Chapter 121 Breaking the City
"The last general," replied the general of the right army.
Zhang Xi looked at him with a serious face and said, "You must lead the right army to drag back the Goguryeo army back here, and the rear army is on the way, and I believe it can arrive in half an hour." This means that they must block 40,000 Goguryeo for at least half an hour.
"Yes, general, the last general will definitely complete the task," the general of the right army said confidently.
Zhang Xi patted him on the shoulder and then took more than 100 soldiers to the Orochi Pass.
At Orochi Pass, the soldier who asked for help, that is, Zeng Gang, was a cavalry captain of the Cavalry Battalion of the Second Legion of the Youzhou Army.
The unprepared Goguryeo soldiers were caught off guard by them. After a moment, more than 100 soldiers were killed by them, and only a few of them were injured.
And Li Tie, who attacked the city gate, was a little uncomfortable. At first, he was indeed caught off guard by the Goguryeo soldiers, but the reaction of the Goguryeo soldiers were tenaciously fighting with the soldiers of the Youzhou army, quite desperate posture.
There are less than 20 Goguryeo soldiers left, while 10 Youzhou soldiers were injured and 5 people died, and the losses were also great. Now they are dying with Youzhou soldiers.
And on the gate tower, Zeng just saw that Li Tie had not solved the enemy, and quickly took 20 people down to help the battle.
With the addition of these 20 people, the situation suddenly fell to the side of the Youzhou army. A moment later, with the death of the last Goguryeo soldier, the Youzhou army has taken control of the city gate.
"Open the city gate quickly", Zeng Gang said to Li Railway.
Li Tie nodded, and after a while, the heavy gate gradually opened.
"Quickly, kill them quickly." At this time, the generals left behind at the Orochi Pass led 2,000 people to look at the open gate with an anxious face and shouted ferociously to the soldiers.
Zeng Gang frowned and shouted, "Three people are in a group, each fighting, Li Tie, you take 10 people to guard the gate."
"rush", the two sides suddenly collided with each other. In the face of dozens of enemies more than their own, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army did not intend to retreat at all and took a desperate posture.
The battle suddenly became deadlocked. When the Gaoguli generals behind saw that 2,000 people were blocked by 30 people, they jumped their feet in a hurry and hurriedly said, "In front of the bow and arrow, shoot them to death."
Two hundred Goguryeo archers were ordered and hurried forward. At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers looked back. They didn't want to die under their own arrows.
As soon as Zeng saw that he loved you, his heart suddenly sank and quickly shouted to the rest of the people: "Go up and stick to them." Then he rushed to the Goguryeo army without hesitation. At first sight, other Youzhou soldiers also rushed over.
The remaining dozen people suddenly fought with dozens of Goguryeo soldiers.
"Shoot, shoot them to death," the general of Goguryeo blushed and roared crazily.
"But general, is our brother still there?" An archer turned around and questioned.
"Pa", the general of Goguryeo shook his hand with a big mouth and roared at him, "If we lose the gate and the big snake gate, we will all die. Shoot arrows for me."
The soldier wanted to cry without tears. The archers who received the order did not care about it and shot arrows one after another. They didn't want to be beaten by the mouth. Moreover, the general was right. As the saying goes, dead friends are immortal and poor.
So they no longer estimated it and said to themselves: Don't blame me after death.
"Sneak", after three rounds, almost everyone died. Zeng, who had several arrows in his body, just wanted to stand up, but he had no strength. With a "dong", he fell down. At the moment he fainted, he seemed to see thousands of troops and horses.
"Quickly, close the gate," the Goguli general did not care about Zeng Gang, who was dead, and shouted at the top of his voice.
The Goguli soldiers who were ordered rushed to the gate.
However, at this critical moment, the cavalry battalion led 5,000 Second Army cavalry to the gate.
The cold iron gun stabbed back and forth, and in an instant, more than 10 Goguryeo soldiers died under the gun.
"Fight", holding the long gun in his hand, the cavalry commander roared.
Roar!! Thousands of iron riders rushed to the Goguryeo pawns.
"array, array". Seeing the Youzhou cavalry rushing over, the general of Goguryeo shouted at the top of his voice, and his heart was half cold.
"Archer Shooting".
In an instant, several Youzhou military iron riders fell to the ground.
"The iron horse rushes through the battle," the cavalry commander shouted.
5000 cavalry instantly hit the Gaoju Libu army, like a tiger going down the mountain. The Goguryeo soldiers flew back one by one like waves in the sea.
After a while, the Goguryeo soldiers were killed and injured more than half. The Goguryeo general saw that there was nothing they could do and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat, withdraw quickly."
However, he was able to escape, but his soldiers were not so lucky.
"The first to third team immediately went to the city to eliminate the remnants, the fourth team went to the tower to guard, and the fifth team cleaned the battlefield." The cavalry commander gave orders in an order.
"Captain, we have found Captain Zeng Gang," a soldier came to fight in front of the cavalry commander and said excitedly.
"He's there. Take me to have a look," the cavalry commander hurriedly said.
When he came to the gate, the cavalry leader saw Zeng Gang who fell into the pool of blood and quickly asked, "How is he?" His tone was very anxious.
"Captain, Captain Zeng is fine, but he lost too much blood and fainted," a soldier said.
The cavalry commander was relieved and then hurriedly said, "Go and call the general doctor." "Commarch, his subordinates have sent someone to call," an officer replied.
"That's good," the cavalry commander nodded, "Take Zeng Gang down and take good care of him," the soldiers answered, and then carried Zeng Gang to the city.
About half an hour later, all the captains who were ordered to attack came back. Zeng Gang is the captain of the third-person team, and the third-person team is currently a squadron leader in charge.
"Captain", the five captains came to the gate building, but saw their commander standing behind a man, so they fixed their eyes and saw that this person was their legion commander Zhang Xi.
"General", five people said respectfully.
Zhang Li nodded to them and said, "How's it going?"
"We rushed to the barracks in the city and found that there were still a large number of enemy troops in the barracks, so we attacked on three sides and annihilated more than 1,000 enemy troops and captured nearly 7,000 people," reported by the captain of the 1,000th person.
It turned out that the Goguryeo general only brought 2,000 people to destroy Zeng Gang at that time, and the others stayed in the barracks in the city. Unexpectedly, the Youzhou cavalry came so fast and annihilated them before he could react, so he had to run away. As a result, the 8,000 people were almost dizzy. He became a prisoner of the Youzhou army.
"Okay, well done," Zhang Li praised.
"Thank you, General," the captain of the first to third-person team said in panic.
Zhang He waved his hand and said, "Well, you deserve it. Don't be modest." The three Weiwei is Nuo.
"First, the second-person team followed me to reinforce the right army. Sun Jiang, this snake pass will be handed over to you," Zhang He said to the cavalry commander. It turned out that the cavalry commander's name was Sun Jiang.
Sun Jiang said, "Yes, General."
After a moment, Zhang Xi rode out of the Orochi Pass with 2000.
At this time, Gao Ming had met the lieutenant who went to reinforce him. The lieutenant told him in detail about what had just brought someone to ask for help. Gao Ming was stunned and then said loudly, "No, something happened to the snake?"
"What's going on?" At this time, Cui Yong came over and asked, and now he no longer has the previous arrogance.
Gao Ming looked at him anxiously and said, "Now is not the time to explain. General, something may have happened to the Orochi Pass. Let's come back quickly."
Cui Yong was stunned and suddenly nodded.
Gao Ming stared at the lieutenant fiercely and roared, "The whole army runs forward."
Then he called the lieutenant I and said, "Now you take all the cavalry back to the Orochi Pass immediately. If you are fine, stay in the city for me. If someone attacks the city, send someone to send me a message immediately."
"General, what if the enemy occupies the Serpentine Pass?" The captain asked bravely.
Gao Ming was stunned and said, "Then wait for me outside the city and remember not to fight with them."
"Yes, general," he saluted Gao Ming, and then turned around and left.
