Chapter 497: Temporarily Entering the City
Xinfeng City is like a giant beast, sleeping in the dark. **Soak! Book. Bar*
The silent night sky is filled with the occasional crisp birdsong.
On the castle tower, there were no other soldiers on the castle tower except for the soldiers standing guard on the inside of the female wall, and a dozen soldiers patrolling back and forth.
"Step! Trample! ”
The silent castle tower, except for the footsteps of soldiers walking back and forth, was very quiet. Inserted in the castle tower, the crackling torch shines through the red firelight, emitting a stream of heat, dispelling the slightest cold in the dark night. But the spring cold is precipitous, and when a cold air blows in the face, it still makes the soldiers on the city tower can't help but shrink their heads.
"Ahh
One soldier sneezed and rubbed his sour nose.
He stood on the inside of the female wall, staring carefully into the distance in a daze.
Outside the tower, there was nothing but the sticky night, but the soldiers remained the same, staring at the front without moving.
Suddenly, a few bright lights flashed in the soldier's stunned eyes, and in an instant, more and more small fire points gathered together, forming a dazzling brilliance. The soldier's stunned eyes suddenly became active, and he stretched out his hand to point into the distance, exclaiming, "Quick, look, there is a fire ahead." ”
Since Duan Xuan and Xu Rong led the troops to Fan Chou's camp and also left Xinfeng City, the soldiers could not distinguish whether it was the enemy army or their own people who appeared in front of them. He shouted loudly, and when the rest of the soldiers heard it, their eyes shifted to the point of light in front of them. The red torches shone brightly, and a huge team slowly appeared.
"Enemy attack!"
"It's an enemy attack! It's an enemy attack! ”
……
On the tower of the city, the exclamations of soldiers sounded.
The soldiers who were patrolling hurriedly ran to the edge of the women's wall, stuck out their heads and looked carefully. As far as the eye could see, I saw that under the dark night, the black oppressive team appeared in the light of the fire. Seeing so many enemy troops, the corners of the soldiers' mouths twitched, and their faces showed frightened expressions, Xu Rong and Duan Xuan led the army out of the city, the defensive strength in the city was very weak, and they would definitely not be able to stop the enemy army in front of them.
"Boom ......"
The footsteps of countless soldiers mixed together, like waves rushing in, mixed with the sound of rolling thunder, which was terrifying.
The silent night sky suddenly boiled and became noisy.
On the city tower, a patrolling soldier quickly ran to the captain guarding the city tower, and said in a low voice: "Lord Captain, there is no defensive force in the city, and even the basic rolling stones, boiling water, and sassal wood are not prepared, how can we defend the city?" If you wait for the army to attack the city, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it ......."
The soldier was hesitant, and the last few words were not spoken.
When the captain heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Since you can't stop it, what do you say you should do?" ”
When the soldier saw the captain asking, he did not notice the coldness in the captain's tone, but thought that the captain's heart was shaken and he was ready to surrender. The soldier was happy in his heart, bent down slightly, lowered his head, and arched his hand: "Lord Captain, the army is attacking the city, we will definitely not be able to resist it, rather than resisting desperately, and being breached after countless casualties, it is better to open the city and surrender directly." ”
After hearing this, the corners of the captain's mouth hooked, and the coldness on his face became more and more intense.
Seeing that the captain did not answer, doubts flashed in the soldier's heart, and he still bent over and raised his head slightly to look at the captain. However, the moment he raised his head, the pupils in the soldier's eyes shrank, and his eyes flashed with fear.
Sonorous!
A crisp voice sounded, and the captain suddenly pulled out the war knife at his waist, and the blade flicked up.
"Poof!"
The light of the knife flashed, and the soldier's head immediately moved, fell from his neck, and fell on the city wall and rolled a few times, leaving a pool of blood. The soldier lost his head, his body still standing on the wall, and he still felt a little. I saw a warm blood spraying out of my neck and spilling on the ground, dotted with blood-red plum blossoms.
With a thud, the soldier's body fell to the ground.
He didn't even have time to say anything before he was killed.
At this time, a few blood stains splattered on the captain's cheeks, making his already cold cheeks a little more hideous.
He glanced at the soldiers on the city tower, and shouted coldly: "General Xu has long expected today's situation, there are still a few hundred soldiers left in the city, which is enough to garrison the county seat. Although there are many troops outside the city, but the county seat of Xinfeng City is strong, as long as we are waiting for help, we will be able to wait until the general leads the troops back, you are all doing your best to defend the city, if there are people who shake the hearts of the army, he is an example. ”
The captain pointed his knife at the soldier and sneered.
After saying this, the lieutenant asked the soldiers to inform the soldiers who were resting in the city.
Moments later, hundreds of soldiers rushed to the walls, ready to defend the city. The lieutenant glanced at the busy soldiers, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He said it nicely, but he knew that it was very difficult to hold Xinfeng City with the hundreds of soldiers in front of him. The captain turned his eyes and looked at the army rushing outside the city, and said secretly in his heart: It is worth it to exchange hundreds of soldiers for victory in the big battle.
After a while, the army pouring from outside the city stopped.
Fan Chouce immediately stepped forward, looked at the captain on the city tower, and shouted: "I am the general Fan Chou, you will open the city gate immediately, abandon the city and surrender, and the general will not die." ”
The captain laughed and shouted: "Fan Chou, you have been tricked, my general has already led the troops to attack the camp, and now most of them have taken the camp." Your camp has been destroyed, the grain and grass have been robbed, and the tens of thousands of troops have run out of food, see how long you can be arrogant, although you have tens of thousands of troops, but you are just a chicken and a dog, hurry back. ”
After Fan Chou heard this, he was so angry that he shouted.
However, the lieutenant's words obviously didn't work, because Li Ru and Jia Xu had already expected this situation.
Fan Chou was about to speak, but when he saw Li Ru coming up, he said softly: "General, that captain is delaying time, don't entangle with him." Attack the city immediately and take Xinfeng City as soon as possible, if it is too late, it will change. ”
Fan Chou nodded, waved the war knife in his hand, and roared: "Siege!" ”
At the sound of an order, the soldiers quickly took out the siege equipment and prepared to attack the city.
Because the path chosen by Fan Chou and Li Meng was different from Xu Rong's, and it was not the same path, the two armies did not meet. The two sides fought their own battles, Fan Chou led the troops to attack Xinfeng City, while Duan Xuan led the troops to feint the camp, and the two sides showed their skills, but Duan Xuan was killed by Zhang Xiu, and Li Ru and Fan Chou were still attacking the city, and the final result is not known.
Fan Chou and Li Meng, as well as Li Ru rode the horse, standing under the city tower, watching the soldiers rushing up one by one, the expressions on their faces were different, Fan Chou and Li Meng looked happy, happy that they were about to capture Xinfeng City, but Li Ru looked solemn and fell into contemplation.
"Boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the entire tower felt a tremble.
Dozens of soldiers carried a huge log the thickness of a grinding disc and rushed quickly to the city gate. The cone of the giant tree slammed against the gate with a dull thudding sound, and the gate was struck by the giant tree like a small boat in a stormy sea, ready to fall at any moment. There was a rumbling sound, and a puff of dust fell from the city gates, but the soldiers did not notice it in the slightest, and continued to carry the huge trees against the city gates.
On the tower of the city, the hundreds of soldiers in charge of defense did not have sasswood, boiling oil, boiling water, and boulders...... All the soldiers, just the most basic defense, fought hard to kill the soldiers who climbed the ladder and resist the soldiers rushing up.
However, a few hundred soldiers were too numerous to withstand the siege of the city.
With the first Xiliang soldier to climb the city tower, followed by the second and third, one by one soldiers rushed up quickly and fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers on the city tower.
"Bang!"
As countless soldiers poured out of the tower, the gates were slammed open.
In an instant, a group of soldiers frantically rushed into Xinfeng City. Li Ru looked at Xinfeng City, which was easily knocked out, and his brows furrowed. He stretched out his hand, and a man in black quickly appeared next to Li Ru, Li Ru lowered his head and whispered a few words to the man in black, and the man in black disappeared into the night sky and ran towards the city.
When Fan Chou and Li Meng saw that the city gate had been captured, they said, "Let's go, prepare to enter the city." ”
Li Ru persuaded and said: "General Fan, General Li, there are still stubborn soldiers resisting on the city tower and in the city, the two sides are fighting, you two thousand gold bodies, the breakthrough of Chang'an is imminent, how can you risk your life, or wait until the stubborn soldiers on the city tower and the city are stubborn and then lead the troops into the city, what do you think?" ”
After hearing this, Fan Chou thought so, nodded and said, "Mr. Li's words are reasonable, let's wait." ”
At this time, the captain on the city tower sighed in his heart when he saw that the general trend had gone. Looking around, whether it was on the city tower or inside the city wall, it was already full of Xiliang troops, and the captain shook his head and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”
He threw away the war knife in his hand and knelt on the ground in surrender.
At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers around the lieutenant also knelt down and surrendered.
The siege was not long, but the hundreds of defending soldiers were almost dead. Because there were too many Xiliang soldiers pouring onto the city wall, hundreds of people were simply negligible in the eyes of thousands or even more soldiers, and they couldn't block the attacks of so many soldiers.
The captain surrendered, and several soldiers stationed at the city wall showed disdain.
At the beginning, the captain resolutely and decisively killed people and made the soldiers resist. However, the captain was the first to throw down his weapon and surrender, and he was really a good captain who did his duty!
Although these soldiers despised the lieutenant's approach, they also hurriedly threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
At this time, the captain who attacked the city wall saw this, and his heart was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Those who descend will not be killed, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
With the first surrender, there is the second, the third...... Then there was the sound of the captain surrendering, and the soldiers in the city gave up resistance one after another and chose to surrender directly. Anything can be discarded compared to the lives of the soldiers, and the soldiers threw down their swords with a clatter, knelt on the ground, and prayed for surrender, while trying not to kneel in the middle of the road to avoid being affected.
It didn't take long for Xinfeng City to be captured.
In fact, there are too many reasons for being able to capture Xinfeng City so easily.
There is no commander to command, no elite guards, no defensive equipment such as sasswood, boiling water, boiling oil, etc...... One thing after another superimposed, so that Xinfeng City could not hold on for a long time, and finally had to surrender. In particular, the captain in charge of defense first resolutely resisted, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately surrendered, causing the army to be defeated in an instant.
Outside the city, Fan Chou and Li Meng rode their horses and slowly walked forward.
The two of them looked excited, their eyes flashing with burning eyes, and they were both excited to get closer to Chang'an.
At this time, the man in black appeared beside Li Ru and whispered for a while. When Li Ru heard this, his face changed greatly, he kept thinking in his heart, looked at the dark night again, and immediately shouted: "General Fan, General Li, wait a minute!" One sentence made Fan Chou and Li Meng stop, and the two looked back at Li Ru with puzzled expressions on their faces.
This has already taken Xinfeng City, what is there to hesitate about?
After Li Ru walked up, Fan Chou asked, "Mr. Li, you stopped the two of us, is there anything wrong?" ”
Li Ru winked at Fan Chou and Li Meng, spoke in a low voice, and motioned for the two to cooperate with him. After the two nodded in response, Li Ru said loudly: "Two generals, there is chaos in the city, why don't you wait until the battlefield is cleared before entering the city?" ”
Fan Chou said loudly: "Okay, just listen to Mr. Li's words." ”
Li Meng also said: "Mr. Li is reasonable! ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, outside Xinfeng City, in a dense forest in the distance, several black shadows lurked in the dense forest, hiding with the tender green leaves and the dark night. The soldiers couldn't see the expressions of Li Ru and the others clearly, and they could only vaguely hear Li Ru and the others talking, and they looked at Li Ru and the others who had not entered the city, with anxious expressions on their faces.
