Chapter 509
"Surrender, we surrender!"
The Jizhou soldiers completely lost confidence in escaping, and quickly knelt on the ground and threw away their weapons.
They were afraid that the Tanghai soldiers would take off the huge crossbows behind them and use them as live targets.
Someone took the lead and knelt on the ground, and then others followed.
Groups of Jizhou soldiers surrendered.
The Jizhou soldiers who had not yet squeezed out of the back door of the camp no longer had any illusions and all knelt on the ground.
They did not dare to move.
They had just experienced how far the Tanghai cavalry's range was.
Even if they ran away, they could not escape the range of the crossbows.
They still had to face the threat of death.
Liu Yu rode on a white horse and shouted: "Jizhou captives, listen to my order!"
"Tear down the back door of the camp immediately and make way for Tang Hai's cavalry."
"Those who work hard will be exempted from guilt."
"If anyone is reported for slacking off, other people nearby will be punished as well."
"Behead them all."
"Start now, tear it down!"
After hearing the order, the Jizhou captives were still frozen in place, but saw Tang Hai's cavalry pointing huge crossbows at them.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, the captives rushed to the back door of the camp.
Everyone worked together to tear down the camp gate and fences, trying their best to widen the passage.
In a short time, the originally narrow camp gate was widened a lot.
"Keep going!" Under Liu Yu's order, the generals led the cavalry to advance towards Jicheng.
The Jizhou captives just breathed a sigh of relief and thought about running away secretly.
But Tang Hai's rear team had arrived.
Xiahou Dun led some cavalry and entered the camp first to collect the captives.
After the separation, they were reorganized into groups.
Tang Hai was very quick in this regard.
Zhuge Liang arrived with the Shenji Camp and crossed the camp towards Jicheng.
The Jizhou captives squatted in the camp with their hands behind their heads.
Watching the Shenji Camp pass by.
They were terrified by the unknown weapons.
Some old soldiers with a little knowledge recognized that it was a thunderbolt chariot used for siege.
It was very powerful!
However, they did not recognize other weapons.
The number of Tang Hai's soldiers was completely inconsistent with the thousands of elite soldiers circulated in Jizhou.
Just now, there were 10,000 elite crossbow cavalry.
Then there were the soldiers who took over them.
Now there are these soldiers carrying heavy weapons.
Add up to more than 20,000.
How did Tanghai train so many elite soldiers?
Moreover, Tanghai must have left some soldiers to defend the city, right?
With this calculation, the total number of soldiers in Tanghai was unbelievable to the Jizhou captives.
Even if they were to take 2 out of 10, they would not be able to reach this number.
More importantly, Tanghai is located in a bitter and cold place, and the land is sparsely populated.
Where did so many people come from?
Where did the food for these soldiers come from?
The bottomless eating ability of Tanghai's soldiers is no longer a secret among the various princes' armies.
The Jizhou captives couldn't figure out Tanghai's current situation.
Liu Yu led the cavalry to gallop in the wilderness.
He ignored the fleeing soldiers along the way and just dispersed them.
Xiahou Dun will do those things later. The most important thing for them now is to rush to Jicheng immediately to prevent Jicheng from being captured by Jizhou soldiers.
The Youzhou army had been almost exhausted, and this was the best opportunity for him to enter Youzhou.
…
Jicheng.
On the city wall, Liu Yu leaned on his sword and barely stood up.
He was panting heavily, and his limbs were shaking.
In the fierce battle, his physical strength was greatly consumed.
With only a breath left, he could barely stand.
Looking around.
More than half of his personal soldiers had been killed.
There were still a few people protecting him.
Many Youzhou soldiers died on the city wall.
Although many Jizhou soldiers were killed, their losses were greater.
Although the Jizhou army retreated temporarily.
But Liu Yu knew it very well.
The other side just returned to the camp to regroup.
After lunch, the afternoon battle will be more intense.
The number of Jizhou soldiers is there.
The degree of eliteness is also there.
The Youzhou army is obviously not a match.
Liu Yu's heart had fallen to the bottom.
Everyone on the city wall was silent.
Not only because of the excessive physical exhaustion.
They also knew that the situation was very unfavorable for Jicheng.
After recovering a little strength, Liu Yu dragged his tired body to arrange meals for the soldiers.
However, the city wall was still dead silent.
In the afternoon, the battle continued.
Yan Liang pointed the sword in his hand at the city wall, "The defenders in the city are about to collapse!"
"As long as we attack again, the enemy will surely be defeated like a mountain collapsing.!"
"Charge! !"
As his military order was issued, the soldiers of Jizhou rushed forward.
They all knew that the defenders of Jicheng were already shaky.
As long as the city was breached, it would be their time for revelry.
The commander would certainly turn a blind eye.
Let them plunder.
The soldiers of Jizhou, like a tide, quickly rushed up from the three walls.
Fighting with the defenders of Jicheng on the wall.
The Jizhou army became more and more courageous.
And the defenders of Jicheng were defeated again and again.
"My Lord Governor, there is no enemy attacking the north gate, let's break out from the north!" Qi Zhou risked his life to come to Liu Yu's side and die.
He was pulled away with force, and he no longer cared about etiquette.
"It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
Qi Zhou roared in the huge noise.
But Liu Yu shook off his arm.
"I am a Han minister, how can I lose my land? ”
“Even if we can survive by breaking through, how can we face our ancestors?”
“If you don’t want to die, go alone!”
“I will fight to the death!”
Liu Yu roared with firm words.
He led the few remaining soldiers around him to fight desperately.
He cut down a Jizhou soldier with a sword, and his arms were shaking.
Qi Zhou couldn’t bear it.
“Since the governor has this intention, why can’t we!”
Picking up a long knife from the ground, Qi Zhou rushed towards the Jizhou soldiers.
“Fight to the death!! "
He swung his sword and hacked at the Jizhou soldiers.
Qi Zhou hacked at two people in a row.
However, he never expected to be surrounded.
After a fierce battle, he was exhausted and surrounded.
The Jizhou soldiers rushed up and hacked him into pieces on the spot.
Liu Yu wanted to rescue him, but was blocked by the Jizhou soldiers who were like a tide.
There was no way.
He could only watch Qi Zhou die.
Liu Yu's eyes were red with anger.
"Fight! "
His voice was hoarse, but Liu Yu did not hesitate to roar.
Under the city, Yan Liang looked at the Jizhou army that had firmly gained the upper hand on the city wall, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
He saw that the soldiers beside the commander of the city were chopped down one after another.
In the end, only the commander who was still standing proudly was left.
Liu Yu was panting.
He was surrounded by Jizhou soldiers.
He raised his sword and held it in front of his neck.
"The loser eats the sword. Although I die today, you who follow the traitors of the Yuan family will surely be doomed! "
After saying that, he slashed down with the sword in his hand.
Bang!
An arrow suddenly flew over and hit the sword in Liu Yu's hand like a lightning bolt.
The crisp sound echoed on the city wall.
The sword fell to the ground.
Puff puff puff!
The sound of arrows hitting the ground continued, and Liu Yu, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes and looked.
The Jizhou soldiers who surrounded him were all shot to the ground.
Looking at the wilderness in the distance, a red flag was flying above the wilderness.
"Tang Hai!" Liu Yu came back to life.
