Chapter 280: Trapping the Urn City
Wan Yan Yong looked in the direction of Lemi's finger, and under the firelight, the beard on Zamuhe's face was particularly eye-catching, and he said hatefully: "Let them in, tie Zamuhe to me to see me!" ”
Lemi agreed, and hurriedly passed the order.
Ahead, the sound of hooves was loud, and a group of Han heavy armored cavalry had already rushed over and was rapidly approaching the Jin army gate.
"Open the door!" Lemi was anxious and urged loudly.
A crack was opened in the city gate, and the defeated soldiers of the Jin army, who had been waiting outside the city, cheered loudly and rushed into the door.
"That's not right!" Wan Yanyong suddenly shouted: "How can there be a Chinese dialect here!" ”
It was too late, it was fast, and the screams of the Jin army guarding the gate had already sounded under the city gate, and hundreds of Jin soldiers disguised by the Han people poured in, and the city gate was wide open, and this impregnable Lanzhou city was actually broken like this.
"Bastard!" Wan Yan Yong was shocked and angry, in the firelight, he saw that "Zha Muhe" had wiped off his beard with his hand, but it was a Han soldier, it turned out that Wei Qing calculated that the arrival of the Han army under the city must have made Wan Yan Yong unexpected, so he asked Chen Qingzhi to find a Han soldier who was somewhat similar to Zha Muhe, and put on a big beard, plus it was late, and he couldn't see clearly under the firelight, Wan Yan Yong saw the defeat of the Jin army, and the first thought was naturally that this was the defeated army of Dingxi, and Dingxi was commanded by Zha Muhe, with this preconceived concept, If you see a person who is similar to Zamuhe, you will naturally think that this is Zamuhe.
The shouting and killing under the city gate was loud, Chen Qingzhi led hundreds of death squads to occupy the city gate, behind him, the Han army's heavy armored cavalry originally pretended to be chasing and killing the defeated soldiers of the Jin army, and now it is just coming to help, this city gate is considered to have been captured, on the left side, the car rumbles, Liu Qi led more than 100 ironclad cars to the city, and many bullet nets were installed on the ironclad cars, this bullet net is made of tendon tendon with strong toughness, the four corners are fixed, the Han soldiers jumped up from the side, jumped hard to the bullet net, jumped up with the force of the bullet net, this car was already two people high, This jump is already close to the height of the city wall, people in the air with a wave of their hands, a shape like a tiger's claw to grasp the city wall has been caught on the city wall, and then pull the rope connected to the city climbing, people have jumped on the city wall by force, this bullet net is much faster than the ladder, and it is not easy to defend, the Han soldiers took advantage of the fact that the Jin soldiers were not completely deployed on the city wall, and they bounced up to the city, seeing that hundreds of people have gone to the city in a blink of an eye, and the defense of the city wall has been unable to hold.
"Back off, back off!" Seeing that the city wall could not be defended, and a new line of defense could not be established if it was entangled, he ordered again and again, and all the soldiers of the Jin army retreated one after another, and the soldiers of the Han army shouted loudly to kill the city, and at the city gate, a group of soldiers rushed in, and a general took the lead, it was Ma Chao.
It turned out that Ma Chao saw that Wei Qing didn't specifically instruct himself this time, and he was angry, secretly thinking that this time he must show his means, so that General Wei knew that he was also a person who could fight in battle, so without waiting for his brigade to come, he had already rushed directly into the city gate with a team of 1,000 people and rushed into the city.
Ma Chao saw the Jin army retreating, his heart was overjoyed, and he rushed forward with the soldiers, only to enter a street and alley, and there was a loud bang behind him, only to see a huge iron gate falling from mid-air, and suddenly cut Ma Chao and the Han army behind him into two, Ma Chao was shocked, and hurriedly looked left and right, trying to find a way to bypass, but saw that the city walls on the left and right sides were raised, and there was no road.
Ma Chao's head buzzed, this is Urn City.
The urn city is to strengthen the defense of the castle or pass, and the semi-circular or square gate gate city built outside the city gate, the two sides of the city are connected with the city wall to establish together, with the arrow tower, the gate gate, the pheasant moat and other defense facilities, the height is the same as the big city, the round one is like an urn, so it is called the urn city; Fang is also known as the square city, when the enemy attacks the urn city, such as the main city gate and the urn city gate closed, the defenders can form a "turtle in the urn" to the enemy, this kind of urn city is not only effective in dealing with strong enemies to attack, but also more effective in dealing with the enemy's sneak attack, you must know that the sneak attack of the enemy can only break through a city gate, it is impossible to successfully sneak attack several city gates in a row, once there is a sneak attack of the enemy successfully conquering the outer gate, as long as the inner gate of the urn city is closed, the enemy's sneak attack will fail, and the defenders gather strength on the main city and then counterattack along the city wall, If the enemy who has already climbed the city wall is defeated, the enemy who has already entered the city will be locked up in the city, and a massacre will follow, because the enemy who has entered the city will not be able to advance, there is no way back, and the city wall is surrounded on all sides, and can only be shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows on all sides.
However, this kind of urn city is built outside the main city, and it is clear at a glance when attacking, there is no urn city outside Lanzhou City, so Ma Chao did not guard against this, never thought that the urn city in Lanzhou was actually located in the city, and it was an urn city as soon as it entered the city.
Such an urn city set up in the city can only be set up in a big city like Lanzhou, otherwise the four urn cities will occupy half of the area of the whole city, and there will be no people living in the city.
As soon as Ma Chao found out that this was the urn city, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and saw the figures on the city walls on the left and right sides shaking, and the archers of the Jin army had already begun to line up on the city wall.
"Attack on both sides, at all costs, storm the walls!" Ma Chao shouted, feeling his voice change tone.
At this time, Ma Chao's subordinates also saw the situation clearly, and the soldiers were all frightened, and when they heard Ma Chao's order, they shouted in unison, and the soldiers were divided into left and right, rushing straight to the city walls on both sides, but when everyone arrived under the city walls, they were all dumbfounded: they didn't have the tools to climb the city at all, how to attack the city wall.
"Stacking Arhats!" I don't know which soldier was in a hurry, a shout, the soldiers stacked up one after another, not to half the height of the city wall, suddenly heard a horn sound, arrows rained down in all directions, and the Jin army began to release arrows to the Han soldiers in the urn city.
Arrows rained down in all directions, the Han soldiers fell one by one, batches, screams came and went, Ma Chao clenched his long sword, his eyes were full of anger, he knew that it was his fault, if he didn't attack the city so quickly, but advanced step by step, this thousand people would not have died so tragically, and died so worthless, as for himself, he deserved to die, because he was in danger lightly, and he also took a thousand lives.
"General, be careful!" The figure flickered, a soldier rushed up, almost at the same time, a row of arrows rained down, seventeen or eighteen arrows were all shot at the back of the soldier, the soldier screamed, hit Ma Chao, and the body fell to the ground with Ma Chao.
"Protect the general, protect the general!" With the shouting, seven or eight soldiers rushed to cover Ma Chao with their bodies, Ma Chao was knocked to the ground by the corpse of the soldier, and before he could push the corpse away, seven or eight soldiers had already pressed Ma Chao under him, through the gap between the soldiers' bodies, Ma Chao saw that the arrow rain flew again, and the soldiers were at least hit by seven or eight arrows, several soldiers screamed miserably, but no one was willing to move, and in a blink of an eye, they were all dead.
The corners of Ma Chao's mouth were bleeding, it was not the result of injury, it was that he bit his lip and bit it too hard, he couldn't repay these soldiers, these soldiers used their bodies as shields, leaving him a chance to live, but leaving death to himself, the reason was just two words: "General!" ”
Ma Chao let out an angry roar in his throat, he pushed away the corpses of the soldiers, and stood up, since he led the soldiers to death, he would never be a coward, if he wanted to die, he would never live.
Suddenly, a figure flew down on the city wall from the outside like a big bird, the sword in this man's hand was brilliant, he went on a rampage, the bows and arrows and weapons of the Jin army were completely useless on him, and this person's sword quickly lengthened with the fall of the Jin army.
"General Wei!" Ma Chao Daxi.
The one who came was Wei Qing.
Wei Qing was commanding the troops to enter the city, and suddenly heard an urgent report: General Ma and a thousand people were isolated in the urn city, Wei Qing's surprise was not trivial, he knew what the urn city was set up for? If it is too late to be saved, Ma Chao can only be dead or alive, but there is an urn city in the city, the passage is naturally narrow, and the Han army troops are moving forward, and they can't transport the siege equipment to the urn city in a hurry, Wei Qing saw that the time was pressing, and suddenly shouted, jumped up, and with a wave of the Chixiao sword in his hand, he had pierced a hole in the wall of the urn city, and with this force, he jumped hard, this leap was really like a shock, straight to the city wall, the Jin army and the Han army shouted in unison, and everyone didn't expect Wei Qing's leap to jump so high.
Wei Qing jumped on the city wall, what caught his eye was a corpse, thousands of Han soldiers, the casualties had already been more than half, and there was no need to save the wounded if it was a moment too late, just waiting for the corpse to be collected.
On the other side, a huge mace suddenly appeared, the mace swept, and four or five archers of the Jin Army flew straight out, only to see Chen Qingzhi also rushing up to the city.
Chen Qingzhi saw that Wei Qing jumped into the city with his strength, worried that Wei Qing was alone, he sent the mace in his left hand forward, and the head of the mace had been inserted into the city wall.
As soon as he got on the wall, Chen Qingzhi saw that Wei Qing had almost rushed the Jin army on the left side of the city wall, and when he killed to the right, the Jin army on the right fell into the urn city one after another, and the surviving Han soldiers in the urn city would hesitate and immediately rush up to kill wildly.
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the wall of the urn city was actually blown open a hole, and it turned out that Mulan was ordered to make a huge powder keg with the secret recipe of "gunpowder" contained in Pang Tong's suicide note, which was intended to be used in case the Lanzhou city gate could not be opened, but although the Lanzhou city gate was overcome, it was blocked by the urn city, and this powder keg came in handy.
Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
