Chapter Seventy-Two: The Earth Shakes the Mountains
In the firelight, Zhao Chengtai looked at the tower not far away, it didn't seem far, but in fact there was still a considerable distance, how many ambushes there were in this distance, it was impossible to say, but things had come to this point, he could only move forward, not retreat.

Zhao Chengtai led the soldiers to continue to touch forward, seventy or eighty people walked about fifty steps, suddenly, on the houses on both sides of the street, rows of crossbowmen suddenly appeared, and then arrows rained like locusts, shooting towards Zhao Chengtai and others.
"Be careful!" Zhao Chengtai reacted the fastest, and he immediately drew his sword and danced wildly to shoot down the arrow feather.
However, the arrow feathers are dense, these more than 70 people are not enough to see at all, a wave of arrow feathers is shot out, the second wave, the third wave comes, Wu Yuebing constantly someone fell from the arrow, a moan came into Zhao Chengtai's ears, he pursed his mouth, the Tang army is heavily guarded, it seems that there is no chance.
At this time, Yang Lian was walking down from the tower, and more than fifty personal soldiers surrounded him and walked towards the other side. Yang Lian was also a little surprised to find that Wu Yuejun had killed here, and he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to continue shooting arrows.
"Snatch and snatch!" The arrow feathers snapped into the wall of the opposite room with a muffled sound.
Zhao Chengtai was so suppressed that he couldn't raise his head, but he refused to give up, Yang Lian appeared in front of him, and he didn't know where to go? At this moment, the ground shook, not only Zhao Chengtai, but everyone was like this, Tang Jun jumped off the house one after another, stood on the ground, and still shot a rain of arrows from time to time.
The shaking of the ground lasted for a while, and Zhao Chengtai felt that something was wrong, at this time, how could the ground crack? Yuhang is located by the sea, the terrain is flat, he has not heard of a crack in the ground for so many years, he looked back, the house behind him was shaking, and he didn't know what was going on?
Zhao Chengtai hid behind a wall, trying to avoid the arrows of the Tang Army, and suddenly, he realized that this was very inappropriate, if the wall collapsed, wouldn't it be buried alive? In desperation, he had no choice but to stand up, waving a long knife in his hand, constantly chopping arrow feathers while observing the situation around him.
When Zhao Chengtai looked back, he couldn't help but be stunned, because about three hundred steps behind, most of the buildings seemed to have disappeared, how could they have disappeared? Where exactly did you go?
"Ahh Just when he was surprised, an arrow feather shot out, hitting the shoulder of his right arm, Zhao Chengtai was in pain, the long knife in his hand fell, and the next moment, several Tang soldiers pounced, forced his shoulder, and escorted away. The armor on Zhao Chengtai's body was very conspicuous, and the Tang soldiers recognized that he was not an ordinary general, so he wanted to capture him alive.
Yang Lian stared ahead, most of the buildings had disappeared, and nearly half of Yuhang City was destroyed in this battle, he was not distressed, how could he not die on the battlefield? Fortunately, the people had moved out in advance and sent to the other side, and the people were not harmed at all.
However, Wu Yuebing on that side was not so lucky, the ground collapsed, all the buildings collapsed, even if these Wu Yuebing were not killed by falling to death, they would be stoned to death. The losses of Wu Yue's army were at least more than 10,000 people. Wu Yue's army, which was lucky not to die, could not get support, and it would not take two hours to be wiped out.
Yang Lian glanced back at the tower, the tower was built quite strongly, and under the impact of this wave, it was still standing, Yang Lian secretly wondered if he was too careful? At this time, the soldiers escorted Zhao Chengtai over.
Although Zhao Chengtai was injured, he still scolded, and when he saw someone being surrounded by soldiers, he thought that this person was Yang Lian, so he opened his mouth to scold, and all kinds of foul language came out one after another.
"Who is this person?" Yang Lian asked,
"Seems to be a commander." Someone recognized the armor on Zhao Chengtai and said.
"Commander? What a great official I should be? If he is still like this, he will be killed with a knife! Yang Lian said.
Zhao Chengtai heard it, and while struggling, he said: "Haha, Tang Dog, if you kill me, I won't let you go if I become a ghost." ”
Yang Lian stopped talking, waved his hand, and the soldiers dragged Zhao Chengtai down, and soon heard Zhao Chengtai screaming, and a soldier held Zhao Chengtai's head and sent him up.
"After all, it's a commander, find a coffin for him and bury him." Yang Lian said, and ordered a few more words to the herald beside him.
Li Ping was on the side, looking dumbfounded, the ground shook violently just now, if it wasn't for someone to help him, he almost fell to the ground, and then looked ahead as if he had been flattened by a knife, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Yang Jiedu, what's going on?" ”
"Please enter the urn." Yang Lian said, and explained.
Yang Lian's design was purposeful at the beginning. There are not many spies in the Wu Yue army, they want to attack the city, they can only concentrate their forces on one side, it is possible to seize the control of the city gate, Qian Wenfeng is on the west side of Yuhang, naturally they will storm the west gate, Yang Lian at the beginning, the west of the central axis of Yuhang City, the streets are hollowed out, only the foundation and the soil in the building are not excavated. The hollowed-out lot was held up with thick wooden stakes to prevent the ground from collapsing, and the bottom end of the wooden pillar was tied with ropes, just waiting for the Wu Yue army to attack the city, and the wooden pillar would fall if it was pulled hard. There is no support on the ground.
After the Wu Yue army entered the city, in order to control Yuhang as soon as possible, it was inevitable to do its best, a large number of Wu Yue troops poured into the city of Yuhang, in order to attract more Wu Yue troops into the city, Yang Lian deliberately retreated three hundred steps, leading Wu Yue army forward again.
Especially after Qian Wenfeng entered the city, Yang Lian knew that it was time for the next plan, as the Wu Yue army poured in, they ran quickly on the street, as soon as the wooden pillar fell, the ground could not bear it, it would collapse, and the soldiers would fall into the pit, and they would be injured if they did not die.
At this time, there was still a fire in the moat, and Wu Yue's army could not escape at all, and the Wu Yue's army left on the east side was waiting for only one massacre.
After Yang Lian finished speaking, he issued a military order, and the Tang army launched a counterattack, at this time Wu Yuejun was frightened by the sudden collapse, and they watched the robe fall into the pit, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, they were all messed up, and under the fierce counterattack of the Tang army, they were defeated and retreated, and some people fell into the deep pit for this.
At the gate of the city, when Qian Wenfeng was talking to Wu Yanfu and Wu Cheng, the sudden change occurred, and under the firelight, everyone's faces became extremely frightened, and the Tang army dug a long trap, except for a small number of soldiers who fought fiercely with the Tang army in the houses, all the Wu Yue army on the street was wiped out, and there was no one left.
Wu Cheng looked at this scene, his mouth opened wide, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't believe that Yang Lian would actually hollow out the street.
Wu Yanfu looked at him nervously, and then glanced back at Qian Wenfeng.
Qian Wenfeng stood there and didn't move, but in his eyes, tears had already flowed out, and his soldiers were buried in the soil like this. The city wall was also affected, and it was shaking violently, but the deep pit of the Tang army only dug more than a hundred steps east of the city wall, and it did not have much impact on the city wall. Obviously, Yang Lian didn't want to destroy the city wall, because this was Yu Hang's biggest reliance.
"Haha, haha!" Qian Wenfeng suddenly laughed wildly, this was a heartbroken laugh, he thought that he could break through Yuhang and capture Yang Lian, thus changing the situation of this battle. However, all this turned out to be a dream after all, Qian Wenfeng laughed, his voice was hoarse, he turned his head suddenly, and the fire in the moat was still endless, reflecting his hideous smiling face.
Wu Cheng and Wu Yanfu glanced at each other, and Wu Yanfu said, "Qian Jiedu, retreat!" ”
"Withdraw? How to withdraw? Qian Wenfeng pointed to the fire outside the city, still laughing wildly.
Wu Cheng stared at the fire, even if he was more than twenty steps away, he could still feel the heat wave brought by the fire. A few people kept wiping the sweat from their faces, but their hearts were extremely cold.
Several pro-soldiers stepped forward, pulled Qian Wenfeng, and shouted desperately, but Qian Wenfeng was unmoved, still laughing.
Wu Yanfu's voice trembled a little, and said, "Wu Shangshu, what should I do now?" ”
Wu Cheng bit his lip tightly, due to the excessive force, his lips had broken skin, but he couldn't feel the pain, what pain would be more important than Wu Yuejun's frustration? Wu Yueguo can be said to have exhausted his national strength and is determined to restore Yuhang. If it can't be recovered, Yuhang will lose the first battle, and the fate of Wu Yueguo will have already been decided.
Wu Yanfu looked at Yu Hangcheng and then at the moat, big drops of sweat fell on his forehead, and in less than a moment, the clothes on his body were already soaked.
Wu Cheng paced anxiously, thinking for a while, he sent someone to the city gate to observe, the suspension bridge at the city gate had been ignited, even the iron gate was roasted, and hot hands could not touch it. Wu Cheng got the news and knew that in this case, it was obviously impossible for the army to retreat.
However, in Yuhang City, most of the houses are built with wood, and it is impossible to fill the moat, and the anxious Wu Cheng is like an ant on a hot pot, scurrying around, but he has never thought of a good way.
Qian Wenfeng laughed for a while, under the urgency, people were already a little confused, and if they wanted to rely on him, it seemed obviously impossible in a short time.
At this time, the Tang army had already eliminated or captured the Wu Yue soldiers remaining in Dongcheng, and the captured Wu Yue soldiers were strung together with ropes like rock sugar gourds and placed on the Dongcheng school grounds.
Yang Lian climbed the tower again, looking ahead, Wu Yuejun's handsome banner still did not move, and he didn't know if Qian Wenfeng was stunned or couldn't think of a way to escape, but for Yang Lian, there was not much difference between the two.
After an hour and a half of sweeping, the Tang army cleared the Wu Yue soldiers in Dongcheng. The situation changed suddenly, and a group of people organized by Yang Lian began to fill the pit, and before filling the pit, Wu Yuejun who fell into the pit pulled it up first, whether he was dead or alive, and the living were tied up, and the dead were put aside.
Wu Yuebing was pulled up, the soil was filled, a section was filled, and a section was walked, the speed was a little slow, until the sky was numb and bright, and the Tang army advanced three hundred steps. At this time, the fire had been extinguished, and Wu Cheng, Wu Yanfu and others were busy crossing the river.
Although the fire was extinguished, the city wall was very hot, and the moat of Yuhang City was very wide, so it was not so easy to cross the river. Wu Cheng had the city tower demolished and built on the moat. The planks that looked sturdy were not sturdy, and the planks were put up, and the soldiers scrambled to cross the river first, and the planks suddenly broke apart, and the soldiers fell into the water, and drank a few sips of the river.
Some of the soldiers, dressed in armor or leather armor, struggled and then sank into the water. Wu Cheng touched his chest, thinking that it was fortunate that he had slowed down just now, otherwise he would have fallen into the river.
What to do? Wu Yanfu was in a hurry, the wood was easy to break, and it couldn't be used as a bridge at all, he thought about it again and again, but never found a good way. Some soldiers demolished their houses and threw them into the moat, trying to cross the river by stepping on planks, and a few of the more fortunate soldiers crossed the river in this way.
"Fight!" Wu Yanfu was very anxious and prepared to cross the river like this.
Wu Cheng grabbed him and said, "Don't worry. ”
"How can I not be in a hurry?" Wu Yanfu said.
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Although the Tang Army is advancing, they have to fill the trap, it will not be able to achieve it in a moment and a half, and it will take at least an hour or more to arrive, and during this time, it is enough for us to do a lot of things." ”
Wu Yanfu said: "Wu Shangshu, you should think of a way." ”
At this time, Qian Wenfeng came over and laughed wildly, and he fell asleep under the great compassion. I slept for more than an hour, and after waking up, Qian Wenfeng seemed to accept this reality, things have come to this point, what else can he do? The only way to do this is to run away!
Qian Wenfeng glanced around, quickly took off the armor on his body, took off his clothes again, and supported it with one hand, and jumped into the moat. He was very water-oriented, and although he was only one-armed, he quickly crossed the moat. On the other side, his whole body became very dirty, but he could not care more, put on his clothes, and cried out loudly.
Other soldiers followed suit, and the armor was nothing compared to life. Some soldiers are more clever, and before crossing the river, they throw their weapons on the other side, even if they don't have armor, they can defend themselves with weapons, right?
Wu Cheng and Wu Yanfu glanced at each other, Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Zheng Guogong, let's go!" With that, he took off his clothes and swam across the moat.
The surviving Wu Yue soldiers all learned well, and quickly crossed the river, all with a bad smell on their bodies. After a short rest, Wu Yuejun began to flee, walking less than two miles, and Shao Keqian, who attacked the Water Gate, also escaped.
Shao Keqian mainly cut off the escape route of the Tang army, but he waited for so long, not only did not a Tang army escape, but received extremely bad news, Qian Jiedu was defeated in the city, at least more than 10,000 soldiers were buried alive, and now the Tang army began to advance, gradually eliminating the Wu Yue soldiers and horses who entered Yuhang. This news made Shao Keqian panic, Qian Jiedu was defeated, what else could he do?
At this time, Zhao Chengtai's head was hung on the city wall by the Tang Army, Shao Keqian's heart was broken, Zhao Chengtai had died in battle, and his head was hung up, what else could he do? Without waiting for him to react, Tang Jun rushed out violently.
Shao Keqian sighed, just about to give an order, turned his head and saw that his subordinates had begun to flee, the fire in the moat last night and the shaking in the city made them feel terrified, if they didn't flee at this time, when would they wait? The Tang army chased after him closely, Wu Yuejun was killed a lot of people, Shao Keqian rode a war horse, ran relatively fast, and when he ran out of the five-mile road, he didn't expect to meet Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng, Wu Yanfu and others here.
