The person who led the attack on the Hu family's second house was Qing Ji. He was the number one expert in the Jaw Palace, so Xia Chengxuan asked him to take the lead and everyone had nothing to say.
Duke Li's Mansion, Earl of Pingchang's Mansion and Prince Jha's Mansion are only separated by four streets, and the distance is only fifteen or six miles. The military officials and retainers of each government, all of whom are in good health, will arrive in fifteen or six miles and three quarters of an hour.
"Xue Xiaoman, you take 350 people to attack Duke Li's Mansion. The remaining 450 people will follow me into the Earl's Mansion of Pingchang! Remember, we are here to capture people, not to Kill and injure the enemy!" Qing Ji whispered to the bearded man.
A man named Xue Xiaoman is the master of Zhao Qingfeng's grandson-in-law. He started working as a martial arts coach in Zhao Mansion fourteen years ago and his martial arts skills are very high. Before leaving the Zhao Mansion to go to Prince Jaw's Mansion, Zhao Qingfeng said to him, "The order of Crown Prince Jaw is equivalent to my order, so you must do your best." After listening to Qing Ji's arrangement, he nodded and turned from the crowd. Three hundred and fifty people were separated from the crowd and quietly approached the Duke Li's mansion.
"I will go in first and open the door in a moment, and you guys rush in quickly. If the people in the house are awakened, don't fight with them on the outside. Try to rush to the inner garden, capture Hu Xiu'an's family members, and then meet in the open area. But Do you understand?" Qingji whispered to several leaders of the house.
Although the twenty-seven prefectures gather together in one place, they are not familiar with each other after all, so the leaders of each prefecture still lead their own people. The eight leaders behind him listened and nodded to indicate they understood.
After everything was arranged, Qingji took the lead, took a few quick steps and jumped into the Earl of Pingchang's mansion. The four soldiers on duty at the main gate were drowsy when they saw a man suddenly jump in. They didn't know what happened, but they were hacked to death by Qing Ji with several knives, without even being able to utter a single sentence.
"Squeak~~~" The door opened from inside.
Seeing this, four hundred and fifty people rushed in...
... ...
Du Chong was originally a general who led troops in battles, but he left the army and became a soldier of the Xia Mu Dynasty only after he was injured in the waist and abdomen and suffered a hidden illness. Over the past ten years, he has turned to practicing internal martial arts and has made great progress. Although he is not as good as Yaozhu and Qingji, he is on the same level as Qiongqi and Taotie. He has not only led troops, but also served as a steward of the palace, and his martial arts skills are not weak. He is the most suitable candidate for the first general to attack the city pass.
"Kill~~~Kill~~~"
Du Chong roared and charged forward with five hundred cavalrymen. Behind him, more than 2,300 people followed and shouted, and the sound was loud.
"Where did so many people come from?" When the guards at the city gate saw this battle, they became timid before fighting. Of course, they were under strict orders to guard the city gates. Once the city gates were broken open by them, none of them, including thousands of men, hundreds of men, bank commanders, and corps commanders, would be able to escape. At this time, we had to grit our teeth to meet the enemy.
"Ming Jin as a warning! Set up roadblocks and prepare to attack from a distance!" the guard said hurriedly to the messenger next to him.
When two armies fight, the brave one may not win.
When Hu Xiu'an deployed his defenses, he naturally thought that someone would attack the city gate, so he had already built fortifications in advance. The first one was the big stone ball.
The front and back of the city gate are slightly "convex" shaped, with the defenders at the top and Du Chong and others at the bottom. Hu Xiu'an took advantage of this advantageous location and prepared more than a hundred stone balls with a diameter of more than four feet. At this time, they were released from the fence and rolled towards Du Chong.
Although the diameter of the stone ball is only more than four feet wide, each one weighs three hundred kilograms. Although the slope is small, the stone ball does not roll very fast, but four or five waves come in succession. It is difficult for the horses to avoid them all. More than a hundred horses were knocked to the ground. The remaining horses finally got out of the stone ball formation, and another shower of arrows flew towards them. In an instant, there were hundreds of casualties.
Fortunately, all the arrows in the internal defense were half-drawn bows. Although many people were injured, not many were killed. However, the offensive was frustrated and morale was no longer the upper hand.
"This battle can only be successful, never defeated." Thinking of the young master's words before leaving, Du Chong dared not hold back at all. He picked up the Dapu knife and rushed forward, fighting with the oncoming defenders.
In terms of individual combat strength, the group of people behind Du Chong were naturally much better. However, firstly, they ran for nearly thirty miles and started fighting without even taking a break; secondly, the defenders of the city made a formation of rolling stones and arrows. The rain shower not only killed and injured hundreds of people, but also blocked their offensive and curbed their morale; the third defender of the city had various weapons, with spears in front and sabers in the back, and there were more than 60 people with crossbows beside them. The hand-plundering formation; all four ways, the defenders of the city were all from the Jinweixi camp, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, and they could often help and save each other.
For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.
There were thousands of people fighting in the city, and the screams could not be heard for more than a few hundred feet. Outside the city, there was a huge melee involving more than 100,000 people, and the shouts of killing could be heard for miles.
Originally, Xia Jingyu thought of dividing his troops into two groups. Xu Dingping led 25,000 men to block Ma Dushan's 60,000-plus troops stationed in the capital, while he led 15,000 men to rush straight to the city gate and then surround Prince Yun's mansion. Not wanting this plan to be seen through by Ma Dushan, the garrison troops moved around and blocked the way for the white-clad army to enter the city.
One party had to enter the city, and the other refused to let go. Nearly 110,000 people fought fiercely outside the city gate.
"Xu Dingping, I will lead my men right in. You lead your men to contain the enemy forces on both sides. You must not let them cut off my team! Crazy Xu, your brother has made a name for himself in Suzhou, you and him Mom, you have to show your skills today and let the world see that you are the boss of the Xu family, much better than that crazy Xu in Suzhou!" Xia Jingyu shouted at a rough man.
The two brothers of the Xu family both studied at the Dushi Jiangwu Hall, and one of them studied under Duan Fuzi. They were famous military general brothers in the Dahua Military Camp. In the battle of Suzhou, Xu Ding'an led his troops out of the city to face eight times the enemy without defeat. His reputation for bravery had already spread throughout the world. On the contrary, he, the elder brother, has never been put to use, and his reputation is much inferior to that of his younger brother.
"Deputy Marshal, please don't provoke me. I, Xu Dingping, will escort you into the city today even if I risk my life!" Xu Dingping laughed and said, "I'll leave it to you to handle matters in the city!" After saying that, Dancing the spirit snake halberd, the leader of the army separated from Xia Jingyu.
"Xu Hanshan!" After his troops were separated, Xu Dingping began to mobilize his troops and generals to perform cover duties.
"Yes!" A young man whose description was very similar to his responded loudly.
Xu Dingping thundered and shouted: "The deputy commander will lead his troops into the enemy's camp in a moment. You will lead 13,000 people to resist the left wing. You must not allow an enemy soldier to invade the deputy commander's camp!"
"Yes, father! The last general takes command!" Xu Hanshan replied solemnly. He is a member of the White Army, but it is his first time to lead an army in actual combat. Although he is not timid, he is still a little flustered. His father entrusted him with such an important task, and he was really frightened.
"Go!" Xu Dingping wanted to say a few words, but in the end he only said these two words.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xia Jingyu led his elite troops straight into the enemy formation, instantly opening a gap. The combat power of the white-clothed army was far superior to that of the other armies stationed in the area. They had not lost the slightest when they were four against six. At this time, as soon as the cavalry charged forward, their advantage became even more obvious, and they were simply overwhelming.
"Kill~~~!"
"Kill~~~!"
Xu Dingping and Xu Hanshan appeared on both sides of the gap in time, blocking the capital garrison who tried to encircle the city.
... ...
It is already the second quarter of Yinshi, which is the quietest time of the day. One hundred and ten thousand people fought hand to hand outside the city, and the sound was so loud that it could already be heard in the city. After fighting for more than half an hour, nearly half of Du Chong's more than 2,800 men were killed or injured. Seeing that the city gate was a hundred feet away but could not be entered, I became increasingly anxious.
"How come the people from South Camp haven't arrived yet?" The thousands of people guarding the city roared. Du Chong was anxious, and he was even more anxious. Zhijin Wei's Nan camp was only ten miles away from here. He had just lit the beacon, and it was impossible for the Nan camp not to see it. However, seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, but they were delayed in coming to reinforce him, he remembered that his heart felt like it was in his throat.
At this moment, a group of five or six hundred black riders rushed over.
Du Chong then avoided his opponent's gap and glanced back. He was immediately ecstatic and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived!" People with salt gangs will help them attack the city gates.
Originally, the two armies were fighting fiercely and were in a stalemate. When Du Chong's men heard that reinforcements had arrived, they felt as if they had taken a magical medicine, and their morale instantly rose.
"Where are the people from South Camp? Has anyone gone to report the news?" the city guard asked sternly.
A golden guard rushed to his side and replied in a miserable voice: "I've gone to report it. They were intercepted on the way here, and I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get there!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was pierced by two short blades. Throat.
Everyone knows that the weapons commonly used by the Nine Palaces are the Netherworld Ghost Hand and the Soul Hook, but few people know that they also often have another short-term weapon - the Ziwu Blade.
When it comes to killing people, Jiu Dian is invincible.
The martial arts of Qin Changsheng, Han Bieku and others may not be higher than those of Qingji and Taotie, but when it comes to killing people, the five Taotie can't compare to one Yuan Changsheng. Jiudian's martial arts are all murderous martial arts.
"Mr. Du, let's deal with these people on the outside. You lead people to open the city gate." Yuan Changsheng chuckled. Jiudian has made a living by killing people. Although Qian Changsheng is not good at killing, he sincerely likes the feeling of killing people. Being able to kill people so happily makes him feel faintly happy in his heart.
Du Chong was secretly frightened when he saw that this unattractive old man could almost kill the enemy with one move and every move was fatal. Hearing what he said, he was not surprised and overjoyed. He smiled and said, "That's the best!" Yan Bi shouted, "Follow me." "Come", leading Hua Fang, Ying Sheng and others to rush forward.
... ...
At the second quarter of Yinshi, Hu Xiu'an led more than 20,000 people from Dongda camp and drove for more than 30 miles, finally approaching Prince Jaw's Mansion.
"Prince Jaw's Mansion is one mile away, line up and prepare for battle!" Hu Xiu'an whispered to the messenger beside him.
Before he could finish his words, a hail of arrows wrapped in oilcloth strips were fired in all directions. The people from Jiudian had already set up sentries in the streets and alleys near Jaw Prince's Mansion. They saw them from a distance and reported in advance to the soldiers from various mansions guarding the alleys in front of Jaw Prince's Mansion.
"Deploy a hedgehog formation!" Hu Xiu'an was startled by the sudden arrow attack, but luckily he calmed down in time and ordered loudly.
