Chapter eight hundred and forty seventh Yu Chikuan's helplessness
Looking at the Bashu soldiers who had already swarmed the city, Yuchikuan, who was in charge of the command, changed his expression. The arrangement tonight was that Yuchikuan was in charge of the west of the city, Yuchishun was in charge of the east of the city, and Cao Xiaoda should be in the middle to provide support, although he never thought that the enemy would be there.
At this time to launch an attack, these most basic preparation measures are still in place.
It's a pity that Cao Xiaoda can't be contacted at all now. Standing on the top of the city, you can only see the pillar of fire in the north of the city. It is this pillar of fire that lights up half of the sky. It not only consumes the food that the Northern Zhou army relied on as a barrier.
, and also burned the confidence and courage of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Compared to the daytime, the resistance of these soldiers was weaker at night. These were all new-shift soldiers, so there was no so-called fatigue from long battles, but because they no longer had the determination to persevere.
An isolated city can stand firm in the wave of enemies. In addition to having a great relationship with the general, it is also inseparable from the support of food, equipment, etc., especially when facing an opponent like Li Xingchen.
Several of the generals were considered defeated by Li Xingchen, so without this strong city and sufficient food and grass, these soldiers would not have persisted. I think Cao Xiaoda and Yuchishun also knew this very well.
It's just that Yuchikuan couldn't find these two people at this time. The pressure Yuchishun faced at the east gate should be almost the same as here, so Yuchikuan could understand it, but even if Cao Xiaoda couldn't send reinforcements at this time, he still couldn't.
At least someone should be contacted to inquire about the situation. Why is there no movement at all?
Yuchikuan only felt that his hands and feet were cold. Although he had been in the army for a long time, his mission had always been to guard the rear. He never thought that one day he would have to face such a dangerous situation, and he felt a little confused for a while.
Chen Zhishen's general flag once again appeared at the top of the city, but compared to the last time, almost no one could stop him this time. Groups of Northern Zhou soldiers looked at the Bashu soldiers coming up, and they no longer thought about moving forward.
Drive them off the top of the city, but how can you let your companions stand in front and take advantage of this opportunity to escape?
The pillar of fire rising in the city undoubtedly told them that Xiangyang City could not be defended!
"Cao Xiaoda is dead, the north gate has been broken, everyone run away!" At this moment, shouts suddenly came from the streets below. Several Northern Zhou soldiers ran in a hurry, while a group of Northern Zhou soldiers retreated from the city wall.
The soldiers and horses immediately fell into panic, and many people ran wildly following these "companions" who were supposed to be "well-informed".
No matter where you go, at least you can't stay here.
On the city wall, Yuchikuan soon heard the shouts from below. He frowned subconsciously and looked towards the central part of the city. There were only dots of firelight there. He didn't know what was going on, but Yuchikuan felt that
I should believe this, after all, Cao Xiaoda really hasn't kept in touch with me for a while.
Maybe the enemy really broke through from the north gate and killed Cao Xiaoda who was caught off guard.
This made Yu Chikuan feel cold and cold from behind.
Although he was very reluctant, Yu Chikuan had to admit the fact that Cao Xiaoda was the core leader of the entire Xiangyang City. Once Cao Xiaoda was in any danger, the blow to the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would be devastating.
"General, let's break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. At least there is no news from the east, and there are no enemies in the south." Several generals gathered around anxiously.
It was inevitable that the battle situation was uncontrollable. As Chen Zhishen rushed to the city head first, Li Xun, Zheng Kaiyuan and other generals were also scrambling to launch an attack. Looking at the entire city wall, there were far more flags of the Bashu army than the Northern Zhou army.
At this time, Chen Zhishen was still advancing along the city wall in the direction of the upper city trail. It is conceivable that once the entrance and exit of the upper city trail fell into Chen Zhishen's hands, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the city wall could only go in the direction of the north gate or the south gate.
Retreating without knowing how many enemies there are and what happened is absolutely a complete adventure. More importantly, the soldiers below the city will also lose contact with the city, which will only make everything worse.
confusion.
Yuchikuan was unable to do anything. Although his flags were still flying, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had long ignored these flags in the darkness. For them, escaping was obviously the most important thing now. Yuchikuan sighed deeply.
, he knew that he was not Cao Xiaoda, or even his brother Yuchishun. If these two people were here, they might be able to give these people the courage to continue fighting, but he could only watch them defeat.
"Let's go to the city." Yuchikuan sighed, "Let's go to the south gate first."
At the same time, not far away, Chen Zhishen kicked away a Northern Zhou soldier who was blocking the way. The Northern Zhou soldier did not want to fight with Chen Zhishen, but just ran into him in a panic while running for his life. Seeing that Chen Zhishen had no intention of settling a score with him, the three of them
The next five and two escaped into the darkness. Chen Zhishen just glanced at this guy who was just a small fish and shrimp in his eyes with his peripheral vision, and then his eyes fell on the city gate in front of him.
With the help of the firelight, he saw Yu Chikuan's flag. He didn't expect that the rumored young master would still have the courage to persist until now. However, seeing that his flag began to move to the south, he must have fled. In this situation,
The Northern Zhou army had been defeated, and it was not easy to organize a counterattack.
"Let's go, catch up!" Chen Zhishen yelled and rushed towards the south gate first, while many soldiers behind him swarmed up.
At this time, at the east city gate, Yuchi Shun might be facing a better situation than Yuchi Kuan. After all, Chun Yuliang's attack could not be compared with the attack personally commanded by Li Xinchen. This was mainly because Chun Yuliang fought under Li Xinchen for the first time.
, of course he will not try his best, otherwise if he is cheated by Li Xinchen, he will have no place to complain.
Therefore, during the first attack on the city during the day, Li Xingchen's troops achieved the first victory. If Li Xingchen had not insisted on retreating, the results might have been greater. However, in comparison, although Chun Yuliang also launched an attack,
But in the end, the city wall was not even broken through. The two sides fought along the city wall for a long time. When he learned that Li Xingchen had ordered a retreat, Chun Yuliang hurriedly brought back his troops.
But even so, after seeing the fire in the city, Chun Yuliang knew that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise he might not get any credit at all, and he might not have a good impression on Li Xingchen.
