Chapter 543: Ten Thousand People Concentric
Tian Yu responded calmly, this old man who was too old lacked physical strength and energy, not lack of experience, he had experienced countless battles in his life, what kind of wind and waves had not been seen, so even if it was the attack of the Huns like a mad tiger, it was nothing in his eyes,
Tian Yu is very calm to dispatch the army, that section of the city wall needs to be heavily charged, that section of the city wall needs to be put into the oil, that section of the city wall needs to add more bows and crossbows, that section of the city wall needs to throw wood and stone, Tian Yu is well arranged, the entire city defense is like a precision machine, under the command and dispatch of Tian Yu, fully play a role, so that the Huns' strong attack in vain.
The long career of fighting horses has made this veteran so calm and calm in the face of any difficulties, and his face is always unwavering, and it seems that the more dangerous situation cannot move him.
The four Xiongnu attacked Jinyang combined, at least 70,000 people, and the defenders of Jinyang City were only about 15,000, such a disparity in strength comparison, so that many people in Jinyang were worried about whether Jinyang City could be defended, and some people even suggested withdrawing from Jinyang and going to Jizhou to wait for reinforcements sent by the imperial court before recovering and annexing the state.
Tian Yu was unmoved, fleeing before fighting was definitely not his Tian Yu's style, as the history of the state assassin, Taiyuan, Xinxing, and most of the three counties of Xihe were lost, Tian Yu was already deeply derelict in his duties, if he gave up Jinyang at this time, then Tian Yu must not bear the nickname of the history of the escape assassin?
This kind of shame is by no means acceptable to Tian Yu, he has made countless achievements in his life, how can he not be guaranteed in the evening, so Tian Yu of Jinyang City must not retreat, and he must defend it to the death.
As the state of the state, the city wall of Jinyang City is still very solid, and the defense facilities are also very complete, like the trebuchet, bed crossbow, and arrow tower that are not common in the general city, and the defense capability of Jinyang City is second to none among the cities of Wei State, except for the big cities of Luoyang Chang'an, which are at the level of the national capital, other cities are really not comparable.
When Jinyang City was built, the most important function was to defend against the invasion of the Hu people, as an important border town, the military function of Jinyang City should be added to the civil function, it is certainly inappropriate to describe him with prosperity and wealth, but it is not an exaggeration to describe it with Huguan Xiongcheng.
Despite this, there are still more than 100,000 residents in Jinyang City, which also makes Jinyang City the largest city in the state.
The news of the Huns' attack has already spread all over the streets and alleys of Jinyang City, so that the people of Jinyang City are panicked, and the cruelty and brutality of the Hu people they have heard of for a long time.
At the time of crisis, the people of Jinyang City did not flee out of the city, because the news from outside was that the other cities in Bingzhou had all fallen, and now only Jinyang City had not been broken by the Huns, and if the people fled out of the city, within a radius of several hundred miles were occupied by the Huns, and leaving the city was equivalent to sending them to death.
Unless you can escape to Jizhou or Sizhou, there may be a glimmer of life, but on the way to escape for nearly a thousand miles, who can guarantee that you will not meet the Huns on the road, so although Jinyang City is in danger, no one takes the initiative to flee out of the city.
The people of Jinyang who remained in the city did not feel sorry for themselves, nor were they pessimistic and hopeless, but spontaneously organized themselves to transport food and materials to the officers and soldiers.
Some people laughed at this man for being crazy, he ripped off the house, where to live? The old man in the steakhouse responded domineeringly, the city is almost gone, and the house needs to be done, the city is only in life, the city is not lost, and the house is just something outside the body, what is the use?
After hearing this, Tian Yu deliberately invited this old man of the same age as himself to the city, and said with a deep bow: "Tian has thanked the fathers and villagers of Jinyang, with your support, Jinyang will never be lost, ten thousand people are united, its benefits are gold, Jinyang City will definitely be able to hold it!" ”
The old man bowed and said: "The safety of Jinyang City is all up to Tian Thorn History, and I am willing to do our best to help Tian Thorn History." ”
Tian Yu looked around, all of them were the eager eyes of the people, and he said loudly: "Tian will definitely live up to everyone's expectations, swear to defend Jinyang City, and will never let the Huns step into the city half a step!" ”
The people were thunderous, Tian Yu's words greatly encouraged them, made them full of confidence, the Huns are not terrible, as long as all the Han people are united, 10,000 people are united, and they are united, they will never let the Huns succeed.
Many young men spontaneously joined the ranks of the defenders of the city, and Tian Yu organized them into village warriors, distributed weapons to them, and assigned them to weakly defended areas to assist the officers and soldiers in defending the city.
Although these young men lack training and cannot become a qualified soldier, in this kind of city defense battle, the quality of the soldiers is not a very important factor, but morale, which will become the key to victory or defeat.
When the soldiers and civilians of Jinyang worked together and spilled their blood to the city, it was equivalent to building an impregnable line of defense.
Liu Meng's plan for a quick victory failed, and although he offered an extremely tempting maximum reward and launched an unprecedentedly powerful offensive, he was never able to break through the eastern gate of Jinyang under the stubborn defense of the Jinyang army and the people.
This couldn't help but make Liu Meng a little discouraged, originally thinking that with more than 10,000 troops in Jinyang City, he would not be able to block such a fierce attack at all.
But the result was completely different from what Liu Meng imagined, the Huns under Jinyang City suffered heavy casualties and piles of corpses, but they were never able to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Liu Meng is determined to win Jinyang City, because he will never allow others to get involved in Shan Yu's position, so when the other people have not yet arrived, Liu Meng is the first to strike, and the intention is very obvious.
But no matter how good Liu Meng's wishful thinking is, the result is extremely unsatisfactory, it can be said that stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, compared to other departments, Liu Meng lost a lot of men and horses in vain.
Two days later, in addition to Liu Bao, the other two groups of people and horses arrived, the northern Xiongnu Liu Teng and the central Xiongnu Liu Jiao arrived in the north and south of Jinyang City respectively, together with Liu Meng in the east of the city, forming a situation of encirclement of Jinyang.
If Liu Bao is not to come back to the Zi clan, then the four-way army can just form a four-sided encirclement of Jinyang, and the current situation is a bit of a siege of three and one is missing.
