Chapter Forty-Seven: Destroying the Withered and Decaying

Although he was ready to go out of the city to attack the enemy, he still had to defend the city of bones. Lu Yi was ordered to go to the urn in the south of the city to prepare to go out of the city with the soldiers to face the battle, and Yan Bei took Guo Jia to the top of the city, and replaced Lu Yi as the general who defended the city under the cover of the soldiers with shields.

The morale of the defenders was not high, because most of the friendly troops were assembled under the city, and there were only less than 3,000 defenders on the two walls of the city...... There are now only more than 7,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and Lu Yi has placed 3,000 soldiers under the city, and Pan Ling is lame and covering his ass to guard the thousands of Goguryeo slaves, and the defenders in the city are obviously insufficient. Ordinary soldiers only know that it is natural to listen to the orders of the officials, be paid as soldiers, and defend the city, but most of them do not understand the situation.

They only see that they are the one who is trapped at the moment, and they feel that there is no hope of victory.

But Yan Bei climbed to the head of the city to personally command the battle, he was just under the protection of the Yan Zhao warriors from the southeast to the northwest of the city, and the morale of the Duliao generals on a city wall was greatly boosted, damn it, the generals personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and lived and died with them, what else is there to say!

Dian Wei was left under the city by Yan Bei, since the day of the siege of the city, Dian Wei took the lead in capturing the city gate tower and opening the drawbridge to lay the victory, Yan Bei knew that his own personal guard commander is also a force to be reckoned with in the battle, such an excellent warrior is a natural choice to rush into battle, let him command two or three thousand people of the school captain department, Dian Wei may not be able to do very well; But if you lead a strong army of a thousand men, there will be no enemies in front of them!

An excellent general can bring strong confidence and high morale to the soldiers!

The arrows on the city are insufficient, not even as good as the rain of arrows thrown by Yi Yin Mo when he defended the city, but the people who attacked the city under the city were not the elite men of Yanbei, and even when the 8,000 male soldiers of Goguryeo attacked the city desperately, they could only get pity in Yanbei's eyes.

In Yanbei's view, the siege ordnance of the enemy army under the city was really rudimentary. A ladder is a simple ladder, shoddy; There was no rushing car, only a giant tree hugged by dozens of soldiers as a ram.

To tell the truth, with such siege ordnance, Yanbei just doesn't defend the city, and the gate of Susheng Bone City has been reinforced by slaves, and it will not be something they can break open for a while.

"Don't fire the stone, get ready, listen to my command before firing a salvo at the enemy!" The siege has just begun, and the moat outside the city still needs to be filled by the enemy army for a while, and now neither the stone cannon nor the Lu Yi can attack, "Let the Lu Yi and Dian Wei wait under the city, don't worry." Damn, it's all for Lao Tzu to hide behind the battlements! The archer listens, pulls the bow and winds it, and fires a salvo! ”

Yanbei is giving an order to the herald soldier to give an order, and the enemy under the city shot a wave of arrows and rain on the shield above Yanbei's head as a samurai, which made Yanbei scold, and hurriedly shouted to order the soldiers to hide, and then dodged the arrow rain behind the city gate tower, and waited for the enemy to shoot out of the arrow rain, shouting to order the soldiers to return fire.

Yanbei had attacked many cities, but he did not defend them many times, and this was the first time he felt disgusted with the moat...... This moat has become the protection of the enemy, and if the pontoon bridge is not built, the enemy soldiers will not be deceived into the moat, and if the enemy army does not come, the stone cannons on the city that can beat flying stones for a hundred paces by the height of the city wall will be useless.

It's so painful and happy!

"General, it's better to lure the enemy, let half of the archers hide behind the battlements, there are fewer arrows on the city, and the pressure on the enemy will naturally be greatly reduced. Hearing Guo Jia's words, Yan Bei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Fight back with the left curve, hide the right curve, and then return fire at the enemy army after listening to my order!" ”

In this way, the pressure under the city was greatly reduced, but up and down, the enemy army who fired arrows at the city was significantly less, Yanbei looked down at the battlements, and the enemy army was in full swing to fill the river, filled the soil and stones with cloth bags, and threw them directly into the river...... Not to mention anything else, Goguryeo's method of filling the moat is really good!

This is also the advantage of Goguryeo Daega. In the Goguryeo Kingdom, Daega's status was like the combination of the Han people's powerful and noble clans, who owned vast fields and numerous slaves, participated in politics and gained a strong position in the country through their clans. Even speaking, the power of any of the five Goguryeo tribes is not weaker than the control of Yanbei, the largest tycoon in Youdong, over the people in the territory.

Because Yanbei's subordinates, except for the field soldiers, are all free people; And Goguryeo Daga's subordinates, from the soldiers to the people, are all slaves.

They decide what they want, and they do it very quickly.

However, Yanbei didn't have time to care about their form in the country, and seeing that the enemy army under the city was crowded, he hurriedly sent an order: "Wave the order flag, and order Zhao Yun to attack; Open the suspension bridge at the south gate and let the regents go out of the city to defeat the enemy army! ”

The purpose of Yanbei is not only to repel them, but also to maximize the killing and damage of the enemy's vital forces, and it is best to defeat the enemy army in the next battle, that is once and for all!

Otherwise, if you just repel it, it will do you nothing but give the enemy generals a boost.

With the banner of the order unfurled, Yan Bei quickly ran to the corner of the two city walls in the southeast, carefully dodging the arrows and looking in the direction of the sleeping tiger's mouth. The battle under the city continued, with the roar of the drawbridge falling to the ground, the city gate opened, thousands of Han warriors shouted and rushed out, the soldiers in front of the city from the city gate shot the stunned Goguryeo soldiers with crossbows, and the Han soldiers behind them rushed into the enemy formation with a rain of arrows and a ring knife.

Those Goguryeo soldiers who carried earth and stones were the opponents of such wolf-like Han warriors, many of them even carried earth and stones on their shoulders, and they were cut into two knots by Han warriors before they could even pull out their swords, and the battle on the broken bridge was once tragic.

Just as Lu Yi raised his spear and shouted to urge his subordinates to improve, Sleeping Tiger finally received the order from the head of the city, accompanied by a large cloud of smoke and dust, thousands of crack formations rode straight to the enemy's belly and back under the command of Zhao Yun, like a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's heart.

The soldiers of the front army did not expect that the Han army would suddenly come out of the city, and immediately retreated but were blocked by the soldiers behind them, and the soldiers of the rear army were repeatedly charged by Zhao Yun's Zhongjia cavalry, and there was a gap in the formation between the people and horses, and they could not resist the enemy at all.

The besieging army in the eastern part of the castle apparently knew the news of the attack on the southern part of the city, and in a hurry, the sergeants of the various divisions abandoned the eastern part of the castle and turned to the southern part of the castle to support.

Yan Bei's hanging heart was put down, he exhaled deeply, waved his hand and straightened his arm, and shouted to the defenders in the east of the city: "Put the suspension bridge, Dian Wei will fight...... Stone cannons, rain of arrows, salvos! ”

In the rain of arrows shot in the sky, more than ten stone cannons erected in the east of the city roared, and the boulders flew like the enemy's dense formation under the projectile, plowing out blood ** gullies on the ground.

With the roar of Yanbei in the city, in the smoke and dust of the suspension bridge in the east of the city, the huge body of Dian Wei with a helmet and armor appeared, carrying two large iron halberds and pointing at the enemy and shouting: "Soldiers, charge with Dian and capture the enemy general!" ”
