He Lian led these tribal leaders and the main Xianbei army to the outside of Pingchengwu Fort!
When Zhao Rong and the others saw the Xianbei people surrounding them again, their expressions became heavy. "There seem to be more people this time than last time!"
Qian Yu said calmly: "Today is already the fourth day. Qushuai's army will soon support him. The Xianbei people have lost their advantage. We can only defend for three or four days at most, and Qushuai's vanguard should arrive."
.”
Qian Yu and the others were also calculating the time for the arrival of Xu Wei's reinforcements, and they knew more than He Lian and the others. They knew that the Tengjia Army had already assembled and would take action immediately upon seeing their beacon fire.
Mayi is more than 400 miles away from Pingcheng. Four days is enough for the cavalry to get here. Although the infantry is a little slower, with rail carriages and a large number of carriages, it only takes 6-7 days at most to reach Pingcheng, so the forward of the Tengjia Army has already
They were almost reaching Pingcheng, so they knew that the most dangerous time had passed.
Zhao Rong also laughed and said: "The Xianbei people have to waste one more day. The siege ladder just now has been destroyed by us. If the Xianbei people want to continue to siege the city, they have to make new siege equipment. It is impossible for them today."
Attackers, and by tomorrow, maybe Qu Shuai's vanguard army will have arrived here, and we will survive."
It's no wonder that Zhao Rong was so excited. When he saw an army of more than 100,000 Xianbei people attacking here, he thought they would be annihilated. He would help Xu Wei hold off these Xianbei people for a few days at most.
But they didn't expect that the defense of this hexagonal fortress was so powerful. They actually defeated 20,000 attacking troops and killed thousands of people. Their losses were only hundreds of casualties, most of them.
They could all be saved, which was far beyond his expectation. With more than 800,000 long arrows in his hand, he would have no problem resisting the Xianbei army for a few more days.
He Lian and others came to Pingcheng Wubao and looked around. A large number of Xianbei corpses were still piled under Wubao, and the ground 200 steps away from Wubao was full of long arrows. The murderous atmosphere made people shudder, because all the people who died here were
They are their tribesmen.
Murong Peng was shocked when he saw the scene on the battlefield: "No wonder Duan Yong died here, the Han people are using money to kill people!"
They finally believed that the thunder god of Mayi was rich. There were tens of thousands of long arrows in the area they saw. If the entire Wubao area was like this, the Han people would have shot hundreds of thousands of long arrows in three days.
No wonder Duan Yong's tribe collapsed.
They know that even if they lead an army to attack this Wubao, facing such a dense rain of arrows, they will not be defeated like Duan You at most, but it is basically impossible to capture this Wubao.
Luri Deduction solemnly said: "This Wubao is high and strong, and it is in a dangerous place, making it difficult for us to take advantage of the army. The defenders do not lack the equipment to defend the city, and even have an exaggerated surplus. The defenders are experienced, even if we
With an army of 100,000, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to break through this Wubao for a while, and I’m afraid Lei Gong won’t give us much time, so we’ll be in big trouble.”
Luri now regrets wasting four days in Pingcheng. He should have led people to attack this Wubao if he had known it would be so difficult.
Murong Peng thought for a moment and said: "For this plan, we attack this Wubao day and night so that the Wubao defenders have no chance to breathe. After all, no matter how powerful the Wubao is and how many weapons there are, the defenders only have 3,000 people. As long as we have 100,000
The army will be dispatched at the same time and attack the city day and night. We can still capture this Wubao after all. But we need to send a large army to block the vanguard of the Tengjia Army and buy us time!"
Luo Luo Bu Po said: "I will bring 20,000 iron cavalry to stop the Tengjia Army. I will find a way to make Lei Gong unable to rely on the city for 10 days! You can find a way to break Wubao as soon as possible and join me."
After saying that, he left alone, preparing to lead his troops south to stop Xu Wei.
Although Pingcheng is a dangerous place, it is not so dangerous that one man can guard the gate and ten thousand people cannot open it. The Xianbei people can cross the Pingcheng Wubao and attack Mayi, but in this way their back roads and food routes are extremely dangerous, and they can easily be attacked accidentally.
The enemy's encirclement led to the annihilation of the entire army, so Luo Luo Bu Po did not dare to let the main force continue to penetrate deeper, but sent cavalry to harass Xu Wei's marching speed.
He Liankan deduced the four old guys in Luri and arranged the subsequent battle plan on his own, completely ignoring himself as a big khan. However, the tribal leaders around him nodded in agreement with their plan, and they were filled with hatred.
Said: "Since it is so important to conquer Pingcheng Wubao, I will issue a reward. If anyone can capture this Wubao, I will make him the commander-in-chief of the big tribe!"
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. The current structure of the Xianbei people is that the leaders of the 12 major tribes, the adults of the East, Central, and West tribes and the He Company form the highest level of the Xianbei people. Below them are the commanders of the major tribes.
Next are Xiaoshuai and ordinary tribal leaders, and Helian's reward is compared with the official position of a big man, which is equivalent to becoming a state shepherd. For these tribal leaders, it can be said that it is a step to the sky.
Immediately, several tribal leaders stood up and said: "We are willing to attack the Han people's Wubao!"
He Lian said happily: "Okay, okay, whoever of you breaks through this fortress first will be the new commander-in-chief."
When they wanted to attack Wubao, they found that the ladders used to attack the city had been completely destroyed by the Black Han people. They had no choice but to cut down the surrounding trees and build ladders and giant wooden shields. Fortunately, there were 100,000 Xianbei people, and everyone divided the labor.
Through cooperation, hundreds of ladders and thousands of giant wooden shields were built in less than half a day.
After doing so many things, it was already afternoon. Zhao Rong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, because this was not a good time to attack the city and it would be evening soon.
But what they never expected was that the Xianbei people actually started to attack the city at this time.
A total of 20,000 Xianbei people were divided into four groups and rushed towards Pingcheng Wubao.
Zhao Rong shouted: "Get your crossbows ready, and shoot when the enemy comes within 100 steps!"
"Come on, kill all the Han people!" Under the command of the tribal leader, the Xianbei people rushed towards Pingchengwu Fort carrying ladders and giant wooden shields.
"shooting!"
"Boohoo!"
3,000 long arrows were shot out. Fortunately, the Xianbei soldiers carrying wooden shields hid under the wooden shields, and the long arrows were all shot on the wooden shields. However, the soldiers carrying the ladders were in misery. They were shot by long arrows one after another.
They fell to the ground, but the other Xianbei soldiers could only take their ladders and continue to rush forward.
The young commander Tuoba Sheng roared angrily, "Form a shield wall and use your shields to protect the soldiers who are resisting the ladder!"
When the Xianbei soldiers heard the order, the shield soldiers gathered together to form a shield wall to resist the long arrows shot from the Wubao!
But Zhao Rong immediately ordered, "Shoot those shield soldiers!"
At this time, the diamond-shaped dock seemed to be reflected. After these shield soldiers blocked the attack on one side, their backs were exposed to the crossbowmen on the other side. These crossbowmen fired across each other, and the Xianbei soldiers defending my side did not fire.
Instead, shoot to defend the back of the opposing shield soldier.
This wave of siege battles was extremely brutal. In less than a stick of incense, the soldiers on Wubao had already fired more than a dozen rounds of crossbow arrows. The Xianbei people felt that there were crossbow arrows from all directions, and they could not defend themselves at all. The soldiers under the crossbow arrows died tragically one after another.
Panicked and under the pressure of death, they ignored the orders of the tribal leaders and fled to the rear.
