Chapter 283 Breaking through Xiling City
Just when Zhu Wei led the army to attract Huang Zu's attention at the south gate of Xiling City, Pang Yan and Tai Shici arrived at the water gate of Xiling City with ten light ships and a large number of river boats carrying troops.
Of course, Huang Zu couldn't ignore such a big commotion at Water Gate, so Huang Zu sent his son Huang Sheshuai with [-] soldiers and [-] young men to support the defense at Water Gate.
In this way, plus the original [-] soldiers on the water gate side, there are [-] soldiers guarding here.
In fact, when Zhu Wei attacked Qiantang County earlier, he also said that attacking the water gate in this year is not as easy as attacking the land city gate, so normally speaking, Huang Sheshuai's 6000 defenders are on the water gate side, which is enough Stop the more than [-] soldiers led by Pang Yan and Tai Shici.
But Zhu Wei hid a big killer here, so Pang Yan and Tai Shici first sailed close to the city wall of the water gate, and used their abundant crossbowmen and archers to suppress the soldiers of Huangzu on the city wall of the water gate, so that they could not approach the city wall of the water gate On the side, Zhu Wei's ships were blocked from approaching.
Afterwards, Pang Tong and Tai Shici gradually cleared away all kinds of water obstacles and underwater stakes arranged in front of Xilingcheng Water Gate, and opened a channel for the fleet to approach the Water Gate.
Then, a small boat made of thick wood, like a house-cave cart, drove through the opened channel to the gate gate of the water gate, and put the prepared gunpowder bamboo tubes in the gap between the gate gates.
In this way, as the gunpowder bamboo tube exploded, the water gate of Xiling City was opened.
At the same time, I don't know if there are too many gunpowder bamboo tubes, or the city wall is already loose on the side of the water gate of Xiling City. The gate tower of the water gate of the city.
This blow not only directly killed and wounded hundreds of Huang Zu's officers and soldiers on the city gate tower, Huang Zu's son Huang She, who was originally commanding the battle on the city gate tower here, was also directly knocked out and fell into the Shuimen River. Since then, he lost his trace, and it is very likely that he drowned in the river after being stunned, or was buried in the ruins.
As a result, the water gate lost its commanding officer. Although there was a water gate urn surrounded by wooden fences on the water, none of Huang Zu's soldiers dared to continue to block the attack of Pang Yan and Tai Shici.
As Pang Yan and Tai Shici led their troops through the water gate, the crossbowmen and archers below them shot crossbow arrows and feather arrows at the remaining city wall, completely dispelling Huang Zu's soldiers on the water gate side. .
Then Pang Yan and Tai Shici blasted the wooden fence with gunpowder arrows shot from bed ballistas, completely opening the water channel leading to the interior of Xiling City. He directly entered Xiling City.
Among them, Pang Yan led nearly ten thousand soldiers to kill in Xiling City, taking the opportunity to seize important areas such as the treasury and military camp of Xiling City, while Tai Shici led six thousand crossbowmen to kill on the city wall of Shuimen, along the They rushed towards the south gate of Xiling City along the city wall, preparing to meet Zhu Wei's army to capture the south gate of Xiling City.
Of course, at this moment, the defeated soldiers on the Shuimen side of Xiling County also fled in all directions, and some people inevitably fled to Huangzu's side at the South Gate to report the news.
Previously, there was an earth-shattering sound coming from the direction of the water gate of Xiling City. Although Huang Zu was a little doubtful and surprised, he didn't know what happened after all. Now he heard that the water gate was struck by some kind of thunder, which caused the earth dragon to turn over, the city gate opened, and even the gate tower Everything collapsed, Zhu Wei's army had already entered the city, etc. Huang Zu finally became panicked.
At this moment, Huang Zu's troops were basically scattered around the gates of the city, and the reserve troops in the city were only two thousand soldiers and two thousand young men. Zhu Weibing and horses who entered the city.
So when Huang Zu saw Zhu Wei's army attacking on the city wall in the direction of the water gate, it was almost irresistible. After thinking about it, he no longer had the intention to continue guarding the south gate.
Huang Zu immediately sent people to send messages to the North Gate and West Gate, asking the city defenders there to continue guarding the city gates, leaving Huang Zu with a way out of Xiling City.
Huang Zu himself left two thousand young men at the south gate to continue to defend the city, and then hurried back to the city with five thousand soldiers and three thousand young men, hoping to block Zhu Wei's troops from charging into the city. Then look for an opportunity to collect some money, food and property and withdraw from Xiling City.
But in this way, Huang Zu actually gave up guarding the south gate.
The young and strong Xiling City, which was left by Huang Zu to defend the city at the south gate, had no intention of fighting hard at all, especially when Tai Shici led his troops to rush over from the city wall, and in front of him was a formation of crossbow arrows shot by a thousand crossbowmen. , followed by the rain of feather arrows thrown by five thousand archers, and the two thousand young and strong here quickly dispersed.
Then Tai Shici directly opened the south gate, lowered the suspension bridge, and Zhu Wei led the army into Xiling City. This time Xiling City was captured from the bottom.
At this time, Huang Zu, who had returned to the city, was also facing off against the [-] troops led by Pang Yan. Pang Yan had [-] crossbowmen forming a terrifying crossbow array. How could Huang Zu, who came in a hurry, be able to resist it? of.
Huang Zu's soldiers, who were originally chaotic because of the city's destruction, were shot by crossbow arrows before they could get close to Pang Yan's soldiers and horses. After a while, they could only gather the remaining 2000 soldiers and flee directly to the west gate.
So when Zhu Wei led the army into Xiling City, Huang Zu had already led the defenders on the Ximen side, a total of [-] to [-] remnants escaped from the Ximen, and continued to retreat towards Xi'an Lu.
But after Pang Yan and Huang Zu's main force met for a while, they also remembered the strategy arranged by Wang Yuyan before the battle, and did not continue to care about the situation in Xiling City, and followed Huang Zu to the west gate of Xiling City.
Therefore, the troops in Xiling City were left to Zhu Wei and Tai Shici to finish the work.
Of course, through the game map of the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Wei can clearly know the changes in the entire battle situation. At this moment, he arranged for Tai Shici to continue to lead troops along the city wall to attack Huang Zu's [-] remnants at the north gate, and then let Mu Lan, Zhang Shuo and Chen respectively took two thousand, one thousand and one thousand crossbowmen from Zhu Wei's side to clear up and arrest Huang Zu's remnant soldiers in Xiling City.
In the end, Zhu Wei himself took three thousand Baiyuying guards and went to the treasury and military camp in Xiling City to receive various supplies.
On the way there, Zhu Wei also issued a temporary military martial law order and a strict prohibition against disturbing the people. While strictly prohibiting the people in Xiling City from leaving their homes, he also strictly ordered his own soldiers not to enter the homes of the people easily, even if there are remnants of soldiers fleeing. To enter the people's homes, you need the people to call for help to enter, otherwise you will not be able to enter, and it is better to let these remnant soldiers temporarily hide in the people's homes.
This is also to enforce military discipline and prevent looting from happening. In addition, it is also to reduce the counterattack of the big families in Xiling City when they are looted by rebellious soldiers, so that Zhu Wei can calm down the chaos in Xiling City as soon as possible.
At the same time, since Zhu Wei discovered that Huang Zu had escaped through the west gate, he sent people to notify Gan Ning and Su Fei who were ambushing outside the north gate, asking them to outflank Huang Zu from north to west because he might have escaped. path……
