Chapter 476 Street Fighting
Inside the city gate, the sound of killing was like a tide, sweeping into the city wave after wave.

The people in the city didn't know what happened, why the salt merchant who had just entered the city suddenly drew his knife and began to chop people up.

"The thieves have entered the city!"

The people all ran wildly in fear. A person who was drinking tea in a tea shop near the city gate stood up when he saw this scene, and said to the left and right: "What's going on?"

Beside this person, there are more than 20 government servants with quick knives in their hands, and they have more than [-] people. After questioning the people, they learned that the salt merchants in front actually killed the guards.

These people said together in the foreword: "Wu Lang, we don't know the situation? Several salt gangs in this city who smuggle salt are friendly with us, and the largest one is only a hundred people. I didn't expect to dare to rebel."

The headhunter named Wulang slapped the table and stood up, saying: "It's against the sky, don't you know that the surname of Wendeng City is Chunyu? Taking advantage of the absence of the eldest brother and the second brother, he is making trouble here, and immediately let my third brother come from here." The troops from the barracks in the west of the city have been dispatched, and I, Wulang, will start a massacre today."

After speaking, Chunyu Wulang ordered people to beat the gong in the street, summoned archers to help, and they all went to the gate of the north city.

On the gate of the northern city, all the guards inside the gate had been killed and scattered, Jin Chunqiu and Zhou Zhou led their troops to attack from the horse paths on both sides of the gate.

Jin Chunqiu wears a warrior scarf on his head, although he is a prince of Silla, but now he personally holds a sword and rushes to the front line. The Hwarang warrior at the side is also brave, following Jin Chunqiu along the horse path to kill.

The soldiers in the city wanted to resist, but they were no match for the elite Hwarang warriors. On just a few dozen steps, the soldiers in the city were constantly being cut down.After the guards in the city were killed, they went directly from the horse path, and were kicked down by Zhao Jun soldiers to the city, so that the people behind could climb the city quickly.

The corpse fell to the ground like a sack, and there was a dull sound. Zhao Jun's soldiers immediately started killing, all the way from under the tower of the horse road.

The soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't reach them, so they had to retreat into the two-story tower.

At this time, Zhou Zhou also led his troops to attack the city wall from the horse path on the other side. Zhou Zhou immediately ordered his soldiers to say: "Don't kill those who surrender, otherwise, after the city is broken, no one will be left behind."

While Zhou Zhou was speaking, the soldiers of the Zhao army below the city poured into the city like a tide. The soldiers inside the city tower saw that there were so many enemy troops, and they all came from nowhere, so they all raised their weapons and left the tower to surrender.

Zhou Zhou took advantage of the opportunity to capture the city tower, and a Zhao soldier came to the tower, chopped off the banner with the word "Chunyu" hanging on it, and replaced it with a large banner with the word "Zhao".

The north gate tower was captured. Generally speaking, in this era, once the city gate is breached, the city has been declared to have fallen.

Zhou Zhou pulled a garrison prisoner and asked, "How many defenders are there in the city?"

The prisoner said: "The chief officer and Erlang attacked Donglai County and took away [-] elite soldiers from the city, but there are still township soldiers guarding the county."

"How many rural soldiers are there? Where are they stationed in the city?"

The prisoner replied: "There are more than a thousand people. Sanlang, who is the county captain, has seven or eight hundred township soldiers stationed in the west of the city, and there are more than 300 people under the command of Butou Wulang. These 300 people are maintained in the city on weekdays." For law and order, there are more than a dozen policemen with knives, and the rest are archers and helpers.

Zhou Zhou nodded, Chunyu Nan, although Chunyulang and his two took away the main force to attack Donglai County, there were still more than 2000 troops in the city, and there were [-] people attacking the city by themselves, the situation was not very clear yet.Right now, this force must be eradicated with lightning speed, otherwise Chunyu's family is a local snake after all, and with his power in Wendeng, they will counterattack at any time.

After Zhou Zhou discussed with Jin Chunqiu, Zhou Zhou guarded the tower of the North City.Jin Chunqiu led [-] elite troops to attack.Just after the two agreed, they heard a report from outside the tower, and hundreds of people approached the tower, obviously wanting to take back the tower.

Zhou Zhou couldn't help being surprised, Jin Chunqiu said in amazement: "The enemy army found out so quickly, and organized troops to counterattack the city gate so quickly. It seems that they are not weak troops."

At present Zhouzhou, Jin Chunqiu climbed up the tower to have a look, after seeing the enemy's situation clearly, they all couldn't help but smile, this is not a regular army.

On the street under the Beicheng Tower.

Chunyu Wulang approached the gate of Beicheng with hundreds of minions.As the main security force in the city, Chunyu Nan's subordinates are all archers, except for a dozen or so policemen who are the official establishment of the county government.These archer helpers are usually attached to the catcher's men and do not eat salary. On weekdays, the people in the fish and meat city ask for some money, and their combat effectiveness is actually similar to that of local ruffians.

Chunyu Wulang had never really been in battle, so he knew nothing about the art of war. Moreover, in his opinion, the gate of the city was only caused by the private gangs who came to make trouble.In Wendeng County's one-third-acre land, no one has ever been unable to think about it and come to Chunyu's family.

When the Sui Dynasty collapsed, Chunyu's family climbed up and shouted, and the county magistrate of Wendeng County bound his hands and came to Chunyu's family to surrender.As a local tyrant in Wendeng, Chunyu Goro is confident that no strong dragon can overwhelm a local snake.

Therefore, his stragglers did not form an formation, but came to seize the city gate like two gangs of ruffians fighting.Chunyu's family never dreamed that it was the regular troops of Zhao and Xinluo who came to attack Wendeng County.Jin Chunqiu watched this group of local hooligans approaching the city tower, he had already made up his mind, instead he deliberately made people retreat, pretending to flee in fear, and vacated the arrow space in front of the city gate street.

Chunyu Wulang didn't know it, he was supported by his elder brother's [-] soldiers from the countryside, when he saw the enemy troops retreating at the city gate, he only wanted to pursue them, but he didn't see a pile of dead soldiers under the city gate.If it is a private salt merchant, how can it have such a strong combat effectiveness.

Chunyu Wulang pointed at Zhao Jun, who was pretending to run away, and cursed: "You are here to play wild, and you want to run away, take it down!" He roared from left to right, and rushed forward to the city gate one after another.

"Wait a minute, Goro, look at the enemy's flag on the tower?" The village soldier pointed at the tower to remind Chunyu Goro.

Chunyu Wulang saw clearly that the word Zhao was flying on the flag, and asked very puzzled: "Is there a bandit surnamed Zhao around here?"

The captain shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this."
On the tower, Jin Chunqiu sneered, and with a move, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the tower wall.Just about to give orders to stop the pursuit, Chunyu Wulang opened his mouth wide in surprise when he saw the archers suddenly appearing on the battlements.

The school lieutenant at the side saw the outfits of the soldiers on the top of the city, and said in surprise: "This is a soldier of the imperial court, not some private salt dealer or bandit!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a bang on the city wall.

Zhao Jun's soldiers are always better than bows and crossbows, while the people of Goguryeo and Silla are both good at bows, and the Hwarang warriors of Silla are the best among them.Seeing the archers on the city tower, seeing the densely packed streets below the city gate, all the enemy troops are approaching. These soldiers did not wear armor on their bodies, most of them did not hold shields in their hands, and they had no defense against bows and arrows at all.

After the clapper sounded, dense arrows intertwined like a spider web.

The soldiers of Chunyu's family were easily pierced by arrows before they could react.The rest of the people who reacted ran away with their heads in their arms. There were walls on both sides of the street that were difficult to climb. Where did they go to hide.

On the 20-meter street below the city, blood flowed like a river.Uncovered Chunyu soldiers were shot in the back while fleeing with their heads in their arms, threw themselves to the ground, and were directly shot dead in the street. None of the more than [-] soldiers who rushed to the front more than ten steps away from the city gate survived.

After a few breaths, hundreds of Chunyu Jun's dead bodies were spread all over the street, and the rest were all terrified.

"kill!"

Jin Chunqiu shouted loudly, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the city wall all rushed out.Chunyu's soldiers were already frightened, they didn't have the courage to resist, so they threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, and ran southward along the street.

Jin Chunqiu immediately led his army to sweep along the streets in the north of the city to the south of the city.

For a small town like Wendeng County, there are only four gates, and the main street connects the four gates in a cross.This cross street is the main road of Wendeng City.And for example, the most important county government must be located on the central axis of the city.As for the arsenal, the granary, and the barracks are also nearby.

Like chopping melons and vegetables, Zhao Jun's soldiers rushed straight from the main road to the central county government.

In this era, the county government office had a protective function. Among the square walls made of loess lumps in the city and among the private houses, only the wall bricks of the county government office were made of bricks, and the outer wall was painted with a layer of white ash.Chunyu Wulang led the remnants of the soldiers, and joined hundreds of Chunyu Sanlang's soldiers, they retreated into the county government office together, locked the gate of the county government office inside, and prepared to resist in the corner.
Jin Chunqiu was not polite, he immediately led his troops to surround the county government office, ordered people to knock on the door, and at the same time ordered people to shoot arrows outside the county government office.The arrows leaped over the high wall and landed in the county government office like raindrops. The roof tiles on the roof were ringing. Chunyu soldiers picked up everything that could be covered and put them on their heads, and they were in a state of embarrassment in the county government office. Fleeing in all directions like flies.
dong dong!

The Zhao and Silla soldiers gathered in front of the gate took up the end of their guns and stabbed at the gate of the county government. They kicked and slammed their bodies. The girders of the houses were directly removed and the doors were hit directly.

The gate of the county government finally couldn't bear it.

It was knocked open with a bang, and when the two gates fell down, a dozen or so Chunyu soldiers who had arrived were crushed under the gates.

There was a series of screams, Zhao Jun soldiers stepped through the door and rushed into the county government office, and the two armies directly fought in the prison room south of the county government office.

Such hand-to-hand combat without any skill at all, Jin Chunqiu killed the knife so much that dozens of corpses were left on both sides of the prison cell.

After rushing to the lobby, the inside couldn't stand it at this time, so they surrendered together.

After taking down the county government office, the overall situation was settled. Afterwards, Jin Chunqiu led his army to sweep the whole city, taking control of the arsenal, granary, and money storehouse. In addition, he sent people to surround Chunyu's family mansion.There are more than a hundred members of Chunyu's family, old and young, all of whom are under supervision.
