Chapter five hundred and eighty third Longxi guard battle
The blood-like sunset slowly disappeared in the west. On the top of the Longxi City, the smell of blood was everywhere. Jiang Ji slowly walked on the top of the city, being very careful to avoid stepping on the people lying on the ground.
The soldiers bent down from time to time and looked at the soldiers at their feet. If the soldier was still alive, Jiang Ji would comfort him, but if the soldier was dead, Jiang Ji's face would become more solemn.
"Wen Jie! Wen Jie!" A voice sounded from the side. When Jiang Jiu turned around, it was Deng Dang coming from the side. At this moment, Deng Dang's armor was crooked and the helmet on his head was already unknown.
Even his bun was loose and loose, with a few strands of hair falling down from his head. His face and body were covered with blood stains, some from his enemies and some from his own. His arms were wrapped with a circle of white cloth, most of which had already been stained with blood.
He was stained red by blood. The expression on his face was no longer as energetic as before. The circles under his eyes were dark, showing a trace of tiredness. Only those eyes were still bright, showing his determination and persistence.
On the other hand, Jiang Ji was not much better. The armor on his body was also in tatters. Although he still wore a helmet on his head, the tassel on his head had long since disappeared. There was also a large circle wrapped around Jiang Ji's chest.
The white cloth, on the right side of the chest, was stained red with blood, which made people feel panicked. In contrast, Jiang Ji's expression was far worse than Deng Dang's, especially his eyes, which were gradually filled with blood.
He was in despair. Seeing Deng Dang coming over, Jiang Ji reluctantly put on a smile and said to Deng Dang: "Uncle He, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Looking at Jiang Jiong's appearance, Deng Dang also sighed in his heart. Today's battle during the day was the most costly battle in recent days. Many of Jiang Jiong's old subordinates died in the battle. It's no wonder that Jiang Jiong looked like this. However,
Deng Dang would not watch Jiang Jiong lose it like this. Dangdang smiled and said: "Wen Jie! Go and have a look! Madam Sister-in-law is here with Wei'er!"
After hearing Deng Dang's words, Jiang Ji's eyes finally showed a little sparkle, and he hurriedly said: "My wife and Wei'er? Where are they?"
Seeing Jiang Ji's anxious look, Deng Dang also smiled slightly. At least Jiang Ji's wife and children were of some use. Immediately, Deng Dang pointed in the direction of the city and said, "Hey! Madam Sister-in-law is right there with Wei'er.
They’re waiting below! Go find them quickly! I’ll leave this place to me for the time being!”
According to the shift, Jiang Jiong should be in charge of the night watch now, but now that Jiang Jiong's wife and children have arrived, Deng Dang has helped to take over the watch for Jiang Jiong. A trace of gratitude flashed in Jiang Jiong's eyes, and he saluted Deng Dang with a fist in his arms, and then immediately
After getting off the city, Deng Dang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled when he saw Jiang Jiong's anxious back. He hoped Jiang Jiong's wife and children could help him regain his fighting spirit! Thinking of this, Dengdang couldn't help but shook his head, and then continued
Patrolling the city.
Jiang Ji, who had driven down from the top of the city, looked around the city wall and his eyes immediately lit up. Not far to his left, he saw a woman holding a child in her arms, looking this way.
Immediately, Jiang Ji quickly ran up to the woman. All the dark expressions on his face had long since disappeared. His eyes looked at the woman and child, full of tenderness.
This woman is naturally Jiang Jiong's wife Su. Su's appearance is very ordinary. Although she is not ugly, she cannot be said to be beautiful. From the appearance, she is just an ordinary woman from a good family. However, Su
Su Shi does not have the fierceness that is unique to women from the northwest. Instead, she is a bit as graceful and gentle as women from the south of the Yangtze River. And the child in Su Shi's arms is Jiang Ji's son. The boy is almost three years old and has a tiger-like head.
Yes, when he saw Jiang Jiong coming, he opened his hands and wanted to lean on his father.
Jiang Ji chuckled, hugged his son, raised it high, shook it in the air, then took it back into his arms, teased his son's chubby face with his hands, and said with a smile: "Weier!
Do you miss daddy?"
At first, the kid was happy to be hugged by his father, but as soon as he got into Jiang Jiong's arms, the kid wrinkled his nose and immediately burst into tears. Jiang Jiong frowned, and then he remembered that it must be
The smell of blood on her body made her son feel uncomfortable, and she immediately returned her son to his wife's arms. Su Shi gently coaxed her a few times, and then she stopped the little devil's crying.
After this period, the little ghost head no longer wanted to lean on Jiang Jiong, but directly retracted into his mother's arms and refused to look at Jiang Jiong.
This move of his son made Jiang Ji dumbfounded. He could only ignore the angry little devil for the time being. Then Jiang Ji turned around and smiled at Su: "Thank you for your hard work these days! I need you to take care of it alone.
Family matters! Just wait for two more days! After these two days, the war will be over! Then, I will come to spend more time with you mother and son!"
Mrs. Su nodded obediently, without any intention of blaming her husband on her face. Instead, she gently touched the red mark on Jiang Jiong's chest with one hand. A trace of pity flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled again.
He said: "Don't worry at home! Wei'er and I will move to the prefect's mansion in the next few days. We don't have to worry about food and accommodation! Have a good fight! Wei'er and I are waiting for you to come back!" As he said that, he caressed Jiang.
The thin hands on Jiang Ji's chest climbed up to Jiang Ji's shoulders again, helping Jiang Ji straighten the crooked shoulder pads, and then smiled brightly at Jiang Ji again.
Seeing his wife's smiling face, Jiang Ji nodded vigorously, and all the heaviness in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant! The bright and confident smile returned to Jiang Ji's face again, and Jiang Ji said to his wife: "Madam!
Don’t worry! I will definitely come back! After this battle is over, I will take you to Chang’an! Find a good gentleman for Wei’er and let him become a talented person!”
"Well!" Seeing that her husband's face had regained its confidence, Su was relieved and said nothing more. She just smiled and said to Jiang Ji, "Okay! I'm waiting for you! Go quickly.
Come on! General Deng is still waiting for you! Wei'er and I will go back now!" After saying that, Mrs. Su gently patted the back of her son in her arms. The little devil subconsciously turned around after being patted like this.
, glanced at his father, probably remembering the previous scene, turned his head, and buried it aside again.
Looking at his son's performance, Jiang Ji also smiled. He could not get angry at his son. He patted his son's head gently, nodded to his wife, and then turned around and went up to the city.
Su, on the other hand, continued to stand where she was, watching Jiang Jiong's leaving figure until he could no longer see her. Then she slowly turned around and walked towards the city.
At the top of the city, Deng Dang was still patrolling. When he looked up, he happened to see Jiang Jiong coming up to the city head. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately walked towards Jiang Jiong and said reproachfully: "Why did you come up so quickly?
Are you there? Why don’t you chat more with Madam-in-law? Don’t worry, I’m here! You’d better get down quickly!”
"It's okay! She can understand!" Jiang Ji waved his hand and replied, and then said to Deng Dang seriously: "That's right! Let's discuss today's battle! Today's battle
, the enemy obviously has new reinforcements! They have strengthened their offensive, so the losses of our defenders are much greater than those of the previous two days!"
Seeing Jiang Jiong's appearance, Dengdang also saw that he had come out of the shadows, and he was naturally happy for his old friend. When Jiang Jiong brought up business, Deng Dang immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, nodded and began to listen to Jiang Jiong.
narrate, nodding constantly.
It has been eight days since the siege of Longxi City. According to the previous agreement, there are still two days before Chang'an's reinforcements can arrive. After Deng Dang and Jiang Ji had seen the enemy's siege level, they
I thought that there would be no problem in persisting until the tenth day. But I never thought that on the third day, the enemy would actually send a lot more reinforcements! Although the enemy generals were still not very good, they could not stand up to the enemy's people.
There are so many! As the saying goes, the ant kills the elephant. Being attacked by the opponent so recklessly, the defenders suffered huge losses in just a few days! After the enemy retreated today, there were only less than a few defenders left on the city.
Thousands of people! And there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 enemies outside the city! Even excluding the more than 10,000 Huns cavalry, the remaining Qiang army is more than enough for the defenders!
After listening to Jiang Jiong's narration, Deng Dang frowned tightly. The current situation has completely exceeded the two people's previous calculations. If it continues like this, they may not be able to survive tomorrow! What should we do? Deng Dang's
This question came to mind, and he raised his head and looked at Jiang Ji, who was also looking at Deng Dang with a wry smile on his face. As the saying goes, a good woman can't make a meal without rice, and now this gap in strength is no longer just relying on something.
Fortunately, the enemies outside the city are not smart enough, and they are only attacking the west gate of Longxi City. If the enemy takes advantage of their strength and attacks the four gates of Longxi City at the same time, it will
The few defenders in Longxi City had to be separated. If that happened, Longxi City would be even more undefendable!
Taking a deep breath and looking at the garrison soldiers lying on the ground in various directions on the top of the city, Deng Dang opened his mouth and was about to say something. Suddenly, bursts of horns sounded from the south of the city.
Deng Dang and Jiang Jiu couldn't help but were stunned, and soon their faces became gloomy. They were really afraid of what might happen! Although the other three city gates had not been attacked by the enemy before, Deng Dang still deployed a small number of soldiers and horses on the other three sides.
Surveillance was carried out at the city gate. Unexpectedly, at such a critical juncture, the arrangements made in advance finally worked! However, neither Deng Dang nor Jiang Jiong showed on their faces that they had calculated the enemy's actions.
There was no joy, on the contrary, there was even more despair in their hearts!
The enemy began to attack other city gates!
ps: There is only one day left! Wait until the exam is over tomorrow, and the outbreak will begin next week! The vest will definitely do what it says this time~~~~
