Chapter 171: The First Pass of the Great Wall 8
The 5,000 men and horses led by Wanyan Purihei fought fiercely under the city. It's just that this time, although the fight is fierce, Purihei seems to feel very relaxed.
While directing his soldiers to enter the palace continuously, Purihi pondered in his heart.
The Wansheng army on the head of the city kept shooting down with crossbow arrows, and kept smashing stones and wood. The hot water is not poured down, and it is cold at this time, and there is firewood to boil the water, so it is better to light it directly and smash it down.
But soon Purihei thought about why it was so easy to fight today: Wan Shengjun had been fighting for so long, and he hadn't used explosive arrows yet!
Puri's heart wondered, why didn't the Wansheng army use to blow up arrows today? Usually 2,000 men and horses would attack, and a few arrows would be fired from the top of the city, as if to show off to them.
Behind him, there was a sudden sound of horns, as if coming from the sky, along the mountains, resounding throughout the city.
"Lou Muro, Bo Jin, is leading the army!" Purihe glanced back, and saw that on the hillside a mile behind him, more than 10,000 cavalry troops were divided into three roads, and white banners were all over the valley, facing the sea breeze blowing from the south, and rushed towards Yuguan City.
Wanyan Purihei yelled, "Go into the city!" Those who are advanced to the city will be rewarded with ten people! ”
Ten people are ten slaves, those Khitans and Han people, after they were caught, they were all used as slaves, although these military households have land and pay little rent, but they also need someone to farm. Therefore, the raw mouth is a reward that they value very much.
The golden soldiers under the city roared one by one, braving the rain of arrows to kill the city. Wanyan Purihe looked to both sides, and the army led by Wanyan Lou also rushed over, and the Wansheng army in the city gradually became weaker, and even the stones that fell down were much less.
Wanyan Purihe was about to climb the rudimentary ladder with his soldiers, when suddenly a henchman next to him dragged him down. Wanyan Purihei didn't know what was going on, and was about to get angry, but this henchman hurriedly pointed to it and said, "It's on fire above!" ”
Wanyan Purihei looked up, only to find that a raging fire had been burned on the city wall. Fang Cai only cared about directing the siege of the city, and thought that the fire above was set on fire by Wanshengjun who had set fire to the wood and was ready to drop it.
The top and bottom of the city wall, which was shouting and killing just now, suddenly fell silent. There was no shouts of the two armies fighting, only the sound of the beeping fire burning on the city wall, and the golden soldiers who had been at a loss under the city. And those defending Wansheng troops suddenly disappeared.
"Knock open the gates!" Wanyan Pulis suddenly shouted. Fang didn't go to the city gate because the city wall was defended by the Wansheng army, and the city gate was the top priority of defense. Now that Wanshengjun has run away, he naturally wants to go and break the city gate open.
More than a dozen Jin soldiers carried a thick log and slammed into the city gate. The gate was so strong that it had been struck a dozen times in succession, and although it was crumbling, it was still not knocked open. It wasn't until a different group of people crashed into it again that the city gate was knocked down. It turned out that the back of the gate was full of large and small stones. It seems that these Wansheng troops have blocked the city gate from the inside after returning from the sneak attack on them this morning.
Yuguan City is too small, and one city wall cannot accommodate more than 10,000 Jin troops, and the Jin troops on both sides have already surrounded the city walls on both sides.
Wanyan Purihei hurriedly instructed his soldiers to remove the stones behind the city gate so that the army could pass through the city. At this time, a group of people rode over on horseback, and it was Wanyan Lou Room who ran in front.
"Lou Muro Bo Jin, the Wansheng army in the city was defeated by our army, and it has just run away." Although Wanyan Lou Room saw the situation just now, Wan Yan Pu Li Hei still recounted it to Wan Yan Lou Room as usual, and then said without hesitation: "When attacking the city, this Wansheng army did not use explosive arrows, I don't know what the purpose is. ”
Wanyan Lou Room sneered and said: "I don't even want Guancheng anymore, so naturally I can't hold on, so I have to retreat." I think that the bombing arrows that Wansheng Army relied on are gone. ”
"It can't be a fraud, right?" Wanyan Purihei said worriedly.
Wanyan Lou got down from his horse and passed through the city gate, only to see that the houses in the city were all demolished, and wood and stones were everywhere.
Wan Yan Lou Room pointed to the dilapidated houses in the city and said: "This Guancheng is already dilapidated, if you want to use it again, I'm afraid it won't be repaired in half a month." How could Wan Shengjun deceive at such a cost? ”
Indeed, if Wan Shengjun wanted to feign defeat to attract the Jin army, there was no need to demolish the fortress and even fill in the wells. It seems that this Wansheng army is determined to retreat. The reason, Wanyan Lou's guess makes some sense, without the explosive arrows, Wan Shengjun can just hold it for a few more days, and in the end it will still not be able to hold it. The generals of the Wansheng Army naturally understood this, and instead of waiting until they could not hold it in the end, it was better to make arrangements as soon as possible and retreat calmly. The initiative in the morning, the flags hanging on the head of the city, should be all Wansheng army in the old suspicious formation.
"Just in case, I will lead people to pursue, and Purihei will lead the army here to respond in advance." Wan Yan Lou ordered. Wanyan Purihe is the person who completes Yan Zongwang, if Purihei is allowed to chase after Wanshengjun, the credit for the victory is his, and Wanyan Zongwang will definitely blame himself for defeating. Therefore, Wanyan Lou simply found a reason to let Purihei stay in this Guancheng, and he led the army to chase and kill the Wansheng army.
Hehe, since you are cautious, then stay in this leaky Yuguan City!
"Warriors, get rid of the Ten Thousand Victorious Army!" Wanyan Lou let out a low roar, got on his horse first, and ran forward along the street. But when they reached the south gate, although the gate was open, there were piles of wood and stones under the gate, which prevented the cavalry from advancing.
Immediately, more than a dozen soldiers rushed forward to move the stones and wood inside, and at this moment, there was a loud "bang", and several soldiers under the city gate were blown out. Wan Yan Lou was taken aback and almost fell off his horse.
"Explode the arrow!" Everyone screamed.
When the dust and smoke cleared, I saw that a large pit had been blown out under the city gate, and the stones and wooden blocks had been blown open. Several golden soldiers were lying on the ground, covered in blood, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Hearing the sound, Pu Li Hei hurriedly ran to Wanyan Lou's room and said, "I still hope that Lou Lou Lou will think twice, it is better to occupy this Yuguan City first, and then make plans." ”
Annoyed and angry, Wanyan Lou Room said angrily: "You are a Moke, how can you have insight into the affairs of the enemy army? These bombing arrows were just an attempt by the Wansheng army to deter me from chasing me, so that he could retreat with peace of mind. How can I do what he wants?! Give me chase! ”
After speaking, he went out of the city first, and the cavalry followed out of the south gate of Yuguan City and followed Yan Lou's room. Wanyan Purihei had to order his soldiers to wait in Yuguan City to receive the army.
