Chapter 121 Half Day City (Part 2)
Chapter 121 Half-Day City (Part 2)
The sun gradually moved, and under the banner, there were densely packed with Shu soldiers wearing red armor.
The soldiers have been boundless and unobstructed. Even if there are only three thousand three large troops, the arrangement cycle is connected by the end, which is still fearful. Of course, what scares Fei Yan the most is that at this time, the soldiers and generals arranged in the square arrays and did not move at all. This is a typical strong army.
Fei Yan stood on the city tower and looked out from a distance. He saw a huge flag with the word "Du". He was sure that this was the original Wenyang Town general Du Gongzhen.
Unexpectedly, in the first battle, Du Gongzhen, the general of Wenyang Town, was dispatched for a county town.
Almost at the same time, Du Gongzhen was also looking at the county town, with soldiers and generals on it.
When Chaoyang arrived at a certain point, Du Gongzhen looked at the county town, his eyes were filled with anger, and he said with a sneer: "I, Du Gongzhen, have led the troops for twenty years, and I dare to stop this mere small town!"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other and laughed, and their morale was high.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The drum sounded, and 3,300 people, except for the central army, slowly stepped forward, and then slowly stepped forward, murderous aura spread throughout the battlefield.
The war drums were beating, and the army moved forward at the rhythm. After a moment, the county town became closer and closer. The soldiers wearing hangings on the city were clearly visible. Many soldiers held long bows in their hands and prepared to shoot.
At 200 steps, the war drums stopped, and this was outside the range.
At this time, Du Gongzhen was standing tall on the horse, tall, full of armor, and a red cloak behind him, with a deep face, without showing his joy and anger, and seemed to have entered the state of a general. At this time, he ordered: "Pili carriage comes forward!"
The two Thunderbolt vehicles advanced slowly and steadily, entering two hundred steps away from the county town.
Du Gongzhen's order: "Prepare!"
The thunder car was slowly loaded with huge rocks, and five hundred people served two thunder carts.
"Smash, let me make a gap!" Du Gongzhen said coldly.
"Get orders!"
After ordering, hundreds of soldiers exerted their strength together, the thunder chariot roared violently, and a huge rock, with a "boom", turned into an arc in the air and smashed it directly.
At this time, the operation of the Pili Car was no longer a newbie. With a "boom", the huge rock fell accurately on the city wall. The loud noise was like spring thunder. The entire city wall shook, and a large area of mud and sand flew up.
"A crack was smashed!" The person who was far away from where he smashed shouted.
Fei Yan's face suddenly turned pale. Although he had heard about the power of the thunder chariot for a long time, he did not think of such a powerful thing. He saw that there were no living people in the place where he was smashed, only a piece of blood mud was left.
"Let it go again!"
"Boom!" Another loud noise that shook the sky and the earth. Two huge rocks hit the original city wall. At the same time, the original cracks increased and the gravel fell down. A large gap suddenly appeared on the county wall.
One piece fell a little further and fell to a tall building. It suddenly fell among the sand and gravels in the sky. The tall building fell down with a bang. Seeing these, the three thousand three hundred Shu soldiers immediately cheered together, deafeningly, and soared into the sky.
Fei Yan was confused, but his mind was blank. He didn't know what to do, but he couldn't hear any sound for a while. There seemed to be a silent silent drama being staged around him.
At this moment, with a "boom", the city wall finally couldn't bear it, and a bang fell, revealing a gap of more than ten meters.
Du Gongzhen immediately ordered the drum beat of war, and a regular drum sound, one after another, hitting straight into the hearts of our enemies and us.
The Shu army moved like a tide, advancing towards the city wall. After a moment, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and a large number of Shu army rushed in along the gap.
"Quick, stop them from entering the city!"
"I can't stop it! They have already rushed in!"
"Don't retreat, rush up and stop them!"
"Kill!"
On the battlefield with murderous intent, two armies were fighting each other.
Although the new guards of the Qian family included fierce battle soldiers, forming a flesh-and-blooded Great Wall, fighting to the death, most of the soldiers were panicked and lost their fighting spirit.
The 1,500 troops and 3,500 troops are only twice as different, and they can also fight in one battle, but the human heart is so subtle, with the mentality of defending the city. Looking at the Thunderbolt chariot for only a moment, the county town was blown away, and most of the defenders suddenly felt like they were bombarded with fighting spirit.
Du Gongzhen rode on the horse, scanned the situation around the city gate, and sneered a few times.
"What's the situation?" He asked the general who had just returned.
"Master, all the defenders of the city gate are killed. The enemy retreated to the strongholds two streets and defended. Will they all be wiped out or surrendered?" the general asked.
Before, Du Gongzhen certainly wanted to surrender, but at this time, his mentality was different. This was his first battle for Wang Hongyi. If he surrendered at this time, wouldn’t he show his merits?
Besides, although I had no regrets, Du Gongzhen also felt bad in his heart.
"There is already a surrender, but this kind of person dares to refuse. It's really a pity to die. Keep the city gate first, so that no one will be surrounded by us. The guards will continue to chase me and crush all resistance!" Du Gongzhen said viciously.
"No!" A military flag waved and issued a cruel order, and the murderous aura spread across the city.
Compared with the previous huge rock attack, Du Gongzhen's army's actions at this time were even more unilaterally massacred.
"Ha, it's such a nostalgic victory." Since surrendering to Wang Hongyi, Du Gongzhen has led his army to fight for the first time. Even though his opponent is not worth mentioning to him, he still felt the excitement and pleasure of lying on the battlefield.
This pleasure even made him shout: "Arm, let me kill you!"
The saber in his hand was raised high and shining in the sun. The former famous generals regained their mighty spirit at this moment.
Under his leadership, the Du family army was unstoppable. In just half an hour, they almost won the battle.
However, the other party is still resisting.
"If you guess correctly, Chuankou County Magistrate will be among those people." He stared at a stronghold in the melee, and Du Gongzhen said coldly.
Because he had sent an envoy to surrender, Fei Yan, the county magistrate of Chuankou County, who was also over 50 years old, had his eyes red. He was left behind his gentleness and official style at this time.
He copied the long sword that he hadn't missed, and his official robe was held high by him. He urged the rest of the defenders to fight back to death, looking for an opportunity to break through.
Because I resisted for a while, I had already led the war horse over and turned over the horse. I was no longer as embarrassed as I was at the beginning, but I did not choose to escape alone.
At this time, there were still two hundred soldiers gathered, all of whom were rare elites in the county and the team he trained over the years.
Although he is not considered to be superb in martial arts, he is very loyal to him.
Unlike the two guards who were dispatched, these 200 people were personal guards who only obeyed their orders.
Before the city was broken, I was anxious, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, but now the enemy broke through the city and refused to surrender, but instead calmed down.
The county magistrate is Bailihou, and he has his own foundation and insights to be promoted. Chuankou County can no longer defend himself. If he doesn’t even have some confidant soldiers, he will definitely die when he goes back!
After following Qian Qingfu for many years, he was cruel and ruthless. He did not defend the county town. He did not say that his foundation had been gone for many years. If he did not bring any soldiers back, he would immediately take them out and behead him.
Even if you don’t go back, you will have nowhere to survive if you break through alone!
Thinking of this, Fei Yan had a ferocious face and a long sword in his hand, regaining his feelings back when he was born. However, even though he was a general and was old, he was also slapped in his body.
Blood burst out, and a few more screams came from a distance.
No need to look at it, a familiar voice told him that several more personal guards were killed.
"Sir, I'm afraid the county town is really unable to defend it anymore, so you might as well leave quickly!" The closest guard to him blocked the attack and persuaded him.
However, his advice did not work at all, and the man in front of him was already a little anxious.
"Sir! Go quickly...ah!" A trembling crossbow arrow directly killed the man's persuasion.
Another man turned over and fell off his horse, and with a plop, he smashed a piece of dust.
The county magistrate of Chuankou County had no time to see the bodies on the ground, and several people fell to the ground seriously injured and could not survive. His heart also shrank tightly at this moment.
At this time, a small group of cavalry suddenly rushed in from the periphery. What made Chuankou County Magistrate breathed a sigh of relief was that the cavalry was not the enemy, but a team in the county town and more than a dozen of his cavalrymen.
This team was promoted by the county magistrate. He was very loyal. Seeing his lord suffer, he rushed over desperately, his armor covered with blood.
On the one hand, he blocked the enemy soldiers, and on the other hand, he ordered the rest to protect the lord from leaving.
Seeing the scene at this time, Fei Yan knew that he could not break through with these 200 people. He stayed there, but he was in vain. He had to grit his teeth and break out outside under the protection of these dozens of riders.
There were not many enemy troops besieged in this area. At the cost of losing another five or six people, ten cavalry finally broke out of the encirclement.
"General, the big fish ran away!" The person who had been looking at the situation there spoke.
Du Gongzhen, who was standing beside him, smiled coldly: "He can't run away."
Soon, a few screams came from the other party's escape, verifying Du Gongzhen's words.
After a while, a small team of Du family troops sent by Du Gongzhen walked out from there. The few people behind him were still leading a few war horses. One of them was hanging horizontally, and an arrow passed by, and he saw that he was dead.
Judging from his clothes, he was Fei Yan, the magistrate of Chuankou County who had fled!
"General, the east side has been cleared."
"General, our army has controlled the situation in the city."
"General, the county government has occupied it and is searching for the remnants in the city."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Gongzhen showed a rare smile: "You are doing well. However, the lord has ordered that you should not disturb the people or violate military discipline. This matter must be conveyed. If you disobey, don't blame me for not talking about my love for many years."
After a pause, he said, "Search the results of the battle!"
A moment later, the result came out: "One hundred and seventy people were killed in our army, nine hundred and fifty were beheaded, and five hundred prisoners were captured."
Du Gongzhen said again: "Transfer this news to the lord quickly and tell him that the lord knows that we will welcome the army to enter the city!"
"No!" A messenger responded and several riders ran out.
