Chapter 642: Escort

The formation of the rebels did not change significantly at first, but they were divided into two teams to meet us and the cloth team that came out of the north gate.

After fighting for about five minutes, the rebels found that we seemed to be coming for real, the two teams, which were about to converge, immediately transferred troops from the side to encircle and suppress, I saw that the time was ripe, and immediately contacted Zheng Bingbing and asked her to go down the mountain, Zheng Bingbing said that the order had been given, she was on the high ground, and she could see more clearly.

I directly took the big flag, drove to the north gate to charge, taking advantage of the small number of people around, I called a yin soldier to get on the car, quickly gave him the hat and clothes, let him continue to guard the flag instead of me, I turned on the wind trick, rushed directly into the north gate, went up the city wall, and went around the south gate along the city wall.

On the south side of the gate, Zheng Baobao is personally commanding, and the cavalry troops below are carrying a lot of fire oil cans on the horse skin drums, and the cans have cloth at the mouth, and they all look like they have been soaked in oil, which should be similar to the function of Molotov cocktails.

I looked back at Bingbing and their side, the cavalry had already come down first, and they were arraying, and the rebel forces on this side, because of the existence of the battlefield in the north, were transferred to a part, resulting in a relatively weak force, and when the cavalry and the rebels clashed, Zheng Baobao ordered to fight, and the cavalry on both sides easily opened up the enemy line, and began to arrange the branch isolation belt, but it was not ignited.

At this time, the artillery battalion appeared on the plain, and it was not obvious that it was an artillery battalion, and in order to carry more branches, the carriage was full, and even the muzzle of the cannon was inserted with a lot of branches, which unexpectedly played a covering effect, and the enemy here did not know what we were doing, and probably thought that it was a baggage cloth team that transported firewood to the city, so they did not attack with all their strength, but only fought with our cavalry on the periphery.

When the artillery team rushed halfway, the enemy finally reacted and began to try to attack the artillery battalion convoy, and the cavalry guarding on both sides immediately created a fire net isolation, and the cavalry who went out of the city on this side also began to throw Molotov cocktails, forming a highway with a fire isolation belt, which extended to the city gate, and the enemy wanted to attack the city from the side, but it was too late.

After about twenty minutes, the artillery battalion successfully entered the city, and the cavalry could retreat, but some of them were entangled by the enemy's cavalry and could not retreat, so I flashed the past and ordered: "Don't go back to the city, go to the mountains to find friendly troops to join up, and you need to close the city gate immediately."

The cavalry received the order, and together with our reinforcement cavalry, they returned to the crater, and the rebels chased them to the foot of the mountain and did not pursue them again.

After the battle here, I immediately returned to the battlefield in the north of the city, after all, our men and horses do not have an advantage, the defense line that was already about to break through was strengthened by the enemy again, and those who went out of the city could not get out, Li Yuanhao could not move on his side, so he had to evacuate, Li Yuanhao returned to the mountain, and those who went out of the city were driven back, and even a part of the enemy army followed into the city, fortunately, a lot of fire oil defense equipment was prepared above the city gate here, and they were thrown down, separating the rebels who were attacking the city in the follow-up, and successfully closed the city gate.

With the gate closed, I breathed a sigh of relief, the first battle, finally achieved the expected effect, but this battle damage, a little blind, this rebel army is really an elite cloth team, the battle loss ratio of our side, about three to one, after this short and fierce battle, our two sides of the cloth team, visual loss of about two thousand people, the enemy lost six or seven hundred - look at the color of the corpse on the ground can be known.

I don't know if it's worth it to exchange the lives of 2,000 people for 50 cannons to enter the city.

However, the top priority is not the matter of artillery, but to solve these rebels who followed the imperial army into the city, there are about two or three hundred horsemen, and when they enter the city, they are at an absolute disadvantage, scattering in all directions, and being chased and killed everywhere by the imperial army and the people in the city, but these guys are also very thieves, most of them, they are running to the highest building in the center of the city, which looks like a large hall, it is estimated that it is the place where the king of Hades and the coffins of the six departments of the three provinces are located, they want to take the opportunity to try the decapitation operation?

Think about it too much, since it is the place where His Majesty is there in person, there should be the guards of the Royal Forest Army, and the enemy can rush into the main hall, even if they win!

However, it seemed that I was thinking too much, and I stood on the tower of the city gate and watched it for less than two minutes, when I noticed that there was a commotion on the other side of the main hall, and there were people with shrill voices, probably eunuchs, shouting "escort"!
