Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 51 Gaoyou defensive battle (fourteen)

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly wiped the neck of the Yuan soldier, panting heavily, the blood stains on his face were washed out with traces of sweat.Hearing the voice, Zhang Shicheng turned his head to look at the Yuan Bing who fell on the ground, and understood what happened just now.He grinned and said intermittently: "Second brother...your...skills...are...so good..."

Zhu Yuanzhang also gasped and said, "Brother...you are... old..."

"Who says I'm old!" Zhang Shicheng roared, and attacked at the same time as Zhu Yuanzhang, rushing towards the Yuan army who had just climbed the top of the wall.

The setting sun is weeping blood, and the sky is full of glowing clouds.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng stood back to back at the top of the city, watching the shadow of the Yuan army gradually retreating, thinking about the same thing in their hearts: survived.

As night fell, the soldiers who survived the fierce battle at the head of the city for a day were lying among the corpses, their dirty chests heaving violently, which was the only difference between them and the corpses.

The women and children in the city shed tears, dragged the barrels to the top of the city, and delivered meals to the surviving soldiers.They knew that their men would most likely die in battle.The remaining soldiers are the last force to protect them.

Zhang Shicheng stuffed two steamed buns indiscriminately, and without taking a break, he followed Peng Yingyu to inspect the situation of the city defense.

The Gaoyou garrison suffered heavy casualties. In some places, only the captain of the city gate garrison was left alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang's people were originally reserved as a reserve team to attack vulnerable places of the enemy at any time, but now they are also assigned to various defense points to replace the fallen defenders and prepare for the next round of Yuan army's attack.

Walking to the south gate, where the fighting was most intense, Zhang Shicheng saw a thin figure, dragging a piece of wood, struggling to walk upwards. The helmet and armor on that figure's body were obviously a few sizes too big, and they were worn loosely on his body. of.

Zhang Shicheng strode over, picked up the piece of wood, and carefully looked at the figure who turned around. As expected, there were two lines of tears hanging on his childish face.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Zhang Shicheng asked.

The child raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and performed a non-standard military salute: "Marshal, my name is Sun Aniu, and I am the son of Sun Fu, the captain of the South Gate Guards!"

Zhang Shicheng frowned: "Didn't I stipulate that in the army, only one father and son are allowed to go to the battlefield?"

Sun Aniu shook his head: "Marshal, I don't have a father anymore. It is my mother's wish to pick up my father's sword and guard the city for him."

Zhang Shicheng's eyes were sore, he reached out and touched the child's head: "Your father died for this city, don't you resent it?"

The child's eyes were full of firmness: "No resentment. This is my home. It is also the last home of the Han people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. My father died to protect this place. He is a hero!"

Zhang Shicheng was shocked, nodded, and said with firm eyes: "You are right. Your father is a hero. And here is the last home of the Han people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Soldiers should obey orders. Now I am ordering in the name of marshal." You: Take off your military uniform! Go home and take care of your mother!"

Tears filled the child's eyes: "Marshal, please, don't drive me away."

Zhang Shicheng reached out and took out the token, put it in the child's hand and said, "I don't want to drive you away, but I want you to do what you should do. This is my token. You show it to your mother, and she will naturally understand." My original intention!"

Looking at the back of the child step by step, Zhang Shicheng sighed slightly: Heroes cannot be left behind.

In the meeting hall, the smell of sweat and blood was mixed together, and it was so strong that it irritated the eyes.

But everyone in the hall did not respond to the strong smell at all, as if they had rhinitis at the same time.Covered in blood and mud, they sat staggeringly in the meeting hall, holding on to their spirits, waiting for the marshal's next order.

After Zhang Shicheng came back from a tour, he strode into the meeting hall and frowned as he looked at the exhausted officers and soldiers on the ground.

"Where are the master and Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know where Peng Yingyu and Zhu Yuanzhang had gone.

Zhang Shicheng frowned, and had people ask Xu Da, Tang He and others, but they didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts. They just said that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to take over the city defense, and where he went after that was unknown.

Zhang Shicheng was very anxious. At this critical juncture, Yuan soldiers were everywhere outside the city. He and his master disappeared. If something happened, how would he explain to Ma Chunhua?
Outside the city, the Yuan army had finished their dinner and assembled. The blazing torches lit up half of the night sky. The soldiers looked at Gaoyou City in front of them, full of confidence. The Han defenders in the city had reached the end of their strength. Charge and wipe them all out.

The horn of the charge sounded, and the Yuan army marched towards Gaoyou City again.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the defenders at the top of the city held half a piece of bread in their arms, barely stood up with their spears in their hands, and once again awe-inspiring murderous aura burst out from their red eyes.

"Kill!" There was a roar all over the sky, and the arrogance of the Yuan army was like a dark cloud in the sky, overwhelming people.

Tang He and the others picked up their weapons and stood in the most conspicuous position on the top of the city, becoming a monument that will not fall down in everyone's hearts.

The Yuan army was getting closer and closer, and the defenders at the top of the city could almost see the furry arms and thick thighs of the Yuan army.

These young Gaoyou soldiers silently bid farewell to their elderly parents and young lovers for the last time in their hearts. They only waited for the Yuan army to rush to the top of the city, and they fell with Gaoyou City.

"Come on!" The vanguard of the Yuan army has already boarded the slope where the corpses are piled up.

The defenders at the top of the city are at war, and a bloody battle between the two sides is imminent.

Behind the Yuan army, the horn sounded suddenly to withdraw the troops, which puzzled everyone.

Withdrawal?

why?
We were about to capture the city, why did we suddenly withdraw our troops?

Zhang Shicheng stood at the top of the city, watching the slowly retreating Yuan army, his eyebrows were twisted into two knots.

In the tent of the Yuan army commander, the generals of various cavalry divisions rushed in angrily, and asked loudly: "Who ordered the withdrawal of the troops? Why did they withdraw the troops? This is... what's going on?"

In the handsome tent, Tuotuo was wrapped with several bandages, and Wang Baobao was also injured on his hand. He sat beside the prime minister with a stern expression on his face.

The corpses of all the members of the pro-guards were lined up in a neat row in front of the commander's tent, and none of them survived. Although the wounds on their bodies were in different positions, they were all dead spots, and they were all killed by a single knife.

The generals took a deep breath and stopped talking. They just looked at Wang Baobao, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Wang Baobao coughed twice, his breathing obviously unstable: "I didn't expect that there were such skilled people among the Han people. I didn't even expect that there were two such powerful people. Fortunately, I arrived in time and seriously injured one of them." One. Otherwise, the prime minister might die here today."
