Chapter 128: Chengdu Cracks Down on Thieves (29)
Like a tiger entering a wolf pack, after the war horse stopped, a hundred heavy horsemen began to wave the four-meter giant lance in their hands, and all those who were hit were all broken bones. However, the sporadic attacks of the rebels were like stones sinking into the sea without any effect after encountering the heavy cavalry of the Shence Army, and those rebels who looked extremely powerful on weekdays could only be anxious after encountering these hundred steel bumps, and any moves did not work at this time, and some could only add some jingling accompaniment to this massacre.
Soon, the shield wall at the main road crossing also began to move forward and approach, and the remaining nearly a thousand Shence troops also quickly pressed up. Not long ago, the left and right armies had already drilled into the alleys on both sides, and at this time they also began to emerge from the exits of the streets and alleys, completely enveloping the rebels gathered near the city gate, and then slowly retracted, slowly eating away at the prey in front of them.
General Yu at the head of the city didn't care about the situation under the city at this time, and left all the archers in place to resist Niu Fei's attack, but he quickly fled towards Chen Jingxuan on the north city wall under the support of his own guards.
The remaining archers had lost their fighting spirit, and at this time, when they saw that their master would take the lead in turning around and fleeing, and then looking at their own brothers who had been wrapped in dumplings and waiting to be slaughtered in the city, they also happily threw down the bows and crossbows in their hands, and squatted in place with their heads in their hands, leaning on the city wall tightly, waiting for the victor Niu Fei to come and land.
Seeing this, Niu Fei didn't embarrass them too much, and quickly waved his hand to stop the killing of his subordinates, cut off the banner inserted at the battlement, and shouted: "Brothers! Chop the flag! Welcome me Brother Feng into the city!! ”
As soon as the words fell, a shout of victory broke out, and then, the flags fluttering in the wind were cut off and fell outside the city along the battlements, and even if they fell on the city wall, the people nearby would quickly pick them up and throw them down.
"You're surrounded! Put down your weapons! Otherwise, there will be no mercy!! Niu Fei ran to the top of the city gate, lay down at the battlement, shouted at the rebels below, and threw down the few flags he had collected in his hand.
The defenders near the city gate have long been beaten and cried for their fathers and mothers, and the screams and wails have long been chaotic, and some people want to escape, but as soon as they squeeze through the crowd, they will be cut down by the swords that come from the attack, and the companions who follow will naturally turn around and return excitedly. Originally, they didn't hear Niu Fei's shout, but suddenly dropped a few flags from the city, and then found that a few more shots were dropped one after another, and the rebels who did not participate in the battle behind the encirclement looked up to check, and saw Niu Fei lying at the battlement mouth while throwing down the flags handed over by his subordinates on the side, while opening his mouth wide and yelling.
Even if they couldn't hear what Niu Fei was shouting, everyone understood that it was definitely not for them to pick up their weapons and resist stubbornly. Soon, a few nimble guys in the crowd threw away their weapons and at the same time raised their hands above the top and screamed in the crowd: "Surrender!!" Surrender..!! ”
The rebels who were still fighting on the front line of the encirclement were stunned when they heard this, but when they looked back to see what had happened, they were either knocked away by the whirring horses or cut down by the soldiers of the Shence Army who came forward. But sooner the rebellions began to retreat into the caves, and many of the rebels who did not want to lose their lives began to throw away their weapons and join the queue shouting for surrender.
Of course, there are also loyal people among them, who naturally continue to rush forward with their weapons with a dissatisfied face, but often only a few steps out, they will be stabbed through the body by the Shence army holding a three-meter-long lance, and slowly die with unwilling eyes.
When the war reached this situation, there was no need for Zhong Lihao and other heavy cavalry to continue fighting, after all, it was still difficult for heavy cavalry to move again in the crowd. Stretched out his hand to pull up the face armor, and with the help of several guards who rushed forward, Zhong Lihao dismounted smoothly, removed the heavy armor on his body, and then personally led the guards to walk towards the city cave. In this short period of time, several generals under Zhongli Hao's command had already sent men to drive the surrendered rebels away from the city cave like sheep, and found a vacant space nearby to settle down.
Lin Feng and Mao Hao's winged cavalry regiment outside the city, when they saw that the flags began to fall at the head of the city, had already begun to urge the war horses again and rushed towards the west gate of Chengdu Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Zhong Lihao leading a group of generals under his command to open the door and greet him, and there was still some distance from Lin Feng, so he took the lead in kneeling down on one knee and reporting with his hand: "Zhong Lihao, the left army of Shence, was ordered to order Lord Liu Yonghao Liu to come to greet the loyal Wuhan Guogong!" ”
"It turned out to be General Zhongli! Hurry up, please! Lin Feng urged him to step forward, and at the same time waved his hand and said politely: "This time I can capture Chengdu Mansion, and General Zhongli will be the leader!" Afterwards, I will personally explain this matter to the emperor! ”
"The last general will not dare to take credit! As the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, it should be so! Zhong Lihao was not stupid, he hurriedly shook his head and refused, and at the same time complimented Lin Feng: "This battle completely depends on the Duke of Han, if it is not for the strategy of the Duke of Han and the full cooperation of the Feng family's army, relying on the thousands of soldiers of our Divine Strategy Left Army alone will definitely increase the casualties!" ”
"Han Guogong! Han Guogong!! A shout came from behind Zhong Lihao, and when he heard the words, he saw that under the leadership of Liu Yonghao, the Zhongshu Commander, a group of powerful ministers of the court seemed to be being chased by evil ghosts, stumbling towards Lin Feng outside the city.
Seeing this, Lin Feng had a headache, but before he could think of how to deal with this group of people, Zhongshu Ling Liu Yonghao arrived first, arched his hands, and said in a deep voice with a grateful look: "Han Guogong, you are here!" Can be put. ”
"Lord Liu doesn't have to worry!" Without waiting for Liu Yonghao to finish speaking, Lin Feng hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, and then explained with a smile: "The rebellion in the city is still there, and there will be something to talk about later!" ”
Without waiting for Liu Yonghao to open his mouth to express his opinion, he smiled at Zhong Lihao on the side and said, "General Zhongli, the defense of this West Gate and the safety of Lord Liu and others will be handed over to you for the time being, and Ben Hou will enter the city first!" ”
"Han Guogong rest assured! The last general commands! Zhong Lihao solemnly clenched his fists and nodded in response.
Originally, Zhong Lihao didn't have to follow Lin Feng's instructions at all, even though Lin Feng was already the Duke of Han and the crown prince at this time, but Zhong Lihao, as the general of the Shence Left Army, was directly ordered by the Son of Heaven. But in Zhong Lihao's opinion at this time, this battle not only allowed the Shence Army to show its majesty again, but also made a lot of contributions, all thanks to Lin Feng, the Marquis of Zhongwu, and naturally obeyed Lin Feng's orders.
Soon, Lin Feng led Mao Hao and others to quickly enter the city through the city cave, and as soon as he entered the city, he met Niu Fei coming down from the city, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Xiao Fei!" Over here! ”
"Brother Feng!" Seeing Lin Feng, Niu Fei was naturally very happy, ran quickly in front of Lin Feng, and laughed heartily: "Haha!" Brother Feng, how did I do just now? ”
"Excellent! When I go back, I will personally ask the emperor for credit for you! Lin Feng also smiled with satisfaction, nodded appreciatively, then pointed ahead, leaned down on horseback, lowered his voice and smiled: "Xiao Fei!" There is also a great credit, Brother Feng specially kept it for you! ”
"Huh? What credit? Niu Fei looked at Lin Feng's mysterious face, and also leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
"Old thief Chen's Jiedu Mansion!" Lin Feng smiled sinister and added, "You know! ”
"Oh!" Niu Fei suddenly realized, glanced at Lin Feng with the same understanding, nodded and laughed "hehe".
