many places in danger and are in a row.
Due to the straight rise of the fallen soldiers and insufficient manpower, it was difficult to make up for the gap. Several spiritual troops have already rushed up to the top of the city along the ladder. When they came, the one who greeted them was naturally the long halberd with stings, which instantly stabbed them into a hornet's nest.
Some spiritual army was still holding up the battle knife, but a long halberd was already piercing through the belly.
He stared at his eyes wide, screamed shrillly, and wanted to swing the knife, but the Qin army was even more fierce than him. He grabbed the long halberd, thrust violently, and stabbed hard again!
This is just a corner of the battlefield.
As a line of defense was broken, soon the soldiers of the Ling Army jumped up one after another.
Fierce battles spread to city defense.
As the battles were rampant at the top of the city, the Qin army soldiers could no longer care about the ladders. As a result, the number of spiritual troops was growing higher and higher.
Ma Lin was running back and forth with the sword in his hand, slashing the enemy's rising head, and swung his sword again. He also tore off a battle robe and started writing with blood on it.
After he finished writing quickly, he grabbed a Qin army's neck, widened his eyes, and said with his hair and beards:
"Go and send a message! Tell the king that Qingtian Pass can't be kept!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed the blood letter into the arms of the soldiers and pushed it away.
Then, he raised his sword and rushed towards the spiritual soldiers in front of him, shouting: "Kill--"
On the top of the city, the more you fight, the more chaotic it becomes.
Ye Gui shot one by one, as if he had entered a no-man's land. He swung the silver spear and swept it down. Once it was touched, it was often not one by one, but several Qin soldiers screamed and flew backwards.
"Stop him! Stop him--"
The deputy general of Qin army shouted with a sharp blow.
Under his order, the Qin soldiers around him shouted loudly, rushed forward, aimed at Ye Gui, and the long spears came out together.
"Those who block me will die!"
The latter stared and roared, without dodging, but instead leaped in front of him, and opened the spear in his hand, and blood flew everywhere!
The bravery of the general is too lethal to ordinary soldiers!
Seeing that he was so fierce, the deputy general of Qin's army couldn't help but take a breath, then roared to enhance his courage, held the knife in both hands, and rushed forward.
With the sword on his head, Ye Gui instantly shot his gun, and glared sharply at the same time: "Get out!"
He raised his arm and bounced away the sword. He also swept his sword hard, forcing General Qin back, and walked away quickly again.
Obviously, his target was not the deputy general, but Ma Lin not far away.
Under the storm, there was no one to stop him. Not long after, he was less than twenty steps away from Ma Lin.
"Ma Lin! Come on your life-"
With a loud shout, Ye Gui rushed over, and the cold light flashed, and the silver spear swung, and as soon as he came up, he launched a storm attack.
Ma Lin waved his sword to block it and fought hard with him.
As the two fought together, the attacking spiritual troops on both sides of the city defense began to slowly converge in the middle.
In the field, the sound of weapons colliding from time to time. After a few more moves, Ye Gui used a gun as a knife and hit the head fiercely.
The evil wind blew on his face, and Ma Lin instantly rushed forward with a sword. With a clang, his shoulders collapsed halfway with a rude force, gritted his teeth and resisted them tightly.
Ye Gui stared at his eyes wide and tried his best to press down. Seeing this attack, Ma Lin could not help but turn his wrist and instantly changed his velocity. The spear swept across the sword.
Fortunately, Ma Lin reacted quickly enough and quickly raised his head back, rubbed his neck with the tip of his gun with a cold light, and a blood mark appeared.
But just as he took two steps back, he had not yet stood firm, and the blade suddenly appeared on the right side. A spirit general seized the opportunity and had already slashed.
With a click, Ma Lin's entire left arm was cut off with a knife!
As the blood sprayed, he screamed shrillly, holding the sword in one hand, unable to help but retreat, and his back hit the city wall.
At the same time, Ye Gui's spear also stabbed into Ma Lin's belly with a puff.
Putting it against the wall, Ye Gui glared and said:
"Now kneel down and surrender! Maybe you can spare your life!"
"Ah!!! Every man insulted me-" Ma Lin roared shrillly, his hair and beard were wide open, and he ignored it. He used his feet to force the spear to penetrate his body, pounced forward, waved his sword with one arm, and wanted to die with Ye Gui!
"Ah!?" The latter was also startled, and hurriedly let go, left the silver spear, and let it go aside.
With a sword, Ma Lin turned around instantly with a spear that penetrated his body, and swept across the sword. The two spiritual soldiers could not dodge, and their heads and necks were broken!
And this attack was also his last power!
The huge pain and the sprayed blood had already made his life go away.
After a sword, he could no longer hold on. The sword tip penetrated straight to the ground to support his body and knelt on the ground with one knee.
The spear was still pierced through his belly.
The mouth of the left arm was covered in blood.
He still held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and the sword tip penetrated the ground.
Seeing this scene, Ye Gui couldn't help but take a deep breath and said seriously: "Ma Lin, he is a real hero!"
After a while, several spiritual soldiers raised their long halberds and poked Ma Lin tentatively.
The latter had already been killed in battle, and under the long halberd, the body could not bear the force and fell to the ground.
At this point, the entire army was wiped out by 20,000 defenders at Qingtian Pass, including the defending general Ma Lin.
At the same time, Sun Qi's 100,000 troops also laid favorable defense lines in the Jianyang area.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Ma Lin's bloody battle. Otherwise, it would be too late to use the speed of the spiritual army's blitzkrieg.
Not long after, the news also spread to the Xiangyang War Zone.
Looking at the blood book in his hand, Xiao Yuan's hands trembled, and then slapped the hand hard on the hand and closed his eyes deeply.
"General Ma Lin, a model for our generals."
Of course he was sad, and his heart was also clear. He could not blame Sun Qi for the overall situation.
A few days later, the incident of Ma Lin's death in Qingtian Pass also spread to the Qin King's Court, causing a considerable shock to the court officials.
In the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, Lu Yunyan narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, clenched his fists hard, and said with a slight slight voice:
Chapter completed!
