Chapter Thirty-Nine: Night Attack on Wuyang City
Li Zicheng could guess that there would definitely be people in Cao Ying who would rebel against him, but he never expected that the Ming army would actually move towards his lair at this time!
In Li Zicheng's opinion, even if the news leaks out, when the news arrives in Baofeng, and then Sun Chuanting confirms the news, in preparation for the dispatch of troops, and then the arrival of the army in Wuyang, it is absolutely impossible to do it without more than seven days, and seven days is enough to integrate the strength of Cao Ying.
However, Sun Chuanting acted quickly this time, in order to achieve the effect of being able to achieve the speed of the soldiers, Sun Chuanting left all the train battalions in Baofeng, and sent all the cavalry to raid the camp in Wuyang!
Niu Chenghu and Chen Yongfu led 40,000 elite divisions in one breath this time, day and night, and they quickly touched it!
It was at three or four o'clock in the second half of the night that the cavalry of the Ming army came to a place less than five miles away from Wuyang.
This time, the Ming army repeated the old tricks, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Niu Chenghu once again brought Zhu Jie's miniature bombs, and the two scouts, according to Professor Zhu Jie's method, fixed the miniature bombs on the walls of Wuyang City under the cover of night.
After quietly retreating to ten zhang away, he decisively pressed the detonator!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang shook the sky completely, and in the violent explosion, the city wall of Wuyang County collapsed a large area, and the soldiers who defended the camp above let out a terrible scream!
At the same time, the cavalry of the Ming army launched a fierce attack on Wuyang City!
In Shuaifu, when Liu Zongmin and Li Yan were resting, they were completely awakened by the violent explosion of this life!
This is the second time Li Yan has woken up from a nightmare!
Li Yan jumped up!
Explosion, another earth-shattering explosion!
Li Yan woke up in an instant, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat!
It's not good, the movement of this explosion is almost exactly the same as Xiangcheng, it is definitely a surprise attack by the Ming army in Wuyang City!
"Someone, someone! Quick, quick, immediately beat the drum to gather the generals, enemy attack, enemy attack! ”
Li Yan roared hysterically and came out of his room!
At this time, all the generals and officials of the Shuai Mansion woke up, and came to the courtyard one by one to watch, only to see a flame rising from the direction of the north city gate, and the soldiers who broke into the camp couldn't stop howling!
Li Yan's head was buzzing, it was broken, it was really the Ming army attacking the camp, you know, now King Chuang has transferred away the 40,000 elite forces of the camp in one go, if there is no obstruction of the city wall, the Ming army's divine soldiers descend from the sky, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it only takes one night to take Wuyang City!
"Brother Li Yan, what's going on?"
Liu Zongmin, who hurried over, shouted urgently.
"What's going on?"
Li Yan replied astringently: "General Quan, what else can it be?" We have been attacked by the Ming army again! Quickly, immediately deploy troops, ascend to the city for defense, and must not let the Ming cavalry break into Wuyang City! ”
"Fang Liang, Liu Fangliang! Immediately lead your 10,000 soldiers to the North City to fight! Lu Biao, lead the 5,000 infantry under your command, prepare to meet Liu Fangliang, and you must withstand the opponent's attack! The rest of the departments took control of the other three gates! ”
Li Zicheng is not there, Liu Zongmin is the best official in the entire Wuyang City, and he is also the main general of the camp, Liu Zongmin is eager to deploy troops.
In the northern city, the violent explosion swept a large part of the city wall out, not only killing a large number of soldiers, but even the soldiers patrolling the nearby camp were in great trouble, and the brick and stone debris flying everywhere hit a lot of unlucky people, and the ghost who smashed the army cried wolf!
In the midst of the chaos, the troops rushing to the explosion began to pour towards the explosion.
However, since that earth-shattering explosion sounded, the cavalry of the Ming army, who was familiar with the road, had already begun to launch a surprise attack, and how could the cavalry assault be stopped at a distance of four or five miles? In less than a moment, the cavalry had already rushed under the city walls!
The murderous cavalry of the Ming army urged the war horses and directly crossed the collapsed city wall and entered the city!
At this time, a group of soldiers who broke into the camp also rushed over in time to try to organize the attack of the Ming cavalry.
However, in the midst of panic, how easy is it to withstand the attack of the cavalry?
The two sides launched a fierce battle in the north city, the soldiers who broke into the camp desperately wanted to block the Ming cavalry outside, and the cavalry desperately wanted to rush into the city, in the blink of an eye, the corpses under the north city were all over the field!
However, this time, compared with the thunderous blow of the Ming cavalry last time, there was a little bit of precaution in the camp, Li Yan was Li Yan after all, and the troops used to maintain combat readiness at night were more than double that of before!
Although the sudden explosion brought hundreds of casualties to the camp, but soon thousands of soldiers rushed over from both sides, although the speed of the cavalry was fast, but after all, the narrow gap could not allow the large-scale cavalry to charge together, and the cavalry strength was limited to a certain extent.
Hundreds of cavalry and the infantry in the camp continued to fight on the city wall, one by one the soldiers fell into the camp, and then a large number of soldiers rushed up, especially after Liu Fangliang's troops arrived, the troops were even stronger, and the cavalry was forced to top the north city!
Thinking about the cavalry again, it was the same as last time, and it was easy to rush into Wuyang City, but it was a lot more difficult!
However, even so, if you want to drive all the cavalry out of Wuyang City, the people who break into the camp can't do it, one by one the cavalry continues to impact the gap in front of them, the strong impact of the cavalry has brought heavy casualties to the camp, and the soldiers of the camp are constantly retreating to the rear, and it is becoming more and more difficult to resist the impact of the cavalry!
"Someone, gather the archers for me, launch an attack on the cavalry in front, and beat them back for me!"
Liu Fangliang roared angrily.
A group of archers rushed up from behind and began to shoot fiercely near the city wall, and in an instant, the feather arrows fell like flying locusts, and both the intruding army and the Ming army were shrouded in feather arrows!
The dense feather arrows finally contained the impact of the Ming army, but immediately after, the cavalry in the rear launched a second wave of attacks!
A group of cavalrymen with three-eyed eyes in their hands began to rush over, and the army used bows and arrows, and the Ming army used divine guns, powerful firepower, which was better than the army!
"Quick, come here, immediately send a letter to King Chuang, asking King Chuang to return to the division immediately to help, after a long time, we will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Ming army!"
Li Yan shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes! Send an order to send cavalry to King Chuang for urgent help! Please come to the rescue immediately! ”
Liu Zongmin was also a little flustered at this time, the offensive launched by the Ming army was too powerful, so strong that even if Liu Fangliang tried his best, it was difficult to contain the impact of the opponent, and now without the obstruction of the city wall, the Ming cavalry could rush into the city at any time!
