Chapter 0035 - Breaking the City Gate (Asking for Votes, Asking for Points, Asking for Collection)
A hundred soldiers, led by Yu Wen, began to push the cart and run at an accelerated pace.
This is the eighteenth time they have struck the gate of Quanzhou City today.
"Brothers, work hard! Come on! Kill......" Yu Wen shouted loudly, looking up.
The speed at which the archers fired long arrows increased significantly, and the shieldmen cheered loudly for their comrades.
Yu Wen looked at the fire-filled city gate, looked at the city gate that had begun to smoke everywhere, and suddenly a huge hatred that could not be contained rose from the bottom of his heart.
It is this gate that has mercilessly devoured the lives of nearly 2,000 of his brothers today!
Yu Wen's face twisted violently with anger, and he gritted his teeth, wishing that he could immediately burn it, destroy it, and crash it away.
"The sky is dead...... Yu Wen shouted with all his strength.
......The Yellow Turban soldiers who were running at high speed were boiling with enthusiasm one by one, roaring with their leader.
"Huang Tian should stand ......" All the Yellow Turban soldiers downstairs at the city gate were excited and roared.
The ramming vehicle reached its maximum speed, and under the cluster of a hundred young men, it broke through the fire of eight giant bed crossbows, carrying the invincible momentum of thunder, and let out a huge roar, and rushed into the fire with unprecedented force, crashing into the city gate that was already covered in thick smoke.
"Boom ......"
There was a loud bang, the towers shook, and the earth shook.
The smoke in the gatehouse was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind and scattered in all directions, and the flames in the gatehouse were raging and swaying and dancing violently in the wind.
Yu Wen and his soldiers suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the city gate in disbelief.
The city gate was miraculously knocked open with a hole, a huge hole!
Yu Wen and the soldiers were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
Then they let out a great shout of joy, and then they ran away, roaring all the way, and no longer paying any more attention to the arrows and stones that were dropped from the tower. Braving the scorching heat, they stepped on the burning wood, rushed through the flames, and burrowed into the breaches of the city gates.
The gates are broken!
Quanzhou City was inadvertently opened a gap, a fatal gap!
Behind the city gates, the defenders stacked two one-man high barriers with earthen bags. The purpose is also to prevent the city from being broken to hinder the charge of the enemy's cavalry units and delay the enemy's attack. The main street under the city walls is filled with weapons, stones, and other tools for defending the city.
Some of the wounded soldiers and a large number of civilians who were busy on this street let out a terrifying cry of terror as if they had seen the devil.
The Yellow Turban soldiers began to enter the city of Quanzhou through the large hole, and then climbed over the barricade consisting of two obstacles.
The defenders began to shoot at the Yellow Turbans, some of whom fled in all directions, and many more chose to take up arms and join the fight against the invaders.
Yu Wen slashed a defender soldier with a sword, then swung his sword and flew several arrows to cover his subordinates over the obstacles.
In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty wolf-like soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army had already broken through the barricades and formed a defensive queue.
The swarming defender soldiers and the armed civilians of Quanzhou City immediately attacked them.
……
When Yue Fei heard the news, he was taken aback, and immediately ordered the drumming to call the police, and at the same time sent people to send an order to Cheng Pu and Han Dang, asking the defenders on the east and west walls to extend the defense line to the city gate tower.
Then, Yue Fei rushed down the city tower with fifty soldiers as fast as he could.
Under the city, the archery troops of the Yellow Turban Army of the Yuwen Division, after discovering that the city gate had been breached, immediately followed up, some stopped thirty steps away from the city tower, and continued to shoot at the city tower to suppress the counterattack of the defenders, and some approached the city gate under the cover of the shield soldiers, and quickly entered the city through the gap.
At the same time, the trumpeter blew the horn for a successful goal. The news of the trumpets was passed down one after another by the trumpeters, and for a time the night was filled with the sound of high and cheerful trumpets.
A smile finally appeared on Zhang Qun's gloomy face. He shouted happily to the heralds, "Herald army, take the northern wall before dawn." ”
The Yellow Turbans, under the command of the majestic drums of the charge, suddenly had a great boost in morale, and the momentum of the attack was once again high. When the soldiers heard the news that the city gate had been breached, they all became excited, and they roared, and danced their weapons to their heart's content, and rushed madly towards the city wall with a fierce and invincible momentum like a flood that had burst the embankment.
Yue Fei took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. He held high the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom in one hand and the Liquan gun in the other, and kept shouting: "Follow me to kill the enemy...... For the sake of the Han Kingdom, for the city of Quanzhou, for your homeland, for your relatives, kill ......"
Those people who were fleeing saw Yue Fei desperately facing the enemy without fear, and they all couldn't help but stop. They were shocked by the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom, inspired by Yue Fei's momentum, and moved by Yue Fei's shouts.
Then, they turned around and followed Yue Fei, and the fear in their hearts vanished with the sound of shouting and killing like a wave of rage.
……
Yu Wen's soldiers gathered more and more around the city gates, and a dozen soldiers were trying to remove the dirt bags near the hole in the city gate to make room for more soldiers to enter.
On the back of the three-zhang city gate, there are fifteen thick latches inserted horizontally from top to bottom, and there is no way to remove the thick and heavy latches without a ladder to ascend, and there is no possibility of opening the city gate in a hurry. The place that was shattered by the huge impact force is estimated to have been damaged by dozens of repeated collisions that day. Later, it was burned by a fire and eventually became vulnerable, being broken by the final blow of the crashing car.
The cavalry commander who followed Yue Fei on horseback roared and led the soldiers to gallop, and with full of anger, they did not hesitate to slaughter the enemy who was wantonly slaughtering living beings at the city gate.
The people picked up all kinds of weapons on the ground, and ran after them with hatred for the invaders.
Yu Wen struggled to kill a defender soldier, and when he looked up and saw the group of people rushing towards him, the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.
The defenders rushed forward, and at this time there was no need to worry about life and death, and if the battle was killed, the city would be captured. Everyone let go of their hands and feet, stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, completely ignoring the weapons that were cut on their bodies, and what they wanted to do was to kill people and kill the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of them.
Two defenders surrounded a Yellow Turban soldier, and the defenders facing the enemy did not resist at all, allowing their swords to penetrate their bodies, while their own knives slashed at the enemy's ribs in a roar. Another soldier gritted his teeth and rounded his sword, cutting off the enemy's head.
Untrained ordinary people, they often pay the price of several people to kill an enemy. But no one flinched, the relatives and neighbors in front fell in a pool of blood, and the people who followed closely behind roared frantically, still rushing forward one after another. They don't know how to use weapons, they hold them in their hands, bite with their teeth, and use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's steel weapons.
On the battlefield of flesh and blood, there is only the murderous aura that shocks the sky, only the soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, there is no fear, no crying, no retreat.
In the narrow space at the city gate, thousands of people were densely piled up. Everyone's anger and hatred were unleashed without limits.
Yue Fei was squeezed under the city wall by the surging flow of people, and no one noticed his presence anymore. Even the few guards who had been following him all this time gave up protecting him and were at the front of the battlefield.
He stared in amazement at the irrational crowd, sadly as pairs of brothers, fathers and sons died under the enemy's butcher's knife, and one ordinary good man after another fell to the ground. His tears flowed uncontrollably.
These ordinary people, these respectable and lovely ordinary people, when they were most needed in this city, everyone did not hesitate to stand up, and paid with their blood and lives without regrets.
