Chapter 560 The city is broken(1/2)
The generals Huangfusong left behind were of good quality. They were not unprepared for enemy attacks, but rather prepared.
The officers and generals had considered in advance what to do if the enemy attacked and besieged the government office after breaking the city. Therefore, they had prepared some ladders in the camp for the archers to climb the walls and counterattack during the defense.
Because he was prepared, Guan Yu had just surrounded the government office. Not long after, the officers and soldiers immediately brought up the ladder for use.
If not, I would have hurriedly looked for a ladder in the middle of the night, where would I find it?
It's a pity that a good general can't compare with the wisdom of the Zhuozhou army.
The response of the officers and soldiers was extremely fast. However, the ladder came quickly. Before it reached the bottom of the wall and the crossbowmen had not climbed up the wall, the Zhuozhou Saber and Shield Soldiers jumped in first. The crossbowmen, who had no sharp weapons in their hands, were met with howling screams.
The warriors with swords and shields were killed, and those who were killed fled in disorder.
The Zhuozhou Army's troop deployment was so fast. With the shield bridge as a support, the soldiers outside the wall crossing the shield bridge were like crossing a smooth road. The troop deployment was so fast that even one person could rush to the top of the wall and jump off the wall without even taking five breaths.
In the courtyard, the fighting was fierce, and soldiers on both sides were losing their lives every moment.
However, the troops released by the two shield bridges on the left and right were faster than the soldiers of Zhuozhou died in battle. In an extremely fast time, the troops were continuously accumulated, and the number of swordsmen and shield soldiers quickly reached more than thirty. The officers and generals were there
They were fighting on the front line, with blood splattered all over their bodies, eight wounds on their bodies, and a long sword in their hands full of cuts.
A hook came from the side, and the officers and generals raised their swords to block it.
Ping!
The intersection of weapons.
After the Zhuozhou saber and shield warrior swung his sword, he hooked and pulled to the side, trying to lift the sword of the general and the general, but the general took a step back and got away.
As soon as he took a step back, a halberd was thrown from the side. His eyes only saw a black shadow flashing, and he couldn't avoid it. His arm was wounded by the flying halberd with a pop.
The officers and generals who were so excited about the killing hurriedly took a look and saw that there were no one of their own on the left and right, and they were all enemy soldiers.
After vigorously slashing with his sword and rushing out of the encirclement, the officers and generals shouted at the defeated officers and soldiers behind them, "Retreat! Return to the school field!"
The defeated officers and soldiers received the order and retreated hastily, abandoning the front yard.
Zhuozhou's sword and shield warriors were in hot pursuit.
At the door, there was a creak and the door was opened from the inside.
The door-breaker prepared in advance was of no great use.
Although several strong warriors carried heavy wooden stakes and banged them, they soon bent the thick door bolt, and the door was about to be breached. However, they still took a step slowly and did not wait for the outside door to open.
After breaking the door, the sword and shield warriors inside had already defeated the officers and soldiers and opened the door from the inside.
It's hard to say whether this is because the shield bridge is too useful or because the door breaker is inefficient.
As soon as the gate opened, the Zhuozhou Army troops swarmed in, shouting to kill.
——
In the school ground, where the army camp was located, hundreds of soldiers in the camp were all awakened. Most of the soldiers were stunned, they rushed over after hastily touching their weapons, and gathered around their generals.
The officers and generals who were covered in blood were all driven to a feverish state of mind by killing them, but there was still a bit of calmness left.
After returning to the school grounds and having a slight respite, the officers and generals did not immediately counterattack with their men, but instead ordered them to garrison on the spot.
"The spearmen are in the middle, the shield soldiers are on the left and right, and the crossbowmen are on the roof! Hurry!"
The officer general wiped the blood from his face and shouted at the panicked soldiers.
With this roar, the officers, soldiers, and soldiers who were running around like headless flies immediately became somewhat orderly and began to move.
Not long after, in the school grounds, as the officers and soldiers were hurriedly setting up their positions, shouts of killing approached from the front yard. A group of officers and soldiers were killed and retreated. The enemy troops followed closely and pursued them into the school grounds.
In the school grounds, the officers and soldiers took up their positions. In the lead, the officers and generals whose armor was torn and covered in blood were holding their swords tightly, staring coldly at the retreating troops, without offering any support.
Until a large group of people from Zhuozhou Army chased him close, shouting to kill Zhentian, the generals took a step back and retreated into the spear formation behind them. They waved their long swords in their hands and shouted angrily, "Gun formation! Stab!"
"Roar!"
There was a chorus of roars.
Even though they were scattered and scattered, the spear formation was still a spear formation. Dozens of spearmen roared in unison and thrust their spears forward at the same time.
The Zhuozhou saber-shield warriors, who were charging like a rainbow, collided head-on with the gun array. The momentum of the attack came to an abrupt halt, and several people were stabbed to death on the spot.
All stabbed in one go.
"Roar!" The officers and gunmen roared together again, stepped forward with force, their footsteps crackled on the ground, put their guns back, and thrust out again.
Zhuozhou's soldiers charged too hard, and those behind pushed against those in front. The swordsmen and shield soldiers in the front row couldn't dodge, and two more soldiers were knocked over by the gun array.
The scattered Zhuozhou saber and shield warriors could not stand up to the force of the spear formation and had to retreat.
"Roar!"
The officers and soldiers roared again, stepped forward, took a step forward, and stabbed with their spears.
"Roar!"
…
"Roar!"
…
Amid the roars, the spear array took a step forward, roared, and stabbed with their spears. They pressed forward step by step, knocking the Zhuozhou Saber and Shield Soldier back.
As expected after the attack on Nanluan City, during the siege, the siege wall was a separate part, while the attack inside the city was a chaotic battle plus formation battle.
The messy houses in the city were the scene of chaotic fighting, but open areas such as alley intersections were enough to accommodate spear formations and even cavalry formations.
If the attacking party rushes too hastily after breaking through the gate, and a scattered group rushes in, if the enemy's tight formation of spears or cavalry rushes in, even though the scattered soldiers have the momentum of breaking through the city, no matter what,
Opponents who are not well-organized enemy troops will be pushed back by a wave of force.
Li Mengxi knew when he was in Nanluan City that after the city was breached, when the army entered the city, they should form a tight formation to suppress the enemy and not disperse to chase the enemy.
Not long after that, now, Li Mengxi's guess has come true.
Zhuozhou's saber-shield warriors fought too smoothly, moving smoothly. They first broke through the front yard, then opened the gate, and then ran after the officers and soldiers. As a result, they were too brave, but lacked restraint and prudence. They did not move forward in a steady formation, so they ran into each other.
The enemies who were waiting in formation on the school grounds were immediately pushed back.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This negligence of the Zhuozhou Army led to their defeat head-on. As a result, the morale of the officers and soldiers who were originally low in morale and panicked greatly improved, and they were likely to turn defeat into victory.
But, that’s it.
Just as the officers and soldiers were about to counterattack, suddenly a centurion, covered in blood and in embarrassment, rushed to the side of the officers and generals, "General, something bad is going on. The back door is surrounded and I can't get out!"
Long panic.
The officers and generals looked at the centurions under their command, their eyes widened, and they were instantly shocked.
At this time, the officers and generals suddenly realized that their side might be surrounded!
Since the enemy can block the back entrance, why can't they break in through the back entrance? In no time, you will be attacked from both sides.
The expressions of the officers and generals changed several times, and then the military order changed and they hurriedly ordered, "Retreat! Stop pursuing us!"
Originally about to order a counterattack, but realizing that the enemy might be coming from behind, the officers and generals temporarily changed their minds and ordered to defend on the spot so as not to scatter their troops.
The officers and soldiers' instinctive counterattack came to an abrupt halt.
Afterwards, the Zhuozhou saber and shield warriors, whose offensive was slightly weakened, reorganized and formed a formation with spears and rifles to press again.
The school grounds are also surrounded by high walls, and the soldiers of the Zhuozhou Army who have cleared most of the buildings have formed a siege to surround the school grounds.
Dozens of shield bridges were erected against the wall again. Zhuozhou soldiers stepped on the shield bridges and easily climbed up the high wall, which was as high as two people, and jumped in bravely one by one.
The officers and soldiers in the school field were immediately surrounded by enemies. Most of the Zhuozhou Army formed a formation in front of them and pressed against them. On the surrounding high walls, the Zhuozhou soldiers kept jumping in to attack and kill.
After a while, the officers and soldiers still had a vague formation that looked like a square formation. Under threats from all sides, the formation was gradually suppressed into a circular formation.
The situation of the war is falling apart.
The surrounded officers and soldiers were in danger.
Amidst the gunfire and gunfire, in the formation of the army, the officers and generals shouted and encouraged the crowd, fought bravely, and encouraged them to maintain their morale.
Outside the formation, Guan Yu let go of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, held a bow in his hand, and picked up a Wufen Mingdi. He opened the bow eight points full, put the Mingdi on it, and aimed at the head of the general. He released his hand, and the bowstring sounded with a bang.
An arrow flew out without a sound.
The arrow hit the general on the side of his forehead, and hit his forehead with a loud bang before falling.
The officers and generals felt a pain in their foreheads and were blinded on the spot by an arrow.
Guan Yu shouted, "You have been defeated, why not surrender as soon as possible!"
All the soldiers also shouted, "Why don't you surrender early, and those who surrender will avoid death!"
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
…
The shouts of surrender were deafening, and the officers and soldiers were shocked. Immediately, some people dropped their weapons, and their weapons clattered to the ground.
Most people, with their eyes in a hurry, looking left and right, are on the verge of giving up.
"Don't surrender!" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the generals of the army and the army replied angrily, "There is no reason for an official to surrender a thief! You must fight to the death, how can you surrender to the thief! If you don't surrender, I will never surrender!"
