Chapter 174: Pursuit and Ambush
Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, who had been negotiated, immediately issued an order to withdraw their troops.
The defenders on the tower quickly began to fight and retreat after receiving the order.
When Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong, who were fighting, saw that the defenders began to evacuate, they quickly led their troops to open the southern city gate.
Wang Kai and Fang Qiao, who were outside the city, saw that the south gate had been opened, and they followed and led their troops into the city.
At the same time, Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing immediately evacuated to the West City Gate with their soldiers and horses.
Besides, after Wang Kai entered the city, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong immediately rushed to Wang Kai to resume their lives.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Cheng said to Wang Kai: "Lord, the defenders in the city are evacuating to the west, should we catch up?" ”
Wang Kai pondered for a while and then immediately replied to the following words.
After Luo Cheng and Wei Chi Gong received the order, they quickly began to lead their troops in pursuit.
Immediately after, after Wang Kai left a group of soldiers and horses to sit in Jincheng County, he also led a large army to pursue it, and he planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate Han Sui's forces in one fell swoop.
When Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying led their troops to the West City Gate, they all heard the sound of the chasing soldiers behind them.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Gongying said anxiously: "No, if you escape like this, it will only collapse instantly, and we must leave a group of soldiers and horses to buy time for the army." ”
When he heard Cheng Gongying's words, one of the candidates for the eight generals who had already joined them immediately spoke up: "Military advisor, let me break the queen!" ”
Seeing that the candidate volunteered, Cheng Gongying thought about it and replied: "General Hou, I need you to guard the West City Gate for at least three hours, can you do it?" ”
"Please rest assured, even if the last general dies, he will definitely keep these three hours."
"Okay, then ask General Hou to stay and break the queen!"
After allocating 5,000 candidates, Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing escaped from the West City Gate with the rest of the army, and Cheng Yin also withdrew with the army.
Besides, when Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong rushed to the West Gate, they saw the candidate with 5,000 soldiers firmly waiting at the West City Gate.
Seeing that there were enemy troops guarding the city gate, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong quickly killed them.
When the candidate saw Luo Cheng and Wei Chi Gong coming, he immediately ordered the archers on the city tower to start firing arrows.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong immediately waved the weapons in their hands and began to resist, but the arrows rained wave after wave, and first-class generals like Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong were finally forced to retreat.
After moving away from the shooting distance of the archers, Luo Cheng said to Wei Chi Gong: "General Wei Chi, these archers are very difficult, we must first solve the archers on the city tower before we can break through." ”
"General Luo, what are you going to do? We don't have archers with our pursuers, and we don't have shields. ”
After hearing this, Luo Cheng immediately reacted and replied helplessly: "It seems that we can only wait for the lord's army to arrive." ”
After a while, Wang Kai also led the army to the west gate.
When Wang Kai found that Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong were still in place, he immediately sent someone to call them over.
As Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong came to Wang Kai, the two immediately informed Wang Kai of the situation on the Ximen side.
When Wang Kai learned of Simon's situation, he immediately sent his shield men to cover him.
With the protection of the shieldman, Wang Kaijun's soldiers could finally advance towards the city gate.
When the candidate saw this, he suddenly panicked, because if he continued like this, he would not be able to hold it for three hours, but he was afraid that he would not be able to keep a stick of incense.
Seeing Wang Kaijun's soldiers advancing layer by layer, the candidate suddenly stopped insisting, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and he was about to run away. Three k
Wang Kai on this side saw that the enemy who stayed at the city gate was about to run, and Wang Kai quickly let Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong rush up.
Because the candidates were about to run away, the archers on the castle tower also quickly evacuated the city.
Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong easily broke through the defense line of the candidate arrangement without blocking them.
After killing the enemy troops guarding the city gate, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong quickly pursued the candidates.
And Wang Kai continued to pursue after dealing with the defeated army that was scattered.
Besides, after the candidate escaped, although he tried his best to escape, his mount was not as good as the good horse that Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong sat on, and it didn't take long for him to be caught up by Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong.
When the candidate looked back and saw Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong getting closer and closer to him, he was very anxious.
At this time, the candidate noticed a small forest in front of him.
Immediately following, the candidate immediately fled in the direction of the grove, and he planned to use the forest to escape the pursuit of Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong.
When Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong saw the candidate running towards the grove, they didn't find the bird hovering over the grove because they were careless, so they chased in.
Besides, when Yan Xing, who was in ambush in the grove, saw Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong appear, he immediately commanded his soldiers to start firing arrows.
The soldiers who followed behind Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong were caught off guard and most of them were killed and injured, and Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong exited the grove intact because of their strong martial arts.
After forcing back the pursuers, Yan Xing quickly joined up with the candidates.
At this time, when Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong, who had withdrawn from the forest, saw that there were only hundreds of injured soldiers left around them, they both blamed themselves.
Then, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong immediately returned the same way and prepared to plead guilty to Wang Kai.
Before Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong returned to the city, Wang Kai met them on the way.
After Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong saw Wang Kai, they immediately came to Wang Kai to plead guilty.
When Wang Kai saw Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong pleading guilty to him, he immediately asked: "Shixin, Jingde, why are you doing this?" ”
At this time, Luo Cheng told Wang Kai about the ambush he and Wei Chigong had encountered in a light attack.
Wang Kai was suddenly a little in a dilemma after hearing this, because he didn't really want to punish Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong, but it was difficult to convince the public if he didn't punish him.
When Fang Qiao, who was beside Wang Kai, saw Wang Kai's hesitant expression, he immediately said to Wang Kai: "Lord, the two generals are also an unintentional mistake, why don't you let them make meritorious contributions!" After all, this is the moment of truth. ”
Seeing Fang Qiao go up to the road like this to give himself a step, Wang Kai immediately replied: "What Xuan Ling said is reasonable. ”
"Shixin, Jingde, you two have lightly advanced the enemy and caused our army to be defeated, but I remember that you have committed your first offense, and now it is a critical period, so I will temporarily write down your mistakes and allow you to make meritorious contributions."
After hearing this, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong thanked Wang Kai and Fang Qiao at the same time.
At this time, Wang Kai ordered Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong to return to the team, and he planned to advance slowly with a large army.
Besides, Yan Xing and the candidates fled for a while after converging, and they finally caught up with the army led by Cheng Gongying.
When Cheng Gongying saw Yan Xinghe and the candidates coming back, he immediately asked Yan Xing: "General Yan, I don't know if you have solved the chasing army?" ”
"The military advisor is really clever, I successfully ambushed Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong, and now Wang Kai's pursuers should not be able to catch up."
"That's good, it's good that I made second-hand preparations, otherwise my army may have to fight to the death with Wang Kaijun."
When he heard this, the candidate felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to complain, after all, his status was too far worse than Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing.
