Chapter 925: Storming the Palace (1)
The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and the soldiers of the First Legion finally captured the most important stronghold on the city wall with their indomitable momentum and fighting power of weeping ghosts and gods!
When Wusun's banner was replaced by the Great Wei battle flag, an earth-shattering shout broke out on the battlefield, and the Wusun army's will to fight was almost collapsed at this moment.
The iron gate under the city gate was slowly raised, and the 10,000 First Legion, which had been waiting for a long time, rushed into the city like a whirlwind with a fierce shout.
The light cavalry ran over the panicked Wusun army like a torrent, and the Wusun army fell in large pieces, and the panicked escape escaped into the nearby alley.
The light cavalry was immediately divided into three parts, two of which were along the gallop road along the city wall towards the east and west gates to match the 7th and 8th armies that were feinting at the east and west gates, and the other part went straight down the central street towards the palace.
Three thousand light cavalry galloped along the street, and when they were halfway through the front, they suddenly encountered more than 1,000 Wusun light cavalry, who rushed to support the southern city gate after hearing the news.
The two sides engaged in a cavalry melee on the streets, although these Wusun light cavalry were the elite cavalry of the Wusun army, but compared with the light cavalry of the First Legion, it was too far from the light cavalry of the First Army, and it only took a quarter of an hour for the light cavalry of the First Army to defeat the Wusun light cavalry in one go. Immediately, thousands of light cavalry continued to kill towards the palace of Wusun King.
However, he didn't go far before he met a group of 15,000 Wusun infantry. Without saying a word, the two sides started a scuffle.
At first, the Wei light cavalry clearly had the upper hand, with the sprint of iron hooves and the swing of the barrier sword. The Wusun soldiers fell one after another. However, as more and more Wusun soldiers poured in, the Wei light cavalry felt as if they were stuck in a quagmire. Of course, the cavalry advantage was gone, and the cavalry on the high base of the war horse became the best target for the opponent. Often several spears stabbed together, and the Wei cavalry could not avoid it at all.
At the same time, the bloody battle on the city wall continued, and the Wusun army, which had been shaken by the army's heart, was simply unable to resist the tsunami-like attack of the First Army, and was retreating one after another. The main force of the First Legion was swarming in through the city gates, and one of them was particularly conspicuous, dressed in heavy black armor, with helmets and cheeks covering the entire head and face, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes. Wearing a dark cloak and holding a two-meter-long Mo knife, this is the king of the Wei army's infantry army, the Mo Dao Army.
In the palace hall, all the ministers were like ants on a hot pot, everyone was frightened, and in the harem, the palace maids were shuttling like headless flies, some holding large bags and small bags. Looks like he wants to escape.
The people of the royal city hid in their homes with closed doors and windows, huddled and shivering, their faces pale, and every shout and scream outside would startle them with a sense of unease. Some were cowered in the corner of the bed, holding a kitchen knife in their hands, their eyes full of fear and despair.
The thousands of light cavalry of the Wei army attacking the palace were caught in the torrent of infantry of the Wusun army. The situation is very unfavorable.
The leading officer commanded his officers and men in several attempts to break through the enemy forces, but they were unsuccessful. The officer immediately led the army to turn the horse's head and kill behind him, and the Wusun army was caught off guard and rushed out by the Wei cavalry.
The general of the Wusun army, Lal Thisan, hurriedly ordered the soldiers who tried to pursue them to line up on the spot. He knew that the siege of the city was now over, and that all he had to do now was to hold his position here so that the armies could be safely dispersed into the palace.
As soon as the Wei cavalry retreated, the main infantry of the First Army appeared in front of Lal Thissan and his men.
Looking at the majestic Wei army in front of him, the little excitement in the hearts of the soldiers under Lal Thi San's command because of the victory just now disappeared immediately, and Lal Thi San's expression was also grim.
The Wei army advanced to a place only thirty paces away from the Wusun army front and reined in the formation, and then the army formation split a road, and an amazing Wei army general appeared in front of everyone's eyes, it was the Wei army general Ma Teng.
None of the soldiers under Lal's command didn't know Ma Teng, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and Lal Tsan came back to his senses and glanced at the soldiers around him, and now many of them were showing fear. "Brothers, the queen has been kind to us, and today is the time to repay the queen!"
Lal Thisan shouted loudly, and the morale of the Wusun army had recovered slightly.
Ma Teng said to Lal Thisang with an indifferent face: "General Lal, if you don't want to shed a river of blood here, surrender!" ”
Lal Thiasan walked to the front line and hugged his fist at Ma Teng, "General Ma, you are a hero, but I, Lal Thiasan and the soldiers under my command are not bad breeds, even if Wusun is doomed, I, Lal Thisan, will fight until the last moment!" ”
Ma Teng glanced at the other party, nodded, raised the big knife in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Lal Thisang, I respect your loyalty and give you a chance to fight with me!" ”
"Thank you:" Lal Thiasan hugged his fist.
Lal Thisan looked at Ma Teng with a big knife, only to feel an invisible momentum pressing on him, making him unable to move, not daring to resist, no, if it goes on like this, there is no need to fight at all! Ma Teng, that's amazing!
"Ahh
Lal Thiasan suddenly let out a roar, urging the war horse to rush towards Ma Teng, and at this moment, he seemed to have broken free from the invisible net formed by Ma Teng's momentum.
Lal Thiasan rushed towards Ma Teng with a big sword, with a tragic smell.
At this moment, Ma Teng shouted violently, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand slashed out obliquely from top to bottom, and as soon as the knife light passed, I saw a stream of blood spurting out.
Lal Thissan looked up at the sky and fell with a bang.
Ma Teng glanced at Lal Thiasan's corpse, and a look of admiration flashed in his arrogant eyes, "Carry it down, so that you can be buried alive!" ”
The two soldiers answered the promise and carried Lal Thisan's body down.
Lal Thiasan fell, the morale of the Wusun army was greatly reduced, and they were completely defeated by a single charge of the Wei army, and at the same time, the west gate and the east gate were successively broken with the cooperation of the light cavalry attacking from the inside, and the soldiers of the seventh and eighth legions entered the city from these two gates respectively.
The Wusun army fought and retreated, retreating in the direction of the palace.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Queen Wusun and the army scattered from the city wall retreated into the palace, and the army in the palace at this time was about 80,000 people, of which the most elite silver wolf army still had more than 4,000 people, and only half of the rest of the army was a regular army, and the rest were civilian troops recruited not long ago.
Queen Usun and some of the troops scattered from the city walls retreated into the palace. And the army outside the palace was already completely strangled by the Wei army, and was ruthlessly annihilated by the Wei army in a hopeless battle.
As soon as she saw the armored and blood-stained Queen Wusun return to the palace, all the ministers gathered around. (To be continued.) )
