Chapter 2038 Empty City
"Kill!"
"Pffffffffffff~"
"Ahhhh~"
The two armies fought against each other in the heavy snow without any intention of stopping. The fight lasted until noon. The battle was extremely fierce.
Snowflakes and blood mixed with each other on the ground, one red and one white, which looked very inconsistent no matter how you looked at it.
The Yan army tried their best to climb the city. The Liang army hacked one to death and climbed up two more. It seemed that they could not finish the kill no matter how hard they tried. The palms of some Yan soldiers were so cold that they could not even hold their swords and were still being beaten.
The generals behind him urged him to climb upward.
Tuoba Hong issued a death order to the generals at all levels. Naturally, these generals had to force their soldiers to fight to the death without retreating even a step.
Gradually, the infantry of the Yan army in twos and threes began to climb up to the top of the city, and they fought hand-to-hand with the Liang army. The fighting methods changed from crossbows, wood sticks, and rolling stones to hand-to-hand combat, and the Yan army who climbed up to the top of the city were still there.
Keep getting more.
"drink!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Chichi~"
"Ah~"
Although the Yan army can climb the city every day, the time of climbing the city today seems to be much earlier than before. I wonder if this means that the Liang army is exhausted.
This scene naturally fell into Tuoba Hong's eyes. From the beginning of the war to now, Tuoba Hong has been supervising the battle in the military formation, always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation.
When he saw someone rushing to the top of the city, Tuoba Hong frowned and muttered subconsciously:
"Look, Liang's army is exhausted and they can't hold it anymore!"
Dong Emulang, who was on the side, was also happy. Although he simply climbed onto the city in advance, this reflected the situation of the two sides' ebb and flow.
During these three days of siege warfare, they discovered a problem. The available troops of the Liang Army seemed to be getting less and less, and they had lost a lot of veterans who could fight, and there were no follow-up reinforcements at all.
Dong Emulang's eyes were bright and he said softly: "General Tuoba, maybe we can really break the city today~"
"Not to be missed!"
Tuoba Hong shouted coldly and decisively:
"Come on, play the drums!
Add five more siege phalanxes, and I will attack wherever the Liang army is weak!
Tell the catapult phalanx that the impact point of the catapults extends far away and hit the city hard! Prevent the Liang Army cavalry from entering the city to rescue and disrupt their logistics!
Also, let the cavalry form up quickly. Once the city gate is captured by us, the cavalry will rush into the city as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to delay for a moment will be killed immediately!"
"promise!"
The messengers who had been guarding both sides of the general platform rushed out and spread Tuoba Hong's military orders in all directions.
Tuoba Hong's eyes were bright, and now he had a hunch in his heart that it was very possible to capture Shuofeng City today!
"Boom! Boom!"
"Dong dong dong!"
Intensive drum beats sounded again, and flags of command were waved continuously in the military formation. Soon, five more infantry phalanxes swept out from the formation and flew towards the city wall with a majestic momentum.
A siege phalanx of the Yan Army basically consists of about 500 people. After the phalanx is disabled, it will be mixed with other phalanxes to ensure a siege force of about 500 people as much as possible.
With the addition of 2,500 fresh troops, the Yan army's attack on the city became even more fierce, and the roars became louder and louder.
Seeing this situation, Dong Emulang clenched his fist and shouted in a deep voice:
"Someone's coming!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go to the army and select five hundred dead soldiers. Each of them will be rewarded with a reward of ten taels. The leader of the clan will pay for it himself!
Tell the soldiers to capture Shuofeng City and there will be a heavy reward!"
"promise!"
Tuoba Hong glanced at Dong Emulang in surprise and thought that this young patriarch really spent a lot of money. This was five thousand taels of gold. Only Dong Emulang's status could afford such a large sum. Tuoba Hong couldn't afford it anyway.
come out.
Tuoba Hong always distributed whatever rewards he had to his subordinates in large and small amounts, rarely keeping anything private for himself, and it was precisely because of this that he was loved by the soldiers.
Dong Emulang understood the meaning in Tuoba Hong's eyes, grinned and said:
"Besides the great reward, there must be a brave man!"
Tuoba Hong smiled knowingly:
"Then let's wait and see!"
…
"Dong dong dong!"
"Kill!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Ahhhh~"
The siege battle intensified, and more and more Yan soldiers climbed up to the top of the city. They were holding knives on both sides and facing each other in the heavy snow, fighting for every inch of the city wall.
The resistance on the Liang Army's side was somewhat reluctant. They could always hold on to one side but missed the other side. It was obvious to the naked eye that the troops could not be mobilized.
This situation greatly boosted the morale of the Yan army. After two years of siege, the Yan army knew clearly that the Liang army would not be able to hold on for long!
At this time, another phalanx emerged from the Yan army's formation. The soldiers in the formation had their bare arms in the cold winter, and only had a light soft armor covering their chests. The black heads were rushing rapidly under the cover of bows and crossbows.
Approach the city wall, and then start climbing the city along the ladder and wheel.
Just by looking at the quick steps and stature of this group of people, you can tell that they are elites, and each and every one of them has a fearless expression on their face, with a fierce look in their eyes.
These were the dead men selected by Dong Emulang from the family's private soldiers under the huge reward of gold. These people had just stuffed ten taels of gold into their pockets.
Twelve taels is enough for these ordinary people to live for a lifetime, enough to make them risk their lives!
One or two, ten or twenty...
More and more dead soldiers jumped into the city wall along the ladder. Due to the continuous close combat, the power of the Liang army's crossbows was greatly reduced, allowing these Yan soldiers to climb up the city almost unscathed. The next step is
It's time for these dead warriors to fight tooth and nail.
"Kill!"
One of the leading captains roared, brandishing a machete and rushed towards the nearest soldier.
This Liang soldier had been fighting for a long time and was exhausted. How could he withstand such a powerful and heavy blow? In the end, he was chopped down by the captain of the Yan army with a knife. The blade cut his chest from left to right, and blood flowed freely.
It was spraying and the scene was very miserable.

The captain of the Yan army who succeeded in the attack roared with a ferocious face:
"Brothers, the young patriarch has prepared countless gold and silver for us. It depends on whether our brothers are capable of taking it and killing it for me!"
"Kill!"
The elite dead soldiers rushed towards the place where the Liang army was densely populated with red eyes. They wanted to use their lives to hold off the Liang army and allow more of their comrades to climb up the city.
"The Yan army is coming! Stop them!"
"Kill!"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Ahhh!"
The battle on the top of the city suddenly reached a fever pitch due to the participation of these dead soldiers. Soldiers from both sides rushed into the battle circle with red eyes, brandishing their swords and roaring, completely disregarding their personal life and death.
"Haha! I'm coming up!"
A Yan soldier who had just jumped into the city was laughing wildly, with an extremely excited expression on his face.
"Pfft~"
Before the laughter could stop, a Beiliang knife stabbed his chest from behind.
Li Muhan's stern face appeared on the battlefield, and he waved his sword and shouted angrily:
"Brothers, fight with Yan Thief!"
