Chapter 1003 Double Happiness Comes to the Door and Captures Mocheng
Tonight, the city of Mexico is in crisis!
Perhaps it is an unprecedented crisis in the 600-year history of the city. (8) Ω (1) 8⒈
The Yan army is approaching the city, and the army always has the opportunity to break through the city gate and break into the city.
At this moment, Hou Mingfeng led the army to storm the North Gate, and the North Gate was in crisis.
Fan Changming and Lin Dongsheng led the army, and the east gate where Wang Hongyan fought was even more crisis.
Wang Hongyan, the lord of the city, personally led his troops to defend the city, but he still couldn't parry Fan Changming and led the battle-hardened Yan army to attack.
In particular, Fan Changming led by example, leading the troops to the top of the city, raising and falling with swords in his hands, opening and closing, and fighting to the death with Cai's army.
When the number of Yan troops was weak, Fan Changming still led the Yan army and opened up a bloody road.
In the chaos, the Yan army under the city continued to climb the city wall, and the situation at the head of the city gradually opened up, showing in the direction that was not conducive to the Cai army.
Wang Hongyan continued to mobilize the defenders of the North Gate, but he was still unable to turn things around and expel the Yan army at the head of the city.
What's worse, the roof leak happened to be rainy, and in the fierce battle, a Cai soldier, along the corridor of the city wall, ran from the south gate and came towards the east gate.
Luckily avoided the decisive Yan army, and risked his life in the corridor of the battle-filled city wall to find Wang Hongyan's traces.
The spy held a sword and quickly approached Wang Hongyan, while dealing with the Yan army approaching on all sides, he said to Wang Hongyan in a hurry: "General, the crisis of the West Gate, the Yan army has broken through, and a large number of cavalry have broken into the West Gate with great momentum, and they will kill along the street in the direction of the palace." ”
The words fell, and the spies didn't have time to wait for Wang Hongyan's orders, and two or three Yan soldiers wearing iron armor on the opposite side broke through the defense line of the Cai army in front, and in the chaos of the army, they fought with the spies who came forward to block them.
"Block them, block them!"
Wang Hongyan was digesting the information from the spies, and suddenly witnessed the Yan army coming, hurriedly roared, and forcibly ordered the Cai army around him to block the Yan army.
Not long ago, the Yan army attacked the city wall of the East Gate and forcibly broke in, Wang Hongyan was worried and worried about the situation at the West Gate.
It's a pity that I didn't expect that the Yan army was fierce, and the West Gate was broken by the Yan army in the blink of an eye.
Subconsciously ask the spy; "Ximen, who is the leader of the Yan army!"
But he noticed that the spies who came to report the news, fought with the Yan army, and hurriedly stepped forward with a sword to rescue!
A sword stabbed out, pushed away Yan Jun's crazy knife, dragged the spy back three or five steps, and hid in Cai Jun!
In fact, who the Yan army captured the city gate was not important to Wang Hongyan.
He was at the east gate, his doppelganger was weak, and he had no power to return to the situation at the west gate.
However, the Yan army was menacing, and there were many elite soldiers.
In the spies' report, the general of the Yan army led the troops to break into the west gate and rushed to the palace, so he had to understand the generals of the Yan army!
If an ordinary general leads his troops to capture the West Gate, he may fight in the alleys of the city, and if the famous general of the Yan army leads the army to capture, the other party goes straight to the palace.
Then, Cao Rong, who is in the palace, is bound to fall into a crisis, no matter whether Mocheng can hold it or not, he should lead the army and rescue the emperor first.
It's a pity that the Yan army attacked the West Gate, the lightning was too fast, the West Gate was broken, the cavalry broke into the city, the situation was chaotic, how could the spies understand the situation of the West Gate.
When questioned, the spy looked blank.
Witnessing the spout's face, Wang Hongyan's heart was like a mirror, and he didn't say more, the West Gate was lost, and a large number of Yan troops inevitably rushed into the city.
It doesn't matter who leads the troops, what he should do is to protect the emperor.
Wang Hongyan pondered for a while, and hurriedly said to the guards: "Quickly send someone to inform the emperor, transfer immediately, and evacuate Mocheng!" ”
Among the four gates, the west gate was breached, the Yan army of the east gate rushed up, the north gate caught fire, and Mocheng was completely in crisis.
Wang Hongyan did not believe that with 100,000 Cai troops, when there were many casualties and the defenders were less than 100,000, the Cai army had the ability to turn the tide and block the momentum like Hongyan's army.
When the guards heard this, they didn't take the order and turned to leave, but asked Wang Hongyan: "General, the emperor is evacuated, what should I do with the Yan army of the East Gate?" ”
The city of Mocheng was broken, and to protect the emperor's evacuation, a large number of defenders must be assisted, otherwise, he would not want to escape from the iron hooves of the Yan army.
What's more, there are only 2,000 pro-soldiers in the palace, these people, who have never been on the battlefield, how can they have the strength to flee in front of the murderous Yan army, let alone protect the emperor and leave.
In addition, there is no difference between protecting the emperor and fleeing from the city, and the defenders of the four gates of Mocheng will not have to fight to the death.
Hearing this, Wang Hongyan shook his head and sorted out his chaotic thoughts.
The Yan army stormed into the city and captured the outside of the city, and the first goal was definitely to capture the emperor alive.
After a little contemplation, Wang Hongyan could send a message to the general: "Inform the defenders of the East Gate, leave 20,000 people, quickly retreat into the alleys of the city, block all the passages of the Yan army to the palace, and the rest of the soldiers will go to the palace with this general, and quickly rescue the emperor!" ”
The Yan army broke through the West Gate, and the defenders fought fiercely with it, but Mocheng was still unable to be preserved.
Wang Hongyan is not unclear, at present, the only way is to quickly dispatch the army to the palace to rescue the emperor.
The army was defeated, Cai Jun could not defend Mocheng to the death, and lived up to Cao Rong's expectations, so he could only sacrifice his life to protect Cao Rong and evacuate to the south.
Delay time, seize the opportunity, if there is a chance to unite with the Wu and Yue army, that is, the Three Kingdoms coalition forces will counterattack back and strive to change the current situation.
The Cai army at the east gate was evacuated, the Cai army at the west gate was scattered, and the war at the north gate was in full swing.
The Yan army spent a lot of money, and finally, the siege engine passed through the gun forest and reached the bottom of the north gate.
After the fire, the north gate was dilapidated and precarious, and there were signs of collapse at any time.
During the violent impact of the siege vehicles, burning planks fell from time to time at the north gate.
However, on the city wall, Li Anheng still led the army to fight back fiercely, as if he was sworn to block the Yan army from the north gate.
"General, the defenders of the North Gate are very tenacious!" Zhang Yansong and Hou Mingfeng led the army under their tent and waited for the north gate to be hit by the siege vehicle, and at that time, the Yan army would kill it!
However, the north gate city wall continued to shoot and kill, and many Yan Qi, who were close to the city wall, suffered from skin and flesh, and some even died on the spot.
The tenacity of this defender was unexpected.
"The north gate is about to be breached, no matter how tenacious it is, it will be the end of the crossbow after all!" Hou Mingfeng's fingers clasped the handle of the knife, and there was a creaking sound, and he said sharply.
The north gate is in the four city gates of Mocheng, the defense is the most tight, in order to capture the north gate, nearly a thousand Yan cavalry were injured and died in battle.
Hou Mingfeng secretly made up his mind that once the city was broken, he would inevitably slaughter the Cai army at the North Gate and not give the other party a way out.
During the verbal conversation, there was a rumbling drum sound over the east gate, which was compact and powerful, as if it was encouraging the soldiers to fight.
Hearing the sound, Hou Mingfeng couldn't guess what the drum meant.
However, soon a swallow horse appeared to solve his doubts.
Under the firmament, in the east of Mocheng, an iron horseman moved quickly in the grass, and it didn't take long to appear below Mocheng.
Riding a horse to the cover of Hou Ming, the cavalry raised his legs and jumped off the horse, full of energy, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Report to the general, the east gate was broken by General Fan, and the defenders of Mocheng withdrew on all fronts and headed towards the inner city." ”
After the Dongmen spies finished reporting, when Hou Mingfeng had not yet made a decision, the Ximen Yanjun spies also arrived on horseback.
With a smile on his face, he also reported to Hou Mingfeng: "Report to the general, the West Gate was broken by our army, General Hou, General Zhang, led the army, approached the city, and pursued the Cai army to the death." ”
Bang!
At this time, the north gate happened to be hit by the siege vehicle, and it collapsed with a bang, and there was a rumbling sound, sparks splashing everywhere, and dust flying.
Witnessing the collapse of the North Gate, Hou Mingfeng was ecstatic, his main attack point was at the North Gate, but Fan Changming, Hou Yanxu and other generals took the lead in breaking through the east and west gates.
The Yan army broke into Mocheng, the north gate was tightly guarded, he had no need to lead the army at all, wasted excess at the north gate, turned his head to the deputy general Zhang Yansong, and said: "General Zhang, you personally go to the Shuai tent and inform the emperor of the good news, in addition, remind the emperor to send General Feng to lead the troops to block the south gate quickly to prevent Cai Jun from escaping from the south gate!" ”
"General, the north gate is open, why do you want to go far?" When Zhang Yansong heard this, he didn't understand Hou Mingfeng's arrangement.
The north gate was breached, and they had 10,000 swallow horsemen under their tent, but they rushed directly into the north gate like a wolf and a tiger to avenge the dead and wounded brothers!
Why did the general abandon the North Gate?
"The Cai army at the north gate is stubborn, besides, in the direction of the west gate, General Ju Wentai is holding back the Yu poor army corps, and there is no news yet, if you want to capture Mocheng, you must ensure that the Yu poor army army cannot come to the rescue." Hou Ming sealed: "The east and west gates of Mocheng were broken, and the capture of Mocheng was like probing for things, but it was not possible to underestimate the enemy, and the general personally led the army to the west gate to ensure that General Ju Wentai was worry-free, at that time, this battle will be won!" ”
Yu Poor soldiers are cunning, the soldiers under his account are fearless, Ju Wentai leads 50,000 Yan troops, whether they can contain the soldiers and legions of equal strength, there is no letter at present!
Hou Mingfeng, as the main general of the siege, the current Yan army easily broke through Mocheng, and he needed to ensure that Mocheng did not have any rescue.
If Ju Wentai steadily contained Yu Qianbing, everything would be fine, and if Yu Qiaobing showed signs of getting rid of Ju Wentai's corps, he took the opportunity to lead the troops and thwart Yu Qiaobing's conspiracy.
Hearing this, Zhang Yansong didn't say much, and led two cronies to ride their horses to the north.
At this time, Hou Mingfeng raised his hand knife, ordered the guards to beat the drums, quickly gather troops, and give up continuing to attack the north gate.
Instead, he took more than 8,000 iron horsemen and headed towards the west gate, preparing to take care of Ju Wentai, or break into the palace and capture Cao Rong alive.
At this moment, the West Gate was already lit with the flames of war, waiting for Yan Xu, Zhang Guodong led the army to capture the West Gate, and Ju Wentai led the army to contain the troops under the account of Yu Poor.
The Great War is in full swing!
When the battle of Ximen began, Yu Qiaobing seemed to see through the conspiracy of the Yan army, and hurriedly led his troops to Ximen, hoping to resolve the crisis in Mocheng.
However, Lin Feng was good at employing people, and deliberately arranged for Ju Wentai, a former famous general of Liang State, to lead 50,000 Yan cavalry to contain Yu Qian's soldiers.
Specializes in restraining Yu Qiaobing, an outstanding general of the military family!
Yu Qianbing is an important leader of the military family and is good at using soldiers, but Ju Wentai has been fighting for decades and has made a name for himself in the vassal states, and he is not a vegetarian.
Therefore, Yu Poor had the idea of leading the troops to resolve the crisis in Mocheng, but unfortunately he fought with Ju Wentai and was full of strategies, but he still never got rid of Ju Wentai's legion.
When Hou Mingfeng led the troops to the West Gate, he witnessed the battle several miles away, and the West Gate was still under the control of the Yan army, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
