Chapter 415: Defending the city to the death, the emperor was furious
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the fifteenth year of Xinglong's reign, as the winter snow melted away and the weather became warmer, the ice floes on the riverbed outside Shangjing City completely turned into running water.
The old Zhao Zhen wrote an edict.
[Angelica sinensis from the world]
With these four words, Daxiang's troops were quickly mobilized, and within half a month, they all arrived at the border areas.
In addition to the 150,000 soldiers and horses guarding the border areas, nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses have arrived at the border areas.
The storm is rising!
The rumbling sound of the army's conquest resounded throughout the world, pressing towards Xi Xiao step by step with a bloody spirit.
Within half a day, Yongning City, the main city of Xixiaobian Pass, was destroyed.
King Xiang's army entered the area, rested for a while, and then extended in all directions. It was unstoppable!
Within half a month, King Xiang captured three cities one after another, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken.
…
The royal court of Xixiao.
It only takes half a day to rectify the troops and horses, and then we can set off!
An army of 300,000 goes east to the border to compete!
His Majesty Xi Xiao pulled out the Emperor's Blade, wore golden armor, and the war horse hummed under his crotch.
Phytolacca held a long sword in his hand and scanned the three armies with his eyes.
The sound of horse hooves kept ringing.
"Prince Xiang is so ambitious that he offends me, Xi Xiao!"
"This trip is dangerous, and there may be no return, but if you are afraid, the Xiangjun cavalry will step into Xixiao soon! Insult my compatriots, bully my relatives, even if there is fear in my heart, I should move forward with my sword,
Even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
Shang Lu raised the long sword in his hand and said loudly: "I am the king of the country, and I will live and die with you during this trip!"
"Go east this time!"
"The blade drinks blood! Destroy the enemy army!"
The voice fell.
A thundering sound came from tens of thousands of people in unison.
"The blade drinks blood and destroys the enemy army!"
"The blade drinks blood and destroys the enemy army!"
With the morale of the army greatly shaken, the merchant wearing golden armor on the horse said coldly.
"Leave!"
Xi Ming's 150,000-strong army all marched eastward.
At the same time, soldiers and horses from all over the Xixiao Empire formed an army and rushed to the border as quickly as possible.
A total of 300,000 soldiers and horses, fighting for life and death together!
…
"kill!!!"
The sound of fighting sounded from under the city.
The counselor standing next to the general saw this situation and said: "General, this battle is difficult to defeat. If we don't retreat, it will be too late..."
The general's brows were deep, and he turned to glare at the counselor.
The counselor was startled and quickly lowered his head.
I heard the general holding the sword at his waist tightly and saying, "Send the people in the city out of the city!"
"I would rather die than retreat!"
"Either die on the battlefield outside the city! Or! Die in front of this city gate!"
The battle lasted for several days. There were only a few thousand troops left in the city, most of whom were wounded. However, there were 50,000 troops outside the city. There was no chance of winning this battle.
However, Dongyu City is an important area, involving several military camps in Xixiao. If this city is destroyed, it will be difficult for reinforcements from the rear to gather.
Even if you die, you have to hold on until reinforcements arrive!
"This Dongyu City is really a tough nut to crack!"
Seeing this situation, the general in the tent did not intend to delay it any longer.
"Send more troops and horses! We are going to capture Dongyu City as quickly as possible! Anyone who dares to delay the military will be shot to death!"
The Xiang army's offensive became more and more fierce.
"Bang..."
The giant wood banged against the city gate.
Every time it shook, it kicked up a puff of smoke.
And behind the city gate, there were hundreds of soldiers holding the city gate tightly.
"Hold! Hold!!"
During this period, countless soldiers were exhausted at the door.
Every time one falls, another rises on top.
The vibration from the door made their arms numb, and even their internal organs trembled. Some people had blood coming from their mouths, and some screamed at the top of their lungs.
At this moment, the lives of thousands of people behind them all depend on them.
"Fang Jian!"
Arrows rained from the sky and fell into the city.
There were corpses everywhere, beacon fires were billowing at the top of the city, and thick smoke was rising everywhere.
Enemy troops climbed up the city.
The soldiers clashed with each other, making a clanging sound!
Blood almost covered the entire tower, and someone used his last breath to stab into the chest of the enemy soldier.
"A dog's cock is broken!"
He roared and blood splashed all over his face.
The exhausted soldier also fell down at this moment, and within a moment, he lost his voice.
"Hurry up and get on top! Get on top!"
"kill!!"
"Watch the back!"
The few thousand people left in the city defended the city.
Every one of them was ready to die, and even some wounded soldiers climbed to the city entrance and fought with the Xiang army with their broken bodies.
"What am I afraid of? I'm in ruins! It's not a loss if I die! I'll make a lot of money by killing one!"
For three days in a row, day and night.
There are now only about two thousand people left in the city, and only a handful of them are uninjured.
Behind the city gate, nearly a thousand corpses were piled there, blocking the impact outside the gate.
The general was injured in his right hand and held a sword in his left hand. He kept fighting on the top of the city and refused to let any enemy troops enter the city.
"It's coming over there! Go quickly! Go quickly!"
The general roared, but at this moment, a long sword pierced his body from behind.
The general's eyes widened and he turned to look.
"General!!"
someone exclaimed.
"kill!!!"
The general's face turned cold, and he turned around and slashed with his sword.
"Into your mother!"
The long knife slashed across the enemy's neck, and blood spurted out. After swaying twice, he fell down.
The general's figure fell down on the city wall.
He could no longer breathe, and there was blood in his throat, which kept bubbling out.
"General! General!"
Someone came forward to meet him, his eyes blood red.
The general stretched out his hand, and only a faint sound could be heard from his mouth.
"Keep...keep..."
After saying this, he stopped completely and relaxed all over.
"ah!!!"
The young general seemed to have gone crazy and started to kill the enemy!
His eyes were red, only looking for killing.
"kill!!"
I don't know when a loud roar came from behind.
"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!!"
Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses did not stop for a moment, and finally arrived at Dongyu City.
When Shang Lu saw the devastation on top of the city, his eyes immediately turned red.
"All enemy troops! Leave no one alive!"
And when the army was about to leave the city and saw the mountains of corpses piled under the city gate, they all became red-eyed without exception.
"Asshole! Account!"
"Kill me! Kill all these bastards!"
The city gates opened wide, and suddenly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses poured into the battlefield.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation suddenly reversed.
The enemy troops outside the city were beaten and retreated.
"Chase! Chase! Don't let these bastards go!"
However, they had no intention of letting go of the nearly 10,000 enemy troops. It was not until they chased for several miles and killed thousands more enemy troops that they slowly calmed down their anger.
Shang Lu stood at the top of the city. He stood guard in front of the corpse of the Dongyu City guard and murmured: "I am late..."
He stretched out his hand and touched the general's wide eyes.
The general also slowly closed his eyes.
Shang Lu looked up and saw corpses strewn across the field, and it was difficult to regain the murderous intention in his heart.
"Zhao Zhen!!"
An angry rebuke came from between his teeth.
Just for a moment, this usually easy-going Majesty...
