While Wu Gaojing was thinking hard here, Chao Guang did not ask the soldiers for any useful information. The soldier just saw the enemy coming, so he hurried to report to Chao Guang, but he didn't even look at it. Know the origin of that soldier.
Chao Guang was also a little impatient, so he simply shouted: "Go, let's go up to the top of the city and have a look." As he said, he strode outside. Wu Gaojing glanced at Chao Guang's back, then turned to look at Zhang Ling who was lying on the ground and humming, shook his head, but quickly followed.
Soon, Chao Guang and Wu Gaojing rushed to the city head south of the city. Just stepping on the city head, Chao Guang and Wu Gaojing were dumbfounded by the formation outside the city. I saw outside the city, all black and black, all soldiers and horses, to mention that there were tens of thousands of people. On both sides of the enemy's army, nearly five thousand cavalry were lined up and staring at each other.
If it weren't for the city wall to obstruct it, I'm afraid that just the cavalry charge would ruin the power of the defenders in the city. However, this did not reassure Chao Guang and Wu Gaojing, because in the center of the enemy's army, a sword and shield soldier was lined up in neat rows and began to advance toward the city wall. After all, just looking at the momentum of this sword and shield soldier is enough to prove that it is a powerful army.
"Zhao Family Rebellion Army." Chao Guang's eyes narrowed, and his cheeks were constantly trembling. For this army, Chao Guang couldn't be more familiar with it. From the first encounter with Pingxiang that year to the later battle of the Yingshan Barracks, the Zhao Family Rebellion Army The influence left to Chao Guang is quite profound. After many years, encountering this army again, Chao Guang still felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart.
"How could this be? Why did Zhao Jun appear here?" Wu Gaojing finally couldn't help but yelled. Although Wu Gaojing is usually calm, he is still just a civilian who has never been on the battlefield. Family children. In the face of so many enemies, but Linjiang Military City has only a mere garrison of less than 5,000 people, Wu Gaojing can no longer maintain his former composure.
"Shut up." The straight-tempered Chao Guang didn't care about Wu Gaojing's background. He glared at Wu Gaojing and said coldly: "You don't understand such a simple fact? Just you. The tricks made have failed. Not only that, but we were also calculated by the other party. Forget it. This is just what I want. I want to see if the Zhao family rebels are still as powerful as before. My military order is to mobilize all the soldiers and horses to the top of the city and defend Linjiang Military City."
As the so-called will be the bravery of soldiers, Chao Guang's roar finally calmed down the frightened Liu Guang soldiers on the city. Although Zhao Jun is great, Liu Guang's troops are not bad. Soon after Chao Guang's command, he began to orderly set up a defensive formation at the head of the city.
However, after all, it was a temporary city defense. It was obviously much simpler to respond to the enemy in a hurry, but now Chao Guang can't take care of that much, because the Zhao family's army has already rushed under the wall.
"The archer is covering! Shoot!" "The archer is ready! Raise! Shoot!"
The loud shouts of the two sides rang from the top of the city and from under the wall respectively. Then, with a dense burst of air, countless arrows intertwined between the city and the wall, taking away the lives of many soldiers on both sides. Under the city wall, Shan Shanyue and General Li, the son of General Zhao Jun, who was in charge of commanding the battle, frowned at the same time. They looked at each other. It was obvious that the enemy general could organize such an effective defense in haste The methods are a bit surprised.
However, this is not the time to be surprised, Shan Shanyue's complexion sank, and he shouted: "The ladder stepped forward. The archer continued to cover. He rushed to the top of the city."
Shan Shanyue's decision was very decisive. Under Shan Shanyue's command, the Zhao Jiayi army braved the rain of arrows shot from the top of the city, and continued to attack the city. On the top of the city, Chao Guang did not hesitate. He stood proudly by the female wall, pointed his brow leaf sharp knife in his hand to the outside of the city, and shouted: "The archer continues to attack. Has the boiling oil been burned yet? Rock. Move the rock. Smash it. Smash the enemy down."
Although Chao Guang’s command did not contain any loopholes, this time Zhao Jun’s attack came too suddenly, and there were not too many defensive equipment on the front of the city, not to mention rolling oil and stones, even arrows. Did not prepare much. After several rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the arrows of the archers on the city were quickly used up, and the boiling oil and stones that Chao Guang needed were not yet ready. Seeing Chao Guang's heart was anxious, but he was helpless
. Seeing that the soldiers of the Zhao Jiayi army were about to climb up the city like countless ants, Chao Guang exploded with a swear word, and directly raised his eyebrow blade and shouted: "Everyone! Pull the knife! Take the gun. ! Ready to meet the enemy."
Following Chao Guang's order, Liu Guang's generals on the front of the city drew out their melee weapons, and even the archers drew out the daggers that they were equipped with at their waists.
There were too few soldiers and horses temporarily assembled on the city head, with only less than a thousand people. If you want to block the opponent's attack, all the power on the city head must be put in. Moreover, an archer who has no arrows has no other effect besides fighting the opponent.
"Kill." Seeing a person's head emerge from the female wall, Chao Guang's eyes, who had been waiting for a long time, flashed with cold eyes, lifted the knife and slashed. Without any suspense, as a stream of blood gushed out like spray, the head of the man flew into the sky in an instant, and the body without the head just swayed on the wall, then flipped directly back and fell off the wall. .
With Chao Guang's knife, the most tragic hand-to-hand battle on the city's head had begun. For a while, blood mixed with severed limbs scattered on the heads of the Zhao Family Rebellion Army under the city wall, but the Zhao Family Rebellion Army soldiers did not respond. They stared red eyes and continued to face the front. A ladder that had been fixed on the city wall rushed past.
These ladders are not comparable to the simple ladders used in previous battles. These ladders look like towering chariots. At the top of the ladders, metal barbs are deeply embedded into the city wall. Inside the stone bricks, below the ladder, there is also the base of the ladder. In this way, the soldiers of Liu Guang on the front of the city couldn't even push these ladders away.
And these ladders came from the close-door elite disciples of Mingjiao who took refuge in the account of King Zhao Zhen. Since those elite disciples of Mingjiao behind closed doors have taken refuge in the account of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen naturally will not keep such a big treasure and use it. To this end, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also set up a special research and development department, all of which is handed over to these closed-door children of Mingjiao.
"Hey. Don't say it. It's just made some changes, and the original simple ladder can also become so useful." Shan Shanyue smiled, looking at the ladders fixed on the city wall, turning his head to the one next to him. General Li said: "It's just a barb, a base and a few wheels below, which makes the ladder practical so convenient. Haha, when fighting in the past, the ladder was not all a one-time consumption. I did not expect that the ladder can also play such a role."
General Li also smiled faintly, but he was much more stable than Shan Hongfei’s son Shan Shanyue. He turned his head and said to Shan Hongfei’s son Shan Shanyue, “Now you can’t take it lightly. You see, the enemy general on the top of the city. The ability is not low. Just such a hard charge, even if it breaks through the city, it will lose a lot. It seems that we need to use other means." As he said, General Li gave a thumbs up and pointed behind him.
Shan Shanyue and General Li have been partners for so many years. They immediately understood what General Li meant and nodded and said, "Okay. It's time to use those guys. I think General Zhang Long can't wait." General Zhang Long and the others in Shanshanyue's mouth were the official general Zhang Long who led Qingqi on both sides of the army formation. This time, he and several generals were responsible for Qingqi's raid on Linjiang Military City.
Immediately, Shan Shanyue turned around and made a gesture to his back. Then, he saw the Zhao Jiajun soldiers who had been guarding behind the army slowly pushing out five or six huge vehicles. These cars were wrapped tightly by coarse cloth, and from the appearance they were only square and square, with about three people as tall as the cars, but I didn't know what they were.
But soon the mystery was about to be revealed, these cars were pushed to the front of the army, only a few soldiers walked aside, and at the same time they pulled the coarse cloth of these cars and pulled hard. With these coarse cloths being lifted, these cars also revealed their true colors.
The five or six cars are square in shape, and the tops are all wrapped in leather. The front and back of the cars are hollowed out. A huge log is hung inside. The front end of the log is covered with a layer of metal, carved with a certain The head of a monster. Watching the soldiers push these weird cars out, Zhang Long, Wei Xu and Zhang Long among Qingqi on both sides all smiled in unison, and directly waved at Qingqi behind him and shouted: "Brothers! Lined up! Always be ready to attack."
In the middle of the battlefield, the strange vehicles slowly approached the city wall as the soldiers pushed hard. Because the Zhao Jiayi army had already attacked the city’s head, the defenders on the city’s head could not stop these slow-moving weird cars at all. They could only watch these cars sticking to the city wall, and the largest one was It is directly on the city gate. Immediately afterwards, I saw the soldiers pushing the car rushing up, but they all got into the car, and saw that they worked together to hold the huge log hanging in the car, spotted the city wall in front, and slammed into it. .
These weird cars are rushing cars, but this kind of rushing cars have been improved by turning the small gears of the big gears personally presided over by Xin Wang Zhaozhen, and they are more powerful than ordinary rushing cars. The top of the rush cart is also specially covered with protection. The top covered with leather and iron can effectively resist the attacks of arrows and flames and protect the soldiers in the rush cart. In the current situation in Linjiang Military City, there is no need to worry about the safety of the rushing vehicle at all, and it is safe to launch an attack.
"Boom! Boom!" As the rushing car launched repeated attacks on the city gate and city wall, Chao Guang, who was standing on the top of the city and fighting, could even feel the vibration of the city wall under his feet. Chao Guang's expression changed involuntarily, and he slashed an enemy over with a stab. He stretched out his head and looked down the city wall. Chao Guang's expression became extremely ugly when he saw those rushing attacks. Although Chao Guang had never seen such a rush vehicle before, he had worked hard on the battlefield for so many years, and Chao Guang knew at a glance that if the rush vehicle continued to attack, the gate of Linjiang Military City would be broken sooner or later. But the problem is that Chao Guang now has no means at all to stop the attack of the car.
"Asshole!" A soldier of the Zhao Family Army wanted to attack Chao Guang from behind, but was chopped into two pieces by Chao Guang's backhand. Chao Guang wiped the blood stains on his face and looked left and right on the city. . At present, the two sides on the top of the city can still fight evenly, but Chao Guang can also see that the enemy is still pouring up continuously. I am afraid that this city head cannot be defended. Chao Guang immediately waved his knife and shouted: "All The army retreats! Retreat into the city! Retreat!"
Under Chao Guang's order, those Liu Guang soldiers who were still entangled with the Zhao Jiayi army began to slowly retreat from the city. However, this does not mean that Chao Guang intends to withdraw from Linjiang Military City in this way. Seeing that the gate of the city cannot be guarded, Chao Guang intends to drag the battle to the streets and alleys of the city and start street fighting with the enemy. In this way, the role of those cavalry can be minimized. Don't look at Chao Guang's bluffing, but he is really a good player in fighting.
It's just that Chao Guang obviously underestimated the power of those rushing cars. Chao Guang and the others had just retreated to the head of the city, only to hear a loud noise, but the city gate behind them was smashed into pieces by the rushing cars. After the goal was achieved, the soldiers who controlled the assault cart immediately jumped off and pushed the assault cart away directly. Qingqi, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed into the city from the entrance of the city under the leadership of Zhang Long and the three.
Seeing the Qingqi who was constantly rushing in, Chao Guang's face was full of bitterness. When the battle was fought, it goes without saying that Linjiang Military City was completely lost. Now for Chao Guang, there are only two ways to go, one is to surrender, and the other is to escape Linjiang Military City with his soldiers and back to Nanchang.
Surrender is absolutely impossible for Chao Guang. As soon as Chao Guang gritted his teeth, he turned around and led the soldiers directly towards the North City Gate on the other side.
With Chao Guang's retreat, it meant that the entire Linjiang Military City had been completely captured. Zhang Long led Qingqi to chase and kill for a while before retreating, and began to take over the entire Linjiang Military City defense. Linjiang Military City, after less than a year, finally fell into the hands of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen again.
By the time Shan Hongfei, Zhao Yun and others led the army to Linjiang Military City, the entire Linjiang Military City was completely controlled by Zhao Jun, including the powers of the major families in Linjiang Military City. Shan Hongfei and others gathered in the capital's mansion of Linjiang Military City. Shan Hongfei, who was sitting in the main chair, looked cold and waved and said, "Bring them all to me."
Soon, several soldiers squeezed the embarrassed Zhang Ling's family Zhiling and Zhu's Patriarch Zhu Gao into the hall. Seeing all the generals sitting together in the hall, both Zhang Ling and Zhu Gao couldn't help but shudder. Without pushing the soldiers behind them, their legs became weak and they knelt directly on the ground.
"Humph." Shan Hongfei looked at the two men coldly, and according to the intelligence obtained by the Zhaojiayi Army's spy department, he and Liu Guang conspired to attack the Linjiang Army. Zhang Ling and Zhu's family were the masterminds. Moreover, Zhang Ling and the Zhu family have the closest relationship with Liu Guang. Many descendants of Zhang Ling and Zhu family are now serving in Nanchang. Shan Hongfei shouted: "Zhang Ling! Zhu Gao! You betrayed the adults back then, did you think that there will be today?"
Hearing Shan Hongfei's question, the two of them trembled immediately. When Liu Guang attacked Linjiang Military City, it was their people who brought Li Xuanyi and other Liu Guangzhan into the city.
Seeing Shan Hongfei now starting to pursue the matter, Zhu Gao was so frightened that he squatted directly on the ground and kowtowed his head begging for mercy. However, Zhang Ling looked away at this moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The matter is over. It is useless to say more. Back then, when I betrayed Zhao Gong, I had long thought about the consequences of failure. As the saying goes, I have nothing to say. Speaking." As he said, Zhang Ling closed his eyes directly, looking like he was being slaughtered.
"Humph!" Shan Hongfei snorted again, pointing at Zhang Ling and Zhu Gao and yelling: "You killed Lord Qian, and so many brothers from the Zhao Jiayi army. Today, I want you The blood debt is paid for. You Zhang Ling and Zhu's family and all the children of all other families who helped Liu Guang, don't keep any of them! If you drag it on, they will all be cut!"
