Chapter 650: Wind and Snow (2)

The sky is gradually bright, the soldiers of the Eastern Army on the fortress look at the Donghu cavalry that is overwhelmingly rolled over from a distance, they are all shocked, thousands of cavalry, boundless, tens of thousands of cavalry, even the sky and the ground, now, the soldiers of the Eastern Army on the fortress see the cavalry roaring to the sky and cutting the wind and snow in the sky, at a glance, they can't even see where their rear team is.

"I'm cāo his grandmother's, this battle is a little amazing!" The beard beside Song Hongxin muttered, as a former infantry pawn of the Central Plains, it is rare to have the opportunity to see so many brave cavalry gathered together in his life, even under Helin City, they fought several bloody battles with the Donghu cavalry, but what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and they could only see themselves facing those cavalry, but now, standing on the high place of the fortress, they could clearly see the military appearance of the entire Donghu cavalry.

Song Hongxin clearly heard the sound of the soldiers on the wall swallowing their saliva in unison, and when the matter came, everyone still had a nervous feeling.

"Brothers, don't hide behind the wall, show your head, and enjoy the Donghu barbarians to show us some horsemanship, they can play this job well, but they can't see it." Song Hongxin laughed and waved his hands non-stop, "Come on, let's see, let's see if Donghu's horses will climb the wall." ”

Boom, the soldiers on the wall laughed, Song Hongxin's witty words, effectively relieved the tension of the soldiers, everyone easily stood up straight, exposing most of their bodies outside the wall, this distance, the cavalry used by the Donghu cavalry, is difficult to shoot to the wall.

Above the watchtower, Xiao Haizi leaned out half of his body and waved his hand at the Donghu cavalry in the distance, "Hey, Donghu barbarian." Give me one. ”

"Play one, play one!" Under the watchtower, above the city wall, all the soldiers of the Eastern Army shouted loudly. The tension of the sudden attack on the strong enemy disappeared in the bursts of laughter.

In the distance, Mo Yandu, the forward general of the Donghu River Troop Camp, looked at the fortress in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply, he had seen the appearance of these forts on the drawings, which was the intelligence that the sentry horsemen had spied back at the cost of their lives. But now it seems that those drawings have no effect at all, because the real thing in front of you is very different from what it looks like. The Central Plains people's understanding of the city is indeed not comparable to those warriors who are accustomed to dueling on horses, and they actually rely on ice and snow to almost rebuild an ice city in the shortest possible time.

The torches on the wall are still burning, and the firelight is reflected on the smooth and reflective wall, which is full of color. It looks beautiful, but for the besiegers, it's a deadly temptation.

Not only the walls that suddenly became taller, but also dozens of steps away from the city walls. But the strangely shaped snow stones that stretched nearly a hundred paces away were believed to be used by the enemy to block the cavalry.

Mo Yanlu shook his head gently, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Liao River freezing this winter to ride across the moat. However, the opponents also made full use of the snow and ice in the Hetao to strengthen their walls, which made it possible for the Donghu warriors to shed more blood to uproot these fortresses one by one.

Tens of thousands of cavalry crossed the river, and it was impossible to leave these nails on the east bank. This attack in the ice and snow is a huge pressure for Donghu's logistics, and it is impossible to make a difference, tens of thousands of horses, people eat and chew horses, and the daily consumption is an astronomical amount, if the Eastern Army is allowed to maintain a force on the east bank, even if the opponent is basically a foot soldier, for the Donghu army, it is also dancing on the cliff, and if it is not good, it will fall to pieces.

The best way, of course, is to remove these nails completely and firmly control the East Bank in their own hands.

Seeing the soldiers of the Eastern Army cheering and jumping on the wall, Mo Yanlu was a little strange, and asked back left and right, "What are they doing, they look very happy?" ”

Both left and right shook their heads, among them, no one understood the language of the Central Plains, and could not understand the provocation of the soldiers of the Eastern Army in the fort, but intuitively, everyone could feel that it was definitely not a good word.

"General Mo Yandu, do you want to attack first?" Gu Jili from the Tiele Department asked.

"It's not easy to fight, the ladders we used to make are a lot shorter, the soldiers can't climb up, settle down first, let the logistics baggage lengthen the ladder and then attack it, there are only more than 100 people stationed around this stockade, and after we do a good job of the ladder, we will besiege it on all sides, and one person can drown him with a mouthful of spit."

"Yes!" Gu Jili nodded.

In the reform of the military system in Donghu, all the ministries used to be soldiers of the whole people, grazing in leisure time, fighting in wartime, establishing the state of Thorpe, calling the king, setting up a standing army, and uprooting the elite from the various tribes to establish a standing army. During the war, the king of Donghu drew troops from the left, center and right armies or sent the whole army to fight, and the generals were appointed temporarily, and the military power of the three armies of the left, center and right was all in the hands of the king of Donghu.

After the reform of the military system, the chiefs of the Donghu tribes were deprived of military power, and since then, they can only be the nobles with a respected status among the Donghu, but there is no longer the person who holds the actual power before, and their political influence on the Donghu began to gradually decrease. And the power to control the whole of Donghu is being transferred to the bureaucracy with the king of Donghu as the core.

Like the Hetao camp that went out to the Hetao this time, the commander was Yan Qi, but the subordinates were all left, middle and right, and there were 5,000 palace guards of the private army of King Donghu, and the generals under his command were from various tribes, like Mo Yanlu, who was from the Hui Department, and Gu Jili was from Tiele.

On the wall, seeing the Donghu cavalry began to retreat, the soldiers of the Eastern Army cheered loudly, I don't know who beat the war drums, in the sound of war drums, the beard climbed on the ice wall, crossed his legs and stood on the wall battlement, unbuttoned his trouser belt, took out the huge thing under his crotch, and urinated at the city.

Song Hongxin tilted his head, looked at the thing under his beard, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the shape of Xiao Haizi in the city is according to your size. ”

The beard laughed proudly, "Xiao Haizi's size is ashamed to set off, so naturally he can only follow mine." ”

On the top of the watchtower, Xiao Haizi was furious, jumped to his feet and said: "Nonsense, nonsense, I obviously molded it according to my own size." ”

"yes, then take it out and Bibi!" The beard tilted his head, held the guy defiantly, and shook at Xiao Haizi.

Xiao Haizi's face was flushed, and his hand touched the waistband of his trousers, but he still didn't untie it, but he slurred and retracted into the watchtower, and his head suddenly burst into bursts of laughter.

"Beard, your fire is a little big, and your urine is so yellow!" Song Hongxin held back a smile and said to the beard seriously.

"Can the fire not be big?" The beard pouted disappreciatively, "But when we get to work with them, this fire will naturally go away." ”

Before Song Hongxin could answer, he heard the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves, turned around, and couldn't help but be startled, the Donghu people who were just about to retreat, just in the time of their conversation, turned around, and a group of cavalry about hundreds of people was rushing towards their fortress.

"I'll rub!" Song Hongxin couldn't help but be surprised, "I want to do a sneak attack!" Brethren, prepare for battle! ”

In fact, the Donghu soldiers didn't come to sneak attack, they were so angry. They didn't understand the provocation of the soldiers of the Eastern Army on the wall, and they didn't feel anything, but in the end, the beard climbed up to the top of the city, took out the thing and shook it, and even urinated down, accompanied by the laughter of the soldiers in the city, I couldn't understand what the soldiers of the Eastern Army said, but couldn't I see what they were doing? The easterners were outraged.

Mo Yanlu was also angry, as a commander, an experienced general would naturally not be dizzy and make some wrong decisions because of this, but he also knew that in the face of such a provocation by the soldiers of the Eastern Army, if he did not fight back, it would not only damage his morale, but also make the generals and soldiers under him think that he was weak. This is not the soldier of his own clan that he brought before, what he said, what he did, no one would question it, if he couldn't convince his subordinates, and couldn't let the soldiers use their lives, how would this battle be fought in the future? How can you lead the troops yourself?

Mo Yanlu knows very well that even if he is not prepared, even if he has to pay the price of his life, he has to make a tough response at this moment. Maybe he will leave a lot of blood under the ice and snow wall today, but this blood will also become a powerful booster when he attacks again.

More than a hundred brave horses with good riding skills jumped into the obstacles of those strange shapes, relying on their superb riding skills, in which the speed did not decrease much, and the horses went straight to the fortress.

Song Hongxin was taken aback at first, but then he saw that only more than 100 horsemen rushed in, and suddenly understood what the other party's coach meant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer, you want to give me a gift, of course I want to be disrespectful, Lao Tzu didn't plan to go back alive from here, the purpose of nailing here is to kill as many opponents as possible.

"Let them go under the city wall and then do it, do not move the bed crossbow, stretch your arms, prepare four hundred crossbows, one round every fifty arrows, four rounds in a row, and we will keep them all under the city." Song Hongxin said coldly.

More than a hundred cavalrymen were unhindered by the numerous obstacles, but when they had just rushed out a few paces in the first wave, the first round of crossbow arrows came down head-on.

The strong force of the crossbow in the arm, within a hundred steps, made people have no room to dodge at all, almost as soon as the sound of arrows roared, the crossbow arrows had already reached the front of the Donghu cavalry. (To be continued......)
