By the time Ye Changan arrived, it was getting dark, and a raging fire had already broken out in many places on the city wall, and corpses were piled up under the city wall.
If it weren't for the high city walls, I'm afraid it would have been lost a long time ago.
On the castle tower, a middle-aged man is directing the battle.
Ye Changan trotted over and said in a deep voice: "Why are you in command, Lin Pingju?"
This middle-aged man is the commander of Yunhu's personal guard, and his eyes are wide open at this time:
"That piece of waste escaped with hundreds of people!"
Ye Changan's face turned cold, and he took out the border guard order that Yunhu gave him, "Now I will take over Wangbian City, you cooperate with me!"
"Yes!"
Ye Changan took a quick look, and saw that there were teams of three to ten people everywhere, constantly attacking with bows and arrows, and there were many places climbing the city wall.
Ye Changan's brain spun quickly, "How many supplies are there?"
"There are not many crossbow arrows, and a hundred barrels of fire oil, and other things, I don't know. โ
Ye Changan nodded, "There should be a person in charge in the city, and immediately send an order to let them evacuate Wangbian City with the residents." โ
"Carry all the fire oil up the walls and sprinkle them under the walls to form a line of flames. โ
"How much powder is sprinkled for me, let's kill some of the barbarians first!"
"Yes!"
Ye Chang'an's arrangement was right, because soon there were barbarian soldiers who climbed over the city wall and entered Wangbian City.
But when they tried to take hostages, they found that the residents of the city had already evacuated.
Ye Changan estimated that there were about seven or eight thousand people here in Wangbian City now, all of them were squads of three to ten people, and even if only one-tenth of these people entered the city, it would cause huge damage.
"Unless, we can gather all these brute squads!"
"Lord Ye, there are not many streets in Wangbian City," the general who began to command said in a deep voice, "As long as we block those streets, the barbarian squad will not be able to disperse." โ
"It's just that, in this way, there will be a stalemate, and there will be a steady stream of barbarian soldiers entering Wangbian City, Wangbian City, and it will be destroyed at that time!"
"If you don't break it, you can't stand it!"
Ye Changan looked at the layout map of the border city, which showed that there were only three large streets arranged vertically and three streets arranged horizontally in the entire city.
Ye Changan's eyes lit up, "Order, let all the soldiers push to the last side street, and hold on to not let any of the barbarians retreat!"
"This side street is our defense line, the barbarian team can't be dispersed, they can only approach from the three vertical streets, when the time comes, they can't disperse, and the barbarian army behind can't play a role, we just fight more and less!"
The general's face changed, "My lord, if the barbarian army breaks through, we will have no defense. โ
Ye Changan yelled: "Order!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the soldiers who had resisted the barbarian squad withdrew and rushed towards the third side street.
This side street is about three kilometers long and is heavily guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers.
The barbarian soldiers could only approach from three streets less than five meters wide, and when the time came, the strength of the troops could not be dispersed, and the advantage of the squad was lost.
Even if they switch to large-scale combat, the crowded streets will make it impossible for them to get out of the way.
Outside the city wall, Tuoba Shi took people to watch from a distance, and when he saw that no one resisted, he immediately frowned, "Could it be that he ran away?"
"Urgent!" A brute soldier scurried over, "Commander, I got the news that Yunhu is leading people to defend Luoxia Slope, and Lin Pingju, the commander in charge of the defense here, is unexpectedly... Hahaยทยท He even escaped with someone!"
"Haha!" Tuoba Shi laughed loudly, "Okay, good run, the humiliation of the last time must be washed with the blood of their Wuwei soldiers." โ
"Take my orders and go into the city!"
Soon, thousands of barbarian soldiers entered Wangbian City, and many people were left on the city wall, as if they regarded Wangbian City as a trophy.
But when Tuoba Stone walked down the street with the soldiers, he found that not a single soldier could be seen.
Because the streets were crowded, Tuoba Shi had to give the order for the soldiers to march in three directions, each from three longitudinal streets.
Even, Tuoba Stone did not send troops to support other defense areas.
He trembled with excitement, how many years have he been the first commander to enter Wangbian City with an army!
These soldiers under his command will be scattered to various places in Wuwei Country in the form of squads, and when the time comes, it will make the lives of the people of Wuwei difficult.
As long as this goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter if the barbarian army attacking other defense areas is defeated!
"Report!" a dozen barbarians gasped and their faces were full of horror, "There is a horizontal street ahead, blocking the exit of the three vertical streets, and we are trapped in the city!"
Tuoba Shi waved his hand, "Are there any other exits?"
"No, there are high mountains and mountains on the left and right of this city, which is difficult to climb, and it is heavily guarded, so we can only pass through these three streets. โ
Tuoba Shi's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were blood-red, "Brothers, how many years, only we have done this!"
"This street is congested, the brothers who rushed in front will definitely die, do you dare, rush out of a bloody road!"
"Dare!"
"Roar!!"
In an instant, the barbarian army of the three streets rushed forward, and before they could get close to the defenders of the side street, hundreds of people were taken away by a rain of arrows.
By the time the first barbarians approached, there were already many barbarian corpses lying on the streets.
Ye Changan raised his palm and shouted, "Shield, defend against the opponent's arrows!"
"Archers, shoot them for me!"
For a while, the screams resounded throughout Wangbian City.
The barbarian soldiers in the back, looking at the people in front of them who kept falling and screaming, all had red eyes.
Ye Changan was also a little unbearable, but when he thought that these people would break through the defense line, they would cause irreparable damage to the ordinary people of Wuwei Kingdom.
Ye Changan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Sprinkle the medicinal powder!"
In an instant, the soldiers who were lying in ambush on the houses on both sides of the street stood up sharply, shaking the cut sacks as they ran.
All the remaining powders such as 'soft cotton powder' and "spicy mustard powder" in Wangbian City were sprinkled on the three vertical streets.
Of course, the soldiers who ran on the houses, quite a few, were shot on the spot with crossbow arrows.
Ye Changan's eyes were red, and his body trembled slightly.
Although Ye Changan knew that his command had kept the casualties to a minimum.
But these people, after all, died because of their own orders.
"Retreat!"
Tuoba Shi yelled, "Everyone, stand back, stand back, don't step on your own people!"
After throwing behind hundreds of corpses, the remaining thousands of barbarian soldiers hurriedly retreated, a full kilometer away from the Hengjie defense line arranged by Ye Changan.
But the streets were already paved with fallen barbarian soldiers.
Half of them were killed by crossbow arrows, and the other half were stunned by powder.
Ye Changan's eyes lit up, "Capture the hostages!"
In an instant, hundreds of people entered the three street entrances, kept a distance from the satisfied soldiers, tied up the brute soldiers who were slightly injured and unconscious, and stuffed them into dozens of houses at the street entrance.
Tuoba Shi watched his soldiers being captured, and his eyes were torn.
"Bastard, bastard!!"
"Didn't you say they didn't have a commander!"
A soldier trembled, "Commander, I saw it just now, the commander is... Yes..."
Tuoba Shi grabbed this person by the neck, "Damn, who is it, say it quickly!"
"It's Ye Chang'an! The devil in the mountain col defense area!"
Tuoba Shi's pupils shrank sharply, "No wonder it's so insidious." โ
Here, Ye Changan sneezed, frowned, and said, "Send someone to shout and let them retreat outside the city wall, otherwise..."
Ye Changan sighed, "Forget it, I'll go in person." โ
Chu Jiang stopped Ye Changan and said nervously: "My lord, don't be impulsive, Tuoba Stone kills, the methods are cruel, and there is a six-star combat power." โ
Ye Changan frowned, "Then forget it, cough cough..." I want to state that I am not afraid of death, nor am I cowardly, now we have the advantage, and it is Tuoba Shi who takes the initiative to talk. โ
"My lord, I understand," Chu Jiang nodded, "Let's just wait." โ
Sure enough, after a while, he felt a powerful murderous aura quickly approaching.
Tuoba Shi came alone.
Looking at the soldiers on the street who kept screaming, Tuoba Shi's heart was about to break.
"Ye Changan, get out!"
Looking at the Tuoba Stone two hundred and fifty meters away, Ye Changan shouted: "Tuoba Commander, you are a six-star master, and I have only a three-star combat power, shouldn't you take the initiative to approach?"
"Don't worry, I will never give the order to release arrows!"
Takubano held a heavy scimitar in his hand, slowly and cautiously, constantly surveying the surrounding houses for fear of an ambush.
One hundred and fifty meters, Tuoba Stone stopped again, saying that he would not come any closer.
"Ye Changan, you brought us in on purpose!"
Ye Changan shook his head, his face calm, "I don't want to kill or injure so many people, you have to attack, I have already told Tuoba Kun that it is you who are stubborn and stubborn to let you give up attacking." โ
"It's impossible to give up!" Tuoba Kun's eyes were cold, and his scimitar pointed at Ye Changan, "Release my soldiers and let my soldiers take the wounded away." โ
Ye Changan nodded, "What about the conditions?"
"Let's quit Lookout!"
Ye Changan took a sip of the water handed over by Chu Jiang, shook his head and said, "If you quit, you can call in again, and there will be more casualties at that time." โ
"Then you say," Tuoba Shi clenched his scimitar, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he was a dignified six-star master, the commander of the barbarian army, and he was actually threatened by a two-star combat power mole ant.
"Withdraw, order the other defense areas to retreat as well," Ye Changan sighed and said sincerely: "Commander Tuoba, I really don't want to fight, and the soldiers under your command are also human lives, isn't it good that the two countries are at peace?"
"I'm a soldier, do what I want," Tuoba Shi's face flushed with anger, "I promise..."
"Commander, don't promise him!"
"Yes, Commander, keep attacking!"
A soldier's blood-covered hand grabbed Tuoba Shi and said weakly: "Commander, leave us alone, help us take revenge, let the brothers, rush over!"
After saying that, the soldier actually waved the scimitar in his hand and committed suicide.
Immediately afterwards, other Manchu barbarian soldiers followed suit.
"Don't!" Tuoba Stone yelled in agony, "Don't do anything stupid!"
Ye Changan gritted his teeth, didn't turn his head, and shouted: "Exit the city now and stop attacking, otherwise, more people will die!"
Behind Ye Changan, all the soldiers were moved.
This is war.
"Ye Changan, I'll kill you!" Tuoba Shi roared and rushed up, full of murderous aura.
"Brush Brush Brush ~~"
Hundreds of arrows were fired at the top stone at the same time.
On the ground, soldiers used their last strength to stand up and form a human wall.
"Commander, go!"
Tuoba Shi's face was full of tears, and he quickly retreated.
Ye Changan's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Tuoba Shi, think about what I said, stop attacking!"
Seeing Tuoba Stone disappear, Ye Changan sighed and ordered: "Collect the crossbow arrows, disarm the barbarian soldiers who are still saved, and take them to the back for treatment, but they must be strictly guarded." โ
"My lord, no!"
Ye Changan's eyes widened, "That's also human life, go and treat me, but strictly guard, you must not let a person escape." โ
ยทยทยท
Tuoba Shi stood on the tower of Wangbian City, looking at the black crowd on the other side of the city, silent and silent.
"Commander, what are we going to do?"
Tuoba Shi seemed to be dozens of years old, and sat paralyzed in the city, "Other defense areas, what about the casualties?"
"Just came the news, dead and wounded... Heavy. โ
"Except for us, they didn't break through the defense zone, but they also killed a lot of soldiers in Wuwei Country, it's worth it!"
Tuoba Shi suddenly cried bitterly and slapped his chest hard, "Is it worth it? Where is it worth it? These are the real elites of my barbarian country!"
"Order, let all the defense areas retreat, all converge here. โ
"Yes. โ
An hour later, the barbarian soldiers attacking the various defense areas suddenly stopped their attack and hurried towards Wangbian City.
