Chapter 243: Breaking the Barrier (Part II)

"Shoot!"

Listening only to the sound of "poof", suddenly the people under the city fell to the ground, many of them were blurred with flesh and blood, and their bodies were thick bloody wounds through which arrows had pierced, and some people were not dead for a while, but just rolled to the ground and screamed miserably.

The people of the city were so frightened that they turned around and fled back screaming.

At this moment, a commander of a thousand commands gave an awe-inspiring order: "Release!"

The prepared thousand horsemen all bent their bows and shots, and the people who fled back suddenly were all shot "crackling", and a large number of them died in an instant, and many people were bleeding profusely, covering the bloody wounds and falling to the ground screaming.

Wang Hongyi is here, and he will definitely think of the scenes written by many ignorant and weak writers in his previous life - he can't do anything in the face of the people.

However, in history, whether in China or abroad, there has never been an army that did not shoot at the people.

There has not been a single record of the millions of wars in human history.

On a high platform, several people stood on it.

The first person, with golden armor and golden helmets, looked at the city in the distance and was silent.

From his point of view, he could naturally clearly see that a large number of Han people, driven by the cavalry, were constantly rushing towards the city.

A wave of people died under the indiscriminate arrows, and another rushed up.

At this time, it is difficult to say that in order to survive, it is only the difference between late death and early death, and at this time, the people are numb and want to climb up, want to rush into the city.

Originally, near the Yushan Pass, there was a river that was very wide, and the water was more turbulent in this season, but there were constantly Han people rushing into it, and gradually there were more floating corpses in the river, and finally there were enough to fill the river with a road.

Stepping on the corpses of their compatriots, the people continued to rush towards the fishing mountain.

These Han people are constantly consuming the arrows and stones of the defenders of Yushan, as well as their morale, looking at this scene, Aciuda can't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

"Great Khan, these Han people have filled the river just with dead bodies, have you sent our warriors over to attack the city?" Ji Bald looked at this scene in the distance, and then asked.

"No, let these Han people continue to attack, even if it can cost an extra bow and arrow, a lot of strength, there are 20,000 Han people driven this time, why leave one, drive them all up, and when they are dead, while the defenders are tired, our warriors will attack again!" Aciuda laughed, shaking his head.

Acieuda's capital is much stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the earth, with thousands of households now, all the men in the clan, and an army of ten thousand blades.

However, there is only that, this time Aciuda pro-conquest alone, only 70,000, the two princes each received 20,000, there are always some men who want to stay in the grassland to keep breeding and manage cattle and sheep, now those who go out, one dies and one less, the grassland warriors are all precious, how can they die at will?

Ji Vulture obeyed the order, only to see 70,000 cavalry, a formation of formations, converged into one, looking down from the city, a sea of cavalry, under the sun, densely packed, waiting for the arrival of the real charge.

As time passed, there were more and more dead bodies under the city.

At this time, another group of Han people, driven by the Hu cavalry, pushed the giant tree and crashed towards the city gate.

One, two, three.

But in the blink of an eye, he was shot.

It's just that after the death of this group of Han people, some people continued to crash towards the city gate under the drive of cavalry.

Finally, 20,000 people died.

The blood gathered into a large area, and even for a short time, it turned into a river, and the corpses that were horizontal and vertical fluctuated slightly in the red river, showing various postures.

"The enemy soldiers are exhausted and their supplies are exhausted. Seeing this, Ashuda raised his long knife and gave the order: "Siege!"

With his order, tens of thousands of Hu people's troops, pushing siege vehicles, rushed towards the city.

The county seat of Yuyang County

Inside the Taishou Mansion, the atmosphere is very depressing.

Taishou Li Bao was anxious at this time, sitting on the upper seat, looking worried.

Fifty miles away, at the Yushan checkpoint, the Hu army has begun to attack the city, although it is the Han people who take the lead, but the battle reports continue to come, which makes these people in the council hall feel more and more upset and irritable.

100,000 Hu troops are eyeing each other, and it is really hard to say whether this city can be defended and how many days it can be held.

In the hall, there were more than a dozen people discussing at this time, except for Li Bao, the Taishou who was sitting on the top, they were all officials in the city.

These officials are usually dignified and calm, but at this time they are all sluggish.

Li Bao sat on it, looking at the officials below who had lost their ideas, and his face became gloomy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, up to now, everyone must think about it! There are less than 20,000 defenders in Yuyang City, but there are 100,000 Hu troops outside, and the most hateful thing is that the Hu people drive the people everywhere to attack the city, so that they can continue to attack like this, not only is this Yuyang City difficult to protect, but I am afraid that this county will be ten rooms and nine empty!"

"My lord, I don't know when the commander will be able to send the rescue troops? The reinforcements have been delayed, and if the defenders in the city only rely on the defenders in the city to defend the city, it will not be enough to repel the Hu army. Seeing that Li Bao's face was getting more and more ugly, he knew that if he didn't speak again, he was afraid that this Taishou Lord would be angry, so an official simply asked.

"Duan Hong, what do you have?" Thinking of this, Li Bao immediately looked at Duan Hong, who was standing below, and asked with a frown.

On the same day, Duan Hong was sent to report to the marshal for help, but he couldn't invite reinforcements in time, which made Li Bao have some trouble with this person, and when he asked, his tone was a little dissatisfied.

As soon as Duan Hong heard Taishou's words, he knew that Lord Taishou was a little dissatisfied with him.

But he was also wronged, he did go to Dashuai to ask for help that day, and Dashuai also agreed, yes, how can he influence this?

Directly said what he wanted to say, I was afraid that Taishou would immediately order someone to drag him out, after thinking about it, Duan Hong considered the words and said: "My lord, although there are not many defenders in Yuyang, there are many big households in the city, let them allocate some guards from each household, presumably, if they get together, there can be 3,000 people, and recruit men in the city, plus the army in the city, the total number can be 50,000, which can be blocked for a while, and then the reinforcements of the marshal should also arrive." ”

When Taishou Li Bao heard this, his face softened slightly: "What you said is right, this is the truth." In that case, it's up to you to do it. ”

"No. Duan Hong was slightly relieved at this point. Angry, I know that Taishou is not going to continue to pursue it.

As for getting a big family out, it's not a difficult task.

First of all, the Hu people don't treat the Han people as human beings at all, and they will slaughter villages and cities wherever they pass, who can not be afraid?

And Taishou has a lot of prestige in Yuyang, and the big family is familiar with him, as long as he tells them the benefits and disadvantages after the city is broken, they will definitely agree.

"That's the little one. Duan Hong responded.

"Let's go. Li Baozi hoped that this matter would be done as soon as possible, and when Duan Hong stepped out, he had already begun to arrange the next city defenses.

Out of the conference hall, the butler of the Duan Mansion had already greeted him, and hurriedly said, "Master, Madame is waiting for you at home, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss with you!"

Duan Hong said impatiently: "She wants to get out of the city, right? Let her go a few days earlier, she refuses to go, although the fishing mountain is not broken now, but there are already many Hu people outside the city scattered and surrounded by horses, where is the success of leaving? Let her wait first, how easy is this city to be breached? The reinforcements of the marshal will come soon, so she doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Yes, the little one will go back and tell Madame. The butler said hurriedly.

"Well, go, you go back and tell Madame, and say that I will go home in a while, and then I will talk to her in detail" ,... Someone else followed me to Mr. Zhang's house. ”

"No!"

There were three people in the entourage, except for the housekeeper who rode back to report the news, and the other two followed the carriage and went to Zhang Dahu's house in the east of the city with Duan Hong.

Zhang's mansion covers an area of not small, it is a very conspicuous mansion in the east of the city, when Duan Hong went, Zhang's mansion was in chaos, and many slaves were packing their luggage.

"Ah, isn't this Lord Duan?" the butler hurriedly came out to greet him when he heard the report.

Duan Hong didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I was ordered by Taishou to come to see your master, take me to see him." ”

‘“...... Well, please come with the little ones. "Although the house is already in chaos, the other party came with the order of the Taishou, and it is not easy to stop it, so the housekeeper has to take Duan Hong and walk inside.

In the living room, let him wait here, and the housekeeper went to report to Master Zhang.

It didn't take long for Master Zhang, who was a little bloated, to walk in from outside.

"Lord Duan, I heard that you came to see me on the orders of Lord Taishou?" Master Zhang's face was a little haggard, and he could see that Hu Junbing was coming to the city, which had a great impact on him.

Duan Hong didn't hide it, and directly explained his intentions, and finally pointed out the situation: "Master Zhang also heard that this Hu people's methods are very cruel, and wherever they passed, the local people were slaughtered, and if they really let them attack the city, where would the people live? Not to mention the big families in the city." ”

"As for the escape, it was okay a few days earlier, although the fishing mountain is not broken now, but with ten or a hundred cavalry, it has long been interspersed and bypassed, and going out is to send death. ”

When Master Zhang heard this, his face turned pale and he was silent for a while

Originally, there was some hope, but now it has been shattered, but he also understands that Duan Hong's words are not alarmist, and he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Since this is the case, I will transfer out two hundred courtyards to assist Taishou in defending the city!"

"Master Zhang really understands the righteousness!" Hearing this, Duan Hong was very happy.

At the same time that Master Zhang sent people to gather the courtyard, Duan Hong took people to meet other big families in the city, and in just half a day, two thousand people had been organized, although the courtyard was not a regular army, it was much stronger than the people, and it had weapons, and it was also trained on weekdays, so it had a certain combat effectiveness.

After handing over to Taishou Li Bao, the matter of transferring troops and sending generals had nothing to do with Duan Hong.

During this period, Duan Hong went back to Duan's mansion again, but what he saw was Mrs. Duan who was crying in a panic, at this time he was already depressed, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel more and more depressed in his heart.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know to cry!" Duan Hong couldn't help but scold: "Whether this city will be breached, it is not yet known, what are you crying about? What's more, you listened to other people's words that day, and refused to leave, since this is the case, what are you crying about now?"

Mrs. Duan had words of suffering, but she was just crying.

How did she know that Yuyang City would not be able to defend it, she had already known it, how could she stay here and be afraid?

"That's it, that's it, don't cry anymore. Yuyang is a county town, and this city can't be defended. How can there be a peaceful place in this Youzhou? This world is in chaos, it is really fate, and it is a dead word to flee to wherever it goes! Stay in the mansion well, pack up some gold and silver, and if the city is really broken, take advantage of the chaos to escape!" Duan Hong said and left the mansion.

In fact, for the situation in Yuyang, Duan Hong had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

It's just that as I said to my wife just now, in troubled times, where is peace?

If Yuyang really can't hold it, I'm afraid that the entire Youzhou will soon fall under the iron hooves of the Hu people, right?
