Chapter 846: Harvest
"Capture Cao Xiaoda alive!" More arrows came with a roar.
Although I don't know why the enemy suddenly appeared here, you must know that this is already the core area of Xiangyang City Defense, and there are layers of soldiers patrolling and guarding the periphery, but it is naturally too late to consider this problem now, and it should be considered more about how to solve the enemy. Cao Xiaoda immediately pushed away the guards who were pressing on his body and pulled out his saber:
"Quick, get ready for battle!"
Arrows whistled over his head, and several Northern Zhou generals fell from the arrows, apparently the enemy's attack was very accurate.
This is the government of Xiangyang City, and it is also a point general, and at this time in the open space in front of the door has gathered four or five hundred soldiers and more generals who came to listen to the dispatch, and the sudden attack undoubtedly disrupted all this, almost all the generals are subconsciously shouting the soldiers under their command, but this also exposes them to the Bashu crossbowmen.
Arrows unceremoniously burrowed into their chests, which made the scene that was barely under control finally uncontrollable into chaos. Cao Xiaoda's futile shouts were soon drowned out by the sounds of killing and the panicked voices of the Northern Zhou soldiers.
After the arrows, the Bashu army quickly came over and rushed forward along the streets. Although their number was small, the momentum of the charge was not weak at all, and they soon cut through the almost non-existent outer defense line of the Northern Zhou army, and directly rushed towards Cao Xiaoda, who was standing on the temporary point of the general's platform.
At the same time, several other Bashu crossbowmen also pulled the trigger, and the arrows rampage on the not-so-large point platform, and before Cao Xiaoda could lie down, an arrow pierced his shoulder.
Cao Xiaoda snorted and knelt on the ground, and at the same time, the Bashu soldiers who rushed in in five ways were getting closer and closer to Dianjiangtai!
"General, let's go first!" One of the guards hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Cao Xiaoda, while the rest of the guards did not dare to get up rashly, and the crossbowmen looked around in a panic.
The torches illuminated the entire front of the palace very brightly, but the enemy's crossbowmen were hidden in the darkness and could not be found at all, so this was almost a fight to the death for the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Arrows whistled again, and the Northern Zhou crossbowmen fell screaming, but their companions also spotted the direction in which the arrows were flying, and fired a somewhat messy arrow at the top of the nearby house. The arrows slammed into the eaves, making a crisp sound, and I don't know if they killed or injured these damn islanders.
At this point, on the stage, the two guards barely supported Cao Xiaoda and staggered down. The originally assembled Northern Zhou army has been completely chaotic, and there are soldiers running in a panic everywhere, especially their main general who was caught fire by the Bashu crossbowmen on the point general platform just now, and most of them have been killed, plus at this time, even Cao Xiaoda's figure can not be found, so these soldiers have no leader for a while, and they can only run in all directions.
"Retreat to the palace!" Cao Xiaoda shouted hoarsely.
The guards guarded Cao Xiaoda and retreated, and the soldiers who were originally carrying official documents from the government to the inner city had already picked up their swords at this time, and when they saw Cao Xiaoda coming, they hurriedly guarded him.
"Tell everyone, retreat to the palace!" Cao Xiaoda grabbed the collar of the guards beside him.
The captain of the guard could only smile bitterly at this time: "General, everything is already messed up, and our brothers are all injured, so how can we collect the defeated soldiers?" β
Cao Xiaoda was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around, several guards had blood on their bodies, and they didn't know whose it was, but looking at their embarrassed expressions, they knew that they had already fought with the charging Bashu army in the crowd just now.
This is still the case with these elite guards, not to mention the rest.
All the Northern Zhou soldiers were fleeing in a hurry, and it was obvious that they had lost the courage to fight the enemy. And Cao Xiaoda said in a low voice: "I didn't expect itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Xiangyang City, which is impregnable, is so vulnerable in the end. β
"Cao Xiaoda is dead, hurry up and surrender!" At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded from a distance, and then I don't know how many people were chanting.
"Cao Xiaoda is dead!"
"Hurry up and surrender!"
Cao Xiaoda's face changed when he boarded, and the guards naturally didn't dare to let him take any more risks, so they took Cao Xiaoda and retreated directly into the mansion and closed the door.
A Northern Zhou soldier looked at the completely chaotic battlefield blankly at this time, they can be said to be the most incomprehensible, they don't know where the enemy comes from, they don't know how many enemies there are, and they don't know how they were defeated in such a daze?
However, hearing "Cao Xiaoda is dead", all the soldiers still subconsciously shuddered in their hearts, Cao Xiaoda is the backbone of the entire Xiangyang defenders, Cao Xiaoda died, and the last bit of hope of these soldiers disappeared.
What's more important is that they focused their eyes on the general platform where Cao Xiaoda once stood, but there was only a corpse left, and there was no one standing at all, maybe Cao Xiaoda's corpse was really there, otherwise how could he not stand up to preside over the overall situation until now?
A team of soldiers hurriedly put down the blades in their hands, and Cheng Feng walked through the crowd, just a cursory glance, he knew that Cao Xiaoda must not be among them, these soldiers with panicked looks on their faces are definitely not what Cao Xiaoda should be, and in such a short time, Cao Xiaoda should not have time to change his clothes.
Walking behind the platform, Cheng Feng already knew where his prey was when he saw the closed mansion, and a soldier named Bashu also gathered around Cheng Feng.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the gates, leave fifty people, and the rest come with me!" Cheng Feng waved his hand and ran straight in the direction of the city gate.
Cao Xiaoda is certainly a very important goal, but now he is just a turtle in an urn, Cheng Feng is not too interested in catching a turtle in an urn, as long as he is honestly trapped in the urn, what he needs to do is to open the city gate.
ββββββββββ-
"First on, first on!"
Countless soldiers were raising their arms and shouting, and on the long city wall, I don't know how many Bashu soldiers jumped up to the battlement, and their swords and guns fell on the enemy with a roar.
Unlike the few previous breakthroughs, this time there were too many breaches in the city wall. This is because the strength of the Northern Zhou army in the city is really stretched, and there are not enough people standing on the long city wall. Of course, the second reason is that Li Xinchen's attack came too suddenly, and standing on the top of the city and looking around, the fire is bright and dark, and it is impossible to see how many people are attacking, so he doesn't know how to arrange and deploy troops.
The place where Chen Zhishen led the team to break through was the place where the Northern Zhou army was weak, and soon spread the battle line, and a group of Bashu soldiers went to the city in an orderly manner, while the Northern Zhou soldiers could only continue to retreat under the enemy's step-by-step pressure.
