Chapter 661: Escape

Xu Sheng's angry horizontal knife couldn't stop Pei Xingyan's copper hammer, and the horizontal knife had time to lift the hammer to the top of his head, and the copper hammer smashed on the back of the horizontal knife, and when it slammed the horizontal knife into Xu Sheng's angry iron helmet, almost at the same time, the copper hammer followed the horizontal knife and smashed on his head.

The iron helmet was smashed straight in, and a large head scattered like a broken watermelon. The skull shattered, and the red blood and white brains mixed together and stirred out. Because the distance was too close, a few pieces of minced meat stuck to Pei Xingyan's face. He took a step back, raised his hand to wipe the flesh and blood off his face, and without looking at Xu Shengfu, who was slowly falling, he strode towards the trapped Tang cavalry.

"The general has an order, you will surrender and not kill!"

Pei Xingyan's personal soldiers shouted loudly, and then the soldiers of the Yanyun Army, who surrounded the cavalry of the Tang Army, shouted in unison.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

Trapped in the gun array, the Tang cavalry was still fighting to the death, as the shouts sounded, the soldiers of the Yanyun Army retreated back to leave an open space, although the battle was only a stick of incense from the beginning to now, but more than half of the Tang cavalry killed in the battle, and the rest of the people were almost all wounded, and less than one percent of the people were still riding on the war horses, and there were not even three hundred people who could stand. There was no doubt that if the soldiers of the Yanyun Army did not retreat, they would be slaughtered if they held on for a stick of incense at most.

Pei Xingyan strode to the front of the formation, looked at the Tang cavalry in front of him covered in blood, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yan's will, you are also the sons of the Han family, and my brothers in the Yan Yunjun are from ordinary backgrounds, this fight is all because of the emperor in the city, and King Yan has no choice but to do it." If you are willing to surrender, King Yan will treat you like my brothers in the Yan Yunjun. ”

"Surrender?"

A Tang military captain wiped the blood from his forehead, shook his head with a wry smile and walked in front of everyone. He first hugged his fists and saluted Pei Xingyan, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the general's grace not to kill, but ......"

He looked back at those comrades, and said in a hoarse and sad voice: "The brothers who were selected to charge the battle this time are all in Chang'an City, this is the will of His Majesty the Emperor himself, and everyone naturally understands what it is. If we surrender, our wives and children and parents are afraid that they will not end well. From the day we were chosen to go out of the city and charge, we had no way out. ”

"We surrender, and we will bring disaster to our families."

He looked at Pei Xingyan, his voice trembled slightly, and said: "So thank you for the kindness of the general, thank you for the kindness of King Yan, but we can't obey the order!" ”

"We don't want to die!"

A Tang soldier who was only sixteen or seventeen years old fell to the ground with a wail, and he looked at the captain and cried: "I don't want to die...... I haven't lived enough, I haven't married a wife and had children, and I haven't inherited the Liu family for my family! I don't want to die......"

"Who wants to die?"

The lieutenant laughed miserably and asked, "Ask the brothers, who wants to die?" ”

"But if we don't die, what will happen to our parents at home?"

He looked at his soldiers and said loudly: "I don't force you, if you are willing to surrender, throw away your weapons, King Yan will definitely not deceive us, you also know that today is a certain death, Yan Yunjun does not need to let us live." If you still care about your relatives at home, stand with me, and don't bother the brothers of Yan Yunjun to do it, we will cut it ourselves! ”

Hearing these words, some of the cavalry of the Tang Army couldn't help but drop their horizontal swords, squatted on the ground and cried. Someone walked up to the captain with a blank face, and there was still a hint of sparkle in his eyes.

"Idiot!"

Pei Xingyan scolded and said: "If you don't die, you will be included in my Yanyun army, and tell the truth when you go to the outside of the city early tomorrow morning to call for battle, will Li Yuan still dare to order your family to be killed?" If he does, he will lose the hearts of the people! ”

"That's right!"

Someone's eyes lit up, and they seemed to see a way out: "As long as we tell this before the battle, the emperor will definitely not dare to order the killing!" ”

The lieutenant was stunned, and then threw the horizontal knife on the ground in a dejected manner, and couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but think in his heart, as long as we people tell this thing, the emperor may not attack our family because of helplessness, but the emperor's reputation will also plummet, and King Yan ...... Good calculation!

He was born in a family, and he naturally thought about things much more deeply than those soldiers from poor families. At this time, he actually thought of the purpose of King Yan's doing. But who can resist the temptation to survive? There are so many things like seeing death as home, most of the rumors are lies, no one wants to die, even if they can live a few more days than die in a blur of flesh and blood, and they can't even leave a whole corpse.

"Lowered ......"

He looked at Pei Xingyan and slowly knelt down.

……

……

The battle in the east of the city ended quickly, from Xu Shengnu leading the light cavalry into the company camp of the Yanyun Army to the surrender of more than 400 remnants, but the battle in the south of the city exceeded everyone's expectations.

Wei Tianchui is a general under the command of Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Tanguo, who is famous for his superb martial arts, and few people are his opponents in the army. This person has also made a lot of contributions in several battles, and there are dozens of lives in his hands. After killing too many people, there is no reverence for life, but it does not mean that you will not cherish your life.

From the very beginning of the charge, Wei Tianchui knew that he would never succeed today.

Different from Pei Xingyan's tactics, from the very beginning, Niu Jinda did not let the archers line up to the top, but let the archers retreat, and thousands of infantry with shields formed a concave formation and put the Tang cavalry into the camp. And the cavalry of the Tang Army, who rushed into the camp, did not have time to rejoice, and found themselves in a heavy encirclement.

The infantry of the Yanyun Army, holding a tall giant shield, stood next to each other, and the dense shields formed a wall one after another. The cavalry of the Tang Army, who rushed into the camp, suddenly woke up, and it was too late to rein in their horses and plan to withdraw. The shield arrays around them began to close, and the heavy formations slowly pressed up.

The soldiers hiding behind those giant shields were completely covered, and no matter how sharp the lance in the hands of the Tang cavalry was, they couldn't find the target! In front of them was a neat and continuous shield array, and the long lance stabbed indiscriminately could not hurt the soldiers of the Yanyun Army at all!

And just after the shield array was encircled, the Tang soldiers hiding behind the giant shield began to exert their might, behind each row of giant shield hands was a row of soldiers holding throwing guns, when the shield array was close to the Tang cavalry within twenty steps, with Niu Jinda giving an order, countless throwing guns flew out from behind the giant shield, and smashed into the Tang cavalry army formation like a torrential rain.

For a while, the wailing sound resounded in the sky, and the Tang soldiers had no way to hide, and the back road was blocked by their comrades and they couldn't turn around at all, and if they rushed forward, it was also a dead end.

"Crash them away!"

Wei Tianchui, who was in the last team, ordered loudly: "Rush forward, only by knocking the shield array away can you live, don't stop as a target, rush forward!" ”

He shouted, but secretly turned his horse and rushed back. Taking advantage of the fact that Yan Yunjun had not yet counterattacked, he had time to rush outside the Mingde Gate. As long as the city gate is opened and he returns to the city, with the importance that Tan Guogong attaches to himself, he will not be too embarrassed by himself. He didn't know that Xu Shengnu in the east of the city had chosen a diametrically opposite path, and if he knew, he wouldn't change his choice.

It's a trap at all!

Wei Tianchui scolded in his heart, Yan Yunjun had already been prepared, not to mention a surprise attack, even if Tan Guogong mobilized tens of thousands of troops to break through, he might not be able to break away from the Yanyun army's company camp.

So he simply chose to flee for his life.

The dense throwing spears were thrown endlessly, and the gathered Tang cavalry was torn off their horses by throwing spears one by one. It was like a huge and dense hail crashing into a pond, stirring up a splash of blood on the surface of the water. The leather armor on the light horsemen could not stop the heavy and sharp spears, and stopping was the deadliest mistake they made.

It is impossible to imagine such a terrible, dense pitching of spears covering the past, the cavalry and war horses cannot dodge at all, and as the shield array gradually closes, it seems that their last way of life is about to be cut off.

……

……

Wei Tiantui fled with more than a dozen personal soldiers, and as he escaped from the battle, the rear of the Tang cavalry also collapsed, and the soldiers turned their horses' heads and ran back behind Wei Tianchui, and the crowd behind them dispersed, and the cavalry in front also had a way to live, and the rout spread out at an unstoppable speed at the beginning.

The Tang army fled immediately as soon as he rushed to kill, and he didn't even think of Niu Jinda. He originally thought that since he came to charge the battle, the Tang army would definitely have the heart of death. There weren't many cavalrymen coming, apparently intending to rush out for help. In this case, there is no reason to be defeated in the first place.

But that's what happened, it's a joke, it's a very cold joke.

Wei Tianzhui galloped all the way, relying on his war horse to lead all the way to Mingde Gate. He beat his horse like crazy, telling himself that if he rushed to the city gate, he would survive.

In front of the city tower of Mingde Gate, Zhang Gongjin, who was holding the battlements and looking at the outside, was pale, and his hand was holding the city bricks, because the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging.

"Shoot the arrows!"

He squeezed two words out of the corners of his mouth and walked away.

A rain of arrows covered the walls, mixed with heavy crossbows the thickness of calves. The cavalry of the Tang Army who fled back did not die at the hands of Yan Yunjun, but at the hands of their comrades. Wei Tianchui was extremely unlucky, and half of his body was directly shattered by a heavy crossbow, and the corpse that fell to the ground looked as disgusting as half a maggot. And what is embarrassing is that his war horse is intact, and there is no injury on his body.

The war horse stood alone next to Wei Tianchui's corpse, constantly arching his master's body with his mouth in an attempt to wake him up. A soft call came from its mouth, but how could the already cold corpse respond to it?

Not far behind the war horse, white feathers covered a layer, and hundreds of elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were all shot to death here, and none of them touched the city gate that was already within reach.

Those who want to die die, and those who want to survive die.

Zhang Gongjin didn't take a second look outside, his lips twitched, and his face was cold.

On the city gate of the West Inner Garden, Liu Hongji drank all the wine in the pot and shed a line of tears.
