Chapter 157: The Battle for the City Gate
Maybe there are also many officers and soldiers in ambush in the shadows on both sides of the street, maybe they are waiting for He Yuan and others to throw themselves into the net, but this is also better than staying in the wide streets as live targets, the houses in the city are scattered, there are countless small streets and alleys, and there may be a way to survive in the melee.
The brocade robe boy was sharp-eyed, and he saw that many arrows came from the storefronts on both sides of the street.
Could it be that the matter was revealed, and Chen Hu found out about their plan? Thinking of this, his hands and feet were cold for a while, and suddenly he grabbed Chen Hu and said with a crying voice: "General, let's escape from the city, right?" ”
"Run?" He Yuan said viciously: "I'm afraid that our back roads have already been copied!" Now I can only hope that my brothers can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, there are not many soldiers and horses in this county, at best there are more than 10,000 people, as long as we bring out the ambush soldiers, when the reinforcements arrive, who lives and who dies is not known! ”
"What to do? What are we going to do! The brocade-robed boy asked with a trembling voice.
"Tell these housekeepers to rush to both sides of the street! If you stay here, you'll only be shot as a live target! He Yuan saw that the brocade-robed boy looked sluggish, his heart was irritable, he threw down a dead meat shield, and raised his hand to slap him in the face.
The brocade-robed boy's cheeks were swollen high by this slap, and he shouted in despair: "Why? Why haven't we come out of the city? ”
He Yuan's face was gloomy and said, "I'm afraid that these people have been controlled by Chen Hu's subordinates!" ”
From the moment he was selected by Su Yi as the pioneer to enter the city, he had this psychological preparation, several Zhuang Ke ran into the alley in a hurry, and suddenly a miserable scream sounded, He Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he heard a dull sound from a sharp weapon piercing his body.
"Kill!" He Yuan hung his bow and arrow on his back, drew the scimitar at his waist, and rushed towards the darkness.
There are also two or three thousand Zhuang Ke and Jia Ding brought by these rich children, and many Haoqiang in the city saw that someone had entered the county seat, and they also rushed over with Zhuang Ke, but what made the brocade boy wonder was that none of the people of the Liu family saw it.
Those powerful families like the Liu family did not send men and horses to participate in the war, but those small landlords and small squires sent some men to reinforce them. But soon these people were shot by arrows in the shadows, and the thousands of villagers and family members scurried around, and some even fled to the city gates.
However, there was also a fierce battle at the gates of Shangjun County, which was far more tragic than the ambush battle inside the city.
The ambush soldiers of Shangjun County tried to rush up the city tower, and then the five hundred archers left by He Yuan condescendingly guarded the city gate, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and the arrows of the cottage archers were shot from top to bottom, and the strength was far better than the arrows of the officers and soldiers.
What's more, most of the officers and soldiers who attacked the city gate were foot soldiers, and the archers were pitiful, so the five hundred archers left by He Yuan were able to defend the city gate, but they couldn't stand too many officers and soldiers, and gradually couldn't support it, and they were about to be captured by the officers and soldiers.
"Rush forward!" A tall man in armor shouted, "Rush forward! You bitch, there are only a few archers on the other side, if you can't rush forward, you can only stay down and be a live target! ”
"General Gong, the other party's arrow rain is intensive, let's rush up for a while!" A few soldiers on the side of Gao Dajun immediately complained bitterly, they knew that this surnamed Gong was Chen Hu's henchman, and they couldn't offend him if they offended anyone, but they wanted them to go up to death for nothing, but no one was willing.
General Gong shouted: "The other party always has a gap to pull the bow and arrows, and if you can't rush up, you have to rush!" Come on, go up and close the city gate for me, let's close the door and beat the dogs! ”
This surnamed Gong didn't know if the men and horses in the city were all the enemy's troops, but he didn't care, as long as the city gate was closed, even if there were enemy reinforcements outside the city, he wouldn't be able to attack the county seat for a while. At that time, as long as he killed all the enemies in the city and then confronted the enemies outside the city, he did not believe that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong would dare to attack the city in a grand manner.
"Damn, Gongsun Laogou's subordinates are really kind, and they actually ran over from Liaodong to arrest our General Chen!" Gong Jiangjun snorted, as long as he could guard the city gate today and annihilate all the officers and soldiers of Liaodong in the city, Liu Yu would know that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong would dare to cross the border to arrest people, but he was afraid that if he launched a ruthless attack, he would treat all these officers and soldiers of Liaodong as bandits!
The 500 archers on the city wall shot arrows alternately, and the officers and soldiers who tried to attack the city cried wolf howl, and the people turned on their backs. Unfortunately, they had to shoot the officers and soldiers who tried to close the gates, and they had to meet the enemy who rushed up to the tower, so they had to lose sight of one or the other, and soon the five hundred archers kept falling and began to retreat step by step, and the fight was very difficult.
Some archers even had to abandon their bows and take on their swords to meet the enemy who rushed up the walls.
General Gong sneered, beckoned the soldiers behind him to close the city gate, the archers on the city wall were shocked and angry, many people risked being cut by the officers and soldiers, turned around and shot arrows at the city gate, trying to prevent the officers and soldiers from closing the city gate, and then this did nothing but accelerate their death.
Gong Jiangjun looked at the slowly closing city gate, the corners of his mouth flashed a cruel smile, and suddenly, a thick mace smashed into the gap between the two city gates, and smashed the head of one of the soldiers who pushed the city gate into his chest.
Outside the city, Gao Heihu began to push the door with a group of wrestlers, and soon, the slowly closing city gate was pushed open by Gao Heihu and others.
General Gong was furious, but before he could draw his weapon, Gao Heihu had already rushed into the city first.
"Kill him!" General Gong pointed at Gao Heihu and roared loudly.
"Get out!" Gao Heihu roared, he deserved to be the number one general of Peach Blossom Village, a heavy armor blocked the attack of ordinary swords, and the wolf-toothed giant stick made of fine iron in his hand swept away with a scream that tore through the air.
Three or five of the officers and soldiers who surrounded him were immediately swept to pieces, and Gao Heihu held a stick in both hands and smashed it head-on at a soldier who blocked his way, and the soldier was smashed into a puddle of mud on the spot.
Gao Heihu's momentum continued unabated, and he greeted General Gong step by step, and the eight hundred wrestlers behind him also roared into the city.
"Are you the officers and soldiers of Liaodong?" General Gong saw that Gao Heihu was brave, and his heart was a little empty, he hurriedly shouted: "We are the officers and soldiers of Youzhou, responsible for guarding Shangjun County, you will attack the city indiscriminately, are you not afraid that the military department will blame?" ”
Gao Heihu didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, the hideous aura on his face was even worse, and the wolf tooth giant stick in his hand opened and closed, and soon killed General Gong.
General Gong relied on his own tall man, took a big knife from the hands of his subordinates, and was about to face Gao Heihu, but unexpectedly, Gao Heihu rushed fast and had already killed in front of him, General Gong wanted to raise the big knife anymore, and Gao Heihu's mace with iron nails smashed on General Gong's head at once.
