Chapter 17: The Battle of Huaiyang (2)

When the people on the horse heard this, they were about to ride their horses forward, but who knew that the burly man turned his words around, and said: "Lao Tzu has never tied a ticket, seeing that you are not good-looking, you have this value, you can take out so much silver at will, if you are tied back to the cottage, wouldn't it be a cash cow?!" ”

After speaking, I saw him shout, and with his feet, his seemingly bulky body was more than a foot high out of thin air, and the knife in his hand flashed and slashed towards the person on the horse......

It was ten o'clock at noon, under the city of Huaiyang.

The city gate is still wide open, the sound of the piano on the city tower is still ethereal, and the Liu Ting army three hundred steps away from the city is in such a clear sound of the piano, even people who don't understand music theory suddenly feel that they have a sense of washing the dust and purifying the customs, and the commander of the army ordered the troops to stay put, and the killing spirit of 100,000 soldiers was greatly reduced.

Several waves of people have been sent to Songtaoling to inquire about the news, but they are all like stones sinking into the sea, and they will never return. Finally, Liu Ting thought twice and decided to send troops into the city, in order to prevent the whole army from falling into the trap of the enemy, he decided to first platoon the right wing army of 20,000 people into the city to test the reality.

However, after the 20,000 men entered the city, they did not come out again until it was dark, and there was not a single sound of fighting heard in the city, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Liu Ting was shocked, there was really fraud in the city! At this time, the gate of the city opened in front of him was like the bloody mouth of a monster, and it swallowed up his 20,000 soldiers and horses without a sound.

The winter sky is dark, and after a while, it is already twilight, and there are scattered snowflakes.

Just when Liu Ting wondered if it was Yu Wenjing's delay, a person suddenly flashed on the city tower, his hair was messy, his face was full of blood, he staggered quickly to the battlements and bowed his head and shouted: "General, Yu Wenyi is not in the city!" ”

This scene happened so fast that even Shangguan Jiyue didn't expect it, and when she wanted to stop it, it was already too late, the man had already fallen from the high city tower, slammed it on the ground, causing a piece of snow to fly, and he convulsed a few times and didn't move.

Liu Ting heard that this person was the right-wing forward general who had been sent out before, and now that he had died so tragically, he guessed that the 20,000 horses who entered the city must be more than lucky. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be very annoyed, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Siege!" ”

With the sound of "whooshing" breaking through the sky, countless arrow feathers passed away like meteors, and with the chill of death, they swept towards Shangguan Jiyue. Shangguan Jiyue hid in the dead corner of the city stomping, not moving, and coldly watched the blue brick ground and walls in front of him were filled with dense arrows, and the iron arrows flashed with cold light, all of which were three points into the ground.

The corners of her mouth hooked, and her eyes like deep Tan glowed in the twilight, this empty city plan had dragged the enemy army for a day, it was enough, and entering the city gate was the most exciting time.

Stealing a gap, she picked up the piano, and her figure disappeared on the castle tower in a flash.

The roar was like thunder, and the 80,000 army with the sound of killing shook the sky entered the city gate, thinking that it would encounter ambushes and blockades, and a bloody battle. But what I didn't expect was that inside the city gate was a wide corridor, stretching to the left and right, and there was silence in the corridor, which was really like a dead city, extremely weird.

The sky was completely dark, and the whole city was white in the vast snow, and the army of Liu Ting lit torches, and looked down, and the light of the fire shone as brilliantly as the stars in the sky.

However, at this moment, the sound of the piano floated in my ears again, and it seemed to sound in my ears even though it felt far away. The difference is that this time the sound of the piano is no longer so clear and melodious, but surging, like a strong wind sweeping through the shower, hiding the momentum of wind and thunder.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking the sky came, and a rain of arrows shot from the high walls on both sides of the road. Hearing the dull sound of iron arrows piercing into the flesh, Liu Ting's army immediately fell to the ground, and the warm red blood stained the snow-capped stone floor.

The general who led the troops shouted: "There is a sneak attack!" Shield! ”

The army immediately raised its shield over the top, stepped on the corpses of its companions, formed a shield formation, and continued to advance.

However, after the shield formation was formed, until they reached the corner at the end of the corridor, not a single arrow feather appeared.

Just as they were panicking, a cool, slippery viscous liquid suddenly poured over their heads like rain.

I heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Not good! It's fire oil! ”

I saw dozens of rockets coming through the sky, shooting at their center accurately, and for a while, flames erupted, and screams were repeated.

Panicked footsteps, trampling on the body of his companion, the sound of bones breaking can be clearly heard. The heavy smell of burnt flesh mixed with the smell of blood mixed in the turbid air makes people think of only four words - purgatory on earth.

Commander Liu Ting stood on the high chariot, seeing that his soldiers had been killed and wounded countless in the blink of an eye, but he had not injured the enemy at all, and he didn't even know where the people were, not only his eyes were bloody, but he shouted angrily: "Keep going!" ”

The commander gave the order, and the soldiers quickly regained their composure, formed a formation again, and slowly moved forward on the corpses of their companions, rushing towards the gate of the middle city.

More than 20 people carried a huge circular impact log, and slammed into the heavy wooden city gate one by one, and each time they hit, the city gate trembled heavily, and even the heavy city wall couldn't help but shake with it, falling down the falling earth.

Finally, after several impacts, the two heavy wooden doors "slammed" and collapsed inward into the snow half a foot deep on the ground, the gates broke, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

The tide of soldiers broke through the door, but what awaited them was white powder from the front, and for a while, the soldiers in the front row all covered their eyes and screamed, turning in circles like headless flies.

"It's lime powder! Be careful, everyone! Someone among the soldiers shouted.

It turns out that there is a mechanism inside the gate, and as soon as the door is broken, the mechanism will be triggered.

The soldiers immediately stopped, stood in place and looked in all directions vigilantly, for fear that something would shoot out of somewhere.

Frustration is engraved on his face, and he obviously wants to fight a bloody battle, even if he dies on the battlefield, but what is the situation now? The men and horses of the other side are hiding in the shadows, and do not confront them head-on, but eat them away little by little.

Shangguan Jiyue stood on an inconspicuous tall building in the city, her deep Tan-like eyes shining like a cheetah in the night, staring closely at the direction of the enemy's movement not far away.

Following Shangguan Jiyue's gaze, Liu Ting's army moved forward slowly, this is Zhongcheng District, the alleys have been crisscrossed and extended in all directions, and their main force has been dispersed. The bluestone road, which is not very spacious, is lined with houses on both sides, one after the other. It's just that there is no candlelight in the room, and it looks pitch black from the panes.

Suddenly, with a vigorous sound of breaking through the air, an arrow was shot from the window pane of the house on the left, hitting one of the soldiers in the throat, and everyone was frightened, and immediately turned to the window on the left, and shot in, although the window was broken, but no figure was seen. While they were in doubt, three more arrows were fired from the right, and three soldiers fell to the ground and died.
