Chapter 13: Plotting to Defeat the Enemy
Yin Weixiu was resting at Liyang Gate a month ago, and was provoked by Xu Ruyu's words, Dan Xi lost control and attacked the sad pulse, and his back blade was shot by Xu Ruyu's secret arrow, and he didn't recover until now, but his face was still pale and ugly.
He stared viciously at the inner gate of Jingyang City, and with the collision of giant trees again and again, the solid city gate that was more than a foot thick, and the iron sheet covering it had been broken, and the sound of the wooden door cracking could be clearly heard in his ears.
It doesn't take long for the Jingyang Gate to open to you, and behind you are five thousand of the most elite warriors of Puji Island, and you can rush up with you. The city tower on the Jingyang Gate has collapsed, and the danger on the city wall does not exist, and there should be a low wall surrounded by a battlement wall on the inside, and then there is Neihao behind. The Neihao Bridge has not been demolished yet, such a person is really stupid, do you really think that Jingyangmen can stop the steps of the Puji Army? The lord is really right, Yongyang City is no longer fearless except for Xu Ruyu. Without Xu Ruyu's Yongyang City, there is such a hole in the defense.
Thinking of Xu Ruyu, Yin Weixiu's pale face suddenly turned blue, his ten fingers were bent and rattled, his eyes were soft and shining, his eyes were as fierce and sharp as the city gate, and he suddenly felt a sense of ominousness, his heart was in a trance, and he was filled with a burst of indescribable fear, and he clenched his heart tightly, and he gasped sharply like suffocation, and his face turned pale.
Yin Weixiu tried her best to calm down the fluctuations in her heart, and thought through all the details from the beginning again. Xu Ruyu was stabbed to death, as long as anyone who saw the lord destroy the world and shoot the earth, they would be convinced that Xu Ruyu was sure that he would die. Shen Deqian, Wan Rong and others were covered by a desperate look of horror, the morale of the defenders at the head of the city was far from that when Xu Ruyu arrived, my Puji army had climbed to the head of the city to meet with its short troops, if it weren't for the excessive loss of the ladder car and the lack of soldiers to climb the city, it would probably be possible to take the entire city tower now, but the advance sergeant at the head of the city still firmly occupied the position, holding on to the Yongyang army, just waiting for the five thousand elites behind me to break in, it would not take long to take the entire Jingyang Gate.
Yin Weixiu drove away the inexplicable fear in his heart, staring at the broken inner gate of Jingyang, through the cracked gap, Yin Weixiu could already see the blazing fire burning inside the city gate.
Yin Weixiu sneered a few times, and said secretly: Do you just want to block my steps with a few piles of firewood? At this time, the friendly troops who climbed to the top of the city sent a signal that they had occupied the ruins of the entire castle tower, and because the road to the city was sealed, they were attacking to both sides, preparing to occupy the road to the other sections of the city.
Yin Weixiu's heart thumped violently, and the inner door of the "one, two, and three ......" Jingyang Gate finally couldn't help but collide with the giant tree, and it shattered into dozens of pieces, and smashed into the raging flames. More than a dozen cave house cars rushed into the city from Yin Weixiu's side, and hundreds of sappers inside carried sand and soil, and quickly extinguished the fire on the inside of the city gate under the cover of the cave house cars.
Yin Weixiu shouted: "Give me a rush." He held up a rattan shield covered with a double layer of rhinoceros skin in one hand, and took the lead in rushing towards the city with a long knife in the other. Braving the sudden rain of arrows, he rushed to the front of the battlement car in the blink of an eye, and the long knife slashed it, and knocked over a wall-mounted car, kicking a ballista behind the wall, and the ballista was shattered by his feet, and several soldiers who were using the ballista were surging blood, flying and falling into the Neihao River.
Chu Wenchang picked up with a shot, straight to his left ribs, was backhanded by him, Dan Jin directly focused on the meridians, and took six steps back before pressing down the nausea on his chest, knowing that he couldn't retreat, if he didn't die to block it, this defensive line would not disintegrate in a moment, and he was about to raise his breath to attack, and a figure on his side had swept forward, resisting Yin Weixiu's attack.
Mei Liting's spear went straight through Yin Weixiu's left chest, and the momentum was so strong that Rao is Yin Weixiu also had to avoid it sideways, turning over and returning to his own formation. A wall truck on the side quickly sealed the gap. The Puji thieves poured into the city in an instant, and the number of people reached 1,000, and they slowly approached the battlement wall car with a high shield, and in an instant, the high shield was densely filled with arrows.
Mei Liting raised his gun and shouted: "Sijiao oblique shooting." "I saw the crossbow arrows shooting high and obliquely into the clouds, instantly falling like a shower, falling behind the thief's high shield array, and the miserable echo was endless. In a moment, the ballista arrows were launched, and at this time, more than 2,000 thieves had poured into the city, attacking the near side of the battlement car, and fighting with the Yongyang defenders across the low wall.
Mei Liting knew that it would be difficult to stop the elite combat power of the wolf-like Puji pirates in this defense, so he ordered the defenders at both ends to slowly approach the Neihao Bridge.
Seeing that the defenders were retreating and attacking more vigorously, the thieves rushed into the city and rushed towards the low wall, and the low wall temporarily constructed by hundreds of wall trucks was suddenly scattered. Three or four hundred Yongyang defenders did not have time to withdraw from the Neihao Stone Bridge, and in a moment they were slaughtered by thousands of thieves who swarmed up, and the blood flowed into Neihao, merging into a river of blood.
Yin Weixiu looked at the city wall behind him, and the left flank of the friendly army that climbed the city wall was only ten zhang away from advancing to the city road, and whether he led the army to rush across the Neihao Bridge, or the friendly troops on the city wall occupied the city road, the fate of Yongyang City's demise was destined to be irreversible.
Shen De looked at the thieves from the left side of the ruins of the city tower from the left side of the ruins, and behind him was the road to the city, and he couldn't retreat, if the thieves occupied the road to the city, rushed into the inner side of the Neihao River defense line, and cooperated with the enemy army under the city to occupy the Neihao Bridge, then Yongyang no longer had a strong line of defense to stop the 80,000 Puji bandits from pouring into the city from Jingyang Gate
Shen Deqian felt remorseful in his heart, why did he listen to the lobbying of Mei Tiecao and Mei Xuanmo's father and son in the first place, and murdered Xu Ruyu with them. Now if the retribution is immediate, without Xu Ruyu Yongyang defenders, they will lose their fighting spirit and courage like a body that has lost their soul, and they will be defeated and retreat as soon as they encounter the thieves who have climbed to the top of the city. Now there are four or five thousand thieves pouring into the city, and they are fiercely competing with the Yuhao camp for three Neihao stone bridges, and there are hundreds of corpses in the Neihao stone bridges in just a few zhang.
Shen De was distracted, and was stabbed in the right arm by the enemy general, stirring up a puddle of blood, and the heavy sword in his hand could no longer hold it, and fell on the city with a "clang", the shadow of the gun came, and the left hand grabbed the head of the gun, and the enemy general could not hold each other, a thief swung a knife and stabbed the right rib, Shen Deqian looked at the remaining knife shadow in the air, his heart darkened, and thought: This is the end.
A figure of Su blocked in front of him, and Shuangge struck the two of them left and right, blocking a mortal blow for himself. Shen De looked at this familiar figure like a god in a daze, and the name that came out of his mind was choked, but he couldn't think of anyone. The figure looked back and smiled, and the lotus flowers were unfolded one after another, reflecting on his mind.
Shen Deqian sat down on the ground in shock and exclaimed, "Captain." ”
Wan Rong, Xu Daofu, Zhong Ji and others were shocked when they saw Xu Ruyu standing alive at the head of the city, forgetting to resist the attack of the thieves, but fortunately, the Jingwei battalion led by Shen Binglu made up for his gap in time.
Shen Deqian, Xu Daofu, Zhong Ji, Wan Rong and others all knelt down under Xu Ruyu's knees, their shoulders and backs trembled, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Xu Ruyu shouted: "Raise your head." He drew an iron cluster of arrows, plucked them in two, and swore sharply: "Whoever pursues yesterday's incident should be so arrowed." Okay, after this battle, I will leave Yongyang, and you can lead your own troops to resist the enemy. ”
Shen Deqian, Xu Daofu, Zhong Ji, and Wan Rong raised their heads with tears on their faces, and their faces were full of deep remorse. Since Xu Ruyu appeared at the head of the city, the Yongyang defenders seemed to have taken a panacea, and suddenly became fierce, their arrogance rose immediately, and they rushed towards the enemy army at the head of the city with a shout in their mouths, and instantly pressed the thieves back several feet.
Yin Weixiu suddenly felt that the city head was abnormal, turned his head to look, only to see Xu Ruyu staring at himself, his eyes were cold, and his smile gave people an unfathomable feeling, and a feeling of something bad suddenly welled up in his heart, and he didn't wait for him to react, but he saw dozens of huge stone bullets flying out of thin air next to the inner side of the city wall, smashing towards himself, and constantly falling on the inside of Jingyang Gate.
The elite combat power of the 5,000 Puji bandits was encircled in a narrow area by Jingyangmen and Neihao River, and the stone bullets that were constantly dropped, and several people were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood with each blow. Countless thieves dodged the flying stones and fell into the Neihao River, but they were shot into a honeycomb by the Yongyang longbowmen guarding the river, and it didn't take a moment for the Neihao River to be five or six feet wide and full of floating corpses. A small number of masters among the thieves crossed the Neihao River, but they were entangled by the good men of the elite battalion, and they could not resist for long, and they were also killed one after another. Yin Weixiu watched the defenders on the outside of the Neihao River shoot rockets one after another, and the Neihao Bridge blocked several battlement wall cars, and his heart was filled with desperate thoughts, but he suddenly rose with a wave of anger, shouting wildly and rushing towards the Neihao Stone Bridge.
Xu Ruyu watched the thieves lose their minds and flock to the narrow Neihao Stone at the head of the city, and felt a trace of desolation in his heart, so he immediately opened his eyes, shot out a cold glow, and ordered in a voice without a trace of emotion: "Slaughter all the thieves in the city." ”
Gongliang Youqin had already identified Xu Ruyu's figure under the city at this time, although he didn't know why he was able to escape his broken gun, but he knew that he was against him, and the most elite combat power of 5,000 Puji was designed by him to seal in the city, if these 5,000 elites were lost, it would make him feel more heartache than the previous 20,000 corpses. Gongliang Youqin personally braved the arrows and stones and came to supervise the battle under the Jingyang City Gate. Everyone knows that this is the key to the battle between the two sides, if you can capture the road to the city, you can not only rescue the friendly troops who are sealed in the city, but also take advantage of the situation to occupy Jingyang Gate and attack the city.
Liang Bao vigorously beat the half-human-high cowhide war drum on Xu Ruyu's side, and the sound of "dong dong ......" sounded in the hearts of tens of thousands of Yongyang defenders. Xu Ruyu's mind is pure and cold, without a trace of impurities and dust, he stands at the first entrance to the city on the left side of Jingyang Gate, and does not move forward, nor retreats, accurate, fast and cold and ruthlessly issued every combat order, he knows that Gongliang Youqin is like a gamble red eye, as long as this road to the city is not sealed, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will never resolutely give up the five thousand elites in the city like a strong man breaking his wrist.
Xu Ruyu muttered to himself: "Then in this city, let your elites be consumed." ”
On the outside of the city wall, thousands of Yongyang defenders held high shields and shot at the thieves on the building cars and nest cars. After more than a month of siege warfare, Puji only had four or five vehicles left, and ten strong crossbows on it could no longer effectively suppress the arrow rain of the Yongyang defenders. The nest car was originally an armored reconnaissance vehicle, used to watch the movement in the city, with a cowhide carriage that could be lifted, and the longbowman was in it, if there was no crossbow to cooperate with the building car, the lifting rope was easier for the city marksman to shoot, and the cowhide carriage fell to the ground from a height, and the longbowman in it fell to his death. The thieves' nest cars gradually became unstoppable and were destroyed one after another.
From the battle in the sky to the dark, the waning moon rose, the cold light sprinkled on this tragic scene in the world, the morning star hung high in the east, and Gongliang Youqin was still driving the Puji bandits to climb the city tower.
Mei Liting looked at the enemy corpses that were constantly falling from the city, and couldn't help but feel a chill, and said secretly: Gongliang Youqin is enchanted. Gently lifted the placket of the robe to wipe off the blood from the tip of the three-star spear, and said to Xu Ruyu: "The thieves in the city are all like Yin Weixiu are enchanted, none of them are willing to surrender, and now it has been solved, our army mainly relies on stone-throwing crossbows, crossbow arrows, and rockets, and the casualties are less than a thousand." At the head of the city, our army used crossbows and sharp weapons, and the casualties were also very large, about 3,000 people, but the losses of the thieves should be more than 6,000. Do you want to drive the thieves out of the city now? ”
Shen Deqian was horrified in his heart when he listened, and the guards killed more than 10,000 Puji pirates with less than 4,000 casualties, including the most elite 5,000 Biaofeng battalion soldiers in Puji. So far, the six thousand elite soldiers of the three battalions of Puji have all perished under the city of Yongyang, and the Biaofeng battalion, which was once among the top ten elite soldiers in the world, has disappeared.
The sound in Jingyang Gate subsided, Gongliang Youqin was stunned, and the Biao Feng camp disappeared like this. The red moon in the east suddenly jumped out, and instantly burned the morning clouds into red and magnificent, and the endless morning glow embraced the flow of the sun, everything seemed to be still and moving, and the red light reflected the faces of both the enemy and us.
Gongliang Youqin seemed to wake up, looked back at the young and cold eyes at the head of the city, and slowly ordered: "Withdraw the army." ”
At this moment, the horse's hooves rushed from the north like a rainstorm, and Gongliang Youqin was shocked, and he was stunned and forgot to give orders while sitting on the fiery red horse.
Xu Ruyu twisted his head to look at the iron horses that were surging like a sea tide in the north, and when the tens of thousands of moving horse heads suddenly appeared on the horizon, they were instantly plated with a layer of luster like flowing pills by the red morning sun.
whispered to Mei Tierui, Shen Deqian, and others, who were already stunned: "That's the Qingfeng Jing Ride." He also said to Xing Kunmin and Liang Bao: "The four thousand soldiers of the reserve battalion dispatched from the south gate to the east side of the Yingqingfeng battalion to pursue the Puji bandits. Said to Chen Zifang, Zhong Ji, and Wan Rong: "Each led his troops out of Dongcheng to cooperate with Lord Jiang to attack Xu Bodang's army. To Xu Daofu and Mei Liting, he said: "Each leader leads a battalion of elite soldiers, from the north city, and the side should be the soldiers of the east city." ”
On 25 April, the Puji bandits, who had been crisscrossing the four counties of Hedong for 50 years, suffered an unprecedented rout under the city of Yongyang. After the storming of Yongyang and the loss of more than 10,000 elites in one day and one night, the morale was extremely low, and the extremely tired Puji bandits were raided by the five thousand elite cavalry of Wanling at this time, and they were defeated by one blow, and were chased by the five thousand elite cavalry led by Chen Ang for more than 100 miles, until the dock port on the east side of Yanling, only more than 6,000 people were left to flee from Donghai County by boat in a hurry.
In the past five years, the Baishi Army, which rose in Yongning County like a comet, was also hit by an unprecedented heavy loss, after storming Yongyang for a day and a night and losing 4,000 elites, it was raided from the flank by a thousand Qingfeng elite cavalry led by Zhang Zhongdao, and nearly 20,000 defenders of Yongyang counterattacked the Baishi Army head-on, and the 30,000 Baishi Army safely withdrew to Baishi Town Ningyi with less than 5,000 people.
