Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Breaking of the City
The night is as cool as water, and the starry sky is lightless.
A group of men and horses slowly marched through the dim night. At this moment, people are ranked, horses are bound to hooves, and military chariots are traveling at night, without sound.
Tens of thousands of troops, under the leadership of Wang Qiao, quietly approached the south gate of Tongguo.
In the faint light, you can vaguely see the shadow of the gate of the city in front of Tongguo.
Wang Qiao raised his arms, and all the soldiers immediately stopped their horses, the so-called orders and prohibitions, and the discipline was strict.
I have to say that this is an elite division.
For this night attack, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to let Li Shi lead 3,000 troops to attack from Beicheng, completely locking the enemy's attention in Beicheng.
"Blow the trumpet, siege!"
The desolate sound of the horn was extremely harsh in the dark night, and outside the city gate, Wang Qiao, who was waiting in battle, pulled out the long sword at his waist, coldly spit out the word "kill", and rushed to the south gate with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
The heavy city gate was rudely smashed open, and a wave of arrows rained down from the city gate, and the Hun soldiers guarding the gate were shot down, and the Hun soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were even more panicked.
Followed by a dull sound of footsteps, rows of black-pressed soldiers rushed to the city gate, stepping on the flames that had gradually been extinguished, and there was a burst of random shooting around, and the already chaotic Hun soldiers were suddenly in chaos.
"Kill!"
Wang Qiao raised the war knife in his hand high, shouted angrily, a group of soldiers held torches, like wolves and tigers to pounce around, the few remaining Hun soldiers in the city finally collapsed under a round of impact, and fled in the direction of the inner city in embarrassment.
Wang Qiao commanded the soldiers to pursue, and on the other hand, he opened the city gate with his soldiers and horses, and quickly occupied all important places in the city.
"Hurry up and release the signal, so as to inform the lord, we have taken Tongguo City!"
Standing in Tongguo Nancheng Tower, Wang Qiao ordered with a sword.
Hearing this, the surrounding more than ten heralds quickly took out a feather arrow, put the tip of the arrow on the fire and lit it, and then bent their bows and arrows to shoot it into the sky.
As more than a dozen feathered arrows flashing with brilliant sparks rose into the sky, Wang Qiao felt that his heart also rose and soared in the nine skies.
Now the battle situation is obvious, as long as he repels the Huns who are about to counterattack, guards the south gate to the death, and waits for Dong Zhuo to lead the army into the city, everything will be settled.
The first merit this time is none other than his King Bridge!
……
……
……
On the top of the mountain outside the north city, Dong Zhuo vaguely saw the fire at the head of the south city, and then dozens of brilliant rockets rose into the sky.
"It seems that Wang Qiao's side has succeeded!"
A strange light flashed in Dong Zhuo's deep eyes, and he was still staring at the city that was beginning to be chaotic in front of him, and he didn't look back, and said in a loud voice: "Order Ma Chao, lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately enter the city to aid Wang Qiao, before dawn, be sure to take Tongguo City!" ”
"Yes!"
A loud voice sounded behind Dong Zhuo, and then a team of ten heralds turned over their horses and galloped towards the mountain!
……
……
……
The desolate and heavy sound of the horn was unusually harsh in the darkness of the night.
"Where's the sound of the trumpet?"
The sound of the horn in the distance produced a panicked emotion in Huyan Xiutu's heart, and a bad premonition lingered in Huyan Xiutu's heart.
Lingering!
There were Hun soldiers around and hurriedly replied, "General, it seems to be the sound of a horn from Nancheng......
"Southtown ......"
Hu Yanxiu Tu was shocked and hurriedly said, "Not good! We've been tricked, come with me to support the South Gate! ”
After that, Huyan Xiutu took the scimitar in his hand, went straight down the city tower, and rushed to the south gate, the Hun soldiers behind him did not understand Huyan Xiutu's words, but they still followed Huyan Xiutu closely and rushed to the south gate.
"General, what the hell is going on?"
Most of the Hun soldiers didn't know why, and looked at the nervous Huyan Xiutu, and couldn't help asking.
Huyan Xiutu's heart had sunk to the bottom of the water at this time, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "The Han army may have entered the city from the south gate!" ”
Although Huyan Xiutu did not understand the art of war, he had heard that the Han people had a saying, called "Sound the East Strikes the West".
"What?!"
These words were tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made the Hun soldiers around Huyan Xiu Tu confused!
"The Han army has entered the city?!"
One to ten, ten to hundred!
The news of the Han army's entry into the city quickly spread throughout the Xiongnu army.
Suddenly, the Hun soldiers around Huyan Xiutu blew up the nest, and the vast majority of the Hun soldiers fell into a panic, and they didn't care about the order issued by Huyan Xiutu to go to the south gate to rescue.
Today's Xiongnu have long since ceased to be as strong as they once were.
Even in the strongest period of the Xiongnu, it was still swept across the desert by 300,000 iron cavalry of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
You don't see it, Huo Quai's attack on the city is invincible, and the Huns are sad when they lose their divisions and land, "Losing my Qilian Mountain makes my six animals restless; Losing my Yanzhi Mountain makes my wife colorless! ”
And now, the powerful Xiongnu has long ceased to exist, first expelled from the desert by the Xianbei people, and can only rely on the former strong enemy Han, guarding the gate for it, and survive!
The strength of the Xiongnu has long been a myth, and the Great Han, at least on the surface, is still in full swing!
When the Hun soldiers met the Han army, they were more afraid from the bottom of their hearts!
Disorderly!
Confusion!
At sixes and sevens!
Thousands of soldiers were plunged into unprecedented fear, and all this was no longer what they expected.
And the Han army broke the city, for them, it was tantamount to the end of the world!
When Huyan Xiutu was anxious to rush to the south gate to support, he found that the entire Xiongnu army was completely chaotic.
Tens of millions of Hun soldiers are running back and forth like headless flies, more Hun soldiers are roaring in the sky like wild beasts, and many Hun soldiers are either stupid and giggling, or hugging their heads and crying, and even a very small number of Hun soldiers are taking the opportunity to make trouble, wantonly chasing and killing the officials of Paoze, who usually have grudges with them.
The whole camp is in chaos!
Many people looked excited, but their eyes were clearly glazed.
In fact, many people's minds are blank now, they don't know what they're doing, they just run on instinct, they are roaring, they are slashing!
A terrifying and abnormal word suddenly appeared in Huyan Xiutu's mind.
Bomb the camp!
This is the bombing camp that is taboo for all Han generals!
Standing in the cold wind, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, he knew that as long as one was not handled well, the 30,000 Huns in the city would be doomed, and there would be no place to bury him!
The only thing that made Huyan Xiutu feel fortunate was that his 500 personal soldiers did not bomb the camp.
At the same time, Huyan Xiutu was also glad that this group of rebels did not flee in all directions!
Once the rebels are routed and fled, it will be more difficult for him to gather these soldiers and horses back than to ascend to the sky.
What's more, at this time, there are countless Han troops eyeing inside and outside the city!
