Many things in the world cannot tell right or wrong, but only depend on choice.
Different people have different choices, and the choice itself is not absolutely right or wrong. From the moment you stick to Suiyang, Zhang Xun was prepared to die and die for the country. He destroyed his family and helped the country.
Not everyone can do it, but these soldiers who stayed in Suiyang City can obviously do it.
This is not because they have the same ambitions as Zhang Xun.
They are all ordinary people. If they were in a peaceful era, they might have just wanted to make money and military merits in their lives to marry their wives and serve their mothers, and live a comfortable life for a few days. But now in chaos, the rebels have led their troops south to defeat two consecutive times.
If Beijing, if they were allowed to conquer Suiyang again, the Tang Dynasty would be powerless to turn things around.
As ordinary people, they don’t have so many ambitions and ideals, but they know one thing well that the rebels are Hu people!
This rebellion was nominally An Lushan raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it was a foreign invasion similar to the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. The Khitans, Xi people, Luo people, Turks, those who used to crawl at the feet of the Tang Dynasty respectfully suppose to the Tang Dynasty.
The tribes beat horses and whipped them one after another and raised their butchers' knives to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
If the rebels were allowed to conquer Suiyang and seize Huainan, it would not be as simple as dynasties. The descendants of the Tang Dynasty and Yan and Huang were likely to become slaves of the country and become sinners of Chinese civilization.
This is something they can't afford. In order to prevent their descendants from crawling on the ground and begging for mercy as slaves, they must fight without hesitation even if they only have the last bit of strength left. Fight one more point, and hope is more.
This hope does not belong to the country of one family, but to each of them, to the Tang Dynasty of every family,!
No one knows when they can hold on. Maybe they will die in the next moment, or maybe they will die in jealousy and hunger, but they are destined not to let the rebels step into Suiyang City easily. This is not
Commitment, this is just responsibility.
This is not a responsibility to the emperors and generals, but to their descendants! It is a responsibility to make the Tang Dynasty still serve the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty still serve the Tang Dynasty!
From sunrise to dusk, the soldiers of Suiyang City have been fighting with the rebels. There are broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and rolling heads everywhere. Blood and flesh splashing on them. They will only gently brush away, and then again.
Bend your bow and archery to aim at the rebels who are racing towards the city wall.
They did not have enough brothers, they did not have enough food, and even the arrows they depended on were in short supply, but they would not fall.
Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan hurriedly climbed the city from the horse road and inspected the city guarding in the north city.
Earlier, Yin Ziqi sent a dead soldier to push several catapults outside the walls of the North City, and conducted a tentative projection. The appearance of these other people and objects caused great responses in the city, and the soldiers in Suiyang City were all.
They were very aware of the power of this monster. If it was fully utilized, Suiyang City would be wiped out instantly.
But I don’t know if the angle is not well grasped or the design of the catapult cart is flawed, but the stones projected by the rebels are not too powerful. Some stones as big as millstones were thrown out, but
It was soft and fell on the top of the city, leaving only some inconspicuous scratches. Only the walls in some places collapsed slightly due to disrepair due to their disrepair, but it was not a big deal.
But Zhang Xun has always been careful in his work. He was afraid that the collapsed warrant would leave hidden dangers, so he came to the city to urge the soldiers to fill it up. Judging from the current situation, the filling of warrants has progressed well. Although the food in Suiyang City is in the city of Suiyang
In shortage, the stones are grabbed and beaten, and then mixed with glutinous rice mud to fill the gaps in the collapsed areas is very easy.
Since the sunset, the rebels' offensive has been greatly weakened. Until now, only sporadic shouts and the sound of feather arrows cutting through the sky were heard. Zhang Xun walked to the squadron and looked at the city with the faint light of torches.
The dense rebels.
Compared to one month ago, there were a lot more rebels outside the city at this time. They seemed to know that the food in Suiyang City was gradually increasing, and the offensive launched on Suiyang City over the past few days has become increasingly fierce.
As one goes up and down, the soldiers only felt that they were unable to defend the city. Although they kept encouraging them to be loyal to the country, they really didn't know when they could hold on.
"Mr. Zhang, as I see, the rebels will definitely attack the North Gate the next day!" Xu Yuan sighed with a frown. If he insisted on finding a gap in the four city gates, the North Gate would undoubtedly be the most fragile.
The city wall here was damaged to a certain extent, and the moat was filled by the rebels. If the rebels gathered heavy troops to attack on the ladder, I really don’t know if there was any good way to keep the enemy out of the city gate.
Zhang Xun nodded and said, "Mr. Xu is right. I also think the rebels will attack the North City. But everything has advantages and disadvantages. If they are dedicated to attacking the other three gates of the North Gate, the pressure will be much smaller. Then we can
Draw the city guard equipment from the other three gates.”
After saying that, Zhang Xunchong Nan Jiyun, who was beside him, ordered: "It is necessary to step up patrols at the city tonight. The rebels had just launched a fierce attack in the afternoon. Our soldiers are in exhaustion. Do not let the rebels go.
Take advantage of loopholes.”
Nan Jiyun clasped his fists at Zhang Xun and said, "The General of the Ultimate will get the order! Don't worry, even if anyone goes to sleep, the General of the Ultimate will guard this northern city. If the rebels want to attack Suiyang from the Northern City, they will first
You have to step over my Nanba's body!"
After hearing what Nan Jiyun said was so tragic, Zhang Xunyi sighed in his heart and patted Zhang Xun's arm: "Good brother!"
Most of the soldiers at the top of Suiyang City were awakened by the shrill sound of the rebels' horns in the early morning.
When they were convinced that they were not dreaming, they all rolled up and subconsciously looked behind them.
"Don't use crossbows. They are still far away now. Take some time, save some time for me!" Captain Ma Yue glared at the soldiers beside him and scolded loudly. These bastards don't know if they are not in charge of their own family.
There are firewood, rice, oil and salt. Nowadays, arrows in the city are in short supply. They don’t know how to save some use. Do they have to wait until there are no arrows available before they know how to regret it?
"But the horse head doesn't shoot arrows. Do you watch the rebels attack the city?" The soldier was still stubborn and argued with Ma Yue with his chest straight.
"Hey, you kid are quite stubborn!" Ma Yue put his hands on his hips and glared at the soldier and said, "I said that, you do this, and the sky fell and I am afraid of a hammer!"
After a moment of pause, Ma Yue continued: "If they dare to attack the city, let them attack. When they board the ladder, we will smash the stone and roll the wood down and teach them a lesson!"
Although the Bingzi was still dissatisfied, he could not find a better reason to argue with Ma Yue, so he had to lower his head and put away half of the crossbow.
Time flies the fastest and slowest on the battlefield.
Fighting on the field is often only between life and death. However, waiting for the enemy to get closer seems so long and so difficult to deal with.
The soldiers at the top of the North City City could not use bows and arrows to block the rebels from a distance, so they could only watch these enemies approaching them step by step.
Every time the rebels went further, their heartbeats accelerated, and by the end they had been beating wildly.
It's approaching, it's approaching!
Brothers can see the flag embroidered with the Cang Wolf, the big character Yan, and even the flowing clouds embroidered around the flag.
When they got closer to them, they could even see the patterns on the rebel armor and even see their cheeks through the heavy wrappings. What surprised the soldiers of Suiyang City were that these rebel soldiers and They have the same face. They are not the Hu soldiers? Are they like me carved out from the same mold?
It was not until his captain told them that a large part of the rebel soldiers were recruited from Xingyang, Luoyang and other places that these soldiers suddenly realized. It turned out that the rebel soldiers were not only Hu soldiers from Fanyang, Pinglu and other places, but also from He They are also flirting with a fellow villager with an authentic Henan accent!
But at this moment they will not hesitate or mercy, because this is on the battlefield! They are rebels, enemies, and people who want to kill themselves! Similarly, their mission is to stick to the city and do as much as possible Kill them to keep your own safety.
There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only strength or weakness. There are no good or evil people in the fight, only dead or living people.
If you want to survive, you have to kill people and keep killing people.
"Matouer, Matouer and others have attacked the city!" The young-faced soldier looked at the dense rebels under the city, and was panicked for a moment and shouted.
"You're afraid of a hammer!" Ma Yue glared at the military soldier fiercely and said, "Hello the military trainees to carry the rolling wood, and greet them well. Oh, don't smash them now, wait until they are halfway through!"
Ma Yue was impatient and taught the Bingzi what he needed to pay attention to on the battlefield over and over again.
When can throw stones cause the greatest damage to the enemy, and when should we accumulate strength to show weakness to lure the rebels to attack and reveal flaws? These are by no means what can be learned in books, and they need to accumulate and explore by themselves through repeated actual combat.
Ma Yue sighed in his heart. If his brother had not died in the endless offensive and defensive battles before, how could it be these soldiers who had not grown all their hair to make up for the number of people.
ps: I found some feelings, well, the ending has been decided!
