Kebi could look at the camp that had been ravaged by the Han army, and he was so depressed that he died.
"Great Chief, it's not that I'm afraid of death. The current situation proves that those Han people in the city are not easy to mess with, we have suffered a big loss, and if we don't leave now, in case other Han troops arrive, I and these tens of thousands of people may not be able to return to the grassland. "The Tukuga chief, who had previously proposed a retreat, made another proposal to retreat.
After Huang Zhong's actions, the leaders who had opposed it before were now silent, and they felt that this suggestion was worth considering.
But Kebineng didn't think much about it, and after suffering such a big loss, the responsibility can be said to be borne by Kebineng. If he had withdrawn now, he would have no hope of taking the position of Khan.
"The eagle of the grassland, how can you let the cowardly Han people bully you so much, if you don't take revenge, I can swear not to be a man. Go with you. Kobineng had already made his decision, and looked at the leaders with a grinning look in his eyes.
"The big leader is right, it is impossible for the eagles of the grassland to let these Han people go."
"After burning so much grain and grass, if we don't break through the city, we won't have food for the winter."
Tribal leaders are not stupid. Originally, enough food had been looted, and the Yin Pavilion was only added to the wealth. Now that most of the grain has been burned, if they don't dig down the Yin Pavilion, they can come for nothing when they go south this time.
"You are worthy of being my humble warriors, now go back to regroup your troops, have a good rest, and capture the city tomorrow." Kebineng was very satisfied with the leaders of several tribes, and hurriedly ordered.
The leaders of the various tribes went back to organize their troops and prepare for tomorrow's great battle.
The gate tower of the Yin Pavilion.
Liu Yu and the others were discussing the results of the night attack.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei reported to Liu Yu and them on the battle situation of the night attack and estimated the losses of the Xianbei people.
Liu Yu was very satisfied after hearing this, turned his head, and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, this night attack has achieved a lot of results. What do you think the Xianbei people will do next? ”
Chen Gong touched his beard and said: "Tonight, General Huang, they burned most of the grain and grass looted by the Xianbei people, and the purpose of the Xianbei people going south this time is to solve the problem of grain and grass for the winter, so I thought that the Xianbei people would definitely storm the Yin Pavilion tomorrow." ”
"Aren't we self-defeating? The Xianbei people have already got enough food and grass, maybe they will leave soon, and now they will definitely go crazy to fight the Yin Pavilion. Liu Huan had a bitter face, a little disappointed.
"Lord Captain, don't worry. The original strategy was to lure the Xianbei people to attack the Yin Pavilion. The plan of the night raid was also to force them to attack the Yin Pavilion. The advantage of the Hu people lies in field warfare, but there is not much way to deal with the tall cities, and our army is on the defensive, using the abundant grain and grass in the Yin Pavilion as bait, relying on the high walls and deep ditches to constantly consume the Xianbei people's forces and drag them down. When the other armies came, they left all these Hu people in the land of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. Chen Gong was foaming at the mouth, and Liu Huan also nodded frequently when he heard it.
"But the Yin Pavilion is surrounded on three sides, and I'm afraid the troops are insufficient." Liu Huan raised another question.
"It's an easy question. The major families in the Yin Pavilion City have a certain number of guardians, who can be organized to assist in defending the city. It can also mobilize the people to be young and strong, and with concerted efforts, it is not a problem to defend the Yin Pavilion City. Ben Hou, as the Taishou, led by example, and all the guards of the Taishou Mansion were all invested in the army defending the city. Liu Yu answered Liu Huan for Chen Gong.
Liu Huan was no longer worried at this time, and said with a happy face: "Lord Taishou is thoughtful and admires. It's up to me to inform the other families. With that, he turned and left.
Liu Yu looked at the situation map of the enemy and the enemy, and was full of confidence in the battle situation tomorrow.
The big families in the city all agreed to send their guards to participate in the war. After the Yin Pavilion City was broken by the Xianbei people, they were the first to be unlucky, for the sake of their lives, they cooperated with the orders of the government very much. Not to mention the people, who rushed to help.
The people of the Netherworld are united, just waiting for tomorrow's battle.
The sky is getting clearer, the murderous aura is beginning to permeate, and a big battle is about to begin.
The Xianbei people have begun to gather, sharpening their knives one by one. The Han army prepared all kinds of wood, boiling oil, bows and arrows. Liu Huan and Li Gui defended the east gate, Huang Zhong and Chen Gong were in charge of the west gate, and Liu Yu and Dian Wei were in charge of the north gate. The Xianbei people mainly attacked the north gate, and the other two gates feinted to contain the Han army.
Kebi Neng rode in front of the Xianbei army, pointed to Yinguan City and said: "Xianbei warriors, the cunning Han people attacked us last night and burned the grain and grass we relied on for the winter. Today, our great Xianbei army is going to let these Han people know that no one can stop us. The time for revenge has come, and the whole army will be free for three days. ”
"Break through the Yin Pavilion and get away for three days!" The morale of the Xianbei people was raised to the highest peak by Kebineng.
"Kill!" Kobi roared. All the Xianbei people pounced on the Yin Pavilion like hungry wolves.
"Archers prepare." Liu Yu hurriedly ordered. The herald hurriedly went down to give the order.
The five hundred archers all drew their bows and arrows in an instant, and all of them aimed at the Xianbei people below the city wall, and they were fired as soon as Liu Yu gave an order.
Liu Yu kept an eye on the distance between the Xianbei people and the city wall, and as long as the Xianbei people entered the range of the bow and arrow, he would give an order.
The speed of the Xianbei people was very fast, and they suddenly reached a distance of only an arrow from the city wall, and Liu Yu shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”。 In an instant, a rain of arrows poured down towards the Xianbei people, followed by a second round, and Liu Yu asked the five hundred archers to divide into two groups and take turns to fire, so that the frequency of archery could be accelerated.
The Xianbei people were suddenly attacked, and the speed of their advance was sluggish, and many Xianbei soldiers fell with arrows. The Xianbei people who reacted also hurriedly raised their shields to block the bow and arrows, and the Xianbei archers also hurriedly counterattacked. The number of arrows in the Han army continued to increase, and the intensity of attacks decreased.
"Very good, on the city team. Hit the wood also on. Kebi Neng smiled, the defense of the Han army was not very strong, and he was confident that he would break through the city in front of him today.
The Xianbei people prepared a large number of ladders, and also cut down a huge tree as a crash wood to break through the city gate. Under the cover of the vanguard team, the Xianbei people's climbing troops continued to approach the crashing wood.
"The archers will attack at will, and the rest will be prepared, the Xianbei people are going to enter the city." Liu Yu pulled out his snake sword and stared at the Xianbei people's oncoming troops.
Liu Yu only had five hundred archers, and it was impossible to completely block the opponent's advance. The Xianbei troops soon leaned the ladder against the city wall and climbed up the city wall like ants. The Han army kept pushing the ladder out, but the effect was not very good.
"Boiling oil, gold water, and sasswood, all used, fast." Liu Yu roared after pushing open a ladder. The Han army reacted and greeted the Xianbei people with boiling oil, gold water, and sassal wood, and many Xianbei soldiers were scalded or smashed, some fell from the city wall and hit their comrades, and some were directly stoned to death and scalded to death. A large group of Xianbei people carried the city gate that was constantly hitting the wood, but because the city gate had long been blocked by Liu Yu, no matter how much the Xianbei people hit the city gate, it was useless.
The casualties of the Xianbei people suddenly surged. Sensing the need to step up his attack, Kobi said to the herald, "Increase the number of teams." ”
Xianbei's ascending troops increased again. Liu Yu's defensive difficulty suddenly increased to a new height.
