Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 149 Four Doors Open at the Same Time

A spark can start a prairie fire, and at present, Anzhou City is almost in this state, half of the city is on fire, and half of the city is covered with snow.

Upstairs in the southern city, King Yu faced the army of the Lower Tang Dynasty that had stopped the fire attack, and asked, "How many percent are you sure of?" ”

"Fifty percent" Xuan Shaoning replied crisply.

"Do you know what it means for those cities on the other side of Taoshui once the city of Anzhou is broken?"

"The last general knows, and the last general also knows that our army has held the city of Anzhou for ten days, and no less than five calls for help have been sent during this period, but there has been no response from the city on the other side."

"This is not a reason for us to give up strategically as soldiers!"

"General, Anzhou City can't support it for long, according to the current fire, it won't take half a day for the entire city to be engulfed in flames, do you want to let tens of thousands of Liang Dynasty soldiers and tens of thousands of people be buried for Anzhou City?"

"The enemy surrounds three and lacks one, and the intention is so obvious, how much difference is there between us taking the initiative to go up and accompany the funeral?"

"The last general's plan is to make the enemy think that we are trapped."

"Tell me more about it."

"The four gates are open at the same time, so that the enemy does not know which side we intend to evacuate from, and the enemy outside the north gate is the least numerous, and it is not difficult to solve it. The last general had already investigated the water before, but due to the heavy snow and freezing for several days, the water had frozen. ”

"Four doors open at the same time?" King Yu turned around and stared at Xuan Shaoning and said, "Do you know what this means? ”

"Sacrifice! The last general is willing to lead the army to break through one door! ”

King Yu turned around and turned his gaze back to the battlefield to the south, "Sacrifice one, maybe you can still leave three sides alive." ”

"General, please leave the southern battlefield to me!"

It was not Xuan Shaoning who said this, but Peng Anze, who had been standing at the head of the city, and he knelt down on one knee and asked for battle: "The south is the main force of the Lower Tang Army, and the half-day fire attack has exhausted their Qingying, and it is the time for Tunlian to exert its might." The last general is willing to lead all the guards of Tunlian out of the city to meet the enemy and buy time for the retreat of the army! ”

"Undoubtedly, Commander Peng is the most father in line with the current war situation." Shen Yongnian admonished: "General, the last general is willing to lead the left guard to break through the West Gate!" ”

"Sacrifice, many people can make it, but once we make it, we can't sacrifice in vain."

"General, the destruction of Anzhou City is already an irretrievable fact, but this does not mean that the enemy can drive straight into and capture other cities!"

"What do you mean?"

"At the beginning, our army rushed to Anzhou and carried a lot of gunpowder, and when we retreated, we will blow up all the frozen water surface, although Taoshui has a freezing period every year, but first, the water flow is turbulent, and secondly, the temperature is not as good as Mobei, although Taoshui will also freeze, but it is not that kind of tough ice, our army can get through, and it is not difficult to blow up the ice."

"And then there's the confrontation across the river!"

"That's right, Xia Tang has a strong navy, although we are not as good as Shang Tang in this regard, but Suzhou has a navy yamen. Moreover, all the naval forces of the Lower Tang Dynasty were at sea, but Taoshui was an inland river, and it did not enter the sea at all, so the Lower Tang Dynasty had no chance to send the naval army to support, as long as the general could reach the opposite bank safely, he could order the Suzhou naval army to attack the enemy against the current. ”

"It's not that I haven't thought about using the Suzhou Navy, but the Navy Yamen has always been subordinate to the Ministry of War and is not subject to the control of the four armies, and the general can indeed forcibly order the navy by virtue of his status as a prince, but the consequences are ......" Shen Yongnian said the crux of the matter.

"The consequences can't be controlled so much, if my father knew that Anzhou City was broken, he would also understand my helplessness in using the water army."

King Yu saw the smoke and dust rising on the battlefield at the South Gate, judging from the banner, it was the Xiliang cavalry who went to battle, and the stone throwers behind the cavalry were all in place, and soon the boulder would fall into Anzhou City like raindrops.

"Just do what you planned!" King Yu turned around suddenly, he stared at Peng Anze and said: "Tunlian went out of the city to meet the enemy, but remember, you must come back alive!" ”

When Duan Lang rushed to the vicinity of the north gate with the remaining fire extinguishing team, he met Ling Feiyan, Si Heng and Xing Gang, who had already evacuated here, and the wounded and ordinary people were all concentrated in the north of the city, which was the only one that had not been attacked by the ghost fire.

The north of the city was guarded by Ou Luyang, and he had already seen the fire in the city when he stood on the head of the city, and saw that the fire was burning more and more, and after a few hours, it would swallow up the ordinary city. Ou Luyang's face was blue reflected in the firelight, and the fear in his heart was known only to him, and as the commander of the Golden Armor Guard, he had to remain calm, even in the moment of life and death.

"Why are there only these people?" Duan Lang looked at the wounded and asked Ling Scarlet Yan.

"It's good to be able to rescue them, the ghost fire is like a life, chasing people, once it is caught up by the ghost fire, it will soon become a fireball."

"It's the same on my side." Xing Gang pointed to the people behind him, "I evacuated the people with Jin Jiawei, but because the people were all placed near the West Gate, after the ghost fire burned, many people were also burned alive, and they were the only ones who were still alive." ”

"What now? The fire is so fierce that it won't take a few hours for it to spread here, and if we still can't hold out, then there is only one end. Si Heng said with some pessimism, "Rather than let me be burned to death by these ghost fires, I would rather go to the battlefield and cut down a few more enemies!" ”

"You're right, then, your chance has arrived!"

Everyone looked back, Ou Luyang walked down the city tower with a serious face, and said to all the golden guards: "I just received a military order from the general, ordering us to open the city gate, rush out, and kill a bloody road, so that we can escape along the Taoshui to the other side!" ”

"Just what I want!" Si Heng shouted excitedly.

Duan Lang immediately shouted: "This is Shaoning's idea, it must be the general who accepted his proposal!" ”

"So what?" Ou Luyang stared at Duan Lang and said, "The four doors are open at the same time, isn't this letting the robes of the other three doors die in vain!" Captain Xuan, this is planning to sacrifice everyone to save a few people! ”

"Otherwise, does Commander Ou have a better idea?" Ling Feiyan asked rhetorically: "The enemy is besieging us, and the city is about to be engulfed in flames, do we have any other way to choose but to take the initiative to attack?" The water is already frozen, and the number of enemies at the north gate is not large, we are the ones with the most hope of escaping, only if we are alive can we let the people of the country know what happened in Anzhou City! ”

"That's what Captain Ling said! Prepare for the fact that once the signal is received, the four doors will open together, and we will have a fierce battle! ”

Ou Luyang drew his sword and ordered his golden guards to line up near the city gate. After a while, a firework flew into the sky, which was a signal that the four doors were open at the same time!

The south gate was wide open, Tunlianwei rushed out, and the last hundreds of chariots formed a huge convoy to meet the galloping Xiliang cavalry. Peng Anze was still leading the way, and with the lessons he had learned before, he had two shield-bearers and two pikemen on each chariot.

The enemy of Tunlianwei, the Xiliang cavalry, let out a burst of shouts while riding his horse, especially Bei Chunkang, who was at the forefront, four days ago, he was not satisfied with the small test knife four days ago, and he was about to have a hearty battle after holding it for a long time, he licked his dry lips with his tongue, he seemed to have smelled the smell of blood.

The west gate opened, and He Yunke led a thousand left guards to meet the Xia Tang cavalry besieging them. It was these enemies, despicable and shameless enemies who used the ghost fire of Qingying to kill their countless robes, making them die so painfully and worthlessly! This account, I, He Yunke, want to get it back on behalf of all the brothers who died in the war!

The east gate opened, and it was Geng Yan who met the Tang soldiers, all of whom were Jinjia guards under his command, as infantry, their combat effectiveness was under the cavalry, but at the moment they couldn't care about so much, even if it was three against one, or even if they lost more lives, they must complete the task assigned by the general, and they must completely crush the enemy army on the eastern battlefield.

The efforts of the three battlefields were aimed at breaking through to the north, and King Yu, accompanied by Shen Yongnian and Xuan Shaoning, rode from the south gate to the north gate. After the north gate was opened, Ou Luyang could be regarded as charging ahead, but the number of people under his command was not many after all, and he also brought civilians and wounded.

Originally, they thought that the enemy was surrounded by three and missing one, but it was not until the actual battle that the Liang army found that they had fallen into the enemy's trap again.
