Chapter 646: Heroic
On the wall of Beiping, the master of his own side personally ventured out, giving the guards on the city wall a reassurance, and the low morale instantly rose.
The adjutant general looked at Zhao Jun who was killing in the distance with a firm gaze full of admiration and passion, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at it from afar, and shouted angrily: "Cover the general, trebuchet, bed crossbow fire, archers come forward, covering strike." Crossbowmen, gather to the southwest corner, and when the opposing cavalry reaches the attack range, shoot me hard! ”
The entire city wall was instantly lively, and countless Yan soldiers and soldiers either controlled trebuchets and bed crossbows to attack, or prepared boulders and gold juice, ready to attack after the enemy army attacked under the city wall, and countless crossbowmen stood on the edge of the city wall with bows and arrows, waiting for the enemy army to enter the firing range. The overwhelming boulders and crossbow arrows flew towards the swarming Zhao army.
Looking at the overwhelming boulders in the air and the countless huge crossbow arrows whistling in, Zhang He's pupils shrank instantly, and he was deeply glad that he didn't choose to attack in the first place.
"Where did Gongsun Bogui get so many trebuchets and bed crossbows?" Gao Yan is incredulous.
Seeing countless falling rocks smashing into the charging army, leaving a blur of flesh and blood, countless huge insights roared in, and the sharpness easily penetrated several soldiers and plunged into the ground, Zhang He said with a solemn face: "This is naturally the support of the Chu State, Yuan Highway and His Majesty are already like water and fire, and now we have a tendency to swallow Hebei, it is expected that he will make a move, but I didn't expect his support for Gongsun Zhan to be so strong." ”
"With so many bed crossbows and catapults, Yuan Highway is really willing. The state of Chu is really rich! Gao Ran said with emotion.
Although Zhang He Gaolan on this side was dignified in his heart, he could still calmly analyze the battle situation, while Chun Yuqiong on the other side had already begun to curse.
Watching a boulder roar down from the sky and smash directly into the left rear, dozens of soldiers fell directly to the ground without accident, and even people and horses turned into meat paste. Chun Yuqiong looked at the general on the wall of Beiping City who pointed at him with a sword, and scolded with red eyes: "Shaft, when I take Beiping, I must punish your nine clans!" ”
The general who pointed the sword at him was naturally the deputy general who was arranged by Tian Kai to defend the city. At the first moment he saw the direction of movement of Chun Yuqiong's cavalry, he knew Chun Yuqiong's intentions, and directly called Sancheng's catapults and strong crossbows to carry out intensive and crazy attacks in this direction.
Chun Yuqiong's three thousand iron horsemen were enjoying the treatment that only 30,000 foot soldiers could enjoy at this time, and the boulders smashed around them were not broken. From time to time, a strong crossbow passed through it, testing Chun Yuqiong's eyesight.
"Click!"
Wielding the broadsword, mobilizing the legion's cloud qi to directly smash the crossbow bolt in front of the right with a single blow, Chun Yuqiong secretly cursed in his heart: "Sixth." ”
Compared to the powerful and incomparably strong stone throwing that fell from the sky, the crossbow bolt Chun Yuqiong that shot diagonally was still able to capture and destroy it. But it was only a moment's errand, and he had already slammed into six huge bed crossbow bolts.
The other party obviously saw through the trajectory of his movements, and countless attacks were directed in front of him, allowing him to just collide. Chun Yuqiong, who originally wanted to quickly go to support and seize Tian Kai, the main general, looked at the non-stop throwing stones and crossbow arrows, and in the end he could only choose to avoid the edge for the time being, no longer charging straight, but leading his subordinates to swing forward from side to side, so as to avoid a large number of attacks. But in this way, the speed of the march was suddenly reduced.
The city is fighting vigorously, and the city is naturally not to be outdone. Tian Kai, who had already put life and death aside, had already left all foreign objects behind at this time, and only had the 10,000 enemy troops in front of him in his eyes, leading the cavalry to constantly rush and kill in it. Each charge takes the lives of hundreds of enemy soldiers, and it has no intention of stopping.
As far as he is concerned, as long as the other Zhao troops do not kill in front of him, he will not retreat. And he believes that his lieutenant will be able to buy himself enough time. If he can't hurt the opponent at once, his attack this time is meaningless. Tian Kai was like a gambler at this time, struggling between life and death. You want to win more, but if you're not careful, you can lose the whole game.
The fighting continued, and the five hundred cavalry had fallen a lot at this time, and the rest were mostly covered in blood and wounds, but they did not have the slightest fear or panic, and the light in their eyes was excessive, like bloodthirsty wolves, and they became more and more crazy. This frenzied wolf slaughtered the sheep wantonly, oblivious to the oncoming hunters.
In the end, Tian Kai still maintained a trace of sobriety, looking at the Zhao soldiers who had already been slaughtered by himself and had no desire to fight, and the Chun Yuqiong cavalry who was only a charge distance away from him in the distance. Throwing down the already tattered armor on his body directly, the sharp pain caused by the blood scab that adhered to the wound and tore it made Tian Kai's brows furrow slightly.
"Stop! Withdraw with me! Tian Kai shouted.
The cavalry of the Yan Army, who fell into madness, were all awakened when they heard this. Then he left the enemy around him without hesitation, and followed Tian Kai towards the south gate.
Go out through the west gate and enter through the south gate. The adjutant general had already opened the south gate as arranged, and at the same time, several rows of crossbowmen and spearmen were lined up on both sides of the south gate.
Tian Kai's iron cavalry swarmed in without hesitation and entered the city through the south gate. And Chun Yuqiong looked at the crossbowmen and spearmen who were waiting at the city gate, thought for a while, and didn't dare to enter.
This is only outside the city, even if he really rushes forward, it will take a lot of time to break through this group of soldiers. If he is greeted by a group of bladed chariots, he will have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the earth. Therefore, he only shot some of the enemy troops by riding and shooting outside, and then turned around and withdrew. In siege warfare, cavalry is completely a burden, Tian Kai has already entered the city, and his existence naturally has no meaning.
Although Tian Kai had already entered the city, Zhang He had no intention of stopping the siege. It's all in this situation, so it's good to test the reality of Beiping. Countless soldiers carried ladders and rushed to the car. The target of the rush was not the city gate, but the city wall near the southwest corner of the Beiping city wall.
Tian Kai, who led the army back to the city, did not care about his injuries, and after he ordered people to place the soldiers who came back, he directly climbed the city wall at a rapid pace.
"General, you're back!" The lieutenant general said excitedly: "You have an injury, let's go back to recuperate first." There's something to look after here! ”
"It's okay, it's all minor injuries, it's not a big deal." Tian Kai casually picked up the coarse cloth and bandaged himself, while looking at the enemy troops surging under the city with solemn eyes, and said absentmindedly.
The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but gasp when they looked at the dense scars on Tian Kai's body, as well as several deep and explicit knife wounds and gunshot wounds. Looking at Tian Kai, whose face did not change, his heart was full of respect.
The military generals under the command of Gongsun Zhan, don't say anything else. The courage and ruthlessness honed by fighting with foreign races are admirable, Yan Zhao is a righteous man, and Youzhou is a fierce general.
