Chapter 559: The Battle of Destroying Cao (21)
"Open the gates."
In fact, Zuo Zhangba didn't need to open the city gate, as long as he promised the civil officials outside the city to send troops. After all, the other party did not have a document to enter the customs, nor did he have a big seal from the Military Administration Department. Further, I don't need to pay attention to it.
But he wanted to make meritorious contributions so much, how could he care about this.
When he saw that it was a frustrated handwriting, he was convinced.
Titicaca...
The gates of the city were opened by the soldiers.
The civil officials outside the city slowly walked in with more than 200 people behind them.
As soon as they entered the city gates, they revealed their true nature. Kill the guards at the gate first, and then keep watch in place. And until now, Zuo Zhanghachi didn't know what was going on.
He stood on the tower and waited for the civil servants to come in.
But I waited for a long time and didn't see it.
So he went down the stone steps of the castle tower and prepared to take a look.
It didn't matter if it looked at it, it startled the left bearded Zhanghachi.
The gates had been taken over by the enemy, and all the guards had been killed.
"You guys..." Zuo Zhangba was furious: "You are enemies? ”
"General Zuo is right, we are Mr. Wenhe's subordinates, you have already been tricked, and you still don't surrender?" The civil servant also took out his sword and held it in his hand.
Obviously, he is not a civilian official at all, just a little white face in the army.
"You want me to surrender? Hmph, I don't look at what kind of place this is. He beckoned to the castle tower and shouted, "Brothers, get these bugs out for me!" ”
"General, general..." At this moment, the soldiers guarding the tower shouted: "A large number of enemy troops have appeared outside the city, and they are coming here. ”
"What?!"
Left bearded Zhangba hurried up to the city to see.
Sure enough, I saw tens of thousands of troops, and I saw them towards the city tower.
More than 1,000 people led by him are all lightly armed, and the speed is very good, and it is less than a kilometer away from the city tower.
Zuo Zhangba was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, follow me to drive out all the enemies below and close the city gates." ”
"Go into the city and draw up your troops, gather all the troops, and defend the city with me..."
"No."
He gave several orders in succession.
Personally lead the soldiers down to meet the enemy soldiers at the city gates.
"Kill..." The soldiers rushed over and fought desperately.
If you give them half an hour, you will be able to complete this task.
It's a pity that they are facing the old fox Jia Xu, Jia Xu has already calculated the time, no matter how hard Zuo Zhangba tries, it is impossible to solve the enemy in just two minutes.
After a bit of hard work...
Seeing that he was about to win, the 1,000 men who were lightly armed arrived and attacked again.
"Not good!"
Zuo Zhangba was very anxious and shouted, "Kill them!" Kill it! ”
Puff puff...
Thousands of soldiers gathered at the city gates, fighting back and forth, and the battle was fierce.
When Jia Xu arrived, the battle was in a white-hot phase.
Although Jia Xu had many soldiers and attacked and killed fiercely, the defenders of Huguan did not give an inch, defending the city with their bodies and blood. In a short period of time, it was difficult for Cao Jun to break through.
"Sir, if you wait any longer, the enemy's army in the city is about to arrive, shouldn't we also take action?" The general standing beside Jia Xu said.
"Indeed, waiting here is not the way to go." Jia Xu said: "Hurry up and prepare the cloud ladder and storm the Huguan." In addition, some elites will be sent to the city gate and attacked as soon as possible. ”
"No."
Jia Xu counted everything, but he didn't calculate that the Huguan defenders were so fierce that they could still fight with high morale after the city gate was breached. You must know that in offensive and defensive battles, as long as one side of the city gate is breached, it basically loses its combat effectiveness, where can it resist like this.
Ten minutes later.
Reinforcements from the left bearded shohachi arrived.
There were more than 4,000 of them who came to participate in the battle.
Half of them blocked the gates, and the remaining half went up to the city to defend it.
"Kill..." Jia Xu also temporarily built a cloud ladder and began a full-scale attack.
Originally, Jia Xu was completely sure and took off the pot.
Who expected that the defenders of Huguan were brave and disrupted his plan.
And it is really difficult to storm Huguan without large-scale siege equipment.
After the siege began, Jia Xu realized that with those ladders, it was difficult to attack the tower. It is estimated that it will not succeed for several hours.
The key to breaking the city is still at the city gate.
He walked forward for a while, and saw that the left bearded shohachi had already been stabbed twice, but he was still fighting. The defenders who were blocked there were also like enchanted forces, desperate to the death to block the enemy.
If this continues, it will not be good for him.
Jia Xu called one of the generals under his command: "You go and prepare five hundred crossbowmen and use all the fire oil we brought." After the soldiers who attacked the city gate were killed, they immediately fired arrows and shot the enemy soldiers in the city, and by the way, the corpses of the city gate were set on fire. In addition, go and prepare another thousand elites, jump into the moat first, get wet on your body, and then rush into the city. ”
"Yes."
The general went and prepared.
It didn't take long.
Everything is ready.
Whoosh...
A burst of rockets shot at the city gate, instantly igniting the corpses on the ground, igniting a raging flame. The left-haired Zhangba, who was blocked there, led his army to retreat into the city.
After the arrows are fired.
A thousand Cao army elites, once again attacked.
This time, I broke through smoothly.
"Good!"
Jia Xu said: "Tell the troops who entered the city to go to half of the men and horses and solve all the enemy troops on the city tower." ”
More and more Cao troops entered the city, and half of the troops were divided to fight in the city.
In this way, the defenders of the city were attacked on both sides, and it was difficult to hold on.
Soon the castle tower was also breached.
A large number of Cao troops climbed the tower and rushed towards the city.
In this case, the left bearded shohachi can no longer hold on.
He thought about withdrawing to the Shangdang and transferring troops to fight again.
But he was already seriously injured, there were two bloody cuts on his chest, the blood couldn't stop flowing, and he already felt dizzy in his head, and he was about to die. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, fight the enemy!" ”
All the defenders of the city made the final struggle together with the left bearded shohachi.
The so-called trapped beast is still fighting, which refers to this time.
Jia Xu entered the city with a large army and was really shocked to see the defenders so tenacious: "It's the first time I've seen it, the city gate and the city tower have been overcome, and the defenders can still fight." ”
"Sir, look...." At this moment, Vice Admiral Jia Xu pointed to the sky.
I saw a fiery red dot, growing bigger and bigger, approaching here.
Jia Xu glared at it and exclaimed, "It's not good, it's Yuan Xi who is here." Quickly, quickly deal with the remnants of the enemy and close the city gates. ”
Whew...
Yuan Xi rode four to arrive.
It's a pity that he didn't bring an army, not even a giant beast, so he could only watch as Zuo Zhangba was wiped out and watched Huguan fall into Jia Xu's hands.
"Hateful!" Hovering in the sky for a while, Yuan Xi finally flew to Shangdang.
Shangdang has 5,000 defenders, although it is not elite, but it is the hope of retaking Huguan.
Shangdang County Guard Zhou Xiang and County Lieutenant Hu Zhenqiang hurriedly left the camp when they saw Yuan Xi's four inconsistencies.
