Chapter 65: Soldiers Descend on the City

Just when everyone was still worried about the situation in front of them, from outside Kaiyang City, the explosion like thunder suddenly sounded, pulling everyone's thoughts back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Report, the Lanxi army is attacking the North City Gate in a big way." A moment later, a herald defending the city delivered a hundred thousand urgent battle reports to Xiao Yuanshan.

"How many people are there in the Lanxi army?" After hearing the battle report of the siege, Xiao Yuanshan asked solemnly.

"Looking at the number of military columns, I'm afraid there is a wing of troops, and this time Lanxi also brought large siege equipment." The herald replied cautiously.

"How many?" Hearing the number of enemies coming to Lanxi this time, Xiao Yuanshan, who had not changed his face among the thousands of troops, was a little flustered.

"About ten thousand." Looking at Xiao Yuanshan, who was a little out of shape, the herald timidly repeated it again.

You must know that although the North Vietnamese garrison has 50,000 troops stationed on the line from Kaiyang City to Xingluo City, excluding the troops stationed between Xingluo City and the two cities, the real troops that can be mobilized in Kaiyang City are only about 5,000, and these 5,000 troops still have to defend the three city gates separately to prevent the enemy from attacking the east and west.

Since North Vietnam is like this, then Lan Xi is actually not much better, after all, it is still within the territory of North Vietnam, and when it comes to mobilizing troops, Lan Xi is still in a weak position. But this time, Lanxi's army actually gathered a wing of troops silently, which is why Xiao Yuanshan lost his temper.

"Quick, follow me to the north gate immediately." Facing Wang Yuan, Ye Wen and the others, Xiao Yuanshan ordered urgently.

There must be demons when things are normal, and Lancy has worked hard to secretly gather so many people without hiding all his eyes and ears, not just to surprise him. Such a surprise on the battlefield is often the key to deciding the victory, so this time Xiao Yuanshan also has to personally command.

Instead of following Xiao Yuanshan all the time, Ye Wen and Lin Chufeng glanced at each other, and soon understood, they rushed back to their camp first, preparing to dispatch their own team to relieve the danger of the North City Gate.

Without any delay, when Ye Wen and Lin Chufeng rushed to the north city gate as fast as possible, the scene in front of them really shocked the two of them.

When they were in the Lonely Ridge, Ye Wen and Lin Chufeng had personally experienced the battlefield, but the terrain of the Lonely Ridge was narrow, and there were dangerous places such as mountain streams, which were not suitable for large-scale wars at all.

And this time, just as Xiao Yuanshan speculated, the Lanxi army was definitely prepared for such a large-scale attack. From the time they got the news to the time they put them into the battlefield, it was only a quarter of an hour of delay, but in this quarter of an hour, the defensive city around Kaiyang City had all been lost.

Moreover, this time, the Lanxi army also used ironclad cavalry, relying on the cavalry's rapid advance as a cover, a large number of Lanxi troops approached the city in a blink of an eye, and then launched a fierce offensive.

Using multiple arms to coordinate with each other, this is a typical serial warfare method, and it is usually only used in decisive battles, and it seems that this time the Lanxi army has already made up the idea of completely eating Kaiyang City.

"Hurry up and rush up with me." Under the crisis of the situation, Ye Wen directly issued a military order to the first battalion behind him, and rushed to the city pass first.

Immediately behind Ye Wen, most of these bandits did not hesitate too much, and they immediately rushed to the city pass and entered the battle. And Lin Chufeng's second battalion was obviously much worse in performance, these farmers may be eager to protect their families and defend the country in their hearts, but when they are really facing life and death, they still can't show determination.

However, under Lin Chufeng's repeated urging, his second battalion was finally all put into battle, but it is unknown how much role these people can play.

This is also one of the reasons why Ye Wen chose these bandits, most of them have actually seen through life and death for a long time, maybe they don't have the noble discipline to serve the country, but they know what they want in exchange.

Many things in this world are actually nothing more than the word business, but business and business are different, some businesses can be easily done with money, while some businesses can only be exchanged for life.

In fact, in the final analysis, being a bandit is no different from joining the army, it is a business that pins the head to the waistband of the trousers, but one can be exchanged for monetary returns, and the other can be exchanged for status rewards, so these people who can be bandits will naturally not be afraid to join the army.

The first time he participated in such a large-scale battle to defend the city, Ye Wen still showed some discomfort, unlike the confrontation between the two armies and the frontal fighting, defending the city naturally has a way of defending the city.

Ye Wen and the others had just ascended the city pass, and they had not yet seen the Lanxi army head-on, and the first thing they were greeted by was a dense rain of arrows, which was the Lanxi army's intention to suppress their defenses, in order to win time for the next cloud echelon.

Sure enough, the sound of "whooshing" arrows stopped in everyone's ears for a moment, and rows of ladders were set up at the pass of the city, and the Lanxi army, which was waiting in order, also began to ascend the city. At the same time, outside the city gate, hundreds of soldiers carrying a huge log were also constantly banging on the city gate, making a loud rumbling sound.

Although Kaiyang City is just an ordinary residential city, the two sides have been fighting for three months, as the key point of defense, the city pass, no matter what, will keep pace with the times, after several reinforcements and heights, the city wall of Kaiyang City also has a majestic posture, according to the defense here, Ye Wen's side still has an obvious advantage.

Under the rain of arrows covering Lanxi's soldiers, Ye Wen took the few people under his command who had the cultivation of Xili and took the initiative to advance to the forefront of Chengguan. With SCP cultivation, they will be able to gather their strength to defend against these arrows, thereby reducing the casualties of those ordinary soldiers.

In the past few battles with the Lanxi Army, Ye Wen has to admit that the quality of these Lanxi Army's individual soldiers is still very high. After all, Lan Xi has been preparing for many years to attack North Vietnam, and these soldiers are all well-trained, not like Ye Wen, who drives ducks to the shelves and wants to get on the sedan chair, and the troops raised can be compared.

No matter how elite they are, they are also ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to fly on their wings to this city wall that is seven or eight feet high. Their only reliance is on these ladders, and as long as Ye Wen guards these ladders, he is equivalent to being invincible.

These ladders are very narrow, and only one person is allowed to pass at a time, and in the case of one-on-one, Ye Wen has absolute confidence in the dozen or so people he brought up, unless the officer above the rank of squadron leader on the other side personally goes into battle.

Of course, the possibility of such a situation is actually very small, and the squadron leader is not a turnip and cabbage, grab a handful. They also need to dispatch their own soldiers, and this kind of large attrition of junior officers is equivalent to messing up their own positions, and no wise commander will do this.
