Chapter 1142: Capture the City
With a buzz, this crossbow arrow unique to Goguryeo shot out with a scream, above the city wall, the terrain is narrow, there is no room to dodge at all, eight guns. The crossbow flew by, and suddenly opened eight bloody paths in the crowd.
At this time, a large number of Goguryeo troops arrived in the city, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, obviously there were also cavalry in the city rushed over, Zhang Tiangang glanced at a group of subordinates who were conducting a long-range attack on the city gate, thinking that there should be no problem in the city, and he hurried down the city with a part of the people. The city gate is the key, and one hundred and fifty of the two hundred special combat team masters are guarded there.
The south gate of the city faces the city, Zhang Tiangang led people to temporarily build a simple barricade with earthen bags and some furniture and things, and some strong crossbows taken down from the city were placed behind, Zhang Tiangang and his party were well-equipped, all equipped with the sharpest steel knives produced by Snake Island, each person had a short dagger made of stainless steel, and a rapid crossbow. Before the melee battle began, the long-range attack alone suppressed the Goguryeo soldiers who poured in the streets a hundred paces away, unable to advance an inch, and could only shoot at them with bows and arrows from a distance.
Pyongyang lord Gao Jianwu is by no means incompetent, in fact, this person is both civil and military, he did not wait for news in the palace, but personally rushed to the south gate with a group of guards, but when he came, it had been a stalemate for almost half a stick of incense, hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer outside the south city, looking at the open south gate and the falling suspension bridge, Gao Jianwu's face was pale, and the current situation was that if the enemy cavalry failed to recapture the south gate before the arrival of the cavalry, then today would be the end of the city's broken death.
"Rush over to me." Gao Jianwu roared angrily, and actually took the lead in rushing forward, and the few cavalry he brought were all palace guards.
With the roar of their own lord, without the slightest hesitation, these guards rushed forward with Gao Jianwu's destruction of their horses. The crossbow arrows roared, and one by one the horses fell to the ground, and some of them directly hit the improvised barricades, collapsing the simple barricades.
In a charge, more than a dozen horses and knights on the horses fell, and the streets were blocked by corpses, and the follow-up cavalry could no longer charge, Gao Jianwu fell into the saddle and dismounted, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted neighingly: "Life and death, at this moment, rush with me." ”
Before the words fell, he took the lead and killed him. The group of foot soldiers behind them, inspired by the spears of the lord of the country, shouted and rushed forward. The soldiers in the back were even more busy dragging the dead horses to the side of the street, opening a temporary passage for the continuous flow of reinforcements from behind.
With the swing of the iron spear, the masters of the special combat team who met were repulsed and injured one after another, and even two people had died, Gao Jianwu injured one person in one step, and approached the city gate step by step. One hundred and fifty special combat team masters threw away the longbow in their hands, pulled out their steel knives, and roared to meet them, a pillar of incense, they only need to hold on to a pillar of incense for a long time, and now, half of the time has passed, looking back, they can already see through the city gate that is rapidly approaching the fire dragon.
Zhang Tiangang caught up with Gao Jianwu, Zhang Tiangang is a master of the breaking period, under the personal guidance of Nie Xiaoyu, although he has only been promoted for more than a year, but he is stronger than the ordinary masters of the breaking period, at this time, the sword is wielded, and Gao Jianwu is a mess, it is originally an inch long, an inch strong, an inch short, and an inch dangerous, but in this crowded killing field, his sword is more effective than Gao Jianwu's spear. With Zhang Tiangang withstanding Gao Jianwu, the pressure on the masters of the special combat team was greatly reduced, and under the flying of swords, they were on par with the Goguryeo soldiers who were several times more than them.
If it were on a spacious battlefield, these 150 people might not be able to play much role, and under the attack of several times the enemy, they would soon be defeated, but now the entire southern city gate is in chaos, and the defenders of Pyongyang cannot put up a combat formation at all, and can only engage in melee with the enemy according to the terrain, which gives the special forces of the special combat team, which is much stronger in individual strength, to take advantage of the masters. In addition, the sharpness and solidity of the steel knife in the hands of Zhang Tiangang and his entourage were also reflected at this time, and often the Pyongyang soldiers slashed with their full strength, and with a bang, the knives of the Pyongyang defenders were cut off, the spear shaft was cut off, and then the head was cut off.
However, the so-called ants bite the tiger to death, and the Pyongyang defenders are too many more than Zhang Tiangang and his party, more than ten times, dozens of times, so the Pyongyang soldiers are still slowly approaching the city gate.
Above the city tower, fifty masters of the special brigade saw that the situation under the city was not good, and immediately turned the arrow, swishing and swishing, and the Pyongyang soldiers in the front row were carried down one after another.
Gao Jianwu was anxious, he had practiced the secret martial arts of the royal family, and he was also a master of breaking the martial arts, but he was still not Zhang Tiangang's opponent, at this time, seeing that he could not gain the upper hand, he threw away the spear in his hand in a rage, pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, and fought for his life, slashing at Zhang Tiangang like a mad tiger, and for a while Zhang Tiangang was forced to take two steps back.
At the head of the city, a special brigade master opened his bow, swished, and an arrow shot at Gao Jianwu, which was also Gao Jianwu's life, just at this time Zhang Tiangang stabbed with a sword, he shrank his neck, and the arrow shot away his helmet with a bang, but he himself was not even injured by a single oilskin, but by this fright, his hand slowed down, Zhang Tiangang quickly seized this rare opportunity, the sword in his hand was slashed out like lightning, Gao Jianwu hurriedly blocked it with the war knife in his hand, but was split out of a few steps, And after slashing with Zhang Tiangang more than a dozen times, the war knife in his hand finally couldn't bear it, and it broke into two with a click.
Gao Jianwu stabilized his figure, looked at Zhang Tiangang and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, his heart sank completely, Zhang Tiangang's strength was high, but he was stronger than him, with Zhang Tiangang in front of him, it was difficult for his soldiers to take a step forward for a while.
The shouting and killing sound in his ears sounded like thunder, countless torches reflected the north city gate, the sound of horses' hooves was close at hand, Gao Jianwu looked at the north city gate a few steps away, but it was as far away as the end of the world.
"It's too late, it's over, it's too late! Leave immediately, or you will be captured by the Sui people, or even die here. He cried out in his heart.
With a certain thought, Gao Jianwu turned around and left, and when he turned around, the palace guards who accompanied him turned around and ran away with him.
"Kill!" Outside the city, Wang Junlin carried a horse lance, rode a blood-maned horse, and rushed across the drawbridge and rushed into the north gate.
Pyongyang lost.
