Chapter 158: The Counterattack of the Shengjie Army [4]
Why did Zhao Yu have a layer of gloom in his heart when the situation was a little more stable?
The source of this haze does not come from the one-eyed beard in front of him, but from the Mengshan thief!
There are also 2,000 people in the Mengshan bandits! Regardless of the defense of various places, at the very least, they can mobilize a thousand or hundreds of people to encircle and suppress themselves. Now this situation is completely because of the special surname of the thief of the Mengshan bandit, as soon as he entered the city, he began to burn and loot, plus he didn't expect that he was so bold, and three hundred people dared to go deep alone, so he had the offensive that he had just now.
It's just that if Zhao Yu is trapped on this unknown street for a while, it won't take too long, two quarters of an hour! It was enough for the thieves to gather five or six hundred people to consolidate this dilemma. In another two quarters of an hour, it will not be a problem for more than 1,000 thieves here! The more time passes, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the ironclad capital.
The crisis weighed on his heart like a mountain, but Zhao Yu had no way to tell anyone about this mountain. Because the current crisis is enough to make everyone panic, if it is coupled with the future crisis, Zhao Yu is afraid that it will crush the morale of all the soldiers in the Iron Armor Capital.
It was just a sudden event that disrupted everyone's plans.
In ancient history books, it is said that every founding emperor would have some vision. The famous Liu Bang beheaded the White Snake Uprising. Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty of the first generation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which is relatively close to now, is said to have been seen with a red one-horned giant snake wrapped around him when he was sleeping, but when he woke up, it was gone.
In fact, these were all edited by the rulers in order to consolidate their power, that is, to make the lower classes of the people fearful, and they did not dare to rebel if they had no vision. However, at this moment, Zhao Yu felt that these so-called visions might be fake, but those who achieved great things must have their own luck!
Although the situation of the iron armor is very better because of the strong crossbow shooting, it is actually still struggling to support. The only thing you can do is to see if you can open up a house and break through the back wall!
In this case, a loud trumpet suddenly sounded in the city! It was the sound of the horn of retreat, and Zhao Yu could hear it very clearly, because the retreat of the Song army was also this horn frequency.
With the sound of a trumpet, a large flag appeared behind the wall of fire. The wall of fire burned fiercely, blocking the retreat of the iron armor. If Huoqiang is a real surname, now Zhao Yu guarantees that he can't help but give Huoqiang a warm hug. Why?
Because the light of the fire wall shines on the banner so that people can see it at a glance!
I saw six big characters written on the flag! Hussar General Song!
Isn't this the self-proclaimed official position of the current supreme commander of the Mengshan bandits? And the sound of the trumpet of retreat! Needless to say, I definitely want to retreat!
Although I don't know what the reason is, this is definitely the situation that Zhao Yu is most willing to see.
As for the one-eyed beard, he was already mad, wide-eyed and panting. roared: "The erector is not enough and conspiracy! The shaft is not enough and conspiracy! Bad things for thieves! Bad thing! Yes! ”
As he spoke, the one-eyed bearded man was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse. Fortunately, the nearby minions were still paying attention to him, and hurriedly held the one-eyed bearded man in mid-air. Otherwise, if he fell from his horse and landed on his head, the one-eyed bearded man would have to lie in bed for months, and if he was unlucky, it would not be impossible to go directly to the king of Yama.
How could this be?
This is still because Zhao Yu is advancing too fast, after the one-eyed beard is gone. The minions who came to deliver the war report one after another, this one just said that the street intersection was breached, and then left. There were already minions behind him who had crossed the threshold and came in to say that the last one of the streets had been breached.
In the end, the last straw that broke the balance in the second general's heart was the one-eyed bearded man himself!
What's going on?
It was all because of the deception of the one-eyed bearded man that the second general no longer dared to stay in the official office. Because when the one-eyed bearded man was defeated, how far was he from the official office? It's only three hundred steps!
One step in the Song Dynasty is a big step with Song Taizu's left foot, a big step with his right foot, and the distance crossed by the left and right feet is the length of the 'step'. These 300 steps are equivalent to a distance of 600 steps for a person! How far is it?
The shouting of killing can be clearly transmitted to the official office, where the one-eyed bearded man has just been defeated, and the second general and the leaders can see it clearly, where are they not frightened?
If it weren't for the fact that the battlefield of the two was jammed on the retreat road, the second general might have ordered to flee long ago!
Later, when I saw Zhao Yu chasing the one-eyed beard, the battlefield broke out on a street one hundred and seventy or eighty steps away. The second general also saw that things had taken a turn for the better, so he sent someone to investigate.
If you are really not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. The second general photographed the last batch of minions who came to report the news. This minion has seen the power of iron armor, and even knows that iron armor has horses! Where would it be closer?
Because his heart was full of fear of the iron armor, he didn't dare to approach, and after watching from a distance, he lied to the second general that the one-eyed bearded man's department was just using flames to stop the officers and soldiers for a while, and in fact, the one-eyed beard had already collapsed.
Since the Mengshan thieves defeated Cheng Lin's department, they have long been famous, and many big families in the vicinity are afraid of being ruined by the Mengshan bandits, so they quietly sent people to send tribute, just for a moment of peace.
The second general is still the same person as he was at the beginning, but his heart has long been corroded by gold and silver treasures and beauties. Knowing that time is good, where are you willing to work hard?
Without saying a word, he ordered a retreat, and he couldn't even say a word in a panic. However, these two generals retreated and retreated, and they still remember the sound of the flag and the horn of retreat.
The archers of the Three Hundred Bandits were the most realistic on the rooftops, and they had to rely on infantry to protect them to exert their might. If they are close, what kind of combat power do archers have?
In addition, they were allocated to the one-eyed bearded by the second general in the final analysis, and the one-eyed beard had very low binding power on them. The one-eyed bearded man had fainted, and some of the archers turned and fled from the rooftops.
Seeing that no one was drinking, the other archers hurriedly fled. Rushing to be the first, they also fought for the wooden ladder connecting the roof and the ground, and some jumped off the roof in a hurry, breaking their feet for this, and they all gritted their teeth and limped away.
