Chapter 818: Ping'a Lost
As soon as the sentry shouted like this, the Huainan soldiers stationed at the head of the city all woke up, and pounced on Sima Jun with swords and guns, and at the same time beat the war drums and sent a signal to the military camp under the city.
There is an enemy attack!
Yang Hongnai, a partial general stationed in Ping'a, was Wang Ling's confidant, and Wang Ling transferred him to Ping'a in order to be optimistic about Huainan's bridgehead and block Sima Yi's attack on Huainan.
After Yang Hong arrived in office, he also seriously prepared for war and made defensive preparations, but tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Hong expected nothing to do, so he and several officers under him prepared a few dishes, drank a few altars of wine, and drank drunk, just lying down, I heard a rapid drum sound outside, and someone was shouting: "There is an enemy attack!" The voices came and went, and soon spread throughout the entire Ping'a City.
Yang Hong heard the sound, and immediately the wine was half gone, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, he didn't care about wearing it, only wearing underwear, carrying a long sword, and rushed out.
Oops! The Sima army launched an attack at this time, and Ping'a's defenders were completely unprepared, how could this battle be fought?
There were already fierce shouts and hoarse sounds on the head of the city, and the Huainan soldiers stationed at the head of the city had already started a fight with the Sima soldiers who rushed up, and the golden sound of the intersecting weapons resounded, and the most poignant was the scream of dying.
Although the number of Sima soldiers who attacked the city in the first wave was not large, they were the most brave elite soldiers, and their combat ability was very strong, although the number of Huainan soldiers was several times that of them, but these Sima soldiers were not afraid and took the initiative to attack, and even killed the Huainan soldiers and retreated.
Sun Li personally commanded the siege battle, the battle on the head of the city began, and it was not unexpected by him, after all, Sun Li did not expect to be able to take Ping'a City without blood, the Huainan army was negligent in prevention, and was attacked into the city by Sima Jun, which was already the most ideal result, and the next battle, that is, hand-to-hand combat with close soldiers, only by sending more Sima soldiers to the city, can the battle situation be controlled, open the city gate, and let Sima army enter the city.
Now the Sima soldiers who can climb the rope to climb the city are the elite of the elite specially selected by Sun Li, all of them have the ability to block ten with one, and after the first wave of dozens of soldiers ascended to the city, they forcibly opened up the battlefield at the head of the city, so as to give the soldiers who climbed the city behind to settle down.
Soon, the second and third waves of Sima soldiers climbed to the head of the city, but at this moment, it was more Huainan soldiers who climbed to the head of the city, and under the command of Yang Hong, those Huainan soldiers who stayed in the barracks all woke up and rushed to the head of the city.
There are steps from the barracks to the city, and naturally the speed of the Huainan soldiers to the city is far faster than that of the Sima army, and they rush to the city like a swarm, wanting to strangle the Sima soldiers who have just climbed up.
Although the Huainan soldiers had the advantage in numbers, they were all in a mess in a hurry, and the soldiers could not see the generals, nor the generals, so they could only rush forward like a swarm, and they could not even maintain the most basic formation.
On the other hand, although the Sima army occupies an obvious disadvantage in numbers, these death squads that took the lead in landing the city are very strong in combat effectiveness, and the discipline is very strict, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to stand on the head of the city, block the Huainan soldiers who rushed up, and pave the way for the Sima army that followed the city.
In the fierce melee, people kept falling down, and the red blood stained the snow on the ground red, and was repeatedly trampled by the soldiers on both sides, and even the air was filled with a smell of blood.
Yang Hong was only wearing underwear, he was shivering a little from the cold, and even his lips became bruised, but he didn't have time to go back to put on his armor again, waving the sword in his hand, and kept urging the Huainan soldiers to rush forward, trying to drive the Sima army who had ascended the city out of the city.
But the battle in the city, but far from what Yang Hong imagined, although in the melee, a lot of Sima soldiers were killed, but Sima soldiers showed very tenacity, they formed a semi-circular arc position, desperately blocking the impact of the Huainan soldiers, although the casualties were not small, but there were successors, as time went by, more and more Sima soldiers climbed the city, and his arc position began to gradually advance to the periphery.
Yang Hong was a little anxious, how could these Sima soldiers not be killed, it was like cutting leeks, cutting stubble after stubble, and there was no way to get rid of it.
You must know that the defense of Ping'a City depends on the city wall, and now Sima Jun is constantly rushing to the city, making Ping'a City's defense line useless, if this situation develops, Ping'a City may be difficult to defend.
In the darkness, Yang Hong didn't know how many people Sima Jun had come, he also climbed to the top of the city at this moment, and when he looked down, he only saw a piece of black pressure, boundless.
Yang Hong's heart sank secretly, it stands to reason that the outside of the city is covered with heavy snow at the moment, and it should be a white expanse, but at this time, there is only black pressure outside the city, and even the white snow is gone.
In such a cold weather, it is impossible for the snow to melt in a short period of time, but now Yang Hong can't see the snow at all, that can only prove one point, the black pressure outside is full of people, they covered the snow, such a huge number, how many people did Sima Yi send this time?
The hole cards in Yang Hong's hand were quickly played, after all, all the six thousand men and horses were sent to the city, and there would not be too crowded, but the number of Sima troops seemed to be endless, and there was no end in sight.
As the battle continued, the more Yang Hong's heart grew, the cooler he became, he was now remorseful, if he hadn't been drunk, if he could have sent more soldiers to guard the city, how could Sima Yi's army have a chance?
But it's too late to say anything now, there are also some medicines that sell in this world, but there are no regret pills for sale, Yang Hong regrets it too late, and can only watch his army retreat back little by little, handing over the control of the cityhead position to Sima Jun.
"General Yang, the general trend has gone, Ping'a can't hold it, dare to withdraw the troops quickly, if you withdraw late, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." A close lieutenant next to him saw that the situation was unfavorable and eagerly persuaded him.
Yang Hong was also struggling in his heart, he was appointed by Wang Ling to guard Ping'a, but he didn't expect to be so defeated and lose the city, if he returned to Shouchun, he would inevitably be punished.
However, it is better to be punished than to lose his life, seeing that Ping'a City can no longer be saved, and there is only a dead end to fight again, in the end, Yang Hong gritted his teeth and ordered the remnants of the army to immediately break through and flee in the direction of Shouchun.
The situation is not good, but it is important to save your life!
