Chapter 439: Trap

Breaking through the wall of Xiangguo does not mean the end of the war.

A part of the Yan army in the city frantically fled from the north gate, and the men and horses crowded each other and trampled on each other.

Some remained in the inner city to fight to the death.

Qian Zhao built the imperial city in Xiangguo, and these people did not retreat.

General Youyan will boost morale at the head of the city, "The reinforcements of the Metropolitan Governor are on the way, and they only need to defend for half a day to defeat the Liang thieves and capture Li Yue alive!" ”

The imperial city is narrower than the outer city, but it is stronger, all built of stone, the pedal arrow can not be nailed, the rushing car can not enter, can only rely on the soldiers to climb the long ladder with flesh and blood.

Since they are willing to stay, they are naturally all veterans of the Yan army, and they are desperate for the Murong family.

Once a person has the heart of death, his combat effectiveness will soar.

Although the Black Cloud soldiers are also attacking upwards without fear of death, they are blocked by the city wall, and they really can't help them for a while, and the soldiers are already tired.

"Where is Murong Ke?" Li Yue calmed down instead.

There were about five or six thousand people left in the imperial city, and Murong Jun's tooth flag fluttered above the city tower, and it was this tooth flag that condensed Yan Jun's last breath.

This attack on Xiangguo was originally a move to take advantage of the fire, to fight quickly and slowly, and to attack it unprepared.

It's not impossible to attack, but looking at the momentum of the Yan army in the city, it will be a bitter battle, and then a decisive battle with the elite under Murong Ke's command, the situation will be a little dangerous.

"Murong Ke personally led 20,000 elite cavalry south, and he has reached Zhongqiu, with 40,000 infantry troops behind." Zhang Shengye arched his hand.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person, Murong Ke's reputation is too loud.

Yan Guo can have today's momentum, all thanks to him, even the invincible Ran Min was captured by him.

Zhongqiu is only forty or fifty miles away from Xiangguo, and half a day is indeed enough.

There were still some remnants of the army in the city who were resisting to the death, and black smoke was billowing up into the sky.

Li Yue glanced at the imperial city, under the tooth flag, a long lance was standing against the wind, a gray hair was dancing in the wind, and the red cloak was rolling back and forth, quite decisive.

Needless to say, this person is Murong Jun, the general of the Fu Army of Yan State, the eighth son of Murong Diao, and Murong Ke's uncle.

Looking at his posture, there is no need to persuade him to surrender.

"It's good to come! Murong Ke dared to come, and he was determined to let him come and go! The order was to postpone the attack on the inner city, the second army of the middle base and the Xiaocai held the camp outside the city, the second army of the backbone and the forward rested on the spot, and the other armies quickly cleaned up the city wall and the outer city, and all the city gates were opened. Li Yue calmly responded.

Murong Jun is a turtle in an urn and can't run.

When marching and fighting, you can't mess around, and it is Murong Ke who is threatening.

Murong Ke's value is much greater than that of Murong Jun, and even greater than this city.

Li Yue simply took Xiangguo City as a battlefield, invited Murong Ke into the urn, and decided the victory here, Murong Ke was good at cavalry, and the city was not good for him.

"Command!" The heralds scattered.

Xiangguo City surrendered to Ran Min four years ago, and the people in the city were relocated.

Later, Murong Chui took advantage of the fall of Ran Wei and attacked Xiangguo, and the few people left in the city were also moved away and became a large military camp.

Xu Cheng ordered the houses to be demolished, using the ruins of the wall as antlers, not only to guard against Murong Ke's cavalry, but also to prevent Murong Ke's army from suddenly killing out.

However, tens of thousands of troops entering the city cannot be completed in a moment.

In order to avoid trampling on each other, Xu Cheng put up more than 50 long ladders in the southern city and let the soldiers climb the ladders into the city.

Although it is still a bit chaotic, the speed of entering the city is much faster.

Li Yue led the Su Guards to be stationed under the north city gate, and a "beam" tooth stood on the top of the city tower, reaching the sky.

In winter, the northern sky is clear and blue, and the low white clouds seem to float around the tooth curtain.

Xu Cheng defended Nancheng.

The battle on the city wall and in the city was more intense, and Zhang Hao was leading the army to fight to the death, but the city wall was narrow and crowded, and the strength advantage of the Black Cloud Army could not be brought into play.

It can only be moved forward one step at a time.

The Yan army left behind was almost all dead, piled up corpses, and strangled with the Black Cloud Army at the head of the city.

All kinds of screams came one after another, and the desperate Yan army continued to squeeze down the city wall and fall into a ball of bloody mud.

There are also people who are prostrate on the ground, begging for their lives.

At some point, a fire broke out in the city, black smoke billowed out, the fire was so great that it seemed to have used fire oil, and the screams came from the fire, and a scorching smell filled the whole city.

War horses, cattle and sheep were disturbed and scurryed around, and the soldiers happily stepped forward to catch them.

As a result of the fire, the resistance in the city gradually subsided.

However, the resistance on the outer city wall continued, and the capital city that Shile spent eighteen years to build had a circumference of more than 20 li, and in its heyday, there were more than 700,000 Xia Hu in the city.

Drain the spring water to flow around the city, the city opens four gates, takes the North Garden as the big city of Xiangguo, builds the De Palace, the Zhengwen Palace, the single Yu Ting, the single Yu Tai, the East Hall, the West Pavilion, the Hou Six Palaces, the 100-foot Building, the Chongxun Palace, the Sheji Altar, the Temple, the Pot Department, the Tibetan Ice Room.

Later, it was burned by Ran Min, and the palace was completely destroyed, but the city wall was retained.

The remnants of the army were mainly concentrated on the eastern and western walls, and the towering walls were almost dyed red.

As far as Li Yue's eyes could see, the moat was covered with corpses.

The Black Cloud soldiers rushed to kill, and the remnants of the Yan army retreated step by step, but they resisted to the end, and they did not surrender.

Yan Guo can sweep the northern soil, naturally has its advantages.

And Murong Ke came faster than expected.

It took almost two hours for the army outside the city to enter the city, and the sound of horses' hooves outside the city was like thunder, from far and near, and the ground shook with it.

In the imperial city, the remnants of the army let out bursts of cheers, like a drowning dying person seeing a floating straw.

The morale of the remnants of the army on the city wall was also greatly boosted, and they actually launched a counterattack, but they were still suppressed by the Black Cloud soldiers.

The corners of Li Yue's mouth rolled up a sneer, they are the turtles in the urn, but they are also the bait for Murong Ke to enter the city! Although the fighting has not stopped, the situation in the city is under his control.

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, louder and louder, and the torrential rain was like thunder, and the sound was very strong.

The backbone and forward soldiers jumped up from the ground, although they did not rest for long, but their faces were full of excitement, and the experienced veteran stuffed dry food into his mouth and drank water.

If Murong Ke can come so quickly, he must have doubled the road, and after running wildly, how much combat power does he have?

Xiangguo City is a trap carefully prepared by Li Yue for Murong Ke, just waiting for him to fall into the net!

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who win because of the change of the enemy are called gods!

Whether it is besieging the city or sending reinforcements, or taking chestnuts from the fire, it is ever-changing, and the opportunity for victory or defeat lies in the people who use the soldiers.

Li Yue stared at the city gate, at this moment, he was not afraid of Murong Ke's assault, he was afraid that he would not come.

But the sound of horses' hooves suddenly subsided, and the outside of the city gradually fell into silence, except for the whirring of the wind.

This silence also affected the remnants of the fighting army on the city walls, who looked to the north in confusion.

In the inner city, the gray-haired Murong Jun was also looking north.

It seems that everyone is looking forward to Murong Ke entering the city......
