Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 598
"What a beast!" Lu Jiang cursed angrily when she saw a Wuyue knight swinging a knife to look at the head of an old man.

"Shoot the arrow, don't let the Wuyue thieves get close to the common people!"

"Shhhhhh!"

A round of arrow rain was shot from the top of the city to prevent the Wu Yue soldiers from approaching, hoping to separate the Wu Yue soldiers from the common people by a certain distance.

I saw thousands of archers shooting arrows back and forth on the city wall, twice as densely as usual.

These archers stand very close together. When defending the city, there will be a certain gap, which is convenient for space utilization. But now, in order to save people, they are racing against time to prevent the people in the city from being hacked and killed. Therefore, the standing distance is narrowed, and the arrow rain is more dense.

"Open the city gate quickly, we are Tang people, save us."

"Help me—"

The people in the city were crying for help, and they were so frightened that they burst into tears.

At this time, the two city gates of Renhe Gate and Dehua Gate opened, and cavalry and infantry rushed out of the city.

The cavalry rushed towards the Wuyue soldiers in front, and some armored soldiers formed an array of swords, spears, and shields to block the approach of the Wuyue soldiers.

Some soldiers stepped forward to cover and support these people, helping them enter the city quickly.

"Kill it—"

Under the leadership of Ma Xiong, the Tang army's cavalry rushed forward like thunder. The soldiers on the horses mounted the soldiers with cold light and cold air, shining in the sun.

This time it was a frontal fight on the ground. Both sides invested [-] cavalry for the collision and fight.

Because there are very few war horses in the south, unlike the tens of thousands of cavalry in the north, the Liao Kingdom often has [-] cavalry going south. In the south of the Yangtze River, a few thousand cavalry is already the upper limit. Most of the war horses are purchased from the north and the Western Regions, and there are very few local war horses. .

"Bang bang bang!"

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

The sound of the collision of war horses, the clash of weapons, and the chopping of swords and guns made mixed sounds.

Immediately, the horses neighed, the soldiers roared, swords flashed, blood spattered, and the scene was fierce.

In the distance behind, Shen Chengli and Ding Deyu had been watching and found that the Tang army had opened the city gate and was rescuing the people.

Ding Deyu nodded and said: "These generals of the Tang army are quite conscientious, benevolent and righteous, and they are worthy opponents."

It's a bit inappropriate for him to say praise at this time, but this is also Ding Deyu's character.

Because he comes from a general of the Song Army in the north, and his family has been a general for generations, he has a kind of arrogance in the bones of the general, and also has a kind of northern pride and courage. Therefore, he is quite interested in using the people to cover the siege There are criticisms, and they are even more contemptuous of Wu Yue's advisers offering this strategy.

But at this time, seeing that Tang Jun really opened the city gate, and even rescued the people, he was willing to give up some soldiers outside the city and exchanged their lives for their lives. Such a way of saving people is quite respectable.

"Kill, rush into the city and destroy Tang Jun!"

"Into Runzhou City!"

Some Dutou and Duyuhous of the Wuyue soldiers and horses began to shout and commanded the soldiers to take this opportunity to rush to the gate of the city and kill them into the city while taking advantage of the chaos.

This is their initial plan!

Although the means of using the people to cover the city is a bit despicable, but because the two armies are facing each other, they use their own methods and use everything to their advantage, so many Wuyue soldiers are full of hatred against the Tang people. Too many of them died in battle under the city. The accumulation of worry and hatred has blinded reason.

They no longer think about whether this method is glorious, as long as it allows them to break through the city gate and get benefits, no one will really care, even when they massacre those unarmed and innocent people who are backward, Not the slightest bit soft.

Some old people, women and children were shot to death by arrows, or their heads and arms were cut off by cavalry with sabers. The blood was sprayed on the ground, and there were endless screams. In front of the impact, the horses stepped over the corpses of the people, and rushed towards the oncoming cavalry of the Tang Army one after another.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought under the city, handing over soldiers in a large area, hand-to-hand combat, weapons clashing, and horses colliding.

The cavalry is fighting with the cavalry, and the infantry is fighting with the infantry. Sometimes the cavalry will rush into the infantry's phalanx, and the infantry will stab the horse's belly with a spear and attack the knight. A melee begins.

Tang Jun sent a total of 4000 troops to stop Wu Yue's army under the city, delaying time, and buying time for the Dehua Gate and Renhe Gate in the south to rescue the people into the city.

It has to be said that the goals of Tang Jun and Wu Yuebing are exactly opposite. One side wants to prevent Wu Yuebing from approaching the city gate, while the other side wants to enter the city as soon as possible. The respective coaches are watching, and they all show the spirit of seeing death as home, and the fight is very tragic. .

Some people slashed their opponents to the ground with a knife one second, and were shot through the body by the enemy soldiers behind them the next second, unwilling to die there.

The knights on the horses used their horses to charge, slashed wildly with their knives, and after killing and wounding several enemy soldiers, they were likely to be thrown off their horses.Throats were cut with daggers, or thrown off horses with spears.

This kind of scene is very common, and fierce fighting is staged everywhere.

At the same time, the people poured into the city gate one after another. Many people were still crying, some children were so frightened that they cried unceasingly, as well as the sad cries of the old people and the howling of women, etc., mixed in the city.

At least seven or eight hundred people have been rescued into the city gate.

Dutou, who was standing at the gate of the city, was responsible for managing order, and shouted: "Don't worry, don't crowd, you are already safe, and there will be no danger in entering the city."

"Everyone, slow down, don't crowd each other, line up to enter the city, and accept interrogation."

Du Yuhou Zhao Sheng and Du Tou, officers and soldiers continued to appease the people.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, some common people hugged their heads and cried and squatted under the wall: "My mother-in-law was killed and died outside the city."

Some people wept with joy, ecstatic that they survived: "I was not killed, I was saved."

"Yeah, we are lucky and lucky, thanks to the city guards who treat us like human beings!"

"These Wuyue soldiers are too bad. They don't treat us Tang people as human beings."

These people talked a lot.

Some officers and soldiers stepped forward to distribute food to these people, check their injuries, check their identities, etc., so as to prevent the scouts from mixing with them.

When a man approached the defenders, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed the defenders directly in the heart.

"Pfft!"

Bleeding.

Moreover, it was not just one person's actions, but many men suddenly changed their faces and used the weapons hidden on their bodies to sneak attack.

They took advantage of the small environment inside the city gate, stabbed some officers and soldiers to death with daggers, got more spears and mo knives from the officers and soldiers, and began to kill the guarding officers and soldiers at the gate of the city.

This sudden turn of events caused everyone to panic. Some women, children and old people did not expect that Wu Yue's spies were hidden by their side, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate.

"Ah-"

The screams came out, and the chaos began to spread. Some innocent people were affected and chopped to the ground.

Most of the common people ran around towards the inside of the urn city, while some Wuyue spies and dead men, holding knives, interspersed among the crowd as a cover, with fierce eyes, and killed at the gate of the city and the defenders at the gate.

There were even spies who released loud arrows to send a signal to Wu Yue's army outside the city.

"No, there are Wu Yue spies inside!"

A capital immediately ran up to the tower to convey the news of the incident to General Lu Jiang and Su Chen's supervisor on the tower in time.

"General Lu's event is not good. The spies of Wu and Yue are mixed among these people. They took advantage of the chaos to kill and seized some weapons. They are controlling the gate of the city to meet Wu and Yue's army outside the city."

Lu Jiang's complexion changed, and she lost her voice: "What? Why don't you hurry up and stop it."

"Youdu Yuhou is encircling and suppressing!"

General Lu personally picked up the long-handled big ring knife, and said to Su Chen: "It is my order to let the people into the city, and I will go there myself to eliminate hidden dangers, Su Supervisor, you are in command here. "

Su Chen could see that Lu Jiang's anger and unwillingness were accompanied by a trace of guilt, because it was the commander-in-chief Lu Jiang who ordered the people to be taken in and let the people into the city. Now some spies were mixed among the people, and they took the opportunity to make trouble. This matter has nothing to do with it Significant, once the city gate cannot be closed, a large number of Wu Yue soldiers will rush in, which will cause the city gate to fall.

Therefore, Lu Jiang has to deal with it herself, so that she can feel at ease!

At this time, Su Chen didn't hesitate or persuade, just nodded and said: "General Lu, don't worry, leave this place to me to command."

Lu Jiang nodded, holding a big ring knife, and leading a few generals, went down the tower, and went to the gate of the city to quell the chaos caused by Wu Yue's spies.
