Chapter 173: Defeated in the first battle

"Eradicate the Hexi Army!"

"Eradicate the Hexi Army!"

The right Qianniu guard shouted on the walkway of the city wall, and his words fell, and the arrows were like flying locusts, and they shot out in unison, forming an overwhelming attack on the city wall. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After days of hard fighting, the right Qianniuwei continued to thwart the offensive of the Hexi Army and killed many Hexi troops.

Yuanzhou City is still in control of the hands, making the momentum of the right Qianniu Wei invisible, constantly increasing!

Today, defeat the siege of the Hexi army, kill thousands of enemies, and defend the right thousand Niu Wei momentum is getting stronger and stronger!

Hearing Zhang Shaoqing's order, the arrow rain of the right Qianniu guard became sharper and sharper, and the Hexi army climbing on the ladder was shot by the arrow rain from time to time, screaming and falling down the ladder.

However, on the cloud ladder, a large number of Hexi troops held iron shields, and quickly formed a defense when the arrow rain fell.

Even though on the city wall, the rain of arrows was intensive, and wave after wave was shot down, as a result, most of the flying arrows were blocked by iron shields, and the Hexi army that climbed along the cloud ladder suffered few casualties.

Braving the rain of arrows, regardless of the danger to his life, he still crawled forward, and his momentum did not diminish at all.

Zhang Shaoqing stood quietly on the city wall, witnessing the fierce siege of the Hexi army under the city wall, and the rain of arrows never stopped the Hexi army!

According to the current situation, sooner or later the Hexi army will climb the city wall, and the wonju city will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Hexi army.

However, he had expected that the Hexi Army, which had rich combat experience, had defensive methods, and was not in a hurry.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Shaoqing blew his beard and glared, and shouted to the right Qianniuwei on all sides: "Rolling wood and stone are suppressed, boiling water and fire oil are poured down, and the Hexi army must not be allowed to climb the city wall." ”

The Hexi Army's offensive was too fierce, and Right Qianniuwei seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem, and when he heard the general's order, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly followed Zhang Shaoqing's instructions, picked up the rolling wood and stones, and filled it with boiling water and oil.

The rolling wood rolled down quickly from the ladder, like a knife, and went down with one knife, directly eradicating all the Hexi troops climbing on the ladder!

Huge rolling log, strong impact, rolling wood rolled down, smashed on the Hexi army, either dead or wounded!

The big boulder was lifted by two or three people, and it was smashed down by the Hexi Army with a shield in hand.

Boiling water and fire oil poured down, pervasive, splashing on the Hexi army holding an iron shield to cover, causing the Hexi army to let out a burst of screams, hurriedly stopped moving forward, jumped down from the ladder, and rolled in the ground and dirt.

Soon, in the corridor of the city wall, the archers who were waiting for the archers quickly rushed up and shot along the city wall to the Hexi army, who were in a worrying situation on the ground.

Soon, in the city wall, the blood flowed like a river, and the blood stained the wall of Yuanju City into blood red, as if it was quickly wiped and killed.

Under the city, the corpses of the Hexi army were piled up, lying horizontally and vertically on the ground.

The second wave of the Hexi Army's offensive was once again fully repulsed, and the Hexi Army, which was lucky to survive, grabbed the handle of the knife and fled one by one!

At this time, Zhang Yan stared at the defeat of the Hexi army, and was full of anger, six or seven thousand Hexi troops were buried under the city of Yuanzhou, but there was no gain!

Zhang Yan did not dare to fight again, and if he continued to fight, the casualties of the Hexi Army would definitely get bigger and bigger, but it would make the Tang Army become imposing, and the current situation was very unfavorable to the Hexi Army.

I couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat, although there was a military order, vowing to take Wonju City, but the casualties exceeded pre-war expectations.

After the hard fighting, the Hexi army suffered greater casualties, and in the end it still did not capture Yuanzhou, and he would not be able to explain to Yang Qingwu and Chen Anbiao.

"Mingjin retreats, Mingjin retreats!" Zhang Yan didn't dare to fight again, and commanded the guards around him.

In the battle of Yuanzhou City, the Tang army was unexpectedly strong, and if it wanted to seize the city, it was necessary to think in the long run, and it was not possible to continue to attack.

The defeated Hexi Army, hearing the sound of gold, threw away its armor and fled in a hurry, and the tide receded!

Soon, the murderous and war-spirited north gate of the city wall, the siege troops all disappeared, leaving only the broken city wall and the corpses of six or seven thousand Hexi troops!

On the city wall, witnessing the gradual retreat of the Hexi army, Zhang Shaoqing took a long breath, supported his hands on the battlements of the city wall, and gasped for breath.

Every time the Hexi army is successfully repulsed, the pressure on the right Qianniuwei will be reduced by a few points.

Today's siege failed, and I believe that in a short period of time, the Hexi army will not forcibly attack the city.

Hexi battalion, military tent!

Yang Qingwu arranged the guards and set up a banquet in the military tent, just waiting for Zhang Yan to return victorious!

In the early stage, in three consecutive battles, the Hexi army stormed the city of Yuanzhou, although it did not capture the city, but the city wall was seriously damaged.

Today, Zhang Yan led the troops to attack the city again, and before leaving, he explained to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan was arrogant, and made a military order on the spot.

Yang Qingwu saw Zhang Yan leave with confidence, and his heart was also full of confidence.

The Hexi Army has won many big victories against the Tang Army, and Zhang Yan is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he has attacked the city three times in a row in the early stage, so he should find out the reality of Yuanzhou's defense.

This time he left with confidence, and when the news was returned, Zhang Yan was most likely stationed in Yuanzhou City.

Yang Qingwu's expression was full of pride, his eyes were like torches, and he stared directly at the map in front of him.

In his expression, while Zhang Yan had not yet returned, he had already begun to deploy, and after seizing Yuanzhou City, the direction of the Hexi Army's attack was over.

In the past few days, the Hexi Army has stormed Yuanzhou, but there is still not much success.

In the early morning, Jiedu envoy Chen Anbiao sent a military order, questioning Yang Qingwu why the army was stagnant in Yuanzhou City.

Yang Qingwu was extremely depressed, he was outside, and the military order was not accepted, and the situation in Yuanzhou City was extraordinary.

Today, when Zhang Yan seizes Yuanzhou, the army can swing south, destroy the withered state, capture Qizhou and other cities, and point to Chang'an.

In the handsome tent, the other three lieutenant generals under Yang Qingwu's tent had heavy expressions, silent speech, and their eyes were focused on Yang Qingwu.

The generals were full of confidence in Zhang Yan's attack on Yuanju City, and they also admired Zhang Yan's military ability. However, Gao Xiaoyun, the defender of Yuanju City, is not an idle person.

The Hexi Army fought three consecutive battles and never captured Yuanzhou City, could it be that because of Zhang Yan, he made a military order and easily captured Yuanzhou City?

In the eyes of the three lieutenant generals, the war may not go smoothly.

After being silent for a long time, a Zhonglang general got up, walked to the center of the military tent, and said to Yang Qingwu, who was observing the map attentively, with his fists clasped into his fists: "General, the Tang Dynasty has taken serious precautions against Yuanzhou City, and the Hexi Army has failed several fierce attacks. ”

Yang Qingwu heard the sound, took a long breath and turned around, looked directly at General Zhonglang, and said bluntly: "Wu Zhonglang, at present, the Hexi Army is hindered, but the Hexi Army is like a rainbow, and it will break through Yuanzhou today!" ”

For Yuanzhou City, Yang Qingwu is bound to win, not to mention, Zhang Yan has a military order, and the army will definitely go all out to attack.

In Yang Qingwu's heart, perhaps when the two discussed, Zhang Yan had already captured Yuanzhou City.

Recently, Zhang Yan has led troops many times to test the reality of Yuanzhou City, although it is far more difficult than expected, indicating that the Tang Army has long been prepared for Yuanzhou City.

However, between understanding the reality of Yuanzhou City, Yang Qingwu was full of confidence in continuing to forcibly attack the city. (To be continued.) )
