Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 29
"The Han reinforcements have arrived south of the Baoqiu River. Lord Xiongba has sent Yubang to lead his troops to block the Han army from crossing the river. Now Yuyang City is just around the corner. We should end the battle in Yuyang City as soon as possible and free up our hands to eliminate the Han reinforcements. In this way, the large army can go south to attack Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou as soon as possible." Murong Ji said solemnly to Murong Gu, Wumeng, Weiran, Yuwendong and several tribal leaders standing around.
Yuwendong is the heroic coach of the Qiqi tribe. He and Murong Feng's general Yuwenshang are warriors of the same tribe. Yuwendong is tall and strong, with a beard like a steel needle. He heard Murong Ji's words and said with a smile: "My lord means that he is going to fight overnight?"
"Today we have severely damaged the Han army guarding the west city wall. If we don't give them any chance to breathe and launch a fierce offensive again, they probably won't be able to last a night. As long as we open the breakthrough, we can quickly expand our advantage and occupy the entire southern city gate. In this way, Yuyang City will be basically controlled by us." Murong Feng looked around, "What do you think? If you conquer Yuyang City, all the losses can not only be made up, but also make everyone's pockets quickly bulge."
"The losses of the troops have reached two thousand people in a row, and the soldiers are very tired. If they can do their best to take Yuyang City in one go, it will indeed greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. But the governor of Youzhou Liu Yu, who is kind to others, generous in government, and deeply loved the people. Under his inspiration, the people in the city may participate in the battle to defend the city. With his sacrifice, their defense ability will definitely increase exponentially. I hope that adults can consider this." Murong Gu is a tall and thin elder with a little gray beard. His relationship with Murong Ji has always been so harmonious, and both of them speak in the same voice on many major events. Murong Gu reminds Murong Ji at the right time to pay attention to Liu Yu's personal charm and not to lose big because of small things.
"The people's combat capabilities are limited, not to mention that the Han people have always been cowardly, timid and afraid of things, and are greedy for life and death. How much impact can a small Liu Yu have on siege?" Wu Meng said disdainfully.
"You must pay attention to it. Lord Murong's words make sense. Yuwendong, how about you leading the troops to attack the city gate?" Murong Ji asked Yuwendong.
"Attack the city gate? Do you want to disperse their troops a little more?"
"Yes. Wu Meng and Weiran led their troops to attack the East City Wall and dragged the enemy's defensive power to the city wall, making them unable to support the West City Wall. Lord Yuwen attacked the city gate with all his strength and dispersed one of their troops. The rest of the troops were all sent to the main battlefield, trying to succeed in the battle."
"Tomorrow morning, we can stand on the west wall and enjoy the sunrise." Murong Ji said to everyone with full confidence.
Tian Kai was in his thirties and was in his prime. He stood on the city wall with his armor, looking at the enemy's attacking troops under the city without blinking.
"Sir, the enemy has begun to attack." Tian Kai's army Sima Xianyuwei said loudly.
Tian Kai smiled, and he said to Xian Yuwei excitedly: "Our reinforcements may have arrived at the Baoqiu River."
"Sir, how do you know?" Xian Yuwei looked at Tian Kai strangely, wondering if he was looking forward to reinforcements and had something wrong. Now he is starting to talk nonsense.
"Tell the soldiers that reinforcements will arrive immediately and order everyone to rise up and defend Yuyang City to the death."
"Sir..." Xian Yuwei hesitated, hoping to get Tian Kaidi's explanation.
"Speaking of this, you are still the best among the Xianyu tribe in Yuyang. How can you fight in a mess? Have you seen Yu Bang's battle flag now? No, I didn't see it at noon. Xiong Ba's army has increased significantly in the number of attacks and intensity, what does it mean?" Tian Kai asked.
Xian Yuwei suddenly woke up, "Sir, is it really possible if you say this?"
"It's not possible, but it's the fact. Pay attention to the rear of the enemy troops, and there are more than a dozen piles of firewood, and they probably will be sieging the city overnight. In the current situation, the barbarians ignored the taboos of siege and fought with all their might. There is only one possibility, that is, there are external factors that force them to do this. They ignored the extreme fatigue of the soldiers and fought hard and recklessly. It would be fine if they won. Once the effort failed, it was very likely that they would be their destruction."
"The adults are very careful and experienced. The subordinates are indeed far from being in the same way. I will pass on the good news." Xian Yufu explained carefully to him, and immediately realized it and ran away happily.
"Beat the drum, and the troops enter the defensive position and prepare to face the enemy." Tian Kai ordered loudly.
Murong Ji's troops only attacked the city gate twice in a few consecutive days of battle. Because the attack surface of the city gate was very narrow, the soldiers on the attacking side were crowded and they were often hit hard. Compared with using cloud ladders to attack the city, not only were there many soldiers who died here but had poor attack effect. However, today we must launch an attack on the city gate again, and attacked the city gate regardless of death and injury. The more troops the city gate attracts, the greater the possibility of successfully seizing the city wall for the Murong tribe, which is mainly attacking the west city wall.
Yuwendong looked at the huge city-slamming car, and the soldiers lined up, raised their swords and shouted: "The warriors of the ancestral army, for the glory of the Xianbei people, huh..."
Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons at the same time and shouted loudly: "Huho...Huho..."
Murong Ji sat on the horse, turned around and said to the horn soldiers: "Start the attack!"
The huge sound of horns, one louder than another, resounded throughout the battlefield.
Murong Gu and Murong Feng stood under their own battle flags, raised their swords and shouted: "Huhe..."
The soldiers tried their best, as if they wanted to shout out the fear and fatigue in their hearts. They shouted with all their strength: "Huho...Huho..."
The two adults raised their weapons and rushed down the city first. The soldiers followed closely behind and killed them with the strongest courage.
Yuwendong and the soldiers held the huge hammer six feet long and six feet thick on the city cart. With the sound of the horns that shook the sky, they began to push the city cart toward the city gate. Hundreds of shield soldiers on both sides held up five feet long shields to cover the soldiers who were pushing the cart forward.
The sound of killing on the battlefield was shocked by the sky, and the soldiers of the attacking troops rushed to the southern gate of Yuyang City like a tide.
On the city wall, Liu Yu stood among the soldiers with a solemn expression with a war flag from the Han Dynasty.
Yu Sui stood at the forefront of the team and yelled hard: "Get the arrow, everyone should go up the arrow."
Many adults saw that the soldiers guarding the city had severely reduced their personnel. They consciously picked up their swords, took up their spears, and squatted behind the battlements of the city walls with the soldiers, preparing to participate in the battle.
Murong Ji made an arrow gesture to the horn hand next to him. The horn sound suddenly changed, and the shrill sound of the horn suddenly broke through the roars of the soldiers on the battlefield.
"Let it..." With a command, the Xianbei people's bow and archery troops first shot out the long arrows in their hands, opening the prelude to the bloody battles.
The long arrows in the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, making a huge whistle.
The shield soldiers raised their long shields on the city wall to cover the archers and shoot.
Yu Sui pointed to the sword in front of his hand, looked back and roared wildly: "Release... and shoot continuously..."
The harsh screams of long arrows in the air tearing the air almost covered the shouts of the Xianbei people running wildly under the city. The long arrows fell like * and shot on all the contact surfaces, making countless sounds. The screams and screams resounded throughout the battlefield with the continuous fall.
Yuwendong and the soldiers who were pushing the cart together braved the long arrows whistling all over the sky, and advanced hard. The cart hit the city was pushed by nearly a hundred soldiers and sped at high speed. As the inertia became stronger and stronger, it made a huge roar, with amazing momentum.
Under the cover of the archers, Xianbei soldiers quickly reached the city wall. They immediately set up hundreds of ladders along the city wall. Hundreds of assault teams immediately began to attack.
The enemy's bow and arrow troops stopped shooting continuously.
Countless large and small stones suddenly flew out of the city wall, and sometimes huge pounding trees fell from the sky. The siege soldiers were severely hit for a while, with heavy casualties.
However, the enemy had many points to attack the city, and the number of soldiers on the defensive side was small, and they were too short to take care of it. Not long after, Xianbei soldiers had successfully crossed the city wall from many places. They were aggressive and rushed towards the Han soldiers. The fierce hand-to-hand combat began again.
Liu Yu was surrounded by several guards with great martial arts. He held up the battle flag and kept shouting loudly, encouraging the morale of the soldiers. The soldiers who fought tenaciously saw the governor standing on the city wall without fear and living and dying with them, which made the soldiers excited, shouting loudly, bravely taking the lead, and sacrificing themselves to kill the enemy.
The battle became more and more intense, and Yu Sui's body suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yu's eyes.
"Sir, go down quickly. It's too dangerous here. I can't protect your safety." Yu Sui shouted at Liu Yu.
"Don't worry about me. Even if I die, I won't go down." Liu Yu said calmly and firmly.
Yu Sui had no choice but to stomp his feet hard, and turned around to kill the enemy who was rushing forward.
The siege troops in Yuwendong were like a sharp long arrow, and suddenly pierced into the vital points of Yuyang City.
The shield soldiers held up a large shield, blocking their soldiers tightly. There were not many Han soldiers on the city gate tower, and the long arrows shot out were sparse and there was no threat at all.
During the period when the Xianbei people attacked Yuyang City, they only attacked the city gate twice, which greatly paralyzed the Han army with insufficient defensive power. They lucky enough to think that the enemy would no longer be able to take it, and they lost a large amount of troops to attack the city gate. So they repeatedly drew power from here to supplement other places.
The city car was hitting faster and faster, and the soldiers pushing the cart were already running. The shield soldiers who protected them could no longer keep up with the pace, and the defense gap was getting bigger and bigger.
