Hua An looked at the fire that was burning in the direction of the capital, and said: "Although the soldiers are very tired, the capital is already in danger, and the order is passed on, so that the soldiers can cheer up and prepare to attack the Zhao army." ”

"Yes, big brother." Seeing Hua'an give the order, Wang San and Thunderstorm took the order.

Two moments later, the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army were reorganized, and they could rush to the battlefield just after Hua'an's order.

In order to completely defeat the Zhao army, Hua'an decided to first concentrate all the forces to attack more than 1,000 Zhao troops outside the south gate of the capital, and then the soldiers were divided into two routes, attacking to the east and west sides respectively.

In terms of troop allocation, Hua An and Wang San led their own battalion and an army under Thunderstorm, with a total of more than 4,000 cavalry, to attack from the east gate of the capital to the north gate, while Thunderstorm led the remaining 7,000 main forces to attack from the west gate of the capital.

"Big brother, the three armies are assembled and can attack." Wang San said loudly.

Hua An looked at the more than 10,000 cavalry behind him, and said softly: "Line up the battle formation, slowly march towards the capital, and then attack when you arrive less than a mile away from the Zhao army." ”

Hua'an naturally did this in order to maintain the body of the war horse, so that the war horse could have a relatively high explosive power when it was impacted, after all, after nearly a month of continuous marching, these war horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army had different degrees of fat loss, and the body of the war horse had a significant decline.

"Yes, big brother." Wang San responded, stretched out his hand, and said loudly: "Soldiers, go." ”

Under the leadership of Hua'an, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army slowly marched towards the south gate of Jiankang City.

Because a few days ago, a detailed reconnaissance had been done, and there were undercover agents in the capital, therefore, the Zhao soldiers believed that there would be no Jin army's brigade near the capital, and their vigilance was naturally much weaker, so they appeared, and the Northern Expeditionary Army had arrived five miles behind them and still had not been discovered.

But as the main cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army gradually approached, the Zhao army deployed outside the south gate of Jiankang City still found an abnormality behind him, and more than 10,000 war horses trampled on the ground, and the sound was not small, and the soldiers of the Zhao army heard these abnormal sounds.

After climbing to a high port, the Zhao army scouts found a large number of men and horses slowly approaching, needless to say, the more than 10,000 men and horses forced from the south must not be their men and horses, only the Jin army that may be reinforced.

"Attack, attack with all your troops." Arriving less than a mile from Zhao's army, Hua'an gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army rode their horses to attack the Zhao army not far ahead, and the galloping war horses trampled on the ground, making the entire land outside the south gate of Jiankang City tremble.

"The battalion owner is the Jin army, the cavalry of the Jin army, with more than 10,000 troops." The scout hurried down to the high port and reported to his camp master.

As a battle-hardened veteran, the Zhao military camp owner had already judged the strength and type of the Northern Expeditionary Army from the sound of the war horse trampling the ground.

At this time, the 1,000 men and horses under his command were completely vulnerable in front of the galloping Jin cavalry, and the resistance was futile, but fortunately, the 1,000 men and horses under his command were also mainly cavalry, and it was a good choice to quickly retreat to the direction of the north gate.

"Soldiers, withdraw, withdraw." The camp master of the Zhao army shouted loudly, led a thousand men and horses, and retreated towards the north gate along the direction of the west gate.

Seeing that more than 1,000 people of the Zhao army fled without a fight, the morale of the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army increased greatly, and the soldiers roared and chased after the retreating Zhao army.

"Pro-Barracks, First Cavalry Army, follow me." Hua An shouted loudly and ordered the pro-military battalion and a cavalry regiment under Thunderstorm to attack in the direction of the east gate with him.

At this time, the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion standing on the wall of the south gate were dumbfounded, because the sky was too dark, they could not see which army defeated the Zhao soldiers and horses, but at least they understood that it must be the troops of the Great Jin.

Hua'an and Thunderstorm respectively led two cavalry to attack in the direction of the east and west gates of Jiankang City, among them, the men and horses led by Thunderstorm killed a small number of Zhao infantry.

When the two armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived at the east and west gates respectively, the soldiers of the Zhao Army stationed there, seeing that the Northern Expeditionary Army was strong, fled in a hurry to the north gate, in order to try to reach the north gate and join the main force of the horses, so as to gain the strength to resist the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

However, the Northern Expeditionary Army was all cavalry, and more than half of the 1,000 men and horses of the Zhao Army arranged at the east and west gates were infantry, how could the speed of the infantry outrun the cavalry, so on the way to retreat, the infantry of the Zhao Army was strangled by the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

#####

In the direction of the north gate of Jiankang City, the siege of Yao Gezhong's army became more and more fierce, under the cover of 300 thunderbolt carts throwing fireballs, the Qiang warriors who besieged the city continued to climb the city wall, and fought bloody battles with the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion defending the city.

At the edge of the moat outside the city, thousands of Qingqiang pitchers with super archery skills aimed at the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion defending the city on the city wall, and constantly released arrows, causing great casualties to the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion defending the city.

Although, Cai Mo's bold nearly eighty percent of the Wuyi battalion troops were put into the battle to defend the north gate, and even mobilized thousands of people to transport materials to defend the city, but the battle situation was still worrying, the Zhao army's siege men, the number of times and troops climbing the city wall was increasing, and the loss of the city wall seemed to be only in the mite.

Seeing that the Jin army defending the city was about to be overwhelmed, Yao Gezhong, the general of the Zhao army who commanded the siege, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the thousand soldiers behind him, and ordered loudly: "Children, it's time for you to show your hand, rush to the city wall, and kill all the Jin troops defending the city." ”

"Oh oh oh ......" A thousand soldiers under the command of Yao Gezhong shouted strange sounds in their mouths, holding their shields and killing on the north gate of Jiankang City.

With the addition of this thousand elites, the pressure on the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion to defend the city increased greatly, and soon, the city wall was torn open several large openings, and hundreds of Zhao soldiers boarded the city wall and fought bloody battles with the Wuyi battalion defending the city.

Seeing that there were more and more soldiers on the city wall of the Zhao army, the general of the Chinese army who was in charge of defending the city felt that the capital could no longer be defended, so he ran to Cai Mo's side and said hurriedly: "Lord Cai, let's go!" The city is about to be overwhelmed. ”

"No, the city must be defended, there are still thousands of people under the city, let them reinforce the city walls, let them all come up to reinforce." Cai Mo is still unwilling to give up.

"It's useless, the Zhao army is the division of tigers and wolves, and the soldiers of our army can't resist it, and these people can't resist it, you two will quickly put Lord Cai down the city wall." The Chinese general ordered to the two soldiers beside him.

Hearing the order, the two pro-soldiers erected Cai Mo down the city wall.

There are more and more soldiers of the Zhao army attacking the city wall, and the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion defending the city wall have no ability to drive these Zhao troops who attack the city head off the city wall, so they gradually began to disperse, and the north gate city wall is lost.

A general of the Zhao army inserted Yao Gezhong's big sword on the wall of the north gate of Jiankang City, and suddenly, all the soldiers of the Zhao army were boiling, and Yao Gezhong, who was the main general, was greatly relieved, Jiankang City was finally breached, and a boulder pressed on Yao Gezhong's heart was removed.

The soldiers of the Zhao army who occupied the north gate of Jiankang City rushed down the city wall and slowly opened the north gate of Jiankang City.

After the north gate of Jiankang City was opened, the suspension bridge hanging on the moat also began to fall slowly, as long as the suspension bridge fell steadily on the moat, Yao Gezhong's main army could calmly enter the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"General, general, Jin cavalry, Jin cavalry is here." At the moment when the suspension bridge at the north gate of Jiankang City was about to fall, a Zhao army scout rushed over.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of cavalry rushed from the east and west directions, and the cavalry of the Zhao State who ran at the front was naturally the fleeing Zhao cavalry, and the large number of cavalry pursuing behind was the main cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"What's going on, what's going on." Yao Gezhong was immediately furious.

"General, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Jin army suddenly killed from the direction of the south gate, and our army couldn't resist it, so we had to retreat." The scout replied truthfully.

"What, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Jin army, where did this come from?" Yao Gezhong was suddenly very flustered in his heart.

"General, among the Jin army, there are not many troops with more than 10,000 cavalry, as far as the last general knows, there are only three, of which the Jingzhou Legion and the Yangzhou Legion each have a main force of more than 10,000 cavalry, however, at this time, these two troops are in Jingzhou and Xuzhou respectively, and have been dragged by our army, and the remaining one is the more than 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the team of more than 10,000 cavalry in front of you is likely to be the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army!" A general behind Yao Gezhong guessed.

"What, the Northern Expeditionary Army, isn't the Northern Expeditionary Army in Jiaozhou? How could he arrive in Jiankang City so quickly, this is impossible. "Yao Gezhong is a veteran, and he understands that the cavalry is not marching so fast.

"General, what should our army do now, should we line up to meet the enemy, or directly enter Jiankang City." The ministry will hurriedly inquire about countermeasures.

Yao Gezhong looked at the Jin army killed on the east and west sides, and then looked at the subordinates standing on the head of the city, and thought quickly in his heart.

At this time, the Jin army's more than 10,000 cavalry is already very close, but the gate of Jiankang City is very narrow, it is difficult for his men and horses to enter Jiankang City in a short time, and at this time, the subordinates who have entered Jiankang City are too few, only more than 1,000 people, with these more than 1,000 people, whether they can enter the palace of Jin is a big problem, and the rest of the gates of Jiankang City are no longer under their own control, and the royal family of Jin can completely pass through these gates and escape from the city.
