Chapter 220: Breaking the City
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Tianjealous stood at the head of the city, shouting frantically at the soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty around him. The soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty around him didn't dare to raise their heads too much, because the bows and crossbows of Zhou Chuan's soldiers didn't stop for a moment.
It can only be a turtle cowering behind the city wall, constantly firing arrows to kill, trying to stop Zhou Chuan's army from attacking.
"Withdraw your troops!"
But at this moment, Qi Jiguang looked at the good situation and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
"General Qi, why do you want to withdraw your troops? We can obviously hit the city!"
After returning to the camp, a partial general found Qi Jiguang angrily.
If Qi Jiguang hadn't ordered the army to retreat just now, he would have great confidence that he would be able to hit the city and break the northern mountain city in one fell swoop.
But at this time, Qi Jiguang actually ordered a retreat! He couldn't figure it out, and he was even more angry in his heart.
Qi Jiguang looked at the city wall and said, "Now even if we attack the city and fight hand-to-hand with the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty, with the combat effectiveness of these soldiers under our command, we will suffer heavy losses." Not to mention, it is not certain whether they can hit the city, although the iron cavalry of the Xiaoyue Dynasty is not good at defending the city, but Tianjealous also knows that once they are hit by our army, what will happen to them, they will definitely defend with all their might, and we will lose more troops at that time. ”
"At present, there is news from Chengbei Pass that the army of the Western Xia Dynasty has arrived at Chengbei Pass, and we can't lose too many soldiers here, let alone waste too much time. ”
"Our attack just now has let the Iron Cavalry of the Howling Moon Dynasty know our strength, and at the same time, all the soldiers have been deployed here. I will soon order the army to prepare for the attack again, and give the Heavenly Jealousy the illusion that our army is really going to attack from here, and he will definitely transfer some of the defenders of the other three gates. ”
"You take advantage of this time to lead the elite under your command to immediately attack the south gate behind Beibi Mountain City, and be sure to take the city gate directly!"
The general's eyes lit up, he was not a stupid person, he naturally understood Qi Jiguang's thoughts, and the dissatisfaction with Qi Jiguang in his heart disappeared instantly, and he immediately responded loudly: "The last general will obey the order!"
The general immediately led his army around the rear to the south gate outside the rear of Beibi Mountain Castle.
Qi Jiguang ordered at this time to let the army prepare to attack again, but this time they only made a feint to attract the attention of the soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty in Beibi Mountain City.
On the city wall, Tianjealous looked at the large number of infantry of the Wuzhou Dynasty in front of the city gate, and his face was solemn. If it was in normal times, he would have led the cavalry out to charge and kill, and he would definitely be able to kill all these infantry at that time.
But not today, if he rushes out with the cavalry now, he may not have encountered the enemy army, and he will be shot into a hornet's nest by the bow and crossbow, and he will lose a large number of troops, which is unacceptable for his current strength.
"Looking at the troops of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in front of him, there should be between 250,000 and 300,000, it seems that Zhou Chuan regards this place as the key to breaking the city. ”
Tian Jealousy groaned slightly, and immediately ordered soldiers to be drawn from the other three gates to strengthen the defenses here.
Although he was also a little worried that the other three gates would be attacked, but now he had no choice, and there were currently more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty approaching 300,000 in front of him, if he didn't make some changes, it was very likely that the city would be broken in one fell swoop.
Just that wave of siege just now, he could feel the strength of the soldiers of the Wuzhou Dynasty, and he was almost attacked on the city wall.
As for the other three gates, most of the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty is now outside the city gate here, and the Wu Zhou Dynasty cannot separate the army to attack the other three gates.
Besides, there are nearly 5,000 people guarding the other three gates, and even if they can't hold it, they can hold out for a while, and they will definitely be able to send troops to support them at that time.
Thinking of this, Tianxian's face looked a little better, he had already received the news that Li Yuanhao had arrived at Chengbei Pass, as long as Chengbei Pass was broken by Li Yuanhao, Zhou Chuan and the army under his command would not be able to take care of themselves.
"Marshal, look, the enemy is preparing to storm the city again. The deputy general beside Tianjealous pointed to the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty in front of the city gate and said urgently.
Tian Jealous looked at it, his eyes shrank, and he saw that the number of people preparing was at least twice as many as before.
There is no doubt that Zhou Chuan, the son of heaven of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, has mobilized all the forces they can use.
There were not so many people besieging the city before, and the city gate was almost breached, but now that there are more people, Tianxian didn't dare to think about it, and said urgently: "Quick, order the other three gates to support here as quickly as possible after leaving the necessary soldiers to guard the city gate." ”
"Yes!"
The adjutant general hurried down to give the order.
Soon, most of the soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty in the other three gates came here, and there were at least 130,000 soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty in the city.
Tian Jealousy was relieved to see the soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty beside him, there were so many soldiers here, it shouldn't be a problem to defend this city gate.
Looking at the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty that was slowly advancing below, Tianxian sneered and said: "Zhou Chuan, Zhou Chuan, you will definitely not be able to break through the city wall in a short time, wait for me, and when Li Yuanhao breaks through the north pass of the city, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!"
"General Qi, the number of soldiers in the city has increased a lot, and it should be the soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty from the other three gates who have begun to support. Qi Jiguang's lieutenant pointed to the city and said.
Qi Jiguang nodded, he had already seen it, and said: "Order the crossbowmen to release arrows, cover the city, and fire three volleys, and at the same time order the general, let him attack immediately after he arrives at the south gate, and be sure to take the south gate as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!"
After Qi Jiguang's order went down, the crossbowmen in the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty immediately began to fire a volley.
A rain of arrows condensed in the sky, pouring down on all the soldiers of the Howling Moon Dynasty at the head of the city.
"Defend, quick, defend!"
Heavenly jealousy roared loudly.
There are very few shields in the Xiaoyue Dynasty, even in the Beibi Mountain City outside the Beibi Mountain City, there are not many shields, and it is impossible for everyone to have them.
Many of the Xiaoyue Dynasty could only cower in the corners of the city walls, hoping not to be shot by bows and arrows. On the other side, the general led the army on a rapid march and reached the rear of Beibi Mountain City in a very short time.
After receiving Qi Jiguang's order, he waved his hand and shouted: "Siege!"
Tens of thousands of troops immediately carried the ladder and began to charge.
"Not good, enemy attack!"
The soldiers of the Xiaoyue Dynasty on the city wall were shocked, and they kept playing with arrows with bows and arrows, trying to shoot the army soldiers.
"Drink!"
The general shouted violently, and his body slammed into the city, and he was about to fly towards the city wall.
"Quick, air-breaking arrows, air-breaking arrows. ”
The general guarding the city gate saw that the general was about to fly up, and hurriedly shouted.
It's just that when the soldiers under his command replaced the air-breaking arrows, the partial general has already arrived at the city wall.
"Kill!"
The general shouted angrily, and slashed down with the big knife in his hand, smashing many soldiers in front of him.
Woohoo.
At this time, the Qi-Breaking Arrows prepared by the Xiaoyue Dynasty were also fired, but for the partial generals, these Qi-Breaking Arrows were not enough in terms of number or power, and they did not pose too much threat to him.
Just a few knives in his hand, he directly killed those iron horsemen of the Xiaoyue Dynasty who were shooting arrows.
