Chapter 4 The Courage of Overlords
Luo Shixin's heart was about to jump out of his mouth, so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
He has watched this kind of siege scene on TV for hundreds of times, and has watched hundreds of bloody blockbusters, but no matter how real and terrible the rendered camera is, it cannot match the scene in front of him...
What is fake is fake after all!
But at this moment, the bloody facts that appeared in front of Luo Shixin, were like a fresh life that fell forever before him with his "arrow".
"Be careful, General!"
A cold light flashed, and Luo Shixin's personal guard beside him slashed at the dead soldiers climbing the city who were exposed along the ladder.
The knife was cut from the middle of the head, and the blade was stuck deep in the skull...
The bloody blood and white brain matter soared out, and Luo Shixin's face was blushed. The smell of brain matter and blood instantly filled the entire nasal cavity, and the feeling of nausea and nausea came up again.
Luo Shixin woke up suddenly. This is the real battlefield, either you die or I die...
The meaning of survival overwhelms fear and discomfort!
"Ah!" Roaring, Luo Shixin red eyes, raised his iron spear and smashed it to a dead man who had already reached the top of the city and was standing on the battlement with a wooden shield in his hand.
The dead man who climbed the city reacted very quickly, and the wooden shield was guarding his chest.
"puff!"
The impact of the iron spear and wooden shield made a slight sound, a sound that could not be heard on the battlefield.
It was not that the power was too small, but that the power was too huge and the crushing power could not be supported at all, and it was broken into six or seven pieces as if it was hit by hard paper. The iron spear had not stopped and hit the chest of the dead man in the city. It was like playing golf, and the dead man in the city shot out like a cannonball and fell on the open space fifty meters away.
Luo Shixin's eyes were red. When he saw the soldiers wearing the armor of the Han East Army, he swung his iron spear and smashed them hard. He had no skills, he only relied on pure power. Even so, no one could stop him from the enemy who could defeat him with one force and a force that would be fully reflected in front of him.
************
In the subsequent formation of the Eastern Han Army, an amazing and famous general was sitting leisurely near the river beach and chatting with the soldiers beside him. His name was Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang was from Wuyi, Jizhou, Jizhou, who was brave and powerful, and extremely courageous. At the age of fifteen, he followed his father to fight and first ascend to the trap. He was the adopted son of Liu Heita's confidant Gao Yaxian, who led the most elite siege army of the Eastern Han Army. He was responsible for the fourth wave of offensive, and he would accumulate energy in various ways if he didn't use it for a short time.
"Grandma, why can't such a small city be defeated? We didn't have that much effort to attack Mingzhou." A soldier sighed at the sky-high war drums. There was another one called Handan in Mingzhou called Handan, which was connected to the Taihang Mountains in the west and the North China Plain in the east. It was the economic center of Hebei. The capital of Zhao State was high and thick. At that time, the Tang army was defeated again and again in the face of Liu Heita's army. The fallen flowers and waters were as strong as Mingzhou. Not many people took the siege seriously for the small Mingshui. Seven days ago, their group pointed at the figures on the city and shouted loudly, not so much as watching the show. Seven days later, the same people did not have the heart to watch the show, and they were physically and mentally exhausted: even after a night of rest,
Su Dingfang looked at the city wall and cheered: "Don't worry, compared with the enemy and our army, Mingshui City should be able to move today." He said it relaxed, but he had other ideas in his heart. It was not that he cared about Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin's martial spirit had already experienced it in these seven days and seven nights, but there was nothing to be afraid of except martial spirit.
Although he is young, he has a strategic vision of a famous general. He is not as short-sighted and blind as the soldiers beside him.
If Mingshui City was captured earlier, the Han Eastern Army would still have capital to fight against Li Tang, but what if Mingshui City is captured now?
They were already eight days late. During these eight days, Li Shimin divided his troops to capture Xingzhou and Jingzhou in the north of Mingzhou, and Luo Yi recovered the prefectures and counties in northern Hebei, and completed the strategic intention of encircling the Eastern Han Army. The talented and wise Li Shimin even joined forces with the brave and warlike Luo Yi, with a strong army, with a strong momentum. On the other hand, the Eastern Han Army made a small Mingshui City bit and could not move.
With the right time, place and people, they all tend toward Li Tang. How can this battle continue?
"The city is about to be broken!" A soldier suddenly shouted, pulling Su Dingfang back to his thoughts.
Su Dingfang looked towards Mingshui and saw more than ten dead soldiers climbing the city walls of Mingshui. He knew the situation of Mingshui City as much as he knew. From the beginning, there were only 500 soldiers, but the Han East Army had 30,000 to 40,000. Mingshui City was able to persevere, although Luo Shixin's unparalleled courage was attributed to the wind and snow weather. The wind and snow weather hindered Li Tang's reinforcements, which caused great trouble to the Han East Army that siege the city.
Now the wind and snow stop. After nearly seven days and seven nights of consumption, there are less than a hundred soldiers and horses in the city. They want to defend Mingshui City with little or no miracle.
Su Dingfang no longer paid attention to Mingshui City and focused on his heart: at the same time when the Han East Army ordered the attack on Mingshui City, Li Tang also launched an offensive to rescue Mingshui City on the north bank of Mingshui. It is said that the Tang army was commanded by Li Shimin on the battlefield, and Qin Shubao personally led his troops across the river to break the formation. With such a gorgeous combination, I wonder if the King of Han East could resist it.
"Look!" The sudden screams of the soldiers around him prompted Su Dingfang to turn his head and look around.
Two dead soldiers climbing the city were seen falling from the city with their bloody tails and dancing forehands. Next was the third and fourth... After a few efforts, all the Handong soldiers who rushed up the city wall turned into corpses and were thrown down from the city wall.
The tall, thin but majestic body on the top of the city appeared in Su Dingfang's eyes again, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The courage of the overlord is nothing more than this."
Seeing that the offensive showed signs of weakness, he ran to Wang Xiaohu several times and suggested: "General, there are only a hundred soldiers in the city. If you can persist, it depends on Luo Shixin's personal bravery. One person's strength cannot stop thousands of troops. It is better to send more people to press the city around. Even if Luo Shixin is resurrected, he will be unable to support him."
Wang Xiaohu also felt reasonable and laughed, "I have the intention to let the second and third teams press forward together. I don't believe it anymore. Three thousand people can't take over their hundred." With a finger of the horse whip, the two echelons who had already been on standby began to gather at Mingshui City.
The army of two thousand people seemed to be majestic in front of the small city of Mingshui.
Luo Shixin found the feeling of being invincible in the dead soldiers who climbed the city one by one. He became more and more courageous. He rushed and killed fiercely, which once again boosted the morale of the Tang army.
The Tang army was well-trained and motivated by morale. Without his orders, he spontaneously put down the rolling wood and rocks, and used a stern-rejection pole to push the cloud ladder down, and stubbornly supported the first level.
