Chapter 567 Night Attack

Chapter 567 Night Attack
After struggling to survive day after day, the city was besieged by thousands of enemies, and the number of Beacon Fortresses has been continuously reduced from more than 200. Now there are only a few dozen people left.

That night, Zhang Xiaojing, who was sleeping soundly against the wall, was awakened by a nightmare. Not far away, the injured recruit Liu Zongqi seemed to have difficulty breathing and was screaming in pain.

He patted the colleague who was watching the night to remind him to wake up, but he didn't move at all. Zhang Xiaojing thought he was lying on the city wall and fell asleep, so he got up and tried to wake him up, but the man slipped and lay on the ground. Only then did Zhang Xiaojing see clearly that the arrow was shot in the neck...

Not good, enemy attack!
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaojing to warn, an enemy turned over from the city wall in front of him and slashed towards Zhang Xiaojing's front door with a knife. It turned out that the enemy killed the night watchman and climbed up with a ladder.

Zhang Xiaojing was startled, he quickly blocked it with his arm armor, grabbed the opponent's hand tightly, and the two wrestled together.

"Kill..." Wen Wuji, who woke up for the first time, held a horse spear and pierced Zhang Xiaojing's opponent from the side, "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming..."

The shouting and killing sounded again, and a night battle began.

The recruit Liu Zongqi kept shouting, "I can't die, I can't die..."

Only this time, he didn't run wildly, but waited against the wall all the time, as if every sentence was praying for victory.

The banner bearer Xiao Gui stood on the highest point, holding a huge hard crossbow and loaded with sharp arrows. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy is not easy to guard against at night, like a sniper, he helped to shoot and kill the enemies who climbed to the top of the city with cold arrows one after another.

Fighting at night requires lights, otherwise the poor visibility is extremely disadvantageous for fighting. When the number of enemies climbs up to the top of the city, the beacon fortress may not be able to defend.

Zhang Xiaojing yelled loudly, as if to strengthen his courage, but also to boost morale, and to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, "Old Wen, let's talk about the horses in Chang'an!"

"The horse breeder and Zhao Hongying met again after 30 years..."

"The horse can live, can we live?" Zhang Xiaojing asked loudly.

"can!"

"Anyone who offends me will be punished!"

A group of illiterate men, a story about Chang'an City, but it can be used as food for hunger and clothing for cold. It can also boost morale during wartime and encourage everyone to hold hope and never give up!This is the Eighth Regiment, a group of pure men, Tang people who hope for the glory of the Tang Dynasty and hope for Chang'an.

A great battle did not end until the time of the people, and the enemy finally gave up. Both sides were cleaning the battlefield. Of course, it was mainly the Eighth Regiment on the top of the city, dragging the corpses, throwing the enemy's down, gathering up the own people, and taking down the identity wooden plaque , Put them back together, bury the corpses on the spot, collect arrows, weapons, armor, food, all carefully.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and after a while there was thunder, and then there was a downpour of rain, which seemed to wash away the crimes of killing brought about by the war. The soldiers of the Eighth Regiment did not even have a chance to take shelter from the rain. The enemy took advantage of the situation to attack again.

Seeing that the box containing the identity card was also drenched in the rain, Zhang Xiaojing went over and poured out the water inside, tidied it up carefully, looked at the full box in silence, closed the lid, and wiped it carefully, just like a family member Be gentle and careful.

Ding Laosan rushed over and asked: "We have held on for 21 days, have we tried our best? Huh? The military order is for us to reconnaissance, not to fight against the enemy. More than 20 days ago, when we first saw the enemy, we should have retreated!"

Zhang Xiaojing glanced at the distance, arranging the food bags one by one, and said in a deep voice, "Faconsui Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so don't let it go!"

Everyone knows why they stick to it. If the enemy seizes this place, if there is a war in the future, they will attack and defend Yixing, and the city will be replaced by Datang to attack. How many people will die?Therefore, you can't give up. Even if the enemy wants to take it down, they have to leave piles of corpses.

Ding Laosan was powerless against Zhang Xiaojing's obstinacy, "Hey! The nearest garrison is only 20 miles away, and there are the first three regiments full of garrisons. We have been fighting here for more than [-] days, and no one has come to help? Chen Xingfan went out It has been ten days since the reinforcements were called, and the reinforcements are coming, they should have arrived long ago..."

Seeing that the other party has been silent, Ding Laosan grabbed a small piece of flax cake soaked in rain, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, complaining angrily and really hungry.

Zhang Xiaojing glared at him fiercely, but didn't say anything, they were all brothers in life and death, although everyone should share the rations, but since the third child was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, they were all his own brothers. He just took one bite.

Ding Laosan did not continue to grab the food, but grabbed Zhang Xiaojing's arm and shouted: "Back!"

"Don't retreat!" Wen Wuji shouted loudly in the distance, "Don't retreat, Chang'an people have such a temper!"

Everyone looked at Lao Wen, and Lao Wen told the story again.

Zhang Xiaojing said to Ding Laosan: "Gai Jiayun will not abandon us."

Ding Laosan questioned: "Just eat this little, there are more than a dozen of us, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Zhang Xiaojing didn't speak, but pulled up Ding Laosan and returned to their posts.

In the dilapidated city gate building, Liu Zongqi, who was injured, was having a nightmare: "My mother, my mother is going to starve to death..."

Hearing this, everyone stopped listening to the story and looked at Liu Zongqi sadly.

At the highest point, Xiao Gui, who was using a big shield to cover the rain, grabbed the big shield in annoyance, threw it aside, stood up against the wind and rain, looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and shouted under this battle flag: " Don't retreat! The eighth regiment, nine deaths without regret! Don't retreat!"

It seemed that they were infected by him, and everyone felt a kind of faith and steadfastness that see death as home, and they all stood up and shouted: "The eighth regiment, nine deaths without regret!"

Liu Zongqi woke up and looked at the Eighth Regiment quietly. The recruit's eyes looked more and more like members of the Eighth Regiment.

But Ding Laosan sneaked over, found a grain bag, grabbed the broken cakes and slags in it and ate them.

"Ding Laosan!" Zhang Xiaojing was so angry that he kicked him down.

A lot of people gathered around, although they secretly scolded the youngest son for being a starving ghost, you ate everyone's rations, if you can't keep it, you will die.But seeing Ding Laosan's aggrieved and protesting eyes, everyone fell silent and returned to their posts consciously.With this little food, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not.

It rained heavily for an hour, and at night, Ding Laosan found Wen Wuji and Zhang Xiaojing, "Twelve hours later, where are Gai Jiayun's reinforcements?"

Enemy bonfires were lit in the city, and they sang and danced and slaughtered sheep for a banquet.

"Get down, get down! They're trying to lure us, they know we're out of food..." Wen Wuji reminded one by one.

Xiao Gui came down holding a hard crossbow, Wen Wuji asked: "Why did you come down?"

Xiao Gui didn't answer, but looked at Ding Laosan and asked: "Lao San, are you full?"

Ding Laosan stood up slowly, and said stubbornly, "What's the matter? Grandpa, I just have a big appetite, so I don't want to go to Chang'an hungry!"

Xiao Gui did not quarrel with him, but took two steps forward, pointed at the enemy in the distance below and said, "Go down and make bait!"

The meaning is obvious, you have eaten everyone's rations, you are full, and we are out of food.Then you have to go down and make bait. We catch enemies and get food from them.

Many people stood up one after another, Ding Laosan took a deep look at Xiao Gui, silently went to prepare without saying anything.

Not long after, Ding Laosan fell down from the top of the city with a rope, and quietly approached the enemy camp with a spear in his hand.

On the top of the city, Xiao Gui, Zhang Xiaojing and others are all holding bows and crossbows and waiting in battle.
