    Chapter 48 Miracle (12) Under the city wall, several ladders erected were cut down, and the soldiers who attacked the city were driven down, and they just gathered towards this oar and shield formation.  Anyone who dared to penetrate inside and disrupt the array, disturbing the soldiers who were digging the city wall under the shield, would be cut down and stabbed to death without mercy.  These skirmishers did not dare to retreat and could not advance. They were able to wander around. The ones with bows and crossbows were able to fire a few arrows at the city. The others just gritted their teeth and waited for death. The mess pouring down from the city was not only  If it falls on oneself, even if one's fate falls on oneself - if it falls on oneself - fighting for several days at Yizhou City, which is like a hell on earth, what difference does it make if you live a few more days or a few less days?  Dong Dalang had already rushed under the city wall in person. He was only wearing half armor, and his arms and legs were unprotected except for his chest and back.  Together with his soldiers, he worked hard to dig out the city's roots close to the edge of the city.  In the previous few days of fighting, the city wall had long been dug like a giant rat's nest.  After the heavy rain, there were even more slumps.  The defenders on the city took advantage of the night to hang ropes down and filled a lot of the city with gravel and large trees.  At this time, Dong Dalang's troops were digging out like crazy.  ¡°Everyone is acting like a monkey, even Dong Dalang is no exception.  He got into the edge of the city and kept loosening the rammed earth city foundation.  More people put them in baskets, held them with their hands, and threw them desperately outside.  From the oar shields that protected them, there were constant dull crashing sounds, and there was also the sound of large buckets of boiling water pouring down. Many people were burned by the boiling water flowing down between the gaps in the oar shields and screamed, but there was no  One person slowed down his steps.  The battle around Yizhou was too brutal.  Dong Dalang had four to five thousand troops, plus the common people.  There have been six to seven thousand casualties these days, and the area around Yizhou has long been turned into a mass grave.  Dong Dalang's subordinates have long lost their sense of the difference between life and death. In such troubled times, dying early is not a blessing!  Instead of retreating and dying under the bows and arrows of the Khitans and Xi people who were just supervising the formation, it is better to die in Yizhou City, with the brothers around you, maybe they can breathe a sigh of relief after the city is broken!  Various shouts of panic also came from the city, and the arrows of the Khitan Army's Xi Army covering the attack did not stop pouring towards the city head for a moment.  A huge shield had been erected on the city for a long time, and people were shooting arrows, throwing stones and pouring boiling water down, all while sticking their heads out of the huge shield.  The arrows fired by the Khitan Army's Xi Army were too dense.  To expose your body a little is to walk through the gates of hell.  From time to time, someone was shot down, landing heavily on the oar shield.  What flowed down the cracks in the oar shield was not just boiling water, but also blood!  It¡¯s nothing more than the Khitan people ridiculing people¡¯s dense arrows.  The troops attacking the city in the past few days have also tried to make catapults.  It is a pity that Xiao Qian only came with a large group of cavalry. Although it was light, the baggage column returned to Yanjing.  Most of the food for the army came from looting.  It would be too difficult for them to rely on these cavalry to set up catapults.  It was a waste of a lot of huge wood, and not a single big stone was sent out.  Shooting arrows at the top of the city is nothing more than casualties. At this time, human life has become the most worthless thing.  As long as the city wall remains, there will be hope for Yizhou!  Dong Dalang came in person, bringing with him his own soldiers who had not moved lightly in the past few days, to exert their last strength.  I just heard the sound of digging under the city. Yizhou city wall is not very thick to begin with. As long as more than half of it is dug in, the rammed earth will become soft after the rain, and the city wall may collapse!  The guards on the city were just running around, trying to break up the shield formation below.  However, Dong Dalang got into the edge of the city and fought for his life. No matter how he poured out all the firepower towards the city, the oar shield could not break up.  Later, the city became more and more panicked, and the shouts became one!  ¡« "Da Lang, Da Lang, come out quickly! The city wall is about to collapse, don't fill it in!" A veteran climbed into the hole under the wall using his hands and feet.  This caveman can bend his back and crawl on his hands and feet inside.  It was crowded with soldiers, but the veteran just pushed them in both directions.  The soil above was falling straight down.  When we dug here, we found dry soil that had been compacted for hundreds of years. It fell like powder and was poured all over people's heads and faces.  Even the centuries-old rammed earth is shaking and falling. It can be seen that the city foundation is already shaky and there is no telling when it will collapse!  The veteran climbed into the innermost area and saw Dong Dalang standing at the front. At this time, the hoe and shovel could no longer be used. Dong Dalang was just digging into the soil with his own sword. His whole body was completely the color of earth.  He pulled hard, and Dong Dalang turned around with an extremely fierce expression: "What are you doing here? Supervise the soldiers to occupy this city base to prevent Guo Pharmacist from counterattack!"  However, he ignored Dong Dalang's order and dragged him out: "We cannot miss you, Dalang! This city wall is about to collapse! It's just a matter of dying in battle, it's not worth it to be buried inside! You are commanding the soldiers outside."  Cover us, I'll dig through the city foundation! I'll just fill in the city, but you can't die!" Dong Dalang shook him off fiercely: "I knowWhen is the time to quit!  Is there any way for our army to retreat?  If you want to survive, you have to be more willing to die than others!  You go out and take command. There is no way the city can sit back and watch us succeed in digging the city. Neither Guo Yaoshi nor Zhen Wuchen have any way out!  " ~ It is indeed the last moment on the city. Guo Yaoshi's troops are also suffering heavy casualties. The soldiers have almost exhausted their last strength and drained the last drop of blood. Most of the people in the city have also been injured. Now they are carrying broken pieces at the top of the city.  Stone, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows, there were many women and children, but they were silently transferring their guards at the top of the city. They were also shot down at the top of the city without saying a word. The blood had covered the city wall, and they were sizzling under the city.  The rammed earth was almost used up, and the large groups of wounded soldiers were just rolling around and wailing under the city wall, waiting for their turn to go out and pour stones and water under the city wall.  The sound of shouting came directly from the bottom of the feet, but there was no panic on the guard's face - he was really numb from the battle. The offensive and defensive sides had been under the same banner for a year, but now they were fighting for their lives.  In front of the Liao people, they covered this small Yizhou with their own flesh and blood! There was no way to retreat, and there were no reinforcements from the Song Dynasty that the eldest lady Guo Yaoshi and Zhen Wuchen said.  How could the soldiers cross the Baigou River northward, go hundreds of miles deep, and appear near Yizhou in such a short period of time? Not to mention the overwhelming number of cavalry led by King Xiao Qian around Yizhou. This is a dead end!  . It just depends on how to die. Everyone formed an army with hungry people and moved to Liaodong. In such troubled times, no one could think of dying on the city.  The counterattack gradually became scattered, and only a few generals were still shouting at the top of their lungs, asking the soldiers to stick out their heads to fight back. But they were already short of defense equipment. How could Zhen Wuchen only have one left to fight with his own life?  The right arm walked from one end to the other, shouting at the top of his lungs: "The Khitan dog only has the ability to drive Dong Dalang up to die, and he doesn't dare to touch the city wall!  They are also guarding against the reinforcements brought by the eldest lady!  The reinforcements have already passed Laishui and will arrive soon!  Dong Dalang alone was crying and shouting that he wanted to be taken care of as his son. Are we afraid of him?  Two more days, two more days!  At that time, if every brother has enough money, Da Song will give it to him!  Let¡¯s also go to Bianliang to have a look!  Look at what Bianliang women look like when they play!  At that time, everyone will have a stable meal and I will marry you a girl to make a home!  " He roared bravely, but he knew in his heart that he was in despair. But even if he died in front of Dong Dalang, a beast with a backbone, it would be better than bending his knees to survive! The sound of digging under the city became more and more intense, although he was bleeding fast at the top of the city.  I shouted out, but the soldiers' counterattack became increasingly weak, as if they were waiting for the city wall to collapse and Dong Dalang's troops to rush in!  There was a sudden noise under the city wall. Zhen Wuchen looked with red eyes and saw that it was the last few dozen soldiers left by Medicine Master Guo, holding large shields and walking towards the city along the mounds of dirt outside.  The city wall was only ten feet high. When they saw the movement, locust-like feather arrows came straight at them. The soldiers just huddled behind their shields and slowly walked toward the city to protect themselves.  After staying in the city for days and nights without sleep, who had the energy to keep wearing heavy armor? Besides, there was not much armor left to protect Yizhou.  , there is no need. But these few personal soldiers that Medical Master Guo has at his side are all wearing heavy armor, but they have two long knives on their waists, and they all carry a bundle of ropes.  Zhen Wuchen watched them move to the top of the city. The front row held up their shields and spread out to both sides. Everyone hid behind the giant shields erected behind the battlements. They dropped their shields and just took off the ropes to fasten the battlements behind them.  , there were dozens of people carrying steaming vats, and even from a distance, the heat was still overwhelming. Boiled water had been poured all over the city. For no other reason than that, everything that could be burned in the city was burned.  Now, I don¡¯t know why more than a dozen large barrels appeared! What surprised Zhen Wuchen most was that Pharmacist Guo was also in the queue. He was also covered in armor. His face was so thin that his cheekbones were bulging.  He just held on to a spear and hid behind the giant shield at the top of the city under the cover of his own soldiers. Zhen Wuchen rushed over in one step: "Don't worry, why are you coming up again?  Didn't I say that I'm here at the top of the city, and if the sky falls, you'll just take care of yourself?  " " Pharmacist Guo's injury is serious, and he can only keep it from getting worse these days. The pressure of the war is heavy, and there is no news about Guo Rong Xiaoyan. The ability to survive is due to his physical strength, which is different from ordinary people in the past. Now he is wearing heavy armor and holding a spear.  As for going up the city wall, I was really forced to the end.??moment!
