Tuoba Liwei's attack on Yanmen this time was to try to open a door into the Central Plains, so this attack was not tentative, Tuoba Liwei mobilized 100,000 troops at once, accounting for almost half of the troops in the central Xianbei.

It stands to reason that for such a major military operation, a small army should be sent to carry out several tentative attacks in advance to test the Wei army's defensive capabilities and the feasibility of entering the annexed states, but Tuoba Liwei does not seem to have that kind of patience, and he personally led a large army to drive straight in, apparently thinking of a successful battle.

The rebellion of the Huns gave Tuobali a small inspiration, so that he seemed to see the hope of success, the Huns who survived for a long time could set off such a big storm in the land of Bingzhou, so how could the Xianbei people in their heyday lose to the Huns?

It was precisely because of this self-confidence that Tuoba Liwei did not take cautious tentative actions, but directly led the army to attack, his purpose was to take Yanmen in one go, and then advance to the belly of Bingzhou.

The fire of the Huns' rebellion has gradually been extinguished, and the Wei army has been able to free up its hands to deal with the new invading enemy, so Tuoba Liwei is not willing to wait any longer, he thinks that this time is the best opportunity, time does not wait for me, if it is delayed any longer, it is likely that he will not even be able to drink the soup.

Yanmen Pass is in front of him, Tuobali looked at this gate from a distance, a subtle smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered the Xianbei army to attack in a deep voice and take Yanmen Pass in one go.

Tuoba Li was extremely strict in governing the army, and he imitated the Han army, placing war drums in the army, and using the drum beat to direct the advance and retreat of the army.

Unlike those Xianbei nobles who were born recklessly, Tuoba Liwei attached great importance to learning the culture of the Han people, and he once hired some Han Confucian scholars who lived outside the Saiwai as teachers to learn Chinese characters and dictionaries and the art of war, and widely collected Han books.

He had read a lot of books on the art of war, and was fascinated by the works of those famous masters on the art of war. Whether it is the Huns, the Wuhuan people, or the Xianbei people, they only rely on the strength of their husbands to fight, and they are brave and unstrategic, and they often suffer great losses when they fight against the Han army.

If we want to reverse this situation, we must make changes, and only by effectively imitating the formation of the Han army can we effectively improve the combat effectiveness of the Xianbei army.

Therefore, Tuoba Liwei first tried to use the drum beat to command the army to fight and improve the consistency of the army's operations, although there was a lot of gap compared to the Han army, but it was already a considerable improvement with the Hu army that was accustomed to fighting with the guerrillas.

It was with such an army that Tuoba Liwei led the weak Suotou to defeat the strong enemy step by step, annexed one tribe after another, and finally unified the central Xianbei and became the most powerful of the Xianbei tribes.

In the rumbling sound of war drums, the Xianbei army rushed forward like a tide and launched an attack on Yanmen Pass.

The Xianbei army was all cavalry, but when attacking the city, the cavalry had no place to use, they could only abandon their horses and fight on foot, using ladders and hooks to attack the city.

The ladder and hook rope are the equipment prepared in advance, and the goal of this attack is very clear, that is, to take the Yanmen Pass, so before the expedition, Tuoba Liwei ordered the army to build a large number of ladders and prepared a lot of hook ropes for siege.

In fact, Tuoba Liwei is extremely fascinated by the large equipment such as catapults, siege vehicles, bed crossbows and other large equipment used in the Han army, and the Xianbei army can be invincible on the grassland, but once the siege operation is carried out, it is often a melancholy, and the main reason is that the Xianbei people lack decent siege equipment.

But the difficulty of building these equipment is extremely great, without technology, without craftsmen, just based on some conjecture, it is impossible to build qualified siege equipment.

Therefore, although Tuoba Liwei has a great interest in building these weapons, he is trapped in technical difficulties, and he can only end up building some less difficult ladders.

But fortunately, the Xianbei army is overwhelming, and it can use the tactics of crowds and use ants to attack the city.

The attack of the Xianbei people was indeed much more orderly than that of the Huns, and under the command of the drumbeat, the Xianbei army that abandoned the horses and fought on foot was in a neat lineup, and launched an attack on Yanmen Pass at the same time on a front more than two miles wide.

A series of ladders were erected, the number of these ladders was quite large, how dense was it, almost the outer wall of Yanmen Pass was covered all over again, all the Xianbei soldiers struggled to climb up, densely, as if hanging on the city wall, arranged neatly.

Deng Ai, Shi Bao and Le Qi had serious expressions, and the intensity of the siege troops invested by the Xianbei people was obviously beyond their expectations, and they did not expect that the attack of the Xianbei people would be so rough and direct, and they did not use that kind of tentative attack method, but gathered heavy troops from the beginning and poured all their strength into the attack.

This obviously put a lot of pressure on the defense of Yanmen Pass.

Le Qi's face turned pale, if there was no aid from Deng Ai Shibud, but with the thousands of defenders at Yanmen Pass, it would be impossible to stop such a fierce attack of the Xianbei people no matter what.

Fortunately, there are 10,000 troops of Deng Ai Shibao, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Le Qi, and there is no shortage of defensive equipment when Yanmen closes it, and the only thing that is lacking is probably only people.

The Xianbei people came like a tide, and the Wei army also tried their best, using bows and arrows, rolling wood, rocks, boiling oil, boiling water and other weapons to counterattack.

In the defense of the city, almost everything in the city can be used as a defensive weapon, even a brick or a beam can be used as a weapon to kill the enemy.

The Wei army was condescending, constantly shooting arrows and throwing wood and stones to prevent the Xianbei army from ascending the city.

However, this kind of scream was immediately drowned in the tsunami-like shouts of the Xianbei people, and the casualties in front could not stop the offensive momentum behind at all.

From the very beginning, the battle showed a white-hot trend, and the fierce fighting between the two sides was in full swing.
