Chapter 456: Powerless
"Boom..."
The cavalry entered the city with great movement, especially when thousands of cavalry wearing black armor and red tassels whizzed past the wide streets, the vibration caused by the iron hooves hitting the ground made the houses on both sides tremble.
The people hiding in the house were all full of fear and stared at the direction of the gate, fearing that the cavalry outside would suddenly break in.
In troubled times, soldiers are like bandits, and this bloody lesson is still in front of you.
On that day, the Northern Barbarians captured Taiyuan. In just two days, the people in the city were slaughtered. In just two days, the population decreased by one third. It was not until the third day that order was gradually restored, but the people were still robbed and killed from time to time.
Just as the people in the North City were praying for gods and Buddhas at home and praying for protection, Han Wu and two thousand cavalry also arrived at the place where the granary was located - Taiyuan Cang.
As the granary of a government, this place is definitely a major place for the government. Don’t enter the idle people. The entire granary has been built into a tightly defended fort, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
However, at this time, almost all the guards inside were drawn to the top of the city to defend. The remaining people saw that the situation was not good and had no intention of defending. One of them carried a sack of fine grain and flew all over, and they didn't even close the gate.
This saved Han Wu a lot of effort and completely controlled the entire granary without any effort. When they looked at the mountains of grain in the granary, everyone was smiling. As long as they kept here, their mission was completed.
North Gate.
When Han Wu went to the granary, the subsequent infantry continued to gather from both sides.
After entering the city, some continued to move forward, while some rushed up the city wall along the horse paths on both sides of the city gate and launched an attack on the east gate and the north gate.
At the same time, the defenders at the south gate also found that the offensive under the city had suddenly weakened a lot, and the enemy troops that were about to climb to the city were also suppressed. For a moment, the morale was greatly boosted, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a fast horse ran wildly from the city, and immediately a man in a blue military uniform.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the emergency military situation!"
After he jumped off the saddle, he shouted emergency military information while rushing to the top of the city, his knees softened, and he knelt in front of Ling Yue, and said sadly: "Sir, it's not good, the north gate has been broken!"
When Ling Yue and others heard this news, their first reaction was - impossible!
"My sirs, I didn't say anything nonsense. The North Gate was really broken. The team was killed in battle with more than 100 brothers in the corridor. When I was ordered to come and report the news, the cavalry had already entered the city!"
"This is impossible! Why is it broken? How is it broken!"
Ling Yue threw down the double hammers in his hand, grabbed the soldiers who came to report the news with a ferocious face, "Tell me, are you lying about military affairs? I understand, you must be the enemy's detailed work, trying to deceive us and shake the morale of the army. The person who came to pull him down and chop him down!"
"Sir, please spare me. What the villain said is true. I am not a spy. The North Gate has been really broken. The enemy has entered the city. Please spare me-"
No matter how the man begged for mercy and struggled, Ling Yue and others were indifferent, watching him coldly as he was pulled not far away, and cut off his head with a knife.
The man originally planned to report the news to seek rewards, but he never expected that he would lose his life instead.
After a little silence, a middle-aged general wearing iron armor bowed to Ling Yue and said, "Sir, I think no matter whether the news is true or false, I will send someone to take a look for it for safety reasons!"
This statement was quickly approved by others.
"Retreat, the enemy retreats!"
At this moment, cheers came from the top of the city, and the black armored army outside the south gate suddenly retreated like a tide.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, but it's very strange. After hearing the movement, only the enemy troops from the South Gate retreated, and the east Gate and the north Gate were still fighting."
"Do we want to support?"
"Will this be a conspiracy?"
Just when Ling Yue and others were confused and hesitant, the people who came to ask for help from the East Gate and the North Gate arrived here one after another.
When the two people who reported the news said in unison that the enemy attacked the city from the north gate and the war was in a hurry, Ling Yue took several steps back, feeling the darkness in front of him and almost fainted.
"grown ups!"
The people around him hurriedly supported him.
"Hurry, go and support!"
Ling Yue said with a struggle.
"Sir, it's too late. The enemy has entered the city and Taiyuan City is gone!"
The guard general said sadly.
The defenders in the city were originally far fewer than those in the enemy. Now that they have lost the support of the city wall, continuing to fight is just a way to die, and the defeat is now!
"fart."
Ling Yue thrust his waist, pulled out the long sword from hissing, and said, "I swear to live and die with Taiyuan. I will take the holy grace. Today is the time for you to serve your country loyally. I am willing to kill the enemy with you!"
Under Ling Yue's sharp gaze, the generals around him answered in unison: "I'm willing to go!"
Then the troops in the south city were divided into two groups, rushing to support the east and west gates, but in the process, soldiers and lower-level officers continued to slow down and quietly left the team.
When Ling Yue brought his men to the East Gate, the place was almost occupied by the Black Armored Army. Only one young general, with more than a hundred remaining soldiers, was still struggling to resist. The young general who waved his iron spear and carried thousands of troops alone on the top of the city was Ling Yuemei.
At this time, the armor on her body had been stained with blood, her face was covered with blood, and her helmet was shot down, with disheveled hair, and several arrows were inserted on her back. If she hadn't been wearing elite iron armor, she would have been killed by arrows.
"Hurry, go and support!"
Seeing his daughter fighting bloody battles, Ling Yue hurriedly shouted to the people around him.
However, the arrival of reinforcements did not change the trend of the battlefield. As more and more people fell, the morale of the Wei soldiers finally collapsed. They threw away their weapons one by one and fled back frantically. No matter how Ling Yue shouted, it would be useless.
The cold reality made him deeply feel what it means to kill the enemy and be powerless to turn the world back.
In front, Ling Yuemei was also determined to retreat at this time. She crossed the iron spear in her hand, blocked the long sword that was slashed in front, and then pushed the five or six soldiers to the ground with force.
Randomly twisted his waist, turned around and five fingers were hooked, holding the shoulder of a soldier who was about to escape, pulled and lifted his backhand, and threw the man directly at the Black Armored Army soldier who was about to pounce on him, temporarily blocking it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Yuemei jumped, stepped on the shoulder of a person in front of her, and then quickly stepped towards where Ling Yue was.
"Dad, go quickly!"
Without waiting for Ling Yue to agree, he directly resisted him on his shoulders and ran down the city, leaping like a flying step.
Ling Yue lay on his daughter's shoulder, dizzy when he was shaken, "Hurry, let me down!"
Chapter completed!
