() The fighting power of the Xiliang cavalry is unparalleled in the world. Even the Xianbei people who were so powerful on the grassland for a while ended their lives with regret, let alone the Youzhou army in the city.
Two days later, the camp of the Xiliang Army outside Beiping City seemed to have been established. There were dense antlers outside the camp gate, and the patrolling soldiers were sparse. On the surface, it seemed that there was little protection, but in fact, the camp was heavily guarded. If there was a change, the soldiers could
Arrive immediately.
The next day, Huang Zhong led 5,000 Xiliang troops to invite the Youzhou army in the city to fight.
Zhao Yun was dressed in armor and holding a gentian gun. No one in the city dared to step forward to challenge him.
Huang Zhong turned his gaze to Guo Jia who was standing aside, saw him nodding slightly, and ordered: "Three armies attack the city!"
A thousand cavalry were suddenly dispatched and rushed towards Beiping with thunderous momentum. They skillfully loaded their bows and arrows, and fired dense rain of arrows towards the city wall.
The Youzhou army on the city could hardly raise its head under such a dense rain of arrows. Some soldiers even hid behind the female wall, trembling all over. Youzhou Yan Rou's development speed was indeed very fast, which also caused the soldiers under his command to be depressed.
Their abilities vary. Some soldiers are ordinary people who have just put down their hoes, but they are just stronger.
After a shower of arrows, Shan Cong raised his head and looked down the city. He saw another shower of arrows coming, and hurriedly hid in the city wall. Many soldiers made the same move as Shan Cong. They couldn't escape and were hit by arrows, letting out painful screams.
Wailing, the Xiliang Army's three consecutive attacks made the Youzhou Army on the city dare not raise their heads at all.
Guo Jia from the Chinese army nodded slightly. Except for the battle with Jia Rong in Xianbei, he had never seen the Xiliang army attack the city. The cavalry with superb riding skills, relying on the bows and arrows in their hands, could completely suppress the defenders and provide the infantry with
Create conditions for siege.
It was Huang Zhong's first time to personally lead an army on an expedition. Of course, he wanted to establish a great cause and not be underestimated by others. In terms of position, he was a battalion general. There were three regiment generals in the team. Although he obeyed the orders on the surface, he didn't know why in his heart.
He slanders himself.
With the cover of the cavalry, a series of siege ladders were firmly erected on the not-so-high city wall of Beiping.
The ten wells slowly moved toward the city wall. The Xiliang Army soldiers on the wells showed ferocious smiles and kept shooting arrows at the city wall, killing the Youzhou soldiers. Under such pressure, the soldiers on the city
The Youzhou Army basically dared to raise its head. Different from the Jinglan that Shan Cong had seen, this Jinglan had put a lot of effort into it. The outer surface of the wood was wrapped with iron sheets, so it was not afraid of ordinary fire, and the Jinglan was in
The soldiers were also closely protected, leaving only a few holes for the archers to shoot arrows at the city wall. When they got close to the city wall, the soldiers on the well gate swarmed up.
A siege ladder was set up next to Shan Cong. Shan Cong stood up hurriedly and shouted: "The Xiliang army has begun to attack the city, fight!" Shan Cong was the general who initially followed Yan Rou and was quite famous in the army.
, many soldiers obeyed the order and stood up to resist the enemy.
Some soldiers had already come forward, raising their shields to shield Shan Cong from the arrows.
Seeing that some soldiers were still hiding behind the female wall, Shan Cong was furious, pulled out the sword from his waist, and killed three soldiers and a hundred-man general. When the soldiers saw that Shan was serious, he tremblingly picked up the sword in his hand.
Weapons to resist the Xiliang army.
In the past, the Youzhou Army encountered only the Xianbei army attacking the city. How could there be such a sharp weapon as the Jinglan? The cloud ladder is a powerful siege weapon in the eyes of the Xianbei people, let alone such a battle where arrows are fired before the siege. The cavalry can actually attack the city.
The high-speed galloping horses fired arrows at the defenders, how terrifying it was. Shan Cong also realized that the Xiliang Army was not in vain. Relying solely on the strength of the cavalry, there were few opponents in the world.
The sparse arrows on the city had little impact on the Xiliang army. The vital parts of every siege soldier were protected by armor.
A Xiliang soldier climbed onto the city wall and, after killing four Youzhou soldiers, was killed by the swarming soldiers.
I was shocked to see that the Xiliang Army's reputation for bravery was indeed not false. An ordinary soldier had such combat prowess.
More and more soldiers of the Xiliang Army climbed up the city wall, especially as Jinglan approached, the soldiers could easily carve out a place on the city wall, creating opportunities for Pao Ze on the ladder.
Soldiers guarding other city gates were hurriedly mobilized, and they resisted to the death before blocking the first wave of Xiliang army's attack.
In one morning's siege, the Xiliang army lost more than 200 soldiers, but the defenders paid a price of nearly 700. It seems that such losses should not occur to the defenders.
After the Xiliang army withdrew, Shan Cong also frowned and thought deeply. He was worthy of being a famous general under Yan Rou. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the reason why there were such heavy losses in today's siege was because the defenders did not
Inflict heavy damage on the Xiliang army when they attack the city, allowing them to easily climb the city wall. As long as they make good use of the city's advantages, the Xiliang army will have to pay a greater price if they want to attack the city again.
But the cavalry shooting arrows made Shan Cong a little helpless. There were many soldiers with superb archery skills, but the equipment of these cavalry made Shan Cong helpless. The pure armor protected important parts, and it was a bit difficult to cause casualties. He
I really can't imagine why the Xiliang army has so much excellent equipment. An ordinary ladder is made of iron, and those wells are burned down with rockets. It's a fantasy. Is it possible that Jia Rong is so wealthy?
Huang Zhong stroked his beard under his chin, and he was confident that he could capture Beiping in just two days. By then, the county and city would be completely exposed to the front of the Xiliang army.
Faced with such casualties, Shan Cong hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Xian Yuyin in the county seat again. There were five thousand defenders in the city, but the other party only had more than 10,000 people, and they asked for help repeatedly.
Shan Cong's lieutenant advised: "General, I have heard that the Xiliang army cares about the people. Why not send people to help defend the city and see if they can surrender to the unarmed people?"
Shan Cong said with great joy: "This is a great kindness. If you can defend Beiping, I will definitely ask for your credit in front of the general."
After Huang Zhong saw the scene in Beiping, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly. He called out the common people and relied on his own strength to reach this point step by step. Now Shan Cong actually drove innocent people to the city wall.
"General, what do you think?" Guo Jia turned his attention to Huang Zhong, who was the leader of the march this time.
Huang Zhong shook his head slightly and said: "We will not attack the city today!"
After seeing Jia Rong's wanton killing on the grassland, Guo Jia seemed to disapprove of this kind of womanly kindness: "General, the Youzhou army in the city is not strong enough. It only takes one day to capture Beiping. Chi Ze
Changes have occurred.”
"Our army has always loved the people as our own children, so we have won the support of the people. How can we ignore the lives of the people in the city." Huang Zhong said decisively: "Even if the general blames him, he will not change his mind."
Seeing that the Xiliang army did not attack the city, Shan Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Three days later, the Xiliang army still stood still. Thinking that they had captured the lifeline of the Xiliang army, Shan Cong intensified his efforts and arrested the people in the city and climbed to the top of the city.
When Xian Yuyin received Shan Cong's request for help, he did not dare to neglect and dispatched his troops to the north of Pingyi.
On the battlefield, there was a cavalry group, about five hundred in number, with big horses and scimitars, headed by a general, holding bright silver spears and wearing strong armor. The tabards behind them were fluttering gently in the breeze, and the big flag was fluttering in the wind.
The letter is written with a big word "Zhao"!
Huang Zhong guessed that the city would definitely ask for help from Xian Yuyin, and ordered Zhao Yun's cavalry to wander on the battlefield to block the rescue troops. Guo Jia agreed, and the complaints about Huang Zhong not ordering the siege were alleviated a lot.
Weakening the power of the county is the key to taking Daijun.
"General, there are enemy troops ten miles ahead. They are setting up camp."
Zhao Yun looked up at the gradually darkening sky, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, "Everyone hide it, try to kill the other party's scouts, and don't expose the position of our army."
"No!" the soldier clasped his fists and left.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the scouts in the army are the strongest. When they step into the battlefield, they will fight against death all the time. Those with inexperience and low martial arts will gradually be eliminated.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun appeared in front of the Youzhou Army camp like a ghost. Looking at the camp in front of him, a trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of his mouth.
During the local march, the soldiers were only temporarily stationed, and the Youzhou Army did not take too many precautions.
"Kill!" With a flick of the bright silver spear, all five hundred cavalrymen dispatched, brushing aside their antlers, and attacked the Youzhou military camp from all directions.
A patrolling soldier was shouting, but found that he could only make a hoarse sound, and a sharp arrow pierced his throat at some point.
Zhao Yun put away his bow and arrows, raised his spear high, and followed the troops into the Youzhou army.
At this time, the soldiers of the Youzhou Army were sleeping. When they heard the movement in the camp, they ran out of the camp in a daze, shirtless. When they saw the dense cavalry approaching, they were already frightened. They screamed in fear and screamed before they died.
, merge into one.
The marching general of the Youzhou Army was Xian Yuyin's general Liang Cheng, who was highly skilled in martial arts and always took the lead in battles, winning the morale of the army. Under Liang Cheng's order, the soldiers gradually gathered in the center of the camp, and two soldiers and horses were rescued.
Thousands of people, Liang Cheng looked at the chaotic camp, the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He didn't win yet, but he was plotted by the enemy. What a big deal.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and led more than fifty people to attack the banner with the word "Liang" on the tall tree in the middle of the camp.
More than fifty people rushed into the panic of the soldiers, causing waves. Although Liang Cheng had some influence in the army, in a hurry, the soldiers did not remember fighting in formation. When they saw the cavalry coming, they hurriedly evaded.
, no matter how much Liang Cheng shouted, it had no effect.
Seeing that the soldiers who had just gathered together were scattered, Liang Cheng's only trace of reason disappeared, and he rushed to kill Zhao Yun.
The two generals compared each other, and after they joined forces, the bright silver spear pierced the throat of the brave general of the Youzhou Army, and he fell to the ground helplessly.
The casualties of the two thousand reinforcements were reduced. Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield and continue to wander on the battlefield. However, if any enemy troops dared to come, they would be greeted by a violent attack like a storm.
Late at night, under the lights, Huang Zhong had a sad look on his face. He never wanted to capture Beiping in one battle, but when he saw the innocent and fearful eyes of the people on the city wall, he couldn't bear it.
