Chapter 515 City Fall and Choice
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The dense arrows were shot out, but they were not directed at the Jin army outside the city, but at the stone army fighting with them.
"Rebellion, damn it! Kill them all." A heavily armored warrior rushed into the crowd of stone soldiers, slashing left and right with a thick-backed machete, cutting the stone soldiers into panic.
Several boy servants followed him closely with large shields and spears, blocking the left and right, striking horizontally and vertically, quite methodically.
Although there were only six or seven people, they defeated the stone soldiers on the opposite side.
Obviously, this kind of group combat cooperation is something they practice frequently, and they use it with ease and amazing power.
“Kill the thief!” Behind the heavily armored warrior, hundreds of people surged up the narrow street, and the crowd was furious.
The "thieves" killed before were Jin thieves, but now the "thieves" killed are Han thieves. The meaning has changed significantly.
But they are too lazy to distinguish.
In the past, it was often said that soldiers serving as generals was an important sign of warlordism, but in an era when Wubao manors were everywhere, this was simply commonplace.
Not only did the soldiers have personal dependencies, but their whole family also had personal dependencies, and they even had dependencies for several generations.
In their eyes, there is no emperor, no court, no governor, no governor, only the head of the family. Whoever the head of the family asks to be beaten will be beaten without hesitation or hesitation.
Therefore, during the mutiny, they took action as soon as they were told. They rushed to the street and launched a surprise attack on the stone soldiers.
But the strange thing is that they did not intend to surrender to the Jin army. No one was even sent to open the city gate. Instead, they fought with the stone soldiers.
When Ji Bao rushed to the south gate with more than a thousand people, his own soldiers had completely retreated and rushed back noisily.
“Shoot!” A dense barrage of arrows flew down the narrow street, and the fleeing stone soldiers fell to the ground one after another, screaming miserably.
"Ji Bao, you must die a good death!"
"You deserve to die if you kill one of your own people."
"Brother-in-law, I am Xiaoliu, don't Shoot.”
Ji Bao remained unmoved and continued to order the arrows to be fired.
In an instant, hundreds of stone soldiers who had fled had been slaughtered.
Pikemen and sword and shield bearers came out in greater numbers and fought against the rebellious Wubao soldiers.
The blood flowed gurglingly, quickly filling the pits and ruts on the bluestone, and then gathered into a stream.
In the private rooms on both sides of the street, the old, weak, women and children were trembling. They piled all the movable things in the house behind the doors and windows, and then used their strength to hold them back to prevent the defeated soldiers from rushing in or being killed. The robbery of the red-eyed warrior.
What happens in the city cannot be hidden from the outside.
More than two thousand Xuchang soldiers had just finished resting and were preparing to launch the first wave of offensive after nightfall, but they could not wait for a long time for the sound of the drum to advance.
At this time, more than a thousand Silver Spear Army soldiers pushed ladder carts and carried long ladders, quickly passed them and came to the base of the city wall.
There were only a few soldiers left behind at the top of the city. After seeing them, they shouted and warned repeatedly. But for a while no one came to reinforce them, they were all fighting each other.
Someone stuck his head out of the parapet and bumped into a man who had climbed to the top of the long ladder and was holding a steel knife.
The fighting started immediately, and screams pierced the night sky.
"Boom!" A ladder truck came to the city.
The flying ladder was quickly pushed out, and the grappling hook at the front was firmly hooked on the city wall.
One after another, the Silver Spear Army warriors got out of the ladder truck, stepped on the flying ladder, and rushed to the top of the city.
A few dozen guards on the south wall resisted for a while, but soon collapsed crying for their fathers and mothers.
When the Silver Spear Army caught up with Ma Daokou, they formed a formation and moved outward to welcome more people to the top of the city.
In just a moment, no fewer than three hundred warriors swarmed up the southern city wall.
“Kill the thieves!” The Silver Spear Army warriors lined up in a row, with their big shields in front and their spears at the back. Others stood high on the city wall, picking up bows and arrows, and shooting into the city.
The enemy army, which had just escaped from the melee and was in a state of confusion, was inevitably collapsed after being dealt with in this way.
They were scurrying around like ants on a hot pot, shouting and completely losing their minds.
Jibao waved his saber and shouted loudly in the crowd, calling on everyone to move closer to him.
No one listened.
Once a person loses his mind, his fear will be infinitely amplified, and he will become hysterical and shout. And you will find strangely that his strength is so amazing that you can't stop him and you have to let him vent. After that, it is possible to calm down.
This is the bombing of the camp, what General Kulai is most worried about.
Jibao's soldiers were also disrupted.
They were crooked and untenable, so they could only protect the general and escape.
"Creak-" The city gate was opened by someone unknown.
More than a thousand silver spear troops took the lead again, followed by more than two thousand soldiers from Xuchang, fighting in from the south gate.
They lined up in neat queues and entered the wall.
Everywhere he passed, the sound of "Puff" kept making, like a ruthless killing machine.
The enemy soldiers ran around and bumped into them, and they directly lined up their guns to wait on them.
The enemy soldiers fled backwards, but they were not in a hurry. After catching up at a constant pace, they stabbed them with their spears.
Not long after, shouts of killing also rang out from the east of the city.
The first team composed of the Tuntian Army and the Fubing Tribe attacked the city, killed the enemy soldiers step by step, and then opened the city gate.
The Silver Spear Army and the Tuntian Army swarmed in, facing each other from east to west, attacking from both sides. In Anyang, there is no possibility of a comeback.
******
A fierce battle was actually fought in the north of the city, but it was not located at the head of the city, but in the area of Anyang Bridge.
An enemy cavalry unit hurriedly arrived.
They did not come to reinforce Anyang, and it was difficult to enter the city across the Huan River. Their arrival is more of a psychological rescue, that is, letting the defenders know that they are not alone and strengthening their determination to defend to the end.
In addition, one of their roles was to find shallow water to ford, and to use the mobility of the cavalry to repeatedly harass the Jin army on the periphery, so that they could not confidently and boldly attack the city with all their strength.
But it seems to have come a little late. Within ten days, Anyang looked crumbling, which was quite surprising.
In the darkness of the night, the commander observed for a long time, and then listened to the movements inside and outside Anyang City, and then remained silent for a long time.
At the time of Xu, he made up his mind, resolutely ordered the cavalry to dismount, selected 500 people, and launched an attack on the 500 Jin soldiers stationed in the north of Anyang Bridge.
Hundreds of riders followed, ready to launch a frontal charge.
Not long after the battle, there was a loud killing sound in the north of Anyang Bridge.
In the blazing fire, the figure of the long-handled ax flashed and slashed down heavily.
The painful neighing of the war horses pierced the night sky.
After the knight fell to the ground, he was severely slashed by the long knife, and his intestines were immediately gutted.
He screamed in pain and stuffed the intestines that were stained with blood and dust after sliding to the ground into his stomach. After stuffing, he stopped moving.
The hook and sickle spear stretched out from the ground, the galloping horse's legs were restrained, and the knight was thrown away by the inertia.
His riding skills are very good and his movements are very dexterous. He adjusted his posture before flying out, and rolled forward after landing to remove the momentum.
There was a long gun on the ground that someone had abandoned. He immediately picked it up, stepped forward, held the gun, and looked around.
"Hoo!" The long sword slashed down heavily with a whistling sound through the air.
The strength and speed are simply staggering.
"Bang!" The head flew out directly.
The body did not fall down for a moment, and still maintained the action of stepping and holding the gun, but the empty neck seemed to have a fountain, blood spurted out, and after falling to the ground, countless dust was splashed.
The first batch of five hundred enemy soldiers who rushed over have been almost killed.
The soldiers from Luonan counties were surprised to find that the enemy cavalry actually dismounted and fought with them!
Is there such a good thing?
Is there such a fool?
As a result, everyone worked hard and strived to be the first.
They broke out of the trench wall, faced the enemy, and started fighting among men. There were even more men, a fighting group of five people, equipped with spears, rifle bows, long-handled axes, and hooks. Equipped with sickles, spears, swords and shields, they launched an active attack on the enemy on horseback.
Under the night, the sound of killing was like thunder.
In the firelight, blood dripped.
When the enemy soldiers who dismounted first to fight on foot were knocked down like melons and vegetables, the soldiers of the brigade formed a formation and moved forward, like a moving jungle of spears.
“Kill!” Nearly three thousand people roared in unison, with high fighting spirit.
Some of the enemy cavalry had been cut down previously, and the rest were a little timid, so they turned their horses' heads and went to the distance to organize their formation.
“Kill!” The soldiers quickened their pace.
The jungle of spears moved northward little by little, launching a resolute charge.
The enemy cavalry retreated again.
The jungle of spears moves further.
The enemy cavalry retreats again.
Under night, the spectacle of a battle between infantry and cavalry appeared.
Three thousand infantrymen marched forward inexorably.
More than two thousand enemy horses retreated hurriedly. The horses neighed for a while, and the officers were furious.
The sound of "crash" came.
The enemy commander looked for his voice and saw that it was pitch black in the distance and nothing could be seen. There was only the sound of huge splashes on the Huanshui River and occasionally the neighing of war horses.
"Retreat!" He felt a chill in his heart and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
Before leaving, he looked back at Anyang City for the last time.
The shouts of killing at the top of the city were gradually coming to an end, and the sounds of more violent fighting came from inside the city.
He understood that Anyang had entered street fighting and this was the last moment.
The three thousand cavalry he brought could not break through the Jin people's peripheral blockade, could not send a signal to the defenders to hold on, and could not rush into the city and fight with them.
Once Anyang is lost, Yecheng will face the enemy directly.
Fight, stay, or leave, three choices were before Da Hu. Where to go, it’s time to make a decision as soon as possible.
