As the fire approached and the city gate was still not opened, the Zhou army at the North Gate, which had fallen into a desperate situation, went completely crazy, and the spirit of death was repeatedly added to their bodies.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The deafening sound of fighting almost drowned out the sound of gunpowder smoke throughout the city!
Xing Tian smiled, and Yang Yanzhang rushed to the front line again, with swords and swords flashing, spears piercing and spears piercing, and lives were lost one by one in the bloody wind.
Time passed little by little, and Sanshi County finally turned into a city of flames! The fire was blazing into the sky, reflecting the sky for dozens of miles around! Even the scorching sun in the sky had to retreat at this moment, sinking into the rising sky.
In the black smoke.
The fire spread completely through the city, and all the houses and huts were burned.
Downstairs of the north gate, tens of thousands of Zhou troops were forced to gather in a narrow area a hundred steps outside the city gate. Only this small area was cleared first by the Han army and then by the Zhou army. It was regarded as an isolation zone. The fire
It can't be burned here.
But this place can only serve as a temporary shelter. Soon, if the city gate is not opened, the billowing heat wave rising in the city will be enough to roast them all to death! At this moment, the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty went crazy.
They were crowded on the steps of the city, and from time to time, unlucky Zhou soldiers would be squeezed down from the stairs by one of them.
In addition to opening the city gate, they only have a way to survive by capturing the city gate tower and defeating the Han defenders!
A five-foot-high city wall cannot stop people from escaping if necessary. Even if they take off their clothes and pants and connect them together, a five-foot-high city wall can fall down.
Taking a deep look at the burning Sanshi County, it was unknown how many people had died in this city of flames today. Yang Yanzhang shouted loudly, "Brothers, it's time for us to leave!"
It was only a hundred or so steps away. When the whole city turned into a flame and there was a southeast wind blowing in, this distance could not guarantee safety at all. In other words, even the Han troops who stayed in Beicheng would do it in the end.
Devoured by fire.
Unexpectedly, all the Zhou soldiers on the east city wall had already declared a truce, threw away their armor, took off their clothes and pants, tied them together one by one, and hung them from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. Thousands of Zhou soldiers were pushing and squeezing each other.
They scrambled to escape to the city.
It is because under the care of the southeast wind, the southeast side of the city wall was the first to be damaged!
And there is still a factor that cannot be ignored. Since the coalition forces entered the southeast corner of Sanshi County in the afternoon, 90% of them have been unable to replenish water.
Wells all over the city had been filled up and destroyed by the Han army, and ordinary soldiers could not get water at all. Even if they encountered a few wells that were still intact, without buckets, how could they use large amounts of water? How efficient would it be to collect water?
It is June now, and midsummer is almost over, but the weather is still extremely hot. There is still a huge fire in Sanshi City. How many ordinary soldiers can hold on all the time?
The Han army made very detailed preparations and stored a lot of drinking water on the north wall. The Zhou army and the Zhongshan army did not receive such good treatment. Just the word "thirsty" could destroy half of the willpower of the coalition forces.
In less than two quarters of an hour, there was not a drop of blood under the North City Gate, and Zhou Jun had been swept down by the rolling heat wave. Nearly a hundred people were knocked down. The smell of oil and meat that hit the mouth and nose in the city was still spreading with the hot wind -
—
But at the north city gate, the two armies really fought and signed the "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence."
The remaining thousands of Han soldiers rode the prepared rope ladders and lowered the baskets one by one into the city. Countless Zhou soldiers watched eagerly, hoping that the Han soldiers could finish going down earlier, and then it would be their turn...
They didn't dare to act rashly at this time. If they aroused the Han army's determination to give up, they would definitely be finished with it. These Zhou soldiers under the North City Gate were all counting on the Han soldiers above to keep their promises.
Yang Yanzhang and Xing Tianxiao were the last people to go down to the city. Yang Yanzhang took one last look at the fireworks all over the city. The aroma of meat and oil rising became stronger and stronger, but was not suppressed by the thick smell of blood at the top of the city. Yang Yanzhang
Knowing what it is, looking at the tragic situation of Zhou Jun, his heart is filled with happiness and no pity.
After counting the number of Han troops under the city wall, there were only about 700 people who could still fight, and only 300 people who were wounded and unable to fight.
If you are a timid person, you will definitely lead the team to escape at this time. But Yang Yanzhang is different. More than 700 people can still fight him in two groups, and a wave of 200 people will look after the wounded soldiers and protect the east and west directions.
The enemy came, but the other five hundred people were waiting at the foot of the city wall to take prisoners.
This made everyone in the Zhou army who was about to go down to the city get angry and twist their noses!
"Come down quickly, the Zhou soldiers above, or the fire will burn your butts!" After half a day of brutal fighting, the Muzhou Army under Yang Yanzhang has grown up, and they no longer care about their own life or death.
The danger is life or death.
This is a group of warriors who ignore life and death!
Perhaps, it was also because I was deeply stimulated by the "smell of meat oil" in the city. That was human flesh, human oil!
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Just when Yang Yanzhang organized the remaining troops to go down to the city, Zhu Biao led more than 2,000 cavalry to Sanshi County. But he came not to the north gate, but to the west gate. The valley where Zhu Biao led his troops to ambush was in Sanshi County.
of western suburbs.
Zhu Biao did not go to take charge of the allied army's stronghold in the south of the city, but just led the army on the west road. The soldiers and horses quietly hid outside the west gate.
This elite cavalry under his command is not targeting scattered defeated soldiers, his target is the generals of the coalition forces who have escaped.
Under such a favorable situation, it would be too depressing if he could not capture three or five important coalition generals. So Zhu Biao jumped out of the circle and watched with cold eyes, just like the eagle soaring in the blue sky, waiting to see what happens.
.
If you don't move, you are gone. If you move like thunder, you are gone. If you don't move, you will be dead. If you move out, you will surely destroy the enemy.
The fire took advantage of the wind, and sure enough, soon after Zhu Biaocai led his troops to the ambush, flames rose into the sky in Sanshi County. They could be seen clearly even outside the city.
The wind helped the fire, and the blazing fire quickly pressed toward the west and north of the city.
Shouts, screams, whines, the sound of houses collapsing, all kinds of different sounds mixed together and reached Zhu Biao's ears, leaving only noise.
When the fire was completely ignited, the coalition forces in the chaos of Sanshi County became more and more panicked.
First, a group of seven to eight hundred cavalrymen from outside the city rushed to guard outside the west gate. Soon, they saw groups of Zhou soldiers and Zhongshan soldiers rushing out from the west gate, with more and more people.
At the same time, Zhu Biao's first clear target appeared - General Fan Chunju of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
"Kill -" Zhu Biao pointed the spear forward and shouted. More than two thousand cavalry immediately rushed out. What could be more satisfying than beating up a drowned dog? There was no need for him to say anything. The cavalry behind him
He followed him and rushed down like a madman.
A thunderous "kill" sound suppressed the noise outside the west gate even at this moment. When the shocked coalition forces saw the sudden appearance of the Han army's cavalry, they all flew out of their minds.
They had just escaped with their lives from Sanshi County, which was about to turn into a furnace. Before everyone could rejoice, they were frightened by the shouts of killing, and the coalition forces collapsed and dispersed in an instant.
Because many of the coalition soldiers who escaped from the west gate had lost their armor, helmets and even weapons during their escape, how could they still have the guts to face the Han army's elite cavalry?
Meng Ruhu's general immediately led eight hundred cavalry to attack. However, facing the two thousand Bodaoling elite cavalry under the Tianlang formation, the eight hundred cavalrymen Meng Ruhu had carefully trained for many years were defeated in a single blow.
When Zhu Biao led thousands of cavalry, he could defeat a thousand-man team of random cavalry with one blow. What's more, now it's two thousand men and horses against eight hundred cavalry?
Just like a dense iron brush, the 800 neat cavalry turned into a scattered cavalry of less than 400 people. They were beaten down by the Muzhou Army cavalry behind the Bodaoling Jingqi with another hammer. The ending was really tragic!
But speaking of it, those Muzhou Army cavalry also felt pitiful. Zhu Biao took them with him, but when setting up the formation, he didn't lead them to play with them at all. He just gave a big command to follow behind!
Faced with the reputation of Zhu Biao and the reputation of the Bodaoling Jingqi, the Muzhou Army cavalry did not dare to talk back, let alone disobey orders. There was a feeling of anger in their hearts, which happened to be sprinkled on the head of Meng Ruhu's bodyguard.
Countless coalition soldiers were brought down by their own robes in a hurry and trampled to death. When two thousand cavalry rushed in, neither the Zhou army nor the Zhongshan army could organize an effective resistance at all.
The cavalry were brave and their morale was high, but their manpower was limited. Zhu Biao was not stupid enough to stab the coalition forces, but cut them off layer by layer like a whittling knife. Just like the battle under Xiyang City, immediately
The bows and crossbows spread out and fired arrows non-stop at the coalition troops. The lethality is really not huge, but it can cause greater fear to the already panicked coalition forces. This effect is stronger than directly attacking with knives.
too much.
Panic, even more panic, and incomparable confusion. Nothing can demoralize a person more, and destroy the morale of an army more than the rain of arrows in panic.
Two thousand cavalrymen kept waving their weapons, and their broken limbs were flying all over the sky.
If Zhu Biao could gather 5,000 cavalry troops, and the ones placed outside the west gate were not 2,000 cavalry but 5,000 cavalry, he absolutely believed that he would definitely be able to kill the entire coalition army in one battle.
After killing for a while, Zhu Biao found that he was getting further and further away from Fan Chunju.
The reason is that he has to take care of the entire army, but Fan Chunju is riding a horse and whipping his whip. All he has to do is run as fast as possible. He raises the bow, nocks the arrow, bends the bow, and aims...
An arrow struck Fan Chunju heading north, and Fan Chunju stooped on his horse and walked away. Even after a five-stone bow passed a distance of 200 steps, he couldn't kill Fan Chunju with one arrow. What a pity!
"Zhu Zhong! Lead a thousand cavalry to continue the pursuit, drive them towards Nancheng, kill them first and then capture them!"
Zhu Biao circled his horse and turned back, leading another thousand cavalry back to the west gate. Because there was still Meng Ruhu there, and Yang Yanzhang was still there at the north gate...
If the former can be killed, then there will be no worries in Yuzhou and no worries in Zhongshan! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
