Chapter 843: The Yan army attacks the city and the Qin cavalry arrives
The next day, at noon, Chang'an, outside Beicheng.
Liu Yu, dressed as a soldier, stood at the top of the city and looked around coldly. The Yan army began to form formations to attack the city in the morning, but the main force of the Qin army in the camp outside the city remained motionless, watching helplessly as hundreds of people watched.
The catapults of the remaining Yan army bombarded the city wall. At this moment, the passages of the city wall were full of dead bodies and injured people. Teams of civilians carried stretchers and hurriedly ran up and down to lift the injured, while the dead
Not so lucky, he was thrown directly off the city wall. There was a pile of corpses at the base of the wall, which was half a foot high.
Murong Lan is also wearing the equipment of a sergeant. Today she changed into a yellow face mask and put on two mustaches. This makes her look unattractive. She is just standing next to the tall and burly Liu Yu.
The figure looked like a woman at first glance, which attracted many people to look here frequently.
Murong Lan frowned and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "What is Yang Ding doing? Isn't there a decisive battle today? Why did the Yan army form an array to attack the city instead?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Although Yang Ding looks rough, he is not incompetent in the art of war. He probably wants to wait and see first, so that the Qin army will lose morale and strength when attacking the city, and then send out cavalry to attack when the opponent is tired.
Yesterday, he put all the infantry back into the city for defense to make up for the lack of troops in the city. He only had 30,000 cavalry on hand, and these 30,000 cavalry are the key to victory or defeat."
Murong Lan curled her lips: "Thirty thousand armored cavalry?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Not all of them are armored cavalry. I heard from Fu Jian that most of these soldiers and horses are Di people from the Qiuchi area. Many of them are horse bandits that Yang Ding recruited from Hehuang and the desert outside the Great Wall. They have very strong combat effectiveness."
, this time Fu Jian gave Yang Ding all the best equipment in the arsenal, but it was probably only enough to equip 15,000 armored cavalry. However, if used well, 15,000 cavalry would be enough to defeat the enemy.
"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Then do you think Murong Yong and Murong Chong can crack it?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Then let us open our eyes and take a good look."
In the North City, five miles outside the city, Murong Chong was sitting on a high command platform with a stern look on his face, his eyes looking straight ahead. The hundreds of trebuchets that had just attacked the city had stopped firing, and the soldiers were shouting slogans.
These trebuchets were pushed forward so that the range could reach the barbican wall about three hundred paces behind the outer wall.
A dark-faced and long-bearded general named Yu Wenjun paused the long spear in his hand and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what are you waiting for? It's been an hour, and the wall of the outer city has long been gone.
If the enemy doesn't take advantage of this moment to attack the city with all their strength, why don't they have to wait for the enemy to reorganize and reinforce before attacking? That would be difficult!"
Another tribe leader, Duan Shu, who was slightly older, had a dark complexion, a short beard, and was dressed all over his body. He was holding a big mountain-breaking ax. He stood beside Murong Chong. After hearing Murong Jun's words, he turned around and glared: "
General Yuwen, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't His Highness less knowledgeable than you? It was agreed during the military meeting yesterday that the main force of the attack is the right general Murong Yong who is ambushing the camp. What we have to do is to attract the enemy.
The army's attention is created to create opportunities for the right general, and as soon as the enemy troops are dispatched, lead them into the camp!"
Standing next to Murong Chong, Hou Mo Chenche was tall and handsome. His waist was half a circle thicker than the others, and he was nearly nine feet tall. He didn't wear a helmet on his head, but held his head with an iron hoop.
His long and messy hair was trapped. After hearing Murong Shu's words, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "We are the main force of the army, why should we give the first victory of destroying the enemy's cavalry to Murong Yong!"
Murong Chong's face darkened, he turned back to Mo Chen Cheche and scolded: "You brat, what do you know! The key to this battle is not to capture Chang'an City, but to deal with Yang Ding's Qin cavalry.
Yang Ding hasn’t shown up yet, he obviously wants to take advantage of our failure to attack the city and attack again when our morale and physical strength are reduced, how can we be fooled by him?!"
Hou Mo Chenche's lips curled up, wanting to say something more. Suddenly, with his eyes slightly squinted, Gao Gai, who was sitting next to Murong Chong, stood up: "Your Highness, there is something going on behind the scenes!"
Murong Chong stood up all of a sudden. Like all the generals on the stage, he looked towards the rear of the camp. He saw smoke and dust rising from ten miles away. From a distance, it almost looked like a yellow dragon waving its claws in the sky.
, and under the smoke and dust in the air, there are Qin army cavalry that appear to be as dense as ants, overwhelming!
Liu Yu looked coldly at the incoming enemy cavalry at the top of the city. This time, the Qin army's coming was mostly armored cavalry with both men and horses, far from the ordinary Qin army who wore leather armor, felt hats, and used bone weapons.
The tribal cavalry making arrowheads, the sunlight reflected from the armor leaves is enough to blind people's eyes. From a distance, they look like shining luminous bodies, running closer and closer! And a golden wolf head
The banner also followed the actions of the Qin army's cavalry. The bloodthirsty fangs and sharp claws looked more and more ferocious.
Murong Chong looked calm and said to the generals around him: "Everything is going according to plan!"
Under the golden wolf flag is the leader of the Qin Army's cavalry, Yang Ding, who is known as the first warrior of the Di tribe in Qiuchi. He is nine feet long and is holding a Fangtian in his hand that seems to weigh at least sixty kilograms.
Draw a halberd, and the head of the halberd shines with a cold light, like a wolf fang, eager to drink the flesh and blood of the enemy.
Yang Ding's waist is as thick as a large water tank, and there is a large sandalwood bow on each saddle on the left and right sides, which is more than half a person tall. It seems that it has at least three stones and five buckets of bow power, and it is inserted in the
The two quivers on his back contained hundreds of long-stemmed spike arrows.
On Yang Ding's face, a long knife mark crossed his forehead, extending from the bridge of his nose on the left side to the right side of his mouth. This made his mouth look not straight, slightly tilted.
The left side is stacked, and the two front incisors seem unable to be wrapped by the lips, and stick out deeply from the lips, like a man-eating wolf.
Yang Ding's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and together with the green eyeball, they formed a very strange mixed color. If you only saw these eyes of his at night, you would definitely think they were green eyes in the desert.
Wolf. He stared at the Xiyan Army camp ten miles away. Across the camp, which was more than two miles wide, he could clearly see the Xiyan Army's catapult being pushed forward.
A deputy general next to Yang Ding whispered to Yang Ding: "General Yang Ding, Chang'an seems to have been attacked. What should we do now?"
