Chapter 675: Trapeze
Flying at night, inflicting heavy losses on the soldiers.
Thirty-six warriors jumped down from the cliff, using the cowhide on their bodies to slide more than a hundred steps, only twenty-one people fell on the head of the city, the others either deviated from the direction and hit the cliff, or fell into the Danshui, and some crashed into the city wall, and one of the most miserable warriors was poked to death by the halberd of a big flag.
However, these soldiers suddenly appeared from the dark night sky, or caused unexpected consequences, the Wei army on duty at the head of the city was dumbfounded, looking at the enemy who was rolling on the city wall one by one, and landed in embarrassment, but did not come forward to intercept, so that Dunwu and the others had a calm time to shake off Da Chang, show their crossbows, draw out sharp swords, and in twos and threes, they formed a small battle formation nearby, roaring towards the city gate to kill.
Jumping down from a cliff of nearly 100 feet, although he has practiced countless times, this time he glides in the air where he can't see, and he only sees the torch at the head of Nanxiang City. It wasn't until his feet fell to the ground at this moment that this heart really fell to the ground, and the soldiers turned their infinite fear into a terrifying liliang and killed the city gate from different directions.
The Wei army was stunned, they had fought all their lives, and no one had ever seen a trapeze. Although martial law has been imposed for more than ten days, there has been no fighting, and the soldiers at the head of the city have not even seen the shadow of the enemy, and they have long since relaxed. Although the people on duty were standing on the city wall, their bodies were blown cold by the night wind, and their hearts had already been blown into the warm quilt by the night wind, and they all wanted to stay up until the time of the shift change as soon as possible. To be able to hurry up and eat something, warm and warm, and have a good night's sleep, who would have thought that they would actually see such a spectacle as a trapeze.
Although there was a person standing with a halberd every three or five steps on the head of the city, and there were teams of patrolling soldiers, in the face of all this, no one could react in time, let alone intercept in the past.
Dunwu and the others seized the opportunity, ran wildly, and rushed to the city gate. until the gates of the city. Only then did the Wei soldiers come to their senses. While screaming in panic, he rushed up.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The sound of the gong that called the police immediately spread throughout Nanxiang City, and the soldier who was dozing off in the corner opened his confused eyes. Stumbling towards the drum rack. Pick up the drum sticks. The gong rang hard. The startled soldier rushed out of the quilt, picking up his clothes and weapons. Rushed out of the barracks.
Cao Yu also rushed out, he didn't even have time to put on the battle armor, wrapped in a big coat, and ran up to the watchtower, looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although the sound of gongs calling the police is everywhere, the only real disturbance is the West City Gate, and things have not yet reached the point of being out of control.
"The Chinese army immediately supported Ximen." Cao Yu shouted at Yin Damu, who came up.
"Whoa." Yin Damu promised loudly, and at the same time presented the battle robe and armor in his hand: "General, let's put it on quickly, don't get cold." ”
Cao Yu felt cold all over his body, and hurriedly untied the big coat, and began to change clothes on the watchtower. Perhaps a little nervous, it took him a long time to put his hand into his sleeve.
The situation on the walls is changing rapidly.
Dunwu and the others are all fierce soldiers in a hundred battles, knowing that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the time will not come, only a dozen of them will not be able to defeat the Wei army, only by quickly opening the city gate and receiving the army outside the city to enter the city. So their goal was very clear, the people who fell on the city wall rushed to the reels in the city tower, slashed to death a few Wei soldiers who met them, and then a few people formed a circle to form a defensive formation, and the other few people rolled the reels vigorously and lifted the heavy hanging door.
The hanging door weighed more than a thousand catties, and even if there was a wheel, it was very difficult, these soldiers used all their strength, their muscles were raised, and they roared loudly, turning the huge wheel to lift the hanging door. The soldiers in charge of blocking the attack held shields and fought with the Wei troops who rushed over, even if they were stabbed several times, they refused to retreat all the way, and protected them in front of their companions.
The Wei army panicked, they knew that once the hanging gate was lifted, half of the city gate would be lost. They didn't have time to form a formation, so they rushed over and started a bloody battle with the soldiers.
Dun Wu roared sharply, and the long knife in his hand flashed out a series of sword lights, and every time he flashed, a Wei soldier fell to the ground. He is like a killing god, like entering a no-man's land, with no enemy in front of him. He had to work hard, as far as his eyes could see, he could only see a dozen people, and if he delayed for a moment, he might lose this fighter plane that he had exchanged for dozens of lives. At this moment, he no longer had any reservations, and used the sharpest sword technique, killing several people in one breath.
Like Dunwu, every soldier fought hard. They knew very well that if they could not lift the hanging gate and open the city gate, the main force outside the city would not be able to enter, and they would not only die, but they would die worthless.
The two sides fought for their lives on the city walls.
The soldiers took the lead, and their martial arts skills far exceeded those of ordinary soldiers, and at this moment they gave up their lives to fight, although there were many Wei troops, they couldn't help them for a while, and watched them lift the hanging door. A soldier killed two people in a row, roared, and stuffed a Wei soldier alive under the hanging door. The wheels were tense, and the Wei soldiers let out a terrible scream, and the screams were heard far away in the night wind, making everyone's hearts chill.
The gate of the urn city rumbled open, and Wang Zhong led a thousand soldiers to rush across the drawbridge that had just been lowered and rushed into the urn city. He left a part to guard the gates of the Urn City, and directed the others to begin the storming of the walls of the main city. Some of the soldiers rushed from the walls of the urn city and shot with their bows and crossbows, some erected ladders and climbed the city, and some pushed siege engines and slammed the gates. Some even carried the cloud ladder onto the wall of the urn city and directly climbed the wall of the main city.
Before the siege, Wei Feng had an in-depth understanding of the city structure of Nanxiang City, and also made a lot of preparations for the steps of the siege. While Atsumu and the others were practicing gliding, the rest of the soldiers were practicing siege. Everyone knows that Dunwu and the others can only create a very short opportunity, and if they want to get a real victory, they have to rely on the main force to follow up in time, so they have made a lot of preparations and exercises for the connection between each other.
At this moment, the urn city looked chaotic. In fact, everyone is aware of their responsibilities and gives their all.
Wang Zhong's invasion of the city caused even greater panic among the Wei troops on the city walls, and they sent a lot of people to block the Shu Han soldiers attached to the city, leaving a precious respite for Dunwu and others. The surviving few soldiers of Zuihou formed a circle, protecting the hanging door to the death, and nearly a hundred Wei soldiers surrounded them and attacked with all their might, but they were unable to reach the ring and put down the hanging door. The soldiers were all wounded. But the corpses of the Wei soldiers in front of them were also layered. Blood flowed everywhere, and even the cold night wind didn't have time to cool down.
When Cao Yu rushed to the city wall with the guard battalion, Wei Feng also arrived with the main force.
Wei Feng brandished his war knife and took the lead. led more than 200 soldiers into the city gate. Killed on the city wall. rescued Dunwu and others in time.
Seeing that the main force of the Shu Han army had entered the main city, and there were countless torches inside and outside the urn city, Cao Yu knew that the general trend had gone. The Shu Han army came prepared. Coupled with the terrifying ability of the trapeze man, coupled with superior forces, once the city gates were breached, his soldiers who had not fully woken up from their sleep would be able to retake the city. Once he is entangled by the other party, not only will he not be able to keep the city, but he will be in danger of being wiped out.
Facing the Shu Han army that came like a tide, Cao Yu reluctantly broke through with the guard battalion and gave up Nanxiang City.
As soon as Cao Yu left, the Wei army had no leader and could only fight on their own. Some also broke through, and some surrendered on their knees, for many local county soldiers, there was no psychological obstacle to surrendering to Shu Han, and their families were not in Wei State, so there was no need to be as desperate as those soldiers who rushed from Wancheng.
At dawn, Wei Feng took control of Nanxiang City. While cleaning up the battlefield, he sent people to inform Wei Ba and Fu Xing of the news.
This battle benefited from the trapeze tactics and tacit understanding, Cao Yu had just rushed to the city wall with the guard battalion, and before he even had time to deploy a powerful counterattack, the city gate changed hands, and the battle took place in a hurry and short, and the casualties were not large. Of the 55 soldiers who participated in the training, only nine were still alive, including two who fell into the Danshui and swam ashore, and one who crashed into the city wall and broke his leg, but survived. There were only six soldiers left who attacked the city wall, including Dunwu, all of whom were seriously injured and their lives were uncertain.
Wei Feng announced in public that these soldiers, whether they were alive or dead, injured or disabled, would receive extraordinary rewards, and their families would be treated kindly. At the same time, he fulfilled his original promise and let Wang Zhong take the lead in selecting the spoils of war. In the envious eyes of everyone, Wang Zhong happily took away a beautiful concubine that Cao Yu didn't have time to take away.
Wei Feng immediately announced that he would reward the meritorious soldiers, and Nanxiang City was jubilant.
……
Cao Yu fled into Shunyang City in embarrassment.
Looking at Cao Yu's depressed face, Wu Qiu Jian didn't react for a long time: "Trapeze? King, are you sure you're right? ”
Cao Yu smiled bitterly: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, when I arrived at Ximen, Ximen had already been slaughtered. However, I have already asked many soldiers who have seen trapeze artists on the way, and they are sure that they are indeed people who have fallen from the sky. My subordinate general Yin Damu has seen it with his own eyes, if you don't believe it, you can ask him. ”
Wu Qiu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "King, don't ask, this kind of thing has a great impact on the morale of the army." Once the soldiers thought that the Shu Han army could fly to the sky and be omnipotent, then how could we fight? Whether it's true or not, it can't be passed on anymore. ”
Cao Yu nodded, he also knew this truth, but this rumor was too bizarre, and it spread throughout the army in a short period of time, and it was too late for him to control it.
"Zhong Gong, it is my responsibility for Nanxiang to fail, and I will ask Bixia for guilt." Cao Yu took the initiative to take the responsibility and asked earnestly: "Now that only Shunyang is left, we must guard it." ”
Wuqiu Jian frowned and thought for a while: "Although Nanxiang is lost, Shunyang still has a city to fear, and Bixia has sent reinforcements, and the cavalry captain Guo Li led five thousand cavalry to fight against the Shu Han army in Shuanghu Ridge. You said that you met Wei Feng, the general of the Swinging Kou, that Shuanghuling's Wandering General Wei Feng must be fake, who will he be, will it be the Wei Ba that Bixia is worried about? ”
Cao Yu also frowned, worried...... (To be continued......)
