The Wei assault troops rushed to the city wall in one go, and the two sides immediately fell into a fierce hand-to-hand fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At first, the Jin army did not seem to have woken up from the earth-shattering artillery fire that had preceded it, and was defeated and retreated under the fierce offensive of the Wei army.

At the most critical moment, Barsky and his generals personally led the reserve army to rush to the front line of the city wall, and inspired by this, the Jin army began to launch a fierce counterattack.

The battle entered a stalemate, the battle situation was extremely tragic, the soldiers of both sides exchanged their lives for their lives, fought to the death, and the Jin army marched into an unprecedented combat effectiveness under the inspiration of defending the homeland.

A Jin soldier roared angrily, "Long live Dajin!" The scimitar in his hand stabbed into the chest of a Wei soldier in front of him.

The Wei soldiers glared at each other with their eyes and roared angrily: "Long live the Great Wei Empire!" The barrier knife pierced the opponent's chest with a momentum of no return!

A Wei army obstacle knife warrior into the enemy army, wielding the obstacle knife to slash several enemy soldiers, a gun stabbed from behind, pierced the abdomen of the obstacle knife warrior, the obstacle knife warrior frowned, cut off the gun with a backhand, and then turned around and slashed the golden soldier who had not yet arrived, almost at the same time, another golden soldier held a scimitar and howled and rushed up, with a crazy face, slashed suddenly, the blood flashed, and the scimitar cut into the chest of the horizontal knife warrior.

The golden soldier howled and pushed the barrier warrior towards the city wall, he wanted to push the barrier warrior off the city wall, seeing that the barrier warrior was about to be pushed off the city wall, the blade warrior's eyes flashed with absolute color, and his left hand grabbed the opponent's shirt and shouted: "Die together!" Both fell from the wall at the same time.

The fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Jin finally squeezed the Wei army off the city wall after paying a very heavy price.

Just when the Wei soldiers were about to continue the attack, the war drums in the rear sounded loudly, and the Wei soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and then retreated like a flood at a receding tide.

Seeing that the Wei army suddenly retreated, the soldiers of the Jin army didn't understand what was going on for a while. "Not good! The enemy is going to attack with a catapult!! Balsky exclaimed.

As soon as the words fell, an earth-shattering loud bang rang out, and the entire city wall was instantly submerged in a ball of gunsmoke and fire, and the soldiers of the Jin Army who had not had time to dodge were blown up by artillery fire, which was unbearable.

The shelling lasted nearly two quarters of an hour, and the war drums of the Wei army sounded loudly again, and at the same time the flags were danced.

The 20,000 servant army composed of the Western Regions chariot division army left the large array and rushed towards the city wall.

After a few moments, the catapults stopped firing, and the chariot minions rushed towards the walls under the cover of crossbowmen.

The Cheshi servant army charged along the cannonball-blown city wall, and the other army attacked along the ladder, but the attack power of the Cheshi servant army was not comparable to the attack of the Fourth Army just now, and they were soon driven down by the Jin army, which was determined to fight to the death.

Zhao Yun and the other generals of the Wei army couldn't help but frown and shook their heads, the commander of the Che Shi army was flushed, and the other client state armies looked gloating.

"General, let's let our main army go up!" General Zhao Tuo suggested.

Zhao Yun glanced at the dilapidated city wall and shook his head, "That's it for today!" Command all armies, collect troops and return to the camp! ”

"No!"

As the Wei army slowly retreated, the soldiers of the Jin army on the city wall could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and many sat down on the spot and gasped for breath, and Barsky ordered the soldiers to repair the city wall on the spot immediately.

Barsky and his generals returned to the Zhizhi Station, took off their robes covered with blood and dust, and Barsky said in a deep voice: "The combat effectiveness of the Wei army is still as strong as ever, but on the first day, the city wall almost missed!" ”

After a moment of silence, he asked, "How many catapults do we have available?" ”

A subordinate general replied with a gloomy face: "General, our catapult has basically been destroyed by the Wei army!" ”

"Damn! I shouldn't have agreed to move most of the catapults to the west in the first place! Do they think that the Wei people will not attack?! Balsky couldn't help but scold.

"What are the losses of our army today?" Balsky asked.

A subordinate general replied: "Our army has 16,000 dead and wounded, of which almost 10,000 were killed, and a considerable part of them were killed by the opponent's catapults!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but sink, they lost 16,000 in a day, and if it goes on like this, how many days can it be supported?

"What about the enemy?" Balsky asked in a deep voice.

The general replied: "The Wei army's losses are estimated to be only about 10,000 people!" More than half of them are, the other party's servant army! ”

The scene fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

A subordinate general said: "General, according to the current situation, it is impossible for our army to hold it!" Why don't you retreat! ”

The generals couldn't help but feel their hearts moved, but Barsky asked rhetorically: "Retreat? Where to retreat? How to retreat? Now we are surrounded by the Wei Legion! If we leave this city, our army can only be easily annihilated by the other side! ”

Seeing that everyone's expressions were shaken, he said in a deep voice: "Think about how the iron cavalry of the Wei army raged in the empire that day!" Think of the heroism they showed to our two elite legions beneath the Imperial Capital! Can't we do that today in order to defend our homeland? ”

The generals couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and a kind of blood buried in the bottom of their hearts boiled, and they said together: "Swear to defend the dignity of the empire to the death!" ”

Everyone's eyes widened, and an atmosphere of pride permeated the chamber.

Barsky stood up and said in a deep voice: "Good! Our goal today is not to defend South Siberia, but to die in South Siberia! ”

"Hooray!!" Everyone shouted together.

Wei Junshuai's account.

Zhao Yun listened to Zhao Tuo's battle report, nodded, glanced at the generals under his account, and saw that the general of the Cheshi Army, Lemeng, had a look of shame on his face, so he said: "General Lemeng, you don't have to be annoyed by today's performance!" ”

Le Meng said ashamedly: "General, let my army be the main attack tomorrow!" If you don't take the city, you are willing to accept military law! ”

"Good! Tomorrow, the Cheshi Army will be the main attack! Zhao Yun decided without hesitation.

Lemon couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him, and the other generals of the servant state glanced at Lemon, with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Zhao Yun glanced at the generals of the servant army, and said: "From today on, whoever takes a first rank will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and those who rush to the city wall first will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and give me the title of Great Wei!" The greater the merit, the greater the reward, by the standards of the Imperial Army! ”

It should be explained here that although the armies of the Western Regions countries are all regarded as the servant armies of the Wei army, they are not included in the reward and punishment system of the Wei army, in other words, even if these servant armies have made military achievements, they will not be rewarded by the empire, which is also one of the reasons for the low combat effectiveness of these servant armies.
