Chapter 283 Battle of the Western Liang Dynasty (thirteen)
While their morale was as strong as the other, their fighting spirit was high, and the two armies were completely red in their eyes.
The battle started early in the morning, and at noon, the new army entered Xiliang City from the gaps on both sides, fighting bloody battles with the Xiliang army.
Now, the setting sun is about to come to night.
However, the two armies fighting in the East City of Xiliang did not stop at all, and the two sides fought for several hours.
The movements of the soldiers of the two armies began to numbly wave the weapons in their hands and chopped towards the enemy. No one gave up and retreated.
This all comes from the surging drum sound and endless fighting spirit that support them. No matter which side there is no drum sound and fighting spirit, they will be defeated instantly.
Seeing that night was about to come, Guan Shanyue had already wanted to withdraw his troops. However, Guan Shanyue knew that he ordered his troops to retreat at this time, and his morale would fall to the bottom of the valley. The Xiliang army would also take the opportunity to cover up and kill him. At that time, I am afraid that many soldiers would come out alive.
Similarly, it is not that Guan Shanyue did not want to send troops to attack Xiliang City, and to defeat the Xiliang army in one fell swoop. Guan Shanyue had his own concerns, and it was one thing that was afraid of accidentally being injured. The most important point was that the elite Xiliang army that had fought with Gao Chengyi and the commander Tian Yinke were also among them.
Guan Shanyue was not afraid of going to war with Tian Yinke, but was afraid that once he sent troops to attack the city and the offensive was cut off, he was afraid that the soldiers in the city would not know what the situation outside the city would lead to their morale decline. Then he would be defeated in one battle today.
Therefore, Guan Shanyue was waiting. He wanted to use calmness to wait until Tian Yinke could not hold back and then he could restrain Tian Yinke. Then Gao Chengyi's vanguard cavalry who lurked in the camp would join him to encircle Tian Yinke's elite Xiliang army and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
"They have started to attack the city, what do we do?" Hu Ben looked at Guan Shanyue's side and kept firing siege crossbows to Xiliang City, and was very worried.
The young master of Yangcheng on the side held the Qimen gun and said, "Send troops and destroy their siege crossbow."
Time goes back to noon, Tian Yinke, Zhan Shisan, Yangcheng Gongzi, Hu Ben, Liu Yidao, Liu Daxing and others led eight thousand heavy cavalry, five thousand one hundred powerful warriors, and eight thousand cold light iron guards had arrived near Xiliang City, but there was no news, but hiding traces.
"No, Guan Shanyue's army is in the military camp now. We will undoubtedly fall into the trap when we go there." Tian Yinke shook his head and said, the current situation is really not suitable for them to raid Guan Shanyue's camp.
As for returning to Xiliang City, no one asked, because they knew that the cavalry had no effect on defending the city, and the only thing they had was to fight in the wild, so that they could have room to play.
Of course, even if they asked to go back and forth to the city, Tian Yinke would not agree. He lost more than 30,000 cavalrymen without any success. How could Tian Yinke swallow this?
Even if Tian Yinke could bear it, the young master of Yangcheng, who was the governor of the left and right armies, Hu Ben could not forget it.
"Don't worry, we're going to discuss countermeasures when we see the situation clearly." Zhan Shisan looked at the frequent launch density of the new army's siege crossbows, and focused on four points to fight, and then said: "It's estimated that Guan Shanyue will destroy the city wall."
What? After hearing Zhan Shisan's words, everyone looked over and found that there were only four shooting points for the siege crossbow. Not long after, Tian Yinke also heard a loud rumbling sound of collapse, and then another sound.
"Oh no, the city wall has collapsed." Seeing the city walls on both sides of the east city collapsed, Hu Ben clenched his fists and almost jumped up. In the end, Liu Daxing, who was beside Hu Ben, was pressed down.
Tian Yinke stared at the two gaps in the East City and said, "It would be strange if Guan Shanyue shoots like this. Look at who is standing on the gap."
Due to a distance, no one could see clearly who the black dot standing on the gap on the right side of the East City was.
After a moment, Hu Ben suddenly said, "Is it a little flower?"
After Hu Ben mentioned this, everyone smiled slightly. The Lord of Dongcheng is the Huadao. I am afraid that no one else except him will stand there.
As the new army sieges the city of Ruishi, the flower path with the gap on the right was already beaten down.
Seeing the enemy rushing into the East City from the gap on the right, the young master of Yangcheng, Hu Ben, Liu Yidao, Liu Daxing and others were excited again.
Of course, Tian Yinke and Zhan Shisan also had a cold sweat in their hearts.
But the more you are at this time, the more you need to have confidence in them.
Although he wanted to have confidence in Huadao and others, who would feel at ease? Not long after, more than 100,000 enemy soldiers broke through the left and rushed into Xiliang City. Hu Ben was already clamoring to send troops back to Xiliang City in the Garden.
"No." Tian Yinke said firmly.
"Why? Do you want to see Xiliang City be destroyed before you can send troops?" Hu Ben became a little irritated.
Tian Yinke looked at Hu Ben firmly and said, "I only know that it is not the time to send troops."
"This is not a reason. If you don't want to send troops, then I will take my left cavalry back to Xiliang City, right?" After saying that, Hu Ben immediately turned around and was about to summon the remaining cavalry of the left army.
Young Master Yangcheng and others also wanted to return to Xiliang City, but the result was not what they wanted. Everyone was brothers, so there was no need to make the relationship so stiff, but the few people couldn't say what they persuaded.
"No one is allowed to leave without my permission, including you." Tian Yinke shouted to Hu Ben's back.
Hu Ben clenched his fists and looked back at Tian Yinke: "Who do you think you are?"
"I only know that I am a member of Xiliang City and also the commander-in-chief of this operation. All the troops and horses that followed me out of the city are under my command, including you."
"What?" Hu Ben was stunned, and then he remembered that Tian Yinke was indeed the commander-in-chief of this operation.
"Okay, what's the point of quarrel about by all your brothers? Since Tian Yinke said that, let's follow it. Hu Ben, you must be clear that every brother here is concerned about Xiliang City, and you are not the only one who cares about the safety of Xiliang City." Then, Zhan Shisan said to Tian Yinke again: "Hu Ben is just in a hurry, so don't be serious with him."
Tian Yinke breathed a sigh of relief: "I know you are nervous in Xiliang City, but why am I not? Let me ask, where are you going to enter the city when you go back to Xiliang City now? East City or Xicheng?"
Hu Ben loosened his clenched fists and lowered his head: "I'm sorry." He himself knew that there were enemy ambushes waiting in the west city. As long as there was any movement in the west city, it was likely to launch an attack. It was even more impossible for Dongcheng to open the city gate for himself. Once he led his army back to aid, he would be afraid that he would use up all his troops outside the city before he even entered the city gate.
Tian Yinke walked to Hu Ben and patted his shoulder and smiled slightly, "Brother, why are you sorry? I don't seem to be stranger? Besides, my tone was a little rushing just now. If you want to say sorry, I should say it."
Hu Ben smiled and turned around: "Didn't you say that your brothers don't need to be sorry? If you say anything, wouldn't you be more disgusting?"
"right."
Zhan Shisan, the Young Master Yangcheng and others also breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, but the situation in Xiliang City did not allow them to continue laughing.
As the city gate suddenly opened and closed, Guan Shanyue's army had gathered outside Xiliang City and would launch an attack at any time. It seemed that the situation had completely turned to Guan Shanyue.
"What should we do now?" Hu Ben asked with a compulsive attitude.
Tian Yinke kept staring at Guan Shanyue's army, as if looking for something, and then said: "Guan Shanyue's team is missing an old opponent. I guess he is waiting for us on the side of the camp, and it is not feasible to attack the camp..."
The old opponent was stunned for a while, and the few people figured it out. I'm afraid they were talking about Gao Chengyi, the commander of the cavalry in the new army.
"Yes, I'm really strange, why didn't I see him?" Young Master Yangcheng was also searching for Gao Chengyi's figure. Although he was extremely thrilling to fight with Gao Chengyi, Gao Chengyi was not only able to use his true energy to gain the upper hand, but Gao Chengyi was equal to Young Master Yangcheng, but Gao Chengyi did not have rich combat experience, so he was injured several times by Young Master Yangcheng.
Most of the cavalry under the Young Master Yangcheng died. He was a little angry that he did not kill Gao Chengyi at that time and let Gao Chengyi run away. The Young Master Yangcheng was still very guilty about this. After all, the person ran away in his hands. Of course, he did not tell anyone about this guilt, but said to himself that he must kill Gao Chengyi next time, otherwise how could he be worthy of his dead brother?
"It is not feasible to attack the camp... it is not feasible to return to Xiliang City, but don't be discouraged. We have what we can do and can share the burden with the brothers in the city." Tian Yinke said calmly.
"How to do it?" several people asked one after another.
"Contain Guanshanyue."
"How to restrain it?" Zhan Shisan and others didn't know what Tian Yinke meant.
"When Guan Shanyue can leave Gao Chengyi to wait for us to take the bait in the camp, then he must know that we have appeared nearby, so he must have some concerns about us and dare not let go of his hands and feet to attack the city, for fear that we will attack them from behind, so Guan Shanyue is waiting for us to move first..."
"If you understand, then we will not move at all, Guan Shanyue will not dare to move. Dongcheng will be less pressure outside the city and can concentrate on dealing with the enemy in the city." Liu Yidao thought about it, and finally figured it out.
"That's right, but this period will be difficult. We have to watch the brothers fighting bloody battles and cannot help, but we can't stand it. That's even more sorry for the brothers who fought..."
As expected by Tian Yinke, Guan Shanyue really didn't dare to move.
As the sound of the drums of Guanshanyue's army sounded, Tian Yinke and others also knew that Guan Shanyue was beating drums for the soldiers in his city, but it seemed that Huadao and the others had held on, but Tian Yinke and the others didn't know how long they could last... All they could do was to wait and see.
As we see the setting sun gradually sets, night will soon be coming.
Tian Yinke said to Zhan Shisan: "Your Majesty and I will go out for a while, and you will be in command here. Remember that Guan Shanyue did not send troops to attack the city, and we cannot be in charge of all our soldiers."
"Okay, but what are you and the young master going to do?" Zhan Shisan understood the interests and agreed immediately.
"Help your brothers with help." Tian Yinke's eyes shone with strange brilliance.
Hu Ben pointed at Tian Yinke and the Young Master Yangcheng in shock and said, "Just... it's just you two?"
"Yes, it's just me and my son, how are you?" Tian Yinke smiled and looked at the young master Yangcheng and asked.
"I can't wait." Young Master Yangcheng exuded a sharp aura and said word by word.
