Now that I think about it, He Mai is extremely lucky.
When people ran towards the city gate, there was not a single Qin soldier resisting in the south city tower. All Di Qin's brothers were controlled by Li Dalian and ordered not to resist.
Occasionally there are a few flying arrows, but they are all just for show.
When Wang Shilang came to the same door, everything changed. Not only were his companions gone, but many Qin soldiers came to the scene.
Good guy!
All of them, their eyes were red and bloodshot.
Looks like he wants to eat people!
Where is He Mai?
Where did the people who should have been fighting here long ago go?
Of course you are not running away from the battlefield!
I just rushed to the city in advance!
If you want to find support from others now, it will be beyond your reach!
Zhang Hao led his soldiers and horses and rushed to the corner tower of Nancheng. He saw the open door at a glance and immediately became anxious!
Just open the door, you can't just open it without any scruples!
This, what does this make Zhang Hao, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, and the people in the city think? Do you still need any dignity?
Captain Li: What’s so shameless, that’s not what I have to consider at all!
Without further ado, the first thing Zhang Hao did when he arrived at the South City Tower was to order the soldiers to climb up the tower and close the city gate!
Although you can't change the current situation, you can still do something as small as closing the door.
Closing the city gate can be regarded as the simplest and most feasible way to solve the current problem. Internally, it can achieve the situation of closing the door and beating the dog. Externally, it can block the continuous flow of Jin troops into the city.
As long as there is such a time difference, Qin Bing may still be able to re-establish the defense line.
Moreover, there is another thing, Zhang Hao is very confident.
That is the issue of total military strength.
Even if the South City Gate is wide open and there is no obstruction, the total strength of the Jin army on the South City side is only five or six thousand people.
You know, they have more soldiers and horses in Beicheng. This is what Zhang Hao saw with his own eyes. Even if these people come all over, they will not surpass Zhang Hao.
On the other hand, as for the Qin soldiers, although Zhang Hao's pursuit was a step too late, the troops he led were quite sufficient.
This is just one aspect. On the other hand, there are still a lot of Qin soldiers guarding the city. These people are not dead. Seeing that the Jin troops have entered the city, you can't remain indifferent!
There are Zhang Hao's men outside the city and Qin soldiers guarding the city. It is not impossible to beat the dogs behind closed doors!
However, for all of this to succeed, it is much more difficult than direct confrontation. Timing, luck, the wisdom of the general who leads the troops, and the courage of the soldiers are almost all indispensable.
However, how many Qin soldiers do they have now?
When Zhang Hao arrived at the South City Tower, he discovered that there were not many Jin troops left outside the city, and there was not a single soul to be found on the city tower that was supposed to be fighting the enemy bravely and bustling with people.
He was temporarily discouraged and pinned his hopes on closing the city gate. As long as this could be accomplished, great things might still be possible!
However, can the seemingly defenseless city gate be closed so easily?
The matter of closing the city gate is related to the overall situation of the entire war. Zhang Hao is very concerned about it. Of course, he must send the most trustworthy and capable people around him to handle this kind of matter.
Who else could it be?
Of course, only Cheng Jing can take on the important task!
At this time, it can be said that it is quite safe outside the South City Tower, and it can even be called quiet.
The Jin army fought with a time lag. Similarly, when the Qin army arrived, the Jin army failed to stop it.
It was precisely because He Mai rushed into the city with his troops and horses that few Jin troops were left, and before Wang Mi from the rear could catch up, Zhang Hao's troops arrived.
Seeing the empty south gate, Cheng Jing was surprised and happy.
He quickly brought hundreds of soldiers and rushed into the city gate!
Just rush in!
The city gate is closed!
The Jin army is finished!
As for whether the Jin army will really be doomed, no one cares. In short, it is good to have such a hot cupping pot to hold.
In order to achieve his goal as quickly as possible, Cheng Jing did not bring too many troops. According to his estimate, a hundred men would be enough.
As long as some people can hold a stalemate with the Jin army under the city, and the rest send a few people to close the city gate, as for what the future situation will be like, it is not something he needs to consider now, and he cannot consider it at all.
With this idea in mind, Cheng Jing led his soldiers and horses into Nancheng. At the beginning, the whole process was very smooth, with few obstacles encountered.
Of course there will be no obstacles.
On the side of the Jin army, those who could enter the city have already entered the city. They are afraid that they will be a step late. What about the Qin army?
Not to mention that!
Although there are still a few Qin soldiers scattered outside the city, will they attack their Paoze brothers?
It's one thing to surrender, but it's another thing to kill your own brother. Everyone has a basic bottom line.
Perhaps, for this wave of people who have surrendered, they are the most nervous at this moment. Those in the city and some Jin troops can help cover them, but they are just remnants, how can they resist?
Can withstand the attack of the Qin army's troops!
Now, in the eyes of the remaining soldiers, they may still be brothers. Although the camps are different, that is only temporary.
Over the long years, they have been the closest people.
However, in the eyes of the Qin soldiers led by Zhang Hao, these remnant soldiers scattered outside the city were definitely traitors!
What a heinous crime!
Therefore, when the two parties encounter each other, there is no need to make other imaginations. Those are all redundant, because the Qin soldiers have already proved their thoughts with their actions.
The long swords were swung, the spears were not idle, the condescending cavalry, and the infantry who bravely stepped forward, surrounded a few unlucky ones in an instant.
Next, those who have guns should use their guns, and those who have knives should not hesitate. Do we still need to carefully explore the fate of these remnant soldiers?
With a faint wail, their lives disappeared into the turbulent air of Yecheng.
Has anyone ever noticed them?
Has anyone ever cared about them?
As rebels, did they deserve their own fate?
Perhaps, there was still a possibility that they could be rescued, but it was these weakest soldiers who died, and behind the tower, surrounded by Jin troops, the one who was extremely safe was Li Dalian himself.
As the number one hero, the Jin army officers would not harm him, and would even give him a promotion. Although these things would not be officially implemented until he returned to Jiankang, his end would not be bad.
And what about the Qin Bing brothers?
Some people were extremely grateful to him. This was no problem. Captain Li led them to surrender in advance. According to the current battle situation, the final victory must belong to the Jin army.
Following the Jin army now would be tantamount to embracing the right thigh.
Casualties are always inevitable, after all, this is a battlefield, but in the end, more people will definitely survive.
By then, not everyone will be able to eat and drink, so there will be no delay.
Of course, there were many people who opposed it, but when Li Dalian made the suggestion at the beginning, these people did not dare to jump out and really oppose it. It can be seen that they were not firm in their hearts.
As for these dissatisfied people, as long as they do not collude with the Qin soldiers on the spot (although they can do so now), what kind of results they will have in the future cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
However, one thing is certain.
At least, by doing so, their chances of survival will be greater.
For these Qin soldiers who had shrunk into the city, they could not care less about the lives of their few brothers outside the city.
The Qin soldiers led by Cheng Jing defeated their comrades without a single blow. A moment ago, they were all close brothers who shared the same hatred, but at this time, their mutual stances had fundamentally changed.
Although these Qin soldiers were vicious in their actions, they did nothing wrong in terms of ethics on the battlefield. Punishing traitors is what any army would do.
If we don't do this, this army may not be able to stand on its own!
After completing this step, the Di and Qin brothers officially marched into the city. After the fight just now, the morale of the Qin soldiers has been improved to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent.
When they rushed into the city gate, they discovered that everything in front of them was not what they imagined.
The situation in front of me...is really...
too……
It’s smooth!
how can that be possible?
When the Qin soldiers rushed into the inner city of Ye City in high spirits and were about to start a killing spree, they found that there was no place for heroes to show their talents!
There is a kind of despair that you feel when you raise your knife.
In the vast area between the gate of Yecheng and the gate of Wengcheng, there was not even a single soldier!
There are neither Qin troops nor Jin troops!
Perhaps it should be more accurate to say that it is not that there are no soldiers at all, there are still a few. But when they saw the Qin soldiers' surprise attack, they either greased their feet and jumped into the inner city, or they quickly ran away to support the wall, and even stopped for a moment.
Don't dare.
This is too strange!
What was strange was not only the Qin soldiers, but also the Jin army. How could such an army with such high ambitions and determination to capture Yecheng suddenly disappear after entering the city?
Creaking, creaking...
"Team leader!"
"Oh no!"
"The city gate is closed!"
The soldiers screamed, and the city gate in their mouths did not only refer to the big gate of Yecheng, but also the small gate of Wengcheng in front of them!
Almost at the same time, countless Jin troops appeared on the city tower, and the small gate of the Wengcheng that seemed to be easily captured was also artificially closed.
Of course, the Jin soldiers on the tower were not idle either. They worked hard with their hands and feet and rolled up the big rope noose as thick as two fingers. Then, the gate guarding the south corner of Yecheng was closed abruptly!
Jin army!
Could it be that they are friendly forces?
They actually completed the task that the Qin soldiers had not had time to complete and closed the city gate. Isn't this the task Zhang Hao gave to Cheng Jing?
Shouldn't Cheng Jing be happy that he still has a bunch of soldiers?
However, not only Cheng Jing, but also the Qin soldiers behind him couldn't laugh at all. Not only could they not laugh, they couldn't even find a hint of laughter!
What's happening here?
Seeing the Jin soldiers suddenly appearing on the tower, Cheng Jing suddenly panicked!
These people have bright eyes, and they all hold long bows, pointing their arrows directly at the Qin soldiers below the tower!
Everyone is like this!
Where did these people come from?
It was clear that there was no one there just now, Cheng Jing could not remember wrongly, the moment he stepped into the city gate, he had looked up and saw that the city tower was indeed empty.
But in such a short period of time, people suddenly appeared on the originally empty tower, not just a few, but dozens of people!
Not only was the big city gate in front of them closed, but the Wengcheng gate behind them was also tightly closed. All the soldiers who followed Cheng Jing into the city could neither escape from the city nor attack the inner city.
"What does it mean?"
"Team leader, what should we do?"
The soldiers were anxious, and various discussions gradually emerged. The patrolling horses' hooves also represented their panic.
They are so scared!
This group of Jin troops is so powerful that they seem to be inhuman. But what about the Qin troops?
They had always been brave and brave, but when they saw the violent fighting power of the Jin army, they had only one thought: it was not surprising at all that the brothers were still mortal bodies after all.
The city gates on both sides could not be moved. In Cheng Jing's confused mind, a word suddenly appeared: close the door and beat the dog!
Originally, they wanted to imprison the Jin army and fight on their own, but unexpectedly, they were defeated by an army.
"Fire the arrow!"
I don’t know who shouted this, but it must have come from the tower. In an instant, countless arrow clusters flew down from the tower.
Not only that, at the crenellations of the barbican, artillery pieces were thrown out one after another, and each one was lit on fire!
Bang bang bang!
The artillery exploded in front of the Qin soldiers, and soon after, the Qin soldiers fell down one after another under the witness of the two city gates.
"Well done!"
"here you go!"
After a round of attacks, He Mai suddenly appeared on the tower. His usual smooth smile was actually a little more calm and firm.
He is more heroic and bold. It can be said that he is now a pure man!
He is a determined warrior!
Just when Wang Mi and the others were struggling with how to free themselves, He Mai led his troops and marched straight in.
With the help of Li Dalian, the soldiers in the city had already put down their weapons. It can be said that He Mai did not encounter any obstacles and easily crossed the barbican city.
Just as he was about to attack Huanglong, General He stopped.
In front of him, a large city gate separated by several feet was almost opposite to a small winding arch in front of him.
And He Mai is the middleman connecting the two doors.
There are two doors like this, and the square in the middle is so big. It feels like the possibility of operation is quite large!
Just before breaking into the urn gate, Xiao He suddenly changed his mind. He asked the soldiers accompanying him to guide him, and led the soldiers who entered the city one after another to continue to charge forward.
And he stayed.
All this was done without the knowledge of people outside the city, completely without anyone noticing.
People outside the city, on Wang Mi's side, were gnashing their teeth at He Mai's good luck, while on Zhang Hao's side, there was no movement at first.

How can there be any movement?
Shouldn't we close the door?
The big city gates were also closed properly, weren't they?
From Zhang Hao's point of view, as long as the city gate is closed, his mission is completed, which is correct.
It shows that Cheng Jing did his job very well.
For a moment, the shrewd Zhang Hao didn't notice anything unusual. It was precisely because the actions of the Jin army just concealed his thoughts.
