Chapter 323 Brutal Battle(2/3)

Two or three thousand people have been lost now. If we stop now, the two or three thousand people in front will be lost in vain. Wu Yi is not willing to accept it. He does not want his soldiers to die in vain. He wants them to

A worthy death.

The second group of 5,000 siege troops had just rushed out. Wu Yi once again urged the crossbowmen and shouted: "Keep shooting, don't stop, shoot all the crossbow arrows into Hongnong City."

After this attack, the Han army's crossbow arrow consumption was actually very large.

After all, there are thousands of feather arrows at one time. Although they brought enough crossbow arrows this time, if they continue to shoot like this, it will not take long before they are all used up.

But Wu Yi can't be stingy.

Wang Ling at the top of the city became more and more anxious. Although he had repelled several attacks by the Han army, the Wei army at the top of the city also suffered heavy losses.

What's even worse is that he still has more than 20,000 people in Hongnong City, but these people are blocked by the Han army's crossbows and the streets that are now on fire. The soldiers in the city can't get close to the city wall at all, let alone

Go to the city to replenish troops.

Two thousand people.

That's right, the total number of Wei troops in the city now is less than 2,000.

However, although the Han army's siege troops had been shot and killed, killing and wounding two or three thousand people, they could not stop the steady flow of reinforcements behind them.

"Cum!"

"Cum!"

Wang Ling kept urging. He hoped that they could hold off for longer. It was best to hold on until the Han army's crossbows were exhausted.

After all, the Han army fired so endlessly that their crossbows consumed a lot of arrows.

Persistence——

Persevere and persevere.

However, when the Han army attacked the city, in addition to trying to climb through the ladder, there were also soldiers attacking the city gate. They rushed to the city gate and kept hitting the city gate with rams.

Bang, bang, bang!

There were crisp sounds, making the city gate bang.

Although there were constant arrows and rolling logs and rocks above the city gate to greet them, at this time, they were all red-eyed, and they still had to worry about life and death.

This Han army was also desperate for their lives. Those who hit the door in front were shot or smashed to death, and a group of others who were desperate for their lives would rush in behind them.

As time went by, the decline of the Wei army became more and more obvious.

No way.

Although the losses of the Han army who attacked the city were much greater than those of the Wei army, they could not stop the Han army from replenishing its troops. If one wave died, a new wave would rush over.

After fighting fiercely for half a day, at dusk, the sky became darker and darker, but the Han army's attack showed no intention of stopping. On the contrary, the Hongnong City was ablaze at this moment.

Especially in the neighborhood near the West Gate, countless houses were burned down, and the fire had already begun to spread to the east. Even if the Han army stopped firing their crossbows, the Wei army in the city could not pass through the scorching flames.

In fact, the city was already in chaos. In order to prevent the people from being damaged, the officers and soldiers in the inner city began to evacuate the people from the east gate not long after the fire burned.

Most of the people have left Hongnong City, and naturally some soldiers have also escaped with the people.

Hongnong City was burned down by fire. They didn't need to think about it. They definitely couldn't defend the city.

It’s ten minutes after dark.

A roar exploded in the night sky.

Boom——

Bang, bang!

There was a burst of thunder, and Wang Ling looked up to the sky angrily and shouted: "God, your reaction is so slow, so slow."

Thunder exploded, and soon heavy rain poured down.

But at this time, there were only a few hundred Wei troops left at the top of the city.

At the same time, the Han army continued to climb to the top of the city, and the city gate was also knocked open.

"Kill!"

"Go!"

Wu Yi was immediately overjoyed. As he galloped on his horse, he thanked God: "God has opened his eyes, God has opened his eyes, hahaha, kill me, kill me, fight in."

The city gate was breached, and there was a heavy downpour, but the morale of the Han army soldiers was greatly shaken at this moment. On the other hand, Wang Ling on the top of the city was on the verge of tears and was extremely anxious.

At this moment, he was fighting to the death with the few hundred remaining soldiers and the Han army who had climbed to the top of the city.

After a while, nearly 20,000 Han troops had entered Hongnong City. Wang Ling at the top of the city resisted tenaciously, but in the end he died in the chaos because he was outnumbered.

The Han army entered the inner city, but it did not mean that Hongnong City was occupied by the Han army, and the battle was over.

It’s not over yet——

Because Wu Yi used rockets to burn the city during the day, a large number of Wei troops were blocked in the east of the city.

It was raining heavily at this moment, and the fire in Xicheng was gradually extinguished by the rain.

Some of the Wei troops who were still in the east city saw that the fire was extinguished by the rain. Without thinking, they rushed towards the west city. They thought that the prefect was still insisting.

Just——

As soon as the Wei army in the east city rushed to the west city, they met the Han army who rushed into Hongnong City.

"Kill!"

Wu Yi shouted loudly and commanded the Han army to rush forward.

When the Wei army saw that the Han army had already charged in, they naturally knew that the city had been breached. They didn't think too much and rushed towards the Han army.

In an instant, the two armies were fighting to the death in the rainy night.

Because the West City was burned to a great extent by fire, and there were ruins everywhere, it became a good battlefield at this moment.

In the dark, no one in the two armies could clearly see who was coming. Anyway, they would rush towards anyone they encountered.

Not long after, in the west city of Hongnong City, the sound of clashing weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the wails after being hacked with swords resounded throughout the night sky.

However, because some of the Wei army had already fled Hongnong City with the people.

So at this time, there were actually not many Wei troops in Hongnong City. They totaled less than 10,000 people, but they were extremely powerful in combat.

Perhaps they wanted to avenge the governor who died in battle, or maybe it was because the Han army burned the city with rockets during the day, which inspired their endless bloodshed.

"Don't let a Han army go!"

"Kill me!"

In an alley, a 100-man Wei army squad, led by a small colonel, hid in the alley. When they saw Han soldiers approaching, they swarmed up and immediately waited on them with swords and fists.

The heavy rain did not stop until late at night.

However, the street fighting in Hongnong City is still continuing.

At first, the Wei army fought on a large scale, but because the Han army was numerically superior, they defeated several large attacks. The remaining small groups of Wei troops hid in alleys and street houses, waiting for those who were alone.

Han Army.

It was not until dawn that the street fighting in Hongnong gradually subsided.

Prefect's Mansion.

Wu Yi paced back and forth in the room nervously. He had fought many battles, but this battle was the most difficult one he fought.

"Report!"

"General!" A junior high school officer quickly ran into the hall of the prefect's mansion and said hurriedly: "A large number of Wei troops appeared in the west of the city."

Wu Yi was suddenly startled and asked: "Who will lead the army?"

"I don't know!" said the small school principal: "It's so dark and full of people, it's less than five miles away from the city."

Hongnong City has just been breached, did Cao Wei react so quickly?

Wu Yi was a little panicked, and hurriedly rushed out of the prefect's mansion, riding his horse to the west gate.

Standing at the head of the West City Gate, Wu Yi looked at the dark crowd outside the city and was a little nervous. However, since it was not bright yet, he could not see clearly how many people there were. Anyway, he could vaguely see a lot of people.

.

"Close the city gates tightly and don't let anyone in."

Although the street fighting in the city has gradually subsided, Wu Yi knows very well that there are still many Wei troops hiding in the city. They are just hiding because they are watching the daybreak.

Wu Yi is waiting for dawn now.

He doesn't know how many people there are in the Han army now.

When they entered the city, there were close to 20,000 people, but it's hard to say how many are left now, because the Han army suffered a lot of losses in this night's street fighting.

But one thing is certain, that is, there are no common people in Hongnong City now.

There are currently about 3,000 Han troops on duty at the east city gate. Wu Yi is sitting quietly at the top of the city. He does not know how many Wei troops are coming outside, let alone who is leading the army from Cao Wei.
