Chapter 30 Attack on Jixian 2

?

The Xia army quickly moved towards Jixian County, and in Jixian County, General Wu was also ready to occupy the city 'gate' at any time.

Their plan was very simple, just wait for time, and when the time came, the defenders at the 'gate' of the city were relaxed, and they would take the 'gate' in one fell swoop.

It is not difficult to capture the city gate, but General Wu and they will face a very serious problem, if they capture the city gate, but Li Xinpeng's army does not arrive in time, then they will have to directly face the Yan army that is several times or even more than ten times their size, and whether they defend the city gate or not, the best fighters will never return.

Several Xia soldiers dressed in civilian costumes were far away from the Yan army at the entrance of the city 'gate'.

The city 'gate' of Jixian County has been closed, and a small group of Yan soldiers are standing lazily near the city 'gate', and some Yan soldiers have even leaned against the wall and closed their eyes and snored.

Seeing Yan Jun's performance, the Xia soldiers couldn't help but feel a little funny.

An army like this that lacks chance will inevitably not be very strong in combat effectiveness, and the defenders of the capital of Yan Kingdom are still like this, and the troops stationed in other cities of Yan Kingdom will definitely not be much better.

Fighting such an army would certainly be much easier than fighting the Huns.

The soldiers of the Xia army ignored a problem, when fighting against the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang, the main force was not the Xia army, which was dominated by infantry, but the fox and wolf army under Humuchun's tent, and at that time, Xiang Ye adopted the tactics of a surprise attack and caught the Huns off guard.

Now the situation is completely different, the Qianxia army led by General Wu is completely alone, once they do not cooperate well with the supporting Li Xinpeng, the whole battle, they are likely to be annihilated.

"General, the Yan army guarding the 'gate' of the city is defenseless, and our army can attack them at any time!" The Xia soldiers who were in charge of observing the movements of the Yan army reported to General Wu.

General Wu lowered his head and groaned for a while, then raised his head to look at the stars in the sky, and said to the soldiers who came to report: "You go and inform it, everyone should not act rashly!" ”

The soldier answered and sent an order to the Xia army entering the city.

At the same time, Li Xinpeng led the main force to a place only two miles away from Jixian County and stopped.

He rode on horseback and looked at the quiet Jixian County with a wrinkled brow.

The hour of the appointment with General Wu had passed, and he had been worried that he would not be able to arrive in time on the way here. But when I arrived here, I found that Jixian County was quiet, and there was no sign of fighting at all.

"General Wu, what is this doing?" A member of the general walked up to Li Xinpeng and whispered: "The appointed hour has passed, why don't they do it yet?" Could it be that it has been discovered and annihilated by the Yan army? ”

Li Xinpeng shook his head and said resolutely: "No, if they are discovered by the Yan army, Jixian County will definitely strengthen its defense at this time, but I haven't found anything unusual in the city, it seems that there is only one explanation, that is, General Wu is worried that we will not be able to arrive in time and delay the fighter, so he deliberately delayed for some more hours." ”

The general didn't speak again, and quietly stood beside Li Xinpeng, looking at the quiet Jixian County with concern.

After about half an hour, General Wu in the city raised his head and looked at the sky, and said to the herald beside him: "Immediately send the order down and take down the 'gate' of the city!" ”

"No!" ran to deliver orders to the scattered Xia army.

As soon as the herald left, General Wu said to an officer beside him: "You stay here, and after we have rushed out for about half a pillar of incense, regardless of whether the city 'gate' has been taken or not, you will convey the message that the city 'gate' has been taken outside the city."

Although the officer was a little puzzled by the order given by General Wu, he still accepted the task.

After arranging these, General Wu 'draws' his long sword from under the timber of a cart beside him, and pointed at the city 'gate' and shouted: "Kill!" ”

With his order, the Xia army, who had already 'drawn' their weapons, shouted in unison and rushed towards the city gate.

The Yan army guarding the 'gate' of the city was lazily carrying out the task of guarding the 'gate' as before, and suddenly heard a shout of killing, and was taken aback.

A thousand Xia soldiers dressed in ordinary people's clothes shouted and rushed to the city gate, and the Yan army who was responsible for guarding the city at the head of the city heard the shouting and killing, and quickly poked out his head to see what was going on.

Before these Yan troops could understand what was happening, General Wu had already rushed to the gate of the city first.

The two Yan soldiers rushed towards General Wu with their spears, and when they were about to approach, they violently 'pushed out' the spears in their hands and stabbed them straight into General Wu's heart.

General Wu flicked the long sword in his hand, flicked one of the spears aside, grabbed the void to the side with the other, and grabbed the other spear that pierced his heart.

After grabbing the spear, he retracted his arm back, dragged the spear-holding Yan Jun to him, raised the long sword in his hand, and slashed down at the top of the Yan army's head.

The Yan soldier desperately grabbed the spear, and finally stabilized his body, and was about to snatch the spear with General Wu, but there was a sudden pain on the top of his head, and then his eyes turned black, and he fell straight down.

After killing one Yan soldier, General Wu jumped forward two steps, the long sword in his hand was horizontal, and his body was short, and he slashed towards the waist of another Yan army.

The soldiers of the Yan Army saw the long sword slashing towards their waists, and hurriedly blocked with their spears.

He didn't expect that General Wu's long sword was a new type of general-style weapon that Xiang Ye ordered to be supervised and manufactured, and its sharpness was no less than Xiang Ye's sword.

The sword struck the shaft of the spear, and the shaft of the spear broke in two without even making a sound of breaking.

The Yan soldier holding a half-cut spear looked at the spear in his hand in a daze, and then looked at the long sword that had slashed from his waist, and fell down in disbelief.

The Xia army that followed behind General Wu rushed towards the Yan army at the entrance of the city 'gate', and the Yan army defending the city 'gate' was only a few dozen people.

More than a dozen Xia soldiers ran to the edge of the city gate, lifted the latch of the gate, and pulled the city gate open.

As they opened the gates, a flaming arrow flew into the air, followed by a second and a third.

Li Xinpeng, who was outside the city, saw the rocket coming out of Jixian County, and hurriedly brandished his spear and shouted to the army behind him: "The city 'gate' has been opened, kill me with me!" ”

When General Wu attacked the city gate, the Yan army on the city wall immediately divided his troops to kill the city, trying to recapture the city gate.

At the entrance of the city 'gate', the 1,000 Xia army led by General Wu desperately resisted the Yan army that was constantly pouring towards them, and after the city 'gate' was attacked, the Yan army in the city soon gathered and opened towards the city 'gate' in batches.

Li Xinpeng led the tiger camp to rush straight to the 'gate' of Jixian County, and when they rushed to a distance of only more than 50 steps from the 'gate' of the city, arrows rained down on the city wall.

Many Xia officers and soldiers were 'shot' by arrows and fell to the ground.

Although the army was being attacked by arrows, Li Xinpeng had no intention of suspending the attack, he brandished his spear and rushed to the front, and soon reached the entrance of the city 'gate'.

General Wu, who was desperately fighting with the Yan army at the 'gate' of the city, saw that Li Xinpeng had been killed, and his morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and they all roared angrily and launched a new 'wave' attack towards the city.

Although their numbers were small, this attack still pushed the Yan army, who outnumbered them, into the rear.

This section is very important to the Xia army outside the city, and it is this distance that leaves more space for the Xia army outside the city, and the Xia army pours into Jixian County like a tide.

The Yan army on the city wall was still 'shooting' arrows at the Xia army that was rushing towards Jixian County, and many Xia troops fell under their arrow rain.

Li Xinpeng, who had already rushed into the city, turned over and jumped off his horse, waved his spear at the Xia army behind him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, take down the city wall with me!" ”

A group of Yan troops poured down from the city walls, standing on the stairs and condescendingly resisting the attack of the Xia army.

A spear stabbed at Li Xinpeng's shoulder, he dodged sideways, and the spear in his hand was handed forward, and the spear pierced deep into the 'chest' of the Yan army holding the spear.

After stabbing this Yan soldier to death, he raised his spear above his head and slashed it twice, and 'forced' the Yan army standing on the stairs to retreat a little.

The Xia army behind took advantage of the moment when the Yan army retreated, and they all shouted in unison and rushed forward desperately.

Although these Yan troops had also fought, they had never fought against such a fierce opponent, and the defense line was immediately broken by the Xia army.

Many of the Yan officers and soldiers tripped over the steps and fell to the ground as they retreated towards the city walls, which meant that they would never be able to get up again.

One spear after another stabbed at the Yan officers and soldiers who fell to the ground and struggled to get up, turning these originally fresh lives into corpses in the blink of an eye.

The Yan army on the city wall saw that the Xia army was attacking from behind, and many people raised their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to the Xia army.

At first, the Xia army did not do anything against these Yan troops who surrendered on their knees, but after Li Xinpeng went to the city wall, all this changed.

"All the Yan troops on the city wall are killed, and no prisoners are left!" On the city wall, Li Xinpeng remembered the killing and wounding caused by the Yan army on the city wall to his officers and soldiers when he launched an attack on Jixian County just now, where would he still be willing to leave them behind, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, he gave the order to kill the Xia army.

The Xia army, who got the order, was like a bloodthirsty wolf, and pounced on the Yan army who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

It was too late for the Yan army, who were kneeling on the ground, to get up and resist, and before they could stand up, Xia Jun's spear pierced their bodies.

The Xia army quickly occupied the city 'gate' and city walls with lightning speed, but the ensuing battle was not as simple as Li Xinpeng and most Xia officers and soldiers imagined.

After all, Jixian is the capital of the Yan Kingdom, and the Yan garrison here has more than 50,000 people, nearly twice as many as the Xia army, and a fierce battle is coming to the Xia army that has broken through the city 'gate' and the city wall. ~
