Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Five hundred and seventieth chapters tiger's mouth (6)

"Bang!" The single-handed slash on the armor did not break the armor, the edge of the knife was already curled, and the force was not enough. The big man of the Zhou army holding the knife was panting like a bellows, his tiger's mouth was numb, his arms were sore and limp, and he swung the knife hard on the screaming Northern Han army, causing the man to scream "Wah-wah" in pain.

The city wall was so crowded that it was difficult to even turn around. The soldiers fighting in front were exhausted, but they could not withdraw; the soldiers on both sides were wearing armor, and it took a lot of strength to kill each other. Every time they attacked, they used all their strength to slash and kill, and their physical strength was exhausted very quickly. The Northern Han army was killed almost to the point of collapse. If it hadn't been for the collapse and no place to run, the former army would have been defeated long ago!

More and more Zhou army infantry mobilized to the city wall in an organized manner, forming a thick array. Below the city wall, there are countless phalanxes ready to attack like a tide, and archers throw their arrows at the crowd of Northern Han soldiers below the city wall.

"Ah..." Soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty continued to be squeezed down from the city wall, and the dark falling objects on the three-foot-high city wall smashed to the ground, and screams of panic came and went in the air.

The scene on the city wall was crazy! The dense crowd of Northern Han soldiers were desperately hacked and stabbed in front of them. The people's will collapsed and they retreated desperately to the back.

The crowd was very scary. Many people were accidentally pushed down and never had a chance to get up. They were trampled by countless heavy men, and were even trampled to death! "Don't squeeze in from behind, don't!" There was a loud sound of begging for mercy, crying, and yelling. The panicked crowd, the atmosphere of fear spread like the plague.

Some people were so crowded that they vomited, and almost all the soldiers of the Northern Han Army were terrified and panicked, and they had no place to run even if they wanted to! "Ah... help! Help!" Someone was caught on the edge of the female wall, and a huge thrust was pressed on him, his eyes were bulging, and the weapon had long since disappeared.

In some places, the parapet wall had been bombarded and collapsed, and the soldiers standing on the edge were directly squeezed off the wall... The city wall was as high as three or four stories, and they almost died if they fell. When a soldier was pushed down, he grabbed the wall, but his hands were immediately trampled back and forth by heavy boots. He cried and shouted terribly, and finally slid down against the city wall.

The morale of Zhou Jun is even higher. The general shouted in the chaos: "It's time to avenge my brothers!" "Kill! Kill!"

A senior military general at the army level came to the city and began to organize offensive tactics. He ordered the ministries to vacate space to the east of the city wall to stop the troops below rushing to the city. After some tossing and turning, the order of the attacking rotation was finally organized. The exhausted sergeants in front were shouted to retreat from the gap in the queue at the back, attacking in turn.

The Northern Han army was completely unable to implement this tactic at this time. They were already in a mess, filling the gaps in the queue and unable to move.

The pressure of the crowd on Chengtou Mountain finally spread like dominoes to the slopes of the city. Entire sections of walls and ramps full of infantry! The scope for the two sides to meet and fight the enemy is very limited. They are all pushing and walking. It doesn't look like an enemy on the battlefield, but it seems like two groups of people are competing for strength... But this kind of competition is not to see whose strength is stronger, because the panicked soldiers of the Northern Han Army in front will instead retreat in the direction of their own people to put pressure on them!

"Long live the Great Zhou Emperor!" This sentence was not shouted by the Zhou army, but by the Northern Han army crowd, "Surrender, surrender..."

There were no generals of the Northern Han Army to stop and enforce the law, because it was too crowded and order was completely lost.

At the west end of the city wall, a large group of Northern Han soldiers on another ramp attacked the Zhou army's troops on the city wall! But at this time Zhou Jun's army was already a phalanx formed into an organized formation. They used heavy armored crossbowmen in front, god arms behind them, and bow|crossbow arrows fired round after round like raindrops. The crossbowmen used three-stage strike tactics, and the long-range arrows continued continuously. The Northern Han army suffered heavy casualties.

The battle situation is gradually getting out of control!

At the bottom of the ramp, many soldiers of the Northern Han Army formed a human wall to block the crowd who were constantly being pushed back. When they couldn't stop it, the boots of the soldiers in the wall slid on the brick floor!

A row of law enforcement teams holding red-tasseled broadswords stood behind them glaringly. The general of the Northern Han Army looked anxiously at the scene above, and did not dare to issue a military order to enforce the law... Those who retreated before the battle were cut, but who? Those people near the rear didn't want to retreat by themselves, but were forced back by the huge and noisy crowd in front. Even cutting them will not help!

Soon the crowd on the ramp began to climb over the railing and jump down, one by one fell and screamed, and the crowd suddenly became turbulent. Suddenly, there was a "boom", and a large group of people fell down together, falling to the ground in pieces!

"Ahhh..." The screams were deafening.

The panicked crowd in front immediately jumped up, trampled on the fallen person and ran down. Some of those who fell down and were not injured also struggled, trampling on people, rolling and crawling.

Zhou Jun's advance was suddenly easy, the sound of killing was loud, and he rushed over. Countless living people on the ground were trampled to death. The scene on the ramp was horrible. Beside the masonry railing, a Northern Han soldier's face was distorted, covered in blood, his mouth was wide open, and his mouth was stuffed with blood or some kind of internal organs. There was still a section of intestines on the ground, which tripped a Zhou soldier from time to time.

There is a complex and disgusting smell of gunpowder smoke, blood|smell, and stench in the air.

At the bottom of the ramp, the army collapsed like a mountain, which frightened the general of the Northern Han Dynasty, and shouted: "I will kill those who run away!"

When the big man of the law enforcement team heard the military order, he swung his knife and went up to chop anyone who ran away. A large number of soldiers of the Northern Han Army up and down the ramp were hacked and killed by the law enforcement team, but no one resisted; maybe it was due to the general’s power, or maybe it was because no one organized resistance. People still follow the crowd, and few people will do anything alone at this time.

But the soldiers of the Zhou Army in the front were killing wildly, and the own people in the back were hacking bloody. Finally someone became angry in desperation. A soldier of the Northern Han Dynasty took up a bow and arrow and shot an arrow at a big man with a big knife.

The sergeant who shot the arrow shouted: "Block our bastards! Let them go ahead and kill Zhou Jun!"

Immediately, someone roared angrily: "Retreat before the battle, resist the military order, and rebel?"

It was fine if he didn't yell, but when he yelled, the angry and desperate Northern Han soldier had a stroke and someone yelled: "It's the wrong way! Who the hell! Mother will send her to die!"

Outside the ramp, the Northern Han soldiers under the city wall dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender. At first, there were only a few people, but the morale of the soldiers who were already angry and frightened was extremely low, and they followed suit one after another, and countless surrendered.

Zhou Jun's front army rushed down the ramp in a scattered manner, while the undisturbed army behind trotted downhill in an orderly manner. That section of the ramp, which was originally quite spacious, was simply horrible, densely packed with corpses, bloody, like a slaughterhouse!

A military general of the Zhou army brought a few soldiers to the front of the kneeling soldiers, and immediately said: "If you don't want to sacrifice your life to the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, go! Find a place to hide first, and don't get in the way!"

All the surrendered soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty who had discarded their helmets, armour, and weapons began to flee one after another after hearing this.

General Zhou Jun who came after seeing this realized something, and hurriedly sent his soldiers around to spread public opinion and incite the reinforcements of the Northern Han Army on various streets in the city to look for opportunities to escape.

On the city wall beside the dirt hill outside the city, a general shouted: "Fifth Commander, go up the wall!"

The neat queue of people waiting below climbed up the dirt hill row by row. The city wall is full of Zhou Juncheng's troops running in formation. The fighting has ended, and the people below know at a glance that they have entered the city. At this time, the soldiers on the wall were not as panicked as before, and the team was also very tidy, marching in an orderly manner according to the general's military order.

This section of the city wall was close to the south gate tower. A large number of Zhou army troops climbed up the wall from the gap, quickly occupied the Wengcheng Gate and the main tower along the city wall, and then went down the city tower to occupy the Wengcheng Gate. The Wengcheng wall is slightly shorter than the main city wall, as if an arc-shaped wall was built independently outside the city pool, and the city gate is also opened on the side.

When the soldiers arrived at the gate of the city, they found a large pile of thick stones behind the gate! The city wall has already been blocked.

But as soon as the news spread out of the city, a group of people carrying iron crowbars, hemp ropes and wooden sticks hurried up from behind on horseback and were mobilized to climb the wall. They drove to the back of the gate of the urn city, and began to work, prying stones aside one by one. Some people tied the stone with a rope and carried it away.

... The generals and ministers of the Chinese army in the distance were stunned when they saw the flags of the Zhou army planted on the tower. Wang Pu lost his voice and said, "This is how Jinyang was captured by force!?" His tone was full of excitement and trembling.

Guo Shao was also very excited. It took only half a day to launch the general attack, and the victory did come quite suddenly. He took a deep breath, turned his head and said, "Immediately send an order that the Sixth Army of the Huben Army (where the city was bombed) stop attacking!"

"Decree!"

Guo Shao looked back at Gao Yanchou again, and said clearly: "All the infantry of the Jiannan Army are preparing, approaching the gap according to the number sequence, and preparing to enter the city one after another. For all the troops in the city, the main attack direction is the south city gate first, and the specific tactics can be decided on the fly. All the troops are pre-set according to the strategy before the war. The first strategy is to open the city gate; the second step is to attack the imperial city of the Northern Han Dynasty;

Gao Yanchou clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order." Then he kicked the horse's belly, turned the horse's head and left the army with a "drive".

Guo Shao quickly issued the military order: "Ask the Qianying Army Mansion to convey the military order, and all the cavalry in the camp south of the city must gather at the city gate!" He pointed to Yuhou, the capital of the Huben Army, next to him, "Li Dazhu, you go to the city gate and serve as an emissary for formation."

Li Dazhu clasped his fists and held a military salute: "The last general has orders!"

Guo Shaodao: "I entered the city with the cavalry and took charge of all the troops in the city. Wang Shijun stayed behind in the central army and presided over the overall situation outside the city."

Wang Pu cupped his hands and said: "The old minister accepts the order!"
