Chapter 144: Rescue

The situation on the battlefield has entered an unpredictable realm because of the sudden sound of the war drums of the whole army's attack in Xiang Liang's camp!

Hu Hai thought that the 10,000 veterans of the Six Nations would bring trouble to him, but he didn't expect that the 10,000 veterans of the Six Kingdoms who originally attacked the South City Gate would give up the attack on the South City Gate on their own initiative when they saw the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army and without Xiang Liang's order, and instead met the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who were about to return to the West Gate from the catapult that destroyed the south city wall!

The one who led these veterans of the 10,000 Six Kingdoms to prepare for the attack was Xiang Yu's friend and general, Ji Bu!

Originally, Xiang Yu had a total of five fierce generals in history! Longji, Yingbu, Jibu, Zhongliwei and Yuzi period!

Yingbu and Jibu are not the same person!

Ji Bu was the first to throw himself into Xiang Yu, he was as promising as Xiang Yu, but because he read less and his surname was irritable, he could only be a general, and he could not lead an army alone. Ji Bu was a fierce general under Xiang Yu, and almost captured Liu Bang alive several times in the Chu-Han War (Battle of Pengcheng, Battle of Xingyang) because he could only be a general, until he retained his surname until Emperor Wen of Han died of illness.

It's just that now, Zhong Liwei is still on the way to Xianyang, and Yu Ji and Yu Ziqi, who were supposed to be Xiang Yu's wife, are both in Chengwu City! Obviously, Xiang Yu has no chance to have Yu Ji and the general Yu Zi period anymore!

Originally, Xiang Yu went north to Chengwu to find an ambush for Hu Hai, and Ji Bu, as Xiang Yu's friend and titan, should follow! However, at this time, there are indeed too few people under Xiang Liang who can really use and fight!

And in Chen County, Xiangliang needs to train troops, and this training must be best with his own people!

Therefore, after thinking about it, Ji Bu, who can only lead troops to fight, and does not have too many hearts and eyes, and is simple and affectionate, has become the best candidate!

When Xiang Liang led the troops north from Suiyang, the 30,000 veterans of the Six Nations have always been the finale elite in Xiang Liang's hands, and the person who commanded the 30,000 veterans of the Six Kingdoms was not only Xiang Liang himself, but also Ji Bu was able to lead 10,000 of them!

As for why Ji Bu gave up attacking the south city gate despite Xiang Liang's order and instead attacked the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who were about to return to the city, it was precisely because Ji Bu was too straightforward, and all he wanted was to avenge Xiang Liang, who he regarded as his uncle!

In Ji Bu's opinion, this city has been fought to this point, and no matter how it fights horizontally and vertically, it will definitely fight down! And these disgraced Qin cavalry who once beat Xiang Liang are obviously more challenging than fighting a city that must be broken!

Ji Bu thought simply, but it brought Hu Hai a lot of trouble!

When Xiang Liang's horn sounded, it was the moment when Weng Zhong led the army back to the city!

Hearing this horn, even if Hu Hai didn't know what it meant, Hu Hai could still guess that Xiang Liang must have taken the opportunity to attack in a big way!

Is this to keep the 2,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army or to break the city in one fell swoop?

In addition to the southern city wall, the trebuchets in the city began to throw stone bullets in the east, west, and north directions!

"Your Majesty, the dragon guard on the top of the city tower reports that the rebels are now colliding with the city cone on three sides, east, west and north!" Long Xuan reported to Hu Haiyu in a low voice!

"Go and order someone to seal the three gates of the east, west and north with big stones! How many trebuchets are there in the city? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are already two hundred trebuchets in the city now, but ......" Long Xuan said here a little stumbling!

"But what?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Tian Rong has come to report that there are not enough materials in the city to make catapults! The people have torn down all the houses that can be demolished, and all the wood that can be used to make trebuchets has been used! Now there is only the county government that has not been demolished! ”

"Then go and dismantle the county office!" Hu Hai didn't hesitate at all!

"Your Majesty......"

"I'll live in the big tent." Hu Hai interrupted Long Xuan's words!

"Whoa!"

"Go ahead! Well, by the way, Weng Zhong is back in the city! ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Before Hu Hai's words fell, he heard Weng Zhong's loud voice sound!

"Say Cao Cao Arrive! Okay, you go and lead the people to block the east and west! Go ahead! Hu Hai heard Weng Zhong's voice and said to Long Xuan with a smile! For Long Xuan's doubts because he heard the word "Cao Ying", he directly ignored it!

"To Your Majesty!"

Weng Zhong came a few steps away from Hu Hai, and with both hands, he bowed to Hu Hai with the head of Xiang Zhuang placed on the wooden plate! And in order not to scare Hu Hai, he used a tattered linen cloth to cover the staring Xiang Zhuang!

But from the shape of the linen cloth, Hu Hai could also tell that it was a human head!

"Whose head is this?" Hu Hai asked!

"Eh, back to Your Majesty, I don't know!" Weng Zhong seemed to want to scratch his head when he heard this, but when he was about to do it, he found that both hands were useful, so he had to shake his head unnaturally!

"Alright, put it aside! Can the Xuanwu Army fight again? Hu Hai didn't dwell on this problem, in his opinion, the people besieging the city now are cannon fodder-level characters, and even if there are generals in it, it is impossible to be an important figure in Xiang Liang's rebels!

Weng Zhong knew that there was another battle when he heard Hu Hai's words, so he casually threw the tray in his hand to the guards behind him, and hurriedly said: "The Xuanwu Army can fight again!" ”

"Well, you immediately lead the army out of the city from the south gate and rescue the two thousand cavalry outside the city back to the city! Be quick! Don't fall into the army of Xiang Liang's thieves! ”

"The last will obey!"

"Slow ......down," Hu Hai seemed to think of something, and then waved his hand at Weng Zhong, who turned around, and said, "It's nothing." There you go! ”

When Weng Zhong left, Hu Hai summoned a dragon guard and said: "You go and order Xiahou Ying, Fan Xu, and Long Xuan, as soon as a rebel army climbs up to the top of the city, immediately use rockets to ignite the fire oil on the city wall!" Ordered Du Teng to lead 2,000 people to the southern city wall to support Weng Zhong with crossbow arrows! ”

Du Teng led 2,000 people to guard the Nancheng Yongdao!

Long Wei went to pass the order and didn't mention it!

At this moment, two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army outside the city were wantonly slashing and killing the rebel soldiers who were running around in panic on the battlefield! It's fundamentally different from the 10,000 veterans of the Six Nations led by Ji Bu to engage in the war!

Not because of anything else, Ji Bu's more than ten zhang long city cone was originally used to break through the city gate, but now it has become a sharp weapon to block the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army!

Although the armor on the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army can resist ordinary weapons, it can't hit the wood alive! In this way, even if these cavalrymen are covered with steel, they will be deflated!

Therefore, the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army have been galloping on the battlefield, which is different from the 10,000 veterans of the six countries who are chasing and running!

And the rest of the rebel soldiers, without forming a fixed and tight phalanx of foot soldiers, could hardly resist the charge of ordinary cavalry, let alone face the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army whose whole body was covered in armor!

In a short time, nearly a thousand rebel soldiers were crushed into pulp by 2,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, who came and went freely and ran like flying!

There are more than 20,000 rebel soldiers under the southern city wall, and no one dares to beat the edge of the Xuanwu army's heavily armored foot soldiers!

And Ji Bu saw that he couldn't catch up with the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who couldn't catch up like the wind, so he no longer stupidly led more than 10,000 people to follow the heavy city cone behind the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army to eat ashes, but drove directly to a place less than fifty steps away from the south city gate and waited for it!

At this distance, no matter how the heavy cavalry runs, they can't avoid it if they want to go back to the city!

And at this time, Xiang Liang had already beaten the drum to urge the whole army to attack, if these cavalry ran to other places, then they would soon eventually fall into the encirclement of the heavy army, and it was impossible for the general scattered soldiers to stop these cavalry covered in armor!

However, they obviously had to go through the city gate when they returned to the city, as long as the city gate was opened, then the army could follow these cavalry and rush in! The city is broken! Where can these cavalry run in the city?

Jibu thinks beautifully!

However, the situation of the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army was even worse than Ji Bu thought!

It has been almost half an hour since the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army left the city! The cavalry of the Xuanwu Army on horseback is no big problem, but the war horse that has galloped for half a day with a weight of one or two hundred catties has reached the limit!

All the heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army can tell the condition of their mounts from the trembling muscles and rapid panting of the war horse! But they didn't dare to stop!

If they stop, they will be surrounded by countless rebel soldiers! At that time, there was really no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth!

They're waiting!

They are waiting for reinforcements from His Majesty the Emperor!

All the heavy cavalry of the Xuanwu Army had a belief in their hearts, that is, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not abandon them outside the city and leave them to fend for themselves! It's not about reverence! It's just intuition and trust!

If Hu Hai, who really thought about giving up and finally stopped Weng Zhong but didn't say the sentence "give up if you can't do anything", knew the thoughts of these heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, he would definitely be embarrassed!

The slamming open south gate confirmed the speculation of all the heavy cavalry!

Regarding the opening of the city gate behind him, Ji Bu first looked incredulous, and then ecstasy! This Qin Emperor is really stupid and boundless, and now that the city gate is opened, isn't it equivalent to giving Chengwu City away!

If your 10,000 troops are not in the city, the key is that your 10,000 elite veterans are less than fifty steps away from the city gate! It's only a matter of a dozen breaths to run with all your might!

In the roaring footsteps, the 1,600-strong Xuanwu Army's heavily armored infantry phalanx with undried blood on its bodies opened out from the south gate of Chengwu City, which was opened!

"Kill!"

Seeing these Qin soldiers wrapped in Sensen's armor, Ji Bu suddenly let out a loud shout and rushed out first! Behind him, 10,000 veterans of the Six Nations just followed, holding a city cone more than ten zhang long!

Is your armor strong or is this crashing cone thick!?

The more than 20,000 rebel soldiers who were originally surrounded under the city wall had already been killed by the 2,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, and they scattered and fled!

Behind the veterans of the Six Kingdoms who had been slaughtered by these 10,000, the two thousand heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army who were originally wandering around suddenly changed their direction and rushed towards the south city gate! And hundreds of steps behind the Xuanwu army, it was a dense army of Xiang Liang, which was overwhelmingly covering up!
