Chapter 146: The Enemy Defeated (Added to 89 for Falling Leaves)
"General Pan, Captain Li, Captain He, prepare to break the wall. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li You set his eyes on Pan Feng, Li Yue and He Xunjie, and they stood next to the big hole with several sturdy soldiers holding sledgehammers.
And Zhang Xun on the city wall is also creating favorable conditions for them, the last rolling wood and stone on the city wall, ash bottle gold juice at any cost to the rebels outside the city, for a while outside the west gate wailing everywhere, even if there is a team of warlords can not stop their retreat, the city wall of the west gate is empty,
"It's time, break the wall!" Li You gave an order, Pan Feng and the others swung a sledgehammer to smash the last layer of wall bricks, and the rebels outside the city were surprised to see that several big holes suddenly appeared in the impregnable wall of Suiyang City.
Before the rebel generals who led the army had time to be happy, they saw waves of Tang soldiers rushing out of these big holes, and the leading generals were extremely brave, one held a longbow and opened the bow left and right, and the rebels on both sides kept being hit by arrows, while the other general was holding a big axe and slashing left and right, and instantly killed a bloody road.
The soldiers behind him were not weak at all, and they took advantage of the rebels' momentary confusion to kill them like cutting melons and vegetables, and countless rebels died under their hands between the swords and swords.
"The Tang army has attacked, flee quickly!" Finally someone reacted, they never thought that after a whole day of fierce fighting, the Tang army would still have the strength to counterattack, the most surprising thing to them was that the Tang army did not come out of the city gate, but suddenly appeared from the city wall like a ghost, the troops here were already a little weak, and how could they resist the attack of Li You, Pan Feng and Beiwei like a wolf and a tiger?
For a while, these rebels forgot about the overseers behind them, and fled to the rear in embarrassment, and even the rebels on the other city walls were a little hesitant for a while, should they continue to attack the city? Or hurry down to the city and run for your life?
However, there was no sloppiness on the battlefield, as soon as they were distracted, the attack of the Tang army took their lives, and the rebels under the Ziyun ladder did not dare to stay longer, and hurriedly fled to the rear with the rout.
"Pursue those routs, don't let them run around, drive them to attack the base of the thief army." Li You still firmly remembered Chen Qingzhi's experience of driving the rout army to attack the enemy army that day, and hurriedly commanded the Beiwei army to learn in style.
The Beiwei army has been in battle for a long time, and has more experience than Li You, how could they not seize these opportunities, under the pursuit of the army, waves of defeated rebels rushed to the rear of the main formation like a tide, and the rear overseers were completely unable to resist the impact of so many routs, and they were also swept together and fled to the rear after killing many defeated soldiers one after another.
"This is a good opportunity to defeat Yin Ziqi! If I have another five thousand in my hand.... Oh no, three thousand soldiers and horses are enough for Yin Ziqi to return defeated, but it's a pity that ......" Zhang Xun on the city wall smashed his fist on the city wall, not to mention three thousand people, Yongzhong can't even draw out three hundred troops now, he can only watch the victory slip away from him.
"Lord Zhongcheng, the enemy is outnumbered, it is better to be cautious, if they stand firm and fight back, Nanba and these nearly a thousand soldiers will not be able to come back." Xu Yuan on the side couldn't help but remind.
Zhang Xun observed carefully, slowly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Nanba is extremely clever in using soldiers, using defeated soldiers to separate himself from Yin Ziqi's rear team, it is impossible for these defeated soldiers to turn around and fight in a hurry, and if Yin Ziqi stopped the rout, they would have already returned to the city." ”
"That's fine." Xu Yuan let go of his worries and said with emotion, "When the Nanba army returned to help, it killed and injured thousands of thieves, and after shooting Yin Ziqi, he took advantage of the victory to pursue and killed more than 10,000 thieves. In this way, it seems that this Suiyang City is still impregnable. ”
"If it weren't for Nanba, even if he brought reinforcements, food, and arrows, I don't know what Suiyang City would be like today." Zhang Xun is also related, he remembered the concubine who took the initiative to beg for death that day, if it wasn't for Nan Jiyun rushing back in time, he might only be able to watch her commit suicide, and Suiyang City may have begun to eat human flesh, right?
"Maybe this is God's blessing to prevent my Tang Dynasty from dying at the hands of barbarians, so that General Nan can come back smoothly, right?" Yao Yu and Jia Ben also rushed to the West Gate.
"This is not the work of God, but the result of the determination of the people of Suiyang, and the result of my Chinese people succumbing to barbarianism far away." Zhang Xun didn't care about the strange eyes of others, and replied firmly, if it was the credit of God, then why did he wait until this time to shoot reinforcements? Instead of annihilating An Lushan's rebels outside Tongguan?
"What Lord Zhongcheng said is extremely true." Yao Xu, Jia Ben and other generals responded in unison.
After a while, Yin Ziqi's rebels gradually recovered, and began to gather their formations to prepare to encircle and suppress the Beiwei army led by Li You. saw that Li You decisively stopped the pursuit, and began to retreat towards Suiyang City with the army.
"Prepare the generals to prevent the thief army from taking advantage of the situation to pursue and kill into the city." Zhang Xun immediately commanded the defenders on the city wall to move the rolling wood and stones and other equipment to the city head, "Everyone in the city will start repairing the city wall as soon as they come back. ”
"Yes, Lord Zhongcheng." Everyone immediately began to get busy, the rolling wood and stone were placed in a position within reach, and the city had already prepared huge stones to block the big hole in the city wall, and the soldiers outside the city who took the opportunity to go out to collect supplies also hurriedly retreated from the big hole to the city, looking at the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they had gained a lot.
The Beiwei army retreated according to this cover, and the panicked rebels could not find the slightest opportunity, and Li You also put away his long sword, drew his longbow and retreated while keeping an eye on the rebels' movements, but if someone dared to make a bird, he shot an arrow. This surprise attack of the Beiwei army had already knocked out the courage of the rebels, and seeing that their retreat was also impenetrable, the rebels also put out the idea of continuing the pursuit, and watched them return to the city.
"Nanba, you have all the credit for the past few days." As soon as he returned to the city, Lei Wanchun, who came up, smashed Li You's shoulder socket with a hard punch.
Li You was stumbled by this punch and almost fell to the ground, but he finally came back to his senses, "I didn't die in the hands of the thief army, but I almost buried my life in your hands." ”
"Wanchun, Nanba has been fighting for a day, I'm afraid I'm a little out of strength." Zhang Xun glanced at Lei Wanchun, who hurriedly held Li You up, and said, "Let's hurry up and help Nanba, General Pan and all the soldiers to rest." ”
Leaning under the city wall, Li You didn't even have the strength to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, he only had one thing to think about now, he lost one after another, and now the rebels can settle down for a few days, right? (To be continued.) )
