Chapter 137: Take Guilin County 2

And after this battle, if Guilin City is not captured, then the Xiou coalition army will definitely strengthen its defense, and if it wants to capture Guilin in the future, the price that the Southern Expeditionary Army may pay will be even greater.

"Boss, why don't you let the soldiers in front withdraw first and replace the rest of the soldiers to attack the city? That's a lot of loss. Li Tangshan proposed.

Hearing this, Zhao Tuo also came back to his senses, shook his head, and said: "It's not necessary, although the front army has a lot of casualties, but it is the time when morale is high, it is not suitable to withdraw, and no matter that city gate is taken, Guilin City will be broken, and Jijun can only withdraw from Guilin City There is one way to go, otherwise he will have to stay in Guilin City forever!" ”

"But...!" Li Tangshan saw that there were too many casualties among the soldiers in front of him, and he was a little worried.

"Brother-in-law, now you can only attack, it just depends on who falls first, as for some casualties, it is inevitable, the defenders of Guilin City are about to be unable to support it, and we have left a way to live for them, then there will be no backwater to fight, this battle will have a great chance to take Guilin City, if possible, then some things can still be accepted!" Zhao Tuo said to Li Tangshan.

Li Tangshan knew that it was difficult to change what Zhao Tuo decided, and Li Tangshan didn't say more, and he also understood that there was no time to fight a protracted war, and a quick victory was the most suitable for the current situation, but seeing the tragic battle situation, he was still a little unbearable, and the tactics of this war were far from reaching his idea of outwitting.

Now the battle situation by the city wall has also entered the white heat, and there are often Qin soldiers who attack the city wall, but they are beaten back under the struggle of the defenders led by Ji Jun.

Burst~~

With a single sword, the sword slashed the throat of a Qin soldier who had just climbed the city wall, and blood sprayed and hit his face, and the dead soldier also fell from the city wall.

However, he was already worried, but now he was even more worried, because he saw that the partial general he had sent to guard the North City Gate before was running quickly with a panicked face, and there was an uneasy feeling in his heart.

"Leader, the enemy army has attacked the northern city wall, and it can't be stopped!" The general said in a panic.

Really! Ji Jun secretly said, the north city wall was breached, then this battle has already decided the result, looking at the distance outside the city, where Zhao Tuo is, there are still defenders who have consumed most of their physical strength, and less than half of them are left.

He didn't expect that Zhao Tuo and Li Tangshan would be so desperate, they just used human lives to fill it, and they had to capture the Guilin City he was stationed in a battle.

"Leader, let's withdraw, Guilin City can't hold it anymore without reinforcements, and if you don't leave, when the north gate is opened, it's too late!" The general persuaded.

"Damn!" Ji Jun slashed on the city wall with a sword, if he could have known that Zhao Tuo was coming to attack and make arrangements as soon as possible, he would not have the current situation, looked outside the city, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Gather the soldiers and horses, send someone to the south city gate to report, let him lead the soldiers and horses to retreat, withdraw from the east city gate, and meet at the east city gate!" ”

"No!"

The general is also happy in his eyes, he is not a loyal person, and he doesn't want to die here.

With the order to retreat, the defenders also directly gave up their resistance and followed the jun to the city, and the main generals were ready to leave, how could they stay and wait for death.

The retreat of the defenders, the Qin soldiers who ascended the city, there was no longer any effective obstruction, they climbed the city wall one after another, and swarmed to the city, they also needed to open the city gate, welcome the army into the city, and completely take over the city.

"It's over!" Zhao Tuo, who was outside the city, saw the situation on the city wall and sighed.

The jun retreated, then the people who attacked the other two city gates must have already attacked the city wall, otherwise the jun would definitely continue to block, after all, they didn't take advantage of anything.

Ji Jun led the remaining defenders to withdraw from Guilin City to the east gate.

Neither Wu Rui nor Shi Lu, who was attacking the city, pursued them, but just led their troops to chase them to the east city gate, took the east city gate, and ignored the horses who had escaped from the city.

Let the remnants of the defeated army led by Jijun flee from Guilin City.

After the city gate was opened, Zhao Tuo and Li Tangshan also led a large army into the city, and after confirming that Ji Jun had led the remnants of the defeated army to escape from Guilin City, they asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and take over the defense of the four city gates.

But he didn't open the city gate, after all, he didn't know the current situation in the city, and he still needed to deal with it again, and no one knew if the jun would leave a backhand, and when the time came, when the southern conscription horses arrived, if there was a situation in the city, it would be a troublesome thing.

But he said.

Ji Jun led the remaining defenders of less than 1,000 people to escape from Guilin City from the East City Gate, but found that the Qin army only pursued to the East City Gate, and had no intention of continuing the pursuit.

He stopped a mile away from the east city gate, looked at Guilin City from afar, thinking that he was still the main general in the city before, and Zhao Tuo was outside the city, but now Zhao Tuo led the army into the city, but he escaped from the city in embarrassment.

"Chief!" The partial general who persuaded the horse to leave said.

Ji Jun also retracted his gaze at Guilin City, with the current strength, it is impossible to recapture Guilin City, people have not pursued, it is already considered to have left them a way to live, if they are pursued, whether they can escape is a problem, and as long as they make an ambush outside the East City Gate, they may not be able to leave the land of Guilin.

Turning the horse's head, he sighed: "Let's go, go back to Buding City, the general trend has gone, the military strength of the Qin army is so strong, we can't resist!" ”

"No!" Several generals who escaped with the horse arched their hands.

Drive~~

Ji Jun turned his head and took a deep look at Guilin City, then galloped his horse and headed towards Buding City.

The generals, as well as the defenders who escaped, did not stop, followed behind the Jijun, and rushed southward, all the way to the dust, and slowly disappeared from the field of vision of Guilin City.

In the city of Guilin, because of the war, the people did not dare to go out.

The original Jijun's mansion was temporarily requisitioned by Zhao Tuo, after all, now that Guilin City is also under his rule, it is a matter of course to requisition Jijun's mansion.

Just captured the city of Guilin, there are also many things that need to be done, Li Tangshan is responsible for pacifying the people, cleaning up the battlefield, taking over the defense, clearing the remnants, and so on.

After everything settled down, it was dusk.

In the winter dusk, the sun sets, and the wisps of afterglow on the horizon are no longer so dazzling, and they are soft and beautiful. The red sun is like a little girl's flushed face. The sky is full of colorful clouds, fiery red, golden, silver gray, like the silk of a fairy. Wisps of afterglow sprinkled on the sparkling river, flashing and flashing, like sprinkling a layer of broken gold. On the golden water, a large white bird soared into the air, leaving only circles of ripples on the water. The fiery red sunset is reflected on the water, and the water surface ripples layer by layer, and the sunset on the water is broken like glass, but the sunset trembles a few times, and then returns to its original appearance. The rays of sunset light shine on the flower ribbon on the shore, leaving them on the petals, making the flowers more delicate.
