Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 335 Divine Soldier descends from heaven
The ground was shaking, and the figures in the distance gradually appeared. It was a large group of people and horses, undulating and shaking in the grass and bushes in the distance, like a billowing flood tide coming from the south, the ground also shook with it, and there was still a pool of water on the road. Ripples appeared, and the reflection of the sky also became twists and turns.

Countless figures in the south, I saw them galloping and yelling, quickly crossing the gentle slopes in the distance, bushes, roadside grass, post stations
In the blink of an eye, the murderous face of the other party could be seen clearly. A few soldiers on guard in the distance were shot by arrows from their horses before they could run away.

The few people in front stopped in front of Juma Luzhai, and then dismounted and lifted Juma and the corpse, and the people who followed jumped over the front and rushed towards the city wall.

Looking at the thousands of troops and horses that suddenly appeared outside Taiyuan City in the distance, Guo Wanchao was dumbfounded. The outer Yangma City has not been repaired, only half of it, and it has not been fully repaired. What's more, the Yangma City outside the inner city Outside, it was built next to the moat. In order to facilitate the transportation of earth, stone and wood from outside the city, they built a basic wooden bridge on the moat.

Now the bandits suddenly descended from the sky in the distance, killed a few sentries, and rushed towards this side. The craftsmen and soldiers on the periphery also reacted. Seeing the endless mountains and plains, the bandits turned around and ran away in panic. A few of them stood at the top of the city building the wall, slipped their feet in a panic, and fell into the moat with a plop.

At this time, no one paid any attention to the wooden planks on the moat, and only wanted to escape. Some soldiers held spears and knives, hesitating on the edge of the moat, but seeing the enemies coming from all over the mountains, they finally lost their weapons. Turn around and leave.

Guo Wanchao reacted quickly without any hesitation at all. In a panic, he was supported on his horse and galloped away to Taiyuan City immediately.

He walked fast on his side, approaching the city gate, and a four-legged horse was faster than a two-legged man. He quickly left behind his staff and many craftsmen and soldiers, and only a dozen or so soldiers on horseback could follow him. on him.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the gatekeeper couldn't see the movement in the distance clearly. He could only see the smoke and dust everywhere. There was a lot of movement, and they had to be questioned. More than ten riders had rushed to the gate, and almost knocked down the gatekeeper in the goatee and green robe. Sun was driving the bullock cart and was about to enter the city. Seeing this posture, he even twitched out of the way a few times in fright.

Passing through the city gate in a blink of an eye, Guo Wanchao immediately reined in his horse and turned down, rushed to the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!"

The soldiers on guard at the top of the city had already seen the scene in the distance, and the cavalry who came from the south all over the mountains and plains beat the big drum at the top of the city to give an early warning.

"But general, there are still many of our people outside." The defenders at the top of the city hesitated. Many soldiers and craftsmen outside were running down the city in panic. The enemy troops behind had already crossed the moat on wooden planks.

Because there are not many bridges, they can only gather in a few places to cross the moat, which slows down the speed of pursuit.

However, soldiers who fled one after another were stabbed and shot to death by the vanguard troops crossing the river near Yangma City.

"You idiot, if you don't close the door, 10 people in Taiyuan City will suffer. How can you care about those at this time, you should act quickly, or I will chop you up!" Guo Wanchao was also anxious, and yelled angrily.

The defenders at the top of the city did not dare to dawdle, and began to stir the winch, and the heavy city gate below began to slowly close.

The gatekeepers outside the gate and some people who were waiting to investigate and enter the city reacted at this moment, and even rushed in. The grandparents driving the ox cart behind also found that something was wrong. They wanted to enter the city, and they were reluctant to part with the ox. , Then the door slowly closed, and they also fell outside.

The soldiers guarding the gate rushed up one after another, and more than a dozen people worked together to install huge iron bars and horizontal wooden latches, and completely closed the main gate of Taiyuan.

Guo Wanchao roared and ordered people to deploy defenses at the top of the city, saying: "Quickly go and notify the other gates, the Qin army has killed too much, immediately close the gates of the city!"

Although the drums at the top of the city rang, it was still not perfect. At this time, the soldiers were frightened by the Qin army descending from the sky all over the mountains and plains in the distance, and they did not dare to delay at all.

The craftsmen and soldiers who ran outside to the door saw this situation from a distance, and ran inside desperately, but when they saw the door was closed, many people even waved and shouted, and even cried bitterly.

After seeing no intention of opening the gate at the top of the city, some people were so frightened that they ran away along the corner to the east and west sides, while others broke down and cursed.

Half of the sheep and horse city hindered the speed of the Qin army's advance, but only temporarily, a large number of Qin army cavalry quickly crossed the unsuspecting half of the sheep and horse city and rushed to the main city wall, surrounded the craftsmen, soldiers and the pair of grandfathers and grandchildren under the city, and then The experienced Qin army did not approach.

Instead, they were divided into several teams, dozens of cavalry as a group, and surrounded them from west to east under the city, followed by a burst of cavalry and shooting, without approaching at all, giving the people in the corner of the city a chance to fight to the death.

The densely packed arrows were like locusts, buzzing relentlessly into the crowd from forty or fifty steps away. The desperate people kept squirming in and huddled together, some were crying loudly, some were begging for mercy, Qin The army all returned arrows.

After a few rounds of shooting, the people in the corner of the city were already dead and wounded, and the corpses were piled up. The grandparents and grandchildren who hadn't entered the city couldn't squeeze the young and strong soldiers, and they were left outside. The first wave fell to the ground with arrows.

The rest broke down crying and begging for mercy, some broke down, muttered to themselves, some ran around, and some rushed towards Qin Jun who was dozens of steps away like crazy, and soon fell down halfway, with It's an arrow.

The rest of the Qin army did not kill them all, but let them escape, and then the forwards were divided into two teams, and began to search west and east along the city wall.

More and more Qin troops in the distance behind crossed the moat and gathered under the city wall, but there were still many in the distance who did not cross the moat, but began to move towards the east.

The soldiers on the top of the city and Guo Wanchao were terrified, their legs and feet were still trembling. If they were half a step late, their lives would have been confessed outside the city!
If it was half a step later, the Qin army would have already entered Taiyuan by now!

He was also terrified in his heart, "Where did the Qin army come from? How come so fast." The guard at the top of the city asked tremblingly.

"You ask me, which one is I asking!" Guo Wanchao said angrily, and he could only use his anger to cover up the fear in his heart.

"Why don't they come here?" The soldiers around swallowed, and looked at the cavalry of the Qin army in the distance in puzzlement. They left a lot of people on the south side of the moat river. They didn't rush to cross over, but just guarded the two ends of the board , and then began to demolish Yangma City.

Many people in the rear did not rush in the direction of Taiyuan City, but went to the east road.

Guo Wanchao watched Qin Jun's movements in the distance, his brows were furrowed, and then he broke out in a cold sweat, his back felt cold, and his lips trembled a little: "They...they are seeing that they can't enter the city, and they want to call for help!"

"Hurry up, send someone to tell the state soldiers on the Tuanbai side not to come to Taiyuan!" Guo Wanchao shouted anxiously, but everyone looked at it like a fool, and then refused to agree.

Seeing them like this, Guo Wanchao immediately understood that they didn't dare, and if they went down now, they would die.

But what about the reinforcements on Tuanbai's side!
Taiyuan's edict has been issued, and state soldiers from all over the country are gathering. They are all small local troops with one battalion and two battalions. What if they meet the Qin army in front of them!
He is so anxious, like an ant on a hot pan
