Chapter 54: The Siege 3
The impact from outside the city gate was like an evil ghost slamming on the door, and between the 'bang' masterpieces, the entire Chen Ying seemed to be shaking. After a period of panic, the officials hurriedly blessed the planting wood Heng Yu to fix the city gate, and the chiseled doors on the city gate were all opened, and the strong crossbows were shot out one after another, only to hear the screams of the enemy soldiers outside the door, but the impact still did not stop.
"Report to Sima, the Qin people rushed to my middle door." On the north city floor, the last more than 1,000 Qin soldiers resisted stubbornly in the corner, and the county soldiers rushed several times and were repelled by the sharp soldiers holding beryllium, and the archers under the city shot arrows, and were blocked by their big shields, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
"Rush at my middle door?" Chen Bu's voice was already hoarse, and he was not surprised to hear that the Qin people rushed to the door, he said: "Command the city, if the Qin people break the door, they should quickly send the door to hang, and the Qin people are not allowed to enter the city." ”
The hanging gate is the jack gate, and the small town was equipped hundreds of years ago. Chen Yingzhongmen is more than three zhang wide, and the hanging door weighs more than 2,000 catties. Although this gate will also be destroyed by the enemy, it can always delay the enemy's entry into the city and buy time for the city to transfer troops. Chen Bu's order was not contrary to normal conditions, and the doorman who was full of sweat immediately retreated and went to the city to inform the county guard to activate the hanging gate in time.
At the same time, Chen Dang on the west city also gave such an order, but unlike Chen Bu, the north city wall had enough troops to counterattack the enemy, and he could only trap three towers and wait for reinforcements urgently.
"How could there be so many Wei troops!" The royal city in the east and the Shucheng in the west are the existing pattern of the Yingdu of the Chu State, and the county government, Sima Mansion and reinforcements are all in the east city. The second batch of reinforcements rushing to Beicheng had already fought with the Qin people for a while, and Chen Qi, who had reinforced Xicheng, hurried to Xicheng. After climbing the city tower, he saw the dense Wei army on the city wall with the help of the firelight, and he had to gasp.
"Yes!" Chen Dang looked at the 1,500 reinforcements brought by Chen Beggar, and gasped, he said disappointedly: "Zuo Sima, are the 15,000 horses in the city already exhausted?" ”
The 1,500 reinforcements, all of whom were county officials, were county officials, and county officials could deal with the common people, but they couldn't fight at all. Although the soldiers they brought were all in armor, they were not here to kill, and the halberds in their hands were not stable at all.
"No, no, no." When Chen Qi arrived in Xicheng, he realized that the situation was diametrically opposed to his own conjecture, and the attack of the Wei army was not inferior to that of the Qin army. At this time, the county guards stationed in the city tower were being beaten and retreated step by step by the Wei soldiers. "There are still more than 3,000 sanitation palace armors in the royal city."
"Please ask Zuo Sima to ask for reinforcements quickly, otherwise, Xicheng will be lost!" Chen Dare said loudly,
"You wait to go to Sima Mansion as soon as possible, Xicheng City is about to be broken, please send 3,000 reinforcements to Sima quickly." Chen Qi hurriedly rushed to the county Sima Mansion in the east of the city, but he didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive.
"Report the army rate, Wei people, Wei people......" The county guards are dying on top of the Wei army at both ends of the city tower, sealing the Wei army on the city wall, as soon as someone said how the Wei people were, Chen Dang jumped up, he drew his sword and said: "The Wei people have come in?" ”
"The Wei people want to go down to the city." The visitor wailed, and he pointed behind him, almost crying.
At this moment, the ladders outside the city have been dismantled and sent to the city, and the Wei army is putting these ladders down the inner city in order to enter the city along the ladder. There were twenty people every fifty paces in the inner city to assist in transporting the stones and rolling wood, but there were not enough county guards in the city, and most of these were transferred to the city by Chen Dang. In fact, these people are just some powerful women, and they have no combat effectiveness, even if they are not transferred, they can't stop the elite armor of the Wei army.
"Please Zuo Sima to send people to the city, don't let the Wei people go down to the city." With no soldiers to send, Chen Kang could only let Chen beggars rob and kill the Wei people.
Chen Qi also knew that he must not let the Wei people go down the city easily, otherwise they would enter the city and the whole city would be in chaos. The chaos at night is the most terrifying, in case even the county officials in the city think that the city is broken, then Chen Ying is really going to be lost.
"Get down to the city, get down to the city!" The reinforcements who were still panting for breath were taken down by Chen Beggar, and the soldiers were fine, and some county officials ran back and forth in the city, but they really couldn't run. The soldiers who were too long to run, and the soldiers who followed them naturally did not dare to run fast, and the city wall of more than 2,000 steps, the team of 1,500 people was getting longer and longer, and the first place could not care about each other at all.
"The Wei people have gone down to the city! The Wei people have gone down to the city! When the ladder reached the city, the Lifu Dingnu, who was carrying the stones and rolling logs under the city, did not dare to take the blades that were placed aside, but scattered in a hurry, and each fled for his life.
"Where are the Wei people? Where are the Wei people? Chen beggar shouted loudly, and those running Lifu had to point back.
"Kill!" The city was dim, and Chen Beggar, who was running at the front, could only see some figures, and when the halberd in the hand of the armorer beside him stabbed over, there were a few women's screams, this is not Wei people, this is Ding women.
"Where are the Wei people? Where are the Wei people? Chen Qi hurriedly stopped left and right, and asked loudly again.
"Your eldest father Wei He is here!" A tall figure sighed, and a cool breeze followed. Before Chen Qi could react, his head was cut off by him.
"Kill!" More than 100 Wei soldiers have gone down the ladder to the city, they are here to seize the door, and the leader is Wei He, who took the lead in grabbing Chu goods with Xiangbang stewards at the dock of Daliang City. "Kill them all!" Wei He opened his mouth and shouted.
Wei He was holding the long beryllium and swept again, and the county officials and soldiers who didn't have time to raise troops were all injured by the long beryllium, and before they could retreat and fight in formation, the rest of the Wei soldiers rushed up. These people took a short ge, and the copper Ge waved continuously, and the county guards retreated; Wei pawn rushed again, this time before they could fight, the leading county official abandoned the army and fled.
"Kill!" The people in front took the lead in running, and the people behind who had not been in battle followed him, and in the darkness, he didn't know how many Wei soldiers had killed.
"Report the army rate! The Wei people entered the city, and our army was defeated! "It's dark under the city, but you can still see some dark shadows on the towers.
"Huh!?" Chen dared to be shocked, he grabbed the county guard who reported the news and shouted, "Really?!" ”
"Yes, yes." The county guard was also stunned, he saw two groups of figures in front of him and one behind him, and he heard the shouts of the county guard when he fled for his life.
"Someone! Come with me down to the city and kill the Wei people. Chen Dang couldn't take care of the city tower anymore, he shouted and hurried down the city tower, and the soldiers on the left and right, and some injured county guards also ran down with him.
"Chen dares to be here, he must not retreat! Chen dares to be here, and must not retreat! Chen Dang shouted loudly as soon as he stepped out of the city tower, leading the last dozens of county soldiers to rush in the direction where the county officials had fled.
"Call with me, Chen Dare is here to ......" After swinging his sword and killing several defeated soldiers, Chen Dang asked the county guards next to him to shout with him.
"Chen dares to be here, he must not retreat!" The county magistrate immediately shouted loudly with him.
"Sick too! Add to the disease! "The city is about to be broken, and Chen dares to slash and kill even more ruthlessly. Those county officials and pawns who wanted to run were finally stopped by their group, and then followed them, quickly moving back to kill.
"Wei He is here, where are the Chu people? Wei He is here, where are the Chu people......" The shouts of the Chu guards were heard not far away, and Wei He, who was chasing and killing, also shouted loudly. Without waiting for his orders, the Wei pawn beside him also shouted wildly: "Wei He is here, where are the Chu people?!" Wei He is here, where are the Chu people? ……”
In the dark, Wei Chu's two pawns were shouting wildly, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, just waiting for the two sides to get closer to within fifty steps, "Kill——! The two sides erupted into a beastly scream, and then slammed into each other.
The sound of spear fighting, halberd hitting shield, long beryllium breaking through the air, and the screams of soldiers ......, there is no way to distinguish between friend and foe in the dark, and can only regard the person in front of him as an enemy pawn.
"Ten steps away from me! Ten steps away from me! Wei He shouted in the dark, he liked to fight with the long beryllium, every half a circle, several enemy pawns were hacked to death by the long beryllium, the county pawn could not stop, and the slightly closer Wei pawn was also unstoppable.
"Fence up, fence on." Chen Dang did not rush to the front line like Chen Beggar, Wei He, and he retreated as soon as the two sides exchanged troops. It's not because he's afraid of death, it's for better command. At this time, standing behind the array, he had already found that the number of Wei soldiers was very small, only one or two hundred, and he immediately dispatched the county guards to surround them, and once they were encircled, they could strangle all the Wei soldiers.
"Kill!" Wei He, who was gradually at a disadvantage, felt bad while picking on beryllium, and only hoped that his comrades who entered the city later would come to help.
"Military rate, military rate......" The county guard on Chen Dang's side suddenly pointed to the side, and not far away fireworks burst into the sky, crying and shouting, and in the light, some black shadows could be seen standing on the roof and throwing torches under the house, which was arson.
"That's ......" Chen Dang turned his head and was startled, but he died after saying two words—by the light of the fire, the feather arrow shot by Wei Pawn hit him right in the face, and he seemed to have been stripped of all his skeletons, and his whole body fell weakly.
"Chen dares to die! Chen dares to die! Several Wei pawns pointed to the fallen Chen and shouted excitedly.
"Chen dares to die! Chen Dare died——! Even Wei He, who was in the lead, screamed wildly, and he was already exhausted, and he once again hurriedly slashed Chang Beryllium, killing the Chu soldiers who were half surrounding him and retreating again and again.
"Kill!" Dozens of Wei soldiers followed him closely, just as they had grabbed goods on the dock that day, and these people rushed to the enemy regardless of life and death. The county officials were shocked when they heard that Chen Dang had died, and now the Wei people were not afraid of the spear and were not afraid of life and death.
"The Chu people have fled! The Chu people fled! Wei Shou shouted while chasing, at this time the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the cries of the villagers inside were getting more and more urgent, but the door was locked, and the people inside couldn't run out if they wanted to.
"The city is broken! The city is broken! "The fire, the Wei pawns, and the rout...... by the light of the fire, the county guards on the city tower saw everything under the city, and they who barely resisted the Wei pawns finally couldn't stand it anymore, and the people's hearts were scattered, and thousands of Wei pawns at the head of the city flooded them like a tide.
"County Prince, County Prince......" Outside the county Yin Mansion, Chen Bi rushed in as if he was crazy, and he was anxious with tears and snot on his face, and shouted before he saw Chen Jian: "The city is broken!" The city is broken! The county prince, the county magistrate, the city is broken......"
