Great Han Empire

Chapter 65 Yanzhao Fengyun
Xiaoshuai's saber slashed down and chopped on the chest of an old man.Immediately, his saber was firmly held in the hands of the black and thin old man with a pair of dry wood-like hands.He roared and drew the knife with all his strength.The old man's two hands were grasping the blade, which was already dripping with blood, and when he pulled it hard, all ten fingers were broken.Without saying a word, the old man suddenly rushed forward, allowing the enemy's saber to penetrate his entire body.Don't talk about drawing the knife now, the knife almost sank into the old man's chest even the handle.A middle-aged man shouted, jumped up, and grabbed his neck.At the same time, he clenched a fist with his left hand and hit the face of a young man who rushed forward.The young man howled miserably, his body flew up, and his face was punched to pieces.His right leg flew up and kicked a middle-aged man hard in the crotch.The man didn't even utter a scream, he flew out and died.Then his left hand and right leg were rushed up and grabbed tightly.No matter how this young handsome Xianbei beat and kicked, no matter how they spurted blood, the two of them just beat to death and refused to let go.

His knife was stuck in the old man's chest, and his neck, left hand, and right leg were all embraced by the enemy. Although he had all his strength and martial arts, he couldn't use it at all.He dropped the knife, swung his right fist and slammed the enemy who was stuck in his neck from behind.Already he was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe.Blood sprayed out with the back and forth heavy blows of the right fist.The old man in front of him fell down.

Xiaoshuai's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw four spears stabbing at the same time from different angles, and there was no way to hide.

The four spears rushed towards his chest soundlessly like poisonous snakes.With Xiaoshuai's desperate and shrill cry, the spear pierced into his body and penetrated his body.Xiaoshuai opened his terrifying eyes wide, and saw that he was being lifted high by four spears, and blood dripped down the spear shafts like water.

He saw Yuwendong nearby looking up at him with horror on his face. He saw that he was surrounded by four or five sabers. Flesh and blood flew in the flickering light of the sabers. He saw him being chopped down to the ground. When more than a dozen Xianbei soldiers overcame the obstacle, they rescued Yuwendong in time, and dragged the bloody Yuwendong out of the battlefield. They saw the Xianbei soldiers walking at the end wielding their sabers in one hand and Yuwendong's bloody one in the other. Legs in combat boots.

There are more and more Xianbei soldiers, and the archers are caught among them, shooting cold arrows that will kill them from time to time.Under the cover of their comrades in arms, more than a dozen Xianbei soldiers stubbornly and resolutely built a human ladder, preparing to pull out the latch on the city gate.The soldiers of the Han army kept shooting long arrows at them.After paying more than a dozen lives, the Xianbei people finally succeeded in building a human ladder more than three feet high, and quickly pulled out thick and heavy latches from the back of the city gate.The gates are about to be opened.

The defensive formation on the west city wall completely collapsed after more than a dozen defensive points were breached.A military marshal who succeeded Sui and continued to command the operation immediately ordered the remaining personnel to form three blocking formations, which were firmly guarded at the stair passage.Do not fight to the last man, and never allow an enemy to break through the last line of defense.

The sound of the drum sounded, heavy and desolate.It is announcing to all Han soldiers that the west city wall of the south gate is about to fall.If there are reinforcements, come and help.

When Liu Yu heard the sound of war drums for the police, he was so anxious that he took a few soldiers back to the city gate.He looked at the retreating Han army on the west wall, frowning deeply, helpless.

He stood silently like a clay figure, as if he hadn't heard the sound of the drum, motionless looking at the bloody battlefield above and below the city.

He occasionally looked up at the sky.The dark night sky is the darkest period before dawn.

The handsome Murong Feng personally led the reserve soldiers to climb up the city wall, preparing for the final blow, completely defeating the tenacious defense of the Han army on the west wall.The Xianbei people took advantage of their numbers, concentrated their superior forces, continuously and non-stop aimed at one point of the Han army's defense line, and carried out key attacks, finally successfully tearing a hole in Yuyang City's defense line.Now this gap has turned into a huge gap, and what needs to be done now is to make another cut on this gap to completely defeat the overall defense of the Han army.Occupying Yuyang City has gradually become a reality.

Murong Feng let out a loud roar, and led a hundred soldiers in full swing, like tigers uncaged, and charged fiercely at the Han army.The soldiers of the Han army lined up on the three-foot-wide city wall, forming a dense defensive formation, never retreating a step.The Xianbei people seemed to have hit an iron plate, and it was difficult to shake it at all.Every step they push, they have to step on the corpses of soldiers on both sides.The soldiers of the Han army only fell and did not retreat.

The city gate was slowly opened.

The Xianbei soldiers who were fifty steps away from the city gate let out an earth-shattering cheer. They roared, shouted, and rushed towards the city gate like crazy.

Liu Yu closed his eyes in pain.He knew that Yuyang City was about to fall, and the overall defense of Yuyang City had collapsed due to the loss of the west city wall and the loss of the city gate.

The fall of Yuyang City is imminent.

Li Hong led 3000 two hundred riders to the outside of Yuyang City on the eve of dawn.

The flames outside Yuyang City were soaring into the sky, and huge flames flew into the sky from time to time. The firelight reflected on the towering and majestic city, illuminating the bloody battlefield in every detail.Shadows of people flew over the city wall, and the army of Xianbei people lined up neatly under the city wall, with banners waving.The sound of fierce fighting, the sound of loud horns, the rapid and violent sound of war drums, and the loud and noisy shouts all gathered together to form a huge roar, as if the night opened its bloody mouth and roared.

The cavalrymen vaguely saw the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom still dancing wildly in the night wind, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xian Yufu let out a long breath of relief.Finally, he lived up to Master Liu's great trust. When Yuyang City was most critical, he moved all the rescuers who could be moved here, and even brought them to the foot of Yuyang City without anyone noticing.

In the darkness of night, he looked at the densely packed soldiers behind him.Everyone was in a heavy mood, and their uneasy faces were full of tension and worry.He slowly turned his gaze to Li Hong.

Li Hong rode on the black panther and was carefully observing the distant battlefield.The long hair draped over her shoulders blows up with the night wind from time to time.

He doesn't like to wear a helmet. He doesn't like it by nature. He has always insisted on letting his hair down and not wearing a crown. This has caused many subordinates to comment, thinking that it will damage his image, and if he meets his boss, he will be mistaken for being uneducated. , not polite.Li Hong ignored it and didn't listen at all.Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, who met him not long ago but hit it off immediately, also advised him to change his habits a little.Now he is in the Han Kingdom, not on the desolate prairie.He is still an officer who receives a monthly salary of one thousand shi, and he is no longer a slave of the Xianbei people.He should not keep the slovenliness and habits of his slavery, which will affect his promotion and future.Li Hong smiled desolately: "What future can I have? I live a life of licking blood every day, and I may die at any time. Future?" Li Hong curled his lips in disdain, and said, "For me, nothing matters. No, including my own life. I am alive today, and maybe I will die tomorrow. Don’t think too much, just live every day happily, this is the reality.”

Li Hong waved to the several military officers following behind him, Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, and everyone urged their horses to get together.

"The Xianbei people went crazy, and they didn't let the troops rest to attack Yuyang City day and night. This is a great advantage for us. Although we have traveled a long distance and the soldiers have worked very hard, we have not yet reached the point of exhaustion. On the other hand Xianbei people, I'm afraid I'm too tired to stand up now." Seeing Li Hong's exaggerated appearance, everyone laughed.

"Everyone watched for a long time, talk about it, how to fight?" Li Hong seemed to have a plan in his mind, and looked at everyone with a smile and said.

Huzi said carelessly: "We rushed out from the dark place suddenly, and we could scare them to death. This victory is settled."

Sisi's stable Zhao Wen also shouted proudly: "Everyone line up in a line of charge, kill anyone you meet, slash anyone you meet, and fight wherever you need."

Xian Yufu and Yan Rou exchanged admiring glances.This person still has time to discuss combat methods with everyone at this time. He is either an idiot who knows nothing, or a brave man with extraordinary courage.Li Hong is undoubtedly the latter kind of person.With a casual move, he lured away all the Xianbei scouts who were monitoring near the Baoqiu River.Seeing everyone crossing the river slowly and happily, you can't help but admire their brains just because they are easy to use, it is definitely a talent.

Yushi, Yan Wuwei, and Wu Zhao sat on the horse, with a submissive look, not only unwilling to use their brains but even too lazy to speak.

Li Hong looked at Xian Yufu and Yan Rou.

"The bow and arrow troops of the Xianbei people are all concentrated on the first line below the city. The troops preparing to take over the attack are on standby on the second line. The soldiers at the end of the line are all soldiers who have just been withdrawn from the city wall. The overall defensive formation is kept very neat. Once In the event of an emergency, it is absolutely possible to respond quickly in a short period of time. I think we should attack from its side, and we will receive very good results." Xian Yufu put forward his views and suggestions calmly.

Several of Li Hong's subordinates immediately looked at him intently, secretly admiring him.The meritorious service of the governor's office is really talented and learned.

"Attacking its flanks is bound to fail to encircle and annihilate it. In my opinion, Murong Ji's troops must have been severely depleted in the continuous days of siege battles. At most half of the 8000 troops remain. Counting the number of people, it is almost the same as ours. Here In this case, we will attack them by outflanking and annihilating them, as long as the tactics are used properly, we can completely annihilate them under Yuyang City." Yan Rou immediately retorted.This man was brave and fearless, bold and careful, and even put forward the bold idea of ​​annihilating the enemy army, which made Zhao Wen and others dumbfounded.Bearded Wei Jun and him had known each other in the early years, and he immediately gave him a thumbs up when he heard the words, which means that you are really good and powerful, and I am convinced.

"My lord, how can you be sure that the Xianbei people have lost at least 4000 people?" Yan Wuwei looked in the direction of Yuyang City, looked left and right, but couldn't see how the Xianbei army had only 4000 people.
