Chapter 350: Attacking the Tiger Head Pass
71_71495In the flow of people running, Xu Liang looked up and saw the green smoke in the air, and his heart tightened, knowing that the rebel army in Hutou Pass had finally sent a signal for help.
In other words, the rebel army around Hutou Pass saw the signal and would speed up, and it was possible that it would appear around the Ming army at any time. Xu Liang pointed forward with a long knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”
The Ming army knew the importance of this battle, and they didn't need any encouragement to shout slogans, and they all moved forward bravely. The arrows in the archer seem to don't want money, they have shot down on the tiger head pass city, the five general cannons in the rear of the Ming army, no longer save gunpowder, the muzzle of the cannon is aimed at the city tower directly above the gate, five rings in a row, the cannons all fall to the city tower, I can't wait for a round of artillery to go down and the small building collapsed, at the gate of the city, two teams of Ming army shields on the head, resisting the stones that the city head keeps smashing down, protecting the iron pickaxe team under the shield, vowing to hollow out the stones and bricks blocked in the city gate.
Boom! A stone the size of a millstone accurately hit two shields, and the two Ming soldiers under the shields fell to the ground with blood spraying from their mouths, and they pressed a Ming soldier with an iron pickaxe underneath. Seeing this, the Ming army next to him pounced on the two of them, protected them with the shield in their hands, and pulled out the Ming army pressed below with their hands and feet. As a result, as soon as he pulled out half of his body, he suddenly poured half a pot of hot oil from the city tower, and with a terrible scream, several Ming soldiers were scalded by the hot oil, and they rolled on the ground with screams.
Under the tiger's head, there is this scene of desperate struggle everywhere. In the Ming army, there is no longer a distinction between Ningxia soldiers, Qingyang soldiers, Yansui soldiers, Liang soldiers and other types of soldiers, and there is only one kind of soldier in front of the rebel army, that is, the Ming army.
People are constantly falling to the ground by arrows, people are falling from the ladder to the bottom of the city, and people are constantly being smashed into flesh by heavy objects falling from the city. The general's cannon in the rear of the Ming army had already fired the last shell, and the roaring artillery could no longer be heard.
After paying a very heavy price, the rebel army on the tower of the city finally gradually could not resist the offensive of the Ming army. Even if Gao Yingxiang, who was in a white robe and a white scarf, pulled the last team of men in black up to the city tower, it would be to no avail. A corner of the city walls. Finally, a Ming soldier jumped into the city.
A man in black swooped down and slashed the Ming soldier down the city with a single sword. However, two more Ming soldiers jumped up.
The man in black lunged at a Ming soldier......
In another place, the Ming army climbed the tower, and gradually, there was a third and a fourth......
The rebel army on the tower was tired of dealing with the Ming army that jumped into the city, and the suppressive force under the city was greatly weakened, and more Ming troops climbed the tower.
Gao Yingxiang saw this. Knowing that the general trend had gone, he gathered a few personal soldiers around him and quietly ran down the city tower.
Another burst of cheers rang out from the Ming army under the city. The stone bricks blocked in the city gate were finally emptied by the Ming army, and the Ming army outside the city cheered and poured into the city like a tide.
The Ming army that rushed into the pass chased the retreating rebels and started street battles in the pass.
At this time, the battle on the city tower had basically ended, and the Ming army on the city tower began to clean the city wall, and the wounded soldiers outside the city began to enter the city.
There was a fire, lit from somewhere in the city. Fueled by the wind, the fire spread rapidly and smoke billowed out.
He Huchen looked in the direction of the fire. screamed: "It's not good, the thieves want to set fire to the grain!" ”
With a loud shout, He Huchen's teeth cracked in fear, and he led people to hurry towards the direction of the fire.
Xu Liang entered the Hutou Pass under the escort of the Tsing Yi Guard, and he did not pay attention to the small resisting rebel troops in the various streets, nor did he pay attention to the fire in the city. Instead, he climbed the tower and watched the wounded soldiers lining up at the gates. Occasionally look into the distance, with a worried look in your eyes.
Fortunately, the Tiger Head Pass was finally successfully won. However, it has been half an hour since the green fireworks lit up. Xu Liang feared that a rebel army that was nearby would appear at any time.
A faint black line crept out from the corner of the mountain in the distance.
Xu Liang's eyes froze, staring at the black line that gradually became thicker and larger. The palms of the hands gradually sweated. Looking back at the city, less than a third of the wounded soldiers entered the city at this time. More than 3,000 wounded soldiers are lining up to enter the city.
The cold wind blew, and the black line showed its hideous face. The scarlet banner hunted, the dense spears were dotted with cold light, and the sound of horses could be heard gradually. This black line, composed of countless rebel soldiers, stretched out for more than a mile, and the black oppressive army could not see the end, and two teams of knights escorted a magnificent carriage, and the men on the carriage wore crowns and yellow robes mopping the floor.
"Enemy attack!" Panicked screams rang out from among the wounded soldiers outside the city. The crowd began to panic, the otherwise neat ranks began to twist and scatter, and the less wounded soldiers began to crutch in the direction of the city gates, knocking down many wounded soldiers who were supporting each other along the way.
"Alert!" On the city tower, the general of the Ming army said loudly, ordering the Ming army to stop cleaning the battlefield and climb the city tower to be on guard.
Xing Zhongshan ran to Xu Liang, looked at the overwhelming enemy army, and said anxiously: "My lord, Luo Xianfeng led people to chase and kill the rebel army in the city, the number of soldiers at the city gate is less than 1,000, and there are still so many wounded soldiers outside the city who need to enter the city, what should I do?" ”
Xu Liang stared at the wounded soldiers who were panicking into the city under the city, pointed at the approaching enemy troops in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "General Xing, you are guarding the city tower." After that, Xu Liang turned around, casually pointed out a few generals at the level of Liang Army Sentinel, and shouted: "A few of you, lead the troops out with this officer to block them!" ”
Several sentry officers received the order, counted the subordinate sergeants, and followed Xu Liang towards the stairs.
Xing Zhongshan understood what Xu Liang was going to do, and shouted urgently: "My lord, you guard the city, I'll go." ”
Xu Liang had already gone down from the city tower at this time, raised his head and scolded: "This official can only attack, not defend, and let me defend the city is also blind." ”
Xu Liang turned over and got on his horse, suddenly stopped beside him, and turned his head to see that Dai Yingying was staring at him, his eyes full of worry.
Xu Liang's heart was ambiguous, gave her a comforting look, launched his mount, and ran towards the city gate, behind him, four hundred Liang soldiers followed out of the city.
At this time, the panic of the wounded soldiers had spread to the city gate, dozens of people crowded at the city gate, pushing each other, and the speed of entering the city slowed down.
Seeing this, Xu Liang was furious, and whipped a few lashes at the mount, and then rushed into the crowd with people and horses, and dispersed the crowded wounded soldiers, and two wounded soldiers who were washed to the ground glared angrily at Xu Liang, and then scolded: "Fuck your mother, dare to hit Lao Tzu......"
Xu Liang jumped over the horse, without saying a word, the long knife in his hand was handed out, and he screamed twice, and the two wounded soldiers who were knocked to the ground each had a blood groove on their necks, and they were pumping.
The wounded soldiers were terrified.
Xu Liang shouted angrily: "Line up, don't mess around, enter the city in order!" If you dare to rush into the crowded, you will be killed! He shouted at the Ming military captain who was standing at the gate of the city to maintain order: "You lead people to guard here, and those who dare to make trouble will be killed on the spot!" ”
"Yes......" The lieutenant was also frightened and responded indifferently.
Xu Liang didn't care about him anymore, and rushed straight outside with more than 400 Liang troops behind him, and when he saw the wounded soldiers who were rushing in line, he slashed over with a wave of his hand. The Liang army behind him did the same, and along the way, many wounded soldiers who wanted to crowd into the city were killed.
The wounded soldiers were shocked by the bloody scene, and they dared not speak out in anger at Xu Liang and others. Most of them kept greeting Xu Liang's ancestral women in their hearts.
However, after Xu Liang's shock, the ranks entering the city gradually regained order, and although the wounded soldiers were frightened, they did not dare to crowd and cut the line, and they stepped up their steps and walked towards the city.
The Ming military captain who maintained order at the gate of the city, looked at the Liang army facing the enemy army from afar, and was full of admiration, and suddenly saw a wounded soldier probing his brain and wanting to cut into the city, and he couldn't help but slap it with the back of a knife, and scolded: "Look at what, come one by one!" ”
On the city tower, Xing Zhongshan, the deputy general of the Liang army, looked solemn, and kept wandering on the city tower, directing the Ming army in the city to prepare the equipment to defend the city.
Xu Liang finally walked to the back of the wounded soldiers. A hundred meters away, there was a approaching rebel army.
The soldiers of the Liang Army, led by the four Liang Army sentinels, stood silently behind Xu Liang, lined up in a defensive formation, clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared ahead.
Two wounded soldiers supported each other, broke away from the ranks of the wounded soldiers, and stood in the ranks of the Liang army.
Xu Liang looked at the two of them, his face was slightly different, and asked, "You don't go into the city?" ”
The two wounded soldiers looked at each other, and one grinned, shook his head, and said, "I broke a leg, and he is missing an arm." If you go to the city, you will lack medical treatment and medicine, and you will suffer if you are alive, and you will be able to kill a few more enemies with the adults, and you will not lose if you die. ”
Xu Liang smiled appreciatively, his chest was full of pride, and he said continuously: "Good job!" ”
Then, Xu Liang set his eyes on the yellow carriage, looked at the people in the carriage, and frowned. (To be continued).
