Chapter 652 Breaking the Eighteen Gates in One Day
Although there were only five hundred cavalry, the five hundred cavalry launched their charge, but still made a sound of hoofs like thunder in this dark night, and the earth was shaking slightly. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens of Sui Meng. The black Chen army infantry followed the cavalry and quickly approached the Wu army, like waves, like Hai. The outline spreading like geese wings under the moonlight became clearer and clearer. The black formation head was surrounded by long swords and guns, and the dust and dead leaves splashed by thousands of horse hooves, flying all over the sky. The power was as if the whole army was flying on the ground on a cloud!
"Range the array and welcome the enemy!"
"Hold on your feet!"
Seeing the Chen army suddenly appeared before and after, clamping them on the plain in front of Jiangshan, Liu Wei's face had completely sunk. He was ambushed, and the number of enemy troops was so large that it was even two or three times his strength. The thousands of cavalry behind him, who were like wind and the knights were as rushing as thunder, had already made him feel desperate. Elite, the Chen army behind him was definitely the elite of Northern Chen, with its momentum and impact like tide.
The soldiers and horses in front of them seemed a little messy and had no formation. However, their movements were very fast. The soldiers in animal skins were like hunting in the mountains, running like flying, and as powerful as heroes.
Behind were the elite soldiers of the Northern Chen Dynasty, with infantry and cavalry charging together, and the rear formation was tight, with a restrained murderous aura.
The soldiers in front of them, like swarms and wearing animal skins, could tell at a glance that they were local soldiers from Baiyue, Lingnan. Although they seemed to have no formation, their fierce momentum was not something that he could withstand. What's more, he had to face the thousands of elite Chen soldiers behind the ground at the same time.
He didn't want to fight, but it was inevitable. He pulled out his long sword and Liu Wei roared helplessly, directing his panicked subordinates to quickly form a dense square formation. With five thousand elites on the outermost layer, five thousand old and weak on the second layer, 20,000 people were completely surrounded in the middle. Countless spears were tilted up, making the entire square formation a huge hedgehog instantly. He did not think about breaking through. With the attack of front and back, he might break through rashly, and instead fall into a collapse. What's more, there are still 20,000 people in his formation. It's all over once it is dispersed. Only one step is blocked.
"Hold on the ground!" The messenger ordered again. The soldiers who obeyed the orders nailed their feet firmly to the ground, holding the spear tightly, and everyone's hearts were pounding. "The soldiers' teeth involuntarily made a "clog" sound of impact, and their faces turned pale.
A huge shout suddenly broke into the sky, "Long live Pojun!"
The sky is collapsing, the earth is collapsing. (.megcm The morale of the Wu army is collapsing. The loud shouts they understood that this was the charge order of the Northern Chen army during the attack. It was heard that this was the battle call that only the elite troops of the Chen army had. Ordinary battalions that had not been given the emperor's banner were not qualified. Next, this army shouted this slogan. It means that the other party was at least a troops of the hundred battles that had been given the emperor's banner.
Thousands of Chen troops were still dozens of steps away from the Wu army's phalanx. After that battle roar, "the five hundred cavalrymen were galloping suddenly took action together. Under the moonlight, countless black iron balls with fists were flying red light, and roared towards the head of the Wu army's phalanx like a dark cloud.
The knowledgeable Wu Jun had already recognized the terrifying Chen Jun grenade flying over, and his soul flew out of his body one by one.
"Scattered, it's a bomb!"
However, even if the Wu army shouted it out, it was too late. In order to deal with Chen's charge, the Wu army's team was densely packed and could not dodge at all.
After waves of rumbling explosions, several gaps appeared in the Wu army's dense spear formation. Before the Wu army's soldiers could complete the entire family, the five hundred Chen army cavalry, who were as fast as lightning, had already arrived first.
After a series of crossbows, a spear and a saber were followed.
One after another, Wu soldiers were shot and chopped down to the ground. They were too fragile in front of the galloping cavalry. It was undoubtedly a dream to deal with the light cavalry that was galloping and charging, but not enough bows and arrows.
After a round of charge, dozens of gaps had been widened on the periphery of the Wu army's phalanx. The Chen army did not miss this opportunity. The Chen army infantry following closely shot rows of crossbow arrows, followed by another row of grenades.
It was like harvesting wheat, a large gap appeared in the neat square formation, as if the moon had been bitten by a Tiangou.
Su Dingfang led three thousand soldiers and horses with few horses but excellent people, and had sufficient advanced equipment. In just one round of charge, the square formation on the east was riddled with holes. On the west side of the square formation, the Wu army was also in a state of collapse. Most of them were not even paired leather armor, but were only wearing animal skins. Some barbarians with chests and arms exposed in October were barefoot, naked arms, holding scimitar spears, and roaring along the way, and rushed to the front of the Wu army's square formation like a swarm, stabbing, knife slashing, shield striking, javelin, throwing axe, hammer ball, iron stick, bow and arrow, were simply eighteen weapons, all of which were there.
Some local soldiers even charge with their wild beasts, some with hideous wild wolves, some with mountain leopards, poisonous snakes, and occasionally with fierce men with tigers.
People cut and beasts tore them, and in a short while, the Wu army collapsed.
The entire phalanx collapsed immediately. The soldiers ignored the orders and rushed to throw down their weapons and turned around to escape. The ashamed soldiers were like water that opened the gate, like waves of rivers, and the crowds rushed down, destroying the team behind them.
There was a hustle and bustle everywhere: "Escape! Escape!" "I'm dead!" The soldiers fled in all directions, stomping on each other, squeezing, slamming, and ramming. All kinds of weapons were thrown all over the ground, and discarded flags were everywhere, and the entire square disappeared and no longer existed.
The Baiyue soldiers rushed into the fleeing crowd and started a massacre. The cheers of thousands of wolf soldiers were equally high as the screams of thousands of Wu soldiers before their death. The Wu army's formation collapsed, and the soldiers on the periphery were ashamed, and they directly exposed the 20,000 people from inside who came to bluff and joined in the fun.
Liu Wei, the chief general of the Wu army, rode a horse and ran away with the soldiers who were ashamed of being ashamed as the tide, and his heart was filled with helplessness and shame. The soldiers of ten thousand people, a dense infantry formation, were completely ashamed under the impact of the three thousand Chen troops and 20,000 barbarians.
He quietly watched the tens of thousands of troops in front of him running around the entire plain, watched the band of defeated soldiers running past him, watched the wolf soldiers laughing loudly behind them, and began to massacre, and saw the flags all over the ground being trampled.
At this moment, he felt as if he was so sad that he still beat him? What did he beat him? Jiankang City was surrounded, Caishi was broken, and even Jiangling was defeated by Chen Jun's hands. How could he fight?
His personal guard Liu Ming was escorting his escape, shouting: "General, our troops have collapsed. Should we retreat to Jiankang or Jingkou?"
"Retreat? Is there any place to withdraw?" Liu Wei smiled bitterly, pulled out his war horse, and said loudly: "Surrender, what's the point of fighting again? Doing it even though you know it's impossible, except to increase the murderous sins, what's the benefit of the world and yourself?"
"General? Stay with the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood. Your princess still has more than 300,000 troops in her hands, and she can return to help at any time." Liu Ming said in confusion.
Liu Wei shook his head, "After all the energy in the Southern Dynasty, the Shen family was already in civil turmoil as soon as the head of the Shen family died. Now there is a female protagonist. Will another female emperor be born in the future? This is something that has never happened in the world. Si Chen, this is a sign of exhaustion. If we follow the Shen family, there will be no elimination. Why did we follow the King of Wu to raise an army? It was for Jiangdong and to save our family from war. But now, the more we fight, the more chaotic you and my family will be gone. Forget it, surrender!"
Liu Ming was silent for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he sighed, threw the swords and weapons in his hand aside, and shouted loudly to the ashamed soldiers and people: "I surrendered, surrendered, and the general surrendered!"
"Subdued, surrender!" When the defeated soldiers saw that Chen's army did not kill those companions who had lost their weapons, they immediately followed the other and shouted to surrender, and they all threw down their weapons.
Su Dingfang also noticed the general Wu who abandoned his sword and soldier and sat alone on the horse. Seeing that more and more people around him gathered, he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered were named after death!"
"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender are named after death!"
Countless Chen army shouted, and the sound was like the most powerful weapon. Wherever the sound waves passed, the Wu army rushed to throw down their weapons and squat on the ground to surrender. The wolf soldiers there were still killing, desperately chopping and killing people's heads to earn military merit. Whether they were cutting down the real Wu army or the people, in their opinion, as long as they were cutting off people's heads on the battlefield, they were military merits, that was money and women.
"Blow the trumpet, call the gold to withdraw the troops!" Feng Hua had to blew the order to withdraw troops in advance. If he didn't stop, he would probably have all the Wu troops cut down.
Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-
The horns and gongs sounded together, and the local soldiers who were chasing the Wu army everywhere had to stop and put away their bloody scimitars. The order to withdraw the troops by the gold medal was already sounded, and it was a violation of the order to kill the wolf soldiers of the X army. Although there was no military law for the drums, the charge and the gold medals were called to withdraw the troops. These two must be prohibited.
Ten thousand Wu troops had 20,000 people, and thousands of people died in one battle. Except for hundreds who escaped, the rest surrendered. That night, Feng Huan and Su Dingfang returned with great victory. Seeing that reinforcements had been destroyed, Hu Hai ordered Qi generals to divide thousands of old and weak and surrendered soldiers into 17 teams to attack the outer gate of the Ten Gate, and then assembled all the main forces to assemble to attack a city gate of the Nancheng. Hu Hai and Feng Huan 50,000 coalition forces attacked one place. Before the defenders in the city reacted to reinforce, Chen's army had already broken through the city gate with lightning speed and entered the outer city in one fell swoop.
Countless panicked soldiers were killed by sabers, stabbed to death by spears, shot to death by arrows, trampled to death by their own people, burned to death by fire, and drowned by water... When the first ray of sunshine shone, the outer city was covered with corpses, and thousands of defenders fell to the outer city. After fighting twice, more than 10,000 defenders completely gave up the eighteen gates of the outer city and retreated into the thirteen gates of the inner city.
The eighteen gates of Jiankang Outer City were completely destroyed after only one day of guarding!
