Chapter 39: Fierce Battle (Asking for Reward Support)
However, their task was to open the city gates, and after receiving Han Shin's order, the first and second teams of soldiers rushed towards the staircase next to the castle tower.
Rushing to the front was Wang Dahu, one after another the enemy army was cut down by him, under the strong impact, where could the Yongwang soldiers stop, the Han army soon rushed to the mouth of the stairs, and quickly ran down the stairs.
In the Dasanguan City, Yao Tong was sleeping, because he had drunk a lot of alcohol last night, and he was not woken up when the shouts of killing came from the city wall.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."A hurried knock sounded on the door, "General Yao, there is a sneak attack by the Han army!" General Yao..."
Yao Tong first woke up in a daze, and wanted to blame the soldiers who woke him up, when he heard the words "Han army sneak attack", he was almost frightened, hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, and came out with weapons.
Yao Tong hurriedly came out of his residence and saw a fierce battle on the east wall of the city tower, and the Han army was very brave, and his subordinates couldn't resist it at all.
At this time, Yongwangbing, who was originally sleeping in the dormitory, also ran out in a hurry and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Just as Yao Tong was about to give an order and lead his soldiers to deal with the Han army, a loud shout of the Han army came from outside the city wall, and he faintly saw the fire rushing to the sky over there.
"The Han army is coming!"
It was the voice of a Lord of the Five Hundred, and so did many of the soldiers.
Originally, everyone thought that they could sit back and relax and be able to lead the army here for a long time, but they didn't expect the Han army to suddenly appear out of thin air, and everyone witnessed the bravery of the Han army on the city wall.
Yao Tong also had fear in his heart, but if he lost the Great Dispersion Pass, Zhang Han would definitely not let him go.
"Everyone copy the guys, all of them go together, kill the Han army, and execute those who escape from the battle by military law!"
First of all, hundreds of soldiers were organized by him and rushed in the direction of the city gate.
At this time, dozens of Han troops led by Wang Dahu had just rushed down the steps, and they were about to rush to the city gate to open it, but more than 300 Yongwang troops stopped them.
"Let's go together, kill them......" Yao Tong yelled.
Under his strict order, the soldiers of King Yong rushed forward and fought fiercely with the Han army.
The fifth and sixth teams of the Han army came up to the city wall one after another, and rushed here to join the battle.
And other soldiers of the Yongwang army also kept coming.
Although the Yongwang army was more numerous, the Han army was stronger and more morale, and the Yongwang army was not only helpless, but also lost to the Han army in terms of momentum, and was several times higher than the Han army in terms of casualties.
This can only be regarded as Yao Tong's dying struggle, which can only temporarily drag the Han army that rushed down and prevent it from opening the city gate.
Originally, the morale of the defenders was low, and many people were unwilling to fight for Zhang Han, a Qin traitor, and encountering such a strong Han army made the defenders even more afraid, and some soldiers had the heart to flee.
At this time, a captain and four of his subordinates turned around to escape, but before they ran a few steps, Yao Tong and his soldiers came head-on.
"Kill..."Yao Tong shouted, swung his sword and slashed the Wu Chang to death, and the other four deserters were killed by his own soldiers.
"Whoever dares to run away will be summarily executed..."
Yao Tong shouted angrily, this decisive approach temporarily stopped his subordinates from escaping.
——————
The Han officers and soldiers outside heard the shouting and killing in the Dasan Pass, and they all geared up, hoping that the city gate would be opened as soon as possible and rush in for a big battle.
The two thousand halberd soldiers led by Fan Xu have come to the city wall, and Fan Xu himself is standing in front of the city gate, he is holding a long ge, as long as the city gate is opened, he will immediately rush in.
Watching the Tiance army climb the city wall in groups, Deng Yulong was finally relieved, as long as the soldiers who went up first stabilized the situation, the soldiers on the other side would continue to climb the city wall, and as the number of people increased, victory would belong to him after all.
It's just that if the city gate can be opened as soon as possible and allow the troops to rush into the city, in the case of a large number of troops concentrated in the battle, the Han army will have a greater advantage, will end the battle faster, and the casualties will be smaller.
——————
Han Xin, who was on the city wall, always calmly commanded the battle, and when he saw the enemy's large army coming, he asked the troops who climbed up behind him to support immediately.
At this time, the eighth team had already come up to the city wall.
"You come with me!"
Han Xin rushed down the stairs with these dozens of people.
In the open space behind the city gate, the soldiers of the third to seventh teams of the Tiance Army fought with all their strength against the Yongwang Army, and the battle was very fierce.
"Quick... Stop them! ”
When Yao Tong saw a group of Han troops coming down, he immediately drew out 200 people and rushed over to intercept them, trying to prevent the Han army from opening the city gate.
From the very beginning of the battle, Han Xin has been paying attention to the situation on the scene, judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Yongwang army, that is, it is close to the passing level, and even the ordinary soldiers of the Han army are not as good.
The battle came to this point, and Han Xin understood that it would definitely be no problem for the Han army to capture Dasanguan, and it would definitely be no problem for the Tiance army to block the Yongwang soldiers, but if the sword soldiers who were the reserve team climbed up and then opened the city gate with the help of their strength, the merits of the Tiance army would definitely be greatly reduced.
Han Xin will never let this happen, he said to the two next to him: "You two teams will stop the enemy army for me, if you let one person come, I will cut you!" ”
His orders are so strict that you will have to rush forward even if you are killed with the enemy.
"No!"
The two chiefs with dozens of subordinates rushed towards the two hundred Yongwang troops who rushed forward, and fought desperately.
"The rest of me come with me!"
Han Xin took the remaining soldiers and hurried towards the city gate.
Yao Tong, the general of the Dasan Pass, has been strictly ordering the soldiers behind to catch up as soon as possible, and the Han army has been rushing down the stairs, and the rest of his subordinates have also been arriving, and the subordinates, under his orders, have dragged the Han troops who have arrived one after another, and do not let them open the city gates.
Through a short battle, Yao Tong found that even if the number of his subordinates was three or four times that of the Han army, since the battle between the two sides, the already side team was still lagging behind. The soldiers of the Han army were not only brave and brave, but also coordinated with each other in an orderly manner, and often six or seven people had fallen on the side, and the Han army would lose one.
There were such elite soldiers, which made Yao Tong more and more frightened.
Now, the two hundred soldiers who were drawn out were blocked by dozens of Han soldiers, and there was a general-like person with a dozen soldiers who interspersed through the gaps.
For all this, Yao Tong saw it in his eyes.
"Quick, stop them..."
Yao Tong was yelling, his voice was about to be hoarse.
Under his order, King Yong's soldiers divided dozens of people and quickly rushed towards Han Xin.
Fortunately, a commander and a few soldiers of the Tiance Army rushed over in time and blocked the Yongwang Army with the determination to die.
Under the cover of his subordinates, Han Xin finally entered the city gate, and the thick city gate was in front of him. The gate was made of thick wood and covered with a layer of iron, which looked so strong that it would take a lot of time to knock it open with siege cones and chariots.
"Quick, open the gates!"
———————
Outside the city walls, thousands of Han troops were waiting anxiously.
The more than 500 people of the Tiance army had all climbed the city wall, and a group of swords and soldiers grabbed the rope and climbed up.
These soldiers are not as professional in climbing as the Tiance Army, and their speed is much slower.
Just as the first batch of sword soldiers had just reached the city wall, there was finally movement at the gate of Dasanguan, and someone inside was pulling the gate open.
"Haha, my Lao Fan is here!"
Fan Xu, who was standing in front of the city gate, couldn't bear it anymore, and when the city gate was only a small part open, Fan Xu pushed it violently towards the city gate.
