Text Chapter 56 The Capture of the City 6
Sun Xing couldn't come to the rescue, and when he saw his subordinates die in battle, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and commanded everyone to continue to strictly guard the front and not rush out without authorization, "Sun Xing is here, swear to kill Hu Lu!" Han thief, I will kill you to avenge my brother! ”
"Boy, death is still so rampant, grandpa sent you to the west today! Kill me, and don't let anyone go! The hundred households looked hideous, he caught a glimpse of the fire dragon outside the city getting closer and closer, and his heart became more and more anxious, but these dozen or so anti-thieves fought to the death and did not retreat, and there was nothing they could do for a while. He could only urge his subordinates again and again, rushing forward regardless of casualties, and after a while, two more subordinates around Sun Xing were killed.
Yu Zhilong and the others were already hazy in the gallop, and saw the chaotic figures on the city gate tower, and at the same time heard the faint sound of fighting. In the darkness, a figure suddenly returned in front of him, and when he was still far away, he heard Qian Zheng shouting: "My lord, the battle has started ahead, the city gate has been opened, the drawbridge has fallen, everyone can't support it anymore, my lord, hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
Yu Zhilong was even more anxious, urging loudly, galloping wildly, while pulling out his waist knife and raising it high above his head.
"Gentlemen, shout with me!" He shouted first.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Ji Xiancheng immediately understood behind him that this was not only to encourage the morale of his own soldiers, but also to echo the comrades in the bloody battle ahead with his voice, encouraging them to continue to fight.
Without thinking, Ji Xiancheng then shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”
The crowd behind him then chanted: "Kill, kill, kill!" Hundreds of people gradually shouted, and after the sound of blood and anger converged neatly, it spread far away in the dark night, and the sound of "killing" shook the heavens and the earth!
The sound of hooves is like thunder, and the earth trembles!
In the open field under the clouds, except for the roar of horses' hooves, there were hundreds of people shouting and killing!
The sound of "killing" is earth-shattering! When the officers and soldiers heard this, they were all discouraged. Sun Xing and others were overjoyed when they heard it! The big work in his hands was accelerated, and while the officers and soldiers were cold, he forced back the officers and soldiers who besieged the front.
Qian Zheng just stepped forward to investigate, and saw that the battle was fierce in the city gate cave and the city gate tower, especially at the city gate tower, his side was surrounded in a heap, with his back against the city wall, and he protected the chain pillar of the suspension bridge.
Qian Zheng is alone, going up to support is also a drop in the bucket, looking back at the distant cottage, only to see a fire dragon is drilling out of the cottage, rushing towards the city gate, Qian Zheng hurriedly turned the horse's head, hurriedly rushed back, saw Yu Zhilong halfway, and immediately reported before the person arrived.
Yu Zhilong, Ji Xiancheng, Qian Zheng and others galloped wildly, Qian Zheng led the way, and soon arrived at the trench, Yu Zhilong could already see clearly, and several bloody people were struggling to support at the city gate. Without saying a word, Yu Zhilong rushed to the door first. The drawbridge had already been pulled up by the Han army, and it had just risen a foot, and it could be seen that only one end of the chain had been tightened, and the bridge deck was now slightly sloping.
"Reinforcements have arrived, and those who stand in my way are dead!" Although there were a few torches illuminated by the doorway, after all, the fire was dim, and Yu Zhilong was worried that he might accidentally injure his own people if he directly collided with it. In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, as long as it is on the way to charge, no matter what is three, seven or twenty-one, Yu Zhilong can only kill him. The reason for warning in advance is to try not to accidentally hurt your own people.
Hundreds of horses galloped in, their hooves roaring, and they crossed the suspension bridge as quickly as a long dragon, and the suspension bridge that was originally rising could no longer be pulled because of the strain.
The warring parties in the doorway had already felt it. And the continuous "killing" sound from the horse team was even more amazing, Luo Cheng, Lao Shopkeeper and others felt that the horse team was approaching, and heard Yu Zhilong's warning words, knowing that the war horse was coming in an instant, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly retreated to both sides of the doorway, and immediately flashed out of the middle road.
Yu Zhilong didn't slow down the horse's speed, and knocked the horse's belly behind his feet, urging the war horse to speed up, and a group of people rushed over like the wind. Only a thud was heard, and at least a dozen people were hit by the war horses and flew away, either dead or injured. The hundred households who were originally commanding in the back saw the thieves rushing over, they were already frightened, and they couldn't dodge, and they were cut off by Yu Zhilong's helmet, and he was about to retreat, Wu Side had already slashed away with a knife like a storm, and the neck of the hundred households was stabbed, and the blood splashed out more than one person high, and it must be inactive.
There were only six or seven people left on the city tower, and Sun Xing and the others were unable to protect the two chain pillars for a long time. When the Han army saw that a pillar had been seized, they were so anxious that they ordered the soldiers to quickly turn the winch, and only one chain of the drawbridge was tightened, and the bridge deck naturally tilted. At this time, Yu Zhilong had just stepped on the bridge deck, hundreds of horsemen behind him came one after another, the galloping fast horse stepped heavily on the bridge deck, the strength was as big as a hill, and several soldiers on it barely turned a few times, and finally did not support, the runner took off, the chain slid down, and the bridge deck fell again!
"The city is broken! The city is broken! The city is broken! The hundreds of cavalry who rushed into the city shouted loudly in surprise, and the shouts were clearly audible in the middle of the night.
Yu Zhilong led a large group of cavalry to rush straight into the city, scattering the officers and soldiers at the door, the horse team did not stop, continued to move forward, and met a group of officers and soldiers who came to reinforce head-on. It's just that the first support soldier sent by the beggar to the south city gate, a deputy hundred households led nearly a hundred people and horses to come quickly, they have heard the killing sound and shouts here when they are approaching the city gate, the hundred households are anxious, and urge the soldiers to speed up their pace, seeing that they are about to arrive, suddenly there is a big uproar in front, "The city is broken!" The city is broken! The shouts came to their faces, and all the officers and soldiers were in shock, when they saw a large force of cavalry suddenly pouring out of the faint light and shadow in front of them.
"Kill!" Yu Zhilong saw the soldiers who appeared on the opposite side, raised his swords, and continued to charge, hundreds of cavalry rushed to kill in the narrow street, the lethality was extremely amazing, after a round of trampling, more than 30 people were lying on the ground, and the remaining Han troops retreated to both sides of the street, their bodies were close to the houses on the side of the road, and they couldn't squeeze a hole in the wall so that they could stuff their bodies in.
Yu Zhilong rushed out hundreds of meters and finally stopped his horse, turned the horse's head, and then looked at the situation behind him, this Han army has been basically disabled by himself, and the frightened remnants of the Han army are all attached to both sides of the street, neither dare to charge himself, nor dare to run away along the street, Yu Zhilong no longer cares about these people, raised his eyes and looked at the gatehouse, the Han army on the city wall seems to have lost its fighting spirit, and the Han army that was originally clustered together is obviously sparse.
"Leader Liu, Leader Qin, and the two of you will continue to rush forward with your own team of men and horses, defeat any enemy troops who come to reinforce them, and occupy the county government and the county treasury. I'll take the men and horses back again, and then go to join the two of you after taking the city gate completely! ”
"No problem! Look good! Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan excitedly agreed, and then continued to rush forward with their respective men. After successfully rushing into the city, the hearts of the two were full of joy, since Yu Zhilong was willing to stay here and fight, it was just right that they could enter the city to show their skills!
After letting Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan, the roaring cavalry, Yu Zhilong waved his sword and ordered: "Let's kill back, occupy the city gate, and save our brothers!" "Turn around and rush back first. Ji Xiancheng and Qian Zheng followed closely. Most of the remnants of the Han army on both sides of the street did not dare to step forward to block at all, and even many people knelt directly on the side of the road, abandoned their weapons, raised their hands and surrendered, and let Yin Zhilong and others kill all the way back to the city gate without hindrance.
The Han army at the city gate cave has long been killed like falling flowers, not to mention that its hundred households have been killed, and now the morale of the Han army is depressed, seeing Luo Cheng and others strictly guarding the city gate hole, there is no hope of breaking through the city, goodbye Yu Zhilong and others rode horses to kill back, except for a few stars, most people had to abandon their weapons and surrender.
Yu Zhilong rushed to the city gate under the horse road, flew off the horse, raised his knife and rushed upward, Ji Xiancheng was afraid that he would lose, so he followed closely by his side. When the Han army above saw that these thieves had come back after killing them, they were all panicked, and the cowardly simply slipped along the city wall road to both sides. After a battle just now, now the Han army at the gate tower of the city wall is less than 100 people, everyone has seen hundreds of cavalry swarms pouring into the city, the contrast between the two phases of strength is too great, especially seeing that the reinforced officers and soldiers were completely defeated by a charge of the thief army, these people's luck was immediately shattered, no matter whether the city can be held in the end, if they don't plan for themselves, they are afraid that their lives will have to be explained here!
Yu Zhilong killed the door all the way, almost like entering a no-man's land, and as soon as he stepped on the city, Ji Xiancheng shouted next to Zhilong: "This city has been broken, don't you wait to descend early?" Those who descend will not die! ”
Before the words fell, a few soldiers threw down their weapons, knelt on the side, and shouted: "Willing to surrender, willing to surrender!" "With the one who took the lead, some of the soldiers around him followed suit. After a while, there were at least more than 40 people who surrendered, and Yu Zhilong and others surrounded more than 20 Han troops who had not yet surrendered. He threw the steel knife and motioned to his subordinates to surrender. For a while, the clanging sound was endless, and the last stubborn Han army at the city gate was taken prisoner.
At this moment, Sun Xing and the others only survived five people, and all of them were injured. As soon as the battle here ended, Sun Xing's five people were tired and lost their strength, and they could no longer stand, and the four of them sat against the wall, only Sun Xing barely stood on the ground with a knife and a chain pillar with one hand.
"My lord, Sun Xingxing is fortunate not to be dishonored."
"You did a great job, very good! Rest and I'll take care of the rest. Yu Zhilong held Sun Xing's hand tightly and sat down with him. Sun Xing was injured, there were at least five or six injuries on his arms, shoulders, and thighs, fortunately he was not injured, but he bled a lot, and now his body was out of strength, just now because he was nervous about fighting, Sun Xing didn't feel it, and now he stopped, he only felt that his muscles were sore and weak, his throat and eyes were burning like fire, and his legs were still shaking, and it was difficult to support his body.
Ji Xiancheng saw that Sun Xing's face was pale, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he didn't know whether it was hot or painful, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged it on the side.
In just two pillars of incense, the battle of the city tower was so tragic, the ground was full of dead and wounded, and nearly forty corpses fell within a radius of only 100 meters, several corpses were completely scuffled and entangled, making it difficult for people to separate, blood flowed all over the road, even if it was originally used to cushion the soil with lime, covering a lot of oil, but after a bloody battle, the blood flowing out of the corpse was completely soaked with lime, stepping on it, and the feet were slippery. Just next to Sun Xing, Yu Zhilong found that a soldier was completely stabbed through a spear in the abdomen, and although the other person was dead, he still held the gun tightly with one hand, and one person held a knife to fight. Distinguish his clothes, but he is dressed as a yacha.
"This is our own brother, a tough guy, it's a pity!" Sun Xing saw Yu Zhilong's gaze on this person for a while, and said in a dumb voice.
Yu Zhilong nodded, looked around the left and right, the captured Han officers and soldiers were kneeling on the side, Ji Xiancheng arranged for his subordinates to completely collect their weapons, and several people came over to bandage the wounds of Sun Xing and others. Dozens of captives were taken to the side of the alley, all bowing their heads and kneeling, not daring to speak. A man of about forty years old took Yan Wei to rummage around the corpses on the ground, holding a few corpses and sobbing from time to time.
"Brother Sun, you have to persevere, otherwise it will be difficult to take this city gate so smoothly, you have to rest, and we will solve the rest of the matter!" Ji Xiancheng saw that Sun Xing's five people were bloodied for the rest of their lives, and not only sighed. He saw clearly that among the corpses in this place, the officers and soldiers accounted for about 30 corpses, not counting the wounded, and he only killed more than ten people, and the proportion of casualties was so large, which shows the strong fighting spirit of Sun Xing and others, and the abundant results.
Looking at the rolling logs and stones that had been piled up on the city wall like a hill, Yu Zhilong and Ji Xiancheng were secretly frightened, if this sneak attack failed and was changed to a strong attack, I don't know how many brothers they would lose.
