Fufeng Song

Chapter 78 The Battle of Jinyang

The four gates of Jiexiu were all sealed with earth and rocks, making it difficult to open them for a while.Therefore, Lu Chang hurriedly ordered to hang down the city wall with long cables, and let Ding Miao and others climb to the city.

The enemy army besieged the city with tens of thousands of people, and it was difficult for birds to cross the city. Who would have thought that Ding Miao would be so bold that he pretended to be a high-ranking official of the Xiongnu, swaggering past numerous checkpoints, and arrived at the city of Jiexiu.As a result, the army and the people are all excited.When Ding Miao loudly announced that the reinforcements were coming soon, cheers could be heard for miles outside the city.

The cheers of the defenders did not stop, only to hear the drums and thunder outside the city, and another wave of siege troops came from all sides.The troops mobilized this time were far more than the previous time, and there were even several fresh troops that had been recharging their energy all the time, surrounded by the towering ladders and flying towers.

The flying tower is several feet high, the top is flush with Jiexiu's city wall, and the flying bridge is paved with wooden boards more than two feet wide.Once close to the city wall, the army can directly attack the head of the city along the flying bridge.The surroundings of the flying building are covered with cowhide, so nothing can be done to wait for Jianshi to do nothing.There are ten wooden wheels under the flying building, and more than a hundred big men hide in the building and push them, running like giant beasts, everyone who sees it is terrified.

It was extremely time-consuming to manufacture the flying towers. The Huns used all the artisans accompanying the army to rush to work day and night. At this time, only one was built, and two more were under construction.After the original plan was completed, all the will be used to break the city in one fell swoop.But at this moment, perhaps irritated by Ding Miao's actions, the Huns directly threw a completed ladder flying building into the battlefield.

For such huge siege equipment, neither bows nor rolling logs and stones can cause substantial damage.The defenders urgently mobilized dozens of crossbowmen to shoot them with rockets, and the Hu people covered the flames with sand.Although several fires were ignited, but the flying building was too huge, and it was unknown how long it would take to burn it down.

In a blink of an eye, the flying tower leaned against the city.Amidst the loud bang, the city wall shook.The barbarians outside the city roared and cheered wildly, as if they were crazy, and hundreds of particularly fierce barbarian soldiers rushed to the top of the city along the flying bridge.

Although the flying bridge has been built as wide as possible, the specifications are limited after all, and the soldiers have to be arranged densely, and even the swinging of weapons left and right is restricted.The group that rushed to the front was immediately shot intensively by the bows and arrows of the Jin army.

Although these barbarians are all wearing heavy armor, no matter how good the armor is, it cannot protect the whole body, and the face, hands and feet exposed outside the armor will inevitably be hit by arrows.The puffing sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh seemed to be a rapid sound, and in an instant, more than ten barbarians fell to the ground with serious injuries.Several Hu people staggered and fell from the flying bridge, and immediately fell into mud under the city.

But the Hu soldiers in the back did not hesitate at all. They rushed forward one after another, stepped on the fallen bodies in the front row and continued to charge, and even held the dead body as a shield to attack the city wall.

The Jin army immediately let the archers retreat, and replaced them with infantry armed with long spears who overwhelmed the front line.Relying on the city wall, they stabbed with long spears that were specially extended to about three feet.Dozens of long spears stabbed back and forth, as if a rolling hedgehog stopped in front of the flying bridge.Although the Hu soldiers were willing to risk their lives, they had no choice for a while.

At this moment, there was only a roar like a thunderbolt on the flying bridge, and a member of the general jumped up from the crowd, flew over the city wall, and fell straight into the Jin army formation.

This person has a leopard head and eyes, a strong body, wearing a double-layer heavy armor, and holding a strange-shaped machete.This machete has a thick back and a narrow blade, and weighs at least twenty or thirty catties. The handle has a thick iron chain about ten feet long, which can not only be used for close combat, but also can reach far;He wields a broadsword and fights fiercely, and every time he strikes a sword, he will smash and shout at the same time.Wherever he went, the Jin army's bodies were separated, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. No one was his single enemy.

The Jin army did not expect the enemy general to be so fierce, and it was in chaos for a while.In addition, the soldiers near the crenel had their backs to the enemy general, and it was inconvenient to turn their spears, so they were killed and defeated.The enemy general rushed back and forth with excitement, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and howled.The Hu soldiers on the flying tower responded accordingly, rushing and beating like crazy.The Xiongnu army under the city shouted wildly. For a while, there was only a tsunami-like cry in my ears, and even the voices of the people around me were drowned out!

In a very short period of time, more than [-] soldiers of the Jin army fell in this narrow city.The rest of the Paoze brothers were red-eyed and desperately entangled with the barbarians, but the barbarians gathered this time are elites mobilized from tens of thousands of people, and all of them are warriors who can defeat hundreds of people. Led by the enemy general, they approached step by step, the number of casualties of the Jin army rose sharply, and the defense line was crumbling.

However, for the general Lu Chang who defended the city, he was already numb, and this situation was not enough to shake his calm attitude.

Lu Chang was not far away with more than a hundred elite subordinates, but he never issued an order for reinforcements.

He observed the changes in the battle situation calmly, constantly assessing the limits of the opposing sides.Compared with the almost endless army of the Huns under the city, the strength of Jiexiu's defenders is too weak.He must ensure that every time he uses his troops, he will block the enemy's offensive, and that every soldier of the Jin army who died in battle will be sacrificed with value.

His method of defending the city is not simply to pile up troops at the enemy's attack point, but to master a strong reserve force and choose the right time to launch a strong counterattack.

Although the losses of the former enemy were reported like snowflakes, his expression did not change at all, he just fiddled with some small pieces of wood scattered in front of him, and occasionally took one off... This represents another complete team of 50 people Lost combat effectiveness.There were 58 such small pieces of wood four days ago, but now there are only about [-] pieces left.

Ding Miao stood beside Lu Chang, not paying attention to Lu Chang's movements at all.He held a strange-shaped short halberd that shone with silver light in each hand, and he danced it from time to time, showing an expression of eagerness to try.

"The Hun Wuya General Liu Qin will go into battle in person! Brothers can't stand it anymore, let me go!" Amidst the deafening killing sounds, Ding Miao shouted at Lu Chang.

That incomparably ferocious Hun warrior was none other than Liu Qin, the Hun Wuya General.This gentleman is a famous general of the Xiongnu, and he is an extraordinary general. He is a noble from various tribes of the Xiongnu, and he is of the same family as Liu Yuan, the king of Han.He is extremely brave, and his whole army is always sharp.Last year, in the decisive battle with the Bingzhou Army of Ma Teng of the Dongying Company, he led a single army to attack the Jin army. Within ten days, he broke through four camps in a row, won ten battles and ten victories, and beheaded more than ten thousand people. trembling.Because of this illustrious martial arts, he was awarded the title of "General Wu Ya".It can be said that his reputation is entirely based on the mountains of corpses and blood of the soldiers of the Jin army.

"Such a person is worthy to be my opponent, Ding Wenhao!" Ding Miao shouted loudly: "Brother Shize, your soldiers will die if you go up; let them retreat, don't try to take my credit!"

These words are undoubtedly well-intentioned, but when Ding Miao said them, they didn't feel like that at all.Ding Miao, one of the most powerful generals under the command of Lord Shi Yue, relied on his bravery, and spoke very aggressively, which often made his colleagues unable to step down; but this kind of character was very popular among the soldiers, it was really strange.

Fortunately, Lu Chang already knew about Ding Miao's habit, so he didn't care about it.He was much older than Ding Miao, and the two of them had a good personal relationship, so he cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, kid! Wait a moment longer!"

Ding Miao gave Lu Chang a hard look, barely suppressed the fighting spirit that was about to break through Tianling, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Okay! Wait for another moment!"

In this fighting arena, half a moment of time flies by in the blink of an eye.Liu Qin was still roaring like a tiger and charging back and forth. As he fought to the death with his warriors, the space they occupied on the top of the city slowly but unstoppably expanded.At the same time, they are under increasing pressure.

The Jin army desperately attacked them from three sides, while the archers on both sides of the city wall almost frantically rained arrows on the flying towers, and some even stretched their bodies out of the crenels and shot them repeatedly, trying their best to prevent the Xiongnu reinforcements from entering the city.

After all, the Hu people only had this flying building, and under the dense crowd, the top of the flying building had already been covered with a layer of corpses of Hu warriors.At a certain point in time, the number of soldiers who can go to the city to support suddenly decreases sharply.

Lu Chang shouted loudly: "Ding Wenhao, it's up to you!"

Before the words fell, Ding Miao had already rushed out.The double halberds split the air and made a sharp howling sound; the castration was as violent as stone bullets thrown by a stone machine.
