Chapter 140: The Battle of Urn City

Really!

At this moment, in Mei Cheng's eyes, the strangeness of Gao Shun's demeanor attracted his attention, and it was obvious that Gao Shun was hiding something.

It has been determined that Ma Chaojun's troops are stretched and unable to defend such a large water pass, and under the preconceived idea, Mei Cheng feels more and more that Gao Shun is bluffing.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, Mei Cheng grinned: "In the past 5 years, people have said how powerful your ability to lead the troops to fight is Gao Shun, and how strong the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army of the Prefecture is to defeat the Hu people. ”

"When I see it today, it's actually hard to live up to the fame!"

The ridicule from Mei Cheng, listening to Gao Shu's ears, couldn't help but tighten his face, his face was blue and white for a while, and Gao Shun's reluctant expression affirmed Mei Cheng's judgment even more.

Since this is the case, Mei Cheng immediately ordered: "Don't care about the other party's urn city, give me a blow and forcibly break the urn city!" ”

Once the army enters it, the front and rear gates are closed, and a large number of arrow holes on the walls around the urn city will be divided into layers, and the enemy troops who are locked up in the urn city will be quickly shot in the urn city.

When Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led the army into the Xuanwu Gate, the front and rear gates were closed, and the two of them were killed with the army inside, and none of them could escape.

More than an hour later, after losing more than 2,000 people, Mei Chengjun finally broke open the gate of the urn city, Mei Cheng only felt arrogant, he raised the spear in his hand, and said with great confidence: "Kill me in!" ”

He has the demeanor of a famous general.

"Kill——!"

Mei Chengjun still had 5,000 people left, rushing all the way in, Mei Cheng took the lead and shouted: "Keep rushing, don't stop!" ”

"Let me continue to break open the gate of the urn city in front, after the urn city, there is the inner city of Shuiguan, there is no defense, our army can drive straight in, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and catch the traitor Ma Chao!"

"Whoa!"

Mei Chengjun's morale rose all of a sudden, and in Ma Chao's eyes, it rose from 58 points all the way to 78, a big increase.

But Ma Chao's eyes were full of sneers, it was actually very simple to break through the urn city, and he would directly fill it with human lives, but the remaining 5,000 people left by Mei Cheng were not enough to break the urn city!

Mei Cheng was pulled by Xu Shu's scheme, and kept walking towards the road of no return, he was carried away by the victory, and he didn't care about it at all, just blindly rushed into it with his head bored.

Whoosh!

When most of Mei Cheng's army had already entered the urn city, a large number of arrows began to shoot from the rows of arrow holes on the surrounding city walls, and the arrows rained down one after another, alternately shooting towards the soldiers on the ground.

The four walls of the urn city were hollow, and there were several rows of dark rooms, and the archers stood in the dark rooms and shot out through the arrow holes in the walls.

"Ah——!h

A large number of arrow feathers slanted down, just the first round of shooting, but in this relatively narrow urn city, a large dense rain of arrows was formed, dripping, killing hundreds of people.

Mei Chengjun's soldiers had no way to hide, so they could only watch the arrows fly down and penetrate their bodies!

"Not good!"

After the corpses of hundreds of people fell one after another, the army of 5,000 people was suddenly emptied a lot, and Mei Cheng reacted at this time, Wengcheng was not something that he could forcibly break through at present!

"Fortunately, our army has smashed the outer gate of the urn city, and our army can escape quickly!"

As soon as he thought of this, Mei Cheng shouted loudly: "The enemy army has many arrows, our army must not brave the arrows and stones to forcibly attack the city, all of them retreat and retreat to the outer city!" ”

Mei Chengjun's originally high morale suffered a blow to the head, and the next time he fell down, up and down, like a roller coaster.

The most direct impact of the decline in morale was that the soldiers no longer formed a military formation, but panicked and fled to the gate that was knocked open.

Click!

The mechanism at the gate of the urn city was activated, and dozens of soldiers on the city wall fought hard to eat milk, quickly turning the hinges, and the hinges clicked with loud noises.

There was a sudden strange sound from the door that was knocked open, and Mei Cheng couldn't help but be surprised: "What sound?" ”

Click, click!

A mesh iron door made of pig iron suddenly appeared, from top to bottom, fell directly, hit the ground, and stopped Mei Chengjun at the door!

"No, not good!"

No matter how brainless Mei Cheng was, he reacted in an instant, the Luohe Water Pass is extremely important, so this pass is also extremely ingenious in the design of the mechanism, and the designer has taken into account the situation of being attacked by the outer city from the beginning.

Therefore, in addition to the two gates in front and back of the urn city, a hinged iron gate that requires a lot of manpower to turn was also installed!

This is a floodgate, which quickly blocked Mei Chengjun's way, causing them to be stopped inside!

"No, it's not like that!"

Mei Cheng's face became pale, there was no trace of blood, his eyes were rolling rapidly, trying to come up with a solution, but behind him, a large number of arrows were shot out of the arrow hole in the urn city again, and Mei Cheng's sergeant was shot hundreds of people again!

"Smash this iron door for me!"

Because the cast iron technology in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not developed enough, the iron gates that blocked the way were all netted, and the least amount of pig iron was used to achieve the maximum effect.

Therefore, Mei Chengjun still has a chance to smash open the iron gate and escape, provided that they still have enough time!

The soldiers swarmed up, brandished their broadswords in their hands, and slashed at the iron door, bursting out with brilliant sparks.

"Break it for Lao Tzu!"

The soldiers shouted frantically, slashing at the iron gate one by one.

On one side was the rain of arrows that kept shooting, and on the other side was the iron gate that had been cut down, and the lethal qi machine hung over everyone's heads, and their hearts were full of terror.

With a bang, a small gap that could only pass through one person was smashed out.

"Good!"

The soldiers were overjoyed, squeezed over directly, pushed each other away, and wanted to be the first to squeeze out, squeezing their heads to break the blood flow, and fighting.

"Let me out first!"

"I cut the gap, let me go first!"

"Get out of here! Lao Tzu wants to be the first to go out! ”

The soldiers gave up and continued to use their broadswords to cut the iron gate, but instead gathered together, all trying to squeeze out of the gap, Mei Cheng shouted loudly behind him: "What are you doing!" ”

"Don't keep smashing the iron door!"

But at this time, no one listened to Mei Cheng's words anymore, Ma Chao stood on the wall of the urn city, and saw very clearly, by this time, Mei Chengjun had almost been killed and wounded, and there were still 3,000 dead in the army of 10,000 people, plus Mei Chengjun's morale had fallen to only 25 points, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Ma Chaojun.

Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Open the gate of the urn city and kill it for me!" ”

Rumble!

The gate of the urn city behind Mei Chengjun was opened, and Evil Lai and Zhao Yun took the lead, followed by Gao Shun, Pang De, and Gongsun Zhan, leading thousands of white horse righteous soldiers, and killed them from behind.

"It's not good, go back to defense!"

Among the only 3,000 people left in Mei Cheng's army, only a few hundred people turned around and wanted to stop the attack of Ma Chao's army, but in front of the cavalry, the infantry who had been frightened was unable to fight anymore.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Mei Cheng's army was annihilated, Mei Cheng was captured, and the soldiers tied him up with thick ropes, tied him up with five flowers, and threw him in front of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, who was sitting in the hall, smiled slightly and said, "General Mei, I've admired my name for a long time. ”
