Chapter 867
The troops in Shanhaiguan screamed when they found that the city gate was opened. After some troops saw that the Shanhaiguan city was opened, they understood that the Ming army guarding the city gate might have defected to Lord Wu Xiang.
A messenger hurriedly came to a camp and reported to a general,"General Hu, the gates of Shanhaiguan City have been opened, and some of the troops defending the city have betrayed the Ming Empire.""
"Damn it, ordered Zhao Zhong to seize the city gate immediately."General Hu ordered angrily after hearing what the messenger said.
He did not expect that there would be traitors in the Ming Empire's army. Even the important gates of the Shanhaiguan Great Wall defense line were opened.
If the troops from Gusu City rushed in at this time, they would How can the army of the Ming Empire fight against the army of Gusu City? The army of Gusu City is not something that these armies can defeat.
"Yes, General"
"Kill, kill these traitors and take back the Shanhaiguan gate."A general from the Ming Empire rode on a war horse and ordered the tens of thousands of troops behind him,
"kill! kill! kill!"
When Colonel Yang saw the arrival of tens of thousands of Ming Empire troops, he hurriedly ordered his troops,
"Archers prepare, release!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Ahhh!
The troops rushing in front were shot and killed, and more Ming troops rushed over from behind.
These Ming troops knew that if they could not seize the Shanhaiguan City Gate at this time, they would probably die soon. When the troops from Huigusu City arrive, all the defense lines of the Shanhaiguan Great Wall will be lost, and even their troops here will be killed.
When Captain Yang saw that he was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, he drew his sword and shouted desperately,"Hold the city gate!" Guard the city gate! As long as we hold the city gate, we will be able to save them. The army under the command of Huang Rong has arrived and will arrive in less than a quarter of an hour. Come on over and hold the city gate."
Boom!
The Ming army and the rebels finally collided together. Blood flew everywhere for a while. Many soldiers were killed immediately. Even the soldiers who did not die immediately were trampled to death by the soldiers rushing from behind.
Shanhaiguan City On the roof of a house at the entrance, more than a dozen men in black watched the war at the city gate without saying a word. However, the spider tattoos on their necks could tell that these people were assassins of the Snare.
These assassins of the Snare were responsible for monitoring those they instigated rebellion. And the Ming generals who coerced and lured them. If these generals who took refuge in their Gusu City had any evil intentions, then these assassins would kill them without hesitation.
Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong.......
A prefecture-level Snare Assassin heard the heavy running sounds outside Shanhaiguan, and he said in a hoarse voice to the Snare Assassins next to him,
"Here, the heavy armored infantry regiment is coming. It seems that the Southern Army is going to take Shanhaiguan this time. Our mission here is completed. Colonel Yang is available. Colonel Zhao will be executed in secret. Now go and complete the next mission."
"yes!"
The snare assassins on the roof quickly disappeared here one by one.
Outside the gate of Shanhaiguan City, tens of thousands of legions wearing thick black armor arrived. Each of these legions wearing thick black armor carried a fierce and terrifying look. Masks, they were not afraid of the arrows shot from the wall next to them, and just rushed towards the gate of Shanhaiguan City. The commander of the Third Heavy Armored Infantry Corps looked at the battle at the gate of Shanhaiguan City and ordered loudly,"Charge up, any arms I will kill all the troops without white cloth on them. The Shanhaiguan city gate must be firmly controlled by me."
"kill!"
"The Southern Legion has arrived, brothers, hold on!" Colonel Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the arrival of the Southern Army. This time he finally waited until the arrival of the Southern Army. Otherwise, I am afraid that in another quarter of an hour, these rebel armies will not be able to hold on.
The Ming rebels at the gate of the city Hearing Colonel Yang's words, they found that black-armored soldiers were constantly leaping past them and rushing toward the Ming army in front. These were all troops from Gusu City.
The rebels of the Ming Dynasty were relieved now. Although it was only a short battle, the rebels suffered thousands of casualties. Of the six to seven thousand Ming rebels, there are now less than three thousand left, and all of them are injured. This is a very heavy casualty..
As more and more Third Army troops arrived, the Ming Army finally couldn't hold on and began to retreat, and the Third Army kept rushing towards the Ming Army.
There should be no threat at the gate of Shanhaiguan City. The Southern Army's Each legion is about to arrive, and their third legion must clear the obstacles for the subsequent legions.
"Devil, these armies are devils, I won’t fight."
A soldier of the Ming Dynasty looked at the soldiers of Gusu City with evil ghost masks on their faces as they ferociously slaughtered the Ming army. Even the soldiers of the Ming army slashed at the black armor without harming these black armored soldiers.
He finally collapsed and threw it away. The weapon escaped.
The escape of a Ming soldier caused a series of army soldiers to flee. The tens of thousands of Ming troops who came to seize the city gate were completely defeated.
Seeing this situation, Ming General Zhao Zhong hurriedly shouted," You are not allowed to retreat. It is the duty of our army to protect our country and our country. Come on, if we don't capture the Shanhaiguan gate, we will all die."
No matter how many orders and shouts the General Zhao Zhong of the Ming Dynasty gave, it was useless. The defeated Ming army had no soldiers to obey Zhao Zhong's orders anymore. The troops here quickly fled back one by one.
He now only has more than a thousand relatives left by his side. The guards were resisting the attack of the Third Army, which made General Zhao Zhong very angry.
Zhao Zhong looked at the fleeing army with burning eyes and cursed,
"Cowards, they are all cowards. The Ming Empire will really perish if we have armies like yours."
"The crossbow is ready, let go!"A commander of the Third Legion immediately ordered when he saw the Ming army still resisting in front,"Swish, swish, swish."........
Zhao Zhong and his army, who were still resisting the Third Legion, were immediately shot to death. More than a thousand Ming troops who made the final resistance were destroyed. The Third Legion quickly climbed onto the city wall and massacred the army on the wall..
After the commander of the Third Army arrived at the gate of Shanhaiguan City, he looked at the injured rebels here and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the Ming army was very weak, it still had courage and was not as unbearable as imagined.
"Who is your general?"
When Colonel Yang saw the general in heavy armor, he immediately saluted and said,"General, I am Colonel Yang Cheng."
"You are good. I am the commander of the Third Army of the Southern Army. Now Shanhaiguan City Gate is guarded by the Third Army. You troops can rest."
"Yes, Legion Commander!"
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!".......
At this time, the attack horn of the Southern Army sounded, and the sound of horse hooves came from outside Shanhaiguan. This was the cavalry regiment of the Southern Army charging over.
When the commander of the third legion heard the sound of horse hooves, he hurriedly shouted an order,
"Clear the road, clear the road quickly, and make way for the cavalry regiment."
