In this battle, more than 3,000 people were beheaded, and 10,000 people fell, all of them young and strong. Armor and weapons were captured, and hundreds of war horses were captured! Only 3,000 or 4,000 of the 17,000 Black Mountain bandits escaped.
The member of the army who had misunderstood Tian Feng before the war realized that many Black Mountain bandits had eaten enough and were captured because they could not run fast. He could not help but admire the two military advisors.
He opened his jaws and gathered the surrendered soldiers, and ordered Guo Jing, who was in charge of Xuanwei, to lead his subordinates to persuade and comfort them. After a lot of coercion and inducement, more than ten thousand surrendered soldiers saw that they would not die, and they also heard that there were various benefits to joining the Julu army. Each one of them
They were so grateful that they were all willing to defect and follow Zhang Zha to Yiyang.
Zhang Jaw immediately detached two thousand soldiers to escort the surrendered troops and then moved slowly. He led a fifteen hundred horse infantry army and rushed to Yiyang. The battle lasted for almost two hours. He couldn't help but worry about Wang Li and Murong Ping.
But it was said that Yiyang's Black Mountain bandits were guarding the city. At dusk, they suddenly heard loud shouts of killing from the north. The guard Li Cheng hurriedly climbed to the top of the city to take a look. He saw a group of his own troops fleeing hastily at the dust head in the north.
Towards the city gate, hundreds of officers and soldiers were chasing after them, and many of them screamed and fell down!
Li Cheng hurriedly went down to the city to lead troops and horses to respond. He had just introduced his defeated soldiers into the city, and was about to fight the official army when he heard a cry of killing behind him! The hundreds of defeated soldiers actually set fire to the city gate! Li Cheng saw that
There was a fire in the city and they were panicked, so they rushed to lead troops to rescue them. Among the rebels, they encountered Murong Ping, who was pretending to be a defeated army from Montenegro. He was shot off his horse with an arrow. When the rebel army saw that the guard general was killed, they were in chaos! They couldn't organize a decent offensive for a while.
.Murong Ping cut off the slings, used the geographical advantage to form an array, and resisted the attack of thousands of Black Mountain bandits!
"Raise the bow! Release the arrow! Stand back and prepare! The second row comes forward!" Under the city gate, Murong Ping shouted at the top of his lungs! Dozens of arrows would be shot behind him every time he shouted. Murong Ping's archery skills were outstanding, and his soldiers and horses
He also practiced archery with him. Of the 500 soldiers he brought this time, 200 were equipped with bows and arrows. However, the city gate was so small that the formation could not be used at all! A single volley could only shoot 20 to 30 arrows.
However, the Black Mountain thieves are poorly equipped, and many of them have no armor to cover their bodies. They rush forward with only flesh and blood! The thieves are so dense that they don’t even bother to aim. Each wave of small arrows is shot out.
Just shoot one piece!
However, it was obvious that bows and arrows alone could not withstand the tidal wave of attacks by the thieves. A camp commander under Murong Ping strode to the forefront and shouted: "Lancers, step forward and prepare! Maintain the array!"
Ten spearmen lined up in a neat line. They stood silently with their guns in hand, maintaining an assassination attitude. Once the Black Mountain thieves approached, they would roar and rush forward like leopards! The spears in their hands were like poisonous snakes.
It usually penetrates into the soft body of the Black Mountain Thief, and most of them are vital!
The Black Mountain thieves have gone through hard training and have all kinds of weapons in their hands, but they can't organize an effective offensive at all! Every time the Julu Spear Soldiers rush forward, several thieves will fall to the ground due to fatigue, and if there are any on their own side,
If he is injured and dies in battle, the soldiers behind him who are ready will come forward to supplement him!
When the Black Mountain bandits saw the official army attacking the city, they were worried that the food and grass they had previously robbed would be taken away. They burst out with amazing fighting spirit and fought to the death one by one! Julu has been plundered by the Black Mountain bandits over the years, and has a deep hatred with the bandits!
Not afraid of fighting! The two soldiers and horses started a fierce battle on the narrow road at the city gate. After a while, the corpses piled up in mountains!
Compared with being able to move easily in the doorway, the battle near the suspension bridge outside the city can be called fierce! The Black Mountain thieves came out of the city with two thousand soldiers to meet them! Now they were stopped outside the city by Murong Ping's five hundred sergeants! These thieves
Returning like an arrow, he rushed towards Murong Ping's men crazily! He only wanted to annihilate the lone army and entered the city! Two attacks from two sides, plus there were no more than 500 soldiers inside the city gate.
Arrows rained down! In just a moment, Murong Ping suffered nearly a hundred casualties!
The five hundred cavalry under Wang Li chased and killed the Black Mountain bandits outside the city, and for a while they made a lot of gains. However, the two thousand Black Mountain bandits were crowded into a group, and they were unable to kill them. For a while, they couldn't rush in at all! Shooting from the top of the city
The rain of arrows also made him quite afraid for a moment, and he did not dare to get too close!
Suddenly, under the city gate became the focus of competition between the two sides!
Unfortunately, this situation lasted for less than a quarter of an hour. Murong Ping was attacked on both sides and the situation was critical. Seeing that the Black Mountain bandit commander could not annihilate the Julu Army at the city gate in a short period of time, he ruthlessly ordered his soldiers to burn wood and stone from the tower.
Throw it down! In just a moment, the door is half blocked!
Seeing that the situation was critical, Murong Ping had no choice but to grit his teeth and wave his troops into the city! He was immediately surrounded by thousands of Black Mountain bandits at the core!
The Black Mountain bandits outside the city followed them into the city, and Wang Li's light cavalry also rushed in! Hundreds of Julu troops fought in the city with the Black Mountain bandits several times their size. At this time, there was no formation at all.
, the two sides compete only with the sergeant’s combat skills and willpower!
"Charge! Armored spearmen rush forward! Archers fire arrows to support! Take down the city head for me!"
"Set the house on fire! Set off rockets! Cut off the Black Mountain bandits who are coming to help from the city!"
"Inform Wang Li's Qingqi to move the wood and stone from the city gate!"
Although the scene was chaotic, Murong Ping still tried to keep his head clear and conveyed the orders one by one like water! There was only one belief in his mind, and he persisted until reinforcements arrived!
The chaos inside and outside the city gate was extremely chaotic. However, even if they lost the advantage of their formation, the skills of the Julu Army were far beyond that of the Black Mountain bandits. The five hundred soldiers and horses led by Murong Ping were all veterans who had undergone rigorous training.
After the baptism of the Yangjiapu or Hulao Pass battles, the combat power of the Black Mountain bandits was much stronger than that of the Black Mountain bandit army with a large number of refugees! I saw hundreds of soldiers rushing straight into the dense formation of bandits, like a bloody choke.
The meat machine was advancing towards the city wall step by step! Wang Li led hundreds of light cavalry to charge wildly and stopped most of the thieves who were charging towards Murong Ping!
It's just that there are so many bandit soldiers in the Black Mountains that even the old and the weak have rushed forward! All these refugees have tried their best for the food they have worked so hard to plunder!
The resistance of the Black Mountain thieves at the top of the city was particularly fierce! They were all relatively elite infantry among the thieves, and they knew very well that if this group of officers and soldiers were allowed to occupy the favorable terrain at the top of the city, the loss of Yiyang City would be inevitable, so they tried their best
Try your best to suppress the officers and soldiers who rushed up the city steps!
Murong Ping struggled to move forward under the rain of arrows like locusts. Every time he climbed a step, someone would be hit by an arrow and fall to the ground! After more than a hundred steps from the city gate to the tower, the Julu soldier fell on this road.
Nearly half!
With such difficulty, Murong Ping managed to disperse the garrison at the top of the city and occupy a favorable position at the top of the city. Murong Ping suddenly felt that the pressure from all sides was relieved. He just looked around and saw that there were only less than 200 soldiers around him! At this time, he could no longer care about it.
Grieving the heavy losses of his soldiers, he shouted hoarsely: "Get in formation! Stand firm and wait for reinforcements!"
At first, he thought that as long as they rushed into the city this time, the Black Mountain bandits would definitely flee in chaos. He didn't expect them to resist so tenaciously in order to snatch the food and grass! This put his soldiers into a bitter battle!
Wang Li's Qingqi also suffered extremely heavy casualties. In order to cover Murong Ping's ascension to the city, the Qingqi, which won with speed, suffered more than half of their casualties in order to block the surging Black Mountain bandits. At this time, seeing Murong Ping's troops finally ascending the city, more than two hundred cavalry fought their way through.
