"Someone, pass the order, let Han Qingshi lead two thousand foot soldiers, and rush to Beicheng to support Chen Huayuan, the Beicheng Gate must not be lost.
In addition, didn't someone say before that they would never let their cavalry go up to the city wall to defend the city, and would rather lead people out of the city and kill the thieves by surprise!
Okay, now I order, Qi Wei's cavalry, immediately gallop to the north city gate, and allow it to kill outside the city, I hope you can kill the thieves and soldiers. ”
At this time, Chen Yongfu's eyes had already looked at Qi Wei and said in a deep voice.
After Qi Wei heard Chen Yongfu's words, his eyes were also cold, knowing what Chen Yongfu had in mind at this time, but this was exactly in line with Qi Wei's intentions.
So, Qi Wei directly received the order: "Qi Wei received the order and was willing to take people out of the city." In that case, the general will take his leave. ”
After speaking, Qi Wei no longer paid attention to Chen Yongfu, and left directly with two cronies, went down to gather the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion, and prepared to kill the north gate of Kaifeng.
"Good."
Then, Chen Yongfu lowered his head again, looked at the soldier who was still kneeling on one knee, and said, "You go back and tell Chen Huayuan that this is also the first support sent to you by this official, and it will also be the last."
The official doesn't know how many thieves are attacking the North City Gate tonight, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 people, Chen Huayuan also has to be guarded by the official.
Moreover, I am also expected to send you how many reinforcements this officer can send you later, do you understand? ”
"Yes, the subordinates must convey it to General Chen."
Chen Yongfu really won't send reinforcements to the North City Gate anymore, because the reserves in his hand, a total of five or six thousand people, have been sent out two thousand now, and those who are still on guard in other directions.
Mainly, Chen Yongfu always had a hunch that he felt that the direction of the thieves' attack would still be placed in the south, and the night attack on the north city gate was just a disguise.
Soon, the Ming general named Han Qingshi gathered two thousand foot soldiers and prepared to rush to the north gate of Kaifeng.
Before leaving, Chen Yongfu walked up to Han Qingshi and whispered to him: "Qingshi, when you arrive at the north gate of Kaifeng and see Chen Huayuan, tell him."
Let him open the city gate, let Qi Wei's cavalry kill out, and then close the city gate immediately, be careful not to let the thieves take the opportunity to kill in.
After the men and horses led by Qi Wei are killed, you can just seal the city gate, and you don't need to open the city gate for them anymore, understand? ”
When Han Qingshi heard Chen Yongfu's words, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, Chen Yongfu didn't plan to let Qi Wei's Flying Feather Camp return to the city!
There are so many thieves outside the city, and such a cavalry is killed, I am afraid that it is more than lucky, and they are not allowed to return to the city, which is really ruthless.
"Yes, my subordinates remember."
Although Han Qingshi secretly sighed in his heart that Chen Yongfu was going to die, that general named Qi Wei, he could only obediently agree.
"Drive!"
Qi Wei quickly gathered more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion, and then led them to the north city gate.
At this time, the battle at the North City Gate had entered the most tragic stage, and the breaking army had even killed part of the city wall.
This is mainly because Li Guo and Song Xiance are well prepared, they carry hundreds of ladders, and carry out a strong attack on the north wall of Kaifeng, which is dozens of meters long.
In addition, the inconvenience of sight at night greatly reduced the damage of the archers and firecrackers of the Ming army on the city wall.
Although Chen Huayuan tried his best to deal with it, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, several soldiers still fought on the city wall and quickly gained a foothold.
And Chen Huayuan, with dozens of cronies, turned into the captain of the fire brigade, and if there was a sergeant there, he would lead people to run there.
Then, drive down the soldiers who have not yet gained a foothold on the city wall.
But the strength in Chen Huayuan's hands is limited after all, and in the end, there are still several soldiers who have firmly established themselves on the city wall.
These intruders are lined up in a semi-arc shape, protecting the battlements behind them, covering the intruders behind them, and they can rush up through the ladder.
"Why haven't the reinforcements from the chief soldier been sent yet?"
Chen Huayuan was also anxious at this time, he not only underestimated the number of soldiers who attacked at night, but even their combat strength.
You must know that tonight, Song Xiance, Li Guo and Gao Guiying, the three generals, led the elite of the 10,000 breaking army, but they did not participate in the siege of the city during the day.
They rested for a day and recuperated their spirits, just for tonight's night attack, of course, their combat power was strong.
At this time, the only thing Chen Huayuan was fortunate enough for was that when he started to attack, he sent people to the government to rescue Chen Yongfu.
According to the distance between the north gate and the government office, now that an hour has passed, their reinforcements should be arriving soon.
Thundered!
At this time, a black-pressed cavalry was the first to arrive at the North City Gate.
"General, it's our reinforcements that have arrived." A soldier shouted excitedly to Chen Huayuan.
"Okay, huh? What are you doing, how did you come to be a cavalryman? ”
When Chen Huayuan heard the news of the reinforcements, he was excited at first, but when he saw that it was a cavalry, his face immediately changed.
"Who are you leading the group? Is there a cavalry of yours? ”
Chen Huayuan stood on the city tower and shouted to Qi Wei and the others below.
"I am the commander of this cavalry, we are cavalry, we came first, and there are two thousand foot soldiers led by General Han Qingshi behind, we should be able to arrive soon.
What's the situation here now? Qi Wei looked at Chen Huayuan on the city tower and shouted loudly.
"It's terrible, there are already thieves on the city wall, and there must be tens of thousands of thieves this time, all of them are elites, and I can't stand it."
Chen Huayuan said with an indignant face.
"Then, General Chen, please open the city gates, lower the drawbridge, and let me lead my cavalry to kill them.
The thieves would never have thought that we dared to kill them outside the city at this time, and we could take them by surprise, and perhaps relieve the pressure on you to defend the city.
This is also the order of General Chen. Qi Wei shouted to Chen Huahua.
"Are you really going to get out of the city? There are a lot of thieves outside the city, so you will be very dangerous. ”
After listening to Qi Wei's words, Chen Huayuan showed a hint of admiration in his eyes and spoke.
"Don't worry, we are sure, not to mention that there are only 10,000 thieves outside the city, even if they give them 20,000, they will not be able to keep us.
Please also ask General Chen to order the city gate to be opened and the drawbridge to be lowered.
When we're all out of the way, you put away the drawbridge and close the gates, so you don't let the thieves take advantage of it. ”
Chen Yongfu didn't plan to let Qi Wei re-enter the city, but as everyone knows, Qi Wei didn't plan to come in again after leaving the city.
"Okay, since it is General Chen's order, I will carry it out. Come on, open the gates, lower the drawbridge, and let them go out. ”
Chen Huayuan naturally obeyed Chen Yongfu's orders, and immediately ordered Qi Wei and them to kill out of the city.
Because, Chen Huayuan was under a lot of pressure to defend the city at this time, and he also hoped that what Qi Wei had just said would come true, let them fight out of the city, and share some pressure with them.
Click, Peng!
Soon, the north gate of Kaifeng was opened, and at the same time the suspension bridge over the moat was lowered.
"Soldiers, kill Lao Tzu, let's go to the general to meet.
Remember what Lao Tzu told you before, after rushing out of the city, you must keep the formation undispersed, and anyone who dares to block us in front of you will be killed!
Now, rush out with Lao Tzu and kill! ”
Qi Wei roared angrily, and then took the lead in riding out of Kaifeng City.
"Kill!"
And the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion behind him, after hearing Qi Wei's shouts, were also in high morale, and rushed out of the city with a roar.
Thundered!
Qi Wei led more than 2,000 cavalry soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion, turned into a torrent, quickly passed through the north gate of Kaifeng, and then killed out of the city.
Outside the city was now crowded with soldiers, who had not been able to bring siege engines tonight, they were too bulky for their night raids.
This made it possible for the soldiers to rely solely on the ladder to kill the north city wall of Kaifeng tonight, and they had no idea of breaking the gate of Kaifeng at all.
Therefore, at this time, many soldiers suddenly saw that the north gate of Kaifeng was opened, and even the suspension bridge was put down by them, and they were immediately surprised.
Thundered!
Just before these soldiers woke up in surprise, the earth shook slightly, and Qi Wei had already led more than 2,000 flying feather cavalry and rushed out.
Poof!
The Flying Feather Cavalry came out in a group of four horsemen, and rushed out of the Kaifeng City Gate in turn, and directly cut off the heads of several soldiers who were running into each other.
Then, when Chen Huayuan stood on the city wall at this time, he could see that the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion who rushed out of the city immediately divided into two teams and killed them along the left and right sides of the Kaifeng moat.
Peng Bang Bang!
One by one, the flying feather cavalry threw all the clay pots they carried to the ground and smashed them, so that the fire oil inside was directly sprinkled all over the ground.
Then they threw out a torch, and with a 'whoosh', the oil stained with the flames burst out in an instant, and burned violently.
From east to west, after the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion rushed through, they left a fire road dozens of meters long outside Kaifeng City, and the raging flames directly cut off the soldiers who attacked one after another.
This is equivalent to cutting off the follow-up force of the invading army to attack the northern city wall of Kaifeng.
"Okay, this Qi Wei has some ability."
Chen Huayuan stood on the city wall, and after seeing this scene, he also excitedly slapped the cold stone bricks of the city wall, and shouted excitedly.
At the same time, he also knew that at this time, it was he who led people to quickly kill those soldiers who broke into the city wall and gave them a chance to kill or drive them down.
"You bring people with me, and kill all the thieves who climbed the city wall. Kill! ”
Chen Huayuan led his cronies and soldiers to kill the soldiers on the city wall again.
At this time, Qi Wei's cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion had already completed the release of fire oil.
Immediately, they went from one east to the other to the west, and the two cavalry were like two dragons, constantly rushing towards the center, constantly devouring the lives of a large number of intruding soldiers.
When Qi Wei's two cavalry teams returned to the center from the east and west, they immediately recombined into a team, and then went to the north to kill the team of thieves and disappeared into the vast night.
"Lao Tzu did this for you before leaving, he has done his duty, Han Qingshi's reinforcements should have arrived, so it should be impossible for the thieves to attack Kaifeng from the North City Gate tonight."
Qi Wei rode on his horse, couldn't help but look back at the bright north city wall of Kaifeng, and said in a low voice.
Although Qi Wei was very dissatisfied with Chen Yongfu, he still did not forget Li Zixiao's previous advice to him, and he couldn't watch the army successfully enter Kaifeng City.
Therefore, Qi Wei helped Chen Huayuan before leaving.
Qi Wei believed that he had a little bit of Chen Huayuan like this, interrupting the rhythm of the attack of the invading army, which was enough to make the attack of the invading army fall short tonight.
As for how long they will continue to fight next, Qi Wei doesn't bother to care, anyway, when the time comes, it will all be the men and horses on both sides of them.
This time, Qi Wei suddenly came out of Kaifeng City, and he really caught the army off guard.
Li Guo and Song Xiance never thought that there would be cavalry of the Ming army and dare to kill them at this time.
Moreover, the isolation zone composed of Qi Wei with fire oil interrupted the offensive rhythm of the intruding army, directly disconnecting their follow-up offensive forces.
And Chen Huayuan is also very good at seizing the opportunity, taking advantage of that flame belt, to isolate many soldiers and soldiers, so that the number of soldiers who poured onto the city wall was greatly reduced.
Chen Huayuan immediately led his cronies and elites, launched a counterattack, killed all the soldiers who had just gained a foothold on the city wall, and recaptured all the sections of the city wall again.
"Damn it!"
At this time, Song Xiance looked at the soldiers who were constantly killed and fell down on the city wall, his face was gloomy, and he roared angrily.
Immediately, he turned his head to look north, and with the help of the light of the firelight belt, he saw Qi Wei's cavalry team heading north, as well as the 'White Snake' flag that gradually disappeared into the night.
"It's Li Zixiao's White Snake Army again, you guys are really ghostly! Li Zixiao, you have ruined another good thing for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is inseparable from you in this life. ”
Looking at the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion that had completely disappeared into the night, Song Xiance looked up to the sky and roared.
Last time, Song Xiance suffered a heavy defeat to Li Zixiao in the Wushi Mountain south of Luoyang, and that battle was regarded as a shame by Song Xiance, obviously they had an absolute advantage, but they were defeated in the end.
Since then, Song Xiance has been seriously hostile to Li Zixiao in his heart, and the White Dragon Army under Li Zixiao has always wanted to find an opportunity to fight with Li Zixiao and wash away that shame.
However, before he could find an opportunity, he fought with Li Zixiao's White Dragon Army again to wash away his shame.
Just tonight, the Feiyu Battalion led by Qi Wei once again disrupted their good deeds, seeing that there were more and more soldiers rushing to the north wall of Kaifeng.
If this continues, their advantage on the northern wall will become greater and greater, and they will be able to completely occupy the northern wall before the Ming reinforcements arrive.
At that time, even if the reinforcements of the Ming army came, it would be useless to rush again.
They then signaled to Li Zicheng and asked Li Zicheng to attack from the south, maybe they could enter Kaifeng tonight, and Kaifeng City would be theirs.
Now, that band of flame had shattered their hopes.
At this time, Song Xiance listened to the cheers of the Ming army on the city wall, and knew that the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived.
Tonight's battle, they are completely hopeless.
