Fufeng Song

Chapter 5 Defense

At noon the next day.

The city walled by the Jin army is still resisting tenaciously.

There is a desolate hill more than ten miles away from the walled city, and on the highest point grows a large pagoda tree as thick as two people hugging each other.Around the tree stood a troop of cavalry in silence.Each knight is fully armored, with alert eyes exposed under the helmet, holding a long lance, a saber hanging from his waist, and some even carry a horned bow and quiver.The man is strong and the horse is strong, and he looks extremely sturdy.Surrounded by the cavalry was a large azure flag that was almost as high as the locust tree, and a ferocious black wolf was embroidered on the flag fluttering in the wind.

A black horse stands under the banner.This horse has a broad chest, and its limbs are as strong as cast iron. Its smooth skin has a black luster, without a trace of impurities.Riding on it was a Huns general about thirty years old.He is tall and tall, with sharp edges and corners on his bronze face.There are dark red pupils in the slightly long and narrow eye sockets.

This general was the fourth son of Da Shanyu Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and Liu Xuanming, king of Zuoguli of the Xiongnu.Among the kings of the Xiongnu, the "Four Corners" of Zuoxian King, Youxian King, Zuoguli King, and Youguli King are the most noble.Liu Congshi is the fourth person in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom after the Great Chanyu and the Left and Right Kings.

At this moment, he squinted his eyes and stared at a general who was standing in front of the horse in trepidation, and asked coldly, "Is it all finished?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from some place deep in the earth The cave has a special charm.

The general curled up almost like a gray rabbit on the prairie: "It's all over...the villain has absolutely no lies." Then he lowered his head so deeply that it almost touched the ground.

This time Liu Cong led an army of [-] to attack the cities in the east of Bingzhou.The troops were divided into six groups and advanced aggressively, and all the armies under his command were invincible, but this small fortress was unable to take it after two days of fierce fighting.This is definitely a shame for the Huns who have been invincible since the uprising.According to the original punishment of the Xiongnu tribe, the little Qianchang in charge of the command in front of him would not be enough to die five times.

Liu Cong raised his hand to cover Meifeng, looked at the city wall standing in the distance for a moment, then turned his horse's head to the shade of the locust tree, avoiding the setting sun: "Let your people withdraw."

The black horse suddenly snorted excitedly, kicked the ground violently with its four hooves, and spun on the spot.Liu Cong stroked the horse's mane, and his gentle and soothing movements calmed the horse quickly: "Let my subordinates go to meet them. I hope they are as brave and good at fighting as you said."

The Xiongnu's four consecutive fierce offensives were all repelled, leaving a large number of corpses under the wall of the village in vain.Judging by the way they retreated this time, not only was the team scattered, but their morale had also plummeted.

Looking up at the sky, Lu Yao fastened the armor on his body tightly, and said to the soldiers around him: "Let's go, it's our turn!"

After the one hundred warriors were selected last night, they never went into battle again. They rested for eight hours, recovering their physical strength very well.Almost all the existing sophisticated weapons and armor were concentrated on them.Lu Yao rode past them on horseback, and what he saw on their faces was the determination to fight to the death, the murderous aura that was almost condensed into substance.

"Very good!" Lu Yao nodded in satisfaction, holding the spear tightly.

Another group of soldiers were frantically scraping away the earth and rocks blocking the gate of the village.At this time, it was almost done, and the rest of the gate could be opened without hindrance. Three soldiers were carefully lifting the door mortar made of thick logs.

At this moment, the soldiers standing on the wall of the stronghold suddenly let out violent exclamations.

"What's going on?" Lu Yao frowned and asked.None of the soldiers on the wall answered.Lu Yao took the reins lightly and rode his horse up the wall directly from a ramp.The scene in front of him made him gasp.

As far as he could see, endless black-clothed soldiers rushed in like a tide.The sound of their footsteps on the ground was like hundreds of battle drums beating at the same time, causing the ground to vibrate slightly.Behind the forest of spears and halberds, more than a dozen flags representing the identity of the commander of the Huns fluttered high.

Lu Yao felt as if his heart was being squeezed so hard by a giant hand that it was almost about to burst.He groaned in pain, turned around abruptly, and shouted to the warriors below the city who were ready to go: "The enemy's reinforcements have arrived! Everyone go to the city!"

The Huns warriors in black walked forward unhurriedly.When they entered the bow and arrow shooting range, the crossbowmen of the Jin army began to shoot violently.But after those arrows flew into the Huns' formation, it was like sand and gravel sinking into the sea, without even stirring up a wave.On the contrary, it was the retaliation of the Huns' archers that caused huge damage to the Jin army.

Under the cover of feather arrows that were dense like raindrops, the Huns approached to about a hundred paces.Suddenly they shouted in unison and rushed forward.

More than fifty ladders climbed to the top of the wall at the same time, and the battle entered an extremely tragic stage from the very beginning.

The Hun soldiers in black who went into the attack this time were far superior in morale, equipment, and combat quality to the previous pursuers.The Jin army relied on the wall of the village to dominate, and the number of casualties still exceeded that of the opponent.

Lu Yao shielded himself with an iron shield in his left hand, and swept across with a gun in his right hand, and the barbarian in front of him flew out amidst the screams.But this time the enemy army that was killed was more brave than the previous opponents. As soon as the previous one fell, several people behind him rushed forward like crazy.Their equipment also far exceeds that of their original opponents, almost everyone is wearing armor and holding extremely sophisticated weapons.

Even though Lu Yao tried his best to resist, but after all, two fists are no match for four hands.In the blink of an eye, he was repeatedly wounded, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses. There were only a dozen people around him barely supporting him.The Hu people were still approaching like a tide.

A young man in a long suit shouted: "Master, we may not be able to stand it anymore!" The young man's name was He Yun, although he was young, he was already an old soldier for many years.He has excellent archery skills and is Lu Yao's capable subordinate.

Lu Yao kicked He Yun down, and was about to yell at him when a barbarian leaned in from the wall beside him.Lu Yao didn't care about He Yun, and stabbed the barbarian's face with a gun.

This barbarian is also a warrior with extraordinary martial arts skills. He waved his mace to meet him, and swung his spear away with a loud bang.

Lu Yao took advantage of the situation and danced with a spear, the spear retracted like a snake spitting out a letter, and stabbed from another angle in an instant.How did this barbarian prevent such a surreptitious marksmanship, the point of the spear pierced through his shoulder blade.With a hiss, he still rushed forward.Lu Yao's long spear was still stuck on his shoulder, and he couldn't hold it for a while, but he simply let go of the gun and slapped the shield on his face with all his strength.Immediately, the man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

He Yun got up from the ground, fired arrows like a string of arrows, and shot down the other two barbarians who were approaching.

Just as Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet shake violently, and there was a loud bang like heaven and earth ripping in his ears, and then thousands of people shouted in unison.There were several desperate cries: "The city is broken! The city is broken! The barbarians have come in!"

A section of the wall twenty feet away had collapsed yesterday, supported by improvised wooden fences.At this time, the wooden fence had been completely overthrown, and the walls connecting the two sides of the wooden fence also collapsed, stirring up dust as high as half a day.Indistinctly in the dust, countless barbarians rushed into the village from the gap, screaming wildly. The defenders in that section had already scattered and fled. Many people were slaughtered by the barbarians one by one amidst the screams. Can't live.

The hearts of everyone in the city suddenly despaired - such a situation was indeed unbearable.

"Haha..." Lu Yao smiled wryly and dropped the iron shield, feeling relieved for a moment.The arduous and bloody battles of the past few days, the ups and downs of the past few years, and the confusion of this half of my life, it is probably time to make an end at this moment, right?

But someone shouted in my ear: "Master, send the order quickly! We have to retreat!" It turned out that He Yun turned around again, and shouted while pulling Lu Yao's arm.

At this time, there was no need to send an order, the crowd surrounded Lu Yao and went down to the wall of the village, and then left.

Chen Yi's roar came from not far away: "All the troops follow me to kill the enemy! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!" This person has always been timid and afraid of fighting, but at this moment he burst out with courage that no one can match. Some trance, also have to admire.But Chen Yi's position was facing the part of the wall that was breached, and before the roar fell, dozens of barbarians came to kill him.As soon as he put on a posture, he was chopped into meat by dozens of knives and guns.

The dozens of barbarians shouted to the sky with knives and guns in their hands, then turned around and rushed towards Lu Yao's group of men and horses.

Lu Yao hurriedly said: "Quickly go back, go back!"

A group of people fought and retreated, walking among the ruined walls in the village.

On the way, I ran into Xue Tong leading a group of people.Xue Tong had been killed so blood stained his head and face that he didn't even know where to throw the family heirloom sword, so the two groups worked together.Huicheng's small force of no more than 20 people pierced through holes in the wall along the way and fled.Unexpectedly, at this time, there were many rout soldiers running around like headless chickens, which slowed down their steps instead.

Suddenly he heard the sound of swords and soldiers clashing in front of him. It turned out that Wang Wei had been placed alone for some reason, and was fighting fiercely in the center surrounded by several barbarians.

These barbarians all use ring-headed broadswords, which are heavy and powerful, truly powerful.In a blink of an eye, Wang Wei roared loudly, and was seriously injured.Seeing that the situation was critical, Lu Yao threw his spear with all his strength, and the spear was as fast as lightning, and immediately nailed a barbarian to the ground.The other barbarians couldn't help being furious and turned around to approach Lu Yao. One of them jumped up in the air and slashed at Lu Yao's head with a "hoo".

Lu Yao rubbed his body and stepped forward, reaching out with his right hand, just holding the wrist of the barbarian holding the knife.He shouted in a low voice and exerted his strength, immediately snatched the knife back, and stabbed the barbarian's chest with his backhand.

The rest of the people rushed up to force the barbarians back, and several soldiers rushed forward to pick up Wang Wei.

It's just that this will inevitably delay the time.Xue Tong shouted: "Go quickly, don't delay!" He ran first.

After walking a few steps, only the soldiers exclaimed.Lu Yao turned around and saw a lot of blood mixed with froth overflowing from the corner of Wang Wei's mouth, making a sound like a bellows.A gleaming long knife was stabbed obliquely in his chest. Seeing that he would not live much longer, his distorted face twitched a few times due to the severe pain, and he said with difficulty: "I can't make it, let's have a good time!"

A large amount of blood poured out along the blood groove on the side of the blade. Anyone could see that Wang Wei's life was disappearing rapidly. The soldiers supporting him panicked and didn't know what to do. How can it be blocked!In a blink of an eye, the ground under him was stained red.

Wang Wei said in a low voice, "Don't bother, draw your sword."

Lu Yao held the handle of the long knife.The knife raised the blood mark.

"Thank you." Wang Wei mumbled, his eyes lost their luster.

A few drops of blood splashed on Lu Yao's stern side face. Against the bright red liquid, his face was shockingly white.

At this time, the Hu people had already entered the stronghold in a large scale, and whistles and shouts of madness came from all around.The Hu people's advance was resolute, powerful, and extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, a huge encirclement circle was formed. The entire city had completely fallen into their hands, extinguishing everyone's hope of escape.

Yang Yi yelled loudly from behind a house: "All soldiers, don't panic, follow me out of the stronghold!" made a sound.
