Chapter 218: Take the East Gate
Li Gengyun saw that Ma Wenlong's state at this time seemed to be much lower than the previous state, and at the same time, a quarter of an hour had passed, and He Jin still did not open the city gate, which showed that he had encountered strong resistance, so Li Gengyun arranged for Huaishui Sanding to go to help.
After receiving the order, the three of them rushed directly to the city tower, originally Ma Wenlong was already a little struggling, but when he saw Huaishui Sanding coming up, he was surprised and happy: "You don't protect Mr. Li?!" ”
"Li Xian's life, I will help General Ma! I'll wait and kill the enemy! Open the city gates, otherwise Fang Tong's reinforcements will arrive! ”
"Good!"
Ding Yao and the three of them formed a battle formation, and as soon as they arrived at the top of the city tower, they launched a massacre, and the three of them each controlled the saber in their hands, and Ma Wenlong, who was originally on the defensive, could also let go of his hands and feet at this time, and at the same time felt the pain from the wound on his arm, and also tore off a piece of blood cloth, directly wrapped the wound, and ran towards one of the corridors. The three brothers of the Ding family rushed towards another corridor, and screams soon came from within the two corridors.
The battle on the city tower went very smoothly, after Huaishui Sanding joined the battle, and Ma Wenlong quickly killed most of the soldiers stationed in the corridor, and the remaining soldiers couldn't help but be terrified when they saw so many dead and wounded brothers, and the most important thing was that the captain of the garrison and other officers in charge of guarding had already died, and the dragons were leaderless, they were like a mess, and they were killed by Ma Wenlong and them at will, and finally some of the guards were unable to bear such fear, and finally threw away their weapons, knelt down, and surrendered to Ma Wenlong.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"I surrendered, we surrendered!"
More than half of the 1,000 guards in charge of guarding the tower were killed, the city was full of corpses, and on the steps of the tower, blood was flowing incessantly, and many of the soldiers kneeling on the ground actually hid their faces and wept.
"Throw your weapons out of the city! Otherwise, the head falls to the ground! ”
Ma Wenlong shouted angrily, which also startled the guards, who had already made up their minds to surrender, and stood up one after another, throwing the weapons in their hands outside the city tower.
And Huaishui Sanding did not stop, jumped off the city tower directly, and went to help He Jin.
"General He, I'll come and help you!"
"Who wants your help?"
He Jin was also a little annoyed when he saw Ding Yao and the three brothers who came suddenly, but he thought that this should be Li Gengyun's order, so he just said it angrily, and continued to attack the soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Mr. Li hopes to be able to open the city gate as soon as possible, otherwise Fang Tong's reinforcements will arrive!"
"Got it!"
The three brothers of the Ding family soon joined the battle, and at the same time they conveyed Li Gengyun's order, He Jin also knew that he had spent a little time here, almost half an hour had passed, and there were nearly two thousand elite Xiangzhou army guarding the city gate, looking at their appearance of not being afraid of death, they were also a little annoyed in their hearts, it was these people who prevented him from opening the city gate.
"Kill!"
With Ding Yao and their joining, He Jin was much less stressed at this time, and soon, the four of them controlled the situation, and at the same time, there were more and more corpses lying on the ground, and only a thousand Xiangzhou army elites were still struggling to support, they knew that what was about to usher in them was He Jin's fierce attack from Huaishui Sanding, and the threat of death was approaching step by step.
"Brothers, guard the gate, the general's reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"Yes!"
The situation on the battlefield has changed, originally they surrounded and suppressed He Jin, but now they can only hold on, not taking the initiative to attack He Jin and them, just holding a knife to block the city gate, not letting He Jin open the city gate.
"Kill!"
He Jin knew at this time that time was waiting for no one, and Li Gengyun had already sent all the three brothers of the Ding family who were originally used to protect him, so the situation must be very urgent, so he had to fight quickly.
After a roar, He Jin led the three brothers of the Ding family to rush directly towards the city gate.
Outside the city, Li Gengyun saw that on the top of the city tower, many soldiers threw their weapons from the city tower, and Ma Wenlong was very mighty with a big sword, standing in the position of the city tower guard, reporting the situation to himself: "Mr. Li, the East Gate Tower has been broken!" ”
"Go up to the castle!"
When Li Gengyun heard Ma Wenlong's report, he said to Zhao Ziyi and Bai Luojun beside him: "Help me!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Ziyi and Bai Luojun have not participated in the war, they are conserving their physical strength, according to Li Gengyun's calculations, from the siege to the support of Fang Tong's army, it will take half an hour at the earliest. What's more, it is just the end of the shift change, and those soldiers who have changed shifts are already tired and have already returned to the camp to rest, and it will take at least an hour to mobilize them and notify the external ambush troops. It was impossible for Fang Tong to come alone, he must have come with a large army, and of course there would be that Gonggong Liu and the battle seal master of Yundu Mountain.
The reason why Li Gengyun wanted the three brothers of the Ding family to join the battle was to take down the East Gate as soon as possible, so that he would have more time to set up at the East Gate.
The progress on the city tower was very smooth, Ma Wenlong quickly controlled the situation after the three brothers of the Ding family joined the battle, and successfully occupied the city tower, but the city gate was still not opened, and the three brothers of the Ding family had also joined the battle, which showed that those soldiers were also delayed, waiting, waiting for Fang Tong's reinforcements.
Zhao Ziyi and Bai Luojun set up Li Gengyun, and then got up at the same time and jumped onto the city tower.
"Shhh
Li Gengyun stepped on the only free step on the city tower, because he was not prepared when he landed, he felt his breath stagnate, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and back, but fortunately, the martial arts were still able to protect it, otherwise I am afraid he would not be able to support it.
"Is Mr. Li okay?!"
"Unharmed, unharmed!"
"Mr. Li, fortunately not disgraced!"
When Ma Wenlong saw that Li Gengyun was put on the city tower by Zhao Ziyi and Bai Luojun, he also reported to Li Gengyun: "Four hundred and twenty-seven soldiers have been surrendered!" Please Mr. Li drop! ”
"Those who descend will not be killed, besides, they are all my Great Song people, you are just bewitched by Fang Tong. Knowing your mistakes can make a difference! Li Gengyun shouted to the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and surrendering, "Go and collect your brother's corpse inside the city gate!" ”
"Yes!"
At the same time, He Jin, who was shirtless and covered in blood, as well as the three brothers of the Ding family, and the four of them walked up from under the city tower at the same time, and they arched their hands at Li Gengyun and said, "Brother Yun (Mr. Li), the city gate has been blocked by corpses!" ”
"yes, got it!"
Li Gengyun nodded, he knew that Fang Tong's army ambushed at the east gate would only be around the city gate, because Xiangyang City did not have a trestle bridge to hide troops, so the only place where he could hide troops was the deep city gate. After the battle just now, the gate of the east gate has now been blocked by corpses, and He Jin is almost about to feel exhausted, and his panting voice is much thicker than before.
