Chapter 491: Yun Zhen Returns

"The order is to go down, the four city gates must be strictly defended, and the enemy must not be allowed to attack like this." Shen Hongjun looked at the surging crowd below and calmly ordered.

On the city wall, the archers kept shooting arrows downward, and many people below were injured by arrows. Of course, there are also archers from the Dongyi people below, and at this time, the rain of arrows is also overwhelmingly shooting towards the city wall. However, with the battlements of the city wall in the way, those flying feather arrows cannot be effectively attacked. This is the biggest difference between besieging a city and defending a city.

There were indeed a lot of people below, and the soldiers of Dongyi rushed forward like a tide, gradually approaching the root of the city wall. And once they get close, the bow and arrow are useless.

"Marshal, there are enemy attacks at the four city gates of the east, west, north and south, but the west gate is the weakest, and our east gate is the strongest." Shen Zhong had just walked around before he came back, and he wanted Shen Hongjun to report it.

Shen Hongjun frowned slightly, "The west is the weakest?" Are you sure? There are very few people attacking over there? "Why does he think something is wrong?" Let's go over and have a look. So saying, he came down from the city wall, and then rode directly towards the western city.

Shen Hongjun and the others came to Xicheng, and before they could reach the city gate, they found that many people were fighting fiercely at the city gate. One side is the Great Zhou soldiers guarding the city gate, and the other side looks like Gao Li's people. "It's not good, sure enough, there are spies mixed in, hurry, kill it." Shen Hongjun shouted loudly.

At this time, those Gao Li's people had already killed a lot of defenders of the city by virtue of their large numbers. And under the cover of a part of the people, the gates of the city were opened.

There are countless Dongyi soldiers attacking the city outside the city, how can they let go of this opportunity? Suddenly, a number of Dongyi soldiers poured in from the city gate.

Most of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were defending on the city wall, and at this moment, many people hurriedly rushed down, but it was too late.

As soon as Shen Hongjun saw this situation, he rushed forward with the halberd in his hand. Shen Zhong and the others also had red eyes at this time, brandishing their weapons and rushing forward to kill.

Originally, if they stuck to the city, ten days and half a month, there would be no problem at all. But now the city gate has been opened by spies, once the enemy army pours in, then the city of Cheongju will not be protected, and their 100,000 soldiers will also face the catastrophe of life and death. But is it strange? When they took the city, there were not many people left. After that, all the people were all under centralized care, and there were thousands of people left to guard them, how could there be spies mixed in?

At this moment, it is no longer the time to think about this, in the hearts of everyone, there is only one belief, that is, they cannot let Dongyi's army attack in, and they must hold Xicheng. However, there is a big gap between ideas and reality. Outside the West City Gate, there was a loud shout of killing at this moment, and it was obvious that outside the West City Gate, it was the main force of the enemy army.

Shen Hongjun placed more than 20,000 people on the four city gates, and at this time, some of them continued to shoot the enemy on the city wall, and the other part followed behind Shen Hongjun to resist the enemy together.

"Marshal, it's too dangerous here, please retreat to another place." A general shouted loudly.

"If this place is not safe, it is just as dangerous everywhere, and today the commander will die in battle, and the enemy army will not be allowed to enter the city from here." The halberd in Shen Hongjun's hand flew up, and he was extremely brave, and many of the oncoming Dongyi soldiers died under his halberd.

The crowd no longer spoke, but was bent on entanglement with the enemy. Fortunately, the area under the city gate was not very spacious after all, and the enemy troops could not all enter, so it gave everyone a chance to breathe. But as more and more enemy troops poured in, the resistance on the side of Da Zhou became a little weak.

In the chaos, everyone can only resist desperately. At this moment, in their eyes, there are only enemy troops, and there is only one belief in their minds, that is, they cannot let these people break through.

The halberd in Shen Hongjun's hand was already stained with blood, and his arms and legs were also injured. Opposite him was a Dongyi general, who held a spear in his hand, which looked like the weapons of the Great Zhou. Moreover, this person's marksmanship is also the Yang family gun that was popular in the authentic Great Zhou army.

Shen Hongjun fought with the man for a few rounds, and the person on the other side was skilled in marksmanship and had great strength, and the two of them were inseparable. The doubts in Shen Hongjun's heart were even worse, he had never met such an opponent since he pacified Dongyi. This person is obviously not those Dongyi people, but like the Great Zhou people. Could it be that someone in Da Zhou defected to Dongyi? A thought suddenly popped up in Shen Hongjun's heart.

Shen Hongjun had a draw with the person in front of him, and Shen Zhong and them also encountered a difficult opponent. For a while, at the West City Gate, the two sides were entangled together and were in a state of stalemate.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou on the city wall shot arrows downwards with all their might, throwing rolling wood and stones, etc., to prevent the Dongyi soldiers behind from entering the city. But there are really a lot of soldiers in Dongyi, and they are constantly coming forward one after another, which is really difficult to deal with.

Suddenly, in the rear of the Dongyi army, an army suddenly came out. This army, like a sharp sword, was directly inserted into the rear of the Dongyi army. Dongyi's generals were all in front, and the soldiers behind obviously hadn't reacted yet, but they were crushed by the people who rushed from behind.

The soldiers defending the city were also very surprised, what kind of immortal was rushing up from behind? At this time, such a force suddenly came, don't look at it much, there are probably only about 10,000 people, but the offensive of these people is sharp and unexpected, and it is unexpected, and it will disrupt the rear of the Dongyi army at once.

Faced by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, Dongyi's army naturally could no longer continue to attack, and many Dongyi soldiers began to slowly spread out to both sides. In this way, it gave the army behind a chance, and this army soon came under the city gate.

Shen Hongjun also obviously felt that the pressure on the other side had been reduced a lot, and he was wondering in his heart, but he saw that all the soldiers who were originally defending the city rushed down to resist the enemy together. "What's going on?"

"Marshal, I don't know where the reinforcements came from, they have attacked from the rear of the enemy army, and they have already scattered the enemy army at this time." Someone shouted.

This sound, listening to the ears of the Great Zhou soldiers, was like fairy music. The crowd was in high spirits and shouted, "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, and the big guys are rushing." At this moment, everyone attacked each other with red eyes.

Dongyi's general also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" "This person is speaking in the words of the Great Zhou.

As soon as Shen Hongjun heard it, he knew that this person should be an authentic Da Zhou person, because in his voice, there was no kind of stiffness after learning the Great Zhou dialect. When did the generals of the Great Zhou actually defect to Dongyi? Shen Hongjun's heart rolled with anger, and the halberd in his hand attacked the opponent's vital point.

"Who's the rat? To do such a shameless thing of betraying one's ancestors and committing treason? Scum, what face do you have, and then say the language of my Da Zhou? Shen Hongjun shouted.

The person on the opposite side was said by Shen Hongjun, and his spear stopped for a moment, and the offensive was reduced by two points. And Shen Hongjun took advantage of this opportunity, and the halberd suddenly pierced the man's leg.

The other party was injured, shouted, and turned around and ran. Shen Hongjun urged the horse to catch up, and the halberd smashed into the man's back, this time, Shen Hongjun used a lot of strength. The man was speared behind his back, trying to block the blow, but was shocked by Shen Hongjun's strength and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Dongyi's general was already seeing the Venus in front of him at this moment, and he reluctantly grasped the reins and urged the horse to run out. But unexpectedly, a person suddenly came to him, and the big knife in his hand slashed at him. He hurriedly dodged, it was too late, his head just dodged, but half of his body was cut off by a big knife.

Dongyi's general shook his horse, then fell to the ground, trampled to death.

Shen Hongjun also saw the oncoming person clearly at this time, it was none other than Yun Zhen. Shen Hongjun was overjoyed, "Yun Zhen, is it really you?" ”

"Marshal, it is the last general. The last general brought people to rescue him late, and hoped that the marshal would forgive his sins. "The person opposite, tall and mighty, with a big knife in his hand, is majestic, it is Yun Zhen of the Han family.

Although Shen Hongjun had thousands of questions in his heart, but now was not the time to ask, he picked up the weapon in his hand and led everyone to drive away those Dongyi soldiers together.

Originally, Dongyi's soldiers were scattered, and at this time, the main general was killed again, and they had no intention of fighting, and ran back one by one.

Yun Zhen didn't bring many troops, just a momentum, and when he saw that Dongyi's army had withdrawn, he stopped chasing, "Marshal, poor Kou Mo chase." Yun Zhen shouted.

Shen Hongjun understands this truth even more, their current strength is still much worse than that of the other party. At this moment, it is indeed not appropriate to pursue, or it is important to hold the city. "Collect the troops, quickly withdraw to the city, and close the city gates." Shen Hongjun shouted loudly.

All the soldiers hurriedly withdrew to the city, and then all the people joined forces to gradually close the heavy city gate.

"Always keep an eye out for the enemy to attack again." Shen Hongjun instructed the soldiers guarding the city a few words, and then looked back at Yun Zhen, "Why don't you kid hurry up and tell me, what's going on?" At that time, the spies came to report that 10,000 of you were in the Valley of the Wild Wolves, and they were ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was destroyed. It just so happens that this side is under siege, and I can't send anyone to find out the news. Tell me, how did you escape? ”

Yun Zhen looked at Shen Hongjun with a very serious expression, "Marshal, we found that there are spies mixed in our army. For now, it is better to catch the spy first, so as not to leave a disaster. ”

Shen Hongjun's heart sank, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Yun Zhen nodded, "It's the county magistrate who sent grain and grass with him this time, Lord Wang." ”
