The enemy squad rushed quickly, and the dozen or so soldiers defending the city fired a few arrows and fled with a shout.

Of course, this was all planned, the enemy took a ladder to climb the city wall, because the city wall of Yangzhou City was relatively low, and this group of pioneers was well-trained, they quickly climbed to the head of the city, cut the moat bridge rope, opened the city gate, and blew the horn to prompt the troops behind.

Not long after, Guan Jingyun's cavalry rushed in, and Tang Yuan leaned on the roof and watched, silent.

The cavalry came in and took a look, and sure enough, it was an empty city, so they marched to the west and south, and Han Dang also received a message over there, saying that someone would hit your back in a while, so you could prepare in advance.

Han Dang was puzzled and asked the herald, wasn't Tang Yuan guarding the north gate and the east gate, why did anyone come in?

The herald said: "General Tang wants to lure the enemy deeper." ”

Han Dang scolded, but he had no choice but to continue to resist the enemy's siege, and at the same time gather some spearmen and hide in a hidden place, preparing to sneak attack the enemy's cavalry.

"Give me how many tripping horses, hooks, guns, and thistles are there, and today Lao Tzu is going to fight with Guan Jingyun in Yangzhou!"

Han Dang's side was ready, the enemy's infantry also began to charge, Yangzhou City was three streets east and west, five roads north and south, the enemy rushed in from the middle street and the third road, when they met in the cross street in the center of the city, Tang Yuan suddenly ordered to blow the trumpet of the charge.

An ambush street battle broke out suddenly.

With a few snaps of the fingers, tens of thousands of arrows were fired, and the enemy soldiers fell in pieces.

According to preliminary estimates, the first round of archery will destroy at least 5,000 enemy troops. At this time, half of the enemy troops had not entered, and the people who had come recently were already panicking.

Except for the cavalry who was strangled with Han Dang, who was lucky and was not shot by arrows, the other troops were so frightened that they began to look for cover, or jump into civilian houses to hide. As a result, it's okay not to jump in, but as soon as you jump in, it's the spear and knife that catches them.

"Puff puff" There was a sound of chopping and chopping meat, which was terrifying.

"Take back the gates! Close the gates, and don't let anyone out! Tang Yuan shouted.

At the same time, the enemy lieutenant general also shouted: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”

The people outside were still rushing in, but the people inside were running out, and in an instant, the city gate was about to be crowded by the enemy.

There were quite a few people who died by stampeding, and all the horses were squeezed down.

Tang Yuan ordered to release rockets and shoot them into the pile. The pine oil set fire to the enemy's clothes, and the tragedy was indescribable.

The second round of shooting, coupled with the enemy troops trampling on each other, estimated the loss of at least 2,000 people, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the enemy army was wiped out with 7,000 people, and Guan Jingyun, the great Taibao outside the city, did not know it, knowing that he saw a great chaos at the gate of the city, and even the Zhonglang generals rushed out in disgrace, he knew that the matter was serious.

"Line up to prevent the enemy from counterattacking!" Guan Jingyun shouted and stopped the second division at the same time.

Tang Yuan looked at the formation outside the city, and suddenly smiled: "Close the door, let's not go out." In addition, there are still a lot of enemy troops in the city, so let's speed up the investigation and don't let them make trouble. ”

"Report to the general, just now a group of people rushed into the courtyard where Miss You is." A soldier beside Zhang Ga ran over in a panic.

"What?" Tang Yuan was taken aback: "Where is Zhang Ga?" ”

"Captain Zhang is injured."

"Where's Miss You?"

"I ran back to report the news, I don't know what happened to Miss You, maybe it's still in the cellar." The little soldier cried.

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Tang Yuan became angry and shouted, "Horse Ben!" Go check it out! ”

"If you care, you can go and see for yourself, and I'll leave it here." Nalan channeled.

"As the main general, how can you easily leave and lower the flag." Tang Yuan said: "I care more about the whole army. Once I leave to lower the flag, it may be demoralizing, in that case, the loss will be too great. ”

——

Tang Hu led the cavalry to rush everywhere, killing no one, he ran to the Han Dang defense area and helped Han Dang kill the group of cavalry.

After killing it cleanly, Tang Hu asked the soldiers to take the horse away, but Han Dang disagreed.

Han Dang said: "We are ambushing here, infantry against cavalry, and we have suffered heavy losses. I don't think it's appropriate that you, not me, will clean up the battlefield in the end. ”

Tang Hu said: "If I don't come, you will have to fight for at least two quarters of an hour, and how many people will die in two quarters of an hour, you haven't calculated." I exchange these horses for those people's lives, what do you have to complain about, what's the matter, human life is not worth as much as a horse life in your eyes? ”

Han Dang said: "What you said is quite unreasonable, I value human life, and I also value these horses." When we were engaged in battle with the enemy cavalry, although I did not say it, everyone knew in their hearts that whoever could grab a horse would be promoted to cavalry. Now you suddenly took the horse away, how do you let me explain to the soldiers? This is a traditional rule in our army. You can't be discarded because of you. ”

Tang Hu was arrogant, and he had to let his subordinates grab horses.

Han Dang didn't let it.

Soldiers on both sides began to push.

Later, Chen Bao ran over when he heard the news, pointed at Han Dang and said: "You person, my brother helped you repel the enemy army, why don't you know how to be grateful, but compete with him for war horses?" I see that there are only six or seven hundred uninjured horses here, so if you give them to him, what else can you do? ”

Chen Bao and Tang Hu's martial arts have become the best in the Flying Tiger Army, and although these two are only leading a regiment to run around, in fact, their military ranks have reached the rank of Zhonglang General. On the same level as Han Dang.

In this case, Han Dang was not good at overpowering people, but said: "Since you two can't understand the reason, I think let's go to Tang Yuan to comment." I know that you are a brother who worships the son, and if he can rule fairly, it will be fine, if he is partial to you, we will go to Zhang Dashuai to judge. I don't believe it, there is no place to judge in the army. ”

Chen Bao squinted his eyes, and had murderous thoughts in his heart, but after thinking about it, it was better not to make trouble for Tang Yuan, so he said, "Then one and a half." ”

This time, Han Dang found face, and Tang Hu did not suffer a loss, Tang Hu snatched four hundred horses that were not injured and dispersed.

There were still two or three hundred good horses left, and some wounded horses.

Some of them were slightly wounded, not considered sick, and some were seriously wounded and lame, and in this time of war, these horses must become food for the soldiers.

This is also the fate of war horses.

Guan Jingyun rushed into the city with a division and was annihilated, so angry that he screamed violently, and ordered people to tie up all the servants and kill them with a rod!

But at this time, Guan Jinglin, the second Taibao, stood up and said: "He just fell for the enemy's tricks, not his intention, so he doesn't have to be so responsible." I think it's enough to beat him with twenty sticks. ”。

"Your people, you blatantly protect?" Guan Jingyun glared.

"If it were your people, would you just pull it out and kill it with a cane?" Guan Jinglin squinted his eyes and said: "Moreover, it's not just the capital that is in the middle of the plan, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, don't you have responsibility?" You are also in the scheme, do you want to be killed with a cane? ”
