Sure enough, under Tan Shihuai's encouragement, the momentum of these Xianbei people who had been frustrated during the attack was once again aroused. Everyone regarded death as if they were home. After vigorously worshiping the heroes who died in the battle at night, they prepared for tomorrow's battle.
They were preparing for battle. This time, even the neighing of horses at night could not distract them from fatigue. The only thing in their minds was to capture the city in front of them!
In the early morning of the next day, following Tan Shihuai's order, the Xianbei people were divided into four columns. The first column was the first to attack. Each of them held a ladder, and some held a large shield to block the ladder in front of the car, and then headed towards
They launched a charge towards the city. Bao Hong still took the lead and shot the first feather arrow first. His arrow skills were quite good. He penetrated the neck of a Xianbei soldier in one go and sprayed blood for several feet!
Many soldiers also drew their bows and shot arrows. However, the Xianbei people were already prepared for this. They used their large shields to defend themselves in front of the ladder soldiers and quickly moved towards the city. Most of the arrows were filled with those.
The large shield had no effect on the soldiers under the large shield. When Bao Hong saw it, he immediately ordered to stop shooting arrows and wait for the right opportunity.
The most suitable time is naturally when these Xianbei people are climbing the ladder. Shooting rashly now is simply a waste of these arrows. After Bao Hong gave the order, the four city gates also stopped shooting one after another. When the enemy
After arriving at the city, Bao Hong suddenly discovered that these Xianbei people carrying ladders also had some small wooden shields hanging on their backs, wrapped in cowhide and wool. When they arrived at the city, those large shields directly covered their heads.
And they directly picked up the small shield, held it in front of them, and started climbing with one hand. Unless they were those with amazing arm strength among the Han army, the rest could not effectively kill the Xianbei people. Even the Han army
The big killing weapon, even the rain of arrows, could not have much effect on the Xianbei people. In desperation, Bao Hong could only order some stones and other heavy objects to be hit!
Some of the stones and other heavy objects would be resisted by the large shields, and some would be crushed directly with the shields. The four or five Xianbei soldiers who raised their shields were crushed to death. Bao Hong kept lifting the stones like a madman.
, and threw it downwards, but the Xianbei people's offensive was also very fierce. In this entanglement, the Xianbei people slowly gained the upper hand by virtue of their numerical advantage!
After all, the Han army only had no more than 10,000 people. Including the soldiers from counties and counties who came to help, there were only 7,000 or 8,000 people. They were scattered on the four city walls. There were only more than 2,000 Han troops stationed on each city wall.
They took turns to counterattack, but also spent a lot of energy. In the end, a steady stream of Xianbei people attacked the city wall from the west gate, and followed the footsteps of the first Xianbei people to the top of the city in Guzang County.
The rest of the Xianbei people also followed him to the top of the city. Tan Shihuai saw this scene from below, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
In the face of absolute power, any small tricks will be useless!
Zhang Xu, who was exploring all directions on the top of the city, was shocked when he saw the scene at the west gate. As long as the Xianbei people opened the gap from the west gate, there would be no way to block it, and the garrison of the other three gates would become a joke. He
With his eyes widened, he looked at the soldiers who stood up one after another and used their last strength to fight desperately with the Xianbei people, and actually felt a little reluctant to retreat!
At this time, following the whistles unique to the grassland, Chelizu led many Qiang soldiers to the west gate city wall. These Qiang people had not experienced battle yet and were still a new force. When they joined
After the battlefield at the west gate, for the Xianbei people on the city wall, the fighting turned into a simple massacre. How could a group of soldiers who had worked so hard to climb to the top of the city be a match for the Qiang warriors who had been trained for a long time?
Cherizu roared angrily, holding a big shield, and slammed into the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people howled miserably and flew directly out of the city wall, falling to pieces. After the reinforcements joined in, the exhausted Han soldiers
, was also extremely ferocious, and attacked continuously. The ladders that the Xianbei people had erected with difficulty at the west gate were pushed down by the Han army one after another, and the breakthrough at the west gate immediately failed!
Qili and many soldiers prepared to coordinate defense at the top of the city. Bao Hong turned his head, looked at him, and roared: "No garrison allowed! Continue to serve as reinforcements!" Qili opened his mouth, but could not speak.
, looking at Bao Hong who was using his spear to kill the Xianbei people who were climbing up one after another, with blood all over his body, he helplessly walked down the city.
Under the city, Tan Shihuai's face gradually became ugly. He originally planned to capture the county in just one day. Later, it took two more days to finally open the gap, and he was immediately captured by the city.
You were defeated by reinforcements. Faced with yourself and the siege of Tan Shihuai, the king of the grassland, you still dare to hide your army in the name of reinforcements? This makes Tan Shihuai a little unhappy!
He immediately ordered the second line of soldiers to start charging!
The soldiers in the first row retreated slowly, and the soldiers in the second row began to charge. However, the Han army could not rest and was extremely exhausted. Sure enough, not long after, Ximen was once again captured by the Xianbei people.
Breakthrough, and Cheri's retreat was like a retreat of support. Later, the east gate and south gate were forced repeatedly. Cheri's retreat, which was originally relatively relaxed, began to feel tired!
The Qiang soldiers, who led less than 2,000 people, blocked all the gaps.
The number of Qiang soldiers has also been reduced to more than a thousand. Cheriza's face was covered with blood, and he looked ferociously at the Xianbei army under the city. Among the four city gates, only the north gate where Bao Hong was located had never been guarded.
Defeated by the Xianbei people!
Amidst the repeated offensive charges, Guzang County still stands firm here!
Tan Shihuai had a gloomy face and waved his hand. The remnants of the second column were slowly defeated. The spear in Bao Hong's hand fell, and his hands were trembling. He still didn't have the strength to lift the spear again.
With his spear fired, Tan Shihuai looked at the city head coldly and waved his hand again. The Xianbei people in the third column roared and charged. Bao Hong looked at the charging Xianbei soldiers in a daze, his expression a little numb.
Among the crowd, Zhang Xu looked at these soldiers. He knew in his heart that these soldiers had reached a critical point and were facing collapse. However, Tan Shihuai still had many soldiers, and he could completely grind them down bit by bit in the city.
All the defenders could no longer hold on. Alas, where should they hide later, and where should they escape? At this time, Zhang Xu was already mentally prepared to escape.
Tan Shihuai also sneered, looked at Si Fu next to him, and said: "I'm going to sleep for a while. When the city is broken, wake me up!!" After speaking domineeringly, he returned directly to the camp and returned to
He did not sleep in the camp, but looked carefully at the map he drew. He needed to determine the direction of the Han army's reinforcements. If he thought correctly, the Han army's reinforcements should be led by Duan Xi.
If he marches in a hurry, he will be able to arrive in four or five days. He must quickly capture the county seat, completely cut off the connection between the west and the Han Dynasty, and expand the territory of Xianbei! In the future, Helian will be able to compete with the Han Dynasty with such a huge territory.
