Chapter 327: There is a reason for him

At this moment, I suddenly saw a mess at the gate of the city, and a large number of Ji soldiers fled to the streets on both sides, screaming so loudly that they simply threw away their armor! The infantry of the Ji army behind soon rearranged and advanced forward again amid the shouts of the generals.

Pang Jun followed closely with the cavalry, and saw that the Tang army was standing at the gate of the city, just defending, and did not rush into the city. There is also a spacious sloping passage near the city gate, leading to the city wall, where the Tang army is also guarding, presumably mainly to prevent the defenders from coming down from the top of the city wall.

The Tang army was in front of the infantry formation, the cavalry was in the rear, and the men and horses were cleaned. Pang Jun couldn't believe that with the level of organization of the Tang Army, he could quickly deploy a formation just after attacking the city gate?

"Defend the gates! Waiting for reinforcements!" After the Tang army marched, a general on horseback shouted loudly, and even Pang Jun could hear the voice.

Pang Jun said in his heart: No wonder the Tang army did not take advantage of the situation to rush into the city, the defenders of the Middle East Gate were thin, and there were not many Tang soldiers entering the city; But this Tang army general is very smart, he guards the city gate first, and when the reinforcements arrive, he can kill them immediately!

He hurriedly shouted, "Don't let them rush into the city gates, rush for me!"

At this moment, the battle at the city gate suddenly became fierce, and a large number of Ji soldiers poured into the city gate. ......Behind the spearmen of the Tang Army, the sound of bows and crossbows sounded one after another, and the cavalry behind them rode and shot on their horses, and the city gate was not large, and the people and horses were crowded, and suddenly screamed miserably.

Pang Jun paid close attention to the observation, and saw that the Tang army in front of the infantry array was unusual, and there were crossbowmen between the spears, and a large number of melee infantry were fighting with the Ji army in the front, with bows and crossbows fired in the middle, and bows and arrows thrown behind......

At this time, the chaotic killing of people and horses shook the sky, but the people and horses of the Tang Army were quite orderly, and the firepower was combined from far and near, and it was quite deep! In such a narrow place, under the chaotic and tense battle, it is quite difficult to maintain this effect!

Pang Jun saw the situation, and he didn't dare to personally lead the troops to rush for a while, just with the armor on his body, but he couldn't prevent the bow and crossbow from shooting so closely, nine times out of ten he would be shot through at close range, and he would rush into the Tang army infantry formation in front of him, which was too dangerous.

"Hurry up and bring the bed crossbow!" Pang Jun immediately made a decision and shouted.

At this time, the generals and colonels of the Ji army, who had rushed blindly several times, suddenly came back to their senses, and they all shouted to carry the bed crossbow to shoot!

or suddenly broke the city, many Ji army generals and colonels panicked, eager to recapture the city gate, so they only cared about rushing with their brains, and here they were hard at the military formation of the Tang army; But it took a long time, and it did not play any decisive role, except for the rising casualties on both sides.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect military formation.

The Tang army was blocked at the gate of the city, there was no foot and horse maneuver, and the men and horses were so dense, how many bed crossbows would not collapse with a bang?

At this moment, the men and horses on the passage of the city wall saw that it was empty, and began to rush into the city in groups, and the dense formation that had just been densely arranged was quickly divided into two columns, leaving a channel for the cavalry to pass through.

Just as Pang Jun could hear the shouts of the Tang army generals, Pang Jun's shouts just now seemed to have been heard by the Tang army generals.

The Ji army that blocked the city gate was defeated and retreated, and the Tang army gained the upper hand and continued to advance into the city.

At the same time, "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sound of horses' hooves came from the city gates.

"Don't run around, give me a formation! Shut up the gates first!" Pang Jun shouted anxiously, "Soldiers, come forward immediately!"

"General! Here comes the bed crossbow!"

Seeing that the city gate was about to be lost, this sentence was like a heavenly sound, Pang Jun hurriedly commanded the Ji army's foot soldiers, and regardless of whether the bed crossbow was correct or not, he directly shot directly at the Tang army that rushed out of the city gate.

Five bed crossbows fired crossbow guns at the same time, and the indomitable momentum set off a bloody storm in the city gate. Stumps and severed arms flew everywhere, and even the armor on the first armor could not withstand the crossbow guns of the bed crossbow.

After Yuan Tiangang tried his best to block a crossbow gun, he could only reluctantly order: "Withdraw!"

The Tang army left behind a piece of corpses and wounded soldiers, and successively passed through the urn city and ran out of the city.

"Gah—"

The heavy gate resounded with a loud sound, and finally slowly closed.

The last ray of sunlight outside disappeared from the crack in the door, and Pang Jun's hanging heart finally landed temporarily.

"Ahh "Ahh

There were still screams everywhere inside the city gate, and the Ji soldiers were holding spears and ring-headed knives, and they were stabbing and slashing at the Tang soldiers who were not dead.

Pang Jun let out a long breath, flipped off his horse, and walked towards the passage of the city wall. As soon as his feet hit the ground, his feet were very sticky and uncomfortable, and when he looked down, he saw blood flowing on the brick floor, and walking on them was like stepping on thin mud.

He walked up the rampart along the rampart, and when he looked out, a detachment of Tang soldiers and horses had retreated to the other side of the moat. A Tang Army general in front of him, it was Yuan Tiangang who was also looking up at this time, his face was facing this side, and Pang Jun was also looking at that person.

The two of them were above and below the city wall, looking at each other from a distance across the moat, looking at each other without saying a word. At this time, it is useless to scold, the sound of stone-throwing from far and near is huge, the sound of wind, stone-throwing, bowstring, and shouting is "buzzing and ......buzzing" in the ears, even if you shout to break the throat, it is useless!

Pang Jun stood on the city wall, and could only have a vague communication with Yuan Tiangang through speculation.

I don't know what Yuan Tiangang is thinking at this time, is he expressing his admiration for Pang Jun? Got the idea of using a bed crossbow?

Pang Jun said in his heart: His own impatience is not the key, the key is that the reinforcements of the Tang army are not timely, and no one has come until now.

Otherwise, once tens of thousands of men and horses rush into the city of Xindu, they will fight with the current Ji army in the streets, can they fight?

Pang Jun was only afraid, and at the same time secretly surprised, he had never seen Wang Rong, but a Tang army general was so powerful, a few thousand men and horses could break through the city gate of Xindu, and he could also organize a defense and occupy the city gate for half an hour!

Outside the Middle East Gate, Pang Jun looked at the group of foot riders around Yuan Tiangang, who might only be more than 5,000 people.

Yuan Tiangang rubbed his trembling arm, the crossbow just now was very powerful, and it shot through four or five Xiandeng armor soldiers. He glanced at Meng Song beside him, only to see that Meng Song's eyes were deep, he looked at the Middle East Gate Tower for a long time, did not say anything, turned around and walked in the direction of the camp.

Yuan Tiangang said in an unwilling voice, "Shan Gao, it's a pity! So many brothers died in vain, and they still succeeded!"

A subordinate general next to him simply scolded: "Li Sujie, his eldest mother's, is it so difficult to send some reinforcements?!"

Yuan Tiangang groaned: "Shan Gao, Grandpa asked Li Sujie to be in charge of attacking the city in the east, did you make him unhappy when you refuted him a few words in the military discussion?"

Meng Song shook his head and said, "Sima Li is not a narrow-minded person, let alone a child's play with war, he did not send reinforcements, there must be a reason for him."
