Chapter 251 Tiger Roaring in Zhongzhou
Wang Feng, who was standing at a high place outside the city, was absolutely sure of being able to win quickly. The breaking of Luocheng was only a matter of time. Perhaps, the only thing that surprised him was that the princes' army actually broke through the North City Gate first and took the lead in front of the Qin army.
When Wang Feng was a little surprised, he felt a little alert in his heart. However, he could not underestimate the vassal army.
However, now is obviously not the time to deal with them. Since those guys are so willing to work hard, they should act as pawns. Since it is a joint battle, no matter who attacks the city first, they will have the lead.
Wang Feng immediately sent an order to urge the Qin army to strengthen its offensive. If even the princes' army entered the city first and the Qin army was still blocked outside the city, then the face would be too unreasonable. How could the title of a strong army in the world be shamed in his own hands!
The resistance at the head of Ximen City is so tenacious, there is no doubt that Ji Mo must have been in charge here. Although this brother of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very famous, Wang Feng does not think that he has any superb military command ability. The reason why he can persist for so long should be to do his best. Perhaps in the next moment, their final persistence will collapse.
However, the news of victory in the North Gate had just arrived. When the Qin army was about to climb up to the top of the city, another urgent news came, which surprised Wang Feng. He frowned and asked another question to the sergeant who came to report the message.
"What? Reinforcements came...beat the army of the princes at the North Gate?!"
"Yes, general! They are cavalry! They are amazing..."
"Where did the cavalry come from? Have you ever seen it clearly?"
"The Marquis of Zhongshan sent me to send a message hurriedly, but I have not yet figured out the identity of the cavalry!"
Wang Feng was full of doubts. However, at this time, he naturally had no time to ask more questions. He immediately ordered to send his subordinates to quickly mobilize thousands of cavalry to the North Gate to support him. At this critical moment, no one could stop his determination to break the city. However, whether he or Nie Wushuang, they never expected that they would never be able to enter Luocheng, which was only one step away, would probably never be able to enter again.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the situation reversed at a critical moment. A sudden cavalry that arrived seemed to descend from the sky and appeared on the battlefield outside Luocheng.
This cavalry unit wrapped in heavy armor was covered with dust and the flag was rolled up. It was obvious that they came from a long distance. However, even so, they could not hide the sharp edge they brought from afar. It was like a big sword that opened the mountain. After the sound of horse hooves sounded from the ground, before the chaotic army of princes could react, they rushed into the crowd, the corpses rolled and blood flowed.
Earlier, the north gate of Luocheng was broken through. It was not that the princes' army suddenly became invincible, but that the guards here were weak and they took advantage of it. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the Marquis of Zhongshan organized a suicide squad of hundreds of people with a reward of a large sum of money. They worked hard and finally attacked the city after suffering most of the casualties. Then, the city gate was forcibly broken open, and a large group of people began to pour in.
General Zidun, who hurriedly brought people to help after realizing that the situation was not good, watched more and more princes coming into the city gate, and the imperial guards could no longer stop him. He felt the blood in his chest churning, and his eyes turned black. It was over! The city gate was lost and the general situation was about to go.
Fortunately, he had not lost his mind yet. In desperation, he made a quick decision and ordered the imperial guards to retreat and close the inner city gate to defend. Now, he can only hold on for a while.
As the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luocheng has a natural scale of buildings. In addition to the outer city, it also has an inner city gate. Although the defense ability of the inner city gate is far inferior to that of the outer city, it can at least be used as a defense barrier.
Therefore, a fierce final battle between the outer city and the inner city is inevitable. However, the ending was already destined and may end with the tragic deaths of the Imperial Guards. This is a fact that most of the troops on both sides understand.
General Zi Dun glanced at the soldiers under his command, and there were heavy casualties, but there were still hundreds of people left. He was ready to commit suicide to sacrifice his country. Once the inner city gate is broken again, there will be no hope at all.
The Marquis of Zhongshan who was personally supervising the army to rush in was extremely proud and proud. Most of the people responsible for attacking the North City Gate were his men, and of course this credit should be taken into account. When he was dividing money and territory in the future, he would have to take more!
The strong north city gate was broken, how long can a small inner city gate last? Under his loud call, the soldiers around him rushed forward like hungry wolf. Everyone knew that the bustling Luocheng Street was separated by a gate. As long as you rush in and robbed first, you will definitely gain a lot.
It was at this time that the cavalry came from afar without warning. Before the thousands of troops who had time to enter the city had almost no power to resist, they were killed by cutting vegetables and melons by cutting vegetables and melons. Then, a gust of wind swept over and the cavalry entered the northern city gate.
Zidun and the remaining guards stood on the inner city, almost stunned, watched the cavalry, emitting cold air, mercilessly ruthlessly kill. On the wide ground between the inner city and the outer city, the cavalry went around, and in just a few rounds, there were only a few people who followed Zhongshan Hou to kill in.
Zhongshan Hou fell to the ground, his hands and body were sticky, which was the blood flowing from his subordinates. He felt his brain buzzing and a little confused. How could he fail in a few breaths?
Logically speaking, although the soldiers under him are not a tiger or wolf army, they also gathered the elites of the country, and they are all big men with big arms and round waists. Even if they were not prepared in advance, they would have to hold on for a while... However, in front of this team of cavalry, they were like lambs to be slaughtered, which was simply vulnerable.
The horse's hooves stopped beside him, and a huge shadow blocked the sun. The embarrassing Marquis of Zhongshan raised his head and saw the iron-armored warrior on the tall horse looking at him coldly. He trembled all over and asked.
"Who are you...you?"
The visitor did not bother to answer him. Although he saw that this guy on the ground was well dressed and might be a big shot, he still waved his long sword and was about to cut off the head of the Marquis of Zhongshan. Before the battle began, General Wang Jun, who led them, had already sent an order to kill all the enemies he encountered before the rescue of Luocheng!
"Don't do it! Say life!...I am the Marquis of Zhongshan!"
Looking at the blade that was shining with a cold light, the Marquis of Zhongshan was so scared that he was very nervous and quickly shouted loudly. After all, he was a prince who had a hundred miles of land. He was slashed in his head in an unknown way. That would be too unfair!
The cavalry vanguard held back his knife and hesitated a little. But at this moment, he heard someone ask behind him.
"What's wrong, who is this guy?"
"Report to General! What did he say... a monkey in the mountains?"
"What monkey? It's messy!"
Wang Jun, who was full of armor and his sword, glared at his subordinates for some reason. The cavalry laughed and knew that he had not heard it clearly just now, so he quickly retreated aside.
The Marquis of Zhongshan, who almost lost his life, saw the other party's general's armor and didn't care about his identity and face. He quickly struggled to sit up, threw himself in front of the horse, and shouted for forgiveness.
"General, don't kill me! I am the Marquis of Zhongshan, the prince of Zhongshan!"
All the people around him were killed, and the cavalry with the iron-blooded aura began to gather. The Zhongshan Hou looked unhappy and begged for mercy desperately. Although Wang Jun was young, he had grown up quickly by Chu Jiangmian recently. He realized that since the guy in front of him was a big man with a status, he might have any use in the future. Therefore, he immediately ordered someone to take him aside, take him into custody for the time being, and then hand it over to King Zhao to personally take over.
Wang Jun glanced at the vassal army inside and outside the north city gate had been killed. He waved his hand, and the agile knight behind him spread the banner, waving in the wind, and the big word "Zhao" could be seen clearly.
"Zhao Army! It's Zhao Army here...General! They are the cavalry of Zhao State!"
Suddenly, an excited shout broke out from the inner city. The guards were dancing excitedly. They all saw the battle flag flying majestic in the wind. Zi Dun took a deep breath, and even a man like him felt his chest hot. The Zhao army finally arrived, when the royal city was about to fall!
After a while, Zi Dun endured the pain from several wounds on his body and walked quickly to the general of the Zhao cavalry and clasped his fists as a polite manner.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work... I dare to ask where King Zhao is?"
"My king personally led the Zhao and Qi coalition forces, and was sending troops to the rescue. We were specially ordered to be the vanguard and come first to help!"
Wang Jun bowed his hand to the courtesy. Although he didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, he must be the general of the Imperial Guard.
After Chu Jiangmian left Qi State, he received news from Qianji Pavilion spies along the way. According to his judgment, Luocheng was already very critical. Therefore, he decisively issued an order to divide the eight thousand cavalry into several teams and let them come to rescue as quickly as possible. The large group of people arrived later. The team led by Wang Jun went straight to the north city gate, and it was indeed time to come.
Almost at the same time, several other cavalrymen arrived one after another and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the troops outside the city from different directions. The Qin army and the princes who besieged Luocheng were forced to stop siege and fight with the reinforcements that arrived.
