Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 29

"The reinforcements of the Han people have rushed to the south of the Baoqiu River, and Lord Xiong Ba has already sent his troops to prevent the Han army from crossing the river. Now that Yuyang City is just around the corner, we should end the battle of Yuyang City as soon as possible and free up our hands to eliminate the Han reinforcements. In this way, the large army can move south as soon as possible to attack Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou. Murong Ji said solemnly to Murong Yan, Wumeng, Weiran, Yuwen Tong and several tribal leaders who were standing around.

Yuwen Tong is the heroic commander of the Qiqi tribe, and he and Murong Feng's subordinate general Yuwen are warriors of the same tribe. Yu Wentong is tall and sturdy, and his beard is like a steel needle. When he heard Murong Ji's words, he said with a smile: "Isn't the meaning of the adult, that you are going to fight overnight?" ”

"Today we have inflicted heavy losses on the Han army guarding the western wall, and if we don't give them any respite and launch another fierce offensive, it is estimated that they should not be able to hold out for a night. As long as we open a breakthrough, we can quickly expand our advantage and occupy the entire southern gate. In this way, Yuyang City is basically under our control. Murong Feng looked around, "What do you think?" Capture Yuyang City, all the losses can not only be recovered, but also make everyone's pockets quickly bulge. ”

"With the continuous attack, the losses of the troops have already reached two thousand people, and the soldiers are exhausted. If you can take Yuyang City in one go, it can indeed greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. But sticking to the west city wall is Youzhou Thorn Shi Liu Yu, who treats people kindly, is generous to the government, and wins the hearts of the people. Under his inspiration, the people of the city may participate in the defense of the city, and their defense capabilities will surely increase exponentially if they forget to die. I hope you will be able to consider this. "Murong Chuan is a tall and thin elder, and his beard is a little gray. The relationship between him and Murong Ji has always been smooth, and the two of them speak with one voice on many major events. Murong Zhan reminded Murong Ji in a timely manner that he should pay attention to Liu Yu's personal charm and not lose his big because of small things.

"The people's combat ability is limited, not to mention that the Han people have always been cowardly, cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, how much impact can a small Liu Yu have on the siege?" Umeng said disdainfully.

"Pay attention to it, Lord Murong's words are very reasonable. Yuwentong, how about you lead the troops to storm the city gate? Murong Ji asked Yuwen Tong.

"Storming the gates? Do you want to spread their forces a little more? ”

"Yes. The two lords, Umon and Weiran, led their troops to feint on the eastern wall, dragging the enemy's defensive forces to the city wall, leaving them unable to support the western wall. Lord Yuwen attacked the city gate with all his might, and then dispersed some of their forces. The rest of the troops were all thrown into the main battlefield, trying to succeed in the first battle. ”

"Tomorrow morning, we will be able to stand on the western wall and enjoy the sunrise." Murong Ji said to everyone with confidence.

Tian Kai is in his thirties and is in his prime. He stood on the city wall in full armor, and his eyes unblinkingly looked at the attacking troops of the enemy below the city.

"My lord, the enemy is attacking." Tian Kai's military Sima Xian Yuwei said loudly.

Tian Kai laughed, and he said excitedly to Xian Yuwei: "Our reinforcements may have reached the Baoqiu River. ”

"My lord, how do you know?" Xian Yuwei glanced at Tian Kai strangely, wondering if there was something wrong with the reinforcements, and now they are all starting to talk nonsense.

"Tell the soldiers that reinforcements will arrive immediately, and order everyone to fight hard and defend Yuyang City."

"My lord......" Xian Yuwei hesitated, hoping to get Tian Kaidi's explanation.

"Speaking of which, you are still the leader of the Xianyu clan with the number one surname in Yuyang, how can you fight in a daze. Do you see the banner now? No, I didn't see it at noon. Xiong Ba's army is now significantly more numerous and more aggressive, what does it mean? Tian Kai asked.

Xian Yuwei suddenly came to his senses, "My lord, what you say, is it really possible?" ”

"It's not possible, it's true. If you look at the rear of the enemy's troops, more than a dozen piles of firewood have been piled up, and it is estimated that they will attack the city overnight. In the current situation that the situation is not one-sided, the barbarians ignore the taboo of siege warfare and do their best to fight continuously, there is only one possibility, that is, some external factors force them to do so. Regardless of the extreme fatigue of the soldiers, they blindly fought hard and worked hard, and it was good that they won, but once they fell short, it was very likely that they would be destroyed. ”

"The adults are subtle and experienced, and the lower officials are indeed far behind. I will pass on the good news. Xian Yufu gave him a careful explanation, and immediately realized that he rushed away happily.

"The drums beat and the troops moved into defensive positions and prepared to meet the enemy." Tian Kai ordered loudly.

Murong Ji's troops only attacked the city gate twice in several days of continuous fighting. Due to the very narrow attack surface of the city gates, the soldiers of the attacking side were crowded in a heap, and the ground damage was often very heavy. Compared to the siege of the city with a ladder, there are not only more soldiers who die here, but also the attack effect is poor. But today the assault on the gates must be renewed, and it will be carried out without regard for casualties. The more troops attracted at the city gate, the more likely it was for the Murong tribe to successfully capture the city wall for the main attack in the direction of the western city wall.

Yu Wentong looked at the huge crash truck, the soldiers lined up, raised their swords and shouted: "The warriors of the Horse Tribe, for the glory of the Xianbei people, hoho ......"

Thousands of warriors raised their weapons at the same time and shouted: "Hohoo...... Hohoo ......"

Murong Ji sat on his horse, turned back to the horn soldier and said, "Start attacking!" ”

The sound of a huge bull's horn, one louder than the other, resounded throughout the battlefield.

Murong invaded, and Murong Feng each stood under their own battle flags, raising their swords and shouting: "Hoho, ......"

One by one, the soldiers tried their best, as if to shout out their fear and fatigue together, and they shouted with all their might: "Ho-ho...... Hohoo ......"

The two adults raised their weapons and rushed to the city first. The soldiers followed and fought with the greatest bravery.

Together with the soldiers, Yu Wentong held the huge ramshell six feet long and six feet thick on the city crash truck, and roared wildly with the sound of the bull horn, and began to push the city crash car towards the city gate. Hundreds of shield-bearers on either side, holding five-foot-long shields, covered the soldiers advancing in the carts.

The battlefield was filled with a sound of killing, and the soldiers of the attacking force flocked to the south gate of Yuyang City like a tide.

On the city wall, Liu Yu held the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom and stood among the soldiers with a solemn expression.

Yu Sui stood at the forefront of the team and shouted vigorously: "Get on the arrow, all on the arrow." ”

Many adult civilians, seeing that the soldiers defending the city had been severely reduced, very consciously picked up their swords, picked up their spears, and squatted behind the battlements of the city wall with the soldiers, ready to participate in the battle.

Murong Ji made a gesture to the trumpeter next to him to release the arrow. The sound of the horn suddenly changed, and the terrible sound of the bull's horn broke through the roar of the soldiers on the battlefield in an instant.

"Let go of the ......" With an order, the Xianbei people's archery troops first shot the long arrows in their hands, kicking off the prelude to a series of bloody battles.

The long arrows in the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, and a loud whistling sound was released.

On the wall, the shield soldiers stepped forward and raised their long shields to cover the archers' shots.

Yu pointed forward to the war knife in his hand, looked back and roared: "Let go...... Burst shot, burst ......"

The shrill cries of arrows in the air tearing through the air almost drowned out the shouts of the Xianbei people who were rushing from below. The long arrow fell like a *, striking all accessible surfaces, making countless sounds. Screams, exclamations, with the continuous falling figures, resounded throughout the battlefield.

Yu Wentong and the soldiers who were pushing the cart together fought hard under the cover of the shield soldiers, braving the long arrows whistling all over the sky. Pushed by nearly a hundred soldiers, the crash car sped at high speed, and as the force of inertia increased, it emitted a huge roar, and the momentum was amazing.

The Xianbei soldiers, under the cover of archers, quickly reached the city wall. They immediately erected hundreds of ladders along the city walls. Hundreds of assault squads immediately went on the offensive.

The enemy's archery units stopped firing continuously.

Countless large and small stones suddenly flew out of the city walls, and occasionally huge logs fell from the sky. The besieging soldiers were hit hard for a while, with heavy casualties.

However, the enemy had many points to attack the city, and the defenders were too small to be overstretched. In a short time, the Xianbei soldiers had successfully climbed over the city walls from many places. They were fierce and slaughtered the Han soldiers. Fierce hand-to-hand combat resumed.

Liu Yu was tightly surrounded in the middle by several guards with strong martial arts. He held the battle flag high and kept shouting loudly, boosting the morale of the soldiers. The soldiers who fought tenaciously saw Lord Thorn Shi standing on the city wall without fear and living and dying with them, which made the soldiers' blood boil, and they all shouted wildly, bravely took the lead, and sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy.

The battle became more and more intense, and Yu Sui was covered in blood and suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yu's eyes.

"My lord, go down quickly, it's too dangerous here, and I can't protect your safety." Yu Sui yelled at Liu Yu.

"Leave me alone. Even if I die, I won't go down. Liu Yu was calm and said categorically.

Yu Sui was helpless, stomped his foot fiercely, and turned to kill the enemy who pounced.

Yuwentong's siege force was like a sharp long arrow, suddenly piercing the key point of Yuyang City.

The shield soldier held his shield aloft and shielded his own soldiers. There were not many Han soldiers on the city gate, and the long arrows shot out were scarce, and there was no threat at all.

The Xianbei people only attacked the city gate twice during the period of attacking Yuyang City, which greatly paralyzed the Han army, which had insufficient defensive strength. They were lucky enough to think that the enemy would not give up any more difficulties, and they lost a lot of troops to attack the city gates. So they have repeatedly drawn strength from here to replenish other places.

The ramming cart was getting faster and faster, and the soldiers pushing the cart were already galloping. The shield soldiers protecting them were no longer able to keep up with the rhythm, and the gaps in their defenses were getting bigger and bigger.

About fifty paces away from the city gate, Yuwen Tong finally broke out.
