Chapter 1102 Breaking the City Strongly
At the north gate of Wucheng, there was a sudden earth-shaking sound of killing, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shook the head of the city Li Mu and Tian Xu in a cold sweat.
Tian Xu hurriedly moved, leaned over in the center of the battlement, and exclaimed: "Where is the sound of killing, where is the sound of killing?"
These few killing cries are too inappropriate to show.
The Song cavalry killed, has not returned, the north gate is open, and now, suddenly there is a shout of killing, it must be the Yan army!
Tian Xu was lying in the center of the battlement, shining with the help of the torches at the head of the city, and vaguely saw that it was very close to the north gate, and a large number of swallow horses shuttled through the darkness, quickly killing towards the north gate.
For a while, Tian Xu hurriedly withdrew from the wall battlements and said to the guards beside him: "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly!"
Wucheng is an important barrier in the north of the Song Kingdom, to protect Kaifeng from the threat of the Yan army, it is necessary to control Wucheng.
Hearing this, the guards didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly turned around and left.
At this time, Li Mu still didn't understand the situation, and when he heard that Tian Xu ordered the city gate to be closed, and then saw his panicked expression, pushed his wheelchair, and approached the city wall, he couldn't help but ask Tian Xu: "Lord Tian, what is going on, why are you so panicked?"
His lieutenant led tens of thousands of Song cavalry to kill out of Wucheng, at this moment, the city gate was suddenly closed, if there were really Yan cavalry to kill, it was easy to put the Song cavalry in danger!
Without waiting for Tian Xu to answer, Li Mu approached the city wall, although his field of vision was not as wide as Tian Xu's, he still looked at the situation under the city, and couldn't help but gasp.
Pushing the wheelchair to retreat to the rear, his face was horrified, and he shouted wildly to the defenders of the four sides of the city wall: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, prepare for war, hurry up and prepare for war!"
The situation is urgent, Yan rode close to the city wall, if you don't resist the enemy quickly, it is easy for the other party to break through the city gate.
At this moment, Li Mu and Tian Xu were in a state of confusion, and they couldn't understand that the main force of the Yan army was in Wuli. Attacked by a fire bull, why did the north gate suddenly kill the swallow horse.
Could it be that the Yan army has reinforcements arriving, or is it that the Yan cavalry five miles away is all makeup, and Emperor Yan deliberately caused the situation that the grass and trees are all soldiers.
No one answered, only the rumbling of horses' hooves, like thunder in the air, dull and depressing, approaching the north gate more and more.
The defenders of the city wall, hearing the urgent and anxious military orders, in addition, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like a note of urging is getting closer and closer, everyone does not dare to be sloppy, shuttle back and forth in the corridor, arrange troops, and prevent Yan Qi from approaching.
The longbow and arrows were raised, and the rolling wood and stones were gathered, and all the infantry, their palms tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and their eyes were engrossed, just waiting for the Yan cavalry to approach and fight with them.
Under the city gate, two cavalry appeared, Ju Wentai led the left flank to run wildly, straight to the north gate, according to Lin Feng's plan, specifically attacked Wucheng, forcing Wucheng to change hands. The cavalry on the right flank turned back to pursue the Song army, and Lin Feng and Luo Da led the cavalry, approaching quickly, ready to join it.
At this moment, the defenders' main defense army is the more than 20,000 Yan cavalry led by Ju Wentai.
They swept over the earth like a mighty flood and slew at the north gate.
In the blink of an eye, when Ju Wentai took Yan Qi very close to the north gate, he noticed that the open city gate was about to close, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, grabbed the crossbow, preemptively attacked, and wanted to shoot the Song army who closed the city gate, so as to win the opportunity for Yan Qi to enter Wucheng.
Looking at it, the Yan cavalry beside Ju Wentai followed suit, buzzing and buzzing, and the arrow rain was like a poisoned snake in the night, and it quickly broke through the air and went to the Song army in the doorway.
For a while, there was a scream from inside the doorway, and the sound was miserable and infiltrating.
However, the giant-like tall city gate is still moving slowly, obviously, the Song army inside the city gate endured the dense arrow rain of Yan cavalry, and did not give up at the risk of death!
At the north gate, when Yan rode into the city, there seemed to be no suspense, suddenly, the west of the city also sounded the sound of earth-shattering killing, and then, in the west city, there seemed to be a meteorite on the ground, and the ground gradually burst into flames.
In the dark night sky of the west, a bright light gradually rises. Soon, these flames seemed to move, and more and more places in the West City were bursting with firelight.
There was a killing sound in his ears, and a bright light appeared in his eyes, at first, listening to the sound, Li Mu couldn't help but raise his hand and rub Yan Jun, his face was full of horror and confusion.
The west of Wucheng is a lonely peak, and the city wall has not been built, and there is a sound of killing in the west, is there a Yan army entering the city.
However, the Fog Shadow Mountain is dangerous in the high mountains, and even the birds are afraid of three points, how can the Yan army enter the city.
Li Mu was anxiously close to Tian Xu and asked softly: "The sound of killing in Xicheng, could it be that the Song army mutinied?" Or maybe the Yan Army Flying Army will appear?"
Tian Xu's eyes were dark, he didn't know what to ask, the Yanqi at the North Gate made him feel like numb, and in the West City, there was a shout of killing, and he didn't know why?
But he can be sure that it was not the Yan Army's flying army that entered the city, and according to the information he received, the flying army assisted Han Xian as a sailor in the south. There will be no north. In addition, Emperor Yan, Ju Wentai, and Huang Puxuan fought in the north and did not use the flying army.
Tian Xu couldn't answer Li Mu's inquiry, and only said: "No matter how the Yan army enters the city, it is imperative to expel the Yan army."
However, Li Mu did not dare to agree, and said: "Lord Tian, the main force of the cavalry is outside the city, and with more than 20,000 troops left in the city, it may be difficult to fight against the Yan army on the northwest and two fronts!"
Today, they put the main force on the Yan army outside the city, who knows, the Yan army is shameless, ambush in advance, and silently kill into the city, the defense in the city is empty, but the Yan army is cheap in vain.
At this time, the swallow rode under the north gate, and the tide seemed to pour into the north gate, and the Song army's defense was overstretched, and the defects of insufficient numbers were faintly exposed.
Now, the Yan army of Xicheng is coming, there are no extra troops in the city to stop it, it is estimated that it will not take much effort, and it will definitely converge with the Yan army of the North Gate.
The weak strength of the Song army will be even more prominent.
Li Mu didn't expect that he and Tian Xu made detailed deployments, and in the end, they ended up in a situation where the army was defeated.
However, Tian Xu's expression was firm, without the slightest idea of evacuating, and said coldly: "General Li, how important Wucheng is to the Song State, the general should know very well, if Wucheng falls, the northern part of the Song State will be completely exposed to the eyes of the Yan army, and the Yan and Song Dynasty will compete for hegemony, and the Song State will be in an extremely dangerous situation, and even enter a comprehensive passivity."
Tian Xu didn't want to evacuate, and he didn't dare to evacuate, so he explained to Li Mu the importance of Wucheng to the Song Kingdom, turned around and instructed the defenders of the city wall: "Arrows, rolling wood and stones, all attack the Yan army, don't show mercy, the Song army outside the city, turn back, and take the killing Yan cavalry off guard."
In desperation, Tian Xu could only encourage the three armies, strive to expel the Yan cavalry who broke into the north gate, close the north gate, and strive to close the door and fight the dogs.
After all, many of the information he understands is very unfavorable to the Yan army, as long as the Song army sticks to Wucheng, and Emperor Yan leads the troops, it will not be broken for a long time, and after weighing the situation of the Yan country, he will definitely take the initiative to evacuate.
After careful consideration, Luo Da and Huang Puxuan led the troops to climb down from the peak, with a huge drop, challenging the physical strength and will of the blade soldiers.
However, at such a high distance, there are also a few blade fighters who unfortunately fall from the cliff and fall to the ground during climbing.
Overall, it was a successful surprise attack.
Landed, Luo Da, Huangpu Xuan led the troops without rest, and threw themselves into battle.
According to Lin Feng's order, he set fire to Xicheng with fire oil to attract the attention of the Song army.
If the Song army sends reinforcements to block it, and strive to annihilate the Song army, if there is no Song army to obstruct it, Luo Da and Huangpu Xuan lead the troops to the north gate to ensure that the north gate is open.
Nowadays, there are few Song troops in Xicheng, and there is an earth-shaking sound of killing at the north gate, obviously, the Song army did not send reinforcements.
Luoda, Huangpu Xuan, led the troops to set fire all the way, all the way to the north gate, where they passed, the fire spread, and many Song army tents, armories, fell into the fire.
With the Yan army forward, the west city seems to fall into a sea of fire, the sky is full of fire, the west city is as bright as day, and even the north gate is much brighter.
When the two led the army to the north gate, Ju Wentai led the cavalry to fight with the Song army, and a very small number of Yan cavalry took the lead in entering the city.
Looking at it, Luo Da raised his horse slashing knife and shouted wildly to the Yan army beside him: "Rush to the city wall, capture Li Mu and Tian Xu alive!"
"Capture Li Mu alive, Tian Xu!"
"Capture Li Mu alive, Tian Xu!" As he was moving forward, Yan Jun shouted loudly and hurried towards the north gate with a crossbow in hand.
In the corridor, Li Mu and Tian Xu, who were leading the troops to insist, heard the earth-shattering sound from under the city, and learned that the Yan army of Xicheng had arrived, and the hearts of the two couldn't help but chuckle.
Outside the city, Ju Wentai led the Yan cavalry, attacked at the north gate, and was intercepted by the Song army under the city, encountered the rain of arrows in the city, rolling wood and stones, and a double blow, causing serious casualties to the Yan army, however, Ju Wentai led the troops and did not have the slightest idea of evacuating.
Now, the Yan army of Xicheng is coming, and I don't know the number of opponents, the two Yan armies must be combined inside and outside, and the internal and external attacks will make the Song army even worse.
Tian Xu hoped that the Song cavalry would come back to help, not only did not appear, but was intercepted by the right wing of the Yan army, and now, under the onslaught of Emperor Yan and Cao Aman, the distance from the north gate is getting farther and farther away, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
"Lord Tian, the Yan army is menacing, hurry up and evacuate from the south gate!" The Yan army was like ants, rushing up from the ground to the corridor of the city wall, and gradually formed a state of encirclement of the Song army.
Li Mu knew that this revenge did not succeed, but fell into the bottom of the plan, at this moment, the Yan army attacked fiercely, and the only way to quickly transfer the east gate along the city wall walkway, transfer the south gate from the east gate, and lead the troops to escape.
Otherwise, the Yan army killed the aisle and blocked the way for the Song army to escape, and he and Tian Xu became prisoners of the Yan army.
Soon, Liu Zhuoya was captured by Yan Junsheng and imprisoned in the dark cell of Yanjing, Li Mu didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was captured by Yan Junsheng and had a mortal enmity with Emperor Yan.
However, when Tian Xu heard the voice, his expression was firm, and he had no idea of evacuating, and said loudly: "General Li, this official will never evacuate, the city is in the people, and the city is dead."
The empress sent them to run the northern part of the Song Kingdom, and had great hopes for them.
Now, the first Xiongguan in the north of the Song Kingdom is about to be lost, and they are ashamed of the empress's expectations, if they lead the army to abandon the city and flee, what will be the face of the empress to return to life.
Tian Xu not only said this to Li Mu, but also grabbed the sword on his body and shouted wildly to the Song army: "The whole army is defending to the death, the city is in the people, and the city is dead."
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead."
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
Song Jun shouted in unison, his voice was loud and full of murderous aura.
For a while, the more momentum was like a rainbow, and he launched a wild attack on the Yan army.
The longbow fires, the rolling wood and stones are heavily damaged, and the war knife is drawn to fight against the approaching Yan army.
In an instant, the north gate was reduced to Shura hell, the corpses of the Yan and Song armies were about to surge, the bright red blood flowed from the bluestone of the city wall, the Yan army was shot by the rain of arrows and fell to the ground in the middle of the march, the Song army on the city wall, encountered a crossbow shot, when the arrow was hit, there were also Song troops who fell from the city wall and smashed to the ground.
The two armies of Yan and Song fought fiercely, Li Mu looked at it, and couldn't help but scold Tian Xu: "What a stubborn donkey!"
It's just that Tian Xu doesn't evacuate, he leads the army to evacuate, which will make Tian Xu and the Song army even worse, even if they return to the Song Kingdom safely, it will also arouse the empress's suspicion.
In addition, in tonight's battle, the cavalry he trained hard may all be lost in the hands of the Yan army, he has been defeated repeatedly, and he has lost the reputation of a famous general, and he will return to Kaifeng, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be reused by the empress.
Li Mu was ruthless, shook his head, and dispelled the idea of evacuation, what Tian Xu said was true, the city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the people are dead, there is no big deal.
Lang Sheng said to the guards behind him: "Don't worry about General Ben, block the Yan army all!" If the Yan army doesn't kill it, General Ben is in a very safe situation."
When more than ten guards heard this, they still left two to protect Li Mu, and the rest of the guards, armed with war knives, rushed straight to the Yan army.
At the north gate, Ju Wentai led the troops into the city and met Huangpu Xuan, who commanded the Yan army to fight, and Huangpu Xuan said loudly: "General Ju, the Song army stubbornly resisted by virtue of the terrain, and our army only had 10,000 people, so continue to assist the general."
Hearing this, Ju Wentai was speechless, and waved his sword to the Yan cavalry on all sides and ordered: "The whole army enters the city, forms an arrow array in the city, and shoots the Song army in the corridor."
The Song army stubbornly guarded the main road of the city wall, Luo Da led the troops to attack for a long time, Ju Wentai's heart was like a mirror, Luo Da was such a fierce general, with a blade soldier could not take the city, he led the troops for fear that it would not be realized.
In addition, the entrance to the city wall was narrow, and the army flocked to the top, on the contrary, it was easier to be killed by the Song army's arrow rain.
At this moment, with the help of the arrow array, shooting the Song army from below, even if it can't be broken quickly, it can also reduce the number of Song troops and help Luo Da reduce the difficulty of attacking.
Hearing the sound of the Yan cavalry following Ju Wentai's battle, he quickly rode his horse and galloped, turned around in the city, faced the north gate, raised the crossbow in his hand, filled the broken arrow, and his expression was filled with cold light.
Ju Wentai looked at it, his face was firm, without the slightest hesitation, he waved the ring knife and shouted wildly: "Shoot, shoot!"
The sound of the rain of arrows buzzed, as if Huang Feng was crossing the border, and the sound vibrated in his ears.
A dense rain of arrows flew out from under the city wall, like a downpour, and hit the Song army inside the city wall.
In the fierce battle, Tian Xu and Li Mu heard the sound from the city wall, Li Mu had been in battle for a long time, and for the first time, he knew what was born, his face was panicked, and he couldn't help but push the wheelchair to transfer, and shouted to the enemy Song army: "Be careful of the Yan army's arrow formation."
The words fell, the arrow rain snorted, poofed, stabbed into the body of Song Jun, who was too late to react, and in an instant, the ghost cried wolf in the corridor of the city wall, and the miserable sound was miserable.
Many of the Song soldiers who were hit by arrows, in a pool of blood, survived by luck, hid under the battlements of the wall, and did not dare to move, for fear of being killed by the continuous rain of arrows under the city wall.
