Chapter 496: City Gate Fierce Battle
The city gate is three feet wide and can accommodate up to eight warriors standing in a row.
Standing in the middle of Feng Yueming, on the left is Yun He, his most trusted deputy general of the Langya Army, and on the right is Xu Yang, the captain of the Hou Mansion patrol. The three of them are currently the most prestigious leaders in the Hou Mansion.
It's a life-and-death battle. Who dares not to fight to the death?
The light of swords and swords flashed continuously, and occasionally there were cold arrows shot from unknown places and stones falling from the sky. Sweat and blood stained everyone's shirts.
But no one backed away.
This is the last home of the Langya Army soldiers. Their parents, wives and children are now in the mountain city behind them. Even if they unfortunately die in battle, the city gate will be blocked with their corpses.
The two sides fought fiercely for nearly half an hour, when they suddenly heard a gong sounding at the foot of the mountain, Chen Hui's army immediately retreated like an ebbing tide. According to common sense, Feng Yueming should have sent out his troops to cover up the killing at this moment, but looking at the exhausted appearance of the soldiers, they were so tired that even the corpses of their companions were lost.
No one was there to lift it, and it was really hard to do anything.
Sheng Yong had anticipated the difficulty of this battle. When he saw that Master Chen Hui had failed, he immediately removed him and replaced him with He Fu's fresh troops to continue attacking the city gate.
Standard wheel tactics.
Even in the face of narrow and dangerous terrain, Sheng Yong still wanted to maximize his military advantage.
As the defender of the city, the Langya Army was not so lucky. Because they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, his team did not have much room for rotation and could only use the same wave of warriors to fight to the end.
When they are exhausted, the mountain city will be destroyed.
They all know this in their hearts, but no one has any way to change it. They can only try their best to delay it until the last moment to see if a miracle will happen.
He Fu's troops charged and killed for nearly half an hour, and Sheng Yong also replaced him and sent Lan Xiye.
Feng Yueming had served in the army with Feng Zhenyue before, and was an old acquaintance with Lan Xiye. When he saw him leading a team to attack, he shouted from a distance: "Fourth uncle, you're fine!"
Lan Xiye's indifferent voice came along with the wind: "Ruhui, you relied on Yan Ni and used a mere 10,000 bandit soldiers to block my king's army of 300,000 troops. How is this different from self-destruction? Even if I miss my old friendship, I will not be able to stand up to the military law.
I can't tolerate it. If you are willing to put down your arms, I can intercede for you in front of the emperor."
"Old feelings?" Feng Yueming sneered, "When the late emperor punished Li Shanchang and killed Lan Yu, did he miss the slightest trace of old feelings?"
There was a thorn in his words, implying that Lan Xiye was originally Lan Yu's adopted son, but now he "regarded the thief as his father" to serve the court. Lan Xiye felt guilty after being told by him, so he stopped answering and just attacked the city in a low tone.
About three quarters of an hour later, the gong sounded again, Lan Xiye was replaced again, and Zhang Zhongjie's troops took his place and attacked the hillside.
Zhang Zhongjie was dismissed from his post as commander of Xuzhou and later restored to power. This was the first time that Zhang Zhongjie had returned to command the army in combat, and he was extremely excited.
In the final analysis, the chaos in the Qingzhou Marquis Mansion was caused by his obstruction, making decisions and not being cautious enough, which led to the catastrophe.
If he can capture the mountain city in one fell swoop and outdo his previous efforts, he will surely be put into important use by the imperial court again.
He promoted the mysterious "Body Protection Magic Kung Fu" in the army. In fact, he asked his soldiers to practice the Four Symbols Wuji Kung Fu, and they all became his assistant trainers. The soldiers practiced the kung fu on time every day, and "cooperated" with their respective superiors every ten days.
"Practice" once, in fact, it is to transfer the skills to the superiors, layer by layer, and finally pass them on to Zhang Zhongjie.
Although most of the skills acquired by assistant trainers are passed on to their superiors, some of them are always stored in the body. Therefore, although Zhang Zhongjie's team only has 10,000 people, they are extremely powerful, and their strength and physical ability are far superior to ordinary soldiers.
They firmly believe that this is the result of practicing the "magic skill of body protection". The more they practice, the stronger their confidence becomes. They are also extremely brave on the battlefield and are not afraid of swords and guns.
If one martial arts master among thousands of armies cannot play a decisive role, but if everyone has true energy to protect their bodies, it will be a qualitative leap.
In contrast, although Feng Yueming's Langya Army was also very brave, it was obviously no match for Zhang Zhongjie's "Four Elephants Army".
Both sides were equally numerous and started a brutal and fierce battle near the city gate.
From time to time, blood splattered out, and some soldiers who joined the front line were defeated by the enemy before they even had time to stand firm.
The corpses of both sides were like sacks filled with straw, rolling all over the ground, leaving no one with anywhere to stay.
Feng Yue Ming was furious with the killing early in the morning. He stood guard in the middle of the city gate, the sword in his hand was already stained with the enemy's blood, and his arms and legs were slightly injured, but he still refused to retreat.
Four Confederate soldiers held spears and attacked Feng Yueming together.
Because Zhang Zhongjie was familiar with marksmanship, he asked his soldiers to also use long spears. Therefore, his "Four Elephants Army", also known as the Long Spear Team, would not suffer any loss whether it faced infantry or cavalry.
Feng Yue Mingzong was an outstanding expert among the younger generation. After three consecutive battles, he faced the fourth wave of enemies and felt a little out of strength. He kicked away a spear and bowed with his back.
, dodged the second spear, and at the same time flicked his strong wrist, swung the sword away from the third spear, and tried to stab the fourth spearman in the chest.
However, because the soldiers of the spear team have all practiced the Four Elephants Wuji, their physiques are far better than those of ordinary soldiers. He was unable to swing the third spear far in this swing, so he had to regretfully miss this opportunity, which made him physically and mentally exhausted again.
It deepened a layer.
Yun He's martial arts skills were far inferior to Feng Yueming's, so he could only guard the left side of the city gate to prevent the enemy from passing through the space on the left to get behind Feng Yueming.
Now the attacker changed from Lan Xiye to Zhang Zhongjie. The latter's wolf-like spearmen immediately made Yunhe even more overwhelmed. For Yunhe at this moment, every enemy soldier required a lot of effort from him.
In order to repel it, let alone cause casualties to the enemy.
The Langya Army soldiers behind him were in the same situation. They had been exhausted by the first three rounds of the Confederate Army's attacks. At this time, Zhang Zhongjie led a stronger spear team to the field, immediately pushing the Confederate Army's offensive to the starting point of the siege battle.
The biggest peak ever.
After all, Xu Yang was old. After sweeping away the two spears coming from the side, he was stabbed in the thigh by a third spear thrust from the side. He grunted, forced himself to sweep the man down, and then held on to his right side.
The inner wall of the city gate prevented him from falling.
Wu Yi quickly filled the position vacated by Xu Yang, but as soon as he stood still, two spears immediately stabbed his left shoulder and lower abdomen.
He was startled, and he dodged to the side, dodging one of the spears. Just as he was about to be stabbed by another spear, suddenly a halberd protruded from behind and blocked the spear for him.
When he looked back, he saw Feng Yeling dressed in warrior attire.
"Miss...you..." Wu Yi didn't have time to say anything more. He was dragged behind him by Feng Yeling. Feng Yeling stood on the right side of the city gate and "swept thousands of troops" with the Lingge halberd. The three southern troops
The warrior was instantly swept away and staggered back. It was unbelievable that the beautiful girl in front of him had such powerful fighting power.
The eldest lady went to the battle in person, and the morale of the Langya army was immediately boosted. The soldiers worked up their courage and fought desperately with the southern soldiers who were attacking the city.
Xu Yang and other injured Langya Army soldiers were quickly moved to the rear, where the female relatives performed simple wound treatment. Those who were slightly injured and still able to fight immediately returned to the front, while those who were seriously injured were carried into a stone building not far away to wait for further treatment.
disposal.
Although Feng Yeling refused to let Xia Shuang and the other three girls go down the mountain, her three maids still came here at Shi Miaoer's suggestion to help other female family members treat the wounded.
Both Shi Miaoer and Little Sparrow had experienced the cruelty of fighting against Japanese pirates, and quickly got into the mood. After a brief period of discomfort, Xia Shuang became as deft as them, and even tore off the bandage when the bandage was not enough.
Pull down your sleeves and skirt to help the injured person stop bleeding.
Feng Yueming was worried about her sister at first, but when she saw that Feng Yeling's new force was extremely powerful after she came in, Lingge's halberd flew up and down, and soldiers from the Southern Army were constantly knocked down or forced back by her Thirteenth Form of Prairie Fire.
Xu Yang, who was even better than Xu Yang at the beginning, couldn't help but burst into laughter and said: "Good girl, let's fight with them!"
When Yun He and other Langya Army soldiers saw Feng Yeling's heroic appearance, they were so amazed that they couldn't believe it. At the same time, they raised their own state to the limit, and everyone fought like a chicken to fight to the death.
The Langya army was united as one, and inspired by Feng Yeling, Xia Shuang and others, they burst out with unimaginable fighting power, turning the fierce battle at the city gate from about to collapse to a stalemate between the two sides.
