Turbulent Times Chapter 1430: Yangshan pass broken
"The last general obeys orders." The captain surnamed Zhang hurried down to the city. The army formation was separated in the middle, leaving a way for the fleeing army to enter the city.
"General Ma, hurry up and enter the city!" Zhang Duwei, the leader of the defenders, stood among the pawns and shouted loudly at Ma Yiping, who had thrown away his armor and fled.
"Thank you Captain Zhang!" Ma Yiping cupped his hands at the captain, his face was covered with bruises, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood. It was obvious that the two knew each other well.
Four or five hundred broken soldiers stepped onto the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. At the same time, the trebuchets on the city began to roar, and the stone bullets fired by the trebuchets with a range of several miles flew towards the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army who were rushing towards them. The bull crossbow roared.
Dugu Cheng'er saw that Ma Yiping was successfully taken into the city, he was slightly relieved, clenched his fists, and muttered to himself: "King Qin An's men..."
The stone bullet was still in the air, and the cavalry of the Iron Spear Battalion of the Far Eastern Army in the distance suddenly spread out in all directions, opening a huge distance. Appearing in his hands, protecting his vitals, he still galloped forward on horseback.
"What a fast reaction speed, what a superb riding skill!" He was specially sent to this position, in fact, to prevent Wang Junlin from expanding his power from the southwest. His identity as a Dugu clan meant that he could not surrender in the face of the Far Eastern Army, so he could only fight to the death.
The effect of the first round of long-range strikes was very poor. There were as many as a thousand cavalry from the Iron Spear Battalion in the first wave of attacks, but only a dozen or so were knocked off their horses.
With a buzz, the second round of shooting started again.
At this time, Ma Yiping had already rushed into the city gate with half of the hundreds of defeated soldiers. The captain outside had already started ordering the troops to retreat slowly, preparing to enter the city gate and then close the city gate .
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Ma Yiping, who was riding on the horse, yelled violently, "Kill!" With a shake of his arm, the spear in his hand was fired, stabbing a leading officer of the defenders in the city gate to death in the chest.
Ma Yiping made a sudden attack and followed him.
The out-of-breathing rout suddenly turned into the incarnation of death, raised his wrist, and took out a fast-firing crossbow from his clothes. Once shot down, these murderous rout soldiers rushed up to **** the weapons dropped by the defenders, shouted in unison to kill, and then went inside to kill.
At the same time, outside the city gate, the other half of the rout soldiers with weapons in their hands also shouted to kill, turned around on the spot, took out a rapid-fire crossbow in their left hand, and shot at the people behind them who were originally covering them. The defenders shot out, more than 200 people, more than 200 fast crossbows with nine bursts, and a volley, and the 1,000 people who were facing them fell down four or five hundred people.
Then, one of the rout soldiers soared into the air, reaching a height of three zhang, and two flying knives flew from his hand in a whirl, with two crackling sounds, and the thick rope of the suspension bridge was cut off immediately. This person is the captain of the Special Forces of the Far East Army, and he is a master of the past.
Except for Ma Yiping, this group of defeated soldiers was all dressed up by experts from the Far Eastern Army's special forces team.
The sudden change made Zhang Duwei, who was outside the city to support Ma Yiping enter the city, stunned for a while, then reacted abruptly, and rushed up with the remaining 400 people.
The response of Dugu Chenger on the city was also not slow, when something happened suddenly in the city, he understood what was going on, and shouted: "Ma Yiping defected to the enemy, come here, kill him, take back the city gate, Zhang Wuping, You must lead people to take back the city gate and kill them, otherwise you will all die."
Dugu Chenger made a huge mistake in his haste. He shouldn't have ordered Captain Zhang, who had come out of the city to support him, to lead his troops back. But he did not expect that more than 400 people who were still alive in Zhang Wuping rushed to the city gate and blocked the city gate to death. It was difficult for the people in the doorway to turn around.
Both sides are fighting desperately. One side knows that if the city gate cannot be taken back and the enemy cavalry rushes into the city, it will be a death sentence, while the other side also knows that if the city gate cannot be defended, the opponent will close the city gate. Not to mention that all previous efforts were wasted, none of them would survive.
This kind of chaotic and desperate fighting is exactly what the special forces experts are best at, so even though they only have five hundred people, they still hold the city gate firmly.
However,
The more than 400 people led by Zhang Wuping also knew that it was time for life and death, so they all gritted their teeth and stabbed the knives in their hands forward. Line, even if there are those who are afraid of death, no one takes half a step back. They are worthy of being the elite soldiers trained by the Dugu family.
The sub-captain of the Special Forces knew that this was the critical moment to seize the city, and the two short knives in his hands danced like windmills to protect the vital points. The armor on his body is excellent, although he is injured, it is not fatal and does not affect his combat effectiveness.
"Kill!" The team leader's leopard eyes widened, and he advanced step by step, killing one person with each step.
Behind him, the cavalry of the Iron Spear Battalion rushed forward, and the galloping cavalry rushed up the suspension bridge and rushed into the city gate. The knight on the horse bumped into the crowd with his crotch horse, stopped suddenly, the horse's head broke off, and the knight on the horse flew up like clouds and fog, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the defenders below.
"Stop it, block it, kill it, kill it!" Dugu Cheng'er's eyes were red, he brandished his saber and roared loudly.
But as more and more cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army rushed up, the remaining 400 western elites led by Zhang Wuping outside the city were all killed in battle. With the sound of war drums, 20,000 infantrymen of the Iron Spear Battalion appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Dugu Cheng'er's eyes burst open, watching more and more cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army rushing into the city, he drew his knife in despair and wanted to charge down himself, several soldiers held him tightly and shouted: "General , the city gate can’t be taken back, go back to the city, go to the west gate, organize an army to fight back at the west gate, and take Yangshan Pass back.”
The east city collapsed in an instant. The cavalry rushed into the city and rushed all the way along the street. One of them rushed to the top of the city along the steps on horseback, chasing and killing the soldiers on the top of the city.
The infantry in the distance threw off their strides and came running wildly. The captain who led the team shouted: "Brothers, hurry up, or later, all the military exploits will be the special forces and cavalry. By then we will not even have Tang I can't drink anymore."
"Come on!" The infantrymen of the Iron Spear Battalion happily spread their big feet and rushed towards Yangshan Pass.
