Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 333 Withdrawal!

The surrounding high mountains tower into the sky, and a pass built against the mountains stands in the middle of the avenue.

A gust of wind blows from the Qinling Mountains, blowing off the slightly yellowed leaves, causing them to hover and fall in the air.Under the seemingly silent city, the voices of a few farmers talking could be heard from time to time, which was incompatible with the scene of mutilated corpses with broken arms and blood flowing on the tower.

The season of October, in the eyes of the common people, should be the best season.The busy year of farming is almost coming to an end, and the children of the family can also be free to learn literacy and etiquette.If there are poor people in the clan, after the autumn harvest, the well-to-do people in the clan will also give some relief.

But in recent years, it has been different. Whether it is for the people of Cao Wei or the people of the Han Dynasty, they are getting poorer every year. It is a problem to have enough to eat.

The only good news may be that winter is coming, maybe the war will stop, and the people who are in corvee can go home to reunite with their families.

"Where is Group A, send the golden juice up."

On the tower, a soldier of the Han army shouted in a rough voice.

The farmers' chatter was interrupted, and the leader waved his hand and replied loudly: "Group A is here."

After finishing speaking, the peasants covered their mouths and noses with sackcloth, lifted the urn filled with gold juice in the corner, and walked up the city ladder step by step.

Not long after, Liu Yin and his party went to the narrow city stairs, followed the civilian husband and sniffed the suffocatingly strong 'fragrance'.

Without changing his face, Liu Yin walked up to the city wall and nodded to the saluting soldiers and farmers.

Seeing Liu Yin going to the city, Liu Lin greeted him, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Liu Dangkou."

The corners of Liu Yin's mouth rose slightly, and he saluted back, asking: "Tong'an, Liu Powei. How is the enemy's offensive today?"

Liu Lin pointed to the Wei army who was resting not far from the city, with a worried expression on his face, he said: "Today's offensive is very fierce. Before dawn, the anti-Wei army sent out to attack the city, and I have led the team to force back three waves of Wei army offensives. "

Liu Yin stepped forward, looked up at the Wei army formation, stroked the rough city wall, and asked, "Liu Powei, how long can we hold on?"

Liu Lin pressed his sword and thought for a moment, and after a while, he replied truthfully: "If you defend three more waves of Wei army's attack, you should be safe."

Liu Yin patted the city wall, and said in a deep voice, "I'm sending you five hundred Qiang Di tribesmen, can you keep today?"

Hearing this, Liu Lin replied immediately: "Is there any way I can't!"

Liu Yin nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Although there are still hundreds of people from the Qiang and Di tribes today, many of them don't know how our army defends the city, and they still need training. Enter the army defending the city."

When Liu Yin was about to take over the defense line of Maling Pass more than ten days ago, Liu Lin and his subordinates were dissatisfied with Liu Yin, and believed that Liu Yin was not needed, and the city could be defended only by himself and the follow-up reinforcements.

Liu Yin pretended not to know, went to the barracks for a few days, learned about the method of defending the city that Liu Lin had arranged before, and vigorously rectified the structure of the civilian husbands, arranged groups for the civilian husbands to perform their duties, improved efficiency, and saved manpower.

In the next few days of resisting the Wei army's attack, Liu Lin and others clearly felt that the defense of the city was more orderly, and gradually no longer rejected Liu Yin.Then Liu Yin persuaded Liu Lin to readjust the personnel arrangement of the soldiers defending the city, and selected the Qiang and Di tribes who lacked experience in defending the city for training, and slowly mixed them into the Han army's defense team.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was a desolate horn sound outside the city.

Countless people gathered under the city, and the infantry of the Wei Army brigade chanted and pushed Lv Gongcar towards the city wall. Hundreds of cavalry on both wings lined up, and the Chinese Army's "Wei" tooth flag stood up behind the formation.

Liu Yin and Liu Lin looked at each other and were surprised. The Wei army is different today. The third wave of offensive has only retreated a little. It didn't take long for the fourth wave of offensive to start. Could it be that the Wei army has changed...

But Liu Lin couldn't think about it that much anymore, and led his ministries to patrol the city tower, calling for all groups of soldiers to take their positions; Liu Yin stood calmly on the high place of the city tower, commanding all the ministries to fight.

Liu Lin's tall and straight body stepped on every corner of the city wall, bringing peace of mind to the soldiers.

"Boom!"

A moment later, there was loud drumming, and the bows and crossbowmen of the Wei army outside the city drew strings like a crescent moon. Thousands of arrows suddenly appeared, and the sound of piercing the air suddenly sounded. At the top of the city, help the generals and soldiers of the Wei army who are pushing Lu Gong's chariot to suppress the crossbowmen at the top of the city.

"Get ready to go upstairs!"

There was a burst of orders from under Mr. Lu's car, and the heavily armored sergeant waited for the body to approach from under the car. At that time, he would pass the spiral ladder in the car to the roof of the car and climb over the city wall.

"on!"

After a while, the body of the car approached the city wall, and the commander of Wei Jun shouted loudly.

"Come on!"

The soldiers of the Wei army held shields in their left hands and spears in their right, and went up to the roof of the car through the spiral ladder. Several people on the suspension bridge formed a shield wall and moved forward slowly, reaching the city wall.

"Raise the spear!"

On the wall stack directly opposite the suspension bridge, the soldiers of the Han army held their spears and formed a gun formation, waiting in full swing.

Liu Lin held the sword in his right hand and the lance in his left, walking back and forth between several wall stacks, ready to rescue everywhere.

"Hold on! Hold on!" Liu Lin yelled loudly, pushing and shoving several timid Han soldiers along the way.

At this time, the generals of the Wei army had already approached the crenel. On the extremely narrow suspension bridge, countless spears pierced through, bringing out bloody shots, and the screams were endless.

The brave Qiang Di people held sharp Han spears and stabbed several people to death in succession, screaming excitedly.The soldiers of the Han army were more calm and orderly, forming an airtight spear according to the formation.

A Wei Jun Xiandeng was lucky enough to cut down several people in front of him. When he first climbed the city wall, several spears protruded, pierced his chest, and died tragically on the city wall.

The tight defense arranged by Liu Yin did not give Wei Jun a chance to steal chickens at all.

But as the war progressed, the Wei army's offensive became more and more fierce.No matter how good the arrangement is, it cannot ignore the disadvantage in numbers.

Facing the ferocious siege of the Wei army today, Liu Yin, who was originally commanding from the high platform, also had to be moved.

"Bring up all the Qiang people!" Facing Liu Lin's request for help, Liu Yincang drew his sword and shouted loudly.

Except for the two personal guards who rushed to the city to deliver the order, the rest of the personal guards followed Liu Yin and rushed towards the crumbling defense line.

Along the way, Liu Yin also yelled at the soldiers of the Han army: "After the city is broken, the Wei army will slaughter the city. We are not waiting for the country, but for ourselves!"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers of the Han army cheered up, and with the support of the people of Qiang and Di, they pushed the soldiers of the Wei army out of the tower again.

This is Liu Yin's strategy of attacking the heart, to make the defenders of the city work together and fight with their backs.

At dusk, Liu Yin and others repelled the sixth wave of the Wei army's attack, and the churning city tower finally calmed down.

Not far from the city, under the banner of Wei Junya, Wei Zhen looked at Maling Pass with a gloomy expression.

Yesterday, he received an edict from the imperial court ordering him to withdraw his troops. Unwilling, Wei Zhen decided to launch a final fight today. If he can break through the pass, there is still room for maneuver.

But it's a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes!

Wei Zhen turned around and sighed, and said, "Order the whole army to rest tonight and withdraw tomorrow."

"promise!"
