Although the crossbows of the gatekeepers were very sharp, due to the rules, they did not distribute too many crossbows. Coupled with the restrictions of the terrain, it was difficult to form a dense attack. The battle only lasted for a cup of tea.
, the defenders of the city ran out of bows and crossbows.
At this time, the soldiers who were attacking the city were carrying huge trees and charging hard at the city gate. Although arrows were raining down from the city tower, they still didn't realize it. After the people in front died, the people behind immediately
Then push it up.
Under the vigorous attack of the siege soldiers, although the palace gate was very thick, it could not withstand such a powerful collision. Seeing that the city gate was about to collapse, Huan Yanfan's heart suddenly sank, and he felt a little.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Open the city gate and everyone pushes forward. I would rather have blood splashed three feet than let the traitor take one step forward!"
Next to Huan Yanfan, a man who looked like a soldier in iron armor nodded and said, "General Huan, I don't have to worry about this. I and the five hundred soldiers under my command will take the lead in fighting. Even if they are all dead, it will be too late."
You will never let the thieves get in. After we get out, you immediately order people to close the city gate, then use those gate-blocking knife carts to push it up, and then pile up earth bags to completely block the palace gate. As long as you persist
In a short time, we can hold on until our reinforcements arrive."
"Here, General Liu, how can you put yourself in danger? It's better to let the general come. Even if the general dies, it's not a pity!" Huan Yanfan couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw that the general who looked like a soldier was going to die. At the same time, he also felt passionate.
Swelling up, he said loudly.
But the general surnamed Liu sneered and said: "You can't do it, Mr. Huan. In fact, you are more suitable to be a civil servant. This kind of charge into battle is not something that people like you who have never been on the battlefield can do. Let you
If we go against Cheng Wuting’s elite warriors, they won’t be able to hold on for half a quarter of an hour.”
While he was talking, the palace door was opened, and the general named Liu rushed out with his army, and immediately started fighting with Cheng Wuting's army outside.
"You, aren't you also a civil servant? Why can you do it but I can't?" Huan Yanfan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the general who was a civil servant fighting like a tiger on the battlefield.
His expression changed. Although it was in the dark night, the screams were constantly impacting his eardrums. He could even smell the pungent smell of blood, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
The pain became heavier and heavier, and within half a cup of tea, the strong smell of blood hit his stomach. Although he tried to hold it back, he finally couldn't help but vomited all over the floor. In the end, he even vomited bile.
After he came out, he was still retching and retching.
And that's if he didn't see the broken limbs and broken arms below. Otherwise, Huan Yanfan would probably be able to spit out blood by the end.
When Huan Yanfan was vomiting, many of the strong Yulin Army soldiers around him were also vomiting. Most of these soldiers were of noble birth. The reason why they joined the Yulin Army was not because they were elites who had experienced hundreds of battles.
It was because of their identities, but now in the face of the bloody massacre, their identities had no effect at all. Just the strong smell of blood was too much for them to bear.
"Alas, it's a good thing that we didn't attack first, otherwise we might not even have time to close the door and be rushed in by the enemy. However, General Liu only led 500 men and was in a stalemate with an enemy force that was ten times his own.
Moreover, the opponent is an elite soldier commanded by the world-famous Cheng Wuting!"
A trace of shame suddenly appeared on Huan Yanfan's face, but he quickly made up his mind that once the palace gate was breached, even if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would definitely die together with the traitors!
The battle outside the palace gate lasted for nearly two sticks of incense and was still going on. Although Huan Yanfan heard a lot less noise from the clash of weapons, the screams still did not stop. This proved that the five hundred people were still alive.
Some people survived and were still holding their positions outside the city gate.
"As expected, you are indeed worthy of being your Majesty's elite in the East Palace. As expected, Liu Youqiu, who has experienced hundreds of battles with your Majesty, is truly worthy of our shame. Such a warrior can easily kill ten of us. It's a pity that they encountered
When it comes to Cheng Wuting's elite, and it's still one against ten. In fact, if it's one against one, I believe that even Cheng Wuting's army may not be able to win. Oh, no, it is definitely not possible. But we can only wait here.
Is this really unacceptable? However, we know that the significance of our staying here is far greater than going out to be killed, but we are not afraid of death. Brothers outside, please believe us, there will never be one of us
If you retreat, even if you die, you will definitely die on the battlefield!"
Huan Yanfan felt the fierce battle below the city through the night, and his heart was surging. For a moment, his thoughts were surging, and he even forgot where he was.
While Huan Yanfan was thinking a lot on the city tower, Liu Youqiu, who was fighting bravely with Cheng Wuting's soldiers outside the palace gate, did not hesitate at all. He was engaged in life and death battles with the enemy. They were all from the Tang Dynasty.
Elite, so there is not much difference in combat effectiveness. The reason why they can hold on until now is that they occupy the convenient location. They fight on the suspension bridge outside the palace gate. The range is relatively narrow, and only up to ten people can fight at the same time.
Even so, his five hundred people suffered heavy losses, and could even be said to have suffered all casualties. The five hundred people could be intact, and twenty of them could not be found. But even so, they did not slack off at all, and were still there.
He struggled to assassinate enemy soldiers one after another, and even the seriously injured ones did not give up. Instead, he was able to pull an enemy soldier to support him when he was dying.
"Who is the opponent? This is definitely not an ordinary Yulin Army soldier, because ordinary Yulin Army soldiers do not have such courage to risk everything. This is definitely an elite force that has fought in hundreds of battles, and its combat effectiveness is no worse than ours. From the beginning of the battle
In less than two sticks of incense, we have actually killed more than 500 people!" Seeing this scene, even Cheng Wuting couldn't help but be moved, silently making guesses.
However, Cheng Wuting did not take action because he knew that time was running out, especially since Zhang Qianxu's army had not arrived yet, and he might be facing the same situation as him. If he did not capture Mingde Gate as soon as possible,
What awaits them is probably failure.
"Kill! Kill for me, kill at all costs!" Cheng Wu was very determined. No matter how brave and fearless the opponent is, no matter how admirable they are, they are still enemies. Only by killing them all can he win for himself, so he shouted loudly,
In the end, he even couldn't help but ride forward in person, preparing to completely kill those enemies who were stubbornly resisting.
But at this moment, the rumble of horse hooves was suddenly heard from behind, and then a loud shout was heard: "You bold thief, how dare you attack the palace gate overnight, I, Wang Fangyi, led the army to come to rescue you!" (Unfinished)
