Chapter 816: The Thistle Is Broken (Third Update)
As it turns out, even the best plan can still have some twists and turns.
Although it is said that five hundred lords and several hundred generals and tun chiefs were killed, but surprising things still happened, hundreds of Yan soldiers relied on their courage and good fighting on weekdays, and they reacted at the first time and firmly guarded the city gate.
Although the number of enemies in front of them was more than ten times that of them, these enemies were nothing more than a rabble of people like the Menkeshe, and in terms of combat strength, they were not at all the opponents of these elite Yan troops defending the city.
Dozens of leading doormen rushed forward with their bloody courage at the beginning, and then they were immediately killed by the Yan soldiers who cooperated extremely tacitly, and then the rest of them immediately panicked, and subconsciously retreated, only daring to shout and fight in the back, but they didn't dare to charge forward at all.
A whole tea time has passed, and the city gate has not been breached for a long time.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves outside the city was gradually approaching, bringing great pressure to everyone's hearts.
In addition, many nearby Yan troops also began to come back to their senses and move closer to this side.
At this moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from the side of the street, shouting: "Big guys, hurry up together, as long as you take the city gate, the whole city will be ours!" ”
As soon as the words fell, these figures immediately rushed into the position and fought with the soldiers defending the city of the Yan army.
It's strange to say, the soldiers of the Yan Army, who were in full swing when facing these doormen just now, were like cats meeting tigers after encountering these sudden figures, and several people were killed in an instant, and the formation was also a little chaotic.
These are the spies that Hu Yiwei ambushed before, and these spies of Hu Yiwei are all strong in martial arts, and they turned the situation around all of a sudden.
The blood irritated the otherwise cowering doormen, making them start to get ready to move.
At this time, someone shouted: "Quick, the marshal of Zhao Guo said that the first person to open the city gate will have a bounty of 10,000, and he can also enter Zhao State as an official!" ”
Under the temptation of official position and money, and at the same time with more than a dozen figures in front of him as an example, the bloodiness of the doormen was finally stimulated again, and Hulala rushed up and fought with the soldiers of the Yan army defending the city.
Yiqu Sheng was wearing a set of Zhao Guogu's standard armor of armored cavalry at the moment, as a rare tall person among the Yiqu people, Yi Qu Sheng was really effortless to wear this set of armor.
From Yiqu Sheng's own point of view, he actually enjoyed this feeling of charging into battle very much, especially the feeling of charging with the whole person wrapped in a big iron shell, it was very safe to think about it.
However, what made Yiqu Sheng unhappy was that the huge city was clearly in front of him, and he also heard the shouting and killing sound from the city, but the huge city gate in front of him never showed any signs of opening.
The distance between Yiqusheng and the city gate is constantly shortening, four, three, two......
Suddenly, four short horns sounded in a row, and Yi Qusheng subconsciously pulled the reins of the horse, and the speed of the whole person began to slow down slowly.
Behind Yi Qu Sheng, two thousand armored cavalry slowly slowed down, and then slowly stopped.
"What's going on?" Yi Qusheng asked with some annoyance about Li Mu, who was also in a set of heavy armor.
Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Now that the city gate has not been opened, maybe something has happened inside, let's stop for a while and wait for the city gate to open before making a decision." ”
Yi Qusheng patted the neighing mount under his crotch, and after calming down, he said angrily to Li Mu: "This place is at least a mile away from the city gate!" ”
Li Mu snorted and said, "The armored cavalry needs at least a mile and a half to charge to get up to speed, otherwise there will be no impact at all!" ”
Yiqusheng was helpless, so he had to press the anxiety in his heart, holding a torch in his hand and anxiously waiting for the opening of the city gate in front of him.
A large group of cavalry holding torches standing under the city is undoubtedly very conspicuous, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves before can't hide from anyone, so there are many noises above the city of Jidu, and even many Yan soldiers began to shoot arrows from afar, but it is in vain to shoot arrows at such a distance.
Yi Qusheng looked at the head of the Jidu City that was gradually brightening, and roared with some irritation: "Things are not good, I think we should retreat immediately!" ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's wait." ”
Yiqu Sheng said: "But now it is almost half an hour since the agreed time, and it has been agreed in advance, as long as it is past half an hour, we must retreat!" ”
Li Mu was unmoved.
Seeing this, Yiqu Sheng had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart and wait quietly with Li Mu.
Suddenly, there was a series of creaking sounds from the city gate in front of the two, and a ray of light shone out through the crack in the open gate, and it was very clear that Yiqu Sheng's eyes were incomparably clear.
The gates are opening!
Yiqusheng was overjoyed in his heart, and pinched the horse's belly hard: "Drive!" ”
It was at this moment that the long horn sounded again.
This is the order to charge!
The phalanx of armored cavalry picked up again and rushed towards the gate of Jidu not far in front of them.
The gap in the city gate is getting bigger and bigger, and with his extraordinary eyesight, Yi Qusheng can even vaguely see the countless beating and fighting figures behind the city gate.
The shouts of killing kept coming, and the smell of blood began to come from the air, and Yi Qusheng suddenly felt that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling because of this.
Since becoming the king of Yiqu, although Yiqu Sheng will be on the battlefield in every battle, it has been a long time since he has experienced this feeling of charging on the front line.
Yiqu Sheng's body had even begun to tremble, and every pore on his body seemed to be cheering, ready for the battle that would surely come.
With the city gate already in sight, Yoshikyu glanced to the side and saw a figure walking alongside him at the forefront of all the armored cavalry.
Yiqusheng knew that it was Li Mu, and he also knew that Li Mu would charge forward in almost every battle.
To be honest, it's not a good habit.
But at this moment, Yiqu Sheng also fully understood why Li Mu was like this.
It's just that this feeling of being single-handedly in front and leading thousands of horses to sweep everything is so wonderful.
This wonderful feeling, Yiqu Sheng decided to enjoy it to himself!
So the next moment, Yi Qusheng whistled lowly, and the horse under his crotch instantly accelerated and rushed out, throwing off Li Mu's position.
Li Mu's crotch was also a horse, and when he saw this, he immediately let out a long neigh, and subconsciously wanted to follow.
But it was at this time that Li Mu suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pulled the reins of the horse, one person and one horse had already cooperated extremely skillfully, so the horse under Li Mu's crotch instantly understood the owner's intentions, not only did not continue to accelerate, but also slowed down a little bit.
It was between this back and forth that Yiqu Sheng finally completed the overtaking of Li Mu, and the whole person rushed into the city gate first.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Before the sound arrived, Yiqusheng's voice exploded in the city gate like thunder, and then rushed into the wide open city gate with countless echoes!
The dazzling firelight instantly filled Yi Qusheng's sight, and he almost subconsciously paused his eyes, and then immediately opened his eyes and looked at the battlefield in front of him.
Even if Yiqu Sheng has seen so many wars, he can't help but gasp at this moment.
Behind this gate, hundreds of corpses were poured horizontally, many of which were even stacked on top of each other, a little higher than the ground!
An army of three or four hundred people and very disorganized clothing was resisting the attack of the Yan soldiers, and it was obvious that this was the force that opened the city gates for the Zhao army.
The heavy smell of blood suddenly filled Yi Qu Sheng's nose, making Yi Qu Sheng even have a feeling that he couldn't breathe.
"Hell, what a fierce fight it takes to do!"
A piercing sound of breaking the sky came, Yi Qu Sheng subconsciously lowered his head, and several arrows shot down Yi Qu Sheng's body, clanging to make Yi Qu Sheng's body faintly numb.
Yi Qusheng raised his head again, only to find that about fifty paces in front of him there was already a group of Yan troops numbering about five or six hundred being assembled, and it was from that place that the arrows came.
Yiqu Sheng smiled and raised the saber in his hand: "Fools of the Yan Kingdom, let this king die!" ”
Yi Qu Sheng rushed wildly, shouting and breaking into the position of the Yan army, and countless blood would be splashed with a single sword.
Behind Yi Qusheng, Li Mu led the armored cavalry to roar in like a hurricane, and instantly swept through the entire city gate, rushing towards the Yan soldiers who still wanted to recapture the city gate.
With just one charge, the entire inner side of the city gate was once again occupied by blood, and the armored cavalry swept everything in front of them like a torrent of steel, running over the streets without stopping, all the way towards the Yanguo Palace City in the west.
This time it happened so quickly that before the Yan army at the other three city gates could react, the two thousand armored cavalry led by Li Mu and Yi Qusheng had already broken into the city!
If in the previous offensive and defensive battles, the soldiers of the Yan army were still able to give a fatal blow to the cavalry of the Zhao army with the thickness of the high walls of the city, then on the Jidu Street, which is enough to accommodate six horses in parallel, any Yan army unit that dares to block the armored cavalry will be mercilessly shocked and crushed.
Behind the armored cavalry, 8,000 Zhao cavalry quickly followed, dividing and annihilating the Yan troops that had just been routed again.
Countless fires erupted in the city of Jidu, and the melody of the flames became the theme song of tonight, shouts and screams resounded through the sky, and even the sky was reflected in blood red, as if to foreshadow this fierce battle in the city.
The shouting of killing lasted for a whole night, and when the light came to the earth again, the control of the capital of the Yan Kingdom finally completely changed hands and fell into the hands of Zhao Jun!
