Chapter 117 The future
The torches on the top of the city have been extinguished, but this does not hinder the fight.
Fierce battles were everywhere under the dark green light, and long ladders were hung on the city walls, and densely packed Xiliang soldiers were still climbing up, just like ants that were endless, covering the entire city.
A general held a long sword in his hand and slashed at the enemy who rushed up the city wall.
With a clang, the Xiliang soldiers who jumped up slashed the long sword horizontally and collided with the general's sword. The Xiliang soldiers were strong and fierce. They slashed with one sword to make the general take two steps back. Taking advantage of this retreat, the Xiliang soldiers had already chased and chopped down with another sword.
With a thunderous sound, a long spear pierced the Xiliang soldier from behind. He fell down with a scream, and the long sword in his hand was still slashing.
The general kicked his long sword away with hatred and looked at the soldiers surrounding him.
"Don't bother me." He shouted, "I can't live even if I die." After that, he lifted his sword and slashed him again. Then the soldiers fought and screamed in the city.
Such a fight has lasted for a long time, and all the soldiers seemed to be tireless. The people of Xiliang rushed to the top of the city several times and were killed.
But victory is far away... to the point where the generals and officials fight together, the last line of defense is about to collapse.
The horn of the attack of the Xiliang people continued. In addition to the city wall, the city gate also began to be hit and made loud noises...
"Boundists, shoot them to death." The other general roared.
The crossbowman fighting fiercely on the top of the city had to run to the city gate again...
A sudden withdrawal of the formation opened a gap on the city, and a dozen Xiliang soldiers suddenly flipped up...
The personal guards around him continued to decrease, and the flag behind him was shaking, and he cut over a Xiliang soldier from the long sword in his hand, but the long sword was not pulled out in time... After all, his strength was insufficient. After seeing two more Xiliang soldiers turning up from the corner of his eyes, he raised the sickle in his hand with a grim smile...
This time it was about to end. Jiang Guan thought about what he should think, but his mind was filled with tumultuous thoughts. He had nothing to look back on his life, and he was reluctant to give up pain and fear.
At this moment, the sound of the whimpering horns at the city suddenly changed, and the tone was elongated and rapid... The Xiliang soldiers who had just turned up were stunned. Taking advantage of this moment, the personal soldiers rushed over to cut the two of them away and protected the unarmed general.
The general seemed to have not come back to his senses, and looked a little surprised: "Retreat the Soldier?"
The Xiliang soldiers who climbed up the wall were also stunned. Looking at the Dazhou soldiers gathered back together, they finally climbed down the city wall. It was not easy to climb up the city wall, nor was it easy to get down the city wall, but there was still hope to survive after retreating. If there were no reinforcements, there was only a dead end.
For a moment, the city walls were densely filled with retreating Xiliang soldiers, and they fell down with round wood, stones, bows and crossbows.
The generals ignored the retreating Xiliang soldiers, but looked into the distance.
"Why did you retreat?" he said, looking at the Xiliang soldiers gathered in the distance, which were originally gathered in the sky, and retreated like a tide. "Is reinforcements coming? Have you broken through the retreat of the Xiliang people?"
"Sir, reinforcements are coming!" a personal soldier shouted and pointed his finger further away.
The people on the city wall looked at the place in the dark green light, as if a knife fell from the air, soldiers and horses galloped, sheng flags fluttered, dust and smoke rolled, and wherever they passed was like a storm.
"It's Suide Army."
"And Jin'an Army."
The soldier who had already had excellent eyesight shouted loudly when he saw the military flag clearly.
It was reinforcements, but it seemed that there were not many people, but it was already very powerful to retreat Xiliang. Regardless of the future, at least for now, everyone saved their lives and the city, and cheered on the city walls for the survivors of the disaster.
The general also breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he was slightly surprised: "But, that general flag..."
"Bor" said a soldier, "Is this the general in the Sui and Jin armies?"
Maybe the position is not high. The famous generals and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are well-known, but I have never seen this surname.
After he finished speaking, a murmur came from behind him.
"No."
The soldier looked back and saw that it was an older soldier, and he also looked ahead.
"That's the five-worm flag." He said, "It's the five-worm flag!"
He suddenly burst into tears when he said this.
The veteran, who had just fought with pain and tears, squatted on the ground and covered his face with his hands and cried like a child.
The people around were stunned.
"We are saved and we are safe."
The soldier squatted on the ground and cried.
"We all knew back then that the five-beast flag was revealed and the road to life was open."
......
......
"I haven't seen this flag."
A general with an excited expression in the main tent of the King of Xiliang shouted.
"Because all those who have seen this flag are dead."
What, are you crazy?
"So, Master Ye Li, were you so scared by a flag that you ran away without fighting?" A general jumped up and shouted, "You are really a shame to us Xiliang people!"
"Your Highness, kill him in front of the formation!" another general shouted angrily.
"I didn't. I fought. They broke my retreat. I realized that it was him and I retreated!" Yelizhu raised his hand and shouted, "Twenty years ago, as long as the flag appeared, our warriors would have a dead end."
"Master Ye Li, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I've never heard of it!"
"The only one who can make our warriors die is Qin Tan Gong's handsome flag!"
"Master Yeli, you are afraid that your soldiers will be killed or injured too much, so you violate the king's orders!"
There was a rumor of disputes in the tent, and Suo Shengxuan waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Is this actually happening?" he said, looking curious, "Why have I never heard of it?"
Lord Yeli said: "Your Highness, twenty years ago, they were vanguards, and wherever they passed, they were killed, and all the pursuers were killed, so not many people knew about it, because at that time, Duke Qin Tan was in charge of the army, and everyone only thought it was under Duke Qin Tan."
"My grandfather was a pioneer at the time and had fought with them. He learned from the few survivors that this military horse seemed to obey Duke Qin Tan, but he never appeared on the front, so everyone didn't care."
When Lord Nori said this, he knelt down and saluted again.
"Your Highness, my grandfather once tried to find this army, but never found it. I told me that if I see it, I must be careful not to be careless."
"Your Highness, you can ask the king, he may know about this."
After listening to him, the general in the tent didn't feel anything at all, and his expression became even more annoyed.
"So, Master Yeli, you were actually scared by your grandfather's story!"
"Yilizhu, are you still a baby with milk?"
"Even the baby who eats milk is more courageous than him."
There was a quarrel in the tent again, and Suo Shengxuan stopped them and turned to look at Qin Mei.
"Qianniang, do you know the general of this worm army?" he asked.
Qin Mei closed her eyes and a street appeared in front of her. The fighting crowd gradually gathered and then walked over with the villain. Finally, the eyes in her mind fell on a tall figure.
"See you once." He said lightly, "Not really, I'm not worthy of fighting with me."
Suo Shengxuan laughed and said, "How many people can you fight against Qi Niang in the world?"
Qin Mei opened her eyes and said, "No!"
Suo Shengxuan nodded quickly and turned to look at the people in the tent, with bright eyes and said, "There are actually powerful people besides Qin Tan Gong." He stood up, "Then we need to see each other this time."
.....
.....
The cracked city gate opened, and teams of soldiers ran out of the city, chasing the retreating Xiliang soldiers and greeting reinforcements at the same time.
The troops and horses of Xiliang disappeared in front of the city gate, and the two armies finally met.
Looking at the dense sheng flags, the generals and officials in Pingyao City all dismounted.
"I wonder which adult came to help." They said, and even though they said that, their eyes had already fallen on the high flag of generals in the army.
This time the general's flag did not leave, and this time the soldiers and horses in front of him made way aside. A man walked forward slowly and stood in front of the officers and soldiers.
"I'm Du."
