Chapter 497: The Mongols Storm Xiyang
It seems that the two generals still advocated waiting for the Mongol army to take the initiative to attack.
"The two generals agreed that the Mongols, while brave, were not invincible. They were able to enter the Ming Dynasty and quickly conquer the four states, which must have made their senses. My opinion is the same as yours, so I'll just stand still and see what tricks they play. Wang Laohu said.
The emperor's order to Wang Laohu was to strictly defend Xiyang City for ten days, so in the case of a strong enemy and weak me, it is a good way to use the solid city wall to help defend Xiyang.
Soon after Wang Laohu and the others discussed, the Mongol army outside the city began to attack Xiyang City.
The catapult took the lead in attacking Xiyang City, and the huge stones smashed from the catapult to Xiyang City, and these stones fell on the city wall, smashed flowers on the city wall, and dust splashed everywhere.
The defenders on the walls lay on their stomachs inside the walls, their eyes glued to the Mongol army outside the walls. Wang Laohu and the other generals went to the city wall.
"General Wang, the Mongol army has begun to attack, and the power of this stone throwing is so great that the soldiers of our army can't even raise their heads." General Shi said.
"Of course, the Mongol army will attack the city first, and we only need to preserve our strength now." As Wang Laohu was talking, a boulder smashed on the city wall next to Wang Laohu, smashing up a cloud of dust.
"These Mongols!" General Shi said.
"General Shi, don't be irritated with yourself, we must not mess with ourselves." Wang Laohu said, "After a while, when the Mongol soldiers attacked, there was a time when we were angry. ”
A stone hit the city wall, and a small hole was opened on the city wall, and a large part of the city wall was smashed.
After an early period of stone-throwing and asking for directions, the Mongol army launched an attack. The Mongol army was very aggressive, and at the forefront were the infantry of the Mongol army, armed with shields and scimitars, and the light cavalry followed very closely, in several rows, as if they were waiting for something, and did not attack.
"General Wang, the Mongol soldiers are here. What to do? General Shi said.
General Ma said: "These heaven-killing Mongols want to attack Xiyang City after a wave of stone tools. ”
"General Shi, General Ma, do you have the guts to let the Mongols in?" Wang Laohu asked.
"Let the Mongols come into the city?" General Shi said, "You are crazy, let the Mongols in, and the people will suffer." ”
"It does take a certain amount of courage, and the decision that we were ordered to guard against the Mongol invasion is to let them in. But you see, now the siege of the city is all infantry, and the cavalry has not come forward, so we let these infantry into the city and catch turtles in an urn. Wang Laohu said.
"General Wang, if this Mongolian army breaks through the city gate, we can't close it, and when the Mongolian cavalry arrives, this city will not be able to be saved." General Shi was worried about the tunnel.
"What does General Ma think?"
"General Wang is bold enough, and he doesn't play according to the routine. Although I share this concern with General Shi, I think I can still give it a try. ”
Now the opinion on the field is two to one, Wang Laohu decided to open the city gate and let the Mongolian soldiers in, but how to grasp this degree?
"General Shi, arrange for your people to be on the city wall, and at a certain time, listen to my orders, let the archers shoot at the Mongol soldiers outside, and cut off the Mongol soldiers inside and outside the city, and then it will be easier to close the door and beat the dogs."
"Yes, General Wang."
"General Ma, your men are in ambush in the city, and as soon as the Mongols enter the city, they will rush up to me and teach them a good lesson."
"Okay, General Wang."
After Wang Laohu finished instructing, he said to Yang Buqun: "You immediately recruit good people and horses, and wait for the transfer at any time." ”
Everything was ready, and it was a perfect plan to let the Mongol infantry in and destroy them inside the city. Wang Laohu looked at the Mongolian soldiers coming towards the city and thought deeply.
The Mongols quickly rushed under the city walls, and before they could attack the city, the gates of the city were opened by themselves. This sudden change made the energetic Mongol soldiers stunned.
Sometimes, happiness comes so easily that no one will believe it.
The Mongol soldiers looked at the open gates, but they did not dare to advance.
It turns out that everyone is afraid of empty city plans.
The leader of the Mongol infantry was named Azza, and when he saw this, he had to make a decision immediately. Their purpose is to seize Xiyang City, and now they have not used a single soldier, but the city gate is wide open, which is exactly what they need, but the Ming army opened the city gate at this time, whether it is a fraud.
Holding a scimitar and shield, Aza said, "The Han people are already frightened when they see our momentum, warriors, let's rush in, control the gate, and let the cavalry enter the city." After speaking, he let out a rushing shout of killing.
At Azza's orders, the Mongol infantry rushed into the city.
Because the gates were wide open, the Mongols no longer used ladders, but rushed in through the gates.
Already the Mongol infantry had already rushed into the city of Xiyang
Xiyang City is empty, there are no Ming soldiers, and the Mongolian soldiers who rushed in are still confused, but there are Mongolian soldiers behind them who rush inward.
Aza said: "These Han people are as timid as rats, we haven't rushed to it yet, and since we opened the city gate, we don't know where to go." ”
Thousands of Mongol soldiers had poured into the city.
When everyone was looking for someone around, a shout suddenly came from all around, and the Ming soldiers who had been hiding in the shadows surrounded the Mongolian soldiers from three directions.
General Ma shouted: "Soldiers, the Mongols have rushed in, defend Xiyang, kill me." ”
The shouting of killing shook the sky, the Ming soldiers archers opened the way first, and hundreds of arrows shot at the Mongolian soldiers, and the Mongolians blocked the shield. The arrows hit the shield with a snapping sound, and some of the slower Mongols fell to the ground and died.
General Ma flicked his spear and killed the Mongol soldiers who were hurrying forward.
The spear stabbed forward, and it struck a Mongol soldier in front of his sword. When, the two weapons made a crisp striking sound, General Ma jumped forward again, his legs were raised, the spear shrank and stretched forward, and the spear head hit the Mongolian soldier again, and the Mongolian soldier's shield blocked forward, and the spear hit the shield.
The Mongolian scimitar followed, and at once swept away General Ma's large pointed spear. Opening the way with a shield, the scimitar then advanced. This knife and shot, one forward and one backward, in the continuous forward and backward of the two, fighting.
In such a situation, of course, Wang Laohu will not be idle, in the face of his own idea, let the Mongols in, of course, there must be a limit, if there are too many Mongolian soldiers in the in, it will not be under his control, so the battlefield of Xiyang City, he must participate, and he must always pay attention to the movement of the Mongolian cavalry.
The purple beast sword has been taken in his hand, Wang Laohu leaped forward, the purple beast sword flashed coldly, and stabbed towards the first few Mongolian soldiers, this deep leap, jumped in front of the Mongolian soldiers in the upper right corner.
"When" the Purple Beast Sword stabbed before the Mongol soldiers in Modern War, it bounced the previous Mongol soldiers a few steps away. Another Mongol rushed forward with a scimitar, Wang Laohu took a step forward, and the purple beast sword stabbed into the chest of the Mongol soldier.
The Mongols took a few steps back. Wang Laohu stepped forward again, and the purple beast sword in his hand rushed straight to the Mongolian soldiers in front, and the Mongolian soldiers opened the scimitars in their hands left and right, sometimes using shields to pull away. Wang Laohu used his strength, this bit of strength, the Mongolian soldiers could not meet each other on the ground, a big collision, the sword qi had already opened a hole in the Mongolian soldiers in front of him.
Another Mongolian infantry rushed from the left, and Wang Laohu reached it with the hilt of his sword, and the Mongolian soldier was reached out in one fell swoop.
Wang Laohu rushed forward again, one left and one right, and blocked the two Mongolian soldiers, of course, the Mongolian soldiers would not be stunned by Wang Laohu's two blows, they carried knives, held shields, and stepped forward again.
Wang Laohu used some force, the purple beast sword in his hand emitted a purple cold light, it trembled slightly, he threw the purple beast sword in his hand forward, the sword seemed to have eyes, and flew towards the Mongolian soldiers, several Mongolian soldiers were hit out by the force of the purple beast sword, and withdrew backwards, this impact force also pressed back the Mongolian soldiers who followed behind, so that it overwhelmed a large area.
The Purple Beast Sword bounced back and landed steadily in Wang Laohu's hands.
Seeing that Wang Laohu overturned a large number of Mongols, Aza knew that this person was good at kung fu, and he crossed a few Ming soldiers and attacked Wang Laohu, and he knew that Wang Laohu's identity was not simple.
