Chapter 218: Siege

For five consecutive days, the Xianbei Army and Yanmen County maintained a tacit understanding of peace.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm. The longer Xianbei takes to make siege equipment, the more equipment will be made and the more violent the siege will be.

Ji Luo, on the other hand, accumulated rolling stones, wood, gold juice and other tools for defending the city at all costs.

Many people even demolished their own houses in order to help defend the city.

Everyone knew that if the Xianbei army could not be stopped, everyone in the city would be destroyed, and no one knew how many people would die in the rebellion.

Because I understand, I feel heavier...

These days, even Mu Yanyu, who likes to joke the most, can no longer laugh. The girl often sits on the parapet, looking at the 100,000 Xianbei troops in the distance, and remains silent for a long time.

"If this city falls, I will stay here and accompany it."

When Mu Yanyu said this, her expression was very serious. Looking at her solemn expression, Ji Luo couldn't say anything joking after all, so he just nodded heavily.

"I will accompany you, just like the oath we made when we became sworn brothers. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day."

This was the first time Ji Luo saw the appearance of an army of 100,000 men. The black smoke rising from the cooking stoves was like dark clouds. Although they were dozens of miles away, they could smell the smell of cattle and sheep in the wind.

War is really a frightening thing. No matter how many times, Ji Luo will never admit that fighting can make people happy, because in war, people really lose too much...

On the sixth day, the weather was fine. After breakfast, Ji Luo and others stood on the city wall, quietly waiting for the Xianbei people to attack.

When the time is up, just like the clenched fist has gained enough strength, the next step is to swing it out at all costs, killing the enemy or hitting the wall to make your own bones crack.

Both sides had no choice. Under Bu Dugen's order, tens of thousands of Xianbei people, under the cover of the sky-covering arrow rain, carrying various siege equipment, began to launch a general attack on Yunzhong County.

So... blood and death, wails and cries, fell like raindrops on the entire battlefield.

One after another, siege ladders were put up on the city wall. The Xianbei soldiers, who were not wearing any protective gear at all and only held long swords, rushed towards the city wall in succession, risking their lives.

As a commander, Ji Luo did not simply take the lead, because falling into a fight would cause them to lose their commanding calmness and spectatorship. Ji Luo and others guarded the city walls at different locations, and the well-trained soldiers did this very well.

their tasks.

Although the Xianbei people are brave, the city wall is condescending after all. There is no warm-up to this battle. From the very beginning, it has entered a white-hot meat grinder state. Killing and being killed have become the only two options left on the battlefield. People's

Adrenaline hormones began to be secreted in large quantities, and everyone risked their lives, waving the weapons in their hands, killing enemies one after another.

One is for protection, the other is for plunder.

The first siege lasted for five or six hours, and nearly five thousand Xianbei soldiers died. Ji Luo and others who defended the city also suffered more than a thousand casualties.

At night, the fragrant food made every soldier feel grateful that he was still alive. The army leaders such as Ji Luo had no intention of having dinner. What they had to consider was the situation on the entire battlefield. It was almost impossible to have time to sleep tonight.

Ji Luo and others have 20,000 soldiers. Counting other soldiers who are not very effective in combat, the total number is about 40,000. But to be honest, the other 20,000 soldiers are really useless. Ji Luo just wants them to be auxiliary soldiers.

, I didn’t expect them to go to the battlefield.

To be honest, we are not afraid of enemies who are like gods, but we are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. When those veterans and wanderers enter the battlefield, they will probably run away in a swarm, and the entire front may collapse.

There were 200,000 Xianbei cavalry outside the city, but there were only 20,000 elite soldiers inside the city. With the addition of 20,000 soldiers, Ji Luo felt that he was a bit like a clever woman who could not make a living without rice.

To be honest, no one thought that Xianbei would use such a huge force for this invasion. It can be said that 200,000 cavalry was a huge gamble. If they lost, then the entire Xianbei would freeze to death this winter. At least a dozen people would freeze to death.

Thousands of people.

In the previous raids southward, the Xianbei people could only number 50,000 at a time. Ji Luo cannot say that he missed the mark, but rather that the other party did not take the usual path and made big news.

"To be honest, based on the comparison of forces in front of us, our chances of winning this defensive battle are very small."

Although Ji Luo is not good at directing battles, he has always been good at calculation and judgment. In this situation, the Xianbei people are almost exchanging lives for lives, and they can win with a pair of tricks.

Although the Xianbei people will suffer heavy losses, once their 20,000 elite troops are exhausted, the entire battle will collapse immediately without having to be fought.

"We have three thousand cavalry."

Lu Honglei was sitting on the main seat and suddenly said something unrelated.

To be honest, Lu Honglei is only suitable to be the commander-in-chief of an army, not the coach. What does that mean? Lu Honglei can go to the battlefield and command a large tent, but he can command several armies and let all parties cooperate to fight and exert more power.

She would never be able to do it with a lot of energy.

Therefore, in terms of military discussions, the core of Ji Luo and others are Jiang Yingluo and An Yujin, especially An Yujin. Although she has no memory, she is the deputy director of the 11th Bureau, in terms of command and combat arrangements.

, she can always do it.

Jiang Yingluo has learned some war-related knowledge. After all, she has a high chance of going to the battlefield, and the Jiang family must be in a command position, so it is necessary to learn these things.

Now, Jiang Yingluo and An Yujin have become the staff and part-time commanders of their army. After hearing Lu Honglei's reminder, the two women looked at each other and showed thoughtful expressions at the same time.

"Honglei, there are 200,000 enemy troops. Are your three thousand cavalry going to rob the camp?"

Ji Luo has not considered taking the initiative, but to be honest, the gap between three thousand and two hundred thousand is too big, and it is difficult to give people enough determination to gamble.

"It will definitely not work under normal circumstances, but if it is night, three thousand people are divided into five teams, and the five of us will lead them separately and attack from five directions..."

Lu Honglei is definitely a cavalry commander at the SSS level. She is born with a sensitivity to the battlefield, especially the cavalry, a unit that requires great opportunities to seize opportunities. She is even more at home.
