Chapter 180: Capturing Wang Lin Alive

Thirty miles away from Shouyang City, there are 30,000 elite soldiers of the Qi Kingdom, although they dare not attack the Chen army now, but no one knows what will change in the next moment, so in order to capture Shouyang City as soon as possible, Xiao Yao will definitely not choose to attack Shouyang in just one place, so he decided to personally take charge of the attack on the side of the West City Gate.

Because the gate of the outer city was blown up by Xiao Yao with gunpowder before, allowing a large number of Chen troops to enter easily and causing the loss of the outer city, so when defending the inner city, Wang Lin ordered to seal all the gates of the inner city with rocks and debris, which also made it a little difficult for the blasters to blow up, but this time Xiao Yao has brought back enough gunpowder, one explosive pack is not enough, then use two, and if two is not enough, use ten!

Bang bang bang! The entire tower of the West Gate was blown up and shook! Just like blowing up a tunnel, with ten explosives bags at a time, it took three consecutive explosions before the blasters blew up the rocks and debris piled up all over the city gate hole, Xiao Yao immediately ordered the army to attack the city, and Huang Wenyuan led the cavalry team and rushed into the inner city first!

Because most of the defenders at this time were attracted to the east city gate, Huang Wenyuan's cavalry team did not encounter much resistance, so they drove straight into the center of the inner city!

On the side of the east city gate, the two sides fell into a scuffle, the Chen soldiers under the city were climbing up the ladder one by one, and those soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city were mixed with the defenders, hundreds of people were crowded on the narrow city head, the flesh of both sides was attached to the meat, the shield was on top of the shield, and they stabbed each other with spears and slashed with big knives.

"Move forward! Everyone is mixed up, and those air-killing weapons can't be used! Keep moving! Squeeze them down! Wang Lin shouted loudly, commanding the defenders to defend the city.

"General, there were a few loud noises from the west city gate, and then the city gate was blown open, and Chen Jun had already entered the inner city!" A subordinate hurriedly ran to report to Wang Lin.

"What? Did they come in through the West Gate? Come with me to meet the enemy! The others continue to guard here, and they must drive Chen Jun off the city! Hearing that Chen's army had already invaded the inner city, Wang Lin was frightened and immediately led a team of men and horses to meet the battle.

Wang Lin led everyone, got off the city wall, rode on a war horse and rushed towards the west city gate, and at this time, the situation on the city head also took a sharp turn because of the sudden departure of the main general!

It has been besieged for more than ten years, and the environment in the city has become very bad, and more than half of the casualties and so on have not made the defenders psychologically collapsed, in addition to Wang Lin's encouragement, the most important thing is that because of the strong city wall of the inner city of Shouyang, it has not been captured by the Chen army several times in a row, and there is not even a Chen army who can climb this city wall, which makes it the last pillar to support everyone's fighting spirit!

But now the Chen army not only blasted a gap in this city wall with artillery, but also climbed up so many Chen soldiers, which became the last straw that crushed the psychology of the defenders, and Wang Lin's departure also made them lose their backbone suddenly, and the thousands of Rao defenders on the head of the city began to become chaotic, began to retreat, and no longer fought bravely like just now, desperately resisting!

Taking advantage of this change in the defenders, Ren Manu, the main general of the siege force, also climbed up to the top of the city, holding a big sword in both hands and slashing at the enemy troops in front of him, and then shouted loudly: "Wang Lin has fled!" Brothers, follow me and take the city! Kill! ”

Seeing that their main generals had taken the lead and climbed the city wall, and heard that the main generals of the other party had fled, the soldiers of the Chen army immediately rushed to the defenders as if they were not dying, and the defenders who had the advantage in numbers gradually lost control of the city, and more and more Chen troops climbed the city, and victory began to beckon to the Chen army!

Wang Lin rushed to the center of the inner city with a team of cavalry, and happened to meet Huang Wenyuan's cavalry team, the enemy was very red when he saw him, Huang Wenyuan said excitedly: "Haha, old open eyes, let me meet Wang Lin, you old guy with three surnames as a slave!" Last time, I let you run away, and I was punished by the commander to feed the horses and pick up dung, this time I must capture you alive! ”

"Huang Kou'er, I didn't kill you last time, but this time I will kill you! Kill! Wang Lin did not hesitate, raised his spear, and rushed forward in the first place, and the cavalry behind him also pounced on the cavalry team after him.

The two cavalry rushed to each other for a few rounds, and at this time, the infantry on both sides had also arrived, and thousands of people immediately engaged in street battles in Shouyang City, on the streets, in private houses, on the rooftops, there were battles everywhere!

"General, the city gate has been opened by them, and more and more Chen troops are pouring in, and we won't be able to resist sooner or later! Why don't we escort the general and rush out of the city and ask for help, even if Shouyang City falls into their hands today, we can take it back one day! One of his subordinates suggested to Wang Lin.

"Good! Get rid of their entanglement and rush out with all your might! Wang Lin also knew that when the Chen army invaded the inner city, he was already in the general situation, and the city of Shouyang would definitely fall, so he decided to break through and lead the cavalry to rush out.

"Wang Lin old thief, can't win, and wants to escape? Brothers, chase me! Huang Wenyuan saw Wang Lin fleeing towards the West City Gate with dozens of cavalry, and immediately led the cavalry team to prepare to catch up, but was dragged by the surrounding defenders.

When Wang Lin rushed to the west gate under the desperate escort of dozens of his subordinates, he ran into Xiao Yao, who happened to enter the inner city with thirty musketeers to escort him.

The city gate has been blown open, Huang Wenyuan and Zhou Luo led their respective troops to attack the inner city, as the commander of the siege front, of course, Xiao Yao must enter the inner city in time to continue to command the battle, which will make the other soldiers feel that Xiao Yao is a commander who takes the lead and stands at the forefront with the soldiers to fight the enemy.

"Commander, he is Wang Lin, the chief general of the defenders! Stop him! Huang Wenyuan, who had finally gotten rid of the entanglement of the defenders, had just caught up when he saw Wang Lin rushing towards Xiao Yao, who had just entered the city gate, with his cavalry, and couldn't help but remind loudly.

"Wang Lin? He is Wang Lin! It was such a coincidence that as soon as I came in, he immediately sent it to the door for me to catch? Xiao Yao couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately ordered: "Kill the war horse under their crotch!" Capture Wang Lin alive! ”

Seeing a cavalry rushing straight towards him, the musket guards had long raised their guns on alert, and now when they heard Xiao Yao's order, they immediately aimed at the horse's head and fired without hesitation.

Bang bang bang! There was a burst of gunshots, and the galloping war horse was killed on the spot and fell to the ground, and Wang Lin on horseback was also thrown out because of a sudden stall, flew a few meters away, and then fell heavily on Lin, and rolled a few meters before stopping.

This is, Xiao Yao had already ridden a tall horse and came to Wang Lin, then turned over and dismounted, pulled out his saber, and put it on the neck of Wang Lin, who was about to get up and looked embarrassed.

"Hello, General Wang! I'm Xiao Yao, the captain of the infantry battalion, and I've heard the general's name for a long time, so it's a pleasure to meet you! Xiao Yao looked at Wang Lin with a harmless smile on his face and said with a smile.

"You are Xiao Yao? You... Wang Lin, who was suddenly captured and his mind was blank, was speechless for a while, just asked blankly, and then looked at Xiao Yao carefully, but felt that the young man in front of him was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"Wang Lin has been captured! You don't surrender quickly! Do you still want to resist stubbornly? Rebels, no mercy! Xiao Yao ignored Wang Lin, but said to Wang Lin's subordinates who were also thrown to the ground by the horse and got up to continue to resist.

Sure enough, seeing that the main general had been captured alive, and a large number of Chen troops had already surrounded him, and those spears and broadswords shining with cold light were facing them, these subordinates couldn't help but feel frightened, so they put down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and wanted to surrender to Xiao Yao!

A generation of famous generals, Wang Lin, who once dominated Jianghuai, could not imagine that he would reappear after ten years of dormancy, and he was so completely defeated in the battle of Shouyang, so he was dramatically captured by Xiao Yao himself.

"Tie up Wang Lin, and then set up a car on the street to parade the public, so that the defenders in the city will surrender immediately! If the order goes down, those who resist will be killed, and those who put down their weapons will live! Remember, you can't kill people! Xiao Yao ordered, and then continued to smile at Wang Lin: "General Wang is offended, in order to let the defenders in the city surrender as soon as possible, thank you!" ”

But Wang Lin kept looking at Xiao Yao, and he didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought
