Flying at night caused heavy losses to the soldiers.
Thirty-six warriors jumped down from the cliff and used the cowhide cloaks on their bodies to glide for more than a hundred steps. In the end, only twenty-one people landed at the top of the city. The others either deviated from the direction and hit the cliff.
Some fell into the alchemy water, some hit the city wall, and one of the worst warriors was stabbed to death by a large flag halberd.
However, the sudden appearance of these soldiers from the dark night sky still caused unexpected consequences. The Wei army on duty at the top of the city was dumbfounded. They looked at the enemies rolling on the wall and falling to the ground in a heap, but they did not step forward to intercept them.
This gave Dunwu and others a leisurely time to get rid of Da open, reveal their crossbows, draw out their sharp swords, and in twos and threes, they formed small battle formations nearby and roared towards the city gate.
Jumping down from a cliff nearly a hundred feet away, although I have practiced it countless times, this time I was gliding in the air where I couldn't see anything. I could only see the torches at the top of Nanxiang City. I adjusted my direction based on my feelings, but I still had no choice but to die.
2. It was not until this moment that the feet landed on the ground that the heart truly fell to the ground. The soldiers turned their infinite fear into terrifying power and attacked the city gate from different directions.
The Wei army was stunned. After fighting for a lifetime, no one had ever seen a trapeze artist. Although martial law had been in place for more than ten days, there had been no fighting. The soldiers at the top of the city had not even seen the shadow of the enemy. They had already
So he became lax. Although the people on duty were standing in the city
On the wall, my body was cold from the night wind, and my heart had already been blown into the warm quilt by the night wind. I wanted to survive as soon as possible until the shift change, so I could seize the time to eat something, stay warm, and have a good sleep.
, who would have thought that we would actually see such a spectacle as a trapeze artist.
Although there were people standing every three or five steps holding halberds on the top of the city, and there were groups of patrolling soldiers, but in the face of all this, no one could react in time, let alone intercept them.
Dunwu and others seized the opportunity, ran wildly, and rushed towards the city gate. Only at the city gate did the Wei soldiers wake up and rushed forward while shouting in panic.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The sound of the alarm gong immediately spread throughout Nanxiang City. The soldier who was huddled in the corner and dozing opened his dazed eyes, stumbled towards the drum stand, picked up the drum, and struck the gong vigorously. The soldier was awakened.
He rushed out of the quilt, grabbed his clothes and weapons, and rushed out of the barracks.
Cao Yu also rushed out. He didn't even have time to put on his battle armor. He wrapped himself in a big cloak and ran up to the watchtower. After looking around, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although the alarm gong sounded everywhere.
But the real commotion was only at the West City Gate, and things were not out of control yet.
"The Chinese army will support Ximen immediately." Cao Yu shouted to Yin Damu who was following him.
"Here." Yin Damu promised loudly, and at the same time presented the shirt and armor in his hand: "General, you'd better put it on quickly. Don't get cold."
Only then did Cao Yu feel cold all over his body. He quickly untied his cloak and began to change clothes on the watchtower. Maybe he was a little nervous, but it took him a long time to put his hands into his sleeves.
The situation on the city wall is changing rapidly.
Dunwu and others are all warriors who have fought many battles. They know that the opportunity cannot be missed and the time will never come again. Just a dozen of them cannot defeat the Wei army. They can only have a chance by opening the city gate quickly and joining the army outside the city to enter the city.
.So their goals are very clear
Indeed, the people who fell on the city wall rushed to the wind turbine in the tower, slashed to death several Wei soldiers who came up to them, and then several people gathered in a circle to form a defensive formation. The other few people rolled the wind turbine with force, pulling down the heavy roller.
The hanging door is lifted.
The hanging door weighed more than a thousand kilograms, and it was very difficult even with a pulley. The soldiers used all their strength, their muscles were flexing, and they roared repeatedly, turning the huge pulley to lift the hanging door. The soldiers responsible for blocking the attack held shields.
Fighting with the Wei army that was charging over him, he refused to retreat all the way even if he was hit by several swords in a row, and defended himself firmly in front of his companions.
The Wei army panicked. They knew that once the hanging gate was lifted, half of the city gate would be lost. They had no time to form a formation, so they rushed over and started a bloody fight with the soldiers.
Dunwu screamed sharply, and the long sword in his hand flashed with sword light. Every time he flashed, a Wei soldier fell to the ground. He was like a god of death, as if he was in a deserted land, with no enemy in front of him.
. He had to fight desperately. He could only see a dozen or so people outside his sight. If he delayed for a moment, he might lose this fighter opportunity that he had bought with dozens of lives. At this moment, he no longer had any reservations.
, using the sharpest sword skills, killing several people in one breath.
Like Dunwu, every soldier fought hard. They knew very well that if they could not lift the hanging door and open the city gate, and the main force outside the city could not enter, they would not only die, but also die without any value.
The two sides fought for their lives on the city wall.
The soldiers had the upper hand, and their martial skills were far superior to ordinary soldiers. At this moment, they risked their lives to fight. Although there were many Wei soldiers, they could not do anything for them at the moment. They watched helplessly as they raised the Xuanmen. One soldier killed two people in a row.
, roared, and stuffed a Wei soldier alive under the windlass of the hanging door. The windlass tightened, and the Wei soldiers screamed, and the screams spread far and wide in the night wind, making everyone feel chilly.
The gate of Wengcheng opened with a rumble. Wang Zhong led a thousand soldiers, rushed across the suspension bridge that had just been lowered, and rushed into the Wengcheng. He left some people to guard the gate of Wengcheng tightly, and directed the others to start a fierce attack on the main gate.
The walls of the city. Soldiers
Some rushed over from the wall of Wengcheng and fired with their crossbows. Some put up ladders and climbed onto the city. Some pushed siege engines and slammed into the city gates. Some even carried ladders up.
Climb the Wengcheng wall directly to the main city wall.
Before attacking the city, Wei Feng had an in-depth understanding of the city structure of Nanxiang City and made a lot of preparations for the steps to attack the city. While Dunwu and others were practicing gliding, the remaining soldiers were practicing
Siege. Everyone knows that Dunwu and others can only create a very short-term opportunity. To achieve a real victory, they must rely on the main force to follow up in time, so they have done a lot of work to connect them.
Prepare and practice.
At this moment, Wengcheng seems to be in chaos, but in fact everyone knows their responsibilities and goes all out.
Wang Zhong attacked Wengcheng, causing greater panic to the Wei army on the wall. They sent many people to block the Shuhan soldiers in the attached city, leaving a precious breathing opportunity for Dunwu and others. The last few survivors
The soldiers formed a circle and firmly protected the hanging gate.
Nearly a hundred Wei soldiers surrounded them. They attacked with all their strength, but were unable to reach the wheel, and lowered the hanging door. All the soldiers were injured, but the corpses of Wei soldiers in front of them were also layered in layers, with blood flowing across them.
The cold night wind had no time to cool down.
When Cao Yu rushed to the city wall with his guard battalion, Wei Feng also arrived with his main force.
Wei Feng brandished his sword and took the lead. He led more than 200 soldiers into the city gate and climbed onto the city wall. He rescued Dun Wu and others in time.
Seeing that the main force of the Shu Han army had entered the main city and there were countless torches outside and outside the urn city, Cao Yu knew that the situation was over. The Shu Han army was well prepared and had astonishing abilities like flying trapeze. Coupled with the superior force, once the city gate
If he is defeated, his soldiers who have not yet fully awakened from their sleep will not be able to recapture the city. Once entangled by the opponent, he will not only be unable to save the city, but will be in danger of being annihilated.
Facing the Shu Han army coming like a tide, Cao Yu had no choice but to break through with his guard battalion and surrendered Nanxiang City.
As soon as Cao Yu left, the Wei army had no leader and could only fight on their own. Some broke out, while others knelt down and surrendered. For many local soldiers, there was no psychological barrier to surrendering to the Shu Han, and their families were not around
There is no need for the Wei State to fight as hard as those soldiers who came from Wancheng.
At dawn, Wei Feng took control of Nanxiang City. While cleaning the battlefield, he sent people to inform Wei Ba and Fu Xing of the news.
This battle benefited from the trapeze tactics and the tacit understanding of cooperation. Cao Yu had just rushed to the city wall with his guard battalion, and he didn't even have time to deploy a powerful counterattack. The city gate changed hands. Therefore, the battle happened hastily and briefly.
, the casualties were not large. The biggest losses were the soldiers. The total number of casualties was
Fifty-five soldiers were trained. In the end, only nine were alive, including two who fell into the alchemy water and swam ashore, and one who crashed into the city wall and broke his leg, but survived.
In the end, there were only six warriors left on the city wall. Including Dunwu, everyone was seriously injured and their life or death was uncertain.
Wei Feng announced in public that these soldiers, whether alive or dead, injured or disabled, would receive extraordinary rewards and their families would be treated well. At the same time, he fulfilled his original promise and let Wang Zhong take the lead.
Selecting the trophies. Under the envious eyes of everyone, Wang Zhong happily took away a beautiful concubine that Cao Yu had not had time to take away.
Wei Feng immediately announced a heavy reward for the meritorious officers, and the city of Nanxiang was filled with joy.
…
Cao Yu fled into Shunyang City in embarrassment.
Looking at Cao Yu's frustrated face, Guanqiu Jian didn't react for a long time: "Trapeze? Your Majesty, are you sure you saw it correctly?"
Cao Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't see it with my own eyes. When I arrived at Ximen, Ximen was already a massacre. However, I have asked many soldiers on the road who have seen the trapeze artist. They said that it was indeed from the air.
My general Yin Damu has seen the fallen people with his own eyes. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him."
Guanqiu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, it's better not to ask. This kind of thing has a great impact on the morale of the army. Once the soldiers think that the Shu Han army can fly to the sky and escape the earth, and is omnipotent, how can we fight? No matter whether it is true or not.
It can no longer be passed on."
Cao Yu nodded, he also knew this truth, but the rumor was so bizarre that it spread throughout the army in a short period of time, and it was too late for him to control it.
"Zhong Gong, the fall of Nanxiang is my responsibility. I will apologize to Your Majesty." Cao Yu took the initiative to take over the responsibility and asked sincerely: "Now only Shunyang is left, we must defend it."
Guanqiu Jian frowned and thought for a while: "Although Nanxiang has been lost, Shunyang still has a city to rely on, and His Majesty has sent reinforcements. The cavalry captain Guo Li is leading five thousand cavalry to fight against the Shu Han army in Shuanghu Ridge.
Combat. You said you met the bandit general Wei Feng. The bandit general Wei Feng from Shuanghuling must be a lie. Who could he be? Could he be the Wei Ba that Your Majesty is worried about?"
