Chapter 118

Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers came from the horizon like a tide. From a distance, they looked like a large black cloud, rushing straight towards Pingwu.

Everyone will be frightened when they see this kind of scene. It’s better for the soldiers to join the army. After all, they have received regular training. Ordinary people are different. Many people are so scared that they fall to the ground without even realizing the stones in their hands.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Sun Rubai saw it. What the general had to do at this time was of course to inspire fighting spirit: "Although there are many Hu people, everyone sees that they are all cavalry. The cavalry plunders and outbreaks are powerful, but it is impossible to attack the city. Don't be afraid."

Sun Rubai said it right. Light cavalry wins high mobility, but if a war is siege, it will be detrimental to the cavalry. The defender hides in the tall and thick city walls. No matter how fast the cavalry is, can he still crash into the city walls?

But despite this, the pressure to defend the city is still quite large. There are only about 10,000 military and civilians in the city, and many of them have not received formal military training at all, and are all civilians who have temporarily voluntarily participated.

Moreover, the Hu people are not fools after all, they will ride horses to attack the city.

In fact, the general led by the opponent was a general under Yao Shuode, former general Lu Hao. He has always had great military achievements. Just say that Yao Qin sent troops to capture six counties this time, and his former general's military achievements were second to none.

Now that we want to siege the city, there are certainly no complex siege weapons, but they are still prepared for necessary and simple siege equipment, such as ladders and car crashes.

For the defender, the most advantageous weapon is bows and arrows.

In the distance in front of the city, there were already long rows of arrows on the ground. They were ordered by Sun Rubai to shoot them out before the war for positioning. Now, seeing the Hu people returning from a distance, Sun Rubai shouted loudly: "Rise the bow!"

All soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands held the bow high above their heads.

Seeing the Hu people step in a little more, Sun Rubai raised his right hand and shouted again: "Take an arrow!"

There was a sound of arrows slashing in unison, and all the soldiers bowed like a full moon.

Seeing that the Hu people had rushed to the distance to the arrows positioned in the distance, this indicated that the Hu people had entered the range. Sun Rubai waited for a moment, and waited for the Hu people's soldiers to pass through the straight line where the arrows were located. Sun Rubai waved his hand violently: "Shoot!"

Countless arrows shot out, and the Hu people who rushed on the horse in the distance were all dismissed.

However, such arrows can only kill some of the Hu people as much as possible, and cannot stop the Hu people from rushing under the city wall. After only two or three rounds, the Hu people had already rushed under the city wall. Sun Rubai had already seen a car crash and pushed it out from the Hu people's army and headed straight for the city gate.

Pingwu was originally a small city, but his victory was that it was a city that was taller and thicker because it was a city. But after all, it was a small city, and the city gate was his weakness.

Therefore, the key to offensive and defensive battles is to defend the city gate.

At this time, the Hu people were ready to use a car crash to hit the city gate. How could Sun Rubai not be anxious? He quickly ordered: "Pull the infantry that hit the car quickly!"

If an infantry wants to become a cavalry, it will take a long time to practice to be able to control the war horses freely and obey orders. On the contrary, if a cavalry wants to become an infantry, it only needs to be as simple as the war horses.

At Sun Rubai's order, the archers aimed at the people near the crash and shot, and the people in the city raised stones and smashed them down the city.

Sun Rubai knew how to shoot arrows, and of course the Hu people knew, but because the guardian stood on the high city tower, they could shoot Hu people in the distance and the Hu people could not shoot them. Now they had rushed under the city wall, and the cavalry in the distance also shot up the city tower with bows: arrows were raised.

There were countless arrows. When many soldiers and civilians shot arrows or threw stones at the city, they were shot by a runaway arrow as soon as they exposed the battlements and fell high from the city tower.

Those who fall down will not be killed by the fall or will be trampled to death by the rioters. There will never be any life left.

Seeing the city of arrows tug of war, Sun Rubai quickly got off the city tower and came to the city gate. In fact, what he was most worried about now was the Hu people's car crash. Pingwu's city gate was not very thick. If he let the car crash like this, there would be no need to go too much, and the city gate would inevitably be broken.

If the city gate is broken, it will inevitably not be able to stop the Hu people from rushing into the city. As long as the Hu people rush into the city, the battle will be over.

"Suppress the city gate!" Sun Rubai shouted loudly, rushed to the city gate and used his body to resist the collision of a car outside the city gate. He set an example and guarded the city gate all came up to block the city gate, so that it would not be hit by a car.

The war was extremely fierce, and the city was several feet high. At this time, the Hu people had already set up a ladder. Countless Hu soldiers climbed up to the top of the city. The cavalry in the distance all pulled their bows and shot at the city wall to cover the troops climbing the ladder to attack the city.

Although the guarding city stands high above the city wall and takes advantage of the geographical advantage, it can be defeated by many people. Whether it is throwing stones or shooting arrows, as long as the walls are exposed, they will be accidentally penetrated by arrows.

However, everyone knows that if the Hu people attacked the city, it would be a dead end. It would be better to die by fighting now. Therefore, despite the suppression of the Hu people, the soldiers and civilians in Pingwu City were also fearless.

The military and civilians in the city held the city gate together with Sun Rubai, and it was difficult to get the city gate when rushing to the car in the rain of arrows, which made the Hu general Sun Hao a little angry.

Sun Hao did not expect that these southerners who were surrounded in the city would have such a tenacious resistance after a few days of water cut off.

The residents of Pingwu City fought to the death and finally resisted the Hu people's attack. A "um" sounded and the Hu people retreated.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were all happy, but only Sun Rubai couldn't laugh. He knew that the Hu people would not retreat like this. They were waiting for the soldiers and civilians in the city to be short of water and food, and when they had no resistance, they came to attack the city. Moreover, after defending the city, many soldiers and civilians died in the city. How could they defend it when the Hu people came to attack the city again?

Sun Rubai guessed well, and Sun Hao temporarily withdrew his troops out of such considerations.

Sun Hao was Yao Shuode's former general. This time he climbed over the mountains to attack Pingwu, and he only brought 50,000 cavalry. Yao Shuode's plan was to make him siege without attacking, cut off his water source, and wait for him to be in chaos. Yao Shuode led his own army to block the reinforcements coming to rescue.

Sun Hao did this, and cut off the water source of Pingwu and beat drums to attack after a while. Originally, he thought that the city had been cut off for several days, but he might have lost the ability to resist. Pingwu was at his fingertips, which was another contribution, but he did not expect that now, the military and civilians in the city still had such a tenacious resistance.

Since you still have the power to resist, I might as well wait for two more days. When you are thirsty and tired and not strong enough to pick up weapons, I think what else can you do!

As soon as the Hu people retreated, they did not come to attack the city for another two days, but the situation in the city became more and more serious, and many people fainted due to lack of water.

Sun Rubai's lips had long since fallen off. Now he was having a headache on the city wall. Reinforcements did not come and Pingwu's siege was unresolved. Perhaps in the past two days, the military and civilians in the city would never be able to hold on.

Sun Rubai was still thinking that his deputy general had already rushed up to the city tower in a hurry: "Where is the general? Where is the general?"

Li Zhiyuan saw Sun Rubai leaning against the wall. The deputy general quickly shouted loudly: "General! There is water! Finally there is water!"

Sun Rubai was overjoyed and jumped up to meet him: "Is there really water? Are you lying to me?"

"General, how dare the last general joke about such a thing? The military and civilians dug the ground day and night these days, and now there is finally water!"

When Sun Rubai heard this, he rushed down the city tower and came to the place where he dug the ground in the city. It had long been dug into a big and deep pit. A soldier was carrying a big wooden barrel in his hand, filled with a bucket of water, and there was only mud in the water, but the people around him did not take into account these things, and they all crawled beside the bucket and drank hard.

If there is no more water, no one in the city can support the soldiers, civilians, etc., and now the Jedi is alive, it is no wonder that Sun Rubai laughs to the sky: "If the heaven does not destroy, I will pacify Wu, I will pacify Wu!"

"It's just that there is not much water coming from the ground. Now we need to take water for a whole day to drink it all over the city." The deputy general said.

"Dig deeper, dig deeper." Sun Rubai was so happy that he was already a little incoherent.

Just when Sun Rubai was still happy, a hoarse shout on the city tower seemed to give Sun Rubai a blow: "The Hu people are here to attack the city again!"

"What!" Sun Rubai was still full of joy just now, but now his heart suddenly became tight.

Why did the Hu people come to attack the city at this time? Just wait for a day, no, it would be fine for half a day, and the soldiers and civilians in the city could drink water.

But just now the water was dug out, and the Hu people came to attack the city. The people in the city are now seriously short of water. Could it be that the digging of water in the sky and the earth failed?

Of course, Sun Hao, the general of the Hu people, did not know that water was dug in the city. He just expected that two more days would be after siege at this time, and the people in the city would have no power to resist.

He guessed right. Now countless soldiers and civilians in the city fainted due to lack of water, and those who did not faint had no energy. How could they resist the Hu people's strong attack?

The soldiers and civilians on the city also knew that this time, seeing the Hu people rushing over from the sky like a tide, no one was ready to pull the bow, and they all gave up resisting.

I knew reinforcements would not come at all. Sun Rubai sighed in his heart, but he still had to play the role that a general should have - that is to inspire morale.

Sun Rubai shouted in a hoarse voice to the soldiers and people on the city wall: "Pingwu is the last barrier to the plain in Shuzhong! We lack food and water, and we have been in this small city for many days, but no one comes to help. We are worthy of Shuzhong, the people in Shuzhong, and ourselves.: If you die, you must die while standing! Even if Pingwu breaks the city now, we will swear to live and die with Pingwu!"

"Swear to live and die with Pingwu!"

"Swear to live and die with Pingwu!"

"Swear to live and die with Pingwu!"

...

Although the soldiers and people on the city were all out of energy, they all repeated this sentence with a hoarse voice after hearing what Sun Rubai said.

"Okay!" Sun Rubai suddenly drew his sword in his hand: "Then let's fight for Pingwu for the last time!"

The soldiers and people on the city were gasping for fighting spirit again. General Sun said well, "Die, you must die while standing!"

Just as Sun Rubai was passionately on the top of the city, the Hu people had already rushed to the city. At this time, the deputy general suddenly shouted happily: "Look at General, our reinforcements are here!"

Although Sun Rubai didn't believe it, he heard the deputy general's shout and looked in the direction pointed by the deputy general. A group of countless people suddenly broke out from the horizon in the distance, directly attacking the rear of the Hu people and fighting with the Hu people.
