The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the weather is cold and the earth is frozen.
The battle in Weibei two days ago still made the Xu army soldiers in Yongfeng Cang City feel heartbroken. The 20,000 elite soldiers in Tongguan were easily played between the palms of a surrendered general. They were so confused that they rushed to the ambush of the enemy in Weibei overnight.
When they thought that if the King of Qin had not been in a hurry to cross the river, so they did not stop and build enough floating bridges to cross the river, nearly half of their troops would not be surrounded, they would feel scared.
I heard that the thousands of brothers in Weibei are still persevering and have not yet surrendered to the enemy. In such a stormy and snowy day, I don’t know how they lived these two days.
The whistling wind was tighter. Xu Bing, who was on duty in Cangcheng, held a spear in his arms in his arms with both hands, shrank his neck and stomped his feet to keep warm.
I looked up inadvertently and saw a large shadow moving towards this place under the night city.
Xu Bing, who was shivering, shouted in white breath and turned his head to the courier who was huddled under the battlements and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep: "Brother Niu, look at what that is?"
"It's probably a wolf. Could it be that Chen Jun flew over the Wei River in the middle of the night?" Another veteran, Youzi, also shrank under the battlements to shelter the wind and said without even looking at it.
The group opened their eyes with a little alertness, turned their heads and pressed their ears to the cold battlements and listened carefully. The more they heard, they frowned, and finally they looked at the eyes of fear. He leaned against the battlements and looked down at the city. He saw that in the white snow, there seemed to be countless white pigs moving.
As an experienced lower-level officer, Brother Niu immediately understood what was going on.
"Enemy attack! Hit the bell and send a signal!" Brother Niu's hoarse and sad voice had already resounded throughout the night sky.
Before the soldier could understand what was going on, at this moment, a featherless iron arrow had already penetrated his neck with a whistle.
"Enemy attack.Enemy attack!"
There was a turmoil on the top of the city. Some hurriedly got up and took a bow and arrow, while others were still looking around in a daze. A few were already running towards the alarm bell, while others had already lit the wudi rocket and shot into the air.
"Dangdangdang--" The alarm bell finally rang, alarming countless soldiers in the city.
But everything seemed a little late. The five hundred pioneers of the suicide squad under the city had already touched the city with white cloaks. A handful of crossbows bought the dense rain of arrows onto the city walls with no money. Several teams of soldiers moved several light thunderbolt trucks to the city, and quickly threw the first smoke bomb onto the top of the city under the cover of arrows.
Arrow rain, smoke...
The defenders on the top of the city were beaten so hard that they could not find the north and south. However, the Chen army's suicide squad had quickly used the zip line to climb up the wall.
Guangfeng Warehouse is just a large warehouse for storing grain. Although the importance of the granary was built around the granary, the city wall was simply unable to compare with those important towns and fortresses. In the eyes of those special forces with strong spirits, the city wall was just a small earth wall.
If it was a head-on attack in broad daylight, there would be various city defense weapons on the city at that time, but now it is just a wall.
"Squeak!"
The north gate of Guangfeng Cang has been opened, and the speed is amazingly fast.
Ma Ning, who had been waiting aside, immediately led 5,000 Xiliang cavalry to turn over and rush to the north gate.
"Ma Ning five thousand Xiliang cavalry entered the city from the north gate. He Ruolong and He Ruodong two generals led 5,000 soldiers and horses to surround the east gate, and General Chang Zhongxing led 5,000 soldiers and horses to surround the south gate. In addition, you lead 5,000 female soldiers to guard two miles outside the west gate. When you see Xu's army rushing out of Xiliang, you will immediately pursue it. Remember. Your task is to pursue, not to fight with the enemy. Chen Lei, you will give you the most important task. You will bring the five hundred cavalry who will follow the army to ambush ten miles west of the city to wait for your hard work. When the Xu army arrives, let the front one go first and just intercept the army. You are heavy cavalry and you only need to charge once and retreat. The ones behind will be dealt with by me and the generals."
"Your Majesty, we have suddenly taken the North Gate by surprise. Why don't we just surround the enemy and annihilate the enemy? Why do we have to let them run away and chase after them? Wouldn't that be a problem?"
Chen Kefu smiled: "The military book says that it is impossible to surround three. Although we caught the enemy off guard, we only had 20,000 troops, and Yuwen Shiji and at least 40,000. In addition, this Guangfeng Cang is the largest granary in Guanzhong, where tens of millions of stones of grain are stored here. I don't want to destroy these grains in the war. What's more, if the four gates are surrounded and killed, the enemy has no way to retreat, and they will be determined to break the enemy's death. At that time, we will fight with us. Even if three or one or one, we will lose money."
"The empty north gate will not be surrounded, leaving a glimmer of hope for the Xu army. In a hurry, the Xu army will definitely not fight to the end, and there will definitely be someone running away. The Xu army in the city is composed of many troops. As long as someone starts running, no one will stay and defend. At that time, they will rush to escape, and there will be no fighting spirit. I guess their own people will have to trample on a thousand or eight hundred people to death. When they finally leave the city, when the five thousand female troops suddenly chased them, they will only continue to flee. When the formations run along the way are scattered and the soldiers are tired and trapped, our heavy cavalry suddenly comes out. Who can stop it? At that time, the Xu army will be in chaos. When we pursue them from behind, the Xu army will be defeated. In this way, no one can escape for 40,000 Xu army."
Chang Zhongxing and other generals couldn't help but nodded to the emperor. They were really scheming. Obviously, with the current situation, even if Chen Jun fought hard, he could annihilate the 40,000 troops in the city. But Chen Kefu was so cautious that he did not have any conceit in this situation, but used the most secure plan steadily.
All the generals received the general order and each led the troops of the headquarters to follow the order.
In Guangfeng Cang City, everything was indeed as Chen Kefu expected. Ma Ning broke through the north gate with lightning speed. When he entered the city, Yu Wenshi and the gods of Chen's army did not believe that the gods of Chen's army came from the sky.
The vast Wei River lies there, how did these soldiers pass through the Wei River? Tens of thousands of people, even if the floating bridge is paved, it will take a lot of time to pass through. But now, without knowing any news, Chen Jun not only suddenly killed the Wei River, but also instantly broke through the pass and entered the city.
There were shouts of killing everywhere in Guangfeng Cang City, and the rumbling horse hooves were resounding like thunder.
"The east gate was taken away, Chen Jun rushed in!"
"The south gate is broken..."
Chen Jun came too quickly, breaking the city faster, and he didn't give Xu Jun in the city any reaction time. It was the fourth update, and it was the time when the soldiers of each army were sleeping soundly. After being caught off guard, they couldn't even react.
What's even more terrible is that as soon as Ma Ning broke into the city, he had already dispatched 5,000 Xiliang cavalry to advance according to the pre-determined target according to the combat plan.
The Xu army in Guangfeng Cang City were cut off almost the first time. Originally, each unit came from each pass and city, and a unified command system had not been established. Now, the attack by the Chen army was even more chaotic. The nominal supreme commander Yu Wen and the army rushed into the Central Army camp in a panic. Half of the troops had just assembled, and Ma Ning had already arrived with a horse and shot.
Xu Jun, who gathered in a hurry, was no match for the murderous Western Liang men. After a few rounds of rushing, the barely gathered formation was broken.
"Walk towards the West Gate, the West Gate is still in our hands."
A lieutenant arrived in a hurry, and Xiang Yuwen and other generals shouted loudly, gasping as if they were breathing.
"Walk!"
"Can't leave!" Yu Wenshi's face turned blue. "Guangfeng is the granary of the court. After Guangfeng lost money, not only did Tongguan cut supplies, but the capital Chang'an would cut off food. What's more, I don't know how many thieves have arrived. Is it possible for us to do it? The city is there, and people are there, so I will never take a step back!"
Yu Wenshi was extremely excited, but his words were actually very reasonable. At the moment, the current chaos, and even the basic situation was not clear. How many enemies have come and how many they have entered the city? Are there any ambush outside the city, or is it just a surprise soldier in a partial army? I didn’t know anything, so I hurriedly fled. How did I know that Ximen was not a trap set by the enemy?
But at this time, the war was in chaos, and the shadows of Chen's cavalry were everywhere in the city. The Chen army came too fast, and the defense of the Wei River seemed to have no effect on the Chen army at all. In addition, the Chen army entered the city too fast, so no one knows how Chen army came into the city. At this time, the morale of the army was in chaos, and who would continue to stay in the city.
Another shout of killing came, and a group of Xu Jun who had been slaughtered rushed over, in an extremely embarrassed manner.
Some people recognized the support soldier from Chang'an. The one who was extremely embarrassed was not Zhang Jin, the right guard general. However, Zhang Jin did not have the style of a general at this time, and it was almost the same as a beggar.
"General Zhang, what's the situation?"
Zhang Jin was completely stunned. Seeing that Yu Wen Shi and others were still standing there, he couldn't help but shout: "King Qin quickly, it would be too late if he didn't leave. The camp in the East City is gone. Now there are Chen troops everywhere in the city. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people. The brothers were attacked and all were broken up. If they don't leave, don't think about leaving. I heard that the North Gate, East Gate, and South Gate were all lost. Now the West Gate is still holding on, and I guess it won't be able to defend for a long time. King, let's avoid the enemy's front for a while and leave the city to reorganize the army before fighting."
"You can't leave. Guangfeng Cangcheng still has tens of millions of stones of food, so you can't fall into the hands of the thief army." Yu Wenshi was reluctant to leave.
Zhang Jin said cruelly: "Then send someone to set a torch and burn the granary."
"No, this is our own granary."
"Then we will go back to the army and take it back later. King, let alone food, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of soldiers in the city will not be able to save them."
Zhang Jun also said on the side: "King, let's go. The Chen thief can break the city today, but it's just a trick. The Chen army only has 20,000 or 30,000 people. As long as we gather our troops, we can still kill us at any time."
