Eight hundred and seventieth chapters attack Hechi
Chapter 873 Attacking Hechi
The soldiers under Qu Ding stopped one by one, and under the command of their respective commanders, they began to charge towards Xun You's army behind them.
"Destroy them."
Seeing that the enemy dared to counterattack, Ju Yi immediately became angry. He swung his spear and galvanized his horse and rushed over. Behind him were the wolves and tigers of the Xianden troops.
More than 5,000 Quding troops faced huge pressure and fought directly with Ju Yi's soldiers and horses. Ju Yi was like the god of war, riding his horse and boasting about his spear, slashing horizontally and vertically, as if he were in an uninhabited land.
The first army was also overwhelming and directly tore apart the Quding army, killing some enemies that were difficult to parry.
"The top of the song is here, and the thief will take your life."
Seeing that his soldiers and horses were beaten so miserably, Qu Ding felt that his forehead was going to explode. He rode his horse towards Ju Yi without hesitation. Even though he was not as powerful as Del, he could only kill Ju Yi now.
Procrastinate for more time.
Seeing Qu Ding rushing towards him, Ju Yi stabbed the enemy beside him to death with one shot, then swung his gun and rode towards Qu Ding.
With a crisp sound, Qu Ding's spear collided directly with Ju Yi's spear. Qu Ding felt a huge force coming towards him, the tiger's mouth burst open, and the spear almost flew out.
Gritting his teeth, Qu Ding held the gun with both hands and stabbed Ju Yi again.
"clang."
Ju Yi swung his gun with the crossbar, directly knocking Qu Ding's spear away, and then pierced Qu Ding's chest with another shot, and then slammed him to the ground.
"Captain of Ten Thousands."
"revenge."
Seeing Qu Ding being assassinated by Ju Yi, the captains on both sides roared loudly and rushed towards Ju Yi to kill him.
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”
Seeing the two people coming towards him, Ju Yi sneered a little. He held the weapons of the two people on the crossbar of his spear, then used force to fly them away, and then stabbed them all to death on the horse with two lightning shots.
Although they killed three enemy generals in a row, the Quding Army was still fighting hard, even a little crazy. However, even so, facing the even crazier First Army, it was still a bit disappointing.
As time went by, the number of Quding's army became smaller and smaller. In the end, the remaining two or three thousand people could no longer resist and had no choice but to kneel down and surrender to Xun You's army.
"The Zhenxi Army divided out 10,000 soldiers and horses to collect the prisoners, while the rest continued to pursue the enemy."
Xun You didn't care at all about the surrender of the army in front of him. The army did not stop and continued to pursue the enemy. However, with the obstruction of Quding Army, it was impossible to catch up with Dou Mao's army.
After entering the city and closing the door, Dou Mao was relieved, but as soon as he counted the losses, he couldn't calm down anymore.
When he went out, he had 60,000 soldiers and horses, but only a few thousand cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry came back with him. It can be said that he was beaten back to the primitive tribe in the first battle.
"Is Quding back?"
Climbing the city wall and looking at the sky outside, Dou Mao directly asked the people around him.
"No, his troops haven't come back either, I'm afraid."
The guard glanced at Dou Mao and couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"Hey, it's a good idea to arrange for Qu Ding and the family of the captain under his command."
Dou Mao also had a dark face. He could stand up for his wife at the critical moment. Now that he has died, the only thing he can do is make good arrangements for his family.
"promise."
"Instructions to guard the city wall strictly."
"promise."
Xun You's army rushed to the city. Under Xun You's order, the army directly set up camp. Then the casualties were counted. The army's casualties were still within an acceptable range. There were only a few thousand casualties. The cavalry suffered slightly more losses. The total loss of the two was less than 10,000.
With five thousand casualties, annihilating nearly forty thousand enemies can be considered a great victory.
"Military advisor, how should we fight next? Should we attack the city while the iron is hot?"
Ju Yi rushed to Xun You in the big tent and clasped his fists.
"how to spell?
The army has just passed through Sanguan and is tired. It has experienced the battle just now. Let's rest for a day. During this period, we can build siege equipment and attack the city early the day after tomorrow."
Xun You thought for a while and rejected Ju Yi's proposal. Now that the army is tired, it is not impossible to let the soldiers attack the city now, but now that they have arrived at Hechi City, there is no need to be so anxious. Let's take a rest first and take the opportunity to build a siege.
instrument.
"promise."
After listening to Xun You's order, Ju Yi had nothing to say. He was the Mu of Liangzhou, and the military advisor for this operation naturally had to obey his orders in everything. Besides, the army was indeed a little tired now, so it would be a good idea to take a rest.
The next day, the army began to cut wood everywhere and transport it to the camp to build siege equipment.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Outside the city, Xun You was working in full swing, but in Hechi City, it was gloomy and everyone was immersed in pessimism.
"what to do?
We still have less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy only has 40,000 to 50,000 people. We rely on the Hechi City Wall, and it is impossible for them to capture us.
I admit that they are very capable in the field, but I don't believe that they can break through my river. As long as I block them for a month or two, there will definitely be problems with their food and grass, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops by then. I, Dou Mao, have the final say in this Wudu County.
"
Although the situation below was gloomy and gloomy, Dou Mao did not lose hope. After all, they were the natives here and Xun You was just an outsider. As long as he could rely on Hechi City to hold off the enemy, the final victory would still belong to him.
"promise."
After listening to Dou Mao's words, everyone's morale improved a little, and then they left.
Early in the morning on the third day, Xun You's army left the camp and came directly to the gate of Hechi City.
"Dou Mao, if you surrender now, I can report it to the lord and give you a reward for surrendering. Your status as king of Di will be retained. If you don't surrender and you still have to resist, you will die when the city is broken."
After receiving Xun You's order, Ju Yi rode forward alone, came to the bottom of the city and shouted loudly at Dou Mao at the top of the city.
"Surrender, I still have 50,000 elite soldiers to defend the city. If you are able, you can attack the city wall."
Dou Mao on the city wall couldn't help but sneered when he heard Ju Yi's words, but he just defeated himself, and now he is shouting at the bottom of the city, I surrender, you bastard.
"Haha, I hope you won't regret it then."
After hearing Dou Mao's answer, Ju Yi also sneered, "Boy, what I want is for you not to surrender, otherwise the military exploits and opportunities will be given to you. Since you want to seek death on your own, don't regret it."
"roll."
Dou Mao straightened his bow and nocked an arrow, and an arrow shot through the sky toward Ju Yi.
"clang."
Ju Yi directly waved his gun to deflect the incoming arrows, and then returned directly to the army without looking back.
"Military advisor, Dou Mao refuses to surrender."
Ju Yi came to Xun You and reported to him.
"I saw it, beating the drums and getting ready to attack the city."
Xun You nodded to Ju Yi, and then directly ordered the army to attack the city.
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
The continuous sound of war drums resounded throughout the sky, and the craftsman team pushed the cart loaded with trebuchet accessories out of the military formation and began to assemble the trebuchet.
"What it is?"
Seeing the trebuchet being assembled under the city, Dou Mao on the city wall was immediately dumbfounded. What kind of thing was this? Why had he never seen it before?
"have no idea."
Dou Mao was confused, and the generals under his command were also the same. They all stared at the city with wide eyes.
The trebuchets were not assembled quickly, but no one stopped them. In only half an hour at most, twenty trebuchets were assembled.
"Military advisor, the trebuchet has been assembled."
Although Xun You is now the shepherd of Liangzhou, his soldiers are still willing to call him military advisor, and Xun You is also happy for his soldiers to call him this.
Because the state pastor is only temporary, no matter what official you are, as long as you fight, you must obey the command of the military advisor. With the exception of Yuan Shu, as long as you fight, the military advisor can command anyone at a higher level.
"Okay, order the Zhenxi Army to prepare for the attack and launch the trebuchets to let these natives know how powerful our Jizhou Army is."
Xun You nodded, and now I will show you how the turtle shell that you are so proud of was broken.
"promise."
Xun You's order was passed directly to the trebuchet. When the captain in charge of the trebuchet heard the order, he did not hesitate and directly began to command the trebuchet to prepare for the attack.
"All trebuchets, target city wall, one heavy bomb, calibrate fire, release."
Following the captain's order, the twenty trebuchets each began to calibrate. After the calibration was completed, heavy bullets pierced the void and hit the head of Hechi City like meteorites.
