Chapter 645 Attack
"General, what should we do? If we let the other side dig in like this, our city of Beiping won't be able to hold on for long!" the deputy general guarding the city said anxiously.
Listening to the harsh chiseling sound from below the city, Tian Kai felt annoyance in his heart, and scolded him sternly: "Why are you panicking? I have already sent someone to ask for help from Your Majesty. The reinforcements will arrive soon. As a deputy general, how can you be so panicked?"
?If someone discovers it again, military law will be pursued."
After restraining the deputy general, Tian Kai looked at the densely packed enemy troops in the distance and the long and hideous wounds on the land below the city, with a faint look of worry in his eyes.
As the guard general of Peiping, Tian Kai knows the situation of Beiping City best. He has seen how Beiping City turned from a small county town into a fortress in just three months. Because of this, he did this
concern.
At first, we only considered the issue of defending the city in order to prevent a strong attack from the opposite side, so we didn’t think too much about it. The city wall was built high and thick enough, but the foundation underneath was not reliable. I only had three months to do it.
It would be great to complete the current project.
But he did not expect that the opponent's general could see through the problem of Beiping City at a glance. During this period of time, he did not attack the city but dug canals to divert the water from the moat.
Excavation of the foundation began.
There are tens of thousands of troops gathered under the city of Peiping. Every day, tens of thousands of troops line up around the city to threaten. With only 20,000 troops in hand, he dare not leave the city. He can only watch helplessly as the opponent continues to dig the foundation.
But there was nothing he could do. Hearing the noisy chiseling sounds under the city wall every day, Tian Kai was filled with worry.
The soldiers guarding the city were even more frightened, and their morale continued to drop. Countless soldiers stationed on the city wall stared nervously at their feet every day, fearing that the city wall would collapse in the next moment and bury them here.
As the general of Dayan, Tian Kai knew the current situation of Dayan well. After the defeat of Jieqiao, his vitality was severely damaged. Apart from the 20,000 troops stationed in Jixian to protect Gongsun Zan, there were only 20,000 capable soldiers left.
He has 20,000 troops each here and Yi Jing's Shanjing there.
Although the letter asking for help has been sent out, Tian Kai does not think that Gongsun Zan will come to rescue him. Now Gongsun Zan is powerless even if he wants to. The tens of thousands of new recruits who have just been recruited have not even completed the preliminary training. It is completely impossible to pull them onto the battlefield.
Death. The "reinforcements" he is waiting for may not come within three to five months.
Looking at the hurried soldiers around him and the dense defense equipment on the city wall, Tian Kai clenched his fists with some strength and nowhere to use: "Bo Lie."
"The last general is here!" The big man with a Chinese character on his face and a resolute expression wearing a general's armor said.
"Send someone to remove half of the siege equipment from the outer city wall and transport it to the inner city." Tian Kai said harshly.
Peiping City is divided into two parts: the inner and outer cities. The inner city is relatively smaller, basically the size of Wubao, just to be able to hold on when the troops are insufficient after being captured. But because of this, its city walls are not
Gao, it would be difficult for Zhao Jun to use this method of digging foundations to destroy the city wall again.
"promise!"
"Zi Nan!"
"The general is here!" A young general with a spear in one hand and an unruly face stood up and said.
"You prepare five hundred soldiers and horses and prepare to follow me out of the city." Tian Kai said harshly.
"Take the order!" The young general said excitedly without the slightest hint of fear when he heard this.
When the deputy general next to Tian Kai heard this, he looked shocked and quickly stood up to dissuade him: "General, you have a heavy responsibility, so you must not take risks yourself! Let the general go!"
"Go away, do you want to take credit from me? There is only a group of craftsmen in the city, I will be back in a moment." Tian Kai said angrily: "A certain person is the governor of Peiping appointed by His Majesty himself. You can't just ask for help from Zhao Jun. What?
Don't do it! I'll go down to perform meritorious service later. You can keep an eye on the city gate for me and close it immediately after I return to the city. If a Zhao army is let in, I'll take it from you! Zinan, let's go!"
After Tian Kai finished speaking, the panic and worry in the eyes of the surrounding soldiers guarding the city diminished and turned into firmness. They looked at Tian Kai who turned to leave with admiration and trust in their eyes.
Then, the gate of the west wall of Beiping City suddenly opened, revealing a gap that could only allow two cavalry to pass through. Tian Kai rode in front, leading five hundred cavalrymen, two of them, in a neat formation, and filed out in high spirits.
"rush!"
Tian Kai, who understood the critical nature of the situation, did not hesitate at all. He immediately accelerated his horse to the extreme and led his soldiers to rush towards the southwestern corner of the city wall where Sergeant Zhao was digging diligently.
Zhang Heyao, who was leading his troops to suppress the battle in the distance, saw the gate of Beiping City open and a cavalry rushing out. He immediately understood what happened and shouted quickly: "Charge the whole army, beat the drums, and attack the city!"
Accompanied by the sound of intensive and powerful war drums, tens of thousands of soldiers roared, carrying ladders and pushing carts, and swarmed toward Beiping City. At the same time, Chunyu Qiong led a group of three thousand cavalry straight to the city wall.
Go to the southwest corner.
When Tian Kai heard the sudden loud beating of drums and shouts of death, he showed no fear on his face and said loudly: "Don't worry about anything, just follow me and charge."
The soldiers are courageous generals. Seeing that their general is so calm and brave, these carefully selected elite Yan troops did not panic and followed closely behind.
Lu, who was on horseback, was very fast, and five hundred light cavalry arrived at the southwest corner of the city wall in no time. They saw Sergeant Yuan who was arranging his army to prepare for battle.
There were nearly 10,000 people, but because they had been digging in the earth before, they were very panicked when they were suddenly attacked. And because it was almost noon, these people had worked hard all morning and were exhausted. Their bodies were wet with sweat, and they could not even hold their hands.
The hands holding the weapons were sweating constantly.
"kill!"
He didn't say much when he was ruthless, so Tian Kai directly went to kill him with his sword.
The five hundred fine cavalry were like a sharp sword, piercing hard into the Zhao army that had not yet finished reorganizing the army. They charged all the way like a broken bamboo, tearing it apart and smashing it into a ball.
As an arrow, Tian Kai waved his broadsword left and right, as if he was not afraid of death. He used a life-saving fighting method, only attacking but not defending, constantly harvesting the enemy's lives, with blood splattering all around. However, after charging halfway, his armor was densely covered with blood.
There were countless knife marks, completely soaked in blood that could not be distinguished from the enemy's or your own.
Facing such a terrifying murderer, the surrounding Zhao soldiers all showed fear and unconsciously retreated to both sides. However, Tian Kai's iron cavalry shot straight out of the tens of thousands of Zhao troops with such overwhelming force.
Chapter completed!
