Chapter 412 Dumbfounded Enke
"King, we have lost five thousand servants!"
The night gradually enveloped the earth, making the woods on both sides of the mountain road look even darker.
On the mountain road five miles away from the castle, the white camp tent is now like a long dragon that continues to extend northward.
"Damn King Yan, I really want to eat his meat and drink his blood." Enko's eyes instantly turned red when he heard this.
Gordan sighed, "King, this time we have suffered the loss of King Yan's new firearm. Should we report this matter to Khan and stop attacking?"
"No!" Enko was like a cat who was stepped on his tail. "Khan gave us a death order this time. Even if we cannot take these fortresses, our Black Iron King's tent would restrain the troops of the King of Yan here and cover Ulaanba to land in Liao County."
Gordan nodded solemnly.
It seems that even if King Yan knows magic this time, they will have to fight to the end.
In this case, they will do whatever it takes.
"Prepare the powder keg, attack at night." Enko said after frowning and pondering for a while.
In the battle of Tongguan, the King of Yan took this method to blow up the city walls of Tongguan and enter.
This method inspired Xiliang and also inspired them in Beidi.
However, during the day, the vision is good, and the soldiers carrying the powder barrels will definitely be attacked by the King of Yan artillery.
But at night, the night covered everything, and the artillery of the King of Yan could not see things in the dark.
"Yes, the king." The wolf collectors shouted loudly when they heard this.
Despite their heavy losses during the day, they had no other choice in this war.
...
"Everyone is cheered up at night, and the people of Beidi may launch a night attack at night."
On the basin, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked deep in Qingfeng Mountain. In the telescope, there was a little ignition in the place where Beidi was stationed.
Putting away the telescope, Chang Wei suddenly shouted to the general guarding the city.
Zhao Xu nodded and agreed with Chang Wei's statement.
War is not a joke, they must take into account every possibility.
"Always defending passively like this means that Beidi is still leading us by the nose. We cannot spend our energy here." Thinking of something, Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and his voice was as cold as winter snow.
He had to admit one thing, Beidi Khan Mulehn really had a sharp eye.
Yanshan Pass north of Yan County is very important, because once it is broken through, the Beidi cavalry can directly attack Yancheng.
Therefore, Mulehon really made the Black Iron King's tent fight here to the death.
In this way, he can be restrained and concealed their true purpose - attacking from the sea.
However, Mulehong really would not have thought that Zhao Xu would no longer defend this war, but would adopt an offensive strategy.
After all, offense is sometimes the best defense.
At the same time, unexpected attacks are the easiest to break the enemy's plans.
"Your Highness wants to take the initiative to attack?" Chang Wei asked.
"That's right." Zhao Xu looked at Qingfeng Mountain, "The castle was just to prevent the Beidi people from entering Yan County, but we must not be lazy just because we have the castle and quickly defeat the Black Iron King's tent. We will have more sufficient troops to deal with the Beidi soldiers coming from the sea."
Chang Wei nodded slowly.
Zhao Xu continued: "They can attack at night, and we can also attack at night. Find a guide who is familiar with Qingfeng Mountain and lead the soldiers into the mountains at night to wait for an opportunity to attack."
There seemed to be a light flash in Chang Wei's eyes.
He was also tired of being attacked by the Beidi people and then passively counterattacked.
This time, he wanted to let the people of Beidi understand that the days when they attacked and the passive defense of Beisi County were gone forever.
After talking about this, the two of them set down the castle wall, and Chang Wei ordered Qinshan to watch tonight.
It's midnight.
Qin Shan, who was patrolling the city wall, suddenly heard a burst of tiny footsteps.
He was shocked and sweated coldly, and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
"Light the ignition oil." The soldiers on the city wall were startled, and the sleepy person immediately opened his eyes.
A soldier picked up his bow and arrow and shot the burning arrow into the trench outside the bastion.
This is a trench dug when building a bastion to defend against the enemy. At this time, the trench is full of tincture, and arrows fall, and a wall of fire emerges.
When the fire illuminated the surrounding space, suddenly a figure appeared in a corner that was not covered by flames. A soldier shouted: "There are people below!"
Suddenly, soldiers holding pulley crossbows on the city wall kept firing at that place, and screams came one after another.
Although the artillery is very powerful, pulley crossbows are more flexible for enemy soldiers who come to the low walls, so there are also a certain proportion of crossbow soldiers on the walls.
In the arrows, one figure fell down, and another wave of figures ran over.
Qin Shan frowned, picked up a torch and threw it down, and the dense Beidi servants shone out from the fire.
"Take the flower bullet away, hurry!" Qin Shan shouted.
They guessed it right this time. The Beidi people were really cunning. In order not to be aimed at by artillery, they actually attacked in the darkness.
After receiving his order, the mortar soldier directly ignited the lead of the flowering bullet and threw it down. There was no need to use the mortar gun at this distance.
The sound of "Room!" sounded.
This immediately alarmed everyone in the city. Zhao Xu, who had just fallen asleep, immediately got up and climbed up the city wall. At this time, there were bursts of shouts of killing from the city.
At the same time, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the sky came from the sky, and Beidi's archers also hid in the dark and shot.
"Tow the flowering bullet under the city wall." Zhao Xu shouted immediately after he stepped on the city wall.
At first glance, he saw the soldiers of Beidi di carving a city wall.
There is no doubt that their purpose is to bury the powder barrel under the city wall.
"Boom boom boom..." The explosion sounded again.
The corpses piled up in the city layer after layer.
"What kind of wall is this? Why can't it be chiseled?" With the attack on the city wall, the Beidi soldiers under the city were already in a difficult situation.
But what made the Beidi soldiers even more desperate was that their axes kept sparking on the city wall, but after cutting for a long time, they only destroyed a little.
The battle lasted for an hour.
The Beidi soldiers finally left a hole as big as a bowl on the city wall and left the body to evacuate.
When they returned to the camp, they immediately told Enko about this situation.
"Harder than iron! It's simply nonsense." Enko was furious, "You are making excuses for your failure, and you will drag all the people who returned and kill them."
Then he said, "Stop another thousand people from burying powder barrels!"
With a series of unjust words, the soldiers who fled back were dragged down, and then screamed.
Enko's face looked frosty. He wanted to tell the people who attacked the next time that they would not come back unless they succeeded.
However, the second attack also ended soon, and the soldiers who fled back answered the same answer as the soldiers who returned once.
"King, this is not right, the fortress seems to be strange." Gordan frowned.
The first wave of people said this, maybe it was an excuse, but it would be strange if the second wave said this.
"Damn it!" Enko almost clenched his teeth.
He did not allow the third wave of attacks, but the strategy of blowing the walls of the powder barrel cannot be implemented, which is really annoying.
