Chapter 532 The general trend of the world is set? Another budding rival
Until the Hongnong City Gate began to slowly close, the soldiers gathered outside the city were still pushing forward. People were rushing on the suspension bridge, and the iron lock connecting the bridge head seemed to be unable to bear the load and was tightly tense, and it was impossible to say that it would burst. The Liang army general above the city head shouted loudly, and then immediately ordered, and another round of arrow rain poured over to his colleagues who were eager to rush into the city.
Arrows and crossbow arrows were scattered over the sky, and blood splashed from the crowded crowd on the suspension bridge. Soldiers fell down continuously, and the suspension bridge was finally slowly pulled up. The soldiers who were crawling on the arrows and wailing on the wailing were overturned and fell into the deep trenches outside the city.
The last group of Liang troops who rushed into the city were shocked and heard the wailing outside the sky. A large number of generals and soldiers isolated outside Hongnong City shouted loudly, begging the comrades on the top of the city to open the city gate and let them in for protection. However, some people realized that they were all regarded as abandoned children now, so they cursed sternly, and their words were not only full of resentment and hatred, but also a sense of despair.
However, Dai Siwen's expression was cold and he was still unmoved, standing above the city. Because he did give up the reason why the Liang army generals could not retreat to the city. The rumbling sounded from far to near, and it sounded more and more clear. Gao Siji, Kang Yanxiao and other Wei generals were heading to the city, and they saw that they were about to kill to Hongnong City one after another. When several military formations hit another place, they slashed and stabbed them again!
Most of the Liang army troops, isolated outside the city, suddenly scattered birds and beasts, and some soldiers immediately threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground and wailed to live.
However, the military generals and soldiers on both sides were nervous and determined to identify the words that were not comrades in front of them but the enemy. Without saying a word, they had to attack and kill them first, so as not to attack the enemy instead... Why are you still worried about whether you surrender sincerely?
The Liang army infantry that had been killed by the Wei army was almost killed by the Wei army, and almost all the swords were cut and fell directly into a pool of blood... Only those defeated soldiers who fled in the first place were hurriedly sneaked into the night sky and saved their lives by chance.
"Shoot the arrow!"
As Dai Siyuan stared and roared, another order was given, the dense rain of arrows on the top of the city shot towards the Wei cavalry that raided below to the suspension bridge. The soldiers in the cavalry formations pouring into the brigade fell off their horses one after another, and the generals of various departments called out urgent orders, and had to retreat for a distance to get rid of such a passive situation of being beaten.
Several feather arrows whistled through the wind and shot quickly. Suddenly, a long spear swung and swung, ramming all the arrows. Gao Siji's covered silver armor and white robe were stained with spots of blood. He just rode his horse to the front of the city and found that the gate of Hongnong City had been closed, and the arrows and crossbow arrows on the wall continued to pour down one after another. Many of his men under his command were in the range of the arrow rain, and they couldn't help but fall from the war horses that were frightened.
Hateful! Is it still one step late? Zhu Wen's guy is really cruel. There are still many Liang generals and soldiers outside the city, so he just abandoned them?
Gao Siji's eyes were bright and glared at the city wall. Since the gate of Hongnong City was closed, there was no chance to take advantage of the chaos to attack. The enemy troops gathered on the top of the city were on the top of the city, constantly shooting arrows and catching crossbow arrows, causing casualties to increase the casualties of the military sects, and the main cavalry troops could not carry out effective counterattacks... Although he was extremely unwilling, Gao Siji had to call again and began to command the cavalry to turn their horses to turn their horses, retreating beyond the range of the Liang army's crossbows on the top of the city.
On the side of the Wei army camp, Li Tianqu, who stood in front of the camp's tent, could vaguely see the outline of the Hongnong city wall in the night, and the large number of black shadows that were rushing like raging waves not far from the city gate, and soon retreated like a tide.
With Zhu Wen's character, he certainly would not worry about using the means of throwing away his pawns and protecting his car. He would take the opportunity to seize Hongnong. It seems that it would be difficult to succeed in one fell swoop... Moreover, Zhu Wen's desperate plan failed, so he was destined not to defend himself. Tonight, there was no need to let his subordinates attack at any cost. After all, Zhu Wen must have planned to abandon the city and lead the remaining troops, intending to retreat to Guanzhong as soon as possible...
Li Tianqu thought about it and immediately ordered:
"Mingjin recalled the military rectification teams of various military brigades, so there was no need to attack Hongnong again... Zhu Wen must lead his troops to the west, but he took advantage of the opportunity to regain the city wall and chased after him. Tonight, the soldiers of the troops were very hard, and there was no need to add unnecessary casualties..."
The noisy shouts of killing finally subsided, and corpses were buried everywhere in the fields outside Hongnong City. The blood dyed the land red. The Wei and Liang armies fought until the weak soldiers retreated and could not sleep. When the sky was a little bright the next day, they would all gather together again. After all, Zhu Wen would eventually lead the remaining troops to retreat west of Tongguan, and there would be a tough battle to fight.
Several groups of whistle cavalry sent to clean the battlefield, collect corpses, and count the injuries of each branch. The Wei army suffered more than 18,000 people, and nearly 20,000 were seriously injured. Among them, the casualties of Longxiang and Huyi Du were relatively heavy. However, the Liang State gathered its military forces at any cost to attack the camp at night, not only did it lose a large number of troops, but also included the many defeated soldiers who had not retreated to Hongnong City and fled in various places... It is estimated that nearly half of the casualties of Zhu Wen's side, and the number of military personnel who are still under his own command should be around 50,000.
In the night melee, although Liang State also broke the two generals Fu Daozhao and Zhu Hanbin, they found the remains of his younger brothers Gao Silun and Gao Sixue when Gao Sixu returned to the camp to count them and even cleaned the battlefield the next day...
After hearing the news, Li Tianqu sighed and rushed to the military camp where Gao Siji and his brothers were stationed. Gao Silun and Gao Sixue's bodies were covered with white cloth and lay quietly on the shelf. Gao Xingzhou and Gao Xinggui and the two nephews stood beside him, lowering their heads without saying a word, and they were full of grief and anger.
Gao Sixiang knelt on the corpses of his two younger brothers, gritting his teeth, and was swearing to take revenge. Li Tianqu walked to Gao Siji, sighed a long time ago, and said:
"I am very sorry for my brothers and sisters who sacrificed my life for the country. I hope that you will be mourning and obeying the changes. If the loyal and wise men of the Gao family died in the affairs of the king, I will definitely pay a lot of honors and don't let down my brothers and sisters down."
Gao Siji's eyebrows were frozen with sadness, his eyes were dull, and his face was very sad. However, when he heard Li Tianqu's words of comforting him, he reluctantly cheered up and immediately replied:
"I am a soldier and I am a soldier. I have to be appreciated by Your Majesty. I am determined to repay my kindness. I have known that the war is dangerous and I may not be able to escape without a good end... I am grateful to you because Your Majesty is compassionate, but the war is still important now. After all, Zhu Wen's thief will soon be sent to Tongguan... After all, I will take the army to retreat to Tongguan... After the confrontation with the thief in Liang, I will take care of the funeral of the two brothers..."
Li Tianqu comforted Gao Siji for a few more words, but in just a moment, Jie Qing rushed over quickly and immediately reported:
"Report to Your Majesty, the King of Jin personally led the army to attack the Liang bandits. The vanguard troops sent were only more than ten miles away from Hongnong. The vanguard general of the vanguard, and even the prince of Jin Li Cunxu, had sent a quick horse to report the report. He was about to arrive at Lianzhan and personally pay homage to Your Majesty."
Li Tianqu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately thought to himself:
Yes... and the Hedong war god Li Cunxu. Even if Zhu Wen has passed this battle, he will not be worried about the future of Liang Kingdom. However, there will be no two days and no two masters. I believe that your future ambition will be to dominate the Central Plains and strive to unify the world. Then after Zhu Wen, you will become my biggest concern... and even a more difficult enemy to deal with...
