50. Don't miss the opportunity

And Xu Chu, who was neatly dressed, led more than 1,000 living forces to converge with Liao Hua and other generals, and immediately formed a triangular charging formation. With Xu Chu as the arrow, in the glaring roar, dozens of catties of big knives were waved like a windmill, sweeping forward like a sudden wind. All the enemies in front of them either become the souls of the sword, or they retreat in fright.

Zhou Cang, Zhang Baiqi and other wolf guards followed closely and extended the bloody path that Xu Chu rushed to both sides, forcibly tearing a bigger opening; Behind them, the Xinghan Iron Cavalry, which was numerous and well-armed, was led by Liao Hua to slash and slaughter the Xianbei Cavalry, which was already in fear and chaos, and gradually became a sweeping trend.

Thousands of Xianbei cavalry who did not dare to fight, originally formed a right-wing charge formation, but only lasted a quarter of an hour, and were divided into two by the fierce Xu Chu and others from the middle, suffering heavy losses, and the rest of the left and right pushed, advanced and retreated, and had no intention of fighting against the Xinghan infantry army that was rushing out of the shield array.

However, the Xinghan army, which had lost dozens of cavalry, after killing the enemy's right flank, did not care about throwing off the blood on the blades, and without the slightest hesitation, he urged the horses to follow Xu Chu and the wolf owl guards, and after drawing an arc to accelerate, with a thunderous momentum, they entered the rear of tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry who had been fighting head-on between the two armies for a long time and were on the verge of collapse.

The Xianbei cavalry on the front and the Xinghan army have been fighting for the longest time, and the tireless and bloody Modao army, with the support of the Xinghan crossbowmen and spearmen, has crossed the shield wall paved with blood and stacked stumps, and advanced more than ten steps forward with a brutal and wild attitude.

In front of him is the blood-colored Mo knife that is constantly approaching in the rise and fall, and the dense arrow rain with whistling sound above the head, tens of thousands of Xianbei riders who have been here have long lost the majesty of the past to raise their horses and whip and slash the enemy. And now, in the face of well-trained and well-equipped Xinghan foot soldiers, even the advantage of being on horseback and condescending is gone. It didn't take long for him to suffer heavy casualties, turning into a look of no fighting spirit and retreating in fear, if it weren't for the shouting of the leader of the team, and the bullet pressure of the warlord team who raised their swords and glared angrily not far behind, they would have collapsed long ago.

Now suddenly I saw a group of murderous Xinghan iron horsemen, killing from behind, and the sharp-eyed ones hurriedly cursed, while turning their horses' heads to meet the enemy, but they were in a panic and stirred up again. The overseers who bore the brunt of the battle looked at each other, and had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush forward, trying to buy time for their own army, but finally did not lose the face of the leader of the Xianbei tribe.

But the idea is beautiful, the courage is admirable, but the effect is to make the Xianbei people despair.

Hundreds of supervising teams with swords to greet each other, under the assault of Xu Chu, Liao Hua and the generals of the wolf owl guard, were almost rushed to pieces, and they did not bring any resistance to the Xinghan cavalry that rushed quickly.

The Xianbei cavalry, who was still in the midst of the chaos of the whole army, saw that most of the guards who had been accompanying the leaders in the past, arrogant and invincible, were so easily slaughtered, they could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and after a strange scream, they resolutely galloped away from the battlefield.

Leaving a few small officers who were still shouting just now with a stunned face, until they were awakened by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and saw the Xinghan army close at hand, gritting their teeth and smiling, they trembled for no reason, and no longer cared about any courage and dignity..., and fled for their lives with the horses of the rout.

These last hundreds of Xinghan iron cavalry, like a straw that broke the camel's back, turned the battlefield that was holding each other into a crushing battle. The rout of the Xianbei people first began on the right side of the front, and gradually turned into a great rout like a flood spreading everywhere.

The real step of the city in the clouds, helpless, and rushed to attack his heart, a large mouthful of blood spurted out again, and then fainted in the arms of the soldiers beside him.

The battle, which lasted less than an hour, came to an end in the slashing and slashing of the Xinghan cavalry. Xu Chu, who had been killed, discussed with Zhou Cang and others, and wanted to enter Yunzhong City with the Xianbei cavalry army, but the defenders on the city saw the defeated army rushing to the city gate, and not only did not open the city gate in fear, but also ordered to prevent arrows from shooting many of his own people, Xu Chu had to curse twice towards the city tower and retreated.

The situation has been decided, Wang Bo, who was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers under his command, waved his hand to the heavy soldiers who were eager to try in the formation, and ordered to set up camp, and was about to go to appease the injured soldiers, Liao Hua drove his horse back to Wang Bo and said: "Lord! At present, Hugou is newly defeated, tens of thousands of horsemen are frightened and scattered, and the enemy defenders in Yunzhong City must be insufficient! And the morale of our army is high, why not take this opportunity to break through the clouds in one fell swoop, and the overall situation can be determined! ”

Wang Bo's heart moved after hearing this, and he put his hand on the pergola and looked at the hour, but frowned and looked at the tired and motionless Modao soldiers on the ground in the distance, and said with some worry: "I am very vigilant in guarding the enemy in the clouds, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Liao Hua said a little hurriedly: "It's still early before sunset, although our army is a little tired, but this battle is less than an hour, and most of the soldiers have not done their best, but they can fight a battle!" Although the enemy cavalry has been dispersed, most of them still exist, Budugen Lao'er must gather his crowd at this moment, if he waits for tomorrow to attack the city, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of attacking the fortification! Our casualties are even heavier... Lord, don't miss the opportunity! ”

After listening to Liao Hua's analysis, Wang Bo couldn't help but be surprised: yes, although Xianbei was killed all over the field and bloodshed like a river just now, but it also looked at the situation, and only killed more than 10,000 people, and two or three people who saw a bad opportunity ran away. No way, although people have four legs? It wouldn't be good if these soldiers gave way to Dugen before it got dark, gathered back to Cloudsdale City, and then waited for reinforcements...

Thinking of this, Wang Bo immediately jumped three feet high, hurriedly asked the auxiliary soldiers to throw down the work in their hands, and immediately prepared siege equipment; At the same time, let Xu Chu lead most of the Red Tiger cavalry to inspect the other three gates of Cloud City and disperse the Xianbei army that tried to enter the clouds. Then he gave an order to the whole army: attack Yunzhong in an hour, and it must be taken in one fell swoop!

Since the time of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the old Yunzhong City was in the hands of the Xiqiang and Xiongnu several times, and later fell into the hands of the Xianbei people. After countless wars, the city defense has long been dilapidated, and the Xianbei people who only do nomadic horse herding have never repaired, resulting in the decay of the cloud city that was originally a fortress everywhere, the city wall is broken and low, the original wide and deep moat, almost dried up into a shallow ditch, and the Xianbei people in order to enter and exit conveniently, actually used earth and stone at each city gate to expand the passage of several zhang.

After Wang Bo, who walked closer, observed, he couldn't help but tilt his mouth and shake his head: It's really self-inflicted!

An hour later, three tall horse-drawn wells were erected under the gaze of countless panicked eyes on the head of the city in the clouds, and more than a dozen simple stone-throwing carts were lined up one after another, and the baggage soldiers were shouting to unload the huge logs from the carriages, and two powerful "bullet carts" were dug and planted.

After everything was ready, Wang Bo made a powerful downward chopping motion with his right hand, and the siege began immediately.

First of all, the stone throwing machine and the bullet cart were skillfully operated by the baggage soldiers, throwing large stones and chain balls with a whirling monster, and flying towards the city wall with a breathtaking momentum. After correcting the deviation of the first round, the second round of long-range strikes smashed most of the city walls and tops in the clouds in the screams and dodges of the Xianbei people, and in an instant, the earth and stones were everywhere, and the smoke and dust rippled, shaking the city wall with a loud buzz, mixed with dozens of screams of different heights.

The Xianbei soldiers on the city wall, who had no intention of fighting, were even more chaotic at the moment, looking for a place where they thought they were safe to hide. And Budugen's coma again also made the leaders of Xianbei, who had no leader in the dragons, become disagreeable and incomprehensible, so they could only helplessly huddle behind the heavy city tower, constantly cheering up the panicked Xianbei soldiers.

Knowing that the Xinghan army outside the city would take the opportunity to drive the well cart and carry the ladder, and constantly approached under the city wall, but still few dared to approach the wall to stop them, they all held their heads deadly, hid and listened tremblingly, the continuous bombardment sound around them, and the terrible screams of their companions.

Fortunately, in order to march quickly, the Xinghan heavy soldiers did not carry many stones, and Wang Bo gritted his teeth and used them all, and only maintained five or six rounds.

By the time the raging stones and chain balls on the city had completely stopped, and the well cart had slowly traveled to less than forty paces away from the city wall, at this time, the long-range weapons of the Xinghan army also stopped striking because the stones were exhausted, and the order to attack the city immediately resounded through the east gate of Yundong.

Thousands of archers under the protection of heavy shield hands, divided into three waves, to the Xinghan army selected to land in the clouds, shooting wave after wave of arrows, Niu Da also organized dozens of archery marksmen, specifically responsible for attacking the Xianbei soldiers who dared to show their heads; At the same time, a large number of sword and shield soldiers carried the ladder and roared towards the city wall; Slowly approaching the well car close to the city wall, followed by the Modao warrior who was a little slow and hurried with his head down.

Hearing a roar from under the city, you don't need to look to know that the Xinghan army has begun a general attack. The Xianbei soldiers who were still trembling on the top of the city wall in the clouds, under the reprimand of the leaders of the clan, mustered up the courage to rush out of the hiding place, hurriedly sorted out the bows and arrows in their hands, and ran towards the city wall.

Before he could run a few steps, he was hit by a rain of arrows in the sky, and the screams rang out immediately, and the Xianbei soldiers with insufficient protective equipment were constantly hit by arrows. However, they also knew that now was not the time to cower, and their instinct as warriors made them grit their teeth and ignore the casualties, and quickly opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy troops charging under the city, and some of them were far away from the city walls, and they didn't even have time to run to the city walls and threw them on the spot.

After all, all the Xianbei soldiers are good at shooting, even if they can't get their heads right in a hurry, but the numerical advantage is not small, and it also caused dozens of casualties to the Xinghan army below, but most of them were injured in the limbs rather than vital points.

However, most of the Xianbei soldiers who hurriedly went into battle only had time to shoot two rounds of arrow rain, and most of the Xinghan army's wells and ladders were already in place. The sword and shield soldiers shouted and set up the ladders at the head of the city, put the ring head knife in their mouths, and the top shield struggled to go up; There was a circle of Xinghan troops around the well car, and some pulled up the rope of the well and the well; Some fixed well frames, and the arrows shot by the Xianbei people continued to fall on the huge well carts, but the damage caused was minimal.

The head of the city in the clouds was also sparsely scattered at this time, throwing down some stones and other heavy objects to prevent the Xinghan army from climbing up, and the leaders of the Xianbei tribe who were roaring and screaming in a hurry, after slashing and killing a few slow soldiers, all the Xianbei soldiers also mustered up their courage and shouted desperately.

Seeing that the sword and shield soldiers on the ladder had quickly climbed to the middle position, the crossbowmen and archers of the Xinghan army stopped shooting in turn, leaving only a few soldiers with accurate archery skills to shoot above the ladder to open the way for the sword and shield soldiers on the ladder.

The wolf owl guards who followed the well cart in the middle, without waiting for the sergeant below to fix the well cart, climbed along the wooden ladder dragged behind the well cart to the upper part of the shaft frame that was still slowly rising. After rising to a suitable position and stopping, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao glanced at each other, both raised their knives to cut the rope that bound the climbing pedal, and immediately raised their shields to block the opening of the well frame facing the city wall, while the people behind them used the shooting hole on the well frame baffle to keep pulling the repeater in their hands.

After a loud bang, the iron-clad hardwood pedals on the well car slammed heavily on the top of the city wall in the clouds, sending up a circle of scattered dust, and two unlucky ghosts who were slapped into meatloaf. The rain of deadly arrows flying from the dust came quickly, clearing a small clearing for the Xianbei army who were being miserated by the pedals.

After a few breaths, the crossbow in everyone's hands had been shot empty, and Zhou Cang's sword and shield touched it, and then he rushed to the pedal with a loud roar, Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Baiqi, Ping Han, and Li Damu followed.

The well pedal of less than two zhang is at the feet of the wolf owl guard generals, which is a few things to cross. The dust on the other end of the pedal had not yet cleared, and the Xianbei soldiers who realized that something was wrong around them had not had time to gather over, and they were stirred up by these murderous killing gods with fierce roars, faces and bodies......

The Xianbei soldiers, who lacked a strong organization at the head of the city, although they also showed the bloody nature that barbarian warriors should have, this chaotic battle with no discipline and rushing upwards was the opponent of Zhou Cang and others. In less than a quarter of an hour, the Xinghan Army, which was led by the wolf guard, opened up a large piece of open space, and with the continuous addition of the Modao warriors, it has shown a momentum of rapid expansion.

In the high cheers and shouts of the Xinghan army, the wolf guards covered in blood had turned to kill the generals along the outside of the city wall, in order to receive more Xinghan troops to the top of the city.

At this time, most of the Xianbei soldiers have thrown away their bows and arrows, and they are not afraid of death under the shouts of the leaders of the large and small tribes, but the nomads' foot combat is a natural weakness, even if there are occasional brave warriors, they are constantly slashing under the cooperation of the long spears and short knives of the Xinghan army, and even the large group of Xianbei soldiers are constantly retreating in the weak resistance.

There are more and more Xinghan troops pouring up along the wells and ladders, and those who came up before have formed formations and gradually advanced, and the more and more panicked Xianbei soldiers rushed to the city with a brutal attitude. Zhang Baiqi and Li Damu saw that the overall situation had been decided, and if nothing else, it was only a matter of time before they captured Yunzhong. The two of them immediately glanced at each other, and invariably looked at the city gate tower where the sound of military trumpets and roars was constantly heard, and then they both roared, and the wolf owl guard generals immediately smirked and rushed towards the group of people whose clothes were clearly different from ordinary Xianbei soldiers.

The leaders of the Xianbei tribe, who were always paying attention to the Xinghan Army, immediately discovered their intentions, and hurriedly retreated while urging their relatives to intercept them. But how could the Wolf Guard's strong charge be so easy? Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, several elderly clan leaders looked at each other in horror, and turned around and rushed towards the city.

Not to mention that it will be the courage of the soldiers, the retreat and flight of the leaders of the Xianbei tribe caused a chain reaction: the Xianbei soldiers who were originally stubborn, at this time, when they saw that the leaders were about to run away, what kind of effort did they still fight? As a result, the Xianbei people, who were still trying their best to resist just now, lost the courage to resist in an instant after losing their backbone, and they fled to the city in one fell swoop, regardless of whether the spear head or the tip of the knife was stabbed in the back of the buttocks......
