Chapter 160: Rescue (2)
"Knock knock!"
"Kill!"
In the sound of the fierce war drums, the sound of killing outside Hekou Town shook the sky, and several thousand-strong phalanxes of Xue Ju's army were launching a fierce assault on the city wall of Hekou Town.
On the city wall, the three Ruan brothers led tens of thousands of defenders to resist the attack of Xue Jujun's army, and fought fiercely in Hekou Town.
The two armies have been holding each other for many days, each with casualties, and the casualties of the besieging side Xue Jujun are even greater.
"Stomp, stomp!"
In Bailu City, a group of Xue Jujun soldiers were walking through the streets and heading towards the north gate, led by the former commander of the Liangshan Army, the bantam tiger Wang Ying.
"Brother Yue, according to the news from our people, Xue Ju's army was fiercely sniped by the three Ruan brothers in Hekou Town, and the losses were extremely heavy, and the following army is probably going to support Xue Ju!" In the inn wing where Wang Yue and the five people were, looking at Wang Ying's department who hurriedly left the city below, Zhuo Yundao, who had always spoken the most among the five.
"I didn't expect that the three Ruan brothers still had some ability, and they could resist the fierce attack of Xue Ju's 30,000 troops with 3,000 sailors and a few newly recruited militiamen."
Wang Yue's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise when he heard this, the three Ruan brothers have always been known for their water stations in the Liangshan army, but they didn't expect that this ability to defend the city was not weak.
Song Chao, Cheng Dan, and Zhuo Yun also nodded yes one after another, and they were amazed by the sudden outbreak of the combat power of the three Ruan brothers, but Leng Jing's eyes flashed a little thoughtfully.
However, because Leng Jing has always been relatively cold and has few words, Wang Yue and the four of them did not notice any difference in his expression.
In fact, not only Wang Yue and other outsiders who were dozens of miles away were surprised by the combat power displayed by the three Ruan brothers, but even the three Ruan brothers who were leading the troops against Xue Ju in Hekou Town were also confused about the direction of the battle.
On April 21, the third year of the Great Dispute, the three Ruan brothers of the Liangshan Army raised troops from Fangshan Town, and raised 3,000 sailors under their command, playing the banner of "eliminating treachery and rebelliousness, saving the king", and publicly broke with the Xue father and son.
At first, when they raised an army to resist, they were ready to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, after all, what they were good at was the water station, and there was no big chance of winning with 3,000 against tens of thousands of Xue Jujun's army.
But who knew that the battle situation was surprisingly smooth, and where the battle began, the three brothers listened to Xie Zhe's opinion, that is, the person who held the Chao Gai token to send them the letter that day.
The 3,000 sailors traced the river upstream, took the defenders of the plains, estuary, and Xiaxi by surprise, and attacked the three towns in less than 3 days.
After taking the three towns, the three brothers quickly erected a new army in the city, and the ringers gathered, and found a lot of ordnance and equipment in the treasury of the three towns, and the size of the army under their command soon exceeded 10,000 people.
On April 26, Xue Ju, who learned that the three Ruan brothers had raised troops, quickly gathered an army of 30,000 and set out from Bai Lu City to conquer and suppress.
The progress of the battle surprised the three Ruan brothers, who were already determined to live and die, and the recruits who were expected to be vulnerable did not need their command at all to burst out with strong combat effectiveness, relying on the advantages of the city walls of Hekou Town to give Xue Jujun a head-on blow, and the first day of the battle lost nearly 3,000 men and horses, but failed to shake Hekou Town at all.
"Drive!"
"Stomp, stomp!"
On the afternoon of the day when Wang Ying led the army to support Xue Jujun, Ding Wei, the captain of the north gate of Bailu City, led 300 soldiers to rush to the front of Chaogai's mansion.
"I am Ding Wei, the captain of Beicheng, and I am here to escort Chao Gai to the front line on the order of General Xue!"
Ding Wei came to the front of Chaogai's mansion and took out his waist card to give orders to the guards guarding the mansion gate.
"This, Captain Ding, the general has a strict order on this matter, and those who do not have the general's warrant are not allowed to enter, please don't be embarrassed."
Looking at Ding Wei, who was coming with great momentum, the little school who held the door of the mansion had a different color in his eyes, and secretly took two steps back vigilantly.
"Bold, the general is leading the troops to kill the enemy on the front line, the military situation is urgent, and I can't take the time to issue a warrant, I am the captain of the North Gate, don't blame me for being unkind if you dare to stop it!"
Ding Wei directly and brutally interrupted the little school's words and said politely.
With Wang Ying leading the troops out of the city, there were only less than 5,000 people in the entire Bailu City, and Ding Wei, as the captain of the North Gate, had 1,500 soldiers and horses under his command, and he was already a powerful figure in the city.
"Captain Ding, please redeem the little one's hard work!" The colonel didn't back down.
"Good! Kill me in! ”
A hint of annoyance flashed in Ding Wei's eyes, and he pointed to Chao's mansion and ordered loudly.
"Kill!"
The 300 soldiers behind him were ordered to attack directly like the soldiers guarding Chaofu.
"Ding Wei, do you want to rebel?"
Seeing this, the little colonel guarding the gate of the mansion looked angry and frightened, pointed at Ding Weisse and said sharply, and quickly retreated to the guards behind him.
"Ding Wei rebelled, brothers killed me!"
As he retreated, the colonel turned around and shouted towards the house.
In addition to the dozens of guards guarding the gate, there are still more than 200 guards guarding the entire Chao Mansion.
Otherwise, with the strength of the middle stage of refining gods, dozens of people would not be able to trap them at all.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
Hearing the shouts of the little colonel, the guards in the mansion were quickly alarmed and rushed out to fight with Ding Wei and them.
Although the number of people under Ding Wei's command was large, he could not give full play to the advantage of numbers in the narrow space, and the originally silent Chao Mansion was instantly filled with fierce shouts and killings.
"Go to the archers!"
Looking at the soldiers under his command who were blocked in front of the mansion, Ding Wei's face sank, and with a wave of one hand, dozens of archers stepped forward.
"Put!"
"Woohoo!"
At the sound of an order, dozens of arrows were shot towards the guards in front of the mansion.
A rain of blood splattered, and more than a dozen guards fell in front of the door.
"Shoot the arrows!"
As soon as the archers under Ding Wei's command radiated a round, dozens of archers suddenly appeared from the wall and attic of Chaofu opposite, firing arrows at Ding Weijun.
"Ahh
"Ahh
For a time, the entire Chaofu was shrouded in blood mist, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
"Quick! Fast! Support the house! ”
In the tragic fighting, the personnel on both sides at the gate of the mansion were rapidly reduced, and the guards who were originally guarding the mansion quickly supported the gate of the mansion.
"Do it!"
Chao Mansion, in the courtyard where Chao Gai was imprisoned, more than a dozen guards had just left to support the gate of the mansion, and five black shadows jumped down from the attic next to the courtyard like a big bird.
"There are assassins!"
Several guards guarding in front of Chao Gai's study were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly shouted to greet them.
However, just a few of them went up quickly and fell down quickly, and in the face of the five uninvited guests who suddenly fell from the sky, they couldn't even stop a move.
"Bang!"
After quickly eliminating a few of the guards, the two kicked open the door and came inside, while the other three stood guard on the outer wall of the door.
"A few good skills, I don't know where it is sacred?"
In the study, Chao Gai sat in the room with an indifferent face, looking at the two people who entered the room, there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes, and he said loudly.
"We are under the command of the King of the South, entrusted by Wu Yong, the military advisor of your army, to come to rescue the Heavenly King, this is a token!"
This group of people is Wang Yue's five people, and the people who entered the room are Wang Yue and Leng Jing.
"Smack!"
"There are a few Laos, let's go!"
Chao Gai gently put down the teacup in his hand, got up and went out with Wang Yue and them.
