Chapter 376 Street fighting, life and death interception
The fire spread quickly and soon spread throughout the street.
Wei Xuzi was shocked. Although they had the advantage, at this time I was facing an enemy in the open, and their situation was not optimistic.
Thirty thousand troops entered Nancheng. At this time, the situation was chaotic and many people began to disobey the command.
The soldiers closest to Kou Wang were so panicked that they didn't know where the enemy was and fled in a hurry.
However, under the powerful majesty of Wei Xuzi, the army was quickly put down.
And everyone also formed a temporary military formation to defend against Kou Wang's sneak attack.
Now the entire Nancheng is a trapped city with no way to escape. They can only continue to fight.
Wei Xuzi's mood sank to the bottom. He still underestimated the Zhou soldiers, thinking that he would not be discovered, but unexpectedly he encountered an ambush.
"kill!"
At this time, Kou Wang finally rushed out from the darkness.
The 10,000 Northern Tiger troops were divided into many teams, dividing the 30,000 troops of Wei Xuzi and others.
Kou Wang was so brave that he killed two enemy generals by himself, causing the surrounding enemy troops to be devastated.
Wei Xuzi sneered. Previously, Kou Wang and these people were in the dark, which made Wei Xuzi and others fearful.
Now that they came out on their own initiative, it happened to be the time for Wei Xuzi to counterattack.
Wei Xuzi made a decisive decision, stopped the idea of attacking the city wall, and ordered an all-out war with the Zhou army.
The two armies started fighting instantly, and the situation was tragic, not much better than the battle in Nanchuan City.
After all, Wei Xuzi is a famous general of Nanyuan Kingdom. Under his leadership, Nanyuan Kingdom's 30,000 troops quickly regained their advantage.
Although Kou Wang is powerful, Wei Xuzi is not a vegetarian, not to mention that he also has several fierce generals around him, who are also famous in Nanyuan Kingdom.
Wei Xuzi's change of strategy put a lot of pressure on Kou Wang.
However, Kou Wang's main purpose is to delay Wei Xuzi. As long as they successfully delay Wei Xuzi's army, they will be considered victorious.
"hateful!"
Kou Wang raised his long sword, beheaded an enemy and shouted helplessly.
Wei Xuzi reacted too quickly. Every time he acted, he could think of the most accurate way to respond, which greatly increased Kou Wang's pressure.
After all, Kou Wang only had 10,000 people, so how could he send them all at once?
"The entire army retreated and street fighting began."
This is Kou Wang's last resort, no matter the cost, he must defend Nancheng and prevent the enemy from taking a single step out of Nancheng.
Everyone took the order, fought and retreated, and returned to the many alleys of Nancheng.
Soon, the fire was extinguished, but many soldiers from the Nanyuan Kingdom were burned to death in the chaos, with the casualties reaching more than 800.
Although it is not a big loss for more than 30,000 people, how can people accept such a thing when they have not even started the war yet?
Kou Wang retreated, and Wei Xuzi quickly asked someone to open the city gate and let in the remaining 70,000 Nanyuan Army.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Wei Xi's expression was tense and he quickly ran to Wei Xuzi.
The city gate was closed before, and Wei Xuzi and others were trapped inside. Wei Xi was shocked and thought something would happen to Wei Xuzi.
"Send the order, tell everyone to be careful, and at the same time send the vanguard troops to open the way ahead."
Wei Xuzi suffered from the previous losses and did not dare to go ahead by himself, but asked others to explore the way.
Of course, he could choose not to go to Nancheng, but now that they are here, if they take another detour, it will take more time.
By then, when they arrive at Nanchuan City, they will probably face the army of Zhou Dynasty.
The Nanyuan Kingdom's 100,000-strong army readjusted their formation. In the previous battle, the Nanyuan Kingdom lost about a thousand people, while the Great Zhou Kingdom only lost a few dozen corpses.
Although Kou Wang retreated, it can be said that Kou Wang won this battle.
But in the future, Wei Xuzi will be more careful and will not give Kou Wang any opportunity.
As long as he breaks through Nancheng, Kou Wang will no longer be able to stop him.
There were approximately 10,000 people in the vanguard army, all of them advancing towards the east gate of Nancheng.
These more than 10,000 people were guarded everywhere. Those outside were holding shields, and those inside were holding bows, arrows and spears, and were cautious.
The people behind them set up a battle formation and slowly advanced with the vanguard army.
In such a formation, Kou Wang and others had no way to harass them.
If there are few people attacking, it will not have any effect.
If there are too many people, I'm afraid all of them will be left behind.
Kou Wang gritted his teeth. Now it seemed that he could only make a desperate move.
"Liao Da, you take hundreds of brothers to the alley in front."
"Liu Shen, go to the tall building over there."
…
"Remember, our mission is to delay their march and prevent them from leaving Nancheng as much as possible."
Kou Wang quickly issued the order and asked everyone to separate again and stop the enemy's advance at different positions.
"There are soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty there!"
“It’s there too!”
As the vanguard army advanced, they discovered the figures of many Zhou soldiers.
These Zhou soldiers were also highly skilled and bold, and often only a few dozen or even a few appeared in the sight of the vanguard army to attract their attention.
It was the first time for the soldiers of Nanyuan Kingdom to enter Nancheng. They were very unfamiliar with Nancheng. They were a little worried when they learned that the Zhou army was ambushing them in the city.
And now that the Zhou army was disappearing, these people were even more panicked, and their advance was also slowed down.
"Fire the arrow!" Suddenly, a low voice came from afar.
In a bungalow on a certain street in Nancheng, many arrows suddenly shot out.
The soldiers of Nanyuan Kingdom took up their shields to block the arrows and defused the attack.
In fact, it was just a few hundred people shooting arrows, it was just a show, and it caused almost no casualties to the Nanyuan Army.
"If you find the enemy, go over and take a look."
"yes!"
This time, Nanyuan Kingdom did not intend to let go of the Zhou soldiers.
A part of the vanguard army rushed towards the bungalow, but the Zhou soldiers there had already moved their positions to another place.
The soldiers of the vanguard army naturally rushed to nothing and did not find any soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty.
When the news reached Wei Xuzi, he immediately became furious.
"This is the Zhou army's plan to delay our progress. Send me an order not to stop advancing no matter what happens. Leaving Nancheng now is the most important thing."
After everyone learned Wei Xuzi's order, they began to speed up the pace. They paid no attention to the surrounding Zhou army along the way, nor did they care about how many people there were or what they were doing. They paid no attention to them.
Although the east gate of Nancheng is closed, as long as the Nanyuan Kingdom army arrives, the gate can be reopened soon.
At present, the Nanyuan Kingdom's army is less than ten miles away from the East City Gate, and they can already see the appearance of the city gate.
