Chapter 333: Failure and Failure
In almost a moment, Liu Jianzhi and his men were killed. Seeing this scene, the soldiers and villagers in the city were dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening, and then there was chaos.
In order to successfully carry out the plan to lure the enemy, in order that the news will not be leaked. Ruan Dacheng and Liu Zeqing did a very strict job of secrecy, and only a few people in the original defenders of the city knew about Zhang Guerrilla Liu Jian.
Seeing that the city gate was opened below, many people in the city thought that the general had ordered to surrender, and now there was a conflict, and Liu Jiangzong was suddenly killed. So what do we do? A lot of people are at a loss.
Of course, Chen Jianghe didn't want to ignore these people's opinions, and led more than 100 of his subordinates to kill the archers standing against the female wall facing the city, these archers were all fallen from Liu Zeqing's army, and shooting condescendingly would bring great damage to the army entering the city!
Seeing Chen Jianghe and other fierce gods coming, some of the guards on the city wall tried to resist, and after being stabbed down several times in a row, others fled one after another. Most of Chen Jianghe's Jinyi guards are elites selected from the army and are proficient in spearmanship, in fact, these fish belly defenders can compare. Especially Chen Jianghe and Xu Qingtian, who took the lead, the two spears were like dragons going to sea, flying up and down to block the invincible, and soon rushed to the vicinity of the archers.
Liu Zeqing's five hundred archers were looking intently at the enemy troops entering the city below, the feather arrows had already reached the string, and suddenly there was a big chaos behind them, more than 100 village soldiers were killed, these archers hurriedly turned around to counterattack, but the weapons in their hands were bows and arrows, and the soldiers with swords and guns in close combat were not short and long? In just a split second, dozens of archers were stabbed and cut down, and the other archers were in disarray.
"Kill!" Chen Jianghe roared sharply, and the spear pierced into the throat of a panicked archer, and before the blades of the spear could be fully penetrated, he quickly pulled out, took two steps closer, and stabbed towards the next archer, until his spear pierced into the chest of the second archer, and the first archer staggered and fell.
Archers are armies that attack from a distance, and their melee abilities are scum, some archers still have a short knife hanging from their waists, and more people's weapons are bows and arrows, after all, a poor army like Liu Zeqing, where is it willing to equip archers with more weapons?
In the face of the enemy army killed from behind, these archers could no longer care about the Pingnan army that had plotted into the city, and they could not resist, so they could only throw away the bows and arrows in their hands and flee in a hurry.
Ruan Dacheng and Liu Zeqing both went down to the city, and they wanted to mobilize troops to encircle and annihilate the Pingnan army that entered the city, and the top general of the Qilin Gate was Zhang Guerrilla. He was taking his cronies to set up a defense on the side of the horse road to prevent the Pingnan army below from jumping over the wall and killing the city wall along the horse road for a while. This is an important part of the plan to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
As long as he waited for most of the enemy to rush into the city, he would order the city gate to be closed, and a large amount of dry wood and thatch had been prepared on the city, all of which were poured with fire oil, and then he only had to throw it down and ignite it, and the burning flame was enough to block the enemy's retreat. Then he led the army in the city to block the horse road to prevent the Pingnan army from killing from below, and the rest of the siege task was taken care of by Liu Zeqing's troops.
With more than 1,000 soldiers under his command and more than 2,000 village soldiers to assist, it should not be difficult to defend a horse road, and Zhang Guerrilla was very confident.
However, less than half of the Pingnan army entered the city, and there was a sudden chaos in the city, and Zhang Guerrilla looked back in shock, and saw a group of people dressed as village soldiers who entered the ranks of archers like fierce gods.
What the fuck is going on? Zhang Guerrilla was stunned for a moment.
"Kill me those rebellious villagers!" After reacting, he quickly ordered. If these people are allowed to make trouble, the plan to trap and kill the Pingnan Army will be in vain!
"Yes, General!" The leader of his subordinate family Ding promised Zhang Jin, the general manager, and led more than 200 family guards to kill Chen Jianghe and others.
However, the city wall was full of panicked soldiers and villagers, which greatly hindered his forward speed, and seeing that the archers were killed and howled, Zhang Jin gritted his teeth and slashed at the villagers who were blocking the road in front of him.
"Ahh The screams continued one after another, and the entire city wall was already in chaos, and many villagers who didn't know what was going on saw the cruel fighting happening in front of them, and watched the heads rolling down, and suddenly their faces were colorless, and they cried and screamed.
......
"What's going on?" As soon as the whole battalion entered the city, they heard chaos on the city wall, and Chen Ping, the commander of the teaching battalion, looked back in surprise and saw chaos on the city wall, as if the defenders were killing each other.
"General, it seems that something has changed, should we change our plan, occupy the city gate first, and give Hou Ye and them the way into the city!" Li Chengdong suggested to Chen Ping that this important general under Gao Jie was now just a commander of the training battalion.
"However, the task given by the Hou Ye is to open the way for the army, and the follow-up army will be responsible for accepting the surrender of the defenders." Chen Ping hesitated.
"That's based on the fact that the defenders have surrendered, but now it's clear that something has happened to the defenders. If we don't take the tower and let the defenders attack from above, the follow-up army will be in danger, and we will most likely be cut off in the city. ”
After more than ten years of fighting with Gao Jie's march, Li Chengdong has a lot of experience, which is not comparable to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping thought about it carefully and felt that what Li Chengdong said was very reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
As a result, the training battalion stopped its march into the city, and instead organized a defensive line on the spot, and divided into groups of men and horses to kill along the road to the city wall.
Gao Jiejun's generals Li Chengdong and Guo Hu, each with a team of men and horses, climbed up the horse road, but they were greeted by rolling logs and stones like rain.
Waving the shield in his hand and separating a flying stone, Li Chengdong felt that his arm was numb, and then looked at the subordinates who followed him, there were already more than a dozen people who had been smashed with broken heads, broken bones, and broken tendons.
......
"What's going on?" Hearing about the sudden fight at the head of the city, Liu Liangzuo asked angrily. The Ming army that entered the city was just over a thousand, and the vanguard had not yet entered the encirclement, so why did the city move first?
"This shit!" He angrily scolded Zhang Guerrilla.
"Dongping Hou, what should we do?" At this moment, even Ruan Dacheng was a little panicked, talking about his own way on paper, and when he encountered this kind of real war, he couldn't react, and he still had to rely on veterans like Liu Liangzuo.
"What else can I do! can only do it in advance, besiege and kill the Pingnan army that entered the city, and also break one of Chen Yue's arms, and frustrate his spirit! Liu Liangzuo replied angrily. It's just that if this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to annihilate Chen Yue's army again.
