[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 260 [English]
byChapter 249 Wheel
The ramming fire sparrows were all blocked from the door, and the garrison did not stop. They rushed in the passage, dragging spare water bags and pouring water on the city gate just in case.
The Biansha cavalry on the other side of Haogou was furious at Zhuo Li’s body. Zhuo Li was the four-legged snake who followed Amul deep into Zhongbo seven years ago, and was a gift from Amul to Hasen. It was precisely because of He that Hasen was able to cut off Duanzhou’s external contacts in just a few days.
“Tug him away!” The cavalryman looked at Duanzhou City Gate, “This reckless and stupid waste… cheer up! We must find a way to cross this ditch before Hasen arrives!”
Yin Chang removed the passage board and killed the infantry pushing the lead car, leaving the Biansha cavalry in a brief panic facing Haogou, leaving a chance for the garrison in the city to breathe.However, Duanzhou’s Haogou is not yet a moat. The square bricks at both ends are not solid in order to connect with the Haogou on the north and south sides. This ditch cannot remain full for a long time.All the sluice gates have been opened and the water has been emptied. Even if Haogou can persist, the Biansha Cavalry will soon find a way to cross the ditch.
Before dark, the East Gate will definitely receive a charge from the Biansha Cavalry.
“Prepare heavy stones,” Shen Zechuan tilted his head and said to Qiao Tianya, “Push the crossbow onto the wall!”
The garrison under the city pushed the bed crossbow with all their strength and tried their best to move up along the wider passage.The cavalry’s single-shot cannon continued to attack, and heavy stones were thrown at the city wall, which had already opened a gap in the east wall. Broken bricks and stones mixed with mud fell down, and several wall stacks collapsed.The garrison had to hold its head to avoid it, and used its body to press the crossbow on the bed that was sliding down.
The garrison couldn’t bear the gravity, and everyone was pressed down by the crossbow. Their heels scraped against the ground and they slid down. They could only shout: “It’s too heavy!”
Qiao Tianya jumped over the steps and went to help him, but he saw a commoner sinking his body slightly and raising his arms to support the place where the crossbow slid down on the bed.Ji Gang’s white hair was stained with gray, and he shouted in a deep voice: “Get up—!”
The garrison felt a lightness on his back, and the veins on Ji Gang’s forehead twitched slightly. He stepped forward and let the bed crossbow move slowly up the slope.When the bed crossbow was in place, Ji Gang’s arms were shaking and his back was soaked with sweat.
It was Si hour, the sun was shining high, sweat mixed with choking dust covered his face, and there were running soldiers everywhere.Don’t dare to shoot the bows and arrows on the wall stacks recklessly, as the enemy is likely to induce consumption, so they should wait until the cavalry charges.The same goes for the bed crossbow. This killing weapon cannot be moved easily. It must kill with one blow, just like Yin Chang killed Zhuo Li, it must cause pain to the cavalry.
“The garrison is divided into lines. Three teams are divided into three gates. Let Jinyi ride at the east gate and stand by.” Shen Zechuan raised the hand holding the knife and wiped the sweat from his cheek with the back of his hand. “The remaining three gates must be blocked before dark.”
Duanzhou’s granaries are abundant. If they want to attack Duanzhou, the cavalry can besiege Duanzhou for a long time and consume Duanzhou’s granaries. Duanzhou will be trapped for several months and Duanzhou will be exhausted.But Hazen wanted to fight quickly, so he would not resort to a long siege. The cavalry had been attacking vigorously from last night to now. If there was a stalemate at the east gate, the cavalry would probably go around the other three gates and make a sideways attack like they did when they attacked the west gate.
Shen Zechuan put down the hanging doors at the remaining three gates for defense, but this was not a long-term solution, because the cavalry had siege equipment, and the crash cart carrying thick wood could directly break through the city gates, and then break through the hanging doors, allowing the cavalry to enter the city smoothly.
“Kerosene and stones,” Shen Zechuan said, “then tear down the collapsed watchtowers in the city, and let the garrison guarding the three gates bring all the things that can be used for defense on the wall. Whenever they see the cavalry, they blow the horns and throw down debris to stop them from charging.”
We have to find a way to get out of the city as soon as possible.
Shen Zechuan looked to the southeast skyline, where the Wolf Yantai was silent.

The gentlemen were all gathered at the racecourse, which was open and could accommodate several groups of people in the city.Gao Zhongxiong finally regained his composure, leaned over and rubbed his calf, and said to Kong Ling: “Just now, that situation just now…”
When he got anxious, he stuttered again.
Kong Ling comforted him and said: “It doesn’t matter. Shenwei still took Yuan Zhuo away at that time, which is already commendable. When I was in Dunzhou in the early years, when I learned that the cavalry had entered the city, I really didn’t care about anything.”
Yao Wenyu clutched her sleeve, her thoughts interrupted by a hand in the silence. He looked over and saw the woman just now calling her child to return the veil.Yao Wenyu raised his hand, but did not take the handkerchief. He stretched out his dust-stained fingers and lightly touched the child’s cheek.
alive.
Yao Wenyu’s chest rose and fell slightly.
There were heavy footsteps at the edge of the racecourse, and the garrison troops were rushing past to get to the top of the wall.
“Supply Ximen with bows and arrows!” The leading young general inserted his knife back and carried the debris with his bare hands, “Leave the collapsed watchtower to us!”
“It’s not enough,” the soldier on the wall replied, “It’s just a building that collapsed. It’s not enough!”
Duanzhou has a lot of defensive equipment, and the armaments depot has been emptied, mainly to support the east gate, and the other three gates can only pick up the remaining ones for distribution.The bows and arrows were consumed by the Biansha infantry in the morning, and they had to make up for the west gate, which was blocked by the gable wall.
What to do?
Suddenly a man stood up on the racecourse. He weighed the old hoe and asked, “Can I throw this away?”
The young general said: “If you throw it away, you won’t return it!”
“Then take it away,” the man said, speaking in Mandarin as best he could. “The city is under siege. If we don’t kill the cavalry, there’s no use keeping this hoe. Are you short of men?”
The garrison did not answer. They had just clashed with the people at the west gate.
Then several people stood up on the racecourse, all of them in their prime. They brought their own farm tools and shouted to the garrison: “Are there any shortages? If so, we are all people!”
***
The cavalry bombardment progressed to You hour, and it was dusk.The east wall was repaired again and again, and the spare female wall was almost destroyed. The cavalry had no intention of stopping. This was a real bombardment, and they would not stop until the east wall was destroyed.
“The single-shot cannons are all made of stones,” Qiao Tianya squatted behind the wall and said to Shen Zechuan, “We are in the wild and there is no shortage of stones. If we continue to fight like this for two days, even if the cavalry cannot charge in Haogou, the city wall will not be able to withstand it.”
“Hasen can’t wait for two days,” Shen Zechuan’s cheeks were dirty, “The cavalry will definitely charge before nightfall.”
The garrison lost Yin Chang, and the cavalry wanted to explore the current depth of the water. The garrison, which had withstood the bombardment for a day, was very tired. This was a good opportunity for the cavalry at this moment.
“After they cross Haogou, we will open the city gate,” Shen Zechuan said. “The garrison will continue to defend the city and let the Jinyi cavalry resist the charge.”
“Fei Sheng and I…”
“You and I,” Shen Zechuan raised his eyes, “You and I alternate. As long as we repel the cavalry charge, we will immediately retreat to the city. Don’t be reluctant to fight.”
The number of cavalry far exceeds that of the Jinyi cavalry, and the steel needle cannot face the axe. As long as Shen Zechuan pierces their momentum, he can maintain a defensive posture.
Qiao Tianya licked his lips and said seriously: “You are a prince, not a general.”
Shen Zechuan didn’t answer. He stood up against the wall and looked at the Tea Stone River across the heavy cavalry under the dim sky.The Tea Stone River is like a jade belt soaked in the sunset, reflecting the magnificent thick clouds, with hunting falcons soaring in it.
Shen Zechuan’s eyes gradually gathered sharpness, and he said: “I am the prince of Zhongbo.”
Before the rose-colored clouds above the Tea Stone River dispersed, the wall at Shen Zechuan’s hand shook.
“Trebuchet!” the garrison on the watchtower shouted loudly, “the cavalry trebuchet is coming!”
The trebuchet that kicked off last night rested for a whole day behind the single-shot cannon and appeared again.The cavalry began to divide their teams, and the cavalry beat drums to quickly deliver information on the battlefield.
Shen Zechuan immediately tore off his cumbersome robe, tightened his single arm, and walked down the steps to the bottom of the city.Feng Tashuangyi waited proudly, he got on his horse and said to Qiao Tianya: “Be wary of the other three gates.”
Qiao Tianya saluted and said loudly: “Master Fu, great victory!”
Shen Zechuan reined in his horse and turned around, facing the passage.Her beautiful face was covered by blood and sweat, but her eyes were still bright.The Jin Yiqi behind them were all breathing steadily, and they also had to fight quickly.
The war horse on the side suddenly sank slightly. Fei Sheng got on the horse and dragged the Xiuchundao at his waist in front of him. He looked at Shen Zechuan with red eyes: “I am Fujun’s guard.” He paused for a moment, drew his sword and raised his voice, “We are Fujun’s shield!”
Shen Zechuan nodded slightly, and Feng Ta Shuang Yi began to step forward.He’s figure gradually entered the passage. In the moment of silence facing the city gate, Shen Zechuan said: “I will live and die with you.”
The city gate opened again, and the dull loud noise ushered in the last daylight, shuttling between countless horse hooves.
The rainbow eagle flag suddenly flew high in the afterglow. The cavalry held the flagpole and waved it down violently behind the organized infantry. They shouted in Biansha dialect: “Forward–!”
Fei Sheng’s scattered broken hair was blown by the wind, and his scraped fingers clenched the handle of the knife. As Shen Zechuan drove his horse forward, he shouted: “Great victory!”
The wind rushes out on frost clothes and dust.
The infantry gave up their shields, knelt down neatly holding the passage board, and built a narrow bridge when the cavalry was about to cross them.The scimitars crossed the ditch and bumped into the Jinyi cavalry under the city.
The Biansha cavalry who had rested all day outside the city were full of energy. They drank enough milk tea and ate dried meat. They thought they were facing the exhausted garrison. Unexpectedly, the Jinyi cavalry also rested properly and stuffed their stomachs with dry food. It took a second to remember the name of the functional variable: ” .. “乐*文*书*屋
, there is no chance at all.
The two sides were like blades hitting each other, violently colliding in the chaos of horses’ hooves.
Yang Shanxue never fought hard with a scimitar, but Shen Zechuan took it straight to the throat in a cunning way.The arm binding became heavy, and the blood that dripped in slid down the arm, dyeing half of Shen Zechuan’s body red.
The cavalry did not have enough people for the first charge, and the hastily erected bridge was too narrow to withstand the fighting of the Jinyi cavalry, so they could only temporarily retreat and end the charge in a hurry.
Shen Zechuan immediately turned around and returned to the city. When he entered the passage, the city gate was closed again.There were torches lit in the passage, and it was already almost Hai hour.
Shen Zechuan’s right arm was sluggish. He had never fought hard for such a long time when he was still in Jinyiwei. After arriving at the Zhongbo, he was already aware of the sluggishness of his body due to lack of physical training.
My fingers are numb.
Shen Zechuan raised his left hand, wiped the blood from his face expressionlessly, and changed places with Qiao Tianya.
The Jin Yiwei rested for less than an hour when the drum outside sounded again, and the cavalry charged again.This time, Qiao Tianya led his troops to resist, and did not retreat until Chou.
“Wagon battle,” Fei Sheng said on the wall, watching the cavalry’s moving torches, “the cavalry charge in each round is different, so the fight will not stop until dawn.”
“Hasen hid part of his troops,” Shen Zechuan rested against the wall and stuffed a few steamed buns, “otherwise there would be no news about Ce’an.”
Xiao Chiye had conducted deductions with Lu Guangbai before going south. The purpose of he going south was to lure Hasen to send troops, but this sign was that the number of border cavalry at the entrance to the battle site would decrease.Lu Guangbai has not come to support for a long time, which shows that the fierce attack on the battlefield has not stopped. Hasen has already made enough disguises to attack Duanzhou. There are probably more than six troops behind Amul.
Fei Sheng looked at the cavalry and said, “I have to bring the old man back.”
Shen Zechuan reluctantly finished the steamed buns and stood up with Yang Shanxue. He had not slept all day and night.
“We need to find a way…” Shen Zechuan raised his head slightly, “Qiao Tianya doesn’t have to retreat in the next round of charge. Let’s leave the city together.”
Fei Sheng turned around.
Shen Zechuan’s eyes were gloomy and he said clearly: “Fuck.”
Fei Sheng’s stiff facial muscles gradually moved, and he didn’t know why, but he suddenly laughed. He smiled and raised his hands to wipe his tears, and said after Fu Jun: “Fuck.”
