Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 459 Lushun Attack and Defense 7
While the surviving soldiers from Wang Zhiwu's department pleaded bitterly, the south gate finally opened slowly. Shang Keyi rushed out first, and shouted sharply: "Wang Zhiwu, what did you do? The more you live, the more you go back. Jiannu will kill you as soon as you charge." I broke you down, let's see how you explain to Huang Shuai!"

Wang Zhiwu trembled and said: "What General Shang taught me is that... Jiannu is so cunning and fierce, beyond my expectation. This negligence will be a big loss. I hope General Shang will see it in the face of the past. Say something kind to me in front of Shuai!"

Shang Keyi yelled, threw his spear, and nailed a Houjin soldier to the ground. He drew out his horizontal knife and said sharply: "You have really embarrassed our Dongjiang army. Hurry up and go to the city, don't stay here!" a shame!"

Wang Zhiwu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, go to the city, go to the city." In a few words, all [-] elite soldiers of Shang Keyi's troops rushed out of the south gate, and met the Houjin warriors who were raging.Shang Keyi is a fierce general that Huanglong values ​​quite a lot. Among his [-] elite soldiers, [-] are wearing steel helmets and breastplates, holding long spears or horizontal knives, and a dogleg knife on his thigh. The Heluo new army configuration, there are two hundred also wearing leather armor, this configuration can be called luxurious in the Dongjiang Army.This elite soldier was very brave, stabbing with long spears and slashing horizontally with knives, knocking down more than [-] Houjin soldiers one after another.When the Jin army saw this, they gave up the defeated Wang Zhiwu's remnants who were still fleeing desperately, and rushed up to fight with Shang Keyi. To escape Huanglong's military punishment depends on his character.

After Wang Zhiwu retreated into the city gate, the officer guarding the city gate called: "Close the city gate!"

Wang Zhiwu was stunned for a moment and shouted: "We can't close the city gate. General Shang is fighting Jian Nu outside. If we close the city gate, they will have no way out!"

The officer said: "If the city gate is not closed, the slaves will take the opportunity to rush in, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Wang Zhiwu walked towards him and shouted: "Don't close the door! General Shang saved my life. I can't just watch him be alone and helpless, and finally be killed by Jian Nu! I will take over this city gate!"

The officer called: "Vice General Wang, this is inappropriate..."

A knife flashed, and the cold blade cut open his esophagus, trachea and aorta, and blood spurted out.The officer opened his mouth wide, took a step back, stared at Wang Zhiwu with bulging eyes, his throat rattled, and his face was full of disbelief.Wang Zhiwu grinned grimly and cut off his head again, and shouted at the servants, "What are you waiting for? Do it!" The servants couldn't hold back long ago, and before he finished speaking, the gang of desperadoes rushed Shouting wildly: "Jiannu is rushing into the city! Jiannu is rushing into the city!" Wielding a long knife, he rushed at his colleagues who had been dumbfounded. Fall in clumps.The soldiers who were not cut down were all stunned, and suddenly let out a wild howl from their chests: "Wang Zhiwu is a traitor! Wang Zhiwu is a traitor!" This roar was not so much panic and fear, but more pain and anger.Yes, the Dongjiang Army has experienced too many betrayals. Every Dongjiang soldier who is still struggling in southern Liaoning has already been scarred deep in his heart. No one wants to think about it, but he will never forget it.After Yang Menglong took over Denglai, the supply of food, salaries and military equipment of the Dongjiang Army was unprecedentedly sufficient, and the morale, which had been extremely low, began to revive. Everyone radiated fighting spirit, thinking that from now on, they could unite as one, fight Jiannu to the end, and never again Someone betrayed them, but...

At this juncture of the life and death of the Dongjiang Army, when the Liaodong Han people were fighting bloody battles for their last foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula, they saw the most painful scene for every Dongjiang soldier. A prestigious lieutenant general He betrayed them in full view of the public and used a knife to attack his own people to cut down the city gate for Jiannu!

"Wang Zhiwu is a traitor!"

The desperate roar made the whole Lushun seem to become dead silent, and then a huge cry was made: "Wang Zhiwu is a traitor!"

The breathless cry made Wang Zhiwu's complexion slightly changed, and his waist slightly bent.After all, betraying a good brother who has lived and died together for many years, he must accept the torture of conscience. This kind of inner torture cannot be compensated by the reward he received from Houjin.He subconsciously looked out of the city, facing Shang Keyi's furious eyes, this fierce general with all his beard and hair splayed, looking like a raging lion, was intimidating and made him take a few steps back.Two short but extremely strong servants beside him smiled and said in blunt Chinese: "Master Wang, at this point, do you still want to turn around?"Shang Keyi was already in disarray at this time, and narrowly dodged one arrow, but another arrow hit his chest, pierced his breastplate, and passed through his chest. He yelled and fell off the horse.There was another exclamation from above and below the city, and the group of rebels yelled: "Defeated, defeated!" They slashed and killed Ming soldiers who hadn't reacted, like cutting leeks, and Shang Keyi's subordinates were also in chaos. A few recruits raised Shang Keyi with their shields and retreated toward the south gate. They were immediately stopped by Wang Zhiwu's servants. Afterwards, golden and golden drums blared, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes overwhelmed the sound of the guns, and the ground shook like a drum beating crazily It goes on and on, and I don't know that tens of millions of people are coming towards this side-the south gate has been opened, and Hou Jin has invested the main force without hesitation, and Lushun is doomed.The current situation is that Wang Zhiwu's rebels killed the Ming army guarding the city gate and blocked Shang Keyi's retreat. After desperately attacking Shang Keyi's department, trying to rush into the city before the Ming army could react, and end this brutal offensive and defensive battle, the situation was beyond chaotic.

Huang Long stood blankly on the city wall as if struck by lightning, his body trembling slightly.Unfortunately, Li Yan's words came true. There was indeed something wrong with Wang Zhiwu. His trust was exchanged for ruthless betrayal. His beloved general was shot down by an arrow and his life or death was uncertain. The south gate of Lushun was in danger. All of this was caused by him!The Hou Jin army surged in like a tide. The sound of artillery made the sky rumble. The sharp arrows were as dense as locusts, almost covering the sky. The dust raised by the horses' hooves artificially created a sandstorm. Lushun seemed to be trapped in the stormy waves. A small boat is in danger of being smashed to pieces at any time.And all of this was so blurry in his eyes, his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and blood was rushing to the top of his head, almost bursting the blood vessels.Li Weiluan, Mao Yongjun, Huang Yulang and others all knelt in front of him and said something anxiously, but he couldn't hear a word. All he heard was the painful screams that made him breathless: "Wang Zhiwu" He is a traitor! Wang Zhiwu is a traitor!"

Li Weiluan called: "My lord, Jiannu launched a general attack, what should we do? You are talking!"

Mao Yongjun's pupils were filled with blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "My lord, let me kill that ungrateful villain!"

Huang Yulang shouted: "Uncle, Jiannu rushed up with the ladder, you should make up your mind!"

The last sentence finally made Huang Long recover a little bit of reason.He looked down the city, and saw the gold-encrusted red flag and the blue flag sweeping in like a tide. The fortress built by the Ming army outside the city was full of flames. Wang Zhiwu's rebellion was a fatal blow to the Ming army. The decisive battle had just begun. They were already in disarray.Houjin rushed into a camp as if no one was around, set up a ladder, and a string of Houjin soldiers climbed up like ants. The Ming army on the city wall was also in a mess, forgetting to attack those Houjin soldiers.He laughed miserably, and said hoarsely: "Huang is sorry for these thousands of Dongjiang sons!"

Mao Yongjun said loudly: "Huang Shuai, we haven't lost yet, don't give up on yourself! Even if we lose, we will still bite off a few pieces of meat from Jiannu!"

Huang Long tried his best to straighten his back and said sternly: "Yulang, General Mao Shen, you lead people to the south gate immediately and fight Jiannu back!"

Mao Yongjun and Huang Yulang cupped their hands, and each led their cronies to the south gate that had turned into a crater.

Huang Long helped Li Weiluan up and said, "You go and guard the west gate, and we will fight here to the end!"

Without saying a word, Li Weiluan drew out his long knife and strode towards the west gate along the city wall. When he encountered a panicked soldier, he slashed at the back of his knife and shouted sharply: "Why are you panicking? Jiannu hasn't charged up yet. Why are you panicking? There is nothing to be afraid of if they rush up, just do it with them! Don’t forget your brothers and sisters, how did your parents and grandparents die!” Instead, the soldier who was hacked by him calmed down and began to hide Behind the arrow stack, he pulled out the crossbow and let the arrows go down.Hou Jin Dajun also noticed this very conspicuous target, sharp arrows chased him and shot, Li Weiluan just focused on charging, sharp arrows slashed around him, unexpectedly none of the arrows could hit him.

Although the current situation of the Ming army is bad, it is far from hopeless. The defense systems of the east gate, west gate, and north gate are still intact. Eat down these lines of defense.The key lies in the south gate. Due to Wang Zhiwu's rebellion, the south gate was opened, and the soldiers of the Houjin Dynasty were rushing in. If the south gate could not be recaptured, the Ming army would undoubtedly be defeated.The Ming army knew this very well, Hou Jin knew this very well, even Wang Zhiwu, a bad embryo who had no bottom line, knew it very well. Jia Ding, who was in charge of Jia Ding, blocked Shang Keyi's subordinates while attacking the Ming army who came to retake the city gate. Straight to bloody.Those servants around Wang Zhiwu are all excellent fighters, all of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are even more ruthless. There are even a lot of post-golden and white armored soldiers mixed in, who are extremely fierce. Killed and fled in all directions.A post-golden and white-armored soldier crashed into the middle of dozens of soldiers, and swung a big ax with a whoosh sound. When the big ax fell, flesh and blood flew everywhere, killing more than ten people in a row, and the Ming army turned around and ran away in fright.The white-armored soldier laughed loudly: "Minggou is still so vulnerable——"

call out! ! !
A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, causing severe eardrum pain. A crossbow bolt pierced through the air at such a high speed that the flames rolling at the south gate were stirred apart.The wild laughter of the white-armored soldier stopped abruptly, and the crossbow bolt accurately shot into the joint between his helmet and breastplate, and penetrated his neck.The white-armored soldier swayed, clutching his bleeding wound, and looked in the direction of the crossbow with difficulty. He saw thirty steps away, and at some point there were more than [-] more enemies in black helmets and armor, with poor equipment. Like the Ming army, each of them held a crossbow half as tall as a man and shot at them angrily.There was also a woman in leather armor among the group. She was tall, with long legs and slender waist.The powerful crossbows in the hands of this group of people shoot at a frighteningly fast speed. They didn’t see them loading the arrows at all. After shooting an arrow, they rewinded, then aimed, and pulled the trigger. The military department has already suffered a lot of casualties.Of course, this white-armored soldier didn't know these guys with black helmets and black armor, but he recognized the deadly crossbow. He hissed and screamed: "Yang Menglong!!!" It's a pity that the trachea has been shot through, and he can't make a sound at all .He raised his big axe and rushed towards the baby-faced leader. Immediately, a crossbow arrow shot him in the forehead, and he fell down with a bang, as if he had knocked down an iron tower.

This small group of troops is the personal soldiers led by Yang Menglong himself. They each have a formation-breaking crossbow and shoot at the rebels who are showing off their might.The crossbow is equipped with a quiver, which contains five arrows, and a spring is pressed under it. After shooting one, the second one is automatically pushed into the arrow groove, which saves the step of loading arrows, which is very convenient. With the pulley block, more than half of the effort is saved when stepping on the strings, and the rate of fire is naturally greatly accelerated. A skilled archer can shoot five arrows in one minute, and the firepower is extremely dense.Due to the addition of a pulley block, it is very convenient to step on the string and the crossbow maker can safely strengthen the strength of the bow arm and increase the pulling force, making the range of this powerful crossbow reach an astonishing 1 steps, a total of 350 meters, for a single As far as cold weapons are concerned, it is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying range.This is the first time that the array-breaking crossbow showed its power on the battlefield. Fifteen soldiers were divided into two teams and fired in turn. No matter whether it was Wang Zhiwu's servants or the latter's golden and white armored soldiers, they all fell down in response to the arrows. It is vulnerable to the crossbow arrows shot from a distance.When the arrows in their quiver ran out, more than half of Wang Zhiwu's more than 520 servants lay down, and the rest were pale, terrified, and at a loss.

There was no chance to load arrows, because as soon as the rain of arrows stopped, several surviving gold and white armor soldiers rushed over screaming desperately.Yang Menglong was the first to throw away the formation-breaking crossbow, drew out the horizontal knife, and shouted: "Kill! Don't leave a single one behind!" He slammed into those white-armored soldiers viciously, and Hong Niangzi brandished two knives, and stopped two white-armored soldiers in front of him.Without hesitation, the soldiers abandoned their crossbows and drew their knives and charged at the rebels, killing them. Blood was scattered in the corridors of the city gate where the dead bodies were already lying on their pillows. However, it was the rebels who were unlucky this time. It's over.

Wang Zhiwu pushed down a corpse in front of him, with cold sweat on his forehead, and murmured: "Where did this group of people come from, to be so fierce?" Obviously, he did not know Yang Menglong at all.

It doesn't matter that he doesn't know Yang Menglong, as long as Yang Menglong knows him, this idiot discovered Wang Zhiwu while fighting with the white-armored soldiers. He gritted his teeth and said: "What I hate most is traitors like you, Wang Zhiwu, you are dead!" "
