Seeing that the fighting in the city has not subsided, we were not late anyway. Even if we all died here, we would tell the defenders that follow-up reinforcements would be arriving soon.
The Tuyuhun people can't play for a few days anymore.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" the Han cavalry shouted in unison.
Thousands of cavalry were like arrows flying from the string, directly attacking Tuyuhun's stronghold outside the east gate.
The soldiers and horses besieging Liang Qucong came from the northeast and northwest. In fact, the soldiers and horses in Dazhai outside the east gate had not yet had time to mobilize, and they were still waiting and watching. Obviously Murong Shifu did not intend to send all the soldiers and horses.
When entering the battle, you have to guard against the defenders in the city to avoid being caught in a "fight between snipe and clam" by the Han army in the city, which would be a huge loss.
As a result, Murong Shifu never expected that before the Han troops in the city moved, there were already angrily attacking Han troops outside the city.
Where did the cavalry come from? What was Murong Fuyun doing?!
Murong Shifu was furious.
Whether it is the Battle of Wuwei or the Battle of Zhangye, the Han cavalry will come out on time to cause trouble.
Is this over yet?
Why didn't Murong Fuyun stop him?
What Murong Shifu didn't know was that Murong Fuyun also wanted to stop him, but all the cavalry under his command were badly damaged, and many of them were mobilized by Murong Shifu in advance to guard against Liang Qu.
Possible rebellion of onions.
Using infantry to block the cavalry, Murong Fuyun was more than willing but lacking in strength.
All we can do is helpless.
Therefore, if Murong Fuyun were here at this time, he might not be able to help but hold his brother's head and cry.
It’s so hard for us!
But it's hard to get back, and we can't let the Han cavalry rush in just like that. There can't be one more troublemaker in this chaotic situation!
The shouts of the Han army soldiers tore through the night.
"Boom!" The artillery in the city also roared.
The cannonballs were whipped by the wind and cut through the sky, flashing light.
The North Gate and the East Gate were heavily bombarded by the Han army at the same time.
This time when he came to Zhangye, Yu Wenxin also used surprise attacks as his primary method. His troops were very fast, so he did not bring too many artillery. Later, when he defended the city, the artillery was not used much, and the city wall was breached. Street fighting ensued.
Not to mention, the artillery was of no use except against the trebuchets on the city.
At this time, the Han artillerymen seemed to be planning to pour all their pent-up anger and extra shells on the city gate!
It was probably the only time in history that the defenders, who had been compressed into the city and had to engage in street fighting, were able to unleash such a strong attack momentum.
Immediately following the bombardment was a dense rain of gunfire.
The bullets all hit the wall, causing dust to fly up.
And the fire in the city started to light up little by little, and soon the entire Zhangye City was lit up with torches, and there were no one knows how many Han soldiers there were, as if they were emerging from the ground.
"Kill!" the Han soldiers roared.
Waves of sound followed closely behind the gunshots and beat against the city wall.
"Kill!" The sound of gunfire in the city made Wei Yuancheng even more energetic.
The defenders still have the power to counterattack, so we must rush forward!
The Han cavalry was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Tuyuhun's camp.
"Ah ah ah!"
Most of them have not actually faced off against the Han cavalry directly, but they have also heard from Tuyuhun scouts and cavalry that there is an unworthy young general among the Han cavalry. After confronting him, if
If you don't want to have your head ripped open, it's best to run as far as you can.
Therefore, even Xue Ju himself did not know that his reputation among the Tuyuhun army was actually greater than that of Wei Yuancheng, Xue Wang and others.
When Xue Ju made such a charge, how could the Tuyuhun people dare to stop him? He was just shooting arrows from a distance.
However, there was a group of cavalry who were more courageous. They pulled up the horse rope and rushed forward.
We can't beat you in a head-to-head confrontation, but if you pull up the stumbling rope, I don't believe you can still jump over it.
It's just that in their eyes, Xue Ju is a bad person, but in fact, Xue Ju doesn't have no one around him.
The Han cavalry immediately accelerated, spread out to both sides, and fired with the muskets in their hands, or directly smashed javelins, axes, or meteor hammers.
The sound of horses neighing was endless, and the Tuyuhun cavalryman who had pulled up the horse rope had already fallen off his horse.
The seemingly insurmountable stumbling rope scraped a distance on the ground and then stopped, like a dead snake.
Xue Ju directly rode his horse over the iron rope and continued to move forward. At the same time, he glanced at the corpses on the ground: Do you really think I am the same person?
idiot!
Xue Ju's main mission has actually been clarified a long time ago. He is the tip of the knife, the chisel, responsible for tearing apart the enemy's defense. To expand the advantage later, the whole knife must be used together, and the hammer must be used together.
Use force!
Xue Ju is not the kind of fool who only knows how to use brute force.
The Han cavalry kept throwing thunderbolts to the left and right, causing the Tuyuhun cavalry to dare not move forward.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the middle of the east camp.
The great scroll of King Tuyuhun is right in front of you.
However, all the military camps here are already empty. Murong Shifu is not stupid. He saw the enemy coming with ferocious force and didn't run away and wait to kill him?
"Broken!" Xue Ju shouted and hit the big scroll with a hammer.
Dahu fell down in response.
The Han army officers and soldiers cheered in unison.
At this time, as if in response to their shouts, the killing sounds in the north of the city that had almost died down rose again.
The dark night before dawn was particularly lively for a while.
——————————
A quarter of an hour ago, in the north of the city, Liang Qucong camped.
Murong Xiaojun and Murong Chezhong's counterattack came very quickly. Liang Qucong's troops, who originally seemed to be very brave, were quickly chased back like ducks.
Liang Qucong's face looked a bit confused.
But the gap in strength is a fact.
If he could easily defeat Murong Xiaojun and others, where would it be their turn to point fingers above his head now?
So it is normal to fail to beat, but abnormal to beat.
What's more, the formation set up by Murong Xiaojun and Murong Chezhong meant that he was more wary of himself than the Han army. Liang Qucong himself had no idea that he could defeat it.
His main task was just to create chaos and attract Murong's attention.
The middle-aged man standing next to Liang Qucong held a horizontal knife in his hand and looked calm.
Although his face was somewhat uncaring, Liang Qucong couldn't care less: "Brother Tian, chaos has begun now. When will your army arrive?"
This middle-aged man is Tian Duan, who took over Chen Yutong's white robe.
After the chaos broke out in the northwest, he personally rushed to the northwest to contact those in various tribes in Tuyuhun who were originally dissatisfied with the Murong family.
The plan itself is top secret. Even many white robes in the northwest don't know that their boss is actually in the enemy's formation not far away, and is also captured by Liang Qucong, one of the top generals among the Tuyuhun tribes.
