Chapter 457: Xiliang Journey (89)
Bell, bell, bell...
After a burst of arrows, the Tang army did not suffer many casualties, but followed this trend and pushed forward for hundreds of miles, getting closer and closer to the city wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a short time, the siege battle began completely...
While the soldiers went forward to attack the city, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Liang, Qin Huaiyu and others were also ready, ready to rush up with Cheng Yanjin at any time.
"Uncle, when are we going to go?"
Qin Huaiyu asked.
Seeing that Cheng Yanjin had not given the order to go, everyone was puzzled, whether to fight or not?
Cheng Tiehuan also tightened the sword in the box and said, "Father, when are you going?" ”
"You? You are not allowed to go. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Do you still need to ask why, if you don't allow it, you don't want it, stay in the back." ”
Cheng Liang smiled: "Sister, don't be tough, even if my father agrees, I don't agree either, this is a siege, how dangerous it is, don't talk about it." ”
Cheng Tiehuan snorted and pinned his head to the side very unhappily.
Cheng Yanjin looked around, smiled and said, "It's all ready, when it's time for us to go up, we will naturally go up, but not now." Dare to die, dare to die, not really to die, but to set an example for the soldiers, to play the role of a miracle soldier. ”
"When the battle is stalemate and the enemy is weak, we will suddenly step forward and help the soldiers in front."
Everyone probably understood what Cheng bit Jin, in fact, it was a sneak attack, falling into the well, and seeing that the enemy couldn't support it, they went up and stabbed him for the last time, taking advantage of his illness to kill him.
Although everyone thinks that something is not good, but Cheng Yanjin said this, and they are not easy to refute.
Everyone answered, "Yes, we will listen to the marshal." ”
The battle continues...
Two hours later!
At this time, more than half of the besieging army had been consumed, with countless casualties, floating corpses at the head of the city, and rivers of blood flowing under the city, and the tragic situation was indescribable.
The soldiers defending the city also suffered heavy losses, in the face of the elite Tang army, there were countless people who were shot by bows and arrows, and the soldiers defending the city were replaced by batches after batches, and the number of casualties could be almost proportional to the Tang army!
This is very terrible, generally speaking, the side defending the city has to take advantage of it, and the losses are generally small, but the battle with the Tang army has reached a direct proportion.
Perhaps, this is related to the shabby city towers and the collapse of various places, but it also shows that it is becoming more and more difficult to defend the city, and Qinglong Pass is about to break!
"Brothers, hold on, hold on!"
Fu Yan, the general guarding the pass, constantly cheered up the soldiers, and at the same time, he carried a long knife and walked around the city tower, but whenever he saw a Tang army rushing up, he walked over with a long knife and slashed the Tang army to death.
He is like a firefighter, fighting fires everywhere, when one comes up, he will cut and kill one, not to mention, his martial arts are really good, he has been killing for a long time, and he really hasn't met an opponent.
However, as more and more soldiers besieged the city, as time passed, there were more and more enemies in the city, and gradually, he couldn't hold it anymore...
Burst!
"Kill!"
Fu Yan carried a long knife and kept waving and killing in the city.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked around, and found that there were more and more enemies climbing up to the top of the city, and he couldn't help shouting: "Where are the reinforcements?" Why don't you go to the inner city to transfer troops? ”
"General, several generals have run away from the West Gate with their soldiers..."
"What?"
Fu Yan's body trembled violently, like being struck by lightning.
"At such a time, at such a critical time, they actually evacuated without authorization?"
Fu Yan roared angrily and roared: "When I return to Jincheng, I will definitely explain to the king and punish them for their crimes!" Outrageous! Outrageous! ”
Burst!
The captain next to him killed two enemies one after another, and asked loudly, "General, what should we do now?" ”
Fu Yan raised his head and looked around as he fought.
If there are no reinforcements in the city, only the current soldiers and horses will not be able to support it for long.
When he looked around, he saw with his own eyes that many of the soldiers had been killed by the enemy, and the swords had cut off the necks of the soldiers, and one by one they had fallen in a pool of blood, many of whom he knew.
"Puff puff...!!"
Fu Yan killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers one after another, came to a corner with a few captains, and said: "Listen, now the city may fall at any time, several generals have already evacuated with soldiers, and it is useless for us to stay, we can't stop the Tang army." ”
"Is the general going to evacuate too?"
"Not bad!"
Fu Yan said: "I'm going to Jincheng, I'm going to report the retreat of those rabbit cubs to the king, the loss of Qinglong Pass is all their responsibility!" ”
"Who of you would like to come with me?"
"We're willing..." Everyone said in unison.
Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at the four or five captains, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”
"Let's go..."
.....
Everyone quickly went downstairs, selected a few horses downstairs, and went straight to Xicheng.
There were soldiers along the way, and they all quickly followed the footsteps of Fu Yan and others and withdrew together, especially when passing by the county government and the Xicheng City Gate, thousands of troops were waiting for them, and when they saw Fu Yan evacuating, they also followed suit.
Fu Yan is gone...
His departure directly caused Qinglong Pass to lose its barrier, and the soldiers defending the city were slaughtered by the Tang army! That's right, it's a massacre! At this moment, the soldiers of Qinglong Pass had no power to resist at all.
In the distance under the city, Cheng Yanjin, who saw this scene, seized the opportunity, shouted, and took Cheng Liang, Qin Huaiyu, etc., as well as dozens of captains, and rushed up to the city tower.
"Kill! Take the Blue Dragon Pass! ”
"Kill, !!"
......
Following Cheng Biting Jin, there were hundreds of soldiers and thousands of elite soldiers, following closely. These soldiers do not take action in peacetime, and are only responsible for protecting the safety of Cheng Yanjin and other high-ranking officials, and now they have also risked their lives.
Seeing this situation, Xu Maogong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and there should be no danger in making a move at this time.
Cheng Biting Jin and others participated in the battle, and the morale of the soldiers besieging the city in front was greatly boosted, and they all roared and launched a fierce attack on the city.
The Tang army finally had an absolute advantage, and the scale of the battlefield was tilted to the side of the Tang army.
At sunset, as Cheng Biting Jin led people to open the city gate, tens of thousands of Tang troops rushed in, and so far, Qinglong Pass was broken!
***********

Li Heng was the first to receive the defeat report of Qinglong Pass, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurried to the palace to meet Zhou Gandang.

Zhou Gandang was grinning, but Li Heng's voice came from outside the hall.
Zhou Gandang lowered his face and shouted, "What's the noise? In. ”
"Li Heng, what the hell is going on? Why did you lose your temper so much? ”
Li Heng handed over a brief and said, "King, defeat has arrived." ”
