Chapter 177: Chengdu Three Battalions
The battle in front of Shihu Pass has begun, and the siege vanguard of the Great Liang Army, under the cover of shield bearers and archers, quickly approached the Guanlou, and soon came to the bottom of the tower. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shihu Pass is not too high, only more than two zhang, the general ladder is enough for the soldiers to climb up to the top of the city, when Hao Yin commanded the siege troops to set up ladders to climb the city tower, the guards on the entire city tower seemed to be extremely panicked, shouted more than once, and began to shoot down from the top of the city tower with bows and arrows.
But where can these chaotic random shoots compare to the well-trained elite archers in the Yi soldiers, under the powerful counterattack of the archers, the soldiers on the head of the city were suddenly shot down a large number, and some of the remaining archers no longer dared to show their heads rashly, seeing that the vanguard was about to climb the tower.
Hao Yin's heart was very happy, the guards of Shihu Pass were really very loose, and it seemed that it would not take much effort to conquer them.
At this moment, the mutation protruded, a loud military horn sounded from the top of the city tower, resounding through the sky, and then, countless Ming army flags suddenly rose above the city tower, waving in the wind, and countless soldiers with guns and armor also appeared above the city head, densely crowded the entire city tower.
"......Boom" a few loud sounds, the Ming army on the city tower began to attack the Liang army climbing the city with stones, rolling wood, several ladders were also pushed down under the attack of the Ming army, countless Liang troops fell down from the ladder, instantly fell into the pulp.
Hao Yin was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that the Ming army was so insidious, and he actually left a hand and attacked later. But at this moment, he was strong and strong, how could he give up easily, and immediately ordered in a loud voice, saying: "Kill, take Shihu Pass for me, and rush for me." ”
Under his urging, the soldiers of the Liang army, whose offensive was blocked, stabilized the formation again, protected the remaining ladders, and climbed with all their might, and soon someone climbed to the head of Shihu Pass.
"Bang bang bang", in the smoke of gunpowder, some Liang soldiers were beaten and fell from the top of the city, and the Ming army began to counterattack with firearms.
Yu Chongming, who had been keeping an eye on the battle situation from afar, was a little uncertain, it stands to reason that the guards of Shihu Pass were lax, and he should be able to capture it in one fell swoop. However, the current situation was greatly unexpected to him, the Ming army actually showed weakness at first, and when they attacked the city, they suddenly began to fight back violently. Could it be that Zhu Xieyuan's elite soldiers have not been transferred out of this pass?
He was constantly thinking about it, and he hesitated for a moment, whether he should continue to attack this pass, or temporarily retreat and find another way?
"Strategist, what do you think?" Instead, he turned his head and asked Wen Daonan, after all, Wen Daonan was an official of the Ming Dynasty, so he could know some about the situation of the Ming army, and he knew the practices of the Ming army generals better than him.
"This ......" Wen Daonan frowned and thought about it, and only said after a while, "In Yichen's opinion, this is just the dying struggle of the Ming army's poor donkey skills!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Extravagant Chongming's constricted pupils widened slightly, and a fine light shot towards Wen Daonan.
Wen Daonan stroked his goat's whiskers and replied: "According to the information that our army discovered earlier, the elite troops under Zhu Xieyuan have been transferred to northern Sichuan to quell the rebellion, and what he can rely on now is Li Weixin's Xulu army and Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers; And Zhu Xieyuan's plan to lure us to the decisive battle in Changning has been seen through by us, and our army has launched a surprise attack on Shihu Pass, presumably he must not have time to save the class. After a pause, he continued, "The minister thought that the current sudden counterattack of the Ming army was just a delaying plan of the general defending the city, he saw that our army was attacking the city, and he knew that it was difficult to resist, so he deliberately retreated into the city, trying to rely on sophisticated firearms to defend it, and all this is just a desperate struggle in vain, as long as our army bravely attacked the city, even if Shihu Pass is an iron wall, it can't hold much time. ”
Luxury Chongming was silent for a while when he heard this, and said after a while: "It makes sense, this must be the Ming army's suspicious formation, trying to delay us, it seems that they are no longer able to defend the city, what they are doing now is just the last struggle, trying to drag Zhu Xieyuan's reinforcements to arrive." Turning to the herald, he shouted, "Send the order to Yin'er, be sure to take Shihu Pass in the shortest possible time." ”
As soon as the military order of the Ming Dynasty was given, the second batch of siege troops of the Great Liang Army also began to approach the city tower, and the entire Liang Army formation also slowly pressed towards Shihu Pass, which had the potential to raze it in one fell swoop.
On the top of the city tower, Zhu Xieyuan, who had been scanning the battlefield, saw that the Liang army was pressing on it vigorously, and finally showed a pleased smile, and said to Li Weixin: "General Li, the opportunity to break the rebels has come, you immediately give the order and let Lu Shiqing lead the troops to attack from the flank, you lead the troops to pursue from the city, give me a fight to the death, don't let go of a rebel general." ”
"No!" Li Weixin responded with a fist.
Just when Hao Yin was commanding the second group of siege troops to attack the city, he suddenly saw a rocket from the city tower, which went straight into the sky, and with a "bang", it exploded in mid-air, shining brightly.
Yu Chongming was puzzled, the Ming army in front of him seemed to be gradually unable to support it, as long as they worked harder, Shihu Pass would definitely go down, but now they actually sent a signal, what does this mean, ask for help? Who can get them at this time?
At this moment, in the distance on the right, suddenly smoke and dust billowed out, and then the sound of hooves was faintly heard, and it seemed that countless cavalry were galloping from that side.
When Yu Chongming was frightened, a scout Pegasus suddenly came to report and shouted: "Oh no, King Liang, there are thousands of ambush soldiers on the right, and they are killing our army, it seems that it is the three battalions of men and horses in Chengdu." ”
"What?" Yu Chongming was almost frightened and fell off the horse, stared at the scout, and said, "Can you see clearly, is it indeed the third battalion in Chengdu?" ”
"The subordinates can see it very clearly, judging from the banner and armor, it is clearly the Zhenxiong camp led by Lu Shiqing."
"How is this possible?" Extravagant Chongming's heart shook wildly, could it be that he had fallen into the Ming army's plan again this time, and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, order all battalions, quickly retreat, and order the Zal Department to stay behind." With that, Le turned his horse's head and led many of his henchmen to the direction of the bluestone cliff.
But at this moment, it is too late to retreat, and the elite troops of the Liang army have already crowded in front of Shihu Pass, how can they retreat. The counterattack above the city head was even more violent, and countless rockets and fire oil slanted down from the city tower, turning the bottom of the tower into a sea of fire. Lu Shiqing's Zhenxiong camp also quickly rushed to the right flank of the Liang army, rushed down from the hillside, and killed the Liang army that began to retreat.
"Boom", the gate of Shihu Pass also opened at this time, Li Weixin was the first to ride out of the horse, towards the Liang army, and shouted, "Break the rebels, just today, the soldiers, capture luxury Chongming." ”
"Kill", behind him, countless soldiers rushed out and rushed towards the vanguard of Hao Yin.
"Good time." Seeing that the Ming army actually rushed out of the pass, Hao Yin felt unbearable and walked towards Li Weixin, who came at the head.
And his Abba Chongming, at this moment, has been surrounded by many generals, began to flee south, at this moment his heart is hated and annoyed, he didn't expect to be deceived by Zhu Xieyuan's guy this time, so it seems that Hu Bo, the military advisor who came to Tianpeng Cave early in the morning to deliver the news of the White Lotus Sect's uprising, is clearly a spy sent by Zhu Xieyuan.
It's a pity that he mistakenly blamed Yang Lin, who came to surrender to Baishi Mountain City, and actually treated that Ming army spy as a guest.
When he returned to Tianpeng Cave, the first thing he did was to take Sun Yueling to sacrifice the flag, which was the only thought in his heart at the moment.
……
In a blood-red light and shadow, Fan Hu turned into a blood-red life-seeking demon, constantly approaching Sun Yueling.
"Whew", while his heart was shaken and he hadn't come back to his senses, Fan Hu's glaive knife picked up an arc-shaped trajectory in the air, slashing down towards Sun Yueling's neck, and wanted to cut him off in a different place.
Sun Yueling stood in front of the forest, hanging his head, as if he was unaware of this fatal knife, and saw that the knife was less than a foot away from his neck.
At this critical juncture, Mu Wan behind him suddenly screamed, pulled out the fallen long sword from the dirt beside him, leaned forward, and stabbed straight towards Fan Hu's heart.
If Fan Hu was injured, he could naturally kill Sun Yueling, but he was unwilling to do so - now that he was already winning, no matter how much the rebellious Han army resisted, there was only one way to die, and he couldn't afford to be injured at this time.
Fan Hu roared, the long knife turned into a sweep, and with one sword, Mu Wan's long sword was shaken away, and then flew up with a kick, hitting Mu Wan in the chest, kicking her to vomit blood and throw her down, the long knife pointed at Mu Wan obliquely, and said angrily: "Slut, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you." His eyes showed a cruel and tyrannical look, and the long knife in his hand slashed towards Mu Wan, who fell to the ground.
"Fan Hu, take your life!" Suddenly, with a loud shout, Sun Yueling had already jumped up, and the spear turned into lightning and stabbed towards Fan Hu. Mu Wan's muffled snort of vomiting blood had already woken him up, Mu Wan was at the cost of his life to save him at this critical juncture, how could he watch her being killed by Fan Hu.
Fight with Fan Hu and die with him, this is the only thought in Sun Yueling's heart.
Although the energy in his body was already chaotic and he had been injured in many places, Sun Yueling's frequent counterattacks, which had already made up his mind to die, also burst out with huge energy, enveloping Fan Hu in the shadow of a gun.
Fan Hu also completely lost his patience, and shouted angrily: "Let's see who dies first." The long knife in his hand faced Sun Yueling and launched a stormy offensive.
The sound of "clanging" was endless, and the two of them fought more than a dozen moves in an instant.
In the face of Fan Hu's huge offensive, Sun Yueling was once again forced to retreat, and his body was once again covered with colors, blood-stained clothes and armor, and he was about to be defeated by Fan Hu.
At this time, Sun Yueling's eyes were full of blood-red, and the blood had long covered his eyes, and even Fan Hu in front of him had turned into a red and hazy figure, leaving only the cold light of the long knife in his hand, so that he could feel Fan Hu's attack, and subconsciously blocked and counterattacked.
In his mind, he was also ignorant and dazed, and he could no longer make a correct judgment on the situation in front of him.
He is already on the verge of running out of oil and running out, and his real energy is really sluggish.
"Whew", the wind was hunting, and he felt that Fan Hu's knife was sweeping at his waist, and he was going to cut him in two.
I'm afraid this knife is no longer resistant. (To be continued.) )
