Chapter 438

The buried hill is only 150 li away from Susong. Wu Shen will set out with 10000 elite soldiers at noon and attack all the way. He killed Susong at noon the next day.

Except that the Chinese army can achieve such a marching speed, I'm afraid the elite of Tianxiong army can do it.

Indeed, these 10000 people are Lu Xiangsheng's hometown soldiers, most of them are veterans brought from Huguang.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has always treated everyone equally, usually these 10000 people privately regard themselves as the servants of the supervisor.

This is also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng only sent these 10000 people to raid, because mixing with other troops will only delay, and in the end, it will be counterproductive.

After 10000 people arrived, they just took a break and began to demolish nearby houses and make siege tools.

At this time, Li Dingguo, with more than 2500 people, was already in full battle readiness. However, looking at the army outside the city, everyone's face showed dignity.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement and experts watch the doorway. These more than 2000 people are also Li Dingguo's personal guards and the only soldiers brought by Li Dingguo from Sichuan. They are all experienced veterans. Almost at a glance, we can see that the army outside the city is not simple, and we can expect it to be a fierce battle.

"General, it seems that the Ming army is coming!"

"Tell my brothers, as long as we stick to it until dark, our army will arrive tomorrow, and then the other party will become a turtle in a jar!"

Li Dingguo waved his hand.

Although the enemy's strength was five times that of them, and the Susong city wall was not high, he was not very worried.

Because more than 40000 of his troops had arrived in Jiujiang yesterday and were crossing the river under the cover of the Navy.

Jiujiang is only a hundred miles away from Susong. The vanguard troops will arrive tomorrow morning, but it's already afternoon. They only need to stick to it for two or three hours at most.

"Brothers, I don't need to say more about how the supervisor treats us on weekdays. It's time to serve the supervisor today. Rush with me, kill all the anti thieves and take Susong County!"

"Kill!"

"Go!"

Ten thousand heavenly heroes only prepared for an hour. They didn't even set up a camp, so they launched an attack from the East.

For the first time, Wu Shen put in 2000 men and horses, carrying more than 100 simple wooden ladders, shouted and rushed towards the city wall. At the same time, he sent 4000 people, like the South City and the north city.

"Shoot an arrow!"

As soon as Li Dingguo saw this posture, he knew that the other party wanted to work hard and dared not neglect it. He personally raised his knife and commanded on the east city wall, while the three confidants were responsible for the other three walls.

This is destined to be a bloody and crazy siege. Both sides of the attack and defense are family guards and veterans. The fighting will is not comparable to that of recruits.

The two thousand heavenly heroes braved the rolling wood, thunder, stone, dung and arrows. After putting the ladder on the wall, they climbed up bravely and bravely. One after another, the front fell down and the back went up. A ladder was overturned. Immediately someone rushed up and erected it again to build the city.

In just a quarter of an hour, two thousand heavenly heroes were killed and injured. Wu Shen didn't blink his eyelids. With a wave of his hand, two thousand people shouted and rushed up again. At this time, there was a cry of killing in the north and south.

With the arrival of the second wave of Tianxiong army, the rolling trees and thunder stones on the head of the city were almost thrown, the dung was poured out, and Tianxiong army began to climb up. The pressure of the garrison on the head of the city increased greatly, and casualties began to appear.

Li Dingguo took the lead with more than a dozen elite soldiers, carrying broadswords, cutting back and forth on the wall. Wherever there were many people climbing up, he would kill them.

In less than a moment, Li Dingguo was soaked with blood, and there were several more blood mouths on his body, but it was as if nothing had happened. The long knife was still cutting vigorously.

Compared with the time when Qin Huan and Li Dingguo attacked Sirius stronghold, Li Dingguo was more brave, like a bloodthirsty beast. The generals were so brave, not to mention his personal guards.

The two sides launched a crazy meat grinding war at the city head. Wu can see that he can't take the city head for a long time. He knows that if the stalemate continues, he will be driven off the city head by the other party. Once he is driven off the city head, it will be very difficult to attack. Therefore, once he bites his teeth, he personally took the knife and killed the last 2000 people and horses.

"Brothers, the broken city is right now. Kill me!"

"Go!"

Listening to the cry again from the bottom of the city, the faces of the defenders on the wall changed greatly. Several pro guard captains rushed to the crazy Li Dingguo and said urgently: "general, you can't fight any more. If you fight any more, the brothers will fight all out."

"Yes, general, these Ming troops are crazy. We'd better withdraw. We've tried our best. There's no need to compensate all our brothers for King Hua..."

Pooh!

Before the guard had finished speaking, he was stabbed off his head by Li Dingguo, and then roared with red eyes: "those who dare to retreat again will be killed without amnesty. I'll drive them all down and kill them!"

All the guards were frightened by Li Dingguo's madness. They dared not say retreat any more. They gritted their teeth, followed behind Li Dingguo and killed the Tianxiong army who rushed up again.

A bloody battle lasted for more than half an hour. The Tianxiong army was unable to drive the defenders down the city, and finally retreated. Li Dingguo and the pro guards also fell down on the corpses at the city head and gasped one by one.

There were more than ten wounds on Li Dingguo's body. If it hadn't been for the armor Qin Huan gave him, he would have died long ago.

"General, there are less than 1000 brothers alive. Only more than 500 can carry a knife and fight again. What should we do?"

A quarter of an hour later, the three vice generals came to Li Dingguo and reported.

"Panic what? Do you think these dogs can attack like they did just now? "

Li Dingguo stood up with a long knife, looked at the corpses all over the city and said.

"But general, there are at least 5000 or 6000 people on the other side. Now it's half an hour before dark. I'll worry at the end of the day..."

"First organize the young men in the city to carry the injured brothers down, empty the city, and then carry some bricks and wood up." Li Dingguo waved his hand.

Seeing that the general was determined to stick to it, the three had to promise with fists and go down to work.

At this time, the Tianxiong army outside the city fell to the bottom like a defeated rooster.

Wu Shen was also injured and hung one arm in front of his chest. Although he was no longer willing, he had to order someone to cook in a pot and fill his stomach first.

After a big meal, it was dark. Although Wu Shen decided to burn the midnight oil, his morale was no longer the same as before. In addition, he did not sleep all night last night. He launched two tentative attacks and was beaten back. He had to order the troops to take a rest, get ready to have a good sleep, recover his energy and morale, and make the last fight as soon as dawn tomorrow.
