Text Chapter 52 The Capture of the City 2

When the four soldiers heard that there was such a good thing, they couldn't help but move their feet, and they all came to the front, regardless of Sun Xing's face, the four pairs of eyes stared at the silver in Sun Xing's hand. How do you look at these pieces of silver, they are all twenty taels smaller, even if they are shared with a total of eight people in the next class, and each person has two taels of snowflake silver, there are not many beautiful things like this kind of windfall!

"Look at what this brother said, are we like that? The county lord is sympathetic to us, and of course the brothers are doing their best! Don't worry, your own brother will never..."Before the words of a Han soldier were finished, the two people hidden behind Sun Xing were separated from the left and right, and they had gone around to the side of the four, and suddenly raised their waist knives and slashed at the nearest two, the two people did not understand what was going on, they had been stabbed, sighed, and fell to the ground, Sun Xing threw his hand, and a few pieces of broken silver were hit on the faces of the other two people, these two people were stunned, and they heard the screams next to them, and suddenly knew that something was wrong, and quickly retreated and jumped to both sides.

Sun Xing drew his knife in his right hand, and with a bang, the waist knife came out of the sheath and slashed directly at the soldier holding the gong in front of him. The soldier took two steps back, and the weapon in his hand was too late to be drawn, so he could only use the torch to resist it, and with a bang, sparks flew everywhere.

Sun Xing's waist knife was heavy, and the torch was lighter, the soldier couldn't hold it, and the torch fell out of his hand. Frightened, his body retreated sharply, and he pulled out the hammer on his waist with one hand, thinking of striking the gong to warn. Sun Xing jumped in a big stride, chasing after him, and at the same time the steel knife was slanted upward, the soldier just pulled out the hammer and hit the gong, but Sun Xing's knife was from the bottom up, and the steel knife broke through the armor, because there was a cotton armor blocking the knife momentum, the steel knife was not deep in the flesh, and between the eagerness, the soldier endured the pain and shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

Sun Xing was in a hurry, swung two knives in a row, and finally slashed at the soldier's face, even the eyes and nose were cut off, a stream of blood spilled, the soldier shouted twice, threw down the gong and the hammer, covered his face, Sun Xing stabbed the man in the lower abdomen again, after the steel knife entered the stomach, Sun Xing's right hand stirred hard, stirring the organs and intestines in his abdomen, and then drew the knife and shook it, the soldier's abdominal debris fell out a lot, and the person also fell to the ground, obviously not alive. The gong clanged and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Only the last soldier remained, and the soldier was so frightened that he shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! shouted twice, and was besieged by Sun Xing's two subordinates left and right, and after a few scrambled times, he finally revealed his flaws and was stabbed with a knife. A few people in the back hurriedly ran over, to the gatehouse, to the winch next to it, several people turned the winch together, only to hear the squeaking sound, as the chain was constantly lowered, the suspension bridge on the trench outside the city continued to fall, and finally fell flat on the suspension bridge with a bang. Sun Xing and others ran to the winch of the suspension bridge, and several people worked together to remove the hinges of the suspension bridge and completely destroy it. The hinges are made of iron rings that are connected to each other, using two thick logs as fulcrums, and the logs are buried deep in the soil of the aisle of the city wall, and then several layers of thick green bricks are laid on them. The crowd did not have the tools at their disposal, and they could not break the chains of the drawbridge for a while.

As soon as Sun Xing and his party dealt with the four soldiers, they heard an uproar under the city gate, and soon the sound of crackling and fighting came up.

It turned out that although Sun Xing and the others started quickly, after all, there was a sound, and it happened that there were two soldiers in the house under the city gate who were in a hurry to urinate and came out to get up at night. The one in front was wearing clothes and dragging cloth shoes, opened the gate, and just came out, he heard the faint screams of his comrades on duty on the city wall, and then there were two clear "enemy attack!" ”。 The soldier was stunned for a moment, and before he could react for a moment, his eyes were dark, and two big hands reached out from the side, grabbing his hair bun with one hand, grabbing his neck with the other, and lifting him out of the air with both hands.

The soldier's scalp ached, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of "Ah! Then it stopped abruptly, it turned out that a steel knife had been stabbed into his stomach, and the steel knife was twisted hard in it, and the strength of the soldier was immediately discharged, and then he was thrown aside, and he was stabbed several times.

A soldier who followed behind, sleepy-eyed, saw the companion in front of him fly out at once, slightly stunned, and saw several men outside the door, like a ghost, he captured and killed his companion at once, and was so frightened that he reflexively retreated, while shouting: "Enemy attack!" Get up! Get up! Enemy attack! ”

A few people outside the door didn't expect that it was actually two people who came out, and solved the first one, only to find that there was another one behind. It was too late to regret it now, so I had to follow the original plan, and a few people blocked the door and windows with weapons to prevent the soldiers inside from rushing out. At the same time, four people were divided to hurry to open the city gate. The main reason why everyone didn't rush in was that there were no candles in the room, the light was dim, and it was difficult to see the characters clearly when they suddenly entered. Moreover, the doors and windows are narrow, which is more convenient than guarding the doors and windows outside.

The panels of the two gates were very heavy, and several people tried to remove the latches of the gates, but they did not move at all after several attempts. A sharp-eyed man looked at the lantern in the doorway, saw a black shadow on the door latch, reached out and touched it, it was actually a child's leg thick iron chain, the iron chain was locked, and naturally the door latch could not be removed. It turned out that the hundred households who were guarding temporarily asked people to find a thick iron chain and locked the door latch, and the key to unlocking the lock was naturally in the hands of the hundred households.

Fortunately, because there were too few weapons in the hands of the people who came to fight, most of them were holding wooden sticks, iron rods, etc., among which Yan Wei happened to use an iron hammer, which was just suitable for dealing with this lock.

The Yuan court strictly controlled the weapons of the people, and even the kitchen knives used by the people for cooking had to be recorded, and they were shared by several families. As for the weapons of the Han army, if they are not descendants, they are concentrated in the arsenal in peacetime, and can only be distributed to the army during combat, and the Han army generally prohibits the use of bows and crossbows. In the past ten years, due to the rising tide of rebellion in various places, the Mongolian army and other troops are not enough to use it, so they have used a large number of Han troops and rebel armies, and at the same time, they have to turn a blind eye to the weapons and bows and crossbows they use, and relax the restrictions. However, the weapons of the people are still quite strictly controlled, and when the people go out to guard, they do not have many swords in their hands, let alone bows and crossbows, and most people still use iron rulers or long sticks.

Yan Wei stepped forward, his feet were slightly wider than his shoulders, standing like a rock, and then his waist and legs exerted his strength, his arms were raised high, and he smashed it with all his strength against the iron lock. Only heard a few bells, the iron lock was finally smashed open, the four people quickly removed the chain, took off the door latch together, and then pushed open a city gate together, one of the four people is the shopkeeper of the line, surnamed Lao, seeing that the garrison under the city gate has been alarmed, anxiously urged: "Everyone work harder, quickly open all the doors, Yanzi, you use the hammer to smash the door shaft of the city gate as much as possible, let's help them block the door after the three of us open the door!" ”

Yan Wei agreed sullenly. The four of them continued to exert their strength to completely open the other city gate, at this time the drawbridge of the trench had been put down, the shopkeeper Lao took two people back to the gate of the garrison's house to help block the officers and soldiers rushing outward, Yan Wei wielded a hammer to smash the door shaft with all his might, the city gate door panel is vast, and there are two cast iron super gate shafts above and below each door, Yan Wei has nowhere to climb, and can only destroy the door shaft below, and the sound of knocking is endless for a while. As long as this gate shaft is destroyed, it will be difficult to close the gate easily.

About 60 people slept in the two houses under the city, 30 in each room, and the rest stood guard or patrolled outside. After he was awakened by the fight outside, he knew that the matter was urgent, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to put it on, so he simply wrapped his clothes and urged his subordinates to pick up their weapons and break out.

In the dimly lit room, dozens of soldiers were in chaos for a while, like flies in a dung pit being startled, shouting and screaming outward, but someone outside the house had already guarded the door with weapons, several weapons poked inside at the same time, and all the soldiers were knocked down at the door without paying attention.

The hundred households saw that the door was blocked, and the two sides were deadlocked, so they shouted loudly: "Don't panic, they have few people, and they don't have bows and crossbows!" What is there to fear? Where are the pro-soldiers? A few pro-soldiers replied loudly, and came over in the dark, and Baihu ordered to light the candles in the house first. In the confusion, the flint that had been placed on the table had long since been discarded to the ground, and several soldiers felt on the ground for a while before finding it.

After a few clicks, the spark burst out, igniting the candle flame, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot. With the light, the panicked mood of the soldiers calmed down slightly, although Baihu was also frightened, but at this time he could not hesitate, so he ordered two personal soldiers to break the window with sixteen or seventeen soldiers, and strive to jump out of the window, and the rest of the soldiers themselves led by themselves, and tried to rush through the gate again.

The house had two windows, and because there were two more exits, the outside guards had to separate a few people under the windows, and the defense at the door was immediately much smaller. Because there were hundreds of households in this house, the two sides soon fought inseparably, and after a while, someone outside the house was injured. Luo Cheng saw that the Han army in the house broke through by different routes, and urgently ordered his subordinates to block the windows respectively, while he held a steel knife to firmly guard the door.

Seeing that the outside was well guarded, the hundred households in the house were so anxious that they stomped their feet in the house, and suddenly saw a few benches in the room, and thought about it, and ordered the two personal soldiers to hold the two legs of the bench respectively, protect the upper plate, and prepare to rush out one after the other, while a few soldiers were close behind them, trying their best to block the weapons attacking from the left and right. Several people lined up in a line, and when they were ready, everyone suddenly shouted and rushed out! Luo Cheng and the others were lined up outside, left and right and in front, and saw the enemy rushing out of the house, and at the same time slashing vigorously, a few slashing sounds came, which was actually different from before. Everyone looked at the light of the torches under the city, but the Han soldiers were holding wooden stools above and in front of them, waving left and right regardless of the surrounding swords.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, everyone was a little caught off guard, and five or six people rushed out of the house at once, Luo Cheng was in a hurry, he was rushing to the door, and the enemy suddenly rushed out, blocked the sword, and actually pushed him back three or four steps!

"Block the door, never retreat!" Luo Cheng shouted, quickly squatted down, the sharp blade in his hand in the enemy's lower plate quickly picked a few times, one of the knives penetrated deep into the enemy's thigh, the blade has not yet left the body, hot blood from his thigh wound splashed like a fountain, the pain made the enemy scream, the scream has not stopped, it has been hit by Luo Cheng's sweeping leg again, the person immediately fell obliquely and fell to the ground. Luo Cheng ignored him anymore, and simply used the ground sword technique and pounced forward.

In the dark night, the swords were shining, the sound of blocking, fighting and screaming continued, Luo Cheng and more than a dozen other people worked hard to guard the doors and windows according to the geographical advantages, and from time to time some companions fell under the knives and guns of the pawns. Fortunately, the Yuan army was in a hurry, and the space of the doors and windows was narrow after all, and it was difficult to stand out for a while, and it was impossible to form an outdoor numerical advantage.

When several Han soldiers rushed out of the house in a row, Luo Cheng had to block in the front, at the critical moment, a big Han companion at the door shouted, his right hand stabbed a spear in the house, his left hand held the gun tightly, and he took the area in his arms, followed by a flying kick to kick the enemy pawn holding the spear back into the house, and at the same time knocked down several enemy pawns behind him. This big man directly blocked the door, holding a knife in one hand and a spear in the other, stabbing left and right, and he actually firmly guarded this place!
