"The lord, the lord, the barricade tactics have been a great success; It took less than an hour to annihilate tens of thousands of Xirong troops. "Li Wu reported as he ran in;" And more than 3,000 people were taken prisoner! ”

"Very good, take your crossbowmen, pikemen and shield soldiers with this king to the West City Gate for reinforcements." Guo Qi replied with a smile on his face; "All the prisoners were escorted to the prisoner of war camp outside the East Gate."

Guo Qi took Li Wugang out of the gate of the town guard mansion when he saw Chen Feng riding a horse over.

As soon as he saw Guo Qi, Chen Feng immediately dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said: "I am incompetent, so I have come to ask the lord for guilt." ”

"What's wrong, tell me!" Guo Qi rode on Chasing the Wind and asked Chen Feng.

"Humble and incompetent, there was no Xirong army that could completely annihilate the raid on the treasury, so that part of the thief army ran away." Chen Feng was very ashamed.

"How much did you run?"

"There were four or five thousand of them."

Guo Qi frowned and said, "Go back immediately and take yours to the West City Gate to assemble." ”

"No! Commanded by humility. Chen Feng didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately took the order to carry it out.

——————

Time goes back a little bit.

Tang Bi and Zhuo Yidao respectively led the elite troops of the two prefectures to recapture the West City Gate and the Weng City along the north and south city walls with the cooperation of the 'death battalion'; and then they concentrated the only forces in their hands and began to fight back; because the Yong army had complete city defense equipment in their hands and a large number of bows and crossbows, they caused great casualties to the attacking Xirong army.

"General, it's already the third attack." The adjutant general said to Fu Buyan: "The enemy occupies the city wall condescendingly, and the bows and crossbows are dense, and with the addition of thunder stones and rolling wood, it has caused great casualties to our army, and so far our army has suffered more than 2,000 casualties. ”

"Damn, Yongjun was premeditated, this is a trap." He said angrily.

"Traps? This ......" The adjutant general said with some trepidation: "General, what should we do next?" ”

"You continue to attack the walls with a part of your men." "Remember not to fight hard, as long as you can hold off the defenders on the city wall." ”

"No! The last general commanded. The adjutant general ordered: "What about you, general?" ”

"Me." Zhi Fu Bu sneered: "I will take the rest of the men and horses to support the attack on the town guard, as long as we can take the town guard, then we will win this battle." ”

"The general is wise."

Just when they were about to set off, the 10,000 people who went to attack the treasury would retreat back in embarrassment with the remnants of their troops.

"Smack!" He whipped a soldier who was fleeing and said, "What about you generals? Tell him to come to me. ”

The pawn immediately ran to find the 10,000 generals.

"The last general will see the general." Ten thousand people put their fists on their chests and bowed to them.

"What's going on? Didn't you let you lead the army to attack the treasury of Huangyang Guan? He asked the 10,000 generals.

"General Yu, we were attacked by the Yong army defending the city on the way, and the enemy army had a large number of crossbowmen, as well as bed crossbows." 10,000 people will report: "The last general is incompetent and failed to take the treasury of Huangyang Guan." ”

"Waste." Fu Fu was furious, drew a whip from 10,000 generals, and ordered: "Immediately gather the remaining soldiers and horses under your command, and support the attack of the town guard mansion with the general." ”

"No! The last general commanded. Ten thousand people will grit their teeth and answer.

Looking at the people who had gone away, they scolded in their hearts: "Phew, something; If it weren't for the commander's military order, Lao Tzu would have listened to you. ”

It didn't take long for the army to go, and it ran headlong into Guo Qi, who came to the west gate for reinforcements, and the two armies immediately fell into a melee; Because most of the troops under Guo Qi's command were soldiers from various prefectures and tuntian soldiers who were transferred from all over the country, they were not elite guards of the tooth army at all, so they suffered a little loss during the melee.

"Order, crossbowmen suppress the enemy, pikemen and giant shield soldiers immediately form a formation to meet the enemy." Guo Qi decisively issued a military order.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Under the suppression of the Yongjun crossbowmen, the Xirong army had to stop the pace of attack, taking advantage of this short gap time, the Yongjun pikemen and the giant shield soldiers quickly formed a phalanx, the giant shield soldiers in front, the pikemen in the back, and finally the crossbowmen responsible for fire suppression.

Although the individual combat ability of these Yongjun troops is not as good as that of the Xirong army, the cooperation between each other has reached the point of perfection, so after the Yongjun army formed a formation, the Yongjun army, which was originally at a disadvantage, began to gradually recover its disadvantage.

In the city streets, the spear forest formation formed by the Yongjun army can almost be said to have reached the point of invincibility, the giant shield in front can effectively protect the giant shield soldiers and the pikemen behind, and the spear protruding from the giant shield can provide protection for the shield, if you want not to be pierced by sharp spears, the Xirong army can only retreat step by step.

Of course, this military formation also has a weak point, that is, afraid of bed crossbows, as long as there is a row of bed crossbows, "whoosh, whoosh" to shoot a few small arm-thick crossbow arrows, you can instantly shatter the shield of the giant shield soldiers, even the shield soldiers and pikemen behind the giant shield can not be avoided, but although they have not been ambushed and are advancing lightly, there are no these heavy weapons!

"Crossbowman, give me arrows." He roared angrily.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" The sparse arrow rain of the Xirong army flew towards the Yongjun army's military formation.

"Ahh......h

But even so, not a single Yongjun soldier retreated, and the wounded and shot were immediately carried down and replenished by those behind, and the Yongjun army still steadily advanced.

"Crossbowmen, the crossbowmen who suppress the Xijon army." Guo Qi ordered very calmly: "Fifth son, you take some people and go to the rooftops on both sides to release arrows, and suppress them to the death for this king." ”

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

Under the pressure of the Yongjun army step by step, the activity space of the Xirong army was compressed step by step, and finally the remaining more than 7,000 Xirong soldiers were surrounded within a circle of 800 steps under the inner gate of Xicheng.

"General, what should we do next?" The adjutant general asked Xiang Fu Buyan: "When the Yongjun army recovers, we will never have a chance again." ”

The 10,000 generals suggested, "Why don't we retreat to the city of Urn!" Move the sandbags blocking the outer city gates, maybe there is still a way to live. ”

"Stupid." So far, he reprimanded the ten thousand generals and said: "We stay here, there are still these courtyards here that can be used as a cover, maybe there is a glimmer of life, and we will become a live target for the Yongjun crossbowmen when we retreat to the urn city." ”

In the face of the instructions that have not been exercised until now, all the people will be very angry, and their eyes will burst into flames.

"Listen to the surrounded Xirong army, my lord has a saying, 'Heaven has the virtue of a good life', as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and come out to surrender, we guarantee the safety of your lives." The soldiers of the Yongjun army who persuaded him to surrender shouted: "You and we have been fighting for most of the night, and you are all hungry!" Smell the fragrant broth? As long as you are willing to lay down your weapons and come out of it, everyone can drink a bowl of broth and eat a white flour flatbread......"
