Chapter 318: The City Breaks

Xinhe is a county seat, and the area is not very wide, so the distance between the inner city and the outer city is only less than fifty steps, this distance is just as Yuan Ding predicted, the red-clothed ballista and the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower just can't exert their power, if they want to capture the inner city and defeat Yuan Ding, there is only one way in front of Yuan Qi, and it seems that there is only a strong attack.

I have to say that when Yuan Ding was mediocre, he was indeed mediocre to the extreme, but once he got up, he still had some insight, and this time his judgment of the battlefield situation was quite insightful, and he effectively restrained the two major killing weapons of the Yan army.

After seizing the outer city, Yuan Qi ordered the sergeants to sort out the ordnance materials on the city, and took advantage of this gap to temporarily hold a brief meeting with Zhuge Liang, Jia Yuan and others to discuss the next strategy. Finally, after everyone's discussion, Jia Yuan said: "King Yan, our army is limited, if there is no strong fire support, the casualties will be heavy, and the art of war, three times the enemy can barely attack it, and now the enemy is outnumbered, forcibly attacking the city, it is really unwise, and can not give full play to the advantages of my elite soldiers, the elite soldiers of the three armies, used to siege the city, this loser is also done." May there be a plan to clear the obstacles in the inner walls and allow my army to drive in, but it will only take a few more days. ā€

Yuan Qi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Sir, although he said it bluntly. ā€œ

Jia Yuan said: "The lord can send an army in the outer city, and the inner city into a confrontation situation, so that the inner city does not dare to go out lightly, in addition, send 10,000 soldiers up the mountain to cut wood, tonight will cut grass and trees, transport them to the inner city, and pour it with fire oil, burn the city for a day, and send another 10,000 soldiers to dig a ditch along the river, and divert water to the city, then, the city wall burned by fire, soaked in water, will inevitably collapse, our army... Huh"

Yuan Qi heard about the diversion of water, and couldn't help but be surprised, if this flooded the people in the city, then the good reputation he had accumulated with great difficulty would be over, and then continue to listen to Jia Yuan's explanation, only to understand that the feelings are just put on the city wall, not bad, not bad.

Everyone also applauded loudly, and then the generals were under the order, and each team was organized separately, Zhang Zong took 10,000 soldiers to chop wood, Xu Wei took 10,000 soldiers to dig ditches, Qi Tian, Zhao Hu and other generals led the troops to deter Yuan Jun.

Chairman Mao said, the more people are stronger, because they are far from the water source, the ditch digging at midnight, has entered the inner city, and then, close to the inner city, and carried out civil engineering, underground excavation, why, because, go further, is the Yuan army's arrow stone shooting range, in order to get as close to the city wall as possible, civil engineering operations are also as high as possible in the interior, so as to ensure that the water flow can soak the inner city in it, as soon as the sky is bright, I saw a large number of stone throwers with large pieces of wood on them, firewood and other flammable materials thrown to the foot of the inner city, these stone throwers are simple, do not seek to kill the enemy, just to send wood and firewood to the inner city, with the knowledge of the generals and soldiers of the Yuan Qi Army, of course, it is much easier to do.

When thousands of simple stone-throwing machines carried timber and firewood were thrown into the inner city, there was a feeling of covering the clouds and the sun, because the firewood was soaked in fire oil, it felt as if it was still drizzling...

For a while, Yuan Jun on the inner wall didn't know what was going on, and he was in a daze, until he smelled the smell of fire oil, and someone shouted loudly: "It's fire oil, they are going to burn the city!"

Yuan Ding had just made his rounds at this time, and couldn't help but smile coldly, "Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi, are you burning the city wall, or attacking with fire, even if you can burn it, what can you do, you can still burn my hundreds of thousands of troops."

When the firewood piles in the outer city were like small hills, Qi Tian ordered a hundred rocketeers in the outer city: "Release the arrows!" Then, the defenders of the outer city evacuated the outer city, and at this time, the fire between the inner and outer cities had already burned...

The fire burned for a day and a night, so that the defenders in the inner city had to withdraw to avoid being roasted into fragrant dryness.

When the inner city Yuan Jun was still immersed in the heat of the fire, the water had already rushed to the inner city wall, under this extreme heat, it was suddenly watered by the cold water, and the water vapor immediately came out under the inner city wall, and a large number of pieces of wall skin were falling off. After half a day's effort, a large hole collapsed in a city wall, like a new city gate hole.

Under the city, Yuan Qi waved his hand, and the Yan army rushed up. At this moment, behind the doorway, the Yuan army is already standing, and they will be the roadblocks for the Yan army to advance!

Zuo Ci threw down his bow and arrows, raised his wind-breaking gun, and shouted at the Yan army behind him: "Kill!

There are also people who are faster than Zuo Ci. Huang Yong, a veteran not far behind Zuo Ci, saw the city gate open, and immediately raised the Remnant Yang Red Blood Knife, together with Zhou Tai, rushed towards the city gate with the 20,000 cavalry behind him, and with the speed of the war horse, he left Zuo Ci's department behind him on the way to charge, like an indestructible weapon, and plunged into the city gate, as if it was a red blood knife in Huang Yong's hand, sharp and bloodthirsty.

Flashes of blood. The heads of the two Yuan soldiers flew up, hit the cave wall at the top of the city gate, and then were bounced off and fell to the ground. It was Huang Yong's Red Blood Knife that cut off their heads. With a shake of the blood beads on the blade, Huang Yong let out a broken cry, and the silver dragon moon locking knife technique was fully used, and the blade was directed, and the sergeants of the Yuan army were cut down in batches, and the screams were endless.

A few feet away from Huang Yong's side, Zhou Tai danced a large arc knife in his hand. It's completely a posture of only attacking and not defending, and the moves are all killer moves, and they don't care about their own defense at all. Every time a knife is slashed, it will be accompanied by a tiger roar from Zhou Tai, every knife. are all full of strength, which is diametrically opposed to Huang Yong's elegant and spicy knife skills. But the lethality is not much inferior to Huang Yong. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Yuan soldiers had already died under the big arc knife.

With the rush of Huang Yong and Zhou Tai, the Yan army quickly opened up a world in the city gate, and the Yuan army that killed them was defeated and retreated. Yuan Jun was mostly from Jizhou and Qingzhou, both of which were notoriously wealthy and lived in affluence. Sergeant Yuan Jun has lost the fighting spirit of forgetting life and death; on the other hand, the Yan army is all born in the bitter cold land of the five northern states, and there are many soldiers of different races among them, and their fighting spirit is extremely tenacious. Fight like a wolf and a tiger, all of them are ten with one. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yuan Jun was no match for Yan Jun.

When the Luan bell rang, Zuo Ci flew his horse and shouted loudly to the Yan army who was blocking the city gate: "Get out of the way!" The Yan army, who couldn't squeeze into the city, turned around and saw that it was Zuo Ci, and hurriedly avoided both sides, making way for a road that was only for one rider. Zuo Ci rode his horse along this road and rushed to the city, and at the same time said loudly to the Yan army on both sides: "A group of ten, enter the city in batches!"

After Zuo Ci rushed into the city gate, the Yan army outside the city immediately adjusted its formation, and according to Zuo Ci's order, ten people formed a group and entered the city gate in a clear layer, and the congestion disappeared immediately, allowing the Yan army to enter the city smoothly to participate in the battle.

When he came to the city gate, Zuo Ci saw that Huang Yong and Zhou Tai were showing their might, and he was naturally unwilling, so he rushed towards Huang Yong's left side with a spear. Although Zuo Ci has an impatient temperament and is a pioneer in a hurry, his observation of the battlefield situation is very clear. The direction of Zuo Ci's rush can just form an inverted triangle with Huang Yong and Zhou Tai, with the main general Huang Yong as the apex, effectively restraining Yuan Jun's counterattack. At this time, the benefits of Yuan Qi forcibly letting his subordinates practice the thirteen chapters of Guigu were reflected, otherwise, with Zuo Ci's reckless and impulsive character, he would not take the initiative to observe the situation at all, and it would definitely be a burst of chaos and killing.

The narrow city gate cave has become the second battlefield for the soldiers of both sides, and the fierceness of the battle is not much worse than the battle on the city wall. Because of the narrow terrain, neither side can invest too many troops, even so, the people on both sides have already crowded the city gate hole, let alone turn around, even if it is a little difficult to swing a knife, it is only near the inverted triangle formed by Huang Yong and the other three people, can barely move freely.

On the outer wall, looking at the fighting under the inner city, Yuan Qi thought for a while, and then said: "Come on, go and inform Zhang Long, besiege the gates of the inner city, but if Yuan Jun intends to go out of the city, shoot him immediately! Xu Xuan, you take 20,000 troops and go to several gates in the inner city to set up defenses, and form a flank attack with Zhang Long, don't let Yuan Ding go! Lao Hei, you take the two thousand days returning army brothers to stay behind to protect Kong Ming and them." Ma Yue, Laohu, and Wen Chang, go into the city with a certain killing! Gong Jin, the task of guarding the prisoners of the surrendered army and capturing the materials will be handed over to you!"

Under the promise of everyone in unison, Ma Yue, Xu Chu and Wei Yan and more than a dozen deputy generals hugged Yuan Qi and walked down the city.

Yuan Qi shook his cloak, turned over and jumped on the back of the Qilin's horse, stretched out his hand to take the mixed yuan halberd, pointed in the direction of the inner city, and shouted: "Kill into the city, kill Yuan Ding!" The 18,000 elites of the Heavenly Return Army, together with 20,000 Earth Return Warriors, shouted loudly: "Kill into the city, kill Yuan Ding!"

The shouts of nearly 40,000 warriors showed the high fighting spirit in their hearts, and then, under the leadership of Yuan Qi, they raised their weapons and rode towards the gates of the inner city. As long as Huang Yong and the others repelled the Yuan army guarding the cave in the city gate, they would drive straight into the city and fight to the death with the Yuan army in the city!

After Yuan Qi left the city, Zhou Yu silently spread out the map, carefully looked at the structure of the inner city for a while, and then turned his head to call Xu Sheng and Chen Wu, and said in a low voice: "King Yan is reluctant to send our Jiangdong disciples to the battlefield, but we can't repay the favor. Now is the time for us to repay the favor, the houses and buildings in the city are staggered, very mixed, not suitable for cavalry charges, I am afraid that Yuan Ding will launch a street battle. Most of King Yan's subordinates are cavalry, and I am afraid that they will not be able to exert full combat effectiveness. The two of you each led 5,000 foot soldiers into the city, and then the troops were divided into two routes, together with the two generals Xingba and Zhang Chong, to help King Yan. ā€

Xu Sheng and Chen Wu glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Don't worry, the two of us will go." With that, the two turned around side by side. A moment later, they appeared under the walls of the inner city, directing their troops to climb up the ladder.

Under the charge of the three generals Huang Yong, Zuo Ci and Zhou Tai, the Yuan army, which was not led by the generals, was quickly defeated and forced to hand over control of the city gate. Huang Yong made a color to Zuo Ci and Zhou Tai, and the three of them divided into three directions, each leading thousands of Yan troops to kill in the city.

Not long after the three of them left the city gate cave, Yuan Qi's figure appeared in the city gate cave, and he said loudly to Wei Yan: "Bring 10,000 land Gui Lishi to support General Huang, if the old general has a little accident, this king will ask you!" Huang Yong is Yuan Qi's favorite general, the older he is, the older he is, Yuan Qi doesn't want to see him make any mistakes, so he aggravated his tone and ordered Wei Yan in the tone of King Yan. Wei Yan didn't dare to slack off, responded loudly, and then immediately led his troops to chase after him.

"Ma Yue, you go to support Zuo Ci. Yuan Qi continued to shout: "Tiger, come with so-and-so, let's go to support Youping." At this moment, the 38,000 elites were divided into three, presenting a second triangle, each superimposed towards the first triangle of Huang Yong's three divisions in front of him.

In Xinhe City, Yuan Ding, as Zhou Yu expected, scattered most of his troops into various alleys, wanting to rely on his geographical advantage to give the Yan army a head-on blow. Only a small part of Yuan Jun, as Yuan Ding's personal guards, was left behind, guarding Yuan Ding's side, and hiding with Yuan Ding in the largest alley in the city.

Initiating a street battle is also Yuan Ding's forced decision, this is no way to do it, Yuan Ding didn't expect Gan Jing and Zhang Chong to be so brave, they could forcibly conquer the inner city in a short period of time, causing Yuan Ding to not even have time to escape, the outer city was given to Yuan Qi by Yuan Ding, I thought it was a wonderful move, which could restrain the two major killing weapons of the red-clothed ballista and the heavenly maiden scattered flowers, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating in the end, turning myself into a turtle in the urn. Now even if Yuan Ding wants to escape, I'm afraid he won't be able to break through the condescending Zhang Long in the outer city.

Since there was no way out, Yuan Ding could only make a heart and fight to the death with Yuan Qi.
