The battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the rebels all over the mountains rushed to Chizhou City, which made Wang Yan's blood boil.

Zuo Mengeng once again sent 50,000 horses to attack the city, but Wang Yan seemed to think that if the rebels wanted to break through Chizhou, it was obviously impossible to rely on such a method of refueling warfare.

The artillery is still bombarding, and many city walls have been smashed into a big gap, but everything is still within the tolerance of the defenders of Chizhou.

With the addition of the new army, the rebels once again attached themselves to the city, making the battle on the city even more fierce, and Huang Degong had to transfer troops from other city walls to support and re-stabilize the city defense.

The city of Chizhou is like a solid boulder on the coast, no matter how the rebels attack, it will always stand firm and impregnable.

Nearly an hour after the start of the war, the left army had already left nearly 10,000 corpses,

The frontal assault caused heavy losses to the left army, and Zuo Mengeng on the hill had to change his strategy.

At this time, Wang Yan only saw the flag waving on the hill and the drums sounding, and the rebel army's front army was divided into two teams, each with 25,000 men, carrying ladders and crashing cars, and pushed forward, not to attack the city, but to bypass the west gate and attack the south and east gates of Chizhou.

The rebel warships cruising in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River also shelled the northern city wall of Chizhou at this time, and a search and search ship shuttled across the river, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses were hidden.

The frontal assault failed, and the rebels relied on the advantage of their strength to besiege on all sides, and the strength of each side could not be underestimated, which greatly increased the pressure on the city.

The development of the war made it impossible for Huang Degong to draw troops and horses from other city gates, and the defenders of Xicheng, who had calmly responded to the rebel attacks, couldn't help but slowly fall into a bitter battle.

Two hours into the battle, the casualties of the left army were close to 20,000, and the defenders were also defeated by more than 10,000 people, and the two sides fell into a state of anxiety.

Wang Yan looked at the entire battlefield, he knew that by this time, the soldiers on both sides were already very tired, and the rest was all left to rely on, who had the stronger will.

Compared with the Ming army defending the city, Wang Yan believed that the rebel army, which had suffered huge casualties, would inevitably collapse first and be defeated.

Wang Yan thought that the battle situation would not change in any way, but a loud sound suddenly came.

"Boom~"

The sound was earth-shattering, as if the sky had fallen.

When Wang Yan heard this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but look for prestige with some horror, only to see a section of the city wall in the north, which was suddenly covered by dust, but it was the rebels' red-clothed cannon, which collapsed a section of the city wall nearly six zhang wide.

The collapsed city wall instantly crushed a large number of rebels and the Ming army defending the city, and the sound of screaming and wailing resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the originally solid city defense instantly leaked a fatal flaw.

Seeing this, Huang Degong, who was on the city tower, suddenly turned pale.

"Kill!"

"The city is broken! Kill me! ”

The entire battlefield was stunned by the huge sound, but when everyone reacted, they immediately ushered in the huge cheers of the siege rebels, and the rebels of the brigade followed the general, their eyes blood-red and rushed to the gap.

The morale of the rebels, which had been slowly declining due to the passage of time and huge casualties, recovered in an instant, cheering and shouting towards the Ming army.

Seeing this, I only smelled "poof! With a sound, Huang Degong pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted urgently: "Guard the battalion, go down to the city with Benhou, plug the gap, and beat the traitors out." ”

Huang Degong knew that if the rebels were allowed to enter the city, the defenders would collapse, so he immediately made a decision, personally went into battle, led a thousand of his own soldiers, went down the city tower, and went straight to the gap.

"Jingle Bell!" A burst of weapons clashed sound, and Huang Degong led the guards and collided with the surging rebels.

Flesh and blood splattered, and the two armies fought together in a tight gap six zhang wide, and in such a narrow area, thousands of men and horses were squeezed out on both sides, and almost every knife and shot could take a life.

Wang Yan watched the city wall being collapsed and the rebels rushing to the gap, and his heart was suddenly anxious, and Wang Wei and others on the side were also the same, "It's over, the city is going to be broken, let's kill the general!" ”

Wang Yan also knew that if the gap could not be blocked, Chizhou would be broken, but he knew that even if he rushed out with the Zhongyi battalion at this time, it would not affect the battle situation, he squinted at the gap, saw a group of Ming troops and rebels colliding together, gritted his teeth and said: "Wait, now is not the best time to attack." ”

When Wang Wei and the others heard this, they had to look at the battlefield anxiously, hoping that the Ming army could block the rebels in the gap.

On the hill, Zuo Mengeng saw the collapse of the city wall, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and the depression that the siege on all sides still could not break the city was swept away at this moment, he took out a clairvoyant mirror, looked at the gap, and saw countless left troops killing the gap, but it was blocked by an elite Ming army.

"Command the rear army, rush to the commander and break the city in one fell swoop!" Attacking for days, it is not easy to get the current opportunity, if the army retreats, the gap will inevitably be repaired by the defenders, Zuo Mengeng must not miss the opportunity, to press the last troops, all the pressure. "After breaking the city, ten days of arson!"

The beat of the drum commanded the rebels' 30,000 troops, rushing out of the embankment like a flood and rushing towards the breach.

Huang Degong, under the escort of his personal guards, fought a bloody battle with the rebels, and not long after stabilizing the formation, a new rebel army rushed his subordinates to pieces.

The left army invested in the West Gate reached 130,000 people, and as the 30,000 rear-educated rear army rushed into the battlefield, the Ming army, which had been fighting fiercely for nearly two hours, was suddenly killed and retreated.

"Master Hou! It's too dangerous here, so let's retreat with the general! Huang Degong was old and strong, wielding a knife to fight, but after all, he was old, he couldn't compete with the soldiers, and he was forced to be in danger from time to time.

"This battle is a matter of life and death, if I lose, I have no shame to see Your Majesty again! Retreat now is death, and there is a glimmer of life in war! Huang Degong broke free from his own soldiers, stuck his war knife on the ground, his hair flew high, and shouted: "Ben Hou is standing here, not going anywhere!" After you wait, if the sergeant retreats from this line, I will kill him first, and then fight the left thief to the death. ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The soldiers looked at their own marquis, fighting on the front line to supervise the battle, the general did not hesitate to die, how dare the soldier not to die, and immediately roared and killed the rebels.

The precarious defense, barely held up by the desperate battle of many defenders, but as the rebels' new forces continue to pour into the gap, only God knows how long it can hold out.

Huang Degong stood behind the army, looking at the defenders who were constantly falling, looking at the rebels advancing little by little, he couldn't help but feel anxious, but he didn't have the strength in his hands that could be drawn, "Is it really going to be defeated by Zuo Mengeng and his son, I am unwilling!" ”

"Kill! Come on! ”

Just when Huang Degong was anxious, Wang Yan waited for the opportunity he had been trying to find.

At this time, the rebels pressed on the whole line, and the Chinese army only had four or five hundred foot soldiers and more than a thousand cavalry left, which was the best time to attack the Yellow Dragon.

Neither Zuo Mengeng nor Huang Degong expected that behind the hill a few miles away in Chizhou, there would be an elite army of more than 2,000 people.

There are no mountains outside Chizhou City, and there are not many soldiers and horses hidden, and it is precisely because of this that Zuo Mengeng is unprepared.

If he had 10,000 people in the army, he would naturally not be afraid of a small group of soldiers and horses sneaking attack, but now that he has pressed all the main forces to Chizhou, and there are only more than 1,000 people left around him, it will be completely different.

When Huang Degong heard the horse's hooves outside the city, he saw a cavalry of more than 1,000 people suddenly slaughtering from behind a hill in the south of Chizhou, followed by the same more than 1,000 people who were marching towards Zuo Menggeng's handsome banner.

Looking at the soldiers running in the fierce wind and the camp flag fluttering in the wind, Huang Degong's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy. "Camp of Loyalty! General Wude King! This heavenly soldier will help me break the left thief! ”

Wang Yan galloped with a thousand cavalry, quickly crossed the artillery array of the left army, overturned hundreds of artillery troops, and rushed to the hill half a mile away without the slightest stop.

Zuo Mengeng was still immersed in the joy of an imminent victory one moment ago, and the next moment he saw an army rushing towards him, and the expression on his face suddenly distorted.

Watching the cavalry cross the artillery array like a whirlwind, and looking at the "General Dewu King" written on the banner, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but be furious in his heart, where did a team of men and horses come from at this time, so that he fell short!

In the face of the cavalry that came to kill, Zuo Mengeng had a calculation in his heart, the left army besieging the city had achieved an absolute advantage, and the army was a group of battles, and the men and horses were dispatched to help, which not only lost the advantage, but also could cause chaos in the left army.

In the face of the loyal battalion that came to the killing, the five hundred foot soldiers around Zuo Mengeng hurriedly formed a formation to surround the commander and many generals of the Left Army in the middle, but such a formation fell in Zuo Menggeng's eyes, but no matter how thin he looked, he couldn't give him much sense of security.

As Wang Yan's cavalry approached, the cavalry of the left army on the small slope brandished their swords and rushed down from a high place to meet Wang Yan.

The cavalry of the left army took advantage of the geographical advantage and rushed down with a high speed, which was extremely fast, but Wang Yan was not ready to hedge with the cavalry of the left army.

They first threw a rain of arrows, knocking over nearly 100 people on the other side, and then at the moment when the two armies were about to collide, Wang Yan ordered loudly: "Disperse, go around!" ”

Zuo Mengeng nervously watched the duel between the two teams of cavalry, but he didn't expect Wang Yan's cavalry to suddenly divide into two teams, one team followed Wang Yan, and the other team followed Li Taizhen, directly avoiding the edge of the left cavalry.

At this time, it was too late for the cavalry of the left army to turn again, so they had to pass through the middle of the two teams of cavalry, but what they didn't expect was that when they rushed over, a row of birds came to the front, and suddenly **** over a hundred horses.

It turned out that Wang Yan's cavalry, Wang Wei with a thousand infantry brothers, had already rushed over, facing the left cavalry rushing from between the two teams of cavalry of the Zhongyi battalion, the infantry brothers immediately fired a volley of guns.
