Chapter 948: Battle of Shouchun (14)

However, today Shouchun City is patrolled by Yuan Shu's soldiers all day long. Only a small number of people with connections or property who can bribe the soldiers can really hide in the two places. Most ordinary people cannot leave their homes. Home. But many people are already prepared and will definitely find ways to leave if given the opportunity.

The time soon came to September 11th. At the end of the morning, the soldiers of the Anton Army who were fighting fiercely suddenly heard loud shouts from the direction of Dongcheng. Everyone was startled, and then looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. color. However, many people have an idea coming from the bottom of their hearts. Could it be that the gate of Dongcheng has been breached?

As expected, a quarter of an hour later, a horse riding from the southeast came from the southeast. As the war horses ran wildly, the knights on the horses shouted wildly: "Dongcheng has been broken! The Yanzhou Army has entered the city!"

In a moment, the cavalry had already rushed to the center of the army. The cavalry dismounted and threw the reins into the hands of the soldiers beside him. Without even a moment of pause, he ran towards the center of the car, running as he did. , while reporting loudly: "General Qi, the Yanzhou Army has captured the east gate of Shouchun and is now attacking the city! When my subordinates received the news, the two sides were fighting fiercely at the city gate. The Yanzhou Army had already taken the entire army and was marching on it. Launch a fierce attack on Yuan Shu's army!"

As soon as the cavalry finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the people in the army. Immediately afterwards, thunderous killing cries rang out from the direction of the south gate. It seemed that Sun Ce, who had received the news, had launched a general attack on the south gate.

As expected, the patrol came to report a moment later that Sun Ce's army at the south gate had launched a fierce attack on the south gate, and all the generals of Sun Ce's army had been dispatched.

When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he was overjoyed and turned to look at Huang Zhong. At this time, Huang Zhong was carefully observing the situation of Yuan Shu's army. It was Wang Ran's troops who were attacking the city. At this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers at the top of the city seemed to be shocked by the loud shouts from the east of the city. They were in a state of shock and uncertainty. , Wang Ran quickly led his troops to the top of the city and occupied a small area.

Although some soldiers reacted and wanted to drive Wang Ran's troops off the city, they were delayed a lot of time because some soldiers were frightened and suspicious. In just a few breaths of time, dozens of Anton Army soldiers rushed to the top of the city, relying on each other with Wang Ran and others to protect a siege ladder behind them.

Huang Zhong quickly discovered the strange behavior of Yuan Shu's soldiers at the head of the city. He knew that no matter whether the East Gate was captured or not, it was a good opportunity at this time, so he immediately ordered: "Generals, listen to the order!"

"No!" Everyone clasped their fists and marched out. According to Huangfu Chaobo's military order, everyone in the army from him on down followed Huang Zhong's orders, so all the generals present lined up to wait for Huang Zhong's military order.

"General Dian Wei, lead the Iron Wall Battalion to quickly attack the city and take over from Wang Ran's troops. After the follow-up army arrives on the city, open the Wengcheng and the west gate to welcome the army into the city!"

"General, take the order!" Dian Wei heard Huang Zhong's military order and quickly went out to take the order.

"General Chen Jing!"

"The general is here!"

"Let your Iron Eagle warriors follow closely behind, attack the city head, take over the position of the Iron Wall Battalion, and occupy the city head position until the follow-up army arrives! Then the army is divided into two groups, attacking north and south along the city wall, and control The entire west wall.”

"promise!"

"General Huang Wudie obeys the order!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you to lead two schools of soldiers and guard five thousand troops, follow General Chen Jing, and take over the occupied city wall!"

"The last general takes command!"

After saying that, Huang Zhong looked at the other generals and said: "The rest of the generals, prepare your troops and horses, and quickly attack the city after the city gate is opened. General Huangfu Li led 15,000 soldiers to the north, and General Han Xian Fifteen thousand soldiers went south to control the entire Xicheng District of Shouchun under the control of our Andong Army. The remaining troops followed the general to attack the inner city. "

"Call the soldiers and horses from all ministries to shout in unison that the city gate has been broken, and those who surrender will be spared death. At the same time, all the captive people are gathered towards the west gate, in units of a thousand people, and handed over to Huang Wudie's tribe for custody. At the same time, he orders the guards of the camp to send People went outside Wengcheng and sent the captive people to the camp for resettlement and care.

"

"Everyone, make your contribution today! Tell the soldiers, if you capture Shouchun City, the general will be generous with your reward!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhong slowly raised the long knife in his hand, pointed it forward and said: "Attack the city!"

All the generals drew their weapons and shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Dong dong dong..."

All of a sudden, the trumpets and drums of the Chinese army sounded in unison, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "The city gate has been broken, those who surrender will avoid death!" and quickly killed towards the city wall!

The shocking shouts of killing stunned Yuan Shu's soldiers at the top of the city. The defenders who were already panicking because of the huge cheers from the east city became even more panicked. The huge shouts of killing covered up the shouts of General Yuan Shu's army at the top of the city. .

Soon Dian Wei, who was taking the lead, climbed onto the city wall and quickly reached Wang Ran's side, boosting the morale of the Anton army soldiers at the top of the city. As Dian Wei joined in, the soldiers who defended the city were killed and retreated step by step. Immediately afterwards, more and more soldiers from the Tiebei Battalion rushed to the top of the city. With their joining, the soldiers of the Anton Army at the top of the city were overwhelmingly powerful and quickly occupied a large area of ​​​​the city.

Thousands of soldiers from the Iron Wall Battalion all boarded the city in less than half an hour. Although the city defenders also made several counterattacks under the organization of the general, what made them despair was that no matter how they counterattacked, they could not break through. They couldn't defend the Iron Wall Battalion, let alone drive it off the city.

After Chen Jing led the Iron Eagle Warriors to climb the city wall, Dian Wei and Wang Ran immediately split up and headed for the tower on the west wall along the city wall.

The gate of the city wall consists of two defenses: a sluice gate controlled by the top of the city wall and a gate that can be opened from inside the city. Although the Andong Army has controlled most of the city wall of the city wall, there is no passage leading to the city wall. The only way is to enter the city through the west tower and open the west gate from inside, and then enter the city wall to open its gate.

Fortunately, Dian Wei's army came quickly, so the defenders did not have time to destroy the sluice gate of the city wall. Now the sluice gate of the city wall has been opened, and the Andong Army soldiers outside the city have begun to hit the city gate with a battering ram, hoping to quickly knock the city gate open.

Thousands of soldiers from the Iron Wall Camp, led by Dian Wei and Wang Ran, quickly pushed back the defenders. As more and more soldiers from the Anton Army attacked the city walls, some soldiers from Yuan Shu's army could not bear the pressure anymore and threw away their weapons to flee. Fortunately, a soldier from the Imperial Guards who was supervising the battle from behind chopped the deserter down on the city wall with a single sword, which prevented the shaky defense line of the defenders from collapsing. However, that was all. It was impossible for them to drive the Anton Army off the city walls and reoccupy the city wall.
