Chapter 719: Panic
Of course, Du Dajaw knew that the Taiyuan soldiers couldn't come up with bows and arrows, but if they wanted to use an attack weapon that was a little farther away, it didn't have to be a bow and arrow.
Du Da coughed with his chin and said loudly: "Raise the spear in your hand, and when the Yan soldiers come, throw the spears in your hands out, try your best to resist the Yan soldiers, and buy time for the emperor to return to the city!" ”
There are 3,000 Taiyuan soldiers, even if he shouts his throat, not too many people will hear it, at most, the Taiyuan soldiers near him will hear it, and after the nearby Taiyuan soldiers heard it, many people showed anger on their faces, and let them resist here, just to buy Li Chongjiu time to escape!
Even the emperor escaped from the battle, why did they still sell their lives here, they sold their lives, just so that Li Chongjiu could continue to live well and then be his emperor?
These Taiyuan soldiers have no feelings for Li Chongjiu, and they haven't gotten any benefits yet, so it's almost impossible for them to sell their lives directly and fight with the Yan soldiers, besides, who is Du Da's chin, a general who only knows today, what's so good about his orders? You don't need to listen to it, just pretend you don't hear it!
Du Da Jaw knew that those Taiyuan soldiers were dissatisfied, but he didn't explain anything, and he didn't let the heralds give loud orders, but instead added fuel to the fire and said: "If the spear is thrown out, then pick up the stone and throw it!" ”
Sure enough, the nearby Taiyuan soldiers listened, that is, they were even more angry, but the Taiyuan soldiers in the distance did not get any orders, they were still at a loss, they could only follow the big slip, fortunately there was no escape yet, otherwise they would have dispersed in a hurry!
After Du Da gave the order, he resolutely retreated back, and after a while, the Yan soldiers rushed over, and under the indiscriminate killing, no one would necessarily notice him, General Du, in case he couldn't tell whether he was his own man or an enemy, then he was injured by mistake. Isn't it the most unjust!
As soon as he retreated like this, the nearby Taiyuan soldiers saw it, and they were even more angry, this bullshit general who only gave orders indiscriminately, it seemed that he was also going to escape, so they didn't need to work here, they were all brave soldiers, but they couldn't lose their lives in vain, the cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death escaped, and then lived. And the brave soldiers are all dead, no matter how you look at this, it's not a very commendable thing!
It was too late, it was fast, but it was just a moment of effort, and the Yan army brigade in the distance rushed over, but the Yan army brigade was carrying bows and arrows, and when there were still hundreds of zhang away from the Taiyuan soldiers, the Yan soldiers began to release arrows. All of a sudden, arrows rained down and shot at the Taiyuan soldiers.
The leading general of this team of Yan soldiers is Fu Bingrong, and a few days ago he took his soldiers and horses to walk around Taiyuan City. Pretending to collapse, he even threw the camp away, and then ran out far away, finding a place to camp dozens of miles away. Because there were no tents, the soldiers and generals slept in the wilderness, eating dry food and drinking cold water. Finally, I received an order from Yang Ze today, asking him to lead his troops to block the various paths outside Taiyuan City.
Fu Bingrong immediately led the team to set off, the last time the strength of Taiyuan City was virtual, in fact, he also touched it, he felt too weak, the Taiyuan soldiers were by no means a field army, so if they met in the wild, there was no need to worry about anything, it was estimated that they only needed to scare the Taiyuan soldiers outside the city to scare them away!
Just before ordering Yan Bing to shoot arrows just now, Fu Bingrong's lieutenant also persuaded him, and the lieutenant general said: "General, it's useless to shoot arrows from such a distance, first, our arrows can't shoot so far, and secondly, if we ride so fast, this arrow can't be accurate, and the accurate head is okay, but it's too far away, and the enemy soldiers don't need to erect shields, and our arrows will all be shot empty." ”
Other generals also think so, it's too far away, and the arrow can't shoot anywhere!
But Fu Bingrong snorted and said, "You don't need to shoot people, as long as you shoot an arrow, they will run away in fright!" ”
As if to prove that he was right, but a round of arrow rain pressed over, and indeed not a single Taiyuan soldier was shot, but I heard the Taiyuan soldier let out an earth-shattering scream, and then the Taiyuan soldier who stood the flag collapsed, turned his head and ran, ran fast, and then a large number of Taiyuan soldiers turned their horses and began to escape!
And among them, there are a few Taiyuan soldiers, it seems that they want to resist, at least they have to fight, and they can't escape again, but after the collapse of the Taiyuan soldiers, the few Taiyuan soldiers who want to be heroes can only be held hostage in the crowd and flee with them, but once they turn around and flee, they can't stop!
Seeing this, Fu Bingrong laughed, pointed to the Taiyuan soldiers who fled in front, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to really shoot them, you really plan to fight with them, don't be kidding, they won't give you this chance at all!" ”
The generals praised it and said that General Fu was like a god, but at the same time, they also shook their heads at the combat effectiveness of the Taiyuan soldiers, if Li Chongjiu really wanted to succeed with such an army, it would be a bit whimsical!
Du Da's chin was mixed in the crowd of routs, and he fled with the golden crow soldiers, and a golden crow soldier ran close to him and said, "Brother Du, let's just run away like this?" ”
Du Da chin smiled: "Otherwise, what else can I do!" But be careful, everyone, when we get to the city gate, we will enter the city last, and we will cut off the rear! ”
"Will you be injured by mistake?" This is not a single golden crow soldier worried, but all the golden crow soldiers are afraid of this kind of thing happening.
Du Da chin smiled, and said: "Don't worry, if you are here, you have to worry about accidental injury, but if you get to the city gate, then you don't have to worry about anything, and the accidental injury will definitely not happen!" ”
The Jin Crow soldiers barely let go of their hearts and fled in the large group of routs, but what comforted them was that the Yan soldiers in the back team did not chase very quickly, and they did not have the idea of rushing up and slashing and killing at all!
Running all the way, at the beginning a large number of Taiyuan soldiers can still run to one place, but running and running, some Taiyuan soldiers began to take the trail, and some drilled into the woods, anyway, as long as they can escape the Yan army brigade behind, how to escape, isn't it that everyone has their own wisdom!
In the boom, the Taiyuan soldiers finally saw the city wall of Taiyuan, and the Taiyuan soldiers who fled to the front had already stepped on the suspension bridge, and they were about to flee into the city!
At this time, Li Chongjiu, supported by two golden crow soldiers, went up to the city wall, and ran wildly just now. It was almost as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was almost paralyzed, but now the situation was critical, he just didn't dare to face Yan Bing anymore, but he had to go up to the city wall to see the battle situation, Du Da Jaw was definitely defeated, but Yan Bing didn't catch up, he could only see it when he climbed the city wall!
Wu Youren also came up from behind, and he was also helped up by the Jin Crow soldiers. And the Prince Cheng who came up from behind, the King of Jingde County, and a number of large and small lords, anyway, as long as they managed to escape back, they were all helped up, after such a wild escape, almost everyone understood that it was almost impossible to win if they wanted to fight against Yan Bing. The difference in force is too far!
Li Chongjiu walked to the side of the battlement, looked down, and the first thing he saw was the Taiyuan cavalry who fled back, and the 3,000 Taiyuan soldiers who followed him out of the city. 1,000 people are cavalry, the remaining 2,000 people are infantry, and those who can flee back after Li Chongjiu are cavalry first. However, the cavalry of more than a thousand men only fled back to four or five hundred, and half of the cavalry. I don't know where to flee!
Behind the cavalry, there were some Taiyuan lords who fell behind, although they were also on horses, but because their riding skills were not perfect, or they were a little injured, they did not escape quickly, and they were behind the cavalry.
After that, there is the Taiyuan infantry of the brigade, and now there are only half of the infantry of more than 2,000 people, and these infantry let out earth-shattering shouts while fleeing, as if it was not Yan soldiers chasing them behind, but a group of demons and monsters!
In fact, they were followed by a large number of people who went out of the city and wanted to pick up money, and the people fled more slowly, but fortunately, the Yan cavalry did not rush up and slash and kill, so although the people fled in a mess, there was no danger, about 10,000 people came out of the city, and now there are about 10,000 people who have returned, and they have not run away much.
Li Chongjiu's eyes widened, looking at the chaos below, he suddenly turned his head and asked Wu Youren: "Wu Aiqing, why did the generals scatter so much, but the people didn't lose much?" ”
Logically speaking, the army should be more disciplined, and the people should be more scattered, so even if they want to flee, the people should be scattered a lot, but why is it that the army is now scattered? This question really puzzled Li Chongjiu!
Wu Youren thought to himself: "Because the people are afraid of being alone, except for the people who are particularly bold, everyone thinks about gathering, and besides, the Yan army is also the army of the country, and it is not very good to kill the people viciously, at least before the Taiyuan soldiers are settled, they will not cut the people indiscriminately; But the Taiyuan soldiers are different, if they are caught by the Yan soldiers, it is very likely to be killed, the Taiyuan soldiers are just not as good as the Yan soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness, but they don't necessarily understand this simple truth! ”
However, Wu Youren couldn't answer like this, in order to comfort Li Chongjiu, he had to say: "It may be that General Du is going to have a decisive battle with the Yan soldiers, so take half of the soldiers to meet the enemy!" ”
Li Chongjiu didn't believe it, although his brain didn't turn very fast, he could still hear such obvious words of comfort, not only was he not comforted, but he was even more anxious!
At this time, the dust in the distance was raised, and a larger number of cavalry arrived, Li Chongjiu looked over, and saw that Du Da Chin and his group were running in the front, and behind were the Yan soldiers of the brigade, at this time the Yan soldiers were not far from the city, and the banners and military uniforms could be seen clearly!
Li Chongjiu was shocked, why did Yan Bing arrive so quickly, he didn't even enter the city for a while, but Yan Bing followed closely, he shouted at Wu Youren: "Spread my will, close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!" ”
Wu Youren also scolded in his heart, that Du Da chin is really a waste, with three thousand soldiers and horses, even Yan Bing can't stop it for a quarter of an hour, and he also led Yan Bing to run towards the city gate, this Du Da chin, can he be more wasteful?
Listening to Li Chongjiu shouting at him, Wu Youren was also annoyed, what's the use of shouting at him, this city gate is not closed, he said that it doesn't count, he has to shout at Prince Cheng and them, this Taiyuan City is someone's nest!
Wu Youren said to Prince Cheng: "Old prince, please ask someone to close the city gate quickly, this is the emperor's will!" ”
Prince Cheng and the King of Jingde County beside him, both of them were stupid at this time, they didn't expect Yan Bing to come so soon, but at this time, there was a little difference between them and Li Chongjiu!
Although Prince Cheng and King Jingde also wanted to close the city gate, they were afraid that the Yan soldiers would take the opportunity to enter the city, but there were still tens of thousands of people outside the city, as the local vassal kings of Taiyuan, no matter how afraid they were, they had to say a word or two to the people of the city, no matter how they were, they had to mean it!
Prince Cheng stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to wait for all the people to enter the city before closing the city gate?" ”
He knew that this was impossible, looking at the tens of thousands of people, especially in such a chaotic situation, even if the city gate was wide open, it was estimated that it would not take more than half an hour, and he would not want to enter the city, but he still wanted to say this kind of thing, who made him himself a Taiyuan person!
But in the short time when Prince Cheng spoke, the Yan soldiers blew the horn of attack, and a large number of Yan soldiers began to speed up and gallop, this horn came from afar, but Li Chongjiu was frightened, if it was his own army that blew the horn, then it would only make him feel excited, but it was the enemy who blew the horn, it was too terrible, especially when the city gate was not closed and the drawbridge of the moat was not raised, it was even more terrifying!
Li Chongjiu was almost hysterical, he scolded Prince Cheng angrily: "Close the city gate, are you deaf!" ”
Prince Cheng had no choice, but in fact, he was relieved in his heart, he also wanted to close the city gate, but such a cruel order could not be given by him, by Li Chongjiu, the new emperor, it was no better.
Prince Cheng was busy giving orders to his children and grandchildren, his eldest son was the most capable, especially in the life of leaving the family, he had accumulated a lot of skills, although his eldest son was also very scared at this time, but in terms of executing the order, there was still no problem, and then ran down the city, and notified the Taiyuan soldiers guarding the gate to close the city gate.
The suspension bridge is full of big and small lords who have fled back, and some Taiyuan soldiers, the common people are not able to run so fast at this time, let alone go to the suspension bridge, but there is still some distance from the city gate!
The Taiyuan soldiers first raised the suspension bridge, and the people on it fell directly into the moat, and the screams sounded immediately, and even some nobles on the city wall found that among the people who fell from the moat, there were relatives of their own families, and these nobles begged loudly, begging Li Chongjiu to wait for the city gate to close, so that their relatives could enter the city!
At this time, not only Li Chongjiu was anxious, but even Wu Youren couldn't control his emotions, Wu Youren shouted: "Yan soldiers are not sudden soldiers, they won't kill the people, so it will not be dangerous to let the people spend the night outside the city!" ”
When everyone was stunned and couldn't believe his words, they heard this Lord Wu shout again: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!" ”
Finally, in the sound of squeaking, the city gate of Taiyuan was closed, and the suspension bridge was also raised, not only locked the Yan soldiers outside the city, but also tens of thousands of Taiyuan people, as well as thousands of Taiyuan soldiers, were also locked outside the city!
