Section 9 Breaking through the Barrier and Heading South (2)
"The third row of bird's guns come forward, get ready! Put! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Under the uninterrupted bombardment of 1,700 soldiers of the trapped camp C Battalion, the rebel brigade suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and more than 10,000 soldiers from the Tiger Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion who came later had already been killed.
Zhao Kaishan and Li Tianhao had already led their own guards into the battlefield at this time, killing left and right among the rebels, so they were not happy, and the soldiers of the Huben battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion also took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and in the face of the rebel soldiers who had no power to resist, they raised their sharp swords, and the two battalions totaled more than 3,000 bird guns and kept firing volleys, sweeping a large number of rebel soldiers to the ground. And the soldiers of the trapped camp led by Wu Xing were like a strong embankment, firmly blocking the retreat of thousands of rebels, and there was no way to escape.
At this time, Xu Dangxu, who led his subordinates to attack everywhere and wanted to escape, was too tired to support it, so he poked the knife in his hand on the ground and stabilized his body. Faced with the desperate situation of death, Xu Dang Xu knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to survive today no matter what, rebellion is the capital crime of the Nine Clans, surrender is also a death, if you don't surrender, it will be a death! Thinking of this, Extravagant Xu was already as dead as ashes, looking at the panicked and screaming subordinates around him, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, and suddenly put the war knife in his hand on his neck, and then swiped hard, ending his life.
The surrounding rebel soldiers saw that their main general committed suicide at this time, and they blew up their nests on the spot, and they all dropped their weapons and wanted to surrender; However, some of the rebel soldiers thought that they were dead, so they were ready to continue fighting, and they were still fighting with the soldiers of the Hanwei army, and the whole battlefield was full of chaos.
At this time, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion to the periphery of the battlefield and began to line up behind the soldiers of the Huben battalion and the Yuecai battalion.
Liu Yunwei sat on his war horse and observed the situation on the battlefield for a while, and said to Guo Yi beside him: "You see, now that the defeat of the rebels has been decided, it seems that it will not take long for the soldiers to take down this rebel army, and I estimate that the number of rebels in Sword Pavilion City should not be too many now." Before this evening, the army will be able to reach the city of Sword Pavilion and camp under the city to threaten the rebels. Early tomorrow morning, the army will start attacking the city at all costs, and tomorrow it must take the Sword Pavilion City, and the army will immediately wave south! ”
Guo Yi nodded, and then said a few words to Ye Bushu beside him, and conveyed Liu Yunwei's order. Suddenly, Guo Yi saw that something seemed to be happening in the rebel formation, so he shouted to Liu Yunwei: "Look, head town!" The flag of the rebel commander seems to have fallen! ”
Liu Yunwei immediately looked in the direction indicated by Guo Yi, and indeed saw that the general flag of the rebel commander was gone, and immediately laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that this battle is probably going to end early." Immediately sent an order to Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao to immediately contain the prisoners and end the war as soon as possible. ”
It didn't take long for the entire battlefield to resound the shouts of "surrender and not kill", and the remaining thousands of rebels had long since lost the courage to resist.
An ambush battle has come to a perfect end!
Liu Yunwei, Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan inspected the situation on the battlefield and commanded the officers and men of each battalion to quickly collect the corpses and collect the prisoners. Then, Liu Yunwei saw that there was nothing to do, and looked up to see that it was still early, so he had the heart to lead the army to attack Sword Pavilion City.
So, Liu Yunwei asked Wu Xing, Li Tianhao, and Zhao Kaishan: "During the fierce battle just now, did you find that some of the rebels escaped?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and instantly understood the meaning of Liu Yunwei's words, and they all seemed a little excited. Wu Xing opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, we have planned this battle very carefully, I have trapped the camp and completely blocked the road, even if some rebel soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape, they can only escape into the lofty mountains of the Great Sword Mountain, if you want to escape from the Great Sword Mountain back to the Sword Pavilion City, it will take at least a few days!" ”
Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Haha, that's good, let's follow the official road to reach the Sword Pavilion City in just one day, and take advantage of the situation to capture the city!" ”
After finishing speaking, Liu Yunwei ordered all the soldiers of the trapped camp, the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Huben Battalion to stay, continue to guard the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, and then rush to the Sword Pavilion City as soon as possible to converge, while he led a total of 3,500 soldiers of the Pacesetter Battalion A and Battalion B to change into the clothes of the rebel soldiers, pretending to be the defeated soldiers of the rebels and marching all the way towards the Sword Pavilion City.
An hour later, Liu Yunwei led his army to the city of Sword Pavilion.
At this time, the 2,000 rebels who stayed in Sword Pavilion City had all ascended to the city to defend it, and they were on guard against the 3,500 Hanwei soldiers under the city.
Liu Yunwei took a closer look at the situation at the head of the Sword Pavilion City, and already had a plan in his heart: "It seems that the rebels are not much left in the city, at most two or three thousand people, it seems that our army has a great chance of winning this battle!" ”
So, Liu Yunwei immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly to the city: "Open the city gate quickly!" General Hao mistakenly hit the ambush when he pursued the official army, and the army has been defeated, let us in! ”
One of the leaders of the city was shocked when he heard this, and was about to order the city gate to be opened and the other party in, but he suddenly held back the order that had already come to his lips, and asked outside the city, "Who are you?" Where's General Luxury? ”
"I am the leader of General Hao's subordinates, General Hao was separated from us in the chaos, and I don't know where General Hao is now. Open the gates of the city quickly, let the brothers go in and recuperate, I don't know when the officers and soldiers will be killed! ”
The leader of the city frowned and thought for a while, but he was still a little hesitant, so he said: "General Hao has a strict order before leaving, and no one can open the city gate without seeing General Hao himself come back!" I see that you are still stationed outside the city, even if the official army comes, we can support you in the city! ”
"Bastard! We have been fighting with the officers and soldiers for so long, why don't we let us into the city! Open the gates! ”
"Open the gates!"
"Let us into the city, open the gates!"
After Liu Yunwei yelled, the 3,500 officers and soldiers of the Hanwei Army behind him who pretended to be rebels also shouted loudly, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Seeing this, the leader of the city immediately panicked, and shouted loudly: "Don't shout, anyway, you can't open the city gate, you can't see General Hao, and no one can come in!" ”
Seeing that the rebel leader refused to open the door, Liu Yunwei couldn't help frowning, kept thinking in his heart, and said secretly: "I didn't expect it, this little leader is really stubborn." If it really doesn't work, you can only wait until the follow-up army arrives and gathers the strength of the army to storm Sword Pavilion City. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei was just about to give the order to retreat, but suddenly a plan suddenly came to his heart, and he shouted loudly to the leader of the city: "It is estimated that the official army is now killing towards Sword Pavilion City, and you don't let us enter the city, because you want my thousands of brothers to wait here for death." Didn't you want to surrender and sacrifice the city, because you were afraid that we would ruin your good deeds, so you didn't let us enter the city! ”
Hearing Liu Yunwei's words, the leader was suddenly sweating profusely, and hurriedly shouted: "You are talking nonsense!" Bloody mouth! ”
Liu Yunwei didn't care what the leader said at all, but directly shouted to the rebel soldiers who were holding on to the city: "Brothers! Be careful, this traitor refuses to open the gates and let us in, he is preparing to pave the way for himself! By the time the officials and soldiers arrive, so many of your brothers will follow in our footsteps and become the first-class combat exploits in the hands of the officials and soldiers! ”
After Liu Yunwei finished speaking, the rebel soldiers at the head of the city looked at the leader, their eyes full of doubt and suspicion, staring at him profusely and their faces flushed. And the unnatural expression of the leader aroused the doubts in everyone's hearts even more, could it really be as the person outside the city said, did this official of his own want to dedicate Sword Pavilion City to the official army?
The leader was already angry at this time, and was about to order the release of arrows to disperse Liu Yunwei's troops outside the city, but the subordinates around him were unwilling to do anything, but instead advised him to wait and see, and not to act rashly.
At this time, Liu Yunwei took the opportunity to add another fierce material, and shouted loudly: "Brothers defending the city, now that the official army is strong, can you people and horses defend Sword Pavilion City?" Why don't you let me and my brothers go in and defend the city together, so that we can wait for the reinforcements from the head of the family to arrive. Otherwise, everyone will die! ”
"Yes, let's open the door and let the brothers in."
"Okay general, those are our brothers."
"General, if we do this, we will turn our brothers apart!"
The surrounding rebels persuaded the leader to open the city gate, and the leader was obviously a little shaken in the face of the situation in front of him, and he thought for a while with a hideous face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Open the gates and let them in. However, first mobilize a thousand soldiers to assemble at the city gate, just in case! ”
After a while, the north gate of Sword Pavilion City was slowly opened, Liu Yunwei saw this and forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he led the three thousand five hundred soldiers behind him to slowly enter the city gate cave, while Guo Yi was responsible for pressing the formation at the back of the army.
At this moment, the rebel leader at the head of the city suddenly saw that something was wrong with a soldier who was entering the city, and when he looked closely, he found that the soldier was still wearing stainless steel armor under his shabby uniform!
"Not good! Quickly put down the iron gate, that's the official army! ”
As soon as the words fell, a huge iron fence fell from the top of the city gate hole, and immediately divided the Hanwei army brigade that was entering the city into two sections, and about hundreds of soldiers of the standard battalion were trapped in the city together with Liu Yunwei.
At this time, the 1,000 rebels who had been guarding the city gate in advance heard the shouts of the leader and brandished their weapons to kill.
Seeing this, Liu Yunwei was not afraid, and laughed: "Wolf dogs can fight tigers!" Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy and quell the rebellion! Rush! ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
