040 Bloody Battle at the City Gate

In this battle, more than 3,000 people were beheaded, 10,000 people were surrendered, and all of them were young and strong, and the captured armor and weapons were not counted, and hundreds of war horses were killed! Of the 17,000 Black Mountain bandits, only three or four thousand escaped.

The general who had misunderstood Tian Feng before the war only realized at this time that many black mountain thieves had eaten enough, and they were captured because they couldn't run fast, and he couldn't help but throw himself to the ground with the five bodies that the two military advisors admired.

Zhang Jaw retracted the pawns, and ordered Guo Jing to take the good words and persuasion of the Xuanfu officials under his command, some coercion and temptation, more than 10,000 soldiers saw that they could not die, and heard that there were all kinds of benefits of joining the Julu army, and they were all grateful and were willing to go to Yiyang with Zhang Jaw.

Zhang Jaw immediately sent two thousand soldiers to escort this group of surrendered troops and then slowed down, and he led 1,500 horse infantry troops to Yiyang quickly, this battle lasted for almost two hours, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about Wang Li and Murong Ping.

But it was said that Yiyang's black mountain thieves were guarding the city, at dusk, suddenly heard the sound of killing in the north, and the guard Li Cheng hurriedly climbed the city to lookout, only to see the dust in the north, a group of their own soldiers and horses fled to the direction of the city gate, behind, hundreds of officers and soldiers chased and killed, and many people screamed and fell!

Li Cheng hurriedly went down to the city to lead the soldiers and horses to answer, and just introduced his own defeated soldiers into the city, and was about to fight a decisive battle with the official army, when he heard a shout of killing behind him! Hundreds of defeated soldiers set fire to the city gates! Li Cheng was frightened when he saw the fire in the city, and hurriedly led the troops back to rescue, and in the chaos, he met Murong Ping, who pretended to be the defeated army of Montenegro, and was shot off his horse by an arrow, and the thief army saw that the guards would be killed, and there was a big chaos! For a while, it was impossible to organize a decent offensive. Murong Ping cut off the sling, and with the help of the geographical advantage, he lined up the array, and resisted the attack of thousands of Black Mountain thieves!

"Raise your bow! Shoot the arrows! Stand back and get ready! The second row is on the line! Under the city gate, Murong Ping shouted hoarsely! Every time he roars, dozens of arrows will be shot behind him, Murong Ping's archery skills are outstanding, and his soldiers and horses also practice archery with him, and the five hundred soldiers brought this time, there are two hundred people with bows and arrows, but the city gate is narrow, and the formation can't be opened at all! A single salvo can only shoot twenty or thirty arrows.

However, the Black Mountain Thieves were poorly equipped, and many of them were uncovered by armor, and rushed forward with only flesh and blood! The thieves are so dense that even the effort of aiming has been omitted, and every small wave of arrows can shoot down a piece!

However, it was obvious that the bow and arrow alone could not withstand the flood of thieves, and one of Murong Ping's tun strode to the forefront, shouting: "Spearman, come forward and prepare!" Stay arrayed! ”

Ten spearmen lined up in a neat line, they stood silently with their guns in their hands, maintaining an assassination posture, once a group of Black Mountain thieves approached, they would roar loudly and pounce forward as quickly as leopards! The spear in his hand pierced the soft body of the black mountain thief like a poisonous snake, and most of it was critical!

And the Black Mountain thieves have been trained hard, and they have all kinds of weapons in their hands, so they can't organize an effective offensive at all! Every time the giant deer pikemen pounced forward, a few thieves would fall to the ground, and if anyone on their side was injured or killed, they would have soldiers prepared behind them to replenish them!

When the Montenegrin thieves saw the official army attacking the city, they were worried that the grain and grass they had snatched before had been taken away, and they burst out with amazing fighting spirit and fought to the death one by one! Julu has been robbed by Black Mountain thieves over the years, and its enmity with thieves is as deep as the sea! It's also not timid! The two armies fought fiercely on the narrow road of the city gate, and in a short time, the corpses piled up!

Compared to the ease in the doorway, the battle near the drawbridge outside the city can be called tragic! There were 2,000 soldiers from the Black Mountain thieves who went out of the city to meet them! Now he was stopped outside the city by Murong Ping's five hundred soldiers! These thieves are like arrows, and they frantically rush towards Murong Pingbu! All you want is to annihilate the lone army and enter the city! Two flanking attacks, plus there are no more than 500 soldiers in the city gate, the thieves at the head of the city are condescending, and from time to time a rain of arrows comes! In just a moment, Murong Ping's troops suffered nearly 100 casualties!

The five hundred cavalry under Wang Li's command pursued and killed the Black Mountain thieves outside the city, and they also won a lot for a while, but the two thousand Black Mountain thieves were crowded together, and they couldn't kill them, and they couldn't rush in for a while! The rain of arrows shot from the top of the city made him quite jealous for a while, and he didn't dare to get too close!

All of a sudden, the city gate became the focus of contention between the two sides!

It's a pity that this situation lasted less than a quarter of an hour, Murong Ping was attacked by the enemy left and right, and the situation was critical, and the generals commanded by the Black Mountain Thieves saw that the giant deer army that could not annihilate the city gate in a short period of time, and ruthlessly ordered the soldiers under his command to throw the torches and stones down from the city tower! After only a while, half of the door bucket was blocked!

Murong Ping saw that the situation was critical, and although he was helpless, he had to grit his teeth and wave his troops into the city! Suddenly surrounded by thousands of Black Mountain thieves in the core!

The Black Mountain thieves outside the city followed closely into the city, and Wang Li's light cavalry also rushed in! Hundreds of giant deer army fought with several times their own Black Mountain thieves in the city, and there was no formation at this time, only the fighting skills and willpower of the sergeants were competing between the two sides!

"Rush! Armored spearmen rush forward! Archers release arrows to support! Take down the head of the city! ”

"Set fire to the house! Put rockets! Cut off the Black Mountain thieves who came to help from the city! ”

"Inform Wang Li's light cavalry to move the wood and stone of the city gate!"

Although the scene was chaotic, Murong Ping still tried to keep his head clear, and the orders were conveyed like a stream! There was only one belief in his mind, to hold on until reinforcements arrived!

There is chaos inside and outside the city gate, but even if it loses the advantage of the formation, the skills of the giant deer army are far from being comparable to the rabble of the Black Mountain thieves, the five hundred soldiers and horses brought by Murong Ping are all veterans who have undergone strict training, and they have been baptized by the battle of Yangjiabao or Tiger Prison Pass, compared to the Black Mountain bandit army with many homeless people, the combat power is more than a few points! I saw hundreds of soldiers rushing straight into the dense thief array, like a bloody meat grinding machine, step by step firmly advancing towards the city wall! Wang Li led hundreds of light horsemen to rush and kill frantically, and stopped most of the thieves who rushed towards Murong Ping!

It's just that there are too many bandits in Montenegro, and even those old and weak have already rushed forward! For the food they have worked so hard to loot, these homeless people have done their best!

The resistance of the Black Mountain thieves at the head of the city was especially fierce! They are all relatively elite foot soldiers among the thieves, and they know very well that if this group of officers and soldiers occupies the favorable terrain at the head of the city, it is inevitable that Yiyang City will be lost, so they try their best to suppress the officers and soldiers who rushed up the city steps!

Murong Pingbu withstood the rain of arrows like locusts, and moved forward with difficulty, and every time he climbed a step, someone would fall to the ground with arrows! In the more than 100 steps from the city gate to the city tower, nearly half of the giant deer soldiers fell on this road!

With such a difficult way to kill and disperse the defenders at the head of the city, occupying a favorable position at the head of the city, Murong Ping suddenly felt that the pressure from all directions was light, and he just looked around, at this time, there were only less than two hundred soldiers around him! At this time, he could no longer care about the heavy losses of his soldiers under his grief, and roared in a hissed voice: "Array! Hold on to help! ”

At first, he thought that as long as he rushed into the city this time, the Black Mountain thieves would definitely flee in chaos, and he didn't want them to resist so stubbornly for the sake of the grain and grass they had robbed! Put your own sergeants in a bitter battle!

Wang Li's light cavalry casualties were also extremely heavy, in order to cover Murong Ping's landing in the city, the light cavalry that won with speed in order to block the surging Black Mountain thieves, the casualties were more than half, at this time, seeing that Murong Ping's troops finally landed in the city, more than 200 horsemen fought out a bloody road, roaring into the depths of the county!
