Chapter 339. Break the city
At this time, the Yuan army in Nanpi City was quite like the Persian army at the Battle of Gaugamela, which was huge in number, but it could only accept the slaughter in vain.
In the front army, the heavy infantry smashed their axes and guns down, smashing the heads of the Yuan army in front, and the flanks, the anti-water Tao Sheng and the light infantry who came out of the left flank slashed at the body of the flank Yuan Jun with swords and short axes, cutting them down in the ice and snow.
In the era of cold weapons, the killing of people is indeed not as terrifying as in the era of hot weapons, but there is a premise, in the vast plain, once defeated, the troops can quickly break and disperse, and the attackers are difficult to arrest, but here is the camp in the west of Nanpi City, there are defensive trenches on the left and right, behind the city is the city, and in front of it are thousands of enemy troops, and there is nowhere to escape.
For these Yuan troops, Cao Bing really launched a massacre, and the Hebei military forces standing on the position were wiped out in the ice and snow one by one as if they were cutting leeks.
On the mountain, Cao Hongjie, who was looking at the battlefield all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and entered! Standing beside her, Cao Zhang's young eyes were completely round with excitement, holding the telescope he had deceived from Changle, watching a king-shaped handsome flag move forward against the cold wind in the northwest, he couldn't help but pat his thighs and sigh.
"The big husband should be like this!"
However, Wang Hou was not as poetic as Cao Zhang thought at this time, and he even led his own army into battle in person, indeed! The current war has almost destroyed Yuan Tan's main force, but after all, there is still a Nanpi City behind the battlefield, even if tens of thousands of people outside the city are killed, and the city gate is not taken down, this war will have to consume two or three days.
What's more, he couldn't plant his flag on the east gate of Nanpi City before Zhang Yan rushed into the city, and his plan to intimidate the Black Mountain Army would also fail!
The two hundred pro-soldiers were like a hot knife cut into butter, deeply embedded in the last military formation of Yuan Tan's army, and the pro-soldiers were all holding swords and shields, while marching, they were still fighting fiercely on the left and right, carrying the green steel blade with a gloomy face in the middle of the pro-soldier team, Wang Hou's eyes were always searching.
Finally, suddenly, his eyes were cold, and he shouted in surprise: "There, Guo Tu!" Don't let him run! ”
In order to better observe the battlefield, the commander must also be at the front of the army or in the middle of the army formation close to the position of the front army, but the defeat is already decided, and it is not easy to retreat from the crowded and chaotic army formation.
That's how Guo Tu is!
Just twenty meters in front of Wang Hou, riding a horse, he was also desperately pushing and kicking his own soldiers, trying to retreat from the chaotic army formation to Nanpi City.
Listening to Wang Hou's shouting, this big man in the Hebei military camp was even more frightened, and Guo Tu simply jumped off the horse! threw away all the horses, no flags, followed his own soldiers to push the crowd, and fled backwards without a clue.
This is to catch this guy, even if he doesn't surrender, Nanpicheng has no tough people to call for resistance, and the combat effectiveness has to be weaker, watching him turn around and flee, Wang Hou suddenly became really anxious, and rushed to the front of the pro-corps with a knife, and the sharp steel knife stabbed Yuan Jun in the chest who was still stunned.
Poof, the cold and exhaustion made him successful in playing handsome, and personally killed a person, but his chicken-killing swordsmanship was really not good, and he didn't wait for the knife to be pulled out, and smashed Yuan Jun's halberd from a distance of one meter, he didn't pay attention, and he was smashed on the helmet all of a sudden, and smashed him with a golden star, so panicked that Zhuge Ying pulled him by the neck and quickly dragged him back, and then shouted like an angry female leopard, shouting and slashing the past.
Seeing Guo Tu drilling farther and farther, Wang Hou was so anxious that he bared his teeth, but fortunately, in a hurry, his old slow head finally opened up, and slapped his thigh violently, Wang Hou roared at the top of his throat.
"Surrender on your knees! Don't die! ”
"Give the order to go down, stop killing, and those who abandon their forces and surrender will not die! The ministries accept the surrender! ”
While shouting, he also grabbed a few heralds and roared, and under his command, the entire army array resounded with a loud roar.
To defeat an army, it is not necessary to kill all the people, but to crush their will to fight, just like Alexander the Great's crusade to the east, he will surrender to Huairou if he can, abolish the oligarchy dictatorship of the Persian Empire, and hand over the governance of the city to the Council of Elders as a liberator, so that he can destroy the entire Persian Empire with only 40,000 Macedonian infantry.
The same is true of the battlefield in front of him, what supports Yuan's army in battle is not the hope of victory, but the fact that there is nowhere to escape! With this promise that those who surrendered will not die, it is also like an amnesty for them, in the sound of a loud voice, a piece of Yuan army tremblingly threw away their weapons and knelt on the battlefield, carrying bloody axes and guns, and the heavy infantry of the Rizhao Brigade was full of unfinished intentions, and some people were helpless to hold on to these military exploits that were originally at their fingertips, pushing and shoving, and often throwing back, and the reserve army on the mountain also began to send people down the mountain to assist in receiving prisoners under the notice.
But this kung fu, Guo Tu is gone! Fortunately, there were more people who surrendered, and the originally crowded military formation became loose, and more than 100 light infantry were added to join the team, and Wang Hou cut Yuan Tan's army formation more quickly.
Anxiously crossing the last and most difficult more than 200 meters, from the battlefield behind the Yuan army's barracks to shuttle over, seeing the gate of Nanpi City, Wang Hou was happy.
If there are more than 10,000 pigs, running all over the mountains, you may not be able to catch much, but it is more than 10,000 people who are engaged in the war, and in the face of destruction, the ugliest side of the cowardly, ugly, and selfish figures is also displayed.
The gate of Nanpi City is now blocked, and hundreds of defeated soldiers want to flee back to the city in a panic, but the infantry defending the city received orders and did not want to let them in.
Although Guo Tu, the old boy Wang Hou, didn't know him, but he was too eye-catching in the silk robe he was forced to use, and in such a large crowd, he was also crowded there with his own soldiers, scolding angrily with his throat and baring his teeth.
Just accepted the surrender acceptance in the outer battle, here, Wang Hou was not in a hurry, in the frightened eyes of Yuan Jun who were crowded behind, he swaggered to the front, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"This official Qingzhou Mu Wang Hou, the person wearing a long shirt is Qingzhou Governor Shi Guotu, in the name of Qingzhou Mu, who brought the old grandson to Lao Tzu, avoid death, reward 100 acres of land, 30 horses of cloth! Ten hangs for money! ”
Wang Hou is enough to slam the door, if Mr. Cao is here, he will have to call a marquis! However, this person's disheartened knots can save his own life, and he may have money to take, which is enough to provoke the greed of these defeated Yuan Jun.
Suddenly, Guo Tu's side became quieter, full of big men, Guo Tu, who was squeezing in, turned his head in shock, and looked out, but there were a pair of greedy and fearful eyes.
…………
No wonder the Lannisters are so famous! Now Wang Hou wants to shout that Wang has a debt to pay back! Fifteen minutes later, standing on the gate tower of the west gate of Nanpi City, looking down at Guo Tu's angry escort to Heshan by his own infantry, Wang Hou happily used his ugly big handicap to sign the Yuan Jun commendation order for these "lottery winners".
Nanpi City is really small! It's similar to a few streets and a town in later generations, much smaller than the county seat, standing here, you can hear the earth-shattering sound of fighting from the east city gate, give the commendation order out, send a few people away, Wang Hou and very small people dragged over the two heralds, laughed and cheered.
"You immediately go to the east of the city and send a message to Zhang Yan and Zhang Zhonglang, Benzhou Mu has attacked the west gate! Don't worry about him, he must be full of fights! The official is going to help him, hahahaha! ”
Laughing wildly and flicking his sleeves, he led his soldiers around the city wall, and Wang Hou also went straight to the east gate.
