Chapter 944: Breaking Through the Encirclement (4,000 Words)
Gu Jianxiong's words are good, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood!
Only by saving their lives can the Yan army finally have the opportunity to make a comeback, make a comeback, and recapture Yuejiang City.
The military order was like a mountain, and the Yan army shot two waves of arrows, forcing back the besieging Chu army, and quickly transferred with Gu Jianxiong.
During the evacuation, Gu Jianxiong glanced at the injured Yan Jun on all sides, and instructed the swift Yan Jun beside him, saying, "All the brothers who are panting, no matter how serious the injuries are, must be taken away." ”
The Chu army was attacking too fiercely, and it seemed that they had the idea of fighting to the death.
In the south of Yuejiang City, thousands or even tens of thousands of people were killed in the battle, and there were heavy casualties.
According to his estimates, the Chu army will definitely not leave the Yan army alive when it breaks through the city!
Therefore, the injured Yan army must not be pulled down, otherwise, if you have not died on the battlefield, you will also be killed by the Chu army!
"Yes!"
A song is said to be without clothes, and with the son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son.
It is sonorous and powerful, and it shapes the belief of Yan Jun.
So that no matter how difficult the Yan army is, he will not leave his wounded robe and flee alone.
Before Gu Jianxiong had given an order, the Yan soldiers supported the injured Yan soldiers on their backs and quickly retreated from the city wall.
Everyone supported each other and walked towards the main street of Yuejiang City.
At first, Gu Jianxiong ordered the guards to take the Yan army and gather all the war horses in the city in the main street, hoping to lead a small number of remnants of the army to fight to the death with the Chu army when the Chu army broke through the city.
However, the speed at which the east gate of Yuejiang City was breached was far greater than expected, and there were still a large number of Yan troops in the city, and if they continued to stay, they would become the target of the Yan army's massacre.
Gu Jianxiong led the whole army, and when he evacuated the city wall, he poured fire oil on the city wall, and set fire to all the bed crossbows that had been destroyed by catapults before, forming a barrier to temporarily prevent the Yan army from leaving.
At this moment, on the main street, 30,000 war horses, all concentrated.
The Simen Yan army fled through in a hurry, and hurriedly jumped on the war horse.
Riding on the war horse, at that moment, the Yan army seemed to be in the desert, and the walkers who had found the water source recovered their morale again.
Sit on your horse, arrange your armor, fill your crossbow with short arrows, and prepare to rush out of the city gates.
The Yan army, who came down from the south gate, quickly boarded the war horse, tore off the armor on his back, and tied the injured Yan army on his back!
At this time, on the city wall in the south of the city, the Chu army successfully climbed the city wall and quickly rushed down to the city.
Gu Jianxiong boarded the war horse, turned his head to look at the Chu army that had climbed to the top of the city, passed through the flames, and shouted: "The whole army broke through from the east gate, turned back to the north gate, and marched in the direction of Ancheng. ”
Among the four gates, only the east gate was captured by the Chu army, and a large number of Chu troops poured in like a tide.
In addition, Gu Jianxiong was worried about breaking through from the West Gate, and the Chu army set up an ambush outside the West Gate, and the Yan army was easily intercepted.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
……
The ring head knife slapped on the horse's back, the war horse moved forward, Yan Qi grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, held the repeating crossbow in the other, and shot on the buttocks of the war horse that had lost its owner.
The stinging pain caused the war horse to neigh, and then galloped wildly, rushing towards the east gate!
Gu Jianxiong and the Yan army used the war horse to cover and chased the war horse forward.
The general of the Chu army who took the lead in capturing the east gate of Yuejiang City was called Han Xishang.
is Han Zhitong's youngest nephew, the other party's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is a tiger general under the Chu army.
This time, he fought with Han Zhitong in Yuejiang City, and was ordered by Han Zhitong to attack the east gate, which really lived up to expectations.
At this time, Han Xishang led 10,000 Chu troops to capture the east gate and quickly clear the Yan army in the streets and alleys.
I hope to quickly conquer the city, capture the whole city, and occupy the control of Yuejiang City!
He had just appeared on the main street from the alleys on all sides, and suddenly, the tiles on the eaves on both sides of the street clanged and shook slightly.
From time to time, tiles fell off the eaves and fell to the ground, and with a snap, the tiles fell in all directions.
Han Xishang led the army, but suddenly encountered an inexplicable change, and the army that was hurrying forward restrained the advance.
The adjutant general paid attention to the situation on all sides, rushed up quickly, trotted to Han Xishang's side, and hurriedly said, "General, what is the voice?" ”
Han Xishang still didn't know the source of the sound, why there was a huge earthquake in all directions, and there was a rumbling sound in front of him!
couldn't help but secretly worry that the Yan army had an ambush in Yuejiang City, otherwise, how could he easily break through the east gate.
"General, look!" In confusion, Chu Jun beside him suddenly raised the short sword in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted in panic.
Yuejiang City is not big, the streets are not wide, but it is very straight, hearing the voice of the guards, Han Xishang looked up.
In the distance of the street, a black torrent rushed quickly along the main street, and in the process of shuttling, all the goods on both sides of the street were destroyed.
It was as if countless brute cattle were rampaging through the streets.
Steed?
No master warhorse!
After a moment of detailed observation, Han Xishang's face turned pale, and in an instant, cold sweat broke out all over his body!
The Yan army was defeated in defending the city, and it was right to resist desperately step by step in the city, how could the war horses rampage in the city.
At this time, Han Xishang was not allowed to think too much, because the speed of the war horse was extremely fast, although there were alleys on both sides of the street. However, most of the Chu troops who broke into the east gate were already concentrated on the main street.
Either quickly defend against the enemy or evacuate quickly, he is in a dangerous situation, and he needs to make the wisest choice in the shortest possible time.
"Stop moving, fortify on the spot, quick, quick, fast!"
After thinking about it for a while, Han Xishang made a choice to intercept Yan Qi on the spot, even if the other party was a flood beast, as long as he blocked the east gate, and when the other three Chu troops rushed in, the Yan army would be unable to fly.
The embattled army heard about the generals and acted quickly, the shield soldiers used the iron shield to form a defense, the archers hid behind the iron shields, and the arrows opened the full bows, and a large number of infantry with short swords stood behind the archers with full spirit.
Nearly 10,000 Chu troops, in the streets, formed a three-layer defense, inside and out, as if in front of the street, forming a huge iron shield!
In the middle of the street, Gu Jianxiong and the Yan army riding forward on horseback, in the process of advancing, their eyes passed through the war horse in front of them, and they noticed the Chu army deployed in front of the street.
Gu Jianxiong and the Yan Jun who went forward were cold, and their hearts were worried.
At this time, Gu Jianxiong violently pulled out his horse chopping knife, pointed the knife forward, held the horse's belly between his legs, and shouted: "The whole army is forward, rush over!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
Yan Qi urged the war horse and moved forward quickly with Gu Jianxiong!
Defending the city, maybe Yan Qi can't do it, the terrain of Yuejiang City is narrow, and various factors have restrictions on Yan Qi.
However, Yan Qi has war horses, and they are not afraid of anything.
Ten thousand horses marched forward, the horses' hooves rumbled, Yan Cai held a repeating crossbow, ignoring the front of the Chu army, and under the leadership of Gu Jianxiong, the two sides quickly approached.
"Put!"
"Put!"
Han Xishang and Gu Jianxiong defended and attacked, and shouted in unison!
Suddenly, a rain of arrows from both sides of the street shot out from both sides of the street, intertwining in the air, forming an intersperse!
The speed of the arrow rain was extremely fast, and it quickly fell on the two armies of Yan and Chu, the Chu army was blocked by an iron shield, and there were not many casualties.
However, the Yan army's charge, without casualties caused by the rain of arrows, came to an abrupt halt, on the contrary, the cavalry speed increased more and more.
Including Gu Jianxiong, everyone in the Yan army knew in their hearts that the Yan army might have a glimmer of life when they charged, and if the whole army stayed, they would inevitably be shot and killed by the Chu army.
Boom!
The ownerless war horse, under the expulsion of the cavalry, slammed into the defense formed by the iron shield, with a huge impact, even if the Chu army took the lead in forming a defense, it was still being easily broken through.
For a while, the Chu army, which was blocking with a shield in front, was knocked on their backs and fell to both sides.
At this time, the Yan army in front moved forward quickly, grabbed the ring head knife, and slashed the Chu army that tried to rush up to block the Chu army, and the cavalry in the rear broke into the defense of the Chu army, using the crossbow, and quickly shot the Chu army on all sides.
In the process of moving forward, the Yan cavalry seemed to be a mighty torrent, and the Chu army in the street could not defend at all, on the contrary, they were quickly killed.
The entire place where Yan Qi shuttled, the ground was full of corpses!
Han Xishang led his troops to block Yan Cai, but he returned in vain, and watched Yan Cai quickly rush in front of him, leaving behind a large number of Chu army corpses.
At this moment, the charging Yan army and the Yan army guarding the city wall are two completely different armies.
The charging Yan army, with thousands of troops, could not be stopped at all.
Han Xi still didn't dare to imagine that in the city, the Yan Cavalry had already shown very strong combat effectiveness, if it was in the wilderness, it was estimated that the Yan Cavalry team would become a wild horse, and no one could successfully tame the other party.
"In one go, kill out of Yuejiang City!" During the rapid march, he witnessed the Chu army being killed and killed by the Yan cavalry, with countless casualties, and Gu Jianxiong gradually became high-spirited.
During the galloping horse, while reminding the Yan army, he quickly killed the Chu army on the left and right with a knife, so as not to give the Chu army a chance to regroup and form an effective defense.
"Kill the river city!"
"Kill the river city!"
"Kill the river city!"
In the process of moving forward, Yan Qi, who became crazy, waved the blood-dripping ring head knife, the blade scarlet blood splattered, and the entire army became unstoppable!
Han Xishang was depressed in his heart, and finally realized what his uncle had encountered in the north during the Northern Expedition.
The Yan cavalry is very powerful, and the ordinary Chu army can't stop it at all, if it moves forward to block, it's like the Chu army encountering, spending the Chu army, but it can't stop the Yan cavalry from moving forward.
Seeing that the defense of the Chu army was like paper paste, and Yan Qi had killed it mightily, Han Xishang was unwilling in his heart, and shouted: "Quickly pursue, decide not to let the tiger return to the mountain!" ”
Although Han Xishang knew in his heart that the chances of successfully blocking Yan Qi were very slim, he still wanted to try it once.
Otherwise, let the desperate Yan cavalry escape, and when the other party comes back, the Chu army may not be able to successfully block the other party.
At that time, the Chu army, including the army from the south, would completely turn into the skeleton of the Yan army, and let the other party trample on horseback.
It's a pity that the Chu army at this time is like a sheathed sword, sharp and extremely sharp, and the Chu army does not dare to approach at all, otherwise, it will inevitably die in the rain of the opponent's ring head knife or crossbow arrows.
In the resentful eyes of the Chu army, Gu Jianxiong led nearly 20,000 Yan cavalry, relying on the speed advantage of the war horse, surrounded by the Chu army, and spent huge strength to rush out of Yuejiang City.
The Chu army that broke away from Yuejiang City was like a tiger returning to the mountain, the dragon entering the sea, the sea was wide and the fish jumped, the sky was high and the birds were flying, and the Chu army could no longer stop it.
The army quickly dispersed, forming a fan-shaped state, and quickly rushed out from the east gate, heading to Anseong, and the main army!
When Han Zhitong led the Chu army in the south of the city, opened the city gate and broke into Yuejiang City, and personally led the troops to pursue Han Xishang's location, seeing the Chu troops killed and wounded on both sides of the street, and the dense rain of arrows on all sides of the street, Han Zhitong fully understood.
Han Xishang quickly stepped forward, endured the great pain, pulled out his right arm and broke the arrow, so as not to be ashamed and said to Han Zhitong: "Uncle, Xi is still incompetent, let Yan Jun escape!" ”
"That's it, seize Yuejiang City, finally win the flag, and have a small harvest!" Han Zhitong waved his hand, walked to the middle of the street, looked up at the open city gate not far away, and said in a light tone.
How powerful Yan Qi is, he has personally experienced that among the four gates, Han Xishang took the lead in leading his troops to capture the city gate and enter the city of Yuejiang, which is already very commendable!
"Yes!" Han Xishang hugged his fists, and his arm hurt so that he couldn't help but gasp!
"Endure the pain and quickly clean up the corpses in the city!" Seeing Han Xishang's expression, Han Zhitong stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted him with words!
Han Zhitong instructed the guards beside him: "Tell me quickly, Xi Yue, Xi Ming, lead people to strengthen the city wall to prevent the Yan army from going and returning!" ”
After speaking, Han Zhitong turned around and secretly took a breath, still not daring to be careless in his heart.
Today's capture of Yuejiang City is closely related to its own successful deployment, the topography of Yuejiang City, and the weather.
Now the grass startles the snake, arousing the vigilance of the Yan army, and in the future, it will be very difficult to capture Anseong, Hangang City, and Linjiang City.
What's more, the capture of the small cross-river city, the Chu army suffered many casualties, if there is no ingenious way to capture the city in the future, and always insist on a strong attack, the Chu army will capture Ancheng, Linjiang City, and Hanjiang City, and it is estimated that it will still need to lose 60,000 or 70,000 or 70,000 Chu troops.
In addition, the Yan army is up and down, and the sense of revenge is very medium, he must lead the army to hold the city of Yuejiang, otherwise, the city that has just arrived may change hands in a blink of mind.
………
At this moment, fifty miles away from Yuejiang City, Feng Shihu led 10,000 ironclad cavalry, hurrying forward!
The fog dissipated, emptied thousands of miles, and on the plain, it could be faintly seen that there was a faint smoke in the sky above Yuejiang City.
The distance is far away, and you can still see it faintly, so you can imagine what will happen if you go to Yuejiang City.
Without much hesitation, Feng Shihu ordered the iron cavalry to move forward quickly!
What happened in Yuejiang City, Feng Shihu had never been there, and he could never guess it.
But he knew that today, if Yuejiang City was lost, the Chu army would win a great victory, and most of them would lead the army to start fighting in the south.
Anseong and the other three cities will become extremely dangerous!
More importantly, the great victory of the Chu army proved that the Yan army was not invincible in the south, and it may cause the southern princes, including the Wu Yue army, to suddenly change their previous agreement, set off their troops again, and attacked the Yan army.
As the general of the Yan State in the south of the Yangtze River, he must find ways to find a suitable time to inflict heavy losses on the Chu army and suppress the arrogance of the other party, so as to suppress the southern princes and prevent the other party from being ready to move, setting off a large-scale army in the south and attacking the Yan army.
"The whole army will speed up and strive to reach Yuejiang City as soon as possible!" While thinking, Feng Shihu slashed the saber in his hand and slapped it on the horse's back, urging the whole army to move forward quickly.
