Chapter 803: The Battle of Jingnan (Part II)
Seeing that Liang Jun's banner was planted in the tower of Dongcheng, He Zhang waved his fist vigorously.
"The whole army presses up, expands the occupied area, and breaks into the city!"
Liang Jun shouted and pounced.
A moment later, He Zhang also stood on top of the head of the East City along the siege ladder, and looked down at the gate of the East City, which was blocked by bricks, stones, and tiles.
Now it seems that Gangneung Mansion has blocked all the city gates except the north gate, which is the idea of fighting to the death, but their soldiers are not as strong as they imagined.
"General, the remnants of the enemy army have retreated into the city and engaged in a street battle with us in the alleys of the city!" A tooth general ran over covered in blood and reported to He Zhangyu.
"Having a wall to rely on is not our opponent, is street fighting our opponent? Ordered the whole army to make an all-out assault, from here, all the way to the direction of Beicheng, and we went to copy Bai Minzhong's back road. He Zhang laughed.
The Liang army began to divide their troops one by one, along the streets and alleys of Jiangling Mansion City, and killed them towards the north.
However, the enemy's tenacity is far beyond their imagination, and the momentum in He Zhang's imagination did not appear, but some of them struggled, and every step forward had to pay the price of blood.
It's a bit of a wickedness!
Under normal circumstances, once the city is broken, the military spirit of the defenders in the city will inevitably collapse, but this is obviously not the case in Gangneung Province, even if the city has been breached, their resistance is more tenacious.
Frowning and looking at the Liang Jun who ran out of the house, some of them ran a little unneatly, and their bodies looked bulging, obviously, they snatched a lot of good things from the room.
"Tell the brethren to kill the enemy first, and when not to rob it? The enemy hasn't been killed yet! He snapped past a lieutenant who had hurried past him.
"General He, don't blame the brothers!" The lieutenant grinned and said, "We are the first to come in, and we have the greatest credit, and the brothers naturally want to drink this soup, and when everyone is killed, won't we be able to grab less?" At this time, you let us stop the brothers, but I am afraid that the brothers will be resentful. ”
He Zhang couldn't help but be silent.
The order of the marshal not to seal the knife for three days has been conveyed, and at this time, I want to emphasize military discipline, but I am afraid that it will be a little difficult!
This is the case in the East City, and the same is true in the West City at the moment.
Cai Quan only had 10,000 people under his command, and he was originally a covering force for He Zhang, who was the main attack of Dongcheng, and he didn't expect that Xicheng's attack would actually break through the city.
The resistance of the enemy on the city wall was far less fierce than he imagined, and after several temptations, a strong attack actually gained a firm foothold on the city wall.
Of course, he also encountered the same problem as He Zhang, after the city was broken, the speed of progress slowed down significantly. One was because the enemy's resistance was still fierce, and the other was because his soldiers had begun to burn and plunder.
Sang Wei held a knife and crouched behind the counter of a dim sum shop, beside him, two brothers. They are all dart masters of the Ding family's dart game, and they are all outstanding in martial arts.
When the war came, they originally wanted to enter the ranks to make contributions, but Ding Xianggong didn't want them, but put them into the team to defend the city, which made them feel a little despised. But after guarding the walls for less than an hour, they finally understood why.
Many heroes of the rivers and lakes who were even more outstanding in martial arts than him rushed over and killed them, and then never came back. They were indeed very brave, and the moment they rushed out, it was indeed like chopping melons and vegetables, but then, after they encountered a group of Liang Jun, they didn't have time to show their martial arts, and they were stabbed to death by random guns.
When you have more than a dozen spears in your body stabbing at you in the upper, middle and lower three ways at the same time, there is no room to fight back, block a mistake, move a little slowly, and be stabbed into a sieve in an instant.
And the ubiquitous cold arrows.
There are also those enemies who fall to the ground and look dead, but those who still have a breath, hold their legs, put down black knives, and even open a mouthful of white teeth to bite.
At this time, Sang Wei saw not living people, but blood-devouring beasts. Even if it's death, they have to pull a few cushions.
It turns out that the real battlefield is like this.
Thinking of the rows of spearmen clinging to their spears coming all over the world, and thinking of the overwhelming feathered arrows that shot over the heads of the spearmen, Sang Wei couldn't help but stand on end.
At that moment, he really wanted to escape!
The feathered arrows in the city were equally dense, and there were strong crossbows and stone bullets, but those enemies, as if they did not see it, rushed straight and straight, and the front ones fell, and the back ones made up, as if their lives could be restarted.
But when they fall, they don't necessarily get back up.
This is war!
But in a fight like now, he felt much more comfortable.
The door was slammed open, footsteps rang out, and several Liang soldiers broke in, and they happily rummaged around. There were a lot of finished snacks on the counter, and Sang Wei heard someone coming over, taking the snacks and chewing them in his mouth, he took a deep breath and suddenly stood up from behind.
When the Liang soldier just reached out to get the second piece of snack, Sang Wei happened to stand up, and the Liang soldier was shocked, and before the knife in his hand was raised, the knife in Sang Wei's hand had already slashed diagonally, cutting off his head cleanly.
There were also two Liang soldiers in the room, and when they saw this, they screamed and pounced, and across the counter, Sang Wei fought fiercely with them, and the two companions came around from the other side, and pounced silently, one by one, all of them understood.
"Let's go, let's go!" Hearing the sound of dense footsteps outside, Sang Wei waved his hand and quickly ran to the back hall with his two companions.
Although the battle on the city wall was fought very hard, it was not lost so quickly, and the reason why the Liang army quickly occupied the city wall was because of the orders passed down from above.
If it weren't for Bai Qian, the eldest prince of Bai, who commanded the battle in Dongcheng, Sang Wei would have thought that this guy was an undercover agent of the Liang people, but now Sang Wei seems to have understood a little and given up the city wall, and this battle has been fought more relaxed.
The enemy was not as disciplined as before, and the Jingnan Army, which had been withdrawn from the formation, took advantage of its familiarity with the terrain to become more adept, and people like him could kill more enemies more easily.
Half an hour later, with two companions, he had already killed more than a dozen Liang troops, and if it was in a battle like that at the head of the city, Sang Wei felt that he would have to hang up if he could kill two or three at most.
Punch the master to death, in such a battle, unless you really have the courage to be unstoppable, otherwise, you will really die quickly.
Death is inevitable, and immortality is accidental.
The fire in the east city and the fire in the west city rose up, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky, blocking the sunlight from the wind, Ding Ci put down the telescope in his hand, his hands were trembling, but his heart was hurting.
Although all this was expected for a long time, when it really happened, it still made him extremely sad, and the prosperity of the past became full of devastation in the blink of an eye.
It took them generations to turn Gangneung Province into what it is now, but one day is enough for them to decline.
Bai Qian looked coldly at the clusters of Liang Jun surging in the alley in front of him, and waved his hand suddenly: "Shoot!" ”
The crossbow swooped in with the sound of the howling wind.
Liang Jun shouted in horror, they never expected that in such a lane, the enemy would actually arrange such a heavy weapon as a crossbow. When the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm swooped in on them, in addition to facing death, they didn't even have the space to dodge, and the soldiers in the front row who witnessed all this had time to lie down, but the ones behind were not clear, a strong crossbow actually killed more than a dozen Liang soldiers on the spot.
"Kill!" Bai Qian rushed over with the crossbow arrows, and by his side, there were only dozens of Bai family soldiers at this time.
Pulling out the blood-stained long knife from between the chest and abdomen of the last Liang army, Bai Qian glanced at more Liang soldiers rushing in the distance, stepped back, and when he walked to the strong crossbow, he cut off the crossbow string with a single sword.
"Ding Jian, Ding Jian, if your plan can't succeed, we can be regarded as digging our own grave!" Looking at the Liang army advancing layer by layer with a shield, Bai Qian shouted in his heart.
Although they are resisting step by step, there is no doubt that they are retreating step by step.
"Let's go!" Bai Qian turned around and disappeared into the alley on the other side.
Soon after, He Zhang appeared next to this strong crossbow with broken strings, stroking the cold crossbow body, he was speechless for a long time, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't remember it anyway.
Could it be that the Jingnan Army had already prepared for a street battle with them? Otherwise, how could such a heavy crossbow be arranged in such an inconspicuous alley, and he had seen a lot of such things along the way.
It had been half an hour since he entered the city, and his casualties were almost as high as they had been during the siege, and the enemy had not panicked because of the loss of the city, and they had long been prepared for such a battle.
But why is that?
Could it be that the enemy voluntarily gave up the battle for the head of the city and deliberately started a street battle with them?
Why should the enemy abandon a more advantageous way of fighting?
He couldn't figure it out.
"Someone!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and summoned a personal soldier, "You, go out of the city immediately and tell the marshal about the situation here, it seems that there is something strange!" ”
Seeing the soldiers flying away, He Zhang took a deep breath, no matter what weirdness there was, as long as he could kill Beicheng as soon as possible, then everything should be over. Tell the festival commander about this just in case.
He Zhang was like this, and Cai Quan, who was also experienced in warfare, also noticed the abnormality, and he reacted the same as He Zhang.
