Chapter 493

The results of the attack on Qianniuwei came out, and more than 9,000 people in the Dongcheng battalion of Qianniuwei were surrendered or killed, and there was not much loss to the two guards here. But the result of the camp in the east of the city made Situ Lei and Murong Cheng's faces turn blue. Situ Lei, in particular, seems to be a little older. He was already in his fifties, but now he looked even older.

Speaking of Situ Lei, no one else is to blame. Originally, Murong Cheng wanted to target Qianniuwei, and he went to assist. But he had to pull his son up to fight for merit, but the result was good, Mao didn't catch one, not to mention the loss of the soldiers, but also folded himself and his son in.

It was precisely because of Situ Lei's loss that he was extremely dissatisfied with Situ Lei's advantage at the beginning, and now he is secretly happy.

The Qianniuwei battalion lost a lot of soldiers and soldiers, and 20,000 of his subordinates were killed, many of whom died after being wounded. There are also nearly 30,000 injured, although there is no major problem, I am afraid that it will also cause a shadow in my heart.

Of course, it was still effective under the anger of the two, and the spies all over Yongzhou detected the whereabouts of Zhao Mang, a soldier of 10,000 soldiers. The result was, of course, a big fight. At the cost of 3,000 people, 5,000 Niu guards were left, and finally left because of the support of the Xiaoguo army of Taihang Mountain.

Subsequently, the court and the central government cleanly declared the Xiaoguo army as a rebel army and Zhao Xun as a rebel, and ordered people with lofty ideals to kill him. Whoever kills Zhao Xun, Feng Hou!

The former guard Qianniuwei is gone, the guardian of Dongcheng District is gone, and soon the people and businessmen here found that Qianniuwei is compared to them, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, and their hearts are secretly tilted to the side of Qianniuwei.

…………

Zhao Xun's army gathered in Dongwu City, which borders Qingzhou, and did not rush to take advantage of the road and kill Langya Mansion, because he had to wait for the action of the Middle Route Army. There are no rescuers outside. There is no defensible city within it, which is the most basic military principle. Only by completely severing the connection between the southern guards of Qingzhou and Yanzhou can they be dealt a fatal blow. Now the Qingzhou Guards, the original task was to suppress the Xuzhou rebels, but because the two generals and the Xiaoguo Army stood up, the guards were forced to divide into two, Langya Mansion had 30,000 people, and Donglai Mansion, Lingzhou Mansion and other places had more than 50,000 people.

For Zhao Xun, the northern guards were already under siege by the Xiaoguo army, and there was no way to retreat. However, the southern guards could still retreat to Yanzhou and then return to Yongzhou. And Zhao Xun does not have the energy to confront the Yanzhou government army now, forming a direct contradiction.

The commander of the Middle Route Army was Li Huaiyuan, and his troops were not slow to move with Zhao Xun's Eastern Route Army, and when Zhao Xun completed his goal, he also attacked Wuyang Mansion in the southeast of Daoji Prefecture.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"

After three short trumpet sounds, a low and long horn sounded through the sky, and outside Pingsi City, the army of Xiaoguo Army rushed in the direction of Beicheng like a tide. Hearing the trumpet, they gathered.

Outside the north of Pingsi City, 10,000 Xiaoguo Army Infantry and 10,000 Beihai Cavalry gathered under the banner of the red flame unicorn, and the red banner was like a unicorn ready to fly, swinging up and down in the wind. Li Lingfeng stood on a leaping horse, his slender and steady body standing straight on top of the war horse.

Compared with the Xiaoguo Army and the Yan Army, one is like a steel forest, and the other is looser. The entire north gate of Pingsi City was silent, only the occasional snort of the war horse could be heard clearly, the heaven and earth were filled with the solemnity of today's suffocation, and tens of thousands of pairs of cold eyes looked at the city tower, looking at the defenders on the city tower.

Li Huaiyuan waved the long sword in his hand fiercely.

"Break the city, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

"Break the city. Chickens and dogs don't stay! ”

"Break the city, chickens and dogs don't leave ......"

Outside the north gate, three earth-shattering shouts suddenly sounded, and the sound pierced the void like sharp arrows, and clearly reached the ears of every defender on the city tower.

"Those who surrender will not die, and those who insist on resisting will be killed!"

"Captain, we ...... Can we hold on? They're a strong army! Even the northern hus have surrendered, this ......," a pawn on the tower of the city asked tremblingly.

The main general of the defenders of Pingsi City showed a wry smile on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "We are the army of the imperial court, the army of the country, how can we bend down to the traitors. ”

"Quickly open the city gate and surrender, if you don't surrender, break the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

The deafening shouts of the Xiaoguo army under the city, the thunderous sound of the explosion soared straight into the clouds, and the defenders on the city tower changed their faces one after another, and all of them showed fear.

"Big ...... Adult, open ...... Open the door, or we will be killed...... Kill them all. A junior colonel stammered to Li Huaiyuan and said, "Pingsi City is too ...... It's too small to keep it. ”

"Come on, behead this guy who disturbs the morale of the army on the spot!" The city lord will see the fear on the faces of the soldiers around him. Immediately, his eyes sharpened, and he shouted: "These Xiaoguo troops are all thief troops, besides, most of them are cavalry, and they have no siege equipment, how to attack the city?" Everyone must not be intimidated by the reputation and momentum of the Xiaoguo Army, and we will defend this city and fight to the death. ”

Immediately, two sword and axe hands rushed over like a wolf, holding the little colonel down the female wall, and couldn't help but struggle directly to slash down, the blood splattered, and the head was thrown away, and the red blood made all the defenders on the city tower shiver violently, and no one dared to open the door and surrender.

"Fight to the death?" Downstairs in the city, Li Huaiyuan stared at him and laughed coldly.

"Zhou Hang, take someone to break open the gate of this small city for me! A small city with a small projectile dares to block my way, and I don't know whether I am alive or dead! ”

I saw a dozen or so strong men with an average height of one head tall, wearing heavy armor, holding a log wrapped in iron sheets. At the same time, he roared and strode towards the city gate.

The defender general woke up in shock and yelled bitterly: "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Rolling wood, smash me! ”

The defenders, who had been stunned, were stunned for a few seconds, and finally reacted, there were those who shot arrows with bows, and there were also those who picked up the rolling log and smashed them down, but none of them caused any casualties to these extremely fast, heavily armored strong men.

"Knock knock ......" The defenders on the three-zhang high city wall suddenly felt their feet tremble.

"Hold the gates, hold the gates!" The main defender hurried down from the tower, and shouted to the gatekeepers in the city as he ran: "Find more planks and sticks, and make the top of the gate strong!" Rush forward, you guys, carry it on your shoulders and your heads, and don't let them break the gates, ...... quickly."

I have to say that the city of this small county town is really not very good, and the entire city gate is shaking back and forth. The dozens of soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to disobey. They crowded behind the gates, trying to build a barrier with their flesh to defend the gates.

"Bang ......"

There was a loud bang like thunder, and the heavy gate shook violently, and gravel and earth fell from the top of the gate, and all the guards inside the gate widened their eyes in horror, because the gate was so strong in their eyes. At this time, it looks even thinner and more vulnerable than the door of his own house......

"Bang ......"

There was another more violent explosion, and the city gate shook even more violently. And it began to creak, and the thigh-thick beam that held the gate had begun to bend. What's even more frightening and inexplicable is that a terrible crack has already appeared on the crosswood......

"Hold on! Resist! ”

"Bang ......"

"Quack Quack ......"

Piercing grinding sounds. The gate shook violently at the end, and then slowly toppled inward, through the cracked crack in the door. The thick log came at you. A dark black glow emanated from the log, shocking the hearts of the soldiers behind the door. What if it hits me? The soldier couldn't help but think.

"My lord, the city gate is broken, and ...... is over"

One of the gatekeepers screamed in horror and instinctively began to back down.

"Hold on, don't retreat!" The main general of the city guard, that is, the captain of the military academy of the city government, held a sword, and threatened hoarsely, "Whoever dares to retreat, cut ...... decided"

"One-two, bump!"

Outside the city gate, a dozen or so big men let out a thunderous roar, and pushed the log in their hands out fiercely, and the gate was smashed open.

Outside the city, Li Huaiyuan slowly raised his right arm, the long sword in his hand was held high above the top, and a ray of sunlight shone on the silver blade through the delayer, and it was dazzlingly cold in an instant. With a faint smile on his face, as if he was not on the battlefield, he was not fighting a war, perhaps, this was what Li Huaiyuan looked like in the past when he fought in the south and the north.

"Purr ......"

The heavy snort of the war horse sounded, tens of thousands of horses' hooves gently knocked on the ground, making a dull sound, swords and guns were like a forest, and the sharp blades flashing with cold light pierced the sky, and Daewoo began to fill the air with a bleak killing machine, and the long-waiting cavalry was like a hungry wolf, showing Bai Sensen's fangs.

"Cavalry charge! Blocker kill! Advance! The sharp sword in Li Huaiyuan's hand slashed down, as if it was about to split the air in half.

"Whoop ......" I have to say that the cavalry loves to roar blindly when they rush to kill, especially when they carry the hus.

In an instant, the rumbling hooves fell from the sky like rolling thunder, and the cavalry swept towards the small city that was not fortified, as if it had mentioned a black torrent......

"No, I can't hold it, withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

Seeing that the general situation was gone, the defender of Pingsi City finally ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the government army, which had already been frightened, retreated like a tide, and ran along the straight street in the middle to the south gate. Many soldiers who saw that they could not escape hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

On Pingsi City, the banner representing the rule of the imperial court fluttered and fell, replaced with a red flame unicorn flag, and Pingsi City fell in battle. In fact, this city is not very big, and it is not a heavy city, but for the Xiaoguo army that is about to enter Yanzhou, it is an extremely unstable factor. In order to ensure the safety of the rear operations, the rear must be completely cleared. In Zhao Xun's words, it can be slow now, we must be steady, and the guards and the court are more anxious than us.
