Chapter 51 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky

Yu Danjun, the young prince of the Xianyu tribe, gave orders, and another 3,000 Rongdi soldiers under his command joined the siege.

Seeing the Rongdi army send another 3,000 people to attack the city, Hexi County Magistrate Chen Tianhua and Hexi County Lieutenant Wu Cheng suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.

Fortunately, the city was high and the walls were thick, which could resist the cavalry of the Rongdi tribe. The Rongdi cavalry could only switch to infantry to attack the city, greatly reducing the advantage of the Rongdi army.

The grassland peoples such as Rongdi and Xiongnu were best at riding and shooting, and cavalry was their strong point. Compared with attacking cities and strongholds, the Rongdi army was not good at it. If they wanted to attack cities, they could only use soldiers to fill in.

The nobles who were high above would not care about the lives of ordinary people. These ordinary Rongdi soldiers were no different from cannon fodder.

Wu Cheng commanded the soldiers to continuously defend against the enemy, and Chen Tianhua, the county magistrate and scholar, also raised his sword to kill the enemy.

Although he was a scholar, he dared to kill the enemy with a three-foot green sword, which greatly enhanced the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

"Hold on, reinforcements are on the way. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will definitely be able to repel the Rongdi enemy army." Wu Cheng killed a Rongdi enemy soldier who climbed up the city wall with one sword, constantly boosting morale.

Five hundred people died defending the city yesterday, and only 1,500 people are defending the city today, plus the warriors and warriors in the city.

But the Rongdi army attacking the city today has five to six thousand people.

Four or five times more than them.

Even if they rely on the city wall, they can't defend for long.

Although he was constantly boosting morale, Wu Cheng was very uncertain.

He knew that Anning Pass had fought with the Xiongnu enemy for a month, and now he was afraid that he would not be able to send too many soldiers to reinforce.

Saying that reinforcements were coming soon was just an idea for the soldiers defending the city.

As for whether the Hexi County could be defended, Wu Cheng had no idea.

The Rongdi army attacked the city until noon, and the defenders resisted stubbornly and did not let the Rongdi army attack the city wall.

However, more than half of the defenders of Hexi County were killed or wounded.

Seeing that there were only 700 soldiers left, many of them were still injured.

Captain Wu Cheng and County Magistrate Chen Tianhua looked solemn.

Can they still hold on today?

The two didn't know, and they didn't have the answer in their hearts.

...

On the other side, Sheng Huaian was galloping with his subordinates.

Sheng Huaian divided the 1,700 supplementary soldiers into two teams, Guo Xiaoping and Hu Bing, each leading a team of 1,000 people.

He directly appointed the veterans of the martial arts master realm as the chief, the warriors as the chief soldiers, and the experienced veterans as the chiefs and squad leaders.

He believed that with the leadership of 300 veterans, this new team would not fall apart at the first touch.

In October in the northern border, the leaves and grass have turned yellow.

On the road with yellow leaves flying, a team of cavalry was galloping, the sun was shining, and the fallen leaves were dancing like butterflies.

Such a beautiful scenery, Sheng Huaian and others had no time to appreciate it.

"Go!"

"Go..."

He led his men to gallop without stopping, and rushed to Hexi County quickly.

Rescue is like putting out a fire. If they are a step slower, Hexi County will be broken by the Rongdi army. Even if they go to Hexi County, it will be meaningless.

The cavalry is as swift as the wind, with flags flying. On the flag, there is a big word "Sheng".

This means that Sheng Huaian is the commander of this army.

...

At noon, after a short rest and lunch, the Rongdi army began to attack the city again.

"Brothers, resist the enemy!" Hexi County Lieutenant Wu Cheng shouted.

More than 700 soldiers, and hundreds of constables, warriors, and warriors in the county, picked up their weapons and began to meet the enemy.

"Woo woo..."

The attack horn of the Rongdi army sounded, and many residents in the city were panicked.

Some wealthy families were busy packing up their belongings and preparing to flee to the inside of the pass after the city was broken.

Go to participate in the battle to defend the city?

Sorry, they are rich and noble masters, not ordinary lowly people, and they have no idea or obligation to defend the city.

"The city is broken and people are dead. Everyone, the county magistrate is fighting bravely on the city wall. Do you dare to join hands with the three-foot sword and go up to the city wall with me to kill the enemy!?" A scholar said loudly.

"As long as the flying general of Longcheng is here, he will not let the slaves and horses cross the Anshan Mountain. The young general Sheng at Anning Pass is also a scholar. He dares to fight bravely for the country, so we can do it too." A scholar said immediately.

"I am so ambitious that I eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and I drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty. The Rongdi dare to invade my Wei. Although we are scholars, we also know a little bit of boxing."

"Let's go up the city wall to kill the enemy!"

A group of scholars, holding three-foot green swords, went up the city wall.

Where there are passionate scholars, there are naturally those who are afraid of death. Some timid scholars, businessmen, and rich and noble masters are all packing their things, ready to escape at any time.

Most of those who dared to climb the city wall to resist the enemy were peddlers and hawkers. Their homes were here. Where else could they go in such a big world?

"Kill!"

"Smash these damn Rongdi people to death."

Stones, wood, gold juice, tetanus swords, and tetanus knives were all weapons to deal with the Rongdi siege army.

"Drink my Dafen!" A civilian took the boiling hot gold juice and poured it on the Rongdi people's heads.

"Ah..."

The boiling hot gold juice fell like rain, instantly scalding many Rongdi people and falling off the ladders.

Shouts and screams were continuous.

This is the battlefield, there are only blood and swords, life and death!

"Brother Jin!"

Song Chengwen saw his former friend being killed, his eyes full of sorrow and hatred.

"Kill!"

He killed a Rongdi soldier with a sword, and was besieged by two Rongdi soldiers again.

The Rong and Di armies were on the offensive, and the defenders continued to die.

The clothes and faces of Chen Tianhua, the scholars, warriors, civilian husbands and others were all stained with blood at this moment.

Wu Cheng, a captain in the late Houtian period, was also facing the siege of two powerful Houtian soldiers from Rong and Di.

Hexi County is in danger!

After a desperate and bloody battle until the afternoon, there were only more than 300 defenders on the walls of Hexi County.

"Lord Magistrate, when will our reinforcements arrive?" a surviving scholar asked with his blue shirt stained with blood.

"It's almost here, we're almost here, we insist on holding on," County Magistrate Chen said.

"Colonel, Captain, hold on, you can't die." An uncle kept shaking Wu Cheng's body.

Wu Cheng single-handedly killed two Rong Di and Houtian warriors, and his own county was seriously injured and critically injured.

Among the Rong and Di armies, Yu Danjun put away his joking smile as he looked at the Wei defenders who resisted tenaciously.

He did not see fear or despair on the faces of these Wei people.

Instead, I saw the perseverance to fight to the death!

"Is this the Wei Dynasty that father mentioned? The bones are really hard enough." Yu Danjun said slowly.

Until now, the Wei people have not taken a step back, abandoned the city and fled.

"Send another three thousand people to capture Hexi County." Yu Danjun stopped playing tricks.

No wonder his father said that Wei was a powerful enemy with strong bones.

The Wei Dynasty, which can resist the two great grassland overlords of the Xiongnu and Rongdi, cannot be underestimated.

"Yes, little prince."

The Xianyu clan is considered a royal and powerful clan among Rongdi.

Therefore, Yu Dan's army was able to lead an army of 30,000 people south to attack Hexi County.

Seeing that Rong and Di's army sent another three thousand people to join the siege, County Magistrate Chen showed a trace of despair in his eyes.

Wu Cheng was seriously injured and dying, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. He was the only one with the highest position in Hexi County.

But even so, Chen Tianhua did not take a step back, nor did he have any thoughts of escaping.

He is the county magistrate of Hexi County. In Hexi County, there are only magistrates who died in battle and no magistrates who escaped.

He doesn't know if it happened before, and he doesn't know if it will happen in the future.

But he will never take a step back. He, Chen Tianhua, has his own character.

"Everyone, we may not be able to wait until the reinforcements arrive. Are you afraid of death?" Chen Tianhua said loudly.

All the soldiers on the wall looked at him.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Fuck that damn Inurong tribe bastard."

"Eighteen years later, he's a good guy again. He's afraid of an egg and will fuck him to death."

"Yeah, fuck him to death."

The remaining soldiers looked at death one by one. They were not afraid or sad at this moment, but laughed.

"Okay, you are all warriors and good men of our great Wei Dynasty. Chen is proud to fight with you."

"Now, you and I will fight against the national calamity together, and we will fight to the end with the dog soldiers." Chen Tianhua raised the long sword in his hand, looking forward to death.

At this moment, Chen Tianhua didn't look like a scholar or county magistrate at all, but like a Confucian general.

"Fight to the bitter end!"

"Fight to the bitter end!"

The people on the city wall were united and no one backed down. They were determined to live or die with Hexi County.

"Incompetent barking." Looking at the shouts erupting from the city wall, Yu Danjun said lightly.

This Hexi County is already in his pocket.

"Today, I will use my nine-foot body to repay the country's kindness." At this moment, County Magistrate Chen's energy was shining, and his momentum surged.

"kill!"

The Rong and Di armies came like a tide, with great momentum.

Hexi County was no longer able to stop this wave of Rong and Di armies, and the county town fell in an instant.

Chen Tianhua glanced in the direction of Anning Pass, but they failed to wait for reinforcements...

"kill……"

…

"How far is it from Hexi County?" Sheng Huaian, who was galloping on horseback, asked.

"Captain, this place is still ten miles away from Hexi County." Guo Xiaoping replied.

"Order the soldiers to speed up and advance."

The cavalry is like a rolling torrent, rushing forward, flags fluttering, like a giant python surging,

They had very little time to rest along the way.

If it weren't for the fact that the horses couldn't bear it, they wouldn't even take a break.

For the cavalry, it takes only a quarter of an hour to reach ten miles away.

Wang Wu, who was sent out to investigate the enemy's situation, soon returned with two scouts.

"How is the situation?!" Sheng Huaian looked at Wang Wu and asked.

"Report to the captain, the Rong and Di armies are still attacking the city, and Hexi County is already in danger." Wang Wu replied while breathing heavily.

He galloped back on horseback, and there were only two to three hundred remaining soldiers clinging to the wall of Hexi County.

"Advance at full speed, we cannot allow Rong Di to break through the gate of Hexi County." Sheng Huaian shouted, speeding up the march.

"Guo Xiaoping, you take five hundred soldiers into the city to help defend against the enemy on the city wall. The others will follow me."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Follow me!" Guo Xiaoping immediately ordered five soldiers of five hundred men and followed him towards the city.

Sheng Huaian led 1,500 cavalry and charged straight into the enemy camp.

The rumble of galloping horse hooves could be heard far away, making it difficult to hide.

On the wall of Hexi County!

"My good sons of the Wei Dynasty, follow me to kill the enemy. If there is an afterlife, we will drink and talk happily." Chen Tianhua led the remaining soldiers and kept killing the enemies who came up the city wall.

"Little prince, there are enemy cavalry, and reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty have arrived." Scout Rong Di quickly came to report.

"How many people are there?" Yu Danjun asked immediately.

"1500 cavalry!"

"1500 cavalry, just want to save Hexi County? It's too late." Yu Danjun smiled faintly, not taking the 1500 cavalry of Wei seriously at all.

If it was a cavalry battle, he was confident that the Rongdi cavalry was invincible and could crush the Wei cavalry.

"Send 2,000 cavalry to kill these 1500 cavalry for me." Yu Danjun said immediately.

"Yes!"

In the Rongdi army, a 2,000 cavalry quickly left and headed towards Sheng Huaian's troops.

Soon, a soldier on the city wall saw the flag of the Wei army in the distance.

"County magistrate, county magistrate, look!" A soldier pointed excitedly in the direction of Sheng Huaian's troops.

"What's wrong!?"

"Reinforcements, my Wei reinforcements have arrived." The soldier cried happily.

When everyone heard it, they looked over. On the distant horizon, the flag of the Wei army was fluttering in the wind, and a cavalry was coming quickly.

"Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!" The remaining soldiers on the city wall burst into joyful shouts.

They finally held out until the arrival of reinforcements.

"Kill!!"

Guo Xiaoping led 500 soldiers to enter the city first and climbed the city wall.

"Kill..."

The mighty shouts of killing, like the sound of nature, reached the ears of County Magistrate Chen and others.

"Hahaha..."

"We are saved!" Chen Tianhua shed two lines of tears and sat on the ground.

He had already exhausted his strength and was completely supported by a breath.

Sheng Huai'an's troops, like a god descending from the sky, saved the building from collapse, and ignited the hope of life for the remaining soldiers in Hexi County.
