Chapter 63

At the head of the city, the attack of this group of heavy armour soldiers of the Jin army became more and more fierce. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong almost took human lives to fill in and held on to death. They always controlled the advance range of the heavy armour soldiers in the front line of the city wall and could not advance half a step forward.

The battle has been going on for most of the hour, both sides have been exhausted, but no one can eat the other.

At this time, the direction of the Houjin camp came the harsh sound of gold.

These heavy armour soldiers of the Late Jin Dynasty did not love war at all, but retreated quickly like a tide.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong didn't have long-range attack weapons. They couldn't pursue them. They could only watch the heavy armored soldiers retreat orderly. They even took away the bodies of many soldiers who died in the war near the head of the city.

"My Lord, the Tartars have retreated. We won. We won. " Shunzi's face was covered with blood, and his armor had broken a few holes. He ran quickly to Li Yuanqing's body, and cried out for relief.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was no longer human. His whole body was bloodstained. He didn't know how many wounds he had. He didn't know where his armor had been thrown away. His hair was spread out and his eyes were full of killing intention. He had never dissipated.

"Have you returned?" Li Yuanqing murmured, glancing at the figure of the Jin army retreating not far away.

"Back, back. Hold on to us. " Shunzi exclaimed with great joy.

Next to him, Shang Laoliu, Xu Heizi and Guan Canghai quickly gathered around Li Yuanqing. "Are you OK, sir?"

"My Lord, are you all right?"

Looking at a pair of concerned eyes, Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed, "Laozi is OK. It's not so easy for Tartars to want Laozi's life. "

The crowd was overjoyed, and some young soldiers couldn't help cheering.

However, it is far from the time for celebration. Li Yuanqing hastily ordered these officers to clean up the battlefield, and the civilians behind him to quickly clean up the sandbag ladder.

Li Yuanqing drank some hot water from the lower part of the city. After washing his face, his killing intention gradually dissipated, and his mind gradually became clear.

At this time, although the casualties have not been counted out, according to Li Yuanqing's visual observation, at least 70 or 80 people were killed in the battle, and the wounded, I'm afraid, would have to be 2300, almost everyone was injured.

On the other hand, although Li Yuanqing's headquarters defeated the first wave of the attack of the latter Jin army, the casualties were probably twice that of the latter Jin army.

It's also something that can't be done at all.

Although the Ming army had the potential of favorable location, they were all new recruits with serious lack of training and armaments. They were almost a group of slightly trained militia to fight against the elite of the Jin army.

At this time, it was a miracle that the city could be held even though the cost of 500 or 600 casualties was paid.

Fortunately, Zhenjiang is a pure new army, and its officers are brave men. Otherwise, if it were the main force of the Ming army, in this case, it would have collapsed.

At this time, accompanied by several relatives and soldiers, Chen Zhong came to this side and said, "Yuanqing, how about it? Are you ok? "

Chen Zhong's condition was no better than Li Yuanqing. His whole body was bloodstained. There was a crack on his chest armor. There was a faint blood seeping out from it. His face was a little pale.

"Brother, I'm fine. How are you? " Li Yuanqing is concerned about the way.

The situation on the battlefield was too chaotic. Faced with the fierce attack of the rear Jin heavy armour soldiers, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing were quickly cut apart, and there was no chance for them to cooperate. Li Yuanqing did not know about Chen Zhong's situation.

Chen Zhong chuckled, "the Tartars on dog day are really fierce, but I can't die. Yuanqing, let's hold on. "

Li Yuanqing also laughed and shook Chen Zhong's big hand. "Big brother, if there is one, there are two. If we can hold the first wave, we can hold the second wave, the third wave. However, I think the Tartars are mobilizing people again. Their next attack may come soon. We must be prepared. "

Chen Zhong nodded. "We must take advantage of this period of time to clear the wall. In the afternoon, they don't come up so well. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, and the two men respectively commanded their respective banners to be busy.

At lunch time, Mao Wenlong personally came to inspect the north gate defense line. When he saw such a tragic battle, his brow frowned. Wen Yan encouraged Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing also got the battle situation of Ximen and Nanmen from Mao Wenlong.

Although the western gate and the south gate were attacked by the later Jin army, both the momentum and the number of people were much smaller than that of the north gate. Although there were some casualties on our side, they were not as tragic as Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

Learning that the overall situation is OK, Li Yuanqing is a little more relaxed.

Mao Wenlong finished his inspection and left soon.

Looking at his old back, Li Yuanqing suddenly moved.

With Mao Wenlong as a hero, he can not fail to see that the Ming army in Zhenjiang city is at the end of its tether. Even if it can persist in today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

In history, Mao Wenlong left Zhenjiang City in advance before the end of the guard battle.Did he have the intention of going there in such a hurry?

To be frank, if Li Yuanqing changed to Mao Wenlong's point of view, he would also choose to run for his life and stay in the green hills without fear of firewood burning.

Otherwise, if the life is gone, turn into a touch of loess, then what qualification to talk about other?

However, it is Mao Wenlong's decision to stick to Zhenjiang after all. It is the decision made by Mao Wenlong after comprehensive consideration under the pressure of various aspects.

At that time, when the town of Maojin was attacked, it would have been a waste of life in Houlong town if it could not get a piece of news. When the Dongjiang army is established, there will be more kindling.

Unfortunately, nothing if.

This moment, Li Yuanqing's heart, suddenly a burst of restlessness.

Mao Wenlong's practice was not wrong, but he lost the responsibility that a man should have. He took nearly ten thousand soldiers in Zhenjiang City as a stepping stone for his loyalty to the imperial court.

Can the court really remember these people?

Who's going to help their family?

Who will feed their parents?

Li Yuanqing clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails were deep in his flesh, and his joints were creaking.

But for a moment, Li Yuanqing was suddenly relieved.

Mao Wenlong did nothing wrong.

He knew that it was a very wrong decision to stick to Zhenjiang. Now, he wants to correct this mistake, even if he has to pay the price of countless blood.

Long spit out a turbid gas, Li Yuanqing's eyes, more clear.

If a general is successful, his bones will wither.

For the sake of the overall situation, the general situation and the future, Zhenjiang city must pay such sacrifice.

And Li Yuanqing is also the same, for his own future, for his own ideal, at this time, he has to do something against his heart

Time flies by.

In the afternoon, the second wave of the post Jin army offensive soon arrived.

Different from the heavy armour attack in the morning, the attack in the afternoon was much weaker than that in the Ming Dynasty.

Under the cover of three or four hundred archers, a team of hundred sword and shield soldiers tentatively attacked the city wall several times. Faced with the fierce resistance of the Ming army, they did not rush again, but kept the rhythm. It seemed that they wanted to use this method to consume the strength of the Ming army.

Li Yuanqing soon saw their intentions. Unfortunately, the initiative of the war was firmly in the hands of the later Jin Dynasty. Even if he knew their intentions, Li Yuanqing had no way to do it.

The soldiers can only take turns to guard the city, and the total forces of two soldiers can be kept together for one hour at a time, switching back and forth.

Chen Zhong, like Li Yuanqing, has stabilized the situation for the time being.

After the Jin army saw this, it was no longer rash. Only archers fired cold arrows from afar, maintaining a confrontation with the Ming army.

In the evening, with the fall of night, the Jin army retreated quickly, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Li Yuanqing is always thinking about Mao Wenlong's affairs, and he can't concentrate on the whole afternoon.

In fact, Mao Wenlong has done so without any criticism, while Li Yuanqing, in fact, has already prepared for the future. They are all half a dozen. Who can say who?

However, Mao Wenlong wants to withdraw the route that can be found. Li Yuanqing has already completed almost all the rehearsals before digging the tunnel in advance.

At this time, the only way to escape from Zhenjiang city was the east wall.

Certainly not during the day. Only at night, by the night, from the east wall to the river, across the Yalu River, and then to Longchuan.

At this moment, Li Yuanqing wanted to disclose the news of his tunnel to Mao Wenlong, but after careful consideration, Li Yuanqing gave up the idea.

He is innocent, but he is guilty.

This kind of time, this kind of thing, still leave oneself to use most safely.

However, if Mao Wenlong left like this, Li Yuanqing himself would not get the slightest benefit.

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Yuanqing has already made a decision to order the sixth senior businessman to coordinate the defense line and just go to Mao Wenlong's official hall. But at this time, Mao Wenlong's own soldiers came to call Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing to the official hall for discussion.

Li Yuanqing has a vague feeling, which is an indescribable feeling. He quickly greets Chen Zhong and rushes to the official hall.

In the official hall, Mao Wenlong only wore a cloth robe. The gullies on his old face seemed to be deeper.

Around, you Jinghe, Wang Fu, Chen Zhong, Zhang Yuanzhi and other important officers were all around, but Chen liangce and Zhang pan were not seen.

Mao Wenlong glanced at the crowd and sighed: "tonight, I'm going to leave Zhenjiang City, and you will stay here."

Everyone was stunned, but in a moment they all reacted.

Chen Zhong took the lead in saying, "general, Zhenjiang city is in danger. You need to leave as soon as possible. I, Chen Zhong, will live and die with Zhenjiang city. Just ask the general to avenge the brothers. "

With that, Chen Zhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.You Jinghe, Wang Fu and Zhang Yuanzhi all knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

They are all Mao Wenlong's close soldiers. Even if Mao Wenlong wants to abandon them at the moment, they don't have any complaint, but they are still willing to raise Mao Wenlong's flag.

Li Yuanqing also knelt on the ground, "general, you live, is all our hope. I am willing to live and die with Zhenjiang. "

Mao Wenlong vomited out a long breath of turbid gas, "it's Mao who is sorry for you. I will comfort your family. "

They kowtow hard again, and men like you Jinghe and Chen Zhong shed tears.

Mao Wenlong is also dim in tears, but for a moment, he wiped his tears with force, "Chen Zhong, Yuan Qing, today, we still need you two to give me a last hand."

Li Yuanqing instantly understood the meaning of Mao Wenlong, hastily kowtow, "humble duty is willing to die for the general."

Chen Zhong also kowtowed repeatedly.

"Good." No longer hesitating, Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "let's go to the east gate."

……

At night, on the wall of the east gate, the fire flashed back and forth.

In order to prevent the Late Jin army from approaching the wall at night, the Ming army must keep the city wall bright.

Later, the same was true of the Jin army. In order to prevent the Ming army from escaping to report the news, Sentinels were stationed at each gate.

Suddenly, there is a small torch in the wall of the east gate, quietly extinguished.

At this time, a small basket, carrying a figure, quickly went down to the wall.

The figure flashed in the light and soon disappeared into the boundless darkness.

The torch on the head of the city soon lit up again. At this time, a confused light rain fluttered in the sky. Against the light of the fire, a big flag not far away, "Assistant General of Guangning" was so dazzling
