Chapter 259: Night Breaking Tuzhou Western Chu Army

It's night in Tuzhou.

Just after midnight, outside Tuzhou City, the sound of horse racing suddenly sounded.

The Western Chu army, which had just experienced a fierce battle, was quite vigilant, and there were many scouts outside the city.

Unfortunately, these scouts had no chance to escape and report the news.

When they got close to the city, there were scouts to warn them.

"Enemy attack!" A Western Chu army scout turned around and shouted.

Dozens of arrows flew towards him and shot him into a sieve, including man and horse.

The Xixi Chu army on the city wall began to be on guard.

"Dare you attack the camp at night?" The general of the Western Chu army came out of the camp after hearing this and went up to the city wall to prepare for the battle.

"Cavalry charging the city gate?"

Li Bin suddenly felt a little disdainful: "Which genius led this army?"

"Pour kerosene around the city gate to keep their horses away."

Li Bin was a veteran of Western Chu and was very experienced in defending the city. When the Tuzhou camp escaped, he was worried that the South City Gate might be attacked.

So, some things were prepared, including gravel, bows and arrows, and even kerosene, and they were all piled here in large quantities.

"Fire the arrow!" Li Bin ordered, the sergeant already in position.

Countless arrows were lost and instantly gathered into raindrops, falling into the oncoming cavalry formation.

The Western Chu sergeant who went up to the city wall also threw a jar of fire oil and it shattered at the city gate, and a torch was thrown down.

A fire immediately broke out outside the city gate, forcing the cavalry who rushed to the city gate to retreat.

It was also under the light of this fire that Li Bin saw clearly that the people coming turned out to be the Northern Liang Army.

"Have the reinforcements from Linzhou or Hanzhou arrived so soon?"

Li Bin didn't have too much doubt, after all, he knew that his opponent was Luo Yang's subordinate.

Luo Yang is so powerful, he naturally gave some instructions before leaving. It is not impossible for Beiliang's reinforcements to make a surprise attack at this time.

"It's a pity that you underestimated me, Li Bin. Although I am not on the list of famous generals, I am not someone you can manipulate at will."

Li Bin sneered and ordered: "Go and transfer the rest of the people to the South City Gate. The cavalry and soldiers will line up on the main street inside the South City Gate. Once they really break through the city gate, that will be the time for us to wait for our work."

"Yes." A messenger ran away quickly and took a few people to deliver the order to various places in the city.

outside the city.

Wei Ran, who led his army to rush to the city gate himself, saw a fire burning at the city gate and said with a smile: "This Li Bin was actually prepared for it."

After interrogating the defeated generals of the Tuzhou camp, Wei Ran and others naturally knew who the Western Chu sergeant was leading the troops in Tuzhou.

"Brother Zheng, it's your turn!"

"Look at me!"

Zheng Jun was wearing armor and carrying a basket of gunpowder bags. When his horse approached the line of fire, he suddenly turned and walked sideways, throwing the basket under the city gate.

There is no need to pull the strings or light the fire, Xi Chujun lit it himself.

"Spread out!" As Zheng Jun rushed over, Wei Ran chopped off a flying arrow and shouted to the people around him.

Due to the early warning, the soldiers responded quickly and were already retreating when they saw Zheng Jun rushing over to start.

At the same time, plug your ears with the paper you had prepared and open your mouth.

"Run away now?" On the city wall, Li Bin looked at the cavalry in front reining in their horses and starting to separate from the city gate, as if they were about to withdraw. Li Bin was immediately disdainful.

That's it?

"boom!"

Then Li Bin heard the loudest thunder he had ever heard in his life.

The city wall swayed, and Li Bin also swayed. Then he suddenly felt dizzy and fell backwards.

Outside the city, many war horses were overturned. Zheng Jun was also thrown off his horse and took a big mouthful of mud.

"Oh my God, the dosage is too much. No wonder the general always reminds me that the dosage should not be too high." Zheng Jun shook his head, feeling sore all over his body, and felt helpless that he could not participate in the subsequent battle.

However, he looked along the city gate and happened to see the huge city gate, which had broken away from the city wall and collapsed.

There were two city gates, one fell down and the other was half broken and still hung on the city wall.

But a huge hole has appeared, and the missing half door no longer has any meaning.

"Charge!" Wei Ran laughed, raised the command flag, and took command personally.

"Haha, kill!" Sun Yi mingled in the crowd, wearing the Beiliang armor of an ordinary sergeant, smiling heartily.

"Brothers, military glory is coming!" Lin Bei also laughed, leading the Yulin Army to the front.

The Western Chu army in the city was suddenly stunned.

"How is it possible?" The city wall collapsed so easily, which was completely unexpected. The Tuzhou city gate was very thick, and the siege hammer would have taken at least an hour to smash it.

But as soon as the enemy's leading troops rushed to the city gate, the city wall collapsed?

Looking at the enemy troops that had poured into the south gate, the faces of the Xichu soldiers turned pale.

The soldiers who had just been sent by Li Bin to deliver military orders had not yet arrived. The Western Chu army was completely unprepared to face this torrent of steel.

"Kill -" The stunned soldiers of Western Chu, before they could recover, were awakened by a cry of killing. Before they had time to defend themselves, they were shot dead by the "Beiliang Army" with an arrow.

"The Beiliang Army has entered the city!" The sergeant on the city wall who had not yet fainted shouted loudly.

"General, what should we do?"

A sergeant looked at Li Bin and saw Li Bin lying on the city wall. He almost fell into the city and hung on the gap in the city wall.

"Go and call for help!!" Some soldiers fought back.

However, most of the Western Chu army, which was still being repaired, was resting in the camp before there was a military order, and there were not many soldiers guarding the city.

There is no problem with this arrangement, because even if there are only a few hundred soldiers guarding the city, it is enough to guard the city for more than several hours, and then there will be no time to mobilize troops.

But they don't know that times have quietly changed. Not only do they not understand the power of new weapons, they don't even know about their existence.

"Kill!" Wei Ran roared back and forth on horseback, carrying a spear.

Lin Bei was even more brave, leading the soldiers of the Yulin Army like chopping melons and vegetables.

Both of them were influenced by Sun Yi. They had seen Sun Yi's bravery before, and they both did not want to be at a disadvantage, so they wanted to regain their place on the battlefield.

As for Sun Yi...

He could no longer see anyone. Although he entered the city later than the Yulin army, he led his troops deep into the city to kill Xingxing.

It's like the god of war has come to the world, with no enemy at his disposal.

"Why isn't he on the master list?" Lin Bei was depressed and confused when he saw how fierce Sun Yi was. He felt that such a strong man might be on the list.

"Maybe it will be on the list next year, haha." Wei Ran laughed. He had never heard of the legend of Sun Yi's bravery. After seeing it a few times, he really admired it.

Sun Yi may not have much strategy, but his momentum in leading troops into battle and his battlefield martial arts skills are truly remarkable.

"Kill, try not to leave anyone alive!" Wei Ran ordered.

The soldiers also understood that this time was not for military glory, but because they did not want to be seen as a fake. If there were more people who survived, it would be easy to leak.

Although everyone can react to this kind of thing afterwards, no excuses can be given during the process.

"Leave a group of people behind, and the rest will follow Sun... ahem, follow the brothers in front, and rush into the camp of the Western Chu Army!"

"kill……"

The cry of killing was like a plague, starting from the south of the city and spreading throughout the city.

By the time the army reached the center of the city, all the Western Chu troops in the city had completely reacted.

However, they had already lost the initiative and were attacked at night by breaking the city. Seeing the broken troops fleeing from the front, the Western Chu army, which had not yet faced them, became timid before fighting.

"Don't run away!" The general who supervised the battle beheaded a Western Chu soldier with one sword, but he could not stop the rout in front.

Seeing the large group of cavalry rushing in, all dressed in the uniform of the Beiliang Army and wearing Beiliang knives, I immediately felt that the Beiliang Army was counterattacking.

"Why don't they use the Northern Liangdao instead of the Summer Spear and the Summer Halberd?"

Someone had this thought, but the next moment, a flying arrow pierced him.

As soon as the cavalry and archery came out, no one immediately doubted that this was not the Northern Liang Army.

"Quickly organize a counterattack and block them in the alley. Don't let their cavalry take advantage!" A large number of Western Chu troops reacted and dragged the battle into a street battle.

As long as the horses can't run, the cavalry has no big advantage. In such a narrow place, it is easy to become the target of archers.

"If they are willing to be trapped in a back alley, let them stay there. Don't rush in and leave people behind to block the entrances and exits while others go to kill the rest of the Chu army!" Wei Ran did not give the Western Chu army a chance and ordered the alley to be blocked.

Don't let the army passively enter street fighting.

I don’t have the advantage of cavalry. Do you think I’m stupid to play street fighting with you?

"Let the rear army come, set a fire, and burn this place down to see if they can get out!" When Lin Bei rushed over, he ordered this when he saw what happened.

"General's clever plan!" Zheng Jun finally felt better and led people in. "We seized some kerosene at the gate of the city and returned it to them!"
