Chapter 240: Retreat
Everyone couldn't help but admire after listening to Zhang Shumo's words, in such an urgent situation, it is not easy for Zhang Shumo to think for the long term.
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Zhang Shumo continued to talk about his plan: "We need to send someone to contact Leng Yu now, let him cheat, and give up the south gate and north gate of Dieling Pass to Jingguo, but at the same time, we also need to guard the city wall, so that Ji Wen cannot fully control Dieling Pass." When our army arrives, the soldiers of Jingguo will not fight desperately if they have a back road, so that we can easily drive them out of the northwest, and at the same time, we can take the opportunity to consume their troops! ”
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Jiao Qiang asked happily: "Who wants to be the first to go to Dieling Pass and deliver the news to Leng Yu?" ”
All the soldiers asked for their lives, and finally Jiao Qiang ordered Zhang Yan to rush to Dieling Pass at full speed with two hundred light horsemen to convey the news.
At this time, the south gate of Dieling Pass has been killed. Pang Yuan led the cavalry of the Wuxiu Army to forcibly attack the south gate, preventing the Jingguo soldiers from blocking the doorway. The Jingguo soldiers also tried their best to resist and prevent Pang Yuan from entering the city.
Since there were enemy troops in the north and south, Hao Yang took 5,000 soldiers to surround Ji Wen in the middle to prevent accidents. Ji Wen looked at the battle at the south gate and could not be stopped by the enemy army, and his heart was anxious: "You group of waste, aren't there only a few thousand enemy troops left at the north gate?" Why hasn't it been beaten yet? If the south side can't be defended, won't we be trapped in the Dieling Pass? ”
Hao Yang was also anxious, but he was more worried about Ji Wen's safety, so he didn't dare to leave Ji Wen half a step, so he had to comfort Ji Wen and said: "Don't worry, the enemy army in the city is already at the end of the crossbow, and I believe that General Ma Hua will be able to defeat it soon." The south door is narrow, and it took our army more than half a day to attack it, and I believe that the enemy army outside the city will be difficult to achieve for a while! ”
It can be said that after all, the soldiers of Jingguo have been tired for a day and a night, and even if they are strong now, their combat power has decreased a lot.
Pang Yuan was already determined to die, so he was even more ferocious than usual. Seeing that the enemy's feet were weak and weak, he did not hesitate to attack the opponent's lower plate.
One soldier couldn't retreat, and was picked up by Pang Yuan's knife, which frightened the other soldiers to quickly take a half step back, leaving an empty space at the door of the south gate.
Pang Yuan took the opportunity to rush into the city with his soldiers, but he did not rush in, but only stood in front of the south gate to pave the way for the large army to enter the city.
Seeing that the south gate was lost, Ji Wen became even more anxious, and directly pulled out his long sword and said to Hao Yang: "You can't wait for Ma Hua to be that waste, if you wait any longer, this king will become a prisoner of others!" You immediately lead your troops to storm the north gate, and you can't attack it! ”
Hao Yang gritted his teeth, left three thousand soldiers to protect Ji Wen, and led others to kill the north gate.
At this time, Leng Yu was covered in blood, still standing at the front of the team, gritting his teeth and fighting with the Jingguo soldiers. But he has been fighting all afternoon, he has long lost his strength, and now he is fighting with all his perseverance. If it weren't for the enemy's consent and exhaustion, I'm afraid he would have been unable to resist.
Another wave of soldiers rushed over, and Leng Yu mechanically stabbed out a spear that pierced through the enemy's chest. But when he tried to pull out the spear, he found that his hands were no longer obedient, and the spear was as heavy as lead, and he could not pull it out at all.
An enemy soldier took the opportunity to stab Leng Yu with a halberd, and Leng Yu threw away the spear in his hand and held the halberd. But soon other halberds stabbed over, and Leng Yu was overwhelmed, and was finally pierced through the chest by the enemy!
When the soldiers of the Western Route Army found that Leng Yu had died in battle, they were directly red-eyed, and rushed towards the enemy like crazy, and the formation was instantly scattered. Seeing this, Ma Hua was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to kill him. The soldiers of the Western Route Army without the protection of the formation were not as strong as before, and the Jingguo soldiers began to exchange lives with the Western Route Army by virtue of their numerical advantage.
Soon, Hao Yang also brought people to join the battle, which directly accelerated the demise of the Western Route Army, and after an afternoon of fighting, a total of 10,000 Western Route Army in the next phase of Chengjiajialing Pass were all killed!
After solving the Western Route Army in the city, Ma Hua immediately led his troops to the south gate to prevent the enemy troops outside the city from rushing in. Hao Yang reported the battle situation to Ji Wen as soon as possible.
Ji Wen was a little relieved to learn that the enemy army in the city had been wiped out, but he still retreated to the north gate, and if the momentum was not right, he would flee as soon as possible.
After Ma Hua led the troops to support the South Gate, Pang Yuan's pressure increased dramatically. Fortunately, the place near the door hole was narrow, and the enemy's numerical advantage could not be brought into play, and Pang Yuan only needed to keep the gate open, so the two sides were in a stalemate.
At this time, Zhang Yan rushed to Dieling Pass with two hundred light horses. Seeing the cavalry of the Wuxiu Army blocking the door, Zhang Yan couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Jingguo army has already occupied Dieling Pass? This is not what you gentlemen speculated!
Zhang Yan hurriedly pulled one of Pang Yuan's subordinates to inquire about the situation, and learned that the enemy had indeed entered the city, but there might still be the Western Route Army resisting in the city, Zhang Yan immediately decided to risk his life to enter the city to deliver the news. He saw that the ladder used by Jingguo to attack the city was still outside the city, so he gritted his teeth and led his men to climb the city wall from the ladder.
Since the people of Jingguo focused their energy on the door, there was almost no defense on the city wall, and Zhang Yan easily climbed the city wall with two hundred men. Zhang Yan stood at the top of the wall and looked into the Dieling Pass, but he couldn't see the figure of the Western Route Army at all, and a sense of grief and indignation arose. Seeing Ji Wen's car, Zhang Yan directly raised his spear and shouted at Ji Wen: "Ji Wen's dog thief, kill my compatriots, you will have no return today!" ”
Ji Wengang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Zhang Yan's shout, he hurriedly looked at the city wall, and couldn't help but be shocked: "How do you defend the city?" The enemy has already stormed the city walls and still doesn't know? ”
When Hao Yang saw it, he immediately sent people to resist, and Ji Wen ordered someone to open the north gate and prepare to escape.
Seeing this, Ma Hua hurriedly came to Ji Wen's side and asked for instructions: "Lord Wang, the south gate has been controlled by our army, as long as we hold the city wall, the enemy army should not be able to attack it." If we retreat, our battle will be in vain! ”
Ji Wen was already anxious: "Still guarding a fart!" The enemy has taken the gates and walls, so it's no wonder you idiots can hold it! Open the north gate and withdraw to the country first! ”
"But we still have more than 10,000 soldiers in the next city, let's withdraw to the country, what will they do?" Ma Hua hurriedly asked.
Ji Wen said impatiently: "As long as they can't hold out, when the reinforcements sent by the king arrive, we will definitely fight back, and sooner or later we can save them!" ”
Yang Xue rolled her eyes and took the opportunity to say: "Lord Wang, even if you want to retreat, you can't retreat, you have to leave someone here to drag the enemy army." Otherwise, if the enemy pursues the victory, our army may suffer misfortune! ”
Ji Wen couldn't help but nodded: "That's right, that's right!" Aifei reminded that. Ma Hua, since you want to guard, then the king will give you 5,000 men and horses to guard the city, if you keep it, I will report to the king and give you a great record! ”
