482 Attacking Xingyang 2
After hearing Xia Houshang's orders, the soldiers guarding the city on the Xingyang city wall stood up and were shot and killed by the violent bear army and snipers commanded by Guan Hai. Some of them lost their lives just now. The soldiers of Jicheng could not raise their heads at all, and they could not fight back against the big bear engineers who were about to hit the city gate.
Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall could not be lifted, nor could they attack the big bear soldiers who collided with the city gate, Xia Houshang immediately ordered his soldiers to go and block the city gate. But it was probably too late at this time. He went there temporarily to find so many stones and soil to block them.
Guan Hai's engineers carried the wooden to hit the city gate and smashed it hard. With a loud bang, the city gate shaking without any reflection. Under the command of a lieutenant, the engineers continued to use the wooden to hit the city gate repeatedly. After suffering the continuous collision, the city gate gradually loosened. After more than twenty repeated collisions, only a click was heard, and the city gate bolt was broken, and the city gate was finally knocked open.
Seeing that it was impossible to stop the Big Bear army from hitting the city gate with a wooden impact, Xia Houshang had to send soldiers to ambush the inner city gate, preparing to shoot the Big Bear soldiers entering the city, and ambush a large number of sword masters.
Guan Hai also studied in the military school in Bingzhou, and there were Taishi Ci, Ju Su and others commanding next to him, so he would make the mistake of easily entering the city.
Guan Hai ordered the soldiers of the front team of the Brutal Bear Army to use the crossbow arrows in their hands to shoot indiscriminately inside the city gate. In an instant, only the shouts in the city gate were heard constantly, and many soldiers under the ambush Xiahou Yuan were shot and killed.
After the first wave of arrow rain, Guan Hai made the soldiers of the Blast Bear Army level into the Little Liuhua Formation, like a snowball, interchanging positions and rolling forward. The Little Liuhua Formation has two shield soldiers, two crossbow archers, and two swords and gunmen. They cover each other and cooperate with each other.
The soldiers guarding the city inside the city gate thought that the Big Bear Army soldiers did not enter the city blindly, but first came a wave of arrow rain, which caused the ambushed soldiers to lose all the losses. Then the Little Liuhua Formation of the Rising Bear Army soldiers. The six of them cooperated with each other and rolled in. When the enemy was slightly far away, there would be crossbow archers to solve the problem. When there were swords and guns, the shield soldiers raised their shields to repel them. The swords and guns next to them would kill the enemy in front of them without any chance. Moreover, the shield soldiers also had a short sword in their hand, which could kill the opponent at any time.
There were only 10,000 soldiers in Xingyang City, but after being shot by Taishi Ci and Guan Hai's crossbows, thousands of them were lost. After the Big Bear Army's violent bear army successfully entered the city, Taishi Ci and Gao Lan immediately led 10,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers into the city.
Thousands of defeated soldiers in Xingyang City still had the courage to resist after seeing the Big Bear Army entering the city. Although General Xia Houshang kept shouting, the extremely chaotic soldiers would listen to him. In order to save their lives, the soldiers fled everywhere.
Taishi Ci, Gao Lan and Guan Hai were like three tigers going down the mountain. The swords and guns and swords in their hands were flying up and down, and they harvested the lives of enemy soldiers. The general Xia Houshang Lun in Xingyang City was brave and could not fight against them at all, not to mention that he encountered an elite army with strict discipline, well-trained and experienced.
Amid the loud shouts of the soldiers of the Big Bear Fire Army, the Cao army soldiers began to drop their weapons, kneel down and surrender, waiting for the Big Bear Army to accept them. This is also their best choice and the only way to save their lives. Otherwise, they will be blocked by the Big Bear Army, and even the heads fall to the ground and be a headless ghost.
Xia Houshang, the general guarding the city in Xingyang City, saw that the city was in a foregone conclusion. If he did not escape, he would probably not even have a chance to escape. He immediately took his personal soldiers to fight out a way out and ran towards the East City Gate.
Due to General Xia Houshang's escape, his soldiers also fled with the wind, and many soldiers who could not escape had to kneel down and surrender. Taishici originally wanted to ride a horse to chase and kill General Xia Houshang who was fleeing, but too many soldiers blocked the way forward, so he had to give up and let Xia Houshang go.
The battle ended too quickly, which made generals such as Taishi Ci, Ju Su, Gao Lan, Guan Hai unable to believe it. The battle was resolved in less than an hour by attacking the city. Moreover, the soldiers suffered very little losses, and only more than 500 casualties were paid, of which less than 100 were killed or seriously injured. Nearly 10,000 soldiers guarding the city were annihilated by Cao's army, only Xia Houshang and dozens of personal soldiers fled out of the city, and the rest were either killed or captured.
After the battle was cleaned up, Taishici, Gao Lan, Guan Hai and others immediately harvested the prisoners, resettled the prisoners, and sent soldiers to maintain public order in the city and stabilize the hearts of the people. Under the command of Ju Su, the internal affairs officers who followed the army immediately issued a notice to safeguard the people, opened warehouses and released grain to the people in the city, and set up a new government office in time to handle several affairs in Xingyang City.
The captured soldiers of the thousand Cao army soldiers in the near-sects should be coolies first, and build the city under the supervision of the Big Bear Army soldiers, and build a large-scale construction of Xingyang City. The city walls should be raised and thickened, defensive measures should be added, and defense capabilities should be improved. This place is also the next important place for the decisive battle with the Cao army, and will be raided or invaded by Cao Cao's army at all times. Therefore, according to the order of the General Staff, the Xingyang city should be rebuilt into a urn to resist the invasion of Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 troops.
That night, Taishi Ci, Ju Su, Gao Lan, Guan Hai and his soldiers held a grand celebration banquet in Xingyang City. The officers and soldiers drank in the sea in a warm atmosphere. Of course, the soldiers on duty should not drink and sprinkle. Moreover, during the war, the soldiers drank in moderation and would not make everyone drunk. Otherwise, if there was a situation, they would suffer a great loss. Such lessons often occur in later movies and TV. As a later generation, Lu Ning, of course, he knew the striking relationship, so there were detailed regulations in his military rules.
Xiahou Yuan was very depressed and was used as a shield. He watched the Big Bear Army successfully capture Xingyang City, and he also saw that his soldiers' abilities were not on the same level as those of the Big Bear Army. Neither military quality nor individual combat capabilities could be compared with the Big Bear Army. What's more, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Big Bear Army are far better than those of the Cao army's soldiers.
Xiahou Yuan was called by Taishi Ci to attend the celebration banquet. Xiahou Yuan didn't speak all night, but just lowered his head to drink. Taishi Ci and others also knew that they had done a bit too much today and did not dare to make Xiahou Yuan angry anymore, otherwise he would curse people when he got angry.
A few days later, Taishi Ci gave General Xiahou Yuan a inferior war horse according to Lu Ning's order, released him, and asked him to go back to Xuchang to complain to Lao Cao, and also asked Lao Cao to comfort Xiahou Yuan's hurt heart.
