Chapter 366: Breaking the Army!

The dispatch of 100,000 cavalry is not trivial. This is already equivalent to nearly one-third of the strength under the command of King Hu Moke. For the eldest prince Mo Guang, the significance is even greater. He knew very well in his heart that this was an important test for his father. As long as Jicheng can be captured in one fell swoop tonight, then there is no doubt that he will be the future king of Hu.

And this steppe prince is the first time to personally command so many troops. The excitement in his heart can be imagined. The army was temporarily stationed dozens of miles away. Since the afternoon, he has been gearing up, restlessly waiting for the moment of attack.

I finally waited until it got dark. The dead man who had spied on the news returned with his contacts in the city. They told the eldest prince that everything was ready in the city, and that they would open the north gates as soon as the appointed time came. Raise the fire as a signal and wait for the arrival of the steppe army.

Mo Guang was very happy. With Li Mu dead, there is no one in Jicheng who can really command the overall situation. Presumably, the army is disheartened and the defense is lax. Breaking the city tonight is a good opportunity. He wasn't worried about anything else going wrong. Don't say that the city has already prepared a strategy, even with the 100,000 troops under his command, it is not difficult to level the northern city.

The eldest prince immediately gave the order, the whole army rested, all the steppe warriors rested on the spot, took out the food they brought with them, ate to their heart's content, and prepared for the upcoming battle after recuperating their spirits.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was getting dark. Mo Guang, who was waiting a little anxiously, finally received the news again. The military forces in the city are already lurking inside the north gate, waiting for the best opportunity to do it in one fell swoop!

Mo Guang gave an order, and several generals who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly came over. He sent two confidant generals to follow him to the north gate with 30,000 horses. Others, on the other hand, are prepared to keep an eye on all directions. As long as the people who escaped from the northern city could not be spared. As for the city gates in other directions, he didn't bother. At the beginning of the war, my father must have already made arrangements, and the 80,000 Zhao troops in the city could not escape!

In fact, according to the ideas of their subordinates, they really wanted the eldest prince to stay behind and supervise the formation, and the other generals could lead the samurai to storm the city. But everyone exchanged a look with each other, but no one dared to raise objections. Because everyone knows the mind of the eldest prince very well. Known as the "Iron Head", he not only wants to get the throne, but also wants to get the title of the Warrior of the Prairie!

Take the lead, every battle front. It's not enough to describe how powerful he is. He was going to ride his horse himself and be the first to rush into Jicheng. Let King Hu and all his brothers see for themselves that he is fully qualified to bear the future of the entire grassland.

"Why hasn't there been any movement?"

Mo Guang waited a little anxiously. He was very impatient and threw the iron helmet that he had brought to him to the side again. The samurai next to him had already handed this helmet three times, but he didn't want to wear it. A real samurai charged, went into battle shirtless, and slashed thousands of troops, showing heroism. What's more, his nickname is "Mo Tietou", which means that his head is as hard as iron, although it is not invulnerable, but it is really powerful.

The scouts did not dare to slack off, they had already shuttled back and forth several times, observing the movements of the city at any time, and they would report any disturbances immediately. When it was time to enter the shift, someone ran to the horse in a hurry. Loudly report to Prince Moguang: The fire at the head of the city has risen, the drawbridge has fallen, and the responders in the city have killed all the defenders of Chengtianmen, and asked for a quick army to seize the city!

Mo Guangda was overjoyed, jumped up, got on his horse without even a helmet, and shouted: "Rush!" Then, taking the lead, he killed directly in the direction of the fire.

Now, there was no need to hide their whereabouts, and 30,000 cavalry came out of their hiding places and galloped across the open area of dozens of miles north of the city. Soon I saw the shadow of the North City. Sure enough, the city was already in flames, and the gates were wide open, just waiting for them to conquer it.

The hooves of 30,000 thundered and shattered the night. It's like a beast with its mouth open, trying to swallow up the city in front of it. In a matter of moments, the striker was already close to the city gate. The eldest prince, surrounded by hundreds of horsemen, did not hesitate to ride his horse across the drawbridge and into the city gates. Now it's all about speed. As long as you take control of the gate before enemy reinforcements arrive, it will no longer be possible to stop the subsequent army from entering. And the glory of this pioneer and the first person belongs to him!

The fire burned at the top of the city, and I don't know how many torches were lit, and it shone like day. The Chengtian Gate was very wide, and thousands of war horses with their masters rushed into the city gate at the first time. The steppe warriors in the back also scrambled to be the first, lest they would run slowly and get no credit.

The eldest prince Mo Guang rode the best fierce horse on the grassland, as fast as lightning and as fast as a meteor. When he passed the city gate, he looked up and saw dozens of figures cheering at him, and his expression looked very excited. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, it seemed that these internal responses were still very powerful, and he gave up the city gate so easily. When the general situation is decided, he will gather their leaders and comfort them. Raising a puppet on the land of Yan is still very beneficial to the entire grassland. At this point, I have to say that his vision is very long-term, and even surpasses Hu Wang Moke.

The cavalrymen who followed the eldest prince's horse immediately brandished their long knives and prepared to fight. In any case, there are still seventy or eighty thousand Zhao troops in this city, and the so-called trapped beasts are still fighting, and a fierce battle cannot be avoided. And that's exactly what they expected. Without the protection of the tall walls, the enemy's cavalry would be vulnerable to fighting them with pebbles.

However, the scene before him made the eldest prince and his cavalry feel slightly disappointed. For there was no shadow of any man before him, except those who had opened the gates at the head of the city and let them in. The night wind blew, and there was only the sound of these war horses neighing, and other than that, it seemed that it had become an empty city without defense.

Mo Guang, who rushed forward on horseback, felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't think of anything else. Jicheng is worthy of being a big city, and inside the city gate is not a bustling street, but a spacious open space. It's beyond their imagination. And after a few breaths, these grassland people who had never entered Jicheng were surprised to find that there was another city wall blocking their way in front of them!

When the huge black shadow came to the face. Mo Guang involuntarily slowed down his horse. In the light of the fire, he saw that the swarthy city wall seemed to be full of murderous intent . This made him suddenly have an ominous premonition in his heart. He jerked up his knife and shouted to stop advancing!

However, he forgot that this was not on the plains outside. In a relatively narrow space, in the chaotic situation of thousands of war horses charging, it was difficult for his order to be executed immediately. Even the samurai around him began to stop, and the large group of men and horses behind continued to rush forward, and before half of his orders were delivered, most of the men and horses he led had already entered the city.

At this moment, the men who rushed to the front to check the situation rushed back with a roar, and some panicked reports that the second gate in front of them had not been opened, and the heavy gate was closed deadly. And not only that, the city wall seems to be covered with armor, which is not right!

The eldest prince is not a reckless man who only knows how to kill. He immediately realized the danger. Give the order now, and retreat quickly! Evacuate the city first.

It's just that by the time he began to wake up, it was already too late. I could only hear the war drums on both sides of the city beating suddenly, like a thunderous storm. Countless torches lit up, and the glow of armor and swords and arrows was chilling.

Almost at the same time, the outer gates of the cave began to close. The wrestlers at the head of the city twisted the iron locks, and the huge drawbridge was pulled up first. Some cavalrymen who were still entering the city behind were caught off guard, and even men and horses fell into the moat. Before they could get up their minds, a rain of arrows from the top of the city came and killed them all in the river. And there are still thousands of people who have not entered the city behind, and when they see that the situation is not good, they turn around and run. A rain of arrows fell from the dark night sky, killing many more.

And in the midst of this rain of arrows and the sound of war drums, a handsome banner rose from the city. Under the light of the torches, countless armor soldiers surrounded a general, looking coldly below.

"Great Prince! We've been tricked. That's Li Mu...... He's not dead!"

A panicked shout rang out from the side, and the horses under the crotch of the steppe warriors began to spin uneasily. Mo Guang raised his knife with a gloomy face, and chopped the panicked samurai next to him off his horse with a single sword. At this time, without being reminded by anyone, he also understood that he had fallen into a trap, and the enemy was so cunning! At this time, the more important it is to stabilize the position first. However, he still didn't realize what kind of mortal situation he was in!

"Go all out and take the city! Kill Li Mu and reopen the city gates ......!"

Mo Guang's latest order has not yet been finished, but the drums in the city have stopped for a while, and someone laughs and says.

The thief listened, and everyone threw down their swords and dismounted, and tied their hands. Otherwise, death will be imminent!"

"Don't think! Rush me! ”

Mo Guang gritted his teeth and raised his knife and took the lead in killing the city. I hadn't taken three steps before I heard a loud bang and flying sand. The original position at the gate of the city was overturned on their backs, screaming for a long time. Immediately after, it was as if thunder had descended to the ground, and it continued to resound in this Weng City. After more than ten rings, it was already a mess.

Then, smoke billowed and fire rose. The inner city immediately became a living purgatory!
