The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 988 Luo Yi carried the coffin to battle Mingzhou

Regarding Luo Yi's move, Su Dingfang had expected it a long time ago. After capturing his son, can I not stand up angrily?It's just that Su Dingfang didn't expect Luo Yi to come so quickly.

After hearing the news, Su Dingfang hurriedly took Qu Tutong and others to the top of the city to watch.

On the horizon in the distance, countless small black dots appeared. The black dots were as big as ants moving.Later, war horses, human figures, knives, and flags were seen for the first time, but they were all as small as children's toys.The sky is filled with dust, covering the sky and the sun.

Su Dingfang knew that the war was about to come, so he gave orders to withdraw all the troops of the rebel army into the city, to avoid their sharp edge, stick to the city, and not to fight.

Qu Tu channel: "Does the commander have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Our army strength is less than [-], and Luo Yi has [-] troops, plus Yanyun's [-] cavalry, the enemy is strong and we are weak, Luo Yi is eager to save his son, so we must fight to the death, these are too bad for us , we can only avoid the enemy, not fight hard.”

"Marshal, retreat quickly, the last general will stay and defend the city." Qu Tutong suggested.

"General Qu Tu, I was ordered by the prince to sit here for more than three years. Now we have no way out, only this small town is left."

What Su Dingfang meant was that Mingshui County had already been lost, and there was only Mingzhou County left. Of course, it was not impossible to retreat. Wei County and Li Yang had to retreat, but Mingshui was the frontier that Yang Yong entrusted him to garrison. How can you just give up?

"Then we will swear to defend the city to the death and live and die with Mingzhou!" Qu Tutong gritted his teeth.

Soon there was the sound of thousands of horses hitting the ground, and the ground trembled.

The [-] Tang troops rushed to the city like a whirlwind, neither set up camp nor went down to the village, and directly surrounded the small county of Mingzhou with three floors inside and three floors outside, and nothing could get through.

To Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong's surprise, Tang Jun all came with coffins this time, and countless white coffins lined up behind Tang Jun. This scene added a mighty and tragic atmosphere to Tang Jun.

It turns out that this time, Luo Yi not only lost Mingshui County, but also smashed the military pot, lost dry food, tents, etc. to Mingshui County, and even brought the coffin. determination.

At this moment, Luo Yi rode his horse and carried his gun to the outside of the city. Behind him, all the eighteen riders of Yanyun followed closely behind him. Luo Yi immediately looked at the city wall in front of him from the high slope. It was no more than two feet high, and the two broken city gates were closed tightly The paint has peeled off in many places, the city walls are not thick, the wall bricks have been in disrepair for a long time, and they are stained with rust, and many places have fallen off, turning into deep pits.

There is no moat, and there is only a half-dead stinky ditch passing around the city. In fact, this is the drainage system in the city, connected to the Mingshui River.

Don't look at the dilapidated city walls, but looking at the top of the city, the rebels defending the city are neatly lined up, all armed with knives and halberds, full of energy, and ready for battle.On the top of the city, you can see piles of defensive objects such as mountain bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, bricks and so on.The banner of the rebel army fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

Luo Yi read it well enough to know it well, at this moment he caught a glimpse of Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong under the flag on the top of the city wall, both of them were covered in armor, holding their swords and looking at them.

The vertical distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps, and the weather was fine today, the wind was not strong, and the visibility was very high. Luo Yi raised the horse forward and pointed it at the head, and shouted, "Ding Fang, let's let go today." My son Luo Cheng, everything is over, otherwise, neither the old man nor the [-] soldiers plan to go back alive, and kill them in the city without leaving any dogs behind, you should think about it carefully!"

Su Dingfang smiled slightly, "Would King Luo be willing to listen to the next sentence?"

"speak!"

"It's understandable that Luo Wang is eager to save his son, but Luo Cheng didn't listen to others' persuasion and insisted on going his own way, which led to this situation. Even so, Su has done his best to him. For the sake of General Luo Song, Su is just Capture him alive, otherwise, Luo Cheng would have been buried in the Mingshui River long ago. King Luo is a sensible person, so he hastened to surrender. King Yiyong is a wise king through the ages, and he will definitely put aside the previous suspicions and reuse you father and son. Your family can also be reunited and united as one. I will hit a family, why not do it?"

"Shut up!" Su Dingfang was interrupted by Luo Yi as soon as Su Dingfang finished speaking, "Little Huangkou, you actually persuaded this old man. This old man surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. Yong, a rebel from the previous dynasty, a rebellious official and traitor who was not tolerated by his father and brother, everyone got to punish him, and he actually asked the old man to bend his knees and become a thief? Don't mention Luo Song to me. The scum of the sect, the old man has severed the father-son relationship with him, and one day, the old man will clean up the family. There is no need to mention these things, today the old man will ask you a question, whether to let it go or not?"

Su Dingfang saw that Luo Yi and Luo Cheng were indeed father and son, one was more stubborn than the other, so he had to let him go if he couldn't be persuaded, "If King Luo said so, I have nothing to say. As for Luo Cheng, Su has no choice but to arrest him." To tell you the truth, Luo Cheng is no longer in the city. Two days ago, Su sent someone to send him to Bingzhou. Whether to let him go or not is up to King Yiyong to decide. If King Luo is really eager to save his son, he might as well go to Bingzhou and see what King Yiyong has to say."

Luo Yi was furious when he heard this, "My dear fellow, come and attack the city!"

Luo Yi gave an order, and the [-] Tang troops rushed towards Mingzhou City shouting overwhelmingly. The archers and the city-climbing death squad rushed to the front, followed by the crashing vehicles and the catapults, one after another like raging waves. Flock to this small town.

The small city of Mingzhou boiled for a while.

Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong commanded the rebel soldiers guarding the city to rise up and fight back. For a while, the two sides shot at each other, but the rebels were condescending. In addition to bows and arrows, there were stones, bricks, rolling logs, etc. available. Things poured down from the top of the city like raindrops.

For a time, the Tang army was hit by arrows, stones and bricks, hit by rolling logs, ladders that were broken in mid-air, and those who were pushed down by rebels and cut off the top of the city, countless.

But despite this, the Tang army was extremely brave, and a group of people died, and another group rushed up.

They failed to attack the top of the city even after several times of attack. Even if a few Tang troops rushed to the top of the city by chance, they were still led by Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong. The battle was extremely fierce.

After several charges down, both sides suffered heavy losses. The city was already full of corpses, especially at the base of the city wall. The corpses piled up so high that blood flowed like a river.

Luo Yi had put all his eggs in one basket, and still ordered his men to charge forward. Later, he personally supervised the battle with Yanyun Eighteen Riders. After two days and two nights of fierce fighting, the city of Mingzhou was broken, and the Tang army finally entered the city.

However, the rebels did not retreat, and Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong led the generals and the Tang army to start a fierce street battle in the city.

But they were outnumbered, and Luo Yi and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry were brave and invincible. Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong's troops couldn't resist at all, and they fought fiercely for a long time. In the afternoon, only a few thousand troops of Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong were compressed. At the north gate, it is completely impossible for Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong to break through and retreat now. It is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

Su Dingfang and Qu Tutong looked at it, and felt cold. It seems that today they really will live and die with Mingzhou City.
