On the three poles of the sun, the horn battle horn sounded in the sky, and in an instant, the black shadows dotted on the vast snowfield rushed towards Jinxi like a tide. Gongsun Du didn't have a big killer from the later generations, and he didn't have any earth-shattering moves, but he had a lot of cannon fodder to drive - Fuyu. These warriors from the Songnen Plain, wearing fur hats and leather armor, armed with bronze axes, short spears, and even stone axes to open the way, shouted and rampaged along the way.

There was a soft "hiss" sound, and the feather arrow broke off the string, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the neck of a Buyeo man. Tang Ying didn't even glance at his trophies, he casually took out a feather arrow from the quiver beside him, skillfully set up the arrow, drew the bow, and put it. A hundred meters away, another Buyeo man fell to the ground. Beside Tang Ying, two young recruits were loading crossbows. For every three arrows Tang Ying shoots, two recruits can only release one arrow. Fortunately, the crossbow has a strong penetrating power, and it is also a lot of combat power at this moment.

"Set the target, don't let the arrow go." Tang Ying pointed to the two novices when he was picking up the arrow, but he didn't think about it, but he touched the void. It turned out that before he knew it, Tang Ying had already finished shooting a pot of arrows. Seeing this, the recruits on the side hurriedly handed him a pot of new arrows. Tang Ying bowed his head slightly to the recruits, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Pang Tong who was standing behind the battlements and watching the battle command.

"The stray arrow has no eyes, Shi Yuan is careful." Tang Yingmao stepped forward and pressed Pang Tong's head down. It turns out that although the swords of the Buyeo people are still in the Bronze Age, their horned bows are definitely not to be underestimated. These hunters, who roam the white mountains and black waters all year round, are all skilled at piercing through the poplars, and the Buyeo people also like to coat their arrows with their special venom, which is guaranteed to make anyone who is shot die an ugly death.

Pang Tong nodded at Tang Ying as a thank you, but he didn't know that the god of death might have just passed by him. At this time, he was concentrating on the Buyeo people who were trampling on the corpses under the city. Obviously, the fierceness of these barbarian warriors exceeded Pang Tong's expectations. After all, the Yellow Turban Thieves in the Central Plains suffered such a strong resistance. It should have been time to throw away his armor and turn and flee. However, the Buyeongs, who were under the city, ignored the life that was harvested like ears of wheat in front of them, and still brandished their swords and axes, resisting the heavy logs and rushing towards the city gate. So perseverance, so divine power. Such a speed is really staggering.

Finally, a group of Buyeo samurai, carrying logs, crossed the ditch through the rain of arrows and rushed straight to the city gate. Seeing this, Pang Tong couldn't help but shrink his pupils, got up and shouted. "Oil!"

However, Tang Ying's reaction was faster than Pang Tong's. He had already instructed his soldiers to pour a large pot of boiling oil from the hole in the city wall that was boiling over the fire. After a loud bang, Pang Tong and the others heard the most heart-rending screams they had ever heard in their lives. The stench of burnt water filled the city in an instant. The two recruits who had previously used the crossbow beside Tang Ying directly dropped the crossbow and vomited heavily.

Such a tragic scene also suppressed the Buyeo people who rushed to kill. Liaodong already lacks a decent big city. Siege warfare of a certain scale is even rarer. Many Buyeo people saw this kind of fried battle for the first time. The strong visual impact instantly crushed the nerves of most people. One, two, three...... As more and more people turned to run away. The Buyeo army was also defeated.

In the face of the defeated Buyeyu people, Gongsun Du was very calm. This time the temptation estimated that there were about four or five hundred people, but the dead were all Fuyu people, and Gongsun Du's own soldiers and horses did not move. On the contrary, Gongsun Du saw what he wanted to see. saw him indifferently turn around and order to the subordinates behind him, "Let Liu Yi come to see Gu." ”

In the first battle between the two armies, it was not only the Buyeo people who lost. As the defender, Jinxi also paid the price of injuring one person and dying ten. It is said that the injured man, a recruit who was going to battle for the first time, was so nervous that he accidentally slipped while going up and down the stairs, and as a result, he rolled down the stairs and broke his leg. But the other ten weren't so lucky. Without exception, they were all shot by the Buyeo's stray arrows, and eventually died from the poison on the arrows.

At this moment, looking at the ten corpses that were laid out on the ground. Pang Tong finally began to be afraid of his recklessness. If Tang Ying hadn't made a move, he might have been lying down with these soldiers. Tang Ying seemed to see Pang Tong's thoughts, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "This time the enemy army has been hit hard. Gongsun Du was afraid that he would not dare to act rashly. ”

Pang Tong came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Although Gongsun Du has injured many Buyeo people in this battle, its elite has not moved, and this siege is just a temptation. ”

Tang Ying looked at the snowfield covered with corpses in the distance, thinking that if he tried to do this a few more times, Jinxi would be in big trouble. After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Tang Ying lowered his voice and said to Pang Tong, "Shiyuan, tonight I will lead a team of men and horses out of the city to attack the Gongsun army camp!" ”

"No!" Pang Tong, who has always liked to use tricks, did not hesitate to veto Tang Ying's night attack this time. Seeing the latter's face full of doubts, he further explained, "Gongsun Du is cautious and cunning, and if he is newly defeated during the day, his whole army will be on guard. Shan Wei is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results in the night attack tonight. Therefore, consolidating the city's defense and appeasing the people's hearts is a top priority. ”

Tang Ying also felt that it made sense when he heard Pang Tong say this, so he temporarily put aside the idea of a night attack, and instead smiled and said, "Shi Yuan is reasonable. ”

News of the defenders' defeat of the Buyeo soon spread throughout the city. The tense atmosphere in the city has finally eased a little. But no one ran into the streets to celebrate the victory. Because long before Gongsun Du's troops came to the city, Pang Tong had issued a martial law order, strictly prohibiting idle people from going to the streets, so as to clear the streets so that the defenders could quickly dispatch between the city gates. In addition, this was only the first battle between the two armies, and Pang Tong himself did not want the soldiers and civilians in the city to be too excited about this victory. As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Demoralizing too quickly is not something Pang Tong wants to see.

Tang Ying was persuaded by Pang Tong to give up his plan to attack at night. Gongsun Du on the opposite side didn't seem to have any intention of sneaking up at night. The tacit agreement between the two sides made the people of Jinxi spend a peaceful night. Only the soldiers defending the city did not dare to relax, and the lights of Jinxi City were bright all night.

Siege warfare is a contest between body and mind. When the sun climbs three poles again, a new round of competition begins. As the deep horn sounded, it was still the Buyeo people who took the lead. The difference is that this time Gongsun Du's elite also went into battle and put on a posture of following up at any time. Although both sides were dressed as leather hats and leather armor, Gongsun Dujun was equipped with a lighter cooked leather round shield, and its weapons were all iron. Unlike the Buyeo people, bronze swords and stone axes went into battle. It is worth noting that Gongsun Du has a large number of cavalry, which shows that his mobility should not be underestimated. Of course, what is going on now is a siege battle. These cavalry were not able to exert their might for a while.

"Shoot the arrows!" Tang Ying led a group of defenders to shoot a rain of arrows. The Buyeo people still rushed forward with the arrows in a fierce and fearless manner. It's just that this time, many people brought cedar shields to damage low-grade arrows. But the speed and agility of the corresponding Buyeo people are also much inferior to yesterday.

Just as Tang Ying and Pang Tong were commanding the battle at the head of the city, a pawn stumbled from the building. As soon as he saw the two of them, the pawn immediately knelt down on one knee. "Report! Gongsun army attacked the east gate also! ”

"What?"

"Make it clear!"

Faced with the questioning of Tang Ying and Pang before and after the unification, the pawn swallowed his spit and replied: "Gongsun Jun has landed from the port and is attacking the east gate. ”

Tang Ying and Pang Tong are now located at the West City Gate of Jinxi. This gate is facing the Gongsun Du camp. It was the main direction of the Gongsun army's attack. In contrast, the east gate of Nishiki Castle is close to the harbor, but it can be said that it is completely on the back side of the main battlefield. However, it was such a special position, but at this moment, it was being attacked by the Gongsun army, which made Pang and Tang, who were the commanders of the city, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. saw Tang Ying hugging his fist to Pang Tong with a solemn expression, "Ying, go and have a look." ”

Pang Tong Tie nodded with a blushing face, and watched Tang Ying go down to the city. It is undeniable that ignoring the possibility of the East Gate being attacked is the responsibility of Pang Tong, who is a military advisor. At this moment, the east gate is also equipped with defenders. But most of them were recruits and civilians. Pang Tong equipped the main force at the west gate in front of him. If the east gate is breached, Jinxi will not be protected; If Jinxi is not protected, the entire battle situation will collapse in an instant.

For the first time in his life, Pang Tong's heart swelled with a trace of guilt. A hint of chagrin, even a hint of fear. But soon Pang Tong stabilized his feelings. The eyes also regained the firmness and confidence of the past. Indeed, his own mistake caused the crisis at the East Gate. But now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself, the net worth of tens of thousands of people in the city, as well as the hard work of the lord for many years, are all maintained on him. The battle is not over yet, the most important thing for me to do is to trust Tang Ying and defend the West Gate!

Tang Ying and the pawn who came to report the news walked down the stairs quickly. Seeing this, the relatives downstairs immediately brought a war horse for him. Tang Ying didn't say a word, then turned over and rode along the streets of the city to the east gate with a group of people. But Rao was like this, when Tang Ying arrived at the east gate, the thick gate of the east gate was being smashed by the siege logs outside the city. The defenders above and below the gates seemed to be a little overwhelmed by such a scene. Seeing Tang Ying's arrival, the military marquis in charge of the east gate hurriedly went down to the city and led Shangguan to the head of the city to watch the battle.

When Tang Ying saw the enemy troops slamming on the door under the city, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Obviously, the situation is not as severe as he imagined. Gongsun Du's men and horses may have taken advantage of the Buyeong's attack on the West Gate, rowing a small boat from the other end of the bay to quietly approach the shore on the pier. Due to the inexperience of the defenders at the east gate, they failed to take the initiative to attack when Gongsun Du's army landed, but rushed to the west gate to ask for help. This made this Gongsun army proudly attack the city. Fortunately, the number of people on the other side cannot be compared with Simon, and at most there are only about two hundred. As for the ladder they brought at the beginning, it had already been smashed by the oil pot and rolling wood in the city. Therefore, the east gate could only be attacked by guò by hitting the city gate.

However, it is not a way to let these uninvited guests keep slamming the door like this. After a general understanding of the enemy's situation, Tang Ying, who had a spectrum in his heart, hurriedly walked downstairs, turned over and got off his horse and shouted, "The cavalry is complete!" Rush out with me! ”

With Tang Ying's order, the soldiers with horses at the east gate got on their horses and showed off their weapons. Tang Ying nodded with satisfaction, immediately pulled out his long knife, turned the horse's head, and said in a deep voice to the military marquis, "Open the door!" ”

Against the backdrop of the sound of iron chains churning and creaking, the cavalry led by Tang Ying rushed out from behind the door like a dragon entering the sea. Gongsun Jun, who was originally concentrating on smashing the door, thought that the other party would suddenly open the door, and was immediately cut off by Tang Ying, who was in the lead.

Gongsun Du rode his horse and stood in the middle of the formation, coldly observing the waves of Fuyu people on the opposite side rushing through the ditch and beginning to climb the city wall. Counting the men and horses sent out at this time, they should have already begun to attack the east gate of Jinxi. But judging from the current battle situation, Jinxi's defense did not seem to be affected by this. This was a bit of a surprise to Gongsun Du.

As early as before the expedition, Gongsun Du had already heard that there were no generals in Jinxi City. The only general who had some fame was Zhang Liao, who had served under Lü Bu. Gongsun Du thought back to his days in Beijing and didn't seem to have much impression of this General Zhang. In addition, the more powerful people in the city are the "city lord" Lin Fei and the military advisor Pang Tong. It is said that the former was a scholar who was good at building, while the latter had just turned twenty. Let a little ghost who has not grown all his hair be a military advisor, this is really a big joke in the world. However, considering that Xuzhou Mu Caiji, the backstage of Jinxi, is only eighteen years old, it is not surprising that a twenty-year-old military advisor will be appointed.

Gongsun Du had not fought with Jinxi's guards before. According to his analysis, no matter what the talent of the other party, as long as they are young, they will inevitably be impatient and inexperienced. Therefore, after observing that the east gate of Jinxi was a dead end, Gongsun Du ordered people to land behind Jinxi from the sea, in order to give the defenders of Jinxi a sound to attack the west. And the reason why it didn't attack Jinxi overnight was because he was busy preparing the ship.

But now it seems that Jinxi's guards are calmer than he thought. At least so far there are no signs of panic. Could it be that those boats of soldiers did not come ashore? Or are there too few people? Or is the other side out of the city fighting? Thinking about this, Gongsun Du's mind suddenly flashed, and he turned around and shouted, "Liu Yi." ”

"The end will be." Liu Yi immediately stepped forward and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

"You led the people around to the east gate of Jinxi." Gongsun Du pointed forward and ordered. Originally, cavalry did not play a role in siege warfare, and no matter how high the cavalry of the Gongsun army was, it was impossible to break through the city gate, let alone climb the wall. But if the defenders of the city went out to fight, then the situation would be different. Besides, even though. Letting Liu Yi lead the team to run around the wall can also put a little pressure on the defenders.

Liu Yi has always liked to go straight, and at this moment, when he heard that Gongsun Du arranged it like this, he naturally hugged his fists and sang a fat song.
