Although the soldiers at the first post are elite, their individual combat effectiveness is still inferior compared to the 300 tent soldiers on the opposite side. What is even more annoying is that the city gate is only so big. The soldiers at the first post

Even the numerical advantage could not be reflected. They were squeezed into the small doorway and the two sides fought desperately. The ground was full of fallen corpses.

When Wang Min rode his horse to the south city gate, he faced such a situation. He only glanced at the battle situation in the city gate hole. Wang Min's heart went cold. He took three steps at a time and rushed up to the city wall. The cavalry on the opposite side

It has been clearly seen that with the speed of the Mongolian cavalry, it only takes half a stick of incense to get here, and the time of half a stick of incense is not enough for the city defenders to eliminate this Mongolian army.

Lucheng was about to fall. Wang Min made this judgment immediately.

Grabbing an officer in Renyong's uniform, Wang Min loudly ordered: "Lead your men, use horses, antlers, and everything else you can find to build a defense line fifty meters away from the city gate.

, and hold on to it to the death.”

"Yes, General Wang!" The arrival of Wang Min made these soldiers find their backbone at once. Wang Min was a general they were familiar with. This Renyong Colonel quickly led his soldiers and conquered all the soldiers within sight.

Everything that could build obstacles was moved over, forming a defense line about two meters high not far from the city gate.

"Bring me all the crossbows on the city wall and set them up here! Gather all the soldiers you can find here and prepare to deal with the enemy's cavalry attack!" Wang Min shouted hoarsely.

There were ten bed crossbows on the south wall. Under Wang Min's order, these ten bed crossbows were quickly carried down.

Under Wang Min's command, about 500 soldiers quickly gathered on this line of defense.

"Crossbow, aim it at the city gate hole and shoot!" Wang Min shouted.

Colonel Renyong was shocked, "General, there are hundreds of our brothers there!" In the city gate cave, Sima Dan led more than a hundred people to attack desperately, but made little progress.

Wang Min's face was livid, "Behind us, there are one hundred thousand Lucheng people! Shoot!" He rushed forward, kicked a soldier away, stretched out his hand to pull the trigger of a crossbow, and there was a loud buzzing sound.

The crossbow arrows shot toward the city gate with a whistling sound. No matter the enemy or friend, the powerful bed crossbows were like strings of candied haws, shooting down both the enemy and us.

Tuoli did not expect that the opponent's general would be so decisive and use a powerful crossbow to fire at random regardless of the enemy. When he turned around, he saw that the cavalry was already in front of him. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted: "The time has come to be loyal to the country. We can't fight to the death."

Retreat! Guard the city gate."

The roaring crossbows shot down both the enemy and ourselves in droves. The Mongolian army suffered heavy losses in an instant, but they still firmly guarded the city gate.

There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and Yao Meng ran from behind. When he saw Wang Min, he was a little shocked. At this time, he could no longer care about anything. "General Wang, what should I do?" He habitually waited for Wang Min's order.

"We can't hold it anymore!" Wang Min's words were filled with sobs. "Yao Meng, take the rest of your soldiers and withdraw them all to the north gate. Build a defense line at the north gate and guard the north gate to the death.

The people in the city retreated."

"General, I'm blocking you here, you go to the north gate to take command." Yao Meng shouted.

"Get lost!" Wang Min yelled angrily: "Get the hell out of here and go to the North Gate quickly. I will buy you half an hour at most. I will take the other three sentries from the First Battalion to guard the North Gate city wall."

"Yes, General!" Yao Meng listened to the sound of cavalry rolling in from outside the city. Knowing that he could not delay any longer, he turned his horse's head and shouted: "Follow me!"

More than two thousand soldiers of the First Battalion who were quickly gathering here from the military camp quickly retreated towards the north gate.

Sima Dan was lucky and managed to escape from the city gate alive. He was lying behind the defense line covered in blood, breathing heavily. Wang Min looked at the color of the clothes this person was wearing and knew that this person was the second one.

The sentry general on the first whistle, but he didn't know him. He had obviously just been promoted, so he kicked him, "Get up, get ready to fight. What's your name?"

"The last general, Sima Dan!" Sima Dan shouted loudly and jumped up.

Wang Min was slightly startled, it turned out that he was from the Sima family.

The first war horse leaped in from outside the city gate, followed closely behind him by the dark war horse. Almost as soon as the war horse showed its figure, the whistle of the crossbow sounded, and the powerful crossbow arrow hit the horse.

He shot a cross, and with a bang, the heavy horse fell to the ground. The rider on the horse was crushed under the horse, and was immediately trampled to pieces by those who came after him.

"Brothers at the first post, let's fight. If we buy a little more time, one more of the people in Lucheng will be evacuated. Fight until death!" Wang Min shouted loudly, waving his saber.

The ferocious spirit that the soldiers of the first battalion had developed over a long period of time was successfully aroused at this moment, "Till death do we rest!"

More than ten crossbows were fired one after another, sealing the city gate hole tightly. In a moment, the city gate hole was blocked by the corpses of men and horses.

The Meng riders rushed up one by one, waving their iron hooks, dragging away the dead bodies and clearing the way forward. In response, dozens more people fell to the ground.

Outside the city, the big tent soldiers rushed up, waving long rope loops in their hands. The rope loops flew high and accurately hit the wall stacks more than ten meters high. The soldiers on the horses used the momentum of the horses to pull hard.

Hold on to the rope, fly high, and climb quickly along the wall of the city wall.

After half a stick of incense, there were already hundreds of large tent soldiers on the city wall, waving their sabers and charging towards the line of defense built by Wang Min from the top of the city wall.

"Sima Dan, stay here. There is a bed crossbow to seal the city gate." Wang Min shouted to Sima Dan beside him. He drew his sword and rushed towards the city wall with one or two hundred soldiers, shouting.

At this time, more and more enemies are emerging from the city wall.

A hundred miles away from Lucheng, the thousands of Gorgos cavalry and the remaining hundreds of large tent soldiers under the command of Jamukha had already fought several times with Sima Rui's main force in Lucheng.

The dozens of bed crossbows assembled by the army caused great damage to Ruth's left-wing Gorgos troops on the spot. Once these powerful bed crossbows had the advantage of clustering, their destructive power would immediately become apparent, and they would be as powerful as the eagle's beak.

The Gorgos tribe of the Yanma bandits generally used running tactics. Under the fan attack of dozens of bed crossbows, hundreds of people lost their lives in the first wave. The powerful bed crossbows sometimes took away two people with one arrow.

human life.

If the bed crossbow hadn't been fired too slowly, Ruth's losses would have been even greater. Gorgos's troops took advantage of the gaps in the bed crossbow firing to gallop forward, charge swiftly, and shoot back and forth.

The first wave of shooting by bed crossbows achieved great results, but then the opponent took precautions, and the effect was greatly reduced. However, the tightly packed Lucheng border troops used the mountains of guns and the bows and arrows in the forest to

Fighting back, for a moment, left the opponent helpless. A dense formation and fearless soldiers have always been a panacea for restraining cavalry. What's more, there are dozens of crossbows waiting for the opportunity to launch.

Ruth and Lu Tai took turns attacking, but still couldn't take down the thorn in front of them.

Sima Rui looked towards the direction of Lucheng, his eyes full of worry, and looked at Shen Feng beside him, "What should we do now? If we continue to waste like this, the enemy will not care, but it will be a big disadvantage for us. I am afraid that there is danger over there in Lucheng. .”

Shen Feng closed his eyes, and after a while, he said: "I'm afraid there's no need to think about Lucheng. What you have to do now is to preserve the few troops in your hand. Next, there will be a large-scale battle with the Mongolian army." In this war, you are the only army within hundreds of miles around Lu City."

Sima Rui was stunned for a long time, then stretched out his hand to summon a personal guard, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The guard nodded, mounted his horse and ran away.

"But now, I can't get rid of the other party's entanglement!"

"Hai, let's go until night." Shen Feng opened his eyes and looked at the cavalry on the opposite side, "People can persist, but horses can't. They need to rest and eat. This group of Mongolian cavalry fought with us for a long time. We have been fighting you for so long without any rest, and we are at the end of our strength. If we hold on, we will be able to get rid of them by night."

Sima Rui nodded, "That's all we can do!"

The two armies faced each other, and on a small oasis only a few dozen miles away from them, Yun Zhao, Hong Niangzi, Sanyanhu, Yan Xiaoyi, Wan Yuan and other remaining members of Yingzuiyan gathered here. , above the oasis, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. In this battle, Yingzui Rock was completely defeated.

"What should we do now? The people in our old nest are still in the hands of the other party, and the old boss has also fallen into the hands of Sima Rui. What should we do?" Yan Xiaoyi sniffed and looked at the people in front of him.

Yun Zhao was silent for a long time, "Wait, wait for the opportunity, Xiao Yi, have you sent out a sentry?"

Yan Xiaoyi nodded, "We've been sent out, we should be back soon."

The red lady held her head and squatted on the ground, her shoulders twitching, obviously crying. Yun Zhao walked over and patted her spine gently: "Miaomiao, don't worry, we can definitely rescue Uncle Shen. Now the Mongolian army It’s time to fight with Sima Rui. If we follow him all the way, we will have a chance."

The red lady raised her head, and she, who had always been extremely strong, finally revealed her daughter's vulnerable side, her face full of tears, "Yun Zhao, what should we do? Can Uncle Shen really be rescued?"

"Yes, we will definitely be able to rescue Uncle Shen." Yun Zhao clenched his fist and punched the ground hard, "Sima Rui, this bastard, trapped himself in a cocoon. He not only harmed us, but also harmed the people of Lucheng. In general, One day, I'm going to rip his head off."

Holding Yun Zhao's arm tightly, she seemed to have found support. The red lady put her head on Yun Zhao's strong arm and sobbed. "Yun Zhao, Uncle Shen is my only relative. Promise me." , you must rescue him."

Yun Zhao nodded silently, stretched out his hand to take the sad Red Lady into his arms, "Uncle Shen's heroic life will never fall into the hands of this bastard Sima Rui."
