Chapter 667 The Battle of Hegemony
Youzhou City.
"What is that?"
Murong Jun, a veteran Yan army left behind in Youzhou, looked at the strange wooden frames pushed out from the Wei army in shock.
Then a little fire suddenly flew over.
Then the fire disappeared into the city gate.
Before he could react, he felt his feet tremble violently, and a earth-shaking loud noise came in an instant. As he and the soldiers subconsciously screamed, countless dust and broken wood sprayed out with thick smoke and fire. Almost at the same time, another fire light flew over the opposite side, and disappeared into the dust and smoke in a blink of an eye. Then there was another loud noise. This time, even the city gate was sprayed with flames and smoke.
"The city gate is broken!"
There was a scream of horror in the city.
"Run quickly, the Wei army is using magic again!"
Then more screams of horror rang out.
"Don't panic, hold on to the city, your Majesty's army will arrive in two days!"
Murong Jun raised his sword and roared.
Suddenly, a series of dense roars, followed by dozens of giant arrows shot from the crossbows and thrust into the city wall under his feet. Then two ignition lights in the sky dragged the smoke and fell down. One of them was landing on the city tower, smashing through the roof and disappearing into the city tower. At this moment, the Wei army on the opposite side began to charge. The man in front could not even see his face, and rode forward on a red war horse with heavy armor.
"shoot……"
Murong Jun's roar came suddenly.
There was a loud bang behind him, and the city tower turned into countless broken bricks and wood scattered. The Yan soldiers below screamed in silence. One of the broken bricks almost wiped the head of Murong Jun. He lay on the bush with cold sweat, and then a silver figure appeared in his sight. The figure rode a horse and rushed into the moat, then jumped into the overwhelming river water. In a blink of an eye, he rushed out with a full body of river water and rushed directly towards the city wall. Then he grabbed a giant crossbow arrow inserted deep into rammed earth, wearing heavy armor, but climbed up like a monkey, and in a blink of an eye, he showed his head on the city wall.
At this time, Murong Jun also reacted. He looked at the sides of the no one with sorrow, then grabbed his ring-headed knife and roared, slashing at the head wrapped in steel with one knife.
Suddenly, an iron hand grabbed his blade.
Murong Jun roared and drew his sword suddenly.
The next moment, the silver figure jumped up with his sword drawing. Before he could stand firm, the other fist clenched by the iron hand came to him. Murong Jun hurriedly dodged, but he was one step slower and was hit by the iron fist.
Blood burst into his screams.
Then there is the second punch, the third punch...
The iron fist kept falling.
His screams became less and less.
At this time, more Wei soldiers rushed through the moat and grabbed the giant arrows of the crossbows and climbed up the city wall. Then someone lowered the suspension bridge. The Wei army, who had already reached the moat, rushed through the open city gate. On the city wall, Yang Feng threw away his head and beaten it into rotten meat, and his brains were splashed all over his body. He stood by the bombed city tower and watched his subordinates surging like torrents in the city.
"Kill all the white captive men in the city, and those who turn against the Han people will not blame you!"
He yelled.
A Yan general who was attacking with his subordinates was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stabbed him into the chest of the obviously whiter companion beside him...
Youzhou was conquered like this.
As for the bombardment of the city gate, the Roman sniper crossbow cannon, which is not as good as the bed crossbow and the throwing ability is not as bad as the counterweight catapult. However, it has the throwing ability that the former does not have and the accuracy that the latter does not have. It happened to be used by Yang Feng to shoot 50 kilograms of flowering bullets. After replacing the latest crucible steel spring and sight, it easily penetrates the city gate hole at a distance of 200 meters. Then, 50 kilograms of flowering bullets will solve the city gate. If one is not enough, add one more. If it is not enough, ten will not be enough, right? If it is really necessary to shoot ten fifty kilograms of flowering bullets, the city gate hole may collapse, and there is no rammed earth that does not even cover bricks. How to withstand this weapon? This is his breaking weapon.
As for why it's not a cannon?
Cannons must not require gunpowder!
The thing fired a single gunpowder that even consumed more than he loaded in the flowering bullet. His current reserves would probably be bankrupt without having to blow up a wall.
It turns out that Roman sniper crossbows are enough.
The Wei army that captured Youzhou and then slaughtered the city with the Han army who turned against each other. As Yang Feng said, the Baihu men killed all the men. It is easy to distinguish the Xianbei of the Murong tribe because they are actually close to the white mixed race, Baihu. At this time, the common name for the Murong tribe was Baihu. As for whether they were white or intermarried, they didn't know. The Xianbei itself was a confusing account. They could not say that they were a simple nation, and they had all kinds of messy ones.
Therefore, you can easily distinguish Murong’s body by looking at the complexion of your skin.
In fact, the people of Youzhou belonged to Murong Jun was only about five years ago. The Han people here were not loyal to the Murong family. In order to provide the war with Yang Feng over the years, Murong Jun plundered his subordinates to a very miserable situation. After all, he did not have Yang Feng's ability to govern the country or Yang Feng's immortals to get food from the south. The latter could allow the people under his rule to have enough food, and he could only rely on plundering the people to maintain his army of more than 100,000.
Especially his territory is in the north.
In this era, whether in Beijing, Tianjin or western Liaoning, the grain output in bitter and cold places was not the same as that in Yang Feng. Otherwise, why would Murong Jun move the capital to Zhongshan in a hurry?
The result of the plunder is the accumulation of resistance emotions.
When Yang Feng, an attacker who was originally the old master of the city, captured Youzhou with the same Han army, whether it was the aristocratic families who were used to being fence-bearing or the ordinary people who were full of hatred for the Murong family, joined the ranks of turning against and revenge without hesitation, a bloodbath against the Bailu was inevitable, and then the same bloodbath spread from Youzhou to around.
At this time, Murong Jun was not even sure whether the news of Yang Feng’s login was true or false.
It was the second day when he was sure.
Then he was stunned.
Of course he understands what this means.
This means that his territory has been cut in half, and he is trapped in a huge army that cannot support him at all, and even a desperation in which rebellion may occur at any time.
He is a Xianbei.
His real foundation is not here.
His real foundation is Helong.
But now the connection between him and Helong has been cut off by Yang Feng with one sword. If Youzhou cannot be recaptured, then there is no suspense waiting for him to perish.
Immediately afterwards, he led the main force of the 40,000 Yan army to counterattack north, and did not lead the Youji Han army, who could no longer guarantee his loyalty, all of them were the Xianbei Dingling and the western Liao Han army who went south from Liaoxi to Liaoxi. However, on the same day he set out to north, the Wei army on the southern front launched a large-scale counterattack. The Wei army who arrived at Lukou by boat also used Roman sniper crossbows to break through Lukou, which Murong Jun had only been able to break through three years after three years, and then directly threatened Zhongshan from the flank. The Wei cavalry from Xiangguo north destroyed Murong Qiang's courage with a charge of 4,000 cavalry under Changshan City.
That was four thousand cavalrymen.
When the endless torrent of steel charged forward with the trembling earth, even the bravest Yan soldiers knew that they could not win the war.
However, Murong Qiang still has to defend Changshan to the death.
In addition, the Wei army marched from Lukou and then arrived in Zhongshan, and Murong De also defended Zhongshan.
They were all waiting for the result of Murong Jun's attack on Youzhou. If Murong Jun could regain Youzhou, then their crisis would be resolved. If Murong Jun could not regain Youzhou, then they would have to find a way to survive. The only choice they had to go west to cross Taihang, and Changshan to the west Jingxing Road was also their only choice. They had to keep this passage. Of course, these had nothing to do with Yang Feng of Youzhou. Just four days after he conquered Youzhou, the Yan army cavalry led by Murong Jun first arrived in Zhuo County, and then Mu Yugen, who was his vanguard, entered Liangxiang. On the sixth day, the main force of the Yan army arrived. After four days of rest, the Yan army advanced to the south bank of Yongding River and set up camp to prepare for crossing the river. After four days of the attack, it officially launched an attack.
As for Yang Feng’s choice…
Uh, he chose to fight.
"Lord, isn't this too risky?"
His guide and Lu Xu, who had just been appointed as the prefect of Yan County, used a telescope to look at the black Yan cavalry on the opposite side and said carefully.
This is also a family.
Fanyang Lu family.
His great-great-grandfather was Lu Zhi.
His grandfather Lu Zhi was caught and killed by Liu Jie on the way to join his brother-in-law Liu Kun. His father Lu Chen successfully defected to Liu Kun. Liu Kun was killed by Duan Piyin and then transferred to Duan Mobo. Shi Hu annexed Duan Mobo and then turned to Shi Hu. Later, he became Ran Min's Secretariat. After Ran Min was defeated in Xiangguo, he was sent to Xiangguo by the betrayed Sodakang and was killed by Shi Fu. Lu Xu and his brother Lu Yan escaped and stayed in Yecheng to wait for light. This shows that this era's aristocratic family is also quite tragic.
In history, he and his brother played a game of clans in troubled times, and then his brother surrendered to the former Yan and went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He is unknown.
But his grandson is very famous.
Well, his grandson was Lu Xun, the leader of the rebellion of Tianshidao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who made Liu Yu rise.
"adventure?"
Yang Feng sat on a Hu bed with his teacup crossed his legs, looking at Yan Jun opposite him and sneered: "Which battle did I not take risks? Which battle did I have been defeated?"
Lu Xu quickly stopped talking.
At this time, the Yan army infantry first began to cross the river. It was the flood season of the Yongding River. The flooded river water formed a vast river channel. The water divided by sandbanks was more than one mile wide, and the cavalry was useless in such a terrain, and war horses were impossible to run. In fact, war horses could be flooded in the depths of the river. The only option was to build a floating bridge. However, the heavy infantry had to break through the defense line of the Wei army on the north bank and establish a stable ferry, and then firmly guarded there to build a bridge. As long as the Yan army behind them was equipped with cavalry to cross the river, Yang Feng, who had only a small number of surrendered cavalry, could only retreat to Youzhou.
Moreover, the Yan army had no other way, and the section of the modern Lugou Bridge was the only one they could force it to cross.
They have to face many wider rivers downstream. If they want to cross these rivers during the flood season, they can only choose the uppermost river near the mountainous area, otherwise they will be unable to move forward.
This is why Youzhou City is located here.
So Murong Jun had no choice.
He could only attack with infantry and open a breakthrough with the lives of infantry.
The heavy infantry of the Yan army wearing heavy armor and holding shields lay on one by one, struggling forward in the turbulent river water. On the bank opposite them, rows of Wei soldiers in arrays were carrying military steel-piece divine arm bows and waiting leisurely. At this time, the distance was too far, even their divine arm bows could not be shot. However, the soldiers next to the crossbows were shooting giant crossbows at the river surface. Similarly, the Roman sniper crossbows were loading with stone bullets and shooting at the Yan army crossing the river. From time to time, the rafts were hit and then splattered blood and flesh, and then washed away by the river.
However, although such an attack caused certain casualties to the Yan army, the rate of fire limit could not really affect their progress. Soon a large area of rafts crossed the middle line of the river.
Yang Feng put down the teacup.
Then he picked up the folding fan in his hand and pointed forward and then brushed it open.
The flag bearer next to him immediately waved the flag.
A soldier lit the rocket fuse in his hand. The rocket ejected flames into the sky, then exploded a ball of red smoke, making an explosion sound that resounded through the battlefield. Countless shouts among the Wei soldiers who were waiting in line at the same time. The soldiers who had been waiting long ago installed arrows for the steel-piece divine arm bows in their hands, and then raised them to aim at the target on the river surface through simple sights.
At this time, the Yan army had already begun to abandon the raft and rushed forward in the knee-high river water.
Lu Xu looked at Yang Feng with inquiring eyes.
Even the Wei soldiers looked at their officers with inquiring eyes.
Yang Feng waved his folding fan indifferently.
The soldiers of the Yan army who were running wildly began to move closer to form a formation to prepare to attack the Wei army.
Suddenly, Yang Feng pointed to a folding fan in his hand.
The flag bearer waved the flag again.
The second rocket took off.
Accompanied by the roars of those officers, all the crossbowmen pulled the trigger, and dense crossbow arrows flew out and instantly hit the Yan army. At this time, the Yan soldiers in the vanguard were even less than ten feet away from the Wei soldiers. The powerful crossbow arrows shot through their multiple armor like piercing white paper, and even their shields were shot through. Then the armor-breaking arrows were sank into their bodies and even penetrated directly. Because the distance was too close, the hit rate was extremely high. It can be said that the Yan army in the vanguard collapsed in almost the blink of an eye, and countless dead bodies fell into the river water, and blood stained the river water rushed downstream.
But the one behind did not stop.
They knew the rate of fire of the crossbow, and they could rush over before the Wei army completed the loading. They were all carefully selected warriors and would easily crush these crossbowmen.
Chapter completed!
