Chapter 401: Pit Killing Ace
Ye Heng was surrounded by Han Jiajun again, and the swords, spears, guns and sticks around him fell on him like a storm, which made Ye Heng unable to pursue and kill Han Bin for a while, making him helpless.
Han Bin retreated to the camp of the Han family army and no longer attacked the city in person, Ye Heng sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that he had lost the best opportunity to get rid of him, the big sword and horse lance offensive was unleashed, and the blood of the Han family army around him splashed and fell.
"Han Jiajun, besiege and kill this thief, don't let him go back!" Han Bin retreated to the rear and immediately gave orders to his subordinates. Ye Heng's strength made him feel uneasy, if this person was not removed, it would pose a huge threat to them, so Han Bin wanted to take Ye Heng at all costs.
Facing the surging Han family army, Ye Heng felt a lot of pride in his heart, wielding the glaive sword and the slender horse lance to meet the Han family army that kept appearing.
The Han family army fell one by one, and the screams were endless, but their fearless attack also caused great pressure on Ye Heng, forcing him to keep retreating.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Gao Lang saw that Ye Heng was besieged by the Han family's army, and immediately ordered the archers to shoot him. The arrows continued to shoot at the Han family army that surrounded Ye Heng with the sound of breaking through the air, causing Ye Heng's pressure to drop sharply.
Ye Heng let out a long roar, killed the few remaining people beside him with a round of attack, and took a few steps back and jumped onto the city wall. In the place where he fought just now, more than fifty corpses of the Han family army were left, which shows how fierce Ye Heng's lethality is!
Ye Heng retreated to the city wall, and for a while, the Han family's offensive also weakened, and they no longer charged as desperately as before.
"Attack! Attack! All members of the Han army attack, take the city wall for me!" Han Bin immediately realized that the situation was wrong, and gave the order for the whole army to attack desperately. Since becoming the leader of the Han family's army, Han Bin has never suffered such a setback as today, and he is already a little hot-headed and angry.
For a while, the figure was longing, and the Han army launched the most fierce attack on the west city wall!
"Han Bin is completely angry, I hope this round of attacks can open the gap in Pingcheng!" Han Kaiyuan looked at the battlefield and muttered. At this time, he couldn't care about the loss of the distressed Han Jiajun, he had already found that even if he turned his hole cards out, he still couldn't shake Pingcheng, and he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Lord Han, do you want me to ask for help in the sect? At present, no one can restrain the young general in Pingcheng, if this son is not removed, it will pose a huge threat to our siege!" asked the retreating leader of the Taiyin Sect in a low voice.
Han Kaiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then it's troublesome to Mr. Feng! It's just that the war is urgent, and I hope that Mr. Feng can go and return quickly." ”
"Lord Han, please rest assured, this sect has its own way of quickly transmitting news, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, my sect master will definitely come!" said the leader of the Taiyin Sect.
After hearing this, Han Kaiyuan felt a lot more relieved, and advised: "Mr. Feng must explain the strength of the thief to the sect, otherwise it will only increase casualties." ”
"Lord Han, please rest assured, Feng also hates him to the core, and he will definitely invite my sect master to take his life!" said the leader of the Taiyin Sect hatefully, and then quickly left the rebel camp and asked for help from the Taiyin Sect.
"Order all archers and catapults to support the west of the city, and be sure to tear a gap!" As soon as the leader of the Taiyin Sect left, Han Kaiyuan immediately ordered, obviously to concentrate his firepower to break a little. He wants to bring noodles with points and take down Pingcheng.
Asking for the support of the Taiyin Sect is a suggestion that Han Kaiyuan has to accept, firstly, there is only one person left from the Taiyin Sect to protect him, and it makes little sense to have him without him; secondly, Han Kaiyuan really needs a master who can deal with Ye Heng, otherwise Ye Heng will go to the city wall, and there will really be a momentum that will not be opened, and I am afraid that the loss of a large number of elites will not be able to break through Pingcheng. Therefore, although Han Kaiyuan was a little reluctant, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
Han Kaiyuan was a little reluctant, because after he took over as the commander of the rebels, he was originally high-spirited and wanted to show his strength. From the bottom of his heart, Han Kaiyuan still hopes to win Pingcheng by his own strength, but at present, it seems that there are many difficulties. However, he still hopes that he can successfully take Pingcheng before the arrival of reinforcements from the Taiyin Sect, although he begged for someone, but it was better to look better without the other party's help.
After Han Kaiyuan's order was issued, the west gate of Pingcheng was soon attacked with the fiercest attack since the beginning of the war. All the archers and catapults in the rebel army came here to suppress and help the Han army attack, even the most elite wolf tooth regiment in Pingcheng had no choice but to temporarily avoid the edge, so as not to be shot into hedgehogs by the continuous arrows.
"City Lord, the rebels are all attacking, isn't it time to give them a big gift?" Gao Lang came to Ye Heng's side and asked with great anticipation.
"Let's act, the Han family almost rushed up. Ye Heng glanced at the city and said.
"Okay!" Gao Lang agreed, and made a gesture to the city, then turned around and ignored the rain of arrows, and bent down to the city wall, and from time to time flashed his head to see the movement outside the city. 16k Chinese
"Boom!"
A huge roar suddenly came from outside the city, Han Kaiyuan kept staring at the battlefield, after the sound, his face turned pale in an instant, and his legs immediately became soft, if it wasn't for someone next to him, he would inevitably collapse to the ground.
The archers and catapults were firing at the same time, and all the soldiers looked under the dusty walls, looking alive and shocked.
"Well done!" Gao Lang patted his thigh and stood up, laughed heartily, and shouted excitedly, "Let you attack the city again, Lao Tzu will bury you all alive!"
The defenders on the city wall poked their heads out curiously to watch, only to see a huge pit collapsed outside the city wall, and the Han family army and many corpses and wood that were besieging the city all fell into it, and most of the Han family army were buried in it, and the casualties were difficult to count.
Before the dust cleared, billowing smoke rose from the deep pit, spreading with the pungent stench of burning corpses, some of the injured Han Jiajun pushed away the heavy objects pressed on their bodies and crawled out screaming, and some were buried deeply, and their screams of pain could still be heard.
Han Bin was in the back of the position, and he didn't fall very deep, plus his cultivation was very deep, and he suddenly realized it when it collapsed, and he broke away from the pit and flew into the air. It's just that when he looked into the pit, he was struck by lightning and almost fell from mid-air.
The heaven-damned Pingcheng army did not know when it resisted such a big pit outside the city and trapped most of the Han army! Although it would not be completely annihilated, there would definitely be many casualties. This is the hard work of the Han family for decades, and it is also the basis for them to dominate the west and carve up the Shuntian Empire.
The movement here was too big, and the generals from the other three sides soon ran over and asked Han Kaiyuan what was going on here, and when they saw the deep pit outside the city, they all opened their mouths in shock, this is too ruthless!
Judging from the situation at the scene, there must have been a lot of life-threatening things set up in the pit, and the smoke quickly turned into a fire, and those Han Jiajun who were buried in it would have been burned alive even if they didn't have a natural death! Those corpses and wood were originally stepping stones for attacking Pingcheng, but they became materials for burying themselves, and they really dug a pit to bury themselves.
"How can this be? How could there be such a big pit outside the city of Pingcheng!" Han Kaiyuan finally relieved himself, he really couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
In fact, this pit was dug as early as when General Peng Huai was in office, and it was originally just to dig a tunnel to the outside of the city in case of emergency. Later, the granary was repaired in the city, and the tunnel was expanded, and the grain was temporarily put for a period of time. The reason why it has formed such a large scale is that after Ye Heng stole the grain and grass of the rebels, it was not safe for Gao Langjue to put so much grain outside, so he led people to dig the previous tunnel more spacious to store grain. At the same time, a large amount of soil is needed to build a city defense, and it is just the second use of the excavated soil, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
I really thought of using this big pit to pit the rebels in the early hours of this morning, after the rebels filled the moat and trap outside Pingcheng, Ye Hengjue's Pingcheng was in no danger, and the trap could have an unexpected effect when the rebels were unprepared.
When Ye Heng held a meeting in the morning, he reserved 2,000 Pingcheng troops, stating that there was an important arrangement, that is, to arrange them to secretly arrange this big pit. Two thousand soldiers dug for a whole day, and when the whole Han army attacked, it finally came in handy!
In the deep pit, not only sharp wooden sticks were erected, but also a large number of flammable materials were piled up, and a large amount of fire oil was prepared. After the soldiers guarding below got Gao Lang's order, they knocked down the giant wood that supported the top of the cave, and the top that lost its support was difficult to bear the weight of so many soldiers, corpses, wood, etc., plus everyone worked together to destroy the roof of the cave, the roof of the cave collapsed instantly, and the Han Jiajun on the ground fell down with the corpse wood.
The incident happened suddenly, and most of the Han Jiajun fell into it, and many people fell directly on the wooden sticks erected below and died on the spot. Even if they didn't die, most of them were injured, and very few were able to climb out of the pit without any injuries.
The Pingcheng army guarding the cave immediately ignited the fire oil, and not long after, the raging fire ignited in the pit, and the Han family army in the deep pit could not escape, and many of them were burned alive. The Pingcheng army completed the task, blocked the tunnel, and retreated to the city.
On the city wall, Gao Lang screamed excitedly, commanding the archers to shoot the Han family army that kept crawling out of the pit, which was simply the rhythm of beating the water dogs, and Tongjin kept urging the soldiers to pour the fire oil into the city, for fear that the fire below would not burn.
"Shoot! Shoot the Pingcheng army on the city wall!" Han Kaiyuan saw that the Pingcheng army on the city wall was falling into the well, and the roots of his teeth ached, so he immediately ordered the archers to fight back.
The two sides immediately started a contest between the archers, but the Pingcheng army was condescending and had a natural advantage, although the number was not as large as the rebels, but the damage to the rebels was very great! The archers in the rebel army were constantly killed by arrows, and they had to retreat backwards, away from the range of the Heicheng archers.
Han Kaiyuan's face turned green at this time, and he roared at the generals who came from other directions: "Look at anything, give me back to my own army, organize the team to continue to attack, and if I don't take Pingcheng tonight, I will never retreat! If anyone dares to slack off, they will be punished by military law!"
The generals immediately withdrew and hurried towards their own ranks. They knew in their hearts that Han Kaiyuan was already angry at this time, and if anyone disobeyed him at this time, he would really be cut down by him. As soon as they returned, they organized their subordinates to continue the attack, and no one dared to hide them, so they all sent out their own capable troops.
Han Jiajun suffered serious losses, and if he didn't send out the ace army in his hand, Han Kaiyuan would really not be able to pass this hurdle! Because this is a very delicate psychology, and this is like a gamble; if everyone present is losing, the person who loses the most will feel better; if he is the only one who is losing, his heart will be extremely uncomfortable, and he will even be angry with other people who have not lost. Therefore, these battle-hardened generals who understand the sophistication of human feelings no longer hide their personal interests and put all the power in their hands into the battlefield.
