The two armies of soldiers and horses were assembled and fought their way out of the city from the east and west gates.

Wan Jun and Zhang Wuyang climbed to the highest point of the west gate and paid close attention to the movements of the Shunjun camp in the south. Soon the two armies fought together outside the west gate.

Wanjun saw from a distance that several horses rushed into the Shunjun camp to spread the alarm. Many people and horses poured out of Shunjun's three camps and began to assemble in front of the camp.

The distance from the south gate to the west gate, even if the Shun army reaches it at the fastest speed, is enough for two groups of troops to clear the battlefield.

Wan Jun secretly estimated the time for reinforcements to arrive in his mind! Suddenly, a group of cavalry emerged from the outside of the mound a few miles away. Regardless of the retreating Shun Army siege troops, they rushed straight towards the west gate.

Seeing this change, Wan Jun secretly thought something bad, so the Shun army pressed all the cavalry up, charging at full speed with great speed.

Zhang Wuyang stood up in a hurry, "Oh no, the thieves used cavalry to rush through the door, and it was too late to recall Li Wenlong's men!"

If the city gate were closed at this time, Li Wenlong's two battalions of troops would be completely trapped outside the city. Under the siege of thousands of troops outside the city, there would be absolutely no chance of survival!

Li Wenlong, who was in the distance, heard the rumble of horse hooves and discovered what had happened on the Ximen side. He began to organize his troops, fight and retreat, and move towards the Ximen.

Wan Jun said to Zhang Wuyang, "Don't close the city gate. Quickly organize the troops in the city to fight along the city gate. You must wait until Li Wenlong comes back!"

Zhang Wuyang took the order and rushed down to the city gate, and the several battalions he had prepared were urgently transferred to the west gate.

"Go quickly and send an order to Battalion Commander Chang Jian, tell him that Ximen is in danger, and ask him not to be reluctant to fight, but to quickly return to the city to reinforce Ximen!"

Zhang Wuyang sent a messenger, then drew his sword and personally led people to set up roadblocks behind the city gate!

"Everyone, stay here with me. We must not lose the city gate!"

The rumble of horse hoofs shook the sky, and the four hundred cavalrymen of the Shun Army rushed towards the open doorway of the west gate like arrows.

The cavalry general was overjoyed. At this distance, it was impossible to close the city gate.

"Brothers, follow me and fight in. This city belongs to us!"

The knights shouted and rushed in through the door, but soon, the cavalry general's heart felt cold. There were only a few hundred people behind the door, at least a thousand, all lined up with spears and waiting.

On!

"Kill!" The two armies met, thundering, and there was no time to hesitate. The impact of the cavalry was in speed. Of course, the cavalry officer knew his advantage. He raised his saber and let his mount charge forward.

Li Qingyan saw the cavalry battalion rushing into the city gate, with a strange smile on his face. As long as the cavalry battalion held back at the city gate for a while, our army could follow them in, seize the west gate, and wipe out the bandits with just one hand.

between.

This group of bandits is quite strange. I will torture them after I defeat them. Li Qingyan turned around and shouted to the soldiers and horses, "The cavalry battalion has already entered the city. The generals obey the order and rush in towards the city gate at full speed. If it is too late,

All the money and women have been robbed!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Shun Army immediately boosted their low morale and rushed towards the city gate together!

Zhang Wuyang led his men and horses to guard behind the city gate. When he saw the cavalry rushing in, he loudly ordered, "Every team should not disperse. Team officers should watch the soldiers of their own team and do not act alone. The Chinese army will never retreat!"

"The Chinese army will never retreat!"

Some veterans shouted, and the area behind the city gate, which was only two feet away, instantly turned into a bloody field of Shura!

The cavalry that rushed in jumped over the roadblock and bumped into the Chinese soldiers lined up in front. The two soldiers were killed.

The impact caused him to fly back half a meter, and several rows of soldiers behind him were knocked to the ground.

The soldier who was hit head-on had his entire chest and ribs dented, blood overflowed from his mouth, and he could see no breath left.

The cavalry was still filing in. Due to the roadblocks and the spear array of Chinese soldiers, the speed of the cavalry in front of the city gate slowed down. Many soldiers and horses quickly gathered behind it, and the incoming cavalry had to start to slow down their impact speed.

Tan Lang's soldiers used their spears from the flanks to pick off several cavalrymen who had lost speed.

The cavalry general became more and more panicked. Facing the cavalry charge, these bandits dared to line up to meet the enemy. Even though dozens of people in front were killed by the knights, the soldiers behind them did not collapse!

Wan Jun rushed down from the city wall and suddenly discovered a very dangerous problem. He hurriedly called Zhang Wuyang and explained a few words in a low voice.

Zhang Wuyang went to the back, stopped several groups of Chinese soldiers blocking the middle of the street, and slowly retreated into the city to make room for the cavalry rushing into the city.

The soldiers of the Shun Army who were blocked and fighting at the gate of the city were suddenly in the midst of a bloody battle when the pressure on their front was greatly reduced.

The cavalry officers of the Shun Army soon discovered that the enemy soldiers in front of them began to retreat, and they felt overjoyed.

"Retreat! The bandits are retreating. Come with me and rush in. The prefect is coming in!"

The cavalry vanguard in front quickly accelerated their horses and rushed to the big stone archway in front of the county government office.

Here again, the Chinese army's array was immovable, and the cavalry had to slow down. Without the impact speed, five or six more people were immediately dismounted by the spear array!

The rest of the men and horses tried their best to block the spears with their sabers, but they couldn't stop ten of them, and the cavalry that rushed over quickly could no longer resist them.

Fighting at close range, riding on a horse, using a saber against more than a dozen spears, they are simply targets. Many obedient soldiers jumped off their horses to fight on foot!

After charging for a while, the cavalry general turned around and found that there were not many soldiers and horses following him. In the streets of the city, there was no impact speed. A saber versus a dozen spears, it was simply getting beaten.

share!

The cavalry general looked back at the city gate and suddenly realized the purpose of Magistrate Li sending him to rush into the city gate. He quickly shouted, "Everyone follow me and retreat, guard the city gate. Don't let the thieves close the city gate."

!”

Wan Jun sneered, "I just realized it now, don't you think it's too late!"

He turned around and ordered loudly, "Tin Lang, organize a defense for me here and cut off the retreat of all enemy troops entering the city. Don't let anyone enter the doorway!"

Tan Lang responded loudly, rushed to the front, and cut off the horses of the few remaining knights near the door!

Li Wenlong had already led his people to retreat not far from the city gate. Wan Jun shouted loudly, "Li Wenlong, don't be so slow. Run forward for me. Sprint back for me!"

The general of the Shunjun cavalry led the remaining cavalry and began to rush towards the city gate at a high speed. Fortunately, the road was full of corpses of soldiers who died in battle, and there were many ownerless horses standing there. The Shunjun cavalry could not increase their speed.

When the cavalry arrived at the city gate, Tan Lang rushed up with several battalions of soldiers guarding the gate and fought with the Shun army.

Li Wenlong's two battalions of troops retreated and poured into the city gate.

At this moment, Li Qingyan's army came over and the situation reached its most critical moment.

The few archers on the city wall gathered at the west gate and fired arrows, trying to delay the attack of the Shun army, but it was already too late.

Li Wenlong's troops marched out of the west gate and now retreated to the city gate.

The soldier's physical strength is close to the limit and he has no fighting ability.

Tan Lang realized the crisis and shouted loudly, "Brothers from the first company, follow me!"

Soon, Tan Lang led a company of one hundred people out of the west gate from both sides and went to Li Wenlong's flank to resist the Shun army.

The soldiers who pressed forward crazily from the Shun army were blocked in front of the line of a hundred or ten people.

No matter how stormy the Shun army was, Qin Lang's front remained unmoved!

However, facing the fierce attack of thousands of troops, the strength of a hundred or ten people was too weak, and they fell one after another.

Tan Lang looked back and shouted at Li Wenlong, "Hurry up and get me in, I won't be able to hold it anymore!"

With a "dang" sound, Tan Lang held up a chopped long knife and spat, his mouth already full of blood.

Tan Lang tilted the saber in his hand to one side, taking off the offensive of the Shun army in front of him. He drew the saber and turned around, stabbing out suddenly. The Shun Jun on the opposite side was stabbed in the abdomen, and he suddenly fell to the ground, losing his fighting strength.

Finally, all the troops under Li Wenlong entered the west gate, and Li Wenlong shouted, "Quickly retreat!"

However, Tan Lang could not escape at this time, and only the last few dozen people were still fighting.

"It's too late!"

Tan Lang cursed, and a spear was stabbed from the left side of his body. There was no way to avoid it, and Tan Lang was stunned.

Immediately, two more long knives were struck on the body, and the Shun army had already crossed over and rushed towards the city gate.

"Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly!"

Finally, the gate to the West City closed with a bang, and the last Chinese soldier outside the city gate fell.

Inside the city gate, the last hope of the Shunjun cavalry general also disappeared.

The general of the Shun Army cavalry took out the short sword he carried with him and turned around to look around. Of the four hundred cavalry, there were less than a hundred left. Some knights had begun to throw away their weapons and surrender to the Chinese soldiers beside them.

The Shun Army cavalry general sighed, turned the blade of the knife, and stabbed his own throat. Finally, he felt a salty smell on his tongue. This bloody smell stayed with him for several years. He once thought that if the emperor established Dashun, he would be able to do so in the future.

Enjoying peace, he didn't expect to taste it again so soon, only this time it was his own!

With a "pop" sound, the body of the cavalry general fell to the ground. The Shunjun cavalry collapsed completely, throwing away their weapons and kneeling on the ground!

Zhang Wuyang was left to lead his troops to clean up the battlefield in the city, and the army climbed back to the west gate!

Li Qingyan, who was outside the city, knew that his defeat was certain, and he felt resentful in his heart, "You useless cavalry officer, you can't even hold on for a while. If there were just a few more minutes, my team would have been able to rush into the city!"

Seeing that the west city gate was closed, the Shun army immediately lost their fighting spirit. After some were killed by the rolling stones on the city gate, the Shun army began to falter. In desperation, Li Qingyan could only start to gather his soldiers and withdraw from the battlefield.

First, the soldiers and horses surrounding the city at the east and west gates were killed, and then the entire cavalry team was annihilated. Now that the Shun army's strength was greatly reduced, it was impossible to capture Lucheng County.

There was no point in returning to the camp in the south of Lucheng County. Li Qingyan led his army to retreat fifteen miles to the west and set up camp. He had no intention of attacking Lucheng County anymore!

After this battle, the morale of the Chinese troops in the city became even stronger, and they all shouted "Victory!"

Wan Jun breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was really thrilling. If the cavalry battalion blocked the door and only defended but did not rush, when the Shun Army troops followed, I am afraid that the city would not be able to defend it!
Chapter completed!
