It turned out that someone who had previously escaped from Pingjiang City and surrendered to General Peng informed them of the situation in Pingjiang City. Therefore, Tang Hu and General Peng also knew that Pingjiang City's defensive layout was to be strictly defensive on three sides and ineffective on one side.
As for the group of men that Tang Hu mentioned, he sent some of his elite guards, and then General Peng selected hundreds of them to quietly circle the mountain road, trying to attack from the north gate of Pingjiang, and put a high pressure on the front. Under the offensive, there is a combination of inside and outside. In this way, Pingjiang will be difficult to defend.
But traveling at night, on mountain roads and trails, naturally takes time. Therefore, Tang Hu had two plans. First, he used the human sea tactic to continuously attack without giving Li Ziyu a chance to breathe, vowing to break through Pingjiang City. Second, if these brothers lived up to their expectations and reached the north gate, of course everyone would be happy. .
…
However, this time, the city gate was broken down.
The menacing Changsha soldiers discovered that there were sandbags and stones behind the city gate at the moment they broke through it. About thirty steps away from them, behind the horses, rows of archers had already drawn their bowstrings. Behind them, the enemy troops with shields and weapons were waiting in full formation.
This is a defensive formation carefully designed by Li Ziyu. He divided more than half of the few arrows here, just for the moment when the city gate was breached.
ah……
For a time, screams of misery could be heard, and the first few Changsha soldiers were immediately shot to the ground.
This upcoming close-quarters battle is destined to be tragic.
After the Changsha soldiers broke through the city gate, they seemed to see hope, and rushed in like wolves and tigers one by one. If you fall, I will rush up. And as a group of fine cavalry came in, finally, the two armies strangled together.
And on top of the city, there was already a bloody battle.
"General Li, what's wrong, the east gate has been captured. Someone, someone stole the city gate!"
While Li Ziyu was engaged in a bloody battle, a sergeant, his face covered in blood, hurriedly ran to report to him.
"What a bastard!"
Li Ziyu cursed and chopped down an enemy soldier who was about to attack with a sword.
"General, let's go!"
The guard was anxious.
At this time, the enemy troops have already entered the city one after another, and there is also a melee below the city. Some enemy troops are attacking from below. Needless to say, they will not be able to defend it.
"I am here and the city is here. If I am dead, the city is dead!"
Li Ziyu was a little stubborn and refused to leave.
"Report to the general, north, a group of enemy troops suddenly appeared at the north gate. They have occupied the north gate and are coming this way!"
However, when the house leaked and it rained continuously all night, another sergeant came and delivered extremely bad news.
Once the north gate is breached, it means they have no way out.
But if I have to leave, where can I go?
Li Ziyu shook his head and pushed the guard away.
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
His tone was calm and his expression was calm. He held his sword and faced the increasing number of enemy troops at the top of the city.
…
"General Li, surrender!"
At midnight, Pingjiang City was destroyed. Li Ziyu was covered in blood, with his left arm hanging down, leaning on the battlements, gasping for air.
Opposite them were Tang Hu and General Peng, who looked proud.
"Hmph, how can I, Li Ziyu, be insulted by you?"
Li Ziyu responded confidently.
His left arm had been pierced by an enemy soldier, so he could only hang it on the side. The blood was tied tightly with a cloth.
"As a defeated general, it's useless to talk too much. Let me ask you, was that Taoist in the city a disciple of Hengshan?"
Tang Hu wanted to confirm Chu Yunzhi's identity, but this question was tantamount to exposing himself.
"So what? Oh, it turns out it's you!"
Li Ziyu thought of the poisonous arrow in his senior brother's hand, and looked up at Tang Hu again. He saw Guo holding a bow on his back, and he immediately understood.
