After discovering that the Luochuan Road Granary had been lost, Zhao Lianggao was extremely anxious. He immediately gathered troops from surrounding prefectures and counties, plus his own troops, enough to gather 8,000 people to surround the Luochuan Road Granary. Regardless of casualties, he worked frantically day and night. The purpose of attacking is to make up for the mistake and take back the Luochuan Road granary.
Seeing that the Zhou army suffered more than half casualties, but its morale was still high, Zhao Lianggao, who was originally confident in retaking the granary, couldn't help but sigh secretly, and his confidence was inevitably shaken...
Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Lianggao waved his hand, and the generals surrounding him immediately deployed separately according to the plan, preparing to attack the city.
Not long after, in the Gongdu army formation under the granary city of Luochuan Road, under the control of hundreds of soldiers, several catapults roared, and huge rocks one after another were thrown towards the city wall.
Then hundreds of archers also fired their bows towards the city wall, shooting murderous arrows one after another.
Under the cover of firepower from their colleagues, thousands of palace soldiers used the most conventional and old-fashioned siege tactics, carrying shields and ladders like ants, and launched a new attack on the walls of the granary of Luochuan Road. A round of impact.
"ah!"
"Whoosh"
A young palace soldier was hit in the arm by an arrow fired from the city. The shield in his hand immediately fell to the ground. Without the shield, a sharp arrow soon hit him in the abdomen, hitting him directly. Nailed to the ground.
The palace soldier was lying on the ground, spitting out black and red blood foam from his mouth. He opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to wail a few times, but no sound came out. After a moment, his head tilted, completely No sound.
The death of this young Gongdu soldier did not cause any ripples in the Gongdu military formation. Similar situations appeared in every corner of the battlefield. People paid their lives every second. At this moment, human lives were like It's so worthless and extremely cheap.
Because in the previous battle, the gunpowder used to fire the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Three-Eyed Gun had been exhausted, so facing the charge of the palace soldiers this time, the firearms equipped by Wang Kangxin were basically the same as scrap metal. Undoubtedly, the only option was to pick up the crossbow again and shoot towards the city.
In addition, part of the granary buildings in the city were quickly demolished, and they were made into rolling stones and thrown down. The palace soldiers who smashed them cried for their fathers and mothers. A few of the two or three hundred palace soldiers lost their lives again, but unfortunately, There are too many people in Gongdu.
Although Wang Kangxin's troops had tried their best, more and more palace soldiers still rushed onto the city wall. Just as the city was being destroyed right in front of them, Wang Kangxin was determined to lead the way. While the remaining troops were fighting in the streets, a huge military flag suddenly fluttered from the north.
Although it is a bit far away and cannot be seen very clearly, if you look carefully, you can still vaguely see the vigorous and powerful character "zhou" on the military flag.
"My lord, reinforcements from the Zhou army are coming!"
Seeing the appearance of the Great Zhou army flag, the soldiers in the imperial palace suddenly became panicked. A general beside Zhao Lianggao quickly reported:
Hearing the reminder from his subordinates, Zhao Lianggao, who was riding on his horse, immediately looked to the north and looked at the military flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The old man, who was over fifty years old, started to tremble all over. The next second, he staggered and almost fell down. Immediately fell to the ground.
"Withdraw! Withdraw to Linyuan!"
With the help of the generals, Zhao Lianggao managed to sit firmly on the horse again. At this critical moment of life and death, the experienced veteran made a quick choice after a moment's thought and took the lead in escaping toward the southwest.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The three-foot-long rhinoceros horn made a low sound. This was the order for the Gongdu army to pull its legs. In an instant, the Gongdu soldiers who were about to capture the Luochuan Road granary immediately withdrew like a tide.
"Hahahahaha!"
Wang Kangxin, covered in blood and with multiple wounds on his body, stood on the top of the city with the already mutilated Wild Goose Wing Sword in his hand. He couldn't help laughing wildly as he looked at the embarrassment of the Gongdu troops fleeing in panic below the city.
Just now on the city wall, he and his soldiers were surrounded by soldiers from the palace. If the reinforcements from outside the city had not appeared in time, I am afraid that Wang Kangxin would have sacrificed his life for the country and died in the palace. All fell under the knife of others.
At this moment, Wang Kangxin felt that there was nothing more satisfying in the world than surviving a desperate situation.
Soon Wang Kangxin gathered the remaining troops in the city, opened the city gate and met the large group of Zhou army cavalry rushing from outside the city for reinforcements.
Although Wang Kangxin worked in the Xuanwu Army and was not familiar with the cavalry army, he saw this group of cavalry with a "xiang" on the flag.
He immediately recognized the people who came to help. They were General Yingyang, the fifth rank of the cavalry army, who was Xiang Yuanhui's troops. He immediately reported to the generals who were surrounded in the middle of the military formation.
"Wang Kangxin, the humble Xuanwu Army king, has met General Xiang. Thank you General for saving your life today!"
Hearing this, the rugged Xiang Yuanhui, who was riding on a tall horse, looked Wang Kangxin up and down, and asked with some surprise: "Are you Wang Kangxin? Wang Zhongsen's nephew?"
"Reporting back to the general, he is the last general!"
Wang Kangxin nodded and responded. He was a little confused about how the famous cavalry general in front of him knew about his uncle.
He glanced at Wang Kangxin again, smiled and praised Yuan Hui:
"Mr. Xu's men are really talented. You, a seventh-grade commander, dare to lead your troops to attack the Luochuan Road granary. Not bad! You are very courageous!"
Hearing this, Wang Kang's confidence grew warm. However, just when he was about to say a few words of humility, Xiang Yuanhui changed his voice and said, "Most of your Xuanwu Army is still behind. Are you willing to come with me to support me?" Liu Jing, I heard that Ye Mingsheng of your Xuanwu Army was fighting very hard there!"
When Wang Kangxin heard this, he was immediately stunned, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, and he didn't understand what to say to Yuan Hui.
Seeing Wang Kangxin like this, Xiang Yuanhui continued to ask with some suspicion: "Didn't you plan it? You attacked the Luochuan Road granary to contain his troops. Ye Mingsheng took advantage of the chaos to raise troops from Ruishan County and fight with an army. A warrior named Black Mountain Feng unites to attack Ryugyong?”
Before Xiang Yuanhui finished speaking, Wang Kangxin suddenly understood. His pale face immediately turned an abnormal flush, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent and hatred.
The next second, under Xiang Yuanhui's puzzled gaze, Wang Kangxin froze on the spot and became furious. A stream of blood poured out of his mouth, and he swayed and fell straight to the ground.
