"We have them all, press on them and drive them out!" Jin Yao saw the scene in front of him. It was meaningless to give any command. The only way was to drive out the Chu army that had entered the city.
As for finding out who opened the city gate, we have to wait until the Chu army is driven out.
"Chang Shi, you take command!" Jin Yao and his personal guards also decisively joined the battle, joining the battle from the alleyway on the left side of the city gate.
On such a battlefield, after all, a long sword is not as good as a long soldier. Jin Yao didn't know where he picked up a long halberd. He danced with the halberd in the wind, and no one dared to take it away wherever the halberd was directed.
Edge.
But there were too many enemies. Enemy troops kept pouring in from the city gate. Corpses were already piled around Jin Yao. The halberd in his hand had already turned into a long stick. He didn’t know when the tip of the halberd broke.
of.
"Be careful, Juzi!" However, just as Jin Yao was looking around blankly for a new weapon, Jing Ke's anxious voice came from beside him.
Jin Yao instinctively raised his head when he heard Jing Ke's voice, and then saw a knight riding his horse quickly from the crowd. The knight also leaned down and tried to chop off his head with the long sword in his hand.
"Don't hurt my lord!" Jin Yao had no time to raise his hand to fight back, but there was a whistling wind behind him.
Then he saw a huge stone pillar flying past his left ear, hitting the knight hard, knocking both men and horses away from the surrounding Chu troops.
Thunder struck the dry land, and a black dot fell from the sky, crashing into the middle of the Chu army, shaking all the Chu soldiers around and falling to the ground.
The black shadow also picked up the thrown stone pillar and waved it among the Chu army. It was like a stone grinding grain, smashing out a piece of meat on the ground.
"Wushuang Ghost!" Jin Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of battlefield is actually the most suitable for Wushuang ghosts.
Copper skin and iron bones, immense strength, coupled with the armor tailor-made for him by the Mohists, he was like a black giant. Standing at the city gate, looking around, no one could come close, no matter whether it was friend or foe.
"Wushuang, go to the city gate and push them out!" Jin Yao decisively picked up a halberd and shouted while hitting it.
Upon hearing Jin Yao's words, Wushuang Ghost decisively rushed from the city gate waving a huge stone pillar, while Jin Yao followed closely with his personal guards.
Looking at the black giant and the terrifying stone pillar, no one in the Chu army dared to step forward to stop them, so they could only keep retreating.
When there was no way to retreat, a siege occurred.
The Chu army outside did not know what was happening in the city and poured into the city. However, the soldiers in the city did not dare to have close contact with the huge stone pillar and wanted to retreat.
It becomes that people from outside can’t get in if they want to; people in the city can’t get out if they want to.
"Battle A, guard the city gate and wall, while the others surround and annihilate the enemy troops who broke into the city!" After Wu Rui saw that Wushuang Ghost had occupied the city gate, he gave the order directly, leaving 5,000 people to guard the city gate, and the others who came
The Dragon Guard pursued the Chu army that had rushed into the city but failed to get out.
The battle also lasted from late at night to noon. No one knows how many people died in this battle.
The only thing that was known was that the entire city gate was littered with corpses, both from the Dragon Guard and from the Chu army. The corpses were piled up in mountains, and the ground around the city gate was stained black and red with blood.
Xiang Yan also knew that the situation was over, so he did not send any more troops to attack the city and chose to withdraw from the battle.
However, Jin Yao did not dare to be careless. After a night of fierce fighting, the east city gate was damaged and must be repaired as soon as possible.
"It is difficult to repair. All the organs, hubs and gates were destroyed by the Chu army!" Jing Ke checked the condition of the city gate. The entire city gate had been smashed and all the organs were destroyed. It was impossible to repair it.
.
The only way to rebuild the fortifications is to build a new city gate.
But it is obvious that the Chu army cannot give Long Wei this time.
"Since it can't be repaired, let the people in the city retreat within three miles of the east gate and build a temporary urn city around the east city. I want to see how many lives Xiang Yan has to fill it!" Jin Yao ordered with red eyes.
If Wushuang Ghost had not blocked the Chu army and recaptured the city gate, Longcheng would have fallen!
"Here!" Chen Xian nodded. In fact, he originally wanted to completely seal the East City Gate, but after thinking about it carefully, after the East City Gate is sealed, the Chu army will not waste time at the East Gate, and will also gather heavy troops to attack other areas.
city gate.
Instead of doing this, it is better to leave a thought to the other side, thinking that the east gate is a breakthrough, and they have to divide their troops to stay and attack the east gate.
In this way, the Dragon Guard can also use the geographical advantage to contain the largest Chu army with the smallest force.
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Jin Yao looked at Wu Rui and Chen Xian with a gloomy expression.
"Tell me, why is the city gate opened from the inside?"
Chen Xian and Wu Rui looked at each other, and what was supposed to come had come.
"It's the nobles in the city!" Chen Xian stepped forward and took the initiative to take over the responsibility.
"Do they really think that without them, Gu can't control the place?" Jin Yao actually guessed the answer, but he was still very angry.
In last night's battle alone, more than 20,000 Longwei soldiers were killed, and there were countless wounded. Although the Chu army's casualties were still higher than theirs, these casualties should not have occurred.
"Give me the old noble lists of Jiujiang and Dongting counties!" Jin Yao looked at Chen Xian and shouted.
Chen Xian hesitated, but still ordered someone to send up the list of officials and nobles.
These nobles were both local nobles and local officials.
"Who are the nobles in the city?" Jin Yao didn't want to look at so many names, so he shouted again.
Chen Xian and Wu Rui sighed, knowing very well what would happen next, but they still pulled out the names of the nobles in Dragon City from the pile of names.
"Li Yang, Li Hua, and Yan Lingji, I leave it to you. Before dark, I don't want to see another dog alive in their house!" Jin Yao said coldly.
"This..." Both Li Yang and Li Hua had just left Jiuli Village and had never killed anyone. Although the Jiuli clan was martial, they also loved life. Although they knew that they would inevitably kill people when they came out this time, they never thought about the second time.
One kill, but so many people.
"It was only a small number of people from their clan who committed the crime. Killing them all is too much, right?" Li Yang said bravely.
When he thought about killing so many people, including the old, weak, women and children, his scalp went numb and he felt like he couldn't do it at all.
"Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. Although they did not participate, if we fail to hold on and Dragon City falls, they will take the heads of everyone in Dragon City to claim credit from the Chu State and become vested interests.
Even if they don't do anything, they can enjoy it all!" Jin Yao said indifferently.
Then he took the roster back from Li Yang.
"Bailiyun, come with me!" Jin Yao did not force Li Yang and Li Hua to do it. He took Bailiyun and other personal guards with him and visited them door to door according to the roster.
Wherever it goes, no chicken or dog will be left behind!
