Chapter 98 Attack and Defense
"This sudden emergence of power is not simple, if it weren't for the civil strife in the Central Plains, I really suspect that this is the soldiers and horses of their court." Yuanziyou had an old face, the wrinkles could almost kill mosquitoes, and he looked up and sighed.
"The wall of Gaimu City is an earthen wall, please order a strong attack by your subordinates!" A general hugs his fists.
"It's not proper, it's not proper, don't you look at the defense of the city are all strong attacks and hard crossbows, strong attacks can only increase casualties, in my opinion, it is still mainly a feint, consuming their bows and arrows, I don't believe they have endless arrows." A scribe objected.
"How can there be immortals in a war, if we can't quickly capture Gaimu, what if there is a change on the young master's side? After all, we still don't know how many enemies there are in Liaodong. The military general retorted unconvinced.
When Yuan Ziyou heard this, his already sad face couldn't help but become even more bitter, and he frowned and said, "Attack, we don't have much time." ”
"Are you worried that they have reinforcements?" The scribe's face changed and he asked.
"It's not reinforcements, they know that we have to attack, and they defended Nansu, Mudi, Cangyan, and Gaimu are strictly defended, presumably Hengshan Pass, and the same is true for Baiyan City; Defending so many places, where is the point of their counterattack? Yuan Ziyou asked rhetorically.
"You're right, they must have a place to break the game, we have to open the situation first, otherwise we will be passive." A few drops of cold sweat flowed from the scribe's forehead, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
When a strong attack was set, Yuan Ziyou asked people to attack from three sides, take turns to attack, take a team of thousands of people, and not give Bai Suhua and others a little time to breathe.
Not only that, but also arranged to dig the army, not digging tunnels, but digging the foot of the wall, Gaimu City is an earthen wall, although thick, but it is definitely easier to destroy than bricks and stones, and the destruction site is also very good.
Another three days of continuous assault, tens of thousands of dead and wounded, finally made the guards tired, so many days of continuous attack, harassment, although the guards did not suffer many casualties, but both mentally and physically, have reached the limit.
"Bang!" With a bang, a section of the city suddenly collapsed, stirring up dust in the sky.
"Kill!" After so many days, the dawn of victory was finally seen, and the Goguryeo people outside the city shouted excitedly and charged.
"Follow me!" Bai Suhua snorted, and went down to the city with two knives.
"Kill!" The smoke and dust fell, and a group of Goguryeo people came towards the gap!
"Kill!" Bai Suhua was wearing steel armor, wearing a flying phoenix crown, with willow eyebrows, two steel knives parryed, and an oblique split, instantly killing two Goguryeo soldiers at the gap.
Fortunately, this gap is not big, only about three meters, Bai Suhua is standing in the middle, guarded by other warriors on both sides, and there are archers on top to support, which temporarily presses the Goguryeo people from advancing.
It's just that the gap is opened, and they have to face the constant impact of the enemy, Goguryeo These are all veterans, so they naturally know how to deal with it, and soon there are many sword and shield soldiers who cooperate to kill it.
Bai Suhua resisted for a long time, the enemy killed batch after batch, the originally smooth face was already covered with sweat and the blood of the enemy, there was no time to wipe it, the comrades around her died one after another, but she was just a woman after all, even if she ate a lot of ginseng to boil her body, her strength and endurance were still not as good as that of a man, seeing that the city that her husband asked for was about to be lost, she couldn't help but clench her teeth, and there was a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of her mouth.
The Goguryeo people were outnumbered, and new forces were constantly rushing in, and Bai Suhua was forced to retreat slowly, and more and more Goguryeo soldiers had poured into the gap.
At this critical moment, Hei Sumei rushed over on horseback, followed by hundreds of female soldiers.
"Kill!" Hei Sumei shouted and rushed up anxiously, she got the news and rushed over immediately.
"Kill!" A female general behind Hei Sumei followed Jiao Jiao, and waved the steel knife in her hand at the person behind her.
This female general is Su Dingfang's concubine, the chief of the Xi tribe with the Chinese name Chen Huilian, because of Hei Sumei and Bai Suhua, she also organized a group of female soldiers in the original tribe.
Don't underestimate this group of female soldiers, they are Xi people after all, and many times they are also responsible for hunting, archery and physical strength, fighting is quite good, as a pro-soldier, they are naturally equipped with steel arm recurve bows, rushing to the front, bending their bows and arrows, and shooting out at the front.
If other soldiers don't dare to do this, they may hurt their own people, but Xi people basically don't have this concern, and the archery skills practiced from the mountains and forests can be said to be uncommon.
"Ahhhh The Goguryeo people who rushed in fell like straw one after another.
"Die!" Hei Su Mei Feng's eyes glared, and she slashed the enemy around Bai Suhua.
"Sister, are you alright?" Hei Sumei asked worriedly.
"I'm fine... Sister, let people set fire! Bai Suhua put her knives on the ground and gasped.
Hei Sumei looked ahead, immediately understood what she meant, and took advantage of this gap to quickly ask the soldiers to bring the oil and oil.
There were female soldiers who blocked it with bows and arrows, and the Goguryeo people who rushed in for a while were all wiped out, and those behind were also shot so that they didn't dare to show their heads.
"Boom!" The sky burst into flames, plugging the gap, and bursts of meat fragrance spread out in all directions.
"Ahh As soon as Bai Suhua breathed a sigh of relief, she felt pain in her lower abdomen, and couldn't help screaming in pain, covering her stomach, and cold sweat flowed from her forehead.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Hei Sumei was shocked, hurriedly jumped off the war horse, dropped her double knives, and held Bai Suhua and asked.
"I... My stomach hurts terribly. Bai Suhua's face, which was washed by sweat, was already twisted in pain, and she gritted her teeth and said.
"It's... This... Medical officer! Medical officer! Hei Sumei was so anxious that her feet jumped, and she looked east and west without a master, and then she remembered to call a doctor.
"Quick, quick, help Mrs. go back, I'll check where the injury is first, so that the medical officer can treat it." Chen Huilian is worthy of being a woman who has been a chief, she is much calmer, and she stepped forward to support Bai Suhua and said.
"That's right! Right! Go back first. Hei Sumei nodded hurriedly.
"You stay, and when the fire is extinguished, the enemy will attack again." Chen Huilian turned her head and said to Hei Sumei.
Hei Sumei's chest rose and fell rapidly, she took a deep breath and calmed down, stared at Chen Huilian seriously, and said, "Please!" ”
"Don't worry!" Chen Huilian responded, and hurriedly led someone to pick up Bai Suhua and leave.
"Someone! Get me something to plug this place up right now! Hei Sumei had a fierce face, ordered loudly, and then picked up the double knives on the ground and walked up to the city with murderous spirit.
Seeing that a large number of troops had gathered not far outside the city, and it was obvious that they wanted to take the city in one fell swoop, Hei Sumei also began to arrange manpower.
Because the city wall collapsed, it was impossible to block as high as possible in a short time, and as soon as the fire stopped, the Goguryeo people would attack, and there was not so much time to block, so they just arranged for people to arrange obstacles in the city, mobilize crossbowmen, and deploy swords and shields.
