Tadun is still somewhat capable. He has been planning for this attack from before. Not only did he plunder a lot of people, but he also paid great attention to technical talents such as craftsmen. Therefore, this time the Wuhuan people were not only building ladders such as
They are also making simple siege equipment, including crash carts and building carts.
The Wuhuan people made siege equipment very quickly. It took tens of thousands of people only one day to make two crash carts and five tower carts, as well as countless ladders.
"Prepare to send troops, I want to capture Yuyang City in one fell swoop."
Seeing that the troops and horses were ready, Tadun gave an order for the entire army to advance towards Yuyang City.
"The enemy is coming. Go and notify the Lord immediately."
Seeing the enemies coming like a tide, Xu Rong also became stern and immediately sent someone to notify Xun Chen.
After receiving the news that the enemy was attacking the city, Xun Chen did not dare to stay and went directly to the city wall with Xian Yufu. He frowned as he watched tens of thousands of enemies forming formations on the city wall.
Just as the people on the city wall were watching the Wuhuan people, Tadun appeared under the city wall again.
"Xian Yufu, I am giving you a chance. If Kaicheng surrenders now, I will protect your name and the name of the people in the city. Otherwise, don't blame me when the city is destroyed."
Hearing Tadun's arrogant words, all the officers and soldiers in the city were filled with anger. It was really unbearable for a small Wuhuan man to dare to talk nonsense in front of them.
"Don't be angry. This is war. We will win if we defend the city."
Seeing the anger of the soldiers, Xun Chen smiled slightly and reassured his soldiers not to be angry, and then whispered a few words beside Xian Yufu.
After Xian Yufu heard Xun Chen's words, he was slightly stunned and his brows could not help but wrinkle.
"Is this really okay?"
Xian Yufu glanced at Xun Chen.
"It's okay, just do as I say. The more you behave like this now, the more he will feel that Yuyang City's defense is weak, and he will definitely attack the city with all his strength."
Xun Chen, however, nodded at Xian Yu Fu and told him to just do as he said.
"No, I understand."
Since Xun Chen insisted that Xian Yufu had nothing to say, he just went out of the city wall.
"Tandun, if I surrender, are you really willing to let me and the people in this city go?"
Xian Yufu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then asked him.
"Of course, what I said before the army attacks all counts. You Han people don't say that a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so don't worry."
After hearing Xian Yufu's words, Tadun was also extremely excited and replied towards the city wall.
"Well, Kaicheng's surrender is not a trivial matter. I always have to discuss it with the people in the city. You can lead your army to retreat now. Give me five days and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. How about it?"
Now that Tadun had spoken, Xian Yufu had nothing to say, so he directly told Xun Chen what he had said.
"Five days?
I'm afraid you're stalling for time, waiting for your reinforcements?
Do you really think I’m stupid?”
Tadun glanced at Xian Yufu and was dumbfounded. He didn't regard himself as a human being.
"Then three days, how about I give you a reply in three days."
Sure enough, Tadun was not a fool, and Xian Yufu's originally sullen face relaxed slightly.
"Three days is a long time. I will give you half a day at most. If you don't give me a reply after half a day, I will attack the city directly."
Tadun rolled his eyes at Xian Yufu and turned around directly to return to the army.
"Your Majesty, how is it?
Order the soldiers to rest temporarily?
Wait until there is an answer before attacking?"
A captain of ten thousand men glanced at Tadun and spoke to him.
"We can't stop. The reason why he said this was to delay the arrival of reinforcements from Youzhou. The more he did this, the more he proved that he was not confident in his city defense. He ordered the soldiers to hurry up and prepare. It only takes half a day.
.”
Tadun was not stupid either. He had guessed Xian Yufu's intention immediately and directly ordered the people below to continue preparing for war. Once Xian Yufu did not surrender, he would immediately launch an attack.
"No, I understand."
Upon hearing Tadun's order, tens of thousands of troops immediately began to prepare, and siege equipment was slowly deployed under the city.
"Sir, they seem to have been fooled."
Seeing Tadun's men preparing siege equipment, Xian Yufu also beamed with joy and spoke to Xun Chen.
"Haha, Tadun is not a fool. He must now think that Yuyang's troops are insufficient, and he will definitely send troops to attack. Then we will see our performance, Xu Rong."
Xun Chen nodded. The reason why he asked Xian Yufu to speak like this was because he saw that Ta Dun was not an easy person. He could definitely see the reason for saying this. And this is what is called I predicted your prediction. In this way, Ta Dun
Dun will definitely attack the city at all costs, this is what he wants to see.
"exist."
Xu Rong directly cupped his fist at Xun Chen.
"Next, it depends on your organizational skills. You have to ensure that the defensive force is not too large to make the enemy despair, and you also have to ensure that the city wall is not lost. Can you do it?"
Xun Chen glanced at Xu Rong and directly issued an arduous order.
"Xu Rong promises to complete the task."
Xu Rong clasped his fists at Xun Chen, saying that he would definitely complete the task.
"Okay, Xian Yufu, let's go down to the city wall and leave this place to Xu Rong."
Now that Xu Rong has made his statement, Xun Chen also believes that he can definitely do it, and there is no point in them being here. Instead, they need the protection of soldiers to distract them.
"promise."
Xian Yufu clasped his fists and then followed Xun Chen down the city wall, where Xu Rong was given full responsibility.
"Everyone is prepared to be on guard. You must give me a leisurely attack. Don't scare the Wuhuan people to the point of peeing."
Xu Rong looked at the Wuhuan people below the city, smiled slightly, and shouted directly to the soldiers beside him.
"Don't worry, I will never beat their shit out."
"Let the little bastard do it."
"Mere Wuhuan people dare to act recklessly in our Han territory. I guarantee that they will never come back."
A group of soldiers were also fearless, and they all chatted and laughed at the Wuhuan enemies below.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
After almost half a day, the captain in charge of the siege equipment came directly to Tadun and reported the situation to him.
"good."
Tadun nodded and rode forward again to the bottom of the city wall.
"Xian Yufu, how are you thinking?"
Hearing Tadun's shouting, Xu Rong on the city wall grabbed a war bow and pulled it open.
"Tandun, wait and see, this is the answer from my eunuch."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud-piercing arrow suddenly shot out and shot toward Tadun at the foot of the city.
"clang."
Tadun turned the spear sideways in his hand and directly chopped away the incoming bow and arrow. Looking at the soldiers waiting on the city wall, he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Then don't blame me."
Tadun turned his horse around and ran towards the army.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Seeing the cold arrows placed on the city wall, some personal guards immediately came to question him.
"I'm fine. A mere hidden arrow can't hurt me. Immediately order the army to blow the trumpet and attack the city."
Tadun's face was filled with frost and he directly ordered his soldiers to attack the city.
"Woooooooo,"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Continuous horn horns resounded throughout the sky, and tens of thousands of Wuhuan people began to carry ladders, push columbuses and crash carts to attack Yuyang City. At the same time, 10,000 cavalrymen who had been ready grasped the bows in their hands, ready to suppress the city wall at any time.
The Youzhou guards on the mountain.
"Archers prepare."
Seeing the Wuhuan people launching an attack, Xu Rong gave the order directly, and the archers on the city wall bent their bows and set arrows, ready to scatter deadly arrows on the heads of the Wuhuan people at any time.
"Throw sandbags and fill the river."
Medal, the commander in charge at the front, directly ordered the soldiers in the front row to drop the sandbags on their shoulders and backfill the moat.
"Fire arrows to suppress them."
Seeing that the enemy had entered the shooting range of bows and arrows, Xu Rong gave an order, and countless bows and arrows fell from the sky, drowning the enemies on the moat like a heavy rain.
"Don't panic. Wherever the shield hand is, jump up immediately to protect the soldiers filling the river. The soldiers in the back row continue to move forward."
Meidal had nothing to say when he saw the enemy's fierce rain of arrows. After all, the Han people's strongest weapons were weapons such as bows, crossbows and swords. Facing such a rain of arrows, he had expected it.
Soon the soldiers in the back row rushed to the front carrying shields to form a shield wall, while the soldiers in the back row carried sandbags and continued to fill the moat outside Yuyang City.
"Ejection to the rear."
When Xu Rong saw that the enemy had shields in the front row, he did not hesitate and directly ordered the archers to throw them to the rear, causing maximum damage.
For a time, the soldiers in the front row were safe, but the soldiers in the back row were faced with a rain of arrows, and they were instantly killed and wounded.
"The cavalry came forward to suppress the archers on the enemy's wall."
Seeing the archers on the enemy's city wall starting to show off their power, Tadun directly ordered the cavalry in full formation to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The horn sounded again, and 10,000 cavalrymen instantly mobilized, running towards the city wall like a hurricane with rumbling horse hooves.
"General, the enemy's cavalry is coming."
Upon seeing the enemy cavalry launch, a captain came to report immediately.
"This is when the enemy's cavalry is about to launch a projectile to suppress the city wall. Order the shields to be set up to protect the archers. The archers should project towards the east forty-five."
Xu Rong naturally also saw traces of the enemy's cavalry. This was the usual method of the Hu people. Without powerful long-range attack methods and no trebuchets, they could only rely on the cavalry to maneuver. When the horses were fast enough, they could use the kinetic energy of the bow and arrow.
It can shoot arrows to the top of the city and suppress the archers on the wall.
But what they encountered this time was the battle-hardened Xu Rong and his 20,000 elite Liangzhou infantry.
"Fire the arrow."
After seeing that the horse speed and distance were suitable, Amuda, the commander directly under Tadun, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot the arrow in his hand at the city wall.
For a time, 10,000 cavalrymen transformed into 10,000 elite archers, and followed Amuda to scatter bows and arrows towards Yuyang City.
"defense."
When the arrow rain came, Xu Rong directly ordered the defense.
"Royal."
"Royal."
"Royal."
Shields were erected directly, covering the entire city wall. At the same time, the archers collectively turned their bows and arrows and placed the target in the direction mentioned by Xu Rong.
