Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty: Conquering Chenggu
Chapter 520: Conquer Chenggu
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" The next day, the war drums outside the four gates of Chenggu were shocked. 200,000 Deng's army divided into four teams to surrounded Chenggu. The chief general of the Qin army, Wei Song, stood at the south gate with a group of generals, looking at the main business of Deng's army outside the city and the 50,000 Tianning Guards under the city.
"The general, the guards of the east gate, the west gate, and the north gate all sent people to send a message saying that there were Deng's troops outside the city, and the number was comparable to that of the south gate." Nan Yun said to Wei Song.
"It seems that Yue Fei is not going to give me a way to survive!" Wei Song sighed. Three sieges and one is a classic of military strategists. In addition to ambushing one of them, it is more important to leave a glimmer of hope for the defenders and reduce the determination to resist. However, under the siege, it means that the defenders have no way to escape. In order to survive, they will definitely burst out with extraordinary strength, which will also cause great losses to the siege soldiers.
"Have the defenders of each gate arranged?" Wei Song asked.
Nanyun nodded and said, "All arrangements have been made. The last generals in the city are divided into five units. Five thousand soldiers and horses are arranged to guard each gate. The rest of the soldiers and horses are staying in the city and waiting for support at any time."
"Okay!" Wei Song responded, then turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, most of the Hanzhong has been lost. Cheng Gu was surrounded by Deng's army. We have no way to escape. However, as a minister of the Qin Dynasty, I should fight for the Qin Dynasty and live and die together with Cheng Gu today. However, this is my decision and I will not force you to stand up. If any brother wants to surrender, I can now order people to open the city gate and let go. I will only give you one stick of incense. After one stick of incense, those who dare to surrender will be killed immediately!" After that, Wei Song ordered someone to light an incense stick.
The Qin soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they stood firmly in the spot. The time for an incense stick passed quickly. Seeing that the incense burned out, no one stood up. This made Wei Song very pleased and said loudly: "Okay, I am worthy of being the most loyal guard of my Great Qin. Today we told the Deng people in Chenggu that even though we have reached the end of our journey, we are still proud Qin people. If you want to get involved in the city, you must be prepared to give the corpse and blood. Come and beat the drum!"
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" As the sound of war drums sounded, a group of Qin soldiers entered the role, holding weapons and waiting for battle.
In the main camp of Deng’s army, Yue Fei and the generals of Shenwu Guard were in the camp, looking at the Chenggu city in the distance, and said, “Send someone to persuade Wei Song to surrender and tell him that I will give him an hour. After one hour, if we refuse to surrender, our army will launch a large attack!”
"Here!" Murong Chui, the general of Shenwu Guard, responded, and sent someone to the city to persuade the surrender. After the messenger came to the city, he shouted loudly at the top of the city: "Listen to the Qin army on the city, General Yue has an order to limit you to open the city and surrender within one hour, otherwise our army will launch a large-scale attack."
Wei Song on the city heard this and said with a sneer: "Go back and tell Yue Fei that I, Daqin, only have a decapitated guard and no surrendered general. If you want Chenggucheng, please come over!"
The messenger reported Wei Song's words to Yue Fei truthfully. Yue Fei sighed and said, "It's a pity that such a loyal minister! After the order is sent, the four sects will attack together. Today, we will take down Chenggu at all costs! Those who first arrive will personally write to the king and give him an official title!"
"Here!"
An hour passed quickly. Outside the south gate, in the Tianning Guard formation, General Zhang Xian of Tianning Guard looked at the sun and said to Zhang Fei: "General, the time has come!"
Zhang Fei nodded, then raised the spear in his hand, pointed at the head of Chenggu City from afar, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers obey the orders, the time has come, and the city is immediately attacked. The general has the order. If you arrive first, you will be granted the title of officials!"
"Kill!" Zhang Fei gave the order, the four generals of Tianning Guard and the eight generals of the Central Army led the way, charged forward, and killed Chenggu City.
Wei Song on the city looked at the charge of Deng Jun with a serious look on his face. Seeing Deng Jun enter the coverage of his own bow and arrows, Wei Song gave an order and said, "Shoot the arrow!"
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and many people from the Deng army who rushed to the front fell to the ground, but they still could not stop the Deng army from advancing. Although hundreds of people died under the Qin army's arrow rain, after a rain of arrows, the vanguard troops of the Deng army had already touched the city under the city and set up a ladder. The siege cars also came to the city gate under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers and launched an attack on the Chenggu city gate. Under the violent impact, the city gate was shaking.
Countless Deng soldiers climbed up to the city and fought with the Qin army. Wei Song took the lead and blocked the Deng army's attacks one after another. Seeing this, Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu's two powerful generals under the city turned over and dismounted, climbed up the cloud ladder and climbed towards the city. Seeing this, the Qin army hurriedly blocked them, but how could ordinary soldiers block these two powerful generals? It took not long before Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu climbed up to the city. Seeing that ordinary soldiers could not stop the two, many Qin generals came to intercept them, but were killed by Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou one by one. The two were like wolves entering a flock of sheep on the city, and no one could stop them.
"General, these two generals Deng are too fierce, and the soldiers can't stop them!" Nan Yun had just killed a Deng soldier who had climbed to the top of the city and came to Wei Song and said.
Wei Song also saw the courage of Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu. To be honest, at this moment, Wei Song clearly realized the degree of fierce generals in Deng State. If a powerful general like Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu were placed in Qin State, he would definitely be the leader of the army, but in Deng State, he became the vanguard of attacking cities and camps. There was no comparison, no harm.
"General Nan, these two generals Deng are extremely brave. Ordinary soldiers cannot stop them at all. If they are allowed to continue to be unscrupulous, our army's morale will definitely be greatly affected. For the sake of the current plan, you and I have to go up and stop them and stabilize the situation first!" Wei Song thought for a while and said to Nan Yun that Wei Song and Nan Yun were the two most capable people in the Qin army in Chenggu. When the others could not stop Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu, they had to go up.
When Nan Yun heard this, he was actually very upset. It is true that he was the one who could fight here except Wei Song. However, from the performance of Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu just now, he didn't know whether Wei Song was an opponent, but he was obviously not an opponent. If he killed him, he would probably be killed on the spot by General Deng. But at this point, except for him and Wei Song in person, no one can fight Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu.
"Okay!" Nan Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Then the general will take over these two generals Deng and the general himself!"
"Kill!" After Wei Song and Nanyun killed several Deng soldiers around him, they rushed to Ge Congzhou and Pang Shigu and Wei Song met Ge Congzhou. Nanyun fought against Pang Shigu. With two generals personally blocking General Deng, the Qin army on the top of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to fight with Deng's army.
However, ordinary soldiers of the Qin army were relaxed, but Wei Song and Nan Yun were not at all relaxed. Wei Song was fine, his strength was not bad. He fought back and forth with Ge Congzhou, and he could not decide the winner for a while, but Nan Yun was in trouble. His strength was far inferior to Pang Shigu. He was completely suppressed by Pang Shigu in less than ten rounds of battle. If it weren't for the narrow space on the city, Nan Yun would have been killed by Pang Shigu long ago. However, even so, he was beaten by Pang Shigu so hard that he dodged left and right, and he had many colors on his body, which was very embarrassed.
"Ah!" Although the space at the top of the city was narrow, Pang Shigu's strength was not comparable to that of Nan Yun. Until the fiftieth round, Nan Yun was caught by Pang Shigu, pierced his chest with a knife, and died on the spot.
"General Nan!" Wei Song was sad and shouted when he saw Nan Yun being killed by Pang Shigu on the spot.
"Hmph! You dare to be distracted when fighting me, die!" Although Wei Song and himself were hard to distinguish, Ge Congzhou knew very well that in terms of strength, Wei Song was still not as good as him. The reason why he had not decided the winner was entirely because the space on the city was narrow and he could not be used. However, in this case, Wei Song was still distracted when fighting with him. In Ge Congzhou's view, this was a rhythm of seeking death, so he waved the long sword in his hand and worked harder, with a rhythm of not giving up until he killed Wei Song.
Seeing that Ge Congzhou's offensive strengthened, Wei Song immediately retracted his dispersed mind and responded with all his strength, but the gap in strength could not be compensated by giving all his strength. Soon Wei Song was injured by Ge Congzhou's 1st knife. If it weren't for the timely dodging, this knife might have resulted in Wei Song. Although this knife did not directly kill Wei Song, it also severely damaged Wei Song, causing Wei Song to lose his combat effectiveness.
Ge Congzhou looked at the seriously injured Wei Song in front of him and asked indifferently: "Wei Song, I will see that you are good at strength. If you can abandon your weapons and surrender, I will save your life. Otherwise, today next year will be your day of worship."
"Cough!" Wei Song spitted out a mouthful of blood when he heard this and said with a slut, "No need to say more, I, Wei Songsheng, are from Daqin, and die, are the ghost of Daqin. If you want me to surrender, don't even think about it, and you can kill me if you want to kill me."
"It's stubborn!" Seeing that Wei Song was so stubborn, Ge Congzhou stopped holding back and slashed Wei Song's neck with a knife, ending Wei Song's life.
With Wei Song and Nanyun were killed one after another, the Qin army, which had no command, began to be defeated, and retreated step by step under the charge of Deng's army.
"Boom!" At this time, the city gate, which was sieged by the Deng army for several hours, was also blasted open. The city gate was wide open. Zhang Fei personally led the army into the city. After entering the city, he thought that the Qin army would lose its master and the money would scatter, but the fact was that the Deng army was disappointed. The deaths of Wei Song and Nanyun seemed to have stimulated the Qin army's blood. Except for some of them, most of them chose to fight with the Deng army in blood.
While Tianning Guard and Qin Army were fighting fiercely in the city, the other three gates were also broken by the Deng army. The other three gates were not commanded by generals like Wei Song and Nanyun, and could not stop the impact of the Deng army and were broken one after another.
As dusk approached, Deng's army finally cleared all the Qin army in the city.
As night fell, Yue Fei walked into Chenggu City surrounded by a group of generals. Looking at the soldiers carrying the bodies in front of him, Yue Fei sighed: "Oh, I hope the troubled times can end as soon as possible, so that there will be no more killing."
After arriving at the county government office, Yue Fei asked, "How are our army's casualties today?"
Xi Zhicai, who was responsible for counting casualties, replied: "Return to the general, our army wiped out the Qin army in this battle. Except for the escaped Qin army, there were no prisoners, but our army also paid the price of more than 30,000 casualties."
"Alas, this is the first time since the Battle of Jianshan that our army has experienced such a large casualty. We have taken good care of the injured soldiers. The soldiers who died in battle must be recorded one by one. After the troops return to the court, we will report to the General's Office truthfully for the pension."
