Chapter 632: General White Horse
The gates creaked open.
Dunshizhan laughed, he looked at the city gate, and raised his broadsword.
At this moment, there should be cavalry roaring in, and there should be desperate screams of the Dawei soldiers!
But no.
The gates were opened, but the outside of the city was empty.
Dun Shizhan was stunned for a moment, he almost suspected that he had a delusion, didn't Lord Dalang arrange five thousand cavalry outside each city gate, where did they go? He didn't know that just now, Wan Yan A Shilan ordered to mobilize the cavalry guarding outside the palace to participate in the battle in the city.
However, Wan Yan A Shilan did not transfer all the cavalry of the four gates, he also left the five thousand cavalry at the east gate, because Wan Yan A Shilan felt that Dun Shizhan might open the east gate or the south gate when he entered from the tunnel, but he didn't expect him to open the north gate.
After Le Zhong led the navy to arrive, the battle situation changed, Wan Yan A Shilan did not expect Zhao Zhen to have this move, as soon as the ships of those navy troops docked, a large number of infantry rushed ashore, they cooperated with the cavalry, set up roadblocks, cut horses' hooves.
Wan Yan A Shilan thought that the 60,000 people he left in Chenliu Town was a clever move, and he could wipe out Zhaozhen, but who knew that Wei Xing helped Zhaozhen also keep a hand, if Le Zhong could arrive before the third watch, then Zhaozhen's Jiangnan reinforcements in this battle would be able to gain an advantage.
This time the two sides were evenly matched, although the Dajing army was superior in numbers, but half of them were stuck on the north bank of the Wei River, Wan Yan A Shilan led the cavalry desperately to rush across the bridge, but was limited by the warships in the river, and the two armies fought fiercely by the bridge.
The battle south of the Benhe River was divided into three parts, the south gate and the west gate were Yu Yuanxiang and Wei Xing had the advantage, and the east gate Zhaozhen was still at a disadvantage, after all, he only had 10,000 horses here, but the western army led by Liu Erye was very tenacious, and they held the heart of avenging General Zhonglao, and fought bravely to kill the enemy and never retreated.
Now the most anxious thing on the battlefield is Dunshizhan.
Although the north gate of Miyagi was opened, there were no reinforcements.
Dun Shizhan knew that Lord Dalang and Zhao Zhen might be inseparable, and now that the sky was bright, the 30,000 people he came in through the tunnel had fought for so long, and more than half of the casualties had been killed, and the rest of the people felt exhausted.
In fact, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in the palace city, and it was dark just now, and it was difficult to judge the situation, so Murong Xu commanded to defend the four gates, and now that it was dawn, many people in the palace city began to counterattack.
Dun Shizhan ordered the soldiers to retreat to fight near the north gate, and he wanted to keep the north gate unblocked, so that the lord of Dalang could free his hands to kill the horse pistol.
Murong Xu also understood that the battle in the capital was very fierce, and Wan Yan and A Shilan would definitely have no time to take care of it, otherwise such a fighter would not have missed it.
Hearing the drums of war in the city, Dun Shizhan was furious, he personally led a thousand people to kill the city, just now Concubine Yi told him that the defenders in the city are all women, they are pretending, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and they go up to kill their morale.
But as soon as he rushed to the city, Dun Shizhan was taken aback again, these female soldiers trained by Murong Qi'er were not slaughtered by others, they counterattacked with spears and shields, and caused great casualties to Dun Shizhan.
Seeing the battle at the head of the city, Murong Xu also personally led the troops to kill, and he was worried about whether his niece could hold on.
There was a scuffle above and below the city.
Dun Shizhan slaughtered the head of the city, and saw the army of Dawei under the city coming from three sides, his eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled at Ma Youzhi: "Why have we entered the palace, your concubines are dead, these people have not surrendered, and they have not been defeated!" ”
"This, this—"
Ma Youzhi didn't know how to answer, so he could only open his mouth.
Seeing that Ma Youzhi couldn't answer, Dun Shizhan was immediately furious, and slashed the ground with a knife.
Ma Youzhi sighed and stepped to the side, but he dodged slowly, one arm was cut off, blood spurted wildly, and he fainted in pain in a scream.
Dun Shizhan raised his knife and was about to go up and slash again, when there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance outside the city, and he looked into the distance, and in the morning haze, a group of thousands of cavalry drove in from outside the north gate.
"Haha, brothers, Lord Dalang's cavalry has arrived, everyone guard the city gate, don't let the gate close, our victory is in sight!"
Murong Xu saw it really in the city, he was very anxious, once this group of Dajing cavalry entered the palace, the situation of the battle would be reversed again, although he was anxious, he could only watch the cavalry approach.
Seeing that the cavalry was about to run to the city, suddenly there was a shout of killing at the city gate, and a group of disheveled soldiers rushed in first, and they swung their swords and slashed at the Dajing army guarding the gate.
Originally, these Dajing troops were guarding the door with their backs to fight, and they thought that it must be their own cavalry that came in, but who knew that it was not at all, and this team saw the Dajing army and cut it.
Dun Shizhan was leading people to fight with Murong Xu, he suddenly heard a scream from the city, looked down, and was stunned, it was not their cavalry that came in first, but a group of infantry dressed in black.
This group of infantry is the remnants of Zongzheng Mansion led by Yue'er, just now Yue'er and Liu Jun found out that Wan Yan A Shilan also transferred the last 5,000 cavalry guarding outside the north gate, and they suddenly became chicken ribs on the battlefield, and suddenly no one was too lazy to fight.
Yue'er thought it was a little funny, but they just took the opportunity to catch their breath.
Liu Jun led people to bring water from the cellar, everyone drank the water, and recovered a lot of vitality, at this moment, the Gongchen door suddenly opened from the inside, and the sound of killing came out one after another.
Yue'er looked at Miyagi, and the shouts of killing kept coming from Miyagi, and it was obvious that the battle was still raging.
Liu Jun was a little anxious.
"Lord Du Commander, the Dajing Army that climbed in through the tunnel has already opened the city gates, I don't know if the other city gates have been opened, what are we going to do now?"
Yue'er nodded and snorted coldly.
"The Dajing army opened the city gate, just to kill the cavalry outside the city, they don't know that Wan Yan has transferred the cavalry outside, they must be in a hurry at the moment, hehe, then let's go and have a fun time, stab them in the back, do you still have the strength?"
"There's—"
More than 300 people raised their weapons together and shouted.
"Okay, let's go!"
Yue'er picked up a long sword, turned around and stepped out of the courtyard wall, and rushed towards the north gate.
Liu Jun followed.
Yue'er didn't notice that Princess Mandarin Mandarin was following her, still holding a knife in her hand.
When she ran to a distance of two hundred steps from the city gate, Yue'er suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and she was shocked, did Wan Yan and Shilan win the battle outside the city so quickly?
Yue'er still had some doubts in her heart, this cavalry came from the north, but there had been no battle in the north before, where did they come from?
But at that time, Yue'er didn't have time to think about it, she had to rush into the city before the cavalry and close the city gate.
Dun Shizhan vomited blood at the head of the city, did this Dawei infantry come out of the ground, how could they be here?
Yue'er entered the Gongchen Gate, the first thing she did was to close the city gate, half of her three hundred people were still outside, but she couldn't care about it, and struggled to push the door, but as soon as she pushed halfway, there was a white horse rushing in like lightning.
Yue'er was shocked, this person came in too fast, and she didn't stop him at all!
The white horse rushed in, and was immediately a general, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the horse's front hooves lifted up, and the man stood up violently.
Yue'er didn't think about it, her body jumped, and the long sword stabbed at the back of the man's heart.
"Open the door—"
The man shouted like a thunderclap.
Yue'er's heart trembled, this person was not the Dajing Army, he was speaking pure Da Wei official words! Yue'er's hand was deflected, and the sword grazed the man's shoulder, cutting off his robe.
The man turned around, saw Yue'er, and waved his hand resolutely.
"Open the door, reinforcements have arrived—"
This person's voice was low and magnetic, Yue'er was stunned for a moment, how many times did this voice appear in her dreams, who was he?
The man in front of him was in the costume of a soldier, he looked a little unfamiliar, his skin was dark brown, his upper and lower lips were full of velvet beards, and the hair on the back of his head was tied into a bunch.
Only then did Yue'er see his eyebrows clearly.
It was a pair of bright eyes, and his eyes were clear and transparent.
Yue'er's heart hurt uncontrollably, she really wanted to throw herself into the arms of this white horse general at this moment and cry fiercely.
"His Royal Highness—"
The person who came was none other than Zhaoju, who had worked so hard to rush back from outside the Saiwai!
