Chapter 220: The Gap

After all, after more than 700 years of wind and rain, although the Jinan City can still maintain its majesty, but if you look closely, the battlements on the city wall have been smoothed, and the city gates, towers, etc. are all gone.

After all, the city gate is an arched structure, after a long period of wind and sun, no matter how strong the rammed earth is, it has long been loosened and collapsed, and it has disappeared, so Li Xinchen The city wall they saw actually had large and small gaps, and the location of these gaps was also the city gate of the capital of the Chu State hundreds of years ago.

It's just that time flies, and all the prosperity of the year has turned into smoke, and it is good to be able to leave such a long city wall, talking about the city gate.

"There should be six or seven gates that can be seen in this Ji Nancheng now, but they are in line with the regulations of the capital of Chu back then." Pei Zilie put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "In addition, there are other gaps in the city wall, large and small, which should be washed by the rain." ”

Li Xinchen nodded: "After all, this Ji Nan City is a city hundreds of years ago, but it is not big, this time Bo Qing doesn't know what hysteria he is committing, so he didn't come to grab the job of killing the city first, but instead took a team of men and horses to the north and bypassed." ”

"He wants to encircle the three missing one," Pei Zilie smiled and shook his head, "Then we can only help him pray that the legs and feet of the Xiliang royal family are relatively neat, and he can escape before we can kill him, otherwise I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "It's almost time, attack? ”

Pei Zilie took a deep breath and looked at Ji Nancheng not far away, the barren grass swaying and crawling under his feet.

The sword in his hand was unsheathed, Pei Zilie roared, and jerked the war horse, the war horse neighed, and the people and horses jumped up from the tall barren grass, and the black-pressed Nanchen soldiers also stood up from their hiding places and rushed towards Ji Nancheng in front.

The sound of the "dong dong" drum came from the distant hillside, and in an instant it echoed throughout the wasteland, and the drum beat slammed into everyone's heart. The red flags symbolizing Nan Chen were no longer kept this time, fluttering in the wind and moving forward with the beat of the drums.

The Xiliang soldiers on guard in Ji Nan City obviously also noticed the approaching crowd, and immediately hurriedly knocked the golden gong on the city. The sound of gongs and drums complemented each other, and the shouts joined the ensemble in the wilderness a moment later.

"Shimayi, it's Shimayi!" A Xiliang soldier couldn't help but exclaim.

And the general behind him kicked him fiercely: "Don't scream, pick up your guy!" ”

A panicked Xiliang soldier hurriedly climbed the city wall, and as they climbed, the soil on the city wall that had been in disrepair for a long time continued to slide, and the entire city wall was surrounded by smoke and dust for a while.

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp, echoing in the minds of every Xiliang soldier, and it was getting closer and denser. One by one, figures leaped up from the barren grass and rushed into the smoke and dust.

"Here!" The general in charge of guarding this gap shouted, and the spear in his hand subconsciously stabbed forward, but in an instant, his eyes widened as he watched the bright blade appear at his neck.

Blood splattered, and it was obvious that the oncoming Nan Chen cavalry was moving faster and more ruthlessly than him!

The smoke and dust gradually subsided, and the Xiliang soldiers looked around in surprise, not knowing when, their enemies had appeared in their immediate vicinity.

"Put!" The Ziyun gun in Li Xinchen's hand waved and roared loudly.

A soldier named Nan Chen pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand at the same time, and the arrow roared and pierced into the chest of those Xiliang soldiers who were already out of order. The Nan Chen soldiers of the brigade also roared and rushed out from behind the crossbowmen, cutting down the few remaining Xiliang people to the ground.

"Don't fall in love with war, enter the city quickly!" Li Xinchen gave the order loudly and rushed forward first.

And Li Ping, Chen Zhishen and other Li Xinchen's personal entourage and subordinates also followed closely, and after a while, only the corpses of the Xiliang Praetorian Guards were left everywhere in this gap.

As for the Xiliang flag that was originally fluttering, I don't know who pulled it down, but it was replaced by the red flag of Nanchen, the flag was unfurled, and the Chen character on it seemed to come alive, proudly overlooking this city that had left too many regrets for the people of Nanchen.

The houses in the city had almost collapsed, and all corners were covered with weeds, and if it weren't for the fact that most of the streets were compacted, the grass growing on them would be sparse, and it would not even be possible to tell where the road was and where the houses were collapsed.

However, compared to these dilapidated houses, in the north of the city, there are several newly renovated houses, which stand out under the arch of many tents.

"That's it." Li Xinchen laughed, "Let's go!" ”

"Set fire, set fire to them!" There was a sudden roar of the Xiliang people in front, and a handful of firewood was hurriedly thrown into the middle of the road, followed by a few soldiers with torches running quickly.

Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, took off the crossbow on the saddle suddenly, and opened his bow and arrows in one go. And when he pulled the trigger, several energetic roars also came from his side, and Li Ping, Chen Zhishen and others also stretched their bows and arrows almost at the same speed, or even faster than Li Xinchen.

Those Xiliang soldiers screamed and fell with arrows, and Li Xinchen also knew that there was no room for hesitation, after all, they entered the city from the weakest place of the enemy's defense in the south of the city, and how much time the Xiliang royal family had to escape depended on how long it would take Li Xinchen to kill them from the south of the city to the north of the city.

"Kill!" Li Xinchen raised a cloud gun, the war horse neighed, and rushed straight forward.

The Xiliang Building, who had ordered the ignition before, burst out of the grass next to him, pulled the crossbow machine in his hand, and the arrows roared out and rushed straight towards Li Xinchen.

"Boss!" "Lord!" Li Ping and Chen Zhishen, who were closest to Li Xinchen, both shrank their pupils and quickly hit their horses forward.

And Li Xinchen let out a low shout, the Ziyun spear swept, knocked the arrow to the ground, and then slapped the war horse fiercely, and before the West Liang General could react, Li Xinchen's Ziyun spear had already pierced his chest.

The general hung his head weakly, and the blood splattered from his chest stained the white tassels of Ziyun Spear red.

"Keep moving!" Li Xinchen's clothes and armor were also sprinkled with a lot of blood spots, making him look more and more hideous, "Kill!" ”

"Kill-" Chen Zhishen and Li Ping raised their arms and shouted, and they all caught up with Li Xinchen.

————————————-

"Crossbowmen!" Pei Zilie ordered in a deep voice, and the arrows roared and jumped up from in front of him, and after they sank into the city wall, the screams were endless.

Although these soldiers of the Xiliang Praetorian Guard look strong, most of them, including the generals, even the generals who are taller than the generals, have not experienced battlefield battles, and most of them are no different from the generals who told Li Xinchen about the situation in the city and the generals.

From another point of view, the Northern Zhou people are obviously not very willing to see the Western Liang people fighting well, because this is not only not a good thing, but may increase the rebellion of the Western Liang people, which is naturally more than worth the loss.

And this also means that these generals of Xiliang still have a good understanding of the arrangement of troops on paper. For example, the enemy that Pei Zilie is facing now, the generals who commanded them did not let them go to the city in a hurry, so that the entire city wall was shrouded in smoke and dust, and in the end they didn't even know where the enemy rushed to, but they made a bigger mistake.
