Chapter 494 A crushing defeat

However, the Jinxia defenders in the city were already panicking. After learning that there was a way out, they saw Chen Jun coming in. They were originally wavering between desperately resisting and escaping, and their hearts were all leaning towards the latter, feeling that Chen Jun With everyone attacking, Bingcheng cannot be defended, so we should retreat.

Therefore, in the face of Gar's loud shouts, not many people followed it.

Not only that, after the Shenwu Guards entered the city, they had already formed a Yanyue formation to kill the Jinxia front army in the city, and then were responsible for killing the Jinxia soldiers in the city.

Soldiers holding large shields and horizontal swords were in front.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and spearmen wearing heavy armor and holding spears followed behind the sword and shield men.

Behind them, there were a larger number of infantry armed with spears.

The archers climbed onto the roofs of private houses or some high points where people could stand, and from a high position they killed Jinxia people in twos and threes, and were responsible for covering the advance of the army.

Because of the orders from above, the advance was not fast.

The sound of rapid horse hooves resounded in the city.

After defusing the charge of the Jinxia cavalry, the Shenwu Guards continued to advance in formation.

How to block this?
At this point, the Jinxia garrison at the east gate of the city fell into chaos and kept retreating. The general was unable to give orders to the soldiers.

Can he definitely stop Chen Jun?

Now, it was the Divine Guard's turn to take action.

The trumpet sounded.

"Pfft."

With Chen Jun's tacit cooperation, the Jin Xia Army's barely organized defense line in the city began to collapse rapidly and retreated backwards.

The Jin Xia Army in the city didn't know what they were thinking, but they actually sent cavalry to charge into the formation.

The powerful mechanism shot out instantly.

Crossbow bolts continued to shoot out, and the corpses of cavalry and war horses piled up like mountains.
"kill!"

The man fell on his back and his horse fell over.

They had no fighting spirit to resist at all.

Before the cavalryman could get up from the pain, another horse next to him suddenly fell to the ground and hit him.

The Divine Arm Crossbow Battalion of the Divine Warrior Guards came forward to the formation of the Divine Warrior Guards and lined up in a row.

It turned out that they were facing Chen Jun's formation advancement.

The divine arm crossbow can even penetrate iron armor, and the horrific damage caused the horse to feel pain and raise its front hooves high, like a human standing, throwing the cavalryman on its back to the ground.

"Woo——"

"咴"

The extremely penetrating crossbow arrows passed through the air with a roar of death, and shot into the oncoming Jinxia cavalry with great force.

As the east city gate was breached, Chen Mo also entered the city with his military camp. After hearing the sound of horse hooves, he immediately climbed onto the city wall and watched with a telescope in hand.

Under the pressure of the divine arm crossbows, the Jinxia cavalry fell down halfway through the charge. The streets in the city were not wide to begin with, and the front fell down, forming more obstacles, tripping up the cavalry behind, and making subsequent The charge was completely blocked.

Gar's soldiers retreated to guard Gar, and said urgently: "General, lead the rear army to escape, we can't stop it."

However, Gar, who had passed through the gate of death, was actually frightened away a lot of courage. Seeing that he could not defeat the Chen army, and more and more Chen troops entered the city, Gar did not persist and ordered: "Towards the west gate. retreat."

Both the south gate and the north gate were surrounded by Chen Jun, but there was no Chen Jun outside the west gate.

It stands to reason that at this time, everyone would notice something strange at the West City Gate. Tuoba Zhu naturally felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, but under the current situation, even if he knew that there were tigers in Ximen Mountain, he still had to go to Tiger Mountain.

There are Chen troops surrounding the south gate and the north gate. If you retreat from these two gates, you will definitely be blocked by the Chen troops outside. When the Chen troops enter the city from the east gate and kill them, they will be attacked from the front and back, and you will be dead. .

We can only go to Ximen to fight for a chance of survival.

Just because of this glimmer of hope, the Jin Xia Army no longer has the strength to fight again.

"Send the order, tell them to slow down a little bit, they're biting too hard."

After realizing that the defeated Jin Xia army was heading towards the west gate, Chen Mo was overjoyed and quickly ordered the Shenwu Guards not to bite too hard.

Xia Zhining knew what was going on but didn't say anything.

Sun Meng was a little confused and said: "Master Hou, if we don't bite you to death, these barbarians will escape from the west gate."

"They can't escape."

The gap in the west gate was prepared for them by Chen Mo.

When Chen Mo initially besieged and annexed the city, he divided Shen Yong, Shen Wu, the Three Guards of the Formation, and the Jiangdong Army into four parts to encircle and annex the four walls of the city.

The east city gate has the largest number of troops.

Later, Chen Mo withdrew the troops from the west gate and did not move them to any of the east, south or north gates. Instead, he asked them to retreat to a mountain forest ten miles away from the west gate to ambush.

And this is the real killer move of the "surrounding three and missing one" tactic.

Breaking the east gate was only to put pressure on the Jin Xia army and induce them to flee. The Chen army at the south and north gates was to ensure the uniqueness of the west gate and prevent the Jin Xia army from fleeing.

Chen Mo had been planning for so many days, not only to drive them out of the Song Dynasty, but also to completely destroy the 30,000 troops who had merged with the city.

After learning that the Jin Xia army that was annexing the city fled from the west gate, Chen Mo immediately ordered the Chen army, which was slowly advancing in the city, to speed up its march and have the Xiaoqi guards dispatch to bite them.

The other side.

Cui Shuang and Song Shiming led nearly 7,000 troops and ambush in a mountain forest called "Jishiling" ten miles away from the west gate of the city.

The sun was setting in the west, and Cui Shuang had just ordered the general to prepare the soldiers for dinner, and at the same time sent out scouts to inquire about the military situation surrounding the city.

"General, we have discovered that a large number of Jinxia cavalry troops are coming towards us. The marching troops are in panic." The scouts who had just been sent out soon rushed over and reported to Cui Shuang.

Cui Shuang raised his eyebrows, cheered up and asked, "How many troops and horses are there?"

The scout said: "I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to estimate, but this Jinxia cavalry seems to have just experienced a fight and fled from Bingcheng."

"Haha, General Cui, it seems that the Marquis has succeeded. It's up to us." Song Shiming was overjoyed.

Since taking refuge with Chen Mo, Song Shiming has not made any decent achievements until now. Now it was finally his turn to make a contribution, and he was very excited.

"Send the order and tell everyone to hide and prepare to meet the enemy." Cui Shuang was also a little excited.

After Gar and his troops escaped from the west gate and merged with the city, Tuoba Zhu, who had a clearer grasp of the surrounding situation these days, immediately reminded Gar to detach a small force to explore the front and temporarily slow down their retreat.

But at this moment, the people below came to report that Chen Jun's cavalry was chasing from behind.

The frightened Jin Xia Army did not care whether there would be anything weird ahead after learning that Chen Army's cavalry was catching up.

Still slowing down the march?

Now they all hate to have two legs.

The cavalrymen whipped their horses in panic and fled in the direction of "Chishi Ridge".
