Chapter 248: The Great Rout

(Book friends add the group to the group ~ the group number is turned up, and the group number is related to the work)

After all, occupying an absolute numerical advantage, the Xia army at the north gate of the city quickly regained the initiative of the entire city gate, and none of the Liao soldiers who Meng'an Erjin and himself and the five hundred Liao soldiers brought with him retreated or fled, all of them fought to the death with the Xia army to the last moment.

"General, the north city gate has been fully recaptured, and we have suffered more than 1,700 casualties, and all of them have been rescued and sent back to the military camp in the city."

General Wang held the sword at his waist, stood on the city wall and looked at the quiet night in the distance, listening to the report of the sergeant behind him, he couldn't help but jump his eyes a little painfully,

"Okay, I see, tell everyone to be on guard! Looks like our good days are coming to an end. ”

However, the sergeant behind him didn't mean to finish speaking, after all, Xiao Erjin still left this General Wang a "surprise".

"Will ...... General, our city gates ......"

General Wang turned back and asked, "City gates?" What happened to the city gates? ”

"The Liao people have destroyed all the city gates before, and now I can only take my brothers to temporarily block the city gate hole with a rejection horse."

After General Wang listened, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and his left eyelid began to jump up suddenly as if he had a premonition.

He felt that this night attack by the Liao people might be extraordinary, and the action of this small group of men and horses demolishing the city gate seemed to be a clear signal, or rather...... Resolution!

Lanzhou! Must go!

"Quick, give orders, all of you, and stuff all the carriages and seats and benches around these gates into the holes of the city gates for me, even if they are blocked, they will be blocked for me!"

The sergeant's face changed when he saw General Wang, so he didn't know that the situation was urgent?

"Yes!"

Hurriedly turned around and walked away.

Just as the sergeant was about to go down to the city to carry out General Wang's order, and had just taken two steps,

"Boom~"

He felt a rumbling vibration under his feet for no reason,

Of course, when he turned his head to look at General Wang, it seemed that General Wang also felt the shock just now, and he was also looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's that?"

"What's the sound?"

The two of them looked at each other, staring at me with big eyes, I looked at you, and they held their breath in unison, and began to listen quietly to the noise that seemed to come from outside the sky.

But

Soon they didn't have to listen so hard, when General Wang subconsciously turned his head and looked out into the darkness outside the north city, he could see clearly that under the cover of the night, the mighty cavalry lined up in a sharp triangular formation, and were rushing towards the north gate of Lanzhou City!

Quietly, he didn't even have a torch, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, when he raised his head high and showed his fangs, Xia Jun, as the prey, was just alert!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Again, the repeated sound of the trumpet, only this time it came from General Wang's own voice,

"Boom!"

Without saying a word, he drew his sword and pointed to the city: "Quick! Tell everyone, leave the city gate open, line up, meet the enemy! Welcome ......"

"Poof!"

Perhaps it was too obvious that General Wang was wielding a bright sword on the city wall, and the sergeant in front of him saw that General Wang's face that was still panicked just now suddenly froze, and when he looked closely, he saw that General Wang's throat showed a small arrow, and the arrow was connected with the long arrow tail at the back of his neck, taking away the blood on General Wang's face little by little.

"General! Checkmate! ”

No matter how the sergeant shook and screamed, he couldn't call back General Wang, who was slowly paralyzed and fell to the ground.

Soon, of course

The ensuing rain of arrows did not make General Wang, who had taken the first step, too lonely, and the raindrops generally hit the Xia army who had just experienced a battle and had not had time to catch his breath, and all the sergeants on the city wall were almost defenseless, including the soldiers who had not had time to go down to give orders, and they were all crucified on the spot one by one.

This is still the case on the city wall with a good view, not to mention the Xia army under the city, when they noticed the rumbling sound of horses' hooves ringing in their ears, they could already clearly see the steel knife in the hand of the Khitan knight who jumped out of the darkness......

On the Liao side,

Generalissimo Han Guangde's Chinese army consisted of a total of 24,000 Liao army iron cavalry, with people shutting their mouths and horses wrapped in hooves, and silently following the military order at midnight like a ghost, the soldiers were divided into four routes, and began to besiege the eastern, western, southern, and northern gates of Lanzhou City!

Whoever is able to step into the city first, he will be ordered not to fight, and then go to the other gates to attack.

Needless to say, the northern, eastern, and western gates will be killed, and the rest of the people will be scattered sand, where can they still block the offensive of the Liao army under the attack from both sides?

Suddenly, there were flames in the city, and all the three gates of Lanzhou City had fallen.

The only fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Zhao Lingfeng rushed to the south gate with his men and horses tonight, first he didn't let the assassination of the man in black succeed, and then the Liao army who rushed over to prepare to break the door from the inside was planted in the hands of the firearms battalion sent by Jiang Shang to support.

Jiang Shang, who has been in battle for a long time, understands in his heart that the Liao's plan is to besiege the four gates, and they want to wipe out the small 100,000 Daxia elites in Lanzhou City, so after getting the news that the south gate was besieged, he sent all the left and right guards of Chengdu over.

For a time, in order to defend the only way out, more than 40,000 people, under the leadership of Zhao Lingfeng, fought with the Liao people without giving an inch, and they did not lose their hands for the time being.

But

Han Guangde not only made this preparation for Lanzhou City, but also more than 50,000 rear troops who were galloping behind, as well as Guo Muer's 3,000 dragon cavalry.

If these horses participated in the siege of Lanzhou, it would be difficult for the Xia army to resist them anymore.

Jiang Shang also knew in his heart that at this time, there was no need to hold on to Lanzhou City, instead of explaining these elites here, it was better to retreat south to plan for the future.

Thinking of this, he ordered the soldiers to go to Liao Ying first, so that the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi could converge with them, and the small 100,000 horses would attack the south gate together, and together with Zhao Lingfeng at the city gate, they would attack the Liao soldiers in the city with heavy troops, and fight for a chance from the south gate, otherwise the nearly 25,000 Liao soldiers in the city, there would be no Xia army that could compete independently.

Another person was sent to inform Meng Qi quickly, and the family members who escorted the Earl's Court also gathered here and went out of the south gate.

As soon as these two commanders took the order and left, Jiang Shang saw a young general with a white horse and silver armor coming from a distance, and took a closer look, isn't this the Ah Yi next to An Yi? hurriedly greeted him, and asked loudly, "The little general is from Han Lin?" Is Uncle back? ”

Jiang Shang saw that he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries, and when the horse ran closer, the eye-catching blood marks on the silver armor were very eye-catching, and when he turned over and dismounted again, he lost strength under his feet, and he didn't stand firm and sat on the ground.

"Oops~Oops~"

Gao Ciyi covered her lower waist and bared her teeth, snorting coldly, while opening her eyes and looking up at the burly general in front of her, she said, "General...... The general is but, but Jiang Shang? ”

Jiang Shang hurriedly helped him up from the ground, nodded and said, "That's right, I am Jiang Shang." ”

Gao Ciyi didn't know if it was painful or tired, so she said intermittently: "Liao...... Liaoren ...... The peace talks are fake, uncle...... Uncle asked me to report the change! There is a change in the northwest! Peace talks break down! Be on your guard...... Oops...... It hurts me to death. ”

If he had come to tell Jiang Shang two hours earlier, Jiang Shang might have a look of surprise, and now that the Liao people have come in, what else should he be wary of? Peace talks will definitely not happen!

"Where's Uncle? What about Uncle now? ”

Jiang Shang is still more concerned about where An Yi is now, because he can take the people of the Earl's Court to retreat south with the 100,000 army, but if Lanzhou City is completely lost, An Yi may not be able to get by even with his wings.

Gao Ciyi shook her head, "Only I came back, and my uncle asked me to report first, saying that he would get out later, but presumably my uncle didn't know that something had happened in Lanzhou!" ”

"This sucks!"

Jiang Shang slapped his hands, and a certain head wrinkled into a "eight", and after thinking for a moment in his heart, he turned around and copied his bright silver spear, then turned over and got on his horse, waved to the soldiers behind him, and ordered: "Follow me, bring a hundred and ten brothers, let's kill from the east gate, and make a detour to the north to meet the uncle!" ”

"Yes!"

After the order, he turned to look at Gao Ciyi and said: "Little general, I know that you are good at martial arts, there is something I have to let you run errands, although Meng Qi's three thousand soldiers and horses are in the Earl's Palace, but I am still not at ease in this chaos, let's go separately, you help me go to the Earl's Palace, and I will definitely escort the uncle's family here safely, and we will meet here!" ”

Gao Ciyi already had Xin'er in his heart, but there was no way, he had to send the military order to report the change first, so when he heard that the people in the earl's palace hadn't come over yet, how could he still care about the pain on his body, gritted his teeth and pulled the reins of the horse, and turned on the horse's back again, nodding heavily at Jiang Shang with the pain, "Don't worry, general, I'll go over!" ”

"Good! Then let's go back quickly! Drive! ”

Earl's Court

The Earl's Mansion is now a mess inside and out, and the armor soldiers outside the mansion have been entangled with the small group of soldiers and horses of the Liao, and the place under the protection of this regiment has made the Liao people discover the unusual things about this mansion, and there is a posture of more and more surrounding.

The maids in the house have basically fled for their lives, leaving Liu Siyi, An Xin and a maid Ning'er in the inner house.

There was also unrest in this courtyard, Meng Qi took two personal soldiers, holding the sword tightly in his hand, even though the blood-stained robes and corpses were intertwined, the three black-clothed people in front of him still had no intention of giving up.

But judging from the number of corpses on the ground, I'm afraid that Meng Qi's side is not dominant.

"Kill!"

"Boom! Burst! ”

The movements of the black-clothed man's hands were indeed fast, and the pro-soldier standing on Meng Qi's left didn't have time to react, he was slashed open in the lower abdomen, even with a very unbelievable expression, he couldn't stop the internal organs from flowing out with the breath of life, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Inside the crack in the door of the inner house, even though An Xin was frightened by the scene outside, she still held on to the fear in her heart, and a pair of slender hands tightly grasped the Qingfeng sword of her brother in her hand, in case someone rushed into the inner house, to give herself the most powerful blow,

Of course, if Liu Siyi is not so sick and heavy, she will be enough for these black-clothed people outside.

But now there is no way, Liu Siyi is almost in a semi-comatose state, and only Ning Er has been taking care of it beside him.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was another staggering of steel knives in the courtyard, and now Meng Qi was left alone, and on the other side was just an extra scar on the arm of a man in black on the left.

Meng Qi also killed two pairs of blood-red eyes, the green tendons on the head never seemed to have calmed down, after several fights, his hands were already a little trembling, and he also held the long sword in his hand, pulled the robe and wiped the blood on his face, and roared fiercely: "Come on!" If you have the ability, step on the corpse of Lao Tzu! ”

Although the black-clothed man on the opposite side couldn't see his expression, he could still see clearly with his bulging chest like a bellows rising and undulating, and he was almost at the end of the crossbow.

Not to mention these men in black, even An Xin in the crack of the door felt that Meng Qi might not be able to hold on.

She almost clutched the hilt of her brother's sword in the palm of her hand, and a pair of slightly trembling eyes on her delicate little face stared closely at the door, and she didn't know where this girl, who even trembled with fear at the tip of her eyelashes, had such courage at that time, gritted her silver teeth and pushed open the door of the inner house, and rushed out towards the man in black,

"Yikes!!"

I have to say that this moment was really unexpected by the man in black, the attention of the three of them was on Meng Qi, who was ready to fight to the death, and he could think that a girl could rush out from behind,

"Poof!"

Accurate head, yes, strength, slightly worse!

"Ahh

Before the black-clothed man who was closest to him had time to turn around, he was stabbed on the back waist by An Xin holding the Qingfeng sword.

But the sword didn't go deep, and the man in black grabbed the blade.

In this case, An Xin's strength didn't want to stab forward, and after the man in black screamed miserably, he took advantage of the situation and waved the scimitar in his other hand and slashed at An Xin's head!

An Xin looked at the bright blade on his head, and there was nothing left of the courage that he had just mustered up, and after taking two steps backwards like a sifting of chaff under his feet, he knelt on the ground with his legs weak, as if he could only wait for the scythe of death.......

"Sister Xin'er!"
