Chapter 25: Shoot General Huyan
The lord will fall into the soapy river, and the soldiers who rushed to the front are suddenly in chaos, and the crossbow arrows and firewood and grass on the city continue to fall, and soon the billowing smoke fills the entire valley.
"General Li fell overboard, General Li fell overboard!"
I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers who had lost their effective command suddenly fell into the brink of collapse. The soldiers in the middle of the valley began to rush forward, trying to break out of the deadly valley. The soldiers who rushed to the front had to stop due to the sudden break of the ice, while the people behind were constantly rushing forward, squeezing forward, pushing them forward involuntarily, falling into the water like dumplings, just like the scene on the first day of Sun Xiaozhe's soldiers coming to the city.
The difference is that on that day, Sun Xiaozhe coordinated the overall situation, and when he saw that his morale was frustrated, he immediately withdrew his troops. Today, in the Saoshui River Valley, the soldiers have lost the control of the main general, and under the double attack of fire and crossbow arrows, they have fallen into a madness and fear that is difficult to control.
"Rush out, rush out ......"
As the brigade of soldiers continued to squeeze forward, more and more people fell into the water of the soapy river where the ice was broken.
"Don't rush forward, go back, go back......"
Seeing that he was about to be pushed into the icy river, a general drew his horizontal knife from his waist and slashed left and right, trying to force back the rebels who had lost their minds. But he was like a small boat in the rapids, and he was soon overturned by the stormy wolf.
The old man Fan Changming was caught in the midst of the chaos, and tried to squeeze to the edge of the valley several times, but each time he was dragged closer and closer to the surface of the river where the ice had cracked.
How could this be? Fan Changming was desperate and repeatedly questioned himself, this strategy was obviously foolproof, how could he let Qin Jin's little vertical son take the lead? This is not counting, Sun Xiaozhe lost his troops because of his plan, how could he let himself go? The people of the Fan clan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and offended the Anshi rebels, and it was difficult for the world to have a foothold!
His throat was smoking, his eyes were choked so that he couldn't open them, and the physical pain and mental fear were so steep that he stimulated the potential in his old body, and he squeezed to the edge of the mountain wall three times and two times. He had walked through this valley many times, and the hunters of the village often walked here, so he clearly remembered that there were several imperceptible mountain roads between the mountain walls. If God still favors him, let him find the mountain road smoothly, if God wants to abandon him and abandon the Fan clan, he will be trapped in this valley!
The fire was raised on the city of Xin'an Nanguan, illuminating the entire river valley as if it were day, and the goose feather snow gradually turned smaller in due time, and the situation in the valley was clearly seen, but it was quickly covered by the smoke that rose rapidly and flowed. But it didn't matter anymore, the space in the valley was so large, and the united soldiers in the city only needed to call down the firewood, rolling wood, stones, and crossbow arrows, and each time they would return a desperate scream.
Since the rebels came to the city, how could the soldiers and civilians of Xin'an have such a happy killing, in the face of the rebels who have no power to fight back, the defenders are full of momentum!
"Kill all the dogs! Avenge the villagers and elders!"
The rebels repeatedly harassed the people outside Dongguan City, and almost half of Ding Zhuang's family was bullied and plundered. Now that we are seizing the opportunity, we will naturally have revenge and complain.
After the battle in Nanguancheng began, Qin Jin's mind had already shifted to Dongguan City, and he believed that Sun Xiaozhe would never only send this army to fight alone, but would definitely echo and carry out a front and rear attack on the east and west sides of Xin'an.
Moreover, if they did not take the opportunity to attack the city, but wandered west of Xin'an and plundered the people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But how can things go as people want, even if there is no last resort, it will only happen in the story, and defeating Sun Xiaozhe has become the primary goal now. Moreover, Qin Jin believed that the Mo Tongluo soldiers would never give up the temptation to capture Xin'an, as long as he dared to attack, he would definitely teach him to go and never return!
……
"General, look at the valley! It looks like someone is setting fire!"
Du Mo looked in the direction of the soap river valley, and saw the faint fire rising into the sky, and his heart suddenly sank, but immediately a trace of schadenfreude swelled up.
It must be Sun Xiaozhe's subordinates, and this guy also sent people to follow the Tongluo tribe into the soap river valley, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by the Tang army.
"The back road of Tongluo has been broken, please make a decision!"
Mo Dasheng sneered: "What are you afraid of? Xin'an Xiguan City is right in front of you, break through Xin'an, and go into the city for breakfast!"
The fire is faint, and the low Xiguan city wall of Xin'an is really incomparable with Dongguan City.
"Go cut down the trees and break down the gates!"
The horsewhip pointed to the woodland by the Soap River, which was full of trees that were difficult for one person to embrace.
There are no moats, no ice walls, even the walls are dimly lit, there are only a few wind lanterns in the distance, and it seems that everyone's energy is focused elsewhere.
"All cheer up, the Tang army has not yet discovered that I am with the Luo Department, this time I am unprepared, and I will be able to break the city in one fell swoop!"
He was constantly cheering up the people, and he felt that he had finally seized the opportunity, no matter how cunning the county lieutenant in the city was, it would be impossible for him to face a three-sided attack! He was waiting quietly, waiting for Sun Xiaozhe to launch an attack in Dongguan City, and at that time, it would be the time for the Tongluo Department to be ashamed and break through Xin'an!
The soldiers of Tongluo are like hungry wolves, hiding in the woodland by the Soap River, waiting for an opportunity, and Xin'an is the fat sheep in their eyes!
……
After Chen Qianli arranged the inspection of the city, he rushed to Xiguan City non-stop, and now Xin'an is short of manpower, he is now almost one to ten, and he has not closed his eyes for three consecutive days and nights.
"Haven't the soldiers moved yet?"
The rebels outside Dongguan City have moved, he just got the news, according to Qin Shaofu's speculation, as long as there is a change in Dongguan City, the soldiers who cross the river valley will definitely launch a surprise attack on Xiguan City!
"If the dog doesn't come, it's enough, and if he comes, he will regret giving birth from his mother's womb!"
The morale of the Unity Soldiers and Ding Zhuang was very strong, and the series of victories they had won in the past few days had freed them from their fear of the Fanhu rebels!
Chen Qianli was about to say a few words to boost morale, when a Ding Zhuang suddenly pointed to a little fire outside the city, "There is a fire there!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the past, and although the goose feathers and snow gradually became lighter, the night was as dark as ink, and nothing could be seen except the light of the day's fire in the distant woodland. In addition to the sound of the north wind's call, it is also the sound of the north wind's call!
Suddenly, a heavy tremor came from under his feet, and a dull shout rang out from under the city.
"Oh no! The rebels have hit the gates!"
The unity soldiers and Ding Zhuang who defended the city wall were still inexperienced, and they didn't even notice that the soldiers were approaching the city.
"Don't be stunned, the soldiers are under the city, all of them will greet me!"
Chen Qianli pulled his neck and shouted, and the rolling wood and crossbow arrows fell one after another......
……
The small plan of attacking the east and the west was very successful, and Du Mo was secretly proud, and the attention of the Tang army defending the city was really attracted by the little fire in the soap river woodland, and his subordinates dismounted and carried the logs surrounded by the two, and rushed all the way to the west gate of Xin'an.
The logs slammed into the wooden gates, and the rammed earth walls immediately fell with earth and stone particles.
"Break through the city gate, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"
One, two, three......
The soldiers withstood the stones and crossbow arrows that fell on the city wall, carrying logs and attacking the Xin'an gate again and again, and once someone fell to the ground, someone immediately made up for it, and the rhythm of the attack was not affected at all.
Du Mo and most of the men and horses watched from a stone's throw away from the city, and about a quarter of an hour passed, and suddenly saw a fire under the city, which was agreed early in the morning, and after breaking through the city gate, it was called to raise fire!
"Rush, break the city! Kill in, no chickens and dogs will be left!"
Du Mo took the lead, surrounded by the front and rear of the iron guards, and rushed into the Xin'an West Gate like a gallop against the feather arrows shot down by the Tang army!
Unexpectedly, Xin'an was broken so easily, thinking about all the frustrations and unwillingness before, he was ready to kill and shame!
The people who rushed into Xin'an City were in a state of confusion, and before they could reprimand, rolling logs, stones, and crossbow arrows fell like rain on all directions......
"General, this, this is an urn city! There is a city gate in front, we have been tricked!"
Shocked to learn of the plan, Du Mo was suddenly shocked, his shoulder suddenly hurt, and a crossbow arrow pierced through the heavy iron armor and nailed straight into the flesh and bones. Before he could react, the war horse under his crotch screamed and fell to the ground.
Du Mo was thrown out with the fall of the war horse......
"Get out of here!"
Before he could shout a word, the horse stepped on it, and the iron hoof was stepping on his thigh, and a thick thigh was suddenly blurred with flesh and blood, and he could even clearly feel the broken leg bones.
"Help me!"
The Tiewei of the Tongluo Department was extremely loyal and brave, and after realizing that the leader had fallen off his horse, he immediately rushed over to protect him, but it was too late, and one of his thighs had already become a pile of bloody flesh.
……
Outside Dongguan City, the surface of the Jianhe River was full of pontoon bridges, and Sun Xiaozhe's army crossed the river, climbed the ice wall, and rushed to the city wall like ants.
"Stone cannon adjusts the angle and collapses the pontoon!"
The pontoon bridge was the key point of Sun Xiaozhe's army attacking Dongguan City, as long as it could be destroyed with stone cannons, it could be completed. However, the accuracy of the stone cannon is limited, and it is okay to hit a group of targets, once it is aimed at a relatively small target such as a pontoon bridge, whether it can be hit can only rely on luck!
"Hit!"
Reflecting the raging firelight, I saw a stone bullet hit one of the pontoon bridges, and in an instant, sawdust and flesh flew sideways, and the lucky immortal soldiers fell into the water......
However, there are more than 10 pontoon bridges on the river, and one of them is destroyed, but it is still a drop in the bucket, and it can't stop the soldiers from coming like ants and locusts.
Qin Jin raised his eyes and saw that the array of the Fan army was bright, and a banner was particularly conspicuous......
