Chapter 931 Fighting the Sirius (2)
The Yan army's fierce offensive lasted for three full days, and the heavy reward was indeed effective. Those Yan army infantry became desperate in fighting. In the past, they were still a little afraid of the Liang army's fierce fighting power, but Now they only have eyes for the thousand taels of gold.
The city defenses at Tianlang Pass seemed to be loosened, and gradually the Yan army was able to board the city and start close combat with the Liang army. This was undoubtedly a huge victory.
"General Tuoba, good news. Two thousand-man troops have already attacked the city today and almost gained a foothold. If the Liang army hadn't counterattacked quickly, my army would have been able to enter the Tianlang Pass at this moment." Shan Lin said to Tuoba Hong with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, I knew that the officers and soldiers of our Yan Army were all good men." The sadness on Tuoba Hong's brows was finally gone.
"If Tianlang Pass is captured and the gate of Youzhou is opened, it will not be empty talk for our army and horses to march into the interior of Beiliang." Tu Danlin was also beaming with joy.
He was wondering if it was time to send his own private army to fight. If the first army to attack Tianlang Pass were from the Tu Shan family, they would be extremely shameless in front of His Majesty.
Ever since Mu Yunduankang became the crown prince, the Tushan family has been suppressed. This is a good opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty.
Tuoba Hong waved his hand and said: "Send more people tomorrow and try to attack in one go!"
"No!" Tu Danlin shouted with his fists clasped.
…
In the early morning, more than 20,000 Yan troops broke out of camp and went straight to Tianlang Pass City.
The Yan army, composed mainly of 8,000 elite soldiers, stormed the north gate of Tianlang Pass. More than 6,000 soldiers were stationed at each of the east and west gates. There were also more than 5,000 cavalry stationed outside the north gate, ready to respond to the offensive of the three gates. .
This time the siege was even more rapid than the previous two days, because these Yan troops seemed to see the precarious situation of the Tianlang Pass defense line, and the one thousand taels of gold was the horn calling them to ascend the city.
"Kill~"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Bang bang bang~"
The Yan army attacked the city one after another, and gradually a group of 100 infantry phalanx climbed to the top of the city and began a close hand-to-hand fight with the Liang army.
"Dang Dang Dang."
"Pfft~"
A Liang Jun general who was responsible for guarding the north gate held a bloody sword in his hand and rushed left and right in the crowd. The scimitar slashed across the Yan Jun's throat and pulled out a long bloody mark. After struggling to kill, After three people, the infantry of the Yan Army were finally beheaded, and their corpses were piled all over the city.
However, what this resulted in was a more ferocious attack by the Yan army on the city. The battle at the north gate of the three city walls was the most intense. The two sides fought fiercely on several sections of the city wall, repeatedly competing for every inch of land, and the battle was tense.
Cao Wenzhao sat in the watchtower holding a scimitar, closing his eyes and saying nothing, as if he had not heard the shouts of killing so close at hand.
A captain walked quickly to Cao Wenzhao and whispered a few words in his ear.
Cao Wenzhao suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Instruct the guards at each city gate to act according to the prior plan."
"promise!"
Seeing the captain turn and leave, Cao Wenzhao stood up with a big sword, stretched his waist casually, and said softly: "Do you really think that our city defense at Tianlang Pass is so easy to break through?"
…
The battle lasted for a whole day, and more and more Yan army infantry boarded the North City Gate, but there was still no progress in the war in the east and west.
Compared to the North Gate, there were not many Yan troops on the east and west sides, so the progress of the war was not very satisfactory.
At dusk, according to past habits, the Yan army should have retreated, but until now, there has still been no clarion call to retreat from the Yan army's formation.
There is no doubt that the Yan army plans to fight bloody battles all day and night today.
Tu Shanlin was stationed in the cavalry formation, with a flash of color in his eyes. Behind him were thousands of cavalrymen who were supporting the infantry to attack the city, their machetes blazing.
He could see that the defenders on the north wall were at the end of their game. As long as they knocked out their last breath, victory would belong to him.
"Come here!" Tu Danlin waved gently.
"General, what are your orders?" A messenger came to Tu Shanlin's side on Pegasus.
"Transmit an order, the army in Beicheng no longer needs to hold back. The soldiers who have just been rotated out will all climb the city. As long as they can still move, they will all join the battle. Tell all the generals and generals in the army not to care about casualties. Victory is close at hand. We will not be defeated today.
City, the army will not stop fighting!"
"promise!"
Tu Shanlin murmured softly: "Whether we win or lose depends on how hard we give it tonight."
…
The two armies were fighting fiercely on the north wall. Nearly a thousand Yan troops had already climbed onto the city wall and rushed towards the Liang army.
The crossbowmen who were originally focused on firing arrows outside the city had to join the battle. As the power of the crossbows on the city head gradually weakened, it became easier for the Yan army outside the city to climb the city.
Finally, the Liang army general, who was covered in blood and carrying a big sword, shouted with all his strength: "Retreat! The army retreats!"
The infantry of the Liang army, which had been struggling for a long time, no longer persisted, but surged towards the bottom of the city like a tide.
With a blood-red face, a captain of the Yan Army kicked down a flag of the Liang Army, replaced it with a flag belonging to the Yan Army, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The army is ascending the city! The army is ascending the city!"
This school captain has already seen his future. He is wealthy, well-dressed and well-educated, and is rising through the ranks. The dream that was once elusive is now within reach.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Tu Danlin outside the city could not see the situation on the top of the city clearly, but the louder roar made the Yan army rush towards the top of the city as if they had been given blood.
A fast horse galloped in front of Tu Danlin, clasped his fists and shouted: "General, the army has climbed onto the city wall, two thousand-man troops are consolidating the city defense, and the Liang army has begun to retreat into the city."
"Hahaha!"
Tu Danlin smiled very happily, waved his hand and said: "Notify the armies in the east and west. Except for the phalanx that is attacking the city, all other troops and horses will be transferred to the north gate to consolidate the results of the north gate!"
"As you command!"
When the Yan army outside the city excitedly boarded the city, a cavalry army was slowly gathering on the martial arts field inside the city. There were a total of 10,000 people, all in black armor, and the spears in the hands of the cavalry were glowing with dots.
Cold light.
Zhong Lizhuo and Shi Hong stood at the front with indifferent expressions.
Liang Suichao was not worried when he heard the shouts of killing in the distance, but was patiently waiting for the military report from the front.
A captain walked quickly to Liang Suichao and said in a deep voice: "General, the Yan troops outside the east and west gates have begun to move towards the north gate. General Cao reported that some of the Yan troops have been let in."
"Okay." Liang Suichao raised a smile on his lips and waved towards Zhong Lizhuo and Shi Hong: "Let's go."
