Chapter 634 The demise of Tuyuhun (2)
When the tenth day of the battle came, some children and women began to appear around Duan Zan. The children and women carried hot water and fell from above when the enemy attacked the city, and tried their best to block the Tuyuhun people's attack.
But these are useless. There are too many enemy troops outside. Under the wheel battle, Liangzhou City, which had been persisting for ten days, has reached its limit.
The city was full of wounded people, and their shrill screams were endless all night. Even if they stood above the city, they would be awakened by these screams in the middle of the night.
The men were almost dead, and Yu Wenshiji was seriously injured. Fu Yun probably thought that the strategy of surrounding the three que 1 was not effective. Now he has begun to attack the city at the same time from all sides, which is clearly one of the manifestations of the slaughter of the city.
Duan Zan would often look into the direction of reinforcements during the battle. The damn Tuyuhun people, at the beginning, were vacated with the city gate to the west, but the Tang Dynasty was in the east. These guys clearly did not think about the people in the city living.
Duan Zan's thoughts were very confused. He thought about reinforcements and then how the enemy would attack. He had lost the calm he deserved.
"Young Master, Liangzhou can't be defended anymore. I'll recruit people and let's break through!" A guard sent by his father leaned against Duan Zan and lowered his voice and said.
"Breakthrough?" Duan Zan snorted coldly, pointed to the outside and said, "How many people are there in total? Can you fight out of so many people?"
"How can I know if I don't try it? And I think the general must have been close to Liangzhou long ago, but I don't know why, so as long as we stick out, reinforcements will definitely come to pick us up." The guard continued to persuade Duan Zan.
Xiao Duan is Duan Zhixuan's only son. If a life is thrown on the battlefield, Lao Duan will probably go crazy.
"Stop talking. After so many days of guarding and so many brothers died, how could I just leave like this?" Duan Zan looked at the crowd outside the city that was not surging, and slowly pulled out his curled sword: "The Duan family has never retreated in the last days. Whether it is life or death, Duan will live and die with Liangzhou!"
The guard nodded silently. His persuasion to Duan Zan was to do his best to do his best. If Xiao Duan wanted to leave, then it might not be a big problem to gather Zuo Xiao Guards who could still move in the city to rush out, but it is unknown whether Duan Guo can chase him after going out.
After all, the reinforcements outside are still silent until now. I don’t know if they have not arrived or are ambushed, but they may not be able to encounter them even if they rush around aimlessly.
However, compared to the guard's entanglement, Xiao Duan Dao was very open-minded and patted him on the chest with a knife: "Don't think about those who are there or not, the Tuyuhun people are coming up again, prepare to fight to the death."
"Here! Please be more careful, my son, I'm going!" The guard nodded heavily and turned around and left.
At this time of the war, there were not many three thousand vanguards of Zuo Xiaogu, so any veteran was particularly precious. Each of them had a piece of city wall that they had to be responsible for, and even a small piece of guard was no exception.
The battle of the thirteenth day broke out again at dawn. Tuyuhun people rushed over from all directions like a tide. It seemed that they were going to roll down the entire city.
Looking at the enemy troops that were surging several times more than two days ago, a desperate feeling rose in Duan Zan's heart. He grabbed someone beside him, and regardless of whether he knew him or not, he directly ordered: "Where are the people from the intelligence department? Let them send a signal, Liangzhou City vows to fight to the death with Tuyuhun!"
Afterwards, someone asked Duan Zan what he was feeling at that time, or what he was thinking at that time.
The small dictionary only leaves four words: Your uncle!
In short, the situation was indeed critical at that time. When the city was defended for thirteen days, eight thousand soldiers were either killed or injured, but the number of soldiers was less than five hundred. It was completely a dream to rely on some ordinary people alone to defend the city.
However, Duan Zan's signal was not sent out in the end, because as soon as his order was sent out, he had already seen smoke and dust rising from behind the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun's troops in the southwest of Liangzhou City. The Tuyuhun people who were launching the attack also began to fall into chaos little by little, running around like headless flies.
Comrade Duan still didn't watch his son survive and die together with Liangzhou. At the last moment, he couldn't help but arrange his army to explode Fu Yun's chrysanthemum from behind.
Amid the sound of killing, the sound of horse hooves roared. The Tuyuhun soldiers, who were originally cavalry, all had infantry battles because they needed to siege the city, and their mounts had long been put aside. Now, facing the Tang cavalry with red eyes and murderous intentions, there was no ability to resist, and escaping became their only choice.
The nation on the horse's back is no different from the grass chicken after getting off the horse. They never knew how to deal with cavalry in infantry battles. They were chased by Zuo Xiaowei and chased by heaven like a rabbit, and had no way to enter the ground.
Finally, Fu Yun came forward to mobilize his troops to meet Zuo Xiaogu and suppress Zuo Xiaogu's offensive. This gave Fu Shun the opportunity to gather his subordinates who ran all over the mountains and fields.
The siege of Liangzhou was lifted the moment the Zuo Xiaogu appeared. Although the well-equipped 16 guards had only more than 20,000 combat soldiers, if the auxiliary troops were added, there would be more than 50,000 people.
Moreover, the 50,000 people were resting for half a month, both in a hurry and energy, and they were not comparable to those tens of thousands of Tuyuhun’s wrecked dogs.
Duan Zan leaned weakly on the top of the city, watching the old man below waving the flag in the wind, unable to tell what it felt.
The joy of surviving the disaster? No, when he recalled this passage, he admitted frankly that his mind was blank at that time, with no joy or sorrow, and only a kind of relief.
He stayed on the east wall of Liangzhou City for thirteen days, and now he can finally go down.
There was no cheer or excitement in Liangzhou City. There was only crying. Every family built a spiritual platform and every household hung a spiritual banner. This was the true portrayal of the city at that time.
Liangzhou City, including the people who fled from each county, had a total of 30,000 to 40,000, but after this battle, it dropped by about one-fifth, which is not considered to be some people who are disabled.
Duan Zan, who came down from the city, was numb. Looking at the crying people, he didn't know how to comfort him. In thirteen days, there were no less than hundreds of Zuo Xiaowei brothers who he personally sent away, and the repeated pains made him forget some.
There is only one thought in his mind. The government office looked at his injured brothers and told them: I am going to avenge you!
