Chapter 1339 Survival
Although the entire evacuation operation was not in good order, at least there was no chaotic scene. This was valuable for such an inexperienced new army to do this.
However, during the evacuation of the army at the South Gate and North Gate, they were still bitten by the Bingzhou army, which washed up on the city wall. After most of the troops evacuated, the defense of the city wall was even more useless. The Bingzhou army's siege troops quickly attacked the city top and launched a fierce battle with the Sima army's broken rear troops.
At first, only a small number of Bingzhou troops rushed to the city, but as time went by, more and more Bingzhou troops boarded the city and began to pursue the retreating Sima army, chasing them from the city to the city. The battle began to spread towards the inner city wall. The Sima army resisted step by step, retreated step by step, and there were countless corpses hidden along the way.
In terms of combat effectiveness, these new Jizhou troops could not compete with the long-standing Bingzhou army. Wherever the Bingzhou army went, they were invincible and completely swept and crushed.
Sima Jun fled in a hurry and did not dare to fight with the Bingzhou Army at all. Many people only regretted that their parents gave them two less legs, and they couldn't run fast even if they wanted to run at critical moments.
This retreat is a race against death. Those who run fast will have the chance to escape to the inner city and temporarily save their lives. Those who escape slowly will be destined to be killed by the Bingzhou army and their bodies will be gone.
Fortunately, the distance between the two inner and outer walls was relatively short, and many people ran to the inner city gate almost in one breath. At this time, the city gate had already opened, and a large number of Sima soldiers rushed into the city gate frantically.
The soldiers who fled back to the inner city were gasping for breath, but their nervous mood finally felt a little relieved.
The Sima Bing, who had not yet squeezed into the city gate, were extremely anxious, fearing that the Bingzhou army behind would suddenly come and ruthlessly kill them all.
Fortunately, the number of Bingzhou troops chasing them was limited in the end. The Sima army that fell behind was enough for them to kill. The Sima soldiers who were close to the city gate were almost in danger.
At this time, the city gate was like a huge bottleneck, and many people were crowded at the city gate, bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and crowded.
The chaos of order is the main reason for the poor flow of people. At this time, everyone in Sima was scrambling to enter the inner city and refused to give in to each other, which resulted in the result that no one could leave.
If Sima Yiqiang is in charge on the north side of the city gate, the situation will be slightly better, while only the guards are in command at the south gate. Whether it is official position or prestige in the army, it is not enough to convince the public, so there will be large-scale congestion.
At this time, most of the Sima Army personnel had evacuated to the city, and the outer wall had completely fallen into the hands of the Bingzhou Army. When the Sima Army soldiers looked back, they found that the tower at the Danan Gate had already ignited a raging fire, and the Bingzhou Army seemed to be showing off their victory.
What's worse is that after the Bingzhou army controlled the city wall, it immediately opened the city gate. More Bingzhou army did not have to climb the ladder, and rushed in from the city gate hole, and closed the killing of Sima army, who had not yet entered the inner city. The situation suddenly became chaotic.
Of course, the main purpose of the Bingzhou Army's attack was not to kill people, but to attack the gate of the inner city that had not been closed. If they could take down the gate of the inner city in one breath, they could omit the steps to attack the city and effectively reduce the number of casualties on their own side.
The guards panicked at first sight. If they could not keep the Bingzhou army out of the city gate, their efforts to retreat this time would be in vain.
Seeing that the Bingzhou army was getting closer and closer to the city gate, the guards did not care that their own people outside the city had not retreated to the city, so they ordered the city gate to be closed.
The city gate can block the impact of the Bingzhou army, but there are at least hundreds or thousands of people stranded outside the city. They cannot enter the city, so they naturally become fish on the chopping board and allowed to be slaughtered by the Bingzhou army.
In despair, the Sima army slapped the city gate desperately and squeezed hard, trying to squeeze in through the last crack in the door.
The guard was anxious. Although he had dispatched hundreds of people to push the two city gates, there were too many people outside and the resistance was very great. Hundreds of people tried their best to close the city gate.
The guard scolded angrily: "We are about to kill these things that are ignorant of life and death! Come and kill them!"
Dozens of long spears penetrated through the cracks of the door and stabbed Sima Bing who was trying hard to squeeze in. These Sima Bings never dreamed that they would encounter their own poisonous hands. After the spear was penetrated by the body, they fell down with fear and refused to rest until they died.
The Sima Army's move is understandable. When the gecko is in danger, they will cut off their tails to survive. Seeing that the situation is critical, if all the Sima soldiers outside the city gate enter the city, then the Bingzhou Army will take advantage of the situation to grab the city gate. If the city gate is still unable to close, the end of the disaster is likely to be the tens of thousands of people in the city.
However, for those Sima Army who were still stranded outside the city, the action of the guards was undoubtedly the most cruel. Once the city gate was closed, their life was cut off.
Many people pounced on the city gate and beat the heavy and cold city gate desperately, but no matter how much they wailed and prayed, it would be useless. This is a gate of life and death. Those who escaped back inside the gate can temporarily protect their lives, but those who stayed outside the city were destined to be separated by yin and yang.
The Bingzhou Army's arrows shot over and easily reaped Sima Jun's life. The Sima Jun fell down in groups without any resistance. They had become abandoned sons and were destined to escape on this cruel battlefield.
The Bingzhou Army did not try to recruit these people. After all, the storage of surrendered troops was only carried out when the overall situation was decided. At this moment, Yecheng had not yet been captured, and there was still a arduous battle waiting for them. At this time, what time did you have to recruit surrender and rebel? When encountering soldiers from the enemy ahead, whether they were resisting or fleeing, killing them in one row was the safest and most convenient way, because only dead people were the safest.
After capturing the outer city, the Bingzhou army did not stop for almost a moment. They chased the retreating Sima army tightly, launched a comprehensive offensive, and launched an attack on the inner city of Yecheng.
Wang Jun had already issued an order to all the soldiers of Changshui Camp to attack with all their might, take advantage of the situation to defeat the inner city of Yecheng in one fell swoop, and completely conquer Yecheng.
