The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 227 A fierce battle

Under Xiao Shao's command, a large amount of firepower was concentrated at the gate of the city. Amidst the hail of guns and arrows, the Tatars howled repeatedly.

The Tatars in front fell down, and the Tatars behind for unknown reasons continued to surge forward and fell at the gate of Wengcheng one after another.

Soon, the gate of the urn city was blocked by the Tatar corpses that were piled higher and higher. The Tatars behind were unable to move forward. In desperation, they had no choice but to give up attacking the city gate and continued to attack the city wall...

The fierce fighting lasted from morning to evening.

The setting sun is setting in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.

These people who are fighting madly have not stopped yet.

Up and down the city wall, corpses were already strewn everywhere, blood flowed into rivers, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.

After holding on until now, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

The Tatars were outnumbered and strong. One group fell, and the next group rushed forward like tigers and wolves.

On this side, the soldiers relied on their strong will and tall and solid walls to support themselves.

Jiang Shiyi had been guarding Lu Zhan closely. Lu Zhan was concentrating on shooting arrows. She dropped her shield and blocked the sharp arrows shot by the Tatars under the city wall for Lu Zhan. She also held the pole to prevent the Tatars from coming in at all times. Climb up the nearby city wall.

She is a girl after all, and she is already exhausted at this time, and she only relies on her strong will to support herself.

Seeing Lu Zhan focus on shooting, Jiang Shiyi felt that his heart was filled with pride and stability, and he had to support himself no matter what.

The fighting continued until nightfall, and the Tatars finally retreated.

The retreating Tatars had escaped from their shooting range. Lu Zhan put down his bow and arrows, and his tense nerves could finally relax.

Only then did he realize that his legs were numb from squatting, his hands that had been holding the bow and arrow were very sore, and his neck and back were even stiffer.

Lu Zhan turned around and saw Jiang Shiyi, and felt that all the discomfort in his body immediately disappeared.

Lu Zhan sat by the city wall and waved tiredly. Jiang Shiyi came over and sat down next to him. Both of them were too tired to speak.

After a while, Lu Zhan thought about Jiang Shiyi suddenly running up to the city wall, and felt fear and anger in his heart. His tone was also serious, "Shi Yi, why did you run up to the city wall? Do you know there is someone here?" How dangerous?”

Jiang Shiyi leaned against the city wall weakly, "I'm not the only one who came up. Mrs. Xiao came with many women from the castle. I've said it before, we are no worse than men. What you men do, we Women can do this too! If you can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, so can we!"

Lu Zhan looked at Jiang Shiyi, whose hair was messy, her face was dark, her cotton coat had several cuts and was stained with blood, and he felt heartbroken and grateful.

She has always been a strong girl with personality.

If she hadn't arrived in time, he would have been dead or disabled.

If she hadn't been guarding him all the time, he wouldn't have been able to shoot the Tatars without any distractions.

Lu Zhan couldn't help laughing when he saw Jiang Shiyi's dark face. He stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from Jiang Shiyi's face. After wiping it clean, Jiang Shiyi sat against him, After a while, he looked and saw that Jiang Shiyi had fallen asleep!
Lu Zhan's heart was full of pity and he leaned towards her. Jiang Shiyi fell asleep on his shoulder. Lu Zhan looked at her face and felt pity in his heart. Why should she follow him and suffer like this?
Lu Zhan sat still, and Jiang Shiyi kept leaning on his shoulder and fell asleep. However, the weather was too cold and she would get sick if she slept like this. Lu Zhan couldn't help but wake her up again.

Jiang Shiyi was so tired that he couldn't even stand up. Lu Zhan helped her up...

At this moment, torches were lit up and down the city wall.

Under the bright lights, some military households and soldiers were looking for their relatives, and everywhere was filled with the sounds of calling father and mother, laughing or crying.

Those who found their loved ones immediately hugged each other excitedly, expressing joy and tears for the rest of their lives.

Those whose relatives had died in the battle suddenly collapsed to the ground, holding the bodies and wailing loudly.

There are also some who have never been able to find their relatives. They hold torches in fear and look around while shouting in confusion, their voices full of despair, sad and sad.

Xiao Shao, Chen Wei and other officials stood on the top of the city, watching the tragic scenes of human tragedy up and down the city wall, and felt deeply in their hearts.

Just one day ago, these young men were lively and heroic, but now they were lying lifelessly on the cold ground, ending their young lives and never being able to open their eyes again.

With a heavy heart, Xiao Shao slowly walked down the city wall with slow steps, followed by Meng Danyang and a group of officials.

When they arrived at the city, the official in charge of managing war supplies came over to ask for instructions, "Sir, there is not much equipment left in the fort. It is better to remove the armor and weapons from these dead soldiers and use them again."

Xiao Shao was silent for a while and nodded silently.

As a result, a small group of soldiers and military households began to search for weapons and equipment that could be reused.

They first stripped off the Tatars' armor and took off their weapons.

When he started to take off the armor of the dead soldiers, he was blocked.

Uncle Sun hugged a young corpse with tears streaming down his face and refused to let go. He kept cursing: "No one is allowed to touch my Erlang."

He stretched out his hand like a dead branch, tremblingly touched the lifeless face of the young soldier, and cried, "Erlang, please open your eyes quickly. Your mother is still waiting for you at home. She made your favorite food." Noodles...your wife just got pregnant, what will she do if you leave?"

Uncle Sun wept with blood, which made those who heard it cry and those who heard it were sad.

The second son was selected as an auxiliary soldier and was hacked to death by the Tatars.

For a time, the relatives of other dead soldiers also hugged their relatives tightly and cried, and the sad sounds echoed over the entire Mighty Fort.

Meng Danyang, who stood silently next to Xiao Shao, wiped the tears from her eyes. She slowly walked to Uncle Sun, squatted down and took out her handkerchief to gently wipe the dust and blood on the face of Erlang Sun.

Uncle Sun stopped crying and looked at her blankly.

Meng Danyang said softly: "Uncle, your Erlang is a good son. He died for the country in order to protect us. Each of us will always be grateful to him. However, the danger is still not over for us now, and we have to put him through Only by continuing to wear this armor, kill the enemy on his behalf, and avenge him can we comfort his spirit in heaven!"

Uncle Sun looked at his son in silence for a long time. After a long time, he wiped away his tears, stretched out his hand to gently take off his armor, and murmured: "Erlang, dad will take off your armor and touch your wound." Don't be afraid of pain. If you are alive in heaven, bless the person who wears this armor with you and let him avenge you!"

Following his lead, other military households also cried quietly while taking off their relatives' armor.
