Pingchengwu Fort was regarded by He Lian as the first step for him to become the real Khan of the Xianbei people. He sent his confidants to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Pingchengwu Fort.
The battle to attack Pingchengwu Fort was extremely fierce. Duan Yong, the powerful commander, did not attack the city except for building a siege ladder on the first day.
After three consecutive days of fierce attack by the governor, Pingchengwu Fort was still not captured. Instead, his army suffered heavy losses and lost all morale.
Duan Yong is a veteran from the Tan Shihuai period. Because of his loyalty to He Lian, he has become He Lian's confidant. After many battles, this is the first time that he has encountered such a difficult-to-attack Wubao.
When he first attacked, he divided 3,000 men to attack Wubao from three directions. The soldiers in his hands were divided into seven teams, and one team was dispatched every half an hour. With the strength of 20,000 elite Xianbei warriors, he thought that at most one
This Xiaowu Fort can be breached in a day.
But after the attack, he discovered that this Xiaowubao was really extraordinary. He found that no matter which direction he attacked the Wubao, his men would be in a state of being attacked from the front and back. Even if they had to attack with the enemy's long arrows in front, the back was actually
You must also withstand the long arrows of the enemy.
Moreover, no matter where the siege team is, they are actually surrounded by enemies from both sides. Every attack in this Wubao area must at least face enemies on both sides. Some places even have to be surrounded by enemies on three sides. Under such circumstances, Xianbei
Human losses were heavy.
Duan Yong, who had been fighting for decades, felt fear for the first time. Such a Wubao was too destructive to the attacking side. If the Han Dynasty used this method to build Wubao in the future, all their Xianbei people would die.
They can't even attack the Han Dynasty's city.
Moreover, this Wubao had an especially large number of arrows. Every time he attacked Wubao, the arrows fired were all consistent with the heavy rain. On the first day, at least tens of thousands of long arrows were shot. This was because it was the first time Duan Yong encountered such a Wubao.
Based on experience, facing such a rain of arrows, he suffered more than 2,000 casualties in his hands, and the Xianbei people had to retreat.
But Duan Yong was extremely happy. Such a powerful defensive force was actually defended by a mediocre general. He shot all the arrows in one breath. What should we do with the defense behind him? It looked like he was a new general who had just entered the battlefield.
He made such a big mistake in panic.
Faced with such a pig opponent, he was confident in breaking Wubao. The next day, he boosted the morale of the soldiers and continued to attack the city.
But he didn't expect that the arrows fired from Wubao would still be like a heavy rain the next day, with no sign of decreasing at all. He was caught off guard and once again killed thousands of his men, and the Xianbei people were also hit by the rain of arrows, and their morale was completely wiped out.
, every time more than a dozen people died, the Xianbei soldiers kept running back. Even if Duan Yong used his own guards to stop them, it was of no use. The morale was so low that Duan Yong had to stop the attack.
However, he was still confident. Although his estimate was wrong, he had already shot 70,000 to 80,000 long arrows. No matter how large the inventory of this Wubao was, it should be exhausted.
On the third day of the siege, Duan Yong led his bodyguards, held a round cowhide shield, and said to the Xianbei soldiers: "The Han people shot so many arrows at Wubao. It is impossible to have more arrows today."
I will be the first to attack the city. As long as I don’t withdraw, no one can withdraw! We must attack this fort today!”
He Lian was already dissatisfied with Duan Yong. He thought that Duan Yong had 10 times the force but could not conquer a Xiaowu Fort. He was simply a waste. He sent someone to send a message to Duan Yong. If Duan Yong could not capture Pingchengwu Fort on the fourth day
, he was about to chop off Duan Yong's head. Faced with such a threat, Duan Yong had to go to the battlefield in person to boost morale.
Duan Yong, a great commander, personally attacked the city. The Xianbei period had recovered a little, and this time Duan Yong did not divide into any small groups. Instead, he sent all the more than 10,000 soldiers to fight, ensuring that there were soldiers on every side of the Wubao attack.
, he didn't believe it anymore, even with tens of thousands of Xianbei warriors he couldn't break through this Xiaowu Fort.
Zhao Rong, the captain of Pingcheng Wubao, was surprised to see Duan Yong going out to fight in person and said: "The leader seems to be the leader of the Xianbei people, right?"
Supervisor Qian Yu nodded and said: "Yes, I have seen him commanding battles several times in the past two days."
Zhao Rong laughed and said: "He is looking for death!"
Then he directed the soldiers around him, pointed at Duan Yong and said: "In a moment, everyone will focus on shooting the Xianbei commander with bows and arrows."
The soldiers around nodded.
Duan Yong personally led people to attack Wubao, but when they approached Wubao, the arrow rain did not decrease much, and even became more violent. It seemed that the entire sky was blocked by long arrows. Zhao Rong and the others only attacked with one wave.
He took away hundreds of Xianbei soldiers.
Duan Yongdu cursed angrily: "How could there be so many arrows? 100,000 arrows were shot in three days. Could it be that all the long arrows of the big man are here!"
Duan Yong has fought in battles all his life and has never encountered such a thing. Arrows in this era are very expensive. Most of the troops basically shoot three arrows and then fight with swords. Even in a city attack and defense battle, the most is
Just shoot a dozen arrows, and then hit the enemy with bricks and stones. Ten arrows are equivalent to a load of grain, which is too expensive. Soldiers in this era are reluctant to shoot them.
And Pingcheng Wubao simply destroyed Duan Yong's three views. Even the density of elite arrows at important passes such as Lulongsai and Juyongguan was less than one-tenth of Pingcheng Wubao.
He didn't know that Xu Wei had the glorious tradition of rabbits and had a phobia of lack of firepower.
When he knew that the Xianbei people were going to attack Mayi, he arranged a large amount of ordnance at Pingchengwu Fort, with 500,000 arrows. He wanted to use up every long arrow in Pingchengwu Fort, and all his men died.
Less than.
When Duan Yong was angry, Zhao Rong had already directed hundreds of soldiers to face Duan Yong. When he rushed to the city wall to take command, he was faced with a wave of arrows.
"Boohoo!" Hundreds of long arrows were fired at Duan Yong.
"Commander, be careful!" His bodyguard used his body to protect Duan Yong.
"Puff puff!" Hundreds of long arrows shot all Duan Yong's personal guards to death.
Zhao Rong said happily: "Keep shooting, don't let this Xianbei commander escape!"
"Boohoo!" The long swords on the city wall came one after another. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Rong fired thousands of long swords at Duan Yong. His cowhide shield and armor were filled with long swords.
Arrow, obviously no longer alive.
Before he died, he still looked puzzled and asked: "Isn't it possible that the long arrows in this Wubao can't shoot all the arrows?"
When the Xianbei people around saw that their handsome commander was dead, they all began to panic and ran towards the rear, shouting as they ran: "The handsome commander is dead, the handsome commander is dead!"
With the shouts of these Xianbei soldiers, the morale of tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers finally collapsed, and they fled this demonic fortress like a tide.
