Chapter 1188: Siege

Yue Fei and Xu Huang almost simultaneously received the news that the army outside the capital of Funan had entered the city, and hurriedly dispatched men and horses to prepare to besiege the city gate, but the two armies met unexpectedly at the north and south gates.

When Xu Huang learned about it, he hurriedly came to see Yue Fei to discuss the siege strategy.

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Xu Huang said: "General, how to attack the city, please give me instructions?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Fan Man transferred all the men and horses into the city, so that there will be 30,000 horses in the city, which is equivalent to the strength of our army. However, our army relies on siege weapons, and it is not difficult to break the city, but it is just necessary to guard against Fan Man's reinforcements. ”

Xu Huang said: "A certain leader came all the way east, and found that the garrisons in various places were extremely empty, and forgive him Fan Man did not have many reinforcements to come. ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "Funan Country is more than 3,000 miles long, with a population of more than one million, and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can fight, but the road is far away, and when to arrive is the problem." ”

Xu Huang said: "In this way, our army can only fight quickly. ”

Yue Fei said: "Yes, Gongming, your army is blocking the west gate and north gate, and my side is blocking the south gate and east gate." Place the main force of the attack outside the east gate, and break through the city gate in one go, and you can occupy the capital of Funan. ”

Xu Huang said: "What is the need to divide troops to prevent the coming aid? ”

Yue Fei said with a smile: "The scout reported that within fifty miles, there was no trace of the enemy. Our army will attack the city early tomorrow morning, send more scouts, and listen to the news. ”

Xu Huang said: "It turns out that the general has already expected the enemy to take the lead, and after I go back, I can arrange to assist the general in breaking the city." ”

………………

Early the next morning, the sound of war drums drove away the darkness before dawn and woke up the Funan defenders in the city. The soldiers at the head of the city rubbed their worried eyes, and suddenly saw tall things lined up outside the city, and they were all surprised. Before the guards' open mouths could close, a boulder with a sharp whistling sound in mid-air came to them in the blink of an eye, and immediately flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the loud noise continued.

Chagu carefully dodged the stones that fell into the city, and when he came to the city, he was shocked to see that the Tang army was attacking the city with huge stones.

Chagu was worthy of leading the troops, quickly judged the situation, and commanded the soldiers to hide behind the battlements and lie on the ground to avoid greater casualties.

Yue Fei saw that all the guards at the head of the city were dodging, and ordered the bed crossbow to be fired.

Without exception, the castles of Funan do not have moats, which are estimated to be related to geology and are not easy to excavate.

Iron Arrow carried a bag of fire oil and stuck it in the city gate, and after firing several rockets, a raging fire was ignited at the city gate, and by the time the fire was extinguished, the city gate was already open.

Yue Fei immediately ordered his infantry to begin the siege.

………………

Chagu got up in a daze, shook his head, which was still shaking, and asked loudly, "What happened just now?" ”

The soldier who was a little farther away from the city gate said loudly: "General, the Tang army didn't know what strange weapons they used, and they made a loud noise near the city gate, and the city walls shook incessantly. ”

Chagu hurriedly ran down the city, commanded the defenders in the city to resist the Tang army entering the city, and at the same time alerted the palace.

………………

Fan Man was awakened by the shouts of killing, hurriedly put on his robe, ran out of the dormitory, and asked what happened.

The leader of the inner chamberlain ran over and cried loudly: "King, the Tang army has broken the east gate of the capital, and it is coming to this side at this moment. General Chagu sent someone to inform the king and make preparations as soon as possible. ”

Fan Man shuddered, the capital city is so tall and strong, and the Tang army entered the city so quickly, could it be that there are traitors in the city?

The matter was urgent, and it was not the time to think about it, so Fan Man hurriedly summoned the palace guards and prepared to meet the enemy.

Prime Minister Zuo said: "King, the Tang army has entered the city and attacked sharply, so the whole city should be called upon to be strong and resist." ”

A word reminded the dreamer, Fan Man said loudly: "Pass the order, all the young and strong in the city will go to battle, and swear to destroy the Tang army in the city." ”

………………

Yue Fei saw that the forward troops led by Wang Shuangsuo had all entered the capital of Funan, and said to Huang Zhong, Yang Ye, and Xiahou Yuan: "After the three of you enter the city, concentrate on the assault, go and open the other three gates first, and let my army enter the city." ”

The three men received the order, and each led his men and horses, and broke into the city.

Yang Ye was anxious, and after entering the city, he saw a general-like person from Funan riding on a horse, and he was inseparable from Wang Shuang's killing, and he shouted, like a thunderbolt in mid-air, and hit the horse.

Chagu and the soldiers around him were stunned by a loud shout, and at this moment, Yang Ye's war horse arrived, and the big knife carried the sound of the wind, and cut off Chagu's head.

Chagu hurriedly dodged, how could Yang Ye's big knife be too fast, Chagu just dodged his head, but did not dodge his chest, and was stabbed by Yang Ye, and came to a disemboweling belly.

If Li Yi is here, if he checks his force value through the general system, he will find that his force value is as high as 86, reaching the level of a second-rate general. Therefore, Chagu had a very high prestige among the defenders of the capital of Funan, and the defenders saw that their generals were defeated by their opponents, and they died under the horse, and they were all shocked, and their courage was taken away, and their morale was suddenly low.

Yang Ye no longer paid attention to the defenders in a daze, fought his way out of the chaotic army, and ran towards the west gate with his men and horses.

When the Tang army saw that its own generals had killed the local generals, their confidence doubled, their combat power soared, and the defenders of Funan who had been killed were defeated and retreated.

………………

Fan Man took his elite and killed towards the south gate, hoping to escape from the city and regroup. Under the encouragement of officials at all levels, the young men in the city went out of their homes one after another, armed with a variety of weapons, and swarmed onto the streets, and began to engage the Tang army entering the city in close combat.

Fan Man was passing through the North and South Streets, and a group of people arrived, it was Yang Ye.

Yang Ye saw that the opponent's team was strict and the soldiers were fierce, and he knew that the opponent was not ordinary, so he shouted loudly and slashed with a knife.

Fan Man was in a hurry to get out of the city, and had no intention of entanglement with Yang Ye, so he sent hundreds of people to surround Yang Ye.

Yang Ye was also in a hurry to rush to the West Gate, and he was wrong in two clicks.

………………

On the other hand, Yue Fei led three thousand elites and also entered the city, and went straight to the palace of the king of Funan, planning to capture the king first.

Fan Man's men and horses came to the vicinity of the south gate and ordered the city to be opened, and the soldiers at the city gate said: "The Tang army outside the city is eyeing the tiger, who dares to open the city?" ”

Fan Man was silent, walked quickly to the head of the city, and saw that there were really a number of people outside the city, his heart was gloomy, and he said loudly: "Kaicheng fought to the death with the enemy, and defeated the Tang army, and this king has his own heavy reward." ”

The general of the city gate wanted to show himself in front of the king, and shouted the order to gather his men and horses, and then opened the city gate.

The leading general outside the south gate was Hao Zhao, the general of the Tang Army, who saw the city gate open, thinking that his own horse had arrived, and he shouted loudly and was about to rush in.

Huang Zhong led the men and horses to the south gate, came to the south gate, and saw a group of men and horses out of the city, I don't know why, I thought that the defenders in the city wanted to abandon the city and flee, so he urged the war horses and led the team to kill it.

Hao Zhao didn't hear the sound of fighting, the city gate was wide open, and he didn't expect that it was not his own family, so he ordered the soldiers to raise their bows and arrows, draw their bows, and face the city gates.

The city gate guards were the leader, and behind them were the defenders gathered nearby, rushing out of the door, Chen Haozhao saw it, and ordered the arrows to be released.

The poor gatekeeper, who did not perform well, returned to the west as soon as he appeared. The soldiers behind saw that the Tang army's bows and arrows were raining down, and the turtle couldn't retreat, and half of Fan Man's men and horses also entered the city gate cave, and Huang Zhong killed him later, and immediately blocked Fan Man in the city gate hole.

………………

When Yue Fei came to the palace, Xu Huang's army had successfully entered the city from the west gate and the north gate, and began to strangle the recalcitrant defenders. Yue Fei got the reward, and his heart was determined, and he ordered the soldiers to attack the palace.

In the palace, with Fan Man's departure, there were only a few guards to defend, and when he saw Yue Fei's 3,000 men and horses, he panicked in his heart, and released a few arrows indiscriminately, and under the cover of the Tang army's arrow rain, they immediately turned into birds and beasts.

Yue Fei then led the army into the palace.

Xu Huang's 10,000 horses entered the city, and the Funan defenders were not of high combat strength and had to surrender on their knees.

………………

Fan Man couldn't advance or retreat in the city gate hole, and shouted loudly, letting the soldiers behind him sacrifice their lives to fight, and the soldiers in front desperately broke out. The soldiers in the back are all elite around Fan Man, and they are quite obedient, and the soldiers in front of them are still unable to shrink back at this time.

Since Huang Zhong entered Linyi, he only felt that he had met an opponent this time. Fan Man's three thousand guards were all selected by thousands, and their combat power was naturally extremely high.

Huang Zhong slashed the big knife and killed his character, and the five thousand soldiers behind saw the main general competing for the lead, and they also screamed, fighting to the death against Fan Man's personal guards.

Fan Man saw that the soldiers in front of him did not move, and immediately started to kill, and ordered his personal guards to move forward, cutting down more than a dozen defenders, and urging them to fight.

How many defenders could be in the gate? In this situation where there were tigers in front and wolves in the back, the defenders had no choice but to hold their shields and take cautious steps.

As soon as more than a hundred defenders emerged, a shower of arrows came at them, frightening them to retreat.

Hao Zhao thought that such a stalemate was not a solution, and pushed out the bed crossbow and aimed it at the city gate.

Huang Zhong's courage shocked Fan Man's personal guards, who is this? How can it be so powerful?

At this moment, Huang Zhong had already killed more than 200 people in a row, and he was still fighting endlessly. Five thousand Tang soldiers forced Fan Man's guards to shrink within a small area of the south gate.

Fan Man saw that Xu Huangzhong was extremely brave, and his heart was entangled, is it a battle or a surrender? It's hard to choose.

The iron bolt let out a terrifying scream and shot into the hole in the gate. With such a dense crowd, the power of the iron arrows was maximized, and each iron arrow passed through a dozen people, trying their best to dissipate.

Under the desperate protection of the guards, Fan Man did not suffer the tragic death of the iron arrow, but he was slammed into the wall by a huge arrow, along with several guards who protected him, and passed out.

Hao Zhao, who was outside the city, saw that there was almost no one standing in the city gate cave at this moment, so he shouted and rushed in.

Huang Zhong and Hao Zhao met, and after commanding his subordinates to control the city gate, they quickly rushed to the city, hoping to earn more battle exploits, but they didn't know that the biggest battle exploits were lightly missed by the two.
