Chapter 486: Jack Gate

When the city wall was fighting for more than three hours, Xu Shiji, who was standing in a small farmhouse courtyard in Yuncheng with his hands, closed his eyes with a happy face and said two words, Luo Fu, who had almost exhausted his strength to kill, leaned on the city wall and gasped for breath and said two words, and Su Dingfang, who was watching the fight on the three-mile slope outside Yuncheng City, stretched his brows and said two words.

It's done.

The chief general of the Yan Yun Army, the vanguard general of the Xia Army, and the generals of the two hostile forces looked at the same battle situation and said the same two words at almost the same time, whether it was the tone or expression, the three of them looked almost the same, relieved, happy, and a little relieved.

It was also at this time that Xu Shiji, who was the chief general of both sides, and Su Dingfang gave orders at the same time. Su Dingfang's confidant Su Lei led a team of men and horses to the city wall to support Du Li, and Su Dingfang personally led a large group of men and horses to storm the city gate. Xu Shiji personally led a team of reinforcements to kill the city wall, and the strange thing was that in addition to killing the people and horses who went up to the city wall to rescue Luo Fu, Yan Yunjun's ambush soldiers in Yuncheng still did not move.

And just when Xu Shiji slit Su Lei's throat with a lance, and then picked Du Li up and threw him down the city, there was an earth-shattering cheer in the Xia army, which completely overwhelmed the screams of Du Li falling under the city, and the Xia army, who had been storming for most of the day, was so excited and crazy that no one even noticed who fell from the city wall. After Du Li's body fell from the city wall less than two feet high, it was immediately trampled into pulp by the Xia soldiers who were frantically crowding forward.

The gates are broken!

This is the reason why Xia Jun cheered.

The city gate of Yuncheng was broken just right, and the crazy Xia soldiers almost no one noticed that on the city wall, the Yan Yun army had counterattacked and slaughtered all the Xia troops who had killed the city wall. And Luo Fu, who was almost out of strength, slowly untied the wine bag on his waist and poured it fiercely in the cheers of the Xia soldiers.

Said a hearty sigh.

It's a pity that Su Dingfang couldn't hear this joy.

The city gate was knocked open, and the soldiers of the Xia army poured into Yuncheng like a flood, and the soldiers in the city gate hole were crowded and almost unventilated, and the soldiers rushed in with their shoulders squeezed their shoulders, and they didn't know how many people were trampled on and lost their shoes by their comrades behind them, and they didn't know if anyone accidentally fell and couldn't get up again.

The Xia soldiers were like a group of hungry travelers seeing an oasis in the desert, and everyone's faces turned red with excitement.

"Slaughter the city!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then the soldiers of the Xia Army who kept pouring into the city burst out one after another, like a stormy wave.

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

"Slaughter the city!"

Su Dingfang listened to this shout with strong murderous intent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He knew that his soldiers needed to vent, and they attacked for most of the day, the Xia army lost more than 2,000 troops, and the losses of the Yanyun army were also huge, in his estimation, if the soldiers of the Yanyun army defending the city were really less than 2,000 people, then there were less than 1,000 people at most who resisted stubbornly, and they were scattered in the four gates! By the time his army entered the city, the less than a thousand Yanyun soldiers would soon be torn to pieces by his soldiers.

Su Dingfang did not rush into the city, and when the soldiers poured into the city exceeded 2,000, he urged his mount and slowly walked towards the city gate under the protection of his own soldiers.

Some of the soldiers who were the first to rush into the city rushed down the streets, while the red-eyed soldiers turned around and rushed along the road to the city walls. The city was empty and there was nothing to see, but there were still the defenders of the Yanyun Army on the city walls, the defenders who had killed many of their comrades, the defenders who had now exhausted their strength at the end of their crossbows, and the defenders who were waiting for them to harvest their lives.

Hundreds of Xia soldiers in red suits ran along the road to the city wall, as if a large flame was gradually rising to burn the city.

In the wolf-like shouts of the brigade leader, hundreds of soldiers rushed up behind him, and at the moment when he was about to rush to the city wall, the brigade leader suddenly realized that something was wrong. I don't know when, several rows of Yanyun Army archers wearing black armor stood in front neatly, blocking the entrance of Ma Dao Dengcheng. The archers, dressed in black leather armor, had drawn their bowstrings, and the clusters of arrows reflected a cold glow in the sunlight.

"Put!"

The archer lieutenant shouted a word loudly.

More than a hundred archers neatly loosened the bowstring, and the dense feather arrows formed a huge fist, which smashed the Xia soldiers who were squeezing up, and in an instant, the bodies of the Xia soldiers in front were full of feather arrows, including the brigade leader, the Xia soldiers in the first few rows were put down like wheat, falling down layer by layer. The corpse fell to the ground, blocking the footsteps of the robe behind him to continue to move forward, and the former robe became an obstacle for the people behind to move forward, and the corpse that rolled down the horse path tripped a group of people.

"Shoot! Put! ”

The second round of feather arrows came mercilessly, and the not wide Shangcheng horse road was crowded with too many Xia soldiers, and there was no need to aim at the densely packed feather arrows, as long as the feather arrows were shot over, they could hit the enemy's body. The sound of popping was endless, and more and more Xia soldiers fell.

The archers continued to fire arrows with expressionless faces, and mechanically repeated the actions of taking arrows, setting up bows, pulling strings, and releasing arrows with both hands. There was no doubt that such a mechanical movement was the most effective means of killing on this narrow road, and the soldiers who crowded the upper city could not hide, but to scream in terror and watch themselves be pierced by the feathered arrows fired by the enemy.

"Withdraw!"

"Fucking withdraw!"

Xia Jun Bei General Du Wei shouted loudly: "Shield hand! All the shieldmen went up, and the archers shot all the hundred and ten remnants to death! ”

Under his command, less than 100 of the hundreds of soldiers who rushed to the road were eventually withdrawn, and more than 200 corpses fell on the road, almost blocking the road to the upper city.

The soldiers of the Xia army holding the huge shield of Qi people lined up in a dense queue, and the soldiers holding the giant shield pressed up intensively and slowly but steadily, while the archers of the Xia army kept firing arrows at the city wall under the city, trying to force back the more than 100 Yanyunzhai archers who were blocked at the entrance of the horse road.

In less than half an hour, the blood was already flowing down the horse path like a stream.

……

……

After entering the city, Su Dingfang knew that the overall situation had been decided. Even if the number of troops in the city is doubled, there are at least three thousand troops entering the city, and Yan Yunjun has no chance to turn the tables again. What's more, in his opinion, if the Yan Yun Army still had reserves, it would not allow the Xia Army to attack it.

"Attack the county government!"

Su Dingfang's general Li Chenyi led a team of 1,000 people to quickly enter the city, he did not let the soldiers stop, but kept urging loudly to rush in the direction of the county government. If nothing else, the headquarters of the Yuncheng defenders of the Yanyun Army is in the county office.

Li Chen, like Du Li, is not Su Dingfang's cronies, but at this time, where is there any estrangement in his heart, he just wants to take Yuncheng as soon as possible and slaughter all those stubborn Yan Yun army, as if he is holding a fire burning in his heart, if he doesn't kill a few more people, he knows that the fire in his heart will definitely not be extinguished.

Water can extinguish fire, and so can blood.

When the Xia army poured into Yuncheng exceeded 3,000 people, Su Dingfang entered the city under the escort of more than 200 personal soldiers. In order to be safe, the soldiers who followed him were all cavalry, and in the event of an accident, it would not be difficult to clear the streets with the impact of the cavalry.

"Capture the county government, we are the first credit!"

Li Chen shouted loudly: "Don't forget the reward that the general promised you!" ”

"Kill five people and get promoted to the next level!"

"Kill ten people and get promoted to two levels!"

"Twenty acres of Xuntian!"

"Two hundred taels of silver!"

The soldiers rushed forward as they shouted in disarray. One by one, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, and there was nothing else to see at this time, except blood was blood, and there was blood on the new clothes of the promoted officers, and there was blood in the fields, and the silver was covered with blood, and only if the enemy shed enough blood, they would be rewarded by the great general. The general is right, there are not many defenders, and it is almost impossible to kill five enemies by one person, let alone ten people, so you need to desperately rob, plunder, and plunder the lives of the enemy.

Inspired by the anger in their hearts and the desire to be promoted and make a fortune, the soldiers of the Xia Army quickly spread along the streets into the city.

At this time, Luo Fu, who was struggling to stand up and climb on the city wall and look down, suddenly brightened his eyes.

The cavalry of the Xia army of the brigade poured in, and the sound of clattering horses' hooves on the bluestone pavement was particularly crisp. Seeing the cavalry entering the city, Luo Fu immediately stretched his neck and stared down carefully. Finally, he saw the general in silver armor walking in on a tall horse, he stood up straight and turned back to Xu Shiji and shouted.

"Come in!"

"Put the jack gate!"

Jack Gate!

In this era, there was no practice of installing jack gates on the city gates, including Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui, Chang'an in the west, Youzhou, an important town in the north, and Jiangdu City, where Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, hid in it and did not come out. It was only in the next few hundred years that this thing gradually became a must-have on the gates of some important cities, and in this era, even if the Central Plains was not as scarce as iron tools on the grassland, it was not easy to cast a huge iron gate.

But Li Xian came, when he was able to sprinkle gunpowder in the dense forest on the shore of Songlin Lake, he would naturally be able to install a jack gate on the gate of Yuncheng.

Bang bang!

The jack gate that had been cut off first made a sharp tooth-aching sound of metal rubbing, and then quickly and unstoppably fell. Several Xia cavalry who happened to walk under the city gate were unlucky, including their mounts, were smashed into meat by the jack gate that slammed down from above, and a war horse was broken by the waist, and the cavalry riding on it, half of the body was directly cut off by the falling iron gate, and the jack gate that fell to the ground was as fast as a steel knife under the action of inertia!

Su Dingfang turned around violently when he heard the strange noise, and the few cavalrymen behind him were already shattered!

Not good!

Su Dingfang's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at the city wall.

With a swipe, a fiery red battle flag shook in the wind.

There is a big Xu character on the flag, waving with the wind!
