Chapter 843: The Yan Army Attacked the City and Qin Cavalry Arrived
The next day, at noon, Chang'an, outside the city of Beicheng.
Liu Yu was dressed as a small soldier, standing at the head of the city, looking around coldly, the Yan army began to attack the city in the morning, and the main force of the Qin army in the camp outside the city has been standing still, watching more than 100 Yan army's catapults bombard the city wall, at this time, the passage of the city wall is full of dead bodies and wounded, a team of people carrying stretchers, hurriedly running up and down, carrying the wounded down, and the dead are not so lucky, directly thrown down the city wall, a pile of corpses at the base of the wall, piled up half a foot high.
Murong Lan is also dressed in sergeant's equipment, today she changed into a yellow-skinned mask and wiped her mustache twice, which made her look unnoticeable, just standing beside the tall and burly Liu Yu, the slender and tall figure, at first glance, is a woman, attracting many people to look here frequently.
Murong Lan's brows were tightly locked, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "What is Yang Ding doing, isn't there a decisive battle today, why did he let the Yan army line up to attack the city?" ”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Although Yang Ding has a rough appearance, he is not unfamiliar with the art of war, he most likely wants to wait and see and wait first, so that the Qin army will lose morale and strength when attacking the city, and then send out iron cavalry to attack when the other party is tired." Yesterday he put all the infantry back into the city to defend to make up for the weakness of the lack of troops in the city, and he only had 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and these 30,000 cavalry were the key to victory or defeat. ”
Murong Lan hooked the corners of her mouth: "Thirty thousand ironclad cavalry? ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's not all ironclad cavalry, I heard Fu Jian say that most of these soldiers and horses are Di people in the Qiuchi area, and many of them are horse bandits and robbers recruited by Yang Ding from the Hehuang and Saiwai deserts, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, this time Fu Jian gave Yang Ding the best equipment in the arsenal, but it is probably only enough to equip 15,000 ironclad cavalry, but if it is applied well, 15,000 cavalry is enough to break the enemy." ”
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Then do you say that Murong Yong and Murong Chong have a way to crack it?" ”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Then let's open our eyes and take a good look." ”
Beicheng, five miles outside the city, Murong Chong sat on a high handsome platform, his expression was grim, his eyes were looking straight ahead, the more than 100 trebuchets that were attacking the city just now had stopped firing, and the soldiers were shouting trumpets to push these trebuchets forward, so that the range could reach the city wall of the urn city about three hundred steps behind the outer wall.
A black-faced and long-bearded general, named Yu Wenjun, paused for the long lance in his hand, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what are you waiting for?" It's been an hour, and the walls of the outer city have long been devoid of enemy troops, so why don't you take advantage of this time to attack the city with all your might, and wait for the enemy army to reorganize and reinforce before attacking? That's going to be hard! ”
Duan Shu, another tribal leader who was a little older, had a slightly dark face, a short beard, a whole body draped, and a big axe to open the mountain, standing beside Murong Chong, after hearing Murong Jun's words, he turned his head and glared: "General Yuwen, what nonsense, isn't Your Highness as knowledgeable as you?" Yesterday, during the military discussion, it was said that the main force of the attack was Murong Yong, the right general who was ambushed in the camp, what we had to do was to attract the attention of the enemy army, create an opportunity for the right general, and as soon as the enemy army was dispatched, we would introduce them into the camp! ”
Hou Mo Chen Che, who was standing next to Murong Chong, was born tall and heroic, his waist circumference was half a circle thicker than that of several others, his height was close to nine feet, and he did not wear a helmet on his head, but he used a circle of iron hoops to trap his long scattered hair, after he heard Murong Shu's words, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "We are the main force of the army, why should we give this first merit of destroying the enemy's iron cavalry to Murong Yong!" ”
Murong Chong's face sank, and he turned back to Hou Mo Chen Che and reprimanded: "Stinky boy, what do you know!" The key to this battle is not to take this Chang'an City at all, but to deal with Yang Ding's Qin cavalry, Yang Ding has not appeared until now, obviously he wants to attack when we fail to attack the city and our morale and physical strength decline, how can we be fooled by him?! ”
The corners of Hou Mo Chen Che's mouth hooked, and he wanted to say something more, but suddenly, Gao Gai, who had been squinting his eyes slightly, stood up next to Murong Chong: "Your Highness, there is a situation in the back!" ”
Murong Chong stood up suddenly, like all the generals and colonels on this handsome platform, he looked at the rear of the camp, only to see that ten miles away, smoke and dust were everywhere, and from a distance, it almost looked like there was a yellow dragon in the sky with its teeth and claws, and under the smoke and dust in the air, it looked like an ant-dense Qin cavalry that was overwhelming!
Liu Yu looked coldly at the attacking enemy cavalry at the head of the city, this time most of the Qin army came with ironclad cavalry, far from the ordinary Qin army's tribal cavalry wearing leather armor, felt hats, and using bone arrowheads, the sunlight reflected by the armor leaves is enough to brighten the blind eyes, and from a distance, it looks like a shining luminous body, galloping, getting closer and closer! And a golden wolf-headed banner also followed the actions of the Qin army's iron cavalry, and the bloodthirsty wolf teeth and sharp wolf claws looked more and more hideous.
Murong Chong's expression was calm, and he said to the generals around him: "Everything is going according to plan!" ”
Under the golden wolf banner, it was the leader of the cavalry of the Qin army, Yang Ding, known as the first warrior of the Qiu Chi Di clan, his body was nine feet long, and he was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd that looked to weigh at least sixty catties, and the head of the halberd flashed with a cold cold light, like a wolf's teeth, and he couldn't wait to drink the flesh and blood of the enemy.
Yang Ding's waist was as thick as a large water tank, and there was a big sandalwood bow in the saddle on the left and right sides, which was half a person high, and it seemed that he had at least a bow force of more than three stones and five buckets, and the two quivers inserted in his back contained hundreds of long-rod wolf tooth arrows.
On Yang Ding's face, a long knife mark lingered on his forehead, extending from the bridge of his nose on the left side, all the way to his right mouth, which made his mouth look not very upright, a little slightly piled to the left, and the two front front front teeth seemed to be unable to be wrapped by the lips, and they pouted out of the lips deeply, like a man-eating wolf.
Yang Ding's eyes were full of bloodshots, and with the turquoise eyes, they formed a very strange mixture of colors, if you only saw his eyes at night, you would definitely think that they were blue wolves in the desert. He stared at the camp of the Western Yan Army ten miles away, and from the camp more than two miles wide, he could clearly see that the catapult of the Western Yan Army was being pushed forward.
An adjutant general beside Yang Ding whispered to Yang Ding: "General Yang Ding, Chang'an seems to have been attacked, what should we do now?" ”
