Chapter 665: Hold
"Forced into the gates?" Xu You's face changed slightly, and there were 5,000 soldiers who attacked the city, although there were Hun cavalry blockers, but at most, within a quarter of an hour, the Huns could not support it.
"This army is so powerful, the crossbow arrows in their hands don't seem to stop." The general's face was pale and he said, "Many generals died under the crossbow arrows. ”
"Gotta get in!" Xu You shouted that if he couldn't break through Youbeiping at this point, the so-called coalition army would have no hope.
The night gave convenience to the soldiers of the coalition army, and it also gave convenience to the crossbowmen under Chen Zhi's command, and the crossbow arrows caused a great psychological deterrent to the coalition troops besieging the city.
With the efforts of Chen Zhi and Hu Chuquan, the soldiers of the coalition forces who attacked the city began to retreat non-stop.
Seeing that the enemy army was approaching the city gate, Chen Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as the crossbow arrows were sufficient, it would be difficult for the enemy army to attack the city.
Gongsun Kang and the others were stunned to see the soldiers under their command being squeezed out of the city by the defenders.
Although they did not see what was happening in the city with their own eyes, it could be seen from the panicked expressions of the soldiers that this army that rushed to the aid of Youbeiping must be extremely powerful.
"The general trend is gone." Xu Yu sighed helplessly, what a good opportunity, but it is because of the thoughts of Badun, Yan Rou, and Gongsun Kang that there is a current situation, if Gongsun Yu captures the city gate, he can defeat the defenders at the fastest speed after the defenders do not react, the army can calmly enter the city, and even if Hu Chuquan leads the cavalry to arrive, it is difficult to change the situation, it is Gongsun Yu who led the elite to leave, so that the defenders can breathe, and what he didn't expect is that The defenders still have the means to fight back in the face of such a situation.
"What kind of army is that army rushing to the aid of Youbeiping?" Xu Yu said secretly.
The enemy troops at the city gate were gradually driven out of the city, and Chen Zhi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to close the city gate.
Seeing that the drawbridge was slowly pulled up, and the defenders on the city wall were in full array, Gongsun Kang and others reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
And said that Gongsun Yu led the elite to kill the Taishou Mansion, on the way to Tian Yu, although Tian Yu only had more than 800 people in his hands, but these soldiers were his personal guards, the two sides fought in one place, and it was also dark to kill, although Gongsun Yu was brave, but these guards were also good at cooperating, and under the defense, Gongsun Yu did not have much advantage.
"General, our army drove out of the city for the defenders in the city."
Gongsun Yu was shocked, the defenders in the city were full of more than 10,000 people, but his own side had more than 30,000 people, under such a surprise attack, the defenders were able to react so quickly, which caught him a little off guard, knowing that it was not time to fight with Tian Yu and others, if the defenders killed, even if he was brave, he would not be able to escape the dead.
"Retreat!" Leaving fifty people to block Tian Yu and the others, Gongsun Yu led the soldiers to kill Gongsun Du's residence, the city gate had been closed, and it was impossible to retreat from the city gate.
Gongsun Yu and others wanted to retreat, but Tian Yu didn't plan to let him go so easily, this battle was a shame for Tian Yu, although I don't know what the situation in the east of the city was, but the retreat of Gongsun Yu and others was a good signal, in his eyes, it was a solid right Beiping, and it was almost broken by the coalition army.
"Don't let these people get away." Tian Yu gritted his teeth and said, the muscles on his face trembled slightly because of anger.
"Whoa." More than 100 people responded violently, Tian Yu's physical and mental soldiers gave them a lot of encouragement, and the main general was not afraid of death, let alone them.
Gongsun Yu didn't expect that when these defenders were inferior in numbers, they would dare to pursue, but the situation in the city no longer allowed him to think more, and led the soldiers to flee towards Gongsun Du's residence in embarrassment.
The soldiers in charge of the pursuit were also very puzzled when they saw this scene, the east of the city was the target of the enemy's surprise attack, and Gongsun Yu and others did not go to the east of the city.
The battle at the city gate came to an end, and Chen Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to let Youbeiping fall as soon as he arrived in Youbeiping.
Hu Chuquan's gaze at Chen Zhi was very different, the strong combat effectiveness shown by the crossbowmen under Chen Zhi's command, even after he saw it, he was shocked, in the face of such crossbow arrows, even if it was an elite cavalry, I am afraid that there was only a situation of turning around and leaving, and what the Huns did was only to drive the foot soldiers who rushed into the city to Chen Zhi's range, which could reverse the disadvantage at the city gate, which can be said to be Chen Zhi's credit.
"General Hu Chuquan, there are still enemy cavalry raging in the city, and please send cavalry to destroy these enemy troops." Chen Zhi hugged his fists, and Hu Chuquan won his respect with his actions.
Hu Chuquan didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, he understood that the status of the Huns in the Bingzhou army was a little embarrassing, which was inevitable, after all, their previous identities were there, but in order to win more benefits for the Huns, he was willing to pay, from Lu Bu's body, he saw the hope of the rise of the Huns.
"General Chen rest assured, the cavalry that invades the city will definitely leave it with nowhere to escape." Hu Chuquan hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back, in the Bingzhou Army, all the generals who can lead a part alone have a high status, and Hu Chuquan naturally does not dare to slack off.
The rest of the cavalry was divided into three divisions and headed for the west, south, and north of the city.
After entering the city, the cavalry most wanted to do was to plunder, which was also their old rule, especially the Wuhuan people, who wanted to break through the Han people's city the most, because the Han people's city had what they wanted.
After the Wuhuan cavalry rushed into the city, they did not rush to attack the Taishou Mansion or the military camp in the city, but broke into the homes of the people.
The civilians of Youbei have been fierce for a long time, Gongsun Chan has a high prestige in Youbeiping, but also because he led the army of Youbeiping to win victories against the Wuhuan people, under the influence of Gongsun Zhan, the people of Youbeiping have developed a belligerent character, in the face of the ferocious Wuhuan cavalry, the people rose up to resist, there were no knives and guns, they used sticks, but such resistance was weak in the eyes of the Wuhuan people, and they did not mind waving the knives and guns in their hands to treat the Han people.
The 6,000 defenders were divided into three divisions, clearing out the enemy cavalry that entered the city, and most of the officers and soldiers in the army were from the right Beiping, and they had a deep hatred for the Wuhuan people.
Although there were more than 1,000 cavalry entering the city, they were quickly routed by the efforts of the defenders and civilians.
As the fighting subsided, the defenders of the city became more vigilant.
In the Taishou Mansion, Tian Yu, who was dressed in military uniform, had a gloomy face like water.
