Great Han Empire

Chapter 62 Yanzhao Fengyun
"The reinforcements of the Han people have already rushed to the south of the Baoqiu River, and Master Xiongba has sent his troops to stop the Han army from crossing the river. Now that Yuyang City is approaching, we should end the battle in Yuyang City as soon as possible and free up our troops. Come and wipe out the reinforcements from the Han people. This way the large army can go south to attack Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou as soon as possible." Murong Ji said solemnly to Murong Jin, Wu Meng, Wei Ran, Yu Wendong and several tribal leaders standing around.

Yu Wendong is the hero of the Sui tribe, and he and Murongfeng's general Yu Wenshang are warriors of the same tribe.Yuwendong is tall and strong, with a beard like a steel needle.Hearing Murong Ji's words, he smiled and said, "Could it be that your lord means to fight all night?"

"Today we have severely damaged the Han army guarding the west city wall. If we don't give them any chance to breathe and launch a fierce offensive again, they probably won't be able to last a night. As long as we open a breakthrough, we can quickly expand our advantage, and then Occupy the entire southern city gate. In this way, Yuyang City will basically be under our control." Murong Feng looked around, "What do you think, my lords? Taking Yuyang City will not only make up for all the losses , and it can make everyone's pockets bulge up quickly."

"Continuous attacks, the loss of the troops has reached 2000 people, and the soldiers are very tired. If you can take Yuyang City in one night, it will indeed greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. But it is You who is holding on to the western city wall. Liu Yu, governor of the state, is kind to others, generous in his administration, and has won the hearts of the people. Under his inspiration, the people in the city may participate in the battle of defending the city. Under the risk of sacrificing their lives, their defense capabilities will definitely increase exponentially. This I hope you can consider it." Murong Invasion is a tall and thin elder with a gray beard.The relationship between him and Murong Ji has always been harmonious, and they both spoke with one voice on many important matters.Murong Jin reminded Murong Ji at the right time to pay attention to Liu Yu's personal charm and not lose the big because of the small.

"The combat capabilities of the common people are limited, not to mention that the Han people have always been cowardly, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, greedy for life and afraid of death, how much impact can a little Liu Yu have on the siege?" Wu Meng said disdainfully.

"Pay attention, Master Murong's words are very reasonable. Yuwendong, how about you lead the troops to storm the city gate?" Murongji asked Yuwendong.

"Attack the city gate? Do you want to disperse their forces?"

"Yes. Masters Wumeng and Weiran led their troops to feint to attack the east city wall, dragging the enemy's defensive force to the city wall, making them unable to support the west city wall. Master Yuwen attacked the city gate with all his strength, and then scattered them all. Troops. The rest of the troops are all thrown into the main battlefield, trying to win the first battle.”

"Tomorrow morning, we can stand on the west city wall and enjoy the sunrise." Murong Ji said confidently to everyone.

Tian Kai is in his 30s, in his prime.He was in full armor, standing on the city wall, looking at the enemy's attacking troops below the city without blinking his eyes.

"My lord, the enemy has begun to attack." Tian Kai's army commander Xian Yuwei said loudly.

Tian Kai laughed, and excitedly said to Xian Yuwei: "Our reinforcements may have reached Baoqiu River."

"My lord, how do you know?" Xian Yuwei glanced at Tian Kai strangely, wondering if there was something wrong with his lord's hope for the reinforcements, and now he started talking nonsense.

"Tell the soldiers that reinforcements will arrive in no time, and order everyone to spare no effort to defend Yuyang City."

"My lord..." Xian Yuwei hesitated, hoping to get Tian Kai's explanation.

"Speaking of which, you are still the leader of the Xianyu clan with the largest surname in Yuyang, so you are confused when you fight. Have you seen the battle flag of Jibang now? No, I haven't seen it since noon. Xiongba's army is now The number and intensity of attacks have increased significantly, what does that mean?" Tian Kai asked.

Xian Yuwei suddenly came to his senses, "My lord, is it really possible if you say that?"

"It's not a possibility, but it's the fact. If you look at the rear of the enemy troops, there are already more than a dozen piles of firewood piled up. It is estimated that they will attack the city overnight. The situation is not one-sided, and the barbarians don't care about the siege operations. There is only one possibility, that is, there are some external factors that force them to do so. Regardless of the extreme fatigue of the soldiers, they keep fighting hard and recklessly. It may be their day of extinction."

"Your Excellency has subtle observation and rich experience, and the lower officials are indeed far behind. I'll pass on the good news." Xian Yufu explained it carefully to him, and immediately realized the realization, and ran away happily.

"Beat the drums, all the troops enter the defensive position and prepare to meet the enemy." Tian Kai ordered loudly.

Murong Ji's troops only attacked the city gate twice during the several days of fighting.Because the attack surface of the city gate is very narrow, the soldiers of the attacking side are crowded together, and the blows are often very heavy.Compared with attacking the city with ladders, not only more soldiers died here, but also the attack effect was poor.But today the attack on the city gate must be launched again, and it is a fierce attack regardless of casualties.The more troops attracted by the city gate, the greater the possibility for the Murong tribe, who are mainly attacking the west city wall, to successfully capture the city wall.

Yuwendong looked at the huge car crashing into the city, and the soldiers lined up raised their knives and shouted: "Warriors of the Sui tribe, for the glory of the Xianbei people, ho ho..."

Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons high at the same time and shouted loudly: "Hoho...hoho..."

Murong Ji sat on his horse, turned his head and said to the horn soldiers, "Start the attack!"

The sound of the huge bull horn, one higher than the other, resounded through the battlefield.

Murong Jin and Murong Feng each stood under their own banners, raised their knives and shouted: "Huho..."

The soldiers tried their best one by one, as if they wanted to shout out the fear and fatigue in their hearts. They used all their strength to shout: "Hoho...hoho..."

The two adults raised their weapons high and rushed down the city first.The soldiers followed closely behind, and fought out with the strongest valor.

Together with the soldiers, Yu Wendong supported the giant hammer six feet long and six feet thick on the ramming cart. With the sound of horns that shook the sky, with a roar, he began to push the ramming cart towards the city gate.Hundreds of shield soldiers on both sides raised their five-foot long shields to cover the soldiers pushing forward.

There was a sudden roar of killing on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the attacking force rushed towards the south gate of Yuyang City like a tide.

On the city wall, Liu Yu held the battle flag of the Han Dynasty and stood solemnly among the soldiers.

Standing at the forefront of the team, Yu Sui yelled loudly, "Up arrow, everyone up arrow."

Seeing that the soldiers defending the city had been seriously reduced, many adult citizens consciously took up their swords and spears, and together with the soldiers, they squatted behind the battlements of the city wall, ready to participate in the battle.

Murong Ji made an arrow gesture to the horn player next to him.The sound of the horn suddenly changed, and the shrill sound of the horn suddenly broke through the roar of the soldiers on the battlefield.

"Let it go..." With an order, the bow and arrow troops of the Xianbei people first shot the long arrow in their hands, which opened the prelude to the bloody battle.

The long arrows all over the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, making a loud howling sound.

The shield soldiers on the city wall stepped forward and raised their long shields to cover the shooting of the archers.

Yu Sui pointed forward with the saber in his hand, turned his head and roared loudly: "Shoot... shoot, shoot..."

The piercing cry of the long arrows tearing the air almost covered the shouts of the Xianbei people rushing from the city.The long arrow fell like a gun, hitting all touchable surfaces, making countless sounds.The screams and exclamations resounded all over the battlefield along with the fallen figures one after another.

Under the cover of the shield soldiers, Yu Wendong and the soldiers pushing the cart pushed forward with all their might, braving the long arrows whizzing back and forth all over the sky.Driven by nearly a hundred soldiers, the crash vehicle was speeding at a high speed. As the inertial force increased, it made a huge roar, and its momentum was astonishing.

Under the cover of archers, Xianbei soldiers quickly reached the city wall.They immediately set up hundreds of ladders along the city wall.Hundreds of assault squads immediately began to attack.

The enemy's bow and arrow troops stopped firing continuously.

Countless large and small stones suddenly flew out from the city wall, and occasionally there were huge thunder woods falling from the sky.The siege soldiers were hit violently for a while, causing heavy casualties.

However, there are so many points for the enemy to attack the city, and the number of soldiers on the defensive side is so small that they are stretched and unable to take care of them.Not long after, Xianbei soldiers had successfully climbed over the city wall from many places.They were aggressive and rushed towards the soldiers of the Han army.The brutal hand-to-hand combat started again.

Liu Yu was tightly surrounded by several guards with strong martial arts skills.He held up the battle flag and kept shouting loudly, boosting the morale of the soldiers.The soldiers who fought tenaciously saw the governor standing on the city wall without fear and insisted on living and dying with them.

The battle became more and more fierce, and Yu Sui suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yu, covered in blood.

"My lord, go down quickly, it's too dangerous here, I can't protect your safety." Yu Sui yelled at Liu Yu.

"Leave me alone. Even if I die, I won't go down." Liu Yu said calmly and firmly.

Reluctantly, Yu Sui stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and killed the enemy who rushed forward.

Yuwendong's siege troops were like a sharp long arrow, suddenly piercing into the vital point of Yuyang City.

The shield soldiers held up their large shields, covering their own soldiers tightly.There were not many soldiers of the Han army on the city gate tower, and the long arrows shot were sparse, and there was no threat at all.

During the period when the Xianbei attacked Yuyang City, they only attacked the city gate twice, which greatly paralyzed the Han army with insufficient defensive strength.They were lucky enough to think that the enemy would no longer take the difficult and give up the easy, and wasted a lot of troops to attack the city gate.So they repeatedly draw strength from here to supplement other places.

The car crashing into the city was getting faster and faster, and the soldiers pushing the cart were already running.The shield soldiers protecting them could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and the defensive gap was getting wider and wider.

About fifty steps away from the city gate, Yuwen Cave finally erupted.
