Chapter 73: The South Gate is broken

Yuan Tan saw the defeat of the enemy army under the city, and walked to Guo Jia's side with great joy and said: "Master said before that if the enemy army loses its sharpness, our army will win, and now I have no worries in Bohai City. ”

"It's still far away, it's just that the fire is too big at the moment, the enemy is a strategic retreat, if he Gongsun Chan really wants to retreat, he will definitely withdraw the troops of the east and west gates, but at this moment, the east and west gates are fighting fiercely." Guo Jia replied.

Guo Jia waved his hand to stop a young general who was counting the wounded and asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" ”

The young general hurriedly replied: "Yu Taishou, more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians have been killed or injured at my north gate." ”

"So much?" Guo Jia was surprised in his heart, saw the young general's face with fear, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a trusting look to make him retreat.

Although the losses of the regular army in the city were not too serious, and Guo Jia still left a regular army in the city as a reserve, but he didn't expect that the first soldier under the command of Shan Jing just now was so powerful.

The Great Shield Soldier was equipped with two pikemen to defend a battlement, and he had just the right command and support, since they all suffered such casualties.

Although most of these dead defenders were ordinary people in the city, this result also made it difficult for Guo Jia to accept, after all, there were only tens of thousands of people left in the city, most of whom were old and weak women and children, and there were only more than 10,000 people who were really young and strong.

Guo Jia asked about the battle situation of the other three gates, except for the harassment of only a few troops at the south gate, and it can even be said that there are no soldiers ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ small ~ say ~ ybdu siege city, the east and west gates have killed more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians.

The hearts of the army in the city have been turbulent, and some people are even preparing to escape from Bohai City at the south gate, but fortunately, Guo Jia's fire just now has brought back the morale in Bohai City.

Suddenly, Guo Jia saw a swallow flying past him, and secretly said that it was not good.

Swallows fly low, ants move, chickens sleep late, ducks cry, and the wind and rain are coming.

Guo Jia calculated that there would be heavy rain today, and he also set a plan according to the time of day, but he didn't expect this heavy rain to come so suddenly.

Although the heavy rain had a greater impact on the enemy troops besieging the city, it only disrupted Guo Jia's plan, and when the rainstorm came, if Gongsun Zhan still attacked it, Bohai City would be broken!

"The enemy is here again!" Some soldiers shouted, Guo Jia looked up, and saw more than 10,000 enemy soldiers outside the north gate holding more than 100 ladders approaching Bohai City again.

"The only way to do it is to give it a go!" Guo Jia made a decision in his heart, he knew that this was the decisive battle.

"Order the reserves in the city, send 400 leopard cavalry reinforcements at the north gate, 1,000 young men, and 300 troops from each of the east and west gates, and 1,000 young men." Guo Jia walked up to a general and arched his hand: "General Wang, be sure to guard the north gate!" ”

"The last general swears to defend Bohai City to the death!" The general shouted, and there was a hint of goodbye on his resolute face.

Guo Jia nodded, and walked towards the south gate with Yuan Tan, he knew that Gongsun Zhan had used the siege of three to lack one, and the reason for leaving the south gate to feint was to let the people of the Bohai Navy have the heart to flee.

At this moment, Guo Jia guessed that Gongsun Chan would still use the strategy of encircling three and missing one, but if the soldiers and civilians in the city did not flee from the south gate, he would definitely send the main force to capture the south gate with a thunderous blow.

And Guo Jia also prepared a big gift for Gongsun Chan at the south gate.

When the south gate arrived, all the generals greeted him, Guo Jia arched his hand to the generals, walked quickly to Zhang He and said: "Bohai is in danger, all the generals are in danger, I hope the generals will act according to the plan!" ”

"The last general has an order, and then go to the north gate to fight the enemy to the death!" Zhang He arched his hand, nodded at Yuan Tan and left quickly.

Guo Jia looked at the scattered attacks outside the south gate, and knew that Gongsun Zhan would definitely break through the south gate with a thunderous blow, and he only hoped that the soldiers of the other three gates could defend the city gate at this time.

If one of the other three gates was broken, Bohai City would die in an instant, and no matter how much he tried to scheming, it would be useless.

Gongsun Zhan led the army of his headquarters to quietly go around to the south gate of Bohai City to ambush, and still ordered the defenders outside the south gate to attack sporadically, so that the defenders of the city took it lightly.

He was waiting for a piece of news, and the other three gates did not have the news of breaking through Bohai City, and they were also waiting for an opportunity for him to launch a thunderous strike.

He didn't want his soldiers to capture Bohai City at the cost of heavy casualties, he wanted the lowest price in exchange for the greatest result.

He thought of this tactic, and now there was only one chance left, a chance for the defenders on the south gate to be negligent.

He suddenly saw that some of the soldiers and horses in the city had withdrawn from the city wall, and he was overjoyed, and he knew that this part of the soldiers and horses must be going to support the other three gates, which showed that the defenders in Bohai City were overstretched.

Gongsun Chan turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, looking at him one by one with trusting eyes, with a trace of unyielding on his resolute face.

Gongsun Chan knew that his soldiers were demoralized after these defeats, and he also knew the unyielding hearts of these soldiers.

"Could it be Guo Fengxiao's trick?" Gongsun Chan raised his horsewhip and was silent for a long time, he wanted to order the thunderous force to capture the south gate, but he was afraid that Guo Fengxiao still had tricks, so he was a little undecided.

"Is it still a fire attack?" Gongsun Chan snorted coldly and said, "General Fang listened to the order and led 5,000 people to storm the south gate with a ladder, stretching the battle line and letting the soldiers scatter to attack. ”

"The last general commands!" As soon as a general behind Gongsun Chan gave up his hand, he rushed to the Bohai City with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

"Even if you attack with fire, what can you do to me? Is thy oil so abundant that it can be spread over the city beyond the south gate? Gongsun Chan muttered to himself.

Guo Jia did not show his face on the wall of the south gate, but commanded the defenders of the city to fight against the enemy troops under the city in the dark, but he put some water on the enemy troops under the city, and in the face of the soldiers who hit the city gate like wolves and tigers with wooden stakes, Guo Jia did not let his soldiers storm them.

Because Guo Jia had calculated that Gongsun Zhan would definitely send troops to attack the south gate, and if he had already broken the city with thunderous momentum, Guo Jia took advantage of this to set up a plan a few days ago.

He ordered his men to mainly kill those enemy troops who had climbed the ladder to the wall, after all, those who climbed on the ladder were easier to kill, and this was also the best opportunity to annihilate the enemy's combat power.

And against those enemy troops who broke the door, Guo Jia only occasionally released water, which did not let their attack go so smoothly, and there should be boiling oil, fire attack, stones, wooden stakes and random arrows all in unison.

The enemy troops who were killed in the city had blocked the siege of their comrades, and they were dragged out one by one and piled aside, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

"The door is about to break, brothers, work hard!" A centurion looked at the crumbling South Gate and yelled excitedly.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Bang!

With a loud bang, the south gate broke!

"Brothers, the door is broken, follow me and rush in!"

The vanguard under the command of Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, and as soon as the south gate was broken, their 100,000 troops drove straight in, and there was no place to defend Bohai City.
