Three hundred and seventieth chapters break the city
Chapter 371 The city is broken
The offensive and defensive battle at the west gate soon attracted Jin Tuhu's attention. When he came to the city gate, although he was neatly dressed, it could still be seen from his sleepy eyes that he was
Being woken up from a dream.
"General Yelu Minghui, what happened? What is the situation now?"
Yelu Minghui shook his head and said: "The opponent attacked at night, but we happened to be somewhat prepared, so we suppressed the opponent's inevitable first wave of offensive. However, there is still a gap between our military strength and the opponent, so the opponent still occupies the position
Upward."
Jin Tuhu asked worriedly: "Do you need reinforcements?" There are more than 50,000 defenders in the city, 18,000 cavalry, and the remaining 32,000. There are 7,000 here, 8,000 on the south wall, and 8,000 on the east wall.
There are three thousand soldiers on the front and north sides respectively. The remaining more than 11,000 soldiers are on standby in the center.
At this moment, a violent drumbeat suddenly came from the southern city wall. The fire was bright and the shouts of death were majestic, even more violent than those at the west gate.
Jin Tuhu laughed: "Haha, it turns out that the main attack direction of the Hetao army is at the south gate. Fortunately, His Highness the Prince reminded me just now, otherwise the general would have fallen into the Hetao's trick today. Someone, please have all the reserve teams go to the south gate immediately.
.”
Yelu Minghui was still a little worried, so he quickly grabbed Jin Tuhu and said, "General, wait a minute. The Hetao army has always been cunning. We cannot act rashly until we have clearly judged the enemy's situation."
Jin Tuhu was a little disapproving. The main attack direction of Hetao was obviously at the south gate. Since the shouts of killing came from the south gate, although the attack from the west gate was still as fierce as before, it was obviously to attract the attention of the defenders.
But Yelu Minghui was the coach in name only. Thinking of this, Jin Tuhu decided to send someone to the south gate to check the situation immediately.
The people who went there have not returned yet, but the defenders of the South Gate have sent people to ask for help: "General, the Hetao army has concentrated at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops and countless siege equipment, and is launching an attack on the South Gate without fear of death.
General Jinhaduo can no longer resist, and I hope you, General, can lead your troops to support immediately."
When Jin Tuhu heard this, he ignored Yelu Minghui who was beside him. He waved his hand and said directly: "Order all the reserve soldiers to gather towards the south gate. General Yelu Minghui, I will leave this place to you."
"You!" Yelv Bianhuang shouted angrily when he saw Jin Tuhu being so rude to his prince.
Yelu Minghui grabbed Yelu Bianhuang's arm fiercely, watched Jin Tuhu leave triumphantly, and then said in a deep voice: "Bianhuang, immediately order our cavalry to concentrate."
Yelu Bianhuang asked curiously: "Your Highness, are you preparing for a counterattack?"
Yelu Minghui shook his head: "No, we are preparing to retreat! Hetao never fights unprepared battles, and the leader is Dugu Yuming, who is best at attacking in Hetao. Tonight, I am afraid there will be more misfortune."
Yelu Bianhuang raised his eyebrows: "So where are our infantry and Jin Tuhu?"
"Don't forget, the other side also has 50,000 cavalry led by Xue Sha, one of the five generals in Hetao. If we are too greedy, I'm afraid none of them can escape. Moreover, how can we escape smoothly without anyone behind us?
"
Yelu Bianhuang stopped talking and was about to leave in a hurry. The shouts of killing under the city gate suddenly rose again, and the offensive that had started to decline outside the city gate increased again. He had not recovered yet.
Then I heard an extremely arrogant voice shouting from below the tower: "Hetao Dugu Yuming is here, who dares to fight with me?"
"General, they are coming out of the city. Looking at the formation, there may be thousands of them!" Yelv Bianhuang looked down at the dark heads under the tower and said anxiously.
"Jin Hada, you lead the army to resist first, and I will go immediately to dispatch reinforcements! Before my reinforcements arrive, you must hold on to the city wall!" Yelu Minghui shouted to the deputy general Jin Hada who was running towards him.
, regardless of the situation on the city wall, he took the lead in rushing down the city wall with his own soldiers. Seeing this, Yelu Bianhuang quickly followed. As for the top of the city wall, let this idiot from Haixi defend it.
Yelu Minghui and Hetao have not fought each other once or twice. Naturally, he knows that Hetao's offensive has always been continuous. Once bitten by the opponent, even if he does not die, he will shed a layer of skin. Dugu Yuming, who has rushed out of the city, is strangulating the city gate with all his strength.
For the nearby coalition forces, due to the fierce attack of the Hetao army just now, Yelu Minghui has mobilized most of his troops to the city wall. There are not many soldiers near the city gate now. It is impossible to block the internal and external attacks of the Hetao.
matter.
While Dugu Yuming's troops were still entangled with the coalition forces near the city gate, Yelu Minghui quickly bypassed the opponent's army and rushed to the military camp without hesitation. At this time, there were only 10,000 Mandan cavalry left in the military camp.
The five thousand cavalrymen in the west had been mobilized by Jintuhu just now near the south gate. Yelu Minghui did not hesitate, and regardless of the fighting in the city, he mounted his horse and led the Mandan cavalry towards the north gate.
There are enemy troops at the west gate and the south gate. Although there is no movement at the east gate and the north gate, there will definitely be an ambush on the other side. Sliding away towards the east gate is a good choice, but he, the great prince of Mandan, has to escape in the end.
There is no excuse for avoiding trouble on the territory of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Although it is harder in the north, there are still more than 100,000 Northeastern Allied Forces in Xuzhou City. As long as they can escape to Xuzhou, although they will lose some face, at least
There can also be an explanation.
Yelu Minghui was very lucky. The North Gate was originally the escape route specially reserved for him by Dugu and Xuesha. However, Xuesha did not expect that Yelu Minghui's reaction would be so fast. Ten thousand Mandan cavalry rushed out of you.
He fled to Xuzhou without hesitation at the north gate of the state. Zhu Shitan's five thousand cavalry were only deployed here. If they were to block it, they would not be able to stop Yelu Minghui's impact. However, Zhu Shitan followed him anyway.
The old subordinates who fought bloody battles outside the Great Wall and then moved to fight in southern Yunnan are naturally not fuel-efficient.
According to the instructions of Blood Kill, Zhu Shitan led the cavalry to bite Mandan's tail and pursue him one after another. Yelu Minghui only had 10,000 cavalry in his hands. He wanted to stop the counterattack, but the number was small and he was eaten by the opponent.
If they all stop, they will definitely be entangled by the other party. Who knows if the other party has a large group of cavalry following behind. In desperation, Yelu Minghui had no choice but to run away. He can't care so much now. Yes.
For him, as long as he can escape to Xuzhou, it is victory.
Yelum Minghui finally escaped. Zhu Shitan's cavalry chased him for more than 40 miles, killing at least three thousand fleeing Mandan cavalry with minimal losses. In fact, if Yelumming,
Hui directly left three thousand cavalry behind and was able to cause at least 1,500 cavalry casualties to Hetao. But Yelu Minghui didn't care about that much as he was running for his life. However, there was a surge in his heart.
It is unspeakable sadness. For decades, the Mandan army has always dominated the world and dared to fight no matter how strong the opponent was. However, now, it is actually being chased like ducks by half of the Hetao cavalry, whether they are generals or ordinary people.
The cavalry did not have the courage to stop and fight. Could the pride of the Mandan soldiers be ruined like this?
Yelu Minghui escaped, but the Jintuhu in Ruzhou City was not so lucky. Yelu Minghui and Yelu Bianhuang escaped with their cavalry, and the west gate faced a flanking attack from the Hetao army. Originally, the northeastern area near the city gate
There were not many soldiers, so Dugu easily opened the city gate from the inside. The Hetao cavalry who had been prepared did not hesitate anymore, and the galloping horses rushed into the Xuzhou City with high-pitched shouts of killing. The south gate
Upon seeing this, Zhou Jilong, who was nearby, stopped attacking by force. Instead, he mobilized his infantry to move to the west gate and quickly enter the city.
Jintuhu was shocked and lost the protection of the city wall. Even if the Haixi army could temporarily block the opponent's front, Hetao had an absolute advantage in strength after all. It would be a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated. The west gate had been breached, and inside the city
The defenders have lost their geographical advantage. Now the night is dark, and the whole city of Ruzhou is filled with shouts of killing one after another. Jin Tuhu can't tell what the current situation is.
Although the Hetao soldiers outside the south gate have depleted half of their troops and entered the city through the west gate, there are still more than 30,000 enemy troops here after all. The west gate is the main attack direction of the Hetao side. If you break out there, you may encounter the enemy as soon as you rush forward.
Cavalry. Although there is no movement at the north gate and east gate, who knows if there is an ambush in Hetao.
"General, break out quickly. The west gate has been lost. We can't stop the attack of the Hetao army at all." Jin Haduo said urgently. There are constant screams in the city, but they are basically the tones of soldiers outside the wall. Occasionally, they come.
The two different sounds were most likely the screams of the people in the city. Although Jin Hada, the Haixi guard at Ximen, was his biological brother, he didn't care about that much now.
Jin Tuhu gritted his teeth, and finally said harshly: "Pass this general's order, and the whole army will break out towards the east gate."
The east gate is still under the control of Haixi, and Jin Tuhu also has fifteen thousand Haixi infantry and five thousand cavalry, plus the three thousand defenders of the east gate, which is also a force that cannot be underestimated.
After leaving the east gate, if you are lucky, you can enter the Yangzhou Road area before the Hetao army outflanks you.
"Brother, the west gate and the north gate are already under our control. Although there is still some sporadic resistance, it is no longer harmful to the overall situation. Haixi General Jin Tuhu has led 5,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry from outside the east gate.
Breaking through, what do you think we should do now?" Long Zhishan ran up to Dugu and asked.
Dugu laughed loudly: "You don't need to worry about the Golden Earth Tiger at the east gate. The Blood Commander has ordered all the cavalry under his command to pursue him. The Golden Earth Tiger, haha, even if he is a native cat, there is no way he can escape from the hands of fifty thousand cavalry.
Escape. The mission for you and Zhou Jilong is to take down the four city walls and eliminate all remaining enemies. Then wait for orders from me and the Blood Commander!"
Speaking of this, Dugu's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. Long Zhishan understood and whispered: "Commander, are you ready?"
Dugu didn't speak. He just walked and watched the reactions of the people in the city. However, what surprised him was that the people in the city neither took the opportunity to kill the Northeast soldiers who were fleeing in all directions, nor closed the doors tightly.
Curious, he dared to watch the excitement. Dugu sighed in his heart, are these the people of the Celestial Dynasty who have accumulated thousands of years of culture and have been leading the civilization system of the entire continent? Why do they look like a group of mentally numb slaves?
Li Donggao followed Dugu closely and grunted: "Dugu Shuai, are you planning to massacre the city again?" After following Dugu for so long, he also knew what kind of virtue Dugu was.
Dugu smiled slightly: "Isn't it possible?"
Li Donggao said without fear: "Commander Du, these are my subjects of the Celestial Dynasty..."
"You said they are the people of our Heavenly Dynasty, can you tell me how they look like our people?" Xue Sha's voice suddenly came from the front. Li Donggao raised his head and happened to see a person from Xue Sha.
Carrying his huge butcher's knife, he walked out from a corner, followed by a green-robed scribe, who was the blood-killing marching commander Shi Youjisun.
In the Hetao military, Marching Chief Shi is mainly responsible for the generals' document delivery, intelligence compilation and battlefield discipline, etc., and also has a certain role in admonishing the generals. Haotian has two Marching Chiefs around him, after he regained Hetao.
Chen Han and Meng Xiaoting, famous scholars from Hetao, defected to Haotian. The one who was left alone was Chen Han's younger brother Li Donggao. The one who was killed was You Jisun, a scholar from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. The one who was worshiped was Pan Zhongcheng, a slave from Anxi Road.
Bian Zhongxing was accompanied by Peng Liangdong, who had followed him from the Xuanwu Legion. Only Xinke was never accompanied by the marching commander Shi. However, God originally assigned him Ge Zheng, a scholar from Jiangnan Road.
This Ge Zheng is a son of a famous family, and his teacher is Mr. Lu Qingliu, one of the four famous scholars in Qingfeng. However, Ge Zheng is extremely pedantic. In the words of the letter, his head is full of shit, and he spends all day doing it.
In his own ears, he talked nonsense about convincing people with virtue. During the campaign in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, Ge Zheng once saw Xin Ke ordering the massacre of the people of the three northeastern countries, and then he talked in Xin Ke's ear about conquering people with virtue.
He was furious when he said that humanities would rule the world and so on. He directly sent him as an envoy to Hekimur's camp to persuade Hekimur to retreat. Although Ge Zheng was pedantic, he was not pedantic to this extent. Naturally, he was
He didn't want to go. He didn't say anything after he wrote the letter. After returning to Hetao, he was thrown directly back to the Literature and History Mansion in Hetao to write an article.
Li Dong held his head high and said: "Do I need to say this anymore? They are originally my subjects of the Celestial Empire."
Dugu said disdainfully: "That's it? Then take a closer look, how do they look like my people of the Celestial Dynasty? These people are just a group of puppets who have lost their minds and backbone, they are the walking dead. The Holy Sect of Paradise and the Northeastern Allied Forces have successively
The rulers here raped, raped, and killed them, but they neither thought of resisting nor escaping, but they were willing to be each other's slaves here."
