Chapter 48: The Battle of Guangling (4)

Thank you for your tips, and thank you for your collection and recommendation

------------------------

At this time, the situation on the battlefield has changed somewhat. Originally, the streets were narrow, and so many soldiers couldn't fight at the same time, but the front ones were caught in a bitter battle, so the superior strength of the Zhenrong army could not be brought into play. But they are regular soldiers who have fought battles, so they have been pressing Zhao Yu's private soldiers to fight. And now that Zhao Yu's side heard that reinforcements were coming, his morale was greatly boosted, but the morale of the other party had declined, so that the two sides were deadlocked, forming a tug-of-war pattern.

After a short fight, there was no inch on either side!

Suddenly, someone on the other side shouted: "Archers, long shots, five shots!" ”

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming array of bows and arrows was launched, and the soldiers behind Zhao Yufang were killed and wounded! Now, Zhao Yu's private soldiers are afraid! Let out a shout, and squeeze into the back.

Tian Fan saw that this was not going to work, and hurriedly shouted: "Brothers! Think of your wives and children, think of your parents! If you quit, your parents will be killed, and your wives and daughters will be raped and then killed! Brothers, it belongs to the masters, give me a stand! After shouting, he said to Xu Deng: "Xu Deng, you take a thousand people to outflank them!" Fast! ”

Xu Deng agreed, turned around and led the people away.

Tian Fan said to Zhao Yu again: "Zhao Taishou, it's not a way to fight like this, we can't do it without bows and arrows!" I'm sorry to bring someone to the treasury with some bows and arrows, hurry! Zhao Yu agreed and took someone to do it.

Tian Fan turned his head to look at the guards beside him and shouted: "Brothers, you are all capable people, whoever can kill the other party's generals, I will give him a promotion reward!" Tian Fan brought Tian Hu and nearly twenty ranger-born guards, they heard Tian Fan say this, and after discussion, they decided to leave a few people to protect Tian Fan, and the others withdrew from the alley.

Now the front is fighting Zhao Yu's private soldiers, and one of the leaders of the Xu Mansion's private soldiers said to Tian Fan: "My lord, how about I take the brothers to kill for a while?" Tian Fan saw that this person was tall and big, and he should have some ability, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Brother, do a good job, go on! The man nodded, and squeezed forward with a hundred and ten men.

At this moment, a person from behind suddenly shouted: "Report, military intelligence!" Get out of the way, urgent military situation! ”

When Tian Fan heard the prestige, he saw that it was a private soldier of the Xu Mansion, and hurriedly greeted him, and when the man saw Tian Fan, he hurriedly said: "My lord! My son-in-law asked me to tell you that the Zhenrong army divided into two roads and went all the way to the West City Gate! ”

Tian Fan was shocked when he heard this, if Zhen Rong opened the West City Gate, it would be over! Although there are 2,000 soldiers defending the west gate, these people can't all be at the city gate, and they still have to defend the city wall! Besides, there were originally tens of thousands of Rong troops outside, and it was already difficult for 2,000 people to defend, but now some people are going to sneak attack, and the situation is a little bad!

The person who read the newspaper was a young man in his twenties, and judging by the color of the clothes he was wearing, he should have a certain status in the Xu family's private soldiers. Tian Fan said: "Brother! You're here to command for the time being, and I'll take people to chase it!" When Lord Zhao comes, you can explain the situation to him again, and let him solve the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible and go to support! The man shouted, "No! ”

Tian Fan went to the west gate with five hundred Xu Mansion private soldiers.

It's a mess, it's all messed up! The change in things was completely beyond Tian Fan's expectations. I thought that there would not be too many people to defend Zhenrong's mansion, but I never thought that there were two thousand soldiers here. I thought that these two thousand people were defending the Zhenrong Mansion, but I didn't expect that they would have to open the city gate and meet the troops outside! Not far from the west city gate, it is the barracks of the Zhenrong army, if the Zhenrong army enters the city, the loss will be great! Even if all of Zhenrong's troops are killed in the end, leaving a ruined Guangling City, that is not something that Tian Fan can accept! …,

When Tian Fan led people to the West City Gate, the two parties were fighting!

Outside the city, there is also a sound of killing, and it seems that Zhenrong has begun to prepare to attack the city. In the battle in the city, it is obvious that the army side does not have the advantage. About 200 or so soldiers were guarding the city gate, but nearly 1,000 enemies were attacking. There was also a battle going on on the city wall, and about 200 soldiers of the Rong army climbed the city wall and were fighting with the county soldiers.

Tian Fan shouted, and rushed forward with these five hundred people howling! Tian Hu and several other bodyguards surrounded Tian Fan in the middle to protect his safety. Tian Fan doesn't know martial arts, but at this time, his side is at a disadvantage, and he doesn't work hard, which has a bad impact on morale, so he has to step forward!

As a result, the battle at the gate of the city became a strange pattern like a sandwich, with a mile on both sides.

It should be said that these private soldiers have a stronger will to fight than the county soldiers, because they know that they are the slaves of the master of the family, and if the master of the family is finished, then they will also be finished. As soon as these five hundred people worked hard, the pressure on the other party suddenly increased! Forced, they had to draw a few hundred men to fight against the private soldiers. Soon, the city gate also fell into a stalemate.

However, although these private soldiers have the heart to die, how can they not be strong, and they have not gone through many battle formations, how can they be able to defeat the regular army of the other side that has gone through battle formations? It didn't take long for the private soldiers to be a little weak. The battle on the city walls was also fierce and inseparable. But at this time, Tian Fan heard a loud bang, and at the same time, there was a burst of cheers on the city tower!

He thought to himself, the drawbridge had been lowered! The moat, which is about twenty paces wide at the city gate, is no longer an obstacle to Rongrong!

If the moat is there, the pressure to defend the city inside will be much less, but if the moat is gone, it will be a bit troublesome!

Tian Fan was so anxious that he was sweating, but he couldn't think about it! The two hundred county soldiers in the city gate cave have been lost, and the five hundred private soldiers he brought have also lost more than two hundred, and it won't be long before the other party can open the city gate and the army of Zhenrong can enter the city.

Just when Tian Fan was in a hurry, there was a shout of killing behind him. Tian Fan turned his head to look, but it turned out to be the private soldiers of several other families who came. Tian Fan didn't have time to be polite to them, and directly let them fight. Luckily, they arrived just in time!

A quarter of an hour later, there was not a single soldier left at the gate of the city, and only about 200 people were left on the other side.

Just when Tian Fan wanted to increase his strength and kill them all, the sound of Zazaza's city gate opening sounded in his ears,

Tian Fan's heart was tight! Finished!

Tian Fan hurriedly shouted: "Stand back, stand back, form a formation to defend!" ”

When the private soldiers heard this, they hurriedly broke away from the battle, retreated outside the city gate, and formed a formation under the leadership of their respective officers. The pikemen are in front, and the swordsmen are behind. The pressure on the soldiers of the Zhenrong Army in the hole of the city gate was suddenly relieved, and they were busy trying to open the two heavy city gates. Zaza's voice resounded on the battlefield, and Tian Fan's heart twitched closely.

Outside the city gate, there were already bursts of neighing horses, and it seemed that the cavalry of Zhenrong was outside the city gate.

At this critical moment, Zhao Yu and Xu Deng finally rushed over with more than 3,000 people! In addition to the infantry, it is rare that they also brought three hundred cavalry and several hundred archers! After they killed the enemy soldiers near the courtyard of Zhenrong's house, leaving 200 people to control Zhenrong's family, they hurriedly rushed to the side, and at the same time collected the private soldiers they encountered on the road, and finally arrived at this critical moment when the city gate was lost.

Tian Fanfang's soldiers shouted loudly as if they had been injected with stimulants, venting their fears and the joy of the rest of their lives.

Tian Fan shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, their cavalry can't increase their speed, and they can't exert their power at all!" Attention soldiers on the city walls, bow and arrow suppression! ”

The soldiers agreed in unison. The battle on the city wall was over, and all of the more than 200 people of the Zhenrong army were killed or wounded and captured, except for a few dozen who surrendered. At this time, after listening to Tian Fan's order, the soldiers on the urn city hurriedly prepared bows and arrows. …,

Finally, the cavalry rushed in.

The city gate hole is only twenty paces away, and there are corpses all over it, the cavalry can't increase the speed at all, and the power is really not great! The pikemen in front of them were on top, and the archers in the back were shooting arrows into the gates, and by the time the cavalry rushed to the gate, there was not much left!

For a while, people shouted and neighed horses, and the screams of soldiers before they died, and the sorrowful screams of horses before they died, filled their ears.

Tian Fan thought in his heart, if he kept fighting like this, then there would be no problem!

After losing nearly two hundred cavalry, Zhenrong finally realized his mistake, and he ordered the cavalry to retreat and the infantry to go up!

In fact, Zhen Rong's mistake was not only that, he didn't expect that today's things would be so complicated, and he didn't even build the ladder needed to attack the city, otherwise his army would have entered the city a long time ago!

After the cavalry withdrew from the city gate hole, the first thing the infantry of the Zhenrong Army had to do was to clean up the corpses in the door hole! Hundreds of corpses, people and horses, piled up a high layer of the city gate hole, and if you want to enter the army smoothly, there is no door! When Tian Fan saw it, he hurriedly asked the soldiers to attack! For a time, arrows rained down in the caves of the city gate, swords rang out, and it was difficult for the Rong army to move an inch!

From time to time, people on both sides were put down, and from time to time the screams and wails of the soldiers before they died could be heard.

Seeing that it was not a solution, Zhen Rong hurriedly asked the soldiers to carry the oars to attack them.

Now, Tian Fan has no tricks!

The tree is a kind of extra-large shield, made of big wood, up to half a foot thick, about one zhang high, more than 200 catties. Therefore, the soldiers generally choose the strong ones, and more than two soldiers can operate them. This thing is stupid, it is generally used in defensive formations, but although it is bulky, once the formation is opened, it is like a turtle shell, the knife is ineffective, and the bow and arrow are difficult to hurt. The best thing to deal with him is to hit him with a big car, but not now!

Fortunately, Zhao Yu reacted relatively quickly, and he yelled: "Set off the rocket, set it on fire!" ”

Tian Fan suddenly woke up, yes, no matter how strong the other party is, he is also a human being, and he must be afraid of fire! At this time, the other party's soldiers stopped, the ground was full of corpses, and it was difficult to walk, they must have to clean up the corpses. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tian Fan asked people to find some oil and flammable materials such as spirits among nearby residents.

These soldiers got the order, no matter what they went to hit the door, they didn't have to pay too much attention to it now, they just went to grab some oil, but once the soldiers of Zhenrong entered the city, it was not as simple as oil!

Tian Fan commanded the soldiers to retreat a little, and at the same time let the archers step forward, and the archers lined up in a row of ten, waiting for Tian Fan's order, and fired a volley every two rows.
