Chapter 684: Breaking Yueyang

The front and rear gates were closed, surrounded by high walls, and the two thousand wolf soldiers who had fallen into the urn city had become trapped beasts.

Arrows rained down on the city walls, and the soldiers of the Western Army attacked the soldiers who had fallen into the urn city.

Caught in an ambush, the ferocity of the wolf soldiers was also aroused, roaring and howling, and launching a fierce attack on the city wall along the horse road, even if the head was broken by the rolling wood and stones, he did not flinch.

It is undeniable that the native wolf soldiers living in the mountains and dense forests have a much higher physical quality than the ordinary thief soldiers.

And in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers, Du Yinxi even tried his best to arm them, shields, leather armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows, and the armor of the wolf soldiers was even higher than that of ordinary thieves.

When he looked at the wolf soldiers who were still roaring towards Ma Dao with several arrows in his body, Qian Wanli, the general of the thief army, was also secretly frightened.

Fortunately, he fell into the trap of Urn City, and if he fought head-on, Qian Qianli would not have the confidence to defeat these wolf soldiers at all.

The wolf soldiers used their shields and even the corpses of their fallen comrades to resist the fire of bows and arrows at the head of the city, and then divided into two roads and stormed the head of the city along two horse paths, knowing that only by killing the bandits at the head of the city would they have a chance of survival.

Relying on the condescending situation, the soldiers of the Western Army used rolling wood and stones, boiling water and hot oil, and sharp spears to resist the attack of the wolf soldiers from the bottom up, but they were still attacked to the head of the city several times. It can be seen that the wolf soldiers have a strong will to survive and a strong combat power!

However, no matter how ferocious the beast is, once it falls into the trap, it will only be hunted! Looking at the battle of the trapped beasts of the wolf soldiers, Yue Yang's guard Qian Wanli sneered.

"General, the Ming army outside the city did not attack the city, but went in the direction of the east city!" At this moment, one of his subordinates said.

Go to the East Side! Qian Wanli was shocked, could it be that the Ming army dared to attack the east gate when they saw that they were in an ambush?

There were not many troops in the city, in order to have enough manpower to ambush the Ming army, Qian Wanli transferred most of the troops in the city to the south city, and there were only two or three hundred guards in the east city and the other city gates. But.......

Qian Wanli sneered: "Don't pay attention to them, it's so easy to climb up to the top of the city in the dark!" Moreover, as long as General Bai Wenxuan begins to attack the Ming army camp, these Ming troops outside the city will collapse without a fight! ”

There are only 300 defenders at the east gate, but there is no problem in holding the city wall for a period of time, as long as they can annihilate the thousands of Ming troops in the urn city, they can go to support at any time, and then together with General Bai Wenxuan, who broke through the Ming army camp, all the Ming troops who attacked the city will be left!

However, although the thought was good, after a while, suddenly some of his soldiers fled from the east gate along the city wall in panic.

"General, the thieves have attacked the wall of the East Gate, and the East Gate is lost!" The fleeing soldiers shouted in panic, and Qian Wanli was stunned.

At the same time that He Gang arrived at the south gate with 3,000 wolf soldiers, Wang Shicai, the chief soldier, arrived at the east gate with 8,000 Ming troops.

Half of Wang Shicai's 8,000 people were Ming soldiers, and half were wolf soldiers from various villages near Chenzhou, many of whom were good at climbing mountains and cliffs.

Arriving near the gate of Dongcheng, with Wang Shicai's order, the wolf soldiers moved when they came, and hundreds of wolf soldiers stepped forward and unloaded large bundles of ropes from their shoulders, and the head of each rope was tightly tied to the flying claws made of four iron hooks.

I saw the wolf soldiers spin around a few times with the ropes tied to the flying claws, and then threw them towards the city. I saw that under the moonlight, hundreds of branches were thrown across the space of several zhang onto the city wall, and then the wolf soldier pulled the rope hard, and the flying claws were firmly buckled at the battlement.

Without waiting for orders, one hundred and ten wolf soldiers climbed the rope with their hands alternately and climbed towards the city, and their bodies were as flexible as apes.

On the eastern city wall, because the number of guards was only three hundred, it was naturally impossible to take full account of all the city walls, except for half of the soldiers who were left in the city gate tower to guard the gate, the other soldiers were in groups of twenty or thirty people, taking turns to patrol the city head.

Hundreds of flying claws landed on the city wall with a crisp clicking sound, which immediately woke up a group of patrolling thieves who had just walked by.

"What sound?" The leader of the patrol soldiers stopped, looked back suspiciously, but saw the moonlight shining on the city wall like water, but he could not see anything. However, he was still not at ease, so he asked one of his subordinates to go back and check.

The soldier carefully returned to the section of the wall where the sound had come from, and when he looked closely, he saw the claws hooking the battlements.

"The officers and soldiers are in town!" He suddenly screamed, and hurriedly used his hand to break the flying claw, but the flying claw was tightly buckled at the battlement, and there were more than 100 catties of living people falling below, where could he break it?

"it!!" The leader of the thieves turned around with his men and slashed his knife at the rope that connected the claws, and then heard a scream, followed by a loud thud of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Before the leader could climb the battlement of the city wall and look down, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from under the battlement next to him and fell into the wall, and the cold light flashed, and the first thief fell to the ground without saying a word.

The leader was frightened, and hurriedly danced the steel knife towards the black shadow, and heard a "dang chang", the steel knife was framed, and then a strong pain in his chest came, and he couldn't help but stumble back and fall into a rolling gourd. Then he saw more and more black shadows leap up the city, charging towards more than twenty of his men.

By the time He Gang Long Ao hurried from the south gate to the east gate with a thousand wolf soldiers, Wang Shicai had completely defeated the thieves guarding the gate and occupied the entire city gate.

"Mr. He, why did you get to the East Gate?" Wang Shicai asked He Gang in surprise.

"Don't mention it, that gentry Feng Yuan is a traitor of the thieves, intending to lead our army into an ambush, General Long's two thousand wolf soldiers fell into the urn city, and we have no way to take the south gate, so we came to the east city." He Gang sighed.

"No wonder it's as easy as I took the east gate, it turned out that most of the thieves were pinned down at the south gate by General Long's wolf soldiers." Wang Shicai said suddenly.

"I'm going to rescue my men!" Long Ao had no intention of talking, and asked directly.

"Of course, I want to rescue the general's subordinates, so let's do it, I will allocate another thousand soldiers from my subordinates and hand them over to General Long to lead you, and you will be responsible for attacking the south gate and exterminating the thief army!"

Wang Shicai said angrily, and then allocated a thousand soldiers to be commanded by Long Ao, who hurriedly led the troops along the city to the south gate.

He Gang did not follow Long Ao this time, but stood at the head of the East Gate, smiling as Wang Shicai dispatched troops to attack other city gates and occupy the Yuezhou Mansion and the arsenal granary.

"Two thousand wolf soldiers are encircled, even if Long Ao arrives in time, I'm afraid that less than thirty percent of them will be alive." After finishing his work, Wang Shicai turned his head and sighed at He Gang.

"That can't be helped, there must be soldiers to lure the enemy so that the general can successfully take Yueyang, although the Chenzhou Long family is the most powerful among the Tusi!" He Gang also sighed.
