Since the beginning of the war, although only four teams of armored soldiers have entered the battle, it has been the most advanced attack on the city in the past month.
Therefore, whether it was the two hundred soldiers fighting on the top of the city, or the military officials below the city, they were also in a raging mood, knowing that the key to this battle was to be able to quickly climb the tower to support the front army.
As a result, Dian Wei, who had been leading the troops to observe, could no longer stand still. He shouted:
"It's now time to make great achievements. Come with me to the city."
After saying that, Dian Wei, who had already been dressed in iron armor, was the first to get into the nest car next to him, and stepped onto the platform along the ladder inside.
Behind him was another group of fifty armored soldiers, following Dian Wei.
In fact, Dian Wei was already the right general of the Hengliang Team under Zhang Chong's tent at this time, and he also had a group of officers and soldiers of the Hengliang Team under his command. Each of them is equivalent to the first level of a team general, and they are really not suitable for use in this kind of hand-to-hand combat.
But things have to be looked at from two sides. It is precisely because Dian Wei is leading a cross-border officer who can be an officer, so he has enough courage and skills to take up this position.
The so-called good steel is used on the blade, and now it is the blade.
Dian Wei's bear-like body jumped up to the top of the city like an ape. At this time, the previous pioneers had already rushed fifty steps away and squeezed the Han army there.
Everyone who has entered the imperial examination has a great axe, and they are all warriors selected by the whole army, so they are naturally very brave. But the Han army was not a lamb to be slaughtered. When they found that the people on the city were all soldiers with short soldiers, they immediately reorganized their arrangements.
They replaced all the people in the front row with spearmen, and they pressed down very low, specifically bending down to pick the knees of the Taishan Army soldiers.
Then there was a meal of replenishing soldiers at the back. Whenever a Taishan Army soldier was knocked to the ground and dragged into the formation by Ge Gou, they used short soldiers to stab the Taishan Army along the gaps in the armor.
They even lost a group of archers, not shooting at the city head, but at the nest car that had opened the hole, obviously to cut off the Taishan Army's reinforcements.
This kind of tactical coordination was obviously not the result of the Han army, but the work of the Northern soldiers brought into the city by Tian Kai.
These northern soldiers were not only good at field battles, they were also so organized in defending the city. They were indeed the pillars of the Han court in northern Xinjiang.
The Han army's adjustments to defensive tactics soon brought huge trouble to the Taishan army.
From time to time, a soldier would be dragged away by the sword below without paying attention, and then his life would be ended with a scream.
Just when the battle situation was unfavorable, Dian Wei came up with fifty ramsmen.
As soon as the Dianwei man landed, he saw the anxious figure fifty steps away, so he exerted force on his feet and ran forward. At the same time, he drew out his short halberd from behind and threw it at a man who looked like a Han military officer.
The man was all focused on the front, but he didn't see the halberd. His eyes were directly poked out by this hand halberd, and even the helmet that was blocking it couldn't protect him.
The Han official who was killed was obviously the core figure of this Han army. As soon as he died, the formation relaxed at the sight of him.
Dian Wei seized this change, accelerated, and crashed into the Han army on the opposite side with a groan.
This wild boar ramming move is Dian Wei's usual technique for breaking formations. With the invincible strength of a bear and the armor that covers his whole body, he can break everything he hits.
Dian Wei was leading the group with three weak Han soldiers and spearmen. They had no time to make a move before Dian Wei broke through and got inside. Then he was hit by Dian Wei. One of them was hit so hard that he vomited blood and flew backwards. go out.
The other two were not much better, they all staggered back and sat on the ground in a daze.
Dian Wei knocked down the Han soldiers' formation and swung the Huanshou sword in his hand, quickly killing the Han soldiers in this line.
However, several of the Han army's short-range soldiers in the back were from the Northern Army. Even though they were frightened by the thieves, they still gritted their teeth and killed them.
Dian Wei kicked a person with his right foot, knocking him far away. Then he took out the Iron Bone Flower from his waist, ducked slightly to avoid the knife from the other side, then suddenly accelerated his hand, and smashed the Iron Bone Flower, which weighed no more than three kilograms, onto the opposite side's face.
The opponent's entire face was shattered by this blow, and his eyes and bloody teeth were splashed all over the floor.
Dian Wei's killing was so brutal that he directly killed the remaining courage of the Han army on the opposite side.
They no longer wanted to face such ghostly figures at the top of the city, so they all jumped off the top of the city crying.
Yes, they just jumped off the city wall.
Many people broke their legs directly, and the stubble on the bones was exposed. But more of them jumped onto the haystacks behind the city wall, and then fled toward the inner city lamely.
Don't look at these people as if they are stupid and want to pick a city. But in fact, they are the ones with the survival instinct.
With the collapse of Han formations on the city walls, organized resistance had disappeared. At this time, all the defeated troops rushed towards the galloping road like a tide, preparing to go directly to the city from here.
But there were too many people, and the wolf-like Taishan Army was chasing behind them, and the horse racing track was a sloping downward slope, which was specially used by the horse soldiers to run their horses into the city.
This kind of downward slope is the easiest place to fall. He couldn't see from the front, and someone pushed him from behind, so he stumbled to the ground. And once you fall down, you can never get out again.
Once people started to be trampled to death, the people nearby began to panic, and they all tried their best to push forward. Just like that, the chaos began to intensify, and a serious stampede occurred in front of Dian Wei and others.
Dian Wei had never seen such a tragic scene.
How many people were pressed down by the crowd and struggled to squeeze out their heads. Just as they were about to take a few breaths of air, their faces turned blue. Apparently, the squeeze from below had burst their chests.
None of the riders behind Dian Wei were murderous, but they stopped when they saw the fragility and tragedy of life.
They didn't dare to step on it. They were already covered in iron armor. If they got stuck in it, they would definitely die.
But what about the army outside the city waiting for them to go down and open the city gate?
Just when he was in a dilemma, Chang Diao in the crowd had the quick wit and shouted:
"There is a hemp rope here, let's lower it."
After saying that, he began to tie the hemp rope to the battlements.
Others woke up and helped tie the rope.
In this way, five ropes were soon thrown to the bottom of the city. Dian Wei led Chang Diao and others, and the first rope was lowered to the top of the city.
At this time, there was a chaos under the city wall. There was a wave of Han soldiers stationed under the city wall, but they disappeared.
Because of the battlefield perspective, Dian Wei did not realize that Tian Kai, who was originally stationed at the top of the city, had ordered the abandonment of the outer city and then retreated to the inner city with his elite troops.
There, the Han army could still defend the inner city. And at that time, the Taishan bandit's giant nest car had no use.
So for Tian Kai, the real battle begins there.
But Dian Wei didn't know this. He took Chang Diao and other five people to first remove the corpses of the Han soldiers who died on the city gate road, and then pushed open the city gate behind them.
Outside, the Feilong Army and the Feihu Army, two thousand-man cavalry soldiers who had been ready to go, rushed into the city with flags flying as soon as the south gate of the city opened.
Because Dian Wei and the others had already cleared the horse racing track, Li Hu and Xu Huang rushed very fast.
Tian Kai's plan was not wrong, but he obviously misjudged the Taishan Army's fighting style of moving troops like fire. The result of this was that less than 400 defeated troops followed him into the inner city, and even Sun Jin, the real orderer, was not able to enter the city.
When the war started, Sun Jin was patrolling the streets with a wave of patrol soldiers and organized the people to bring food and water to the city. But he didn't expect the city wall to be lost so quickly. When the outside shouted that the city was destroyed, the patrol soldiers around Sun Jin dispersed in a hurry.
Although Sun Jin was a tough and upright scholar-bureaucrat, he was old and frail and lacked the power to restrain a chicken. The building was about to collapse, and he also wanted to have the courage to turn the tide.
But no matter how good the idea is, so what?
In the end, he could only be swept backward by the surging countercurrent and collapsed, and he could only scream in his heart:
"I am the one who is useless!"
But soon, Sun Jin was recognized.
The person who recognized him was none other than Changshan Marshal Sun Qing, who had newly defected to the Taishan Army.
This man is swift and brave, walking in the mountains as if he were walking on flat ground. He prides himself on being a hero, and has been trying to find ways to make contributions since he defected to the Taishan Army.
But it is a pity that the Taishan Army is now the king of the establishment and has established rules for everything it does. Promotions in the military are no longer as rapid as in the past.
Therefore, if Sun Qing wants to ascend, he must achieve great achievements.
And just when Sun Qing entered the city and thought about how to make great achievements, he saw Sun Jin.
Fortunately, Sun Qing actually knew Sun Jin. This is not to say that both of them have the surname Sun and are from the same family. But when Sun Jin took office, he, Sun Qing, actually had an idea of this person.
At that time, the Taishan army had just captured Xiangguo, and Sun Qing wanted to go south and seek refuge. But he felt that he was afraid of being looked down upon if he defected like this, so he wanted to give Taishan Army a big gift.
At that time, when he heard that Zhending Ling was about to take office, he wanted to rob him. But who could have imagined that there was also a team of archers escorting Sun Jin to his post, and Sun Qing and the others were defeated with just one wave of arrows.
Yellow Turbans like Sun Qing, although they are called Yellow Turbans, are actually top-notch bandits. They are good at fighting with knives and bleeding, but they are most afraid of arrows, because they are poor soldiers without armor, and they are sure to die under arrows.
They all felt that they were good men and did not want to die in such a painful way.
Then they dispersed.
And without Sun Jin's great gift, Sun Qing was too embarrassed to go south and defect.
But somehow, after going round and round, he actually still saw you in the crowd.
Fate, wonderful beyond words.
Sun Qing grabbed Sun Jin with joy and smiled cruelly:
"Are you the real order?"
If you are an ordinary person, you may not admit it because of luck. But Sun Jin was not. Not only did he admit it, he also handed the seal in his sleeve to Sun Qing and said proudly:
"Yes, this order is the real defender of the city..."
Sun Jin couldn't finish the rest of the words, and then he was punched by Sun Qing.
Sun Qing muttered while beating him:
"You look down on me, huh? Don't you..."
When Sun Qing and Sun Jin were about to leave the city and prepare to be escorted to the camp outside the city to present to Zhang Chong. He met a general on the road, Chang Xi, a subordinate of the Central Guard Army.
At this time, Chang Xi had several heads pinned to his waist, and was followed by more than forty arrogant and powerful generals, who were murderously preparing to pursue him along the straight road.
In a hurry, he saw Sun Qing and his group holding down a boy with a bruised nose and face. Chang Xi yelled:
"Which movie are you from?"
Sun Qing and the others had just joined the Yellow Turban Army. They didn't even have complete clothes at first, but the Taishan Army sent them a set of clothes.
But because Sun Qing's army has not yet been reorganized, there are no military uniforms, but fortunately there is still a yellow scarf. And if it weren't for the yellow scarf, they would have been hacked to death by Chang Xi.
Chang Xi returned to the Taishan Army in the same wave as Yu Jin, but why is there such a big gap between him and Yu Jin now? Yu Jin had already become the marshal of an army, while Chang Xi was still a general with 400 men.
In addition to the ambiguous attitude of Chang Xi during the battle in Xingyang and the sniper attack on Youzhou's sudden cavalry, the more important point is that this person is too greedy for credit and often competes with his friends for credit.
Obviously, after Chang Xi saw Sun Qing, he subconsciously looked at the doctorate scholar, thinking that this person should be something special.
Sun Qing was also shocked when he was stopped by Chang Xi. He is not a lonely ghost. He is also a member of the Yellow Turban system. Although he is relatively peripheral, he still knows many people.
He had met this person when he first joined the Taishan Army. At that time, his friends beside him secretly reminded him to stay away from this person, he was very vicious.
At this time, Sun Qing looked at Chang Xi and his eyes kept drifting to Sun Jin behind him, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Just when he was organizing his words to deal with this person, Chang Xi had already pulled him aside and walked straight towards Sun Jin.
Sun Qing was anxious. He knew that Sun Jin was a fool. As long as Chang Xi asked, this person would tell the truth.
Just when Sun Qing was about to fly away after seeing his miraculous feat, he suddenly saw a "flying dragon" flag and a group of Puma soldiers galloping from the front.
Sun Qing immediately realized the turning point and rushed to the side of the road, shouting:
"I have great achievements to dedicate to the general."
Sun Qing was so reckless that he almost got whipped.
In such a situation where a galloping horse is directly collided with, a beating from the guards on the left and right will be light.
But Li Hu, who was riding a flying dragon, stopped the soldiers who were about to beat him up. He recognized Sun Qing and knew that this person was the local commander who had just defected to him, so he frowned and said:
"What's your merit?"
At this time, how could Chang Xi behind not understand this? His entire face turned red with anger. He pushed Sun Qing over with his kick, and then left in despair with his soldiers.
Chang Xi didn't dare to fight with Li Hu, so he could only leave. But Chang Xi finally remembered this grudge.
Walking towards Changxi, Li Hu was thoughtful and immediately looked at Sun Qing expectantly.
Later, Sun Qing dedicated Sun Jin to Li Hu.
Li Hu was overjoyed. He was indeed lucky.
But he did not dare to send it himself, for fear that the king would think that he was delaying the war for merit. He had heard about something. During the battle to encircle and annihilate the Julu Army in Handan, Guo Song had captured a senior military official, so he took his people back to the Chinese Army to ask for credit, and he was almost punished.
Li Hu thought for a while and asked his general Li Bao to take Sun Jin to the camp to report his merits, but he still had to go to the front to preside over the war.
Then Li Hu looked at Sun Qing below with a smile:
"Sun Xiaoshuai, would you like to chase the defeated soldiers with me?"
Why did Sun Qing not understand what Li Hu meant? He could only look at Sun Jin with pity and distress, then he cupped his fists and said to Li Hu:
"Dare you disobey me!"
