Chapter 798: Bloody Battle of Nankangmen

The Nine Gate soldiers frantically rushed towards Nankang Gate, and the sound of sneering through the air sounded densely, and they continued to form a piece, and the arrows shot from the head of the city shot the Nine Gate soldiers who rushed to the front to the ground, and the ruthless feather arrows pierced into the body of the Nine Gate soldiers, and one after another soldiers fell to the ground in the charge.

The archery skills of the archers of the Royal Forest are very exquisite, and the action is coherent, one arrow is shot, and the second arrow has been taken out in an instant, although there are not many archers on the city, but the power of this round of arrows is amazing.

The target of the Nine Gate Soldiers is the city gate, so the gathering points are relatively concentrated, which also allows every arrow shot by the Royal Forest Army to bring casualties to the Nine Gate Soldiers, and the bows and crossbows on the crossbow towers at the head of the city have also turned around and shot crossbows at the Nine Gate Soldiers continuously.

In just a few moments, nearly 100 Jiumen soldiers were killed and wounded, and they fell to the ground, some were killed instantly, and some were struggling on the ground.

The casualties of the Nine Gate soldiers did not make the companions behind them fearful, but made them even more full of hatred and anger, and in this winter night, the blood in the body of each soldier boiled.

The most primitive killing of human beings can always make everyone excited.

The Imperial Guards had gathered under the gates of more than two hundred, pikemen lined up in front, sharp spears pointed forward, and behind them were their companions who clenched their cold swords.

Two hundred Imperial Guards were fearless in the face of the city defenders who rushed several times over, and formed two human walls in front of the city gate with a small number of troops.

Although they are only two walls of flesh and blood, their strength is not necessarily weaker than that of the thick walls.

Above the city, in the ground outside the city, colleagues all sounded low horns, and the northwest cavalry swimming over like several dragons was huge, but at this moment, Lin Zhishan was more concerned about the nine soldiers who rushed over from the city.

Since ancient times, many cities that cannot be conquered by strong enemies have often been breached from within, and today's situation seems to confirm this truth.

Lin Zhishan had already pulled out his battle knife, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Block the rebels of the Nine Gates, don't let them get close to the city gate, the reinforcements will arrive soon, and they will all be held up by Ben to the death!" ”

He knew very well in his heart that the sound of the trumpet must have spread, and this trumpet sound was not loud but very low, and this low sound spread far away.

Even if the other gates could not hear the sound of the horn here, the soldiers patrolling the city would inevitably notice the movement here, and they would inevitably send a message to the other gates.

It's just that Lin Zhishan really doesn't know if he can really wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Yanjing City is huge, the road between the gates is extremely long, and the snow on the streets is very thick, it must take a lot of time to get the news to rush to the rescue.

At this moment, Lin Zhishan felt even more that it was called a lonely army, the two battalions wanted to completely control Yanjing City, but the strength was far from enough, and at this moment, the weakness of the troops had been vividly revealed.

What shocked him even more was that these Nine Gate soldiers were able to gather and rush over with weapons to attack the door.

Nankangmen was personally led by him to take over the defense, and after the nine soldiers changed their guards, they were all disarmed and concentrated in the nine gate camps, in order to prevent chaos, but also in the case of insufficient troops, 200 royal forest soldiers were dispatched to guard against chaos.

But they were still messed up after all.

Lin Zhishan couldn't figure out for a while, how they were assembled, and why they came to seize the door without fear of death.

At this time, he was not allowed to think too much, because the Nine Gate soldiers had already rushed over at this time, and the black pressure was pressing, and the Nine Gate soldiers at the front had already exchanged hands with the Royal Forest Spearmen.

The spearmen of the Royal Forest all came out, and a row of cold spears stabbed forward, and many of the nine soldiers who had rushed over were immediately pierced by the spears in their bodies.

The shouts of killing shook the sky.

The total strength of the Nine Gate Soldiers is the smallest among the regular legions, and the strength of each battalion of the five battalions of the Yanjing Imperial Forest Army far exceeds that of the Nine Gate Soldiers, but at this moment, the assembled Nine Gate Soldiers occupy an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

The companion in front of him was pierced through the body by a spear, but the nine soldiers behind him had already swung their knives and pounced.

In the Nankang Gate, that is not a big venue, for a time the crowd is like water, the soldiers on both sides are fighting each other under this city gate, at this time, neither of the two sides is not to be outdone, roaring angrily, making a cry like a beast, not only to deter each other, but also to give themselves courage.

……

The northwest cavalry outside the city was already close to the city wall, Han Mo was surrounded by dozens of cavalry, sitting quietly on his horse, with a gesture, the horn hand next to him blew the horn again, this horn sound was an order.

The order to attack.

At the sound of the trumpet, several more teams galloped out of the cavalry formation, bent their bows and arrows, and shot straight at the head of the city.

For a time, with the sound of "whoosh" in the wind, the arrows were sharp, a round of arrow rain was shot, and a lot of royal forest troops had fallen on the city, and the northwest army under the city obviously wanted to help the nine soldiers in the city as much as possible, the Shenbow battalion and the wind cavalry added up to nearly two thousand soldiers, that were all good archery skills, and the arrows were released continuously, and the city head was suddenly shrouded in a rain of arrows, that is, Lin Zhishan was unprepared, and an arrow was also shot in the shoulder.

The veteran's expression was solemn, he pulled out the arrow on his shoulder with his hand, and roared angrily: "Hold on to me, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

Although the Imperial Forest Army deployed on both sides of the south city wall felt that something had happened at the city gate and concentrated on this side, the sharp arrow rain under the city made the soldiers at the head of the city unable to wave their swords to block the arrows for a while, and it was difficult to move their steps.

And by the city gate, more than 200 Imperial Forest soldiers resisted the impact of thousands of Jiumen soldiers, although they showed the strong combat effectiveness of the imperial elite soldiers, killing and injuring countless Jiumen soldiers with more enemies and fewer soldiers, but they themselves also suffered heavy losses, the corpses on the ground were staggered, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Although the Imperial Forest Army tried its best to maintain the formation, in the face of the fierce impact of the Nine Gate Soldiers, the first human wall had been broken down, and the second human wall was trying its best to maintain the formation, resisting the fierce attack of the Nine Gate Soldiers, and longing for the arrival of reinforcements.

Swords and guns clashed, and Jin Ge sounded.

From the wall ladders on both sides of the city wall, many Royal Forest soldiers rushed down from the city head to support their companions who were wrapped at the city gate, and some of the generals in the Nine Gate soldiers shouted loudly, and the two wings had already separated the Nine Gate soldiers to meet and block the Royal Forest Army coming down the wall ladder.

At the small city gate, at this time it is a Shura field.

Among the nine soldiers, Lu Zongxuan rushed to the front at this time, the cold knife was like the wind, and he looked mercilessly at the body of the Royal Forest Army and cut it down, and the humiliation and suffering suffered by his family, he wanted to return it to the rebels tenfold.

The horns of the Northwest Army outside the city sounded one after another, and the soldiers of the Nine Gates knew in their hearts that just outside this heavy gate was their own reinforcements, which were the huge Northwest Army.

As long as the two armies are combined, the rebels will be pacified.

They also knew that before the rebel reinforcements arrived, they had to take Nankang Gate as soon as possible, otherwise when the rebel reinforcements arrived, the soldiers of the Nine Gates would definitely be in danger.

Lu Zongxuan knew this very well, so he rushed to kill bravely, and was even slashed twice by the enemy, but he ignored it and still advanced bravely.

Blood-stained robes, the wind of a soldier!

From the far side of the city, there was also the sound of a muffled trumpet, no doubt a signal from rebel reinforcements

Hearing the sound of the horn from the city, the fighting spirit of the Imperial Forest Army was shocked, and they knew that their reinforcements were rushing over here, and as long as they supported for a while, the Nine Gate soldiers would fall into the front and rear attacks.

Lin Zhishan heard the sound of the horn, but he did not look happy.

He knew very well that if the Nine Gate soldiers did not open the city gate before the reinforcements arrived, his side would certainly be the winner, but these Nine Gate soldiers would definitely die.

At this time, there is a clear distinction between the enemy and me, either you die or I die, but the blood that comes out is all Dayan soldiers.

Although the Imperial Forest Army on the edge of the city gate had suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 100 people left, these more than 100 people showed a strong fighting spirit, roared angrily, and bravely guarded the city gate behind them.

The Royal Forest Army is worthy of being the Great Yan Soldiers.

Hearing the sound of the horn behind him, the Nine Gate soldiers also knew that the reinforcements of the Royal Forest Army were rapidly approaching, although they were superior in numbers, but the attack point was only a little bit of the city gate, which led to a small attack surface, and could not fully exert the superior forces.

And the courage of the Royal Guards really surprised them, these Royal Guards are not only extremely high-quality individual soldiers, but also the overall coordination is also extremely tacit, which is all through strict training.

The duty of the Nine Gate Soldiers is to guard the city gate, from a certain point of view, it does not belong to the main combat force, the real garrison of Yanjing City has always been the Royal Forest Army, so the combat effectiveness of both sides, whether it is individual or as a whole, is obviously much lower than the Royal Forest Army, if it is not for the temporary advantage in the army, they will never have the capital to compete with the Royal Forest Army.

Many of the Nine Gate soldiers also knew in their hearts that the number of Imperial Forest troops guarding the Nankang Gate was not large, and they had to extend to the long city walls on both sides of the city gate, so the number of defenders at the city gate must be far less than their own.

It is precisely for this reason that many Jiumen soldiers thought that they would occupy Nankangmen, open the city gate, and put them into the Northwest Army.

But at this time, there was a bloody battle, and there were many casualties, and the soldiers of the Nine Gates realized how difficult it was to seize a city gate from the Imperial Forest Army.

And the low sound of the horn behind him made many of the Nine Gate soldiers begin to panic a little in their hearts.

They risked their lives to follow Lu Zongxuan to seize the gate to quell the rebellion, but now the city gate is protected by the Royal Forest Army, but the Royal Forest reinforcements are coming quickly.

Just when the morale of the Jiumen soldiers was frustrated and they seemed a little flustered, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering voice from outside the city, which was the voice of thousands of troops: "The rebels will be defeated, the rebels will be defeated, seize the city gate and pacify the rebels' ......!" ”

At this time, the huge cavalry regiment outside the city was waiting for the city gate to open, ready to rush into the city gate, and the cavalry was in an orderly formation, roaring in unison, cheering for the nine gate soldiers in the city.

That earth-shattering roar actually gave the Nine Gate Army incomparable confidence at this moment.

Yes, your Imperial Forest Army has reinforcements, and our Nine Gate Soldiers have more reinforcements.

All we have to do is open a door!

Open a door with blood and life!
