- At the city gate of Zhiguan, dozens of people crowded there, beating the city gate hard, pleading in a pitiful voice: "Have mercy on us, let us in! Let us in! We are all common people, have mercy on us!"
Listening to the cries of the people in front of the door and seeing the blood slowly seeping into the cracks of the door, Du Bocao Gan, who was in charge of the defense of the city gate, clenched his fist hard and punched the city gate hard. There are ordinary people on the opposite side. As long as you remove the door bolt, you can let them into the city. Anyway, the Huns are still far away from here. If we close the door in time, we can always save some people. .
Cao Gan glanced out from the crack in the door and saw rolling stones and wooden logs being thrown down from the top of the city, hitting the Huns who were supervising the battle. However, the accuracy of the defenders was limited after all, and many innocent civilians were smashed until blood spurted from their mouths and fell to the ground dead!
Seeing those emaciated people lying in a pool of blood, Cao Gan couldn't bear it anymore. He said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate and let them in!"
Hearing Cao Gan¡¯s order, the soldiers hesitated. A chief said loudly: "Boss, the general said, you can't open the door without an order!"
Cao Gan said angrily: "Then we just watch innocent people fall here?! The Huns' large army is still far away. As long as we close the door in time, they won't be able to rush in! Open the door and I will bear all the responsibilities. !¡±
Since the immediate boss said so, no one can offer any other opinions. Besides, everyone couldn't bear to see the innocent people lying in a pool of blood.
Several impatient soldiers rushed to the door, and while removing the bluestone blocking the door, they loudly said to the people at the city gate: "Put down your weapons, let's open the city! Be honest, if anyone has evil intentions, our swords will not recognize anyone!" "
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, the people quickly dropped their wooden sticks and all rushed towards the city gate. The people nearby also noticed the abnormality and all followed him.
With a creaking sound, the city gate was pushed open a small crack, and Cao Gan shouted loudly: "Line up in a line, come in quickly, come in quickly!"
Seeing that a way out appeared in front of them, the people ignored Cao Gan's orders and everyone crowded in. The small gap that was opened suddenly widened, and most of the city gates were pushed open by the people. .
The soldiers of Cao's army roared loudly, pushed hard, and beat with sheathed weapons, but it didn't work at all.
More and more people came here, and the dozen or so soldiers who wanted to stop him at the city gate were pushed to the ground, trampled under their feet, and they lost their voices without even letting out a few groans!
Cao Gan was shocked and shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!"
But how could dozens of soldiers resist the pushing of hundreds of people? Everyone tried their best to move closer to the city gate, but the people were still pushed to both sides of the city gate.
Cao Gan shouted loudly, pushed hard, and then looked at the dagger stuck in his chest in shock, and looked desperately at a Huns disguised as common people sneering at him! This time I was really self-defeating, doing bad things with good intentions
Cao Ang, Cao Ren and others all heard the noise coming from the city gate. Cao Ang couldn't help but frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who is in charge of the city gate?"
Cao Ren quickly replied: "It's Cao Gan, your third cousin. This man is good at martial arts and very warm-hearted It's bad. He must have an excessive sense of justice, so he opened the city gate and let him go! My lord, I will let him go now." Go down to the city"
Before Cao Ren could finish speaking, Cao Ang had already given a loud order: "Xia Houyuan, cover the area near the city gate and block enemy reinforcements! Li Dian, lead 500 infantry to stop them and order all the people to squat down with their heads held in their hands. Anyone who disrespects them will do so." Give orders and kill those who run wantonly on the spot! Liao Hua, aren't there a barricade built near the city gate? You immediately lead a thousand men to guard there and cooperate with Li Dian to stabilize the situation. Le Jin, you lead three hundred cavalry to prepare for a counterattack charge!"
The generals loudly received their orders and quickly went down to the city to attack. Cao Ren couldn't bear it and said in a low voice: "My lord, Cao Gan's martial arts is pretty good"
Cao Ang's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Cao Ren, fighting is not about treating guests to dinner or welcoming guests. Opening the city gate without permission is a death penalty. If you employ people inappropriately, you should wait for a review after the war! I will leave the city to you. Well, I will personally lead the people to the city gate to supervise the battle!"
Before Cao Ren could answer, Cao Ang had already strode towards the city. At this moment, dozens of horns were sounded at the same time, and the Huns finally launched a general attack!
Although due to the terrain, only two to three thousand Huns participated in the front-line battle, the pressure they brought to the city was incomparable!
Seeing that they could not rush forward, many Huns took out their bows and arrows from a distance and kept shooting at the city wall. Thousands of people bent their bows and fired at the same time.The soldiers simply could not stand upright to fight.
For the Han people, playing with bows and arrows is just a skill; but for the Huns, failing to hit their prey means starvation and death!
Cao Ren, who was hiding behind the crenellated wall, watched as a long arrow rushed in from the crenel opening and nailed his guard's chest. And then another long arrow rushed over, nailed the tail of the previous long arrow, and stunned it into two halves!
Cao Ren didn't know whether it was a coincidence or whether the level of the other side's vulture shooters was too high. He only knew that the archers under Xia Houyuan had been completely suppressed by the Huns, and Xia Houyuan, who had been calmly counterattacking, had to hide behind the battlements and was unable to fight back. !
More and more Huns rushed to the city wall, stepping on the corpses of the people and rushing upward; some even put the lasso in their hands on the battlements, grabbed the rope and kept climbing up. Under the full cover of the archers, Huns continued to board the city of Zhiguan!
Seeing that the situation was improving, he went to Beichong, bowed to Huchuquan, and said loudly: "King Zuoxian, the last general has left!"
Hu Chuquan nodded, "You have some good ideas, are those occupying the city gate your personal guards? You are like a fox, let them mix among the Han people and rush over, okay!"
Receiving Huchuquan's praise, Qubei smiled proudly, slapped his horse and rushed forward. The remaining guards quickly followed and rushed towards the gate of Zhiguan.
Hu Chuquan looked at his back, smiled coldly, and shouted loudly: "Archer, shoot with all your strength!"
Zhiguan is the checkpoint on the border between Zhi County and Hedong County. When it was built, the situation of the city gate being lost was taken into consideration. Just behind the city gate opening, there are not houses, but a long street composed of the back walls of warehouses.
The people who were lucky enough to rush into the city wanted to run to the streets and alleys to find a hidden place to hide themselves, but facing this long street, they could only rush further along the street.
By this time, Li Dian had already led people to the street and shouted: "Move forward with your shield up!"
After hearing his order, the five hundred soldiers immediately blocked the wooden shields in their hands in front of them, raised their long knives, and slapped the shields hard! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although there were many people who rushed in and grabbed some weapons from the soldiers, they couldn't help but feel a little timid looking at the soldiers of Cao's army who were waiting for them. They were unorganized.
At this time, someone shouted loudly in the crowd: "Don't be afraid, they won't do anything! We can just rush over"
Before he could finish his words, a long arrow hit his throat!
Li Dian let go of the long bow in his hand and shouted loudly: "Drop your weapon, hold your head and squat down! If there is resistance, shoot to death!"
Five hundred soldiers shouted together: "Drop your weapons, squat down with your head in your hands; if you resist, shoot and kill!"
Under the shock of the soldiers, the common people rushing in front dropped their weapons one after another and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. There were only a dozen Huns pretending to be ordinary people, standing out among the crowd.
Li Dian shouted loudly: "Charge!"
The soldiers in the front row raised their weapons and rushed towards these people. The soldiers behind him did not act rashly, but continued to maintain a tight formation.
The Huns shouted in despair, but did not surrender. Instead, they rushed forward and fought with Cao's soldiers.
Li Dian shouted loudly: "Attack forward, two prisoners and one prisoner, tied up tightly!"
After hearing his order, the soldiers immediately walked forward steadily, pushed the common people they encountered to the ground, and tied their hands tightly with hemp ropes. At this critical moment, it would not be too much to kill all the people. The Huns rushed into the city to massacre them!
From time to time, Huns who were mixed among the people were discovered by the soldiers and fought with them. However, there were too few of them, and they were quickly chopped to death by Cao Jun's soldiers!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard, overwhelming the shouts of killing from above and below the city. Someone shouted: "Huns' cavalry!"
Li Dian quickly shouted: "Form up and prepare for a collision!"
When they heard the Huns' cavalry rushing over, the people were shocked, but there was no obstruction on the empty long street. Except for some clever guys who pressed their bodies against both sides of the long street, the rest of the people were shocked. The people below subconsciously rushed forward. In particular, there were many Chinese Huns in the team who were constantly provoking. The people ignored Cao Jun's orders and rushed towards Cao Jun's main formation.
Li Dian shouted loudly: "The archers are on the wall to block the shooting! The swordsmen and shielders are ready to charge!"
After hearing his order, the archers quickly climbed up to the warehouses on both sides of the long street, stood on the roof and started shooting.??. Although there are no fortifications here, the view is wide, which makes it a good position.
At this time, the Huns also began to charge. They pressed their bodies tightly against the horses' backs and roared angrily: "t¨¢mad¨¢s!"
The common people who stood in the way of their charge were either trampled by horses' hooves and seriously injured, or their lives were conveniently taken away by the charging Huns. Even if the Huns mixed in the crowd were careful, they could only fall on the way to the charge of their companions!
"boom!"
The forward of the Huns collided with the soldiers of Cao Army fiercely. The forward of the Huns was almost wiped out, and all the soldiers of Cao Army who were blocking the front were knocked away by their horses. Their bones were broken, their tendons were broken, and their blood was splashed everywhere! - Didn't finish reading?
