The only remaining 2,000 Nong soldiers led by Nong Zhigao fled on horseback, while those non-descendant Han troops and the troops of Huang, Wei, and the Three Families all relied on big feet to escape. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Therefore, Nong Zhigao is naturally much faster than them.

When the Western Army pursued and killed the defeated Nong army and came to Yongzhou City, Nong Zhigao had just fled into Yongzhou City.

Originally, most of the war horses ridden by the cavalry units of the Western Army were good horses in the northwest - Hequ horses, which were faster than the Nong soldiers with high Zhizhi who rode those Lingnan bantam horses and Dali horses.

But Nong Zhigao is probably also a veteran of escaping, and his escape skills are very powerful, he can't escape, and he can't be locked easily.

At that time, during the battle of Quy Nhon Pu, Nong Zhigao saw that the momentum was not good, so he immediately took off the conspicuous dragon robe on his body and fled among those Nong soldiers. Moreover, he was escaping, letting his Nong soldiers disperse and flee in small teams, and they also passed by the Han soldiers of the rout brigade and the troops of the Huang, Wei, and Zhou families, using those non-descendant Nong troops as cover.

Originally, Di Qing's pursuit mission for the cavalry of the Western Army was to bite Nong Zhigao to death, because as long as Nong Zhigao was captured, this chaos in Lingnan would end quickly.

But those Nong soldiers scattered and fled, and the Western Army had to pursue separately, and those Nong soldiers often passed through the defeated brigade of Nong Han soldiers and the troops of Huang, Wei, and Zhoujia.

Although those non-descendant troops of the Nong army only cared about escaping, they had no fighting spirit and did not care about attacking the cavalry of the Western Army, but the cavalry of the Western Army did not dare to be careless when passing through them, and they had to clean up the non-descendant troops on the road they passed, otherwise if these routs gave them a hand, wouldn't there be more unnecessary damage. So, after coming and going, he was thrown off by Nong Zhigao, and when the cavalry of the Western Army chased him to the city of Yongzhou, Nong Zhigao fled into the city of Yongzhou.

As soon as Nong Zhigao fled from the north gate into Yongzhou City, he immediately ordered the defenders to close the north gate of Yongzhou.

As a result, the city gate blocked those non-descendant troops from the outside of the city, and of course, some of their own descendants did not have time to rush into the city, and they were also locked outside the city.

However, most of those Nong soldiers were riding war horses, and they still had a chance to survive, that is, to quickly go around to the other city gates, and try to enter the city before the other city gates were closed.

As for the nong-related troops who were blocked out of the northern city gate and ran away on two feet, they were sad. Because they have no life anymore, they can't help but scold Nong Zhigao bastard!

Of course, they do have ample reasons to scold Nong Zhigao. They finally escaped alive to the city, but their own family closed the city gates, blocked them from the city, and also cut off their last chance of life, which really made them depressed to death.

Belch...... They were indeed about to die, because the soldiers of the Western Army who had come to bite them had already slashed their blades at those Nong soldiers without hesitation.

By the time the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army, under the leadership of their commander Cui Feng, pursued to the north city gate, those Nong troops who were not from the Nong Zhi family had basically been killed by the Western Army comrades who came first.

The soldiers in the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army did not receive the order to pursue Nong Zhigao, and it is estimated that Di Qing also knew that their riding skills could not keep up with the pace of those large groups of cavalry for the time being.

Therefore, although they were also cavalry, they did not act with the cavalry of the Western Army. The task of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army, like most of the infantry of the Western Army, was to freely pursue and kill the defeated Nong army.

However, because they were cavalry, they pursued more defeated Nongs than those Western infantry. Seeing these nong troops fleeing, the soldiers of the Pingxi army were also full of golden light. These heads are a lot of merit and reward, so the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army let go of their hands and feet along the way, and they were very wanton and wantonly, harvesting the lives of those nong army routs. By the time the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army arrived at the north gate of Yongzhou City, everyone's immediate staff had already hung the heads of many Nong troops.

Because in order to chase and kill the Nong army more on the road and earn more credit, there was more delay on the road, so by the time the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army arrived at the north gate of Yongzhou City, there were already many infantry comrades of the Western Army who had arrived under the city, and they had almost killed the non-descendant Nong army who were locked up outside the city.

When Cui Feng came to the city with the Pingxi army, he saw that the city of Yongzhou was completely chaotic, and there were not many Nong troops defending the city.

When Nong Zhigao fled into Yongzhou City, he fled in a hurry. When he entered the city, he immediately ordered the defenders to close the city gates, and the drawbridge did not even have time for people to rise.

As soon as Nong Zhigao entered the city, he locked those Han soldiers and the troops of Huang, Wei, and the three families outside the city, and those Nong troops in Yongzhou City naturally knew about the rout of their own army. Moreover, this rout was completely defeated, and now only his own "emperor" fled into the city with a few hundred remnants of the defeated army.

Nan Nima's battle is still a hair, the 50,000 elite army is gone, relying on them, who have not been on the battlefield much, how can they deal with those wolf-like Song troops who have just put down their hoes and joined the army.

Therefore, although Nong Zhigao closed the four gates of Yongzhou City as soon as he entered the city, the people in the city were panicked, and no one was at ease to defend the city.

Since ancient times, once a city is besieged, whether it can be defended in the end or not, the people in the besieged city will be miserable. Because during the siege, they could not get assistance, and could only rely on the reserves and food and grass in the city to resist. In some cities that have been besieged for a long time, in the end, if the food runs out, there will even be a tragic situation of cannibalism. This kind of thing is by no means a rare occurrence in history.

And after resisting for so long, in the end, even if the defenders in the city want to surrender, I am afraid that they will be retaliated by the besieging party. Because both sides have been attacking and defending for so long, they have suffered heavy casualties and have deep grievances. When one side loses, the possibility of the winning side not retaliating is very small.

Because of this, at this time, the nong army in Yongzhou City has lost their hearts and has long lost their determination to defend the city.

…………

When Cui Feng took the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army to chase and kill the Nong army to the city of Yongzhou, he saw that the suspension bridge on the moat at the north gate of Yongzhou City was not pulled up, and there was not even a horse gun and antler array, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

At that moment, Cui Feng asked the soldiers in the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army to take out a few large explosive bags, and personally led a few strong soldiers to rush to the north gate of Yongzhou City. He was ready to blow up the gates of Yongzhou City and open the passage for the Western Army to achieve the final victory.

The military spirit of the defenders on the north wall of Yongzhou City had already dispersed at this time, and they saw Cui Feng with a few soldiers, one of whom rushed under the city gate with a cloth bag, and only symbolically shot a few feather arrows to defend it. Of course, these defenders are also because Cui Feng is just a few people, and there is no equipment to break the door, even if they rush over, it is useless, and what can they do, they don't care too much. If they knew that Cui Feng's cloth bag in their hands could blow the city gate to pieces, it was estimated that they would defend it carefully.

Of course, even if the defenders of the city defend carefully, it is estimated that it will not be of much use. Because the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army saw that their commander personally carried the explosive bag and rushed to the north gate of Yongzhou City, they couldn't help but take off the riding bow on their backs, bend the bow and arrows, and pour the feather arrows on the head of Yongzhou City, so as to suppress the defenders at the head of the city and cover their own commanders to place the explosives package.

The defenders at the head of the city did not have the fighting spirit to resolutely defend the city, and under the suppression of the feather arrows of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army, they would not be so stupid that someone would come out and send them to death. So they all hid behind the battlements of the city wall, hiding from the rain of arrows in the middle camp of the Pingxi Army, and none of them dared to fight back.

Cui Feng and the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army easily arrived at the north gate of Yongzhou City.

They placed several large explosive bags in their hands under the city gate, and found some masonry to crush them, so that the explosive power of the explosive bags could go as far as possible to the city gate, and then they lit the velvet fuse of the explosive bag, opened their mouths wide, and ran back all the time.

This method of opening their mouths wide to reduce the damage when the explosive package exploded was naturally taught to them by Zhong Hao, so as not to be shocked by the loud explosion and damage their eardrums. Although Cui Feng and the others didn't know what the trick was, they all knew that it really worked, so they all did what Zhong Hao said.

Cui Feng and the soldiers of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army had just run not far from the moat of Yongzhou City, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion behind them......
