Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 31
The Han soldiers immediately discovered that the loud shouting sounds filled the entire city tower. Before they could sprinkle the fire-fighting water, the five hundred soldiers organized by Yuwendong had already lined up to enter the range and started to volley round after round at the city gate tower. The dense long arrows were running back and forth on the city tower, and the Han soldiers who were preparing to put out the fire shot down a large area. Many people who helped guard the city died on the city tower, carrying tiles filled with water.
Liu Yu heard the crowds of people outside and signaled several guards to go out to see if the enemy started attacking the city gate tower again.
The guard who was walking in the front quickly opened the door and saw the rain of arrows all over the sky. Before he could shout out, more than a dozen long arrows had already roared into his body. The guard let out a roar of fear, and then he took a few steps back by the huge inertia of the arrow and fell on his back. At the same time, countless long arrows were like iron nails, making a dull and powerful "boom dong" sound, nailed to the stone ground of the city wall, on the roof of the city tower, on the pillars, on the windows, and on the doors, smashed on the ground near the door inside the house, and then bounced up and flew around. The entire city gate tower seemed to have hail, making a deafening roar.
The remaining guards were quick-witted and rushed to Liu Yu one by one, and erected a human wall in front of him.
The Han soldiers knew that the fire would definitely hurt the city gate. After the initial panic, they immediately calmed down. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, some soldiers began to continue transporting water to the city wall, and then threw the city guards down by the battlements of the city wall, along with the water and clay basins.
Yuwendong led some strong archers to shoot burning rockets into the door opening from time to time. Countless rockets were nailed to the strong and thick city gates and continued to burn.
"Sir, there are not enough arrows." Before half an hour, the inventory of long arrows in Yuwendong's tribe had basically been consumed.
Yuwendong shook his head helplessly and ordered loudly: "Light the car crashing into the city."
Leading by Yuwendong, a hundred soldiers began to push their carts, accelerate and run. This was the eleventh time they had hit the gate of Yuyang City.
"Brothers, use your strength, come on, kill..." Yuwendong raised his head and shouted loudly.
The archers fired long arrows significantly faster. The shield soldiers cheered loudly to cheer for their comrades.
Yuwendong looked at the city gate with the firelight soaring into the sky, and at the city gate that had already begun to smoke everywhere, suddenly a huge hatred that could not be curbed rose from the bottom of his heart. It was this gate that mercilessly devoured the lives of four or five hundred warriors in the Qiqi tribe. His face twisted violently because of his anger. He gritted his teeth, wishing to burn it immediately, destroy it, and knock it away.
"Huhe..." Yuwendong shouted with all his strength.
"Huhe..." The soldiers running at high speed were all excited and roared as their leaders roared.
"Huhe..." All the Xianbei soldiers downstairs at the city gate were excited and shouting in a loud voice.
The car hit the city reached its limit speed. It surrounded by a hundred great men, carrying the invincible aura of thunder, made a huge roar, rushed into the fire with unprecedented power and crashed into the city gate that was already covered by thick smoke.
"Boom..." There was a loud bang.
The city tower is shaking and the earth is shaking.
The thick smoke in the gatehouse was suddenly blown away by a strong wind and drifted away. The burning fire in the gatehouse and the flying flames swayed violently in the strong wind.
Yuwendong and his soldiers suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at the city gate incredibly. The city gate was miraculously knocked open a hole, a huge hole.
Yuwen Dong and the soldiers were dumbfounded and could not believe their eyes. Then they let out a huge cheer, ran away, roaring all the way, no longer caring about the arrows shot from the city tower or the stones thrown. They braved the scorching heat, stepped on the burning wood, rushed through the flames, and entered the gap in the city gate that was knocked through.
The city gate was broken, and Yuyang City was accidentally opened a gap, a fatal gap.
Behind the city gate, the Han army used earth bags to block two barrier walls, one person high. The purpose is to prevent the enemy cavalry troops from charging once the city is broken and delaying the enemy's attack speed. The main street under the city wall is full of weapons, stones and other various types of city defense tools.
Some wounded soldiers and a large number of people who were busy on this street made a terrifying and terrifying cry as if they had seen a devil.
Xianbei soldiers began to enter Yuyang City from the big cave, and then climbed over the roadblock composed of two obstacles. Han soldiers began to shoot at the Hu people nearby. Some people fled in various places, and more people chose to pick up their weapons and join the battle against the invaders.
Yuwendong raised his sword and killed a Han soldier with a sword. Then he danced his sword, drove several long arrows flying, and covered his subordinates over the obstacles. In a blink of an eye, twenty or thirty enemy soldiers, like wolves and tigers, had already rushed out of the roadblock and formed a defensive team. The rush of Han soldiers and the people of Yuyang City holding weapons immediately launched an attack on them.
Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the news and immediately ordered the drum to call the police. At the same time, he sent someone to ask the defenders on the east and west city walls to extend the defense line to the city gate tower.
Liu Yu led fifty soldiers down the city tower as fast as possible.
The bow and archers of the harem tribe at the city immediately followed quickly, and some stopped thirty steps away from the city tower and continued to shoot on the city tower, suppressing the counterattack of the Han soldiers. Some, under the cover of the shield soldiers, approached the city gate hole and quickly entered the city through the gap. At the same time, the horn hand blew the horn sound of a successful break. The horn message was then passed one after another. In the dark night, there were high and cheerful horn sounds everywhere.
Murong Ji finally smiled on his gloomy face. He shouted happily to the messenger: "Order the troops, before dawn, take down the West City Wall."
Under the command of the loud trumpet of charge, the Xianbei people suddenly had a great boost and the attack momentum rose again. When the soldiers heard the news that the city gate had been broken, they were all excited. They roared and danced their weapons to their heart's content, like the flood that broke the dike, and rushed towards the city wall with an invincible aura.
Liu Yu took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. He held the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom high, held the sword in his hand, and kept shouting: "Follow me to kill the enemy... For the Great Han Kingdom, for your home, and for your relatives, kill..."
The fleeing people saw their governors desperately and faced the enemy without fear, and they couldn't help but stop. They were shocked by the battle flag of the Han Kingdom, inspired by Liu Yu's momentum, and moved by Liu Yu's shouts. They turned around and followed him, and the fear in their hearts disappeared with the tide of anger.
The soldiers from Yuwendong gathered more and more in the area at the gate of the city. More than a dozen soldiers were working hard to move the soil bags near the broken gates to free up space and allow more soldiers to come in.
There were fifteen thick latches on the back of the city gate, which was as high as three meters high, and there was no way to remove the thick and heavy latch without a ladder to climb. There was no possibility of opening the city gate in a hurry. The place that was knocked out by a huge impact force was probably damaged by dozens of repeated collisions that day. Later, it was burned by a fire, and eventually became fragile and broken by the last blow of the city car.
The captain of the 100-man team walking beside Liu Yu roared and led the soldiers to run. With full of anger and resoluteness, they rushed towards the enemy who was slaughtering creatures at the gate of the city.
The people picked up all kinds of weapons on the ground, carried hatred towards the invaders, and ran behind them.
Yuwendong tried hard to kill an enemy soldier. When he looked up, he saw a group of black people rushing towards him. The joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.
The Han soldiers rushed forward, and at this time there was no need to worry about life and death. Death in battle was also death, and the city was captured was also death. Everyone let go, stared at their blood-red eyes, completely ignoring the weapons that were cut on themselves, and all they wanted was to kill people and kill the Xianbei people.
Two soldiers surrounded an enemy. The Han soldiers facing the enemy head-on did not resist at all, allowing the sword to penetrate their bodies. At the same time, their swords slashed the enemy's waist with a roar. Another soldier gritted his teeth and swung the sword to cut off the enemy's head. Ordinary people who were not trained often had to pay a few people to kill an enemy. But no one retreated. The relatives and neighbors in front fell in a pool of blood. The people following behind were roaring wildly, and they still rushed forward one after another. They couldn't use weapons, so they hugged them with their hands, bite them with their teeth, and use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's steel weapons.
On the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying, there were only murderous auras that shocked the sky, only warriors who sacrificed their lives, no fear, no crying, and no retreat.
In the narrow space at the city gate, thousands of people were densely packed, and everyone's anger and hatred were released without restrictions and erupted.
Liu Yu was squeezed under the city wall by the surging flow of people, and no one noticed his existence. Even the guards who had been following him gave up protecting him and killed him in the front of the battlefield. He stared at the crowd of people who had lost their minds in a daze, and looked sadly at the pair of brothers after pair of brothers. The father and son died under the enemy's butcher knife, and one ordinary kind man after another fell to the ground. His tears flowed down uncontrollably.
The people, these respectable and lovely ordinary people, stood up without hesitation when the Han Dynasty needed them the most, and gave their blood and life without regrets. Suddenly, Liu Yu felt that he was really a foolish and incompetent person. What did he do to these hardworking and kind people in the past year after he came to Youzhou? The people are still poor and the war is still endless. In the winter just now, thousands of people are still starving to death and frozen to death in the ice and snow.
The little coach under Yuwendong must be very regretful now. The idea of burning the city gate has sent him to the brink of death. He is now trapped in the crowd at the city gate.
