Chapter 740: Breakthrough at the East Gate

Qishan City was breached, and the Dahua army rushed in, like a rolling river, charging into battle, and in an instant, thousands of elite soldiers had been killed.

Inside the city gate and on the city, there are sounds of fighting everywhere, soldiers on both sides are fighting fiercely and fighting, either you die or I live, blood splashes.

As the Dahua army continued to emerge, the Tang army continued to retreat, and the city gate and the city head had been forced to give up.

"Kill, kill, kill—"

The face of each Dahua soldier was filled with an expression of imminent victory, and if he wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he could get knighthoods and promotions, and seek more land and benefits for his family.

Tang Jun's face was full of worry, panic, and despair, resisting and retreating.

"Hold on, don't let the enemy army cross the city!" The partial general Pan Ren was yelling and organizing the Tang army to resist.

But there are also many young tiger generals in the Dahua Army, Zhou Shaoji and Zhou Shaofan brothers, leading the troops to charge, Xue Wanbei and Mai Zhongcai led the troops to outflank, through the barracks and alleys, specifically killing those fleeing Tang soldiers, and then arson everywhere, making the Tang army's military spirit almost collapsed.

The night of Qishan City was illuminated by the firelight, and many areas were like daylight, full of fiery war horses, and some soldiers were affected, and they were ignited into a ball of fire, screaming miserably.

The Dahua army continued to advance, to completely destroy the Tang army in the city, killing the sky in the dark, and the blood penetrated the armor.

"Those who surrender will not be killed-"

After all, there are 40,000 Tang troops in the city, and if you want to slaughter them all, you also need to pay a lot of price, and you need more troops, so it is better to persuade them to surrender, so that they can be reorganized and used in later battles.

In this desperate situation, many Tang soldiers abandoned their weapons one after another, and surrendered with their heads on their hands, and their lives were critical.

.........

At the East City Gate, Li Xuanba and others broke through with elite soldiers and soon rushed to the east gate of the urn city, where they had a fierce battle with the Dahua defenders.

This is the battle of trapped beasts, and the elite of the Tang army are all out of the way, because as long as they can rush out, they have a glimmer of life, so they are extremely brave, and thousands of guards did not resist, and they were rushed away by the Tang army.

In ancient times, the city gate focused on defending against external enemies, and the internal defense was relatively weak, so you didn't have to use a ladder or rush to the city gate, as long as you killed the defenders and opened the city gate, you could rush out.

Li Xuanba unfolded his sword technique, killed one person in one step, saw the blood sealing his throat, and his figure was fluttering, showing his superb skills.

Li Daoxuan, Li Xiuning, Shi Wanbao, Duan Zhixuan and others led the troops to rush out.

Of the 4,000 men and horses, 1,000 were killed, and more than 3,000 people managed to break through, quickly crossed the river, and fled to the foot of the mountain in disarray.

"As long as you cross this mountain range, tomorrow at noon, you will be able to reach Jingzhao County." Shi Wanbao said to Princess Pingyang.

"Hurry with all your might, don't stop, get out of this area as soon as possible."

"Whoa!"

The three thousand sergeants ran and fled with all their might, but there was no sound, only the startled forest birds soared up, cutting through the night sky.

When they ran half of the incense, they came to a gourd-shaped mountain, and suddenly, Li Xuanba stopped and shouted: "Wait! ”

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Li Xiuning was puzzled.

"Since entering this mountain, I haven't alarmed any birds and beasts, it's too calm, which is unreasonable." Li Xuanba said.

"Huh? Really! "The others also reacted, some time ago, there were constantly forest birds and beasts were alarmed, but after entering the deep mountains, there was no reaction.

Li Xuanba frowned and said: "There is only one possibility, someone here has already come to set up an ambush, alarming the birds and beasts." ”

"There are ambushes here!" The generals exclaimed, startled.

"There is such a possibility, you can't go forward, go up the mountain road, through the dense forest!" As soon as Li Xuanba's words fell, suddenly, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from the surrounding jungle, and countless arrows rained out, and sure enough, there were ambushes.

In an instant, the war drums roared all over the mountain, like thunder in the clear sky, and the shouts of killing came out like a tide from the mountains on both sides and in the dense forest.

Before Li Daoxuan and the others could give an order, the arrow clusters poured down like a torrential rain, and the surrounding area was covered with arrows.

Sneering –

The arrows pierced down, and the Tang soldiers fell to the ground screaming one after another, and they were attacked.

Li Xuanba grabbed Li Xiuning with one hand, covered her behind him, and with a sword pull, the sword flower became a ball, peeling off dozens of arrows, and sweeping away all the arrow clusters hanging above his head and in front of him.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, only a small half of the three thousand Tang troops remained, huddled together, gathered like turtle shells with a few shields.

"Kill!"

The ambush soldiers lit torches, slaughtered them from the mountains and dense forests, and poured down like a torrent, and came to fight in close quarters to clear the remnants.

In the shield, Li Xuanba and the other generals had already put on the clothes and armor of ordinary soldiers, and mixed in the crowd to break through, so as not to be conspicuous.

A few soldiers who died instead wore the armor of the generals of the Tang Army to attract attention.

When the Dahua army rushed down, the shield array of the Tang army opened, and the two sides fell into fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Li Xuanba pulled Li Xiuning to break through and vowed to protect this sister.

On the hill, the torches were bright, and Luo Zhaoyun, Guo Xiaoke, Chu Suiliang and others stood and watched the battle.

After arranging the strategy tonight, Luo Zhaoyun expected that the Tang army generals would choose the east gate to break through, so they set up ambushes here and waited for the Tang army to enter the urn.

Those who defend the city will definitely break the latter, and there will be big fish and prawns in the breakthrough, Luo Zhaoyun showed a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his big hand, and ordered the flag to dance, and the second wave of ambushes poured out again, gathered around, and continued to besiege and kill this group of Tang army soldiers.

Guo Xiaoke exclaimed: "Your Majesty is like a god in using soldiers, and there are indeed some Tang Army generals here." ”

"Pass it down, the enemy will be captured alive if he can be captured, and if he can't be captured alive, he will be killed on the spot!" Luo Zhaoyun is a little sorry, but he will not be soft.

"Yes!" Guo Xiaoke sent scouts to deliver the order.

The ambush soldiers attacked wave after wave, and more than a thousand Tang troops were divided into countless small sections, which were gradually wiped out and fell in a pool of blood.

"Ahh

Li Xuanba fought back with his sword, drove Dahua's soldiers, and went to the rescue.

"Third brother, I can't leave, you quickly break out, pass the news to your father, and let the court prepare early, Dahua is too difficult to deal with."

"I'm going to take you away!" Li Xuanba shouted excitedly.

"No, this will affect you, go quickly, third brother, if you don't leave, I'll kill myself now!" Li Xiuning drank.

"Alas!" Li Xuanba couldn't imagine that his sister was so strong, so he sighed helplessly, angry and angry, hating himself for not being able to save him, but he was not a mother-in-law, so he turned around and left, mixed among the soldiers, and continued to break through.

Li Xiuning had tears in the corners of his eyes, watching the figure of the third brother getting farther and farther away, showing a relieved smile, as long as he could escape, it would be nothing if he died.

At this time, the nearby soldiers only thought she was an ordinary soldier, so they cut it down with a knife.

Li Xiuning closed his eyes and sat still, waiting to be hacked to death with a knife.

"Princess, be careful!" Pingyang's henchmen and slaves, Ma Sanbao, the chief of the personal guard, rushed over from behind, saw this situation, shouted, killed him, and beheaded a few people, but he couldn't stand the large number of Dahua soldiers, so he could only pounce on Li Xiuning's body.

Puff puff!

Ma Sanbao was slashed with a knife and vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, but he held his body to protect Pingyang, who was overwhelmed by her, and blocked this disaster with his flesh and blood, and saved the life of the Savior.

"Three Treasures!" Li Xiuning cried, but she didn't make a sound, she knew very well that once she yelled, she would be discovered by the enemy, so Ma Sanbao's death would have no meaning.
