Chapter 354
Taking advantage of the death of the two Peng soldiers above his head, Wu Guang gathered all his strength and rushed to the top of the city TXT download. When he was under the city, there was nothing he could do against the Peng soldiers on the city. Now that he had successfully rushed to the city wall, he no longer took these Peng soldiers seriously.
Wu Guang waved his spiritual sword, and in just one pass, dozens of people were killed by his sword. The Peng soldiers around him also wanted to besiege him. Wu Guang saw the opportunity and unleashed his sword continuously on the most densely populated areas of the enemy. Three spiritual waves. The spirit wave flew into the Peng soldiers, and screams were heard.
Seeing this, the remaining Peng soldiers were so frightened that they retreated subconsciously. As soon as they retreated, the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army who were climbing the ladder outside the city immediately seized the air machine, rushed to the top of the city, and shot from the arrow. After jumping off the stack, the soldiers took off the knives from their mouths, raised them high in the air, and roared to kill Peng's army.
First, one city wall was breached by the Pingyuan Army, then the second and the third. Soon, the east wall of Yancheng was covered with officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army. The people were like wild beasts with red eyes, chasing down the Peng soldiers crazily.
How could the Peng soldiers, who were ill-prepared and outnumbered, be able to withstand the attack of the Pingyuan army? Soon, the Peng army on the city began to collapse across the board. Some soldiers fled down the city wall along the stairs, and some soldiers were killed by others. They were pushed and squeezed and fell from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. Their bones were broken and their tendons were broken. It was unbearable to see.
Seeing that all the Peng soldiers had fled down the city wall, Wu Guang's hair stood on end with excitement. He knew in his heart that his side was only one step away from victory. He waved his spiritual sword forward and shouted at the soldiers on the left and right: "Brothers, follow me into the city and annihilate the enemy. No one will be left behind! Kill!"
"Kill--"
Wu Guang fought bravely and was extremely powerful, winning the hearts of the soldiers. He climbed up and shouted, and everyone responded. The soldiers of the Pingyuan Army followed Wu Guang and fought directly into the city from the top of the city.
The fighting on the top of the city was so fierce, and at this time in the Peng Army camp below the city, there were still many soldiers in a drunken stupor. Before they woke up, they were confused and fell victim to the swords of the Pingyuan Army in their sleep. The ghost.
Before Ye Cheng arrived at Dongcheng, Wu Guang had already led his troops to break through Dongcheng's defenses and enter the city. According to the original plan, Wu Guang did not charge into the central hinterland of Yancheng, but went straight to Nancheng to meet the Zhanhu group who attacked Nancheng.
Before Wu Guang could reach Nancheng, he saw countless soldiers and generals running like scattered sand in front of him. Wu Guang gritted his teeth and without pausing for a moment, he rushed forward to face the wave of soldiers. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Wu Guang used the Spiritual Chaos Wind. More than a hundred Peng soldiers fell to the ground under the spiritual blades all over the sky, covered in blood, and died unexpectedly.
"ah--"
At this moment, a Peng general wearing sky blue spiritual armor rushed out from the Peng soldiers. He held a spiritual spear in his hand. He shouted and rushed towards Wu Guang, shaking his arms and stabbing him several times. Wu Guang sneered, and calmly blocked his killing moves one by one. Just as he was about to return his sword to counterattack, he suddenly heard someone behind General Peng shouting: "He is mine!"
Following the words, the rapid and heavy footsteps of "dong, dong, dong" were heard. Wu Guang raised his eyes and saw that Zhan Hu had rushed up from behind this group of Peng soldiers. His huge body broke into the crowd of Peng soldiers. He didn't even need to use his hands. The simple collision had already made the Peng soldiers miserable. Many of them were blocked. The Peng soldiers in front of him didn't even understand what was going on, and were knocked straight out by Zhan Hu.
Even though Zhan Hu was tall and strong, his sprinting speed was not slow at all. As soon as his shouting voice fell, he had already rushed behind the Peng general, and the giant hammer came out sideways, and at the same time he shouted: "I see you Where are you going?”
Buzz!
The giant hammer rubbed the air, and the dull sound it made made people's hearts tremble. Even a spiritual martial arts master like Wu Guang secretly frowned, fearing that it would be affected, and instinctively took two steps back. General Peng heard the bad wind beside him and wanted to dodge, but it was too late and he could only stand up his gun to block it.
when!
The hammer head of the giant hammer hit the gun barrel firmly, and with a harsh iron collision sound, the Peng general screamed involuntarily, and his body was shot out sideways like a cannonball. With a bang, his body was hitting the On a courtyard wall beside the road, a large hole was made in the stone brick wall, and others rolled into the courtyard.
Before Peng Jiang struggled to stand up, he spurted several mouthfuls of blood.
Zhan Hu didn't give him any time to catch his breath. His huge body directly hit the courtyard wall and rushed into the courtyard. He raised his giant hammer, aimed at General Peng's head, and smashed it down with all his strength.
Snapped! Boom - With this hammer blow, Peng General's head was smashed, and even a large deep pit was made in the ground, and the scattered flesh, blood, and brains were scattered all over the ground.
Wu Guang could see clearly from behind and couldn't help but grin and exclaimed: "General Zhan Hu is really the most powerful general in our army!"
Zhan Hujiang resisted the bloody hammer on his shoulder and laughed. He walked out of the yard, first looked back at the south of the city, then raised his eyes to the east of the city, and muttered: "It seems that General Wu Guang is one step ahead of me." Entering the city."
Wu Guang waved his hands and said: "Brothers, there is no difference between you and me." As he spoke, he waved to Zhan Hu and said: "The enemy soldiers are all fleeing in the city. You and I must not let a fish slip through the net." , we must kill them all to avoid future troubles!”
"I'll listen to you!"
"Walk!"
The two teams of Wu Guang and Zhan Hu met together and rushed towards the center of Yancheng.
When Ye Cheng put on his armor, picked up his weapon, and led his warhorse out of the mansion, he saw hundreds of Pengjun soldiers running outside with wounds and panic on their faces. When they saw Ye Cheng, they swarmed up and said in unison: "General, it's bad, the enemy has broken through the East City!"
"The South City has also been broken, General, the enemy has already rushed into the city!"
Listening to the reports from the soldiers below, Ye Cheng was a little overwhelmed for a while. The East and South of the city have both been lost? How is this possible? The report just received was that the enemy was discovered, how could the enemy enter the city so quickly? However, the wounds on the soldiers' bodies were not fake, could the enemy really have entered the city?
After a long pause, Ye Cheng came back to his senses and shouted: "We have 10,000 soldiers, where are they now?"
"All killed! General, our soldiers are almost killed by the enemy, General, make a decision!" A blood-stained centurion stepped forward and looked at Ye Cheng eagerly.
All 10,000 soldiers were killed? Ye Cheng was dumbfounded. What should he do? He didn't know what to do. Is there any other choice except escaping from Yancheng?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the warhorse and said as he got on the horse: "Retreat, retreat, retreat! Evacuate the capital immediately!"
"General, don't!" The surrounding generals came forward and pulled Ye Cheng who was about to get on the horse. Everyone said in a hurry: "If the general evacuates Yancheng, even if he escapes the enemy's pursuit, he will definitely be severely punished by the king. If things go wrong, even his family will be implicated. The general must not withdraw!"
The words of the generals made Ye Cheng shudder. Yes! He is now the garrison commander of Yancheng. If he flees without fighting, Zhong Tian will not let him go, nor will he let his family go. He looked around at everyone in a panic, shaking his hands and asked: "What do you think I should do now?" As he spoke, he pointed at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him and asked: "Do we have to rely on these few hundred people to resist the enemy troops entering the city?"
The generals grinned. Using only these few people to stop the enemy army is undoubtedly a futile attempt. One of the generals reacted the fastest and advised Ye Cheng: "General, why don't you gather the fleeing soldiers of our army and retreat to the palace, using the palace's city defense as a barrier, and perhaps we can hold on until General Li and his men come back."
"Oh?" This made Ye Cheng's spirits rise. Yes, how could he forget the palace! Since Zhong Tian usurped the throne, the palace's city defense has been strengthened, especially after Tang Yin entered the palace to assassinate, Zhong Tian has higher requirements for the safety of the palace. According to the current defense of the palace, it is not a problem to resist tens of thousands of enemy troops.
After thinking about it, Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "According to your opinion, we will retreat to the palace." After saying that, he hurriedly mounted his horse and led his lieutenants and soldiers to retreat to the palace. At the same time, Ye Cheng also sent people to spread the news of retreating to the palace and notify his own soldiers who were defeated in various places in the city.
The lieutenant was right. The city defense of the palace in Yancheng was indeed very complete. It had become a city within a city. Not only was the palace wall high, but there were also a large number of city defense equipment and food stored inside. Even if tens of thousands of people were stationed inside for several months, it would not be a problem.
After receiving Ye Cheng's order, the Peng soldiers who fled back to the city gathered towards the palace. Soon, these scattered soldiers and brave men also gathered three or four thousand people.
Ye Cheng commanded all the soldiers to climb onto the palace wall and seal the palace gate, ready to fight to the end.
After Wu Guang and Zhan Hu entered the city, they chased the defeated Peng soldiers, but not only was there no trace of Peng soldiers on the streets, but even civilians could not be seen. Hearing that the Tianyuan Army had entered the city, the people had already run back home, and the shops were closed one after another. People were not afraid of the Tianyuan Army, but they were afraid of being affected by the fighting between the two sides. In times of war, of course, they would hide and avoid as much as possible.
Just as Wu Guang and Zhan Hu were searching for the remnants of the Peng Army, a figure suddenly jumped out of the alley in front of them. After seeing the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army, the man ran up quickly.
"Who is it?"
Because the man was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army did not kill him, but surrounded him first.
The man hurriedly took out a military badge from his arms and said to everyone in a serious tone: "I am a spy of Tianyan, and I want to see your general!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, the soldiers were all stunned. One of them stood up, took the military badge, looked down, and then left the crowd to report to Wu Guang.
Ordinary soldiers did not recognize Tianyan's military badge, but Wu Guang did. After he saw it, he immediately said: "Hurry up and bring that Tianyan brother over!"
