Chapter 330: Annihilation
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Song Yi sent a group of elite soldiers under his command to let them touch the root of the city wall first and set up a cloud ladder. The operation went smoothly, and the ladders were erected up to the head of Yangguan City, without attracting any of the defenders' investigation.
Seeing this, Song Yi was overjoyed, and personally took more than 2,000 soldiers under his command to come to Yangguan City quietly. Along the ladder, the elite soldiers who had already climbed up first did not see any defenders on the top of the city.
The people went down the steps to infiltrate the city of Yangguan, and without probing inside, they opened the unguarded city gate as soon as possible.
As the gate of Yangguan was opened little by little, Song Yi outside the city was so excited that he almost jumped high, and he couldn't imagine that Yangguan, which he couldn't break through during the day, was now captured by his own side so easily.
He swung his sword forward and shouted: "The whole army enters the city, kill all the Han troops in the city, and leave no one behind!" ”
With his order, more than 2,000 soldiers under his command poured into Yangguan along the open city gate.
But the strange thing is that there is no one in the city of Yangguan, and there is no one in the city.
When you enter the city, it is so empty that you can't see a single person. At this time, Song Yi's first reaction was, could it be that the Han army knew that it was invincible, so it was impossible to flee at night?
He was muttering in his heart, and suddenly, he heard a whistle sound in the air, and before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the southern, eastern, and western walls of Yangguan burning everywhere, and torches were lit.
If you look closely, on the three city walls, there are all Han soldiers standing, and people are holding crossbow machines in their hands.
"Not good! There is an ambush in the city! Song Yi reacted and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Retreat!" Withdraw from Yangguan immediately! ”
It's too late! More than 2,000 reckless troops didn't have time to turn around, and the Han soldiers on the three city walls had already pulled the crossbow machine one after another, and for a while, the sound of the crossbow machine was connected. Yangguan is just a small city in the land of projectiles, said to be a city, in fact, it is a small fortress, the internal space is not very large, now the three city walls are raining arrows, and the reckless army that enters the city is crowded together, there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape, and is crossbow arrows
The reckless troops who were shot did not fall to the ground one after another, but fell to the ground one by one. The reckless army behind was closer to the city gate, and wanted to turn around and run out, but I don't know where more than 100 Han soldiers came out of the city, running from outside the city, people holding shields in one hand and spears in the other, forming a shield array outside the city gate.
The hole in the city gate was tightly blocked, and the water could not be drained.
The reckless soldiers who ran over were all blocked by the shield array, and at the same time, spears stabbed out from behind the shield array, stabbing down the reckless soldiers who rushed into the shield array in rows.
It's not a battle anymore, it's a massacre. More than 2,000 reckless soldiers were trapped in the small Yangguan City, surrounded by arrows raining down, and the only north gate that could escape was blocked by the Han army outside the city.
The scene in the city can be described as tragic. The soldiers held their shields high to fend off the arrows flying from all around, but where could they stop them? A shield in his hand is to block the front and not the back, and the left and the right can't block the right.
The rain of arrows on the three walls seemed to be endless, round after round.
Song Yi swung his sword to block the crossbow arrows around him, and roared loudly: "Liu Xiu, what kind of ability do you have to wait for a secret arrow to hurt people?" Come out and fight me! ”
Liu Xiu, who was standing at the head of the city, looked down at the reckless army trapped in the city, his face expressionless, his eyes flickering. Song Yi called for a long time, but he didn't hear anyone talking, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him.
He roared and led the charge towards the North City Gate.
The soldiers around Song Yi followed him and ran towards the north city gate.
However, people are running all the way, dying all the way, and the crossbow arrows that fly around them are nailed to people's bodies from time to time, and people who are rushing forward also fall to the ground from time to time.
Even Song Yi was not spared, with several arrows stuck in his shoulders, arms, thighs, and back.
When he finally ran to the North City Gate Cave, he raised his eyes and saw that there were already mountains of corpses in the City Gate Cave, all of which were the corpses of the soldiers of the Mang Army.
Outside the corpse pile, you can also see the shield array formed by the Han army, and the shields on each side seem to have been washed with blood, and they are all dyed black and red. Song Yiqiang endured the arrow wound on his body, roared, and rushed over with a sword.
He ran up to the pile of corpses, and as soon as he turned over the pile of corpses, he came down from it, and several spears pierced from the shield array opposite. Song Yi dodged to the side, but at the same time as letting go of these spears, several spears stabbed over from the other side.
This time, Song Yi was powerless to dodge, so he could only twist his body as much as possible, he had let go of the two spears, but the third spear still pierced deeply into his lower abdomen.
Song Yi screamed, grabbed the shaft of the spear, and cut it off with a sword. He pulled half of his spear out of his body and thrust forward with all his might.
Burst! The bloody spearhead pierced through the gap in the shield and plunged deep into a Han soldier behind the shield. At the same time as the other party let out a miserable scream, several other spears stabbed at Song Yi's body almost in no particular order.
Poof, poof, poof! Some spears pierced his chest, others pierced his lower abdomen. Time seemed to be frozen, and as several Han soldiers behind the shield withdrew their spears together, Song Yi was also brought out of several bloody arrows.
Poof! Song Yi couldn't hold on any longer, his knees bent and he sat on the ground, he poked the sword deep in front of him, and held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, supporting his crumbling body.
He slowly raised his head, looked at the Han Army shield array in front of him, and let out an angry and unwilling roar.
But soon his roar came to an abrupt end, and in an instant, five more spears pierced his chest, and the spearheads of the five spears poked out from behind him.
As the five spears were withdrawn, Song Yi fell forward headlong until he died, his eyes widened.
Song Yi can also be regarded as a good general in the Xinmang court.
In the battle against the Red Mei Army, it can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles and has repeatedly performed extraordinarily, but no one would have thought that such a warlike general would be lost in the small Yangguan City.
After Song Yi was killed, the soldiers of the Mang army under his command lost even the last trace of fighting spirit, and people shouted one after another: "Surrender!" We surrendered! ”
The Han army on the surrounding city wall did not stop firing arrows because of the surrender of the Mang army, the rain of arrows on the city continued to continue, and the soldiers of the Mang army in the city were still being killed by arrows in groups.
Liu Xiu raised his arm and said to the left and right: "Pass the order, stop firing arrows!" ”
Fu Jun, who was standing beside Liu Xiu, pulled out a ringing arrow and shot it into the air.
Chirp –
As a sharp whistle sounded in the air, the Han army's arrow array finally stopped.
At this time, looking at the city of Yangguan, there were corpses everywhere, and there were wounded everywhere, and there were originally more than 2,000 people in the reckless army, but now there are not even 1,000 people who can stand.
Even the reckless soldiers who survived were full of despair, and the people threw down their weapons and fell to their knees, their bodies shrunk into a ball. It was terrible, and tonight could be considered the most terrible experience of their lives.
Song Yi can think of night attack tactics, and Liu Xiu, who is familiar with the art of war, good at using tricks, and extremely good at perceiving people's hearts, how could he not think of it?
In his heart, there are actually two sets of ambush plans, one is to attack with fire, and the other is to attack with arrows.
Fire attack is more simple and crude than arrow attack, arrange the fire oil in the city in advance, and when the reckless army attacks, deliberately put it into the city, and then ignite the fire oil yourself, you can burn all the reckless army that enters the city.
It's just that the fire attack during the day made Liu Xiu clearly see the tragic situation of the reckless army that was burned to death, and then attacked with fire, Liu Xiu couldn't bear it, and after some thought, he finally decided to use the tactics of arrow attack.
Even so, the Mang army also suffered heavy casualties, more than 2,000 people, most of the casualties, and the last surviving Mang soldiers were only about 800 people, and many of them had arrow wounds.
The Battle of Yangguan was the first duel between the Mang army and the Han army after entering Yingchuan. As a result, the 5,000 vanguard army led by Song Yi and Wang Lian was almost wiped out here in Yangguan.
After that, Liu Xiu led his troops and attacked the camp of the Mang army in one go.
Liu Xiu and others set a fire and burned the large siege weapons carried by the Mang army, and all the materials, grain and grass that could be used by their own side were transported away.
The battle report of the Battle of Yangguan soon spread to Wangyi and Kunyang. Wang Yi read the battle report, and directly dropped the bamboo slip, so angry that he jumped like thunder, and scolded loudly: "Idiot! Useless waste! 5,000 soldiers, they couldn't capture Yangguan, where 1,000 anti-thieves were stationed, and they were wiped out by the anti-thieves, Song Yi, Wang Lian,
It's a false name, but it's actually a wine bag and a rice bag! ”
Fortunately, Song Yi was killed in battle, and Wang Lian was also captured by the Han army, otherwise, even if the two of them fled back, they would have to be executed by Wang Yi in anger, and they would die even more wretchedly.
Yan You secretly shook his head, went to Yingchuan and went to Nanyang, this was completely in the trap of the Han army, the Han army didn't expect to win in Yingchuan at all, they were just delaying time, delaying the time for Nanyang to prepare for the battle.
Now that their own army has entered Yingchuan, it is useless to say that these are useless, Song Yi and Wang Lian are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are lost in Yangguan, which is really suffocating.
Just when all the generals in the camp lowered their heads, too frightened to squeak, and didn't dare to gasp, an urn sounded: "General, the last general is willing to lead the army, break through Yangguan, mention Liu Xiu'er's head, and return to see the general!" ”
With the sound of the urn, a 'small mountain' stood up from among the generals, strode out of the ranks, came to Wang Yi, and intervened to give a salute.
The one who came out of the list was not an ordinary burly and tall figure, but a surprisingly burly and tall figure.
By modern standards, his height is two meters and three miles away, and his waist circumference is ten girths, standing there, not one head taller than the person next to him, but half a section taller, not stronger than the person next to him, but several times stronger.
At that time, with his stature, an ordinary carriage could not fit him or pull him.
This strange person, surnamed Juwu, has a single name, and is from Penglai in the East China Sea.
The amount of food of the giant is several times that of ordinary people, and the strength is even greater, which can lift thousands of catties, and the martial arts are strong, and they are unstoppable, and there are thousands of invincible bravery.
In addition, Ju Wuba also has a unique ability to press the bottom of the box, or an extraordinary ability, that is, he can trend a hundred beasts and use it for him.
Ju Wuba stood in front of Wang Yi, who was sitting behind the handsome case, and had to raise his head to see his face.
Wang Yi didn't like Ju Buba much, but he admired his martial arts. He waved his hand at Ju Wu and said, "General Ju Wu, sit." "The main thing is that he doesn't want to keep his head up all the time, too tired.
