Lingju at the north gate, the fire soared into the sky, and the killing sound was shocking.

Hundreds of thieves armed with steel knives suddenly rushed out of the surrounding alleys, trying to seize the city gate.

In the Han Dynasty, the four gates of the city were built with city guard barracks, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the city gates usually lived in the city guard barracks, or rotated every three days, or rotated every five days, and the barracks were near the city gates.

The city guard camps at the four gates of the city guard camp had 400 foot soldiers each, and they rotated once every five days.

The four hundred foot soldiers were divided into three groups, and they were on duty in shifts, and they were rotated once every four hours.

The largest group of two hundred people in the evening until dawn was scattered in the towers, walls, and doorways.

Hundreds of thieves were suddenly killed, so that the city gate colonel immediately realized that something was wrong, and while shouting and assigning soldiers to form a formation to meet the enemy, he ordered people to rush into the nearby underground city guard camp to gather the two hundred people who were off duty.

This is not at ease, and he sent people to rush to Wuxi, saying that there are thieves who want to seize the city gate, and it is suspected that there are enemy troops to attack.

"Kill!"

The small colonel of the city gate shouted loudly, and greeted the dozens of people who had been hastily assembled.

More than 200 people were too scattered, some on the city wall, some on the tower, and some on the sentry tower farther away, and it was impossible to gather all the 200 people in a hurry, so they could only stop for a while.

Dozens of officers and soldiers and hundreds of thieves soon collided head-on and killed each other.

In the terrible screams and shouts of killing, blood burst out, and soon someone fell in a pool of blood.

"Fuck, that's a prickly one!"

In the tragic melee, some thieves scolded.

Hundreds of people besieged dozens of people, and it was impossible to encircle and annihilate these officers and soldiers for a moment and a half.

Seeing that there were officers and soldiers behind him who were constantly rushing over with knives, and the lights were also lit up in the city guard camp next to them, the officers and soldiers in the place of change of shifts and resting would soon assemble and kill, and the leading thieves immediately greeted them, and more than 300 thieves and soldiers were divided into three ways, a group of 100 people desperately besieged dozens of officers and soldiers, a group of more than 200 people went to the city wall to kill, and the remaining more than 20 people rushed into the city gate hole.

Originally, because of the structure of the city wall, if an enemy army came to attack, two hundred people would be able to hold out for at least half an hour, so that the army in the city would have enough time to assemble, but if there was a sneak attack in the city, it would be completely different.

The Northern Army is the most elite officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and it is a real elite of a hundred battles.

There are only dozens of people, which can make hundreds of thieves feel prickly, and it can be seen.

But numerical disadvantage is sometimes irreparable.

Because the 200 foot soldiers on duty at night were too scattered, the dozens of people who were hurriedly assembled together could not stop the thieves from seizing the city gate in three ways, and could only watch as more than 20 thieves rushed into the city gate and struggled to open the heavy gate.

At the same time, the sound of a landslide cracking and killing sounded outside the city, and I don't know how many enemy troops came.

"The Han army is mighty!"

The city gate school was stunned, and suddenly raised his knife to the sky and shouted.

"Victory is won!"

Dozens of foot soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum actually overwhelmed hundreds of thieves.

"Fight with the thief."

The small colonel at the city gate shouted, fighting in front.

The remaining more than 50 foot soldiers were not afraid of death, followed by the city gate colonel, fought bravely, exchanged injuries for lives, and the hundred thieves who besieged them were killed for a while and retreated, and the thieves led by the land were even more aggrieved and almost scolded their mothers.

However, at this moment, more than 200 thieves killed the city wall and cut the rope of the drawbridge.

With the thunderous sound of hooves, a cavalry rushed in like a tiger.

"Fight to the death!"

The city gate school suddenly had blood-red eyes, his face became extremely hideous, he struggled to cut down a thief with a knife, raised the war knife above his head with both hands, and roared loudly in the sky, dozens of people responded with three shouts, but no one retreated.

"Fight to the death!"

The two hundred foot soldiers in the city guard camp finally arrived, shouting in unison.

More than 200 people did not have time to form a formation, and they collided with the cavalry that rushed in.

In an instant, the neighing, shouting, and screaming of the war horses were intertwined, almost tearing the night sky.

More than 200 Han infantry soldiers fought back desperately, but they actually blocked the cavalry's charge.

Han Sui slashed over the city gate with a knife, and swept his eyes, only to see that the hundreds of cavalry who rushed in first were blocked, and gradually crowded in the narrow alleyway, he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, "The elite of the Northern Army really lives up to its reputation, and no one retreats, no wonder the tens of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry who can fight with more than 10,000 foot soldiers dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step, it is really the elite of a hundred battles!" ”

However, with only more than 200 foot soldiers, An can stop his 8,000 iron horsemen.

Han Sui shouted, and hundreds of cavalry rushed to kill, and soon defeated more than 200 Han soldiers.

Yet, even so, no one flinched.

More than 200 people fought to the last man, and all of them died on the long street.

Han Sui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly glanced at it, and he actually folded more than a hundred horses.

But fortunately, the nail was finally removed.

"Kill!"

Han Sui let out a loud shout, and hundreds of cavalry swarmed forward.

More cavalry rushed into the city gates, brandishing their sabers and shouting excitedly.

At this moment, on the street ahead, hundreds of Han army foot soldiers finally rushed over.

"Huh?"

Gao Shun, who was at the forefront of the galloping forward, saw the cavalry rushing over at a glance, and immediately stared at him, and without thinking about it, he raised his right arm and shouted, "The hoplites are in the front, the archers are in the center, and the spearmen are in the back, and they are lined up on the spot, ready to meet the enemy." ”

Stomp ......

In the sound of hurried but unobtrusive footsteps, a hundred hoplites crossed the line and quickly lined up in front.

At this moment, a group of cavalry had already arrived, and slammed into the heavy infantry in the front row.

The fierce battle began again, and the hoplites, carrying their slurs and shields, lined up in a dense formation, relying on iron armor and flesh and blood, struggled to meet the surging cavalry, and once again blocked the cavalry's charge.

"Kill, break this damn pawn."

Seeing that the army was blocked again, Han Sui's face turned blue with anger, and he immediately roared.

The alley was too narrow for the cavalry to charge, and as long as the cavalry in front was blocked, the cavalry behind could not rush through, and there were less than sixty paces left before the street fork in front.

As long as they have rushed through the street fork, the cavalry can split up and attack.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In front of the Han army, Gao Shun's right arm was finally waved down heavily.

Whoosh ......

He had already drawn his bow and arrows, and immediately released the bowstring after two hundred long bows that were ready to go.

A rain of black-pressed arrows swept by, pouring down on the heads of the cavalry who had already been huddled together.

The terrible screams instantly resounded through the streets, and once the cavalry was huddled into a heap, it would become the archer's pawn. No matter how bad the archery is, as long as he shoots arrows into the crowd at this time, he will not fail.

Two hundred longbowmen fired a volley, and Han Suidi's cavalry fell by hundreds of horses.

Han Sui almost vomited blood out of breath, but before he could roar, the second wave of arrow rain arrived.

After three waves of arrows, the cavalry that rushed in fell nearly 400 horsemen.

Frightened, horses rushed over and crushed the already crumbling first platoon of hoplites.

"I'm angry!"

Han Sui swung his knife to open a powerful arrow, looked up to the sky and roared, and shouted: "Rush over and kill me!" ”

The cavalry that was crowded behind had no choice but to retreat, so they had to rush forward.

However, the corpses of the cavalry and the horses were piled up in the alley, and the cavalry behind them could not charge at all, and when they rushed through the corpses, the horse's speed had dropped to the speed of walking, and before they could charge, they were shot by arrows that broke through the air and hit the ground.

"Don't stop, rush over and break this foot soldier."

Han Sui roared loudly, now what he is fighting for is time, and he can't hesitate at all.

Once it drags on for a long time, when the defenders of the city arrive, it will be a big problem.

In front of the Han army, Gao Shun shouted in a deep voice, "The hoplites retreat and line up, and the pikemen attack." ”

Soon, a hundred spearmen in the rear quickly crossed the line, rushed to the front, formed a phalanx and stabbed the cavalry who had lost the power to charge through the corpses with their spears, and challenged the horses to attack.

The pikemen, who were only fifty men left, quickly retreated, reloading behind the pikemen.

Gao Shun was calm and calm, not panicked at all, glanced at the long street in front of him, and saw the dense enemy cavalry rushing in and huddled together, I don't know how many people there were, I only gathered more than 500 people in a hurry, I was afraid that I would not be able to fight for a long time, I thought about it and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly remove the doors and windows of the houses on both sides, collect the things that cause fire, and set fire to the alley to stop the enemy." ”

"Yes."

Dozens of soldiers immediately obeyed the order and went into the houses on both sides to collect the things that started the fire.
