Chapter 31: The Battle of Cochin (1)
Lu Dai roared, and the soldiers defending the city immediately closed the city gate when they heard the sound.
Most of Guan Suo's army has not yet entered Jiaozhi City at this moment, and there are only more than 200 people who have entered the city.
I didn't expect this Lu Dai to be so alert, and he saw through Jiang Wei's plan to break the city so quickly.
Originally, Jiang Wei's plan was that Guan Suo watched Pan Ping enter the city together, and after the city gate was opened, the army would fight together, and Jiaozhi City could be easily captured.
According to Pan Ping, there were only 10,000 troops in the city.
If this plan is successful, the Shu army is several times larger than the Wu army, and it will definitely be easy to take Jiaozhi City, but I never thought that although the vanguard troops successfully opened the city gate, they failed to deceive the old fox Lu Dai.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Guan Suo suddenly burst into red light and grabbed towards Lu Dai.
Although Lu Dai was over seventy years old and his beard was white, he was very athletic, and he kicked his leg violently and retreated into his own soldiers.
Guan Suo waved the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, swept the horizontal knife, and suddenly swept down a large area of Wu army.
But more Wu troops poured out of the city, fighting with the three hundred Shu troops entering the city.
After Lu Dai retreated into the personal formation, he shouted loudly: "Quickly close the city gate and catch this pedestrian!" ”
The soldiers of Soochow surrounded it in a steady stream, and a fierce battle broke out at the city gate.
The Eastern Wu archers at the head of the city shot arrows at the soldiers entering the city, and the three hundred besieged Shu soldiers desperately waved their weapons to resist the dense attack of arrows.
But it was still difficult to resist the Eastern Wu soldiers who surrounded and killed from all sides, and soon dozens of Shu soldiers died in the city.
Guan Suo wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, he was full of red light, and he was blessed by the power of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and none of the ordinary Eastern Wu soldiers were his opponents.
He swept into Lu Dai's personal army like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and killed more than a dozen people in an instant.
However, Pan Ping was far from having this ability, and it was no longer possible to seize the city in front of him, so he hurriedly begged for mercy:
"Lu Tingshi save me, I was coerced, this person is Guan Suo, the son of Guan Yunchang, they want to open the city gate, and there are tens of thousands of troops waiting to attack the city!"
He originally thought that such a jump-and-reverse operation could smoothly return to the embrace of Soochow.
But Lu Dai was a decisive person, Shi Hui had led the whole clan to surrender, but because there was still a risk of rebellion, he was all killed by Lu Dai.
Now that Pan Ping is helping the Shu army to open the city gate, where can he still tolerate Pan Ping.
Under the protection of his own soldiers, he resolutely ordered loudly: "Pan Ping has surrendered to the enemy and killed them all!" ”
When the soldiers of Eastern Wu heard this, they shot bows and arrows at Pan Ping, and Pan Ping was immediately panicked, and quickly pulled his own soldiers to resist, and scolded bitterly:
"Lu Dai, you old horseman, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!"
Lu Dai didn't even look at Pan Ping, his eyes were closely watching the movement of the city gate.
Guan Suo's martial arts are outstanding, and he keeps killing the soldiers of Eastern Wu, but the soldiers of Eastern Wu in front of him are getting thicker and thicker, and Lu Dai is retreating farther and farther.
There were fewer and fewer soldiers left in the city, and Pan Ping suddenly shouted loudly:
"Guan Suo, taking the city gate is the first priority, Lao Tzu is determined to follow Shu Han this time!"
As if a word woke up the person in the dream, Guan Suo suddenly came back to his senses.
It is true that it is becoming more and more difficult to kill Lu Dai at present, although it is difficult to meet opponents in Jiaozhi City in his martial arts, but the war is not alone, and it is impossible for him to kill all the Wu troops by himself, and the most important thing at the moment is to capture the city gate.
So he glared at Lu Dai viciously, then turned around and killed the city gate.
Pan Ping also hid closely behind his own soldiers and retreated towards the city gate.
There were soldiers outside the city who kept trying to squeeze in, and the soldiers of Soochow also kept pouring towards the city gate, trying to close the city gate.
But after all, there are many Wu troops in the city, and they can form an encirclement of the Shu army that enters the city, but the Shu army only has one attack point at the city gate, so it gradually falls behind.
Guan Suo raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and quickly killed towards the city gate, like a red whirlwind, dancing all the way, the blood shadow flew up, and he killed near the city gate like a madman.
With the addition of Guan Suo, the battle situation at the city gate was reversed in an instant, Guan Suo's long knife danced wildly, and quickly killed more than a dozen Eastern Wu soldiers, but no one could get close to Guan Suo's body.
Guan Suo finally won a little space for the Shu army that poured into the city gate, and the Shu army outside the city killed them one after another.
Seeing that if this continued, the city gate would be lost, Lu Dai hurriedly shouted at the soldiers on the city:
"Set the oil on fire!"
With Lu Dai's order, a vat of fire oil suddenly poured on the city, drenching the soldiers who poured into the city gate.
A soldier of the Wu army was horrified to find that his head and hands were all oil, and he went towards the city in horror, only to see a few torches thrown on the city.
As soon as the torch met the oil of fire, it was quickly ignited with a "boom", the tongue of fire spread rapidly, and the soldiers under the city gate were ignited, and the raging fire quickly enveloped the soldiers of the two countries crowded at the city gate.
The ignited soldiers wailed incessantly, fleeing in all directions wrapped in flames, knowing that no one could save them, but still wailing for help.
Pan Ping couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and scolded: "Lu Dai, you old horseman, you even burn your own people, you are really not human, even pigs and dogs are not as good!" ”
Lu Dai was in the middle of the formation, looking at everything at the city gate with an indifferent face, and under the blazing firelight, his face was full of fortitude and determination.
The momentum of the Shu army's siege of the city suddenly stalled. Guan Suo didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the rumbling of war drums came from outside the city, and there were bursts of war cries unique to the Nanban tribe.
Hearing the voice, Guan Suo knew that Jiang Wei had led the army to kill. Immediately, his heart was excited, and he shouted loudly:
"Soldiers, our reinforcements are about to arrive, break through this wall of fire, occupy the city gate, victory is just around the corner, kill the enemy with me, kill!"
Guan Suo suddenly raised his arms and shouted.
Under his encouragement, all the soldiers of the Shu army raised their arms and shouted.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, inside and outside the city, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The soldiers of the Shu army outside the city rushed towards the city desperately, and the sword and shield men threw their shields on the ground one after another, isolating the open flames, and removing the burning corpses on both sides, clearing a path in the middle.
The soldiers of the Shu army continued to pour into the city, and constantly expanded the battle line in the city.
Pan Ping also quickly approached Guan Suo, and when he got close to Guan Suo, Guan Suo wanted to kill this undisciplined guy with one sword, but Pan Ping said:
"Don't be angry, general, I have sincerely attached myself to the Han Dynasty, and besides, I know the location of the treasury of Jiaozhi City, and I will be needed for a while."
Guan Suo originally grabbed Pan Ping's clothes and wanted to do it, but as soon as Pan Ping said this, he pushed Pan Ping down again, yelling: "Follow me, be careful yourself!" ”
Suddenly, a fast horse entered the city, and the fast horse was covered with golden light, and the horse rushed into the city like a thunderbolt, knocking the Wu soldiers who tried to stop them into the distance.
A young general on the horse jumped down with a spear on his horse, and in an instant, the spear blossomed, stabbing a large number of enemies.
Guan Suo shouted excitedly: "Brother-in-law, you have finally arrived!" ”
After Jiang Wei stood still, he put away the silver gun and said to Guan Suo:
"Hua Guansuo, what's the matter with you? Why did the battle suddenly start early, I almost didn't answer! ”
Guan Suo scratched his head with some shame and said to Jiang Wei:
"Brother-in-law, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to hurry up and capture this city!"
