Chapter 62: The Iron City is under siege
The middle gate of the palace was wide open, and hundreds of infantry and cavalry rushed out behind the Marquis Gao, taking advantage of the momentum to launch a counterattack.
Zhu Ju's side has gone, and he can only fight and retreat. Li Wei, the captain of the Yongning Military Academy, took the initiative to lead more than ten of his subordinates to break off, and bravely faced the remnants of the cavalry led by Gao Changtai.
"Lao Tzu, put your lives on the line, Brother Zhang Xian, go first!"
The waist knife in Li Wei's hand had already cut down a cavalryman, and the horse rushed to the front of Gao Houye, and with a knife in his hand, he split Huashan with a sword, and was held up by Gao Changtai's sword, and the force collided, and the horses on both sides raised their heads and neighed.
Before he could hand out the second sword, he and the royal cavalry who swept over were surrounded by the cavalry of the palace, and what they saw in their eyes was the regretful eyes of the Hou Hou Ye behind the crowd.
The counterattacking royal army swallowed up more than ten people in an instant, like water foam scattered by the waves in the sea, and all of them were killed.
Gao Changtai calmly led the horse, slowly controlled the mount and urged a few steps forward, raised the sword in his hand, and waved his arms! The sound of killing rose in groups, and the whole army marched forward to coordinate with the cavalry and cover up the Yongning soldiers in a big way.
Iron hooves stepped on, dead and wounded, that Zhang Dongge saw that his comrades were fighting hard, and he cheered up and issued an order:
"Keep up, withdraw! Retreat into the alley! ”
Behind this street are all residential houses, the alleys are dotted, the terrain is intricate, and Captain Zhang wants to pull the team there to fight the street fighting. The cavalry can't get in, and the foot battle can still be entangled.
At this time, I suddenly heard the cries from the south increase, and the noisy shouts and killings gathered in one place and rushed to this side, only to see the deputy chief soldier Liu Li leading more than 200 families to kill, and General Liu was holding a board knife in his hand, and he was also majestic.
He also found out that Lao Meng and his group had the upper hand, so he launched his troops and horses to order an attack, bypassing the chaotic south gate and rushing straight to the frontal battlefield.
As soon as Liu Li's family stepped in, it provoked a fierce counterattack by the Yongning army, and the 500-strong division at the east gate actually gave up the attack and came back by surprise.
Trapping Liu Li's men a lot, losing the formation and fighting together.
Yongning Jun clenched his fists in one place, and even stabilized the situation of scattered flowers.
Deputy General Liu was cunning, and at this time the frontal attack was fierce, and he refused to go into battle in person if he wanted to fight for merit, and he commanded the troops to take the lead in the attack. Watching the battle from a distance on a horse, how safe it is to be safe.
"It's fast to pick up a bargain!" Seeing this, Lao Meng spat fiercely, his long knife for cutting horses had already cut the blade, the more he killed, the more uncomfortable he became, and he snapped the blade twice and broke it from it, and almost fell into the air, and instantly a row of blades rushed to him to greet him, Lao Meng's legs tightened the horse's belly, and he fell on the horse's back, and several knives and guns swept past his back, wiping a vicious wind.
Meng Yishan sank with his body, pulled out the broken saber behind his back with his backhand, got up and turned his waist to make a whirl! In the cold light condensation, the blades on his body were cut off together, and the spearhead of the broken knife flew all over the ground, and he roared loudly in his mouth, and the treasure knife flashed three times in succession, splitting three human heads alive, and the blood light flew into the air like a neon practice!
Lao Meng urged the dark clouds to cover the snow, and the BMW hissed three arrows away! With a wild swing of the momentum, several more people wailed and flew out. Wherever you go, you can't stop it. The sword light is like a rainbow, it will be broken when it is strong, and the jade is cut into gold. The slashing momentum is like the first sun shining on the snow melting. One man and one horse, vertical and horizontal.
The three thousand warriors under the command of the king of Xiaojun died more than a thousand at this time, and Zhu Ju said unwillingly to the monk Wuche beside him: "Master, can you cooperate with Captain Zhang to fight back, kill that Gao Changtai, and destroy his main general." ”
Shaolin Prison shook his head, it was too difficult.
"Fight again, press hard and take down my father, and this battle will be won!"
Zhang Dongge yelled at Zhu Ju: "Brothers, there is no combat power, it's too late!" ”
Zhang Dongge didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Ju at this time, and ordered the soldiers not to mess up, retreat while fighting, and gain time to lure the enemy deeper. Most of the rear tried to retreat, bringing the opponent to a decisive battle in the alleys of the houses not far away.
During this period, three defensive counterattacks were organized, but they were all trampled by Meng Yishan's horse team three times, and the blood flowed and the pestle flowed, and finally most of the Yongning army retreated into the streets and alleys.
Zhang Dongge sent the soldiers at the entrance of the alley to attack fiercely for a while, luring the cavalry in.
Lao Meng led the team to kill at the forefront, and now he has the advantage, and he can't fight with this group of defeated troops in Yongning Mansion. He reined in his horse and shouted to him, "Stop chasing! ”
A group of his subordinates chased after him, and when they saw him suddenly shouting to stop, they were all satisfied with the pursuit. Suddenly Yun Li pulled the reins, and stayed there to watch the Yongning Army completely withdraw into the alleys.
There are many officers in the Yongning Army who lead the troops, and it is an unusual number for him to be able to command everyone by taking advantage of the crisis, and now he has won a chance to breathe. These generals immediately made noise, surrendered, desperately, and broke through to the outside of the city. There are all kinds of positions, and it is difficult to unify them.
Zhang Dongge had no good intentions, and he was as chaotic as hemp. He looked out the alley at the horses, where they all dismounted and rested by the saddle. The soldiers of Yiwangfu blocked the mouth of the alley, and the Marquis Gao did not order to enter the clearing and prepare for the siege.
The remnants of the Yongning Army were defeated at this time, and to add insult to injury, the sound of a large army coming from the street in the distance had already been heard.
Luoyang, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, guards the left and right. The three guards, each of which has a full 10,000 soldiers, and the three guards are all old people that Zhu Zhanlong can order, and they have been dispatched with 5,000 fresh troops to encircle and suppress.
At this moment, the Yongning Army no longer has the unity and morale at the beginning of the war, and there is a mess inside, and it is difficult for a few leaders to restrain this situation. Someone persuaded the king of Xiaojun to surrender and ask the prince for guilt, but Zhu Ju shook his head and said that he would not agree to anything.
At this time, the guards of the palace outside began to shout: "Yongning's brothers, put down your weapons and come out to surrender, they are all imperial court troops, why bother killing each other!" ”
The little king shouted at the army: "No one is allowed to surrender to the enemy, my father is angry and kills you all!" The words were frantic and threatening.
There are people in the Yongning army who have floating thoughts, and these people unanimously support the king of Xiaojun to ascend the throne. At this moment, seeing the defeat of the war, there is no hope of wealth and wealth.
But really no one dared to say surrender. The prince's own sons did not dare to surrender, and they did not dare. There is no way back when things are done.
Zhu Ju is Zhu Zhanlong's own son, and the prince may not kill Zhu Ju, but these subordinate officers will be charged with instigating Zhu Ju to rebel and rebel. It's not impossible for the three clans to be in trouble, and now they can only close their eyes and jump into the fire pit and fight to the death.
Captain Zhang Dongge threw away the scabbard of the waist knife and raised the steel knife to prepare to organize resistance. The battle will be lost! Just do the duty of a soldier.
Seeing that no one squeaked after a long time of persuasion, Liu Li, deputy chief soldier of Liu Li, rode to the front of the military formation outside the alley, and asked for a torch from a family member, reflecting the scorching firelight, and the deputy chief soldier said viciously: "If the people inside don't come out and surrender, I will set fire to the house!" ”
Liu Li's voice was loud, and as soon as he shouted these words, both the enemy and us heard it, this piece was really going to be overfired, and he could only be trapped in the alley and burned alive, and the battle could not be fought.
As soon as the soldiers heard the ignition, some of them wept bitterly, and their weapons clanged and fell to the ground.
But most people still have hatred in their hearts and are ready to go out and fight hard.
Wu Che hid behind Zhu Ju. Seeing that the crowd had not dispersed, Yu Yong could drum, so he took two steps forward and whispered in the ear of the little county king: "Order a breakthrough!" I'll take you out of Luoyang and back to Shaolin Temple. ”
Zhu Ju was shocked when he heard this, and the monk's words gave him hope, and he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Let's break through!" Go home, go back to Yongning! ”
At this time, he lied, just trying to use the army as a cover, so that Wu Che could take him out through the melee.
What happened to these henchmen and generals, Zhu Ju couldn't take care of it, and ran one by one.
Everyone was going to fight desperately with the enemy army outside, but they were stunned when they heard him break through! Rushing out of Luoyang City is too nonsense, but staying to fight in the streets is also death.
The little county king was out of the way, snatched a sword from his subordinates, waved it and shouted: "Kill out!" Under mental tension, he missed the hilt of the sword, and the palm of his right hand was cut by the spine of the sword with an inch-long wound, and the blood flowed non-stop. He was so disturbed that he forgot about the pain, stomped his feet and scolded and encouraged everyone to break through.
Captain Zhang didn't say a word, picked up his waist knife and walked to the alley first, and his subordinates followed one after another at first sight, acting as the dead soldier of the forward. Seeing this, the army behind him stopped the dispute, and many people followed the action and began to fish outward, and the rest followed silently.
Wu Che admired the bravery of these sergeants in his heart, took one of Zhu Ju's hands, carried him by his side, lifted his light body kung fu, fluttered in black clothes, and ran out of the alley with all his strength.
The soldiers guarding the entrance of the alley were waiting in formation, and the palace had a big advantage, and everyone couldn't help but relax a little. The soldiers were sleepy and tired, and they only hoped that the war would end as soon as possible.
The shouting of killing suddenly became loud, and the Yongning soldiers trapped in the alley rushed to break through the siege like a wave of rage, anyway, they were all dead, if they rushed out of the city, everyone took this thought and ignited their fighting spirit again, and attacked the outer military formation with the slightly insufficient blades and armor in their hands. Swords and guns rang out, and the screams of dying resounded through the streets again.
The defenders of Yiwangfu silently moved out of the way, and the armies of the three guards in Luoyang formed a line of defense, and the spears were waved like a forest, and countless blood flashed in the stabs.
Under Gao Changtai's signal, the encirclement was slowly compressed, and the pockets were tightened, stifling the momentum of the enemy's breakthrough.
Wu Che encountered obstacles all the way, and the Luoyang army that tried his best to block it was full of figures, blocking the way ahead.
The monk hit a real fire, his iron palm broke through the wind and slapped continuously, everything in front of him collapsed in front of his palm power, and even the soldiers of the palace were beaten by him even if they were wearing invulnerable iron armor, they were beaten by him and flew back, and their heavy internal organs were shattered. In the blink of an eye, he took Zhu Ju to kill more than 20 zhang, and a black monk's robe was mixed in the night, revealing a murderous atmosphere.
A few neighing horses, five or six war horses stepped on the ground and thundered hooves to step towards Wu Che and Zhu Ju, all of them were cavalry horses. The monk stopped the galloping momentum, put down the Zhu Ju and turned to face the pursuers, and a cavalryman rode up and slashed with a big sword.
Wu Che raised his palm and held down the blade of the knife with a crane peck, shook his hand and shook the hundred-pound man off the horse, with a little bluestone road on his toes, he slapped it with a palm, and slapped the head of the horse that followed him into a bloody blur, and killed him together with the knight. If the force is so terrifying, it makes the following horses stop in fright out of instinct, and the scene is indescribably terrifying.
In the confusion, a horse behind him neighed and ran towards Wu Che, as if frightened and unable to drink.
The monk's face was slightly pale, and although the momentum of slapping the galloping horse with a few people was incomparable, it was also very depleting of true strength, and it delayed his escape momentum. I want to take the horse and break out of the encirclement.
The galloping horse was about to step on Wu Che in the blink of an eye, and he turned his body to the side, letting the horse's head fly with an angry mane, and flicked his legs! The Sky Crack kicked at the knight on the horse as fast as lightning, and with a thud the man was kicked two feet high, and he fell off the horse heavily.
The figure of the black-clothed monk moved, quickly grabbed the reins of the horse, and was about to take Zhu Ju on the horse, when a chill suddenly flashed in his heart.
Under the horse's belly, a white and slender hand was stretched out, two fingers were slightly together, and three fingers were released, silently forming a twisted handprint. Swiftly and silently imprinted on the monk's back.
Wu Che's black monk's robe instantly inflated into a balloon under the urging of internal qi, boom! The hastily constructed protective true qi could not resist the sneak attack of this unknown opponent with all his might, and the powerful qi that seemed to be a finger skill and a palm power shattered the body protection qi in one fell swoop.
Wu Che's back monk's robe burst, and a pale green palm print was printed on his pale back, which was located at the middle spine and the intersection of the meridians and the sun. Yin and Yang sympathetic, the internal strength and yang fire were completely triggered by this palm yin energy from the dantian, and it flowed straight to the Du pulse and suddenly flowed to the whole body.
The pain of burning the meridians made the monk let out a miserable scream, and he hurriedly vented the power of destruction in his body according to the method of internal qi, and layers of blood mist scattered around his body. Through the discharge of the yin energy entering the body and the raging yang fire in the body through the pores of the whole body, the vitality of the eye-piercing kung fu is greatly damaged.
The monk did not die, the man hiding under the horse's belly was very unexpected, and swept out from under the horse, the man was dressed in yellow, with a thin face, it was the great eunuch Wang He.
