Chapter 2036 Ming Card
"The army attacks the city! The whole army attacks!"
"All parties are forming, attack!"
"Kill!"
"Catapult, release!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"The crossbow camp is ready, release!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ahhhh~"
Countless slings and arrows flew back and forth in the air, dust flew everywhere, and countless screams followed.
This is Shuozhou, the front line of Shuofeng City.
The densely packed infantry of the Yan army climbed up the rock wall along the city wall. They climbed up desperately against the strong bows and crossbows of the Liang army. There were endless roars:
"Attack, kill, kill them all for me!"
"Don't be timid, come to me!"
"Kill..."
Since the last battle of Shuofeng, the siege of Shuofeng City has become even more brutal.
After all, a piece of the city wall collapsed. Although it was urgently reinforced by the Mohists, it still gave Yan Jun a feeling that it was far worse than before.
In addition, the defenders of Shuofeng City were reduced to seventy-eight, and their strength was greatly reduced. Therefore, the Yan army regarded this place as the center of gravity for the attack on Beiliang, and continued to increase their offensive efforts.
The Dong E family even saw the hope of breaking through the city and entering the pass, and almost spent all their money to send tens of thousands of private soldiers, all of whom devoted themselves to the siege.
The Liang army and the Yan army were fighting on every section of the city wall of Shuofeng City, and you couldn't escape even if the arrows flew close to your scalp.
We can only grit our teeth and fight bloody battles, constantly filling the city with people.
This kind of investment regardless of losses is extremely rare among the five tribes of Yanrong.
Private soldiers are the property of major families, and their current status depends on these well-trained and well-armed family armed forces.
Once all the elite private soldiers are lost, the family's status will be shaken.
Of course, the old patriarch of the Dong E clan knows that as long as the Dong E family can take the lead in opening up the situation in Shuofeng City, today's losses will become insignificant compared with future gains.
If you win, you will have everything~
Liang Jun managed to get more than 10,000 infantrymen to guard Shuofeng City after draining the garrison within the territory. In addition, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the original garrison in the city could barely manage 20,000 to 30,000 people. They needed to resist hard.
A fierce attack by hundreds of thousands of Yan troops.
I don't know when this brutal siege will end.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Kill!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahhhhh`"
In front of the Yan Army formation, the coach Tuoba Hong came to the formation in person to supervise the battle as before, but his face was still very weak, his body had no strength, and his armor was still wrapped with bandages.
In that day's battle, Tuoba Hong almost died in the hands of Zhu Tianhe, which also knocked a lot of energy out of the chest of this warrior on the grassland.
Defeat is not a shame, and losing at the hands of veteran general Zhu Tianhe is not a shame, but a carefully planned battle that must be won was thwarted by the Liang army, which Tuoba Hong has always found hard to accept.
In order to fight this battle, the Yan army's elite troops were mobilized, and tens of thousands of cavalry poured into Shuofeng City. However, they were blocked by the heavy armored battalion of the Liang army and were unable to advance in the city.
Tuoba Hong will never forget the scene where corpses were strewn in front of the shield wall of the heavy-armored battalion. Those who fell were all the most elite cavalrymen in his prairie.
For the first time, a question appeared in Tuoba Hong's mind:
Faced with such Liangdi border troops and such an army that would fight to the death, could he really set foot on the Central Plains in his lifetime?
No one knows~
Tuoba Hong looked melancholy, but Dong Emulang whispered softly from the side:
Site: Tower ^ reads novels, welcome to download - ^
"General, relax. Look, more and more of our soldiers are rushing to the top of the city. In my opinion, the city will be destroyed in just a few days."
Tuoba Hong murmured:
"Is it so easy~"
Indeed, hundreds of Yan troops are now rushing to the city to fight hand-to-hand with the Liang troops. There are more and more soldiers coming to the city these days, but it seems that sooner or later they will be blocked by the Liang troops.
The Liang army fights without risking their lives~
Dong Emulang said confidently:
"General, you have to believe in the combat prowess of my prairie man. Besides, the 30,000 private soldiers of my Dong E family just arrived at the front line a few days ago. It won't be long before the Liang army can't hold on anymore~"
With the support of the family's elite private soldiers, the young patriarch of the Dong E clan has greatly increased his confidence. As long as he attacks Shuofeng City, the Dong E family may be able to leap into the top of the five clans in the future.
Isn’t it beautiful?
Tuoba Hong said no more, raised his eyes to the city head, and murmured:
"I hope so~ This battle has been going on for too long."
…
Dusk, dusk, sunset
The gloomy sunset light swept across the earth along with the cold wind, making the bloody battlefield even more tragic.
The day's siege came to an end temporarily, and the Yan army retreated like a tide, leaving behind hundreds of corpses as usual.
Although it is winter, the Yan army's offensive shows no sign of weakening. Mu Yun Canglan is determined to capture Shuofeng City before the New Year.
The soldiers of the Liang Army on the top of the city were busy cleaning the battlefield. The bodies of their slain comrades were transported to the bottom of the city. The broken bows and crossbows were also piled aside. They also had to carry new weapons up to the city in preparation for the siege tomorrow.
use.
Nowadays, all those with minor injuries cannot leave the firing line. Those who see them are bandaged and then continue fighting. Only those with missing arms and legs can be carried to the wounded camp for treatment.
Xue Tian was walking around the city with a scimitar full of blood. Seeing that this guy looked a little tired, it was obvious that he had personally participated in the battle to defend the city. There was blood on his armor.
Not only that, even the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the cavalrymen from Shuofeng Camp dismounted and participated in the fierce offensive and defensive battle.
At this point in the battle, all available troops in Shuofeng City were dispatched, and the people in the city also moved to the rear during this period.
Now this Shuofeng City is completely a hell on earth, only killing is left.
Yan Hongyi, Li Muhan and other generals gathered around Xue Tian involuntarily. They looked at the retreating Yan army in the distance with sharp eyes.
Everyone no longer discusses how long the Shuofeng City can be defended. Anyway, it is a day to defend. If you can kill a barbarian, you will make a profit.
Just like what Xue Tian said on the day he arrived at Shuofeng City:
Tens of thousands of defenders are stuck here like nails. If the Yan army wants to pass, they will have to break their front teeth!
Yan Hongyi licked his chapped lips and whispered:
"The Dong E family's private soldiers have come up in the past few days, and their combat power is much stronger than those ordinary infantry."
Li Muhan laughed:
"Dong E's family is risking their fortune to break into our Shuozhou~"
"snort."
Xue Tian snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that the Dong E family's teeth are not good and they will spit out something if they can't eat meat~"
Several people's faces turned gloomy.
"Report!"
A hurried shout came to the ears of the three of them. A Liang Jun wearing a crossbowman's uniform quickly walked up to the group of people, cupped his fists and shouted:
"Report! An urgent order from King Liang!"
The eyes of several people lit up at the same time. Xue Tian quickly took the military report and read it for a few times, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
"What's wrong? What did the prince say?" Several people asked with some confusion.
Xue Tian looked towards the outside of the city and said with a ferocious smile:
Chapter completed!
