Chapter 847: Fierce Street Fighting
The entire Ningling City is still under the attack of Li Jing's artillery fire, or boulders, or artillery, the entire city wall of Ningling City has been almost destroyed, and the north gate area, the city wall has collapsed, and nothing can be seen except for a banner of Yan Song Dynasty on it.
"Your Majesty, there is already movement in Ningling City." In the distance, the war horses galloped over, and Du Xing was followed by some secret guards, panting, and said loudly: "Uncle Zhang is ready to fight with us in the streets, and his two sons have already retreated into the city with the soldiers and horses, and the camp outside the city has become an empty camp. ”
"Street fighting? Do you think Uncle Zhang is preparing to fight us in the streets? Li Jing's horsewhip waved lightly, glanced around, and said: "In the eyes of this king, this Uncle Zhang is preparing to escape, Ningling City is relatively small, and the city defense is not strong enough, under the effect of our return artillery, the city wall in the north cannot resist at all, so he is preparing to escape, the so-called street fighting, can he resist our soldiers and horses?" ”
"Escaping at this time is the best choice, at least we can keep our living forces and fight us in Yingtianfu." Wu Song couldn't help but say: "It's just that we are mostly cavalry, how far can these people escape?" ”
"Then attack and level Ningling for this king. First opened the way with artillery fire, and blew up all the walls in front of me. Li Jing's eyes flashed with anger, these scholars, don't they know that this king is going south, not only for hegemony, but more importantly, for the Han people, only by hitting the energy to deal with the Jin people, can the Jin people be defeated and the Han people restored.
For the sake of so-called loyalty, these scholars actually threw aside the Han people in the world, such foolish loyalty made Li Jing not like it very much, and since Zhang Shuye was like this, he should bear his own anger.
Lin Chong, who got the order, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered people to open fire, and for a while, the entire Ningling City, the earth shook, as if the gods were angry, the earth was trembling, and the entire north gate was full of smoke and dust, straight into the sky.
And the people who saw them off at the south gate, the boss with his mouth open, even if it was Yue Fei, showed a trace of fear on his face, what kind of power is this, how can he resist it, at this time, everyone thought of Ying Tianfu, can the tall Ying Tianfu really resist Li Jing's attack? For a while, as powerful as Yue Fei, there was no certainty at this time.
"Boss." Han Shizhong looked at Zhang Shuye with some concern, and said, "Let the two young generals go with us!" ”
"Since the old man became Yan Song's courtier, the old man's family are all Yan Song's courtiers, and now he can die for Yan Song, it is the old man's blessing and their blessing, you can go! Li Jing's army will soon attack the city. Uncle Zhang said very calmly.
"Take care, sir." Since Uncle Zhang had already said this, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and the others naturally didn't say anything, bowed to Uncle Zhang, and led the army towards Ying Tianfu.
Uncle Zhang stood on the wall of the south gate at night, looking at the army in the distance, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, after the army, there were still many people in Ningling City who were also retreating, and they had nothing to do with loyalty, but they just didn't want to be killed in the chaos. The city can't be defended, what is needed is street fighting, at that time there will be more dead and wounded, bows and arrows will not know people, whether it is the Yan Song soldiers, or the common people, as long as they stand in front, they will be killed, and even those soldiers will be killed, and all the enemies in front of them will be unlucky.
The war did not stop because of the departure of these ordinary people, after Li Jing's army destroyed the city wall of Ningling, it began to enter the city in an orderly manner, to be honest, after the street battle got rid of Li Qiao, I am afraid that no one has done it again, even if it is Li Jing, Li Jing fights, there are few street battles, and only when he meets Uncle Zhang.
The cavalry roared in, and there were countless bows and arrows in front of them, only to see a simple urn city appear in front of the cavalry, saying that it was an urn city, but in fact it was a high wall piled up of mud, and even temporarily spliced with wooden planks, leaving only a gate for people to enter and exit. Zhang Bofen led 5,000 elite crossbowmen to guard this place, in the end it was an urn city, relatively narrow, and the defense was only a small distance, and the cavalry suddenly entered it, and before they could get used to it, they were shot by thousands of crossbow arrows, and even people and horses were killed and wounded.
Team after team, the strong crossbowmen kept shooting the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the oncoming cavalry fell to the ground one after another, even if some cavalry barely advanced a few steps, they were finally killed by the crossbow arrows.
Lin Chong, who commanded the army, soon discovered this problem, and the second time he broke into the city was the infantry, holding a shield and walking slowly. Zhang Bofen, who was stationed on the earthen wall, knew that his battle could only end here, and made a gesture behind him, and the crossbowmen retreated one after another.
The hand who lost the enemy's shield rejoiced in his heart, and soon killed under the urn city, and was about to continue the attack, when suddenly the urn city in front of him collapsed, and before a dozen soldiers could react, they were pressed under the mud, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
The rest of the infantry was stunned for a moment, and soon continued to hold the big shield in their hands, and slowly went up along the small dirt mountain, saying that it was a dirt mountain, but in fact it was just a small dirt slope, but in the end, it was uneven, these soldiers were wearing armor, holding a big shield, walking on it, it was inevitable that they could not maintain balance, and there were still some gaps in the shield guard.
"Shoot the arrows." There was a roar, and I saw that on the tall building next to me, thousands of arrows were fired in unison, condescendingly, and dozens of soldiers in front of me were shot and killed. The soldiers behind him saw that something was wrong and quickly retreated slowly. However, in the time of tea, the army under Li Jing suffered hundreds of casualties, which was very tragic.
"This damn thing, you actually want to fight in the streets, Uncle Zhang, you are so hateful." Li Jing looked at Ningling City in front of him, looking very dilapidated, but at this time, he was constantly consuming his time.
"Your Majesty, it is better to burn him with a fire." Wang Shan couldn't help but say loudly.
"Fart, there are still a lot of ordinary people here, at this time, Ningling City was burned down, how do you let the people of the world view this king, there will be more opposition to us in the future." Li Jing couldn't help but reprimand.
"In that case, it is better to leave some people to guard here, and the rest of the people to bypass the city and continue to pursue south." Gao pet suggested.
"There are nearly 200,000 people in our rear, and such an army remains here, and the king is uneasy, if we can't resist it, our grain routes will be controlled by the enemy, and the soldiers don't care, but what about our horses? I don't know how much is consumed every day. Li Jing shook his head and rejected Gao Chong's suggestion, he didn't know at this time that he was only facing the soldiers and horses of Uncle Zhang's headquarters, and Yue Fei and the others had already led the main force south, otherwise, he would definitely agree to Gao Chong's suggestion.
It's a pity that he doesn't know that the traverser is not omnipotent.
