The enemies faced by Yanjun, that is, the nomadic peoples on the grasslands, often crossed the Great Wall from the north or invaded from the west. Therefore, the Han army that attacked the south gate at that time did not encounter the iron gate to stop it.
The significance of the existence of the iron gate is naturally that it can be used as another barrier after the wooden city gate is knocked open. It can also be used to annihilate a small number of enemies after deliberately letting them into the city with superior force.
Obviously, what Dugu Xuda encountered now was the iron gate serving the latter purpose.
The iron gate fell, and the Northern Zhou cavalry was suddenly cut into three pieces.
In the dark streets, fire suddenly broke out, and figures emerged from the roofs. The sound of muskets suddenly sounded like fried beans from the streets, city walls and urn walls.
"Fell into a trap!" Duguxuda secretly screamed.
The next moment, bullets were coming like wind and rain, and the Northern Zhou cavalry almost fell off their horses. Swordsmen holding shields appeared at the end of the line of sight. They moved forward in neat steps, and the crossbowmen followed them closely.
The back is combined with archery suppression.
Many of the fallen soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still had the strength to fight, but the streets were not very wide. The dense arrows made it impossible for them to lift their heads. They could only use the piled up corpses of war horses to barely cover them. But even so, they could not even raise their heads.
It couldn't stop many arrows falling from the sky.
After the musketeers completed three rounds of shooting, they each fixed their bayonets and rushed into the street. The swordsmen and shield bearers even quickened their pace.
Being baptized by such a storm of muskets and arrows, and the Northern Zhou cavalry themselves had relaxed their vigilance, heavy losses were inevitable for a while, not to mention those who had died or were dying, almost everyone was slightly injured.
They were all there. The Han sabers, shield bearers and musketeers rushed forward, and dealing with them was almost as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
One of Dugu Xuda's legs was also broken. He listened to the gunshots, explosions and shouts outside the city gate, and then looked at the Han soldiers who were almost rushing in front of him, and he felt very angry.
Damn Yuwen Gong, he really didn’t defend this city!
"There is a big fish here!" shouted a sharp-eyed Han soldier.
Dugu Xuda roared loudly, used up his last bit of strength, waved his saber and rushed towards the Han army.
The sword and shield players were not polite to him. They raised their shields to block Dugu Xuda's slash, and then moved forward simultaneously, forcefully knocking away this guy who had trouble even walking. Dugu Xuda still wanted to swing.
Slashing with the sword, his actions completely angered the Han soldiers. The swords and swords were shouting at him. Soon his movements stopped and he fell to the sky.
The dream of a hero, separatist power, seems to be very close to him, but in an instant he is far away, and he cannot catch it.
Dugu Xuda closed his eyes, feeling the blood flowing away and life dissipating.
A sword and shield wielder kicked him, and when Dugu Xuda showed no reaction, he cut off his head.
The general has already said that among the big fish caught, Yuwen Gong and Cui Yanmu were already included. The heads of others are enough. The Han army does not have that much surplus food now. In fact, Luo Yi was also afraid of catching the Northern Zhou Dynasty alive.
After the generals, they would incite the prisoners to cause trouble. After all, there were thousands of prisoners who surrendered after this battle, and the number was even equal to that of the Han army. It would be really difficult to cause trouble.
The sound of gunfire inside and outside the city has gradually subsided. The iron gate rose again, and the Han army musketeers on the city gate entered the urn city to replenish their guns against the stubborn Northern Zhou cavalry. Most of these Northern Zhou cavalry were from Xianbei.
Surrender is unlikely, and there is no point in keeping it.
The soldiers of the Han army have already sent Dugu Xuda's head, which has been confirmed to be him.
Luo Yi took one look at the opponent and asked someone to take it away and seal it.
If this guy gets more training, he may be a good cavalry general. Unfortunately, his ambition is too big, but he doesn't have that much ability. Not to mention his father, he can be regarded as a hero, and none of them are as flamboyant as him.
.
These are no longer troubled times. With the war heading north, peace is about to come.
Cleaning the battlefield in Wengcheng was easier than in the city. This was also thanks to the thunder. After these gunpowder cans buried in the ground were ignited, the explosion was very powerful. Luo Yi was very lucky that he went to the warehouse specifically when he set off from the south.
I collected these things.
Hongtian Lei was almost developed together with Zhentian Lei, but it is a pity that this kind of thing that is buried in the ground and requires the enemy to come over to ignite and trigger it is really of no use. The current Han army is not defensive, but
It was an offensive across the board, and it was not the Han army's turn to set up an ambush for the Northern Zhou army.
Today is just a coincidence.
Luo Yi himself did not expect that this thing was quite powerful. Fortunately, he was smart at the time and did not bury this thing in the city. Otherwise, I am afraid that the houses on both sides would be overturned.
In addition to thundering thunder, Han soldiers also threw thundering thunder down from the city wall. Therefore, the Northern Zhou cavalry trapped in Wengcheng were the most unlucky. Many of them were already bloody. As for the remaining people outside the city, they were the most unlucky.
The six to seven hundred Northern Zhou cavalrymen should be the luckiest. The musketeers' focus was not on them, and they would lose dozens of cavalrymen in one round.
Now they obviously don't dare to get close to the city wall anymore. Without Dugu Xuda's command, they are just a piece of scattered sand. The Han army's Mo Dao team has circled around from the east and west directions of the city. With the sound of cannons, these Northern Zhou soldiers
The cavalry no longer had the courage to linger and decisively broke out and fled.
They were cavalry after all, and the Mo Dao team couldn't catch up with them, so they had no choice but to give up.
Although they only captured half of the enemy's cavalry in one fell swoop, Dugu Xuda, the general, and many of his subordinate generals and lieutenants were almost all killed. The remaining guys were useless at all, so they were sent to Changping County or Yuyang County.
No problem.
The lights of thousands of houses in the city lit up again, announcing that the battle ended with a complete victory for the Han army.
Luo Yi couldn't help but wonder, what would Dugu Yongye think when he knew the news?
————————————
When Luo Yi was rejoicing at the victory in Yanjun City, Li Jing and Niu Hong had already scolded this guy several times outside Yongguan Pass.
The navy's actions were so slow that they had not yet taken over Yanjun's side, and their feint attack outside Juyong Pass had probably been seen through.
After arriving at Juyong Pass, Li Jing and Niu Hong led their troops to attack the city non-stop. They set up artillery and fought hard. However, after a few rounds of bombardment, the Han army's attack seemed a little weak. After all, Li Jing could not possibly take the city.
All soldiers and horses are sent up.
The assault on the city, which is far different from the artillery bombardment, obviously aroused Dugu Yongye's suspicion. It stands to reason that you have already opened a hole in the city wall. Shouldn't the whole army be pressed in? Why are you still so weak?
As a result, this afternoon, Dugu Yongye tried to lead his army to fight through the gap, advancing all the way to a distance of only a dozen feet away from the artillery position.
