Chapter 127
After daylight.

Outside the city, in the enemy army formation.

Lun Zanqin, in his early forties, with a thick black pancake face and a few braids on his head, was dressed in a sheep jacket with a right lapel and half of the sleeve on his left arm. He was riding on a plateau horse, watching the army The wreckage of the siege equipment in the rear of the formation was completely unexpected. In just five or six days, the reinforcements from the Great Zhou rushed over.

This was a full three days earlier than he expected the earliest reinforcements to arrive!
"Su Lie, I underestimated you, you are really amazing!"

Looking at the bearded, white-haired, tall and straight veteran standing at the top of the city, Lun Zanqin couldn't help but feel that he is indeed the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he is a veteran in his 70s, he is still so sophisticated in using troops.

"but……"

His eyes turned cold, and he murmured: "Do you think I will give up like this?! This time, I brought 13 soldiers and horses. In order to take down this stone city, our army has suffered casualties within five days." [-], even if there are tens of thousands of casualties, we must take back the Tupan Stone City from your hands!"

For 30 years, since the loss of the strategic point of Stone City, the Western Regions, Turpan Kingdom has been firmly suppressed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its influence has been firmly restricted to this plateau area, unable to expand externally. The west and south sides of the city are surrounded by high mountains. The Gobi desert in the north and the fertile land in the east are all in the hands of Da Zhou. From a geostrategic point of view, Da Zhou has almost become the only direction for Turpan to expand its territory.

Dazhou has never regarded Turpan as a "friendly neighbor". Even though the two countries have made peace several times, Dazhou has launched many active attacks in various directions on the border between the two countries over the years, building and controlling hundreds of strategic The main point is to almost completely cut off Tupan's fantasy of cutting flesh and bloodletting and plundering Da Zhou.

Of course Tupan is not reconciled to eternity, living in the cold and desolate snow-capped mountain plateau, honestly staying at home to develop, warm land, magnificent city, gorgeous humanities... The upper class nobles of Tupan Kingdom envy and envy, Who wouldn't want to have a treat?
In addition, the Zhou people could not survive on the plateau, and the Zhou army was unable to reach the plateau. Turpan, who was almost invincible, even if he lost seven draws, two wins and one victory in the war between the two countries, it was nothing more than a loss of soldiers and slaves. The huge gains after defeating the Great Zhou together, and any war risks and losses are worth bearing!

"kill!"

"Kill!"

"If you kill one Zhou man, you will be released from slave status immediately. If you kill two Zhou men, you will reward a slave and a female slave, and you will be promoted to ten husbands!"

"Kill all the Zhou people, and rob all the Western Regions!"

After Dazhou reinforcements entered Stone City, the offensive of the Tupan army did not decrease at all. On the contrary, in the army of [-]% slaves, they promised various rewards. The morale of the Tupan army soared, and the slaves who saw hope, Terrible fighting power erupted.

The small stone city, under the attack of [-] times the overwhelming enemy forces, is like a small rock in the wind and waves, and there is a risk of being crushed into powder at any time...

"kill!"

"Drive the enemy down!"

"The stone, the stone is used up, is there any stone in the arsenal?"

"Someone is climbing up here, it's almost unstoppable!"

"Kill!", "Ah!", "Ah..."

At the top of the stone city, the female walls, bricks, and steps were stained with countless bloodstains, screaming one after another, climbing up the stairs, and the Turpan soldiers who climbed to the top of the city had a tragic hand-to-hand fight with the defenders.

Because of fighting in a plateau low-oxygen area, and after five days of rapid marching, the exhausted Zhou soldiers could only exert about half of their combat power, and after using up defensive equipment such as stones, crossbow arrows, and kerosene in the city, they could only fight. Standing at the top of the city, the Turpan soldiers with scimitars in their hands and ferocious and crazy faces, who kept climbing up the city wall, chopped down and killed them.

The battle was extremely fierce. The soldiers of the two countries were not afraid of death. They fought together, stabbing their weapons into each other's bodies, embracing each other with red eyes, choking each other's necks, digging out flesh and blood, both screaming and rolling down the city wall, dying together. Scenes are happening everywhere.

On the highest stone building of the city wall.

“36、37、38……57、58、59……70！”

A young man in white robe and leather armor, holding a five-stone longbow, fired arrows in succession, hitting the vital points of the enemy soldiers within a hundred paces. Every arrow pierces through one of the eyes, ears, mouth, heart, and neck, killing him instantly.

"Good shot!"

The young man's archery skills drew applause.

"20, 21, 22...31, I'm old, I can't pull it anymore, I can't compare to you young people."

The red-faced, panting old general threw the hard bow in his hand into the hands of the side guards. He was still not convinced, but he saw that the young man beside him had achieved more than double his own record, and he was exhausted. The old general had no choice but to sigh old.

Seeing at another glance that there are more and more enemy troops rushing to the top of the city, and there is a faint tendency to dominate, the old general frowned, and immediately ordered: "Order the second city defense team to defend the city, and the first city defense team to defend the city." Withdraw! The reserve team will carry the wounded down!"

There are nearly [-] defenders in Stone City. The old general divided them into three defense teams and a reserve team. The three defense teams take turns to rest and defend. The reserve team is responsible for treating the wounded, lighting fires and cooking, and carrying weapons, etc. Work, at the last moment, the reserve team has to take up weapons, go to the top of the city, and fight the enemy to the last moment.

"Kill, drive the Tupan savage away!"

After the second city defense team rushed to the top of the city, the defending force, which received strong support, quickly gained a clear advantage and killed the Tupan barbarians who had climbed the top of the city. In desperation, he jumped off a city wall tens of meters high, and fell to pieces.

"Haha, that's 87!"

In the middle of the city defense team, there was a big man in the black tower holding a huge mace, his face was bloodstained, and he grinned wildly. The hundred catty stick in his hand was not slow at all, and every time it fell heavily With one blow, the weapons and enemies in front of him were either flattened or shattered. In front of the black tower man, no one could resist the second blow. He sometimes swung his stick in a semicircle, and several people even vomited blood and flew out backwards.

Empty all the enemies on the city wall, the black tower man found that there was a breach in the female wall, and enemies were still emerging. He rushed to the breach in three or two steps, one by one, and killed more than twenty Tupan warriors in succession. , No one of the enemy dared to take the lead anymore, so they had to retreat hastily.

"Oh oh oh~"

There was cheering from the top of the city.

"He's really a warrior! On the battlefield, this person can be as good as a hundred. Among thousands of armies, he will behead the general and capture the flag. What is the name of this person? It seems to be called Li, what is Li?"

The old general gave a big thumbs up!Trying to think back, he found that he had forgotten the name of the big man who had lifted the thousand-jin stone lock in front of him. He thought that this man was just stronger, and there was nothing special about it. Unexpectedly, today In the city defense battle, his performance was so eye-catching that he could even defend a twenty-foot city wall by himself.

"Old general, his name is Li Dazui, he has a huge appetite, he can feed 50 people in one meal, we all call him Dazui."

Zhou Ming introduced the old general.

"Meals for 50 people?"

The old general was taken aback, and opened his eyes wide and said: "When I was young, I could only eat meals for 20 people at most, and he was called the Jade Noodle Little Overlord... 50 people are the legendary Overlord Xiang Yu, so that's about it. ? Big mouth, Li big mouth, that mouth is really not small..."

Looking at Li Dazui, who was carrying a big stick and surrounded by soldiers, standing there with a silly smile, what left the deepest impression on the old general was his iconic big mouth.

Turning his head again, he looked at the medium-sized Zhou Ming with a gentle appearance, and recalled his performance in shooting and killing nearly a hundred enemies just now... The veteran general who has fought for a lifetime and is used to all kinds of big scenes finds himself getting more and more serious. I can't see through this world anymore, and I thought to myself: It seems that I am really old, this world will belong to these young people sooner or later.

……

After the difficult first day of defending the city, in the next three days, the Turpan army outside the city did not intend to withdraw at all. Instead, it increased the scale and intensity of the siege, and launched five waves of crazy attacks regardless of day and night .

For the biggest attack, Lun Zanqin mobilized all the elites he could, a total of 3 people!Breakthrough from the three most easy to break through directions, fighting for a whole day and night, many times close to breaking the city, but the loss of more than 3 people was less than one-third, and the Tupan army still couldn't take that one. The defenders may be left with a remnant city with less than a thousand people.

Early on the fifth day.

He ordered the craftsmen to repair more than 20 trebuchets and pointed them at the crumbling city gate. Lun Zanqin, whose eyes were bloodshot and mad, saw that the city gate was completely collapsed, raised his whip again, and launched the final attack. A wave of attacks.

At this time, Old General Su had to gather all the defensive forces in the city together, and with less than a thousand soldiers, he stood on the ruins of the city gate, armed with weapons, and fought with tens of thousands of Tupan barbarians who rushed forward. .

"Kill kill kill!"

Zhou Ming, who was standing in the middle of the queue, used up all his arrows and joined the melee ranks with a silver gun. In the army formation, the silver gun was like lightning, stabbing bloody flowers, one after another. An enemy who hadn't approached him fell down clutching the shocking blood hole on his neck... He no longer counted how many enemies he had killed. At this moment, like everyone else, he had only one thought, which was to kill!Kill all the enemies that are close to you until there is no one in front of you.

Facing an enemy army that was ten times larger than his own and endlessly killing him, Zhou Ming felt that his physical strength was gradually lacking. It was impossible for him not to have a trace of worry or fear in his heart, but seeing the old general with silver hair and blood stains beside him, Shouting repeatedly, killing the enemy with selflessness, the trace of fear in Zhou Ming's heart disappeared completely, and the efficiency of harvesting life in his hands accelerated again!

Secretly said: I have killed more than [-] enemies in the past few days, I will kill another [-] today, and let's talk about killing a thousand people!

Fortunately, standing aside, Li Dazui, who has a silly personality, knew what his mission was, and followed Zhou Ming closely. With the 80-jin Qinglong Broadsword in his hand, he slashed and slashed a large number of enemies. He was so frightened that no one dared to get close. Once the situation was not good, he would immediately fight his way out and lead the "boss" out of the battlefield.

"du~du~du~"

"Come on!"

"attack!"

Suddenly there was a burst of clear bugles and fierce shouts of killing from the north.

It turned out that when the remnant army in Stone City was close to the limit and could not resist, more than [-] Ganzhou troops finally arrived. After the attack horn sounded, first [-] elite soldiers destroyed all the grain and grass camps of the Turpan army. The [-]-strong army was divided into three groups, like three sharp knives, and they attacked the Turpan Central Army's formation, which was in a mess and had less than [-] people.

"Zhou Guo's reinforcements are here!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

Nearly [-] Turpan troops besieging Stone City saw Zhou Guo's reinforcements coming, and they retreated in fright.

The old general seized this opportunity, led a force of less than 600 people in the city, went out of the city to chase and kill five miles, and forced to land more than [-] enemy troops.

"Anyone who offends my Great Zhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Standing on a mountain top, seeing the remnants of Lun Zanqin's army who had fled several miles away, and could only see the background of the panic-stricken fleeing, he held his breath. It was a pity that Zhou Ming, who did not catch the enemy leader, could only Able to let out a roar to those distant figures.

"Anyone who offends my Great Zhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

With this roar, dozens of Zhou soldiers listening to it also roared.

"Anyone who offends my Great Zhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away!!"

"Anyone who offends my Great Zhou Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away!!!"

On the vast battlefield, the words resounded throughout the area, and the cries became louder and more uniform, like the roar of a lion and the roar of a tiger, shaking the valley, echoing up and down, and spreading dozens of miles away.

Hearing this sound, more than [-] Tupan prisoners of war, terrified and trembling, fell to their knees in groups. Lun Zanqin, who fled ten miles away, spat out a mouthful of blood, and almost fell off his horse.

……

In the Battle of Stone City, at the cost of more than [-] people killed in battle, Dazhou won a great victory by beheading [-] Turpans and taking [-] prisoners. Accepted the big defeat, after returning to the court, it was hidden by the snow, and it was reactivated ten years later, becoming a huge threat to the Great Zhou.
