Chapter 716: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog
"Close! Shoot the arrows! ”
Sun Ning, who was already about to come to the stone staircase at the head of the city, suddenly turned around and ordered loudly after hearing this inquiry below.
These words were so decisive and unquestionable that Zhao Qianzhe and the others were stunned.
The reaction of the other generals was even more direct, they were already engrossed, ready to attack at any time, just like a tightened bow.
After hearing this command from above, everyone immediately carried it out without thinking.
With a creak, the gate of the urn city was quickly lowered by the winch, like a gate, and it was intercepted in the front line of the ghost cavalry that had just entered it, and two or three unlucky guys who couldn't avoid it were smashed below, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams began.
At the same time, the west gate of Jeju in front was pushed hard by the officers and soldiers who had been guarding there and quickly closed, thus completely isolating the 3,000 cavalry from the tens of thousands of people outside.
At the same time, above the city, a thundering arrow also roared into the air, conveying the order to attack to all those who were ready to attack.
At this time, in the area of the West Gate of Jeju, the ambush that had already been laid was like a sophisticated instrument being opened, and just like the upstream water that had been gathering momentum for a long time was suddenly opened, all the attacks burst out after Sun Ning's sentence was broken.
Hundreds of ambushes have suddenly appeared on the wall of the urn city in the rear, of which thirty percent have shown their bows and crossbows, constantly raining arrows at the enemy below, while the remaining seventy percent are smashing down the hot oil rolling wood that had been prepared earlier, covering the position of the entire cavalry team.
The three thousand ghost warriors hadn't even recovered from the sudden change in front of them before the attack from above had already enveloped them entirely.
The arrows pierced their bodies and drove their horses into their crotches, and in a scream of exclamation, large swaths of the cavalry fell from their horses.
There are also those who move quickly, and quickly draw their swords and rein in their horses, wanting to resist. But in the end, the arrows were followed by terrible attacks that they were completely unable to deal with.
The hot oil splashed on the body can make people hot in an instant, and hundreds of pounds of wood and stone on several stones fall whistling, as long as they hit it, it is enough to make any sturdy man break his bones and tendons, and his head will be broken and bleeding...... None of this was something they could do with the seemingly sharp steel knives in their hands.
As for the shield or something, it is still hanging on the side of their horses, and it is too late to raise it to defend itself.
What's worse is that more than half of these attacks fell on the horses under the crotches of the cavalry, which made the neighing of the horses drown out the screams of the people, and then as they fell in pain, they also turned their owners on their backs, making them even more unable to deal with the terrible attacks one after another.
Whoosh ...... Rounds of sharp arrows flew down, constantly harvesting the lives of the Ghost Rong cavalry who could no longer dodge and could not move.
Bang bang bang...... The falling wood and stones continued to smash on the horses, so that the already chaotic team became completely chaotic, and they could not even organize a single counterattack, and they had completely become targets for beating.
And the most deadly thing is that this round of attacks above is as if it doesn't cost money at all, and there is almost no pause, just throwing thousands of arrows, thousands of wood and stones in one go, so that these 3,000 people can take all the orders.
What is a saturation attack, this group of ghost cavalry trapped in Jeju Urn City can be regarded as a real understanding.
What they didn't know was that these ferocious and massive attacks were not just for their 3,000 men, but for ambushing their main army.
However, now there are only 3,000 of them trapped in the city of Wengcheng, and the Jeju officers and soldiers who are in ambush above obviously do not have much combat experience, and they only know how to act rigidly according to the plan under the excitement, so they actually did not make a half-restrained frenzied attack and used all the weapons prepared.
As a result, the turtles in the three thousand urns were all wiped out, and when the attack finally stopped, the urn city was full of corpses of the ghosts, and there was not even a single person who could stand up again.
And all this happened in a short meal, and at this time, the battle outside of Ongseong, inside and outside Jeju Fortress, was just entering a fierce level.
When the gate of the city suddenly fell, Bozid was stunned at first, but then, after listening to the sound of crossbows, falling rocks and screams from behind, he quickly understood.
These Central Plains people really harbored evil intentions and set up an ambush here!
If it weren't for the fact that I had always been accustomed to leading troops to the forefront, I am afraid that I would have ended up with other subordinates at this time.
But the mood of rejoicing only flashed in Bozid's heart, and he had already stopped shouting: "Kill me with me!" He urged the horse to rush straight to Jeju Street with the dozen or so horses behind him.
Years of combat experience, coupled with a tenacious character, made him choose to move forward even in such an unfavorable situation. He believed that with the strength of his cavalry, as long as he entered the city, even if he was defeated in the end, he would definitely bring great damage to the city.
As long as you kill a few more people, you will really die in the end, and it is enough!
But just as everyone under his command was shouting and rushing with him, with the sound of arrows from behind, two armies of thousands of officers and soldiers also emerged on the roads at both ends of the long street in front of them, and they rushed towards them like a wave.
The Jeju official army is indeed not strong in combat, and it is true that everyone from top to bottom is afraid of ghosts and tigers, and they dare not fight it head-on.
However, after all, this is their homeland and their relatives, so no matter how strong the enemy is, they must grit their teeth and fight again.
The two Jeju generals who were ordered to lie in ambush at the city gate as the last line of defense to enter the city were also ready for a bloody battle, and most of them had even explained the aftermath to their families, thinking that they would die at the city gate.
But as a result, when they obeyed the order at this time, they rushed over after the arrows flew out of the city, but they saw the scene that made them all a little trance.
The enemy had only a dozen or so people......
Even if the ghosts are cruel and easy to kill, what is there to be afraid of when we fight a dozen or so people with thousands of people?
Everyone's confidence reached the highest point at this moment, and without even using the bows and arrows that had been arranged so long, thousands of officers and soldiers had already rushed forward and swallowed up the more than ten ghost cavalry in one fell swoop.
After a chaotic battle, all the horses of the Ghost Rong cavalry were killed, and all the people on the horses were also pressed to the ground, and they were all captured alive, and not even a single one of them was killed.
After all, even with Bozid's bravery, in the face of a siege of thousands of people, he could not make the most appropriate response, and he did not have the courage to fight again.
Both battles ended in Jeju victory, but the real crisis for Jeju was just beginning......
Some people died, but not completely......
