Chapter 13: Breaking the City

Following his order, the soldiers who had already prepared raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at the city gate, and launched random shots.

In the dark night, the chaotic arrows rained down, and in just an instant, more than a dozen ghost troops were shot over.

The howls suddenly came and went.

At this time, the other party also reacted, and a ghost army began to shout loudly: "Ah! Enemy! It's the enemyβ€”"

There was a great commotion at the gates.

"You take a team of brothers to take the city gates! I'm going to take the city defenses! Xiao Yuan didn't stop, and after giving Peng Shuang an order, he immediately shouted loudly: "Kill!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already rushed forward in the first place, met the ghost army, and slashed with a sword.

As the so-called will have the heart of death, and the soldier has no greed for life, Xiao Yuan, as the leader of this operation, his leading charge has an encouraging effect is self-evident.

What's more, the ghost clan invaded the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and the hatred of the past hit their hearts, and the soldiers below also broke out with a roar, abandoning life and death, pulling out their war knives, and pounced with Xiao Yuan.

On the side of the ghost army, they never thought that the Central Plains army would suddenly appear from within the city, not to mention that they were caught off guard, and there were not many troops here at all.

When two ghost soldiers heard the shouts below, they just ran down the city defense with spears in hand, but they were greeted by Xiao Yuan's fierce and sharp two knives.

Blood splattered, and the two were directly killed on the spot, and for a while, shouts of killing rang out.

And it is very easy to go up to the city wall from the city, Xiao Yuan took the lead in rushing and killing here, and a group of soldiers soon went up to the head of the city and fought with the ghost army on the city defense.

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Xiao Yuan also began to shout loudly: "Throw the oil altar!" ”

Following his order, many soldiers took off the oil jars that had been prepared from their waists, and then threw them out with all their might.

The oil altar hit the city wall, and the sound of the clay pot breaking sounded one after another, and Xiao Yuan immediately pulled out a torch on the city wall and threw it directly to the ground.

When the torch fell to the ground, the oil caught fire, and the fire began to spread rapidly along the oil stains.

In an instant, the place where the oil altar was broken was already on fire, and in the midst of the flames, there were many ghost soldiers fleeing frantically, howling miserably.

At the same time, Peng Shuang also led a team of men and horses to capture the city gate, and with a squeaky tooth sound, the tall city gate was slowly opened.

Outside of Moon City.

In the dark night, the fire was too obvious, and seeing the city gate on fire, Lu Bolin was immediately shocked, and couldn't help but say: "They really succeeded!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Order!" The whole army has invaded Moon City! ”

At this moment, the main army had already assembled and stood by, and as soon as he gave the order, the whole army also began to charge against Yuecheng.

If in normal times, there were 30,000 ghost troops in Yuecheng, and if the city gate could not be opened, Lu Bolin would not dare to attack rashly, but now, with such an opportunity, his mood couldn't help but become excited.

You must know that this time the Central Plains army fought against the ghost clan, he was the commander, and Yuecheng was also lost in his hands, if he could recover the lost territory, how could he not be excited.

And inside the city, as the city gate was attacked, more and more ghost armies were already rushing towards this side.

After setting fire to the city wall, right now, Xiao Yuan has also joined Peng Shuang, and the two are taking five hundred soldiers to fight with the ghost army.

Before, from some trivial things, Xiao Yuan had already discovered that Peng Shuang was extraordinary and powerful, and at this moment, on the real battlefield, the combat power shown by the latter surprised Xiao Yuan even more.

At this moment, Peng Shuangzheng was at the front of the crowd, and more than a dozen scimitars were cut off on the head, but he didn't dodge, raised the war knife in his hand, and forcibly blocked it, and then bounced it away violently, swept a knife, and a ghost army in the front row suddenly howled miserably.

When he was in the crowd of enemy soldiers, as if he was in a no-man's land, when he slashed left and right, he would lift the ghost sergeant with one arm from time to time and throw it into the crowd, often smashing a large piece of it.

Such a fierce general, one person is better than a thousand troops, if Xiao Yuan is Lu Bolin, he will definitely greatly reuse Peng Shuang, but unfortunately, in the era at that time, the dignity and humility were distinct, and he paid more attention to his background, and Peng Shuang was a poor family, not a powerful person, so although he was capable, he had never entered the sight of the upper class.

This is also the ill of feudal dynasties.

The battle is still ongoing, as the ghost army gathers more and more, gradually, the pressure on Xiao Yuan's side is also increasing, fortunately, these five hundred soldiers are elite veterans, otherwise, it is really difficult to say that they can hold the city gate.

At this time, everyone understands in their hearts that what they are fighting for is time, and if they hold on for a while, the main army should arrive!

Therefore, all the soldiers were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and almost everyone had blood stains on their bodies and faces.

After a long battle at the gates, the deafening sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the city.

It was the sound of the cavalry charging in unison.

The sound was getting closer, and the earth seemed to tremble.

Sensing this movement, the ghost army was shocked, and the soldiers on Xiao Yuan's side showed surprise on their faces.

The gates were wide open, and the cavalry swarmed in, without slowing down in the slightest.

At this time, there was no need for Xiao Yuan to order, the rest of the soldiers quickly retreated, and quickly stood on both sides, with their backs against the wall.

Before the ghost army could react, a group of cavalry had already rushed into the city gate and swept through at lightning speed.

The neighing of the war horses and the miserable howls of the ghost army came and went, and the speed of those cavalry did not slow, and after rushing in, they directly crashed into the crowd, often bringing away a large number of ghost troops, and trampling to death and injuring countless people.

Then, countless foot soldiers rushed in with halberds in hand.

The Great War began.

For a while, the sound of weapons colliding began to occur in various places near the city gate, and it became more and more intense, the ghost army was supporting this side from time to time, and the Central Plains army was rushing into the city more and more foot soldiers to join the battlefield.

In the end, it has become a street and alley, and there is a scuffle everywhere.

Among them, it is mixed with the terrible howls of countless ghost people, and the crazy escape.

In such a night attack, the large army of the ghost army was unaware, but the city gate was opened from the inside, and the main force of the Central Plains army entered the city, and the outcome of the battle was no longer suspenseful.

Seeing that his main force had arrived, after Peng Shuang slashed a ghost army to death, he couldn't help but pull a soldier past and asked loudly: "Where is Xiao Yuan!" ”

Just now, Xiao Yuan was still with him, but I don't know when, he was gone.

The two fought side by side before, fighting bloodily, Peng Shuang thought that Xiao Yuan had an accident.

At this time, Xiao Yuan had already quietly slipped into the city.

Because he knew that in such a situation, the other party's main general would definitely escape.
