Chapter 1257: High, It's Really High
This is almost a one-sided massacre, the Jizhou army in the process of retreating, can not find out which direction the arrows of the Bingzhou army come from, in their feelings, it seems that there will be arrows from the front and back, left and right, and it is dense like a shower, there is no way to dodge.
After all, each person only has one pair of hands and two eyes, and at most they can only hold a shield on one side, which can prevent the front, but not the back, the left, but not the right, and the Grim Reaper accompanies them all the way.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the whole battle is over, Wang Tao brought out the two thousand men and horses, including himself, all killed, no life survived, from the Jingcheng Pass to the camp of Lianhong, a mile or so away, the horizontal seven vertical cypress was full of the corpses of the Jizhou army, everyone was almost full of arrows, this road completely paved by the corpse has been extended to the city gate.
More corpses gathered at the gates, and they squeezed desperately towards the gates, hoping to enter the city, but the gates never opened, and the soldiers crawled desperately on the gates, and on their backs, there were countless arrows.
The captain who stayed in the city did not have the courage to open the city gate, in the darkness, there were only shouts and screams, but he couldn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy at all, if he opened the city gate, he knew that it was his own army or the enemy Rao army that broke into the city, if the city gate was lost, the Jingcheng Pass would really be over.
When it was light, the captain who stayed behind climbed the city, looked down, and found that the road was densely packed with the corpses of the Jizhou army, he couldn't help but gasp, and he was covered with goosebumps.
But that's the case, the captain who stayed behind didn't have the courage to go out of the city to collect the corpse of Paoze, because Zhan Hong had already led the Bingzhou army to the city, and they came completely on the corpse of the Jizhou army.
Not only did the vanguard of Lianhong kill the pass, but even Du Yu personally led the army to rush over, and tens of thousands of horses and horses of the state army gathered under the Jingcheng Pass, and the black pressure was overwhelming, which frightened the defenders to be cold and frightened, and their souls were not possessed.
The shock brought to the defenders by the annihilation of Wang Tao's army is indescribable, more than 2,000 people left the city, no life survived, they were originally going to sneak attack, but they did not expect to kick the iron plate, all of them lost their lives.
The blow of these two thousand Rao casualties to Jingcheng Pass was very heavy, the original defenders were only 3,000 people, and in the face of ten times the enemy's attack, in the absence of reinforcements, it was still a difficult problem to be able to hold Jingcheng Pass.
Now it is good, two-thirds of the troops were lost overnight, and the defensive situation of Jingcheng Pass suddenly became serious.
What's more, they lost the main general Wang Tao, the original defense of Jingcheng Pass was fully responsible for Wang Tao, he is the soul of the Jingcheng Pass defense line, Wang Tao's death, is undoubtedly the heaviest blow, although there is a left-behind captain temporarily succeeded as the main general, but whether it is ability or prestige, he can not be compared with Wang Tao, the entire Jingcheng Pass is panicked, chaotic.
Under the city, Du Pre and Zhan Hong have already met, and Du Pre sincerely admired: "General Zhan, it's really a clever plan, in one fell swoop, he ambushed the guard Wang Tao and more than 2,000 people, high, really high!" ”
Originally, Du pre-planned, was to camp first and then attack step by step, but Zhan Hong put forward a different idea, in order not to startle the snake, Zhan Hong only brought a thousand people to the Jingcheng Pass, Zhao Hong and Wang Tao have been opponents for many years, have a deeper understanding of each other, and he has a very big grasp of leading the snake out of the hole.
Du Yu listened to Zhan Hong's plan, so he agreed to lead the troops to go, while he stayed in the camp and did not move.
In Du Yu's opinion, Zhan Hong's plan should be opened in five or five years, and if the enemy defenders are calm enough, they will not act rashly.
But I didn't expect it to happen, Zhan Hong really had two brushes, and he really had to lure Wang Tao out of Jingcheng Pass. As for the fact that 1,000 people can wipe out 2,000 people on the spot, Du Yu has no doubt about this, after all, looking at the 1,000 people brought by Zhan Hong, it is difficult for any kind of enemy army to resist, as long as they dare to leave the pass, no matter how many people come, they will be sent to death.
Zhan Hong was humble at this time, smiled, and said: "I have been dealing with this Wang Tao for many years, and I have a lot of grievances. ”
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, the battle of Zhan Hong is really clear, he has been dealing with the opponent for so many years, and he really understands the opponent's character and temper very thoroughly, and he really eats his set when he is right, and successfully lures the opponent out of Jingcheng Pass.
Du pre-said: "General Lu worked hard last night, please take the soldiers down to rest, the siege of the city, leave it to so." ”
The defenders were 3,000 people, and the first battle of the Hong defeated two-thirds, and the remaining defenders were not to be afraid, and the rest of the defenders were not afraid, and they happily agreed to Du Yu's suggestion, they did not close their eyes all night, and at this moment more than 1,000 people were also a little tired, and handed over the siege to the shooting battalion, I believe that they will soon be able to take the Jingcheng Pass.
The road in front of Jingcheng Pass is narrow, and heavy siege equipment such as catapults cannot be used at all, so the attack of the shooting battalion is still mainly based on ant siege, but the strength of the defenders in the pass has been sharply reduced, and for the Bingzhou army that surged up like locusts and ants, they panicked as soon as they fought, and they didn't know what to do.
The remaining lieutenant was even more sweaty, in the past, Wang Tao was responsible for the defense in front of Jingcheng, and their subordinate generals only needed to act according to orders, but now Wang Tao is gone, all the responsibilities are on his head, and it is already beyond his ability, in the face of the offensive and state army, he is completely at a loss, and can only order to resist with all his might.
There are still a lot of particularities in defending the city, and it is necessary to flexibly use defensive tactics for the enemy's different attack methods, but this captain's lack of experience in battle, coupled with the sharp reduction of the defenders' strength, the defense of the entire city has become full of holes.
The Bingzhou army was like a rainbow, the offensive was like a tide, wave after wave, and the defense of the Jingcheng defenders only lasted for more than an hour, and it was broken open by the Bingzhou army, and a soldier of the shooting battalion took the lead in ascending the city.
The next battle showed a one-sided trend, and the state army quickly expanded the results of the battle, and more provoked the city, the defenders surrendered one after another, and the Jingcheng Pass, known as the first Xiongguan in Jizhou, fell so easily.
