Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 2 Gather and annihilate stragglers to defend Chengdu

Section 8 Defending Chengdu (6)

The dozen or so strong men took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the rebel soldiers who had entered the city from the east city wall, and at this time, they rushed to the gate of Liu's mansion by mistake. When these dozen rebels saw that the courtyard of Liu's mansion looked like a wealthy family, they thought that Liu's mansion was the residence of a certain big man in the city. As a result, these dozen rebels rushed forward, wanting to enter Liu's mansion, in a vain attempt to capture some important people to blackmail the officials and soldiers defending the city.

How could the dozen or so old soldiers guarding the gate of Liu's mansion agree, they all drew their swords in their hands to meet them, and fought with more than a dozen rebels who came to attack.

These dozen rebels bullied the old and decrepit dozen or so old soldiers in front of them, and they didn't take it seriously, shouting and scolding loudly and slashing with their knives, but as soon as the two sides fought, these rebels were shocked.

Although those old soldiers are already in their fifties, they cannot be compared with the young and strong rebel soldiers in terms of physical strength, but these old soldiers are all elites who have survived a hundred battles, and they are all fierce soldiers who followed Liu Ting in the southern and northern wars. Although these old soldiers are old, their kung fu and combat experience have not diminished at all, and more than a dozen old soldiers cooperate with each other to suppress the rebels who are superior in numbers, and they are fierce and swift in every move. The two sides only exchanged tea for less than a cup of tea, and those rebel soldiers were killed one after another, while a dozen or so old soldiers were not killed or wounded!

"Who the hell are these old guys! Why is it so difficult? ”

"No! Everyone, get out of the way, go elsewhere and don't get tangled with these old guys! ”

In the blink of an eye, there were only eight of the dozen rebels left, and they had been beaten by the dozen or so old soldiers, and they all shouted and retreated, wanting to flee from this place.

But it was too late, the dozen or so old soldiers had already seen the clues, and immediately dispersed to attack together, and very tacitly separated four people to block behind the rebels, completely cutting off the retreat of these rebels. With the roar of one of the old soldiers, a dozen or so old soldiers rushed forward, and the remaining eight rebels were killed under the random knife.

A dangerous situation that was originally full of dangers was resolved by these battle-hardened veterans in a moment, leaving only bloodstains and a dozen cold corpses. The surrounding people, led by the officials, rushed over and removed the corpses of the rebels on the street, while the dozen or so old soldiers returned to their previous state and continued to be stationed in front of the gate of Liu's mansion, vigilantly watching the surrounding situation.

Although the city has temporarily returned to calm, the fierce battles on the four walls are still extremely fierce, especially on the south and east walls, where the defenders and strong men have been killed by the rebel soldiers. At this time, both sides are already killing red eyes, the sword is cut off and the short spear continues to fight, the short spear is broken and the fist is used to beat each other, and even some soldiers who have lost their minds are biting the opponent with their own teeth, the entire city wall of Chengdu seems to have turned into a Shura hell, thousands of soldiers have been unable to distinguish each other's camps, and there are people roaring and fighting everywhere.

At this time, Wu Hang was already tired and out of breath, and his back and right arm were already hung, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly fighting with the rebel soldiers in front of him.

After the armies attacking the south and east walls attacked one after another, the army attacking the north and west walls also came with the news that the soldiers besieging the city had boarded the city wall and were fighting with the defenders of the city.

"Herald! After the army broke the city, it did not seal the sword for three days, and the whole army continued to storm Chengdu. In addition, the 10,000 troops left behind by the Chinese army immediately began to mobilize, and after half an hour, the troops were divided into two routes to support the army attacking the northern and western city walls. ”

After arranging this order, he looked at the battlefield in front of him with some pride, thinking in his heart how many supplies the army could get from the city after defeating Chengdu, and what rewards he could get from Yu Chongming.

"The army has suffered a lot of losses in this war, it seems that I should consider whether to recruit some strong men from the city to serve as cannon fodder in order to replenish the strength of the army?"

Hao Jiu Ming was thinking about it, and suddenly saw a thick smoke burning in Chengdu City, and couldn't help but be shocked, and said secretly: "Are the officials and soldiers asking for help?" What other soldiers and horses are there near Chengdu now? Who are they asking for help? ”

"Someone! Immediately send out scouts to carefully investigate within a radius of ten miles from Chengdu, especially to the east and north, and keep a close watch! ”

After watching the dozens of scouts leave, Hao Jiu Ming sneered and said secretly: "Regardless of whether there are reinforcements from the official army, I will break through Chengdu today!" Do the defenders of the nearby towns have the courage to come to their aid? Joke! ”

"Herald! The army intensified its attack, and today it is attacking continuously, even if it is dark, it is not allowed to stop! ”

The rebel army suddenly sounded a low horn, and then, the more than 30,000 rebels who were besieging Chengdu seemed to be crazy, and the offensive suddenly became much more violent, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers and strong men on the four city walls increased sharply, and many places were full of dangers, and even some strong men began to flee with screams, and then they were killed on the spot by the officers and soldiers next to them.

Wu Hang was too tired to lift his sword, so he retreated to the South City Tower with a few personal guards, and commanded the soldiers to continue to fight on the City Tower. But it didn't take long for Wuhang to receive urgent news one after another, the eastern, southern, western, and northern city walls were all in a hurry, and the strong men everywhere were already crushed under the fierce attack of the rebels, and the remaining officers and troops were also unable to support themselves; In the entire defense system of Chengdu, except for the eastern city wall, which was supported by more than 1,000 soldiers of the Changshui Battalion, the situation was slightly better, and the defenders everywhere were on the verge of collapse.

"I hope the general will arrive in time! Otherwise, Chengdu is really finished! ”

Wu Hang looked at the mountains in the southwest in the distance and thought stupidly, his heart full of worry.

The words are divided into two ends, just when the offensive and defensive battles in Chengdu are becoming more and more intense, Wen Poyu also received an urgent report that he did not collect at night, and learned that the rebels had gone crazy and were storming Chengdu regardless of casualties; At the same time, the night was not closed, and a thick wolf smoke was burned in Chengdu from a distance.

Wen Poyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the wolf smoke was a signal for him to discuss with Wuhang! After careful consideration, Wen Poyu thought that the fighter plane had arrived, and now was the time for the rebels to relax their vigilance and attack the city with all their might, so he gave an order and led 10,000 Changshui Battalion Iron Cavalry to drive out of the Heming Mountain Valley, and led the Iron Cavalry Army to rush all the way along the east-west Heming Mountain Range, heading towards Chengdu.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the traces of the Iron Cavalry Army were not detected by the rebels, Wen Poyu sent four waves of elites with hundreds of people to clear the rebel scouts ten miles away from the 10,000 Iron Cavalry Army, and made every effort to cover the Iron Cavalry Army that was marching.

An hour later, Wen Poyu led the soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to a place five miles southwest of Chengdu.

At this time, a team of night did not collect an important news to Wen Poyu: more than 40,000 rebels had attacked the city with all their might, and only 10,000 rebels of the Chinese army had not yet been put into the battlefield; At the same time, under the powerful offensive of the rebels, Chengdu is already in danger, and all four walls have been attacked by the rebels!

Wen Poyu was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, and he was surprised that the defense of Chengdu was so thrilling, if the time dragged on, it would be impossible for Chengdu to really be broken by the rebels! On the positive side, the rebels have shifted their attention to the siege, otherwise they would not have put the vast majority of their forces into the siege battle, which means that the rebels lack protection behind them!

"Herald! The army rested in place for a moment, and a moment later, the army rushed to Chengdu! ”

The mood of the nine lives is very good, after secretly increasing troops to the east city wall, he has received good news one after another, the siege armies everywhere have gained a firm foothold on the city wall, now it depends on who can hold on to the two sides, who can hold on to the end, who can win this siege battle!

"Herald! Mobilize another 5,000 soldiers and horses from the 10,000 troops of the Chinese army, and don't go to support the north and west anymore, and rush directly to the east city wall, and within an hour, you must enter the city! ”

The only remaining 10,000 troops of the Chinese army were divided into two armies, and the 5,000 troops who went to support the east city wall immediately began to assemble.

Just when the rebel army mobilized its troops and horses, the west of the battlefield suddenly raised dust covering the sky, and the earth trembled slightly.

Hao Jiu Ming looked at the west vigilantly, and a name popped up in his mind: "Iron Rider!" ”

"The Chinese army immediately withdrew to the battalion to defend it! Order the besieging army to withdraw immediately and return to the camp immediately! ”

Hao Jiu screamed and shouted, and the heralds around him suddenly dispersed, and the entire rebel army seemed to have exploded, and the army that was originally mobilizing suddenly seemed to be a frightened school of fish, and it was chaotic in an instant, and it was impossible to organize it in a short time.

Wu Hang stood on the tower and happened to see this scene, laughed excitedly, and shouted: "Beat the war drums!" Reinforcements are coming! The whole army strikes back! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The fierce war drums resounded in the sky, and the officers and soldiers and strong men on the city wall suddenly rose in morale as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the originally precarious defense line was stabilized in an instant. The tens of thousands of rebels were frightened, and under the order of the main general to retreat, they began to withdraw from the city in a panic.
