Chapter 109: The Battle of Huangyang (7)
"How many people are left in the first group of troops to ascend the city?" Murong Trai asked.
"There are more than 15,000 people left."
"The order is that the second batch of troops will attack and capture Huangyang Pass in one go." Murong Chui gave the military order with a smile on his face.
"No! The last general commanded. ”
Under the command of Su Bubi, the second batch of more than 30,000 troops of the Xirong Army climbed the city, carrying simple ladders and pushing the few remaining siege vehicles to attack towards Huangyang Pass.
At the west outer gate of the urn city in the north of Huangyang Pass, the siege ram of the Xirong army has arrived, and it is violently hitting the city gate "knock, knock, knock......", and the heavy city gate begins to tremble under the blow of the siege ram, and the amplitude of the tremor is getting bigger and bigger.
Originally, the west outer gate was sealed with sandbags, but the last time the Yongjun army went out of the city to arrange the defense, the originally sealed outer gate was opened, and it has not been sealed again; Otherwise, the siege ram of the Xijon army would not have been able to hit the city gate.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the tall and heavy west outer gate of the North City slapped directly into the city gate hole, and the Xirong soldiers outside the city immediately swarmed in from the city gate hole; The battering ram was also retreated, ready to smash the second gate open.
Tang Bi, who was standing on the inner gate tower, said with a strange smile: "Put rockets into the urn city." ”
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
Hundreds of rockets shot down from the top of the city, and immediately ignited a sky-high fire after being grounded, and the entire urn city immediately turned into a sea of fire, and the Xirong army that entered the urn city was also engulfed in flames.
"Ahh Ah......h
"Help......"
All kinds of screams and wails are very penetrating.
Some of the Xirong soldiers who did not go deep into the urn city ran out of the city with flames all over them, and some people came up to help them extinguish the fire, but there was no way to extinguish the flames, not even rolling on the ground; As long as you are stained by this flame, there is only one end, and that is to be burned alive by the fire.
When the fire broke out in the urn city, the second batch of Xirong soldiers had already carried the simple ladder and had already killed under the city wall. The Yongjun army defending the city retreated step by step, and the west walls of the entire north and south cities of Huangyang Pass had been captured by the Xirong army.
"General Hu, let's hurry up! If you don't do it, this wall will really not be able to hold it. Chen Feng, who was covered in blood, suggested to Hu Qiong.
"Wait, the lord hasn't ordered it yet!" Hu Qiong pretended to be calm and said.
"Report, General; The walls south of the tower have all been lost, and part of the Xijon army has already entered the city. A lieutenant hurried over to report.
"General, hurry up! If you don't do it, it's really too late; If you don't make trouble, the whole southern city will be lost. Chen Feng said very eagerly.
The situation is critical, and Hu Qiong also understands that Hu Qiong is also struggling in her heart; Hu Qiong hesitated for a moment and ordered: "Chen Feng listened to the order, led an elite army, and killed all the Xirong troops who entered the city to Lao Tzu." ”
"No! The last general commanded. Chen Feng ordered: "Hey! ”
Looking at Chen Feng, who was leaving indignantly, Hu Qiong thought in his heart: "Lord, give the order quickly!" If you don't give the order, the last general will really not be able to hold on. ”
"You and Ben will kill together!" Hu Qiong picked up his war knife and led his own soldiers to kill from the city tower to the south.
It was a clash of flesh and blood, the head of the city was already red with blood, and with every breath there were people killed and wounded; However, all these soldiers of the Yongjun army had no regrets, because they understood that once the Huangyang Pass was breached, the Xirong army would drive straight in, and their relatives and homes would fall under the iron cavalry of Xirong.
On the arrow tower in the north city, Guo Qi saw everything on the city.
"It's time, herald!" Guo Qi said to the guards beside him.
With Guo Qi's order, the order flag began to flutter around the arrow tower as the center.
"General, you see that the lord has given the order." Li Wu pointed to the Ling Qi fluttering behind him.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and let the brothers release rockets and throw fierce fire oil cans." Tang Bi said eagerly.
"No! Commanded by humility. ”
Rockets and fiery oil canisters flew out of the city walls and inside the city, and landed under the walls outside the city, where they soon burst into flames; It turned out that Guo Qi had already arranged it, and the corpses abandoned by the Xirong army under the city wall before were sprinkled with fierce fire oil by Guo Qi, and as long as it was stained with a little spark, it would be ignited immediately.
With the fierce attack of the Xirong army, the corpse that was originally doused with fierce fire oil was pressed underneath, and although it took a little effort to ignite, it couldn't hold up the Yongjun's rockets! Coupled with the fierce fire oil tank, a string of fire dragons surrounded the western walls of the north and south cities of Wangyang Pass and burned.
All the siege equipment of the Xirong army and some of the soldiers under the city wall were burned by the fire, and the soldiers of the Xirong army who burned were crying for their father and mother! But it is useless to shout mercilessly from the fire, waiting for their fate, only to be burned to death by the fire.
Some of the soldiers who were behind saw the fire burning, decisively threw away the weapons in their hands, took off their armor while running, and even used their strength to feed, and finally got out of the fire.
"Beat the drums, counterattack." Looking at the fire burning outside the city, Guo Qi ordered very calmly.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
The drums of war sounded, and the elite of the Yongjun army, which had been recuperated, threw themselves into the counterattack.
Because the fire blocked the retreat of the Xirong army on the city wall and in the city, these Xirong troops had long been panicked and demoralized; The Yong army that was counterattacked was defeated and retreated, and soon the Xirong army in the city was completely slaughtered, and all the rest were cowered on the city wall.
"Brothers, there is the Yongjun army in front, and there is a fire in the back; Anyway, it's a death, it's better to fight with Yongjun. A 10,000-strong general of the Xijon army shouted.
"Whoosh, poof!"
An armor-piercing arrow pierced through the chest; Ten thousand people will fall unwillingly with their eyes wide open.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
The crossbowmen of the Yongjun army who re-ascended the city wall shot the crossbow arrows in their hands one after another, and the Xirong army, which had no shield protection, could only be shot mercilessly; Some Xirong soldiers carried waist knives to kill the Yongjun, and some lucky ones rushed to the Yongjun without being shot by crossbow arrows.
However, even if they rushed over, they could not hurt the soldiers of the Yongjun army in the slightest; At the forefront were the giant shield soldiers of the Yong army, and when they saw the Xirong army rushing up, the crossbowmen retreated one after another, and the pikemen moved forward; A forest of guns is formed in front of the shield, and as long as you rush up it is a death.
"Forward."
"Whew, Whew, Whew......"
Under the command of Li Wu, the soldiers of the Yongjun army shouted slogans and pushed the gun forest array slowly; The survival range of the Xirong army in the city was compressed step by step, and if they didn't want to die, they could only retreat.
"Bang dang."
I don't know who was the first to throw away the weapon in his hand and kneel on the ground to surrender to the Yongjun; Soon, under his leadership, the Xirong soldiers who did not want to die threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
Outside the city, looking at the fire that burned in front of Wangyang Pass, Murong Trai trembled in distress, this attack was not only cannon fodder, especially the second batch of elite infantry of the Xirong Army, plus the loss of so many siege equipment, it is no wonder that Murong Trai is not distressed!
"Guo Qi, when Lao Tzu breaks through Yongzhou, you must make your head into a wine cup (wine glass) to vent the anger in my heart." Murong said with a hideous face: "Order the army to return to the camp to rest." ”
