Chapter 504: Xiahui Prefecture
In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon, and there was a big chaos in front of Huizhou City.
The new army that broke into the camp in Western Xia was defeated, almost all the generals were killed, and only a few thousand soldiers remained, and they were driven outside the west gate of Huizhou.
The west gate of Huizhou was closed, and Mi Baozan Dao climbed to the top of the city, looking at the scene below with a blank expression.
What happened? Where did the 50,000 army go? What about Helian Hubao and those commanders? How...... That's all there is left?
The remnants of the army below kept pounding on the city gate, and they were not without ordnance in their hands, and many of them were carrying logs, "boom, boom" as if they were struck the chest of Mi Tuozan's knife.
In the rear, the Song army pressed forward slowly, shooting arrows from time to time to put pressure on these remnants, making them desperately want to open the solid wood and iron door.
The Song army did not accept surrender, and if they could not enter the city, they would die, and only by opening the city gate could they live.
Zhao Ta sat on the horse at the moment, squinting at everything, Zhang Xian's seven-kill serial array was successful, luring the enemy in, harassing and sneaking attacks, confusing the enemy, the group cooperated, won more with less, and defeated the army of Western Xia five times that of his own.
There was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the hellish scene of Shura, and the rest of these people were Zhao Ta suddenly had an idea and drove them out, wanting to see if he could take this opportunity to open the gate of Huizhou City.
Although there are still thousands of soldiers in Huizhou now, there is no general to command, and many sharp weapons to defend the city, such as stone cannons, have taken away a lot when they went out to attack the Song military camp, and at this moment the city is no longer as strong as before.
At this time, Yang Zhi commanded his soldiers to shoot arrows at these Western Xia soldiers in the distance, forcing them to desperately hit the city gate, so many people gathered under the city, and it was not impossible to violently destroy the city gate, after all, Huizhou's reaction was a little sluggish, and it did not stop these remnants from running down the city at first.
Mi Tuozan's face was pale at the head of the city, and he leaned in to see that there were five or six thousand people gathered below, all of whom were new troops who had come to support.
These are their own people, if they are filled in the city, they are a living force, but he does not dare to order the opening of the city and let them in, the Song army is not far away, once the city gate is opened, these people will swarm in, and then the Song army will come up, then the west gate of Huizhou will not be guaranteed, once the west gate of Huizhou is not guaranteed, the entire Huizhou city will be in danger.
Mi Baozan weighed the pros and cons, thought a lot in his heart, heard the sound of hitting the city gate getting louder and louder, sighed, and ordered: "Put the wooden lime bottle and drive these remnants away!" ”
The soldiers beside him immediately showed unbearable faces, but the situation in front of them was very clear, and they really didn't dare to open the city gate to release people, nor did they dare to let these remnants continue to destroy the city gate, and there was no other way than to drive them away.
After the pro-army passed the order, the head of the city immediately took action, only to see all kinds of utensils rolling down, those remnants of the army gathered in front of the west gate could not dodge, and were immediately smashed with a brain, broken bones and tendons.
At this moment, they have no way back, no way forward, crying for their father and mother, and they can only wait for a tragic fate to die.
Yang Zhi frowned when he saw it in the rear, this Xixia coach is really ruthless, these are his fellow clansmen, at this moment, he would rather kill him with his hands than open the city gate and let him in, he is really cold-blooded and ruthless.
Zhao Tan squinted his eyes and whispered a few times to Li Yanxian next to him, Li Yanxian immediately led a sentry out and joined Yang Zhi's soldiers and horses, and then commanded the soldiers to shout loudly.
What he shouted was nothing more than that the lord of Western Xia was ruthless and vicious, inferior to livestock, and unworthy of being a human being.
Then he began to shoot arrows and kill, reminding these remnants of the Western Xia army that if they want to live, they must break through the city gate, otherwise it will be a dead end, and they will never live.
The remnants of the army suffered countless casualties, and it was naturally impossible to retreat backwards, and the arrows behind them were like locusts, and there was no chance of survival at all, so they could only go forward and desperately hit the city gate.
At this moment, many people in the remnants of the army were already red-eyed, and they were dead left and right, and the only way out was to open the front gate.
They all picked up the big wooden stakes, regardless of life and death, and went to hit the iron door one after another, without stopping for a moment.
This way of hitting the city gate is the most afraid of continuing, because no matter how strong the city gate is, even if the back of the gate is full of stones and soil, there will always be a time when it will break.
Under the continuation of inertia, there is no gate that cannot be opened, but when the city is normally attacked, if there are soldiers hitting the door, the city will focus on greeting, all kinds of things are smashed, arrows and crossbows are fired, and the other party will not be asked to go on at all.
But now it's different, if you can't open the city gate, it's a death, so no one thinks about anything else, they all rush to hit it, even if the attack from above is fierce, but it is unstoppable, as long as there is a fall, someone immediately continues, and the action of hitting the door has not stopped at all.
And it was not one wooden pillar that hit the door, but three or four, all as thick as a person's arms, extremely heavy, and so on, that the city gate had already been deformed.
Zhao Ta's eyes narrowed when he saw it in the rear, there was a play! I can't say that these remnants of Western Xia can really break the gate of Huizhou, as long as the gate outside Huizhou is broken, then everything will be fine, and it will be easy to take the city.
Because no matter what kind of shelter is piled up inside the city gate, it can be removed and removed, even if the jack gate is lowered, it can be destroyed by finding a way.
Inside the city gate is a city cave of more than ten zhang, and the city head can not attack here, and it can be worn day and night, and a little bit of it can be done.
"Someone!" He immediately ordered: "Deploy the artillery crossbow to cover the city and break the door!" ”
As the words landed, the soldiers immediately pushed the cannon, lathe, crossbow and other objects into the firing range, and then launched it with a "boom, boom".
Just look at the bluestone flying sideways, the crossbow guns are fired indiscriminately, all towards the position above the city gate, because this is the place where the guards throw the wooden stones downward, as long as they control here, the pressure on the remnants of the Western Xia army who hit the door below will be greatly reduced.
"Don't stop, keep attacking!" Zhao Ta gave a second order.
After a while, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the city tower above the west gate collapsed completely, and the Mi Bao Zan knife in front of him stood up from the chair "Teng", and his face changed greatly.
He was so angry at the moment, what was going on? The Western Xia soldiers attacked the city, and the Song army cooperated in the rear to cover, but there was no other way to stop it.
"Shoot back, shoot back!" He roared angrily: "Crush all these rebels under the city to death, and leave not a single one behind!" ”
The defenders at the head of the city immediately increased their efforts to throw wood and stones, but at this moment they could only smash some people on the side, because there was no way to get close to the city gate.
In this way, the city gate has become a safe place, the arrows on the city are not easy to shoot, and there is nothing left above, and the remnants of the army below are "hulala" to the city gate.
Just a moment later, I only heard a "click" sound, and then the sound of sparse noise was endless, and the west gate of Huizhou was broken!
Just look at the two large iron-clad wooden doors that are more than three feet thick, shattered and fell on both sides, and the sand and gravel behind the doors instantly overflowed.
Zhao Ta was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly gave orders to the soldiers, asking them to shout the words that they could rush into Huizhou City to save their lives, and for a while, the remnants of the Western Xia army at the city gate were like crazy to move stones and gravel outside.
The rice knife in the city turned pale, and he turned his head and asked the soldiers next to him: "Has the jack gate been released?" ”
The soldier said: "Lord Tongjun, you gave an order before, and you have already lowered the floodgates. ”
Mi Baozandao was stunned when he heard this, and then patted his head violently, but he drank too much wine and forgot about it.
But the jack gate is not safe, the gate is in the city gate hole, even if it is strong, it can block the other party for a while, but it can't stop a lifetime, and when the time comes, it will be slowly implemented inside, isn't it the last city to break?
Thinking of this, Mi Tuozandao couldn't help but gasp.
The 50,000 support recruits were almost wiped out, and Huizhou was lost again, which was no better than the loss of the city in Shikikawa before, and at this moment there were soldiers and horses, and they were lost under his nose, but it was a big crime to lose his head, even if he was in a high position, as the commander of the military department, it was difficult to escape death.
Thinking of this, Mi Baozandao's eyes flickered, and then he called his own soldiers to whisper a few words, and then hurried down the city.
At the city gate, where can those sand and gravel stop the remnants of the army who want to live, at this time there are still three or four thousand people left in the remnant army, all desperately digging out the stones and stones, it didn't take long to dig the hole in the city gate into a piece, and you can already see the jack gate.
Huichuan City is an iron gate, I don't know how thick, these remnants of the army are holding weapons and stabbing around, but where can they move, and they have a brain and shouted: "I also use logs to hit!" ”
Immediately, many people turned around and went to the doorway to carry a large log, and then they all hugged it and slammed it hard against the gate.
At the moment, the gate trembled three times, and it seemed that it was not as strong as the city gate, after all, it did not grow in the wall, but there was a gap left above it and slid down and stood on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the remnants of the army were overjoyed and hurriedly rushed into the scene again.
I don't know if the wall bricks in the cave of this city are too old, or these remnants of the army in order to survive, they have tried their best, and after more than an hour, they heard an earth-shattering sound, and the walls in the city cave collapsed directly, even with the jack gate, all fell to the ground with a bang, and most of the remnants of the army who hit the door were immediately stoned to death.
But the remnants of the army behind them didn't care about this, seeing that the jack gate had fallen, they couldn't help cheering, and then rushed forward to clean up the broken bricks and debris, dead bodies and dry wood, and saw that there were bluestones piled up behind the gate, so they couldn't help but continue to carry it.
Zhao Ta held a telescope in his hand and carefully watched the scene in the doorway, at this time, the sun was in the west, and the light just shone in, so he could see it clearly.
He called Zhang Xian and said, "Transfer all the soldiers and horses in the camp and prepare to enter the city!" ”
Zhang Xian's face was overjoyed: "Lord Wang, ...... inside the city gate"
Zhao Ta nodded: "The jack gate has been knocked over, and it won't be long before the city road will be opened!" ”
Zhang Xian was even more overjoyed when he heard this, turned his horse's head and went straight to the rear camp.
Less than half an hour later, there was a cry of joy from the cave in the gate, and even without looking through binoculars, you could see that light was piercing through the doorway, and the gate was completely opened.
The remnants of the crowd under the city swarmed in, and Li Yanxian and Yang Zhi hurriedly looked back at Zhao Ta in front.
Zhao Ta squinted, and then waved his hand forward: "Enter the city!" ”
As he gave an order, the horn sounded, and the army was like a tiger coming out of the gate, heading towards the gate of Huizhou......
