Chapter 1211 Between life and death
As Cai Xide made a quick decision, ordering all the siege troops to withdraw and concentrate on surrounding Pugu Huaien's army, the messy Zhending city finally gradually calmed down. Ding Zhuang in the city heard the sound of yelling reinforcements, plucked up the courage to pick up the simple weapons and counterattack the city wall. Despite this, while the rebels retreated, they did not really think of the benevolence, and did not let go of these defenders who caused him to suffer heavy casualties. Before leaving, they had not forgotten to come and fired arrows at the last time. At this moment, they saw corpses everywhere on the city, and the situation was terrible.
The people who took back the city were collecting the bodies of soldiers while distracting the situation outside the city. When someone moved away the bodies that were almost piled up together, they suddenly shouted: "It's Yan Jun and Yuan Changshi."
Hearing this, several people rushed over and carefully moved several bodies away, and only then did they find Yan Gaoqing who was dying. A middle-aged man who was good at medical skills hurriedly squatted down next to Yan Gaoqing. Seeing that there were many injuries, they obviously did not hurt the bones, and they were not shot. He quickly reached out and pinched Yan Gaoqing's people. Seeing that he opened his eyes slightly, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Envoy Yan is still alive"
Yan Gaoqing heard the loud shouts coming from his ears in a daze. After opening his eyes, it took him a long time to see the scene in front of him, and his face changed drastically. When the rebels fired the arrows, he and Yuan Luqian blocked one wall after another. When the arrows were fired, they didn't know who was knocked to the ground. Then they fainted and knew nothing. He looked around at the tragic scene in front of him, his heart was twisted and his eyes were red. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound coming from his ears.
"Envoy Yan, Yuan Changshi... Yuan Changshi is almost out of reach"
Yan Gaoqing had no joy at all of the joy of surviving the disaster. When he heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning and almost rolled and crawled towards the sound. When he saw Yuan Luqian lying in the arms of a young man, a long arrow was pierced through his right rib, and blood stained his clothes red, he felt his whole body trembling.
"Envoy..."
"Old Yuan... Brother Yuan, hold on, the rebels have retreated. The old general Pugu will definitely win this battle. There are some good doctors in Zhending City who are good at rejuvenating their skills. You hold on."
Yuan Luqian struggled and smiled. Seeing Yan Gaoqing holding his hand tightly, he said weakly: "I am satisfied if I can live and see Zhending be saved. Haven't you said that people cannot die? It's enough to die, and I have lived for a long time... ahem."
"Stop talking, stop talking, hurry up, carry Yuan Changshi down."
Yan Gaoqing screamed a few times in panic, but the people around him looked at each other. No one dared to move forward and move Yuan Luqian. Only people ran down to hire a doctor with an opportunity. Anyone could see that Yuan Luqian's injury might be dead if he moved, and no one dared to take such a risk.
The doctor was waiting for his order at the city early, and at this moment, someone called him up. He hurriedly came to Yan Gaoqing, first glanced at Yuan Luqian's extremely serious injury, and then took a slight pulse, and his expression became extremely ugly. In front of Yan Zhenqing, he could only say calmly: "Don't worry, please, Yuan Changshi's injury is very serious, but if he can try to take out the arrow and apply medicine well, it should..."
"Don't say...what should be." Yuan Luqian uttered these words with difficulty, then pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a smile, "I originally planned to... die together. But since... I can die less... one, God... is already... very kind. I will entrust... family to you."
"Stop talking, stop talking, I promise you everything, I promise everything"
Seeing that Yuan Luqian was talking, blood foam had already spit out of his mouth, Yan Gaoqing felt that his whole chest seemed to explode. He did not continue to speak, and he didn't know what to say, but just held this confidant who shared life and death tightly in his arms, tears rolled down from his eyes and fell on Yuan Luqian's cheek.
The doctor on the side did not dare to speak, and the others quietly retreated and continued to look for other survivors in this devastated city.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yan Gaoqing suddenly felt that the hand he was holding tightly seemed to have lost its warmth. He looked at the person in his arms in horror, but found that the eyes had closed forever, and there was a smile on his face that seemed to never be gone.
"Lu Qian, Lu Qian, Lu Qian" Yan Gaoqing's voice sounded like a loud sound, but he never waited for any answer again. He buried his head deeply and let out a low howl of pain.
Why, why is it not me who died
Looking at this scene, there weren't many people on the city that either lowered their heads and shed tears, or covered their faces and cried, and some even threw the rebels' bodies out of the city as if they were venting their anger. However, no matter what they did, the deceased could no longer come back. After experiencing a cruel battle, countless regiments of soldiers were fighting with the rebels who were several times more likely to die. For example, two or three people fought together, and in the end, the rebels' bodies were inseparable from their bodies.
When people dig out a young soldier with a weak breath from the pile of dead people and then woke him up, he looked around in a daze, but he suddenly grabbed the person who saved him, and asked repeatedly: "Where is my brother? Where is my brother?"
Without answering, he saw the bodies carried away beside him. He suddenly realized something and immediately collapsed on the ground and burst into tears. However, he could cry like him and the brothers' robes like Yan Gaoqing, searching the entire Nanmen city, but only a dozen people.
Just in just half a day today, more than 500 people died here in battle, not including the rebels who were corpsing here.
Yan Gaoqing obviously did not recover at this moment, and people did not want to disturb the Changshan prefect who lost his comrades, either transporting the remains, cleaning up the bodies of the rebels, or observing the situation of the war outside the city. In short, there was no word on the top of the city except for the sound of footsteps coming and going, and the sound of horse hooves fighting outside the city. Everyone seemed to be shocked by this flesh-and-blood battlefield and lost their language ability. In addition, the battle outside the city directly affected the fate of Zhending City, which had been standing in the war for more than a month and had just escaped a disaster. No one could distract himself from what to say.
After crying in the dark, Yan Gaoqing finally regained his consciousness as a prefect. He raised his head with difficulty. Seeing that two middle-aged men were already guarding each other, he let go of his hand that had been holding Yuan Luqian's cold body and whispered: "Place Yuan Changshi to the prefect's mansion first and wait for me to go back."
"Yes, please rest assured."
After the two agreed, they quickly carried Yuan Luqian down carefully. At this time, Yan Gaoqing did not care about the bloodstains of pickled membranes on his body, and staggered to the trunk, and then he could see the battlefield below clearly. The banners of Du Shiyi and Pugu Huaien were still flying in the air, and the invincible iron cavalry was still galloping on the battlefield, and the rebels' offensive was obviously far inferior to before, but they had not collapsed.
He has been in Hebei for a long time and knows that Cai Xide is upright among the generals under An Lushan, and has many elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. If possible, he will naturally surrender to the top. Not to mention that Cai Xide attacked Changshan for more than a month and Yuan Luqian died again. There is a deep hatred in the middle. Even in this battle situation, Pu Gu Huai'en only has the upper hand and cannot say that he will win. How can he talk about surrender?
"Come, help me to the war drum on the city tower."
"Eunuch, your wounds..."
"Help me go"
Knowing that Yan Gaoqing was so stubborn and unscrupulous, everyone had to obey orders and supported the Changshan prefect to climb the war drum at the height of the city tower. In those days of the fiercest attack and defense, this war drum was used to alert the enemy to attack in the middle of the night. It was also beaten when the dead soldiers left the city to destroy the chariot. Now, when the battle situation outside the city was in a stalemate, Yan Gaoqing tightly held the drumstick tightly and suddenly raised all his strength to hit the cowhide drum.
Dong--
Dongdong--
The dull voice gradually sounded in the sky, and it seemed low at first, but as we didn't know whether it was a change of people or increased our strength, it gradually overwhelmed the sounds on the battlefield. Pugu Huai'en listened to the voice and defended his position and found that it was the sound of war drums coming from the head of Changshan City. He immediately laughed: "I didn't expect that Yan Gaoqing, a scholar, also knew that drums were beating to boost the morale of the army. The warriors of the Pugu army held on Zhending for more than a month. If our reinforcements were not as good as them, wouldn't it be that Zhending's military and civilians looked down upon? Show all their abilities and fight for me."
"Kill and kill"
With the sound of killing like a covered in the sky, the soldiers and civilians at Zhending City saw Pu Gu Huaien taking the lead and attacking the enemy again with his iron cavalry. Everyone thought of the same scene not long ago. After all, they were father and son, and they were all members of the tribe with blood. The kind of bravery that showed their strength and courage from their bones was indeed heartbreaking.
At this moment, a young man in the southwest corner suddenly shouted: "There are soldiers coming from the west."
Today, I experienced too many changes and turns. Everyone was like a frightened bird. When I heard the sound, I hurriedly looked around. When I saw that there were really soldiers and horses inserted into the battle situation, someone whispered: "God blessed me, I just hope that General Pugu has come back, so don't be a rebel."
It seemed as if God had heard his prayer. When everyone's heart was in his throat, the sudden army suddenly stabbed the rebels in the back of the back of the rebels. Echoing their offensive, two big flags were raised behind the battlefield, one was Pugu, and the other was the big flag of the Hedong Jiedu.
Just now, Yan Gaoqing had just raised his head and handed over the drumsticks that beat the war drums to a stronger man who was stronger than himself. At this moment, he also saw the huge flag clearly, and his heart finally completely let go, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down on his cheeks and fell silently to the ground.
Lu Qian, have you seen it in the sky? The reinforcements from Hedong have also arrived. Changshan has really saved it, but why are you no longer here
Please give me a monthly ticket on the last day of this month, thank you everyone^-^
