Chapter 359: The Fall of the Great Xu Kingdom
γγγγγγγγγγ
These tall and stout soldiers of the Shandong Army, they have already killed their red eyes, and they no longer care about life and death, braving the rolling stones and wood smashed from the city wall, and the hot oil, desperately climbing up.
And the soldiers of the Xu army defending on the city wall are not to be outdone, and they are still willing to follow Yuhua and mix in such a tragic situation until now, and they are also the brothers of the Yu family or their relatives and friends who are quite determined. They kept pouring down arrows, rolling stones, and logs. Once a soldier of the Shandong Army broke through the defense and rushed to the city wall, the soldiers of the Xu Army next to him did not hesitate to raise the weapons in their hands and rushed over desperately, even if they died, they would roll down the city wall with the enemy.
Because they all knew that once the enemy had succeeded in capturing a section of the wall, it would be time for the city to fall and the defenders to be annihilated.
Although Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang were very distressed by the deaths and injuries of their subordinates, Dou Jiande was not frustrated, and still kept ordering the retreating troops to regroup, organize an attack again, and even personally lead the attack. As a result, the already somewhat depressed morale of the Shandong army was reinvigorated.
Even Dou Jiande's daughter, Dou Hongxian, personally went into battle and participated in the siege. saw his boss's daughter, as a female streamer, taking the lead and charging forward. The soldiers of the Shandong army were also deeply moved, and they swarmed up at the cost of their lives and began to open gaps in the defensive line of the city wall.
And the trebuchets arranged in the rear of the Shandong army also began to fight back, throwing huge stones one by one to the walls of Liaocheng.
About two hours later, there was a loosening in the northeast corner of the wall, some masonry and earth fell sharply, and the soldiers on the wall felt a little shaky under their feet.
Xu Yuanlang, who was commanding under the city, was the first to discover this gap, and he immediately took two steps to the city wall in the northeast corner, and then climbed the city wall along the ladder erected by the soldiers.
Although as soon as he went up, a few Xu soldiers appeared around him, and they slashed at him with big knives, but where were they Xu Yuanlang's opponents? However, a few faces fell under Xu Yuanlang's knife. The soldiers of the Shandong Army under the city wall also rushed up, and the soldiers defending nearby couldn't parry it and began to retreat.
Seeing that this section of the city wall was about to be lost, Yu Chengdu led his own soldiers to kill, and he waved a flowing gold boring to block Xu Yuanlang and temporarily stabilize the situation of this section of the city wall.
However, Yuchengdu has turned the corner here, and other places are not so lucky. Wang Bo and Gao Shixing made a breakthrough from the other two broken city walls, and Yu Shi and Yu Zhihe, who defended these two sections of the city wall, were killed, and the Shandong army began to enter the city.
When Yu Chengdu killed Xu Yuanlang with a boring, he finally annihilated all the Shandong troops who rushed to the city wall, and after defending this section of the city wall, he got the news that the two sections of the city wall in the west and south of the city were lost.
Moreover, according to the soldiers who came to report the news, Sima Dekan, the defender in the north of the city, had surrendered to Wang Bo, and the Shandong army had already entered the city.
"Let's go! Let's go to the emperor first, and then break out of the city together! As soon as Yu Chengdu heard that the two sections of the city wall were lost, he knew that Liaocheng could not be defended, and only by taking his father to break through and go to Hebei to find his younger brother Yuming could he have any hope of survival.
At this time, Yuhua was commanding soldiers and horses to defend the city wall in the east of the city. The enemy he faced was Dou Jiande. At this moment, the arrows above and below the city were raining, and the tower of the east gate had been smashed by the enemy's trebuchet, throwing huge stones, and then hit the fire arrows, and the scene was ablaze, and the smoke billowed into the sky. Outside the city, there were several Shandong soldiers pushing the siege car and crashing the city gate, hitting the city gate again and again, the sound was deafening, and the city gate was also crumbling.
Yuhua and his voice were hoarse, he never expected that these bandits of the Shandong Army would burst out with such a powerful combat effectiveness, which made him really a little surprised. Originally, he thought that he would be able to hold out until Yuming's reinforcements arrived, but now it seems that it is too late.
"Quick! Go and move the stone lion at the door of the big family in the city! Hold up the gates with them! β
"The archers will immediately go up to the castle tower and shoot with their crossbow arrows!"
Yuhua and gave one order after another.
More than 1,000 soldiers of the Xu Army under his command hurriedly divided into two, one to find the stone lion blocking the city gate, and the other to run towards the city.
But at this moment, he saw Yu Chengdu rushing towards him, and shouted: "Father, let's break through quickly!" Both the west and south of the city fell...... And ......"
"And what?" When Yu Huahe heard this, his heart immediately rose to his throat.
"And Sima Dekan surrendered to Wang Bo and offered the city gate to the north! Now the Shandong army has entered the city! Yu Cheng said eagerly.
Yuhua heard that Sima Dekan had rebelled and offered the city gate. His eyes suddenly went dark, and he nearly fell off his horse.
Yu Chengdu hurriedly slapped his horse forward, held him up, and then said loudly: "Father, now that the city gates have been lost, we can only break out from the east of the city!" β
Yuhua didn't have time to answer, but he only heard a loud "bang", and the east city gate, which was already crumbling, was suddenly knocked open under the bombardment of the Shandong army's siege and collision outside the city. Then the soldiers of the Shandong Army rushed in with shouts.
Yuhua saw that the four city gates had fallen, and he was in a Jedi, but he broke out with the confidence of fighting to the death.
He immediately waved his lance and shouted, "Everyone follow me out of the city!" As long as you can kill through the enemy formation! And we were born! β
After that, he led the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers around him to rush outside the city gate, and Yu Chengdu also followed closely by his side. In front of them were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shandong Army.
Yu Huahe's eyes were red at this time, he roared, rushed into the enemy's group, stabbed left and right with his lance, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing dozens of people in a row, and all those who blocked him were clothed.
And Yu Chengdu is holding a phoenix winged flowing gold boring, and he is like a god descending to earth, killing the Shandong army crying father and calling his mother, the head is rolling, and the corpses are all over the place.
Even if Dou Jiande ordered several soldiers to besiege the two of them, he couldn't stop them, and they were killed left and right, and they were about to kill a blood.
At this time, the Shandong army that had attacked from the western, southern, and northern city gates had gradually converged. Most of the Xu troops in the city surrendered and died, and only the east gate still resisted.
Wang Bo also led a large number of personal soldiers to rush over, and when he saw that Yuhua and his father were so brave and unstoppable, he was also furious, and raised his gun to kill Yuhua.
Yu Huahe was taken aback when he saw a general in gold armor stabbing at him with a spear, the gun was fierce and heavy, and the horns were also very tricky. He didn't recognize Wang Bo, but from the other party's martial arts and armor, he also expected that he must be a general.
So, he shook the lever and picked it off, wanting to borrow the opponent's strength to pick the tip of the gun away. Unexpectedly, there were five hooks on the tip of Wang Bo's spear, which just hooked his horse lance.
The backhand pressed down Yu Huaji's long lance, so that he couldn't pull it back. And Dou Jiande happened to be killed quickly at this time, raised his spear, and stabbed at Yu Huaji's throat, the spear was fast and fierce.
Poor Yuhua and couldn't dodge, he was pierced in the throat by Dou Jiande, and he didn't even have time to snort, and died tragically on the spot.
When Yu Chengdu saw his father dead, his eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted, picked up the phoenix wings and came to kill Dou Jiande, but was blocked by Wang Bo.
Yu Chengdu was angry at this time, and he fought with the internal force of his whole body, and slashed hard, and immediately knocked Wang Bo's spear away.
Wang Bo never expected Yu Chengdu's strength to be so great, but after all, he was strong in martial arts, and when he heard the sound of the wind in his ears, he hurriedly abandoned the war horse, and his body flew backwards, narrowly avoiding a boring blow that Yu Chengdu swept from the side.
At this time, he was already five zhang away from Yucheng, and a large number of Shandong army soldiers had already rushed over and blocked in front of him.
Yu Chengdu took a deep breath at this time, he knew that the opportunity to kill Wang Bo was in front of him, and he would miss it if he hesitated. So, he raised the phoenix wings with both hands and threw it at Wang Bo's chest!
With a "whoosh", the eight-foot-long gold boring rod crossed the sky like a meteor, and with a whistling sound, it accurately hit Wang Bo's chest.
Yu Chengcheng's desperate throw was so great, the phoenix wings and golden boring not only penetrated Wang Bo's chest, but Yu Jin also nailed him to the ground. Wang Bo died with a terrible scream.
Just when Yu Chengdu turned around and was about to find another enemy, Dou Jiande, to avenge the killing of his father, he was shocked, only to see that Dou Jiande had been hiding more than ten zhang away, and there were more than two archers in front of him, holding longbows and arrows aimed at him.
Yu Chengdu looked up to the sky and laughed, he knew that he could not be spared.
"Brother Ming! The feud between the eldest brother and the father is only waiting for you to avenge it! He said silently in his heart.
At this time, a fierce light flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, and he raised his right hand and waved it violently: "Release the arrow!" β
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Several sharp arrows were shot towards Yu Chengdu like raindrops, and the flowing gold boring in his hand had been lost, and he couldn't block it at all, so he was shot like a hedgehog in an instant, and died tragically on the spot.
When the soldiers of the Xu army saw that Yuhua and Heyu Chengdu were killed one after another, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and surrendered on their knees, and Liaocheng fell.
Except for Yu Cheng and Yu Xuan who led dozens of younger soldiers to escape from the chaos, most of the Yu clan and the military attachΓ©s in the court were captured by Dou Jiande. Among them, there is even Queen Xiao, which makes Dou Jiande overjoyed.
Of course, he was most happy that the big boss Wang Bo and the second boss Xu Yuanlang were also killed in the war, so that he could logically take over the command of the Shandong Army.
Although it is impossible for Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang's subordinates to convince him, Dou Jiande believes that with his ability and skill, he will definitely suppress the voice of disobedience, and he will definitely be able to turn over in Shandong Salted Fish, rise again, and become a member of the princes.
