0502, a decisive battle of life and death
A person who can command an army of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, cannot be a fool.
Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, is not a fool, and Ma Shouying is not a fool.
According to common sense, more than 4,000 people attacked the city, which basically means that the city is occupied.
But the strange thing is that after all the people who climbed the city entered, the entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound at all.
Are more than 4,000 people gone?
The expected shouting and killing did not appear, and the old man returned to Ma Shouying for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious:
"Eight kings, there must be something wrong here. The besieging troops did not move, and the hundreds of people who had lurked in the previous two days did not set fire to the city as agreed, let alone storm the city gate from the inside. Hurry up and withdraw the troops, otherwise it will be too late. ”
Zhang Xianzhong clenched his teeth: "I didn't see the enemy counterattack, could it be that Lao Tzu's 4,000 people just disappeared? If you don't make a name for yourself today, this city will never be able to be breached in the future." ”
"Boss and second, you each organize a team of 10,000 people to climb the city along the west wall, and you must find out what is going on inside! The third leader leads two thousand cavalry and prepares to storm the city gate!"
The eldest child, the second child, and the third child are Zhang Xianzhong's three godsons: Zhang Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi.
Xiong Chu stood alone at the entrance of the city gate, watching coldly as the enemy on the opposite side began to divide his troops.
In less than half an hour, two huge infantry phalanxes appeared in sight, and the neat footsteps began to cause the earth to shake, and the whole land was filled with a solemn aura, which was the deterrent power of the army.
Even though Xiong Chu had experienced all kinds of life-and-death battle scenes, and his tenacity was extraordinary, but now he saw two large phalanxes, one south and one north, coming out at the same time, as if an unstoppable torrent was pressing towards the city wall, he still felt a tightness in his chest.
As a group of thousands of cavalry appeared in the middle, thousands of horse chopping knives glistened in the early spring sun, and the horses' hooves stepped on the unique step points towards the city gate hole, and the monstrous murderous aura made people shudder.
The bear prince knew that the time for the final battle had finally arrived.
Whether it's called a ruined boat or a desperate gamble, it's time to fight to the death at the end anyway.
Either you die or I die, this is the true meaning of war.
Woo woo woo - woo woo -
The low horn sounded again, and this was the sound of the horn.
Now there is no point in staying in the city gate to monitor the enemy, Xiong Chu shook his arms, his body was already flying, and then as soon as he borrowed strength from the city wall, he had already reached the top of the city tower.
Yan Erniang and Mandeli flew up almost in order, and while rushing towards the city gate tower, they made way of the passage connecting the city gate hole, and the entire street was already empty.
"All the officers and men in the city are in place and carrying out their respective combat missions according to the original plan. This is the dying throes of the enemy, and the final victory will always be ours!"
Prince Xiong came directly to the top of the city gate, which was the commanding height of the whole city, and then lifted the internal force of his whole body to transmit his orders to all sides, and it was also the last psychological deterrent to the enemies besieging the city.
Kill-rush--
The shouts of tens of thousands of people erupted at the same time, and the entire central capital Fengyang City was shaken.
The final Armageddon begins!
The infantry phalanxes on the north and south sides took out all the ladders this time, and hundreds of bamboo ladders set up the city wall, and there were nearly a thousand people who came up at a time, and the follow-up troops were all swarming up.
Xiong Chu looked down condescendingly, and the enemy surged forward like ants.
Tom - Tom Tom -
With the first sound of cannons, hundreds of tiger squat cannons roared continuously, and Xiong Chu's first killer weapon finally showed its hideous face, and the enemy's infantry follow-up troops who were rushing towards the city wall fell in pieces under the bombardment of more than four hundred tiger squat cannons.
It turned out that digging a trench in the ground inside the city wall was not the initial decision.
The first killer weapon that Xiong Chu prepared for the enemy was to concentrate 480 tiger squat cannons, because they could not be placed on the city wall, so all of them were dug and ambushed under the city wall, specifically to attack the follow-up troops of the enemy's large-scale siege of the city.
After digging the holes, the bear store had an idea, connected all the holes, and then turned them into a hanging ditch parallel to the city wall.
The enemy's first round of tentative siege of the city never exposed the tiger squat cannon under the city wall.
Now that the enemy has dispatched 20,000 men at a time, the battle has reached its final moment, and the Tiger Squat Cannon has finally shown its might to the enemy.
The Tiger Squat Cannon cut off the follow-up strength of the climbing troops, and the enemy who was the first to climb the city wall became rootless water, and the difficulty of defense was reduced to a minimum.
It was only then that the enemy understood the fate of his previous 4,000-odd men.
More than 4,000 people were killed silently, and this psychological shadow could not be removed, thus affecting the final determination to fight.
As the tiger squat cannon took turns firing, the enemy climbing the city also became intermittent, although hundreds of ladder officers and soldiers could not take care of it, but because the city wall was too high, the enemy barely jumped down and basically lost its combat effectiveness.
Kill -
Zhang Xianzhong's third godson, Ai Nengqi, waved the broadsword in his hand and roared angrily, and the two thousand cavalry finally launched the first and last decisive charge towards the city gate.
Xiong Chu looked coldly at the enemy cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let half of the enemy in, you must listen to my orders!"
The first group of cavalry of more than 50 people had already rushed into the city gate hole, the second group of cavalry rushed in close after a distance of ten zhang from a distance of ten zhang, and then the third and fourth groups.
The cavalry that rushed through the gate hole did not meet a blow, and there were not half a person on the street, as if it were a dead city.
Once the cavalry charged, the vanguard was already helpless, because the large army behind would come up, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to rush in the street where there were no people.
"Lanyard!"
With a coquettish clatter, more than twenty tripwires suddenly bounced out of the dirt on the deserted streets.
Puff-pop-
The fifty war horses that rushed to the front were immediately tripped over, but the inertia generated by the huge impact force made the fallen horses begin to roll forward, and the riders on the back of the horses had already been crushed into pulp.
More than fifty war horses rolled on the ground, turning into the second batch of tripwires rushing over, and then more and more war horses rolled.
It turned out that the second killer weapon prepared by Xiong Chu was to let the officials and soldiers transfer all the residents on both sides of the street connecting the West Gate overnight, and promised to fully compensate for the losses caused by the war.
Chang Delin and Tang Da led all the soldiers to hide in the room, and a total of fifty tripwires were set up here, as well as a large number of fierce fire oil, firewood and grass and other fire-starting things, and the commander-in-chief was Mo Jiuniang.
If the enemy used infantry to storm the city gate, Mo Jiuniang ordered Chang Delin and Tang Da to set fire. Burning a street and burying the enemies who entered the city is the "Battle for the Broken City" designed by the Xiong Prince.
This is a decisive battle for life and death, and all the strategies formulated by Prince Xiong according to the thinking logic of a killer are all desperate plans.
The meaning of the killer's desperate plan is: Lao Tzu can't live, and you don't want to live either!
The officials of the imperial court did not dare to use this kind of desperate plan, because they did not dare to bear the consequences of burning the city.
Now the enemy uses cavalry to charge the city, of course, it is to stumble and take the lead, first to give the enemy a dismount. Then hide in the room and pick up the enemy with a bow and arrow.
Xiong Chu was condescending from the city tower, observing the enemies rushing in from outside the city on the one hand, and Mo Jiuniang on the other hand, observing the maximum pressure on Mo Jiuniang.
To talk about nervousness, now the whole city is starting to get nervous, tens of thousands of enemies are attacking the city at the same time, it is impossible to say that you are not nervous.
But Xiong Chu is not nervous at all, and when things have completely exploded, he is no longer nervous as a killer.
When the killer is nervous, it's when things haven't started yet.
Now that it's already started, it's about killing or being killed, and it has nothing to do with tension at all.
Yan Erniang stood beside Xiong Chu, that is, on the roof of the city gate, and kept staring at the commander of the enemy's cavalry: "Xianggong, that Ai Nengqi never came in, what should I do?"
Xiong Chu shook his head with some regret: "It seems that it is impossible to catch a big fish, the enemy's cavalry has already rushed in six hundred people, and if there are more, Jiuniang and they will not be able to suppress it." ”
"Dai Li, seal the city gate hole with Xuan Bing Beads!" The White Phoenix Guards, shoot all the five thunder fire bullets in their hands at the cavalry outside the city!"
Tu Poor Dagger saw that the last killer weapon of the Xiong Chu finally revealed his true face, which was his last hole card to deter the enemy, and it was also the basis for him to dare to open the city gate.
Xuan Bing Beads, only the core figures in the Xiong Family Army, it just so happened that all the people who followed Xiong Chu this time were core figures, so everyone had seventy-two Xuan Bing Beads on their bodies.
Xiong Chu's Xuan Bing Beads have been used up in Guojiazhai, and now they are using the spare parts of the members of the White Phoenix Guard.
It didn't take much to seal the west city gate, Prince Xiong gave an order, Mandeli raised her hands, and twenty-four Xuan Ice Beads had already shot into the city gate hole, and the more than ten war horses inside instantly turned into ice sculptures, and the passage into the city was blocked.
Woo Blah - Blah bla
The twelve female members of the White Phoenix Guard, all of whom have strong internal strength, responded with five thunder fire bombs in their hands, and the target was Zhang Xianzhong's third godson, Ai Nengqi.
Bang -
Within a range of thirty zhang in length and fifteen zhang in width, a sudden fire broke out, and the passage outside the west gate was cut off, so that the enemy could no longer know what was really going on inside the city.
Five Thunder Fire Bombs, this is the thing of the Vulcan Sect that shocks the rivers and lakes. Although it cannot be used on a large area of the battlefield, it is now used to seal a city gate, which is just right.
The fire was together, whether it was the enemy who rushed to the city in front, or Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Hui Ma Shouying, who were supervising the formation behind, they immediately thought of the monstrous fire that had been ignited twice in a row before.
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
When the old man returned to Ma Shouying, he saw that there was another fire outside the city gate, and suddenly howled bitterly: "Mingjin retreats! Mingjin retreats!"
Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to give up just like that, but another phenomenon that broke his heart and soul happened.
The five thunder fire bombs exploded and caught fire, and once the splashed sparks touched something, they could no longer be extinguished.
The female members of the White Phoenix Guard, who are all at the top level of masters in the rivers and lakes, the five thunder fire bullets they shot condescendingly, of course, were not fired indiscriminately, but towards the cavalry's war horses.
Each of the twelve members of the team fired twenty-four fire bullets, which of course two hundred and eighty-eight horses were on fire.
It is impossible for a war horse to be burned all at once, so it will run around, and as a result, it will create another source of fire wherever it goes.
What made Zhang Xianzhong and the others heartbroken was that they saw with their own eyes that the war horse was first burned out of a hole, and then the hole became bigger and bigger, and finally the war horse fell to the ground and died.
It's demon fire!
The homeless people have no knowledge, and they are not martial arts masters, so they don't know that there was once a Vulcan sect on the rivers and lakes, and of course they don't know the Five Thunder Fire Bombs.
The demon fire could not be restrained, and Zhang Xianzhong immediately turned his horse and left.
Hula, the besieging troops retreated like a tide.
The bear prince flew down from the city tower, and with a wave of his palms, more than a dozen war horses that had been frozen into ice in the city gate cave were suddenly shattered, and the passage was opened again.
Then with a roar, the Hulei Leopard rushed from the barracks on the right side of the city gate, and the Xiong Chu turned over and yelled: "The whole army will attack, kill the enemy with me!"
