Wei Ping looked at Niu Gao, who was laughing loudly, and felt very hesitant in his heart. Now we have reached a life-and-death moment. Although the previous attacks were blocked, the advantage is still on our side, and we also rely on the advantage of weapons and firepower.
Covering the entire north gate.
But the enemy's reinforcements have already arrived at the north gate, and the situation may be about to reverse! At this time, you burst into laughter. Isn't this because your brain has been broken? What is it?
Li mobilized almost all the troops from the east and west to the north gate. As for the south gate, he did not arrange many people to defend it.
It has to be said that General Li's ability was not something he boasted about. He personally went into battle and commanded the soldiers to meet the enemy. Thousands of people came forward to follow up, lifted up wooden rolling stones and threw them at the Song army, once again repelling a powerful attack by the Song army.
, and occupied every key position again.
But at this moment, the three battalion commanders behind the goose cart suddenly pulled out the red flag and waved it.
As soon as the red flag came out, the Song army's offensive immediately slowed down. They did not continue to forcefully attack the city wall. Instead, they relied on bows and crossbows to continuously shoot and injure the enemy, and relied on long-range weapons to maintain their attack.
But this was the final moment of the decisive battle. Once the Song army's attack stalled, the morale of the Jiaozhi soldiers on the city wall immediately rose. Flying rocks flew wildly, and wood rolled down the ladder. The Song army was retreating steadily.
The offensive on the nine-way ladder has all come to a standstill. There are no living people lying on the ladder, only corpses.
Seeing that the enemy had been knocked down the ladder, General Li couldn't help but be overjoyed. Victory seemed to be in front of him. You must know that the victory in this first battle is very important.
If the city is repelled by them, then the next attack will be extremely beneficial to them. They urge the soldiers to hold on and give the enemy the most violent counterattack.
But in the face of these three behemoths, General Li was more than capable. The Song army was hidden among these three behemoths. Coupled with the thick armor, it was difficult for your bows and arrows to cause a fatal blow to the Song army.
They could only rely on rolling stones and wood. However, the opponent's crossbows were very sharp and caused great damage to their own side. Almost all the corpses hanging on the city walls were filled with arrows.
But General Li knew that as long as the Song army could not attack the city wall, they would definitely retreat in the afternoon. Because they still had to evacuate this behemoth, they could not wait until evening. He was even thinking about whether the Song army would retreat when it retreated.
He wanted to leave the city to pursue, because he observed that the Song army did not have many cavalry to cover the two wings. This was his opportunity. He shouted again: "Brothers, victory is in sight. As long as we persist for a while, the enemy
It will definitely retreat."
"Roar---!"
Now that the soldiers of Jiaozhi saw that the Song army had been pushed back by them and fell under the ladder, they knew that the urgent need had been relieved. And when they heard Li Jiang's words, they couldn't help but feel boosted in morale and worked harder to kill the enemy.
Wei Ping from the rear saw that the attack on his side had stalled. It would be too difficult to attack again, and it would cost a huge price, so he said to Niu Gao: "General, we want to capture Guangyuan City today.
, I’m afraid it’s going to be very difficult, why don’t we call in gold and withdraw our troops.”
Niu Gao said angrily: "This is unreasonable. Now that our army is in sight of victory, as a deputy general, you actually said such words that hurt morale. What is your intention? I hope you won't say it again. Otherwise, don't blame me for the military law."
victory is in sight?
At this time, Wei Ping realized that he had not integrated into the Forbidden Army at all. It was strange for these Han people to fight. Now they were obviously passive. What kind of victory was in sight! He was very upset and thought angrily, OK, I Just waiting to see how you win.
General Li also believed that he was in sight of victory, and could hardly contain the joy in his heart. He couldn't help but smile with joy, but at the same time he became more calm and calm, and ordered his soldiers to kill the enemy in an orderly manner.
But at this moment, there was sudden movement behind.
General Li was suddenly startled. If something happened again at this time, all his efforts would be in vain. He hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
The person next to him also had a confused look on his face and said, "General, let's go take a look."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier stumbled up and said, "No--it's not good, General, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared in the city."
"What?"
General Li was stunned, kicked the soldier to the ground, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could this enemy army appear in the city?"
The soldier was kicked to the ground and couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "General ---."
"Shut up!" General Li suddenly drew out his saber. Before the soldier could finish speaking, he stabbed the soldier to death. He roared angrily, "This man must be a spy sent by the enemy. He is here to confuse and disturb the public with his lies." My military spirit."
Having said that, he didn't understand that what the soldier said was by no means groundless. It was just that the battle on the city wall had reached a fever pitch. If the soldiers on the city wall knew that there was chaos in the rear, they would probably If the morale of the army is shattered, it will be all over by then, so he has to do this.
At this time, another general hurriedly ran up. General Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation now?"
Seeing General Li's deep voice, the general reacted immediately and reported in a low voice: "Sir, something bad has happened. More than a thousand Song troops suddenly appeared in the city."
"Where did they come from?"
"The general is not very clear either."
General Li frowned. Could it be that the Song army would really go to heaven and earth? However, he was not allowed to think about this at this time. He said urgently: "You should immediately lead your troops to stop them. Don't let them attack the city wall."
The man said: "They are not attacking here."
"Then where are they now?"
"They went straight to the east city gate."
"East---East City Gate?"
General Li blinked blankly. The opponent's main force was at the North City Gate. Why did they attack the East City Gate? Thinking of this, he suddenly turned pale with fright and said: "No---it's not good. There must be something in front of the East City Gate." There is an ambush, so quickly gather all the cavalry to stop them, and you must not let them open the east city gate."
"yes."
......．
Dongcheng people.
"Brothers, kill me!"
I saw a group of big men holding big swords and wearing various costumes, rushing towards the east city gate. The leader was none other than Xu Wei.
Because the soldiers from the East City Gate have just been transferred to fight at the North City Gate, the defense here is very empty. There are more than thirty people in front of the gate. Let alone go up to fight, they have no reaction. Where did this Song army come from? of?
"ah---!"
"ah---!"
As soon as these swordsmen and axemen came up, they chopped down all the thirty people in front of the door.
Xu Wei shouted anxiously: "Open the city gate first, and then lower the suspension bridge."
"yes!"
"rise---!"
More than ten people rushed to the city gate desperately and used all their strength to lift the heavy door bolt.
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hurry up and stop them."
Xu Wei turned around and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards them. He made a decisive decision to the person next to him: "Fu Ben, you quickly lower the suspension bridge and let General Yang enter the city. I will stop them."
He raised his arms and called out again: "Brothers, charge at me!" He led five hundred people with swords and axes in hand and rushed forward.
"ah---!"
Hearing Xu Weiwei's roar, he dwarfed and flew up with his sword, cutting off the front legs of the horse. The cavalryman immediately flew out and fell to death.
This is not paparazzi. This is the real Forbidden Army, and they all participated in the Kaifeng Defense War. They have nothing to fear in the face of the iron hoof of the Jin Army, let alone the Jiaozhi cavalry, and their most powerful ability is
The horse's legs were chopped off, and many cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another.
It's a pity that they were not wearing heavy armor. The other party also stabbed them one by one. In a moment, more than a hundred brothers fell into a pool of blood.
But even so, they refused to give in, regardless of their lives, and only focused on the horse's legs, relying on their flesh and blood to block the opponent's cavalry.
At this time, the city gate has been opened wide and the suspension bridge has been slowly lowered.
"No, there's an ambush."
The soldiers on the city wall suddenly looked ahead and shouted.
On the east path, a dark cavalry galloped towards them. The billowing dust and mist were approaching in an instant, and they were densely packed with at least two thousand people.
"Oh, it's that black-faced evil spirit."
A soldier looked at the white horse and black armor and the thick spear, and his face turned pale with fear. This man had just escaped from death near Taiping Village, and he still vividly remembers this black-armored general.
I saw Yang Zaixing leading the way, holding a spear, and before the suspension bridge had completely lowered, he jumped on the horse, with a pair of dark eyes under the mask, very gloomy.
"Kill!"
Xu Wei was overjoyed when he heard the loud sound of horse hooves behind him. He was dazed for a moment. He suddenly felt the wind of a knife blowing over his head. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the opponent's general sweeping his sword towards him. He shouted in his heart that something was not right.
A chill.
At this critical moment, a spear came across the air and pierced the enemy general's chest, leaving a huge hole.
It was too late, but soon, a white horse stopped beside Xu Wei at some point.
Xu Wei turned his head and looked up. Seeing that the person coming was Yang Zaixing, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, General Yang, for saving your life."
Yang Zaixing nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay. Xu Xianfeng is out of town. Leave this place to me. Hurry up and get people to guard the granary."
"yes."
Xu Wei immediately led his troops and left.
After Yang Zaixian spoke again, he mounted his horse and killed three more people, covering Xu Wei's retreat. He also ordered: "hurry up and fire the signal arrow."
Give the order.
The hundreds of cavalry archers behind him took out signal arrows and shot them into the sky.
Hundreds of arrows took off into the sky, and fireworks bloomed in the blue sky, lighting up the sky red.
……．
Outside the city, Niu Gao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the fireworks in the sky, and immediately ordered: "Blow the decisive battle horn quickly."
Dozens of trumpeters immediately blew their horns.
Buzz buzz!
The sound of the trumpet rolling in like a wave seemed to inject a new force into the soldiers who were fighting bloody battles in front.
"Kill!"
The Song army, which had been silent for a long time, became active again. With a burst of smoke and arrows, soldiers climbed up the ladder one after another. The dense rain of arrows covered the wall, covering their attack.
