Chapter 168: The city breaks

The red flag drew a dazzling arc in the fire, and overturned a centurion.

The sharp knife edge was pulled from the centurion's chest and abdomen, so that the other party's upper body flew off the top of the city, but the lower body was still standing on the city. Blood mixed with organs splashed Liu Kan all over. Liu Kan seemed to be unaware of it, and stepped forward as if he had stepped into the air, hiding his body behind the copper shield, and suddenly knocked a Xiongnu soldier who had just climbed up to the city and flew out fiercely.

"Old Qin, we will go to the national crisis together... the bloody battle will end, and we will never return to death!"

Every time someone was killed, Liu Kan would hiss and roar. The old Qin soldiers in the city became extremely crazy by the impact of the killing.

Two Hun soldiers rushed up the city wall, and saw an old Qin man lying in a pool of blood suddenly bounced up from the ground, shouting "Rank Old Qin, go to the national crisis together." He hugged one of the Huns and fell head-on to the city. The city wall, which was more than three meters high, was about seven or eight meters high. The heel of the city wall was inserted into the heel. After falling down, his body was penetrated by the caltrops. The result can be imagined.

Lu Shizhi's feet slipped and almost fell to the ground.

But he was arrested by Mausou and shouted loudly: "Stand up straight and hold the big star. If you don't have a big star, you won't die!"

Lu Shizhi looked like a madman, with blood stains on his face, but he didn't wipe it. He responded loudly: "The big flag will not fall, and the old sword will not die!"

The Iron Sword fiercely cut down a Hun in a pool of blood.

This is a tragic battle where either you die or I live.

The attacks of the Huns lasted all night, and at dawn, they finally stopped.

Ali Shi's troops attacked the Fuping city three times and were beaten three times. After paying an extremely painful price, both sides had to stop temporarily. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the Fuping city, the entire city was shrouded in a bloody light. Blood flowed down the gap, and the earth-gray city walls have now turned dark red, particularly weird.

"Four hundred and twenty-three people!"

When Li Cheng and Chen Daozi reported the number of casualties, everyone became silent.

This number does not include the soldiers who fell off the city. If added, the number of casualties will exceed 500, close to 600.

Today is the seventh day!

But the casualties in just one early morning almost exceeded the total of the previous six days.

The biggest problem facing Fuping City now is that after the large amount of arrows is consumed, there are not many left. Many archers have to abandon their hard bows and take up swords and guns to fight in close combat. There is no way, who has consumed too many arrows at the beginning?

You can't blame the archers.

Many people picked up bows and arrows temporarily, and even faced such a war scene for the first time, the arrows were almost blindly shot.

Now, although the archers are mature, they are arrows...

"How many casualties were there in the Huns?"

"At least 1,300 corpses in the city are almost 400, and the numbers outside the city are definitely not enough."

Including the dead Huns before, at least six or seven thousand Huns died in Fuping City.

Li Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "If this is a field battle, the military marquis would have to be at least two levels... Haha, even in a defensive battle, it would be a military merit. There are tens of thousands of Huns outside the city. When the end, I think the military marquis can still be the leader of Zuo Shu."

This teasing word really relieved the dull atmosphere.

Everyone knows that if there were no reinforcements, I am afraid that Fuping will not last for three days.

Mengjimuk lowered his head and kept silent.

Nan Rongxiu said: "Mr. Junhou, this is a matter of time, and reinforcements are almost here."

I'm afraid there are no reinforcements!

Liu Kan shouted in his heart, but he had to make a relaxed attitude on his face. He was the backbone of Fuping City. If even he was discouraged, Fuping could not defend him for a day. His eyes swept over everyone around him, and Liu Kan said, "Mr. Ping will not ignore us, General will definitely send reinforcements to us... You see, the brothers of Meng Junhou are also here, how could the General ignore him?

The reason why reinforcements have not appeared until now is that the General has his plans.

We just need to protect Fuping well, and we don’t have to think too much about the rest... In my opinion, reinforcements will definitely appear at most three days."

Even Liu Kan himself doesn't believe this kind of thing.

When he mentioned the Meng brothers, Monk trembled slightly.

Meng Ji said carelessly: "Junhou said it well. If the old man didn't send reinforcements, my mother would definitely not forgive him."

Everyone laughed in unison when they heard this.

Liu Kan quietly walked out of the military tent, stood outside the military tent, and took a few deep breaths. She was so vicious that even the breath she exhaled was filled with a smell of blood.

"Marquis Liu Jun!"

Liu Kan did not look back. Now in Fuping City, there are three military marquis, including him. Among them, Nan Rongxiu has regarded him as the main person, only called "junhou" without adding a surname. There is only one person who calls him "Liu Junhou", and that is Munch. So Liu Kan doesn't have to look back at all, and he knows that Munch is here.

Monk no longer has the elegance of the past, his beard is unshaven and looks decadent.

He walked to Liu Kan and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But when he was at his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"There are no reinforcements, right?"

Monk trembled and made no sound.

"I saw it, Cheng Sima saw it, and Daozi also saw it... Your brother is straight and his head doesn't turn. As for you, I believe you discovered this only after you arrived in Fuping, right? The war has reached this point, you understand, and I understand... You and I know the truth that ci is not in charge of soldiers. But it is too difficult to do it."

Monk said: "Liu Junhou, don't blame my father, he..."

Liu Kan waved his hand and pretended to be careless and smiled: "I don't blame him, why would I blame him... I'm so vicious, I don't blame him, can I blame myself?"

He wanted to show his demeanor, but the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He turned around and grabbed Monk's arm, roared in a stern voice: "I don't care about life and death, but what about these people?

Those who serve as soldiers will defend their country and will have no regrets even if they die.

When I put on this black skin, I was ready to die. But these people, they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for reinforcements. They would rather eat less than let us eat enough. In order to win, they could send their children to the top of the city... But what did they get? When taxes were collected, they thought of them; when corvee was recruited, they thought of them.

But now, they kicked them away...

No matter what kind of shit win, I just want to know how I will face their questioning after I die!”

At the end, Liu Kan's face was distorted and hideous.

He knew very well that a general had achieved success and had thousands of bones woven. But when he really faced such a thing, he could not accept it.

What's more, he is just a discarded piece!

Mengke covered Liu Kan's mouth, "June, be careful of your words!"

"Okay, let go of your hand, I've calmed down..."

Liu Kan also knew that the words he said just now were a bit rude. But these words were accumulated in his heart, and if he didn't say them out, he would suffocate him to death. He could ignore the enemies and fall in front of him one by one, but he could not ignore them, and the people around him fell one by one.

Thousands of people...

If we add the two thousand people brought by Mengji and one thousand people brought by Mengk, there will be nearly ten thousand people in Fuping City.

The lives of nearly 10,000 people were abandoned as bait. Although they lived in this era for many years, Liu Kan still could not accept this indifference. In his opinion, he was betrayed, betrayed by Meng Tian, ​​and betrayed by the Qin Empire.

Cover your face with both hands and rub it hard.

After a moment, he whispered: "There are no reinforcements, we can only rely on ourselves now. I cannot abandon the people in this city, they should not die... I guess Fuping will not last for a few days. Just now, Cheng Sima told me privately that there are several sections of the city walls in the East City, and they have loosened. I guess that there are such situations on the other walls. What we need to do now is how to cover the people in the city evacuation."

"What's the idea of ​​the Junhou?"

Liu Kan rubbed his nose, "I have been observing these two days. Fuping was surrounded by all sides, but relatively speaking, Qiu Fuyou's troops in the south should be the weakest. There is a big river blocking the west of the city; in the north of the city, it is difficult to break through if it has to face the elite of Alishi."

Monk nodded, "Breaking through the east of Fuping, as long as you can rush over, Ziwu Ridge is thirty miles away. When we enter Ziwu Ridge, we will have a glimmer of hope. I have been observing the people in the east of Fuping, the main general is Nangzhiyasi, and the official is the right Dadanggu. He was originally a confidant of Tu Qi, but he did not seem to be very interested in Ali Shi. He has relatively weak combat power and may be able to break through."

Liu Kan patted her forehead lightly.

"Don't worry, it's best to discuss this matter with everyone... This way, you lead the army to quietly organize the people, and take away all the things you can take away. You will discuss this matter with Sima Cheng. Once we decide, we will act more quickly."

Monk responded and did not speak again.

The two stood side by side for a while and then separated.

Liu Kan climbed the city tower alone and saw Fan Kuai and Tutu, clearing the road on the city.

Lu Shizhi was walking his horse under the city. Unfortunately, this good horse had almost no chance to play in this defensive battle.

Liu Kan sighed and came to the station in front of the battlement entrance.

"Mr. Marquis!"

Tu Tu came over and saluted Liu Kan.

"Is there any movement in the Huns?"

Tu Tu shook his head and said, "It's really weird. He beat him so fiercely at night, but after dawn, there was no movement. I don't know if these Hu Man's stomach was damaged. He had no movement for the whole afternoon... Haha, maybe he was tired too."

"Tired?"

Liu Kan doesn't think so.

Over the past seven days, he had seen the methods of the Huns. These guys had strong learning ability and were by no means barbarians as later generations called them. On the contrary, the Huns knew very well how to fight and would constantly adjust in the war to find the best solution.

Squinted his eyes, Liu Kan looked at the Huns camp in the distance.

"Look at me a little bit." He whispered: "Hu Manzi is very good at fighting. He attacked so much the previous two days, but suddenly he became quiet. There must be a conspiracy... By the way, let's continue to give everyone a quick time to rest. Maybe there will be a series of fierce battles."

"I understand!"

Although Mausou is very reckless and even a little bit miscellaneous, he is a straightforward person.

At the beginning, he was indeed dissatisfied with Liu Kan. But after this series of fierce battles, Tu Tu was completely convinced by Liu Kan.

Once such a person is convinced, he will be devoted to his heart.
To be continued...
