Chapter 1032 Surprising(1/3)
Governor Helian ordered the infantry to attack because the Northern Xinjiang Army's trebuchets were not found.
According to rumors, the trebuchet was like a thunderbolt and had a huge impact on morale.
But it can only be used to siege cities.
What I didn't expect was...
"Trebuchet!"
In the attack array ahead, someone screamed.
Governor Helian looked at the stones calmly and said, "Yang Xuan is cunning!"
Lin Nan said: "He hid the trebuchet in the city, just waiting for this moment to give us a heavy blow."
This is a different kind of ambush.
When the rocks hit the ground, you can see flying dust, accompanied by blood arrows, even limbs, or colorful things...
Then the rocks rushed forward, destroying everything.
When the stones stopped, there was an alley of flesh and blood behind them.
Dozens of flesh-and-blood alleys are nothing to the huge enemy army, but every soldier who sees these alleys can't help but feel timid.
This is the result Yang Xuan wants!
There are fewer people versus more people. What the side with fewer people can rely on, besides ability, is morale.
Looking across the top of the city, just a section after entering the city, all the houses on both sides have been demolished.
The trebuchets are lined up one after another, and at this moment, they are in full swing.
"Pull up!"
Teams of sergeants struggled to pull down the swing arm and buckle it.
"Load rock bullets!"
"put!"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Meteorite rain once again passed over the city.
The front is already facing the enemy.
The infantry were strangled together. Behind them, the cavalry looked impatiently, waiting for a breakthrough.
"My lord, I have left my post." Lieutenant General Jiang Cun approached to take command.
Yang Xuan nodded, "This battle is a battle of spirits!"
"I understand!"
Yang Xuan could retreat and abandon a lonely Dangding city to the enemy. The enemy army could not stay here for a long time and would not be able to sustain it. When they left, Yang Xuan could retake Dangding city with his back foot.
But he chose to stay just for the sake of his morale!
The two sides continued to charge and kill each other, while Yang Xuan was watching.
"My lord, the enemy's two wings." Han Ji pointed to the left.
The enemy's cavalry was outflanking the two flanks.
"Our army has its back to Dangding City, its two wings are approaching, there are arrows raining from the top of the city, and there are infantry below the city, there is no need to worry!"
Yang Xuan was thinking about the overall situation.
When Governor Helian leads the army here, his first goal must be to restore the original situation in the south and guard against further invasion by the Northern Xinjiang Army.
Another goal must be to control Lin Jun and restore Ningxing's control over Taizhou and Tanzhou.
But now let alone Taizhou and Tanzhou, even Chenzhou was captured by Lin Jun.
Lin Jun has become a powerful man, isn't Governor Helian panicking?
With Taizhou, Tanzhou, Chenzhou, and the three states in hand, and the Northern Xinjiang Army watching eagerly from one side, Governor Helian's army was in a dilemma...
What can he do in this situation?
Defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army!
Defeat the famous Tang Dynasty general Yang Xuan!
In this way, when he attacks Lin Jun, he does not need to worry about the threat from the Northern Xinjiang Army.
This method is upright and impeccable.
Moreover, the strong relationship between the three is very clear.
But what he never expected was that his army would now encounter resistance at the foot of Dangding City.
Governor Helian must win this battle!
On the contrary, the same is true for Yang Xuan.
He felt that he had little confidence in defeating this powerful opponent. After all, the numerical gap between the two sides was too big.
But he must maintain the current situation.
In other words, we need to maintain an undefeated situation!
The Northern Xinjiang Army stared at Governor Helian's army like a tiger, trying to contain him so that Lin Jun could survive this difficult period.
When Lin Jun gained a firm foothold, the land of the Three States was like a wound on Beiliao's body, bleeding continuously.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, this saying never goes out of style.
At this moment, Yang Guogong's heart was closely connected with the soldiers and people of the three states.
A group of Bei Liao infantry rushed in and looked at it.
However, it has some meaning of cultivation.
"Butcher!"
Yang Xuan pointed there.
"Second brother, follow me!"
"My lord, I invite you to fight!" the old thief was angry, feeling that he was being ignored.
"You go too!" Yang Xuan smiled.
It is a good thing to be happy when you hear about war.
He glanced at Pei Jian and saw that this man's cultivation was even more impressive, but in his heart, he was the choice of a general, not a cannon fodder for the battle.
Lao Shuaiguo snorted coldly from the side, probably feeling the malice in his eyes.
"I am not prepared to ask you to take action in such a small scene!"
Yang Xuan smiled.
"Are we sure of this battle?" Ning Yayun asked.
"It looks a bit precarious, right?" Yang Xuan said.
"The enemy's force is strong." Ning Yayun didn't understand battle formations, but she could see the changes in the force.
"It can be blocked!" Yang Xuan still had some confidence, "However, if the fighting continues, there will be many casualties."
"Is there any way?" Ning Yayun flicked her sword, "No, I can go and fight!"
Yang Xuan was a little surprised by his initiative, and his heart warmed slightly, "No need."
This is the second war between Northern Xinjiang and Northern Liao since the last personal expedition by Helianfeng Yujia.
Jielong watched intently and suddenly asked: "Why didn't Governor Helian attack with force?"
"In such a big place, with our army backed by Dangding City, Governor Helian cannot encircle it in a roundabout way. Moreover, the city is constantly providing supplies of all kinds. A large-scale attack will only cause chaos!"
Well said.
Jielong looked back and saw that it was He Lianrong who said it.
"Then what do you think will happen if this battle continues?"
Jielong retorted.
"I don't know. After all, the enemy's army is outnumbered. The longer this battle drags on, the worse it will be for our army!" After all, He Lianrong once guarded one side and led a large army in battle, so his analysis was convincing.
On the opposite side, Lin Nan said to Changling: "Don't worry, Princess Chang, the current stalemate is only temporary. They are 30,000 and we are 80,000. We can attack in rotation to give the soldiers a rest, but the Northern Xinjiang Army cannot. If this continues
, they will always be exhausted. At that time, it will be the time to strike a fatal blow. "
Changling asked: "What if the Northern Xinjiang Army enters the city and defends it?"
"That will be lively." Lin Nan smiled happily, "If the Northern Xinjiang Army enters the city and our army surrounds Dangding City, it will be like catching a turtle in a jar."
The guard said: "Once the Northern Xinjiang Army enters the city, they will not be able to get out."
I see!
To be continued...
