Chapter 375: Someone Came in the Middle of the Night
Such a dead silence in the middle of the night was not broken until Xu Feng suddenly spoke.
The reason why Xu Feng opened his mouth was not because he thought of some good ideas, but because he faintly heard something in his ears.
With a look of surprise on his face, he suddenly shouted out a sentence:
"Special! Is it because I haven't slept well for so long that my brain is a little lost now? Listen carefully, is there a sound of horses' hooves in the north outside the city? ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was in high spirits.
Without the slightest delay, he immediately straightened up his ears and began to listen carefully.
Even Hu Biao, Yu Hanfeng, and the stinky old fart directly lay on the ground, and began to listen with one of their ears against the ground.
In such a process, the expressions of the crowd were quite nervous.
The main reason why these people are so unbearable is that whether this one thing is true or not is too important to them.
Because if it is true, it means that there is already a reinforcement from Pingzhou City.
If that were the case, they thought that if they could get five hundred reinforcements into the city, with the help of these men; can rely on street fighting, and have the confidence to consume those Jurchens until they retreat.
What was surprising was that as they listened carefully, they could hear the faint sound of horses' hooves, all the way to the north gate.
Even as time goes by, the sound of these horses' hooves has become closer and clearer.
Then it can really be a real hammer, this must be the reinforcements sent by Zhang Jue of Pingzhou City; With the arrangement of the Jurchens, it is still difficult to have the ass of the reinforcements, and they are in a frenzied pursuit.
It is precisely because of this that such a movement reaches their ears.
After realizing all of the above, these people immediately had no hesitation in their hearts, and after Hu Biao greeted them, as long as they were able to act at the moment, they all ran towards the north city wall.
When he trotted all the way over, Hu Biao's mouth did not forget to shout out loudly:
"We're saved, reinforcements are finally coming.
Pengju, Niu Gao, and Tang Huai, and brought some archers with me to the city wall to meet them; Wang Gui and Zhang Xian, take people to hurry up and move the things blocking the north gate for me, so that they can enter the city quickly, and the action must be fast. ”
The reason why Hu Biao was in a hurry shouted these words.
It was the only north and south walls of Haiyang City, because they were afraid that they would be opened by the Jurchens, so they let the cavalry rush in, and then copied the routine they had used to capture the city.
So on the 28th, these two gates were completely blocked by them.
Now don't use bows and arrows to suppress some pursuers, and at the same time quickly open the city gate, those precious reinforcements really can't rush in through the north gate.
Of course, Haiyang City is now full of gaps in the east, west and south walls, and it is also possible to enter the city from there.
The crux of the matter is that those gaps are full of collapsed walls, and the remains of burned corpses, and people can walk slowly, but their horses are afraid that they will not be able to enter, so they can only cheapen the Jurchens.
With the above thoughts, Hu Biao and the others hurriedly ran up the city wall.
Then, they could see that under the less bright moonlight tonight, the actual situation was somewhat unexpected to them.
Indeed, just as they expected, there were two groups of men and horses on the main road outside the city, one in front of the other, and they were galloping towards the horses.
The distance between the two sides is only seventy or eighty meters now.
Therefore, in the process of pursuit, the people in the back kept shooting the sharp arrows in their hands, so that many arrows were already inserted in the backs of the people in front.
It is estimated that these people are wearing at least one piece of good iron armor, so they have not been shot to the ground.
According to the analysis of the current battlefield situation, the group of people in front is naturally their reinforcements; The group of people in the back was the Jurchens.
But the number of reinforcements they came from before seems to be a little too small, right?
At a glance, it was only five or six horses to talk about; Special! In the current environment, what role can people play in coming?
******
But then again, the number of these reinforcements is small.
It's not that Hu Biao did nothing and let them be caught up and killed by the Jurchens.
Soon after, the group of people in front had already entered a distance of fifty meters under the city, and the Jurchen pursuers behind them were about to enter within a hundred meters.
At this time, it will take a long time for the blocked north gate to be completely cleared, and it is obviously too late
Seeing that the situation was so critical, Hu Biao roared in his mouth: "Release arrows and shoot those Jurchens." ”
In such a sentence, Yue Fei, Lao Hei, and other more than a hundred people all shot the bows and arrows in their hands or the yellow birch crossbow towards the pursuers under the city.
Although after a distance of 100 meters, the power of the crossbow arrows that were summoned out had been greatly reduced, and they could not shoot through the iron armor on those Jurchens at all.
But in the dense rain of arrows, there were still five or six people who were shot in the face of the door.
Or maybe it was the reason why the war horse was frightened by the arrow, and they all fell off the horse on the spot, and more than a dozen people fell off the horse at once.
More importantly, under the suppression of the rain of arrows on the city wall, these Jurchens did not dare to continue to approach; They could only slow down their horses and shoot at the reinforcements with bows and arrows.
In the blink of an eye, two unlucky reinforcements were shot off their horses.
However, at this time, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, Xu Feng, AT and several other people who did not pick up the bow and crossbow to launch were already throwing a rope out of the moat under the city.
also shouted in his mouth: "Grab the rope, we'll pull you up~"
In this way, the remaining four people immediately flipped down after hurriedly pulling the war horses before rushing into the moat with their crotch war horses.
After grabbing the rope on the ground, several people in the city pulled a rope together.
The four of them were pulled up the low city wall, and in such a small amount of time, two reinforcements were shot in the arm under the Jurchens' precise archery skills.
After one couldn't grasp the rope steadily, he fell directly into the moat.
Suddenly, they were dressed in heavy iron armor, and immediately sank directly to the bottom of the moat like a heavy stone.
Because at the bottom, but because there were many sharp wooden thorns inserted, the two people never floated up behind them at all.
It's just that at this time, the remaining two were finally pulled up the city wall by them.
It was also after arriving at such a very close place, through the not very bright moonlight tonight, that they saw clearly that one of the leading figures was actually their acquaintance.
Another Xuanzan of Xuanshuai Mansion, Hu Biao's friend: Ma Kuo......
Seeing that Ma Kuo and the others successfully landed in the city, the Jurchen pursuers outside the city had no intention of continuing to attack the city; In the sound of bone whistles, they decisively turned their horses' heads and left.
Thinking about the previous siege war, it had already left them with enough psychological shadows.
Now I don't want to do it at all, and I will continue to attack the city at the risk of death.
"Phew! These grandsons who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard~" After Hu Biao spit out a mouthful of saliva, he scolded like this in his mouth, and then called Yue Fei and asked him to arrange a group of people to post behind the four city walls and gaps.
It was to take the horse and go to the barricades in the city together.
I hope to find out as soon as possible what the situation is here in Pingzhou City and Yanjing City after they have been cut off from the outside world for a few days.
What's more critical is whether Ma Kuo broke through the Jurchens' interception and rushed into the city at the risk of death this time, did it bring some good news......
