Su Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city gate!"
The soldiers guarding the city were waiting for his words. Outside the city were all the fellow villagers from Luzhou, and no one wanted to bear the infamy of not recognizing their relatives. The soldiers quickly pushed the city gate open and looked at themselves with smiles.
The "folks" went home. They didn't know that the folks were carrying knives.
More than a thousand Han soldiers disguised as refugees escorted Huang Mengjin and his few soldiers towards the city gate. Su Zhen looked at the refugees and said to himself that he had finally won over some soldiers. He looked at
The refugees who were slowly walking over couldn't help but feel a little proud of their great kindness. Looking at it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. As for what was wrong, he couldn't remember it for a while, so he frowned and said
He turned around and asked the leader of his own army: "There seems to be something missing in this crowd. Why do they look so awkward?"
The leader of the personal brigade was a smart man. After taking a closer look, his face suddenly changed and he said, "General, this is not good!"
Su Zhen was shocked and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
The leader of the personal brigade said eagerly: "General, please order the city gate to be closed! There is not a single woman among those refugees! There must be a scam!"
Su Zhen shouted: "Huang Shuyuan has mistaken me! Someone is coming, please close the city gate quickly!"
While shouting loudly to close the city gate, he ordered the archers to release arrows immediately! Even Huang Mengrui, a guy who has failed to achieve anything but failed, can't care so much below. Those "refugees" must be prevented from entering the city! He has put down his bow and arrow.
The soldiers didn't understand why the general suddenly ordered to fire arrows, and looked at Su Zhen in confusion, with even anger in his eyes. Seeing the soldiers dragging their feet, Su Zhen became furious: "Those outside are Han troops.
Soldier! Quick, shoot me an arrow!"
But, it's too late.
Hearing Su Zhen's shouting on the city wall, the Han soldiers suddenly quickened their pace and rushed into the city gate with a roar. Those Zhou soldiers who had not yet reacted were immediately put to the ground like melons and vegetables.
The Han army pulled out the horizontal knives hidden in their clothes and chopped them randomly, killing the Zhou soldiers guarding the city gate and driving them back. Soon, the north gate of Luzhou was seized by the Han army!
This change of events was so sudden that the soldiers guarding the city had no time to react! The Han army suddenly launched an attack, roaring into the city and killing everyone they saw. A group of soldiers wearing tattered clothes waved their hands like crazy
The horizontal sword slashed one Zhou army soldier to death. A Zhou army soldier finally recovered. Before he could raise his weapon to resist, a Han army soldier cut his neck open with a knife. He stretched out his hand.
He went to cover the wound, and blood kept pouring out from the gaps in his palm like water.
More than a thousand Han soldiers rushed into the city and quickly deployed, firmly controlling the city gate. At this time, the Zhou soldiers who had woken up began a crazy counterattack under the command of Su Zhen. However, they were defeated by the Han army.
After occupying the city gate, it was difficult for the Zhou army to recapture it for a while. At this moment, suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the distance. The soldiers of the Zhou army on the city wall suddenly panicked, and someone pointed in the distance and shouted:
"It's cavalry! It's Han cavalry!"
Three thousand cavalry, led by Dugu Ruizhi, quickly came over. Although the defenders on the city wall fired heavy crossbows, which dealt a certain blow to the Han cavalry, the cavalry was too fast and the heavy crossbows were within the range.
After firing twice, the Han army's cavalry had already reached the city gate. After the cavalry entered the city, large groups of Han army infantry rushed over from behind. Soon, despite the rain of arrows shot from the city wall, the Han army became organized.
Entered Luzhou City.
Although the Han army occupied the city gate, the city wall was still controlled by the Zhou army. After entering the city, the Han army's cavalry began to charge directly towards the Zhou army's camp, while the infantry began to attack the city wall along the horse road. Along the slope of the horse road
, the Zhou army and the Han army began to fight inch by inch. Every step forward had to be paid in blood. But the morale of the Han army, which had already gained the upper hand, was like a rainbow, and it forced the Zhou army soldiers back step by step.
While commanding the soldiers to resist the crazy attack of the Han army, Su Zhen ordered his own soldiers to go to the main camp to deliver orders. At the same time, he sent people to notify the guards of the other three gates and quickly led troops to the north gate to support them. However, it was obvious that he sent out
The speed of the soldiers was far less than that of the Han army's cavalry. Led by the three spies from the Supervisory Council who had quietly slipped down the city wall and took off the Zhou army's uniforms, the Han army's cavalry rushed towards the Zhou army's camp as fast as thunder!
At this time, in the Zhou army's camp, most of the soldiers were resting in the barracks after finishing their morning drills. The Han army's cavalry roared in and after entering the camp gate, there were still many soldiers who didn't know what happened. They
They hurriedly picked up their weapons to resist, and more people did not even have time to pick up their weapons. After the Han cavalry broke into the camp, they began to massacre the Zhou soldiers crazily. They swung their sharp sabers down and could easily kill them with the impact of the horses.
The man was split into two pieces from top to bottom.
The two things of murder and arson are often closely linked. Under the leadership of Dugu Ruizhi, the Han cavalry did these two things with ease. Although there were nearly 8,000 Zhou soldiers in the camp,
But the three thousand Han cavalry came with the power of thunder, killing decisively, plowing the court and clearing the holes.
The soldiers of the Zhou army were wailing and crying and running back and forth. The mid-level generals shouted hoarse and failed to organize effective resistance. Instead, their positions were exposed and the Han cavalry was targeted to attack. The Han cavalry had the same style.
They rushed back and forth in the Zhou army camp, plowing the ground to kill all the Zhou soldiers who resisted but did not resist. This was not a war, but a vomiting massacre.
Blood, minced meat, internal organs, bones.
Finally, under the diligent organization of a general, a group of about six to seven hundred Zhou soldiers formed a circular formation and began to break out of the camp. However, in this chaotic camp, their group seemed
It was too prominent. Therefore, it quickly attracted attacks from Han cavalry.
Dugu Ruizhi absolutely did not allow the Zhou army to organize resistance. He pointed with his horse, and the hundreds of cavalry behind him quickly turned their direction. The cavalry team drew a beautiful arc and moved towards the Zhou army like a scimitar.
The team cut through. The circular formation formed by the soldiers of the Zhou army was cut open like tofu by the impact of the conical impact formation of the Han cavalry. After killing the enemy formation, Dugu Ruizhi led the cavalry back again, and again
Smash the small team into pieces.
Three thousand cavalry were divided into more than a dozen small teams, and they came like rakes to clean up the Zhou army's camp. Dugu Ruizhi strived for a quick victory, so he did not consider accepting surrender at all. There are eight thousand Zhou troops here, because
There were many people who were disrupted by the sudden attack and knelt down to surrender, but Dugu Ruizhi had no time to pay attention to them. He still wanted to fight back. After all, of the four gates of Luzhou, only the north gate was controlled by the Han army.
In less than half an hour, the Zhou army camp turned into a hell. Killings were happening everywhere, and people died everywhere. Corpses chopped into pieces and tents set on fire formed a truly cruel scene.
War scene. A soft-hearted person cannot go to the battlefield. If you treat the enemy because of the needs of the war, even if the enemy has surrendered, you don't need to hesitate to kill them!
This is the true meaning of war, killing.
When Dugu Ruizhi determined that no more alive Zhou soldiers could be found in the 8,000-strong Zhou army camp, he immediately led his cavalry back and charged directly at the south gate of Luzhou! This was a tactic that had been planned before.
Once started, it must not be stopped. At this time, the Han cavalry were killing people until their hands were shaking. They were not afraid or panicked, but tired.
At this time, Su Zhen was busy directing his soldiers to resist the Han army's attack. A large number of Han troops had already climbed onto the city wall, and reinforcements from the east gate and west gate were gradually arriving. But even so, compared to the number of Han troops,
In general, the defensive strength was still too small. He sent no less than five groups of soldiers to the camp to ask for help, but no one came back. Su Zhen knew that Luzhou was going to be lost because of his extremely stupid idea.
He hated Huang Mengru so much!
If it hadn't been for that guy, we wouldn't have reached this point.
If he had the chance to catch Huang Mengru, he would definitely cut him into pieces. But obviously, he no longer has this chance in this life. Because, the first thing after the Han army entered the city gate,
He cut Huang Mengru into two pieces with a knife. The murderer was the second uncle. He cut off Huang Mengru's head and half of his shoulder, then reached out and dug out the gold and silver in the pool of blood. He smiled.
He smiled, showing his beautiful white teeth. His name was Shi Shouxin, a man who should never have appeared in the ranks of the Han army in history.
If Liu Ling knew that there was a small brigade commander named Shi Shouxin under the command of Dugu Ruizhi, he would be surprised. Shi Shouxin was the first contributor to the founding of the Song Dynasty by Zhao Kuangyin! Tongping Zhangshi, the guards and the Ma Bujun all commanded envoys
, Tianping Army Jiedu Envoy, that was a famous general in the early Song Dynasty in history! However, history has been completely chaotic. Shi Shouxin, who should have been waiting in Kaifeng City to open the door for Zhao Kuangyin, is still just a general.
A journey from the seventh grade!
Eight thousand soldiers in the camp were slaughtered, which actually declared the defeat of the Zhou army. The total number of soldiers guarding the four gates was less than 2,000. How could they withstand the 16,700 Han troops who were like wolves and tigers?
?Since the Han army attacked the city, Luzhou has actually announced a change of ownership.
When the fiery red war flag of the Han Dynasty was flying at the top of Luzhou City, the Han Dynasty thousands of miles north and south finally became one!
At the end of May in the first year of Xianyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luzhou, an important frontier fortress in the far north, was defeated. From the moment Luzhou passed to Suzhen, all 9,768 defenders died in battle. Wherever the Han army went, rivers of blood flowed.
This is a passage written by the historian of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The number of words is small, but it is full of chills.
Dugu Ruizhi handed in an answer sheet.
In fact, not all of the 9,768 Luzhou defenders died in the battle. About a thousand Zhou soldiers laid down their weapons and chose to surrender. At this time, the overall situation was decided, and there was no need for Dugu Ruizhi to kill them all.
He had to kill all the eight thousand people in the military camp, and there was no point in killing these one thousand surrendered soldiers who were heartbroken.
After settling the people and cleaning up the battlefield, the next thing Dugu Ruizhi had to do was to write a letter to His Highness the King of Han to report his victory. (To be continued)
