Chapter 478: Happy

On the top of the city, countless torches illuminate the sky and the earth. Above and below the city, there are layers upon layers of remains of the war dead. The blood pooled together and flowed into the moat.

Ye Jing'er's hands were sore and weak, and she could no longer lift them up. Under Cao Lian'er's caress, she barely leaned on the big drum to stand firm. This last battle did not last long, but she had already exhausted herself. Do your best.

"We won!" Ye Jing'er looked at the soldiers and civilians jumping and cheering in the city, her voice was weak but full of joy.

"We won!" Cao Lianer nodded affirmatively, "This time, the opponent's back must be broken. In a short time, they can no longer attack."

"We won!" Ye Zhen clenched his fist, waved it fiercely in the air, and said to Tang Ming and Wang Yi who were bruised and supporting each other.

In this battle, the important thing is not to repel an attack that the Yan army is bound to win, but more importantly, they have defeated the opponent's spirit, which is the most precious thing. Morale, although invisible and intangible, is real. With the help of countless folks behind him, the Zhengdong Army defended the city with great difficulty. Although there were many casualties, their spirit and spirit reached the highest point. Looking at the Yan Army, the casualties in this final battle may be higher than those in the city. Even smaller, but their morale has been slumped.

This time, they didn't take Jishi City, then they will never be able to take Jishi City.

Hu Yanchao's face was ashen. He had experienced battles for a long time, so he naturally knew the consequences of failing alone. Tan Feng's face was ashen. Although he tried his best to stabilize his hands, they still trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Retreat!" After a while, Hu Yanchao's voice was extremely soft and extremely tired. "We can't fight anymore, unless you, Commander Tan, decide to kill you. Bury all the 20,000 Yan troops here, exchange lives for lives, and use corpses to build a passage leading to the city wall."

Tan Feng bit his lip tightly, looking at the brightly lit Jishi City in the distance. from where. Just then came the cries of Wan Sheng from the Eastern Expedition Army like a tsunami.

"There are plenty of armaments and food in the city. Their only shortcoming is that they don't have enough soldiers, but now they have it!" Hu Yanchao said with emotion: "This is the most tenacious defender I have ever seen."

Originally thought it would be an easy hunt, but now it has become a tough tug-of-war. Tan Feng's heart is full of bitterness. Jishi City will be difficult to win, and he knows this very well. Of course he couldn't stop the lives of all the standing troops here, because they also have other uses.

"Let's go back to the camp first!" He said exhaustedly, now. He still has one hope, and that is that Zhou Yu's side can win the battle, whether it is capturing Gao Yuan or killing Gao Yuan,

It can fundamentally disintegrate the morale of Jishi City, wait a little longer, maybe Jishi City will be able to fall without a fight.

Tan Feng, who returned to the big tent, finally understood what happened in Beicheng. With the support of several guards, Ji Wuqing, who was covered in blood, staggered into the big tent. When he saw Tan Feng, his legs went limp. , sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

The generals in the tent saw the blood still dripping down Ji Wuqing's body, obviously he was not clear from the wound.

"Over there in Beicheng, what's going on?" Tan Feng asked softly.

"We have reached the edge of the city, and Yanlingwei's brothers are already climbing the city wall. When the thousand brothers were crossing the moat, the city gate suddenly opened, and out came cavalry, thousands of cavalry." Ji Wuqing said Crying loudly, even if he didn't say anything about the power of two thousand cavalry rushing out, everyone could still imagine it.

"They're all dead, all the brothers are dead! It happened so suddenly that many brothers were trampled to death by the horses before they could react."

Tan Feng and Hu Yanchao looked at each other, feeling very sad, but also rejoicing. Obviously, there has been such a cavalry force of more than 2,000 people hidden in Jishi City, and the idea is to attack the city with the entire Yan army. At that time, he suddenly broke out and cut into the Yan army. At that time, the Yan army without any precautions, under the impact of such a cavalry of thousands of people, it is possible for the entire army to be wiped out.

Fortunately, at the same time, they also sent an army to attack the North Gate. The sudden encounter between the two armies broke the original arrangement between the two sides, but for the Yan army, this was a blessing in misfortune , although they lost the army of Ji Wuqing and Zhang Zhuo, they also won precious time, allowing the main force to make a certain response, making the opponent's plan to destroy the main force of the Yan army also bankrupt Well, in comparison, he still took advantage of it.

"General Ji, Zhang Zhuo is gone, why hasn't Zhang Zhuo come back?" Zhang Junbao asked impatiently.

Ji ruthlessly shook his head, "The situation was too chaotic at that time, there were cavalry galloping everywhere, we were cut into countless small pieces, we couldn't form an effective response to each other, General Zhang is now living or dying, I have no idea."

Zhang Junbao is like falling into an ice cellar. In the battle tonight, Zhang Zhuo took away the last bit of essence of Liaoxi County. Now it seems that he is probably a meat bun beating a dog. If Zhang Zhuo dies, then his subordinates , There will no longer be a general.

The Yan army's camp fell into silence. This defeat completely made them lose the courage to take down Jishi City. The reason why Tan Feng did not withdraw his troops was only to hold on to one hope, that is, Zhou Yuna On the one hand, to defeat and kill Gao Yuan, the best situation is to capture Gao Yuan alive. In this way, Jishi City loses its owner, their fighting spirit will be disintegrated immediately, and Jishi City will fall without a fight.

But at this time, in Jishi City, there was joy mixed with sadness.

The city was defended, but the casualties in the city were also very heavy. At the last moment, countless people in the city rushed to the top of the city to help in the battle. With the help of the huge advantage in numbers, they forcefully squeezed the Yan army out of the city, but these The people who have no combat skills and the ability to protect themselves are defending this city with their own lives.

Those who survived carried the remains of the war dead to the city, and grief spread in the city at this time. And at the top of the city, Bai Yucheng dragged a general of the Yan Army who was tied up by five flowers to the top of the city.

"Zhang Zhuo!" Many people exclaimed.

This general with several scars on his body, dripping with blood, and disheveled hair is Zhang Zhuo, the last surviving general in Liaoxi County.

Huang Zhan, who was beside Ye Zhen, rushed out all of a sudden, raised the knife in his hand that had almost turned into a saw, and fell towards Zhang Zhuo with the sound of the wind.

"Zhang Zhuo, fuck me, you have today!" Huang Zhan yelled angrily. In Bixiu Peak, Zhang Shubao, Lu Hong, Huang Desheng and others were all lost at the hands of Zhang Zhuo.

With a tight wrist, Bai Yucheng stretched out his hand and clasped Huang Zhan's wrist firmly, "General Huang, calm down."

Bai Yucheng was strong, and Huang Zhan couldn't move after this buckle. He glared at Bai Yucheng and shouted: "Let go, this is my father-killing enemy, and I will not share the same fate. Whoever stops me from revenge will be my enemy."

"General Huang, this person is an important person in Liaoxi County. He is very clear about many things in Liaoxi City. He is a participant and a planner. You should know that General Gao is now being framed for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. Wash it away, this guy is a very important circumstantial evidence, how to deal with it, you have to wait for the general to come back, you can't lynch it."

Ye Zhen came over, put his arms around Huang Zhan's shoulders, and whispered in his ear, "Huang Zhan, this person has already fallen into our hands, what's the difference if we kill him early and kill him later, but before he dies, We have to squeeze out the last bit of oil from him, bear with it, and when that happens, how about we ask the general to let you do it yourself?"

With a bang, the big knife in Huang Zhan's hand fell to the ground. He looked up to the sky, turned around and left, and never looked at Zhang Zhuo again. Die this sworn enemy.

Zhang Zhuo's face was ashen, and he wanted to keep a bit of dignity, but Bai Yucheng kicked him lightly on the knees, and he couldn't help but kneel down.

Ye Zhen looked at Zhang Zhuo with disheveled hair and let out a long laugh, "Zhang Zhuo, you have a day too! You just wait, when General Gao comes back, I will talk to you slowly."

Zhang Zhuo took a deep breath and said with a sneer: "The general will inevitably die before the battle, which is nothing, but Gao Yuan, are you still counting on him to come back? To tell you the truth, General Zhou Yu brought ten thousand standing troops, As early as a month ago, I went to Gaoyuan to ambush him on the only way back to the west. With Gaoyuan's remaining defeated soldiers after hundreds of battles in Donghu, how could he be the opponent of General Zhou? I'm afraid the one you are waiting for is not Gaoyuan , but his head."

Ye Zhen glanced at Bai Yucheng, and both of them burst into laughter. Ye Zhen squatted in front of Zhang Zhuo, looked at him jokingly, and said, "I want you to know that General Gao did lose a lot of soldiers in Donghu." Zhou Yu was indeed standing in the way of General Gao's return to the west, but General Gao's subordinates were not remnants and defeated generals, but commanded more than 6,000 soldiers, and there were more than 3,000 cavalry. Zhou Yu's 10,000 men, Do you think he will be my general's opponent?"

Zhang Zhuo's eyes widened, his expression full of disbelief, "This, how is this possible?"

"Do you still remember General Infantry?" Ye Zhen laughed happily, "He didn't follow General Gao to the Eastern Expedition, what do you think he did?"

"The foot soldier is already disabled, what can he do?" Zhang Zhuo yelled.

"Ha!" Bai Yucheng sneered, "Crippled? Let me tell you, even if the infantry general has only one leg left, it's easy to take care of a guy like you. It's useless to have ten of them. Tan Feng refused to withdraw, Are you waiting for Zhou Yu to come back? I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for Zhou Yu, but the one who will come is the deadly Asura!"

Everyone in the city laughed happily, but Zhang Zhuo was completely knocked down, and he fell to the ground like a dead dog.
