Chapter 494: A Crushing Defeat

However, the Jinxia defenders in the city were already panicking. After learning that there was a way out, they saw Chen Jun coming in. They were originally wavering between desperately resisting and escaping, and their hearts were all leaning towards the latter, feeling that Chen Jun With everyone attacking, Bingcheng cannot be defended, so we should retreat.

Therefore, in the face of Gar's loud shouting, not many people followed it.

Not only that, after the Shenwu Guards entered the city, they had already formed a Yanyue formation to kill the Jinxia front army in the city, and then were responsible for killing the Jinxia soldiers in the city.

Soldiers holding large shields and horizontal swords were in front.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and spearmen wearing heavy armor and holding spears followed behind the swordsmen and shieldmen.

Behind them, there were more infantry armed with spears.

The archers climbed onto the roofs of private houses or some high points where people could stand, and from a high position they killed the Jinxia people in twos and threes, and were responsible for covering the advance of the army.

Because of the orders from above, the advance was not fast.

The sound of rapid horse hooves resounded in the city.

As the east city gate was breached, Chen Mo also entered the city with his military camp. After hearing the sound of horse hooves, he immediately climbed onto the city wall and watched with a telescope in hand.

It turned out that they were facing Chen Jun's formation advancement.

The Jin Xia Army in the city didn't know what they were thinking, but they actually sent cavalry to charge into the formation.

Now, it was the Divine Guard's turn to take action.

The Divine Arm Crossbow Battalion of the Divine Warrior Guards moved forward into the formation of the Divine Warrior Guards and lined up in a row.

"Woo——"

The trumpet sounds.

The powerful mechanism shot out instantly.

The extremely penetrating crossbow arrows passed through the air with a roar of death, and shot into the oncoming Jinxia cavalry with great force.

"Pfft."

"咴"

The man fell on his back and his horse fell over.

The divine arm crossbow can even penetrate iron armor. The horrific damage caused the horse to feel pain and raise its front hooves high, like a human standing, throwing the cavalryman on its back to the ground.

Before the cavalryman could get up from the pain, another horse next to him suddenly fell to the ground and hit him.

Under the pressure of the divine arm crossbow, the Jinxia cavalry fell down halfway through the charge. The streets in the city were not wide, so the front fell down, forming more obstacles, tripping up the cavalry behind, and making subsequent The charge was completely blocked.

Crossbow bolts continued to shoot out, and the corpses of cavalry and war horses piled up like mountains.

"kill!"

After defusing the charge of the Jinxia cavalry, the Shenwu Guards continued to advance in formation.

With Chen Jun's tacit cooperation, the Jin Xia Army's barely organized defense line in the city began to collapse rapidly and retreated backwards.

They had no fighting spirit to resist at all.

Can he definitely stop Chen Jun?

How to block this?

At this point, the Jinxia garrison at the east gate of the city fell into chaos and kept retreating. The general was unable to give orders to the soldiers.

Gar's soldiers retreated to guard Gar, and said urgently: "General, lead the rear army to escape, we can't stop it."

However, Gar, who had walked through the gate of death, was actually frightened away a lot of courage. Seeing that he could not defeat the Chen army and more and more Chen troops entered the city, Gar did not insist and ordered: "Towards the west gate. retreat."

Both the south gate and the north gate were surrounded by Chen Jun, but there was no Chen Jun outside the west gate.

It stands to reason that at this time, everyone would notice something strange at the West City Gate.

Tuoba Zhu naturally felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, but under the current situation, even if he knew that there were tigers in Ximen Mountain, he had to go to Tiger Mountain.

There are Chen troops surrounding the south gate and the north gate. If you retreat from these two gates, you will definitely be blocked by the Chen troops outside. When the Chen troops enter the city from the east gate and kill them, they will be attacked from both front and rear. There will be a dead end. .

We can only go to Ximen to fight for a chance of survival.

Just because of this glimmer of hope, the Jin Xia Army no longer has the strength to fight again.

"Send the order, tell them to slow down a little bit, they're biting too hard."

After realizing that the defeated Jin Xia army was heading towards the west gate, Chen Mo was overjoyed and quickly ordered the Shenwu Guards not to bite too hard.

Xia Zhining knew what was going on but didn't say anything.

Sun Meng was a little confused and said: "Master Hou, if we don't bite you, these barbarians will escape from the west gate."

"They can't escape."

The gap in the west gate was prepared for them by Chen Mo a long time ago.

When Chen Mo first besieged and merged the city, he divided Shen Yong, Shen Wu, the Three Guards of the Formation, and the Jiangdong Army into four parts to encircle and merge the four walls of the city.

The east city gate has the largest number of troops.

Later, Chen Mo withdrew the troops from the west gate and did not move them to any of the east, south or north gates. Instead, he asked them to retreat to a mountain forest ten miles away from the west gate to ambush.

And this is the real killer move of the "surrounding three and missing one" tactic.

Breaking the east gate was only to put pressure on the Jin Xia army and induce them to flee. The Chen army at the south and north gates was to ensure the uniqueness of the west gate and prevent the Jin Xia army from fleeing.

Chen Mo had been planning for so many days, not only to drive them out of the Song Dynasty, but also to completely destroy the 30,000 troops who had merged with the city.

After learning that the Jin Xia army that was annexing the city fled from the west gate, Chen Mo immediately ordered the Chen army that was slowly advancing in the city to speed up their march and let the Xiaoqi guards dispatch to bite them.

The other side.

Cui Shuang and Song Shiming led nearly 7,000 troops and ambush in a mountain forest called "Jishiling" ten miles away from the west gate of the city.

The sun was setting in the west, and Cui Shuang had just ordered the general to prepare the soldiers for dinner, and at the same time sent out scouts to inquire about the military situation surrounding the city.

"General, a large number of Jinxia cavalry were found coming towards us, and the troops were marching in a panic." The scout who had just been sent out came running quickly to report to Cui Shuang.

Cui Shuang raised his eyebrows, suddenly perked up, and asked: "How many soldiers are there?"

The scout said: "It was too hasty to estimate, but this Jinxia cavalry seemed to have just experienced a fight and escaped from Bingcheng."

"Haha, General Cui, it seems that the Marquis succeeded, and it's our turn." Song Shiming was overjoyed.

Since joining Chen Mo, Song Shiming has not made a decent contribution until now. Now it is finally his turn to make a contribution, and he is very excited.

"Pass the order, let everyone hide and prepare to meet the enemy." Cui Shuang was also a little excited.

After Gal and his troops escaped from Bingcheng from the west gate, Tuoba Zhu, who had a clear grasp of the surrounding situation these days, immediately reminded Gal to send a small force to explore the front and temporarily slow down the retreat.

But at this moment, the subordinates came to report that Chen Jun's cavalry was chasing from behind.

The frightened Jin Xia army, knowing that Chen Jun's cavalry was catching up, didn't care if there was anything strange ahead.

Slow down the march?

They now wished they had two less legs.

The cavalry whipped their horses in panic and fled in the direction of "Jishiling".
