[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 259 [English]

Chapter 248 Nameless

The Biansha cavalry who came to raid the west gate did not expect that there were such light cavalry hidden in Duanzhou City. They rode the same ponies as themselves, advancing and retreating freely in the dark world.

Shen Zechuan is the white bird among the crows. His clean blade cut through the morning light and he said before the second round of charge: “Back off.”

Ding Tao guided the people to evacuate. The gate of the west gate had been broken, and this place was about to become a battlefield.Li Xiong picked up Gao Zhongxiong and took Kong Ling and Yao Wenyu to follow the people.

The Jin Yiqi stood neatly in front of the door. They were few in number, but they were the absolute elite of Zhongbo at present.The garrison who was still alive at Ximen did not dare to neglect and pushed the substitute car gable at the foot of the city.This kind of movable wall filled with lime mortar is not as thick as a city gate, and a strong bow can be placed in the recessed area.

The rainbow eagle flag is ringing, and the Biansha cavalry is already beating its drums.The cylindrical drum was deafening, and the pony was pawing its hooves to gain momentum. They didn’t give Ximen a chance to repair, and launched a second round of charge ahead of the Jin Yiqi amidst the sound of the drum.

The sound of horse hooves was like a sudden rain, causing the ground to shake slightly, gravel to jump, and dust to hit the face immediately.The Biansha cavalry were as fast and furious as hungry leopards.

Qiao Tianya’s horse was right behind Feng Dushuangyi. He tightened the reins and said: “Get ready——”

Jin Yiqi seemed to be in trance. The wind blew across their cheeks, but did not take away any sound. It was as if even their breath had disappeared.The leading cavalry crossed the distance and approached Shen Zechuan at a gallop.Shen Zechuan smelled the strong smell of the cavalry’s sweat, and even saw the ferocious look on the cavalry’s face.

Time seemed to stand still.

The next moment, Shen Zechuan rushed out with his sword drawn, and when Feng Dushuangyi crashed into the cavalry forward, he said: “Kill the enemy!”

Kill the enemy!

The Jinyi cavalry were like a storm of dark clouds, and they collided fiercely with the Biansha cavalry in the city gate passage.Steel swords and scimitars clashed with each other. Ximen had no tactics to speak of. The only way was to kill the enemy. Only by defeating the cavalry head-on could the Duanzhou defense battle continue.Shen Zechuan must rush to the front and use such a brutal method to unite the hearts of Duanzhou.

The cavalry blocked the passage and blocked the light. The two sides crowded here and killed each other loudly.The blood splattered around him soaked Shen Zechuan’s sleeves. He slashed at the enemy in front of him with his sword, and the morning light shone on his cheek, dripping with blood and sweat.Fu Jun’s eyes were sinister, and he knocked down the cavalry with an unstoppable momentum and rushed forward.

This Biansha Cavalry was a sneak attack team that circled back. They were defeated by the Jinyi Cavalry with high morale and retreated steadily in the passage.They suffered greatly in both encounters and eventually had to withdraw from the channel.The garrison acted according to the opportunity and pushed the gable wall with all their strength, blocking the broken city gate when Shen Zechuan retreated.

The wheels of the chariot made a “clatter” sound, and the garrison pushing against the wall shouted: “There are not enough bows and arrows!”

Shen Zechuan reined in his horse, and the snow on his back hung on his side, with blood dripping all the way.He said: “Put down the spare boom door.”

The garrison at the top of the city dragged the rope, and the hanging door crashed to the ground with the sound of gears grinding, blocking the inside of the passage.This is Duanzhou’s second-layer defensive wall, specially designed to deal with this situation.

Shen Zechuan’s right hand couldn’t hold the knife tightly, and his fingers would ache whenever he stopped.he touched his sleeve pocket and found only Xiao Chiye’s blue handkerchief.He wrapped the handle of Yang Shanxue’s knife and his palm with a blue handkerchief, and pinched his fingers to ensure that the knife would not fall out of his hand.

“Right now, call the north and south gates,” Shen Zechuan said, “and put down all the spare hanging doors.”

Amul had Zhongbo’s military map seven years ago, and he knew Duan and Dunzhou very well. Judging from Hasen’s tactics of rapid raids and precise hitting points, he must have also seen Zhongbo’s military map. Since Duanzhou has become an isolated city, it is unwise to guard the east gate alone.

“If you put down the spare hanging door, you will never be able to get out.” Qiao Tianya looked at the morning light rising on the city wall, “The wolf smoke tower has not been lit yet.”

“Someone will light the beacon towers in Dun and Luo,” Shen Zechuan clenched his hands. “The east gate is still open. As long as the beacon towers near the border counties are lit again, the reinforcements from the border counties will arrive.”

Ha Sen must have used some method to hold Xiao Chiye back, but Xiao Chiye would definitely come, so Ha Sen chose to attack quickly. He wanted to fight quickly, break Duanzhou before Xiao Chiye arrived with reinforcements, seize the granary before running away, and he didn’t want to have a head-on confrontation with Xiao Chiye in Zhongbo.

Yin Chang led the garrison to kill a group of infantry and then retreat. As long as he blocked the infantry and set up a passage board, the east gate would not be immediately attacked by the cavalry.

“Back off, back off! Don’t be so hesitant, we’re going to fight a protracted war with these sons of bitches.” Yin Chang wiped the blood from his face and kicked the slow-moving garrison’s butt.

All four gates of Duanzhou must be guarded, which is a difficult problem for the 20,000 garrison.If Yin Chang wants to buy time, his garrison must withstand the cavalry charge, and before the cavalry charge, he must be able to withstand the infantry while conserving his physical strength.

The garrison retreated into the city, and Yin Chang was the last group. When he was about to cross Haogou, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and he suddenly broke out in cold sweat.Relying on his battle-hardened insight, the old man rolled on the spot and shouted: “Draw the sword!”

The crescent-shaped scimitar hooked straight through the spot where Yin Chang’s neck was just now.

The old man touched his neck with lingering fear and shouted at the visitor: “Why don’t you say hello!”

Zhuo Li couldn’t understand Yin Chang’s words, he’s powerful horse hoofs had already stepped in front of Yin Chang, and Yin Chang continued to roll, rolling away dust all over his body.

Zhuo Li said happily: “Smart prey.”

Yin Chang couldn’t understand Zhuo Li’s words either. He supported the ground with one hand and held the knife on the back of the other hand, and he and Zhuo Li had a strange confrontation at the edge of Haogou.

Brutal.

Yin Chang wiped his red nose with his earthy thumb and defined Zhuo Li.He’s eyes are as silent as the sky here, and all the noise can’t shake him.He touches the earth, which is completely different from the noisy appearance. He always shows unparalleled calmness in critical moments.

“You,” Yin Chang’s deep voice was slightly hoarse, the old man said firmly, “I went to Cizhou seven years ago.”

Zhuo Li understood the word “Cizhou”, and he pointed at Yin Chang with a machete, and said in poor Zhou dialect: “I have been there, and I brought this knife with me.”

Yin Chang’s gray hair was blown by the strong wind. The old man kicked off his feet and jumped out. Then he jumped up and swung the knife towards Zhuo Li’s head.Zhuo Li blocked with his sword, but the horse beneath him was forced back a few steps by Yin Chang’s force.

Zhuo Li said keenly: “Do you recognize me?”

Yin Chang’s palms trembled slightly when he landed. He slid away and suddenly laughed: “I recognize you, but you don’t recognize me. Seven years ago in Cizhou, I watched you burn down the houses and massacre the whole city…” He’s expression suddenly became cold, “You took away their heads.”

Zhuo Li half-listened and half-guessed, and when Yin Chang finished speaking, he took off the hemp rope on the side of his leg, where the head of the Chashi River scout was hanging.He picked it up, threw it to Yin Chang, and said in Biansha: “I don’t want it anymore, I want your head.”

The heads rolled at Yin Chang’s feet. They were all young faces. Yin Chang looked at these faces and then looked at Zhuo Li.

he looked at Zhuo Li quietly.

But Zhuo Li felt that the beast in this old body was roaring.

“You should give dignity to those who died in battle,” Yin Chang said, “you beasts.”

Fei Sheng followed the garrison to disperse the people. He stood on the street and hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran back to the east gate.Hearing the sound of horse hooves on the way, Fei Sheng turned around and saw Shen Zechuan riding towards the east gate with a brocade horse.

“Get on the horse!” Qiao Tianya threw the riding whip hanging by his side to Fei Sheng.

Fei Sheng caught the riding whip, slowed down his pace, and turned over when the empty horse ran past him.He grabbed the reins and asked Qiao Tianya: “How is Ximen?”

“Broken.”

Fei Sheng’s expression changed.

Qiao Tianya continued: “Fu Jun is blocked again.”

Fei Sheng couldn’t help but cursed: “Can you fucking finish speaking!”

Qiao Tianya laughed loudly, and the two of them followed Shen Zechuan and continued to gallop eastward. When they arrived in front of the city gate, they saw that the city gate was wide open and the garrison had not yet withdrawn.

Shen Zechuan dismounted and strode to the top of the city. When he reached the middle, he was hit by intensive bombardment and stopped.he brushed away the floating dust and said: “Is there still a female wall?”

“There are not many left,” Fei Sheng covered his ears and shouted, “The cavalry has been replaced by single-shooter cannons!”

Shen Zechuan’s heart sank slightly. Hasen was going to use continuous bombardment to destroy the defensive wall on the east side of Duanzhou.He looked down along the wall stacks and saw that the cavalry had reached not far from Haogou.

“Open the gate and release the water,” Shen Zechuan’s face seemed to be sinking, “the cavalry is about to charge.”

“Open the gate -” Fei Sheng ran towards the south and choked on the dust in the middle of shouting. He covered his mouth and nose, and suddenly thought of something, grabbed the garrison on the side and asked: “Why haven’t you closed the city gate yet? The cavalry is about to charge!”

The garrison coughed and replied: “The commander, the commander hasn’t withdrawn yet!”

Fei Sheng was startled. He ignored the heavy stones flying around and grabbed the city wall to look down.There were too many soldiers and horses mixed underneath, and he struggled to find Yin Chang among them.

“Go back to the city…”

Yin Chang’s knife caught Zhuo Li’s scimitar, and the two sides sawed each other on the flat ground. The old man’s feet slipped, he shouted and backed away, and saw the cavalry rushing over with his peripheral vision.

We can’t fight for long!

Yin Chang immediately let go of his strength, and the knife fell along the gap of the scimitar. He stretched out his arm to grab the handle of the knife, and ran towards Haogou.The sluice gates on both sides of the city wall have not yet been opened, waiting for the garrison to return to the city.But Yin Chang felt his back was hot while he was running, and he shouted loudly while rolling forward: “Close the door——!”

The cavalry rushing behind were not here to charge at all. They took advantage of the city gate not being closed and poured out the tits with their tails lit from their pockets.The birds squawked in panic, their bags were on fire, and they swarmed across the ditch and crashed into the city gate.

The hanging door in the city gate passage is made of wood. Once it catches fire, the defense of the east gate will be gone.

Yin Chang stopped in front of Haogou and jumped up suddenly. However, Zhuo Li from behind rushed forward, hooked Yin Chang’s robe, and dragged Yin Chang to the ground with a “stab” sound.

Yin Chang stabbed his knife into the ground, stabilized his body being pulled by the horse, and yelled at the city gate at the top of his lungs: “Close the door, turn on the water!”

“Fuck, fuck!” Fei Sheng jumped down the steps with his arms and pushed the crowd towards the passage. “Wait a minute, I will kill your ancestors!”

The fire sparrow hit the city gate, and the clothes of the garrison were already on fire. Everyone rolled to extinguish the fire and ran towards the inside of the passage.There are water bags at the foot of the inner city to put out fires, but there are too many fire sparrows. If we don’t close the door, the hanging door will also catch fire!

Shen Zechuan was in the room, his throat was dry, his eyes were stung by the sunrise in the east in the dust, and he said: “Close the door.”

The city gate moved with a muffled sound, but Fei Sheng was still squeezed in the crowd behind him. He was like a duckweed flowing against the current, unable to grasp the life-saving straw that could support him.The light in the passage began to converge, and the garrison that squeezed in blocked Fei Sheng’s vision. He could not see outside, let alone the other side of Haogou.

“Don’t close the door…” Fei Sheng pushed away the garrison desperately and said as fast as he could in his life, “Don’t close the door!”

The city gate slammed shut, and the passage became completely dark.The water storage gates on both sides were suddenly raised, and the unfinished Haogou barely held the water, drawing a boundary between the city gate and the cavalry.

Shen Zechuan suddenly raised his voice: “Put out the fire!”

Yin Chang couldn’t bear the strength and was dragged backward by the horse.He dragged the knife, rubbed it on the ground, tore off the wine bag at his waist amidst the sound of horse hooves, bit it open and filled his face with wine.Yin Chang threw away the wine bag, wiped his face, smiled towards the sky and said: “I’ll be there soon!”

Fei Sheng knelt down in front of the city gate, scratched the gap with his hands, gritted his teeth and said: “Open the door——!”

Shen Zechuan pursed his lips tightly and looked at Yin Chang, his eyes red.

Fei Sheng scratched his hands in the gap between the iron sheets and his hands were bloody. He smashed and banged on the door, saying: “Open the door, open the door for me!”

Zhuo Li put a riding crop around Yin Chang’s neck and used his arm strength to pull the old man up.Yin Chang was still holding the knife, but he was stuck and couldn’t stand on the ground. He looked at Zhuo Li, choked and said: “Give it a, give it a good time!”

Zhuo Li’s scimitar was placed on the back of Yin Chang’s neck. When he was hooking forward, Yin Chang jumped forward.The old man used Zhuo Li’s raised arm and gave up trying to pull the whip from his neck. The sharp edge of the steel knife he turned over appeared. He almost twisted his body, and while roaring, he carried the blade with his forearm, and scraped off Zhuo Li’s head before Zhuo Li hooked his own head off.

Yin Chang fell to the ground, with a riding crop tied tightly in front of his neck. He breathed heavily through his nose, supported the ground with his elbows, and crawled a little toward Duanzhou, with the tide of iron hooves behind him.

Nobody.

Yin Chang laughed out loud and started crying again.

Xiao Sheng.

Yin Chang gasped for breath and shouted to the city gate, his voice filling the sky: “Master Fu, I think this day will be a great victory!”

The horse’s hooves buried the old man with a crash.

Fei Sheng stood across the city gate, and after a brief silence, he knocked on the iron sheet, slid down the thin light, and began to cry the door number.
